Going to work? Even a dog wouldn't go!

Chapter 10, Do I Want a Wife?

Ding!
The first "lying down" assistant's income is being settled yesterday.

The No. 1 "Lying Flat" assistant earned 26000 yuan yesterday!
The host has received double the reward of 52000 yuan!
The next day.

Zhang Xian had just opened his eyes when he received 5.2 yuan.

nice!

A great day starts with receiving money!
However, Dad's income has really skyrocketed!

It was only a little over two thousand the day before yesterday, but yesterday it increased tenfold.

That's why everyone says internet celebrities make money!
Hey, that’s not right!
It seems like something's missing today.

Zhang Xian stretched. It was already 10 a.m., and Zhang Zhaodi should have woken him up long ago.

But he didn't come today.

Zhang Xian walked out of the room while yawning. Zhang Zhaodi was sitting in the living room watching TV.

Why didn't you wake me up today?

"Dad told me not to call him, saying it's so you can sleep a little longer!"

"Wow, Old Zhang's awareness is pretty good!"

Zhang Xian sat down at the table with a satisfied smile. The breakfast had gone cold, but it was even more lavish than yesterday's, with braised beef, roast chicken, sausage, and the only vegetable dish being cucumber salad with pig's ears.

Making money really makes a difference; breakfasts are all meat dishes now.

Where is Old Zhang?

Zhang Xian served himself a bowl of plain porridge and asked questions as he ate.

"I went to the recording studio to record a song."

"Xiaoxian, your older sister said you have a university interview today. Are you going to be late?"

Zhang Zhaodi looked at Zhang Xian, who was eating breakfast slowly and deliberately, and asked him a question.

"It would have been better if you hadn't mentioned my older sister!"

"Zhang Zhaodi, what did you say to my older sister yesterday?"

Zhang Xian made a fierce face.

Yesterday, his older sister Zhang Xinan grabbed his ear and scolded him, saying that all he did all day was fish and play games, and that it was all because of Zhang Zhaodi, this "traitor," who betrayed him.

"I...I need to go to the restroom!"

Feeling guilty, Zhang Zhaodi ran away.

After having breakfast (or lunch), Zhang Xian, as usual, slung his fishing rod over his shoulder. His goal for today was to avoid going home empty-handed!
He had been trying to catch fish for two days straight, but hadn't used much bait, which made him seem incredibly useless.

Riding his electric scooter to the supermarket at the entrance of the alley, Zhang Xian planned to buy a few cans of Red Bull and spend the whole day by the river to see how things would go.

Just as he parked his electric scooter, two familiar figures walked out of the supermarket—it was Liu Dongxu and Wang Jiajia.

"Brother Xian, where are you going?"

Upon seeing Zhang Xian, Liu Dongxu's eyes lit up, and he subtly took Wang Jiajia's hand, as if declaring his ownership.

Wow, they're together already?

Zhang Xian was completely bewildered. He remembered that he had given Liu Dongxu these instructions last night.

So this guy completely ignored what I said!

Zhang Xian looked up at the two of them again. Wang Jiajia still had a large red ball of thread, while Liu Dongxu had six red threads above his head. The red threads above their heads were not yet connected.

"Want to go fishing?"

Zhang Xian asked casually.

"No, I'll go shopping with Jiajia."

As he spoke, Liu Dongxu raised their clasped hands and waved them in front of Zhang Xian: "Brother Xian, Jiajia and I are together now, she's my girlfriend."

"Jiajia also told me about what happened between you two."

"Brother Xian, don't take it to heart. It just means you two aren't meant to be."

"Jiajia and I are planning to get married, and she will be your sister-in-law in the future."

“You and I grew up together, and I don’t want this to affect our brotherly relationship.”

It was clear that Liu Dongxu was quite pleased with himself at that moment, like a victor showing off his "spoils of war".

Zhang Xian was speechless for a moment. After a brief silence, he said, "I wish you happiness," and then strode into the supermarket.

"Ah, what a lonely figure!"

Liu Dongxu shook his head and sighed, then said, "Jiajia, if you know a suitable girl, you can introduce one to Brother Xian."

"forget it."

"With his standards, he'll never find a wife in his lifetime."

Wang Jiajia rolled her eyes dismissively. Last night, when she was chatting with her friends, she was still complaining about Zhang Xian's "criteria for choosing a partner".

"If you can't find someone as pretty as you, it's not impossible to find someone ugly."

Liu Dongxu chuckled.

He was already imagining the scene in his mind where he would lead Wang Jiajia and Zhang Xian would lead a 200-pound tank, and the two of them would walk out of their own yards at the same time and meet.

That "wife-stealing revenge" from high school can be considered a complete revenge.

When Zhang Xian came out of the supermarket, a light drizzle began to fall.

But Zhang Xian, who had been out of work for two consecutive days, was determined to "catch a fish" today, or he wouldn't go home.

So, braving the light rain, he resolutely went to the riverbank.

at the same time.

The Douyin live stream room with the nickname "Jingxi Electronics Factory".

This live stream is different from most live streams; there's no one selling products, and no attractive men or women trying to entice viewers.

The live stream was simply showing footage from a surveillance camera, which happened to be pointed at the riverbank, displaying the calm water and the scenery along the river. Such a bland live stream should have attracted few viewers, yet it currently had over ten thousand viewers online simultaneously.

The reason for this grand occasion dates back to the day before yesterday. This live stream was just something that employees of the Jingxi Electronics Factory started casually to complete a live stream task assigned by their superiors.

Unexpectedly, the camera captured a fisherman on the riverbank. This wouldn't normally be unusual, but the fisherman didn't catch a single fish all day.

Some curious netizens started watching the live stream, only to find that the fisherman had missed out on two consecutive fishing trips.

After the video spread, a large number of onlookers rushed to the scene, so all of the more than 10,000 people were actually waiting for the fisherman to appear.

"It's almost noon, they're not coming today, are they?"

"Two consecutive days of no catches, they must have changed fishing spots."

"Everyone, let's go home. It's raining outside, he's unlikely to come."

"Could it be that he knows he's being live-streamed? Is that why he's not coming?"

"Look, he's here!"

"Holy crap, it's really here!"

"Rain or shine, this fisherman is so dedicated!"

"It wasn't a wasted wait after all. Let's see if he'll back down today."

As soon as Zhang Xian appeared by the river, the live stream chat exploded with excitement.

However, the camera was actually quite far from the riverbank, so the person's face was not clearly visible in the live stream; one could only judge from their demeanor that they were probably a young man.

Braving the light drizzle, Zhang Xian began baiting the area and then cast his line.

at the same time.

In the coffee shop on the other side of the river.

Two girls with exquisite makeup are chatting. One has her hair tied in a high ponytail, and the other has short hair that reaches her ears.

The girl with her hair tied in a high ponytail rested her chin on one hand and leaned forward unconsciously, and then the two grandmothers sat down at the table.

The girl with short hair tried her best to lean closer to the table, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't achieve the same stunning effect as the girl opposite her.

She sighed dejectedly, "Rongrong, sometimes you really can't blame those bosses. With a figure like yours, even I'm envious, let alone those perverts."

"Why don't you just give in? The contract still has 5 years left. The entertainment industry changes so fast these days, who will remember who you are in 5 years?"

"Besides, you'll be 26 in five years, and you'll have no age advantage at all. It will be almost impossible for you to make a comeback."

Chu Yourong, with her hair tied in a high ponytail, pursed her lips slightly: "Everyone has told me this 800 times already, Han Ziwei, you're not here to persuade me too, are you?"

"How can it be!"

"What do you take me for? I'm the best person in the world, okay!"

Han Ziwei rolled her eyes.

"Then why do you want me to hang out with those greasy old men!"

"Sister Huan said this is the simplest way to solve the problem."

"Does she mean there's a more difficult way?"

"Yes, there really is one."

Han Ziwei nodded, then lowered her voice and said, "Sister Huan said there was a bug in the contract we signed back then. One of the clauses was that if you get married, you automatically leave the group!"

"However, getting married is also a breach of contract, and a huge penalty for breach of contract is required."

Chu Yourong pouted slightly. She had been reading her agent's contract so many times lately that she had almost worn it out, so she naturally saw this provision.

Han Ziwei's lips curled up slightly: "But our country's laws stipulate freedom of marriage. Once a citizen reaches the legal marriage age, no individual or organization is allowed to obstruct their marriage."

"Therefore, if the company seeks compensation on the grounds of breach of contract during the marriage, the court will most likely not support it!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yourong's eyes lit up immediately: "So, all I have to do is find someone to marry!"

"Yes, that's how it is in theory."

“However, there is a possibility of losing a lawsuit, but Sister Huan said that the chances of winning are very high.”

"Okay, let's do it that way!"

"I'm going to find someone to marry right now!"

Chu Yourong jumped up from her seat.

"Finding someone to marry isn't that easy, is it?" Han Ziwei frowned, somewhat speechless. "You can't just pick anyone off the street."

"It's not like we're really getting married, so what's the harm in just finding someone?"

Chu Yourong shrugged lightly, glanced towards the riverbank, and then giggled: "Hmm, it's him!"

15 minute later.

Chu Yourong arrived at the riverbank with an umbrella.

The rain hadn't stopped and was even threatening to intensify, but Zhang Xian was determined to catch some fish in the river. He wouldn't leave until he did.

He let the raindrops fall on him, remaining unmoved, just like Jiang Taigong, sitting calmly on his fishing platform.

Suddenly, the raindrops falling on him stopped, and someone had held an umbrella for him.

Zhang Xian subconsciously turned his head and saw a graceful young woman standing behind him with a smile on her face.

"you are?"

Zhang Xian looked suspicious. Although the girl had a great figure and was very pretty, he was certain that he didn't know her at all.

"Hello, my name is Chu Yourong."

"Oh, is there something you need?"

Zhang Xian silently repeated the other person's name. It sounded familiar, but he couldn't quite place where he had heard it before.

"Well, there's something small."

"I wanted to ask you, do you want a wife?"
