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

Chapter 48, You're on the bottom, I'm on top.
This song title.
Zhang Xian's lips twitched violently, feeling a sense of helplessness, like someone who had just bought "Lei Bi" or "Funeral Cola" at a small supermarket.

The chorus also completely imitates the sentence structure of "Apple Fragrance".

Can you still hear Uncle Zhang's singing coming from the six alleys?

Are you busy today, ladies at Shui Zhi Yun Foot Bath Center?
"Brother Xian, this is a sister piece to your song 'Apple Fragrance.' Let's ride its coattails; maybe it'll become a hit!"

Seeing Zhang Xian frowning and remaining silent, Liu Dongxu spoke up to explain.

"Dongxu, there are quite a few submission channels now. Why don't you try submitting to music companies first?"

Although Zhang Xian rose to fame by associating with his father, the songs he wrote in high school weren't this bad.

The main problem with Liu Dongxu isn't that it's bad; it's that what he's doing isn't songwriting, but imitation, and a very clumsy one at that, mimicking everything from the song title to the lyrical structure.

Furthermore, he only provided the lyrics, and it seems he intends to use the original melody of "Apple Scent." Can this be called songwriting?
"Brother Xian, turn the page, there's another one."

Seeing Zhang Xian's hesitation, Liu Dongxu spoke up again.

"anything else?"

"You're quite prolific!"

Zhang Xian turned to the next page of his notebook, and when he saw the song title, he was shocked once again.

Body Positions

You are below, I am above.

You are in front, I am behind.

After watching Liu Dongxu's second song, Zhang Xianren was completely stunned.

He took a deep drag on his cigarette, then flicked the butt away. The cigarette butt, still carrying a sliver of embers, transformed into a dazzling display of light and color in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Dongxu, if you can release this song, it might actually become a hit."

Zhang Xian never dreamed that the trend of skirting the line of sexual content would eventually reach the music industry.

As he said, if this song could be released, it would definitely make a splash. The saying "lust is the primary productive force" is no joke.

The problem is, there's no platform where he can publish!
"Brother Xian, do you mean this song can't be released?"

"Of course we can't send it. The review environment in China is very different from that in the United States."

Zhang Xian shrugged and handed the notebook back to Liu Dongxu: "Why don't you try sending it to America?"

"Uh"

Liu Dongxu looked frustrated; he had absolutely no way to release his songs in America.

Besides, he only wrote the lyrics; the music was composed by AI. He had no idea how the lyrics and music would blend together.

Originally, he was thinking of taking a shortcut by selling the song directly to Zhang Xian, or having him help him sell it, but now it seems that this path is not feasible.

"Brother Xian, I'm stuck here now, can you help me think of a way out!"

"We have a loan of 12,000 yuan to repay every month, and Jiajia is pregnant, so future expenses won't be small either."

Liu Dongxu then pulled Zhang Xian aside and began to complain.

"There is a solution."

Zhang Xian thought for a moment and said, "You bought a Tesla, right? Before you find a job, you can drive for a ride-hailing service. If you work hard, earning 20,000 a month shouldn't be too difficult."

"what!"

"You want me to drive for a ride-hailing service?"

Liu Dongxu opened his mouth, looking shocked: "Brother Xian, I studied in America and came back from there!"

Zhang Xian shook his head, then reached out and patted Liu Dongxu on the shoulder: "Dongxu, you still have to be down-to-earth when it comes to making money."

"And it's not about making you drive for ride-hailing services forever; this is just a temporary measure until you find a job."

"Given your current situation, this is the only solution I can think of."

"Think about it some more yourself. I'm going back to work on my creative project."

After saying that, Zhang Xian went into his own courtyard, leaving Liu Dongxu alone, bewildered in the autumn wind at dusk.

Ride-hailing service?
Even dogs don't drive!
I'm a proud international student, and you want me to drive for a ride-hailing service?!

Liu Dongxu roared inwardly. Just then, his father, Liu Fusheng, walked up to him. Pang Dachun, Wang Shulan, and the others had already left; he was calling Liu Dongxu home for dinner.

"Dongxu, the burden on your shoulders is getting heavier and heavier. A loan of 12,000 yuan a month is no small amount. You must perform well at the company!"

As they walked home, Liu Fusheng spoke earnestly.

"Dad, don't worry."

"It's just a loan of 12,000, it's no big deal!"

Liu Dongxu replied, feigning composure.

After finishing his meal, he quickly returned to his and Wang Jiajia's room and downloaded the Didi driver app.

Twenty minutes later, Liu Dongxu completed the registration.

I became a proud Didi driver.

There's nothing shameful about earning money through hard work and being down-to-earth.

"Dongxu, what are you doing?"

Before the wedding, Wang Jiajia had already moved into the Liu family home. The two of them lived in the master bedroom that Liu Fusheng and Sun Fengyan had previously shared, with a different bed and some minor decorations.

Wang Jiajia was leaning against the bed watching videos when she saw Liu Dongxu fiddling with his phone for a while and couldn't help but ask him a question.

"I'll register for a ride-sharing service. My commute to and from get off work is quite long. If there are people going the same way, I'll give them a ride, which can help offset some of my electricity bill."

Liu Dongxu had already prepared an excuse. If people found out he was taking ride-hailing orders, he would say it was a carpooling service.

"Dongxu, you already work so hard, it's fine whether you accept this ride or not."

Wang Jiajia was playing the role of a virtuous wife, but she was quite surprised, because in her impression, Liu Dongxu was not the kind of person who knew how to manage a household.

Did her mindset change after getting married?
Or did I misjudge him before? Is he actually a practical person?

Because of the nature of her work, Wang Jiajia considered herself to understand men very well and to be very accurate in judging them, but Liu Dongxu's decision to accept a ride-sharing offer was something she really couldn't understand.

"Jiajia, as long as you and the child are comfortable, I don't mind if I have to work harder."

Liu Dongxu was touched by his wife Wang Jiajia's words and leaned over to touch her belly with a loving expression.

However, as he kept touching it, his hand became somewhat out of control.

"You can't do anything reckless in the first three months."

"Yes, yes, I'll control myself."

"Alright, lie down."

Wang Jiajia gave a coquettish laugh and tied her hair up.

The next day.

Zhang Xian still sleeps until he naturally wakes up.

Ding!
The No. 1 "Lying Flat" assistant earned 56,000 yuan yesterday!

The host has received double the reward, 42 million yuan!

The second "lying down" assistant earned 341 million yuan yesterday!

The host has received double the reward, 682 million yuan!

The moment I opened my eyes, 700 million had been deposited into my account!
There's no way to spend all this money!
Zhang Xian silently marveled at the incredible earning power of top female celebrities.

Yesterday alone, Chu Yourong earned more money than many ordinary people could earn in a lifetime; it was simply terrifying.

It would be even better if we had a few more support characters like this who can just lie down and relax.

As Zhang Xian was thinking, his phone suddenly rang.

It was Chu Yourong who called.

Wow, speak of the devil and he appears!

Zhang Xian answered the phone, and Chu Yourong's voice came through: "Zhang Xian, I'm at the entrance of your alley. Are you up yet?"
