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

Chapter 58, A Family
After saying that, Zhang Xian's gaze fell on the top of Han Ziwei's head, and he started to look gossipy.

A red thread.

To Zhang Xian's surprise, the red thread was connected to Han Ziwei's right hand.

This wasn't the first time Zhang Xian had encountered this situation. In the first few days after acquiring the Gossip Eye skill, he often scanned the tops of everyone's heads with a gossipy mentality.

Once, he deliberately waited outside a high school to see what the future of the nation's students was like.

Then he saw that many boys had a red line connecting their right or left hand above their heads.

The meaning is quite obvious: these young men have never had a girlfriend, or at least have no experience playing cards, but they know about it and have even put it into practice to show off.

Han Ziwei is currently in the same situation.

After this discovery, Zhang Xian felt that he might actually be able to make a female friend like Han Ziwei.

Han Ziwei got into a taxi to go home, lost in thought.

Zhang Xian hummed a little tune as he walked home. It was his first time trying to be a scumbag, and he felt that he had done a pretty good job, at least he hadn't been slapped in the face by Han Ziwei on the spot.

In his view, this was success.

"Brother Xian, how did the talks go?"

As they passed by the Liu family's house, Liu Dongxu suddenly darted out of the yard.

With such a big melon, he had to take a bite.

"I refused."

Zhang Xian said with a serious face, "You know what kind of person I am. She is Chu Yourong's best friend. How could I date her best friend right after breaking up with Chu Yourong!"

"what?"

"You really rejected her? You rejected Han Ziwei?"

Liu Dongxu was shocked. He had thought that the two of them could reach an agreement after he left.

After all, Han Ziwei's personal qualities are what they are; if it were him, he would definitely agree without hesitation.

"There's no way this could be fake."

"We just broke up, let's take it slow and talk about it later."

Zhang Xian gently patted Liu Dongxu on the shoulder: "By the way, how was the driving today?"

"I made over two hundred today."

When the topic of driving for ride-hailing services came up, Liu Dongxu immediately perked up: "Brother Xian, let me tell you, there are skills involved in driving for ride-hailing services, and I think I've already got the hang of it."

Liu Dongxu rambled on and on about his insights.

Zhang Xian left with the words "Keep up the good work" and slipped away, but couldn't help but sigh to himself: Indeed, the environment can change a person.

Dongxu, who used to be very ambitious, has already integrated into the ride-hailing industry after driving for two days. He can be proud of himself for getting a job that pays more than sixty yuan.

However, this is not necessarily a bad thing for Liu Dongxu. Being down-to-earth is always better than being overly ambitious. If he can really drive a ride-hailing car well, earning 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a month is not a problem.

"Xiaoxian, why are you only just getting back!"

"Xiaoxian, we've been waiting for you! Dad and my older sister have prepared a whole table of delicious food!"

The Zhang family was unusually lively today. When Zhang Xian returned home, he discovered that all his sisters except for his second sister, who was far away in Hengdian, had returned.

The eldest sister, who was the only one to get married, also brought her husband, Zhao Shuyang, back with her. A whole table of sumptuous dishes was laid out on the dining table.

"Wow, what day is it today?"

Zhang Xian was both surprised and delighted that his family was all together in a long time; he actually quite enjoys lively gatherings.

Especially when his older sisters are all home, it makes him feel like he's still a child. And that childhood stage is often the happiest.

"Everyone has time today, so let's go home and get together."

"Xiaoxian, go wash your hands, dinner is ready soon!"

The eldest sister, Zhang Xinan, came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of braised carp and told Zhang Xian to wash his hands with a smile.

"Got it!"

Zhang Xian responded, washed his hands, and sat down at the table.

Soon, the whole family sat down around the dining table.

Older father Zhang Dongshan seemed to be in a good mood, and even specially opened a bottle of Moutai. His brother-in-law Zhao Shuyang quickly poured a glass for his father-in-law, and then poured a glass for himself and Zhang Xian.

"Except for Shengnan not being here, our family is quite reunited today. Let me say a few words."

Zhang Dongshan raised his glass, glanced at Zhang Xian, and said, "Thanks to Xiao Xian's creative talent, our family's life is getting better and better. Not only have I become a so-called famous singer, but I've also established a music company!"

"Currently, our company has two artists under its umbrella, besides myself: Chu Yourong and Han Ziwei. They're called artists, but they're really cash cows!"

"So, from now on, our family will never be short of money!"

"Little Four and Little Five, one of you is doing an internship and the other is pursuing a master's degree, so you don't earn much money. You used to always save money, but you don't need to anymore. Eat and drink as you please, buy clothes as you want. If you run out of money, you still have your dad!"

"Xi Nan, haven't you and Shu Yang always wanted to move to a new house? Go ahead and look at some houses. If you're short of money, just tell Dad!"

"This first toast is to our family's happy occasion!"

At this point, Zhang Dongshan handed the wine cup in his hand forward, and the family members raised their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.

Setting down his wine glass, Zhang Dongshan's gaze fell on Zhang Xian, and he spoke again: "Our family's good life today is all thanks to Xiao Xian. I'm not bragging, but Xiao Xian's talent would be on par with Li Bai and Du Fu in the Tang Dynasty."

"Others cry and whine when they break up, but our Xiaoxian won't!"

"Not only did he not know how, he was also able to write a song based on this theme that became a hit all over the country. If you ask me, Xiaoxian is the reincarnation of the God of Literature who has fallen into our family!"

"Yes, yes, Xiaoxian is our family's academic star!"

The eldest sister, Zhang Xinan, quickly chimed in.

“I agree. Xiaoxian’s song ‘Decent’ is so good. I’ve been listening to it on repeat all day!” Zhang Laidi added.

"After my classmates found out that 'Decent' was written by my younger brother, they all asked me to help them get his autograph!"

"Xiaoxian, could you sign a few more autographs for me later? I'll take them back to school tomorrow," Zhang Pandi quickly replied.

Zhang Xian didn't think much of the fact that his sisters had all suddenly returned home. He genuinely assumed that everyone had time and had arranged to come back together.

But after hearing his father and three older sisters' "unusual" remarks, Zhang Xian realized that there was time for everything!

Everyone had seen the news and knew that he and Chu Yourong had broken up, so they rushed back to comfort him and kept emphasizing his importance.

I guess she's worried that I might have some bad thoughts about her!

This is most evident in Zhang Dongshan's father, who rarely praises himself. Even when "Apple Fragrance" became a huge hit and made him a "famous singer," he didn't say many words of praise.

As a result, he praised himself to the skies today.

"Xiaoxian, breaking up isn't a big deal. Before I married your older sister, I also went through a breakup. But then, I met your older sister!"

"So, breaking up isn't necessarily a bad thing!"

"Every cloud has a silver lining; maybe something amazing is waiting for you!"

Brother-in-law Zhao Shuyang stopped pretending and started offering comforting words.
