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

Chapter 7, Zhang Xian's Plan to Lie Down
"Shulan, wait a minute."

Seeing Zhang Dongshan and his son Zhang Xian enter the house, Liu Fusheng jogged to catch up with Wang Shulan.

"Brother Liu, is something the matter?"

Wang Shulan looked at Liu Fusheng with suspicion.

"It's something."

"This is your niece, Jiajia, right?"

As Liu Fusheng spoke, he looked Wang Jiajia up and down.

"Yes."

Wang Shulan nodded: "Jiajia, this is Grandpa Liu."

"Hello, Uncle Liu."

Wang Jiajia immediately greeted her politely.

"Hello."

Liu Fusheng nodded with a smile: "This girl is really beautiful."

"What's wrong? I heard you didn't take a fancy to Old Zhang's sixth son?"

Wang Jiajia didn't realize who Liu Fusheng was talking about: "Zhang Jia's sixth son?"

"It's Zhang Xian. Doesn't he have five older sisters?"

Wang Shulan explained from the side.

"Oh, we just don't share the same values."

Wang Jiajia and Liu Fusheng weren't very familiar with each other, so she gave a tactful reply.

"You're definitely holding back when you talk!"

"It's perfectly normal for you to look down on Zhang's sixth son. That kid idles around all day and doesn't even have a proper job. Any girl who marries him will suffer!"

"Look at him, ever since he lost his job, he hasn't bothered to look for one. He just goes fishing every day with his fishing rod. This kid's wasted!"

"Jiajia, by not getting together with him, you've dodged a bullet!"

Liu Fusheng first slandered Zhang Xian, and then expressed his feelings.

"Brother Liu, didn't you say you had something to do? What is it?"

Wang Shulan quickly changed the subject. After all, Zhang Xian was someone she was going to introduce to her niece, and now that things had gone wrong, she was also embarrassed.

"Our Dongxu is back from America."

"She doesn't have a boyfriend either, right? Since Jiajia wants to find a boyfriend, why don't you talk to Dongxu about it?"

Liu Fusheng began to enthusiastically recommend himself: "Shulan, our Dongxu has top students who studied in the United States. They can easily find jobs in China and earn hundreds of thousands a year like it's nothing!"

"Besides, you know our family's situation is no worse than Old Zhang's!"

"How about it, think about it?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Shulan subconsciously glanced at her niece, Wang Jiajia, and asked, "Jiajia, what do you think?"

"sure!"

Wang Jiajia nodded immediately. When she left the Zhang family, she was already thinking about where to find a replacement, but the other party actually offered himself up, and he was even a returnee from overseas.

This is truly a case of "after the darkest hour comes the dawn"!
"Brother Liu, where is Dongxu? Is he home?"

Wang Shulan asked.

"I'm not at home. I went out for a job interview. I submitted my resume overseas. It's supposed to be a very big company."

"But judging from the time, they should be back soon. Why don't you come to my house and wait for a while?"

Liu Fusheng then extended an invitation to the two of them.

The aunt and niece exchanged a glance and then nodded in unison.

At the Zhang family's doorstep.

Zhang Xian lay leisurely on the rattan chair, while Zhang Zhaodi squatted down beside him, feeding her dog "Weir" a sausage.

The puppy's name was given by Zhang Xian's fifth sister, Zhang Pandi, who said it sounded fashionable.

But this dog is a native Chinese dog, also known as the Chinese Rural Dog.

The little guy is a stray dog ​​that Zhang Zhaodi picked up. He is now two years old, lively, active, and very cute.

Zhang Xian scrolled through short videos with one hand while occasionally patting the dog's head with the other, looking quite relaxed.

"Xiaoxian, they're back."

Zhang Zhaodi saw Wang Shulan and Wang Jiajia return and whispered to them.

"Who are they?"

Zhang Xian subconsciously glanced over and then saw Wang Shulan and Wang Jiajia beside Liu Fusheng. As clever as he was, he immediately realized that the old man Liu Fusheng was trying to "hijack" the deal.

To be precise, it wasn't exactly a case of "hijacking," since Wang Jiajia wasn't interested in him either.

Zhang Xian turned his head away, pretending not to see the three of them, and continued scrolling through his phone.

"See? Zhang's little sixth son does this every day. All he does is fish, play on his phone, and play games," Liu Fusheng said quietly as he walked into his yard.

"Sigh, Xiaoxian used to seem so sensible, how did he end up like this?"

Wang Shulan sighed softly.

As the saying goes, it's hard to learn good things, but it's easy to learn bad things!

Liu Fusheng shook his head, ushered the two into the house, and quickly called out to the bedroom, "Wife, we have guests."

Upon hearing the shout, Liu Fusheng's wife, Sun Fengyan, came out of the bedroom with her phone in hand. She has recently become addicted to watching live streams and spends all day on her phone.

However, she doesn't use Douyin (TikTok), but is a loyal user of Kuaishou (a short video platform), and the streamers she follows are things like "a billionaire boss", "Dubai princess", and "Arabian prince".

Of course, these are all personas created by the streamers, and to young people, they are obviously fake and even laughable.

Damn it, the Dubai princess and the Arab prince are both Chinese!

Moreover, it's laughable that these foreign princesses and princes travel thousands of miles to China just to bring benefits to their "family members".

But some elderly people like Sun Fengyan firmly believe it!
It just goes to show that there are too many Chinese people. These unscrupulous livestreamers only need to filter out the "leeks" who believe them, and they can make a fortune.

“Honey, this is Shulan’s niece, Jiajia. She’s here in Beijing for work and doesn’t have a boyfriend.”

“My son Dongxu just came back from America, and I was thinking of letting them get to know each other.”

Liu Fusheng explained the purpose of Wang Shulan and Wang Jiajia's visit.

Sun Fengyan, who is retired at home, is naturally very concerned about her son's marriage. She first looked Wang Jiajia up and down, and then a bright smile appeared on her face: "Please sit down, please sit down, Dongxu will be back soon."

"Girl, what would you like to drink? We have everything at home."

It has to be said that Wang Jiajia's appearance is very deceptive. Her first impression is that she is gentle and virtuous, the kind of daughter-in-law that the older generation likes.

"Auntie, I'll just have bottled water."

Wang Jiajia responded obediently.

"okay."

Sun Fengyan nodded with a smile and quickly went to get some water.

Doorway.

Liu Dongxu returns from his job interview.

He wasn't in a good mood right now because the interview didn't go well; the interviewer actually asked him why he had tattoos.
Liu Dongxu directly retorted, saying that he studied in the United States, which is part of American culture.

The interviewer told him on the spot that the company didn't need American culture and that he wasn't a good fit!

Normally, if you don't pass the interview, you won't receive a formal notification. If you don't receive a call within two days, it means you haven't made it to the second round of interviews.

Liu Dongxu, on the other hand, learned the interview results on the spot, which can be considered as receiving "special treatment".

"Brother Xian, it's been a long time!"

Liu Dongxu saw Zhang Xian lying on the rattan chair and immediately walked over with a big smile.

"It's Dongxu!"

"Dad told me you were back. I was wondering why I hadn't seen you around!"

Zhang Xian stood up from the rattan chair and gave his childhood friend a perfunctory hug.

The two are the same age, but Liu Dongxu's birthday is four months younger than Zhang Xian's, so he has always called him Xian-ge (older brother Xian) since childhood, and their relationship is quite good. However, something happened in high school that almost turned them into enemies.

The reason was quite dramatic: the two fell in love with the same girl, who liked Zhang Xian and started dating him. Liu Dongxu held a grudge and reported their early romance to the head teacher, resulting in both Zhang Xian and his girlfriend being punished.

After that, their relationship became distant, and when Liu Dongxu went abroad to study, they lost contact altogether.

"I submitted my resume to companies in China while I was abroad, and as soon as I got back, I went for an interview."

"How did the interview go?"

Zhang Xian asked casually.

"It's alright. The interview process in China is quite complicated, and there might be two more rounds."

"However, it doesn't matter whether they want me or not, there are so many companies waiting to give me offers anyway!"

Liu Dongxu shrugged smugly: "By the way, Brother Xian, what kind of work do you do now?"

He was asking a question he already knew the answer to, because his father, Liu Fusheng, had already told him that Zhang Xian had been looking for a job.

"me!"

"Lie flat!"

Zhang Xian stretched and then lay back down on the wicker chair.

"Wow, that's really cool."

"Unfortunately, I don't have the confidence to lie down and be content; I still have to work like a beast of burden for others!"

Liu Dongxu sighed, feigning frustration, and then added, "But Brother Xian, you're only 22. You can't just lie around like this forever. You can't live off your parents forever."

Zhang Xian nodded in agreement: "You're right. My dad is over fifty this year, and he can only live off me for another twenty years at most. So my plan is to find a wife as soon as possible, have a son, and then live off my wife. I can also live off my sisters. When my dad is gone and my son has grown up and can earn money, then it will be time for me to live off my son!"

"Perfect!"
