My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1330 New Year Arrives
Otherwise, she really doesn't know how she'll repay the debt in the future.

The moment the thought of repaying the debt of gratitude through her own abilities crossed Bai Xiaoxiao's mind, she knew it was simply unrealistic. Who were they, and who was she?

The difference between the two is like heaven and earth.

Perhaps the last thing she could offer was her still pretty body, that of a young girl, but looking at the person sitting in the passenger seat, Bai Xiaoxiao knew that was even less realistic.

With such a beautiful wife, how could he possibly be interested in someone like her?!

Aside from her age and being a college student, which are two somewhat shining points, she had no appeal whatsoever. Even though Teacher Zhang only assigned her sister to be the receptionist at the studio... Bai Xiaoxiao knew that the salary wasn't low, and more importantly, the work was relatively easy.

It's especially suitable for her sister.

After all, her sister doesn't have a high level of education and doesn't even know how to use basic office software. If she were given any difficult work under these circumstances, she wouldn't be able to handle it.

"You're welcome, it was nothing."

Zhang You replied casually.

For Zhang You, this was no big deal. He had to hire someone eventually anyway. He didn't need a receptionist in the office building on Haicheng Road, but it seemed that his own singer had asked Li Xin to help him find a place.

Zhang You hadn't asked about the specifics, but he'd overheard that they'd found a place and spent over 200 million yuan. This time, it wasn't a rental, but a purchase. However, it would be a while before they moved in, as the studio's office area needed to be redesigned. In short, he didn't need to worry about these things.

As for her own diva... she doesn't need to worry about that.

After designing the interior blueprints, she would check the effect. If it was satisfactory, she would let people install it that way; if not, she would change the blueprints. As long as the money was in place, there were plenty of people eager to do this kind of thing.

In recent years, not only the film and television industry, but also the real estate industry has entered a period of decline. Furniture bosses downstream of the real estate industry have been leaving one after another. During this period, countless decoration workers could not find work. Under such circumstances, why wouldn't people rush to do this kind of work?

The renovation quote will definitely be much lower than before. Even though the purchase of the new studio seems to have cost more than 200 million, Zhang You believes that 200 million would not have been enough to buy it in previous years. It might have required 300 million or 400 million.

That's just how the market works.

The real estate market is at the top of the value chain, and there are hundreds of related companies, ranging from various building materials to decoration materials and home appliances and furniture. Once the real estate market is in a downturn, many companies will suffer as a result.

The same applies to the film and television industry. If entertainment companies don't make money and have few projects secured, many people will be out of work. Conversely, even if not everyone can make a lot of money, at least they can make some. It won't be like now, where many film and television industry practitioners are choosing to switch careers and become ride-hailing drivers.

However, this is a very normal thing.

No industry can remain prosperous forever; the rise and fall of an industry is a normal market phenomenon.

Zhang You didn't ask Bai Xiaoxiao whether she was married or not. He simply offered her a job, and that was about it.

Seeing that her husband had arranged for Bai Xiaoxiao to work in the studio, Jiang Yiren didn't raise any objections; it was just a job. However, she brought up another matter, directly asking, "Are you really planning to give Zhang Wangshu the 20 million?!"

"if not!?"

Zhang You countered with a question, and before Jiang Yiren could speak, he blurted out, "That girl..."

As he spoke, Zhang You couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Indeed, it's as if she truly understands human speech. Since this girl is giving me, her godfather, so be it."

"..."

Jiang Yiren pursed her lips.

Even though her husband had said he would give it to her not long ago, and the girl had just come out of the delivery room, staring at her husband with her eyes wide open as if she really wanted the money, Jiang Yiren had agreed at the time, but now... she was a little reluctant.

Even her own daughter gets scolded for mentioning money, yet this little girl, Zhang Wangshu, managed to swindle 20 million. Sensing her diva's apparent reluctance, Zhang You cut to the chase, "It wasn't your money. After the production rights for 'The Voice of China' were sold, the money went into the studio's account and you took it without a word. Now, I'm asking you to transfer 20 million to Zhang Yi to keep for later use by Zhang Wangshu. If you refuse, I'll talk to the company and the iMusic platform, and they'll handle my taxes from now on, so the studio won't have to do tax reporting anymore."

"I'm just saying it."

Hearing her husband say that, Jiang Yiren retorted irritably, "If we really have to make the iMusic platform and company pay taxes, the tax burden will be very heavy."

"I enjoy being a law-abiding taxpayer."

Zhang You spoke directly.

"Then what's the point of me opening a studio!?"

Jiang Yiren rolled her eyes.

She opened a studio and listed her husband there, which is a legal way to avoid taxes. If she really had to pay personal income tax... the amount would be terrifying.

For this reason, many celebrities in the entertainment industry choose to evade taxes.

Earning 100 million yuan means paying about half of it in taxes. Ordinary people might think it's normal to pay more when your income is that high, but they won't think that way when they actually reach that level of income.

After parking her car in the basement garage, Bai Xiaoxiao belatedly realized that she had forgotten to thank Teacher Jiang. She gave a wry smile, admitting that she was sometimes not quick to react when it came to interpersonal relationships.

I need to practice more.

Even if Teacher Jiang doesn't care, she shouldn't forget basic manners.

About seven or eight minutes after entering the courtyard, Zhongxia drove up to the gate with her younger sister Zhongxue and the two girls. Compared to her master Zhang You's steady driving, Zhongxia, as his eldest disciple, was undoubtedly more composed.

After dinner, the maids set off fireworks in the courtyard.

Jiang Yiren and the nanny each held a baby as they stood under the eaves and looked up. Besides their own family, many residents in the community started releasing their babies after dark.

The sky, where no stars or moon could be seen, was lit up by all sorts of fireworks.

Two days ago, there were occasional firecracker sounds when passing through the streets during the day, and fireworks would also appear at night. But tonight, they appeared on a large scale. In addition to the fireworks in her own community, Jiang Yiren could also see more magnificent fireworks rising into the sky in the Repulse Bay area not far from her home, and then bursting into thousands of fiery trees and silver flowers.

"son"

Seeing her eldest son staring wide-eyed at the fireworks, Jiang Yiren leaned close to his ear and whispered, "After the New Year, you and your brother will both be one-year-olds."

talking.

Jiang Yiren kissed her eldest son on the cheek.

"Raise High"

Seeing that Li Ran seemed listless and couldn't even hold the fireworks high, Zhang You quickly reached out and took her hand, pointing the fireworks directly at the sky. Then, the fireworks shot up and burst into the sky.

These are the most beautiful days in the city.

Fireworks lit up the sky as migrant workers returned home, welcoming the New Year amidst laughter and joy.
