My wife is in my arms

Chapter 464 The Wind Rises on the Fifteenth
But think about it carefully.

Lin Bao'er thought Zhang You's idea was indeed quite good.

There really is a female celebrity in the entertainment industry who is labeled as "grandpa-like." She mentions her grandfather when participating in variety shows, she mentions her grandfather when singing, and in short, her grandfather is bound to come up in every sentence.

She is truly a unique figure in the entertainment industry.

In this industry, even strong connections must be kept private, because keeping them private is the only way to deter those with ulterior motives. Once they are brought out into the open, although no one will dare to touch them, it will damage one's reputation with the audience.

"Brother Zhang, stop joking."

Chen Ziming spoke up.

"I'm not joking, I'm serious."

Zhang You said seriously.

"All right"

Even Lin Bao'er couldn't stand it anymore. She said directly, "Aunt Zhong, if you want Zhang You to write a song for Zi Mo, that's fine. But if you keep writing for her non-stop, that's going to be too much. As for your question about why Zi Mo isn't popular, don't even think about asking him. Even if you asked me, I wouldn't know. Zi Mo is clearly so talented."

in fact.

If an artist has excellent qualities in all aspects but is not popular, the company will conduct a lot of analysis and then make targeted adjustments.

But some people can become popular just by slightly adjusting their development direction, while others can't seem to change their approach no matter what they do. If you really want to analyze why they don't become popular, you can find a whole bunch of reasons.

But fire... fire is fire.

In a flash, they become so popular that even the company is baffled. But that's the reality. Entertainment companies can mass-produce idols based on audience preferences, but once they're created, the market trend changes, and audience preferences change as well.

Just like tough guys, there was a time when handsome, tall male celebrities were very popular with little girls, but now?! It's effeminate men with makeup who are popular with little girls.

Market trends often shift faster than brokerage firms adjust their market development strategies, so a stock can either become popular or not... Besides not having the right time or the right opportunity, there's also the possibility that a stock simply can't become popular.

"I was just asking casually, and you're really going at it with your Aunt Zhong. Alright, then write a song. But Xiao Zhang, let's make this clear beforehand, it has to be a good song. My daughter likes 'Ask,' so write something similar."

The middle-aged woman spoke with a smile.

"..."

Zhang You no longer wanted to speak.

This was no different from what Vice Principal Chen had said. Perhaps this family had come specifically to put on a unique performance for him and Lin Bao'er. After thinking for a moment, Zhang You nodded helplessly and said, "No problem."

"That's good. Xiao Zhang, how old are you this year?"

Wait until all the dishes are served.

The middle-aged woman asked with a smile.

now.

Neither she nor Chen Ziming showed any signs of being affected by Vice Principal Chen's infidelity. However, the more this was the case, the more it proved that Vice Principal Chen was about to suffer a great deal.

Moreover, from the word "grandfather," Zhang You knew that this Vice Principal Chen was likely someone who came from an ordinary background, achieved a bright future by kneeling on someone's knee, and then gradually became powerful enough to lose control.

Thirty-four

Zhang You replied, "That's seven years older than our Zi Mo. Little Zhang, are you married?"

The middle-aged woman continued to ask.

"Aunt Zhong, that child is already nine years old."

Lin Bao'er said irritably, "Why do you keep asking these questions?! Are you planning to marry Zi Mo to him just because he's single?!"

I was just asking.

As she spoke, the middle-aged woman said with a hint of earnestness, "Xiao Zhang, now that you're married, you should live a good life with your wife. Don't be like my husband. He's so old, all his hair has fallen out, and he still acts like a lewd old man, like a student... I spit on him. I'll give him a piece of my mind when I get home. By the way, do you have a boy or a girl?"

"daughter"

Zhang You replied with a smile.

"Daughters are good, but if we could have a son, we'd still prefer a son. Just now, if I hadn't called my brother over, my wife and I really wouldn't have been able to handle my husband and that little vixen. But a son is different; he just goes in and gives her a good beating. A son is a mother's strong support..."

Aunt Zhong kept talking.

Zhang You's head was starting to ache from listening to all this.

He suddenly realized that perhaps it wasn't that Vice Principal Chen wasn't human, but rather that he simply couldn't stand it. That mouth of his hadn't stopped talking since the farce ended; he was a complete chatterbox.

Even if Vice Principal Chen wasn't looking for any romantic relationship with Wu Xiaomin, he still had to find someone who wasn't talkative! Besides, Wu Xiaomin was quite beautiful and, more importantly, young.

"Mom, please don't say that!?"

Seeing that Zhang You seemed a little impatient, Chen Ziming quickly spoke up to stop him.

"I'm only saying all this to Xiao Zhang because I consider him like a nephew or niece. As the saying goes, 'Those who don't listen to their elders will suffer the consequences.' Xiao Zhang, as someone who's been through it all, your Aunt Zhong just wants you young people to live well. I'm happier if you live well than if I live well myself. Xiao Zhang, do you and your wife have any plans to have a second child?"

My wife is pregnant.

Zhang You replied helplessly.

"That's good, that's how it should be. Young people in this society don't want to have children, saying there's too much pressure. But what pressure is there in having children? If you're well-off, you can eat well; if you're not, you can eat poorly. By bringing a child into the world, you're giving them the opportunity to experience life. Unlike some young people who get pregnant and then have an abortion, that's a terrible sin... You can't see it when they're young, but when they're old, they'll suffer the consequences. The debt of an abortion can't be repaid even in several lifetimes. Look at those who need surgery when they're old; they're paying off their debts early. That's murder!"

"..."

Aunt Zhong's last words almost broke Zhang You's composure.

He was completely impressed by Aunt Zhong. Zhang You felt that if she entered the entertainment industry, she would have a much higher chance of becoming famous than her daughter, Chen Ziming. Just look at that mouth... she could play a mother-in-law or auntie and it would be a perfect natural performance.

Zhang You barely managed to finish the meal under Aunt Zhong's education and indoctrination.

After leaving the private room, Aunt Zhong still held Zhang You's hand and said, "Little Zhang, I've found you to be a really good kid. Everyone else thinks I talk too much, but little do they know, these are all golden words of advice. Besides, I only said so much because I feel a connection with you. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't even bother saying a word. At least about going to the music academy, I'll take care of it for you when I get back. It's not a big deal. And what about the future?!"

Aunt Zhong patted Zhang You's hand and instructed him, "Xiao Lin knows where I live. I'm usually home alone and don't have much to do. If you have time, come over to my house often and chat. Don't worry about bothering me; your Aunt Zhong likes lively atmospheres, the more lively it is, the happier I am. Also, my son Zi Mo, I'll have to trouble you, as his older brother, to take good care of him from now on. If there's anything she hasn't done properly, just say so. If she doesn't listen, tell me and I'll teach her a lesson."

Lin Bao'er watched helplessly as Zhang You's face gradually turned green under Aunt Zhong's sincere and earnest persuasion.

This is truly an injustice...
