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

Chapter 21, Marrying a Wife Who Can Support the Family
"Xiaoxian, did you ask Chu Yourong out?"

Upon seeing Zhang Xian emerge from the room, Zhang Pandi, who had been waiting for some time, immediately asked.

"Uh, she's quite busy with work today."

After returning to his room last night, Zhang Xian played games and didn't contact Chu Yourong at all. Fortunately, he had already prepared himself when Zhang Pandi asked him to make an appointment with Chu Yourong yesterday.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Pandi was immediately disappointed, but she could understand; it was normal for a big star to have a busy work schedule.

"Where are Lao Zhang and Zhao Di?"

Zhang Xian pulled up a chair and sat down at the dining table. Seeing that neither his father nor his third sister, Zhang Zhaodi, were there, he asked a question.

"Dad took Zhaodi out, saying they were going shopping."

When Zhang Dongshan left, he asked Zhang Pandi if she wanted to come along, but she thought she might meet Chu Yourong today, so she didn't go out with her father and Zhang Zhaodi.

Zhang Xian knew his fifth sister, Zhang Pandi, well. Studying medicine was tedious and boring. During her postgraduate studies, she spent most of her time in the hospital as her supervisor's assistant. She was usually quite busy and rarely had time to rest. If it weren't for Chu Yourong's matter keeping her occupied, she would probably be out with her father right now.

Hey~
Zhang Xian sighed silently, then sent Chu Yourong a WeChat message: Want to go fishing?
Zhang Xian would never agree to go shopping with two women, but he would be willing to take them fishing.

This way, he can break the Air Force curse without affecting his ability to do so, and he can also help his fifth sister, Zhang Pandi, fulfill her dream. It's a win-win situation.

After sending the WeChat message, Zhang Xian happily ate his breakfast. Ever since his father's income skyrocketed, the quality of breakfast at home had also improved dramatically. They could now enjoy authentic mutton soup or stewed beef early in the morning.

at the same time.

Chu Yourong had just finished a phone call with her lawyer, Jiang Hong.

Yesterday, Jiang Hong had a round of negotiations with the legal team of Chu Yourong's entertainment company, but the outcome was not optimistic. The other party was tough and refused to budge an inch.

Chu Yourong and her lawyer Jiang Hong were prepared for this outcome; from the perspective of the entertainment company, it was impossible for them to back down right away.

Negotiation is essentially a process of bargaining. At the beginning, both sides will definitely set high prices, and then gradually work their way down the line.

But the final level of the negotiation will depend on the bargaining chips held by both sides.

Jiang Hong suggested that Chu Yourong should directly register her marriage with her boyfriend and then throw the marriage certificate in the face of his legal team; this would be the most direct and effective way.

If they don't register their marriage, they can take a set of wedding photos first, and then hold an engagement banquet or something to convince Chu Yourong's company that she really wants to get married.

Of course, you can also do nothing and wait it out for a while.

But dragging this out is clearly not good for Chu Yourong. Right now, the entertainment industry is extremely competitive, with newcomers emerging one after another.

As long as she doesn't terminate her contract, Chu Yourong can't take on new jobs. The exposure she maintains through her relationship is only temporary. In the end, celebrities still rely on their work to speak for themselves.

After ending her call with Jiang Hong, Chu Yourong saw a WeChat message from Zhang Xian.

Fishing, fishing again!
What couple goes fishing every single day on their date?

Chu Yourong pouted and mentally ranted.

However, she still needs Zhang Xian's cooperation right now, so she took the opportunity to talk about taking wedding photos while they went fishing.

Chu Yourong's idea was to take a set of wedding photos and post them online to see the company's reaction.

So she immediately replied to Zhang Xian on WeChat: Okay, I'll come to your house to find you!

Zhang family.

After finishing a large bowl of mutton offal soup, Zhang Xian rubbed his stomach. Lying flat on his back was quite comfortable, but the problem was that if he ate like this every day, his abs would be further and further away, and he might even become a big fat man.

Hmm, I need to control my diet.

But you can't be too indulgent with yourself.

As Zhang Xian was thinking, his phone suddenly rang. It was Chu Yourong replying to his WeChat message.

I thought he was angry last night and wouldn't agree.

She seems to be a girl who doesn't cause trouble.

Zhang Xian acknowledged Chu Yourong's "forgiving" attitude. "Xiao Xian, how's your job search going?"

“I heard from my older sister a few days ago that her husband finally managed to get you an interview for a university librarian position, but you messed it up during the interview.”

“You’re a grown-up now, you can’t just stay at home all the time, you need to find a proper job.”

Seeing that Zhang Xian had finished eating, Zhang Pandi, the fifth sister, began to give him a lesson in ideology and politics.

"I don't stay at home every day."

“I go out every day, for good reasons,” Zhang Xian retorted.

"You call fishing a serious business?"

Zhang Pandi rolled her eyes.

"Fishing is definitely the main business. Do you know how Chu Yourong and I met?"

"Could they have met while fishing?"

"Bingo!"

Zhang Xian snapped his fingers: "If I hadn't gone fishing every day, rain or shine, I wouldn't have met Chu Yourong."

"You can't just spend all your time fishing and dating, can you? You're a man, a man needs to have his own career, otherwise how will you get married and support your family?"

Zhang Pandi looked serious as she tried to guide her "useless younger brother" onto the right path.

After hearing her words, Zhang Xian laughed and said, "Isn't it enough to just marry a wife who can support the family?"

Well.
Zhang Pandi was stunned and speechless for a moment.

"You mean you want to be a kept man, a live-in son-in-law?"

"Xiaoxian, you are the only boy in our Zhang family this generation. Your parents have always had high hopes for you since you were little. How could you have such thoughts!"

Zhang Pandi slammed her hand on the table in exasperation: "Xiaoxian, your thinking is too dangerous, it must be corrected!"

"Who said I was going to be a live-in son-in-law!"

Zhang Xian waved his hand and said with a magnanimous air, "Haven't you heard the saying 'eating a woman's rice'?"

"Eating a free lunch?"

Zhang Pandi frowned and complained, "What do you mean by 'living off a woman'? That's just being shameless and thick-skinned!"

"Face is useless anyway!"

Zhang Xian shrugged: "When you have no money, your pride is worthless, and no one will respect you. But when you have money, you don't need to care about other people's opinions at all."

"So-called face is nothing but a shackle you put on yourself!"

"Just look at those so-called successful people, none of them have any shame!"

Zhang Xian spoke with conviction, but after listening to his "fallacies and heresies," Zhang Pandi was stunned. She carefully considered what Zhang Xian said and found that it actually made some sense.

"Oh, by the way, I'm going fishing later, do you want to come along?"

Zhang Xian went out of the house to organize his fishing gear.

"I'm not going!"

"Whose daughter is fishing?"

Zhang Pandi curled her lip in disdain.

However, no sooner had she finished speaking than Zhang Xian added, "Chu Yourong is going too."
