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

Chapter 34, The Truth Comes Out: I'm a Second-Generation Star
Although Lin Xiwei's outfit today had a somewhat demure and girl-next-door feel, she was actually quite lively. Hearing Hu Chuan say this, she immediately joked, "Then you should continue waiting for other passengers."

"We're not going the same way, and we're going to different destinations!"

After saying that, Lin Xiwei sat down in the empty seat next to Zhao Peng.

"No way! I promise I'm driving an empty car right now. You can tell me where you want to go, and I'll go!"

Hu Chuan is known for his thick skin. He grinned and prepared to sit next to Lin Xiwei, but Xu Yuanyuan took the initiative and sat down next to Lin Xiwei first.

"Brother Peng, let's change seats!"

Hu Chuan immediately looked at Zhao Peng, who was sitting between Zhang Xian and Lin Xiwei.

"Don't change!"

"It's not easy for me and Brother Xian to get together, we have so much to talk about!"

Zhao Peng resolutely refused. Although he used Zhang Xian as an excuse, he actually wanted to communicate more with Lin Xiwei. He was the sports committee member in high school and was a star athlete in the school. He had feelings for Lin Xiwei back then, but he didn't show it as obviously as Hu Chuan.

Later, Lin Xiwei started dating Zhang Xian, and he had to put his feelings aside. Now, when he sees his goddess from back then again, and she is still single, it's impossible for him not to have any thoughts.

However, Zhao Peng has gained too much weight and feels somewhat inferior. If he had known he would be sitting with his former goddess today, he would have definitely gone on a crash diet to lose weight.

The arrival of Lin Xiwei, the former school beauty, immediately ignited the desire of the boys present. Each of them, like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, tried their best to show off in order to attract Lin Xiwei's attention.

Of course, Zhang Xian, as the only man who ever won Lin Xiwei's heart, is not in this category. Now that he has settled down, he is focusing on keeping a low profile.

"Brother Xian, where have you been making your fortune lately?"

Hu Chuan boasted about his family business, and seeing that Zhang Xian remained silent, he decided to compare him to Lin Xiwei's ex-boyfriend.

This also made Lin Xiwei realize that she was no longer in school and that family support was often more important after entering society. For example, Hu Chuan's parents were used car dealers who ran a showroom and earned a considerable income.

After graduating from a second-tier university, he followed in his father's footsteps and became a used car dealer. Although the used car industry is also very competitive, his own business is much better than working like a beast of burden.

Also, since he's a used car dealer, he can drive all sorts of luxury cars every day, which makes it very convenient for picking up girls.

However, most of the luxury cars he drives are quite old, so they can't fool sophisticated girls; they can only fool those who are not very knowledgeable.

In comparison, Lin Xiwei, the former "white moonlight," is far more attractive.

When Hu Chuan asked about Zhang Xian's job, everyone else's eyes also fell on him. Since they had only recently graduated from university, they all valued their jobs highly.

Whether someone is doing well or not can be seen from their work performance.

"Me? I'm unemployed at home."

Zhang Xian answered truthfully.

When they heard that Zhang Xian was unemployed, everyone was quite surprised. After all, he was a college graduate and a local of Beijing. Even if he had to use connections, he could have found a job to make a living. It was not like he was completely unemployed.

"Brother Xian, I remember you studied trade economics, right? Is it hard to find a job?"

Zhao Peng then asked a question.

"Given the current economic climate, do you think it's easy for economics majors to find jobs?"

Zhang Xian shrugged.

He studied at Beijing University of Technology and Business, majoring in trade economics.

Among the many universities in Beijing, Beijing University of Technology and Business is really inconspicuous. It is neither a 985 nor a 211 university, and many people have never even heard of it.

"Brother Xian, don't be discouraged. Why don't you come with me and sell used cars? You can easily make hundreds of thousands a year."

Hu Chuan chuckled: "You studied trade economics, isn't used cars also a form of trade?" "Brother Bi, stop your magic tricks already!"

Zhao Peng chimed in: "Your family sells all your used cars to individuals, that's called car dealership. The kind of business that exports in bulk to foreign countries is called trade!"

"I'm a used car dealer, a car dealer!"

Hu Chuan hated it when people called him a car dealer, so he immediately shouted to correct them.

"Wait a minute, Brother Xian, you can drive a Wenjie M8 even when you don't have a job. That car costs over 400,000 yuan!"

At this moment, Xu Zhiyang said with a suspicious look that he had just met Zhang Xian when he arrived and knew that the other party was from Kaiwenjie M8.

"What? Brother Xian, that M8 outside is yours?"

Hu Chuan looked at Zhang Xian with surprise. As a car dealer, he was most sensitive to car prices. Among the domestically produced new energy vehicles, especially those that take the high-end route, the Wenjie M8 is considered to hold its value very well.

However, the main point isn't about preserving the value of the car right now. The main point is that Zhang Xian actually drove a car worth over 400,000 yuan. Most of the people present had only recently graduated from university and didn't even own a car. Even if they did, it was just a cheap car worth around 100,000 yuan. To be able to drive a car worth over 400,000 yuan, he was definitely a "dragon among men".

Of course, this is in reality; it's a different story on Douyin where everyone seems to own a Ferrari.

"Brother Xian, you've really been hiding your true abilities!"

"No wonder they don't work, they're simply not short of money!"

"Brother Xian, please help me out. How can I drive a Chevrolet M8 at 22?"

Everyone sighed with admiration, their gazes towards Zhang Xian now different from before. It turned out that his claim of being unemployed was just a low-key gesture; in reality, he was quietly making a fortune.

Zhang Xian looked around at everyone, then chuckled and said, "Alright, since that's the case, I have no choice but to lay my cards on the table."

"Yeah, I'm not pretending anymore, I'm actually a second-generation star!"

"A celebrity's child??"

Everyone was dumbfounded. Since they were all high school classmates, they knew that Zhang Xian had a father who was a singer, but he didn't seem to be very famous.

Just then, the wedding emcee walked onto the stage. Before the wedding ceremony officially began, there was a performance on stage. Just now, a girl's violin solo had attracted the attention of many guests.

The girl's performance ended, and the host came back on stage to announce: "Next is the last program before the wedding ceremony. Please welcome the famous singer Zhang Dongshan to perform 'Apple Fragrance'!"

Wow~!

"The Scent of Apples!"

"It's so popular lately!"

"Did they even invite the original singer?"

Upon hearing the host's announcement, the audience erupted in excitement. "Apple Fragrance" had become a viral hit online, and almost everyone, young and old, had heard of it.

This seemingly ordinary wedding actually managed to get the original singer to perform?!

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on the center of the stage.

Dressed casually, Zhang Dongshan walked onto the stage with great enthusiasm. As the intro began, he said, "Brother Liu and I have been neighbors for decades. I watched Dongxu grow up. Today, Dongxu is getting married, and as his uncle, I am very happy. I would like to dedicate a song to the newlyweds and offer my sincerest blessings!"

Previously, as a relatively unknown singer, Zhang Dongshan participated in many wedding and funeral performances and collaborated with many wedding planning companies.

Therefore, this kind of occasion is very familiar to him. However, the difference is that before, he was an unknown singer who didn't attract much attention even when he performed on stage. Now, it's different. At this moment, almost everyone in the audience has raised their phones, and he has become the focus of attention and a big star that everyone is chasing.
