Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five

After listening to Gao Erzhuang's description, Chen Duo also spoke expressionlessly:

"I told you, he's amazing..."

Chapter 583 Returning to Familiar Places: Is Jay Chou Really That Popular?

"Zhou Fengliu! Have you even cared about your child's grades?"

"I take care of everything at home, from rice and oil to household necessities! I even bought you the underwear you're wearing!"

"After paying the mortgage and car loan, what's left of that little money you earn each month? How are you going to support my child and me?"

"No money, no money, no money... If you don't have money, why don't you go earn some? You're a man, you should be the one to support this family..."

...

What home?

What child?

I have no money?

No... This isn't my life!

Zhou Fengliu was suddenly awakened from his sleep and sat up abruptly on the hotel bed, his forehead covered in a little sweat.

Bathed in the faint light filtering through the curtains, he glanced around and gradually calmed down.

It was just a dream.

Zhou Fengliu licked his slightly dry lips, his expression showing a hint of lingering shock.

He just had a dream.

In the dream, he wasn't a strategist director who knew everything, he had no money, and no special abilities; he was just an ordinary worker, just like in his previous life...

Not only is he broke, but he also has a mortgage and car loan to pay. He has elderly parents to support and young children to raise. His wife complains that he doesn't earn enough money, and his child is crying for food—it's a time when expenses are high...

Working like a beast of burden, then being treated like a servant after get off work... life is utterly hopeless.

Forget about going to a bathhouse for a massage; even just getting a scrub at a public bathhouse requires careful consideration of whether or not to use vinegar...

terrible!

This monotonous, predictable life of cattle and horses... it's terrifying.

"Damn it, thank goodness it was just a dream!" Zhou Fengliu consoled himself.

To be honest, even fighting alone in Japan a while ago wasn't as terrifying as this dream he just had...

A four-legged money-devouring beast! And family responsibilities... these completely sealed his life, making it impossible for him to ever be a womanizer again!

If Zhou Fengliu weren't a womanizer...would he still be him?!

Seeing him shake his head, trying to pull his attention away from the dream, she opened the curtains, and a ray of winter sunlight streamed into the room, bringing a touch of warmth.

Ok.

The weather is so nice.

Suitable for listening to music in brothels...

Zhou Fengliu thought to himself.

A moment later, he changed his clothes and evaluated various foot massage and bathhouses in Shenzhou.

After a flurry of activity in Sakura, and then returning to find Wang Ye and deal with Gao Erzhuang's affairs, he hadn't had a moment to rest...

Being in a familiar place and doing familiar things allowed Jay Chou to gradually relax.

Shenzhou is nice, but it always feels like something is missing.

As Zhou Fengliu left a bathhouse called "Le Tang Hui," he silently sighed.

What's missing?

Um...

We almost felt like kindred spirits.

Thinking of this, Zhou Fengliu missed Xu Si a little, the "Emperor Bathing in Yellow" of North China...

Why not take advantage of this break and go for a stroll in North China?

Just do it.

With this idea in mind, Zhou Fengliu booked the latest high-speed rail ticket and rushed to Tianjin overnight.

On this side, Gao Lian was just about to host a banquet for Zhou Fengliu with Gao Erzhuang to thank Chairman Zhou for his great kindness, but as soon as he dialed the number, he heard from Zhou Fengliu that he had already left.

Jay Chou is gone.

They left overnight.

Carrying the high-speed train and leaving at top speed...

After hanging up the phone, Gao Lian fell into deep thought.

Who exactly is in North China? Why are they in such a hurry to leave?

...

late at night.

Zhou Fengliu arrived in Tianjin.

He didn't tell Xu San and Xu Si about his trip to Tianjin beforehand, as he wanted to give Xu Si a surprise.

Arriving in this familiar city, walking through its familiar streets and alleys, Zhou Fengliu felt as if scenes from the past flashed before his eyes...

Although South China was his base of operations, North China was his first home after transmigrating... He had researched every foot massage parlor and bathhouse in this city, and he had tried every fast food restaurant near the North China branch of NaDuTong...

Rongwei Residential Area...

The golden cup is enough.

Before he knew it, Zhou Fengliu had arrived at this place.

Looking at the magnificent plaque and decorations in front of him, he pursed his lips, and memories of the past flashed through his mind.

My wallet feels like it's going to break down.

Back then, with that meager salary, coming to this place would have been a huge drain on his wallet...

Zhou Fengliu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn't go in. The reason was simple: he had already tested too many massage parlors today, and no foot could withstand multiple rounds of testing...

He continued wandering aimlessly, without any particular destination...

Not long after, he returned to the old neighborhood where he used to live.

Standing downstairs, he looked up at the floor where he used to live. Back then, he was very poor when he rented this old apartment, attracted by the cheap rent...

If Xia He hadn't treated his home like a private garden, he probably would have stayed there much longer...

Xia He...

This woman is really...

I work from 8 AM!

They'd been separated for so long, why were they still entangled? They should just forget about each other... Zhou Fengliu said his relationship with Xia He was purely a karmic entanglement...

Fortunately, Xia He is behaving quite well now...

Zhou Fengliu didn't go upstairs to take a look; he just wandered around downstairs, remarking on the shops he'd visited, noting that they had new signboards, different from what he remembered...

A moment later, he left the old neighborhood and continued wandering aimlessly...

About half an hour later, as if possessed, he found himself back in the city center, downstairs in the building where Yanzi had rented him the apartment...

The city center truly lives up to its name; even though it was late, there were still quite a few young people coming and going. Despite the chilly weather, some young women were still wearing black stockings to ward off the cold...

"Hey handsome, want to add a green bubble?"

Zhou Fengliu was downstairs reminiscing about his life upstairs when two scantily clad young women in their early twenties came up to him asking for his contact information...

"Who? Me?"

Zhou Fengliu pointed to himself and asked.

"yes..."

"?"

Zhou Fengliu looked at the heavily made-up young woman in front of him and silently shook his head.

Although he's known as the "Little Hu Ge of Tianjin," he's not the young man he once was; he's almost thirty, and there's a slight generation gap between him and these younger folks...

After being rejected by him, the two little girls didn't bother him and left directly.

In this fast-paced era, the beginning and end of a story can happen in an instant...

"I'm really getting old. If this had happened two years ago, I definitely would have..."

Zhou Fengliu was just sighing, before he could finish speaking, when he heard another woman's voice slowly drift over:

"Hey handsome, can I have your contact information?"

"?"

Hearing the voice behind him, Zhou Fengliu raised an eyebrow slightly.

what's the situation?

Am I really that popular among young people now?

Zhou Fengliu was about to refuse when he turned his head and looked at the object of his refusal, but the words of refusal stopped in his throat.

Seeing a hint of surprise flash across his face, he changed the subject and teased:

"Want my contact information? Sure, just give me five million 'V's'."

...

P.S.: I'm just asking for everything. Dear godfathers, please send some small gifts to help Jay Chou speed things up!
