Chapter 24, Chu Yourong lives at home?
Liu Dongxu originally planned to show off, but Zhang Dongshan suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Even though Wang Shulan and her father Liu Fusheng raved about his car, the price and size of the two cars were hardly convincing.
arrive home.
Liu Dongxu said somewhat dejectedly, "If I had known that Uncle Zhang was buying Zhang Xian a Wenjie M8, I would have bought a BMW X5 or a Mercedes-Benz GLC!"
"Mercedes-Benz and BMW, indeed!"
"This car costs 230,000 yuan, and I have to pay back 5,000 yuan every month!"
"Don't forget, you don't even have a job yet!"
Liu Fusheng retorted to his son with a dark face. After all, he had originally planned to buy a car for around 100,000 yuan, but Liu Dongxu insisted on taking out a loan to buy this Tesla. Now he was complaining that the 230,000 yuan Tesla was too cheap.
"Finding a job isn't difficult, so I have to be very selective."
"Dongxu, that's good enough. You can find something decent to do first, and then switch to a more suitable job!"
Sun Fengyan tried to persuade him, saying that her son had been back from studying abroad for some time now, and although he went out for interviews almost every day, he hadn't received any positive feedback.
At first, Liu Dongxu said the company he was interviewing with offered an annual salary of around 500,000 yuan. Later, he said the company would offer an annual salary of around 400,000 yuan. But in the last two days, he hasn't mentioned the 400,000 to 500,000 yuan annual salary at all. Today, while having breakfast, he even complained that the job requirements for a salary of over 200,000 yuan were so high.
Sun Fengyan knew her son well. If he could have gotten into a good university in China, the elderly couple wouldn't have had to spend almost all their savings to send Liu Dongxu abroad.
I thought that after studying abroad and getting a prestigious degree, I could earn back the money I spent on my studies. But judging from the current situation, it seems that international students aren't as sought after as they used to be.
"Then I should find a big company too!"
"We can't go to those small workshops that we've never even heard of."
Liu Dongxu retorted, then sighed, "Zhang Xian has been lying at home for months, and Uncle Zhang hasn't said anything. I've only been back for less than half a month, and you guys are already urging me all the time!"
"I'm actually a little envious of Zhang Xian now!"
"If you envy others, then go and acknowledge Zhang Dongshan as your father!"
When they were at the entrance of the alley, Liu Fusheng was worried that his brat would compare him to Zhang Dongshan, and sure enough, he couldn't escape this comparison.
Seeing his father's anger, Liu Dongxu stopped talking. He knew best how his job search was progressing. After these days of interviews, he had long lost the arrogance he had when he first returned to China.
He had assumed that as an American student, he would be highly sought after by major companies, but in reality, many large companies didn't even give him an interview opportunity.
The two large companies that sent him for interviews rejected him in the first round, and even after he lowered his salary expectations, he still couldn't find a "mentor" who appreciated him.
The Zhang family next door.
Dinner was a very lively affair.
Although Zhang Pandi's cooking skills were not as good as Zhang Dongshan's, she still managed to make several home-style dishes quite delicious.
Chu Yourong was not coy at all. Sometimes she would eat her rice heartily, and other times she would chat with Zhang Pandi and Zhang Dongshan, as if she were already Zhang's daughter-in-law.
Zhang Xian, on the other hand, became the one who was neglected. After he had almost finished eating, he took the car keys his father had given him and left home alone.
Zhang Xian hadn't expected his father to buy him a car; he had thought his father would save up to buy him a house for his wedding first.
When he arrived at the roadside where he parked, Zhang Xian first walked around the brand-new Wenjie M8. The car was indeed big, but it didn't really appeal to Zhang Xian, who was in his early twenties. He still preferred sports cars; those were much cooler.
However, Zhang Xian could understand his father's idea. There were many people in the family, and this M8 was a 6-seater, which would be convenient for family travel.
Once I've saved enough money, I'll buy a sports car for fun.
Although the car his father bought wasn't exactly Zhang Xian's dream car, he was still very interested in it.
Almost no man dislikes a car, especially since this is a popular new energy vehicle, and I've heard that its intelligent driving system is also very impressive.
Zhang Xian took it for a spin and found the driving experience quite good; the car also attracted a lot of attention on the road.
After driving back to a parking space near the alley, Zhang Xian just parked the car when he saw Liu Dongxu standing under a streetlight smoking.
Judging from his expression, he seemed to be in a bad mood.
"Dongxu, what's wrong? Why are you smoking here so late at night?"
Zhang Xian walked over and greeted him. "It's all because of work, Brother Xian. I really envy you. You've been lying at home for so long and no one has been nagging you. My parents can't wait for me to go back to work tomorrow."
"How do you know no one is pressuring me? My older sister found me a job a few days ago."
"So how did you deal with it?"
Liu Dongxu's eyes lit up, and he sought advice from Zhang Xian, a "veteran flat-lying master".
"I deliberately failed the interview."
Zhang Xian responded casually, naturally not mentioning that he had threatened his brother-in-law.
"Is this okay?"
Liu Dongxu was stunned; he never expected that such a thing could be done.
Previously, Zhang Xian said he wasn't planning to work and would stay at home sponging off his father, sister, and wife. Liu Dongxu didn't quite believe him; he thought it was just an excuse Zhang Xian made to cover up his inability to find a job.
Unexpectedly, he genuinely didn't want to work.
"Brother Xian, are you really planning to never work again?"
Liu Dongxu brought up the old matter again.
"You thought I was joking before?"
Zhang Xian shrugged: "I said I wouldn't go to work, and I won't go, not even if the King of Heaven himself comes!"
"Niu beep!"
Liu Dongxu gave a thumbs up: "Brother Xian, can you give me some advice on how to stop my parents from pressuring me?"
"Aren't you getting married soon and preparing for the wedding? Isn't that a sufficient reason?"
"Yes, how could I not have thought of that!"
Liu Dongxu slapped his forehead: "There's still a lot to do before getting married. I'll focus on finding a job after we're married!"
"Brother Xian, you're really quick-witted!"
Zhang Xian smiled, shook his head, and hummed a little tune as he went home.
As soon as he stepped into his yard, laughter came from inside the house.
It seems that Chu Yourong gets along very well with his family.
The acting was quite realistic!
Zhang Xian silently grumbled to himself as he strode into the house.
Zhang Dongshan has already gone to livestream to make money, and the dining table has been cleared away.
Chu Yourong, Zhang Pandi, and Zhang Zhaodi were all squatting on the ground, surrounded by the little yellow dog Will and the little turtle Dadan'er.
Perhaps seeing a turtle for the first time, the little yellow dog Will was very excited, jumping and bouncing around "Boldie," while Boldie hid his body inside the turtle shell. Will even tried to grab the shell with his paws.
This very scene made the three women burst into laughter, with Chu Yourong even making a meme-worthy expression, completely losing control of her facial expressions.
That's so childish.
Zhang Xian shook his head, glanced at his father's room, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly: Dad is still the most reliable. With such a hardworking support player, how could his own "lying down" career not be successful!
"Xiaoxian, Yourong will be staying at home today."
Go and buy her some toiletries!
Just as Zhang Xian was about to sneak back to his room to play games, Zhang Pandi suddenly stood up and said something.
"Living at home?"
Zhang Xian was taken aback at first, then asked with a suspicious look, "Sleep with me?"
