Chapter 167: Chapter 161: Does He Look Incompetent?
Qiqi still wants to win, because the feeling of winning just now was really joyful and exciting!
The so-called family combination doesn’t necessarily have to be mom and dad; if it isn’t mom and dad who co, then like Li Youjia and Xu Yichen, aunts and their husbands in imitation family outfits can also participate.
In any case, it must be a man and a woman representing the dad and the mom respectively.
“That’s right,” Chen Xixi didn’t want Qiqi to feel that because his parents didn’t co, he was different from others or even unable to participate in many activities, making him unhappy.
She glanced around with her eyes and then smiled and said: “However… if you want to participate, I can find soone right now to pretend to be ‘Dad.'”
Jin Cheng, who was idling around in his apartnt, should be very willing to help, especially since there’s a free lunch involved.
Hope filled Lu Ziqi’s eyes again: “Really?! Then I want a pretend dad, and then we can win again!”
“Okay.”
Chen Xixi readily agreed.
She took out her mobile phone from her pocket and sent Jin Cheng a WeChat ssage.
She first sent a location, “Co to the kindergarten to stand in as the child’s dad for gas, and there’s a free lunch, coming?”
Jin Cheng, who was in the middle of gaming, imdiately clicked on the ssage and replied: “Wait for , I’ll be there soon.”
How could he not go when his good buddy asked him to?
Of course, the free lunch was also very important.
He really didn’t have much money in his pocket, and this ti going to the kindergarten, he guessed he would have to take the subway or bus, no more taxis, and he had never taken these things before.
Jin Cheng, seeing that his battery was almost fully charged, put away his charger, didn’t even glance at Zheng He, and left.
Zheng He didn’t ask Jin Cheng what he was off to do, since in his eyes Jin Cheng was just a show-off relying on won, a good-for-nothing. What’s the use of paying attention to a good-for-nothing?
Zheng He continued to look down at his phone, using his newly registered account to blend into Chen Xixi’s fan group.
According to netizens, Chen Xixi’s fan group had all sorts of freeloading sches. If indeed true, the sches Chen Xixi used were probably learned from this group, so next ti he also could sync information with Chen Xixi!
…
Following the phone’s navigation, Jin Cheng found the nearest subway station. Just as he arrived at the subway station entrance, a woman in her thirties or forties enthusiastically handed him a lighter.
He raised an eyebrow in confusion, looked down at the lighter in his hand, a cheap plastic feel with a row of eye-catching ads printed on it—Revitalize vigor, n absolutely can’t say they can’t, Hai City Boyi n’s Hospital.
“…”
Do I look that bad?
But… why does this lighter suddenly feel familiar?
It looks just like the one Chen Xixi had!
Could it be, Chen Xixi’s lighter also ca from here, not from so health check event at a n’s clinic for freebies?
What a huge misunderstanding!
Chen Xixi is actually a woman!
And here he was calling her bro.
Jin Cheng covered his face, feeling like he really… went too far.
And Chen Xixi, bless her, didn’t even hold it against him.
No wonder she was the woman he saw fit to be a wife.
Just now, Chen Xixi ssaged him to act as the child’s dad for gas; so the child’s mom… is she substituting that too?
If it’s like that, he suddenly felt a bit awkward.
Jin Cheng thought about it, and a blush crept from his ears down to his fair neck. As he descended the stairs, he unnaturally lifted a hand to touch the back of his neck, while his other hand slipped the lighter into his trouser pocket, quickening his pace.
Hai City Children’s Flagship Garden.
Teacher Liu went to get props for the gas, and in the anti, the parents and children had so free ti.
Li Youjia glanced at Chen Xixi and whispered, “Yichen, take the chance now to talk to her about it, otherwise if she leaves early, you’ll miss your opportunity.”
Xu Yichen: “No rush, there are too many people around now, it’s not convenient.”
Li Youjia pouted, her face showing unhappiness: “Do you not want to talk to her about it? Do you not want to introduce her to a boyfriend?”
“…” Xu Yichen sighed helplessly: “Fine, I’ll go now.”
Li Youjia was satisfied: “That’s more like it.”
Chen Xixi was chatting with the kindergarten children when Xu Yichen’s voice suddenly ca: “Xixi, I want to talk to you about sothing.”
Chen Xixi didn’t even lift her head, her tone sowhat cold: “But I don’t want to listen.”
Xu Yichen was silent for a few seconds, then slowly explained: “I know you’re upset about my suggestion to quit your job, but I’m doing it for your own good.
Moreover, I’ve been helping you look for a new job. I heard that Zhongjing Group’s newly launched project team is hiring. I’ve asked soone to contact them for you, and you should hear back within a couple of days.
With your capabilities and a recomndation from my friend, you’ll definitely get the job.”
Li Youjia’s father is a director at the company, and if Li Youjia is upset and bothers Chen Xixi, Chen Xixi definitely won’t have any chances to advance at the company.
He couldn’t give up a good promotion opportunity for Chen Xixi.
Sacrificing Chen Xixi for his promotion, then finding her another job afterwards to make it up to her, seed like the best compromise.
Chen Xixi certainly doesn’t care—the president of Zhongjing Group has promised her a position; she’d have to be brain-dead to take favors from soone who cost her a job.
Chen Xixi coldly responded: “No need.”
Xu Yichen: “Don’t act tough. As a young woman struggling alone in a foreign city, it’s not viable. Jiajia even introduced you to a boyfriend, the sales departnt manager from Zhongjing Group’s branch. He’s in a decent position, and if things work out, you’d have soone to look after you in Zhongjing Group, and I’d be able to explain to Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen with peace of mind.”
Chen Xixi laughed, “Li Youjia introduced a boyfriend? Please tell her that I have high standards, and a sales departnt manager doesn’t et them.”
Li Youjia wouldn’t introduce her to any bad matches unless her na was spelled backwards!
Xu Yichen sighed helplessly: “Do you know how much a sales departnt manager at Zhongjing earns each year? With your family background, finding such a man in a big city is like searching for a needle in a haystack.”
“That’s because you’re shortsighted.”
“…” Xu Yichen was speechless from frustration.
Chen Xixi moved to beco his neighbor when she was nine, he’s known her for fourteen years, well aware of her strong-willed and stubborn nature, straightforward and opinionated.
There’s simply no communicating with her.
Xu Yichen was silent for a while before he asked with concern: “How about that variety show you joined recently?”
“It’s still being fild.”
Xu Yichen frowned imdiately: “I advise you to drop out soon. Such shows have scripts and are manipulated behind the scenes; without a strong backing, you’re just wasting ti. The winner was already predetermined by the sponsors, and think about it, why would the show give you five million just like that? It’s too good to be true.”
Xu Yichen sighed deeply again: “Listen to , quit the program and et Jiajia’s friend. Otherwise, by the ti he finds a girlfriend, it’ll be too late for regrets.
Then wait for my news. Get ready in the next couple of days to start work at Zhongjing Group. Don’t lose a good job over this variety show.”
Xu Yichen continued: “Also, stop dreaming about becoming a star. Being a celebrity isn’t as glamorous as it seems, with no background at all, a girl like you won’t last in the entertainnt industry. What I’ve arranged for you is much more dependable.”
As soon as Xu Yichen’s words ended, a deep voice ca from beside them: “Who says she has no backing?”
