Zhang Jizhou had no experience dealing with women, and his partner wasn't around, so he had no one to ask.
"Fang Yan," Zhang Jizhou held the microphone, having to come up with a solution on his own. Sure enough, after a few rounds of high-speed thinking, he actually came up with a plan. "Zhang Laowu is still after my mother's dowry. If you alert him, he might secretly hide my mother's dowry during this time. Where will we find it then?"
"When my mother married into the family, the cash she brought was mostly used up shortly after she passed away. What remained of her dowry were gold antiques."
Over the years, Zhang Laowu's living expenses have all been covered by my allowance; those gold and antiques should be worth quite a bit of money.
"Do you know where he hid your mother's dowry?"
Sure enough, these words immediately piqued Fang Yan's interest.
nonsense!
Gold!
An antique!
In a few decades, these will be priceless treasures.
You might be able to exchange an antique for a house, or even more.
These are the assets of Zhang Jizhou's biological mother, and rightfully belong to Zhang Jizhou.
Zhang Jizhou's things have belonged to Xiaoyuzai for decades. They are rightfully theirs, so why should they give them away cheaply to others?
Given Zhang Laowu's personality, he would never tell Zhang Jizhou where he hid these treasures.
Zhang Laowu indeed wouldn't tell Zhang Jizhou the address where he hid his treasure.
I didn't pay much attention to it before, nor did I think about it much.
Looking back now, it's clear that Zhang Laowu was always on guard against Zhang Jizhou in his daily life.
For example, Zhang Laowu never mentioned a word to Zhang Ji about how much money the family had, how much land they owned, which land they didn't cultivate themselves but gave to others to cultivate, and how much rent they collected each year.
Once, I don't remember what it was about, but Zhang Jizhou casually asked, "How much money do you have at home now?"
Zhang Laowu's face immediately changed, and he got angry on the spot, "How much money could the family have? Over the years, I have worked hard to farm and raise you, and all the money I have earned has been used to support the family. How much money could there be?"
"It's because I'm incompetent; I can't earn much money, and I won't be able to leave you any money in the future."
Logically, since Zhang Laowu has two sons, "you" should be used here.
But he did use "you". It seems that he always wanted to give all the Zhang family's things to the big fat boy.
But it's okay.
Did Zhang Laowu really think that Zhang Jizhou wouldn't know if he didn't say anything?
Don't they realize that when Zhang Jizhou first joined the army, he was a reconnaissance soldier, and he has a very sharp eye?
He could uncover anything that slipped up in front of him, even the smallest clues.
Fortunately, Zhang Laowu had already slipped up in front of him.
Zhang Jizhou had even secretly gone to see the dowry.
“Yes, I know,” Zhang Jizhou said.
Fang Yan, who had never even seen an antique in her previous life, became incredibly excited, "Ah! So, we're going to become millionaires soon?"
"No……"
She reacted quickly; as soon as she finished speaking, she realized that she couldn't say it like that, since she and Zhang Jizhou hadn't officially started dating yet.
Even if Zhang Jizhou manages to acquire those gold antiques, what does that have to do with her?
However, before she could even open her mouth, she heard Zhang Jizhou's magnetic voice say, "Well, to be more precise, you're about to become a millionaire."
Even though you can't see the other person, it's not hard to tell that he must be smiling and speaking softly.
His voice, like the strongest liquor, has become incredibly mellow and rich with the passage of time.
Combined with his gentle and captivating voice, and the inherent magnetism of his tone, it's simply irresistible.
Even though Fang Yan wasn't voice-sensitive, her face flushed red from his voice, and she said coquettishly, "What does this have to do with me?"
"Once I get those, I'll give them all to you."
Like a model student, Zhang Jizhou answered earnestly, "I am only interested in military affairs, and I will only continue to advance in this field in the future. I don't understand these things, so it is most appropriate for me to entrust them to you."
"I won't..."
If you still can't understand what Fang Yan is trying to say after hearing this, then Zhang Jizhou should retire and go home to farm.
He decisively interrupted Fang Yan again, saying, "We can discuss these things after we get my mother's dowry back."
In daily life, subtly build closer relationships by influencing the other person through attitude, words, and even actions, so that she eventually accepts the current situation.
Fang Yan secretly raised an eyebrow. Oh, is this straight man using a tactic against her?
In just half a month, he has become so smart?
I remember during our last two phone calls, he clearly had trouble speaking.
Now?
He interrupted her twice today.
Think about it carefully, when did he interrupt you?
Wasn't it just when she wanted to distance herself from the relationship?
Oh!
Is he trying to brainwash her?
How can he let her gradually accept their relationship in the familiar and intimate atmosphere he creates?
Oh!
Wasn't the author supposed to portray the male protagonist as a clueless, straight man with no emotional sensitivity?
How could a straight man who is emotionally oblivious come up with such a scheme?
If Zhang Jizhou could hear Fang Yan's thoughts over the phone, he would probably raise an eyebrow at her and throw out a question like, "Who are you looking down on?"
This scheme was actually his own idea.
Some of these principles are applicable.
For example, at work, he can use methods such as deliberately approaching someone and catering to their preferences to gain their trust or soften their influence.
This same principle can also be applied to the relationship between him and Fang Yan.
However, it will require some innovation and modification.
"Zhang Laowu has always been lazy and has poor physical health. On the surface, he seems to be fine, but he has done something wrong and is probably living in fear behind the scenes."
Unlike others who work tirelessly from dawn till dusk and are at least physically robust, his body is incredibly weak. What if he's easily frightened and dies in no time? Then you'll be all alone; how will you face the Zhang family?"
Even though Fang Yan hadn't personally confirmed that she would absolutely not provoke Zhang Laowu before he returned, Zhang Jizhou was still worried. He continued to persuade her, "That son of Zhang Laowu is so barbaric and unreasonable, can you handle him? Not to mention the Zhou family members as well."
Huang Hongmei and her children are no pushovers.
Fang Yan, all alone, has no chance of getting Xue Wanxue's dowry from them.
After he said that, Fang Yan realized that this was indeed a big problem.
Although Xue Wanxue's dowry should rightfully be returned to Zhang Jizhou.
But none of the Zhang family members are reasonable people.
After thinking about it, she still...
