Xu Ziyu really made it clear that he had been eating irregularly recently.
Whenever he had some free time, he couldn't stop thinking about what Xiao Zhou was doing, whether he had eaten well, whether he had quarreled with anyone... It made him a little neurotic.
"Ning Su's side"
"Don't mention him." Ning Su was even more serious. In order to avoid trouble, he hadn't contacted her alone for a long time.
"Heh." Xu Ziyu sneered, parked the car, and took out his VIP card.
The waiter showed us the way and arranged a relatively private room.
Xu Ziyu felt it was rather boring to have dinner with just the two of them. He was about to call for help when Mo Zechuan stopped him. "I'm asking for some advice from you. Why are you always asking for help?"
"Okay." Xu Ziyu ordered a few dishes and asked the waiter to serve them slowly. "Go ahead and talk. I'm listening."
"What is the process for you to keep a lover?"
Xu Ziyu rolled his eyes and sipped his tea, saying, "Give me the money, sign the contract, build a villa, throw it in, and be done with it."
"And what if he won't take anything?"
"Dude, you're really putting me in a difficult position. I rarely meet someone who doesn't seek anything." Xu Ziyu drank a cup of tea slowly and said, "Unless he's after a reputation."
Such things as status are usually only given after marriage. He is not in a hurry to get married, so why should he give him status?
"What if they're boyfriend and girlfriend?" He thought, if that's the kind of status, then it's dispensable. Breaking up at any moment, floating like duckweed, isn't the kind of status Xiao Zhou seeks.
Xu Ziyu's eyes nearly rolled to the sky. He filled Mo Zechuan's cup with tea and sat down. "People like us don't need boyfriends or girlfriends. We'll all be arranged to get married in the future. It's better to keep someone as a mistress."
Time is scarce to begin with, and when working, they seem to be working 24 hours a day, so how can they have time to please women? Not to mention establishing an equal relationship, that is not what their circle pursues at all.
What they want is someone who is well-behaved, sensible, obedient, and compliant, not someone who takes the money but doesn't do anything and needs time to coax.
Being so used to being complimented outside, who would bother trying to please others? Xu Ziyu was more open-minded than Mo Zechuan. He continued while drinking his tea. "You've been so used to pursuing freedom in North America that you've started to care about other people's feelings?"
"No, it's for the sake of profit."
"That's right. We're only interested in this. Who cares about feelings when we're talking about interests?" He laughed and said slowly, "Isn't he giving you a hard time? If you can't bear to do it, I will."
"Don't." Mo Zechuan thought, there was no need to leave his people to Xu Ziyu to deal with. "You said, if I give him a name..."
"Are you crazy?" Xu Ziyu stopped smiling and said coldly, "Take that back as soon as possible. I don't want to see my buddy fall in love and chase after little boys every day. That would be too costly. If you don't find it embarrassing, I would!"
"Then..." Mo Zechuan sighed and said, "Zi Yu, I really care about him."
"I think you haven't suffered enough. You've become obsessed with someone just by hearing a few words from them."
If he hadn't looked so dejected, like a defeated rooster, he would have thrown a glass of water on him.
It is also better to wake him up as soon as possible, so that he won’t suffer a great loss in the future without knowing it.
"No one would say anything if you brought a male companion to a dance, but if you bring him out in public, what do you think your family would do?"
Xu Ziyu sneered and continued, "Your family is still counting on you to revitalize the clan. Can you allow a low-class person to be around your future heir?"
"Xu Ziyu, don't go too far." He kept calling it "thing" which was really unpleasant.
"What did I say wrong? You and Ning Su are childhood sweethearts after all, and the relationship between your two families can still be smoothed over. At least it won't bring shame to your family.
But Zhou Jinxi is nothing. He has a bottomless pit brother who is harming the whole family. If he knew you existed, he would definitely suck your blood.
Even if you're willing to suck his blood, no one will pity you, they'll just say you just like paying for it."
Xu Ziyu continued to persuade him earnestly. "Dude, think about how much effort it would take for an ordinary person to catch up with a wealthy family. It would take at least a hundred years. Do you think your Xiao Zhou can do it?"
Mo Zechuan retorted: "I don't expect him to surpass my family alone. I can help him deal with those who dislike him."
"You've been corrupted by North American culture. Don't forget, you're in China now. Marrying someone of equal social status is a centuries-old tradition and an indelible fact."
"If you really like him, give him something. After three to five years, not only you, but even he will want to find someone to marry. What's more..."
Xu Ziyu sneered, "He has no uterus and can't get pregnant. Your family's glory depends on your offspring to inherit it. Without an offspring, what's the point of talking nonsense?"
"Think about it carefully. Get out of it before you completely fall into it. It's okay to have fun, but don't let it ruin your heart. That would be terrible."
Mo Zechuan was absent-minded during the meal, while Xu Ziyu ate heartily as if nothing had happened and enjoyed the meal with gusto.
After returning home, Mo Zechuan was faced with his nagging mother. After a few words of nagging, he impatiently went back to the company to work overtime.
As for the talent show, he had no desire to attend. He was simply afraid of meeting the person he wanted to meet, which would make him feel uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart.
Mo Zechuan thought he would be fine in a few days.
The audition director Du Lun called him to ask the reason and expressed his understanding. He immediately arranged a temporary tutor, Cheng Jiang, to be assigned to Class B.
Cheng Jiang was very unhappy about taking up the temporary position, and he especially couldn't stand the people with connections.
Zhou Jinxi became the troublemaker who received his special attention, and he was required to do double the training every day.
After Su Luo protested several times, Cheng Jiang finally calmed down a little.
It wasn't until the time to choose songs that Cheng Jiang went crazy again.
"Zhou Jinxi, you don't know anything. Choosing a difficult song would take up too much time, so why not just pick what others have left?"
The songs chosen by Class A this time were of course the best. In order to compete with Class A, Class B selected three songs with dynamic and cheerful melodies, and two of them were buy-one-get-one-free songs.
According to Cheng Jiang, Zhou Jinxi was just a pretty face, all show and no substance. Using a good song to compete with others would definitely put Group B at a disadvantage. And if he ended up getting scolded, he'd be finished.
Instead of giving him the songs that have advantages, it is better to give him the ones that are left out. There is a soothing song "Silence" that is quite suitable for him.
Compared to dancing, his singing is probably okay and very infectious. As their mentor, Cheng Jiang naturally hopes that Zhou Jinxi can play to his strengths and sing.
"No." Su Luo was the first to object. "Didn't you see Jinxi's dancing during the auditions? He's got talent. With practice, he could even do Class A's 'Xiao', not to mention Class B's most difficult 'Mulan.'"
