After all, he's not good enough for high-end jobs and he's not good enough for low-end ones, so he should at least achieve something, and getting married is one of those things.
"Cousin, isn't it a bit too private for us to talk about this kind of thing? What about you? I heard your wife is still in the US. How's her illness?"
The Xia family are distant relatives of the Cheng family, the very distant kind.
When the Cheng and Jiang families arranged their marriage, the Xia family was not on the invitation list.
The Xia family is considered a prominent family in a certain circle, but if they want to climb into a circle like the Cheng family, they would have to work hard for at least another twenty years.
Therefore, Xia Zicheng had only heard about her cousin and his wife's marriage, and had never even seen a picture of her.
He thought the topic was safe, but Cheng Yanzheng frowned instead.
Cheng Yanzheng stared at him and asked, "Aren't you concerned about a lot of things? Since you're not busy, I have some documents here that I can't find anyone to help me with. Why don't you come over?"
"No, cousin, I was just asking a random question, why are you acting like this?"
Xia Zicheng's expression was even worse this time. He didn't want to work; he just wanted to finish his tasks and then lie down.
Cheng Yanzheng said he wouldn't let him go until he was done with it.
Xia Zicheng worked overtime for a while, which was rare for him, before he finally finished processing all those documents.
When he got home, he saw his older brother and sister dressed up again, ready to go out.
"Don't tell me you're going to see that chief designer again."
"Of course we're all set. Are you coming along today?"
Xia Zicheng's older sister seemed quite excited.
She'll soon be able to wear the wedding dress of her dreams; no wonder she's overjoyed.
In her eyes, Emily played the role of a dream weaver, and she liked her very much.
After thinking about it, Xia Zicheng realized there was nothing wrong, so she went with her older brother and sister.
Emily demonstrated exceptional professionalism in the studio.
While she was exchanging details with Xia Zicheng's sister, Xia Zicheng was observing her the whole time.
Actually, Xia Zicheng felt that her own quirks were quite strange.
Because he is naturally relaxed, he enjoys watching people who are focused on their work.
That's how Du Baiwei came into his view.
Emily is also a workaholic. It is said that she once went without eating properly for several days in order to complete a piece of work, which almost caused a serious danger.
Such people have very bright eyes when talking about their careers.
Her posture was so powerful, and her unique temperament and charm made her radiate a different kind of brilliance in an instant.
The woman at work and the woman on the rooftop seem to be two extremes, yet there is a relative unity amidst the contradictions.
In short, Xia Zicheng could tell that this woman truly felt genuine happiness because of her career success.
Du Baiwei is also somewhat different from her.
No one is born loving their job. Du Baiwei's focus on her work stems from her dedication and her adherence to her own principles.
In reality, she didn't have much passion for her career.
Jiang Tian became even more beautiful because of her career; she truly loves her work.
"A very different person," Xia Zicheng stared at Jiang Tian.
Jiang Tian felt his gaze, turned her head, and smiled gently at him: "Is this young master bored? You can go to the lounge to rest for a while. There are snacks and drinks there. Oh, by the way, there are a few game consoles there recently. I don't really like playing games, so they're just sitting there. If you're interested, you can entertain yourself."
Wow, she's treating me like a child.
Xia Zicheng hadn't had this kind of experience in a long time.
He blinked. "Miss Jiang, do I look very young?"
"I'm guessing you're definitely younger than me. I believe that avoiding things you're not interested in is a sign of respect for your own personality, which is why I suggested you go to the lounge. I'm not trying to coax you, it's just politeness. Besides, I am indeed a few years older than you; I'm already 35 this year."
A strong woman is not ashamed of her age, and Jiang Tian naturally brought up her age.
She is indeed older than him, by ten years.
Xia Zicheng realized that he couldn't tell how old this woman was at all.
In other respects, she is enough to make people forget that she is already a woman in her thirties.
Seeing her younger brother still making a fool of himself, Xia pushed him, saying, "Didn't they already tell you to go to the lounge? Don't cause trouble for us here."
Xia Zicheng had no choice but to stand up and stretch. He really didn't understand and wasn't very interested. Since he was being asked to leave, he might as well go.
But before he could even turn into the lounge, he saw a familiar face, and his eyes widened.
Cheng Yanzheng.
An absolutely unexpected person appeared in Jiang Tian's studio.
It was already dusk, and those who had gone to bed early were getting ready to wash up and go to sleep. What was he doing here?
Xia Zicheng subconsciously wanted to hide herself, but then felt it was unnecessary.
Just then, Cheng Yanzheng also saw him. His expression didn't change, and he even ignored him and went into the studio, walking up to Jiang Tian.
"Yan Zheng, what are you doing here?"
Xia Zicheng's sister was equally surprised.
“Mr. Cheng and I are business partners. He has invested half of the money in this studio and is also one of the shareholders.”
Jiang Tian introduced them with a smile.
"Oh, I see," the siblings thought, instantly finding the answer and relaxing.
Cheng Yanzheng glanced at the woman beside him without showing any emotion before greeting the Xia siblings: "What are you doing here?"
“I’m getting married to my fiancé, so to have a perfect wedding, I asked Emily to design a wedding dress for me. I want to be a princess.”
Xia Zicheng's older sister blushed and looked like she was immersed in happiness.
“I see. You all go ahead with your work. I’ll wait here for a bit. Emily and I have some work-related things to discuss.”
Cheng Yanzheng spoke calmly.
"Okay, I hope this won't hold you up too long?"
"No, you're the customer, he's just a shareholder. I'm making money off you, and I'm going to share it with him. How could he possibly refuse to have more money?"
Jiang Tian smiled and comforted her.
The two then started discussing the details.
Xia Zicheng sat down to the side and said to Cheng Yanzheng, "They should be chatting for a while longer, cousin. Let's go to the lounge and wait for them."
To his surprise, Cheng Yanzheng refused, saying, "I'll just wait here."
The studio has sofas, and they are very unique custom-made sofas.
Cheng Yanzheng sat there, creating a certain contrast with the highly personal studio.
After all, he looks very rigid and has no artistic sense whatsoever.
Since her cousin wasn't going, Xia Zicheng felt embarrassed to go to the lounge to play by herself, so she just sat there.
After thinking for a while, Xia Zicheng finally came up with a topic: "Cousin, do you have a picture of your wife? I'd like to see it."
