The leisurely life of rebirth

Chapter 512 Pony Crossing the River
Zhang Kui looked at his wife who was standing there with her hands on her hips. She didn't look like the woman they were in love at all.

I don't know when it became like this.

They are all ordinary people, but they insist on being princesses.

"Money, money, where can I make money? My salary is more than 100,000 yuan a year. It's not high, but it's not low either." Zhang Kui said helplessly.

Cao Juan, a nurse and Zhang Kui's wife, was furious, her face flushed, and she cursed:
"Coward, coward, are you still a man? Even stingy people are not as stingy as you. I just wanted to buy a bracelet, but you lied and said it was a stone and worthless."

"When I got married, I wanted to buy a big diamond, but you wouldn't let me, saying it was a scam and worthless."

"Now I want to enroll my child in piano, English, art, and dance classes, but you tell me it's no use. You are just stingy and don't want to spend money."

Wang Juan opened her mouth wide and vented her dissatisfaction wantonly, completely forgetting that the mortgage of several million yuan for the house they had just moved to was still weighing on Zhang Kui.

Zhang Kui sat dejectedly on the chair, looked up at the ceiling of the new house, and whispered, "How much do you earn a month?"

Who would have thought that this one sentence would add fuel to the fire?

Wang Juan stood up immediately: "What do you mean, you despise me for not making enough money, right? Others are men who support their families, you want to rely on me, right? Some of our colleagues' husbands are good to their wives, some can make money, some are handsome, and you are useless!"

"Compare, compare, compare over and over again, why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror? We agreed that when the second child is born, he will take your surname and I won't be in charge. Now that he takes your surname, why do you want me to be in charge again?" Zhang Kui was also forced into a corner. He didn't want to have a baby at first, but the other party insisted on having it. The other party also said that he wouldn't have to worry about the baby after it was born. But what about now?
Wang Juan put the second child on the bed, walked up to Zhang Kui, pointed at his nose and cursed: "Are you a man? Are you the father of the child? If you don't care, who will?"

Nowadays, words are one thing and actions are another. Even having legal provisions may not be enough, let alone verbal statements.

Now Zhang Kui's own parents are here to take care of the child. They didn't need to come originally, but the other party didn't care at all because the second child is also a daughter and they all want a boy.

Zhang Kui had no choice but to ask his parents to come. He couldn’t really not want the child, right?

Hire a nanny?
Stop it. I’ve given all my salary to the nanny. How am I going to pay my mortgage?

“You know, I used to use this sentence to give myself strength: When we meet, it’s as if we had just met, and there will be no resentment until we grow old. We had an argument and a quarrel last time, and I don’t have the energy to talk to you so much now.” Zhang Kui didn’t want to talk anymore.

After the divorce incident, Wang Juan did stay quiet for a few days, but it soon started again.

Wang Juan also felt wronged.

As a young nurse in the hospital, I am tired enough at work, and I am even busier after get off work. I see my colleagues living such a carefree life, going out to eat, drink, sing, wear gold and silver, and travel.

Look at myself again, the clothes I wear are all from a few years ago.

Now I’ve gained weight and can hardly wear them.

What do you want to achieve?
Thinking back to what my colleague said to me, it makes sense.

"If a man has no ambition, he needs to be whipped."

"He doesn't have a hard time, so why should I have to?"

"Don't be afraid, these two children can't be separated!"

When a group of nurses occasionally chatted, they all expressed dissatisfaction with their husbands. They felt that as fairies, marrying him was a blessing for eight lifetimes, but they did not know how to cherish it.

However, when Wang Juan repeated her colleague's words to Zhang Kui.

Zhang Kui sneered: "Your head is empty, so you just take whatever others say as your own."

"Use your brain and think about it. Apart from your own parents, how many people would want you to live a good life?"

"Can't you think more, read more books, or let others brainwash you?"

"Have you ever heard the story of the little horse crossing the river? Only you know whether your life is good or not. You should learn something from others."

"Look at all your colleagues. They're all getting divorced every other day. I think they're going to break up sooner or later."

After saying this, Zhang Kui let out a long sigh. Some people are really stupid.

It's bad enough that he's stupid, but he also thinks he has brains.

It’s a pity that I don’t know Wang Baoqiang, otherwise I would really like to have a good drink with him. Meeting such a stupid woman is really a headache!
Wang Juan was a little confused by Zhang Kui's words and said: It seems to make some sense.

However, you can’t lose face: “If you have no ability, then you have no ability. Why are you talking so much? You know so much, why can’t you make money!”

Quarrels between husband and wife are sometimes the most hurtful, because everyone knows each other's background and can often hit the vital point with one fatal blow.

Yes, Zhang Kui is so smart and has such a good brain, but he still can’t get rich.

There is no reason for this no matter how much you talk about it.

The logic is: those who get rich are smart people!
This is also the idea that has been constantly instilled in everyone over the past decade.

But, looking at history books and the people around us, are those who make money really smart people?
Look at the smarter people in prison. Anyone with a brain will know what's going on.

It is true that there are smart people among those who make money, but there are also smart people among those who don’t make money. The two do not have a mutually beneficial relationship, or in other words, the relationship between the two is actually not that big.

But these are all set up by the rich to package themselves and build a reputation for themselves!

However, there are fools who believe that there is no way out.
For example, this stupid woman in front of me!

It turned out that when they quarreled, Zhang Kui was reluctant to quarrel in front of the children, as he did not want to leave the children with a childhood impression of family discord. But slowly, slowly, this was actually regarded as his weakness.

Wang Juan even quarreled in front of the child on purpose, just to force herself to submit.

I can't even make a living myself, how can I take care of my children?

Zhang Kui really wanted to cry but had no tears. It was really difficult to be a good father and a good husband.

Zhou You didn’t know what was going on in other people’s families, and even if he did, he probably wouldn’t have a good solution. Not to mention the poor, even the rich and powerful would still quarrel and get divorced.

This thing has little to do with money; the key is desire.

Habit is really a very scary thing.

You can get used to poverty, and you can get used to wealth too.

When you get used to wealth and status, your desires will gradually expand. You will look at those who are richer than you and those who are more powerful than you, without end, until death comes.

Ordinary people have ordinary people's troubles.
Traveling has its own troubles.

For example, the schedule is a bit tight now. Liu Yan knew Zhou You had arrived in the capital, and she insisted on coming over, saying that she had learned some new tricks.

Give yourself an experience.

However, these days, Zhou You has been partying every night, and his body can finally bear it.

The spirit can't stand it. If you eat delicious food every day, you will get tired of it. At that time, if you don't get close to women,
How to do?
It’s time to record the Star of Tomorrow again.

Zhou You came over again.

Because he received the program from the director, the song that Maomao was going to sing this time was also his favorite song. When he first heard it, he felt that it was his own voice.

Until I listened to it several times, I could no longer control my tears.

Later, Zhou You never listened again.

Life is hard, it’s enough for you to know it, there’s no need to sing it out loud, right?

It hurts so much!

After this is over, I will bring Maomao and Yu Hua together and let them hurt each other.

Both of these masters keep happiness for themselves and leave sadness to others.

At that time, Zhou You asked them to write a book for each other and a song for each other, and one of them had to cry before leaving.

This time, the location is better, the view is wider and the sound quality is better.

Lao Xue and Lao Li also knew that Zhou You had come, and they knew that he came for Maomao, so they were very envious.

But think about it, now that everyone knows each other and is in the same camp, there are naturally not so many extra thoughts.

The only one who was kept in the dark was probably Huahua, the landlord's stupid son.

I am envious, really envious. Zhou You dreams of becoming the silly son of a landlord. What a happy thing it is, carefree and happy like a god.

"Hey, why add a virtual character this time?" Zhou You saw that there was actually a virtual idol on the stage.

When watching it on stage, it was like watching a fool. The singing was synthesized and the character images were from the screen. They had no characteristics at all.

Isn't this a waste of everyone's time?

If I didn't come to see it, I wouldn't care about it. Now you dare to waste my time. Isn't this courting death?

Not only Zhou You was unhappy, the audience was also unhappy. Everyone came to see the singer's performance. Who wanted to listen to computer synthesis? What's the point of watching this empty stage?

What's more, this virtual character is so ugly, just like the fool in the dance game.

It's purely an insult to people's intelligence.

The audience began to make a noise: "Get off, get off."

It is said that such virtual characters still have fans. I don’t know whether they bought them with money or are really brain-dead. They really think that they can create images like Sun Wukong and Nezha by just messing around. That is the result of hundreds of years of accumulation.

If you want to create a virtual idol, you can, but at least there has to be a story.

He pushed it out stupidly. He has no brains.

Zhou You stood up, walked backstage, and found the director: "Whose virtual idol is this?"

The director saw that Zhou You looked unhappy and said without hiding anything, "Wajiji and the others did it."

In fact, Penguin also has this idea, but the director is not stupid. He can't afford to offend Penguin or Zhou You, so he can only launch a smaller one. It is indeed theirs, and the contract agreement is all with them.

Zhou You nodded, took out his phone and called Ye Shengde: "Mr. Ye, I'm at the recording site tomorrow. They have created a virtual idol competition here. It's really nonsense. If you want to train it, I'll withdraw from the show. I'll watch it live. What the hell is this? It's a waste of my time."

Ye Shengde was confused. He knew about this program, but he was just an intermediary. As the vice president, he had no right to care about such trivial matters. He didn't know that Zhou You actually had time to watch it himself.

However, he immediately said, "Well, I heard from you that they are planning to do an experiment, imitating Japan and creating a Hatsune Miku. It's really ridiculous. How can you do it in a competition? There is a whole set of processes for this. It's better to make an animated movie than this."

"I don't know that Wajiji company. Tell them not to mess up this show. By the way, I will only invest in this show for one season and won't invest in it again in the future." After saying that, he hung up the phone.

The biggest purpose of investing in this program is to discover Maomao. It has little to do with me in the future. It is a rubbish program and no talents will appear in it.

Not to mention this show, none of the other shows can compete with it.

Those singing shows are mostly covers of old songs, what a bunch of rubbish.

Zhou You was a little angry, but there was nothing he could do.

After finishing what he said, he didn't care anymore. It was a recording anyway. Zhou You was annoyed to death by this virtual character. He was in a bad mood and walked right into the trap.

The director is at a loss here.

The leader just needs to speak and the subordinates have to run around to change the schedule temporarily. It is very difficult. Fortunately, they are virtual characters and both giants have spoken.

Wajiji can only recognize it.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou You called Lao Xue and Lao Li aside and said, "Tell me, if I offer a reward of several million for good songs, is there any hope of digging out some good songs from the public?"

It turns out that Zhou You did have this idea, but it was just too troublesome to do.

"How much?" Li Ronghao thought he had heard it wrong?
"At least 500 million. If it's effective, I plan to hold one every year," Zhou You said.

Old Xue's face lit up and he adjusted his glasses: "Brother You, it's OK. In the past, many small places and activities would cost tens of thousands of yuan. Your amount is attractive enough."

“Well, if we divide the prizes into first, second and third prizes, it will also attract people.” Li Ronghao also agreed.

Seeing that they had no objection, Zhou You continued, "The style of the song is not limited, as long as I think it sounds good. But I can't listen to them all by myself. Ronghao, please make an effort to do it in the name of the music fund and find a few more judges. The final decision will be mine. You can select some good original songs and I can help promote them later."

"Um, Brother You, can we join?" Old Xue couldn't help but feel excited.

It doesn’t matter whether you make money or not. The main thing is to do your part and take advantage of the promotion resources.

Zhou You’s promotional resources are definitely much stronger than mine. If I miss this opportunity, it will be too difficult to rely on myself.

"Okay, but this is mainly for me to serve others. It doesn't suit my taste, so don't blame me." Zhou You said in advance.

Then he continued, "Please make it clear in the details. Songs are very subjective. Not winning an award doesn't mean they are not good songs. When the time comes, I will select a group of them, and you can also select a group from a professional perspective, so that it will be a little more fair."

Wen has no first, Wu has no second.

It is impossible for a song to satisfy everyone, such as Huahua.

After a busy period of preparation, the recording went on in an orderly manner. This director does have some coordination skills.

After waiting for a long time, Maomao finally appeared.

Maomao is much more confident today than last time.

After the last song was released, the number of views has reached nearly 10 million and is still rising. As the first song to go viral on the show, there is a great hope that it can help the show take off.

Penguin Music is also sparing no effort to promote it.

The upward momentum is good.
