"Mom, are you annoyed? I'm so young that we went on a blind date? People will laugh at me if I tell you."
Zhang Hong was extremely impatient.
In his previous life, he went on blind dates from twenty-three to twenty-seven, which totaled twenty or thirty times.
After coming to this parallel world, I thought it would be easier, at least my parents would not be around.
Unexpectedly, when my mother came back, I would still be unable to escape the curse, and I would start dating at the age of twenty-five.
"Okay, I won't push you." Empress Dowager Liu crossed her arms and crossed her legs, looking unkind, "Then do you have someone you like?"
Zhang Hong remained silent.
The corners of Queen Mother Liu's mouth raised slightly, "Can you tell me what kind of girl you like?"
Zhang Hong was silent again.
He lit a cigarette in silence.
My mother didn't say anything to him this time, but her eyes were a little more dangerous.
However, in order to trick her son into telling the truth, she endured it for the time being.
After smoking half a cigarette, Zhang Hong flicked the ash accumulated on the end of the cigarette in the ashtray, and then said in a calm tone, "Mom, do you remember that I have a high school classmate named Zhang Luyao?"
Liu Yan thought for a moment and nodded, "Remember, she is a pretty girl, and she had a good relationship with you. Then she went abroad, right?"
"Well, I went abroad. We had a good relationship at that time. I was in Class 17 and she was in Class 6. We met when we were selected together to be projectionists at the broadcast station."
Zhang Hong slapped her mouth, it seemed that girl existed in this parallel world, "Actually, I really liked her at that time."
"Then why are we no longer in contact? You two should still have contact information, right?"
Queen Mother Liu was very curious.
"That's right. There was a parent-teacher meeting, and you and my dad didn't come back from other places. At that time, her dad also came. He drove a Porsche, I remember." Zhang Hong scratched his head, "So we stopped contacting her."
That was the first time he felt the gap between his family.
But actually I didn't care at that time, I thought this girl's family might be quite rich.
But then I went to college and understood some things.
Looking at the girl's circle of friends, she posted photos of her travels abroad. Zhang Hong also checked the hotels and restaurants, and the results were either five-star or Michelin.
At that time, he stopped contacting the other party.
later......
Later, I saw on her WeChat account that she found a boyfriend who was also a wealthy international student. They later broke up, and then got married to a man whose father was a civil servant leading the local taxation bureau.
After that, Zhang Hong deleted her.
Just think that the thoughts are over.
"Actually, there are many girls who like me, but I rejected them all." Zhang Hong puffed on his cigarette and smiled, "Maybe... I still feel a little unwilling."
I can't bear to live my whole life like this.
Liu Yan thoughtfully said, "I understand, you like high-class girls, but you feel that high-class girls look down on you. Once a girl likes you, you feel that she is of low class."
Zhang Hong: "..."
She is really my own mother!
This is really heartbreaking to say.
Seeing her son's hesitant expression, Queen Mother Liu was a little embarrassed. She hurriedly said: "What about now? Are you still thinking about him?"
"No, I forgot about it a long time ago." Zhang Hong shook his head, "Actually, Mom, I already have a goal."
After a pause, he put out the cigarette butt that was about to burn to the sponge filter, and sighed: "It's just that the difference is too big. People's ordinary consumption is higher than my salary in the past month, and it's either luxury or ordinary.
consumption.
"Besides, she is very outstanding. She can be described as perfect. Your son is a little ashamed of himself."
But he is not willing to let go.
After all, I was already a coward in my previous life. Will I still be a coward after time travel?
Queen Mother Liu thought thoughtfully, "Is that why you want to be a director?"
She didn't show her cards directly.
Because the fact that my son works hard to improve himself for the girl... is really a handsome guy.
What is romance? This is called romance!
Zhang Hong's behavior perfectly touched my mother's "aunt's heart".
Zhang Hong explained: "You have watched me grow up. I don't really have any ability. Musical talent? To be honest, I am just a talented person. I may have some talent in filming, so I thought about it.
.....At least I won't be able to earn the same level of money as others, but if I really catch them, it won't reduce their quality of life, right?
And I think how do these men and women attract each other? It’s just a condition, I just want to achieve that condition.”
What are conditions?
Good looks are a condition, temperament and conversation are a condition, background is a condition, and whether you can make money is also a condition.
When you look at a girl, don’t you first look at her appearance and figure?
If you don’t understand the inner aspects of your character at first glance, how can you look at them?
You can only understand it after getting along with him slowly in other identities.
Besides, Zhang Hong's goals are not bad in these places.
The background is naturally also a condition.
If you are born into the second generation of wealth, that is naturally your condition.
My family is ordinary and working-class, so why should I pursue a girl who has much better conditions than me?
The same goes for working hard to make money.
This is also a trap of consumerism, but that’s how the world is.
Why study hard?
In order to get into a good university.
Why should I get into a good university?
Find a good job after graduation.
Why find a good job?
In order to make money.
Being able to make money on your own is also your own condition.
Why do people worship money?
So if a person is not handsome, has an average figure, and has an ordinary family background, and then he likes a girl who is like a fairy.
Why do people like you?
What is it about you that attracts others?
There is nothing attractive about it, and if you try to chase it but can’t catch it, you’ll sigh, “Why are women so money-worshiping these days?”
Then put yourself in my shoes, if it were you, facing a young white, rich and beautiful woman, she is really fair, rich and beautiful, and not only is she beautiful, but she also has a kind heart.
Then there is another girl with an ordinary personality, ordinary appearance and figure, and an ordinary job.
Both of these people like you, how do you choose?
Zhang Hong just wants to work hard to improve himself and try his best to stand on the same level as his opponent.
Not to mention on the same level, at least not too far apart.
Only in this way can he have the confidence to pursue others.
Of course, everyone has their own ideas, and this is just the opinion of the Zhang Hong family.
Liu Yan didn't say anything.
She neither denied nor affirmed.
After all, the living environment and ideas of her and Zhang Hong's father are different from ordinary people.
Not everyone hates making big money and just wants to live an ordinary life.
Is it true to be ordinary?
This is something only those who have experienced it vigorously can say.
If you don't have the ability to make a splash, just saying that being ordinary is the real thing... is just accepting your fate.
This is also Liu Yan’s personal idea.
Mother and son each had their own thoughts and fell into silence.
After a long while, Zhang Hong suddenly said, "Mom, please help me with something. If, if, if, I mean if."
"If I have a friend who is my college classmate and has a similar family background to mine, and then he has a girl he likes, and this girl is too good, he feels he is not good enough for her, but he doesn't want to give up, so he works hard.
But now that girl is twenty-four, and he’s afraid that he won’t have enough time, so what should he do?”
Liu Yan glanced at him, "Does your friend like the same girl as you? And does this girl happen to be named Lin?"
Zhang Hong was embarrassed.
Everyone knows something, but why do we have to say it?
My son's restless expression said it all.
Queen Mother Liu began to brainstorm crazily.
She is indeed quite satisfied with this girl Lin Muqing.
Although she doesn't know much about ordinary people's lives, this girl is not that squeamish and can even cook for herself.
You must know that my son can also scramble eggs, and others say he is much better than his own son.
And when I get along with this girl, I feel very comfortable and natural. I don’t have to be too careful and don’t have to pay attention to this or that.
If this girl became his daughter-in-law, Liu Yan would honestly be quite satisfied.
After thinking about this, she said: "If I were your... friend named Zhang, I would chase her."
Zhang Hong raised his head: "Why?"
"Are you, my friend, sure that you can make a name for yourself as a director?"
Zhang Hong was very sure, "It's necessary!"
"Then why are you hesitating? Just take it as a loan." Empress Dowager Liu shrugged, "Catch her in advance, and then work hard to make yourself worthy of her. Otherwise, if you wait for ten or eight years, her children may be
It’s time to go to elementary school. What’s the use of regretting it then?”
Zhang Hong's expression changed.
After a long while, he gritted his teeth, slapped his legs, stood up suddenly and said, "Then I'll go back to sleep first!"
Obviously, he has made up his mind.
Empress Dowager Liu looked sideways at his "tragic" back and disappeared from the bedroom.
It seems that this boy's hypocrisy has been initially resolved.
Then...it's time to test the girl.
If both of them are interesting...then this would be interesting.
Empress Dowager Liu showed a smile on her face as if she was just watching the excitement.
