Chapter 1181

The evening breeze was light, blowing through the tips of their hair.

Sitting on a bench, Zhu Suosuo held a beer bottle in her hand and said, "Want a drink?"

"Are you in a very bad mood?"

Looking at Zhu Suosuo suspiciously, Zhang Cheng turned his head and asked calmly.

"Can I be in a good mood? My dad finally came back, only to bring along a woman about my age, and now he's going to settle abroad..."

Speaking to this point, Zhu Suosuo's face showed signs of breaking down, "I've been living under someone else's roof since I was little, raised by my aunt and uncle..."

Tilting her head up, Zhu Suosuo's eyes were filled with coldness.

Her parents divorced when she was young, and she lived under someone else's roof, so Zhu Suosuo learned to read people's expressions better than anyone.

And this wasn't a talent, but something she had trained herself to do over all these years in that house!

That's why Zhu Suosuo longed for a home of her own more than anyone else; this was also the reason she didn't hide her gold-digging nature.

"At that time, my aunt and uncle got married and brought Luo Jiaming with them. From then on, I became an expendable person in that house. I'm very grateful to my aunt and uncle for raising me, but I really don't want to stay in that house anymore."

Thinking of this, Zhu Suosuo gulped down her beer.

When she was little, whenever her aunt and uncle's family went out to attend weddings, she would be locked inside the house.

And for everything, she had to go along with Luo Jiaming.

But ever since her aunt mentioned letting her marry him, Zhu Suosuo knew she couldn't stay in that house any longer!

"Drink less, okay? We still have to go back later!"

Looking at Zhu Suosuo beside him, Zhang Cheng looked up at the sky helplessly.

Because every family has its own difficult problems to solve.

Zhu Suosuo knew it wasn't easy for her aunt and uncle to raise her, but could she really agree to their demands?

After all, she had been an outsider in that family of three since she was a child, and now she was expected to marry into it—isn't that just asking for suffering?

And as for those who viewed her as an ungrateful wretch, Zhang Cheng didn't know what to say, because this was a question of "to each their own."

You have to know, Zhu Suosuo's father was a sailor! At any time, a sailor's salary wouldn't be too low!

Not to mention that Zhu Suosuo's father worked on an ocean-going vessel!

"Wuwuwu, can I hug your shoulder and cry for a while?"

Thinking of sad things, Zhu Suosuo looked at Zhang Cheng with tears streaming down her face.

Hearing Zhu Suosuo's words, Zhang Cheng immediately turned his head and said, "No way, this is a brand new Armani! And it's custom-made by hand, it's very expensive..."

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Zhu Suosuo sniffled and said, "Zhang Cheng, it would be great if you were a mute!"

With a twitching mouth, Zhang Cheng leaned in helplessly and lent his shoulder to her.

"Thank you, you're such a good person!"

Sniffling, Zhu Suosuo leaned on his shoulder and began to sob uncontrollably.

Looking up at the sky helplessly, Zhang Cheng felt a wave of distress, "My Armani..."

A month later, the first episode of the program was finished recording.

Thanks to the speed of the payments, the construction team could be said to have gone all out to rush the work.

In an era where construction speed depends on payment speed, Zhang Cheng's Far East Group was definitely a representative of having no shortage of money.

Sitting together in the apartment, everyone was waiting for the program to air.

Before long, as the time hit eight o'clock, "Dream Home Makeover" aired.

Watching the blue screen appear, the host Zeng Xiaoxian walked down the street, smiling as he said, "Hello everyone, welcome to 'Dream Home Makeover', I am your old friend, Zeng Xiaoxian."

Just as Zeng Xiaoxian was introducing, the heroic-looking Jiang Nansun appeared. As the designer, she led everyone to look at the situation of the old house.

"Wow, even this kind of house can be renovated? How did they come up with these requirements? Big brother, are you the turtle in the wishing fountain?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng beside him, Lu Ziqiao's face was full of astonishment.

"Heh, there are even more absurd ones than this!"

Hearing Lu Ziqiao's words, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but chuckle.

Because the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, not to mention in the Far East, where there really are "many immortals"! Things like renovating thirty square meters into a large flat, or digging out the foundation of fifteen square meters to create a four-bedroom, two-living room layout...

They dare to say it, but Zhang Cheng doesn't even dare to look, because this isn't a dream renovation anymore—even Zhang San would run away if he saw this!

The premise of emergency avoidance is that you can avoid it, but the requirements they made were simply making Zhang Cheng dance on the edge of death.

If this didn't lead to a lawsuit, that would be fine, but if it did, Zhang Cheng would at least have to go inside for a few years of free room and board!

If he's lucky, Zou Yu would settle it with compensation; if he's unlucky and Zhang Wei shows up, he'd be looking at twenty years to life—that would be the real disaster!

"This designer is very pretty, right? Does she have contact information?"

Leaning his head in, Lu Ziqiao looked at Zhang Cheng with a smile.

Hearing this, Hu Yifei raised her hand and pushed him aside, saying, "Don't mess around, she has a boyfriend!"

"Ah, she has a boyfriend? Isn't that even simpler?"

Looking at Hu Yifei excitedly, Lu Ziqiao laughed.

Because if Jiang Nansun didn't have a boyfriend, he would have too many rivals, but if she has one, he only needs to deal with one!

Turning their heads to look at Lu Ziqiao, everyone's faces showed expressions of confusion.

"Why are you all looking at me like that? I never steal someone else's girlfriend!"

Looking at everyone's gazes, Lu Ziqiao hurriedly explained.

"Yeah, you don't steal the girlfriend, but you squat by the wall!"

Hearing Lu Ziqiao's words, Zeng Xiaoxian couldn't help but complain.

"What does 'squatting by the wall' mean?"

Looking at everyone suspiciously, Guan Gu Shenqi asked with some surprise.

"Waiting for the red apricot to blossom over the wall!"

Looking at Guan Gu Shenqi, Zhang Cheng explained.

"Oh, I see, so squatting by the wall means having a girlfriend? Sugoi, that's amazing!"

Looking at the crowd excitedly, Guan Gu Shenqi laughed.

"Slap!"

Everyone slapped their foreheads in unison. Hearing Guan Gu Shenqi's words, they all fell silent, because the words didn't seem wrong, but they didn't know where the problem was!

At Modu TV, Lisa Rong watched the ratings soar from three percent to over twenty, and she couldn't suppress her excitement.

Because it had been a long time since she had created such a hit program, and now she could finally hold her head high.

"Beautiful!"

Clenching her fists, Lisa Rong watched the final evaluation come out and couldn't help but get excited. Because in the eight o'clock time slot, their TV station was able to grab over thirty percent of the ratings, proving they had crushed all other programs.

Of course, this was only in Modu; as for the entire Far East, she wasn't sure.

But having such good results right after the premiere, Lisa Rong could prove that this would definitely break records.

And just as Lisa Rong was busy reporting, in the small western-style house on Fuxing Road,

Zhu Suosuo was lying down watching TV with Jiang Nansun.

Looking at Jiang Nansun beside her, Zhu Suosuo smiled and said, "Nansun, you're really capable, you were able to renovate a house like this!"

"I didn't design this, it was Zhang Cheng!"

Looking at Zhu Suosuo beside her, Jiang Nansun told the truth.

"Ah? It was Zhang Cheng? Then..."

Looking at Jiang Nansun in surprise, Zhu Suosuo was stunned.

"The construction period was too tight, he was afraid of modifying the drawings too many times, and I couldn't think of a better way!"

Speaking to Zhu Suosuo, a look of shame appeared on Jiang Nansun's face.

Patting Jiang Nansun's shoulder, Zhu Suosuo smiled and said, "Oh, don't worry about these small things, he's the CEO anyway, if the program is bad, he'll be the one in trouble!"

Comforting Jiang Nansun, Zhu Suosuo remembered that night when Zhang Cheng gave her his suit...

Zhang Cheng: I told you to wash it clean and send it back!

Zhu Suosuo:...
