Chapter 170 Money is hard to earn, and shit is hard to swallow!
Zeng Xiaoxian picked up the cue stick and confidently struck it, "Smack!"
The black ball fell to the ground and rolled under the table.
Zeng Xiaoxian was stunned. Since this was fate, there was really nothing he could do!
Chen Xiaobai then put his arm around Zeng Xiaoxian and said earnestly, "Teacher Zeng, don't be biased. It's a legitimate profession, a new one, not the kind you're thinking of!"
Zeng Xiaoxian: "Okay, okay, fine, okay, oh right, right, right~"
Chen Xiaobai shook his head helplessly. These days, people don't even believe the truth!
Indeed, people only believe what they think, no matter how clearly others explain it, they still won't believe it.
......
the next day.
3602.
Zeng Xiaoxian, thoroughly annoyed, pushed the door open and came in. "Stop trying to persuade me! I've told you I absolutely will not go to that stupid party!"
No, you must go!
"No, I'm not going!"
No, you must go!
"No, I'm not going!"
"No, you're not going!"
"No, I want to go!"
"very good!"
Lu Ziqiao clapped his hands, congratulating Zeng Xiaoxian on giving the correct answer, and then said, "Yes, very good. If you don't go, your girlfriend will definitely be very lonely~"
Zeng Xiaoxian: "Huh???"
"Alright, let me formally introduce the legendary Celia~"
As he spoke, Lü Ziqiao gestured towards the room to introduce it to him.
At this moment, Chen Xiaobai and Sai Li came out of the room together, and the two chatted happily.
Ironically, this Celie is also an acquaintance of Chen Xiaobai's. Chen Xiaobai had met her at Zhuge Dasheng's law firm before. This time, he was there partly to earn some extra money, and partly because, to put it a bit ridiculously, she was actually a fan of Zeng Xiaoxian!
Zeng Xiaoxian is practically a national treasure!
Sally, dressed in a dark black low-cut dress, walked confidently up to Zeng Xiaoxian and smiled, "Hi~ It's nice to meet you, Teacher Zeng!"
"Just call me Xiaoxian!"
Upon seeing the beautiful woman, Zeng Xiaoxian immediately activated his passive ability, flamboyantly stroking his hair and striking a pose as he spoke.
Seri chuckled and asked, "When are we eating? Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Um... I'm so sorry, please wait a moment!"
Zeng Xiaoxian then realized what was happening, said something to Sally, and quickly pulled Lu Ziqiao aside, urgently asking, "What happened?!"
“Seri, I’ve mentioned it to you before!”
Lu Ziqiao was rather confused.
"You bring all sorts of shady women home?!"
Zeng Xiaoxian angrily rebuked her, then turned back to look at Selena, making sure she hadn't heard him before smiling and turning back, "What exactly does she do!"
"Perfect for making Yifei jealous!"
"What's there to be jealous of? I don't even know anything about her!"
"Don't worry, she's a professional! This is a secret between you, me, and Xiaobai; no one else knows. You can tell others that Sanli is a lawyer!"
Lu Ziqiao gave him a look that said, "You got off easy."
"Lawyer again? Why do I always choose this profession?"
Zeng Xiaoxian couldn't help but complain, glancing back at the other person's figure.
"Besides, what kind of lawyer is this... like that?!"
"I noticed that too, and it just so happens that you found it. Yifei will be furious!"
Lu Ziqiao looked like he was enjoying the show, and even seemed a little excited!
"She's not a lawyer at all!"
"I said she is, and she is a lawyer!"
Just then, Zhang Wei walked out, holding an ice pack to his face with both hands, yawning and asking in confusion, "Who's the lawyer?"
"What's that on your face?" Zeng Xiaoxian turned around with a look of disgust.
"Ice pack! Guan Gu's ice pack is too hard, I fell asleep while it was on!" Zhang Wei said, covering his face.
Zeng Xiaoxian asked curiously, "What happened to your face?"
At the mention of this, Zhang Wei looked at him with a resentful expression, "Ask him and Xiaobai!"
Lu Ziqiao: "My Heart-wrenching Palm!"
Chen Xiaobai also raised his hand with a smile, "And my Tathagata Palm!"
We'll talk about this another time!
Zhang Wei didn't want to bring up this painful topic again, so he quickly changed the subject, "Hey, I just heard you guys talking about lawyers?"
Lu Ziqiao pointed at Selena: "That's right, it's her!"
"Okay...okay...mmm, lawyer~"
Zhang Wei turned around and greeted Selena with excitement.
Zeng Xiaoxian turned around and said, "See? Even Zhang Wei doesn't believe it!"
"I believe you! I'll believe whatever Ziqiao says this time. Who is she here to see?"
Zhang Wei asked excitedly.
Zeng Xiaoxian was completely defeated by Zhang Wei and said helplessly, "Would you believe me if I said she came here specifically to see you?"
"I believe you! This is exactly the same dream I just had!" Zhang Wei still looked convinced.
Seeing this, Zeng Xiaoxian immediately pushed Zhang Wei forward, saying, "Don't be shy, Ziqiao specially introduced him to you!"
"I knew I wouldn't let you fight for nothing, Xiao Bai, you'd better hurry up too!"
Zhang Wei excitedly ran over, pulled Chen Xiaobai aside, and moved closer.
Seeing this, Lu Ziqiao felt it was too outrageous. "Are you out of your mind? I searched for ages to find this, and you're going to introduce it to Zhang Wei???"
"It's just 500 yuan!"
Zeng Xiaoxian shrugged indifferently.
At this moment, Chen Xiaobai saw Zhang Wei go over to chat with Selena, so he also went over to Zeng Xiaoxian's side, put his arm around his shoulder, and said with a disappointed look:
"Teacher Zeng, you've gone too far! He's a respectable, professional lawyer, and you're just leaving him like this? And he's even your fan!"
"I thank her, but I don't need a fan who does...that kind of thing!"
Zeng Xiaoxian looked disgusted, clearly not understanding what Chen Xiaobai meant.
Lu Ziqiao also confronted Zeng Xiaoxian, saying, "Teacher Zeng, this isn't about money; you've thrown my sincere heart into the wind!"
Zeng Xiaoxian pointed to Zhang Wei, who was chatting with them, and said, "Zhang Wei thanks you on my behalf!"
......
Moving my gaze over, I saw Zhang Wei with tape wrapped around his head and ice packs on both sides of his face. He had a grinning expression, somewhat like a colonel, and rubbed his hands together as he said, "Uh... I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Zhang Wei. I heard you're a lawyer?"
"Oh, yes!"
Sally nodded, secretly took a step back, frowned and sized up Zhang Wei, almost wanting to leave, but then she looked at Zeng Xiaoxian and thought, "Oh well, I'll just have to bear with it. Money's hard to earn, and life's tough, but at least I get to see my idol..."
Zhang Wei clapped his hands excitedly; "Great, we're in the same industry!"
"You're a lawyer too?"
Seri became interested upon hearing this and responded with a smile.
When Zhang Wei saw Celie laugh, he immediately let out a pig-like squeal, "Hehe~ Trainee lawyer, the boss said I can become a full-fledged lawyer after another six months of burning CDs!"
......
Although the scene was unbearable to look at, Chen Xiaobai had to admit that being thick-skinned meant he could get by anywhere!
