After breakfast, Yu Wanwan played at home alone for a while, then opened Douya and was surprised to find that the videos she had posted on her main account and secondary account last night were still performing exceptionally well.
The videos had been up for less than 24 hours, but both had already reached 3 million likes. Her main account even had 230,000 comments.
[Ahhh, brother-in-law's back view is so stunning. I feel like he's someone who's top-notch at both cooking and being a husband. (Delicious)]
[Posting two videos of brother-in-law in a row. When will you let him show his face? (Expectant)]
[Is Sister Yu preparing to switch to a couple blogger track?]
[Film more, love to watch.]
[Suddenly noticed that Sister Yu's complexion has been much better since she got married.]
[I really want to see a video of the blogger's husband cooking without a shirt. You'll satisfy me, right? You will, right? You will.]
[Brother-in-law's hands are amazing. My imagination is running wild.]
[The food brother-in-law cooks looks so appetizing. He's truly a good man from New Oriental!]
[Just being good at cooking alone, the current husband has completely outshone the ex! I won't say more. Wishing you a long and happy marriage!]
[Every dish brother-in-law makes looks delicious. Can the blogger make a video of him cooking? Even if I might not learn it, watching him cook feels very healing.]
[Ahhh, same request for a cooking tutorial. Bloggers, film this next!]
...
Yu Wanwan looked at the flood of comments, the staggering likes, and the backend views, and felt a river of cash about to pour into her arms. She pressed her index finger to her lips, thinking. Since she married Zhang Jingxu, good luck seemed to follow her, and everything went smoothly.
He wasn't just her lucky charm; he was also her traffic key. Yu Wanwan decided that from today on, she would firmly hold onto his coattails.
Since netizens loved watching sweet videos of them together, she would fulfill their requests from now on, filming what they liked to see, and portray herself and Zhang Jingxu as a deeply 'in love' couple online.
...
Zhang Jingxu had been busy all morning at the company and finally got a breather near lunchtime. He sat in his office chair, staring at a pile of documents, but as he looked, his mind began to wander. Thinking about the lesson Yu Wanwan had given him last night, he couldn't help but savor the memory.
His secretary, Xiao Zhao, came in to deliver some files, snapping him out of his daydream. Xiao Zhao briefed him on the afternoon work schedule and was about to leave when Zhang Jingxu suddenly called him back.
Xiao Zhao's heart skipped a beat. Had something gone wrong with work?
Just as Xiao Zhao was feeling uneasy, Zhang Jingxu rubbed his chin, looking in high spirits, and said, "I'll test you with two brainteasers. If you get them both right, your salary doubles this month."
"Huh?" Xiao Zhao was taken aback, wondering if he had misheard. But hearing about a doubled salary, he immediately straightened up, ready for the boss's test.
Zhang Jingxu cleared his throat and first asked a simple question to lower his guard: "Among metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, which has the longest leg?"
"Fire," Xiao Zhao answered without hesitation. "Ham sausage (fire leg sausage)."
A completely uninspiring question. Xiao Zhao internally mused. It was the first time he had seen his normally stern, workaholic boss looking so cheerful and playful, even playing such childish games with his employees. Had he been possessed?
While Xiao Zhao's mind was wandering, Zhang Jingxu posed the second brainteaser: "Okay, second question. Listen up. When you're in the toilet and run out of toilet paper, who should you ask for help?"
Hearing this, Xiao Zhao tentatively answered, "Looking for... a colleague or a delivery guy to bring some?"
"Wrong." Seeing that Xiao Zhao had answered incorrectly as expected, Zhang Jingxu looked smug. Without giving him a second chance, he directly revealed the answer: "You should look for the emperor, because the emperor has paper (a pun: 'has a decree' sounds like 'has paper')."
"...Huh?" Xiao Zhao's brain didn't turn around quickly, and his face showed the same puzzled expression Zhang Jingxu had last night.
Zhang Jingxu suppressed a smile, walked over to him, patted his shoulder, and said meaningfully, "Really, you can't seize an opportunity even when it's handed to you. Work hard." Then he left.
Xiao Zhao: "..."
"Emperor has paper... Emperor..." he muttered the answer and suddenly realized the pun! He slapped his forehead in frustration. Brainteaser, brainteaser! Why hadn't his brain turned fast enough? He had just missed out on double pay.
Xiao Zhao grew more and more unwilling to accept it. At lunch, he filled his tray in the cafeteria and purposely sat next to Xiao Cheng from the tech department, telling her about his adventure as if it were a sensational piece of gossip.
"Emperor has paper? You couldn't answer such a simple question?" Xiao Cheng glanced at him with disdain. "An opportunity handed to you, and you couldn't use it."
Seeing his junior blurt out the answer, Xiao Zhao was stunned. "Wait... you knew the answer?"
Xiao Cheng replied nonchalantly, "I not only know the answer, but I also know the second half: finding the emperor is useless because that's a holy decree (leftover paper)."
Xiao Zhao: "..."
Good heavens, was there something wrong with his IQ?
While he was doubting himself, Xiao Cheng, who was biting a straw, suddenly brightened up as if she thought of something. "But why did President Zhang ask you such a childish question today?"
After all, the big boss usually gave her the impression of a ruthless workaholic. Asking employees such childish games today didn't fit his usual image. Xiao Cheng released the straw and whispered, "Do you think President Zhang has fallen in love recently? That would explain his changed demeanor."
A single remark enlightened Xiao Zhao. Recalling the boss's recent behavior and the smile on his face when asking about brainteasers in the office, he slapped his thigh. "Very likely! I've noticed President Zhang staring at his phone a lot lately. He must be in love!"
"But..." Xiao Cheng pressed her thumb to her lips, frowning in thought. "What kind of girl would a man like the boss like?"
...
Yu Wanwan went for afternoon tea with two of her close friends in the afternoon. Seeing her friends already seated and waiting on wicker chairs, she walked over slowly, wearing sunglasses and carrying two shopping bags, swaying her hips like a noblewoman, drawing everyone's attention.
Mi Xiaonai watched her pretentious and seductive figure, twitching her lips. As Yu Wanwan swayed over, she slapped her butt. "We said 3:30. Want to check what time it is now? And you still dare to swagger?"
"Ahem." Yu Wanwan cleared her throat, took off her sunglasses, and tossed them arrogantly onto the glass tea table. "Sorry, I was delayed half an hour picking out gifts for you."
She then handed each of them a shopping bag. "Here, the LV black one you wanted last time, and for our Enzhun, the Chanel pink series, matches the dress you bought last month."
Gu Enzhun took out the bag she had been eyeing for a while, looked at her friend who had been utterly broke last week, and couldn't help asking, "Why are you giving us gifts today? Came into money?"
"A small windfall." Yu Wanwan took a sip of coffee, acting mysterious. "Yesterday... I won 1.25 million from that scratch-off shop we always go to."
"What?!" Mi Xiaonai, who had been trying on the bag, jerked her head up in shock. "So the mysterious lady they put on the banner was you?!"
"Oh?" Yu Wanwan pretended to be surprised. "The owner put up a banner, huh?"
"But..." Mi Xiaonai looked at her suspiciously, pointing at her. "You usually have terrible luck. How could you suddenly win 1.25 million? Did you find Aladdin's lamp?"
"Something like that." Yu Wanwan smiled, feeling it was unbelievable herself. "I went to the shop with Zhang Jingxu yesterday. I didn't want to scratch, but he said his luck was good and insisted I try. And his luck really was amazing! He picked one, and I won 250,000! Picked another, won another million! So I walked away with 1.25 million without even investing a penny."
Her friends' mouths formed O's. After a long while, Mi Xiaonai came to her senses. "Wait... Is your man a wish machine or does he have some golden touch? One pick and it's first prize?"
"Maybe he's the God of Wealth in the 21st century. Oh-ho-ho-ho!" Yu Wanwan said, laughing arrogantly.
Gu Enzhun rested her cheek on her hand, looking at Yu Wanwan. "I've noticed that since Little Fish got married, your complexion has improved, your luck has turned, and even your Douya followers have been racking up."
Yu Wanwan preened her hair pretentiously. "It just shows how important it is to marry a good man—no, a man with a strong fate and all-around excellence." She pursed her lips slightly. "I haven't even tried to counteract his fate yet."
Mi Xiaonai looked at her with envy and jealousy, shouting up to the sky, "Gods above! When will you open your eyes and send me a man like that!"
They chatted for a while longer. Downstairs, the traffic was bustling, with constant honking. Gu Enzhun recalled what Yu Wanwan had said in the group chat about 'teaching him how to date.' So she asked, "I'm curious—since he asked you to teach him about love, what exactly did you teach him?"
