The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

In another ordinary residential area in Lucheng, Zheng Qi folded the clothes that she had collected from the balcony early in the morning and put them neatly in the closet.

As soon as she closed the closet door, her cell phone on the bedside table began to vibrate.

Xiao Yuzi: [Don't forget to meet at the old place at noon today! It's best to bring my goddaughter with you. ]

After opening YiXin, Zheng Qi looked at the message sent by Wang Yu on the screen, smiled, and replied briefly.

Guan Er: [Don't worry, I won't be late, but whether your goddaughter comes or not depends on her mood. I can't persuade her.]

After putting down the phone, the daughter who was playing in the living room seemed to have sensed something. Zheng Qi only heard her daughter trotting in her soft-soled slippers, and soon she appeared at the door of the room.

Zhang Si ignored his father who was half-paralyzed on the bed and waving at him expectantly. He ran straight to Zheng Qi who was sitting on the bed and threw himself into her arms.

Zhang Fan felt heartbroken as he watched his leaky little cotton jacket ignore him.

"Mom, did your phone ring just now? Did Aunt Xiaoyu send you a message?"

Zhang Si's teeth haven't grown all yet, and she speaks in a baby voice. Zheng Qi couldn't help but smile because of her daughter's question, and reached out to hold her daughter and make her sit on her lap.

The scene of a loving mother and a filial daughter is warm and harmonious. If we ignore Zhang Fan, who has a complicated expression on his face, the picture might be even warmer.

Zhang Fan, who had been expecting something, was hurt by his beloved daughter's disregard. He silently covered his chest and showed a heartbroken expression to his wife Zheng Qi.

But unfortunately, even his wife didn't comfort him this time.

"Yes, Aunt Xiaoyu also said that she wanted to see you. Do you want to go with your mother to play with Aunt Xiaoyu?"

Zheng Qi asked with a smile. Zhang Si was about to answer, but suddenly seemed to think of something and turned around to look at her father Zhang Fan who had been left aside by her, and shook her head hesitantly.

"Although I like Aunt Xiaoyu very much, Daddy is alone at home with no one to accompany him, and Sisi has to stay at home to take care of Daddy."

As soon as Zhang Si said this, Zhang Fan's heart, which had been hurt a few seconds ago, was suddenly comforted, and he looked at his precious daughter with a loving face again.

He is indeed worthy of being called his caring little father. Even at such a young age he knows how to feel sorry for his old father.

Zheng Qi also turned her head to look at her husband Zhang Fan, whose expression had changed several times in the past few moments, and glared at him with a smile.

After comforting Zhang Fan's wounded heart, Zhang Si ran to Zhang Fan and hugged him in a proper manner, then trotted out of the room to continue his battle of wits and courage with his toys.

"Wife, besides you and Wang Yu, is your deskmate going to join us at noon today?"

"She's been very busy lately. She might be traveling between various countries on Blue Star right now."

Although Zhang Fan was not in the same class as Zheng Qi, they were in the same grade in high school, and he had heard from his wife that Xu Yiyu was Zheng Qi's deskmate.

When Zheng Qi heard her husband mention Xu Yiyu, she wanted to have a meal with this classmate but she still hadn't made an appointment, so she opened Yixin again, clicked on Xu Yiyu's dialog box and sent a message.

Guan Er: [My busy deskmate, are you free at noon today? Do you want to have a meal with me and Wang Yu? ]

Zheng Qi put down her phone after sending the message, and did not expect Xu Yiyu, who was busy with work, to reply immediately.

After all, I have seen this classmate more than once on Weibo and on TV social news. Logically speaking, she might be very busy now.

"Wife, are you really not going to take Sisi and me with you this afternoon? For my poor sake..."

"Go away, why are you interfering with my little sister's party? Sisi is willing to stay at home with you, so it should be okay for me to sneak away for a while, right?"

Seeing her husband acting in front of her, Zheng Qi pushed Zhang Fan's leg in annoyance and scolded him with a smile.

After Zhang Fan blinked twice in grievance, he couldn't continue acting anymore and burst out laughing.

Zheng Qi usually accompanies his baby daughter. He is busy with work and it is rare for him to have some free time this weekend to spend time with his daughter. He also doesn't really want to go out and join his wife's sisters' dinner.

An hour and a half later, Zheng Qi appeared in a restaurant in Qianda Plaza.

After seeing Wang Yu waving at him from a very conspicuous position, Zheng Qi hurried over.

"You're really hard to date. My goddaughter is even harder to date."

"I didn't mean to not bring her here today. It was your dear goddaughter Sisi who offered to stay home with her father. I tried to persuade her, but it was no use."

Wang Yu, whose face showed no signs of aging, pushed the menu with a few dishes already checked to Zheng Qi. She rested her chin on her hand and stared at her friend who was wearing a simple dress, with a hint of melancholy between her brows.

Zheng Qi had just picked up the pen and noticed the expression of his friend opposite him as soon as he looked up. As the person who knew Wang Yu's personality best, he found this scene somewhat fresh.

"What's wrong? You don't seem to be in a good state today..."

"Alas... my family member's company will announce the list of promotions next month. He has been waiting for three years. If his name is not on the list this time, he plans to work on his own."

Although Wang Yu was married, Zheng Qi rarely heard her mention her husband. The last time she heard Wang Yu mention him was not long after she got married.

Zheng Qi only knew that the company where Wang Yu's husband worked was a semi-state-owned enterprise, and there wasn't too much work to do. As long as she could endure the boredom, she could work in this leisurely manner until retirement.

But the reality is often cruel. Although he and Wang Yu both work, their income can only barely keep up with their expenses, not to mention that they still have 20 years of mortgage to repay. The pressure is extremely great.

"Going it alone... Has he thought it through? He is currently employed by the government. If he goes out on his own, he will lose this security."

"My dear, you know the situation between him and me. If we don't start our own business, if one of us loses his job, we will have to stop paying for this house."

Feeling Wang Yu's low mood, Zheng Qi simply put down the pen in his hand and reached out to pat Wang Yu's hand on the table.

She could comfort Wang Yu, but she and Zhang Fan were just an ordinary family, and they had a child to raise, and they were not without worries in life. She couldn't really help her good friend at the moment.

As if to remind the two, the TV in the store, which had been black, suddenly lit up. After buffering the picture for a while, it froze on a building that was very familiar to both of them.

When Zheng Qi saw the Qiyun Holiday Hotel flash by on the screen, his heart seemed to be suddenly illuminated, and he opened his mouth to say something.

But when he opened his mouth halfway, he hesitated again.

She knew that there was someone who could definitely solve Xiao Yuzi's current troubles, but she was really undecided whether to disturb her who was already very busy.

Zheng Qi really doesn't want to allow worldly considerations to be mixed into their friendship that has lasted from high school to the present, unless it is absolutely necessary.

Wang Yu looked up and noticed Zheng Qi's conflicted and struggling expression, and a hint of doubt arose in his heart.

"Isn't it me who is worried? Old Zheng, why are you frowning so hard... Smile."

Wang Yu's playful words of comfort floated into Zheng Qi's ears, allowing him to put aside his last bit of hesitation and offer his own suggestions to his friend.

"Xiao Yuzi, I know someone who can help you."

"The one who made you hesitate for so long and couldn't speak... must be someone I know?"

Zheng Qi picked up her mobile phone and found a post on Weibo that was previously posted by the official Weibo account of Tianyu Holding Group. She pushed the phone screen in front of Wang Yu and motioned her to click on the post.

"This is……?"

"Tianyu Holdings Group is also recruiting talents, so Xiaoyuzi, you should know who I'm talking about, right?"

Wang Yu carefully looked at the recruitment information with the suffix of Tianyu Human Resources Department, and immediately understood Zheng Qi's hint.

——If there is someone among these old classmates who has the ability and kindness to give her husband a chance to get out of the predicament, then the only person who meets all the conditions is Xu Yiyu.
