Chapter 746: Chapter 346: Director Zhang Is Afraid of His Wife, The Hardships of the Working Class (Part 2)

Because cultivating each member is extremely difficult.

Occasionally having a meal together is actually quite nice.

It can enhance the camaraderie between colleagues.

In most cases, a meal might cost just two or three hundred yuan.

This time, because there were more people, the dishes ordered were relatively expensive, and the portions were large, so the total cost was quite high.

"Scan the code and it’s yours!"

Director Zhang took out his phone to scan the code.

Not far behind, his wife was shedding tears.

She was clearly quite anxious.

She probably felt distressed about her husband spending so much money.

But in front of her husband’s colleagues, she gave him face and didn’t say much.

"Everyone enjoy the food and drink, I’ll head off now!"

Director Zhang waved to everyone.

"Old Zhang, take it slow on the road and comfort your wife well when you get home."

Old Yu isn’t much younger than Director Zhang.

Plus, they’re not in the same department, so there’s no superior-subordinate relationship, allowing him to speak more freely.

Director Zhang’s wife, seeing her husband drunk, could only support him.

After they had walked a distance, she began to scold her husband, "You tell me, can our son still get married? The girl’s family is asking for a dowry of 500,000 yuan, and we’re still far from that. Not only are you not worried, but you’re spending over a thousand on a meal here..."

Normally, 180,000 yuan for a dowry is already considered high.

For the bride’s family to ask for 500,000 yuan, it really is hard to get married these days!

Even for a high-income group like Director Zhang, coming up with 500,000 yuan isn’t easy.

"If I had known, I wouldn’t have let Director Zhang treat us this time."

The surgical nurse Chang Yueyue is a kind-hearted girl.

She obviously heard Director Zhang’s wife’s complaints too.

"A dowry of 500,000, the girl’s family really dares to ask. If I met someone I liked, I’d marry him without asking for a penny,"

Chen Meilian replied.

"Meilian, don’t be silly. From my experience, I tell you that you must ask for a dowry when marrying. Many men are sweet talkers. When it comes to money, they become selfish and reveal their true colors. Naked marriages carry a high risk. If you’re lucky to find a man who truly loves and cherishes you, it might be worth it. But if you meet a man who’s incompetent and only good at sweet-talking..."

Once he tricks you into his hands, he’ll immediately show his true self.

By that time, you won’t even have time to cry.

Receiving a dowry can test his attitude towards you. If he genuinely cares for you, returning the dowry after marriage or using it for the new family’s expenses are both good options."

Chang Yueyue advised her.

Most young girls are idealistic and romantically driven.

For instance, Ou Qinglan was willing to ask for leave and borrow money from her parents back home to help Li Jingsheng, even though they hadn’t been dating for long.

She was preparing to buy a shopfront for Li Jingsheng to open a clinic.

"Yueyue’s been through it, trust her experience,"

Teacher Ji agreed with Chang Yueyue’s viewpoint.

"Was Chang Yueyue deceived by a playboy?"

Dr. He gossipingly asked.

Men blooming at forty,

It is said that men at the age of forty are more prone to affairs.

Dr. He would often flirt with the young nurses, especially with Chang Yueyue, who was the most beautiful among the three nurses in the operating room.

At twenty-seven or eight, it’s an age full of femininity.

Youth hasn’t completely faded, yet there’s the charm of a mature woman.

"Haha, I haven’t encountered such a scumbag, but my cousin did. The scumbag claimed he owned cars and houses, had a stable job, and a high income when pursuing my cousin. But when it came to marriage, it turned out he was an unemployed bum, having made over 70,000 yuan one month from stocks – just that once.

Later, he lost everything, even his underpants.

He went around borrowing money from people.

Poor my cousin, she foolishly supported that scumbag, spent all her earnings of two years on him, and even used her savings.

The so-called house was just a self-built rural house, a single story.

The car was a second-hand Jetta, old enough to fall apart.

When we realized something was off, we advised her not to marry him. But she was two months pregnant then and considered her reputation, so she married him.

We had agreed the groom would only provide a 20,000-yuan dowry, but he didn’t pay a penny.

Less than three months after the wedding, the guy cheated.

My cousin even got beaten up by the scumbag.

Thankfully, the baby was only five months; hadn’t been born yet. With our persuasion, she divorced him and aborted the fetus.

After being deceived and hurt like this, she no longer believes in love.

Ironically, I heard that scumbag tricked another young girl. Nowadays, scumbags can only deceive you girls who foolishly believe in love above all, don’t give them the chance."

Chang Yueyue, while seemingly answering Dr. He’s question, was actually advising Chen Meilian and the young anesthetic nurse.

These days, honest men can’t find wives; instead, those irresponsible playboys often change girlfriends.

And they particularly target beautiful ones.

Maybe this is forcing honest men to evolve.

"If I look for someone, I’ll surely look for someone like Dr. Li, who can earn money, has a promising future, and is dedicated."

Chen Meilian, eyes glazed, spoke boldly.

"That cuts deep, why do all of you want to marry Dr. Li! You could also consider us other single guys!"
