A Lazy Man and a Pretty Woman in the 1980s? They Both Got Rich in Secret

Who says slacking off can't make you rich? The matchmakers across town bet that these two notorious catches would never marry, but they ended up joining forces to corner the market!

Men mustn't marry Zheng's daughter from South Lane, and women mustn't marry the fourth son of the Lu family from North Lane!

One can only be coaxed out of bed with scallion pancakes, and makes a quick-witted accountant cry during a blind date.

The other clocks in at the last possible second every day and declares during a blind date that he needs to sleep fourteen hours a day!

The matchmakers from the whole district pooled a dozen yuan to place their bets: Which of these two lazybones would starve first?

But no one knew that behind closed doors, these two "catches" were secretly the most ambitious overachievers of the 1980s!

On the surface, the heroine goofs off at the radio station. In private, she's a famous serial novelist whose manuscripts earn six yuan per thousand characters, and she's got so much pocket money her hands cramp from counting it!

The hero looks like a good-for-nothing, but he turns scrap parts from the factory into rare radios, snapping up the entire supply of rural goods for himself!

When a lazy woman's uncanny business instincts meet a genius engineering man's hard-core modification skills, the two sly foxes hit it off and turn reject canned goods and hard-to-find electronics into a money-making legend!

The matchmakers are still waiting for them to beg on the streets, but the two are already cruising down Huaiyin Road on an imported motorcycle, acting like they own the place!

The matchmakers are completely dumbfounded: Weren't you supposed to slack off? How did you quietly become the richest people in town?!
