Making a living in Dongguan, her fiery red lips offer me tenderness.

"You'll be working as an HR person here. Learn the job quickly and strive for a promotion as soon as possible. If I start my own company in the future, I hope you'll become my HR manager."

"Don't worry, I've learned my lesson, I'll work hard."

"Qinghe, you are still young. Work hard at the company and strive to become a professional manager in the future."

"Brother Xiaoyang, I will try my best too."

"Um!"

After walking for about 10 minutes, they arrived at Gangxia Urban Village, where there were many rental agencies. Ding Yang helped the two of them find a place to live.

After Ding Yang and the other two left...

Tan Yan went downstairs to the parking lot and opened the door of the Mercedes-Benz S600.

I sat in the passenger seat, opened the glove compartment, took out all sorts of odds and ends, and with a strong pry at the bottom, pulled out something that looked like a cell phone. Actually, it was a Sony recorder that could record up to a hundred hours of audio.

The recorder is connected to the car's internal power supply by a cable, and it automatically starts working as soon as the car is started.

Ding Yang was still too inexperienced; he never expected Tan Yan to pull this trick on him.

Tan Yan went upstairs, returned to his office, locked the door, plugged in his headphones, and turned on the recorder.

The recording began when Ding Yang left Shenzhen for Tangxia. No one spoke while driving; it was all busy signals.

Tan Yan pressed fast forward...

A few minutes after fast-forwarding, Ding Yang's voice suddenly appeared.

"Sister, are you in Tangxia?"

"Come downstairs, I'm right downstairs, hurry up."

Another busy signal, and after a while...

……

Then, a conversation between Ding Yang and Liu Cuicui could be heard:

"Sis, I've struck it rich, I'm incredibly rich! Go upstairs right now and pack your things, then come with me. I never want to see you here again, I can't stand it for even a minute..."

Then it was all about Liu Cuicui and Ding Yang's conversation...

Tan Yan listened carefully; it was mostly a conversation between the two siblings, mostly about persuading her to leave her life behind and discussing the matter of rich women.

After listening for about ten minutes...

Sudden,……

"Xiaoyang, when I visited you in Yantian last time, you were with two women, who seemed to be factory supervisors. How are they doing now?"

Tan Yan immediately perked up and listened attentively.

"We broke up. They thought I was poor and that I was a womanizer. After I left the factory, I went to Chang'an. Later, I went to see them again and slept with them for one night. They told me not to look for them anymore, that they would block me, and that we should all go our separate ways."

"Those two foolish women have no taste at all; they can't recognize a gem inlaid with gold..."

"...I always feel sorry for Wang Yi. After all, she gave me her first time. A girl's virginity is priceless, and I'm the one who ruined her..."

……

"...Xiaoyang, you've been with both of those girls?"

……

"Could it be a non-resident child?"

"Um!"

Tan Yan was stunned. Her heart raced, and tears welled up in her eyes... It felt like her heart had been stabbed.

then……

"My advice to you is to make as much money as possible while you're still in the throes of your new relationship. Once she finds out you're having affairs, she might cut off your source of income."

"It doesn't matter anymore. Actually, I'm not afraid of her at all now. Even if we break up, it doesn't matter."

…………

"Sister, I paid for the house in full, and it's in my name on the deed. She bought it for me voluntarily. Even if we break up, she can't get the house back..."

With this house, I feel confident enough to pursue any rich woman.

Tan Yan's eyes welled up with tears. It turned out it was all a lie, a lie...

then……

"Xiaoyang, if you really want to be secure, then you have to have a child with her. If you have a child with her, that's more secure than anything else. Even if you break up in the future, you can still get some money from her."

…………

Tan Yan was on the verge of a breakdown, wanting nothing more than to smash the recorder, frantically pressing fast forward, fast forward... fast forward...

Much later, something even more explosive happened...

A middle-aged woman's voice...

Ding Yang said:

"Sister-in-law, how is your recovery going?"

"It's alright. When you went out last time, I was on my way back by car and I bled quite a bit. I had to stay in bed for two days."

"Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry, I didn't expect to get you pregnant."

"Xiaoyang, I'm not sorry, I just feel it's a pity. If we hadn't had the abortion, you would be over seven months along now, almost ready to give birth, and you could be a father."

…………

Hehe, I want to do it with you again, you can't complain about it.

……

Tan Yan could hardly believe her ears...

Tears streamed down my face. Fast forward, fast forward...

Not long after, a woman's voice was heard again...

"Xiaoyang, my lower body hurts so much."

"What's wrong? A gynecological problem?"

"Are you out of your mind?"

"Hehe, sorry, maybe I've been doing it too often these past few days..."

"Um!"

"You're amazing..."

"...She's 40 years old, and probably only you can satisfy her."

……

"Between me and Tan Yan, who do you prefer...?"

"Is that even a question?"

"...Your voice is a little softer than hers..."

Tan Yan couldn't listen anymore.

"Hey!" He slammed the tape recorder to the ground.

Finally, the tears broke free...

My heart is bleeding.

Tan Yan, tears streaming down her face, leaned against the sofa, trembling with anger.

A dozen minutes later, she picked up her phone and dialed Wang Chan's number. Wang Chan was a lawyer and her best friend. She owned a law firm and was also Tan Yan's company's legal counsel.

"Hey, Chan'er, it's me."

"Hey beautiful, it's been a while since you've contacted me. Don't you still consider me your best friend?"

"Chan'er, do you have time? I'd like to invite you to dinner."

"Yan'er, not today. I'm on a business trip in Huizhou and can't come back. You can tell me what's wrong over the phone. I'm in a hotel room now. It's quiet and there's no one around. Just tell me what's wrong."

"Wait, Yan'er, your voice sounds off. Are you crying?"

"No!"

"You're lying. We've been best friends for so many years, don't I know you? Tell me, what's wrong? You're crying? Someone like you can cry? I always thought you were a tough guy."

"Chan'er, I was scammed by a man a while ago?"

"Huh... really? With your IQ, who could possibly fool you?"

Then Tan Yan talked to her about Ding Yang, telling her everything like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.

A dozen minutes later...

"Yan'er, you're such a love-struck fool. A few sweet words and you're all bought off with just 3000 yuan?"

"No, he was so poor, and he suddenly gave me 3000 yuan. I was really touched."

"Yan'er, this guy really has high emotional intelligence; most women couldn't handle that. Why didn't you tell me sooner about all this?"
