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

"Sister, don't talk like that without understanding the situation. Working in a factory, I only make one or two thousand yuan a month. What can I do with that? It's not even enough to cover my own expenses."

"Can't you be a little more frugal?"

"It's not a matter of saving money or not, it's that I simply can't stand the constraints in the factory."

"I've gotten so used to spending money extravagantly that there's no going back now."

"go!"

"Chanjuan, I have a question for you."

"Tell me, you chat with me every night, but you never spend time with your boyfriend?"

"I don't have a boyfriend, I'm single now, didn't I tell you that already?"

"oh!"

"Excuse me for asking, how are your financial situation?"

"It's alright, I own a house in Shenzhen. Why are you asking about this?"

"Hehe, if you're financially well-off, why don't you patronize my business?"

"Go away, I don't like roast duck, and I'm not interested in roast meats at all."

"Can I give you some food for free?"

"nerve!"

"Fengyue, we've been chatting for so long, but I still haven't seen what you look like. Could you send me a picture?"

"I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to send you photos, I just really don't have any."

"Why don't you just take a picture with your phone?"

"My phone doesn't have a camera."

"Who are you trying to fool? Who doesn't have a camera on their phone these days?"

"Really, no, if you don't believe me, that's fine too."

"You have it on your computer, right? Turn on your computer's webcam."

"Sister, why take pictures? Typing is just as good, and it can maintain a bit of mystery."

"But I'm getting more and more curious about you. I don't want to keep this mystery going. I want to see what you look like."

"Sister Chanjuan, you don't happen to have a crush on me, do you? We don't do online dating."

"Come on, stop being so narcissistic, okay? Who likes you anyway?"

"It's right that you don't like me. I'm the kind of person that neither your uncle nor your grandmother loves. You absolutely mustn't like me."

Where's your girlfriend?

"We broke up a long time ago, didn't I tell you last time? We haven't been in touch for almost a month."

"Really?"

Why would I lie to you? She knows what I do, and she doesn't want to do it anymore.

"understand!"

"Actually, not having a girlfriend is fine. Between men and women, if a man isn't after a woman's sex, what can anyone do to me?"

"You always manage to find some twisted logic."

"Alas, true feelings are fleeting, only tricks win hearts. Once you step into the world of prostitution, you're forever separated from your beloved."

"Fengyue, do your relatives, friends, and parents know what you're saying?"

"I have no parents, I'm an orphan, and I don't have many relatives or friends. I guess no one knows, and even if they did, it wouldn't matter. As long as I have no morals, morality can't restrain me."

"Are you an orphan?"

"Um!"

"You've had it so tough."

"It's nothing. Strong people never complain about their environment. Even bitter herbs grow up eventually. I don't care about the past now, I only care about the present."

"Look at you, you're mortgaging your future. If you keep doing this, you might even have kidney problems later on."

"What is the future? I don't even believe I have a future. In this fast-paced era, you never know whether tomorrow or an accident will come first. Thinking about the future will only make you more worried."

"In this materialistic age, you can't trust anyone but money. When I first came to Dongguan, I went hungry and even fed mosquitoes."

"I've experienced most of life's hardships, and now I live more clearly. I enjoy the kindness others give me, and there's nothing wrong with that."

"These days, everyone talks about gender equality, but when women suffer, people sympathize, but when men suffer, no one sympathizes; they just call you a coward."

"If a woman is squatting by the roadside, wearing tattered clothes, and a man feels sorry for her eating a 3-yuan boxed lunch, he will feel sorry for her. But if a man eats a 3-yuan boxed lunch, 9 out of 10 women will look down on him. The only woman who will feel sorry for him is his mother. This is the reality of modern society."

"If you don't want to be disliked, you have to make more money."

"You've become obsessed with money, haven't you?"

"Sister, that's because you have money, you don't lack money. When you lack money, you won't think like that."

"Fengyue, can we video chat? I want to see you."

"Oh no, my environment is a bit harsh, I'm afraid you can't stand it, so let's not video chat. But I can still have a voice call with you, just to hear your voice."

"Alright!"

Ding Yang initiated a voice call, and the other party accepted.

"Hello!"

"Hello, beautiful lady!"

"Hello, Mr. Fengyue!"

"Your voice is so gentle."

"Your voice is also very magnetic, no wonder it's so attractive."

"Hehe, thanks!"

"Fengyue, you're so busy every night, how do you still find time to chat with me?"

"Business isn't very good right now. When there's no business, I'll chat with you. When there is business, I'll go do my business."

"You're not far from Shenzhen from Chang'an, do you have time to come to Shenzhen for a visit?"

"What, you want to see me?"

"It's not that it's impossible."

"Hehe, to be honest, I've never met you online. Going to Shenzhen to meet you? Forget it. I'd better hurry up and save up some more money."

"So how much money have you saved over the years?"

"No, I haven't saved much money. I've spent all the money I earned."

"Sister, you don't actually like me, do you?"

"Stop being so narcissistic, okay?"

"Sister, you're divorced and don't have a boyfriend. If you chat with me for a long time, you might easily become dependent on me and even fall in love with me."

"Go away, I would never fall in love with a roast duck seller."

"Please don't discriminate based on occupation, okay? What's wrong with selling roast duck? Even wild lilies have their spring."

"Actually, what you need most right now is a boyfriend. You're divorced, single, 41 years old, and in the prime of your life. If you date me, I can provide the emotional support you need. Isn't that great?"

"Handsome, you've brought your business to me."

"Hehe, I'm not trying to drum up business; I just want to help you out and do my bit."

"Go away, I don't need it."

"Sister, stop being so stubborn, okay? If you didn't need a man, you wouldn't be chatting with me late at night. To be honest, aren't you just feeling lonely and empty right now?"

"We're all adults, why pretend to be so serious? Working during the day is tiring enough, so relax at night and don't be so tense. Say whatever you want, no need to pretend. Isn't chatting online just about venting your emotions?"

"We don't know each other and have never met before, so let's just consider this a chance to vent and get our frustrations out."

"Hmm, maybe you're right."

"Excuse me for being frank, but at your age, it's really not easy to find a partner. You're not satisfied with an older man, and you're afraid you won't be able to handle a younger guy, and you're even more afraid that he'll cheat you out of money."

"Find someone your own age. If they're outstanding, they might already have a family. But if they're just average, you won't be interested. You'll be stuck in a rut, not good enough for anyone."
