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

The three of them started eating a late-night snack.

"Ding Yang, now that you've quit your job, what are your plans for the future?"

Ding Yang shook his head: "I'll start looking for a job tomorrow. I can't just sit around doing nothing all day, can I?"

"Ding Yang, I'm pretty familiar with the QC supervisor now. You have a vocational school diploma and QC experience, so why don't you come work for our factory? I guarantee you'll get in."

"Come on, if I wanted to be a QC, I wouldn't need to come to VTech. I could slack off every day at the Shinano plant."

"Dude, if you're not going to work in a factory, what are you doing? Preparing for graduate school?"

"Oh, I'd like to find a job with more freedom, where I can meet a rich woman."

"Pfft!" Wang Chang laughed.

"Yeah, with your looks, it's a shame you're not chasing after rich women. I bet if you just gave them a flirty look, no woman could resist. I'm fucking jealous."

"Give me a break, what good are looks these days? Can they be used to swipe a card or pay the bill?"

"Oh, Ding Yang, how are your grandparents doing?"

"He's still in relatively good health. After all, he's getting old, so it's just like that. I've been away for over three months now, and I've called him a few times. He always says he's doing well and tells me not to worry, but who knows if he's just reporting good news and hiding bad news?"

"It should be nothing serious. If anything were wrong, my parents would tell me."

"Let's hope so!"

"Come on, cheers!"

The two were chatting and drinking beer when a woman in her thirties suddenly appeared. She was wearing a white collared short-sleeved shirt and had a company badge around her neck, so she looked like she was in management.

This young woman was probably coming over for a late-night snack.

To everyone's surprise, David immediately stood up.

"Hey boss, you're here for a late-night snack too?"

"Xiao Ding, you're here too!"

The woman suddenly looked at Ding Yang.

He cursed under his breath, "Where did such a handsome guy come from?"

To everyone's surprise, Dawei said, "This is my buddy Ding Yang, he just arrived today."

"Hello!"

"Hello!"

Ding Yang thought to himself that this woman must be their department head.

Dawei said, "Boss, come sit down and have some food with us!"

Unexpectedly, the woman was not polite at all and sat down at the table.

David poured her a glass of beer.

"Hey handsome, are you here looking for a job with that suitcase?"

"Pretty much, I just quit my job in Fenggang and came here."

"Oh, you also want to join VTech?"

"No, I just got here. I'll take a look first."

"What did you do in Fenggang before?"

"I worked as a QC in the factory, but I didn't do it for more than a few days."

"Why don't you come work at our factory? Our department is hiring a QC, and I'll personally interview them. Would you like to give it a try?"

Dawei and Wang Chang were stunned. They exchanged a glance, thinking, "Is this the charm of a handsome guy? Is he actively trying to win me over?"

Ding Yang was somewhat surprised.

"Thank you, but I don't plan to go into the factory right now."

"So what kind of job are you planning to do?"

Ding Yang smiled.

"I'll go wherever there are lots of rich women, ready to take a shortcut."

"puff!"

The woman laughed.

"Then go to the Jia Hua Hotel. I heard they have male escorts and gigolos there."

Ding Yang laughed and said, "I'm going to be a gigolo, will you support me?"

The woman's face flushed red instantly.

"What are you saying! Disgusting."

David was speechless. He never expected that these two would dare to talk about this. It was truly an eye-opener.

The woman asked, "Xiao Ding, is this your girlfriend?"

"Yes!"

"You're quite pretty, and you two are a good match."

"Thanks!"

A short while later, the woman ate a bowl of fried noodles and left.

"Goodbye, handsome!"

"goodbye!"

After the woman left, Ding Yang smiled and said:

"Dawei, are all the female supervisors in your factory this thirsty?"

"She saw a handsome guy, that's why. If he were just an ordinary employee, this woman wouldn't even give him a second glance."

"How old are you?"

"I haven't actually asked. I think she's around 30. I heard she's divorced, but I don't know the specifics, and I don't dare to ask casually."

"Actually, at VTech, it's an open secret that female managers keep younger men and flirt with male technicians. It's nothing unusual. Many people rent apartments and live together outside."

"There are already few men and many women in the factory. Most of the men who are even remotely good-looking have girlfriends. Many men come to this factory just to find girlfriends."

"They're all about the same. The factory I work at in Fenggang is actually quite big. Although it's not as big as VTech, it still has more than 4000 employees, and there are mostly more women than men."

"Many men are incredibly ugly, yet they still manage to date beautiful women."

David said, "Then why are you leaving? Just come in. This woman just said that being a QC is easy for you."

Ding Yang took out two cigarettes, one for each of them.

"Dawei, I'm 24 this year, not 18. I don't have much time to waste in the factory. If I want to pick up girls, where can't I?"

"It's not that working in a factory is bad, but there's not much of a future there. The ceiling is set; at best, you can become a supervisor, but even if you become a supervisor, what good is three or four thousand yuan a month?"

"If I were eighteen or nineteen, I would definitely work in a factory for a few more years and date some pretty girls. But now, I can't waste any more time. You know my family's situation very well. My grandparents are getting old, and I have to earn some money to buy them coffins."

"Actually, I'm not afraid of hardship. As long as there's money to be made, I'll do anything, even carrying manure."

"You can slack off in the factory because it's all about working hours. No matter how hard you work, you won't get extra money, so you can slack off whenever you can."

"Oh, Ding Yang, Zhang Jianguo is also in Dongguan. I have his QQ. I chatted with him online a few days ago. He works at Jinbao Electronics in Chang'an, Dongguan. He also mentioned you to me."

"Oh, why is everyone going to factories? Isn't anyone doing business?"

"Yes, Lin Nana runs a clothing business in Humen and is doing quite well. I saw her not long ago. It's not far from Houjie. Why don't you go and do business with her?"

"Come on, we were just junior high classmates, there's no real connection between us, we might not even remember each other. They're starting a business, and I don't have any capital, what would I do there?"

"Boss, two more bottles of beer, please."

"Okay!"

"Dawei, you need to go back to the factory later, right? It'll be too late to get back in."

"No need, I'm off tomorrow. I've already talked to my supervisor today. I'll stay at a hotel with you tonight, and after we have some late-night snacks, I'll take you out for a walk."

"Xiao Chang, you can go back to your dorm by yourself later."

"oh!"

Around 10 o'clock, Wang Chang returned to his dormitory at the factory.

Ding Yang was about to pay the bill when Dawei insisted on doing so.

"Ding Yang, I got paid the day before yesterday, and I have money on me now."

"Let's go to the hotel first, get a room, put your suitcase in the room, and then I'll take you outside for a walk."

"OK!"
