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

"Yi'er, I can understand if you want to find a boyfriend."

"I won't look for you. I didn't mean to betray you unless you cut off all contact with me and didn't want me anymore. You're my first love, and I don't want to give you up."

"Thank you, Yi'er. I will cherish this relationship. I will come to see you again once I've settled down."

"Okay! Then promise me you'll remember to think of me."

"Yes, it will!"

"Ningyang, I'm hanging up now. I have to go to work."

"good!"

After hanging up the phone,

David asked, "You still have a girlfriend?"

"Yes, she was the one who interviewed me on my first day at the factory. I was the QC supervisor there. I was her first love, and she was a little reluctant to let me go."

"Wow, that's impressive. No wonder they can call you during work hours. You're not allowed to bring your phone to work in an electronics factory. Only high-level executives can make calls during work hours."

"I guess so!"

"Ding Yang, since you're her first love, that means she's a virgin. Why don't you just marry her? A factory supervisor is better than an ordinary factory girl, right? Your grandparents would definitely agree."

"Sigh! To be honest, it wouldn't be a bad idea to marry her, but I don't have any thoughts about finding a wife right now."

"Dude, let me tell you the truth, I want to find a rich woman now, even if it means marrying into her family as a son-in-law, I'm willing to do it."

"Wow, what defines a rich woman? In our factory, being a female supervisor makes you a rich woman?"

"Dawei, that's because your vision is too narrow. The rich woman I'm talking about is at least in the tens of millions. The female supervisor in the factory is at best a slightly higher-level worker. She has nothing to do with being a rich woman."

"Dawei, we're still young. It's too easy for us to fall in love. If someone's pretty, a little flirting and a few words are all it takes to get them hooked. But what's the point? Can that put food on the table?"

"Love at first sight is merely lust at first sight, while love that grows over time may be a result of weighing the pros and cons. Love begins with physical appearance, is captivated by talent, remains loyal to character, and is infatuated with the body. In the end, it is defeated by material things and succumbed to reality! Without a solid economic foundation, everything will end up as a mess."

"These days, if a man doesn't have a source of income, no matter how good his character is, he's worthless in other people's eyes and not worth associating with. When you can't come up with money, even your most basic dignity is trampled underfoot. Life won't give you face; it will only slap you in the face. A man doesn't have to be handsome, but he must work hard to make money, not to chase women. When you have money, you can have countless women to chase."

"I've been out in the game for so many years, and I've never trusted women. I only trust myself. She can say she loves you today, but she can still be in someone else's bed tomorrow."

"Dawei, a good man's ambition lies in all corners of the world, and a good woman is always in a private room. Don't you believe it?"

"Brilliant! You're a fucking philosopher!"

"Ding Yang, you'll definitely find a rich woman someday. Don't forget to give your brother a hand then. I don't want to work in a factory for the rest of my life."

"Sigh! Easier said than done, where are the rich women? Damn it!"

The two returned to the small hotel.

Ding Yang quickly took a cold shower.

The small hotel had two beds, and each person was lying on one.

Dawei asked, "Ding Yang, how many women have you slept with since you left the school?"

"Aren't you tacky? How boring!"

"Hehe, I've heard about your heroic deeds. You've slept with quite a few of the old women left behind in our Xiahe Village."

"Nonsense! This is baseless speculation. Go to sleep!"

"She's not my woman, you can sleep with her if you want, what's wrong with saying anything?"

"I wasn't sleeping, I was doing a good deed, helping people relieve their loneliness."

"go!"

Suddenly a strange noise came from next door.

"Ding Yang, what's that noise next door?"

"What else could it be but a 'honeymoon' sound? It's probably a couple checking into a hotel or factory."

"Oh shit!"

……

Ding Yang got up early the next morning.

"Dawei, aren't you going to work today?"

"No, I'll play with you for another day. I've already talked to my supervisor, I'll go to work tomorrow."

"OK!"

"Ding Yang, Humen isn't far from here. Why don't we go to Humen and visit Lin Nana? She lives in the Humen Clothing Wholesale Market."

"Why do you always want to go see Lin Nana? She's a businesswoman, we're just employees. It's not the same path at all. What's the point of going there?"

"Ding Yang, to be honest, I've thought about starting a business before, but I didn't have the capital or much experience. Why don't you go over there and take a look? Maybe we can do business together in the future. We're old classmates, so it's no big deal to chat, right? You haven't offended her."

"There are forts in Humen, and we can also visit the scenic area. Anyway, we're bored, so we can come over in the evening."

"Alright, let's go take a look."

"Ding Yang, wait for me a moment, I'm going back to the factory dormitory to change my clothes."

"Go ahead, I'll wait for you at the breakfast shop at the alley across the street."

"OK!"

"Ding Yang, why don't we stay here for another night? You can leave your luggage here, and I'll go pay the extra room fee."

"Alright!"

After a short while, the two finished washing up, and Dawei quickly went downstairs to pay for another day's room.

Ding Yang changed into casual clothes, washed his hair, and tidied it up.

Not long after, Dawei returned to the factory, changed his clothes, and met him at the breakfast shop.

About half an hour later, the two boarded the L1 bus on Guantai Road and headed to Humen.

The bus ride took about half an hour, and from a distance we could see a skyscraper under construction. The scaffolding hadn't been removed yet, and it wasn't fully completed. I heard it was the tallest building in Dongguan.

Arriving at the Yellow River Clothing Wholesale Market,

The two got out of the car.

"Dawei, you've been here before?"

"I came here once when I was looking for a job. Lin Nana works at the Fumin Garment Wholesale Market, which is very close to here. This side is newly built, while the Fumin side is older."

Walk about 200 meters to reach the Fumin Wholesale Market.

At 10 o'clock, the wholesale market was packed with people and very crowded.

The two went up to the second floor, walked around a few corners, and came to a small stall in the back row, which was filled with various clothing samples, about five or six square meters in size.

A middle-aged couple is negotiating a price with someone, and they are taking notes with a pen.

Dawei called out in his hometown dialect, "Hello, Uncle Lin! How's business?"

"Xiao Ding, it's you..."

"Uncle Lin, this is Ding Yang. We're classmates. He's here to see Nana."

"oh!"

Ding Yang said, "Hello, uncles and aunties!"

The Lin couple looked at Ding Yang and were stunned. What a handsome young man!

Hello, hello!

"Nana just went to get some samples, she'll be back in a bit. There's not even a place to sit, I'm so sorry."

"Uncle, please don't be so polite. You go about your business and don't worry about us. We're just looking around."

"Okay, okay, Nana will be here soon."

Ding Yang and Dawei walked away.

"Ding Yang, everyone who does clothing business here is rich. This small stall costs 2 yuan a month in rent, and you can't even find one. If it's near the elevator, it's even more expensive. The transfer fee alone can easily be hundreds of thousands of yuan."

"Damn it, why is it so easy for other people to make money, but for us it's like eating shit, so hard."
