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

Dawei said, "Dingyang, where are you planning to go? I have to go to work tomorrow, so I don't have time to keep you company."

"To be honest, I don't have anywhere else to go. I'd like to go to Chang'an to take a look."

"Go find Zhang Jianguo? He works at Jinbao Electronics Factory. I heard it has tens of thousands of employees, bigger than VTech."

"If you go to Jian Guo, what's the difference between that and working here? You might as well stay at VTech. You saw the QC supervisor yesterday; you can just walk in. Given her ambiguous attitude towards you, she won't say anything if you slack off at work."

"Dawei, I'm not going to Chang'an to see Jianguo this time. I plan to sell houses there."

"Selling houses, working as a real estate agent?"

Ding Yang patted Dawei on the shoulder: "Brother, there's nothing between us brothers to hide, so I might as well tell you the truth."

"I will never go back to working in a factory. I want to start a small business. If I can't make it and have to work, I'll find a place where rich women gather."

"Selling houses and luxury cars might bring you closer to rich women."

"Also, I'd like to go to the golf course and see if they're hiring, even just as a security guard or a caddie."

David was stunned.

"Brother, I'm completely in awe of you. I admire you even more now. I believe you will succeed. Just remember to give me a hand when you do."

"Alright, now that I'm emperor, I'll appoint you as Grand Eunuch."

"Holy crap, isn't that a eunuch?"

"Heh heh, how can I be at ease if I don't castrate you?"

"Get lost! What kind of brother are you?"

"I once heard a saying: 'Is loving your brothers more important than loving your wife?' In the end, it's loving your brothers' wives. Don't fucking say that!"

"Hehe, I'd go to great lengths for my brothers, but I'd never sleep with one of their women."

"Damn it, I made a bad choice in friends!"

"Since you're planning to go to Chang'an, I'll send you Zhang Jianguo's number. Contacting him and grabbing a meal shouldn't be a problem. Jianguo's a bit unreliable, a womanizer, but he's still a generous and loyal guy."

"Okay, I'll definitely contact him when I get to Chang'an."

"Let's go get some milk tea."

After waiting for about 40 or 50 minutes, my phone rang.

"Dawei, where are you guys?"

"It's right on the roadside, not far from the wholesale market."

"Come to the entrance of the wholesale market. I'm coming down. Let's go eat together."

"OK!"

A moment later, Lin Nana came over.

"Dawei, let's go eat."

Where are your parents?

"My parents aren't going; they're busy at lunchtime. It'll just be the three of us classmates."

"That would be so embarrassing!"

"It's nothing. We were just having a meal and talking with our classmates. What are they doing here? This way, my car is parked in the underground garage."

"Wait here for a moment, I'll drive over right away."

"oh!"

A moment later, a bright red Mazda 6 coupe pulled up in front of them.

"Ding Yang, Dawei, get in the car!"

The two got into the car.

David said, "Nana, no wonder she's a rich woman, she even has a car."

"Hey, a car is nothing special, almost every merchant in this market has one."

"How much did you buy it for?"

"I bought it last year; it cost nearly 30 yuan."

"Wow!"

David glanced at Ding Yang.

Ding Yang didn't speak.

Lin Nana said, "Dawei, let's try something different today. Let's go eat Chaozhou cuisine."

"Sure, we'll go with whatever you order. Whatever you choose, we'll eat."

After walking for a few kilometers, I arrived at a Chaozhou restaurant. It had a large storefront and was quite luxuriously decorated.

The three got off the bus.

Upon entering the restaurant, we went straight to the private room.

"Ding Yang, what would you like to eat? Order for yourself."

"No need. I've never had Chaozhou cuisine before. You order. Dawei and I are just country bumpkins, we've never seen anything like this before, so we don't want to embarrass ourselves."

"Don't say that. Actually, you all know more than I do. I came here right after I left school and have been in the market ever since."

Lin Nana picked up the menu and called out:

"Waiter, let's order: a Chaoshan-style braised lion's head goose, just the head and neck, from a three-year-old goose. Braised abalone, steamed grouper, stir-fried Puning dried tofu with garlic sprouts, salted vegetable and pork tripe soup, and stir-fried pork with sesame leaves."

"Ding Yang, Dawei, how about you guys have some baijiu?"

"OK!"

"Give me a bottle of premium Shiwan Jade Ice Tea."

"Alright, hurry up and serve the food."

"Okay, please wait a moment!"

"Wait, two more packs of Zhonghua cigarettes, please."

"OK!"

"Nana, don't you have an older sister? Is she here too?"

"Yes, my sister and brother-in-law are here. They're at the factory, not at the market."

"Oh, your family also owns a factory?"

"My aunt owns a factory, and some of our clothes are made there. When we receive an order, we take it to their factory for processing."

Ding Yang asked, "Where do you usually wholesale these clothes?"

"There are many in the Pearl River Delta, such as Foshan, Dongguan, and Zhongshan. Some street vendors or clothing stores in industrial areas basically source their goods from Humen."

"Some people from Hunan and Guangxi also source their goods here. There are many people from Hengyang, Hunan, who source their goods here. Sometimes I even ship to Hunan."

"Some of them are exported overseas, but my family doesn't sell them. What my family sells are relatively cheap, and they're not brand names."

"Actually, in the clothing business, as long as you get an order, you can take it to other factories to make it. If you want to create your own brand, you just need to design and register a trademark. You can leave the rest to contract manufacturers. The key is to have orders."

Dawei and Dingyang didn't quite understand, so they simply stopped asking.

Soon after, the dishes arrived, along with two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes, one for Dawei and one for Dingyang.

"Nana, you're too kind."

"No need to be so polite among old classmates; it's rare for you to come all this way."

The lion-head goose head was braised, and it was cut up and arranged on a platter; it looked quite nice.

David poured the wine.

"Dawei, you drink with Ding Yang, I don't drink, I have to drive later."

"OK!"

"Come on, let me offer you both tea instead of wine. Let's toast each other."

"Cheers!"

Ding Yang took a sip of Shiwan rice wine. This wine was easy to drink, and it was probably only 20 or 30 degrees alcohol.

This was Ding Yang's first time eating Chaozhou cuisine. Actually, he had never had the chance to eat abalone and grouper before, and he guessed Dawei was in a similar situation.

"Come and eat!"

David exclaimed in surprise:

"Damn, I didn't expect goose head to be so delicious."

The three of them were eating, and Lin Nana would occasionally steal glances at Ding Yang.

"Nana, do you have a boyfriend?"

"No, no, I'm busy working at the store every day, I don't have time to find a boyfriend."

"Ding Yang, where do you live?"

"I came here yesterday and stayed at a hotel across from Dawei's factory. I was originally looking for a job, but then I found out Dawei was in Houjie, so I came here to take a look."

"Oh, so what kind of job are you planning to look for?"

"Hey, I haven't decided yet. I'll probably mostly do manual labor. Anyway, it'll be relatively easy for me to get a job in a factory."

Dawei said, "Why bother looking for a job? I think you two are a good match. Why don't you go into the clothing business with Nana? We're old classmates from the same town, we know each other well, and I think Uncle Lin and the others would agree."

Lin Nana remained silent, blushing slightly.

Ding Yang cursed, "What nonsense are you spouting! Stop trying to play matchmaker and drink your wine."

Lin Nana asked, "Ding Yang, is she your girlfriend?"

Before Ding Yang could speak,

David spoke up first: "Nana, don't let his tall and strong appearance fool you, he's still a virgin. If you touch his hand, he'll wet his pants."

"What did you say? That's indecent!" The woman's face turned as red as an apple.

Ding Yang and David were toasting each other, and they finished a bottle of Shiwan rice wine in no time.

Lin Nana said, "Ding Yang, since we're here in Humen, after we finish eating, I'll take you to see the Humen Fort."

"Sure!"

"Waiter, the bill, please."

"Adding two packs of cigarettes, the total is 968."

Lin Nana opened her wallet, pulled out a stack of banknotes, which amounted to several thousand yuan, and counted out 10 bills.

Dawei and Dingyang were both stunned.

"Why is it so expensive?"

"This goose head is quite expensive; the goose head alone costs 380."

"Wow!"
