My Wild Wife in Shanghai

After a busy day, Chen Ye and Kong Fei both had aches and pains in their backs.

But I felt very comfortable inside.

"Chen Ye, this won't work!" Kong Fei wiped the sweat from her forehead. "You need to promote it to customers! You need to get them to top up their accounts!"

Chen Ye took a sip of water and said, "If I really did that, you'd look down on me, wouldn't you?"

Kong Fei took a deep breath and shook her head helplessly.

Chen Ye was absolutely right!

Deep down, neither of them are like that.

However, in this dog-eat-dog society, relying solely on sincerity will likely make things very difficult.

"Forget it, let's not think about it anymore. You've had a long day, so let's go home early!" Chen Ye got up to change his clothes.

"Chen Ye!" Kong Fei called out to Chen Ye, pursing her lips as she said, "Can you do me a favor?"

"What kind of help?"

"Can I borrow it for one night?" Kong Fei said.

"Huh?" Chen Ye looked at Kong Fei's shy expression, his mind nearly going blank: "What do you mean by 'borrowing you for one night'?"

Kong Fei said, "I'm having a get-together with some of my girlfriends tonight, will you come with me?"

"What would I do at your girls' get-together?"

"They all brought their boyfriends!" Kong Fei said. "Women, you know, are all very vain!"

"Oh! I get it!" Chen Ye chuckled. "You want me to pretend to be your boyfriend, right? But that's a really old-fashioned method; it's always written like that in novels..."

"Why are you talking so much?" Kong Fei frowned. "If you're not going, fine, I'll find someone else..."

"Go!" Chen Ye said decisively, "We must go!"

"It's a deal then!" Kong Fei smiled. "You're my boyfriend tonight. Your name is Chen Ye, you're the product manager at the Shanghai Beauty Group, you earn a million a year, and you own a car and a house..."

Chen Ye: "... ..."

I knew you were vain, but I didn't know you were this vain!

Seeing Chen Ye in a daze, Kong Fei shouted, "Did you remember it?"

"Got it!" Chen Ye nodded. "I'm the manager, I own a car and a house..."

At 7:30 p.m., Chen Ye and Kong Fei arrived at the entrance of a restaurant.

Kong Fei wore a black jumpsuit, showing off her slender figure. Her hair was styled in a high bun, and she wore light makeup, making her look both charming and heroic.

Chen Ye followed behind Kong Fei, head hanging low: "I'm the manager, I have a car and a house..."

"Alright!" Kong Fei rolled her eyes at Chen Ye. "You've been nagging all the way here, can't you even remember these lines?"

"No, I just don't understand why you have to lie to people?" Chen Ye said, dissatisfied.

Is it really that shameful to say that he makes a living with his skills and his own hands?

Kong Fei's pretty face was stubborn. She took a deep breath and said, "I can't help it, I just don't want them to laugh at me!"

As they walked inside, Chen Ye asked Kong Fei a few questions and learned that these girls were Kong Fei's roommates from a vocational school.

They were always comparing themselves to each other when they were in school.

After entering society, the tendency to compare oneself with others intensifies.

Kong Fei heard that they were all doing well, each had a boyfriend, and all had stable jobs.

Fearing she would lose face at the party, she thought she should ask Chen Ye to save face.

They soon arrived at the private room, where six people—three men and three women—were seated. Everyone except Kong Fei was present.

"Oh, darling, we've all been waiting for you!"

A chubby girl came forward and pretended to take Kong Fei's arm.

Everyone else turned their gaze toward Kong Fei.

Especially the three men, who had looked listless just now, suddenly lit up when they saw Kong Fei, and one of them even subconsciously adjusted his glasses.

Kong Fei is impeccable in terms of both figure and appearance. To be more specific, she is somewhat similar to the beautiful actress Jin Chen.

In fact, she has a more innocent and pure temperament than Jin Chen.

A beauty like this would be the center of attention in any setting.

"Kong Fei, why don't you introduce him to us? Is this your boyfriend?" asked Lu Yao, the girl in the upper bunk.

"Yes, he's my boyfriend, Chen Ye!" Kong Fei said.

"Wow, what a handsome man and beautiful woman, a match made in heaven!" Lu Yao said insincerely, "Please sit down!"

Everyone sat down, and dishes were served one by one, and the conversation began.

"Hey bro, what do you do for a living?" Lu Yao's boyfriend, Tang Xiaozhou, asked Chen Ye first.

This is a question that other men also care about.

After all, such a beautiful girl must have a partner with an extraordinary background.

"I work as a physical therapist at Shanghai Beauty Salon!" Chen Ye smiled slightly.

Kong Fei was stunned when she heard this.

Didn't I tell you to be a product manager? Why are you telling the truth now?

"A physical therapist?" Tang Xiaozhou asked with a smile. "No offense intended, but doesn't a physical therapist give massages?"

"Yes!" Chen Ye said.

"Oh!" The other man nodded. "You're in the service industry. Our section chief recently said in a meeting that the service industry is about to see new opportunities. Brother, you've got a bright future! Hahahaha!"

What sounds like a compliment is actually a way of belittling the other person to elevate oneself.

"Old classmate, let me introduce you! This is my boyfriend, Liu Tao. He works at the local market supervision bureau."

The female classmate linked arms with the man who was speaking and introduced the man happily.

"Oh, hello Brother Liu!" Kong Fei said, blushing.

"Kong Fei, this is my boyfriend, Tang Xiaozhou. He started his own business and is preparing to take it public next year."

"Hello, Mr. Tang!" Kong Fei said.

"This is my boyfriend, Cui Liang, a financial securities manager in Shanghai. If you want to buy stocks or make financial investments, you can contact him. He has the absolute first-hand information."

"Hello, Manager Cui!" Kong Fei said.

"Oh, don't be so polite!" Cui Liang said, "Since you're younger than us, just call us 'brother'! Come on, let's have a drink!"

The men completely ignored Chen Ye, not even glancing at him again.

"Are all the dishes served?" Liu Tao asked at this moment.

"Everything's served!"

"Hey you, Chen Ye, close the door!" Liu Tao said, as if ordering a servant around.

Chen Ye frowned, but didn't say anything. He got up to close the door.

"Wait!" Tang Xiaozhou waved to Chen Ye, "Chen Ye, go out and ask the waiter for a bottle of water for me. I need to take my medicine, thank you!"

Chen Ye frowned, went outside, and called out, "Waiter, water!"

The other female students watched this scene with knowing smiles.

The meal lasted for more than three hours, and Kong Fei felt as if the days were dragging on forever.

Aside from showing off in front of Kong Fei, the men occasionally belittled Chen Ye.

Because they are jealous.

How could such a beautiful girl choose a massage therapist as her boyfriend?

Which of them isn't better than Chen Ye?

"Chen Ye, pour some for your girlfriend!" Liu Tao said, staring at Kong Fei's empty glass. "You work in the service industry, how come you can't even serve your own girlfriend properly?"

"Hahaha!" the others laughed.

Chen Ye ignored Liu Tao and said to Kong Fei, "We can't drink anymore!"

But Kong Fei seemed to be sulking with him, and poured herself a full glass and downed it in one gulp.

"Impressive drinking capacity, hahaha!" Liu Tao stood up, his belly protruding, and said, "Beautiful Kong Fei, I'll drink this one with you!"

"Don't get involved!" Chen Ye said coldly.

"What's it to you if I'm having a drink with your girlfriend?" Liu Tao slurred drunkenly.

"Of course it concerns me!" Chen Ye stared at Liu Tao, his sharp gaze seeming to pierce through him. "I'm afraid you'll drink yourself to death here!"

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Tao slammed his hand on the table.

"Look at yourself in the mirror. Your lips are all purplish-black from drinking, and you're still drinking? Are you trying to kill yourself?" Chen Ye said. "These are signs of a heart attack. If you keep drinking, the whole village will be in trouble at the banquet! Do you think that has anything to do with me?"
