Chapter 42 - Get Out

"You plan to go out and work on your own? How can that be possible? It seems like you haven't worked since graduation. You have no experience, what can you do?" Wen Xiangsheng thought of Shi Feiye working at a counter or in a supermarket, and suddenly felt a sense of relief when he met her. "Good jobs are hard to find. There are only jobs that don't require any technical skills. Can you bear it?"

Shi Feiye looked at her strangely: "What's so difficult about that? Even if I'm not very good, I'm still a graduate of a prestigious university. Although I've never worked before, I can learn. I have the basic qualities, such as English, and professional skills. I'm good at all of them."

Wen Xiangsheng then remembered that Shi Feiye seemed to have been admitted to a prestigious school by her own ability, and only then did she meet Qin Buzhu and Guan Liucheng. In comparison, she herself was not good at studying and had to rely on her family to send her abroad to gain experience. Her mood became worse again, and she refused to show weakness:

"Although academic qualifications are important, experience is equally important. If you're just starting out now, you'll definitely not be able to compete with recent graduates. It won't be easy."

"Just give it a try. Being able to get into a prestigious university and adapt to a simple job shouldn't be harder than the college entrance exam, right?" Shi Feiye seemed to suddenly remember something:

"Oh, look at me, why am I bringing this up in front of you? It's okay, Sister Wen, it's normal that you don't know. Don't worry about it. You don't need to work anyway. I really envy you. You can rely on your family at home, and you can rely on your husband when you get married. You don't have to do anything yourself, just eat and wait for death. It's so happy."

In other words, a useless person who can't do anything and can only rely on others? Wen Xiangsheng tried hard to control his expression so that it wouldn't twist, thinking bitterly in his heart, "I can't speak so well, no wonder my life is so bad."

Shi Feiye felt very happy in her heart. These days, it is no longer like the past few years when women would be spoiled by men without having to do anything. Nowadays, men from wealthy families are more calculating than women. If a woman has no ability, even if she marries someone with the help of her family background, she will not be valued by her husband. Look at those marginalized wives and daughters, isn't it the same?

If a daughter is a father, some fathers can still tolerate it. However, once she becomes someone's wife and lacks the ability to control herself, in all likelihood, she will be replaced by another woman in public, leaving him with only the title of "wife of someone," becoming a laughing stock among the wealthy.

This was definitely not the life Wen Xiangsheng had hoped for. With such high aspirations, how could she possibly endure this? But she was so annoying. From the beginning until now, she hadn't said a single word in a nice way. And Shi Feiye had to goad her. Did she think she was someone to be bullied?

The two of them, back and forth, knew each other well, but they both maintained a surface of politeness, occasionally prodding each other. The difference was that Wen Xiangsheng provoked Shi Feiye in places that didn't hurt her, while Shi Feiye provoked her in places that were her sore spots.

When it was time to say goodbye, Shi Feiye was filled with joy, while Wen Xiangsheng was almost hurt from holding back his emotions.

Before leaving, Shi Feiye reminded Wen Xiangsheng to pay. Thinking of asking Shi Feiye out again next time to show off his superiority and get information, Wen Xiangsheng nodded to indicate that he understood. Then, hesitantly, he transferred 100,000 yuan to Shi Feiye. Shi Feiye took the money and went back happily.
