Chapter 19: Comparing People to Others Can Make You Frustrated
Late at night, in a first-floor apartment in a prime location in Beijing.
Chi Yu leaned back on the sofa, slightly tipsy. He had just returned from a social gathering with some old men.
Standing on his left was a handsome young man, the assistant Xia Shuran met that day, A Ming.
He handed a document to Chi Yu.
"This is Xia Shuran's entire life history. Back in Italy, I didn't have enough connections, so I couldn't find her with just the name Chiara. Now that I'm in China, it's much easier."
Chi Yu's thoughts slowed down a bit. He nodded and said, "Well, go ahead. I can't see the words clearly now."
Ah Ming said, "Xia Shuran was born in Haicheng. She lived in a tube-shaped building with her parents during her childhood. After elementary school, she moved to a wealthy villa area."
"Her father started out in pharmaceutical sales. At the peak of his career, his company had hundreds of millions of dollars in capital."
"In the past two years, her company has not held any public bidding. I checked and found out that the company is now facing the risk of delisting and is on the verge of bankruptcy."
Chi Yu nodded slightly to show that he was listening.
But Ah Ming wanted to read about Xia Shuran's father's rise to wealth, so Chi Yu shook his head and said, "I don't want to hear that. I want to hear about her in person. Has she ever been in a relationship? If so, what does the guy look like? What's his type?"
Chi Yu was drunk, his eyes were blank, "I want to know what she likes, so I can learn how to make it."
Ah Ming responded and understood what he meant.
"Ayu, although Xia Shuran has no romantic experience, the only time was with you in Italy..."
"Xia Shuran's daily activities are simple. She goes to the beauty salon frequently, and her other hobbies are not very obvious."
"She studied design in Italy and did very well. The spatial model she helped design won an international award."
…
Chi Yu listened carefully and said, "Okay, you can go."
When Ah Ming turned to leave, he heard him say,
"What's a good gift to give a girl on a first date?"
"Uh..." Ah Ming is also a workaholic, rarely falls in love, and has no experience in this area.
The main thing is that if he doesn't work hard, he won't be able to keep up with Chi Yu's pace.
He is Chi Yu's direct descendant, and now is the critical time for Chi Yu to take over the family.
He was so busy that he sometimes even forgot to eat, but during this time his boss fell in love.
Ah Ming thought hard and finally squeezed out a sentence, "Necklace?"
Chi Yu thought about it and felt that it was feasible.
Ah Ming left, and when he closed the door, he saw Chi Yu leaning tiredly on the sofa.
Hey, it’s not easy for Chi Yu to work so hard and still have to chase girls.
There has been unrest within the group recently, and various collateral relatives have begun to stir.
Chi Yu is afraid that he will be even more tired after dealing with them during this period of time.
It was already noon and no one in the dormitory was up.
Xia Shuran was the first one to get up
She took out facial cleanser and a series of lotions and essences from her bag and placed them on the sink in the dormitory bathroom.
I was just making bubbles from the facial cleanser and applying it to my face when I heard the door open behind me.
It was Chen Feifei who got up.
She said to Xia Shuran somewhat awkwardly, "Good morning."
Xia Shuran responded simply and continued washing her face.
Chen Feifei secretly observed her while brushing her teeth.
Chen Feifei glanced at Xia Shuran's expensive skin care products and was surprised.
Chen Feifei hid in bed at night and looked up the dress Xia Shuran wore yesterday on the Internet.
The price of that skirt on the official website is several thousand euros, which is over 20,000 yuan in RMB.
Oh my god, Chen Feifei’s phone almost hit her face at that time.
Now it seems that this woman must have a rich family.
Alas, I can’t envy you enough. Comparing yourself with others will only make you angry.
Chen Feifei's eyes were red and she lamented angrily about the injustice in the world.
After Xia Shuran finished cleaning up, she turned around and saw Chen Feifei with a tragic look on her face.
She didn't want to pay attention to it, but looking at Chen Feifei's expression, she thought she might jump off the building in the next second.
Xia Shuran asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Chen Feifei suppressed her sobs and said, "Xia Shuran, you won't say bad things about me now that you're with Chi Yu. I hope you're not that petty."
Xia Shuran: “…” Crazy.
Xia Shuran turned around and wanted to leave, but Chen Feifei said again,
"By the way, I'd like to remind you that it's best not to leave these things in public areas. I told you in advance, so if you lose them, don't blame me."
Xia Shuran looked back at the pile of skin care products. These were all bought in Italy. She definitely couldn't afford them now.
Her roommate in Italy also came from a well-off family, and at that time, cosmetics and skincare products were mixed together without causing any problems.
But now…
After thinking about it, Xia Shuran felt that what Chen Feifei said made sense.
It’s not that I don’t trust my roommates, but if they get lost it will only cause more trouble and might even lead to a crisis of trust.
Xia Shuran collected them all at once and thanked Chen Feifei.
Afterwards, Chen Feifei was about to go out and mentioned that she was going to be a volunteer for the freshman military training.
In fact, her purpose was to see if there were any "high-quality stocks" among this class of freshmen, and she wanted to act preemptively.
Xia Shuran was standing by the window with a facial mask on, looking at the branches of the green trees outside the window boredly. Then she saw Chen Feifei arriving downstairs.
She had a big smile on her face, but I didn't know what was so happy about being a volunteer under the scorching sun.
