The rain outside the window was still falling, and what started as a drizzle gradually turned into a downpour. The rain obstructed the view, and horns on the road kept blaring.
It was nearing evening, and it was rush hour. Needless to say, the road back to the North District from the East District would be very congested.
"Stay tonight, an old friend of yours wishes to see you."
Hu Ling looked out the window and said calmly.
"Old friend?"
...
At 7 p.m., the technicians on the fifth floor arrived for work on time. When they came to the changing room, they saw that Chen Zhe was there, and they all exclaimed.
Mo Xiaohong and Wang Qianqian were particularly excited, but knowing that the other liked Chen Zhe, they didn't dare to show too much enthusiasm for him in front of so many people.
The two had a good relationship, and if someone were to come between them, it would affect them. Neither of them had the courage to be honest with the other.
After all, if they confessed, they would become the one who stole their best friend's man, and neither of them wanted to be the bad guy.
"Chen Zhe, why are you wearing a technician's uniform? What? Are you back at work?"
"Yeah, Chen Zhe, didn't you go to the North District as a manager? Why did you come back?"
"Could it be that he couldn't stay there any longer and was sent back by Sister Hu? Hahaha!"
"Or are the girls over there not as pretty as us, and you miss us too much?"
The colleagues burst into laughter, teasing each other relentlessly.
Chen Zhe smiled and said seriously, "Their beauty certainly can't compare to that of you ladies, and even their temperament is far inferior!"
These words made the girls laugh even harder.
"You're older than me, why are you calling me 'sister'? You're making me sound so old!"
"Hahaha!!!"
Even though they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Chen Zhe could still easily join their conversations. For him, chatting with women was as easy as eating and breathing. If we're talking about beauty, Wu Yuanyuan alone was enough for them to compare to, and Xiao Dingdong was also quite good, but he would never say that. He just needed to remember one truth.
[Always say what they want to hear. Don't argue, don't try to prove yourself right. Just remember, the ultimate goal is to win their favor, not to become the man who knows the whole truth.]
He didn't quite understand this principle before, and when he saw some feminist or gold digger making statements, he liked to go up and refute them.
In the end, he would always be attacked by some women.
He also particularly looked down on men who spoke up for women, believing that they were just licking women's shoes and had no backbone at all.
Now he understands that this is all great wisdom.
When someone feels that another person has exceptional emotional intelligence, it must be because that person's level of understanding completely surpasses their own.
Those men who speak up for women may not think that way in their hearts, but they say it anyway, and they have already understood the principle of pleasing their prey.
Therefore, their level of understanding is completely different from that of straight men who argue with women.
Straight men are even less adept than simps.
Why do I say that?
Straight men are usually more rational and care a lot about right and wrong; they want to see women admit their mistakes.
But will a woman admit her mistake?
According to Chen Zhe's experience, such cases are extremely rare, or even nonexistent.
While simps may lack principles, you'll often see that a less-than-ideal-looking simp might change girlfriends every now and then, while straight men who claim to be somewhat handsome can only support themselves through handicrafts.
Why is that?
As a seasoned sycophant, Chen Zhe's mentality has changed somewhat compared to before, and he now has some say in the matter.
To be honest, given his circumstances back then—his family was poor, his salary wasn't high, and although he was fairly handsome, his good looks weren't particularly striking. After all, he was wearing sneakers that cost less than a hundred yuan, so it was hard for him to look handsome. If he hadn't listened to Xu Weiwei and kept giving to her, it would have been very difficult for him to sleep with a woman like Xu Weiwei.
He'll likely end up like his roommate, dating a girl who's average-looking, wears glasses, and has acne. And he can't guarantee that this so-called normal girlfriend won't betray him later.
Of course, these heartfelt words come from my current self looking back at my past self. After all, back then, I didn't think that much; I was just head over heels in love.
A simp has to pay a huge price to sleep with a beautiful goddess, and Chen Zhe doesn't want to pay that price anymore.
...
When Chen Zhe stood in room number three again, wearing his technician uniform, memories flooded his mind, recalling every little thing he had shared with Lin Meiyu.
Because of Lin Meiyu, he had the opportunity to enter Linglong Club and become a man who could sleep with a beauty like Mo Xiaohong without paying any price. Because of this woman, his life path was changed. If it weren't for her, he might have gone bankrupt when he opened the massage parlor with Wang De.
Thinking about everything that had happened before, Chen Zhe's heart suddenly started racing. Hu Ling told him to come and meet an acquaintance.
Could this acquaintance be...?
Chen Zhe swallowed hard, his palms sweating. He was nervous, afraid that if he opened the door, the person inside wouldn't be Lin Meiyu.
Not the woman who changed her life.
Chen Zhe took a deep breath, suppressing his nervousness, and then opened the door.
"Hello, guest, I am technician number nine, it's a pleasure to serve you..."
Facing him was a woman's back. She had a very beautiful figure and wore fashionable and elegant clothes. Even before she turned around, Chen Zhe could feel her elegant demeanor. This woman looked so beautiful. However, Chen Zhe was still somewhat disappointed because this woman had shoulder-length short hair, which was completely different from the Lin Meiyu he remembered.
But after the woman turned around, he was surprised again.
"Sister Lin!!! Is it really you???"
Chen Zhe's voice was a mixture of shock and joy; he hadn't expected to meet Lin Meiyu again.
Lin Meiyu looked at Chen Zhe with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face.
Long time no see, how are you?
