Wang Meijing went out to buy toothpaste and a toothbrush.
Before Du Lei could even react in confusion, he hurriedly called Wang Peng: "Brother Peng, I've encountered something strange."
As he closed the door, he recounted how Wang Meijing had pursued him.
After hearing this, Wang Peng couldn't help but laugh: "What's so strange about that? With your status, there are plenty of girls chasing after you."
Du Lei was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly said, "What's my status? Aren't I just the president of our supermarket?"
“That’s enough, buddy,” Wang Peng said. “If you don’t believe me, just put up a personal ad in the newspaper, and I guarantee your phone will be ringing off the hook.”
Du Lei scratched his head, sat on the edge of the bed, and examined his own identity.
The shareholders of Brothers Supermarket own 5% of the shares and receive annual dividends of over 150,000 yuan.
As the company's chief executive officer, he is the third most powerful figure after Wang Peng and Li Mingzhu. He wields all power when Wang Peng and his wife are not present.
There's also an annual salary of 50,000 yuan. Keep in mind, the average salary in the provincial capital has only risen to 600 yuan.
Before he knew it, Du Lei realized he was a highly eligible bachelor.
He used to think that Dong Shishi was a college student and that he was not good enough for her, but now he feels that Dong Shishi is not good enough for him.
"Brother Peng, do you think Feng Daliang and Wang Meijing have any ulterior motives?" Wang Peng asked softly.
“Definitely. Feng Daliang wants a marriage alliance, and Wang Meijing is one of them,” Wang Peng said. “I think she’s alright; at least she’s clear-headed.”
"Is she alright?" Du Lei asked doubtfully. "She's made it clear. She's only after my money and wants to live a life of comfort for the rest of her days."
“Brother Lei, 99% of marriages are like this. It’s rare that people can talk about it so openly,” Wang Peng said with a smile.
Du Lei stood there, stunned.
After a long while, he shook his head: "Brother Peng, I still envy you and your wife. You were also very poor back then, but she dated you and eventually married you and had children..."
"Don't drag me into this. My situation with Mingzhu is special," Wang Peng said with a smile. "Brother Lei, I think you could try dating Wang Meijing. You might not know, but she's a college student at the provincial industrial college."
Du Lei had heard of the Industrial College. Although it was a second-tier university and its degree was not as prestigious as that of universities in the provincial capital, it was still a legitimate university for students.
Wang Peng said, "You'll have a different experience if you date her. At the very least, she won't make you suffer. You can give it a try."
Du Lei was a little dazed and plopped down on the bed. He wanted to end the call and think it over, but he didn't want to hang up right now.
After a half-minute silence, he gave a wry smile: "Brother Peng, I need to think carefully about what you said."
Wang Peng said, "Okay. If you have any questions, feel free to call me anytime."
"Okay." Du Lei hung up the phone and continued charging it. He lay on the big bed, staring at the ceiling.
In this world, the only person he can completely trust is Wang Peng.
The phone rang again, and Du Lei answered the call: "Hello, this is Du Lei."
"Lei Zi, this is Dong Shishi. Where are you?" Dong Shishi's voice came from the phone.
Du Lei was stunned for a moment, and was about to say where he was when Dong Shishi said, "I just went to your house, but you weren't home."
"Go to my house? How did you know..." He suddenly remembered that Dong Shishi had a key to his house.
When Dong Shishi broke up with him, he didn't ask for the key to his house or change the locks.
Dong Shishi said, "The house is such a mess, I hired two cleaners, and they're cleaning right now. Listen..."
Suddenly, the sound of a vacuum cleaner came through the phone.
“Ha…” Du Lei felt a surge of anger.
He believes that since the two are no longer in a romantic relationship, Dong Shishi should not enter his home without his permission.
What's even more outrageous is that she also paid two cleaners. Although the house was a bit messy, it wasn't dirty.
Dong Shishi laughed and said, "Lei Zi, I remember the curtains were pink, why did you change them to yellow?"
Du Lei gritted his teeth: "Guess why I changed the curtains to yellow?"
Just then, there was a knock at the door, and Du Lei got up to open it. Wang Meijing was carrying a basket of steamed buns and new toothpaste and toothbrush.
Seeing that Du Lei was on the phone, she quietly walked to the bedside, put the steamed buns and toothbrush on the table, and tried not to make a sound.
Dong Shishi said on the phone, "Lei Zi, I can't guess why you changed to yellow curtains?"
Du Lei felt a pang of pain in his heart and said in a deep voice, "Because I like yellow. I remember telling you that many times."
“Yellow curtains don’t look good,” Dong Shishi said with a smile. “Let’s change them to pink ones; pink is romantic.”
Du Lei smiled wryly, sat on the bed, and sat next to Wang Meijing.
"Lei Zi, where are you?" Dong Shishi asked.
“I got drunk with Brother Peng yesterday, so I didn’t go home and spent the night at Xinglan Hotel,” Du Lei said.
"Xinglan?" Dong Shishi raised her voice, "What were you doing there? Don't you know they offer special services there? Did you call for any?"
Du Lei was startled by her shout and instinctively wanted to explain. Two seconds later, anger rose within him again.
He said in a deep voice, "Dong Shishi, I've ordered service."
"Du Lei, how could you do this? You promised to give me a chance, how could you go out and fool around like that..."
"That's enough!" Du Lei snapped. "What do you mean by 'hanging around'? Are you trying to say that Brother Peng brought me out to hang around?"
"Lei Zi, why are you yelling at me? I didn't mean that!" Dong Shishi also subconsciously raised her voice.
Du Lei felt another pang of pain in his heart. Dong Shishi was still the same as before; she would throw a tantrum and raise her voice at the slightest thing.
They should try dating now. If they get back together, she'll still be the same emotionally unstable Dong Shishi from before.
Thinking of this, Du Lei said in a deep voice, "Dong Shishi, I came to Xinglan Hotel yesterday, actually for a blind date. Boss Feng introduced his niece to me."
"Her name is Wang Meijing. She's young and beautiful, and also a college student. I thought it was okay, so I started dating her."
"So from this moment on, we have nothing to do with each other anymore. Take your cleaning lady and leave my house immediately."
After finishing his sentence in one breath, Du Lei gave a cold smile and put his arm around Wang Meijing's shoulder.
A furious roar came from the phone: "Du Lei, what did you say? Say it again!"
The hysterical voice startled Du Lei and ignited his anger.
At this moment, he was completely disappointed in Dong Shishi, so he handed the phone to Wang Meijing: "You tell her."
Wang Meijing put the phone to her ear and said with a smile, "Sister Shishi, I'm Du Lei's girlfriend, my name is Wang Meijing."
Du Lei's roar immediately came through the phone.
Wang Meijing gently raised the corners of her mouth and listened quietly to Dong Shishi's insults.
After a long while, she said, "Thank you for treating this as abandoning Brother Lei. Dong Shishi, leave my boyfriend's house immediately, or I will call the police."
