Chapter 106: The First Step of the Long March
After meeting, the two found a quiet place to sit in a nearby shopping mall restaurant.
Xu Hui studied Jiang Yuan for a long moment before he curled his lips and said, "You haven't been home for two nights now. Things are going pretty well. Let's chat."
Jiang Yuan lowered her eyes slightly, "Everything is going according to plan."
Xu Hui took the bottle of red wine from the waiter and poured it into the glass while sighing, "I never thought you were really capable. You've been working for over a month and you've already managed to win over a man. He's Yin Zhengxian's only son, and his father's official rank is enough to crush anyone in the city. I've been in this circle for so long, and I've never met a sister with your ability."
Jiang Yuan: "We've only taken the first step in this long journey. How have you been these past few days?"
Xu Hui smiled faintly: "It's the same as always. In our line of work, it's not the same every day. It's just that the clients are different and they pay more or less."
Jiang Yuan was silent for a moment. "Sister Hui, I got my bonus this month, but I'm still short of 40,000. I'd like to borrow some from you first."
"No problem," Xu Hui answered readily, "I transferred some money home and have some left over. It's enough. Give me your card number and I'll transfer the money to you later."
"Thank you, Sister Hui."
Jiang Yuan knew that Xu Hui should be well-off, but she had also been in the same circle as Xu Hui. Women packaged themselves as commodities and personally delivered them to the hands of rich men, acting coquettishly, laughing and flattering them, acting as a masked doll without dignity and shame.
She witnessed Xu Hui being scolded by a drunk client who mistook him for his wife for more than an hour and then had beer poured on his face. Later she learned that this client had made his fortune with the help of his wife and was supposed to bring her footbath water at home.
Money is both easy and hard to earn.
Xu Hui picked up the glass and took a sip of wine. "Don't be polite with me. How have you been doing in this company recently? The bonus is quite large. I was short-sighted before. I didn't know that women can make a lot of money if they stand up straight. I have no hope. You just work hard."
Jiang Yuan thought that she had been removed from the M&A team, and next month's bonus would be wasted.
"What's wrong? Why don't you look happy?"
Jiang Yuan briefly told Xu Hui about her current situation.
Xu Hui put down the cup and said, "There's something I know you won't like to hear. I don't want to pour cold water on you, but I still want to remind you. I've been in this business for so many years and have seen many ambitious women, but I've never heard of anyone who can outplay those men. You have to face reality. A man's novelty will eventually fade. While he's in favor, you should take as much as you can. You don't want his money, but you're talking about feelings with him. Do you really think he can't see through your ultimate goal?"
Xu Hui always thought that Jiang Yuan went to great lengths to seduce Yin Dong because she wanted to marry into a wealthy family.
Jiang Yuan didn't explain, but Xu Hui was right. She thought that by refusing to be kept, she could prove that she was in true love. It was ridiculous.
"None of these men at the top of the pyramid are love-brained. How could they possibly be truly attracted to someone like us? Even if they were, it wouldn't be with someone like us. Which of these businessmen doesn't prioritize profit? Which one isn't scheming?"
The more Xu Hui spoke, the more uneasy Jiang Yuan became. She knew very well in her heart that Yin Dong's addiction to her was only because she happened to satisfy his physical needs, but how much weight did this addiction hold in his heart?
Jiang Yuan glanced at the time on her phone. At this time, Yin Dong was still on the plane. She suddenly worried that he might have forgotten her after so many days, or that he might suddenly become interested in another woman while he was abroad.
