"Chu Yu, do you still remember me?" a shop assistant called out.
Chu Yu was stunned for a moment before recognizing her. This was Chen Baifu's daughter, Chen Shuangyu, the love-struck girl who vowed to wait for her boyfriend who was in jail to come out.
Chen Shuangyu came to Beijing after the Chinese New Year. Chu Yu was busy with the opening of Yorkham and didn't have time to entertain her, so he asked Fang Fang to help her arrange accommodation, bought her some daily necessities, and treated her and other employees to Peking duck in Beijing.
Chu Yu paid for it all.
She hadn't seen Chen Shuangyu for several months.
Chen Shuangyu has changed a lot. During the Spring Festival, she dressed in a dowdy style and looked rather silly.
After several months of training, Chen Shuangyu's clothes and appearance are more fashionable than before. She has permed her hair, applied lipstick, and looks much more energetic.
"You've changed so much! You're like a modern woman. I almost didn't recognize you," Chu Yu exclaimed.
Fang Fang teased from the side, "How can she not be fashionable? Two men have been pursuing her this month."
"Really? Shuangyu has such good luck with men?"
Isn't Chen Shuangyu love-struck? Judging from her flushed cheeks and hesitant expression, she seems genuinely smitten.
That's why I say girls should go to big cities to explore, broaden their horizons, see the world, understand its diversity, and figure out what they really want.
“Isn’t that right?” Fang Fang winked. “One of them is a worker at a local state-owned enterprise. He has two older sisters, and both his parents have jobs. His family owns a house, which is not big, only 50 square meters, but it’s a house within the city limits, so it’s convenient to go anywhere. It’s just that his education level is a bit low. He graduated from high school and didn’t attend a junior college.”
"What about the other one?"
Fang Fang winked at Chen Shuangyu and smiled:
"The other one is also a local. He is an orphan and was raised by his aunt and uncle. His parents left him a self-built house, and he took over his father's job. His work unit also allocated him a small apartment. He is tall and good-looking, and graduated from junior college. The only problem is that he has difficulty speaking and stutters a bit."
Chen Shuangyu is 22 years old this year and has only dated one boyfriend.
That man was trash. He made her support him every day. Chen Shuangyu bought him clothes and shoes, the cigarettes he smoked, the garlic he ate, and even the money he spent on condoms.
Even so, the man's grandmother still complained that she wasn't virtuous enough.
After the man was arrested and imprisoned, his grandmother came to find Chen Shuangyu, pointed her finger at Chen Shuangyu and cursed her as a jinx, demanding that her family use their connections to get the man out.
Chen Shuangyu was young and naive, and she was determined to marry her first love. She felt that it was shameful for a woman to be in a relationship but not get married.
I only realized after coming to Beijing that dating without marriage is nothing. Premarital sex, pregnancy, and childbirth are not uncommon.
Girls from big cities are more open-minded, and with the persuasion of Fang Fang and her colleagues, Chen Shuangyu gradually wavered.
Mandarin's employees can all pursue further education at public expense. Chen Shuangyu was selected by Fang Fang to attend night school because of her outstanding sales performance.
She met these two men at night school.
With these two men pursuing her, Chen Shuangyu was suddenly showered with attention and overwhelmed by happiness. She was no longer so attached to her previous boyfriends.
Seeing that she was truly interested, Chu Yu felt that she could consider it.
Both Chen Baifu and Ge Lanzhi have formal employment. Chen Shuangyu's family's financial situation is good in Deyang, but it wouldn't be considered good in Beijing.
She doesn't have much education. If she could marry a local from Beijing and stay in Beijing to develop her career, it would be better than going back to Deyang and marrying a hoodlum.
After getting married, she had no other thoughts. Getting married and having children would completely sever her ties with the hoodlums, which was exactly what Ge Lanzhi hoped for.
