Sister Liu had once been a flight attendant, marrying her boss at the prime of her youth. However, as her husband's career flourished, her beauty began to fade. Zhou Lili, vibrant and youthful, joined Yunding and quickly became the star of the Performance Department. Men, being creatures of desire, soon turned their professional relationship with the boss into an affair.
When Sister Liu found out, she nearly lost her breath in shock. But times had changed; years of living as a wealthy housewife had dulled Sister Liu's once-flamboyant spirit. As the company thrived, the boss's wife felt increasingly insecure.
For years, Sister Liu and her husband shared a silent understanding, each holding back their true feelings. To keep an eye on him, she arranged for her cousin old Zeng to join the company as a spy. The boss became more cautious, intending to distance himself from Zhou Lili, but she felt wronged and stubbornly demanded terms that infuriated him: shares, a position, salary...
Even more outrageous was that old Zeng, a rather greasy character himself, took advantage of Zhou Lili's waning favor with the boss and quietly offered her "care and warmth." Before long, he found himself entangled with Zhou Lili!
My arrival disrupted the existing dynamics. Unbeknownst to me, it ignited jealousy in Zhou Lili; I became the brightest star in the company, overshadowing her brilliance. Most importantly, I replaced her right-hand woman, Liu Juanjuan. Zhou Lili sensed that I could threaten her standing within the company.
She confided in old Zeng about her worries, eliciting his sympathy. Together they plotted not only to spread rumors about me and the boss but also to stir trouble with his wife.
old Zeng leaving was what the boss wanted most; Zhou Lili leaving was something both the boss and his wife would welcome. The boss needed to cut losses quickly; his wife wanted to eliminate a potential threat. Moreover, having her husband and cousin at odds over one woman would not bode well for anyone involved.
After listening to half-drunken ramblings from the boss's wife, I had an epiphany. The world was far more complex than I had imagined!
"Hey sis, aren't you worried I might actually get involved with the boss?" I teased.
"You’re smart and independent; you wouldn’t tie yourself to a married man!" she replied confidently.
We clinked our glasses together in camaraderie.
"By the way, do you have a handsome boyfriend?"
"Yeah! How do you know everything?" I asked in surprise.
"Is he treating you well like before?" she probed further, catching me off guard. "Good men are rare; keep your eyes open!"
My first love remained the softest part of my heart.
We were high school classmates, but while I got into the Provincial Art School, he went south to work in a factory after graduation. My dad is an old medicine jar, and my mom is an ordinary rural woman. The tuition for art school was already expensive, and he earned 5,800 yuan a month—part of which he sent home and part of which he used to support me.
Now that my situation has improved, I am determined to repay him. I plan to buy a house soon and discuss marriage with him. After drinking for a long time and chatting for ages, I only parted ways with Sister Liu late at night.
When I returned to the dormitory, Xiao Li, who was staying with me, had already fallen asleep. That girl not only left the light on but also had her phone screen lit up next to her pillow. Experts say that this device emits strong radiation, and it’s essential to keep it away from your head while sleeping.
As I reached for her phone to move it aside, I noticed a WeChat message coming in from a contact that looked so familiar. Without thinking, I unlocked Xiao Li's phone using her face recognition.
A person with the nickname "Wandering Moon" sent a message: "Is everything you said true?"
Scrolling up, I found a lengthy message from Jiang Xiaoli: "Dear, I am the one who loves you the most! Qiuying's affair with the boss is well-known in the company. Recently, as the storm has calmed down, it's because the boss's wife doesn't want their scandal to affect the company's development and has been trying to suppress it... They share a room when they go on business trips!
One night when I returned to the office to get my keys, I saw the light on in the boss's office. Thinking someone had forgotten to turn it off, I went over to check and caught them naked on the sofa..."
"Wandering Moon" messaged again: "That bitch! When I went back home recently, I heard people talking about it too... Thank you for telling me this. She hurt me; I can't just let it slide! I'm going to wear the clothes she bought me, use the phone she bought me, wear the watch she bought me, and drive the car she bought me while asking you for your hand in marriage right in front of her!"
I felt as if struck by lightning. Looking at the profile picture and nickname, I confirmed that "Wandering Moon" was my boyfriend saved in my phone as "Hubby"!
—Growing up means understanding truths that once went unheard and eventually sharing them with others as someone who has been through it all. Everyone has their own walls to hit; those who can grasp these truths are often left shattered. Perhaps this young age of mine is about to embark on another "war!" (The End)
