Chapter 8, that man is Tong Shao, and it is said that every woman loves him
She recalled that when she first graduated and arrived in Shanghai, the first place she went after getting off the train was the Huangpu River. She shouted loudly at the Huangpu River: Shanghai! Here I come
Duo Duo, with her enchanting crimson-tipped fingers, flicked a magazine, her face flushed like she was intoxicated. She wrapped her arm around her neck and pointed at a man on the opposite sofa, who was also holding a magazine, saying: "Do you see that man in the white shirt and black trousers? He is Tong Shao, incredibly wealthy. Don't be fooled by the fact that he sometimes drives a small car; he has grown tired of his Bentley and just plays around with a small car. He could even dismantle a Ferrari and use the parts to assemble a small car.
Following Duoduo's gaze, she saw a woman dressed in a black leather skirt and stockings, emboldened by the effects of alcohol, approaching him with a drink in hand. However, she missed her target as he stood up abruptly, discarded the magazine in his hand, and elegantly turned to leave. His tall and slender figure captured the attention of every woman present with each of his movements.
Duoduo laughed lightly and said in her ear: "Of course, I am no exception either, but I am self-aware. Tong Shao doesn't like my type at all. To provoke him would be equivalent to seeking my own discomfort. It is better to just be ordinary friends and greet each other. Look at that woman; she belongs to the type that is completely unaware of her own limitations."
It was a travel magazine. She turned to a page featuring a scenic image of a waterfall in California, so beautiful, under the sunlight, the waterfall displayed colors akin to fire. She thought of her childhood, when she followed her father out to sea, and at sunset, the surface of the ocean reflected such colors, a blend of half sea and half flame, just like in a picture book.
It is evident how proud he is. She recalled the time she rode in his car, his sparse speech, and the simplicity of their dialogue, consisting of just a few words: "No problem," "Get in," "Get out." It truly felt arrogant.
Duoduo urged her to take the initiative to approach him, but she stubbornly refused. With so many beautiful women rushing forward, she remained unmoved, preferring instead to indulge in sweet literature. She continued to select adorable little desserts at the dining table
Eighty thousand yuan, just to come and have some dim sum
Duoduo further persuaded her, saying that today's matchmaking event was primarily organized for Young Master Tong. If she could get close to Young Master Tong, it would mean endless wealth and honor, rendering Feng Bowen insignificant in comparison.
It was also in the night scene of the Huangpu River that she met Feng Bowen. She wondered what her circumstances would have been like if it were not for Feng Bowen. Perhaps she would have been working as a white-collar lawyer in a high-rise office building, marrying and having children with a man who was also an office worker, living the simplest of lives, striving to establish a home in Shanghai.
She stared blankly at the magazine
She listened, then took another look; wasn't he the man who had left her on the highway? If it weren't for the traffic police taking her back to the city, she would surely still be lost on the highway. She had foolishly expressed her gratitude to him, but thinking back, she felt no fondness for him and said: "Just a spendthrift, merely burning money."
"What about you?" She closed the magazine and retorted to Duo Duo
Duoduo helped her to stand up, adjusted her long skirt and the strands of hair on her forehead, and said: "Don't think that Tong Shao is just a playboy; the family business has all been built up by him. After studying in the United States for two years, he returned and took over the company, making it larger and larger. I can say that all the women around him love him"
