Chapter 5 — Overcoming Difficulties Together

18I have not yet contacted Thuong Tai Ngon to explain this misunderstanding. Anyway, a good ex should be like dead, never to appear again. Besides, even if he is a little sad now, with Chu Cam's comfort, he will soon get over it. They were going to get married after all. Shanghai is a very tolerant city. Everyone has their own story, but everyone still lives in a dignified way, even when the sky is about to fall, they will drink afternoon tea first. And the high cost of living here also makes me work harder on each of my work projects. In less than two years, I have accumulated a lot of clients in the industry. But work is still too tiring. In order to retire soon, I am always looking for new opportunities in this field. Thanks to a customer named Lan Y, this opportunity came not too late. He is a man, and I am a woman. We hadn't known each other long when I realized the thing we both had in common was that we both liked men. Moreover, they are beautiful men. So, after meeting each other, we started looking for beautiful young men every day. Of course, not for other reasons, but for work. Our advertising industry, frankly speaking, attracts money from big brands, making audiences watch the ads that brands invest in. Now in the Internet age, traditional media is gradually fading away, while self-media channels are emerging like mushrooms after the rain. As long as they have their own personality, anyone can become famous online. We sign contracts with potential people, plan to develop their personal brands, then connect them with brands, extracting a percentage of profits from there. Maybe it's because my eyesight is good. The people I signed later were all famous, their earning ability was very strong, and everyone was a "race leader". Even though I admit I didn't try very hard, thanks to them, in just a few years, the company grew from a small scale of just over ten people to two or three hundred employees. At the same time, our company's market valuation also reached nearly 20 billion. This means, I am financially free.19At first, I still felt this was unreal. But as the company grew stronger, more and more men surrounded me. For example, someone followed me to my hotel room, wearing only a thin bathrobe with no underwear underneath. Or there was someone under the negotiating table, secretly rubbing their feet against me meaningfully. Or countless accidental meetings, but in fact they were full of plans. People often say that when men reach a certain position of power, many women voluntarily rush into their hearts. In fact, so are women. Someone even found out about my hobbies, especially addressed to a guy who had just graduated from college. His name is Tiet Da, it is said that he is also a "male god" elected from many affiliated universities. At first I had no intention, but when he raised his head, he really looked like Thuong Tai Ngon in high school. As if possessed by a ghost, I held him back. Stay as my assistant. At that moment, I seemed to understand Thuong Tai Ngon's feelings when he first met me. Whenever I go out, I often take Tiet Da with me to drive for me. One day, Tiet Da asked me if I had offended anyone. He said recently a black car often follows me from afar. When arriving at the gate of the apartment complex, Tiet Da suddenly said: "Boss, let me come to your house to protect you." I was about to answer when I suddenly heard a strange noise from behind the flower bed not far away. We both turned around, only to see a black cat jumping out of the flower bed. "It's okay." I said.When entering

elevator, I realized that the apartment opposite, which had been vacant for some time, had been renovated. There were red wedding stickers on the door. Perhaps the new neighbors are a newlywed couple. Before going to sleep, a scene flashed through my mind. It was a long time ago, when Thuong Tai Ngon and I first welcomed the New Year in a cheap rented house. He finished wrapping the banh cuc, then sat alone by the window, quietly cutting a sticker with the word "Phuc". "Tet still has to have some rituals." Thuong Tai Ngon turned around, looked at me and said. The old house, red stickers, the word Phuc stuck on the glass window, looked like a night filled with joy. And I never thought that the person in that memory would appear in front of me the next day.20Lan Y was the one who made the connection. He actually mentioned it a few times, saying there was an investor who wanted to join us. I was free the next day, so I went to meet him. The investor sat near the window in the coffee shop, wearing a black jacket, wearing a string of beads on his wrist, looking from afar his appearance was very outstanding. I felt a slight stir in my heart and was about to move forward when he turned around. Oh, it's Thuong Tai Ngon. Why Thuong Tai Ngon?! I immediately reflexively turned around to leave. "Giang Chu," Thuong Tai Ngon calmly called me back, "What do you want to drink?" When I sat down opposite him, I realized that after a few years of separation, Thuong Tai Ngon had lost a lot of weight. "Are you sick?" I asked, my eyes stopped on his wrist, "Where did you buy this necklace? It looks beautiful..." Thuong Tai Ngon said nothing, his eyes were half-closed, the corners of his eyes were still slightly red. "Master gave it to me." I was a bit surprised, Thuong Tai Ngon continued to say: "You have been a monk at the temple for two years." He looked up at me, his voice so calm that it gave people goosebumps: "Do you know why?" How do I know? Thuong Tai Ngon turned to look out the window again and said: "I don't want to know either." He didn't say anything more, just started discussing cooperation. Before leaving, Thuong Tai Ngon said: "I'll take you home." Tiet Da walked in and waved at me from afar. "No need," I said, "Someone has come to pick you up." Tiet Da walked to the table and smiled at Thuong Tai Ngon: "Thank you, but my girlfriend, I can take her home myself." Thuong Tai Ngon sat still, as if he had turned into a statue. While sitting in the car, Tiet Da asked: "Who is that person?" "My ex-lover." I unconsciously lit a cigarette. Tiet Da almost pulled the steering wheel off: "Ah, ex-lover? Did he misunderstand our relationship?" I shook my head, "Let it go." It was just a chance meeting, I think
