    "Evergreen" said, "Women who are materialistic are not suitable for you. Nowadays, how many women are not materialistic? It's really children from the mountains who lack experience."

    Mowenjie said: Are you materialistic?

    An Yixuan said: Though I can't be called a materialistic woman, we still need to cover the expenses of daily life! We can't just depend on men for the wind from the north and west, can we!

    Mowenjie said: It seems that people's hearts have changed. In the past, whether rich or poor, people could still live. But now in this society, without money, people go their separate ways. Since everyone believes that Chinese culture has been men supporting women for thousands of years, why can't they endure hardships together? According to the new era's women, why can't women support men? No matter how you look at it, women always place themselves in an exalted position to measure themselves. Why do couples need men to buy houses and cars and give dowries?

    An Yixuan said: I didn't realize you're still a hot-headed person.

    Mowenjie said: I'm not a hot-headed young man, and I'm not someone who can't afford houses or cars. I'm just expressing a sentiment about the changing nature of people's hearts.

    An Yixuan said: Mowenjie, you always say that you can afford a villa, but do you know the prices of villas in the new city?

    Mowenjie said: I don't know!

    An Yixuan said: The average villa costs around 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per square meter, while high-end villa areas can go up to 60,000 to 70,000 yuan per square meter. Luxury villas might be several hundred thousand yuan per square meter, and the smallest villas are at least 300 square meters.

    Mowenjie said: That's not too expensive, isn't it? Luxury villas are only a few million yuan at most.

    An Yixuan said: I really admire your courage to exaggerate, but your ambition is quite big.

    Mowenjie said: Wait for me to find you a sister-in-law, and let's see if she's a materialistic woman!

    An Yixuan said: I'm not joking with you. I'm going to wash the dishes!

    Mowenjie said: Where am I going to live?

    An Yixuan said: You'll stay in the room on the left; I've already made it up.

    Mowenjie said: I'm going to go read in my room then!

    An Yixuan had just finished washing the dishes and cleaning the house when her phone rang. She glanced at her phone and saw that it was Niu Xiaofeng. She answered the call: Yixuan, have you had your dinner yet?

    An Yixuan said: Just had my dinner! Have you eaten yet?

    Niu Xiaofeng said: I've already eaten. I'm calling to tell you that there's a classmate gathering tomorrow night, organized by Yang Shusen from our class. As we're about to graduate, everyone will be going their separate ways soon. Yang Shusen wants to make sure that classmates don't leave with regrets before graduation. So he's organizing a classmate gathering so that those who have crushes or romantic feelings can express themselves, and all classmates must attend. Those with boyfriends or girlfriends can bring them along, so that the crushes can let go.

    An Yixuan said: I have to work tomorrow night, so I won't be able to attend.

    Niu Xiaofeng said: You must take the day off and attend, otherwise, all the classmates will have a grudge against you. Besides, you're not unaware that Yang Shusen is hosting this classmate gathering specifically for you. If you don't go, he'll say that it was canceled because of you. Then the classmates will hold a grudge against you. You need to think this through!

    An Yixuan said: Let them say whatever they want!

    Niu Xiaofeng said: Yixuan, do you really want to cut all ties with all your classmates after graduation?

    An Yixuan said: Yang Shusen just because his family is a bit rich, really makes people dislike him!

    Niu Xiaofeng said: In fact, everyone knows the real purpose of his proposal. However, there are also some students in the class who have crushes or romantic feelings for other classmates. Therefore, he proposed a classmate gathering and because it was his own money, it was easily accepted by everyone.

    An Yixuan said: Xiaofeng, I really don't want to attend.

    Niu Xiaofeng said: Yixuan, how can you be so stupid? Can't you hire a handsome guy tomorrow night to pretend to be your boyfriend? No one will investigate!

    An Yixuan said: Alright!

    Niu Xiaofeng said: The Rose Hall at Junle Hotel at 7 PM. I'll hang up now, goodbye!

    An Yixuan said: Goodbye!

    The two of them hang up the phone.

    An Yixuan sighed, "I have a splitting headache. That Yang Shusen is really annoying. He's confessed to me countless times during our four years of college, and I always rejected him. Now that we're graduating, he's still doing this stuff. What should I do tomorrow night?"

    She walked into the living room and sat on the sofa, watching soap operas while worrying about what to do tomorrow night.

    Mowenjie came out of his room and went to the bathroom, seeing An Yixuan watching a soap opera and said, "Aren't you going to rest yet?"

    An Yixuan looked at Mo Wenjie's eyes brighten, "This is a perfect excuse! I forgot about this moron. He may not have a degree, but he has other good conditions."

    An Yixuan said: You'll come over in a while and I'll tell you something!

    Mowenjie said: Got it! He came out of the bathroom, sat down in front of the sofa, and asked, "What's on your mind that you want to tell me?"

    An Yixuan said: "Tomorrow night, pretend to be my boyfriend for the classmate gathering!"

    Mowenjie said: No, I won't go. If I went and it got spread around, how can I find you a sister-in-law? This is about my lifelong happiness. I'm not going. You should find someone else!

    An Yixuan's eyes flashed with anger as she stared at Mo Wenjie, saying sternly, "If you don't go tomorrow night, I'll accuse you of molesting me and make you infamous!"

    Mowenjie said: "Please don't be so vicious! My virtue will be reserved for your beautiful sister-in-law."

    An Yixuan said indignantly, "How come I'm not beautiful?"

    Mowenjie said: "You may be beautiful, but you're not my type. My type is definitely not materialistic!"

    An Yixuan was so angry that tears were rolling down her cheeks.

    Mowenjie, seeing An Yixuan crying, quickly said, "Don't cry! I'll go tomorrow, okay?"

    An Yixuan said, "Be home at 6 PM tomorrow night. I'll see you then. She closed the door with a loud thud and went into her room."

    Mowenjie muttered to himself, "Is it really that bad if I don't pretend to be your boyfriend? It's not fun, so I'm going to sleep. He went back to his room and slept."

    An Yixuan suddenly laughed in her room, muttering to herself, "This jerk is fearless before everything but afraid of girls' tears. Now that I know your weak spot, watch how I manipulate you from now on."

    The next morning, Mo Wenjie woke up early and bought breakfast. When he came back, An Yixuan had already gotten up and was eating the breakfast he bought together.

    Mowenjie said: Here is 2000 yuan. I told you yesterday that I would cover the rent, electricity, and living expenses. All you have to do is cook for me! I'm going to work now!

    An Yixuan didn't bother to be polite either. She put away the 2000 yuan, had her breakfast, and then went to work.

    Mowenjie arrived at the eighth floor of the Feiyang Group Corporation. Fang Ling saw him and said, "Mo Wenjie, you're really talented. Mr. Su told me that your salary has been raised to 100,000 yuan per month, and you can be late or early as long as Mr. Su doesn't go out of town, you can skip work."

    Mowenjie said: That's because of my charm!

    Fang Ling said: "Big you pighead, are you kowtowing Mr. Su?"

    Mowenjie said: "Is there anyone in this world who wants me to kiss their ass? You're truly an ignorant little sister."

    Fang Ling, her cheeks puffed out with anger, said: "You scoundrel, Mo Wenjie, who is your little sister!"

    Mowenjie said: "You're the assistant, Fang."

    Fang Ling was so angry that she jumped up and down. She raged, "Mo Wenjie, you should have your mouth stitched up."

    Mowenjie shook his head and said, "Still acting like a college student, saying others are scoundrels. This is your cultural literacy? This is what people call 'cultured people.' I scorn such 'cultured people' as you!"

    Fang Ling was so angry that she was shaking. She said with a cold look, "Mo Wenjie, I won't let you get away with this. Otherwise, I'll make you pay!"

    Mowenjie said: "I don't need you to let me. I'm already very attractive!"

    Fang Ling wanted to continue exchanging harsh words with Mo Wenjie, but her intercom beeped, and the voice of Su Xueqing came through: "Assistant Fang, is Mo Wenjie here? If he's here, tell me so I can go out with him. I have something urgent that needs to be handled."

    Mowenjie knocked on the door of the general manager's office.

    Su Xueqing said: "Come in!"

    Mowenjie asked, "Are you going out for something?"

    Su Xueqing said: "Let's go see a client with me."

    Mowenjie said: "Let's go!"

    The two people left the company and arrived at a business club called Sheng Huang Business Club.

    Su Xueqing knocked on the door of Room 888.

    A man's voice said from inside, "Come in!"

    Su Xueqing and Mo Wenjie walked into the room.

    A well-dressed man with impeccable manners stood up and said, "Welcome, Miss Su!"

    Su Xueqing said, "I apologize for keeping Mr. Jia waiting."

    Jia Yunpeng said, "Miss Su, please don't be polite. Let's talk about the cooperation."

    Su Xueqing said: "The Jia family is one of the four major families in the provincial city. To be able to cooperate with our Su family is truly exciting!"

    Jia Yunpeng said: "Miss Su, you're too polite. Our Jia family is engaged in the business of precious stones and jade in the provincial city. Both our Jia and Su families are professionals in the industry. As for the upcoming jade stone auction in the south, we have invited Mr. Moi to help us with the jade stone betting as well. Regarding the raw stones selected by Mr. Moi, we at Jia will take 80%, and you at Su will take 20%. What do you think, Miss Su?"

    Su Xueqing said: "Mr. Jia, this distribution ratio seems a bit unfair, doesn't it? We at the Su family are aware that we are not competitors to the Jia family, but such a distribution ratio is something we at the Su family cannot accept. It used to be at least a 70-30 split, and now it's suddenly become 80-20."

    Jia Yunpeng said: "Miss Su, I'm not here to negotiate with you this time. If you can accept the 80-20 split, we'll cooperate. If you can't accept the 80-20 split, then your Su family will have to look for someone else. Mr. Moi won't help you select any raw stones."

    Su Xueqing felt so aggrieved that her eyes were red, and she was almost in tears. She endured her anger and frustration, saying, "Does the Jia family really not want to give the Su family a way out?"

    Jia Yunpeng said: "If the Su family accepts it, then it's settled. If the Su family doesn't accept it, there's nothing we can do!"
