Chapter 13: You're Too Poor, I Like Women with Money
In the house, Zhang Fan sat on the cushion beside the bed, while the girl beside him took off her phone and earphones, took a deep breath, and calmed her heart, saying, "Let's sit for a moment, I'll go wash my face and get a drink to calm down."
"Okay, but let's make it clear. It's over for sure."
Do I really want to grab a dumbbell and fight, or what?
Qiang Wei's face showed a hint of anger, but she quickly calmed down.
Leaving the room and entering the bathroom, Zhang Fan washed his face carefully, trying to keep himself awake, then returned to the gym and drank some mineral water.
Early in the morning, there were mostly gym employees present, which was an interesting thing. Gym members were supposed to be disciplined, but if you looked closely, it didn't seem so. Most gym-goers were around noon because they woke up early.
Of course, there were exceptions.
"Qiang Wei, are you here to work out so early?"
A man holding fresh flowers, dressed in a suit, had just arrived at the gym. Qiang Wei nodded and said, "Yeah, I have something to do. If you're here to work out, let's talk later."
"Okay, I'll put the flowers on the table for now."
After that, Qiang Wei returned to the private gym.
"What's going on?"
The man stood at the counter chatting with Xiao Qian, who was holding her phone. She said, "Let me tell you a shocking secret."
"Go on, if it's a good secret, I'll buy you a drink."
"Qiang Wei and Zhang Fan broke up."
Whoa.
What a shocking secret! The man immediately turned to leave, and Xiao Qian said with joy, "President Liu, you're still better than that Zhang Fan guy by miles. Every time you bring something for Qiang Wei to eat, even reminding her to eat, it's really considerate."
"They broke up? Well, Qiang Wei always looks for a scapegoat."
"Yes, it was Zhang Fan who initiated the breakup with Qiang Wei. It seems that Zhang Fan felt too tired of the relationship."
The man pondered for a moment and said, "That's normal. He's just a student, not very wealthy. Meeting a girl like Qiang Wei, trying to hold onto his own principles, is normal. But school is school, reality is reality. Time and experience are too much of a burden, so he gave up. Relationships need to be built on a foundation of money."
Xiao Qian also felt that this made sense, so she broke up with her boyfriend shortly after starting school. If the basic living conditions are not enough, how can one live? She's quite attractive herself and has a stable job.
If she wanted to, many bosses would be willing to date her.
"President Liu, don't say Zhang Fan didn't have a chance. Now Qiang Wei is single."
"In fact, that relationship was doomed from the start. She only liked the thrill of being with other men. There was no chance for Zhang Fan."
This was Xiao Qian's blind spot in understanding relationships.
In the room, Qiang Wei sat on the floor, waiting, and said, "I want to know the reason."
Is there really a reason that can make it clear why they broke up?
Qiang Wei sitting on the floor was indeed very beautiful, her legs crossed, forming a unique beauty. Zhang Fan felt that he had gained at least ten pounds, but he still looked a bit chubby. He belonged to the kind of person who, at first glance, you could tell had decided to give up.
Holding a paper cup and lowering his head, Zhang Fan said, "The thing is, Qiang Wei, you're too demanding. We didn't have a good foundation to begin with, so let's just break up. I'm really lacking in money, right? There's no need to have contact with someone like you."
Well, no matter how you think about it, these are the words Zhang Fan should say.
"Why do you feel this way now? When you started pursuing me, you didn't seem to care about these things. Now you remember what you said, about being a kite, with money in your hand, feeling tired of floating, and only returning when you're tired, but it's always in your hand."
"Is that greed? Endure it. You're a man, right? You can always have a girlfriend if you need one. Do you have to watch porn every day?"
Hmm, this question really hit Qiang Wei's heart. It's a rebuttal. If a guy pursues a girl just to satisfy his desires, the girl will think he's a scoundrel. But if he says this, probably anyone would believe it.
At this moment, Xiao Qian came in with some snacks, saying, "President Liu bought some snacks, please enjoy. There are still a lot left, so take some."
"Do you want to know the reason for the breakup? Let's sit down and pretend to be serious."
"Okay."
So Xiao Qian took some melon seeds out of her pocket, sat at the table, and watched the lively scene with great interest. This scene was really enjoyable.
It looks good.
Zhang Fan, with his hat on, kept his head down, so few people could see his real face.
Rubbing the paper cup, Zhang Fan was a bit at a loss for what reasons to find.
"I wanted to break up because I felt it was wrong. At least I understood the rules. There was no time, or maybe it's really possible. This time, I didn't lie. Among so many men, I felt the most sincere. I gave you a chance to change your mind. If you take it back, I still like you."
Zhang Fan sighed. Indeed, women, they're a kind of creature that's hard to understand.
This girl is a student. She'll get excited about two things and be indifferent about one thing. She'll be calm, cold, and unpredictable because she's seen too much. There are too many paths, too many choices. The kind of pure love Qiang Wei felt was rare.
Zhang Fan took off his hat, tidied his hair, and said, "How much is your salary per month?"
"More than five thousand basic salary, plus commission, it's still difficult to make ten thousand a month."
"Too little. With this kind of money, how can you support a girl? At least you need to earn a monthly income of one hundred thousand. You should have at least two properties, and your savings should be at least seven figures. If you're tired, you can find someone with a low salary to take care of you. If you want to find a rich woman, you can rely on her to support you and give you money every day."
Whoa.
Xiao Qian looked at Zhang Fan in disbelief. He really knows how to find reasons for breaking up?
