One day, in the summer evening, I returned home from the factory.

After a busy day, I am very tired.

The pace of big cities is so fast that many times you think you are a machine. Only when you are free from work do you realize that you are actually just a human body.

I just entered the house and before I could leave my briefcase, my wife approached me.

She looked at me dreamily, as if asking for a kiss.

At that time, I was a little surprised, after all, we haven't been that close for a long, long time.

I don’t know exactly when it started, but we gradually lost trust.

Seeing her actively showing her kindness to me, I was very excited, dropped my briefcase and went to hug her.

Who doesn’t hope that he and his wife can reconcile?

As a result, my wife did not hug me. She sniffed me and then slapped me on the shoulder.

She asked me sternly: "Tell me, where does the smell of perfume on you come from?"

The summer weather in Shanghai is like being steamed in a steamer. Why does the smell of sweat all over my body smell like perfume?

Even if there were, they would have been blown away by the wind on the way home.

Every time I drive home, I like to open the windows and let the wind blow. Only in this way can I avoid driving fatigued. Whether it is the hot wind blowing in front of me when the air is so hot that it smokes, or the biting cold wind in winter, I have to blow it.

a while.

I smelled myself hard and said, "There is no perfume smell."

My wife stared at me for a century.

She asked: "If you don't smell perfume, why do you smell it on yourself?"

I replied helplessly: "I smelled it because you said I smelled of perfume, so I smelled it."

She stared at me again.

To be honest, the way she looks silent is actually very beautiful.

However, beneath this beauty lies danger.

She stopped me at the door and refused to let me in? She insisted that I give her an explanation.

I said, "Then you wait? I'll give you an explanation."

I opened my briefcase, took out something from it, and handed it to her.

She was a little angry? I felt like she started to speak with a bit of gritted teeth. It seemed like she spoke when she had a toothache.

She asked me: "Why did you give me a tape?"

Did you know? I just told you that our factory produces and sells tape.

I answered my wife: "Didn't you just ask me to give you a tape? I gave it to you."

My wife is angry? I saw that the chewing muscles on both sides of her cheeks have protruded.

That's an action people often do before making a decision or when exerting force.

She looked at me and asked me slowly, almost word by word: "Where does your fragrance come from?"

I replied: "Okay, dear wife, I'm not kidding you anymore? There is no perfume smell. Today I changed a mother roll supplier. Can you see the quality of the roll of tape I just gave you?"

My wife, holding the Scotch tape, raised her hand high at me.

This roll of tape? It was cut from the new master roll that came in that day, and I took it home to show her.

The mother roll is one of the main raw materials of my factory. Small tapes are cut from very large mother rolls. This is not a very professional thing. My factory is neither big nor small. I remove everything

Expenses? In fact, you can’t make much money from this in a year.

I don’t quite understand why I, a person who came back from studying abroad as an undergraduate, would do a tape processing workshop.

I used to be a high-spirited executive in a foreign-funded enterprise.

I have studied abroad for five years, one year as a preparatory course and four years as an undergraduate, and am proficient in two foreign languages.

At that time, I returned to Shanghai with my ex-girlfriend and joined a German-owned company. I was in the marketing department and she was in the administrative department.

In fact, my major is business management. My father, your cousin, his original idea was to let me return to the provincial capital and find a job in the government.

But being an unfilial child, I insist on following my girlfriend to Shanghai to pursue my career.

My father spent money on food, drinks, and support, but I ruthlessly abandoned him in Hunan.

Unfortunately, my ex-girlfriend's parents despised me for being from a rural area and not worthy of their precious daughter. They made a very cliché excuse, saying that I didn't have a house.

In the big city of Shanghai, every inch of land is precious. I am a young man who has just returned to China. Where can I spend a huge amount of money to buy a house?

My dad actually prepared a sum of money for me to buy a house. My sister and brother-in-law pay tens of thousands of dollars to my dad every year.

I have three sisters.

They both only went to high school, but they are good-looking. They follow my father, and I follow my mother. They are short and not outstanding in appearance.

But my father was angry with me. Seeing that I had given up my job and insisted on living in Shanghai with my girlfriend, he was so angry that he told me clearly on the phone that if I didn’t go back to Hunan, I wouldn’t be able to rely on my family for any more money.

But it’s okay. I don’t blame my dad. Even if I asked him for money and bought a house in Shanghai, my ex-girlfriend’s parents would not agree to us being together because of the gap between me and her.

, not just the gap between rich and poor, but the gap between two classes, her family is a wealthy family, and my family is a poor farmer.

What's more, all my family's money was given to me. With my ability at the time, I couldn't afford to buy a house in Shanghai.

Vertically, three generations up, it's still the same.

Horizontally, we don’t have any wealthy relatives in our family.

The reason why I can study abroad is that I have a good father and three good sisters.

After I broke up with my ex-girlfriend, I resigned from that German-owned company.

Later, I went to another company and the salary was higher. Through my own efforts, more than a year later, I took out a loan and bought a small apartment, a duplex apartment.

After I got my house, I met my wife not long after.

Later, like most outsiders working hard in Shanghai, under the pressure of high-paced work, we rushed to fall in love and went through all the stages of love experientially.

Then they would have children before getting married, then they would have children before getting married.

Then, it was discovered it was a scam.

There is no pregnancy at all, it is just a way for my wife to get married quickly.

When a woman loves you so much, she is very happy. I don't think it is cheating.

After I got married, I came up with the idea of ​​starting a business.

After trying many projects and partnering with friends several times, I finally found a project with low investment and stable profit.

Produces transparent tape and various double-sided tapes and foam tapes.

This investment only requires buying a slitting machine, renting a good space, and hiring workers.

However, doing business is never easy. I have to run the market and keep an eye on factories. Gradually, I naturally took less care of my wife. Barriers began to form and conflicts began to arise.

No matter what, I can't let some small emotions affect the operation of the factory. After all, I have to rely on it to earn enough money to buy a big house and earn enough money to have children and send them to school.

My college classmates knew that I actually opened a small factory selling transparent tape, and they couldn't understand it.

There is no distinction between high and low jobs, and there is no distinction between high and low in business. There is nothing I can't understand.

Is tape bad?

The roll of tape I gave my wife is fine.

My wife was holding the tape in her hand, and she asked me: "Give you another chance, where does the smell of perfume on you come from?"

I replied: "I smell perfume somewhere. I've been tired for a long day. Can you let me sit on the sofa first?"

My wife asked me again: "If you don't smell of perfume, what did you smell just now?"

I got a little angry and replied: "You said I smell of perfume, let me smell it and let you see if it does!"

She said: "If it doesn't exist, you won't smell it. If you smell it, you will feel guilty. See if the perfume smell is still there!"

I said: "Okay, stop making trouble, I haven't eaten yet, I'm hungry!"

She took the roll of tape and hit me. Although she didn't hit me, she was just scaring me, but I couldn't bear it anymore. I walked to the living room angrily, sat on the sofa, and said loudly to her

: "Every day you come back, you will be suspicious. Yesterday, I came home and stood at the door playing with my phone. You said behind the peephole that I was deleting messages on my phone. The day before yesterday, I leaned on the car in the parking lot and squinted for a while. When I woke up, you called me countless times.

Hey, you said I went fooling around. I was in the parking lot downstairs of my house. Am I fooling around with the Autobots? You are not tired, I feel tired. I thought you would give me a little warmth today, but in the end, you just smell me when you come close to me.

You smell the perfume on my body, are you satisfied?"

She burst into tears and said, "You finally admitted that you smell of perfume, woo woo woo..."

I got angry and said, "Admit it and your mother admits it!"

She was hysterical, saying that I insulted her mother, and sprinted from the door to the living room at a speed of 100 meters to duel with me.

duel?
