The worker Gu Jianshe asked was the biggest gossip in the workshop, his tongue was even sharper than the chattiest housewives. 

Gu Jianshe had been sure he would hear the ‘perfect’ answer he was expecting, rumors about Chu Qiao being flirtatious and unfaithful, or Gu Ye being cuckolded and humiliated.

However—

“There is some news. Secretary Gu, let me tell you, Yang Xiucai went on a blind date the day before yesterday and it failed again. That’s his thirty-ninth failure! Tsk tsk, looks like he’s going to be a bachelor for life, what a pity!” 

The gossiping worker spoke as if lamenting, but his face was full of schadenfreude.

The smile on Gu Jianshe’s face stiffened for a moment. 

This wasn’t what he wanted to hear. What did it matter to him whether Yang Xiucai remained a bachelor or not? He himself was still single too. 

After casually agreeing with a few remarks, Gu Jianshe pretended to ask nonchalantly, “Anything else new?”

The worker thought for a moment, then slapped his thigh and said excitedly, “Yeah! Let me tell you, Old Zhang from the casting workshop got kicked off the bed by his wife again, and even got beaten up. He’s walking with a limp now, what a pity!”

Gu Jianshe grew a bit impatient. He had no interest whatsoever in Old Zhang getting beaten by his wife. 

This guy was so dense, going on and on about irrelevant things, yet not mentioning Chu Qiao at all. Did he really have to spell it out and ask directly?

Perhaps sensing Gu Jianshe’s thoughts, the gossiping worker finally brought up Chu Qiao on his own. 

Gu Jianshe immediately perked up, ready to listen attentively, he had even already prepared what he would say next. 

“Director Gu’s wife, you know, it’s your young aunt. Wow, she’s really something!” The worker spoke with great admiration. 

But Gu Jianshe misunderstood, thinking the worker was speaking with disdain toward Chu Qiao. 

He grew even more excited and pressed, “What about my aunt?”

In his heart, he was shouting: Hurry up and say it, say that woman is flirtatious and unfaithful, that she behaves improperly at the dance hall, that she’s cheated countless times on Gu Ye!

“She’s incredibly capable! Honestly, Director Gu really knows how to pick a wife, such a capable and beautiful woman. She can play the piano, the drums, and perform all kinds of music. She earns fifty yuan an hour! I work myself to the bone for a whole month and only make one hundred fifty. And she doesn’t even care for that job anymore, I heard she’s going to start a company. Deputy Secretary Gu, do you know what kind of company your aunt is starting?” 

The worker looked at Gu Jianshe expectantly, hoping to get firsthand information. 

People in the factory were all guessing what kind of company Chu Qiao was starting. If he could get the inside scoop, he’d have something to brag about.

The reserved smile on Gu Jianshe’s face froze, his eyes filled with disbelief. If he hadn’t heard wrong, this guy was actually admiring Gu Ye?

Had the world changed, or was something wrong with his ears?

“My aunt earns fifty yuan a night?”

“Yeah, and that’s not all, there are tips too. I heard a few days ago she made one hundred and fifty in a single night.” 

The worker said sourly, his heart full of jealousy. 

At home, his own ‘yellow-faced wife’ only knew how to ask him for money. Comparing people like this was enough to drive him mad.

Gu Jianshe felt the same bitterness inside. 

One night’s earnings of one hundred and fifty, that was equal to his monthly salary. And that woman was making so much money, it was all going to Gu Ye.

“Where is she working to earn that much?” Gu Jianshe asked deliberately.

“At a dance hall ah, the Cai Xia Dance Hall. Ever heard of it? I hear it’s the most luxurious dance hall in Shanghai. Just the entrance ticket costs five yuan!” 

The worker looked full of longing. 

He was even planning to smoke less this month to save up five yuan and go see it for himself.

Gu Jianshe’s expression turned strange. 

Hesitating, he said, “Places like dance halls are pretty chaotic. Sure, the pay is high, but… well… my aunt really shouldn’t be working in a place like that. No matter how much money there is, she shouldn’t go, what will people think? I should go talk to her!”
