The wives of officials were a very special group. Many times, they did not have real feelings for each other. They only fawned over the rich and powerful. Their status depended on their husbands 'status in the officialdom to improve. Under their bright clothes, they each had a complicated heart. Ever since Ye Ningyuan's rise in the officialdom, Wen Nuan had truly entered the special circle of official wives. In this circle, she had to be careful to please the wives who were more controlled than her husband. At the same time, she would also be careful to please the official wives whose husband's official position was not as high as hers. She felt very tired hovering between the top and bottom because she was an extremely simple and innocent woman. However, after entering this circle, she was not allowed to be too simple and innocent. She had learned to adapt to this circle in about ten years.
Wen Nuan had just finished tidying up the house and was about to send the draft she had written to the magazine agency through email. She had just turned on her computer when her phone rang. It was obvious that it was Zhou Xinran calling. Zhou Xinran's husband, Wang Qiang, and Wen Nuan's husband, Ye Ningyuan, were both in the same unit. However, Wang Qiang was only the office director, so he naturally couldn't be compared to Ye Ningyuan, the deputy bureau chief. Therefore, Zhou Xinran was usually very good to Wen Nuan, who was the wife of the deputy bureau chief, and often asked her out to shop.
"Xinran, did you call for something?”Wen Nuan smiled and said to Zhou Xinran on the other end of the phone.
Zhou Xinran quickly asked Sister Wen, are you free? Let's go to the beauty salon together. My cousin Zhou Tingting's beauty salon just opened last week and she has been asking me to help her pull in business, so I want to drag Sister Wen along.
Wen Nuan pondered for a moment and agreed to meet downstairs in five minutes.
After hanging up the phone, Wen Nuan quickly sent the draft to the designated email address. She changed into her outfit, got into her bag, and left.
Just as she arrived downstairs, Wen Nuan saw a tall woman in black standing in front of a silver-white car." Xinran, I'm sorry to have made you wait.”Wen Nuan quickly walked over and greeted Zhou Xinran with a smile.
Zhou Xinran smiled and said," Sister Wen, you're too polite. I just came here. Wow, Sister Wen, the necklace on your neck is so beautiful. It's made of diamonds. It must be very expensive."。Zhou Xinran saw the sparkling diamond necklace on Wen Nuan's neck at a glance. Even if it wasn't that good, she had to put on an exaggerated expression in front of Wen Nuan. In fact, Zhou Xinran was originally two years older than Wen Nuan, and she still had to address Wen Nuan as Sister Wen Nuan because Ye Ningyuan's position was higher than her husband, Wang Qiang. This Zhou Xinran was an extremely slick woman, with a cheerful personality and a love to talk and laugh. She was like a fish in water in the circle of official wives.
Looking at the praising expression on Zhou Xinran's face, Wen Nuan just smiled calmly and said that Ning Yuan bought this necklace for me when he was on a business trip. The workmanship and style are indeed good. When talking about her man, Wen Nuan's face flashed with a happy expression of a little woman. No matter what conflicts she had with Ye Ningyuan, Wen Nuan knew very well that she had to keep her mouth shut in the group of officials 'wives. The men in the officialdom used their positions to fight for the face of their women, while the officials' wives said that they used their men's gentleness and consideration to fight for their face. Many times, the officialdom was not just a coach between men. The women hiding behind the men were also competing.
"Chief Ye is so considerate. I really envy Sister Wen for having such a good husband.”Zhou Xinran praised him enviously.
Wen Nuan smiled gently and said," Actually, your Wang Qiang isn't bad either. He's obedient to you."
"Compared to Chief Ye, our Wang Qiang is much weaker than Grandma Wang.”Zhou Xinran said as she fastened her seatbelt.
Just like that, Zhou Xinran drove and chatted with Wen Nuan as they arrived at the beauty salon located in the center of Dongchuan.
Zhou Xinran came to the parking lot and parked the car. She personally opened the car door for Wen Nuan to get out. After the two of them got out of the car, they were about to walk inside when a fashionably dressed, tall young girl walked towards them. She looked to be about twenty-three years old. She had bright eyes and white teeth, heavy makeup, and wavy yellow hair. Her figure was curvaceous, and she could be said to have breasts and buttocks. When she walked on the street, she would definitely attract a lot of attention. When Zhou Xinran saw her, she quickly went up to greet her."Yu Jiao, I didn't expect to meet you here.”The girl smiled when she saw Zhou Xinran. She quickly said," What a coincidence, Sister Xinran. We met here. You're here for a beauty treatment, right? I just came out. Although this place is new, the seats are very good. The owner is especially nice."
Zhou Xinran smiled and said," The lady boss is my cousin. You should come more often in the future. Oh right, let me introduce you to Yujiao. This is-" Aiya, Sister Xinran, you don't have to introduce her. I recognized her at a glance. Isn't this Miss Wen Nuan, the judge of " Go Cinderella "? I saw her on TV in Beijing. "Before Zhou Xinran could finish speaking, Yu Jiao came to Wen Nuan and stretched out her hand with a smile.
"Sister Wen, this is my good friend, Chen Yujiao. She said that she likes you very much and is your fan.”Zhou Xinran quickly came to smooth things over and briefly introduced the young girl to Wen Nuan.
Wen Nuan gave Chen Yujiao a friendly smile." Nice to meet you."”Wen Nuan had never put on airs, so she took the initiative to greet and shake hands with Chen Yujiao.
"I'm also very happy to see my idol.”Chen Yujiao's face bloomed with a bright smile. Their eyes met, but for some reason, Chen Yujiao did not dare to look at Wen Nuan and quickly looked away.
"Sister Wen, Yujiao, you two are so fated. Even this necklace is the same.”Zhou Xinran cried out in surprise when she saw that the two of them were wearing necklaces of the same design and workmanship. It was only then that they noticed the diamond necklaces on each other's necks. They were indeed the same.
Wen Nuan's heart tightened when she saw the necklace on Chen Yujiao's neck. She felt a little uncomfortable, but she couldn't explain why. Chen Yujiao felt a little disappointed when she saw the necklace on Wen Nuan's neck that looked exactly like hers.
"It seems that Sister Wen and I are really fated. My boyfriend bought this necklace when he went on a business trip to the provincial capital and gave it to me on Valentine's Day.”Chen Yujiao said proudly as she gently stroked her necklace. Her big watery eyes flashed with a hint of provocation that no one else could see. Wen Nuan said calmly," I heard from my husband that my necklace was also bought from the provincial capital. It was also given to me on Valentine's Day." Wen Nuan didn't want to talk about this, but for some reason, she felt like competing with Chen Yujiao.
"Yujiao, when are you going to introduce your boyfriend to us? Let Sister Wen and I check on him for you.”Zhou Xinran said with good intentions.
Chen Yujiao smiled sweetly and pretended to be happy, saying that her boyfriend was the best man in the world. When there was a chance, she would definitely bring him here to introduce him to everyone. By the way, Sister Xinran, Sister Wen, I have something to do. I have to go first.”After saying that, Chen Yujiao turned around, and Lin Wennuan glanced at Wen Nuan as she turned around.
Chen Yujiao's car was parked opposite Zhou Xinran and Wen Nuan. It was a red Fiat. Chen Yujiao got into the car and the car drove off very quickly. Seeing that the other party had gone far away, Zhou Xinran couldn't help but sigh. Ken was so good. He was beautiful and had a beautiful car. He had found a generous boyfriend. It was really enviable.
Wen Nuan smiled and said," Don't be so unsatisfied. Are you not beautiful, or is your car not beautiful, or is your Wang Qiang not good enough for you? I think you're just moaning for no reason."
Zhou Xinran continued to lament that Chen Yujiao was only in her early twenties. No matter how beautiful she was, she could not compare to her. A woman's greatest asset was her youth.
Wen Nuan agreed with Zhou Xinran's words. For women, youth was something they couldn't afford to lose.
