Summary
On our first day together, Wen Songyi laid down the rules.
Eight thousand yuan a minute.
She said she owned seven companies. Every morning, the moment she opened her eyes, they were burning money.
“So, Pei Yan, you can have your romance. Just don’t get in the way of me making money.”
Dinner took forty minutes. A movie took a hundred and twenty. Coming home with me for the Lunar New Year cost triple—the holiday rate.
Sex was the most expensive. I asked why.
She pressed the timer against my chest, her smile wicked and beautiful.
“I’m supplying the time, and you expect me to do the work too? Even a capitalist wouldn’t squeeze me that hard.”
I never complained about the price.
One year, for her birthday, I booked an entire island so we could spend a day together. She stayed thirteen minutes. She had an international conference call in fifteen.
Back then, I actually thought she was so fucking attractive.
Then the male university student she’d been sponsoring graduated and came back.
Wen Songyi canceled three meetings and turned off her phone. She sat with him at a Chinese chess stall in the old part of the city, where a game cost two yuan, from one in the afternoon until nine at night.
They did nothing. Just sat in the sun, watching old men and women argue.
When her assistant found her, she was nearly in tears.
“Ms. Wen, today’s losses are at least ninety million.”
Wen Songyi didn’t so much as raise an eyebrow.
“I can make the money back. He’s having a bad day.”
All at once, I couldn’t see the point anymore. That night, I stopped every transfer to her.
She called the next day, sounding as infuriating as ever. “What happened? Bankrupt?”
I smiled. “No. I just realized being with you is the least worthwhile thing I’ve ever paid for.”
