Perverted Shanghai, ugly life! After reading this, I don't understand Shanghai
——Originally named "Shanghai, please bury me tonight"
Text: Zhang Nostalgia
If you are a confident man, but have no achievements in your career and have mediocre income, then you should leave Shanghai as soon as possible, otherwise you will have nothing in your possession in this city after many years. After sucking your blood, this city will ruthlessly despise you. What it gets is prosperity, and what you lose is youth.
If you are a graceful woman but have not found the belonging you want, you should leave Shanghai as soon as possible. The skyscrapers in Lujiazui cannot carry your dreams, and the prosperous city of Xujiahui cannot give you a happy life. This city will kick you away after ravaging your originally pure body. What it gets is that what you shatter is your dream.
People who are leaving their hometowns and having their wives and children, are you here in Shanghai to keep up with the trend or to live a life? Is it for entrepreneurship or for love? Is it to make a lot of money or to learn culture? What have you gained and what have you lost?
Shanghai is not a city of love or a city of life, but a cultural desert full of stinky scent and carnal sensuality. The material world and spiritual realm here follow the principle of "equivalent exchange" of the commodity economy everywhere. Even if a poor guy falls in love with a girl with an ordinary appearance, it takes too many reasons; the so-called love at first sight can only happen when you open the car door with ease, and the so-called affection may appear after you swipe your card and swipe it wildly, but everything comes so simple and so natural. Even if you get such love, how many people will truly cherish it.
Shanghai is a city that loves gatherings, and gatherings between family, friends, colleagues, netizens and classmates are common. In the eyes of Shanghai people, if anyone's Spring Festival New Year's Eve dinner was not eaten in a restaurant, it seemed that it would be not fashionable, not rich, not decent enough. As early as one or two months before the New Year, the New Year's Eve dinners in major hotels were booked early. Perhaps this is the self-esteem of Shanghai people. I think for most Chinese people, it is a very happy thing for a family to make dumplings and have a reunion dinner together on New Year’s Eve. The advantages of honesty and simplicity are not reflected in the city of Shanghai at all.
The first time I attended a "AA" friend gathering in my life was in Shanghai half a year ago. I have heard of the "AA system" before, but I have never encountered it. I have attended several gatherings before, in some small and medium-sized cities. After eating, people always pay the order and rarely mention the "AA system". I remember that the Shanghai party half a year ago was hot pot. Eight people ate 340 yuan, and 340 yuan was divided by 8. As a result, when paying the bill, someone took out all the coins. Some coins fell on the ground and rolled far away. The waiter seemed to be used to this pieced-in payment method, and actually squatted on the ground to help find the one-yuan coin that had rolled far away. Later, I told a friend that I felt very uncomfortable when I saw this scene. What is this called swearing to my friend! My friend said that it’s just like this in Shanghai, which doesn’t mean anything. Everyone is used to it and there is nothing to be embarrassed about. Later, because of the loneliness of life, I attended two friends' gatherings one after another. I gradually got used to the habit of dividing the total amount by the number of people and then paying for money. Later, I felt that "AA system" is really good. So many people only spent a lot of money on eating, singing, and drinking tea.
Is Shanghai really a money-saving city?
After a few gatherings, I realized that there are indeed parties at any time, but there is still no friend.
I also tried to unilaterally pay someone to come out to have some wine with me, but men suspected that I wanted to borrow money from him, and women suspected that I wanted to have sex with her. So I still like to drink alone.
I know these men and women didn't look like this before they came to Shanghai. Once a person is trapped in Shanghai, it is difficult to remain undefeated.
When talking about sex, I want to make a few words.
Women who are struggling in Shanghai can pretend to be in love with you and can force themselves to have sex with you, but if you don’t have a house, they are determined not to be your wife.
In the words of a Sichuan brother of mine, Shanghai women are full of meat. Don’t look for a wife in Shanghai. A woman who can live in Shanghai alone and survive for a long time is definitely not a good deal. They can stand up for handsome guys or they can be willing to sacrifice their money!
Shanghai is a city that is suitable but not suitable for love. There are more people who have sex than chickens, but few people who have sex. There are many women who are as beautiful as flowers and jade, and there are very few women who are pure and innocent. Finally, I found a woman worth spending my whole life in the vast crowd. After loving her for more than half a year, I found out that she actually has a second career. There are many burly men, but there are very few real ones. If they stripped naked, they are actually all soft steel bars. For men living in the city of Shanghai, the saying "Friends are used to betray women" can be used as their motto.
The women found a handsome poor man as their boyfriend, which satisfied their vanity but could not satisfy their luxurious material pursuits. So they tried every means to have sex with the rich man, and then asked them to pay for themselves a year's rent and promised to "notify in advance and play as they come"! They truly love two men at the same time, and losing either one is unbearable. Perverted cities create perverted women, but I really appreciate such perverted women. At least they are honest and trustworthy and follow the principle of equivalent exchange of commodity economy.
In contrast, I seriously despise those women who cheat food and drink. They are untrustworthy, greedy, and extortion. They do not have the temperament of Shanghai women nor the simple beauty of rural women. She does not admit that she is a country man and she is old-fashioned and can’t afford to play at all! It's not on the road! Such a woman ends up the most miserable end!
My unsatisfied Nanjing brother has been in Shanghai for a year and met a woman who was a little pretty. This woman spoke authentic Shanghainese dialect. My brother always mistakenly thought she was from Shanghai, so he invited her to five consecutive meals. When the sixth meal, he held the woman's hand. When the seventh meal, he hugged the woman's waist and never encountered any resistance. So he invited the woman to visit West Lake, Hangzhou, and the woman happily agreed and opened the room at night. My brother thought it was finally natural. As a result, when he was about to insert it, the woman said: Actually, I have always treated you as a friend, you can't treat me like this.
My brother cried and said that he had fallen into the abyss of love. Under his plea, the woman finally agreed to take off her clothes and let him see it, but she was not allowed to touch it. My honest brother really didn't touch it. He said that he had a look at his fair body enough. Later, as the woman said, they really became friends. My brother told me during the Chinese New Year that the woman couldn't make it in Shanghai and went back to her hometown to get married. She borrowed him 500 yuan before leaving, but she has not been able to contact her now.
Today I want to tell those so-called female "friends": If you really make friends, you must achieve a material and emotional "AA system". Don't use the name of "friends" to conceal your greed at critical moments, that is an inequality exchange in the world of equivalent exchange. The word "friend" is absolute and there is no double standard.
I have told my brother that there is no friendship between men and women, and I never make friends with women. He always doesn't believe it and always suffers losses. Deserve it!
A truly pure woman will not cover her crotch and talk to others. Only those women with calluses clamp their legs to pretend to be pure. It takes too much time and money to go to bed with a dirty woman, and you have to accept too many questions and questions; it is very unintentional to go to bed with a pure woman, and all the touches are deeply buried in your heart.
In Shanghai, men do not believe in women, and women look down on men, so there are too many single men and women here. When they cannot conquer desires, desire will conquer them. So, the bar became a place for them to release their desires. The bar culture on Hengshan Road and Maoming South Road in Shanghai is filled with the city's sexual civilization. During the day, the dust and hustle and bustle of the night are deposited here; at night, the ghosts of the day are rippling here. The pungent air was filled with the smell of desire, the cigarettes and beer wandered back and forth, the deafening music melted the rationality, and everyone looked like a homeless person, twisted butts, swaying heads, trembling, and beating...
I tried to cover my ears and look at these people, they were like puppets.
I was invited to attend a software launch conference for a young overseas returnee as a graphic designer. It was said that it was a press conference, but in a small conference room of a four-star hotel, there were about a dozen people. It seemed that I was the shabby one, because I had just arrived in Shanghai from the countryside and didn’t talk much. I was very focused on listening to them chatting about their respective work.
One of them wore gold-rimmed glasses, a straight suit, and shiny leather shoes, looking like a scholarly attitude and talking nonsense. When someone asked him about his specific work, he said, "I am an investor." After that, he did not start talking and went to another topic.
There is also a woman who is very elegant, with big wavy hair dyed brown, dressed generously and well-deservedly, with a master's degree, and a standard Shanghai outfit. She said, "I'm doing EF." When she said this, she bit the pronunciation of the two letters "EF" very accurately and the sound was loud. No one understands the specific meaning of "EF", and is afraid that she will be ridiculed as ignorant, so no one asks what "EF" is, and she has no explanation.
Before leaving, someone in the elevator asked someone, "What do you do?" Someone said, "I do exhibitions." The young returnee immediately continued, "He often goes to South America and the Middle East and is very busy."
From the beginning and end of the conference, I was always an audience member, I didn't say anything, and no one paid attention to me.
After walking out of the elevator, saying goodbye, and going their separate ways. I noticed that some of them stood on the bus stop, some walked, some said before, "It's raining today, I'll call a TAXI" home, and one person rode a broken bicycle away. I am the only one who runs the company, Jeep, and maybe in their opinion, I am just a driver.
A few days later, I learned from the young people who returned from overseas that the investor was a salesperson in the credit card department of China Merchants Bank. His main job was to promote credit cards; the person who did "EF" was for education and training, and "EF" was the abbreviation of "Education Foster" (education and training). She had been abroad for several years and could not find a job after returning to China, so she could only be an English teacher; the person who often went to South America and the Middle East to do exhibitions was actually a leader, an informant who fought guerrillas everywhere. And my young overseas returnee friend’s software is actually just a chat software.
I don’t know what he does when he said he was called “TAXI”. From his words, I can see that he was complacent that he could speak a few English words. From his behavior, I can see that he thought it was a great thing to fight “TAXI” in Shanghai.

Speaking of the fight, it is really a pain in Shanghai. Finding a taxi is much more difficult than finding a toilet. It also depends on the driver's mood. He stops when he wants to stop, and keeps stopping if he doesn't want to stop. What's more, he stops when he stops and asks you where you are before you get on the bus. If he doesn't like the place you go, he shakes his head and steps on the accelerator and leaves. When I meet such a person, I usually open the door first, go in and sit down and tell him directly wherever I want to go. If he doesn't go, I will get angry with him, but he still goes. There was also a driver who gave me cigarettes and said I didn’t smoke. I hope you don’t smoke either. He had to stop smoking. Of course this phenomenon is not common. The common phenomenon we often see is that after get off work, the road is full of taxi-takers, and they stretch out their hands one by one. They are like beggars, and taxis are galloping past, just like flying thieves. It feels a bit like "a ten-mile long street to send the Prime Minister", but it is not very touching. I once waited at a not-so-busy intersection for 80 minutes, and the more than 100 taxis passing by me were loaded, which made me miss the last bus at the long-distance bus station and stayed in another city for one night. The destination that I could have arrived that night, but I arrived the next day.
One night, I had to rush from the train station to eat near the Shanghai Conservatory of Music in a short time. They asked me to take a taxi but I didn't. I walked to the subway station and bought a ticket of 2 yuan. I took the subway (it seemed to be Line 1) and arrived at the station in 20 minutes. After leaving the station, I spent 10 yuan to call a "motor" (motorcycle carrying passengers) to shuttle through the streets and alleys. He was at ease in the traffic and took me to the entrance of the hotel for about 5 minutes. The whole ticket price was RMB 12 yuan (10 yuan cheaper than taking a taxi)! They said it will arrive so soon? I heard that the elevated road is very congested today. I said I won't fight again from now on.
Fighting "TAXI" in Shanghai is stupid and obscene, losing money and making mistakes. Especially before supper after get off work, or it is still drizzling in the sky, it may be a weekend... If you are still tireless, then go and fight for a "TAXI".
Taking the subway is a little faster, but it won't make you feel very comfortable either. The subway in People's Square suffocates you, and it is bustling with people. You can't tell who is a hooligan and who is a thief! It’s the most sad to take the bus. It can still keep warm in winter, but what about summer? I really feel sorry for those women. Such a good body is squeezed and rubbed. I really feel sad for their father. My daughter's body is indirectly insulted by strangers in broad daylight, every day, every year. There are many people in the car. We don’t know who wants to steal money and who wants to cheat sex. We don’t have time to think about it, because we care about how to find a suitable position to stand firm in our heels. What we care about is that today is Wednesday and Friday will be liberated...
It can be said that no one who has been taking a bus in Shanghai for more than three months has not been caught by a car door! The word "crowded" cannot express the density of Shanghai's bus population. It is an inappropriate metaphor, just as heavy as the gas train that Nazi escorted Jews in the film "Shintler's List"!
Besides, when I go home for the New Year, I am really sad for those young people with hemorrhoids who are thousands of miles away from my hometown. They need to queue up to buy tickets at the gymnasium N days in advance. Some people didn’t get there during the day and went there to queue at 2 o’clock in the middle of the night. Finally, I bought a station ticket and it took 40 hours to get home. The round trip fee was also very considerable. Some people who are even more unfortunate are too late to cry when they are deceived by scalpers. Year after year, I just fooled it.
Or you are doing well, you have a car, and you are glad that you will never have to squeeze into the bus again. But if you dare to park randomly, there may be two situations: one is that your wiper is covered with a ticket, and the other is that your car disappears. After you call the police in panic, you will be charged with taking 200 yuan to a traffic police brigade with relevant documents and then go to an old man in a parking lot to pick up the car.
In short, in Shanghai, you have to pay when the car stops. If you stop wrong, you pay more, and if you stop right, you pay less.
I used butter paint to draw a few grids on the people's land, directed the people to put the cars into the grid, and then charged the people's parking fee at a price of 10 yuan/hour. I don't know what the logic is. I remember when I was a child, the teacher told us that the people are the masters of the land. Now, it has changed. Maybe this is the so-called harmonious society.
Supper maket in a harmonious society is not harmonious. I have been to about 30 supermarkets in Shanghai. I, Zhang Noiciao, can tell TV viewers across the country responsibly that 98% of the supermarket salesmen in Shanghai are middle-aged women, and based on their performance, I can infer that they suffer from varying degrees of "menstrual irregularity".
You can imagine how cruel it would be to our consumers when a woman in this age becomes a salesperson when she becomes a salesperson! So I said that Shanghai supermarkets solved the reemployment problem of most women with secondary menopause. After they were laid off, they started working again and had something to do, which greatly alleviated their family conflicts, but what followed was also brought certain discord to our whole society.
Once, my friend Xiao Bian and I went to a small supermarket to buy shampoo. After searching for a while, I couldn’t find shampoo. So Xiao Bian said to a salesperson: Where is the shampoo? The salesperson muttered a few words in Shanghai dialect impatiently, but we didn’t understand. Xiao Bian asked again humbly and embarrassedly: Where is the shampoo? As a result, the salesperson said viciously in Mandarin: Just behind, look for it yourself! ! Xiao Bian turned his head and left after hearing this, and cursed: Damn, I won’t wash my hair today.
Nostalgia can also tell you sincerely that every time I go to the supermarket, I am frightened and afraid of offending those salesmen, so I rarely go to the supermarket. I would rather go to the vegetable market than to the supermarket. At least, there are many farmers in the vegetable market who greet me with a smile.
Xiao Bian summarized: Shanghai supermarkets have become the mood gas station for Shanghai sub-healthy women! The discordant shopping environment of Shanghai supermarkets has the most direct and fundamental connection with the discordant situation of middle-aged women in Shanghai's own sexual life! Xiao Bian asked me to name and criticize the following units in this blog post (regardless of ranking): Keti, Haode, Kuaike, Liangyou Jinban, Wu Yuan, Luosen, Quanjia, Hualian, Guangming and other almost all small and medium-sized supermarkets.
These supermarkets are small, but the things are expensive because they know we don’t have time to queue up at the big supermarket. I don’t know why they are expensive. Many small supermarkets don’t even have air conditioners, and the cashier also uses a rice cooker to fill a large pot of tea eggs that have been burning for many days. The radiant chicken sensation soaks every item on the shelves.
Maybe some people think what I said is biased. Many of the salesmen in Shanghai supermarkets are still boys and girls. I admit this, I won’t say that the man is a man. It is worthy of praise for starting a business hard from the bottom, but what about the woman? Through careful observation, we can find that these women are not good-looking, and they are not good-looking at all. Some of them look a bit like men. I have seen a girl salesperson in the Agricultural Industrial and Commercial Supermarket. No matter how you look at it, how you look like Zhao Benshan when he was young.
Where have all the beautiful women gone? Beautiful women cannot be salesmen, and beautiful women are natural consumers. This is Shanghai.
Nanjing is a city that touched me. If you don’t talk about other supermarkets, I will just talk about the “Suguo Supermarket” in Nanjing. 90% of the cashiers are unmarried girls. I am a person who shows mercy everywhere. To be honest, I have really liked at least 20 Suguo cashiers. Whether this kind of love lasts for 10 minutes, one night or one month, in my heart, such love is sincere.
The cashier in Shanghai is just a machine, and the cashier in Nanjing can be my girlfriend. I once missed the "Suguo Supermarket" because of the look of a girl cashier in "Suguo Supermarket". During that time, I went there twice a day, and I bought a bottle of milk every time, so that I could say a few words to her or take a look. She knew I loved her and didn't hate me, but I never said it because I had a girlfriend at that time. Later, I delayed the date of leaving Nanjing for more than half a year for her. When I left, I didn't say goodbye because I was afraid that we could not help crying.
Doing business in Shanghai is doing business, and no one talks about feelings with you; while you can’t do business in Nanjing, but feelings cannot be left out. The smell of copper in Shanghai is stronger, and the humanity in Nanjing is stronger. Shanghai supermarkets used middle-aged women as salesmen to consider two aspects: one is the low salary, and the other is that they have passed the breastfeeding period, no maternity leave, and no subsidies. However, Nanjing Supermarket is not so clear about it, and they consider consumers' feelings more. Today, I would like to express my gratitude to those unmarried young people who are mediocre.
So I said, no matter how refined Nanjing is, it is not as good as Shanghai.

If he doesn't like the place you go, he shakes his head and steps on the accelerator and leaves. When I meet such a person, I usually open the door first, go in and sit down and tell him directly wherever I want to go. If he doesn't go, I will get angry with him, but he still goes. There was also a driver who gave me cigarettes and said I didn’t smoke. I hope you don’t smoke either. He had to stop smoking. Of course this phenomenon is not common. The common phenomenon we often see is that after get off work, the road is full of taxi-takers, and they stretch out their hands one by one. They are like beggars, and taxis are galloping past, just like flying thieves. It feels a bit like "a ten-mile long street to send the Prime Minister", but it is not very touching. I once waited at a not-so-busy intersection for 80 minutes, and the more than 100 taxis passing by me were loaded, which made me miss the last bus at the long-distance bus station and stayed in another city for one night. The destination that I could have arrived that night, but I arrived the next day.
One night, I had to rush from the train station to eat near the Shanghai Conservatory of Music in a short time. They asked me to take a taxi but I didn't. I walked to the subway station and bought a ticket of 2 yuan. I took the subway (it seemed to be Line 1) and arrived at the station in 20 minutes. After leaving the station, I spent 10 yuan to call a "motor" (motorcycle carrying passengers) to shuttle through the streets and alleys. He was at ease in the traffic and took me to the entrance of the hotel for about 5 minutes. The whole ticket price was RMB 12 yuan (10 yuan cheaper than taking a taxi)! They said it will arrive so soon? I heard that the elevated road is very congested today. I said I won't fight again from now on.
Fighting "TAXI" in Shanghai is stupid and obscene, losing money and making mistakes. Especially before supper after get off work, or it is still drizzling in the sky, it may be a weekend... If you are still tireless, then go and fight for a "TAXI".
Taking the subway is a little faster, but it won't make you feel very comfortable either. The subway in People's Square suffocates you, and it is bustling with people. You can't tell who is a hooligan and who is a thief! It’s the most sad to take the bus. It can still keep warm in winter, but what about summer? I really feel sorry for those women. Such a good body is squeezed and rubbed. I really feel sad for their father. My daughter's body is indirectly insulted by strangers in broad daylight, every day, every year. There are many people in the car. We don’t know who wants to steal money and who wants to cheat sex. We don’t have time to think about it, because we care about how to find a suitable position to stand firm in our heels. What we care about is that today is Wednesday and Friday will be liberated...
It can be said that no one who has been taking a bus in Shanghai for more than three months has not been caught by a car door! The word "crowded" cannot express the density of Shanghai's bus population. It is an inappropriate metaphor, just as heavy as the gas train that Nazi escorted Jews in the film "Shintler's List"!
Besides, when I go home for the New Year, I am really sad for those young people with hemorrhoids who are thousands of miles away from my hometown. They need to queue up to buy tickets at the gymnasium N days in advance. Some people didn’t get there during the day and went there to queue at 2 o’clock in the middle of the night. Finally, I bought a station ticket and it took 40 hours to get home. The round trip fee was also very considerable. Some people who are even more unfortunate are too late to cry when they are deceived by scalpers. Year after year, I just fooled it.
Or you are doing well, you have a car, and you are glad that you will never have to squeeze into the bus again. But if you dare to park randomly, there may be two situations: one is that your wiper is covered with a ticket, and the other is that your car disappears. After you call the police in panic, you will be charged with taking 200 yuan to a traffic police brigade with relevant documents and then go to an old man in a parking lot to pick up the car.
In short, in Shanghai, you have to pay when the car stops. If you stop wrong, you pay more, and if you stop right, you pay less.
I used butter paint to draw a few grids on the people's land, directed the people to put the cars into the grid, and then charged the people's parking fee at a price of 10 yuan/hour. I don't know what the logic is. I remember when I was a child, the teacher told us that the people are the masters of the land. Now, it has changed. Maybe this is the so-called harmonious society.
Supper maket in a harmonious society is not harmonious. I have been to about 30 supermarkets in Shanghai. I, Zhang Noiciao, can tell TV viewers across the country responsibly that 98% of the supermarket salesmen in Shanghai are middle-aged women, and based on their performance, I can infer that they suffer from varying degrees of "menstrual irregularity".
You can imagine how cruel it would be to our consumers when a woman in this age becomes a salesperson when she becomes a salesperson! So I said that Shanghai supermarkets solved the reemployment problem of most women with secondary menopause. After they were laid off, they started working again and had something to do, which greatly alleviated their family conflicts, but what followed was also brought certain discord to our whole society.
Once, my friend Xiao Bian and I went to a small supermarket to buy shampoo. After searching for a while, I couldn’t find shampoo. So Xiao Bian said to a salesperson: Where is the shampoo? The salesperson muttered a few words in Shanghai dialect impatiently, but we didn’t understand. Xiao Bian asked again humbly and embarrassedly: Where is the shampoo? As a result, the salesperson said viciously in Mandarin: Just behind, look for it yourself! ! Xiao Bian turned his head and left after hearing this, and cursed: Damn, I won’t wash my hair today.
Nostalgia can also tell you sincerely that every time I go to the supermarket, I am frightened and afraid of offending those salesmen, so I rarely go to the supermarket. I would rather go to the vegetable market than to the supermarket. At least, there are many farmers in the vegetable market who greet me with a smile.
Xiao Bian summarized: Shanghai supermarkets have become the mood gas station for Shanghai sub-healthy women! The discordant shopping environment of Shanghai supermarkets has the most direct and fundamental connection with the discordant situation of middle-aged women in Shanghai's own sexual life! Xiao Bian asked me to name and criticize the following units in this blog post (regardless of ranking): Keti, Haode, Kuaike, Liangyou Jinban, Wu Yuan, Luosen, Quanjia, Hualian, Guangming and other almost all small and medium-sized supermarkets.
These supermarkets are small, but the things are expensive because they know we don’t have time to queue up at the big supermarket. I don’t know why they are expensive. Many small supermarkets don’t even have air conditioners, and the cashier also uses a rice cooker to fill a large pot of tea eggs that have been burning for many days. The radiant chicken sensation soaks every item on the shelves.
Maybe some people think what I said is biased. Many of the salesmen in Shanghai supermarkets are still boys and girls. I admit this, I won’t say that the man is a man. It is worthy of praise for starting a business hard from the bottom, but what about the woman? Through careful observation, we can find that these women are not good-looking, and they are not good-looking at all. Some of them look a bit like men. I have seen a girl salesperson in the Agricultural Industrial and Commercial Supermarket. No matter how you look at it, how you look like Zhao Benshan when he was young.
Where have all the beautiful women gone? Beautiful women cannot be salesmen, and beautiful women are natural consumers. This is Shanghai.
Nanjing is a city that touched me. If you don’t talk about other supermarkets, I will just talk about the “Suguo Supermarket” in Nanjing. 90% of the cashiers are unmarried girls. I am a person who shows mercy everywhere. To be honest, I have really liked at least 20 Suguo cashiers. Whether this kind of love lasts for 10 minutes, one night or one month, in my heart, such love is sincere.
The cashier in Shanghai is just a machine, and the cashier in Nanjing can be my girlfriend. I once missed the "Suguo Supermarket" because of the look of a girl cashier in "Suguo Supermarket". During that time, I went there twice a day, and I bought a bottle of milk every time, so that I could say a few words to her or take a look. She knew I loved her and didn't hate me, but I never said it because I had a girlfriend at that time. Later, I delayed the date of leaving Nanjing for more than half a year for her. When I left, I didn't say goodbye because I was afraid that we could not help crying.
Doing business in Shanghai is doing business, and no one talks about feelings with you; while you can’t do business in Nanjing, but feelings cannot be left out. The smell of copper in Shanghai is stronger, and the humanity in Nanjing is stronger. Shanghai supermarkets used middle-aged women as salesmen to consider two aspects: one is the low salary, and the other is that they have passed the breastfeeding period, no maternity leave, and no subsidies. However, Nanjing Supermarket is not so clear about it, and they consider consumers' feelings more. Today, I would like to express my gratitude to those unmarried young people who are mediocre.
So I said, no matter how refined Nanjing is, it is not as good as Shanghai.
