　　I had no scam to operate so I had to get an honest job. Ah-Xian helped me find one， a sales manager at a food company. The basic salary was only 1，500 yuan plus commissions and bonuses， but with meals and accommodation included. My task was to sell the company's products to supermarkets and restaurants in the town and surrounding areas. Because I was a newcomer unfamiliar with the environment， I was very hard working， very cautious and careful in every respect.　　My sales record was the lowest in the company for the first month but it rose to the second in month three. The boss and his wife were very satisfied with the job I was doing.　　The boss was a 40-something man from Chaozhou. His skin was a bit dark， but apart from that he could be perfect： hard working， handsome， kind and responsible. His wife was quite exceptional too.　　But for some unknown reason， the most trivial little thing would cause a blazing row.　　One day the two of them were actually fighting in the office. I asked a colleague why and learned that a chain-store company the boss's wife had secured as a customer refused to buy our products anymore. Squeezed out by another supplier in the field， our company suffered a big loss， since that chain had 29 affiliated supermarkets.　　She had tried several times to win back its business but failed every time. When things were bad between them， their every utterance was moody; every conversation soon erupted into a row. Strong　　personalities both of them， they were quick to go on the offensive.　　Deciding to help them to get that chain business back， I volunteered and told the boss I wanted to give it a try. He replied dismissively that it would be simply a waste of time. Refusing to be discouraged， I asked him if he could just tell me the name of that company's head and how to contact him.　　……

　　We live in an age of emotionalism， falsity appears true， so that what seems true will be false. How do you know who really has true feelings？ Which man can you believe？ I am really afraid of marriage. I feel more and more convinced that spinsterhood is the only safe option： it avoids trouble， and keeps life safe and straightforward.　　——Liu Yue Age：28 Head of the administrative office of a real estate company　　　　More and more women these days are daring， like I am， to stay unmarried for the sake of true love; but few dare admit it openly， and actually do all in their power to cover it up， so that you don't get to know about many. Perhaps my emotional course may come under attack from some quarters， but I believe more and more people will understand me. Some people may not appear to support my way of life， but deep down will understand and endorse it. After all， our traditional education has deeply influenced several generations of us. I can understand why people do not understand me.　　——Liu Qingqing Age：29 Freelancer　　　　As time goes by I long more than ever to find a true love and get married， and I ache to have a real home of my own. But I've failed to meet even one man who could give me his heart. Many of my girl friends often claim-especially in the presence of men that they are single by deliberate choice， but in fact they are just like me-and very lonely. We need emotional warmth and comfort more than do young girls and married wives.　　——Ma Xiaofei Age：36 Cosmetics saleswoman
