In this bustling, noisy, bizarre modern city, skyscrapers lined up, endless traffic, seems to be a prosperous scene, but actually hides a myriad of unknown dark corners of human nature. A grand high-end business party in the city center is like a glittering feast of fame and fortune, the scene is lit up like daytime, the bright crystal chandeliers shed light on people's well-groomed faces and gorgeous dazzling costumes, people holding champagne glasses, each other seem to be enthusiastic about exchanging pleasantries and socializing, and laughter echoes in the spacious hall, however, behind the seemingly sincere smiles, it seems to be hiding layers and layers of elusive minds, each and every one of them has a hidden secret. Behind the seemingly sincere smiles, however, there seemed to be layers and layers of inscrutable thoughts, and everyone was carefully weighing the pros and cons, secretly calculating what kind of benefits and opportunities this party could bring to them.

Xiong Yufang, a woman whose soul had been devoured by selfishness and greed, wore a dress made of rough fabrics and cut to imitate fashionable styles, the color of which appeared a bit dull under the light, in stark contrast to the brightness of the people around her. Her hair was pulled back in a slightly disheveled manner, and a few strands of broken hair fell down by her cheeks, further accentuating the eagerness and cunningness in her eyes. She was like a hungry wolf that had been searching for food in the darkness for a long time and finally caught the scent of her prey, weaving in and out of the crowd with ease, and her gaze was like a keen eagle's eye, eagerly searching for contacts that she could utilize. Her heart was filled with desire, secretly thinking: "In this realistic and almost cruel world, morality and bottom line are nothing more than the bondage of the weak, as long as I can get along with those rich and powerful people, I can completely change my destiny, and live a good life that I have always dreamed of. What kind of uneasy conscience, I don't care."

At this moment, Xiao Xue was standing in the middle of a group of people, like a proud peacock, showing off her fictional gorgeous feathers to her heart's content. Her posture was erect, her head slightly tilted, and her eyes glittered with vanity. Her long, well-tended hair fell softly over her shoulders, swaying gently as she moved, as if telling of her nobility. She was wearing a pricey dress that was cut just right to outline the curves of her figure, the hem of which swayed gently with her steps, each step showing the confidence she wanted to display. She wore a large diamond ring on her finger, which flashed blindingly under the light, and the light seemed to proclaim her so-called honorable status to the world. She was bragging about her fake "rich family background". "Let me tell you, I graduated from one of the world's top overseas schools. The threshold of that school was frighteningly high, but I was easily accepted by virtue of my own excellence and my family's influence. My family's family business, that's a giant in the industry, the scale is huge beyond your imagination, and the business spreads to every corner of every prosperous city in the world." As she said that, she slightly raised her slender fingers and gently ruffled the hair around her ears, the corners of her mouth rose, revealing a smug smile, her eyes scanning over the faces of the crowd, eager to draw more nourishment to satisfy her vanity from their eyes filled with envy and marvel.

Xiong Yufang's ears were pointed, as if she had installed a precise radar, and instantly captured Xiao Xue's words that were full of bragging rights. Her eyes instantly lit up, as if two bright lights were suddenly lit, and a burst of ecstasy welled up in her heart: ''Haha, it's true that the emperor is not responsible for the people who are willing to do so, and the opportunity that I've been searching for has finally come. This woman is so capable of blowing, she must have quite a lot of money, as long as I am skillful enough, I will definitely be able to reap untold benefits from her." She immediately stopped her steps and stood still to quickly straighten her wrinkled clothes, trying to make herself look slightly more decent. Immediately afterward, a fawning to the extreme smile piled up on her face, a smile that was like sticky honey, making people look at it and not be able to help but feel disgusted. With small, broken steps, she quickly and slightly eagerly took the initiative to go forward and strike up a conversation. "Wow, you are the famous Ms. Xiao Xue, right? Aiya aiya, I've really heard of you for a long time! It's really a great honor for me to see you here today." Xiong Yufang's voice was so sweet that it was greasy, and every word seemed to be carefully crafted, deliberately dragging out the endings, sounding particularly exaggerated. Xiao Xue was dazed by this sudden, passionate and flattering praise, and the vanity in her heart was like being injected with a shot of powerful stimulant, and was greatly satisfied. She slightly raised her head, with the corner of her eye quickly and contemptuously measured Xiong Yufang, saw her that body of simple and even some shabby dress, although the heart flashed a trace of disdain, but heard Xiong Yufang that is full of admiration and adoration of the words, but still feel immensely flattered, vanity as a balloon general rapidly expanding. So, she gently tossed her hair, the corner of her mouth hooked up a seemingly elegant smile, and then she was also happy to talk with Xiong Yufang.

The two stood there chatting one by one, Xiong Yufang can be said to be racking her brain, using all her strength, constantly catering to Xiao Xue's topic. Xiao Xue mentioned fashion trends, talking about those international brands of new clothing and limited edition bags, although Xiong Yufang's understanding of these brands in her heart is pitifully small, but she pretended to look like a family favorite, her eyes wide open, interrupting Xiao Xue from time to time, eagerly said: "Wow, I know what you're talking about, and that design is simply too unique, only people with taste like you know how to appreciate it. Only people with taste like you know how to appreciate it." When Xiao Xue talked about high-end tourism, describing her own luxury travel experiences in European countries, those ancient castles, famous rivers and luxury hotels, Xiong Yufang's eyes widened, with an incomparable envious look on her face, and her mouth kept saying, "Wow, that must be like a dreamy experience! I haven't had the chance to go there in my life, you are truly blessed." Xiao Xue, on the other hand, was completely immersed in the joy of being courted, and the more she talked, the more energized she became, as if she was really the princess with endless wealth and noble origins, unreservedly sharing with Xiong Yufang the details of her own concocted luxurious life. Xiong Yufang pretended to be amazed, while secretly calculating in her heart: "Hmph, just keep on making it up, see how long you can pretend. When I get to the bottom of your details, you will have a good time, and then all your money will be mine." At the end of the party, the two left each other's contact information, and also agreed to play together often in the future. Xiong Yufang looked at Xiao Xue's departing back, a hint of greed and complacency flashed in those eyes, the corner of her mouth hooked up with an imperceptible cold smile, silently thinking in her heart, "The fish has already taken the bait, the next step is to see how I will slowly reel in the net, and eat you up to the point that you don't even have any bones left."
