It makes me sick to my stomach just looking at it.

  Here is the translation:

  Chapter 26 made me feel nauseous. I wasn't sick for long, and it wasn't a serious illness to begin with. I was back to my usual self in no time, and went back to work with renewed energy.

  When I arrived at the company, Lu Xu was surprised by how quickly I had recovered. Just a few days ago, he thought I was on the verge of being hospitalized, but now I was back at work as if nothing had happened. He asked me if I wanted to take it easy for another couple of days, but I said no need, that I was like a wild grass - no matter how much rain or wind came my way, as long as there was spring breeze, I would always bounce back.

  Lu Xu said he knew I was really better now. Just then, the phone rang - it was Weiwei calling to invite me to her new bar for a drink that night, and she said Wenjing would be there too. I said sure thing, I'd definitely go.

  When it was time to leave work, I asked Lu Xu if he wanted to come with me to the bar and meet my two good friends. Lu Xu said he didn't have time, that he had work to do. I teased him, saying he was really no fun, and that if he got married, his brain would turn into mush within half a year.

  After saying that, I swaggered out of the office, and as soon as I turned the corner, I took off running down the hallway. I figured Lu Xu wouldn't understand what had just happened. Sure enough, I soon heard the sound of chairs moving in his office, followed by the door opening, and Lu Xu chasing after me to beat me up - but I was already safely inside the elevator.

  That night, I dressed up according to Weiwei's instructions, which were "dress as wildly as possible", and headed to her new bar. The bar was located in Sanlitun, and I told Weiwei that Sanlitun wasn't popular anymore, that nowadays young people didn't go there - only some middle-aged men who thought they were emperors.

  Weiwei looked down on me, saying I didn't understand the market trends. She said that investing was all about making bold moves when things were at their lowest point. Weiwei's business ventures were always unconventional and daring - she had started out in advertising, then moved into film and television, and now she was running a bar.

  I took a taxi to the bar, and along the way, I saw many young girls dressed in revealing clothes, showing off their bodies in the Beijing air. I sat in the car, looking at these fresh flowers blooming everywhere, and couldn't help but feel that people get old and out of touch.

  The other day, I had met a young girl born in 1987 online, and I tried to strike up a conversation with her by pretending to be innocent and pure. But she shot back with a sentence that left me speechless - "Who still remembers their first love? I only remember my ** (a slang term for breasts)". I almost spit out water all over my computer.

  Weiwei's new bar was decorated in a wild and crazy style, and as soon as I walked in, I saw a woman with long legs dancing on stage, writhing like a snake. "Long-legged woman" was what Wenjing called her - she said it was a form of synecdoche, where one part represented the whole.

  The music in the bar was deafening, and everyone had to shout to be heard. I pushed my way into the innermost private room, knowing that Weiwei and Wenjing would be there. But when I got inside, I saw not only them, but also Gu Xiaobei, Yao Shanshan, Bai Song, Xiao Mei, and a whole bunch of people I didn't recognize.

  I was taken aback for a moment, thinking I had walked into the wrong room. Weiwei pulled me over to sit next to Wenjing, while she herself went to sit next to Yao Shanshan. Wenjing was eating watermelon at the time, and gave me a vague greeting that sounded like a grunt.

  Yao Shanshan was very respectful towards Weiwei, probably because she had heard of her reputation - anyone in the advertising industry who knew what was going on would know Weiwei's name. Weiwei couldn't resist Yao Shanshan's flattery, and the two of them were soon calling each other "sister" - it made me feel nauseous just watching them.
