Shanghai in the daytime, is dignified and energetic, all the time to create wealth to promote development, to the beginning of the neon, this city known as the magic city is replaced by another called enchanting skin, still not a trace of sleepiness, as if this day has just begun. All kinds of bars and nightclubs, full of all kinds of beautiful women, and their charming eyes exude the atmosphere of temptation, which constitute the soul of these nightclubs, attracting countless eyes of the opposite sex and even the same sex.

Our story is about the experience of a group of Shanghai girls. Girls are born with the skill of making girlfriends to form small groups, and the members of this small group may not be completely heart-to-heart with each other, but they can't be separated. Today's girlfriends will no longer talk about each other as much as they did when they were studying, but they must be able to communicate with each other, of course, the most talked about and the most frequent summing up is two words - gossip. Gossip in the entertainment industry, gossip between colleagues, gossip about friends, in addition, as if it is customary, as long as the girlfriend party does not show up, then talk about the gossip of the person who does not appear. As for why there is gossip, no one knows or wants to know, anyway, this is the story between a woman and a woman's best friend, her best friend.

Yang Xiaoman is one of the members of this girlfriend group, 24 years old. This native of the magic capital girl, is the only daughter in the family, currently working as a secretary in a foreign-funded company, watching Korean dramas, wearing the current popular Korean professional clothes, not a set, but they are all carefully matched, with Takada Kensan one flower perfume, fresh and delicate nude makeup. The first thing she does when she gets her salary every month is to pay off her credit card account for the previous month. She can eat instant noodles and rice for a bag for several months in a row, and then squeeze the subway with the bag she bought with the money she worked hard to save, and of course, she will do her best to protect this hard-won bag when she squeezes the subway. Yang Xiaoman buys things, whether it is bags or accessories, most of them are just the basic entry models of first-line big brands, occasionally see a very favorite new style of the season, to think about it for a long time, after pulling the weeds, it will be distressed for a long time, put it at home for a good life, only when it comes to important occasions will it be used, but this so-called important occasion is not too much, and it has become an old model out of season after two times.

It may be difficult for many people to understand, but this is the characteristic of women in this city, they can eat as they like in private, they can not buy books or newspapers, but they must buy luxury goods. In their words, this is called life attitude, spending their own money independently, buying their own things, and it is precisely because of this that there are more and more luxury stores in this city, of course, girls like Yang Xiaoman will not buy in this city, their goal is to buy on behalf of others in Europe, so that their income can maximize the purchase of luxury goods, which is also the lifestyle of women in this city.

Yang Xiaoman is still single. Like most parents in this city, Yang Xiaoman's parents didn't let her fall in love when she was studying, and always said that it would affect her studies, so Yang Xiaoman tried her best to get a second-rate undergraduate and graduate. And as soon as she graduated and stepped into society, her parents felt that the books of the past few years seemed to be useless, and it was still so difficult to find a job. But the question is - what about men? After entering the society, Yang Xiaoman was busy with all fours, the tense work rhythm of foreign companies made her have no time to take care of her emotional life, in the face of her parents' nagging all day long, she had to come home later and later, and the place where she spent time was a small bar on the street of the famous bar - NEVEROVER.

Here she can relax from the stress of the day, occasionally drink a glass of spirits like Long Island Iced Tea, often carry a bottle of Bacardi or Bingrui premix, and of course she won't refuse if a man asks her for a cup or a Granger. But more often than not, she will drink some Bailey, a sweet wine that is popular with women, with her best friends, and talk about gossip, men and girlfriends who are not present. Yang Xiaoman herself doesn't know what she likes to drink, just like her, she is new to the workplace and has not yet been finalized.

And there were two people with her on this day, one was named Fang Lina, 35 years old, who served as the regional marketing director of a large multinational group, wearing a high-end professional suit, carrying a Chanel and Prada bag, and the car was a Mercedes-Benz GLE, red. This woman, who is strong and strong in the eyes of others, seems to have no weaknesses to overcome. Fang Lina always dislikes her name and has a strong mark of the times, but there is no way to change it, so she always hopes that others will call her English name in a foreign way: LINA. Lina Fang drinks only single malt whisky on the rocks.

Speaking of which, Fang Lina and Yang Xiaoman should have no intersection, the age difference between the two is too big. It was the bar that made their friendship possible. One night a few years ago, the fledgling Yang Xiaoman tested the water in a bar alone, and met a few unladylike people, just when the royal sister Fang Lina was drinking HIGH, so she reached out and picked up the wine bottle to scare people into a fart. The two became acquainted, Yang Xiaoman regarded Sister Fang as a hero, and Fang Lina sighed that Yang Mei was young and fearless.

The other is Chen Jing, 30 years old, who drinks agave, a strong liquor that ordinary women don't touch, tequila, the national drink of Mexico, with a fierce taste, fermented and distilled with agave, a plant called agave. The most common is Tequila, which strictly stipulates that only blue agave, the best quality of the agave, can be used as a raw material. The traditional way to drink tequila is to sprinkle salt on the back of your hand, hold a small glass of pure tequila with your thumb and forefinger, and use your ring and middle fingers to hold a slice of lemon. Quickly take a sip of salt from the tiger's mouth, then drink the wine down, then take a bite of the lemon slices, and the whole process is done in one go. This kind of wine is so fierce that it is rarely touched by women. Chen Jing is one of the very few women who drink tequila, a freelance, well-known photographer, who usually does some commercial shooting, and will drive her Wrangler around to take pictures in her spare time. When I travel to shoot scenes, I like to wear cool black, comb ponytails, wear a lot of silver jewelry, and jeans and cotton and linen clothes when I shoot commercially, which is casual and a bit literary. At this moment, she has suspenders, hot pants, beautiful curves, tied with a small dreadlock, painted with little smoke, like a bad girl. Chen Jing was helping Fang Lina take pictures at a marketing event, the two met, and felt that they had a good chat, so they joined a small group.

In this girlfriend group, there is also a woman named Liu Qian. Liu Qian is 27 years old, beautiful and atmospheric, her current occupation is a full-time wife, and she only entered a large private company after graduating from university, with a clear goal: fishing Xiaokai. Liu Qian has only one thing to go to work before going to work every day: dress up and dress up, and then let herself appear in front of the big and small bosses beautifully and at the right time, wear a feminine dress in front of the big boss and pretend to be cute in front of the small boss, and then be moderately coquettish, and adhere to the three no's principle of no tea, no, no man. The big boss felt that the girl was well-behaved and the little boss fell in love with this girl's innocence, so the well-behaved and naïve Liu Qian quickly became the company's boss and completed her life goal early, in the eyes of Yang Xiaoman's parents, she was simply a model. Liu Qian drinks a lot of foreign wine, but she is not like Fang Lina who only recognizes single malt whiskey, she drinks XO, and she also touches some red wine when she attends the reception, but she doesn't know much about red wine, so she can eat it. As for how she became a member of the girlfriend group, there is also a story, that year, Liu Qian's little boss took her to talk to Fang Lina about business, I thought that the negotiator of Fang Lina's company was a man, and Liu Qian could play a role, but what I didn't expect to appear was a neat woman, the little boss was hot-headed and secretly called a mistake, who knew that Liu Qian and Fang Lina, two women who love wine, became friends at the dinner table, although the two drank different kinds, but they both admired each other very much, Fang Lina's workplace fight was out of Liu Qian's reach, And Liu Qian's exquisite and clear behavior is something that Fang Lina can't learn, the two women simply hate each other and cherish each other, the business is negotiated, and this friendship is established.

The last member of the girlfriend group, Lin Ruiyu, 33 years old. Lin Ruiyu is a very hard-working person, he got married very early, gave birth to children very early, and similarly, he returned to being single very early. When I fell in love as soon as I went to college, she graduated and broke up, she graduated and got married, her husband started his own business, and he did a little better, and gave birth to a son two years later. However, because of Xu being too tired, Lin Ruiyu's husband died of illness after 5 years of marriage. Then Lin Ruiyu took her son, who was only 3 years old at the time, and opened a small café with the savings left by her husband, supporting herself while taking her son. The café is now in its fifth year, and she can only breathe a sigh of relief after a slight improvement. Lin Ruiyu's café is near Fang Lina's house, because the coffee is good enough, Fang Lina often soaks in it when she has free time, whether it is working or in a daze, she can call the other three people together, and gradually, this place has also become the permanent residence of the girlfriend group. In this way, these five girls with different personalities, jobs, and identities have miraculously become a solid combination, supporting each other and warming each other in this magical city.
