Lin Feng's ex‑girlfriend is a young woman who breaks up with him at the very beginning of the story. She calls Lin Feng and, after a long silence, tells him she wants to end the relationship. Her reason is that his monthly salary of three or four thousand yuan is not enough for her, as it is less than what she earns and cannot even cover her makeup expenses. She also finds his job disgusting because he always smells like garbage and sewage, which embarrasses her in front of her friends. She calls him a poor loser and says that many guys want to date her. After hanging up, she blocks Lin Feng's number. Her materialistic and unsupportive attitude contrasts with Lin Feng’s later success, though she does not appear again in the provided text.
