Ad seeking mistress irks collegians
More than 50 advertising posters seeking a mistress that were placed in several Beijing arts colleges, including the prestigious Central Academy of Drama, have triggered fierce criticism.
The ads, placed by a man calling himself "Piao Ge", who claims to have won 13.83 million yuan ($2 million) in a sports lottery on Feb 20, call for a pretty and shapely mistress 18 to 22 years old. He promises a daily salary of 2,000 yuan to "ensure my lady can show off her famous brand costumes to her friends".
A man surnamed Huang, contacted through the telephone number listed on the ads, told METRO yesterday he is serving as an agent for "Piao Ge" and is paid 2,000 yuan per day for his part-time job as a beauty hunter. "I'm a computer salesman and work at a store near the Central Academy of Drama," Huang said. "A friend introduced me to 'Piao Ge' and then I started my agent work."
