Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

After Wu Moli saw Wang Erhai off, she went to the hotel room to see Zhou Xiaotong.

"General Manager Wu, how come General Manager Wang hasn't come yet?"

Seeing that it was Wu Moli who had come in, Zhou Xiaotong's face revealed a trace of surprise.

Wu Moli wore a smile on her face:

"Xiaotong, General Manager Wang has gone home. You can rest well here tonight, and just go to work as usual tomorrow."

Zhou Xiaotong immediately looked a bit disappointed:

"General Manager Wang isn't coming?"

After all, she had only been specifically chosen by General Manager Wang with great difficulty; she cherished such an opportunity very much.

If she could gain General Manager Wang's favor, then even if she couldn't turn things around and become his official girlfriend in the future, at least her work pressure and financial pressure would be reduced a lot.

Which woman would be willing to shuttle between various drinking parties and dinner tables, letting those men in their forties and fifties ravage her at will?

So being picked by a young man like General Manager Wang naturally became the thing that all the sisters in this PR team looked forward to!

Although General Manager Wang isn't handsome, at least he doesn't have that old-man smell.

"That's right, General Manager Wang isn't coming over."

Wu Moli saw the disappointment on Zhou Xiaotong's face, so she took out a red envelope prepared in advance:

"There's five thousand yuan here. It's a small token of General Manager Wang's appreciation for you. Take it and buy some clothes or cosmetics you like. As for the matter of General Manager Wang not coming here tonight, you mustn't go around blabbering about it, especially you can't let General Manager Huo find out. Do you understand what I mean?"

Displeasure filled Zhou Xiaotong's face, but she still accepted the red envelope:

"Understood. Thank you, General Manager Wu."

"Hehe, what are you thanking me for? This is from General Manager Wang! You should be thanking General Manager Wang!" Wu Moli feigned an enthusiastic laugh.

Zhou Xiaotong didn't think so. She felt that Wang Erhai not coming to favor her tonight was entirely Wu Moli secretly making trouble!

Could it be that this Wu Moli has an unclear relationship with General Manager Wang?

So she couldn't stand General Manager Wang coming to favor her tonight, and secretly used tricks to send General Manager Wang away?

There really is such a possibility!

After all, Wu Moli herself is someone who shuttles between various men; her having that kind of relationship with Wang Erhai is perfectly normal!

Zhou Xiaotong could already barely hold back from wanting to tell this gossip to the other sisters in the song and dance troupe.

Wu Moli only told her not to say that Wang Erhai didn't come to favor her tonight. Now that she's taken the money, she'll definitely keep her mouth shut about that, but she wasn't told not to spread the gossip about Wang Erhai and Wu Moli!

And at this time, on the other side.

After Wang Erhai came out of the hotel, he drove his own car and went home.

Very soon he arrived back at Zhang Yueran's house.

Wang Erhai had drunk a bit too much tonight; his head was dizzy. As soon as he returned, he hurriedly sat on the sofa, and even after resting for a good while he still hadn't recovered.

Zhang Yueran hurriedly went to brew some ginger tea for him to sober him up, and said with concern:

"Every time I tell you not to drink so much, you just won't listen, and you've gotten drunk like this again."

Wang Erhai gave a bitter smile:

"I don't want to drink either, but there's no choice. In my line of work, if you don't drink, you can't move an inch."

Zhang Yueran asked again:

"You wouldn't have driven back after drinking, would you?"

"Yeah, it's late at night, hard to find a three-wheeler." Wang Erhai's eyes were unfocused.

The image of Zhou Xiaotong standing there letting others pick her out, looking nervous and shy, involuntarily floated up in his mind.

"Drunk driving is very dangerous. Don't do this again next time!" Zhang Yueran nagged with concern, and also said: "Recently the crackdown on drunk driving is a bit strict. If you get caught, you won't be able to drive ever again!"

Wang Erhai was absent-minded:

"I was just thinking, it's not that far anyway. It takes less than ten minutes to drive back. Besides, it's late at night; who would check for drunk driving?"

Zhang Yueran said:

"Anyway, abiding by the law is the most basic thing."

But Wang Erhai said:

"If you're too rule-abiding, you'll never make money in your whole life."

He had seen too many things in this line of work; he couldn't even think of a single deal that was won by following the rules.

The bigger the business, the more it's about exchange of interests, the more rules are disregarded.

Seeing too much of this kind of thing gives people an illusion: rules are made to constrain the bottom-level people into working honestly. If a boss still follows rules honestly, there's only a dead end!

"We don't need to make that much money. Having enough to spend is fine! Look, we have a house and a car now, we're married. Just live well from now on. Why do we need to make so much money? Life is only thirty thousand days. Doing what you like, doing meaningful things, far surpasses making money!"

Zhang Yueran finished brewing the ginger tea and brought it to Wang Erhai.

Wang Erhai smiled:

"Look at you, lecturing again. You're a Chinese teacher teaching students at school, and you come back to be my Chinese teacher too."

Zhang Yueran hurriedly said:

"I'm just afraid you'll go down the wrong path!"

Wang Erhai fell silent, just looking at Zhang Yueran with unfocused eyes.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yueran was a bit baffled. "Why do I feel you're a bit weird today?"

"Wife, didn't you say after we get married we can do that? But it's been so long since we got the certificate, we still haven't..."

Wang Erhai suddenly brought up this matter.

Zhang Yueran was stunned.

They indeed had never had that kind of intimate exchange.

Although they had long been living together under one roof, they were each busy with their own things.

Zhang Yueran had to grade student homework when she came back in the evening, generally busy until very late before resting.

Wang Erhai was busy with work matters, sometimes returning as late as nine or ten PM, and didn't have much mind to consider that kind of thing.

Even on March 14th, the day they got the certificate, Zhang Yueran went back to school after getting it, Wang Erhai went back to the company to work after getting it, only that evening the two went out together to eat a meal, as a celebration, and didn't do anything else.

"Why suddenly bring up this matter..."

Zhang Yueran clearly wasn't prepared, her expression somewhat flustered.

Wang Erhai stood up to kiss her, Zhang Yueran half-pushing half-accepting:

"I still have to get up early tomorrow..."

Wang Erhai was quite forceful, not paying attention to her resistance.

But this forcefulness of his didn't make Zhang Yueran feel aversion, instead made Zhang Yueran a bit expectant.

Actually ever since getting the certificate, she had also thought about wanting to have that kind of exchange with Wang Erhai, but Wang Erhai never brought it up, and she as a woman couldn't take the initiative to speak up.

Wang Erhai picked up Zhang Yueran and went back to the room.

Hurriedly went to the bedside table to find condoms.

Zhang Yueran said instead:

"Don't look, there's fundamentally none of that stuff prepared at home."

Wang Erhai hurriedly said: "Then I'll go downstairs to buy."

Zhang Yueran pulled him back instead:

"Don't..."

Zhang Yueran's face flushed red, even redder than Wang Erhai after drinking alcohol.

She panted slightly, appearing somewhat nervous:

"This is my first time, I hope we can have even closer contact..."

Zhang Yueran closed her eyes, she felt she could barely breathe.

Clearly overly nervous.

Wang Erhai only then remembered, Zhang Yueran had said before, she always refused premarital sexual behavior, this also caused her to hit walls everywhere during blind dates and finding a partner.

Wang Erhai seeing her like this, his inner heart couldn't help but feel some guilt.

Because it was because Zhou Xiaotong's expression floated up in his mind, plus alcohol's catalytic effect, that he had this impulse.
