Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"Uncle Chunsheng, what you said makes perfect sense!"

Wang Erhai downed another cup and sighed:

"But some things aren't controllable just because they make sense, especially when it comes to desire."

Niu Chunsheng nodded; he knew Wang Erhai's words also held truth.

Never mind beauty — just this online game thing, how many people get hooked and simply cannot quit.

"For this kind of situation, the best method is to cut off the source of temptation."

"How to cut it off?" Wang Erhai asked urgently.

Niu Chunsheng gave a bitter smile:

"I'm not too clear on that either. The most fatal part is, Liguo Mountain isn't run by you alone. Now that the song and dance troupe is already established, I'm afraid it's impossible to abolish it just because of one person's opinion. Besides, you can't possibly leave Liguo Mountain right now — it's in its rising phase, and leaving at this point would mean enormous losses."

Wang Erhai let out a long breath and fell silent.

Niu Chunsheng then said:

"Erhai, some things others can't help you with; only you yourself can find a way to solve them."

"What if I can't find a solution?" Wang Erhai looked at Niu Chunsheng.

"Then you can only sink into it, and let family and career turn into a complete mess."

Niu Chunsheng suddenly smiled:

"Fortunately you don't have kids yet. Even if you ruin the marriage, it won't be that torturous — worst case, just get a divorce."

Wang Erhai murmured instead:

"I finally found such a good woman in Yueran; how could I possibly divorce her……"

"Since you know that, then keep your lower half in check."

That night Wang Erhai and Niu Chunsheng talked a lot, yet still found no solution to the problem.

He didn't blame Niu Chunsheng; Niu Chunsheng was right — this is a heart sickness, he has to overcome it himself, no one can help him!

That night he returned home drunk; Zhang Yueran made him sobering tea, brought hot water to wipe his body and soak his feet. Though his eyes were bleary with drink, his mind was exceptionally clear.

Seeing this, he felt even more self-reproach.

He silently cursed himself as not human, a mere beast.

"Don't drink that much in the future. If you ruin your health, what then? At worst we just stop earning that money."

Zhang Yueran spoke while wiping his face with a hot towel.

Before leaving work, Wang Erhai had told her there was a social drinking event tonight and he'd be back late.

She thought Wang Erhai had gone drinking with partners again, which was why she said those words.

"Wife, you're so good……"

Wang Erhai looked at Zhang Yueran, his gaze carrying complex emotions.

"I'm your wife; treating you well is normal, isn't it? Am I supposed to go treat other men well?"

Zhang Yueran's tone was thoroughly righteous and confident.

Wang Erhai grinned drunkenly:

"True. You make perfect sense. I'll treat you well too…… for a lifetime……"

Wang Erhai took the initiative to kiss Zhang Yueran; Zhang Yueran complained:

"Your mouth reeks of alcohol……"

Yet she didn't push him away, instead half-reluctantly, half-willingly went along with Wang Erhai.

The next morning, on his way to the company, Wang Erhai told himself he could no longer be tempted by the company's song and dance troupe; he had to find a way to sever all improper thoughts!

As it happened, the company was holding an early meeting today.

All the executives were present.

After Huo Guoqiang finished speaking at the meeting, he asked if anyone else had something to say.

A thought flashed through Wang Erhai's mind, and without a second thought he raised his hand:

"General Manager Huo, I have a proposal to make!"

"Director Wang, please speak!" Huo Guoqiang wore a smile on his face.

He now already regarded Wang Erhai as one of his own people, because in his view Wang Erhai had already slept with Zhou Xiaotong, which amounted to having leverage in his hands — he certainly wouldn't dare do anything against his will.

However, Wang Erhai's proposal still caught him by surprise!

Wang Erhai said:

"The company recently established a Public Relations Department, that is, the song and dance troupe. The troupe's original purpose was to serve as a sharp tool for external PR. I personally believe that to keep this blade sharp enough and prevent it from turning against our own company, it's best to set a rule regulating the conduct between troupe members and company employees!"

Huo Guoqiang asked:

"What rule do you think should be set, Director Wang?"

Wang Erhai said:

"Prohibit company employees from having physical or emotional entanglements with the song and dance troupe. If discovered, regardless of the reason, regardless of who approached whom first, both parties get fired! Of course, this rule takes effect starting today; past occurrences can be let bygones be bygones!"

The moment Wang Erhai's words fell, all the company executives showed displeasure.

Isn't this reckless?

This bunch of big shots all considered the song and dance troupe a major hidden benefit for slaving away at this company!

Huo Guoqiang's expression didn't look too good either!

He established this Song and Dance Troupe not only for external public relations but also for internal public relations; this was his method of rallying the management, and it had just begun to be put to use — how could it be scrapped? Impossible!

Wu Moli's face also lacked a smile; it was very obvious she disagreed with Wang Erhai's proposal as well. Now she was the Public Relations Department's Responsible Person, she held this sharp weapon in her grasp, and her first objective was to use this sharp weapon to pull all the Company's senior management into her camp!

So now prohibiting the Song and Dance Troupe and management personnel from associating — how could that be possible?

In other words, Wang Erhai's proposal, slapped together on the spur of the moment, not only failed to gain anyone's agreement in the Conference Room but also managed to offend everyone completely!

"General Manager Wang, how did you suddenly think of establishing this Regulation?"

Huo Guoqiang's expression was complex; he asked this one Sentence with great curiosity.

He truly couldn't understand why Wang Erhai would make such an offensive proposal at a Company meeting, such a public occasion!

If he really felt this Regulation needed to be established, he could have privately discussed it with Huo Guoqiang first, waited until the two reached a consensus, and then brought it up at the meeting.

Now with Wang Erhai suddenly proposing it like this, to tell the truth, he really didn't know how to speak up for Wang Erhai.

Wang Erhai had already faintly sensed something was wrong, but water spilled cannot be retrieved; he could only brace himself and Explain:

"General Manager Huo, this is the same Principle as office romance — it cannot improve the Company's work efficiency, and on the contrary would cause internal chaos. So I feel that before the situation has deteriorated, it is very necessary to establish this Regulation; this is called prevention before it happens!"

Huo Guoqiang felt Wang Erhai's words had some Reason.

But having Reason doesn't mean it's Right.

For Huo Guoqiang right now, winning people's hearts was obviously more important than internal personnel attacking each other.

Because if he didn't win hearts soon, people might all run over to Wu Moli's side!

Last Time during the Public Relations Department Leader election, he originally wanted his Nephew Huo Zhi Hui to take the post, but Wu Moli suddenly burst onto the scene, catching him completely off guard — this gave him a tremendous sense of crisis!

Now he allows Executives to make moves on the Song and Dance Troupe women; those Executives will only thank him, not Wu Moli!

After all, although the Song and Dance Troupe was single-handedly built by Wu Moli, it was he, Huo Guoqiang, who proposed its establishment and provided the money and effort!

At this moment, Huo Zhi Hui suddenly spoke up; he said to Wang Erhai with Sarcasm/Irony:

"May I ask General Manager Wang, is this Regulation you mention aimed at all Company members, or are certain people exceptions?"
