Protagonist:
Li Xiulan
"Wang Dashan, you're back!"
Du Xiaojuan shouted at Wang Dashan's retreating figure.
Wang Dashan halted his footsteps, turned back to look at Du Xiaojuan, his gaze cold:
"I don't want your money anymore, so what else do you want? That's right, before marriage we signed a prenuptial agreement, dividing our respective assets clearly and plainly. You value money above everything else, so how could you care about me, your husband in name only?"
Wang Dashan's words were very harsh to the ear.
As if Du Xiaojuan were some cold, heartless, scheming woman.
This made Du Xiaojuan truly saddened:
"You said you wanted 2 million, I can give you 5 million, how am I valuing money above everything else! I'm saving you, you know? If it were anyone else, you think I'd make a peep! You're already standing at the edge of a cliff right now, have you realized it or not?"
Du Xiaojuan's words carried despair, carried a desperate cry.
When it comes down to it, the two of them are fundamentally not on the same level anymore.
Although their education was the same, although they had both once been at the bottom.
But as time passed, as careers developed, the gap between the two grew wider and wider.
An unbridgeable chasm also appeared in their cognition.
This chasm formed a barrier in their communication.
What Du Xiaojuan said to Wang Dashan was naturally for Wang Dashan's own good, yet every time it wounded Wang Dashan's self-esteem, making Wang Dashan feel that Du Xiaojuan was just standing there talking without her back aching.
And Wang Dashan's every performance before Du Xiaojuan could be said to have disappointed Du Xiaojuan time and again; Du Xiaojuan simply couldn't understand what Wang Dashan still had to blindly fuss about!
As long as everything listened to her, Wang Dashan could steadily earn money in business, the two could also achieve a reluctant synchronization in career, and life wouldn't have so much friction.
But Wang Dashan just wouldn't listen to her, as if she, Du Xiaojuan, would be the death of him!
One can only say that as long as a man puts so-called self-esteem, so-called face, in the first position to consider, then many times the decisions he makes will no longer follow the optimal solution.
This is also the first major obstacle that the poor at the bottom must overcome to turn their lives around!
The lower the bottom, the more unable to let go of face, the more impossible to escape the bottom!
If Wang Dashan hadn't met Du Xiaojuan early on, hadn't married Du Xiaojuan, to put it unpleasantly, he'd probably have ended up as a security guard in a residential complex by now!
Although he had once founded Shanhai Real Estate, and had once counted as having achieved certain results.
But now with the development of the times, competition among real estate agencies has become white-hot, plus the emergence of internet property agency platforms like Beike and Anjuke, which have stripped the physical agencies and brought a major reshuffle to the agency platforms — can he survive in this cruel competition?
Very obviously he cannot!
Because this year that Shanhai Real Estate of his can only barely maintain a break-even.
And this is still on the premise that Du Xiaojuan introduced quite a few client sources over!
Of course, Wang Dashan can make the excuse that his current focus isn't on Shanhai Real Estate, he's put most of his energy into the Wanjia Commodities business, and another large part into property speculation; at Shanhai Real Estate he's practically become a hands-off shopkeeper, only occasionally going back to look at financial statements.
But in fact even if he went back, it wouldn't change much of the trend.
Who knows, blindly meddling might even make the company decline even faster!
"Wang Dashan, wake up, don't go speculating on property anymore, if not for anything else then for your son who was just born not long ago!"
Du Xiaojuan shouted at Wang Dashan.
She really wanted to pull Wang Dashan back.
Wang Dashan's eyes reddened; for a moment he didn't know what to say.
In this single thought, his life's direction would be decided.
Whether to listen to Du Xiaojuan, put down face and dignity, admit his own mediocrity and incompetence.
Or still act on his own initiative, headstrong and insisting on risking it once more?
Wang Dashan ultimately chose the latter:
"I said it, I don't want your 5 million. The money problem, I'll solve it myself!"
Finished speaking, Wang Dashan left in quick steps, not looking back.
After going out, his heart grew even more resentful.
He swore he would fiercely prove himself!
He's no worse than Du Xiaojuan!
He alone can also run a business well!
And Du Xiaojuan, her heart was full of despair, pitying his misfortune, angry at his failure to strive!
In her anger, she couldn't help but feel some self-blame, even reflecting on whether her own communication methods weren't good enough, which was why this pillow-side person of hers couldn't listen to a single word she said?
But, since they're the closest person, shouldn't some words just be said directly? Why bother beating around the bush!
Besides, she really is doing it for Wang Dashan's own good!
To prove this point!
Although Wang Dashan clearly expressed he didn't want her money!
She still acted on her own initiative and transferred 5 million into Wang Dashan's bank card!
And left a message on the transfer:
"Handle this money however you want. If something happens outside, don't bottle it up alone like a sealed jar; tell me the first time."
Wang Dashan received this money, his nose couldn't help but turn sour.
The emotions in his heart became incomparably complex.
He also began to reflect on himself, wondering if his self-esteem had been too overbearing when facing his own wife.
However, his determination to flip houses had not changed in the slightest because of this.
He quickly stowed away those messy emotions and hurriedly contacted Hu Wanjia, saying he could go flip urban renewal properties with him.
Hu Wanjia pulled him into a group and introduced him to the other house-flipping team members in the group.
Then they agreed to meet offline tonight; they would discuss in detail how to flip and which housing sources to flip when they met.
In a blink, evening arrived, and Wang Dashan drove to the designated location.
Hu Wanjia and the other two people had already arrived early.
Hu Wanjia introduced these two to Wang Dashan: one was a tall, thin middle-aged man named Ou Jun, the helmsman of a certain private equity fund; the other was named Zhang Fei, a Guangzhou native, whose family was among the first batch of demolition households in Guangzhou's urban renewal. Because he sniffed out a business opportunity and knew the inside information, he used the money obtained from the first demolition to buy old houses, and through repeated such operations, he now holds over a hundred resettlement houses and a huge amount of demolition compensation — truly rolling in wealth!
Of course, this is all just Hu Wanjia's one-sided introduction.
As for whether the real situation is like this, there is no way to know.
After all, empty words carry no proof!
Hu Wanjia introduced Wang Dashan to Ou Jun and Zhang Fei, then said:
"Two big brothers, Dashan is my Wanjia Commodities partner; his character is absolutely reliable. This is his first time playing urban renewal, so please take care of him!"
Ou Jun laughed:
"Brother Hu, you're being too polite! We're all connections!"
Zhang Fei then said:
"Since we're all connections, let's not say outsider words!"
Then he raised his cup:
【78】 "I'll drink first as a toast! You all do as you please!"
"I'll drink first as a toast! You All do as you please!"
Zhang Fei drank it up in one go!
Ou Jun and Hu Wanjia also raised their cups and drank it up in one go!
Wang Dashan naturally also hurriedly downed it in one kiss!
Then he also very tactfully helped pour wine, filling the cups for the three big brothers and filling his own, then proactively proposed a toast:
"Various big brothers, thanks for leading me in; this cup, I'll drink it!"
Wang Dashan downed it in one kiss again!
The others all laughed out loud, then also followed with a one-kiss down!
Everyone present was a drinking expert; drinking 53-degree Flying Fairy Moutai was like drinking plain boiled water, one cup after another going down the gullet!
