Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

At eight-thirty in the morning, Liu Yumeng came to work.

She wore a face full of fatigue; the moment she stepped through the door, the look she gave Wang Xiaohua revealed a trace of complaint.

Wang Xiaohua acted as if he didn't see her gaze, and even feigned concern:

"Yumeng, wasn't it agreed that you'd take half a day off this morning? How come you came?"

Liu Yumeng huffed angrily:

"Take your big fat ghost of a leave! Wang Xiaohua, you're deliberately messing with me, aren't you?"

Liu Yumeng had originally wanted to endure it.

But as soon as she arrived at the office, she heard Wang Xiaohua say this to her, and she flared up at once, truly unable to hold back.

Wang Xiaohua wore a look of surprise:

"Yumeng, what do you take me for? Am I bored out of my mind? Why would I mess with you?"

Liu Yumeng pointed at Wang Xiaohua's nose, wanting to scold him, yet found she had no words to start with.

"You... forget it, can't be bothered to waste saliva on you!"

Wang Xiaohua packed up his things, then said:

"Sorry, I'm apologizing to you solemnly again. After work this afternoon, I'll treat you to wontons again, a large bowl this time, don't be mad at me anymore."

Liu Yumeng rolled her eyes hard:

"I'm not eating at that wonton place, it's filthy to death!"

But Wang Xiaohua said:

"You don't understand. That's not filth, that's the smoke-and-fire flavor of life, that's the taste of the mortal world. Fine, I explain and you still won't get it. After work this afternoon, I'll take you to a restaurant in the county town to eat, that should be fine, right?"

Liu Yumeng was stunned:

"You'd really take me to a restaurant in the county town?"

Wang Xiaohua smiled:

"After I left your house last night, I thought it over again and again, and finally made a decision."

"What decision did you make?"

Liu Yumeng hurriedly asked.

Wang Xiaohua just smiled and answered:

"I feel what your dad said was very right, so I'll follow his suggestion and do that one thing."

Hearing this, Liu Yumeng was instantly delighted:

"For real or fake?"

Wang Xiaohua said:

"Truth is, I really have no reason to refuse your dad's suggestion, and I also can't let off the chief culprit who indirectly made me lose my true love."

"My dad said to let you and me..." Liu Yumeng paused, didn't continue.

Wang Xiaohua instantly understood what she meant, and replied:

"Let's just get along like friends for now. If I truly can avenge my great grudge, and you truly don't look down on my height, looks, and family background, then I'll accept every possibility."

Hearing Wang Xiaohua say this, Liu Yumeng was overjoyed.

It wasn't because Wang Xiaohua accepted her — Wang Xiaohua accepting her, she felt was only natural; moreover, deep down she still felt Wang Xiaohua's conditions fundamentally didn't measure up to her! She looked down on Wang Xiaohua from the bottom of her heart!

Rather, it was because Wang Xiaohua saying this meant he had already willingly become a chess piece for their Liu Family!

But the premise is that Wang Xiaohua is telling the truth!

"Wang Xiaohua, you can see things this clearly, that's for the best!"

Liu Yumeng laughed as she said this.

Then she also said:

"Alright then, after work today, I'll give you a chance to treat me to a meal!"

The way she put it, it was as if Wang Xiaohua treating her to a meal was her bestowing a favor on Wang Xiaohua.

Some women are just like this, unable to see the situation clearly, just this blindly confident and high-and-mighty!

It's like a divorced middle-aged woman with a son, going on a blind date and still daring to demand a bride price of hundreds of thousands!

Yet there are simply far too many women in this world who can't gauge their own weight.

Wang Xiaohua didn't expose Liu Yumeng, because the reason he treated Liu Yumeng to a meal was precisely to achieve this current effect.

So he even went along with Liu Yumeng's train of thought and spoke words of thanks:

"Yumeng, thank you for giving me this chance!"

Hearing this, Liu Yumeng became even happier.

So she even took the initiative to say:

"Come on, let's go down to the countryside together to visit poor households!"

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly showed concern for her:

"You look like you didn't sleep well last night, how about you don't go down to the countryside?"

But Liu Yumeng said:

"Deal, I'm happy today, you're not allowed to refuse!"

Liu Yumeng thought to herself, if she didn't go along, how could she monitor you?

Wang Xiaohua smiled:

"Alright, then let's go together. As the saying goes, men and women paired together, work isn't tiring! I'm even more motivated now!"

Wang Xiaohua thought to himself, even if you come along, it's impossible for you to monitor me!

By evening you'll have to go home to sleep, I'll have plenty of time to do what I want to do!

The two appeared friendly on the surface, but actually each harbored ulterior motives.

Then they happily went down to the countryside to work together.

And at this time, on the other side.

Wang Erhai had a very important meeting to hold today.

This meeting had nothing to do with Liguo Mountain, but was related to the real estate development project in Shangang Town.

Since last time at the Shangang Town Government, an oral agreement was reached to jointly develop Shangang Town's first real estate project with Zhang Sheng, this matter has been progressing continuously.

Now, there will finally be substantive progress.

Zhang Sheng personally presided over the meeting and invited Wang Erhai to attend.

The meeting location was at Huangsheng Hotel.

It was said that a formal cooperation agreement would be signed today.

Wang Erhai arrived at Huangsheng Hotel, only to see in the conference hall, the attendees were not only Zhang Sheng and representatives of his legal team, but also Zhong Hongtao, the representative from the Shangang Town Government.

Additionally, there came a person Wang Xiaohua could never have expected.

"Uncle Chunsheng, how come you're here too?"

Wang Erhai saw Niu Chunsheng and couldn't help but show surprise on his face.

For this real estate project, the originally agreed oral agreement was for Zhang Sheng and Wang Erhai to each invest fifty percent.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Sheng also pulled Niu Chunsheng in.

Not having seen him for a long time, Niu Chunsheng had aged considerably.

And his face bore weariness, unknown why it would be like this.

He looked like his spirit and energy weren't too good, as if he was ill.

Niu Chunsheng said with a laugh:

"Erhai, President Zhang said he wants to develop a real estate project in Shangang Town, asked if I had interest. I heard, isn't this contributing to our hometown? So naturally I'm interested!"

Zhang Sheng smiled:

"President Wang, Mayor Zhong, President Niu is also an old acquaintance of yours, hope you don't mind."

Zhong Hongtao smiled without speaking, but his smile had already expressed his stance.

That was, he didn't care how many people came to participate; what he cared about was whether this real estate project could actually land.

Theoretically, the more investors join, the more cash flow there would be, and the greater the possibility of landing.

So Zhong Hongtao naturally wouldn't oppose Niu Chunsheng joining.

Wang Erhai would oppose Niu Chunsheng joining even less.

Originally he was still worrying about the funding issue, thinking whether to borrow some money from his eldest sister-in-law, after all, with just the funds he currently had on hand, this real estate project would probably be hard to support.

Now with Niu Chunsheng joining, it could greatly alleviate his funding pressure, and Niu Chunsheng wasn't some other merchant — he knew him inside and out, trustworthy, so naturally he welcomed it to the utmost.

As for why Zhang Sheng pulled Niu Chunsheng into the game, it was simple: developing real estate in a remote mountain pass, no matter how you put it, the risk was definitely huge, so pulling in one more person to share the risk was clearly the most appropriate choice.

And this person couldn't be someone Wang Erhai and Zhong Hongtao would oppose.

So it could only be Niu Chunsheng.
