"How can this count as a money-power transaction? This is just normal business, okay."
Xiao Xueqing immediately rejected Wang Xiaohua's view, and comforted him:
"Don't think so much. Your Second Brother doing business is your Second Brother's matter; you serving the people is your own matter. Don't mix them up."
Wang Xiaohua, however, knew that this was fundamentally not a matter of mixing things up, but a binding of power and interests.
Xiao Xueqing spoke again at this time:
"Didn't you also take the initiative to invite your Second Brother to join that real estate project in Shangang Town? You didn't say anything about that, so you shouldn't say anything about this even more."
Hearing these words, Wang Xiaohua was momentarily at a loss for words.
And just at this moment, Wang Xiaohua's mobile phone rang.
He took it out to look, and it was surprisingly his Second Brother Wang Erhai calling.
"Excuse me, I'll take a call."
Wang Xiaohua answered Wang Erhai's call. He glanced at the expression on Xiao Xueqing's face, then asked vigilantly:
"Hello, Second Brother, what's up?"
Wang Erhai's voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Third Brother, I want to ask you something."
"Mm, you speak."
"Just now Zhang Sheng came to find me, saying he wants to partner with me to open a building materials company. You say, should I partner with him?"
Wang Xiaohua looked at Xiao Xueqing, and discovered Xiao Xueqing was also looking at him.
And the smile on Xiao Xueqing's face carried a trace of expectation, a trace of playful meaning, and even a trace of desire for control.
Wang Xiaohua knew that right now in front of Xiao Xueqing, he fundamentally had no other choice.
So he said:
"You handle it yourself. Your business matters, you make the decisions yourself."
Wang Erhai didn't know Xiao Xueqing was watching by Wang Xiaohua's side, so he told the truth about everything:
"It's precisely because I can't make up my mind myself that I came to ask you, Third Brother. You have to give me a definite answer. Let me put it this way: Zhang Sheng said it's on account of your face that he's willing to partner with me in business."
Pressed by Wang Erhai like this, Wang Xiaohua let out a long breath of turbid air:
"You hold a post at Liguo Mountain; in fact, you're already bound together with Zhang Sheng in interests. So if you want to partner with him to open a building materials company, then partner. Anyway, however you choose, I respect you."
Hearing this, Wang Erhai:
"Since you've put it like that, I'll partner with him. You say, will he screw me over?"
Deep in Wang Xiaohua's heart there was a kind of profound powerlessness:
"Short term, he won't, and doesn't dare. But later it's hard to say. After all, the situation isn't unchanging."
Wang Erhai then said:
"Third Brother, with your words, I'm reassured."
Wang Erhai hung up Wang Xiaohua's phone, then directly called Zhang Sheng back, saying he had already considered it and agreed to open a building materials company together with Zhang Sheng.
As for this building materials company's name, Zhang Sheng had already thought of it!
Zhang Sheng and Wang Erhai's names, each taking one character!
Just call it Shenghai Building Materials!
And this name Shenghai has a good meaning too.
Flourishing, and moreover implies massive orders!
Wang Erhai had no objections to this.
However, when he turned back and told this matter to his wife Zhang Yueran, Zhang Yueran frowned instead.
"You really want to partner with Zhang Sheng to open a factory company?"
Worry appeared on Zhang Yueran's face.
Wang Erhai said:
"Mm, it's already agreed. Even the company name is thought of — just call it Shenghai Building Materials!"
Zhang Yueran asked:
"Didn't you ask your Third Brother?"
Wang Erhai said:
"It's precisely after asking him that I made this decision. He said I should handle it myself. I asked him if Zhang Sheng would screw me over. He said short term Zhang Sheng won't screw me over, and doesn't dare screw me over, but long term it's not certain. He's afraid the situation might change later!"
Seeing Zhang Yueran's face showing worry, Wang Erhai comforted her:
"Rest assured. If later Zhang Sheng wants to screw me over, then I won't say another word — I'll directly sell my shares and exit Shenghai Building Materials. I won't fight with him. I'll take what belongs to me and leave. He won't be able to screw me!"
Zhang Yueran let out a long breath of turbid air:
"I'm just afraid that when the time comes, you won't be able to help yourself."
Wang Erhai, however, said:
"It won't happen. The high-level struggle at Liguo Mountain is so complex, and didn't I pull through it too? Rest assured. I'm not a raw recruit! Next month you're going to give birth. You must rest well and don't worry too much for me!"
Zhang Yueran nodded, and didn't say anything more.
But the worry on her face still couldn't help but remain.
She felt Zhang Sheng was an old fox who devoured people without spitting out the bones, and her interests were bound too deeply with Zhang Sheng's; in the end she feared she would be eaten clean by Zhang Sheng.
Actually Wang Erhai also had this worry, but right now a great opportunity lay before him, plus his own Third Brother did not oppose it, so he was still willing to take a risk and give it a try.
After all, in a person's lifetime, opportunities that can change fate are not many.
Now that Lianqiang Building Materials has collapsed, the county's building materials market is about to be reshuffled; for someone like him in the real estate related industry, this is absolutely a rare and precious opportunity!
Anyway Zhang Sheng said the initial investment to establish the company would be borne by him alone; Wang Erhai did not need to put in any money.
Wang Erhai agreed here to partner with Zhang Sheng and establish Shenghai Building Materials; logically Zhang Sheng should be overjoyed, but on his end he also ran into trouble.
At this time, Zhang Sheng's lover, the other partner of Liguo Mountain Renovation Group, Wu Moli, directly pushed open Zhang Sheng's office door and walked in furiously.
"Zhang Sheng, what do you mean by this?"
Wu Moli opened her mouth and it was a questioning full of pressure.
"Moli, what's wrong? Who made you angry?" Seeing her like this, Zhang Sheng was neither annoyed nor afraid, but pretended to be confused and immediately showed concern for her, "You tell me who provoked you, I'll go deal with him for you!"
Wu Moli immediately felt like a fist hitting cotton, a full sense of powerlessness, very displeased.
"Let me ask you, why did you start a building materials company with Wang Erhai but not bring me along?"
Wu Moli directly questioned.
Before, Zhang Sheng pushed Wang Erhai onto the CEO position of Liguo Mountain but did not choose her; she already had much resentment.
Now Zhang Sheng entered the building materials sector but did not bring her along; naturally she was even angrier.
What she feared was not that Zhang Sheng no longer spoiled her or loved her; she feared that Zhang Sheng would forget her in the distribution of benefits.
Because being Zhang Sheng's woman was never for love, but for benefit.
Now Zhang Sheng wouldn't even give her benefits; naturally she felt disrespected.
However Zhang Sheng said:
"I saw you running back and forth between Victory Real Estate and Liguo Mountain every day, afraid you'd wear yourself out, so I didn't let you participate in setting up this building materials company? If you really want to come, after the company is established later, I'll invite you to be CEO; that should be fine, right?"
Once Zhang Sheng said this, Wu Moli had no words.
She knew Zhang Sheng wasn't sincere; she still had anger in her heart, but Zhang Sheng had put it this far; if she were still unsatisfied, that would be pushing her luck, kicking nose on face.
So she forcibly suppressed her anger:
"Fine, you said it yourself; don't go back on your word when the time comes!"
Finished speaking, Wu Moli turned and left.
Zhang Sheng watched her departing back, yet sighed, muttering to himself:
"Been a mistress so long she really thinks she's the legitimate wife? Wu Moli oh Wu Moli, why can't you just accept your proper place?"
Zhang Sheng had thoughts of moving against Wu Moli.
He felt very depressed inside; why does every woman he favors, with good ability, given opportunities and resources, helped to grow, in the end all push their luck and demand endlessly?
Even feeling everything is only right and proper!
Truly only petty men and women are hard to raise!
