Li Xiulan

Wang Dashan faced the already-hung-up phone and couldn't help but show a wry smile.

He was vexed and at a loss.

When he did sales, he had encountered plenty of difficult clients, but he had always been able to face them calmly.

Yet now, facing Du Xiaojuan's sudden coldness and politeness toward him, he completely didn't know what to do.

Wang Dashan lit a cigarette for himself and smoked rather dejectedly.

He called Zhang Zhihao and told him Du Xiaojuan had suddenly changed her mind and no longer planned to invest in his company.

"What? How could Du Xiaojuan suddenly go back on her word? Wasn't everything fine before!"

Facing this situation, Zhang Zhihao was also quite surprised.

"She said she had some problems with her capital turnover, so she's not investing."

Wang Dashan said the truth with a wry smile.

"That's just an excuse!"

Zhang Zhihao said indignantly, "Two days ago she still told me she made quite a bit this year, planning to take part out to invest in your company, and part to buy a house!"

Wang Dashan's brow furrowed slightly:

"Is that so? You say could it be because Cheng Auntie also joined the investment? Last night I invited Du Xiaojuan out for a meal, and told her Cheng Auntie also wanted to invest in me, and then her mood became not quite right."

Zhang Zhihao hurriedly said:

"That must be the reason! I think eighty percent she's jealous, she probably thinks you and that rich lady have something going on, and then she got unhappy, and wants to actively withdraw!"

Wang Dashan, hearing this, also felt it made sense.

"Hao Ge, then what should I do? I don't want to be misunderstood by Xiao Juan. Actually I don't have any feelings for Cheng Auntie; she expressed affection toward me, but I clearly refused her. We're just ordinary friends!"

Zhang Zhihao, hearing Wang Dashan say this, immediately laughed and cried at the same time.

"You think you're ordinary friends, but others don't see it that way. Even I can tell. That rich lady being so generous to invest in you, and saying she'll invest however much money you want, it's very obvious she's determined to win you over. Du Xiaojuan probably feels she can't compete with that rich lady, so she tactfully withdrew. In this situation, stopping loss in time is indeed the wisest choice."

Wang Dashan couldn't help but wryly smile:

"Hao Ge, you say what should I do now? I don't want to be misunderstood by Du Xiaojuan."

Zhang Zhihao said:

"How about this: tonight I'll invite Du Xiaojuan out for a meal, and then you two can explain things clearly face to face."

Wang Dashan hurriedly thanked him:

"Good, good, thank you so much, Hao Ge!"

Zhang Zhihao then said:

"By the way, when the time comes, give her a little surprise. Don't be completely clueless and unprepared."

"A surprise?" Wang Dashan was stunned.

From childhood to adulthood, he had never had any sense of ceremony; he hadn't even celebrated his own birthday once.

To create a surprise was, for him, absolutely a big problem.

"Just buy some small gifts, then give them to Du Xiaojuan when the time comes, and confess to her!"

Zhang Zhihao himself was actually also a straight man of steel; he was still single himself, so he was just blindly directing.

But as an outsider, he felt he definitely saw things more clearly than Wang Dashan.

After all, those in the game are confused, while onlookers see clearly.

Zhang Zhihao felt that at this time, nothing could resolve the misunderstanding better than directly confessing to Du Xiaojuan.

"Ah? Confess now? Won't that be too rushed?" Wang Dashan felt a bit guilty; he felt he and Du Xiaojuan hadn't developed to that point yet.

Zhang Zhihao said, "If you don't confess now, are you going to wait until Du Xiaojuan leaves before you confess? Listen to me, it's definitely right! Du Xiaojuan has feelings for you, and you have feelings for Du Xiaojuan. In this situation, as long as you speak up, she has no reason to refuse you!"

Zhang Zhihao also said:

"Additionally, when the time comes, tell Du Xiaojuan your attitude: you don't want that rich lady's investment anymore; you only want Du Xiaojuan's investment!"

Wang Dashan "ah?"ed once more. Obviously, he still very much hoped to get Cheng Cheng's investment, after all Cheng Cheng could back him up and greatly reduce the risk of his entrepreneurship.

However, Zhang Zhihao said: "What are you 'ah'-ing about? Even a blind man can see Du Xiaojuan minds that rich lady investing in you, which is why she chose to actively withdraw. A person can't have it both ways. If you want Du Xiaojuan's love, then you must give up Cheng Cheng's investment. And if you want Cheng Cheng's investment, then you will definitely lose Du Xiaojuan's love! You can't have both the fish and the bear's paw!"

Wang Dashan felt what Zhang Zhihao said made a lot of sense. He knew he had to make a choice, but deep down he was also a bit speechless. Why was Du Xiaojuan so petty? Cheng Cheng was just purely investing in him; she hadn't asked anything of him. Why did she have to force an either-or?

But he was also very certain that he liked Du Xiaojuan.

If you like someone, you should tolerate her little temper.

And love is a humble possession, a narrow-minded exclusivity; indeed it's impossible to share with others.

Wang Dashan didn't quite agree with Du Xiaojuan's attitude, but he understood her actions, and even felt a little proud because of it.

Because Du Xiaojuan's attitude precisely showed she also loved him.

"Good, good, Hao Ge. When the time comes, I'll do exactly as you say!"

In the end Wang Dashan agreed.

Then he began to prepare small gifts, preparing a little surprise for Du Xiaojuan.

In the blink of an eye it was evening.

Zhang Zhihao invited Du Xiaojuan out, and they ate barbecue at a Da Paidang.

"Xiao Juan, I heard Dashan say you're not planning to invest anymore."

Just as the dishes were served, Zhang Zhihao got straight to the point.

"Yeah, recently there's been a problem with capital turnover."

Du Xiaojuan still gave that same reason, not telling the truth.

"I see you and Dashan's relationship has developed a misunderstanding, it's real!"

Zhang Zhihao hit the nail on the head with one sentence, leaving Du Xiaojuan only able to smile bitterly.

Then she said:

"He wants to find a rich woman to invest, what method can I have? Anyway, with a rich woman backing him, it's better for me to take the initiative to withdraw, to avoid being suppressed by the rich woman later, ending up in a sorry state and losing face."

Zhang Zhihao nodded and said:

"Your words have some principle. Although Dashan said that rich woman is purely investing, but when money is involved, how could it possibly be that simple? It's very obvious that rich woman has taken a fancy to Dashan, wanting to take the opportunity to get him. But Dashan also said, he clearly refused that rich woman, now it's just an ordinary investment relationship."

Du Xiaojuan gave a dry laugh:

"Maybe I'm a comparatively petty person. The man I invest in, I absolutely won't allow another woman to invest. If another woman comes to invest, then either I fight her to the death, or I take the initiative to withdraw. It's very obvious I can't fight that rich woman, so I chose the latter."

Zhang Zhihao then said:

"Why are you saying such disheartened words? Don't be so pessimistic. The most important thing is Dashan's attitude. His attitude decides everything!"

Du Xiaojuan hehe laughed:

"Hehe, what attitude could he have? Clearly knowing the other party has ulterior motives toward him, he still accepted the other party's kindness."

Zhang Zhihao then said:

"Don't say it like that. Look over there. That is Dashan's attitude toward you!"

Du Xiaojuan looked up in the direction Zhang Zhihao pointed, only to see a wall covered by a curtain. The curtain suddenly fell, and on the wall hung a heart shape pieced together from red balloons.

In front of the heart wall stood Wang Dashan holding roses, and on both sides of Wang Dashan was a hired band providing accompaniment.
