Li Xiulan

As it turned out, this afternoon after Zhang Zhihao and Wang Dashan left the computer store together, only Wang Erhai and Xiao Mei remained in the store; Zhang Zhihao had indeed created a private space for them.

However, no matter how proactively Wang Erhai tried to strike up a conversation with Xiao Mei, she was cold and indifferent toward him; when it was time to get off work in the evening, Wang Erhai had originally still wanted to invite Xiao Mei to eat a meal, but Xiao Mei refused him without any hesitation.

And the reason she gave for refusing him was actually that she was currently losing weight and did not plan to eat a meal tonight.

For Wang Erhai, this was simply a massive blow.

Because anyone with eyes could see just how perfunctory Xiao Mei's reason was.

It was very obvious that Xiao Mei simply did not want to go eat a meal with him and did not want to give him any chance to show himself.

But this was also to be expected; Xiao Mei was fairly good-looking, and the reason Zhang Zhihao had hired her to do sales in his store in the first place was precisely because he valued her advantage in appearance.

As for Wang Erhai, although he was not ugly, he could only be described as ordinary and unremarkable.

His height was 1.7 meters, neither tall nor short.

His ordinary person's facial features, while not ugly, did not have the slightest connection to handsomeness.

Especially under the foil of his eldest brother's tall and handsome image, he appeared even more ordinary and unremarkable.

Wang Erhai suffered a setback because of this, which made him deeply experience the pain his eldest brother felt when dumped by Du Xiaojuan, and made him equally urgently want to achieve success in order to prove his own worth.

And this time his eldest brother started a company and proactively proposed letting him serve as legal representative and director, which happened to give him an opportunity, so he naturally agreed readily.

He was completely unaware that serving as a company's legal representative and director, especially legal representative, meant being responsible for this company.

But even if he knew, he probably still would not refuse; after all, this was his own eldest brother's company — if he couldn't even trust his own eldest brother, then who could he trust?

After obtaining Wang Erhai's agreement, Wang Dashan handed the materials to the proxy registration company, and the proxy registration company took only three days to handle all the company's formalities.

The company's storefront address had long been decided by Wang Dashan — it was a small shop space near Gangding Computer City, only about ten square meters, very cramped, but sufficient to serve as the office address for a real estate agency.

Doing real estate agency, the most important thing is not the storefront, but going out to run business and knowing how to solicit clients.

Because naturally visiting clients are very few to begin with; even a large agency like the former employer Zhongyuan Real Estate, naturally visiting clients would not exceed ten percent.

As for the company's name, it had also long been decided at the time of registration.

It would be called Shanhai Real Estate Limited Liability Company.

Taking the "Mountain" character from Wang Dashan and the "Sea" character from Wang Erhai.

The two combined together.

Shanhai Real Estate soon began operations.

At the start Wang Dashan did not go hire employees; he alone went to run business.

Personally going to developers' projects and negotiating cooperation with the sales office staff.

For a small agency like his, many projects looked down on him with extremely arrogant attitudes; he could only lower his posture to beg for cooperation, proactively offer rebates, proactively treat to meals, and so on.

Additionally, he personally made phone calls to solicit clients, personally handed out flyers, and personally brought clients to view properties.

Matters large and small, he did everything personally.

This made him busy to the point of being overwhelmed, yet also very fulfilled.

In his work, he also gradually forgot the pain of breaking up with Du Xiaojuan.

Only occasionally in the deep quiet of night would he inevitably still think of her.

And on the other side, ever since Wang Erhai was listed in name as Shanhai Real Estate's legal representative and director, he could no longer sell computers with peace of mind.

He kept thinking about going to work at his eldest brother's place.

Zhang Zhihao saw this, but did not say anything.

If Wang Erhai proactively proposed to leave, he would let him go immediately.

Because he also knew that Wang Dashan's side was definitely very short-handed right now.

His computer store, missing one salesperson, could just hire a new salesperson.

For Wang Dashan's real estate agency to newly hire an employee, the cost would definitely be much higher than using his second brother.

This day, Wang Erhai finally could not help but come to Zhang Zhihao to tender his resignation.

Zhang Zhihao smiled and dismissed it, agreeing readily:

"Then pack up and go; this month's salary, on the 15th of next month, I'll transfer every penny to your bank account."

"Thanks, Hao Ge; Hao Ge, you really are a good person!"

Wang Erhai immediately expressed boundless gratitude; he had thought Zhang Zhihao would be unwilling to let him go.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhihao let him go so readily.

Zhang Zhihao also said:

"Once you're at your eldest brother's company, you must work hard and absolutely must not hold your eldest brother back. And don't think I'm a good person — I just don't want my investment to go down the drain; only if you two brothers build up Shanhai Real Estate will my 100,000 yuan investment have a return."

Wang Erhai nodded solemnly:

"Rest assured, I'll definitely work hard; when the company grows strong and big later, Hao Ge, you just sit back and collect the money!"

Before leaving the computer store, Wang Erhai also specially went to find Xiao Mei and ate a meal with her.

This time Xiao Mei did not refuse him.

Who knows what the reason was.

Maybe she didn't need to lose weight anymore.

Or maybe because Wang Erhai was leaving, she gave him a polite farewell out of courtesy.

There could also be other reasons.

When Wang Erhai told Xiao Mei that he was a director of his brother's Shanhai Real Estate Company, Xiao Mei's attitude toward Wang Erhai quietly changed.

Although she did not go so far as to actively show favor to Wang Erhai, she was no longer as cold as before, but rather reserved with a hint of symbolic resistance.

"Xiao Mei, once my big brother and I make the company strong and big, I'll come back to find you. Will you agree?"

At the dinner table, Wang Erhai plucked up his courage and took the initiative to say these words to Xiao Mei.

He dared not confess to Xiao Mei, because he felt that with his current economic situation, he was still not enough to let Xiao Mei live a happy life.

He harbored an inferiority complex born of being ordinary, feeling he was too ordinary to be worthy of the woman he loved, and feeling that only after achieving some career success would he be qualified to confess to the girl he adored.

Xiao Mei responded in a joking manner:

"Fine, by then you have to treat me to a better meal!"

Upon receiving Xiao Mei's response, Wang Erhai immediately beamed with joy and made a promise:

"I heard there's an Air Western Restaurant on Guangzhou Tower. By then I'll treat you to Western food there, letting you overlook the whole city's night view while savoring delicious food!"

Xiao Mei covered her mouth and laughed, happily:

"You can forget it. How expensive would that be? It's not something people like us can afford!"

Although Xiao Mei said that with her mouth, her expression clearly showed that she was still quite expectant of Wang Erhai's promise.

If there really was a man who could treat her to a meal at the Air Western Restaurant on Guangzhou Tower, she would absolutely fall in love with that man.

How romantic that would be!

Just like a TV drama!

As a low-level salesperson, she had never dared to even think of such things before.

But now, Wang Erhai was going to be a director of the company his big brother opened.

She could finally dare to think about it a little, and could have a glimmer of expectation.

Of course, she would not agree to become Wang Erhai's girlfriend right now.

After all, whether Shanhai Real Estate could succeed was still up in the air.

If she became Wang Erhai's girlfriend now, and Shanhai Real Estate later lost money and went bankrupt, wouldn't she lose out terribly?

So this matter, she still had to wait and see. Once the situation became clear later, it wouldn't be too late for her to make a choice.

Anyway, Wang Erhai loved her so much and was so humble before her, so she was not in a rush to force things.
