Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Facing Zhang Zhihao's persuasion, Wang Dashan kept his head down, silent and not speaking.

He felt terrible inside; why did everyone around him come to persuade him to lower his head and beg Du Xiaojuan for reconciliation?

Had anyone ever cared about his feelings?

Clearly he hadn't done anything wrong!

Besides, it wasn't like he hadn't gone to beg for reconciliation!

Before, he had sought out Du Xiaojuan, but Du Xiaojuan's attitude was extremely decisive — she just wanted to break up; what could he do?

"Hao Ge, thanks for your kind intentions, I'll consider it properly."

In the end, Wang Dashan gave Zhang Zhihao such an ambiguous answer.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhihao could only laugh dryly.

From Wang Dashan's reaction, he could tell that Wang Dashan probably wasn't likely to go find Du Xiaojuan anymore.

But he didn't say anything more; everything that needed to be said had been said, and continuing would just be verbose.

Wang Dashan indeed didn't go find Du Xiaojuan, but Zhang Zhihao's persuasion still made him make a decision.

That evening, he returned to the rental house and said to his second brother:

"Tomorrow we'll go find Xu Mingxin to cooperate, and make the company big and strong!"

Hearing this, Wang Erhai immediately looked full of surprise and shock:

"Big Brother, didn't you say before that you wouldn't cooperate with him?"

Before, Wang Dashan had sworn that doing business is like being a person — you must guard your bottom line.

Unexpectedly, not long had passed before he actually changed his mind.

No wonder Wang Erhai was so surprised.

"As long as we can earn money, as long as we can prolong Shanhai Real Estate's life, cooperating with him is no big deal. After all, the one violating industry regulations is Xu Mingxin, not us; we can just turn a blind eye and pretend we know nothing."

Wang Dashan spoke like this.

He was holding in a surge of determination.

Du Xiaojuan's company had already reached monthly revenue in the tens of millions; he had to catch up as soon as possible.

He absolutely could not let Du Xiaojuan see his joke!

He indeed had principles, but when the principle of business morality clashed with the principle that he must beat Du Xiaojuan, he could only push the former to the side.

Losing business morality didn't actually require paying any price, but if he lost to Du Xiaojuan, his dignity and face would be completely lost!

Who knows when it started, but he became like his father Wang Zhanggen, caring deeply about so-called dignity and face.

Or perhaps he wasn't like his father; rather, people at the bottom who have lived long in failure all become sensitive and inferior, and thus care even more about so-called dignity and face.

People are like this: the more they lack something, the more they care about it.

"Alright alright, then tomorrow I'll go tell Xu Mingxin."

Wang Erhai wore a trace of a bitter smile.

He had originally been inclined to cooperate with Xu Mingxin, because this was the only path that could save Shanhai Real Estate.

But now the aura his big brother displayed made him feel somewhat strange.

His big brother seemed to no longer be the same big brother from before.

The next day, Wang Erhai proactively contacted Xu Mingxin:

"Manager Xu, my big brother says he's willing to cooperate with you."

Xu Mingxin, receiving this reply, immediately showed joy:

"He's willing to a fifty-fifty commission split? He's also willing to let my younger sister work at your company?"

Xu Mingxin is a cautious person; he needed to confirm once more the conditions he had proposed.

Wang Erhai then said:

"Both are willing; your conditions aren't excessive."

Xu Mingxin laughed and said:

"Then okay, I'll call my younger sister right now and have her go to your company. My younger sister just graduated from technical school; she's a newcomer, so please, you two brothers, take good care of her."

Around eleven o'clock at noon, a spiritual young girl with dyed yellow hair came visiting.

This spiritual young girl was tall and thin, her makeup very heavy, with thick eye makeup, wearing earrings and a lip piercing.

She was Xu Mingxin's younger sister, Xu Mingmei.

When Xu Mingmei first came in, only Wang Erhai was in the shop; Wang Dashan had gone out to run business. Wang Erhai didn't recognize her as Xu Mingxin's younger sister and thought she might have come to the wrong place.

After all, a spiritual young girl like this generally wouldn't come to buy a house.

"May I ask who you're looking for?"

Wang Erhai walked up and inquired.

Xu Mingmei then said:

"My older brother introduced me. I'm Xu Mingmei. He said your company is recruiting, and as long as I give my big brother's name, you'll hire me."

Wang Erhai asked: "Who is your big brother?"

Xu Mingmei said: "He's called Xu Mingxin."

Don't look at Xu Mingmei being a heavily made-up spiritual young girl; actually, now that she's come to this place, she's still a bit nervous, timid and shy.

"You're Manager Xu's sister, right?"

Wang Erhai looked Xu Mingmei up and down, finding it hard to believe.

Although Xu Mingxin wasn't exactly handsome, he was still a normal person.

How could he have such a non-mainstream dressed sister?

"What's your name?"

Wang Erhai asked.

"Xu Mingmei, the Mingmei of bright and charming."

Xu Mingmei answered like this.

Wang Erhai nodded, then said:

"This isn't a hair salon; image is very important for working here. I suggest you dye your hair back to black."

Xu Mingmei said instead:

"My hair is naturally yellow, not dyed."

Wang Erhai could only give a dry laugh.

Xu Mingmei said again:

"You don't believe me? If you don't believe me, I can pull out a strand of hair for you to see; it really isn't dyed!"

Wang Erhai had no way to retort:

"Your dark circles and lip ring wouldn't also be natural, right?"

Xu Mingmei explained:

"These aren't dark circles, it's eyeshadow; do you know Faye Wong's smoky makeup? This is the same style."

Wang Erhai said impatiently:

"Fine, fine. I suggest you'd better take off this makeup; it's better to dress yourself more neatly. After all, we're a real estate intermediary, not a bar or hair salon."

Xu Mingmei looked very unwilling.

Wang Erhai had no choice but to say:

"If you don't take off your makeup, that's okay too; just make phone calls in the company. As for meeting clients, you don't need to do that."

Xu Mingmei asked at this time:

"How is my salary calculated?"

Wang Erhai asked instead:

"How much do you want?"

Xu Mingmei said:

"My big brother said that coming to your place can get a salary of five thousand base salary plus commission."

Wang Erhai immediately became somewhat unwilling.

Five thousand base salary is not a small amount!

Xu Mingmei said instead:

"If there isn't that amount, I won't do it!"

Wang Erhai immediately felt a headache.

He hurriedly turned around to one side to call Xu Mingxin:

"Manager Xu, your sister says she wants a salary of five thousand base salary plus commission. I obviously can't offer her such a high salary on my end. What do you say we do?"

Wang Erhai thought Xu Mingxin would make an exorbitant demand and threaten him that if he didn't take his sister, there would be no cooperation.

Unexpectedly, Xu Mingxin actually acted out of character and was quite easy to talk to.

He asked:

"How much can you give?"

Wang Erhai honestly said:

"At most two thousand base salary. As for commission, for clients you introduce, a fifty-fifty profit split, directly counted toward your sister's salary. How about that?"

Xu Mingxin said instead:

"You give her two thousand base salary, I'll make up three thousand. You still tell her five thousand base salary. How about that?"

Wang Erhai was stunned.

Xu Mingxin said again:

"My sister is wayward, always hanging out with all sorts of messy people from society. I'm taking the risk of being fired by Anjia Real Estate to actively come and cooperate with you. Actually, I just want to find her a proper job and keep her away from that circle. I hope you can understand."

Wang Erhai felt somewhat unexpected about this and muttered a sentence:

"If you want to find her a job, why don't you bring her into Anjia Real Estate?"

Xu Mingxin smiled wryly:

"You've seen her image, right? For a girl with this kind of image, besides nightclubs and foot bath shops that would recruit her, which proper company would hire her? Although I'm the sales manager of this branch company, I can't decide on recruitment by myself."

Wang Erhai, hearing this, didn't say anything more.

Unexpectedly, Xu Mingxin looked like a treacherous villain, but for his sister, he could actually do such a thing.
