Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Often, a person's status and position will change along with changes in wealth.

Previously, Wang Erhai was just a low-level salesperson; in front of Xiao Mei, he could only humble himself and curry favor.

Now he is the second-in-command of Shanhai Real Estate, and the company is thriving, having made a lot of money; his relationship with Xiao Mei has completely reversed.

It has turned into Xiao Mei desperately wanting to get close to and curry favor with him.

He sees all of this clearly, but simply doesn't call it out.

It cannot be denied that he once admired Xiao Mei, but now that Xiao Mei has lowered herself to take the initiative to approach him, he instead feels Xiao Mei isn't worth loving.

Humble initiative makes a person become cheap.

Especially when the other party has no affection for you.

Wang Erhai's inner thoughts are very simple, and very realistic: that with his current status, he can completely find women better than Xiao Mei, so why would he still waste time on Xiao Mei?

He still remembers, when he originally left Hao Ge's computer store, when he treated Xiao Mei to a farewell meal, he spoke those sincere words from the bottom of his heart to Xiao Mei, yet Xiao Mei just laughed it off, merely agreeing verbally to give him a chance to pursue her after he succeeded.

Xiao Mei's realism and snobbery, he engraved into his bones.

This caused a strand of hatred toward Xiao Mei in his heart.

However, this strand of hatred is different from Wang Dashan's hatred toward Du Xiaojuan.

Wang Dashan's is the hatred of not being able to obtain; his is the hatred of obtaining but not wanting.

However Xiao Mei treated him before, that is how he will treat Xiao Mei now.

It cannot be denied, this is a naked retaliation.

But this is also normal; after all, Wang Erhai is just an ordinary person who couldn't be more ordinary.

Which ordinary person doesn't have a bit of a retaliatory heart?

Repaying grievance with virtue is merely the business of saints, and doesn't have much to do with ordinary people.

Coincidentally, at this time Xiao Mei took the initiative to jump into the pit; then Wang Erhai naturally had to properly employ some methods.

Sure enough, the next day when Xiao Mei came to work, because during a phone call her tone toward a client wasn't enthusiastic enough, she was criticized harshly by Wang Erhai again.

"How can this do? You're selling houses, not selling coffins; don't wear a dejected look, pull yourself together, work is work, don't bring life's emotions into work; if you can't sell a single house during your probation period, then I'm afraid even I won't be able to save you; you also know, this company isn't run by my word alone, even I have to abide by the company's regulations."

Xiao Mei, full of guilt and self-reproach, hurriedly apologized:

"Erhai, sorry, I'll pull myself together and work hard, strive to sell a house during the probation period!"

Wang Erhai, however, said coldly:

"Don't call my name during work; during work we are just a superior-subordinate relationship, otherwise other employees might think I'm shielding you, and that would affect internal unity."

"Okay okay, General Manager Wang, I'll do everything as you say!"

Xiao Mei's heart was full of grievance, yet she dared not speak it out.

Facing Wang Erhai's this kind of suppressive communication, it even made her a bit suspicious of her own ability.

Actually, new employees, no matter who, all need an adaptation period; making some mistakes at the start is very normal.

Wang Erhai deliberately seized on a small mistake she made, and subjected her to various criticisms and lectures; this is typical psychological suppression and control, which is what later people call "workplace PUA".

This caused Xiao Mei's pressure at work to multiply, plunging Xiao Mei into anxiety and panic.

To the point that she suffered endocrine disorder.

It's only been one week since she joined Shanhai Real Estate; Xiao Mei's originally lovely face began to break out in acne, her whole person became haggard by a lot.

She even felt she could barely hold on.

Even Wang Dashan found Wang Erhai's this kind of behavior a bit unsightly.

He pulled Wang Erhai aside for a private talk:

"Second Brother, Xiao Mei treats you with a piece of true heart; you treating her like this, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Wang Erhai, however, laughed it off:

"True heart my ass!"

Then said:

"If she really had even a tiny bit of love for me, back at Hao Ge's computer store, when I lowered myself to actively pursue her so many times, she couldn't possibly have remained completely indifferent; now she takes the initiative to come find me, it's purely because our Shanhai Real Estate is developing not bad, that's all; believe it or not, the day Shanhai Real Estate fails, she'll immediately leave without the slightest hesitation."

One has to admit, Wang Erhai sees quite thoroughly.

Xiao Mei's feelings toward Wang Erhai indeed aren't so-called true love.

Wang Erhai's appearance is plain and unremarkable; to make a girl fall in love with him from the bottom of her heart, honestly speaking, that really has some difficulty.

If he didn't have some achievements now, Xiao Mei indeed would be impossible to take the initiative to approach him.

And the reason he chose to retaliate like this is completely because of anger in his heart.

Once he poured out his heart and soul, yet couldn't exchange for a shred of return.

Now that he has money, the other party actually takes the initiative to throw herself at him.

What exactly is love?

Isn't love sacred?

Why has it become so realistic, so cheap?

Wang Erhai couldn't help but feel amused in his heart.

"If you don't like her, then don't let her come to our company; torturing her like this is a bit not too honorable."

Wang Dashan said this.

Wang Erhai countered instead:

"Big Brother, if Du Xiaojuan came to our company on her own initiative to be a salesperson, how would you treat her?"

Wang Dashan was stumped by the question, and for a moment could not answer.

His hatred for Du Xiaojuan was actually no less than Wang Erhai's hatred for Xiao Mei.

If Du Xiaojuan really came to Shanhai Real Estate to be a salesperson, he did not know how he would treat Du Xiaojuan either.

Perhaps he might even go further than Wang Erhai, who knows.

"Fine, fine, do as you like, as long as it doesn't affect the company's operations, then I won't interfere with you."

Finally Wang Dashan said this one sentence, and then said nothing more.

Wang Erhai took out a cigarette and smoked it.

He stood there in thought for a long time.

Only after finishing that cigarette did he stand up and walk out of the office.

He went directly to the desk next to Xiao Mei's, and said to the company's other salesperson Zhang Xiaoyun:

"Xiaoyun, how about we go see a movie tonight? I just bought two tickets for Painted Skin 2."

Faced with this sudden invitation, Zhang Xiaoyun could not help but feel flattered and surprised, after all, this man who invited her to see a movie, though ordinary in appearance, was nevertheless the company's second-in-command.

She was just an ordinary real estate saleswoman; if she could attach herself to the Big Boss, her life afterward would be much more relaxed.

So she immediately happily agreed:

"Sure, thank you, Manager Wang Er!"

The employees of Shanhai Real Estate generally called Wang Dashan Manager Wang Da, and called Wang Erhai Manager Wang Er, to distinguish between the two brothers' titles.

Xiao Mei, standing to the side, watched, and had long been struck in her inner heart.

She could only hurriedly lower her head, flustered as she continued to dial customer calls.

To feign composure.

But in reality, her face was already full of fluster and confusion.

And Wang Erhai casually glanced at her reaction, then revealed a satisfied and triumphant smile.
