Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Dashan knew that he and Xu Mingxin had essentially made an exchange.

Xu Mingxin helped him deal with his cousin, and he helped Xu Mingxin keep an eye on Xu Mingxin's younger sister.

This exchange benefited both parties.

So a tacit consensus was reached very naturally.

After parting ways with Xu Mingxin, Wang Dashan was just thinking about whether to go find Xu Mingmei for a chat.

But then he thought, it's very late today, better to wait until tomorrow at work to talk to her.

Right at that moment, Wang Dashan's mobile phone rang.

He took out his phone to look, and Wang Dashan's expression couldn't help but freeze.

Because the person calling was none other than Ou Jiajie.

Wang Dashan's brows furrowed slightly, a puzzled look on his face:

What is Ou Jiajie doing calling this late at night?

Although he didn't understand why, Wang Dashan ultimately still answered the call.

"Hello, Mr. Ou, is there anything I can do for you?"

Wang Dashan asked politely and courteously to Ou Jiajie on the other end of the phone.

Ou Jiajie didn't state his purpose directly, but asked:

"President Wang, are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to a meal and ask you to help me with a small favor."

Wang Dashan was even more puzzled, not understanding what favor Ou Jiajie wanted him to help with.

"Mr. Ou, if there's something you can just tell me over the phone, it's past ten o'clock at night now, the time is quite late."

But Ou Jiajie said:

"Some words aren't convenient to say directly over the phone. You come to Ye Se KTV now, as long as you can come over, regardless of whether you're ultimately willing to help me with this favor or not, later I'll go buy two apartments from you."

Hearing these words, Wang Dashan was immediately somewhat tempted.

In the end he still couldn't resist the temptation and agreed:

"Alright, then I'll head over right now."

Very quickly, Wang Dashan arrived at the Ye Se KTV that Ou Jiajie mentioned.

Wang Dashan entered the KTV and went to the private room Ou Jiajie had booked.

He saw Ou Jiajie currently hugging two bunny girls while singing Wu Bai's "Norwegian Forest".

Seeing Wang Dashan arrive, Ou Jiajie hurriedly had the two bunny girls leave.

Then he politely and courteously beckoned Wang Dashan over:

"President Wang, come sit over here, I'm treating tonight, do you want to order some fancy dishes?"

Wang Dashan gave a dry laugh, feeling some resistance inside:

"What fancy dishes?"

A wicked smile appeared on Ou Jiajie's greasy face:

"The two that just walked out, they are the two fancy dishes."

No matter how simple-minded Wang Dashan was, he understood what Ou Jiajie meant.

He hurriedly declined politely:

"Mr. Ou, how about we just get down to business quickly? You keep the fancy dishes for yourself, I don't have that taste."

Ou Jiajie didn't force it either, laughing as he said:

"Then fine, I'll speak business directly. I want President Wang to help me with a small favor."

"Mr. Ou, please speak."

"A while back, one of your Shanhai Real Estate's little salespeople, wasn't she together with me? To tell the truth, I'm tired of playing with her now, don't want to play anymore, but she's unwilling to leave me easily, keeps pestering me, annoying the hell out of me. How about President Wang you help me take her off my hands? Later I'll give you this number."

Ou Jiajie held up two fingers.

Wang Dashan froze immediately, his face full of surprise.

He completely didn't expect that Ou Jiajie would actually come asking him to do this kind of thing.

"I don't quite understand, Mr. Ou, what you mean by having me help you take her off your hands, what exactly does that mean?"

Ou Jiajie laid it out plainly:

"It means you go pursue her, you win her over, she has a new boyfriend, naturally she won't come pestering me anymore. I believe if you go pursue her, it'll be a piece of cake. After all, you're the top boss of Shanhai Real Estate, her direct superior, and you're so tall and handsome, with your image, there's no girl who wouldn't like you."

Wang Dashan immediately didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Not to mention Xu Mingmei isn't his type, even if she were his type, he'd be too embarrassed to pursue her. After all, Xu Mingmei is Xu Mingxin's own younger sister!

And the reason Shanhai Real Estate has been able to develop to its current scale is entirely due to Xu Mingxin secretly channeling clients.

Business is business, you can't mix too much personal feeling into it. This principle Wang Dashan still understands, but he's too embarrassed to refuse Ou Jiajie too bluntly.

After all, Ou Jiajie is a major property speculator client, and he still wants to keep him.

So he said:

"Mr. Ou, you're putting me in a difficult spot. Let me put it this way, this two hundred thousand of yours, to others it might be a lot, but to me it's just so-so, not enough to make me go pursue a woman I don't like. After all, I'm quite serious about love. How about you find someone else more suitable?"

Wang Dashan's words not only expressed his attitude, but also told Ou Jiajie that his offer was too low.

Two hundred thousand indeed wasn't worth Wang Dashan doing this kind of thing. After all, the benefits Xu Mingxin channeled to him already far exceeded two hundred thousand. He couldn't possibly risk falling out with Xu Mingxin over this two hundred thousand to do this.

Wang Dashan predicted that next Ou Jiajie would definitely ask him to name a price. At that time, as long as he asked for an exorbitant price, Ou Jiajie would surely retreat knowing the difficulty, and stop pressing him. Both sides would then have a way to back down gracefully.

As expected!

Ou Jiajie spoke up at this moment:

"I still feel that President Wang, you handling this matter for me would be more reliable. After all, the pavilion nearest the water gets the moonlight first; only you can quickly settle Xu Mingmei. If it were someone else, I'm afraid it would take at least half a year to win her over. I fear long nights bring many dreams. How about this — you name your price!"

Wang Dashan said:

"I'm just afraid the price I name, Mr. Ou, you won't be able to accept."

Ou Jiajie, however, said:

"You just go ahead and name your price!"

Wang Dashan said:

"This kind of thing that violates morality and taints love — for me to do it, it would take no less than two million."

Two million is ten times two hundred thousand!

Wang Dashan thought, at this price, Ou Jiajie probably wouldn't be able to accept it!

However, Ou Jiajie's reaction completely exceeded Wang Dashan's expectations!

Only to see Ou Jiajie ponder for a moment, and in the end he actually agreed readily!

"Deal. Two million it is. I'll give you one million first. You start pursuing Xu Mingmei tomorrow. Settle her within a month. After you and her formally establish a romantic relationship, I'll give you the other one million!"

Faced with Ou Jiajie's ready agreement, Wang Dashan was immediately dumbfounded.

"No... Mr. Ou, you're actually willing to pay even two million..."

Ou Jiajie chuckled:

"No matter. Consider it making a friend with President Wang. Two million alone — a decent apartment in Guangzhou costs more than that. What I want is to solve the problem. As long as the problem gets solved, no matter how much money is spent, it's not a problem!"

In fact, Ou Jiajie's ready agreement had a certain reason, and the most important reason was that he already knew Xu Mingmei held a good amount of evidence of his crimes.

Having Wang Dashan settle Xu Mingmei would cost only two million. But if he personally went to settle Xu Mingmei, the final expenditure would likely far exceed two million.

For example, if Xu Mingmei asked him for a few apartments, would he give them or not? If Xu Mingmei demanded he divorce his original wife and marry her, would he divorce or not?

And if he really married Xu Mingmei, then at that time when Xu Mingmei wanted to split his family assets, how much would he have to give Xu Mingmei?

Compared to these, two million is a mere drop in the bucket.

So if two million can perfectly resolve Xu Mingmei's problem, then it's actually quite a bargain.

Ou Jiajie also said: "Give me your bank card account, I'll transfer the money to you right now."

Wang Dashan's head buzzed; he simply couldn't believe everything happening before his eyes.

When it comes down to it, he's still too young, his horizons too limited.

This kind of thing is the first time he's ever encountered it, so right now he's completely dumbfounded.

Faced with such enormous temptation, Wang Dashan was like a starving person seeing a braised chicken leg — unable to resist.

Two million!

His Shanhai Real Estate, to this day, still hasn't earned this much money!

And now, he only needs to pursue Xu Mingmei and win her over to easily obtain it!

Is this a dream?

Is money really that easy to earn?

He also thought of how his ex-girlfriend Du Xiaojuan had long since built her company to a scale of tens of millions in monthly sales, while his Shanhai Real Estate had always relied on Xu Mingxin's profit transfers just to barely stay afloat, never really taking off.

He seemed to indeed need these two million very much, to make Shanhai Real Estate grow big and strong, to catch up to Du Xiaojuan...

On one side, Xu Mingxin's entrustment, asking him to help Xu Mingmei trap Ou Jiajie; on the other side, Ou Jiajie spending a huge sum to bribe him, asking him to help settle Xu Mingmei...

How should he choose?
