Li Xiulan

Wang Yaohua returned to Shanhai Real Estate and actually went to tender his resignation to Wang Dashan.

"Cousin, I don't want to work here anymore."

Wang Yaohua laid it out directly.

Upon hearing this, Wang Dashan rejoiced inwardly; he knew Xu Mingxin's strategy had worked, but he still feigned ignorance and asked with concern:

"Cousin, you were doing a good job, why do you suddenly not want to work anymore?"

Wang Yaohua replied:

"The salary is too low, three thousand five a month, I can't even support myself, and I was hoping to earn more money to get married and have kids."

Wang Dashan persuaded him:

"Cousin, isn't there still commission? Three thousand five is just the base salary; in the real estate sales industry, this base salary is already considered decent. Generally, real estate sales base salaries are just over two thousand. Once you sell a house and earn commission, it'll be far more than three thousand five."

But Wang Yaohua said:

"The problem is I've been at your place for two months and haven't sold a single unit."

Wang Dashan patiently persuaded:

"Cousin, why don't you persist a bit longer?"

Wang Yaohua sighed:

"I really can't hold on any longer."

Yet Wang Dashan still tried to retain him:

"Cousin, if you resign, I won't be able to explain to my parents, or to Uncle and Eldest Aunt. How about this, I'll raise your base salary a bit."

Wang Yaohua asked: "How much can you raise the base salary by?"

Wang Dashan said:

"I'll give you four thousand base salary, how about that? Right now, working in a factory, many factories don't even pay four thousand; this isn't low at all. Cousin, just stay, okay?"

Wang Dashan spoke with such emotion and sincerity, making it seem like he would really raise Wang Yaohua's salary, but in fact he didn't even want to pay the three thousand five.

The reason he acted so "magnanimous" was because he was absolutely certain in his heart that Wang Yaohua would definitely look down on this four thousand base salary.

Forget four thousand, even five thousand probably wouldn't make Wang Yaohua waver in the slightest, because Anjia Real Estate across the way had offered him a monthly salary of ten thousand.

Sure enough, Wang Yaohua refused without much thought:

"Little Cousin, stop trying to keep me, I'm really not suited to work at your company, I want to change environments."

But Wang Dashan continued to retain him:

"How about this, I'll give you five thousand base salary, Cousin, just stay, otherwise I really can't explain to Uncle and Eldest Aunt."

For a moment, Wang Yaohua was almost swayed.

Wang Dashan trying so hard to keep him touched him a little.

But in the end, he still hardened his heart to leave.

After all, a monthly salary of five thousand was only half of what Anjia Real Estate had offered.

No one would turn their back on money.

Besides, Anjia Real Estate is a large-scale real estate agency, a big platform with greater development potential, while your Shanhai Real Estate is just a small private company with fewer than ten employees; how can it compare to Anjia Real Estate?

As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to roost in; people go upward, water flows downward.

No matter how much Wang Dashan tried to retain him, he couldn't give up his own tangible interests for a bit of family affection.

So he said:

"Little Cousin, that you can offer me five thousand base salary moves me, but the decision I've made won't change. Rest assured, I'll go tell my parents myself that I'm leaving on my own initiative, it has nothing to do with you two brothers, and I won't let them blame you."

Wang Dashan said:

"Since that's the case, I won't force you to stay, Cousin. I'll settle this month's salary for you right now, issue your resignation certificate, and wish you a bright future. No matter what, you'll always be my Cousin, and our family relationship will never change!"

Wang Yaohua laughed:

"You'll always be my Little Cousin too!"

After a round of conversation that seemed sincere on the surface but was actually hypocritical and perfunctory on both sides, Wang Dashan settled this month's salary for Wang Yaohua.

There were still about ten days left in the month, but Wang Dashan still paid Wang Yaohua a full month's salary to demonstrate his loyalty and righteousness toward Wang Yaohua.

The moment Wang Yaohua walked out of Shanhai Real Estate holding his resignation certificate, a joyful smile immediately appeared on his face; he knew Wang Erhai had long found him an eyesore, and he didn't find Wang Erhai very pleasing either. Now being able to job-hop for a high salary — nothing could be better.

And once Wang Yaohua left, Wang Dashan also revealed a happy smile.

Good, this great Buddha has finally been sent away.

But if we're talking about who's happiest, it's definitely still Wang Erhai.

Wang Erhai went to tell Zhang Xiaoyun about this at the first opportunity.

"Xiaoyun, Wang Yaohua resigned, so you're satisfied now, right?"

Zhang Xiaoyun's reaction was rather flat, and she even muttered:

"What use is him resigning voluntarily? You should've just fired him directly, punished him severely! Now he walks away scot-free, making it look to outsiders like harassing me didn't cost him a thing!"

Wang Erhai hadn't expected Zhang Xiaoyun to react like this; it was clear she had a huge grievance against Wang Yaohua, and she had probably been tolerating him for a long time.

Wang Erhai could only soothe her gently:

"Xiaoyun, don't be angry, I'll take you out for a good meal tonight, what do you want to eat?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoyun's anger dissipated a little; although she didn't think much of Wang Erhai's looks, she truly enjoyed the feeling of being spoiled by him.

Wang Erhai spoke again:

"Xiaoyun, stop dwelling on those things, okay? No matter how you put it, Wang Yaohua is still my cousin, and I can't bring myself to fall out with him. Having him resign voluntarily is already the best outcome. Just tell me what you want to eat — whatever you want, I'll take you there!"

"Really?" A smile appeared on Zhang Xiaoyun's face as she asked, "Really, whatever I want to eat, you're willing to take me?"

Wang Erhai said with a very certain tone:

"Of course it's true."

Zhang Xiaoyun then said:

"I remember that Chen Xiaomei before, she said you once promised her you'd take her to the Guangzhou Tower's aerial restaurant for Western food."

Wang Erhai immediately showed an embarrassed smile; he had completely forgotten about this matter, yet Zhang Xiaoyun actually still remembered it.

"I just said it casually to her, I didn't actually take her."

Wang Erhai explained like this.

Zhang Xiaoyun then said:

"I also know you didn't take her. When you were pursuing her, you were poor as a church mouse, she looked down on you as a potential stock, and that's how I picked up a bargain. My meaning is, can you take me to the Guangzhou Tower's aerial restaurant for Western food tonight?"

Wang Erhai knew that place's Western food wasn't cheap, but to appease Zhang Xiaoyun, he still gritted his teeth and agreed readily:

"Absolutely no problem, tonight I'll take you there!"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoyun immediately showed a happy smile.

She took the initiative to hug Wang Erhai, and gave a kiss on Wang Erhai's cheek:

"Erhai, I knew you cherish me the most!"
