With the 200,000 Wang Erhai borrowed, Shanhai Real Estate finally got a chance to catch its breath.

Ever since Zhang Xiaoyun caused a scene at the company, the company's business fell into chaos.

Now almost all the company's employees have been completely replaced; the old staff are all gone, replaced by new faces.

Although this reduced the company's business capabilities considerably, it wasn't entirely a bad thing—at least regarding the company's strategic transformation, there was no longer so much resistance.

Whatever Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai ordered, the people below basically did it, though whether they could produce results remained to be seen.

The two brothers rallied and threw themselves wholeheartedly into operating the second-hand housing business.

Burn their boats.

Besides success, they had no choice.

Because if they didn't succeed, what awaited them would be the bottomless abyss of online loan overdue interest compounding on interest.

So for the next period of time, the two brothers personally went out to drum up business.

It seemed they had returned to that difficult period when they first started their business, but now it was clearly different from before.

They were no longer rookies; having experienced setbacks, they had matured greatly in their conduct, and they were already very familiar with real estate sales.

What Shanhai Real Estate needed most to restart was a big order to boost the entire company's morale.

At this time Wang Dashan made a decision: he decided to take the initiative to contact Ou Jiajie, an old client.

Ou Jiajie could be called the mastermind behind Shanhai Real Estate's predicament; he not only personally brought down the Xu siblings, but also led an internal blacklisting of Shanhai Real Estate within the new commercial housing industry behind the scenes.

If it were before, Wang Dashan would absolutely have treated him like a mortal enemy, seeing red and killing intent upon meeting, the kind of irreconcilable foe.

But now Wang Dashan was far more mature than before; after experiencing ups and downs, he deeply understood that in business there are no eternal enemies and no eternal friends—only interests are the kingly way.

So now he could contact Ou Jiajie calmly:

"Mr. Ou, hello, I am Wang Dashan of Shanhai Real Estate. I have a very good housing source I'd like to recommend to you. Whether it's location or house configuration, both are quite good, and it will definitely appreciate in value in the future. I don't know if you're interested?"

When Ou Jiajie received Wang Dashan's call, his expression couldn't help but show slight surprise:

"General Manager Wang, you actually still come to recommend housing sources to me? Did I hear wrong?"

Ou Jiajie laughed out loud.

He thought that after he had dealt Wang Dashan such a blow, Wang Dashan would hate him to the bone.

Unexpectedly, Wang Dashan was now actually organizing activities to contact him, and even said he wanted to recommend good housing sources to him.

Could this be a trap?

Ou Jiajie became vigilant inside.

"Mr. Ou, you didn't hear wrong. I really am here to recommend quality housing sources to you. I think this house is really suitable for someone like you, a property flipper, and I also very much need to maintain long-term cooperation with quality client sources like you. That's why I'm sincerely recommending it to you."

Wang Dashan answered calmly, his tone carrying sincerity.

"You don't hate me?" Ou Jiajie suddenly asked such a question.

Wang Dashan smiled it off:

"To be honest, I used to hate, but now I don't hate anymore. Because I know hate is useless. Standing from your position, you actually didn't do anything wrong. Back when you invited me to help you with things, I didn't stand by your side in time. I was too young and too naive then, thinking that as long as I didn't get involved, I could remain uninvolved and look on from the sidelines. In this either-or situation, I didn't choose to stand by your side. You treated me as your enemy back then and accidentally injured me—that's also understandable. I should even thank you. You taught me many principles and let me deeply experience the cruelty of this society."

After hearing Wang Dashan's words, Ou Jiajie fell into deep thought.

He was still vigilant, but also curious.

He wanted to see whether Wang Dashan was pretending or had truly transformed.

So he asked:

"What housing sources do you want to recommend to me?"

Wang Dashan hurriedly said:

"I have several good second-hand housing sources on my end: a villa, a school district house in the city center, and a self-built house in an urban village slated for old-city renovation. These housing sources all have considerable room for appreciation. If you want to know more details, we can make an appointment to meet and discuss in detail."

Ou Jiajie, however, said:

"Forget about meeting in person. Just organize the specific information about the housing sources and send it to me on WeChat. After I've looked it over, if I feel it's worth buying, I'll naturally contact you."

Ou Jiajie not agreeing to meet Wang Dashan face-to-face was understandable.

Because he was afraid that once they met, Wang Dashan would suddenly pull out a knife and stab him to death.

Who could guarantee that this meeting wouldn't be Wang Dashan playing a trick?

So being a bit vigilant was very necessary.

"Alright, then I'll send it to you later. You can learn more about these few housing sources—they really have great appreciation potential. If you want to buy, definitely come find me. I can help you get them at the lowest price."

Wang Dashan didn't hesitate and readily agreed.

Ou Jiajie being unwilling to come out for a face-to-face detailed discussion was actually expected.

If he were in Ou Jiajie's position, he definitely wouldn't dare to easily come out and meet either. After all, the previous matter had blown up so much and become so stiff.

After hanging up Ou Jiajie's call, Wang Dashan hurriedly organized the housing source data and then sent it to Ou Jiajie via WeChat.

Ou Jiajie looked at the housing source information Wang Dashan sent. It was recorded in great detail, with detailed introductions of the various pros and cons of the housing sources. One could tell Wang Dashan had put considerable effort into this data.

This made Ou Jiajie couldn't help but feel surprised.

Originally he leaned toward thinking Wang Dashan's purpose in coming to him was impure.

But now after looking at these housing source data, his ideas had changed somewhat.

Who knows—maybe Mr. Wang Dashan really just simply wanted to sell him a house.

Shanhai Real Estate could no longer sell new commercial housing now. The second-hand housing channels were relatively narrow. If he wanted the company to survive, he had to think of every possible method to find client sources.

And he, Ou Jiajie, this professional Qiang Lou Ke, was obviously a very high-quality client source.

At least a slightly more mature Boss would definitely not ignore such a client source forever.

After Ou Jiajie finished reading the housing source data, he immediately called Wang Dashan back, asking him for detailed information about the housing source, such as the owner's psychological expected price, the surrounding environment of the house, whether there had been any accidents, and so on.

Wang Dashan answered them all patiently one by one.

Ou Jiajie felt Wang Dashan's sincerity.

But this was still not enough to make him decide to buy a house from Wang Dashan.

Nowadays, there are plenty of good houses, he has many choices, there is really no need to buy a house from someone he has a grudge with; better safe than sorry, if something like Winter Melon Tofu really happened, wouldn't that be a loss outweighing the gain?

Buying a house is no small deal; one transaction is a business of several million or tens of millions, if Wang Dashan deliberately pits him midway, such as secretly embezzling his house purchase funds, what would he do?

So no matter how cautious, it is definitely not excessive.

Finally Ou Jiajie said:

"Let me think about it again; after I've thought it through, I'll call you again."
