Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"Erhai, I was wrong, give me a chance, okay? You want to leave me..."

Zhang Xiaoyun was tearful and rain-drenched, no longer acting unreasonably as before, apologizing and begging humbly.

If time could return to the moment she first agreed to be with Wang Erhai, she definitely would not have imagined that one day she would adopt such a humble posture before Wang Erhai.

Therefore, from the very beginning she knew clearly that she did not like Wang Erhai; Wang Erhai's appearance simply could not satisfy her fantasies of a partner, and being with Wang Erhai was merely to gain better material conditions from him.

But fate played tricks; during those days with Wang Erhai, his meticulous care and near-limitless tolerance had already made her dependent on him, and she fell for him without realizing it.

During the days they were apart, she suffered greatly, her life was in a mess, and only then did she realize she simply could not leave Wang Erhai.

However, Wang Erhai had already made up his mind to end this relationship.

"You don't need to apologize to me; we are truly over."

Men and women treat feelings differently; women often use breakup as a threat, constantly testing a man's bottom line to prove how much he loves her.

But a man would never lightly test the bottom line of feelings; when a man truly says the two words "breakup," it means they really are breaking up.

"Erhai, I really was wrong, I'll do whatever you want, please don't abandon me? I won't ask you for compensation anymore, I won't act unreasonably anymore, from now on I'll listen to you..."

Zhang Xiaoyun threw herself at him, but Wang Erhai pushed her away with great dislike.

"Don't pull these tricks; I know you don't truly love me, and you know I don't truly love you either. You want my money for material enjoyment, you want my thoughtfulness and care; I want your looks and figure, I want your beauty to bring me vanity. Since we don't love each other, there's no need to keep entangling. Let me go, and let yourself go too."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoyun's tear-streaked face was full of astonishment.

She thought Wang Erhai knew nothing, but never expected Wang Erhai to see everything clearly.

Wang Erhai said again:

"I truly don't deserve you treating me this way. I actually don't have much money. Looking at this city, there are far more men richer and more handsome than me. With your conditions, you can completely find a man better than me who can give you better material enjoyment."

Zhang Xiaoyun retorted:

"Then what about you? After we break up, are you going to find a woman more beautiful and gentler than me?"

Wang Erhai shook his head:

"No, I just want to find a woman I can marry."

Zhang Xiaoyun was very unconvinced: "You mean I'm not suitable for marriage, right?"

"You are indeed not suitable." Wang Erhai laid bare his heart: "I've told you many times about my brotherly relationship with my elder brother, and warned you many times not to speak ill of my elder brother in front of me. You refused to listen, and kept stirring up trouble. We aren't even married yet, and you already dislike my elder brother this much. If we really got married, what would happen?"

"So your elder brother is always more important than me, right?"

Zhang Xiaoyun was heartbroken and very unwilling to accept it.

"Of course!"

Wang Erhai gave a definite answer in a very resolute tone, growling.

"We are blood brothers, what are you?" Wang Erhai was also angry. At this moment, Zhang Xiaoyun actually compared herself with Wang Dashan, which showed that deep down she had never reflected on herself, never truly recognized her mistakes. So Wang Erhai directly cursed:

"We could live in harmony, why do you insist on making me choose between two? Did shit get into your brain? That's my elder brother, not a mistress I found outside! Is he worth you being hostile toward? Besides, when I was tricked into a pyramid scheme and nearly died, my elder brother went alone to Guangxi to rescue me. Where were you then? What are you, to compare yourself with my elder brother?"

Zhang Xiaoyun was scolded into tears again.

She felt full of grievance in her heart.

She felt everything she had done before was for Wang Erhai's own good.

What could be wrong with her?

But now was not the time to quibble over these things.

She suppressed the resentment in her heart and continued to beg humbly:

"Erhai, I'll never speak ill of your elder brother again. Please forgive me this once, okay?"

However, her humility did not soften Wang Erhai's heart.

"Get lost!"

Wang Erhai, with a heart of iron and stone, shouted angrily, making Zhang Xiaoyun's delicate body tremble in fright.

Wang Erhai continued:

"If you don't get lost, I'll report you to the police!"

Zhang Xiaoyun knew that if she didn't leave, Wang Erhai would really report her to the police.

So she could only leave resentfully.

When she walked out of Shanhai Real Estate, all the employees of the company were looking at her with strange eyes.

Everyone whispered and discussed among themselves in private.

"Being the boss is different. Having money and capital, such a beautiful woman, and yet they tell her to get lost..."

An employee sighed secretly.

"Of course it's different. Unlike us workers, it's hard enough to find a partner, let alone a beautiful one."

Another employee chimed in.

"Let's work hard. Once we make money, we can start our own businesses..."

Wang Erhai came out of the office, and the employees who had been whispering suddenly fell silent.

Wang Erhai vaguely heard their discussion and felt somewhat amused and helpless inside.

What money did he have?

He had just finished paying off a loan of two hundred thousand not long ago. In reality, the money he could freely use now was only twenty or thirty thousand.

One can only say that starting a business and being a boss, outsiders see only the surface glamour. The pressure one has to bear behind the scenes is known only to the entrepreneur themselves.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel admiration for his eldest brother.

Back then, Shanhai Real Estate could almost see no hope, yet his eldest brother still withstood the pressure, overruled objections, and persisted.

This kind of steadfast quality was truly not something he could possess.

Perhaps this was related to his eldest brother having been a soldier.

"I know everyone is very curious about the relationship between me and that woman just now. Everyone, don't guess wildly. I'll be frank with you directly. Our Shanhai Real Estate's hallmark is sincerity. You must be sincere to clients, and I must also be sincere to you."

Wang Erhai didn't want the employees below to speculate randomly, fearing that as they guessed, various versions of rumors and gossip would emerge, so he took the initiative to confess:

"That woman just now is my ex-girlfriend. As you just saw, we had a quarrel over emotional matters, letting you see a joke. But now the joke is over, everyone work well!"

With Wang Erhai saying this, everyone had nothing more to discuss, and they all threw themselves into work.

The person involved personally spoke to explain, so the mystery was gone, and there was nothing more to gossip about.

Wang Erhai also threw himself into work. He went to clean up the office, then started making calls to find target clients.

In the real estate industry, telemarketing is an important channel for acquiring clients.

As a manager, Wang Erhai would also personally do telemarketing when he had time.

In a blink, it was afternoon mealtime.

Wang Erhai ordered takeout and continued working.

When the takeout arrived, he went outside the company to get the takeout.

As a result, when he returned, he discovered an extra cup of milk tea in the office.

"Whose milk tea was put on my desk?"

Wang Erhai couldn't help but freeze, his face full of puzzlement.
