Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

And at this time, the other side.

Wang Dashan, Du Xiaojuan, and their group were still on the road returning to Guangzhou.

Du Xiaojuan was driving the car when she suddenly asked Wang Dashan a question:

"Speaking of which, you care so much about the new house back in the hometown—do you really plan to marry me once the new house is built?"

Wang Dashan replied frankly:

"I do have that thought, but I also have to respect your wishes."

Du Xiaojuan said at this moment:

"Marriage is fine, but I don't want to have children that quickly."

Du Xiaojuan didn't want to have conflicts after marriage over trivial matters, so she was also very frank, directly stating her thoughts.

She also explained:

"Right now, Xiao Du Technology is at a critical rising phase; the company cannot be without me for a single day. I won't give up this great career of mine just to have a baby."

Wang Dashan had no objection to this; in fact, he didn't want to have a baby that quickly either—his career wasn't also at a critical juncture?

So he readily accepted:

"That's completely fine; I actually don't plan to have a baby that quickly either."

Wang Erhai in the back seat interjected at this time:

"Uh, Big Brother, Eldest Sister-in-law, can I say a couple of things……"

"You speak." Wang Dashan said.

Wang Erhai then said:

"Mom and Dad will probably think that once you're married, you should have a baby. I'm worried that if you only marry but don't have a baby, they'll have opinions……"

Wang Dashan just laughed it off:

"Their opinions are their opinions; could it be that if we don't want to have one, they can still force us to give birth?"

Wang Erhai smiled bitterly:

"If they ask you, how will you answer?"

Wang Dashan let out a long sigh; this was indeed a problem.

The older generation is just like this: when you're not married, they urge you to marry; once married, they urge you to have a baby; once you have a baby, they urge you to have a second child; anyway, they just urge, and as for other things, they don't care at all.

"I'll explain it clearly to them: we're in the middle of building our careers; if we have a baby, who will take care of it? Could it be that we'd throw the kid in the countryside to be a left-behind child? I was a left-behind child when I was young; I absolutely don't want my own child to be a left-behind child either."

Wang Erhai, however, said:

"Big Brother, I understand your feelings, but do you believe me? No matter how you explain, they won't listen—especially our dad. You should know very well what kind of personality our dad has."

Wang Dashan had a massive headache; indeed, with Father's personality, no one could possibly persuade him—what to do about this?

This even made him think: why not just not get married for now? Not marrying means at most they urge marriage; they won't urge you to have a baby.

Only he felt too embarrassed to bring it up to Du Xiaojuan, because he felt that since Du Xiaojuan treated him so well, no matter what he said, he still had to hurry up and give Du Xiaojuan a proper status.

Du Xiaojuan spoke up at this time:

"Two options: either don't marry that quickly, or get married and find an excuse to muddle through."

"How to muddle through?" Wang Dashan asked.

Du Xiaojuan said:

"Just say we're in the process of pregnancy preparation—say we're trying hard but just haven't been able to conceive. Dragging it out for two or three years shouldn't be a problem; by then our careers should have stabilized too, and we can consider the matter of having a child."

Wang Dashan couldn't help but feel moved:

"Xiao Juan, you really think things through thoroughly."

The small sedan sped along the whole way, and before long they had returned to Guangzhou.

Wang Dashan and Du Xiaojuan returned to the residence of the two of them.

There was no one else around.

At this moment, Du Xiaojuan said to Wang Dashan:

"Dashan, if we're going to marry, I want to do a prenuptial property notarization—you shouldn't have any objections to that, right?"

Wang Dashan was stunned; a bad taste flashed through his heart, but he could also understand Du Xiaojuan's approach.

"Deal, absolutely no problem. I'm with you not because of your money; even after marriage, I hope our assets can remain independent of each other."

Wang Dashan had a driving force suppressed in his heart; he was determined to work twice as hard, striving to earn even more money than Du Xiaojuan in the future.

He absolutely could not tolerate anyone saying he was a pretty boy kept by Du Xiaojuan!

"That's good then; I think highly of you—your ability is no worse than mine; you'll definitely earn a lot, a lot of money in the future."

Du Xiaojuan smiled gently and took the initiative to hug Wang Dashan.

She had been worried Wang Dashan might have objections; she hadn't expected him to be so understanding, actually agreeing directly to this request of hers.

Du Xiaojuan proposing this request doesn't mean she doesn't love Wang Dashan; it can only be said that her head is really clear-headed, and she hasn't let herself become muddled because of love.

But this is normal too—women powerhouses who've fought their way out in the mall, which one doesn't have a very clear-headed brain?

Prenuptial property notarization can avoid a lot of trouble after marriage; even if they can't get along later, they can divorce quickly, without ending up entangled repeatedly, hurting each other.

This is actually beneficial to both sides.

Of course, this still isn't the most important point; the most important point is to protect one's own assets well.

A woman wanting independence can do without love, but absolutely cannot do without money.

An independent woman without money — that's false independence.

Many women still have to rely on men to support them financially, yet shout loudly about being independent and autonomous; when Du Xiaojuan sees such women, she just feels like laughing — these women simply want to squeeze more benefits out of men, bullshit independence.

If you want independence, go earn money yourself!

That is true independence!

"Xiao Juan, rest assured, I'll definitely make Shanhai Real Estate bigger and stronger; I'll prove to you that the man you've set your eyes on absolutely isn't a coward!"

Wang Dashan embraced Du Xiaojuan.

The two were just about to get intimate.

At this moment, Wang Dashan's mobile phone suddenly rang out.

It was actually Niu Chunsheng calling.

"Hello, Uncle Chunsheng, what's up?"

"Have you guys arrived in Guangzhou?"

"Just arrived."

"Actually it's nothing, just wanted to ask you — when will you have time to come finalize the cooperation matter?"

"Uncle Chunsheng, when are you free? I'll go by your schedule."

"How about tomorrow?"

Wang Dashan glanced at Du Xiaojuan; Du Xiaojuan said softly:

"Have Erhai go back to the county town tomorrow."

Wang Dashan then said:

"Uncle Chunsheng, then tomorrow I'll have Erhai go back to the county town, have Erhai sign the contract with you — what do you think?"

Niu Chunsheng chuckled:

"No problem; anyway you two brothers, whoever comes is the same. Oh right, didn't Deputy County Magistrate Xiao say she wanted to add your WeChat? You hurry up and add her, otherwise it'd be a bit impolite."

"Okay okay, I'll add her as a friend in a bit."

Niu Chunsheng then said again:

"You also don't be so guarded against her; Deputy County Magistrate Xiao told me the reason she's so enthusiastic toward you is she wants to use this connection of yours to pull your girlfriend's Xiao Du Technology into setting up a branch in our county town. Our county town currently lacks an e-commerce industry the most; she wants to seize this opportunity to fill the county town's e-commerce industry gap, that's all."

Wang Dashan was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud:

"Really? That's pretty good then; if our hometown county town can develop e-commerce, that's actually not bad."

Niu Chunsheng said:

"You find a chance to talk this over with your girlfriend, see if you can get her Xiao Du Technology to come to our county town and open a branch company — even if it's just setting up a logistics sorting station, that could bring quite a few jobs to the hometown. Deputy County Magistrate Xiao also said, as long as Xiao Du Technology is willing to come, they'll give a lot of preferential policies."

Wang Dashan nodded repeatedly:

"Okay okay, I'll talk it over with her later."

After hanging up Niu Chunsheng's call, Wang Dashan immediately told Du Xiaojuan:

"Uncle Chunsheng said Deputy County Magistrate Xiao never had her eyes on me at all; she has her eyes on your Xiao Du Technology, wants to use my connection to pull your Xiao Du Technology into the county town to open a branch company, and also said she'll give you a lot of preferential policies."

Du Xiaojuan heard this, froze for a moment, half-believing half-doubting:

"Is it really like that?"

Wang Dashan shrugged:

"I'm not too clear on that, but I guess what Uncle Chunsheng said should be true. Didn't you also say it — a Deputy County Magistrate, how could she possibly fancy a small figure like me outside the system? Her fancying your Xiao Du Technology is perfectly reasonable; if you can settle in, that counts as a political achievement for her too."

Wang Dashan then asked:

"By the way, do you want to consider opening a branch company in my hometown county town?"

Du Xiaojuan fell into thought, didn't give a definite answer right away, only said:

"I'll consider it."
