Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Erhai hung up Zhang Sheng's phone call, sitting in his office chair deep in thought.

Zhang Sheng actually took the initiative to propose cooperating with him—wasn't that like handing him meat for free?

He didn't believe Zhang Sheng was that kind-hearted.

He also didn't believe Shanhai Real Estate was valued so highly by Zhang Sheng.

So after thinking it over, he could only conclude it was because of Liu Mei Qi.

This made him even more convinced that there was a shady secret between Liu Mei Qi and Zhang Sheng.

Thinking this, Wang Erhai's heart sank.

He felt depressed inside.

Wasn't this asking him to be the one who takes over the leftovers?

Giving him what others had finished eating—did they think he was a beggar?

But after the depression, reason gained the upper hand.

If taking over Liu Mei Qi could bring deep cooperation with Huangsheng Group, then it wasn't actually unacceptable.

Huangsheng Group was recently developing the largest housing project in the entire county town, called Huangsheng New City; Huangsheng New City was much larger than Spring City Garden, and it was right next to the County Government, with a very superior location. It was expected that as soon as sales opened, it would sell out quickly.

If Shanhai Real Estate could get the sales agency rights for Huangsheng New City, wouldn't Shanhai Real Estate directly make a killing?

You have to know, even for a small project like Spring City Garden, after Shanhai Real Estate got the agency rights, they made quite a bit of money from it.

But what if Zhang Sheng wanted him to marry Liu Mei Qi?

Would he agree or not?

Wang Erhai struggled inside, and he was somewhat unwilling.

He was even unwilling to take Liu Mei Qi back to Shangou Village to meet his parents, because he felt marrying Liu Mei Qi, this female sales champion, was no different from marrying a bar dancer, and would make him lose face.

So he felt that dating Liu Mei Qi was fine, but talking about marriage was absolutely out of the question.

Wang Erhai called Liu Mei Qi, and this time Liu Mei Qi answered right away.

"Manager Zhang asked us to go to Huangsheng Hotel at eight o'clock tonight to have dinner with him."

Wang Erhai said this sentence in a flat tone.

"Got it, Manager Zhang also called me just now."

Liu Mei Qi's tone was ice-cold; it was obvious her resentment toward Wang Erhai hadn't completely dissipated.

"By the way, was it you who told Manager Zhang about us being together?" Wang Erhai suddenly asked this question.

"I didn't tell him. Why would I tell him? He's not anyone to me." Liu Mei Qi hurried to explain, but as soon as these words left her mouth, she felt she had said too much, with a bit of the meaning of "the more you try to cover up, the more you expose."

"If you didn't tell him, how did he know we're dating?"

Wang Erhai asked in doubt.

"How would I know? Manager Zhang has so many eyes and ears; isn't it normal for him to know we're dating? Besides, you made this public in front of all the company employees—one tells ten, ten tell a hundred; it's only a matter of time before it reaches Manager Zhang's ears."

Liu Mei Qi explained like this.

Wang Erhai said nothing more.

Actually, he really wanted to ask again whether Liu Mei Qi and Manager Zhang truly had no shady relationship.

But in the end, he still held back.

Tonight at eight, they had to go to Huangsheng together to see Manager Zhang; he couldn't make things too stiff with Liu Mei Qi at this time.

Otherwise, if it delayed business matters, that would be a case of losing more than gaining.

So what should be endured still had to be endured.

"Fine then, are you coming to work this afternoon?"

Wang Erhai didn't pursue it further, but changed the subject.

"Don't want to go. I didn't sleep all night last night."

Liu Mei Qi said this, and her words carried a hint of blaming Wang Erhai.

Wang Erhai understood her meaning, but pretended not to, and only said lightly:

"Then rest well this afternoon. I'll pick you up at seven in the evening. I'm hanging up."

After saying this, Wang Erhai wanted to hang up the phone.

But Liu Mei Qi called out to stop him:

"Wait!"

"Is there something else?"

"Um, can you come earlier this afternoon?"

"How early?"

"Five o'clock. If it could be even earlier, that would be better."

Wang Erhai was silent for a few seconds.

He knew what Liu Mei Qi's words meant.

Seeing him silent, Liu Mei Qi hurried to say again:

"If you're not free, then forget it."

Her reaction seemed humble, like a snail's antennae—just touching something, it would suddenly retract into its shell.

"I'll try to be early."

Wang Erhai replied with that sentence.

Liu Mei Qi immediately couldn't help but laugh out loud, and all the resentment she had accumulated from last night until now actually dissipated in that instant.

"Then I'll tidy up and wait for you."

Even she herself didn't know why she would have such strong anticipation.

And as for Wang Erhai, he was actually quite looking forward to it in his heart.

As soon as he thought of Liu Mei Qi's beauty, Liu Mei Qi's perfect figure, as a young man full of vigor, it was impossible to say he had no desire to conquer.

As a result, when working in the afternoon, he became somewhat absent-minded and somewhat impatient.

Finally, grinding until four-thirty in the afternoon, he really couldn't wait any longer.

He left the company early and drove to Liu Mei Qi's home.

This time he was familiar with the route, driving the car to the underground garage under Building 20, then directly taking the elevator up to the fifth floor, arriving at Liu Mei Qi's door.

"Ding-dong!"

He pressed the doorbell once.

Then he sent Liu Mei Qi a WeChat message:

"I've arrived."

After a while, Liu Mei Qi came out to open the door.

Just as the door opened, the two made eye contact.

Neither spoke.

Wang Erhai walked in, closed the door, and then embraced Liu Mei Qi.

The two kissed tacitly.

All the negative emotions Liu Mei Qi had suppressed for a day and a night were released at this moment, making her wildly passionate, like a sudden storm.

How much she hated Wang Erhai last night, now she loved him that much.

In the blink of an eye it was six-thirty in the afternoon, the sun had already set, and the sky was growing dark.

Wang Erhai lay on the bed, his face showing some fatigue and melancholy.

Liu Mei Qi sat at the dressing table by the bed, choosing clothes in front of the mirror.

Unlike Wang Erhai's fatigue, at this time she was in high spirits, energetic, with a rosy complexion, like a little flower that had received nourishment.

"How do you think I look in this white dress?"

Liu Mei Qi took out a white long dress and held it up in front of Wang Erhai.

"It looks good."

Wang Erhai answered absent-mindedly.

No one knew what he was thinking.

"How about this red one?"

"That one looks good too."

Seeing his absent-minded expression, Liu Mei Qi became somewhat displeased and pinched his arm hard:

"Why are you so perfunctory!"

Wang Erhai winced in pain and quickly covered his arm:

"They really all look good, with your figure and face, what clothes wouldn't look good? Even if you dressed as a country bumpkin, you'd still look good!"

Wang Erhai was telling the honest truth; Liu Mei Qi was indeed beautiful, and beautiful women indeed looked good in whatever clothes they wore.

"When did you become so good at talking?"

Liu Mei Qi laughed, her face showing coquettish pride, and she felt smug in her heart.

But Wang Erhai was very tired and impatient; he turned away and covered his head with a pillow:

"I'm exhausted, let me nap for a while, call me at seven-thirty."

Seeing Wang Erhai's attitude, Liu Mei Qi really wanted to scold him a few times.

But thinking about it, wasn't Wang Erhai so tired because of her?

Considering his performance was decent, she wouldn't scold him.

"Fine, then nap for a while, I'm going to put on makeup."
