Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

In the blink of an eye it was seven-thirty in the evening; Liu Mei Qi had put on her clothes, finished her makeup, and called Wang Erhai to get up.

Wang Erhai went to wash his face, washing away the fatigue on his body, then went with Liu Mei Qi to Huangsheng Hotel for the appointment.

What Wang Erhai and Liu Mei Qi never expected was that for this dinner tonight, Zhang Sheng actually brought his wife along.

Zhang Sheng's wife was named Deng Hongyun, a middle-aged woman in her forties; although she dressed in a luxurious and dignified manner, because of her age, her figure inevitably showed some signs of aging.

"Manager Wang, Mei Qi, come, sit over here!"

Zhang Sheng warmly entertained Wang Erhai and Liu Mei Qi, his words and conduct were very polite and easygoing, with not a trace of arrogance.

"This is my wife, Deng Hongyun!"

Zhang Sheng introduced his wife to Wang Erhai and Liu Mei Qi, then said to Deng Hongyun:

"Wife, this is the outstanding young man I told you about before, Manager Wang Erhai Wang; this is Manager Wang's partner at Shanhai Real Estate, and also Manager Wang's girlfriend, Miss Liu Mei Qi."

Deng Hongyun smiled politely and shook hands with the two of them.

Wang Erhai responded politely and courteously.

Liu Mei Qi smiled, but with a hint of awkwardness.

Because she and Deng Hongyun had met long ago.

This was something Zhang Sheng had known for a long time.

But now Zhang Sheng went to great lengths to act as if she and Deng Hongyun did not know each other, making introductions for the other party; the meaning behind it was very worth pondering.

The etiquette here should be for Wang Erhai to see.

However, this dinner should have been arranged for Deng Hongyun.

Putting it highly, there was much to it; but putting it plainly, it was actually Zhang Sheng trying to smooth things over.

It was very obvious that Deng Hongyun already knew Zhang Sheng and Liu Mei Qi had an improper relationship, and Zhang Sheng arranged this dinner, bringing Liu Mei Qi and Wang Erhai before Deng Hongyun, just to tell Deng Hongyun that Miss Liu Mei Qi now had a boyfriend, so she shouldn't harbor any improper thoughts.

The most wonderful thing was that Zhang Sheng had not told Wang Erhai and Liu Mei Qi beforehand that his wife would be present tonight, only saying they would discuss some business at the dinner.

Very obviously, now at this dinner, they had to satisfy his wife first before they could discuss business afterward.

And whether Wang Erhai's feelings for Liu Mei Qi were genuine or feigned, in order for the business to be concluded smoothly, he would definitely try his best to act in a way that satisfied Deng Hongyun.

Wang Erhai's comprehension was actually quite high; when he saw Zhang Sheng bring his own wife along, he knew this dinner was not simple, and at the same time, he became even more certain that Zhang Sheng and Liu Mei Qi indeed had a relationship that could not see the light of day.

However, in order to successfully reach a cooperation with Zhang Sheng, he still endured it.

Everything had to wait until after the dinner ended before making other plans.

"You two, truly a talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven!"

Deng Hongyun looked at Wang Erhai and Liu Mei Qi with a happy smile, asking with concern in the posture of an elder:

"When do you plan to get married? I'm waiting to eat your wedding candy!"

Wang Erhai smiled politely and said:

"Soon, soon, it shouldn't be long before we get married."

Liu Mei Qi, standing to the side, saw Wang Erhai answer like this, and her heart was full of surprise.

She was very certain that Wang Erhai had absolutely no intention of marrying her at all.

But she never expected that Wang Erhai would actually say in front of Deng Hongyun that he and she were about to get married.

Why did Wang Erhai say that?

It was very obviously because he had already seen through the essence of this dinner, deliberately saying some things Deng Hongyun liked to hear, in order to eliminate the worries about the cooperation between Shanhai Real Estate and Huangsheng Real Estate.

As expected, as soon as he said this, not only did Deng Hongyun show satisfaction, but Zhang Sheng also secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with satisfaction.

Zhang Sheng also said:

"When you get married, I must give you a big red envelope!"

Wang Erhai smiled politely:

"When the time comes, for my and Mei Qi's wedding, if General Manager Zhang and your wife can attend, that will be our great honor; why would we need a big red envelope?"

Liu Mei Qi smiled and echoed:

"Yes, yes, just give a red envelope of one or two hundred yuan for good luck, no need to spend a lot!"

Deng Hongyun smiled and said:

"What good morals this young lady has, not materialistic, not snobbish; Manager Wang, you are truly blessed to find such a partner; if my son could find such a partner in the future, that would be great!"

Deng Hongyun was also old and crafty; when praising Liu Mei Qi, she was not stingy at all.

Only Liu Mei Qi herself knew that when Deng Hongyun had privately found her before, she had scolded her as a worn-out shoe, as a lowly thing, and had slapped her twice.

Even though she had strenuously denied having a relationship with Zhang Sheng, she was still cursed by Deng Hongyun with the most vicious language and struck with the most ruthless means.

It was precisely because of Deng Hongyun's retaliation that Liu Mei Qi was afraid, so Liu Mei Qi agreed to Zhang Sheng's arrangement, left Huangsheng, and went to work at Shanhai Real Estate.

Looking at the kind and approachable Deng Hongyun before her, Liu Mei Qi couldn't help but feel a bit dazed in her heart; was this still that demon-like woman from before?

One could only say that there was a certain reason why she had been able to sit firmly in the position of General Manager Zhang's wife for so many years.

Such an old and crafty woman—how could Liu Mei Qi possibly compete with her?

So now Liu Mei Qi had completely given up the idea of rising to become Zhang Sheng's official wife; she now only wanted wholeheartedly to seize Wang Erhai, this promising prospect.

However, Wang Erhai's various behaviors made her heart very uneasy.

Because she felt that Wang Erhai had most likely already known about her previous relationship with Zhang Sheng.

"No matter what, I must stubbornly refuse to admit it; as long as I don't admit it, Wang Erhai can do nothing to me..."

Liu Mei Qi warned herself inwardly.

What could be admitted, what absolutely could not be admitted—she was an adult with rich social experience and knew her limits.

Liu Mei Qi was still lost in thought, while Wang Erhai continued speaking words to flatter Deng Hongyun:

"Madam, your son's conditions are so excellent; the partner he finds in the future will definitely be more than a hundred times better than my Mei Qi."

Deng Hongyun laughed heartily and asked at this moment:

"By the way, exactly which day are you two getting married? Have you set a date?"

This question left Wang Erhai stumped.

He had just said he and Liu Mei Qi were about to get married, but that was merely an offhand remark; he had never thought about getting married at all!

"Uh... not yet, but we've been picking a date recently..."

Wang Erhai could only reply like this.

"Right, right, we've been looking at dates; this matter can't be rushed..." Liu Mei Qi echoed, and on the surface, it had quite the flavor of a husband and wife in harmony.

"Marriage is a big thing; it's indeed right to pick a good day. How about this: since the dishes haven't been served yet, my husband and I will help you pick a date together. I've studied Feng Shui taboos quite a bit; though I can't compare to true Feng Shui masters, I'm definitely more accurate than ordinary fortune tellers. I happen to have brought an almanac; let's take a look together!"

Deng Hongyun smiled with a face full of passion.

When she pulled a thick almanac out of her LV Bag, Wang Erhai and Liu Mei Qi were both stunned.

Although she had already restrained herself, she couldn't help but show a look of surprise on her face.

This old woman actually brought an almanac with her to eat a meal!

She was clearly prepared!
