Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Erhai's face was full of embarrassment, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

Deng Hongyun's maneuver was clearly overly concerned.

They had only met for the first time at this dinner tonight; what merit or ability did she have to help them choose a date?

How presumptuous!

But she was determined to do it.

She completely disregarded Wang Erhai and Liu Mei Qi's feelings, and didn't care whether they agreed or not.

It wasn't because she didn't understand etiquette.

But because she wanted to make this matter a done deal.

As long as Liu Mei Qi wasn't married, she, Zhang Sheng's original wife, couldn't rest easy for a day.

If Liu Mei Qi got married and still dared to mess around with Zhang Sheng, then when she counterattacked, she could get a hold of Liu Mei Qi's weakness, thereby gaining greater benefits for herself.

Wang Erhai and Liu Mei Qi were still stunned, but Deng Hongyun had already started flipping through the almanac.

Zhang Sheng beside them was also helping to look.

The two couples were so enthusiastically helping Wang Erhai and Liu Mei Qi find an auspicious day that those who didn't know would think they were Wang Erhai and Liu Mei Qi's parents.

"The 1st of next month isn't bad; look, it's auspicious for marriage and travel. What are your zodiac signs?"

"I'm a sheep..." Wang Erhai answered dryly.

He was now thinking about how to decline Deng Hongyun's "kindness."

"I'm a monkey." After her surprise, Liu Mei Qi was much calmer.

Because for her, this might not be a bad thing.

Deep down, she actually wanted to secure Wang Erhai as soon as possible, to avoid complications later.

As for feelings, she knew Wang Erhai didn't love her, but time reveals a person's heart; as long as they got along for a long time, she was confident she could make Wang Erhai fall in love with her.

"Madam, actually this matter, there's no need for you to trouble yourself for us..." Wang Erhai tactfully expressed his thoughts.

Deng Hongyun enthusiastically said:

"You two youngsters don't understand these things; it's only right that I help you take a look. Who made you two my husband's good friends... You're a sheep, you're a monkey; the 1st of next month clashes with the monkey, so this day won't do..."

"It's already mid-month now; the 1st of next month is a bit too rushed. Take another look to see if there are any other days?" Zhang Sheng beside them said.

"I'm looking, don't rush me." Deng Hongyun licked her finger with every page of the almanac she turned, flipping page by page.

Wang Erhai still wanted to speak up to refuse, at this moment Zhang Sheng said to him:

"When the time comes for your wedding, I'll hand you a contract, giving the sales agency rights of Huangsheng New City to Shanhai Real Estate. I'll give you this wedding gift; is that alright?"

Zhang Sheng saying this directly blocked Wang Erhai's mouth that wanted to resist.

He wanted the sales agency rights of Huangsheng New City too much.

As long as he got the sales agency rights of Huangsheng New City, then Shanhai Real Estate would definitely skyrocket, and he could easily earn several million or even tens of millions.

Only those who had done real estate intermediary business knew how great the temptation was.

Wang Erhai also knew that him marrying Liu Mei Qi was the price for him to get the sales agency rights of Huangsheng New City; if he didn't want to pay this price, then it was absolutely impossible to get the sales agency rights of Huangsheng New City.

"I think New Year's Day is a good day!"

Deng Hongyun said this at this time.

She had already flipped the almanac to New Year's Day.

"This day is auspicious for everything, and it doesn't clash with your zodiac signs. Also, everyone is off on New Year's Day, so relatives and friends can all come to attend your wedding. How about setting the wedding on New Year's Day? What do you think?"

Deng Hongyun looked up at Wang Erhai and Liu Mei Qi; on her old face, she still wore a kind and amiable smile.

"What do you think?" Liu Mei Qi nudged Wang Erhai's arm. "I'll listen to you."

She threw the difficult problem to Wang Erhai; that way, even if she angered Deng Hongyun, she wouldn't have to take responsibility.

"Now there's only a little over a month left until New Year's Day; won't it be too rushed..."

Wang Erhai still wanted to delay; he only wanted to get the sales agency rights of Huangsheng New City, not marry Liu Mei Qi.

He and Liu Mei Qi weren't even very familiar yet; to just get married like that, wasn't it too hasty!

"No, it's nearly two months; not rushed at all, the timing is just right. Then you can go take wedding photos, and on the way go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the certificate, then notify relatives and friends, count roughly how many people will come, and then hold the banquet at our Huangsheng Hotel. We'll give you an internal discount price, just charging you the cost of the food ingredients!"

Deng Hongyun said this, truly extremely enthusiastic.

Zhang Sheng also said:

"With nearly two months to prepare, it's indeed not hasty; there's plenty of time. For marriage, earlier is better than later. You two have been getting along for over half a year; it's time to get married. Once that stage passes, you might not have the impulse to marry anymore. Finalize it as soon as possible. Besides, after New Year's Day, Huangsheng New City will open sales. If you don't finalize this matter soon, how can I give you the sales agency rights?"

What Zhang Sheng said: the earlier parts were polite talk; the last sentence was the key point.

Hearing this, Wang Erhai also felt it made sense.

If they got the sales agency rights after opening sales, there would be no profit to be made. Only by getting the general agency rights before opening sales could they earn enough money.

"Alright then, we'll listen to you two elders. I and Mei Qi will hold the wedding on New Year's Day!"

Finally, Wang Erhai said this sentence.

For the development of Shanhai Real Estate, for earning money, for being able to succeed in his career, he went all out.

It's just marriage; what's the big deal!

"That's right! Young people who listen to advice are good youths!"

Deng Hongyun laughed heartily.

This time she laughed sincerely, no longer the polite fake smile from before.

She had finally pulled out this thorn named Liu Mei Qi.

Although she paid a price, that price was bearable.

Giving Huangsheng New City's sales agency rights to Shanhai Real Estate appeared to give Wang Erhai a huge benefit, but Huangsheng Real Estate actually held shares in Shanhai Real Estate, meaning the money Shanhai Real Estate earned through Huangsheng New City would eventually have part of it returned to Huangsheng Real Estate.

The shares held by Huangsheng New City were still under Liu Mei Qi's name, but as long as Zhang Sheng spoke up and offered some benefits, Liu Mei Qi should agree to transfer all her Shanhai shares under her personal name to Huangsheng New City.

This could be considered everyone getting what they wanted, right?

Wang Erhai got the Huangsheng New City sales agency rights he wanted.

Liu Mei Qi successfully caught this potential stock in her eyes, Wang Erhai.

Zhang Sheng smoothly got rid of Liu Mei Qi, thereby resolving the family crisis.

Deng Hongyun preserved her position as Zhang Sheng's original wife and the matriarch of the family.

However, although it was a situation where everyone got what they wanted, Wang Erhai was clearly not very satisfied.

He really didn't want to marry Liu Mei Qi!

Marrying someone he didn't love, the days ahead would be so painful he didn't even dare imagine it!

On the way driving Liu Mei Qi back, Wang Erhai couldn't help but complain:

"Is this too absurd? Are we really going to marry like this? And our wedding date was set by an outsider—what kind of thing is this? Simply absurd to the extreme!"
