Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"Second Brother, I'm back."

Wang Xiaohua greeted Wang Erhai.

Wang Erhai smiled and welcomed him:

"Xiao Hua, it's good that you're back. Come be my best man tomorrow!"

Wang Erhai patted Wang Xiaohua's shoulder, saw his unkempt appearance, and hurriedly said:

"Your image needs some work... Sister Li, take my brother to get a haircut, and style his hair while you're at it!" Wang Erhai shouted to a makeup artist at the wedding company.

"Got it!" Sister Li came over to take Wang Xiaohua to get a haircut.

Wang Xiaohua smiled: "Then Sister Li, I'll trouble you."

Wang Xiaohua didn't care about his own image, but tomorrow was his two older brothers' wedding ceremony, and he absolutely couldn't bring shame to his two older brothers, so he didn't refuse Wang Erhai's arrangements for him.

After Wang Erhai arranged for Sister Li to take Wang Xiaohua to get a haircut, his mobile phone rang again. It was Liu Ming, the Deputy General Manager of the company's Sales Department, calling. Liu Ming reported to Wang Erhai on the preparations for the opening sales at Huangsheng New City tomorrow.

Wang Erhai gave Liu Ming some instructions, then received a call from Liu Mei Qi. Liu Mei Qi told him that the wedding venue at Huangsheng Hotel had already been decorated more or less.

Wang Erhai seemed very busy, as if even three heads and six arms couldn't keep up.

On the other end of the phone, Liu Mei Qi said:

"General Manager Zhang hopes we can hold an event at the wedding to help promote Huangsheng New City. What do you think we should do?"

Wang Erhai frowned involuntarily, feeling that Zhang Sheng was going a bit too far, actually wanting to use his wedding ceremony for advertising.

The problem was that advertising at his wedding ceremony actually wouldn't achieve much effect.

This made him once suspect whether Zhang Sheng was deliberately making him feel nauseated.

But in the end Wang Erhai still endured it:

"Fine, fine, no problem. Then we'll hold a lucky draw at the wedding ceremony. Whoever wins the first prize will get a unit in Huangsheng New City. What do you think?"

After all, Mr. Zhang was a big shot in the county town real estate market, and he still had to look at people's faces to eat his meals, so this face had to be given fully to them.

But Liu Mei Qi was immediately surprised:

"Are you crazy? Although our county town's house prices aren't high, a house in Huangsheng New City would cost at least six or seven hundred thousand yuan!"

Wang Erhai said:

"It's just a gimmick. The person who wins the first prize will definitely be one of our own people. At that time, we'll just go through the motions, put on a show for Zhang Sheng to see, and won't actually give away a building."

After hearing these words, Liu Mei Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright then, we'll do it as you said."

Wang Erhai then instructed her:

"Make plenty of preparations for me. Don't let anything go wrong at that time. I don't want to suffer losses because of this."

Liu Mei Qi said:

"Rest assured, I definitely won't make such a low-level mistake."

Wang Erhai had just hung up Liu Mei Qi's phone when Wang Dashan walked up to him:

"Little brother, I want to ask you something."

"Big brother, go ahead. What is it?"

Wang Dashan hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice:

"How exactly did you get the sales agency rights for Huangsheng New City?"

Wang Dashan had always had doubts about this. He felt that Zhang Sheng couldn't possibly just hand over this big piece of meat to Wang Erhai for no reason. There must be a deeper reason behind it.

But Wang Erhai just laughed it off and said casually:

"What else could it be? Because of my ability. Uncle Chunsheng's Chuncheng Garden sold out as soon as it opened sales. Zhang Sheng wants his Huangsheng New City sales to be better, so he naturally came to me on his own initiative to cooperate."

Wang Dashan saw Wang Erhai's appearance and knew Wang Erhai was lying, but he couldn't continue to press the matter.

He just sighed:

"The core values of our Mountain-Sea Real Estate are sincere management. Although I haven't asked much about this branch company you opened in the county town, it's still part of Mountain-Sea Real Estate. I hope you can always uphold the philosophy of sincere management. This is our foundation for survival."

Wang Erhai smiled and said cheerfully:

"Big brother, rest assured about this. You've even seen the office space of the county branch company. As soon as you enter the office gate, you can see the four big characters 'Sincere Management' hanging on the wall. Even without your reminder, I will always persist in sincere management!"

Wang Erhai has changed a lot now.

He has become much more smooth.

He has become able to lie without changing expression, speaking smoothly and glibly.

This can't be said to be a bad thing.

Actually, in this society, people like him can instead get along better.

Take now, for example.

The money earned by the Mountain-Sea Real Estate County Branch Company has actually far surpassed that of the Shanhai Real Estate Head Office in Guangzhou.

On the Guangzhou side, the Shanhai Real Estate controlled by Wang Dashan is still operating lukewarmly in the second-hand housing market.

While this Mountain-Sea Real Estate in the county town, under Wang Erhai's management, has already obtained the sales agency rights for two housing developments.

And in the future, if the Shanhai Real Estate on the Guangzhou side doesn't make strategic changes, the gap will definitely keep growing.

"Little brother, you've grown up. You're better at doing business than me now."

Wang Dashan smiled, sincerely happy for Wang Erhai.

Wang Erhai said:

"What's the use of knowing how to do business? Finding a good woman is what matters most. To be honest, I really envy you for finding a good woman like Eldest Sister-in-law. The one I found, sigh, it's really a long story. Just getting married, yet there are wedding photos to take and a wedding ceremony to hold, with so many rules it's maddening. Any little dissatisfaction and she argues with me—it's wearing me to death."

Wang Dashan laughed:

"A wedding ceremony might only happen once in a lifetime, so doing it well is only right."

"Then why didn't you and Eldest Sister-in-law do it better?"

"That was Xiao Juan's request; she wanted to keep it low-key."

Wang Erhai frowned:

"To be honest, this way my wife and I have stolen your and Eldest Sister-in-law's spotlight, which is actually wrong. After all, you're the elder brother; how can I, as the younger brother, steal your spotlight? I'm afraid you can't save face."

Wang Dashan smiled and let it go:

"What's there to not save face about? Face can't be eaten as a meal."

Hearing these words, Wang Erhai couldn't help but look at Wang Dashan with new respect:

"Big Brother, ever since you've been with Eldest Sister-in-law, you've really gotten better and better, whether in temperament or in Yi Ren Chu Shi. Finding the right woman is truly too important."

Wang Erhai truly envied Wang Dashan.

And Wang Dashan actually envied Wang Erhai quite a bit too.

Wang Erhai said Liu Mei Qi's family was quite good; Liu Mei Qi's father used to be an employee at a State-owned Enterprise, and communicating with him was friendly and accommodating.

But look at Du Xiaojuan's parents—their face of endlessly squeezing Du Xiaojuan really makes one feel they aren't marrying off a daughter, but selling a daughter.

Just thinking of Du Xiaojuan's parents' ghastly looks made Wang Dashan's head hurt; he didn't even know how to tell his parents about Du Xiaojuan's family situation.

Additionally, he was very worried that Du Xiaojuan's parents would cause an unpleasant scene at tomorrow's wedding ceremony.

Because of that IOU written to Du Guoqing, fifty thousand yuan had already been sent over, but the IOU still hadn't been returned.

Du Xiaojuan said Du Guoqing had already torn up the IOU, but he actually didn't quite believe it; not only did he not believe it, even Du Xiaojuan herself felt Du Guoqing's words weren't very credible.

Can only say, every family has its hard-to-recite scripture.

While you envy others, others might also be envying you.
