Protagonist:
Li Xiulan
Wang Erhai was already busy, and after regaining full control of the Sales Department, he became even busier.
He found he simply couldn't handle so much, and in the end, someone still had to personally take charge of the Sales Department.
Whether this person was capable or not didn't actually matter; the most important thing was that they had to be one of his own people.
After thinking it over, Wang Erhai couldn't find a suitable candidate.
In the end, he could only have Liu Mei Qi return to the Sales Department to temporarily take charge of its work.
Liu Mei Qi had grown accustomed to the leisurely life in the Human Resources Department, and now that she was back in the Sales Department, she was unwilling instead.
After all, in the Human Resources Department, Dong Xiaoling helped her with everything, so she was just a hands-off manager, as leisurely as could be.
But back in the Sales Department, she had to make every decision herself and personally handle every matter, busy to the point of smoke coming from her feet.
"Wang Erhai, hurry up and find a sales manager; I'm more suited to returning to the Human Resources Department."
Liu Mei Qi, who had grown used to a comfortable life, no longer wanted to be a wretched drudge.
Anyway, as long as Wang Erhai handled the money-making, she just wanted to live a carefree life.
So Wang Erhai gave her an opportunity to return to the core department, yet she actually didn't cherish it at all.
Wang Erhai nodded helplessly:
"Fine, I'll speed up the search for a candidate during this period."
Liu Mei Qi suddenly mentioned at this time:
"Let's go to Guangzhou to look at houses this weekend."
Liu Mei Qi felt that now that Liu Ming had been dealt with and the company's hidden dangers were removed, it was time to go house hunting with peace of mind.
Wang Erhai, however, said:
"We still need to report the finances to Headquarters; let's talk about it after some time."
Actually, this was an excuse.
Reporting finances was something the Finance Department could handle; he only needed to do the final review.
Seeing Wang Erhai's attitude, Liu Mei Qi got angry:
"Wang Erhai, if you don't want to buy a house, just say it out! Old lady promised to put up five hundred thousand for the down payment, what else are you unwilling to do!"
Wang Erhai knew that in this matter he was indeed in the wrong.
Liu Mei Qi was willing to put up five hundred thousand for the down payment; the other party had already shown great sincerity.
Perhaps because he still had a shred of conscience and couldn't get past it in his heart, or perhaps because he simply couldn't find any more excuses, Wang Erhai finally agreed:
"We'll go house hunting this weekend, so we'll go this weekend! Why such a big reaction? Can't you speak properly?"
Wang Erhai rolled his eyes at Liu Mei Qi, his face full of impatience.
Liu Mei Qi's anger subsided a bit:
"If you can speak properly, I'll naturally speak properly too. I hope you can be honest with me, just as I am honest with you."
Wang Erhai, however, waved his hand:
"Don't say anything else, I'm so annoyed. We'll just go house hunting this weekend!"
Wang Erhai had always been on guard against Liu Mei Qi in his heart; how could he possibly be honest with her?
If he truly were honest, wouldn't that mean telling Liu Mei Qi that he, Wang Erhai, didn't love Liu Mei Qi?
In the blink of an eye, it was Saturday.
Liu Mei Qi got up early in the morning to prepare breakfast, and after finishing breakfast, she went to the room to urge Wang Erhai, who was still sound asleep, to get up.
"Hurry up and get up. After breakfast we'll go to Guangzhou, hurry up!"
"I know, let me sleep a little longer!" Wang Erhai covered his head with a pillow and turned his body over. He had fallen asleep very late last night, and now he was indeed a bit tired.
As for why he had fallen asleep so late, it was because he had insomnia.
He was very clear in his heart that if he really went to Guangzhou with Liu Mei Qi and bought a house, then his and Liu Mei Qi's lives would be almost completely bound together.
This was a major decision, one that could influence the course of his life, one that weighed more than marriage.
But in his heart he was very hesitant and very uncertain, which led to him being lost and confused, anxious and uneasy, to the point that he almost didn't sleep a wink all night last night.
"Are you getting up or not? Don't be like a lazy pig!"
Liu Mei Qi reached out to pull Wang Erhai's quilt, and after the quilt was pulled off him, Wang Erhai still didn't get up.
Liu Mei Qi turned around and brought over a bowl of water:
"If you don't get up again, I'll pour this bowl of water on you!"
Wang Erhai pretended not to hear and still covered his head with a pillow.
Liu Mei Qi gritted her teeth in anger and really did pour a bowl of water on Wang Erhai.
Wang Erhai was jolted by the cold water.
He jumped straight up from the bed, very angry:
"Are you neurotic!"
Liu Mei Qi, however, showed a victorious smile:
"Who told you not to get up? You deserve it!"
Wang Erhai said angrily:
"Can't you let me sleep a little longer? After you finish breakfast we'll set out; I'm not eating breakfast!"
Liu Mei Qi said:
"No way. I worked so hard to make this breakfast—how can you not eat it?"
Wang Erhai suddenly realized that this woman Liu Mei Qi was terrifyingly domineering.
Previously he had thought he had Liu Mei Qi under control.
It seemed he was still too naive.
Between husband and wife, where is there any saying of one controlling the other?
There is only mutual influence.
Wang Erhai finally went to eat breakfast huffing and puffing, took one bite, and stopped eating.
"It tastes terrible, what on earth did you make?"
Actually it wasn't terrible at all; Wang Erhai was just getting revenge on Liu Mei Qi.
Who let Liu Mei Qi splash water on him while he was sleeping?
Hearing these words, Liu Mei Qi was immediately hurt inside, and coldly said:
"If you won't eat, then forget it—go wash the dishes!"
But Wang Erhai was unwilling to wash the dishes:
"Will you die if you wash them once? Why do I have to wash them?"
Liu Mei Qi said:
"I should be the one saying that, right? I made the breakfast—will you die if you wash the dishes?"
Wang Erhai coldly said:
"If you don't wash them, forget it. Anyway, I won't wash them. I'm a big man—do you really have the nerve to ask me to wash dishes?"
Actually this had nothing to do with washing dishes at all; they were just competing with each other, determined to decide a winner.
"If you won't wash them, then don't wash them—throw all these bowls and chopsticks away as trash!"
Liu Mei Qi coldly retorted.
She thought that by saying this, Wang Erhai would back down.
After all, last time when they quarreled over washing dishes, she used this same trick to make Wang Erhai compromise.
However, this time Wang Erhai's reaction was beyond her expectation:
"Fine, throw them away."
Wang Erhai coldly said this one sentence.
Liu Mei Qi was furious.
She directly threw all the bowls and chopsticks on the table into the trash can.
Wang Erhai coldly added:
"Remember to take the trash down later."
Liu Mei Qi angrily asked:
"Why should I be the one to take it?"
Wang Erhai countered:
"You threw the trash, so why shouldn't you take it?"
Liu Mei Qi was speechless.
Her face turned white with anger.
Wang Erhai sneered:
"You want to compete with me? You're still too green! Hurry up and get ready, we're leaving!"
At this moment Liu Mei Qi instead became concerned about Wang Erhai:
"You really aren't eating breakfast?"
Wang Erhai was speechless:
"You threw the breakfast and the bowls and chopsticks into the trash can—what do you want me to eat? Trash?"
Liu Mei Qi said nothing.
However, when going downstairs to throw out the trash, she still stopped by the breakfast shop outside the residential complex and bought a steamer basket of soup dumplings back.
