Wang Erhai had already made up his mind to break up with Liu Mei Qi, so he spoke very firmly.

Zhang Sheng continued to persuade him: "Erhai, don't be impulsive. If there's a conflict, everyone sit down and talk it over slowly. Once it's out in the open, it'll be fine. If you're worried about losing face, I'll go persuade your wife for you."

Wang Erhai hurriedly said: "General Manager Zhang, this is a family matter of mine. How could I trouble you?"

Zhang Sheng said: "Don't stand on ceremony with me. It was my wife and I who arranged your marriage in the first place. Now that you're having conflicts, I definitely can't just ignore it. Just tell me directly what's wrong with Liu Mei Qi that you can't stand, and I'll go talk to her. Maybe she'll change."

Wang Erhai smiled bitterly and shook his head: "How could she possibly change? She'll only think everything is everyone else's fault."

"It's normal for a woman to be hard-mouthed in front of a man. Don't look at me as a big boss, but my wife is hard-mouthed in front of me too. Say a couple of things to her and she's unhappy. But if an outsider says it, it's different. She'll listen as soon as it's said. Take driving lessons, for example. I taught my wife to drive. I said anything and she just wouldn't listen, and we almost fell out over it. But hiring a private instructor was different. The driving method the private instructor taught was exactly the same as what I said, but she only listened to the private instructor, not to me. That's just how women are. The more distant the relationship, the better you can communicate with them. The closer the relationship, the harder it is to communicate."

Zhang Sheng earnestly and sincerely advised Wang Erhai. These were words from the bottom of his heart. His wife was indeed like that too.

This is actually the attitude most women have toward their husbands.

"If Liu Mei Qi could change her unreasonable, temperamental nature, maybe I could still continue seeing her. But the problem is, it's easy to change the landscape but hard to change one's nature."

Wang Erhai sighed.

Although he didn't love Liu Mei Qi, if she could live a proper life, he could still reluctantly muddle along.

After all, as for love, he no longer held any illusions. Isn't living with any woman just living?

But he simply didn't believe Liu Mei Qi could change her character now!

Zhang Sheng said: "Let me go try to persuade her. If it really doesn't work, you can divorce her later. How about that?"

Wang Erhai hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed to Zhang Sheng:

"Alright then. General Manager Zhang, please go persuade her for me."

After all, Zhang Sheng was still quite influential in this small county town. People had said all this, and he was even taking the initiative to help. He couldn't let someone's warm face meet a cold butt, could he?

"Alright. Then I'll go to your company to find you now, and then we'll both go find your wife. How about that?"

"Yes, thank you, General Manager Zhang!"

Zhang Sheng personally drove to Wang Erhai's company, picked up Wang Erhai, and then they went together to Liu Mei Qi's house.

At this time, Liu Mei Qi was curled up on the sofa in the living room, still crying with tears.

She felt lonely, she felt hurt, she felt cold.

She had never felt so helpless before.

Just then, there was a knock on the living room door.

"Wait a moment, I'm coming!"

Liu Mei Qi thought Zhang Sheng had come.

She could finally feel a bit of concern, a bit of warmth.

She was about to get up and open the door.

At this time, Wang Erhai had already opened the door with a key.

Liu Mei Qi looked up and saw that the ones coming were not just Zhang Sheng, but also Wang Erhai.

He immediately put on a stern face.

"Why are you back? Didn't you say you didn't want me anymore?"

Wang Erhai looked speechless and said to Zhang Sheng:

"General Manager Zhang, look at her attitude? She only knows how to give me a cold face, never caring about my dignity and feelings!"

"Speak nicely if you have something to say, speak nicely if you have something to say. You're a young couple, don't be angry."

Zhang Sheng brought a smiling face and patiently persuaded them.

Then he asked: "Erhai, can I say a few words to Mei Qi in private?"

Wang Erhai nodded: "Go ahead. I get annoyed just seeing her face. I'll go outside to smoke a cigarette."

After Wang Erhai finished speaking, he turned around and went out.

Zhang Sheng came in front of Liu Mei Qi and opened his mouth to softly scold her:

"I gave you a good hand of cards. How could you play them so badly?"

Liu Mei Qi lowered her head, her face full of grievance:

"Wang Erhai simply doesn't love me!"

Zhang Sheng scolded her even more:

"So what if he doesn't love you? You haven't loved Wang Erhai either! What are you after him for? Didn't you know before you got together with him? How could you lose your original heart!"

"But I discovered I've fallen in love with him, and he doesn't love me. This isn't fair!"

"What does that matter?"

"I'm not reconciled!"

"You need to understand what you want. Is what you want really love? Ask yourself: if Wang Erhai were a migrant worker earning three thousand a month, with his looks and image, could you possibly fall in love with him?"

Liu Mei Qi fell silent.

Zhang Sheng continued: "Bottom line, you don't love him. You love the superior economic conditions and living conditions he provides you, right?"

Liu Mei Qi was even more speechless.

Because Zhang Sheng was obviously right.

If you truly love someone, how could you only keep taking?

And with Wang Erhai, she only kept taking, always thinking about how Wang Erhai should give, but never thinking about how she herself should give.

"But what should I do?"

Liu Mei Qi lowered her head. "I also want Wang Erhai to change his mind, but you know, he's now dead set on divorcing me."

"If he were really dead set on divorcing you, he wouldn't have sent me to persuade you."

"Was it him who sent you to persuade me?"

"Of course, otherwise I'd be bored out of my mind! To be honest, I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore."

Hearing these words, Liu Mei Qi's despairing heart sprouted a glimmer of hope.

"I really don't know how to get along with Wang Erhai; he always acts like he doesn't care about anything."

Liu Mei Qi was very confused; it was precisely Wang Erhai's attitude that had driven her to her current hysterical state.

"If you ask me, you should adjust your mindset," Zhang Sheng advised. "Just treat it like you're doing sales, and Wang Erhai is your client. You were once the Sales Champion; surely you know how to treat a client without me teaching you."

"You mean I should obey him completely?"

"Not exactly complete obedience. You tell me, which salesperson would completely obey a client? But one thing is certain: as a qualified salesperson, no matter how the client treats you, you must show your sincerity. And the most basic sincerity in sales is to speak well, neither think too highly of yourself nor be too humble."

Zhang Sheng also came from sales; he knew too well how to do sales, and precisely because he knew how to do sales, he knew how to deal with people and how to achieve success.

These were all words from the bottom of his heart.

"Treat marriage like business, treat Wang Erhai like a client, talk only about benefits and not love..." Liu Mei Qi muttered, lost in thought.

"Right, right, that's exactly how to do it. Anyway, you never loved him anyway."
