Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

If they hadn't taken out a loan to buy this big villa back then, but instead paid in full for an ordinary commercial housing unit, they would definitely be very happy now.

Having a house, a car, their own family, a stable career, and no mortgage or car loan—such happiness is something many people long for.

They could travel whenever they wanted, eat whatever they wanted, have children whenever they wanted, with no pressure, and wouldn't have misunderstandings with their parents over having children, nor be like now, where explaining doesn't work and hiding it isn't an option.

"We just need to work harder, and we'll definitely be able to pay off the mortgage early."

Wang Dashan comforted Du Xiaojuan in return.

He couldn't vent his pressure and negative emotions onto Du Xiaojuan, because Du Xiaojuan already had enough pressure at work.

The biggest difference between them and Wang Erhai and Liu Meiqi as a couple was that they were of one mind and wouldn't argue and blame each other just because they encountered difficulties they couldn't solve.

"Mm-hmm, we'll both work harder, and maybe next year we can start preparing for pregnancy."

Du Xiaojuan forced a smile; deep down she knew that preparing for pregnancy next year was out of the question—let alone next year, if they could start within five years, that would already be burning high incense.

But she couldn't lay the harsh facts before Wang Dashan; she had to encourage Wang Dashan, and she had to encourage herself.

Otherwise she wouldn't be able to hold on, and this family wouldn't be able to hold on either.

"By the way, how's the situation at your company now?" Du Xiaojuan asked with concern at this time.

"The Jinghu Garden project has encountered some resistance in its promotion."

Jinghu Garden was Shanhai Real Estate's first project to re-enter the new commercial housing market on the Guangzhou side.

Previously, Shanhai Real Estate had been blacklisted by the new commercial housing market for various reasons; now, after so much time had passed, through Wang Dashan's unremitting efforts, they finally had some signs of re-entering the new commercial housing market.

It was a pity that they had only reached an oral agreement with the person in charge of Jinghu Garden, and the other party still hadn't given a formal contract.

Wang Dashan had Liu Ming, the most capable person in the company, handle it, and he himself had personally gone to find the person in charge of Jinghu Garden, trying every method, but there was still no progress.

The other party didn't take the initiative to say what they wanted, nor clearly refuse to cooperate with Shanhai Real Estate, just leaving Wang Dashan to guess.

And Wang Dashan wasn't very familiar with that person in charge, not knowing their background and preferences, which made it very difficult for Wang Dashan.

"Why not find a time, you invite the person in charge of Jinghu Garden out, and I'll go with you to talk to him."

Du Xiaojuan took the initiative to offer help. She had some understanding of that person in charge of Jinghu Garden, because that person in charge not only did real estate business but was also involved in e-commerce business, though he did e-commerce rather amateurishly, not as well as Du Xiaojuan did.

"Isn't your company busy?" Wang Dashan felt a bit embarrassed to let Du Xiaojuan help, after all Du Xiaojuan was much busier than him at work, "If you're too busy, just focus on your work first; you don't need to worry about my side. Even if we don't cooperate with Jinghu Garden, it's actually no loss to me, just earning a little less."

"It's fine, coincidentally I haven't been that busy these past few days, I can find time to help you."

Du Xiaojuan smiled and replied like this.

As Xiao Du Technology's business expanded, it suddenly couldn't rein in its pace, and its capital chain ran into some problems; now financing was imminent, and recently she and the company's executives had already started discussing this matter and had let the wind out.

If financing succeeded, Du Xiaojuan should be able to gain a large sum of money, and paying off the mortgage early wasn't impossible.

But financing carried great risk; one careless move could invite a wolf into the house, leading to her, the founder, being kicked out, so how to choose investors was actually more important than how to get financing.

She said she wasn't busy because she hoped investors would take the initiative to come to her for negotiations, so she could grasp the initiative.

Begging someone for investment and having someone take the initiative to invest were still very different.

"Then I'll make an appointment with the person in charge of Jinghu Garden tomorrow."

The person in charge of sales at Jinghu Garden was a middle-aged man surnamed Hu, named Hu Wanjia.

Wang Dashan called Hu Wanjia and asked when he was free; Hu Wanjia replied with a laugh:

"I'm free anytime, it just depends on General Manager Wang's time."

Previously when Wang Dashan had made an appointment to meet Hu Wanjia for detailed talks, Hu Wanjia had the same attitude—smiling on the surface, very easygoing, without airs—but whenever it came to actually signing the contract, he always had this or that excuse to decline.

He didn't give a definite answer, just kept stringing them along.

This was a typical old hand on the shopping mall, a smiling tiger; this kind of person was the hardest to deal with.

"Then tonight at eight o'clock, at Tian'e Grand Hotel, I'll treat; how about it?"

Wang Dashan tentatively made a suggestion.

The reason he made the appointment for the evening was to accommodate Du Xiaojuan's time; going to see Hu Wanjia in the evening, Du Xiaojuan could at least work normally during the day.

"Fine, no problem!"

Hu Wanjia was still laughing, agreeing readily.

After hanging up Hu Wanjia's call, Wang Dashan immediately told Du Xiaojuan about this on WeChat.

Du Xiaojuan replied quickly; she said she would arrive at Wang Dashan's place at seven o'clock in the evening, and then they would go to Tian'e Grand Hotel together.

In the blink of an eye it was seven o'clock in the evening.

Du Xiaojuan came to Wang Dashan's place, and then they went to Tian'e Grand Hotel together; first they reserved a private room there, then they contacted Hu Wanjia and told him the specific room number.

The two waited patiently in the private room; in the blink of an eye it was eight o'clock, but Hu Wanjia still hadn't come.

When they called to ask, he said sorry, saying he was still on the road and had encountered a traffic jam.

They had no choice but to continue waiting patiently; by eight-thirty he still hadn't come, by nine o'clock he still hadn't come.

"This Hu Wanjia, how can he be so unpunctual!"

Wang Dashan was a bit angry, even feeling that someone so unpunctual shouldn't be cooperated with, because such a person generally had no credibility.

Du Xiaojuan, however, persuaded him to wait patiently a bit more, and also said:

"This time we're the ones asking for a favor; we need to broaden our mindset and lower our posture, so let's wait a bit more. Even if he doesn't come tonight, we actually have no loss, just wasting one evening's time."

Under Du Xiaojuan's soothing, Wang Dashan calmed down and continued waiting.

In the blink of an eye it was nine-thirty, and Hu Wanjia finally arrived late.

As soon as he entered, he put on a harmless smile, and before Wang Dashan and Du Xiaojuan could speak, he took the initiative to apologize:

"Really sorry, the road was too blocked, which delayed us this long, General Manager Wang. Please understand."

Wang Dashan had originally wanted to say a few words to him, but he apologized first, and Wang Dashan didn't know how to open his mouth.

Actually, anyone with eyes could see that Hu Wanjia was deliberately late; no matter how blocked the road was, it was impossible for him to be late by an hour and a half.

"It's fine, it's fine. We came sincerely to seek cooperation with General Manager Hu. Good things take time; this bit of waiting is worth it."

Du Xiaojuan, on the other hand, took the initiative to speak up and help mediate at this time.

She wasn't like Wang Dashan, who wore all his emotions on his face; her ability to control the scene was much stronger than Wang Dashan's.

"Who is this?"

Hu Wanjia fixed his gaze on Du Xiaojuan, sizing her up from top to bottom.

"I am Dashan's wife. My name is Du Xiaojuan."

Du Xiaojuan reached out her hand and shook hands with Hu Wanjia.

"Hello, Miss Du!" Hu Wanjia laughed heartily. While shaking hands with Du Xiaojuan, he said to Wang Dashan, "General Manager Wang is truly blessed to have married such a beautiful wife!"

Wang Dashan watched Hu Wanjia hold Du Xiaojuan's hand, unwilling to let go for a long time, and couldn't help but feel a bit sour in his heart.
