Li Xiulan
Zhang Sheng had just persuaded Wang Erhai when he turned around and called Liu Meiqi:
"Meiqi, I've already persuaded Wang Erhai for you. From now on, live well with him. Don't throw tantrums at the slightest thing, and don't lightly bring up divorce."
However, Liu Meiqi said:
"Thank you, General Manager Zhang. I've already decided. Since Wang Erhai is unwilling to live with me, then I'll divorce him. It's not like I can't live without him."
Hearing these words, Zhang Sheng immediately frowned, sensing something was wrong:
"What's wrong with you?"
Because just a few hours ago, when Liu Meiqi called him to complain, she kept saying she couldn't live without Wang Erhai, her words full of pleas to save the marriage. How could her attitude suddenly do a 180, and now she suddenly wanted a divorce?
"I'm fine, I'm very well. I've just figured it out. I owe it to my good best friend Yao Xueqin. If it weren't for her persuading me, I still wouldn't have gotten over it."
Zhang Sheng then suddenly realized. It turned out that woman Yao Xueqin had been stirring up trouble from the middle.
So he hurriedly said:
"Why listen to Yao Xueqin? She cheated herself, was caught in the act by her husband, and was finally forced to divorce. Don't get too close to a woman like that!"
Zhang Sheng knew Yao Xueqin's character very well, because Yao Xueqin had once been a member of Huangsheng Group's sales team, and Zhang Sheng himself had once had intimate contact with her, knowing what kind of person she was.
Not long ago she and her husband divorced, and with no source of income, she came to cling to him, Zhang Sheng, opening her mouth to demand he give her a management position, otherwise she would make a scene in front of Zhang Sheng's wife.
Zhang Sheng's behavior toward Yao Xueqin could be described as extreme disgust.
But there was no choice, after all his soft spot was being manipulated by someone.
Finally he could only take her into Huangsheng Group again, appointing her as group leader of a certain sales team, counting as satisfying her request to be a small leader.
If Liu Meiqi divorced Wang Erhai and then followed suit, learning from Yao Xueqin to manipulate him, wouldn't he then have two big heads?
So Zhang Sheng naturally had to strongly persuade Liu Meiqi to get along well with Wang Erhai.
"General Manager Zhang, I think Xueqin is very right. We women aren't unable to live without a man. I believe even if I divorce Wang Erhai, I can still live very well!"
"Where are you going to live very well?" Zhang Sheng looked speechless. "If you really divorce Wang Erhai, don't come back and cling to me later. We've long since settled everything!"
Liu Meiqi said:
"Rest assured, I absolutely won't cling to you."
Zhang Sheng, however, gave a cold laugh:
"When Yao Xueqin divorced her husband, she said the same thing. And guess what? She couldn't find a suitable job outside at all, and finally still clung to me, insisting I let her return to Huangsheng's sales team."
Liu Meiqi was stunned:
"Xueqin said it was you who begged her to come back. How is it now that she's forcing you to take her in?"
Zhang Sheng was even more speechless:
"Use your brain and think carefully. She's been out of the workforce for two or three years. No degree, no ability. The only thing she can show is her looks, but because she's too old, she can't compete with young women just entering the workforce. A person like that—would I beg her to come back? Even if she paid me to take her, I wouldn't want her back! The same goes for you!"
Zhang Sheng's words were very harsh, making Liu Meiqi very displeased inside, but she couldn't refute them.
Zhang Sheng said again:
"I'll say it again. Unless absolutely necessary, you must not divorce Wang Erhai. Not for your own sake, then for the child in your belly. Yao Xueqin threw her child at her husband, so she doesn't have to take care of the child and can go back to work. If you give birth to a child, even if I'm willing to take you in, you can't go out to work. Are you going to throw the child back to your parents to raise?"
Liu Meiqi was even more unable to refute.
Although Zhang Sheng's words weren't pleasant, they were clearly bitter medicine.
When Yao Xueqin persuaded her to divorce, she hadn't thought much about the child's issue.
After the child was born, she definitely wouldn't feel reassured leaving it with her own parents. With her mother's neurotic personality, how could she feel reassured letting her take care of it? Her father still had to go outside to do masonry work, and he himself lived with difficulty, let alone raising a child.
And if she threw the child to Wang Erhai, she wouldn't be willing. After all, the child was born from her own belly. How could she bear to just give it up like that?
Seeing Liu Meiqi still not speaking for a long time, Zhang Sheng spoke again:
"Listen to me. Don't divorce Wang Erhai. Don't hang out with Yao Xueqin. That woman is bad. She can't live well herself and wants to drag you down too. You absolutely must not be fooled. Wang Erhai gives you fifteen thousand a month. Where else will you find such a good man? Okay, I won't say anything else. If I say too much you'll get annoyed. That's it. Goodbye."
Zhang Sheng hung up Liu Meiqi's phone and couldn't help but let out a long turbid breath.
For the young couple Liu Meiqi and Wang Erhai, he, an outsider, truly worried himself sick.
If it were someone else, he wouldn't bother to care at all.
But he had to deal with Liu Meiqi. Otherwise she'd come running over to make trouble again, and his originally peaceful family would probably be thrown into chaos again.
Sigh. It's all my fault for being unable to control my impulses and making a mistake, so now I have to keep patching up holes.
Yao Xueqin's hole needs patching, and Liu Meiqi's hole needs patching too.
After hanging up Liu Meiqi's phone, Zhang Sheng immediately called Yao Xueqin.
In dealing with Yao Xueqin, he certainly wasn't as polite to her as he was to Liu Meiqi.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he launched into a torrent of curses:
"Yao Xueqin, can't you keep your stinking mouth under control!"
Yao Xueqin was a bit confused and said angrily:
"How have I offended you?"
Zhang Sheng questioned her:
"I'm asking you. Did you go find Liu Meiqi?"
"Yeah, I found her. What's that got to do with you?" Yao Xueqin didn't deny it, because she didn't think she had done anything wrong. "Didn't you break up with Meiqi long ago? Why do you care so much?"
Zhang Sheng said angrily:
"I'm warning you. From now on, don't stir up trouble in Meiqi's ear. I don't care what you go find her for, but if you keep persuading her to divorce, just watch how I deal with you!"
Yao Xueqin finally came to her senses:
"So you're here to demand an explanation from me over this matter."
Then she asked, puzzled:
"What does Mei Qi's divorce have to do with you?"
Zhang Sheng grew even angrier:
"Don't ask so much. You only need to know that if you dare stir up trouble in Mei Qi's ear and instigate her to divorce, I'll absolutely make you regret it. You yourself divorced unhappily, yet you want to drag others down with you. You're truly full of bad intentions!"
Yao Xueqin refused to back down:
"How am I full of bad intentions? That Wang Erhai simply doesn't love Mei Qi. If Mei Qi keeps being with him, she'll only suffer harm every day. Rather than letting her continue in such pain, it's better to let them divorce. I'm doing this for Mei Qi's own good!"
Yao Xueqin sincerely believed she was acting for Liu Meiqi's good, and she didn't think she had done anything wrong.
So she felt completely justified.
