Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

In the blink of an eye it was afternoon, and Wang Erhai personally drove to the Sales Department of Huangsheng New City to view the new phase's model homes.

Yao Xueqin warmly received him and patiently showed him around.

After viewing the model homes, they went to the construction site for a walk.

When they came out of the construction site, it was already past five in the afternoon, nearing mealtime.

Seeing that Yao Xueqin had been running around for him all afternoon, Wang Erhai took the initiative to invite her to a meal.

After all, Yao Xueqin's first impression of him was still very good; this woman not only actively helped him fight for benefits, but was also very patient in character and had a good temper.

Unlike Liu Mei Qi, who was unreasonable.

Of course, Wang Erhai inviting Yao Xueqin to dinner this time had no other meaning; it was purely to thank Yao Xueqin for actively helping him fight for benefits.

"General Manager Wang, why don't we just sign a new contract? I've already persuaded General Manager Zhang to withdraw his decision to reduce your company's commission rate by one point, and he is now willing, on the basis of the original contract, to increase your commission rate by half a point."

During the meal, Yao Xueqin found another opportunity to bring up this matter.

She had to salvage this matter, after all, because she had previously made a private decision, she had already angered Zhang Sheng.

So whenever there was an opportunity, she proposed it to Wang Erhai.

"Oh? General Manager Zhang is actually willing to actively increase my commission rate by half a point?"

A hint of surprise appeared on Wang Erhai's face.

He always felt that something was not right about this.

They had just signed a new contract reducing the commission rate by one point yesterday, and now they wanted to tear up the contract signed yesterday and instead increase his commission rate by half a point.

This was like playing around, changing a signed contract just like that.

This was not Zhang Sheng's style of doing things.

Wang Erhai felt this matter was somewhat abnormal and there might be something fishy, so facing the new contract to increase the commission rate by half a point, he not only showed no happiness at all, but became very cautious.

Yao Xueqin saw Wang Erhai's misgivings, so she smiled and explained:

"It seems General Manager Wang doesn't quite trust this new contract in my hands, but that's normal; whose company's contract changes from morning to evening? But this time you can rest assured, I can guarantee with my personality that the contract is real, absolutely no traps, and nothing fishy at all."

Wang Erhai chuckled:

"I'm not saying I don't trust Miss Yao; General Manager Zhang is my old friend, and I trust him very much, it's just that I can't figure out why General Manager Zhang would do this?"

Yao Xueqin said:

"Very simple, it's because I persuaded him."

"Oh?" Wang Erhai became even more puzzled.

Yao Xueqin said:

"This is not for General Manager Wang, but for my best friend. I told General Manager Zhang that if you give General Manager Wang half a point commission on your side, maybe General Manager Wang will look at your face and continue to maintain his marriage status with Mei Qi, and if Mei Qi divorces and can't find someone better, she might blame General Manager Zhang, after all, it was General Manager Zhang who brought about the marriage fate between Mei Qi and General Manager Wang. General Manager Zhang heard this and felt it made sense, and like me, he also advocates persuading reconciliation rather than divorce, so he changed his mind and is willing to actively make concessions to General Manager Wang. General Manager Wang, to be honest, you and Mei Qi haven't really reached the step of divorce yet; Mei Qi is pregnant with your child!"

Yao Xueqin's words were spoken from the bottom of her heart; no matter how you looked at it, it was for Wang Erhai's good, for Liu Mei Qi's good, and no matter how you looked at it, you couldn't find a flaw.

However, it was precisely this kind of person who was the most terrifying.

She had one face in front of Liu Mei Qi, another face in front of Wang Erhai, and even another face in front of Zhang Sheng.

And every face seemed so real that people simply couldn't guess which one was the real her!

"Miss Yao, I appreciate your kindness, but please don't persuade anymore, okay? I admit I've wanted a divorce for a long time, but I just couldn't get one; this time it was Liu Mei Qi who actively wanted the divorce, so we could divorce. Do you understand what I mean?"

Wang Erhai smiled bitterly, raised a glass of wine by the table, and drank it up in one gulp.

Yao Xueqin continued to patiently advise:

"General Manager Wang, you know very well what kind of personality Mei Qi has; she has a bit of a temper and might occasionally throw a tantrum, but as her husband, General Manager Wang, you should tolerate her. Husband and wife, quarrels at the head of the bed are made up at the foot of the bed."

"Is that a bit of a temper? That's simply losing her mind! She doesn't just occasionally throw a tantrum, she keeps acting up, keeps acting up, keeps acting up! Acting up until all my patience was worn away, acting up until I went from tolerating and making do, to being annoyed, and finally to gnashing my teeth in hatred! Anyway, this time, no matter how you persuade, it's useless; since she actively proposed divorce, then I'll grant her wish!"

Wang Erhai became more and more excited as he spoke; thinking of Liu Mei Qi's various unreasonable behaviors in the past, Wang Erhai felt, what on earth did he marry back home?

"General Manager Wang, General Manager Zhang is willing to increase your commission by half a point now; even if you don't think for Mei Qi, you should think for this money. From reducing the commission by one point to increasing it by half a point, the difference inside and out is one and a half points; this is not a small amount of money."

Yao Xueqin continued to patiently persuade.

If you say she's being hypocritical, every word she says makes sense.

If you say she's sincere, her real purpose is definitely not to persuade reconciliation.

Because she knows Wang Erhai has already made up his mind, and nothing can change it.

Persuading Wang Erhai now is just to leave a better impression on Wang Erhai.

"No need to say more; I won't go back on a signed contract. Even if I lose money, I lose money. If you keep saying this, there's no need to continue this meal."

Wang Erhai laid out his bottom line.

Yao Xueqin knew when to stop:

"Alright, since General Manager Wang has said so, I won't say more. I toast you a glass; tonight we only eat and drink, and don't talk about anything else."

Wang Erhai watched Yao Xueqin raise her glass to him, a gentle smile still on her face, and his heart couldn't help but tremble slightly:

"Miss Yao, thank you."

He thanked Yao Xueqin from the bottom of his heart.

Yao Xueqin had done enough for him.

Although he didn't accept the new contract, he still had to thank Yao Xueqin for her efforts for him.

"You're welcome; no matter how you and Mei Qi are in the future, I hope to maintain a friendly relationship with General Manager Wang."

Yao Xueqin smiled faintly.

Wang Erhai laughed along.

"Miss Yao, rest assured, we are friends now, and will remain friends in the future."

He had not laughed for a very long time.

Especially a laugh like this one, coming from the heart.

That night, the two drank quite a lot of wine.

It was past ten o'clock at night before they parted.

Since drunk driving was being strictly cracked down on recently, they parked their cars in the parking lot beside the restaurant and walked Yao Xueqin home.

After all, this small County Town was not large; the place where Yao Xueqin lived was actually only about twenty minutes' walk from this restaurant.

Late at night in the small County Town, it was cold and deserted, with only two or three pedestrians on the Street.

The two walked slowly side by side under the dim streetlights.

Though maintaining the distance of friendship, under the slight intoxication of alcohol, there was already a hint of ambiguity.
