Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"Thank you, General Manager Zhang. I'll keep your words in mind."

Yao Xueqin thanked Zhang Sheng, then said:

"But the problem that needs to be solved right now is that I have to get out of here. I don't want to be detained, I don't want a criminal record. Can you help go persuade Liu Meiqi?"

Zhang Sheng said:

"I'll do my best."

He then left Yao Xueqin's room and went to find Liu Meiqi.

"Mei Qi, I understand your mood, but you really can't keep making trouble like this."

Liu Meiqi resentfully:

"I just want to make trouble! Since I'm not having a good time, nobody else should think about having a good time either!"

She indeed acted on her words; she wasn't having a good time, and everyone around her couldn't have a good time either.

Not only were Yao Xueqin and Wang Erhai unable to find peace, but even Zhang Sheng, Liu Shanshui, and others were worn out physically and mentally because of her.

"You tell me, what would it take for you to stop making trouble? I'll go back and help you negotiate with Wang Erhai."

Zhang Sheng persuaded her like this.

"I want him to remarry me!"

Liu Meiqi's attitude was very clear.

"That's impossible."

Zhang Sheng didn't even go ask Wang Erhai; he directly gave a definite answer.

Because he was also a man, he understood Wang Erhai's feelings all too well.

If Liu Meiqi hadn't aborted the child, she might still have been able to use the child to threaten Wang Erhai, forcing him to remarry.

But she had aborted the child now, and that aborted the possibility of reconciliation.

"You didn't even go talk to Wang Erhai, so how do you know it's impossible? You tell me honestly, are you here deliberately trying to break me and Wang Erhai up!"

Liu Meiqi questioned through gritted teeth.

Zhang Sheng didn't know whether to cry or laugh; he felt Liu Meiqi was probably about to go crazy.

"Can you calm down? Back when you and Wang Erhai got married, it was me who matched you up. How could I possibly deliberately break you up? Back when you insisted on divorcing, I kept persuading you nicely not to leave, but you refused to listen to me. Now you turn around and blame me. You, can't you use your brain and think before you speak?"

Liu Meiqi was rendered speechless.

Zhang Sheng said again:

"Name a condition. Besides remarrying, you can ask for anything else, and I'll go help you fight for it."

Liu Meiqi sobbed:

"But I've already lost everything, and on top of that I'm saddled with a million-yuan mortgage, wuu wuu wuu..."

Zhang Sheng was speechless:

"Stop crying, okay? Speak properly!"

Liu Meiqi's attitude of either making trouble or crying really made proper communication impossible.

If it weren't for his own interests, Zhang Sheng absolutely wouldn't have been this patient doing ideological work on her.

"Then what do you say I should do?"

Liu Meiqi asked while crying.

Zhang Sheng said:

"In my opinion, you let Wang Erhai pay you some compensation, let this matter drop, and stop making a scene."

Liu Meiqi asked:

"Just pay a bit of money? And that's it, just let Wang Erhai and Yao Xueqin be together?"

"Otherwise what else can be done?" Zhang Sheng countered.

But Liu Meiqi said:

"I'm not reconciled! Do you know, Yao Xueqin used a vicious scheme to deceive me. She not only tricked me into going to Guangzhou to buy an apartment, she also seized that apartment of mine in the County Town! That apartment, Wang Erhai and I once lived in together! Inside it are recorded all the little bits and pieces between us! As long as I think about Yao Xueqin being in my apartment, on my bed, making my man, I can't breathe. I hate that I can't tear her into ten thousand pieces!"

Zhang Sheng let out a long breath of turbid air:

"This point indeed Yao Xueqin did go a bit too far. But things have come to this; we shouldn't keep dwelling on who's right and who's wrong. What we can do is stop the loss in time."

Zhang Sheng patiently counseled Liu Meiqi.

But Liu Meiqi said:

"I just want to dwell on who's right and who's wrong! I'm still saying the same thing: they let me not have a good time, so they also don't think about having a good time!"

Zhang Sheng was speechless:

"You, how can you not listen to advice? With this attitude of yours, there's no way to communicate."

But Liu Meiqi said:

"I don't need communication. I just want to kill them!"

Zhang Sheng could only sigh:

"Ai, looks like you're still not calm enough right now. I'll come back and communicate with you when you've calmed down a bit."

After leaving Liu Meiqi, Zhang Sheng went to find Wang Erhai.

"Erhai, these past few days, you've had it hard."

Zhang Sheng passed a cigarette over, expressing sympathy and understanding for Wang Erhai's ordeal.

"General Manager Zhang, I'm truly embarrassed; this mess of mine has dragged you into it."

Wang Erhai received the cigarette and hurriedly took out a lighter, lighting Zhang Sheng's cigarette for him.

He apologized to Zhang Sheng from the bottom of his heart.

Liu Meiqi brought her mother to the Huangsheng Xincheng Sales Building to cause trouble, producing a very bad influence on Huangsheng New City.

And the root cause of all this was that he, Wang Erhai, had failed to handle his relationship with Liu Meiqi properly.

"What's with the politeness between us? I not only regard you as a partner, but also as a friend."

Zhang Sheng appeared very approachable; he exhaled a mouthful of smoke:

"To tell the truth, I even feel a bit of heartache for you. I just went to communicate with Liu Meiqi and discovered that no matter what I said, she wouldn't listen. A woman like her is simply a disaster for us men."

Wang Erhai then said:

"That's why I've made up my mind to separate from her. My separation from her really wasn't due to Yao Xueqin stirring things up from the middle, but she keeps imagining things, saying that Yao Xueqin schemed against her."

Zhang Sheng then said:

"Right now Xueqin wants a private settlement; she doesn't want to be detained. You should know this."

"I know." Wang Erhai nodded.

Zhang Sheng spoke again:

"But now Liu Meiqi has absolutely no intention of settling, and even says she wants to remarry you. What to do about this?"

Wang Erhai spread his hands:

"What else can be done? Anyway, remarriage is impossible. Even if I die, I won't remarry her!"

Zhang Sheng looked into his eyes and asked:

"You mean, let Yao Xueqin accept detention punishment?"

Wang Erhai took a deep drag of smoke and sighed:

"Things having come to this, I'm afraid that's the only way. I can only wrong Xueqin a bit. She's so considerate and understanding; I believe she'll definitely be able to understand me."

Zhang Sheng sized Wang Erhai up and down a few times; his gaze toward Wang Erhai was somewhat complex.

Wanting to say something.

But in the end he still held back and didn't say it.

Because once some words are spoken, they might cross the line.

At this moment Wang Erhai spoke again:

"General Manager Zhang, please go talk to Xueqin for me. Just say she might be wronged a bit, but detention isn't a big deal — she'll be out in a few days, just a blink of an eye."

Zhang Sheng gave a dry laugh:

"Alright then, I'll go talk to her for you."

Zhang Sheng went to find Yao Xueqin again and explained the situation to her.

"Liu Meiqi has already gone mad; she can't be persuaded at all. Only if Wang Erhai agrees to remarry her will she be willing to settle privately with you. Wang Erhai's side says you might be wronged a bit."

Upon hearing this, a flash of disappointment crossed Yao Xueqin's eyes:

"General Manager Zhang, you were just urging me to live a good life with Wang Erhai. Wang Erhai's choice makes it very obvious that he loves himself more than he loves me."

Zhang Sheng then said:

"You can't put it that way either. Wang Erhai is also out of options."

But Yao Xueqin said resentfully:

"Couldn't he just pretend to agree to remarry Liu Meiqi?"
