Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Liu Mei Qi was no longer as aggressively demanding that Wang Erhai remarry her as she had been before.

Instead, she hesitated.

"If you're really about to go bankrupt, then how would we live if I remarried you? I still have a five or six thousand mortgage payment on my end!"

Liu Mei Qi was considering a very practical problem.

If Wang Erhai owed a million in debts, and she had a five or six thousand mortgage payment on her end, then there was absolutely no way to live this life.

Seeing her like this, Wang Erhai not only didn't get angry, but actually laughed:

"So, after all this fuss you made, in the end it was still for the sake of profit, wasn't it? Now that there's no profit to be gained, you're backing down, aren't you?"

Liu Mei Qi couldn't answer.

Wang Erhai waved his hand:

"You go. I won't help you pay your mortgage, just as you won't help me share my debts. As for remarrying, don't ever bring it up again."

Liu Mei Qi stood there awkwardly; she didn't make a scene anymore.

She couldn't even speak.

After hesitating for a good while, she finally decided to leave.

"Then you take care of yourself."

After saying this, she turned and left.

At this moment, Wang Erhai suddenly called out to her:

"Wait!"

Liu Mei Qi was stunned, turned her head back, her face showing vigilance:

"What is it? Wang Erhai, I'm warning you, don't drag me down! My life is already hard enough! The mortgage alone is suffocating me! Remarrying you and having me help you pay off your debts is impossible, don't even think about it!"

Wang Erhai smiled:

"You misunderstood. I just wanted to say thank you."

Liu Mei Qi was stunned again:

"Thank me for what?"

Wang Erhai said:

"You were right, Yao Xueqin just isn't a good person."

Liu Mei Qi's feelings were complex:

"Good that you know. Anything else?"

"Nothing else."

"Then I'm leaving."

Liu Mei Qi turned and left as if fleeing.

Just a moment ago she was still declaring that if Wang Erhai didn't remarry her, she would keep making a scene forever.

But now, without Wang Erhai even opening his mouth, she had warned him not to drag her down, and firmly declared that remarriage was out of the question.

Sure enough, women are fickle.

They turn hostile faster than flipping a book.

However, Wang Erhai was already indifferent to Liu Mei Qi's reaction.

He had been hurt through and through, and had seen through women's selfishness.

He had already realized a truth in his setbacks:

That is, everything in this world can be measured by profit, by money, including so-called love!

After understanding this truth, from then on, whenever he considered anything, he would prioritize considering it from the perspective of profit.

His knot of resentment also untied.

Many things also became indifferent.

After Liu Mei Qi left, he made a phone call to his Third Brother, explained the situation to him, and asked for his Third Brother's advice on breaking the deadlock.

He was unwilling to make this call before because he hadn't considered it from the perspective of profit; for the sake of dignity and face, he was unwilling to take this step.

He is willing to make this call now because he feels that face and dignity are no longer important; not only are face and dignity unimportant, everything else is no longer important either.

He prioritizes profit, so he must stop the loss in time.

He not only has to call his Third Brother; after calling his Third Brother, he still has to call his Big Brother.

Only by plugging this hole right now can he stop the loss in time.

"Third Brother, the situation is like this. Who do you think I most likely offended?"

Wang Erhai described the recent situation he encountered to Wang Xiaohua in detail, then asked this question.

To this day, he still doesn't know who he offended; this is what leaves him most speechless.

Wang Xiaohua thought for a moment, then said:

"Second Brother, to tell the truth, judging from the information you've given now, I can't determine who you offended either. This matter came too suddenly, and there are no signs on the surface. So instead of obsessing over who you offended right now, it's better to stop the loss quickly. You hurry up and tell Big Brother, have him help you plug the hole; we'll talk about the rest later."

Wang Erhai nodded:

"I'll call Big Brother in a bit. I'll apologize to him; it was a problem with my decision-making, which is why I have no choice but to let him come help me wipe my ass."

Wang Xiaohua said:

"You don't need to apologize to Big Brother. Between blood brothers, don't be so polite. If there's anything, communicate more with each other. Mutual support is normal. If brothers don't support each other, are we supposed to count on outsiders to help us?"

Wang Erhai smiled knowingly:

"Third Brother, you're right. I was a damn fool before. I was afraid of troubling you, afraid Big Brother would blame me, so I didn't tell you about this right away."

Wang Xiaohua said, "It's not too late to say it now. We can still fix the pen after the sheep are lost."

"Mm." Wang Erhai nodded.

Wang Xiaohua said at this time:

"Right, although I can't tell who you offended right now, just by watching how things develop afterward, we should be able to figure out a thing or two."

"Tell me, how to judge?"

Wang Xiaohua said:

"Bottom line, so-called business, commercial competition, even power struggles — it's all just a struggle for benefit. So in this matter, whoever the benefit flows to is the mastermind behind the scenes. Even if they're not the mastermind, they definitely have an extremely close relationship with the mastermind."

Wang Xiaohua paused, then continued:

"Those developers who terminated contracts with you — after they took back the sales agency rights for their projects, they'll definitely hand them out again. You just watch who they give the sales agency rights to, especially the sales agency rights for Huangsheng New City. That's the biggest piece of cake in the County Town's real estate sales business."

Hearing this, Wang Erhai suddenly realized.

He slapped his own forehead hard:

"Third Brother, how did I not think of this! My brain is really stupid dead!"

Immediately he hurriedly said:

"I'll go check later — who got the sales agency rights for the projects that terminated contracts with me! This is public information, very easy to find out!"

Wang Erhai hung up Wang Xiaohua's call and immediately called his Big Brother.

He explained the County Branch Company's situation to his Big Brother.

Then said:

"Big Brother, scold me. Even come back and beat me, I have no complaints. I really was too stupid, that's how such a huge hole got made."

Wang Dashan didn't scold him, just said:

"Send me the detailed financial situation on your end. Let me see exactly how much money is needed. I'll transfer it to you as soon as possible."

Wang Dashan knew, with something like this happening, his Second Brother's heart must be suffering terribly.

No need to scold him. After all, everyone makes mistakes.

Wang Dashan himself had made mistakes before too.

As long as he knows his error and can correct it, that's good.

What he was even more worried about was Wang Erhai's emotional situation:

"Second Brother, Xiaohua and I said you've got some emotional issues. You need to take it easy. Family harmony brings prosperity in all things. This is very important. We earn money, isn't it also for the sake of the family?"

Wang Erhai harbored guilt:

"Big Brother, you're right. Family harmony brings prosperity in all things. Before I didn't think this saying had any principle. Now after experiencing so much, I feel this saying is too damn right. But don't worry, it's all already in the past, it's all over. I won't internally consume myself too much for so-called love anymore."

Wang Dashan said:

"Then fine. I won't say more. Say too much and I'm afraid you'll be annoyed. Once the finances are verified, I'll just transfer the money to your company account."

Wang Erhai was moved beyond measure.

Before, he was still worried his Big Brother would scold him.

Never expected his Big Brother would transfer money to him so readily.
