Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Huo Guoqiang's vision can be described as full of ambition — building materials, renovation, real estate, connecting all three aspects; wouldn't that mean forming a complete ecological chain?

If this ecological chain is successfully built, he would absolutely make a huge profit.

This is also why he took the initiative to extend an olive branch to Wang Erhai.

Currently he only has achievements in building materials; real estate and renovation are both just at the initial starting stage, and this is precisely the time when he needs to broadly recruit talent.

So he not only has to build a good relationship with Niu Chunsheng this real estate merchant, but also with Wang Erhai who has countless client resources.

To put it exactly, every single person who can lend a hand to his career, he must build a good relationship with them, and will not reject anyone out of prejudice because of their height and appearance, identity and background, or whether they have ever gone bankrupt before.

This is his principle for employing people.

"Erhai, it's rare for General Manager Huo to be so enthusiastic; I think this renovation company can be done!"

Niu Chunsheng looked at Wang Erhai, encouraging him to cooperate with Huo Guoqiang.

To tell the truth, Huo Guoqiang taking the initiative to propose partnering with Wang Erhai to start a renovation company is an unexpected surprise; before coming here, Huo Guoqiang had never mentioned this matter to Niu Chunsheng.

In other words, Huo Guoqiang making this decision was largely a spur-of-the-moment impulse.

If Wang Erhai doesn't agree, then missing this village means there's no such shop anymore.

This is a fleeting opportunity.

It is also an opportunity that could bring Wang Erhai back from the bottom and turn the tables against the wind.

However, Wang Erhai fell into contemplation:

"General Manager Huo, how about this, let me consider it for a bit?"

As soon as Wang Erhai said this, Huo Guoqiang's enthusiasm immediately cooled by more than half.

Niu Chunsheng was immediately stunned, not expecting Wang Erhai to actually have this attitude.

So he hurriedly persuaded:

"Erhai, there's no need to consider this matter; just agree to General Manager Huo. You and General Manager Huo partnering to open a renovation company — the initial capital and such, General Manager Huo will handle it, won't let you spend too much money; you just need to manage the client channels well. General Manager Huo, am I right?"

Niu Chunsheng was truly driven frantic by Wang Erhai.

Given an opportunity, he actually doesn't seize it; hesitation will miss a golden chance!

"Right, the funding side, I'll handle it; you don't need to worry!"

Huo Guoqiang said so.

Wang Erhai showed a helpless smile and hurriedly explained the situation:

"General Manager Huo, this isn't a funding problem."

"Then what problem is it?" Niu Chunsheng hurriedly asked.

Wang Erhai told the truth:

"It's a time problem. Right now I have to manage this New Era Restaurant, and also manage the newly opened farm in the village, and also handle all kinds of messy affairs in the village committee; these things are already enough to keep me busy. If another renovation company is added, I'm afraid even if I had three heads and six arms, I wouldn't be able to keep up."

Wang Erhai actually also really wants to cooperate with Huo Guoqiang; how could he not know this is a great opportunity for him? How could he not be clear that this opportunity is fleeting? It's just that if he joined Huo Guoqiang's renovation company, he would have to be responsible for this company; he can't just fish for three days and dry nets for two, taking a salary without doing work.

If it were really like that, not only would it betray Huo Guoqiang's trust in him, but it would also overdraft his own credibility.

Such an irresponsible thing, he Wang Erhai cannot do.

With Wang Erhai saying this, Niu Chunsheng couldn't help but sigh:

"Alas, that's true too."

At this time Wang Erhai looked at Zhang Yueran who had been silent all along, asking for her opinion:

"Miss Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhang Yueran had been listening quietly; she is a teacher, doesn't understand business matters, so she hadn't interjected.

Now Wang Erhai took the initiative to ask her opinion, so she had no choice but to speak:

"You're asking me? I think you should make the decision yourself; I don't really understand business things. Actually, whether we make big money or not doesn't matter. There's a saying, how does it go? Being modestly well-off brings peace of mind; the main thing is being able to live happily and live fully."

Zhang Yueran said so.

Then she hurriedly added another sentence:

"If you really want to partner with General Manager Huo to open a renovation company, but your own energy is limited, then give up part of your original business. Mencius said, 'Fish and bear's paw cannot both be had'; only by letting go can you gain."

As soon as Zhang Yueran finished speaking, Huo Guoqiang immediately clapped his hands, praising:

"Good, well said. Miss Zhang truly lives up to being a teacher; a cultured person is just different — the words spoken cite classics and have reason and evidence!"

He praised Zhang Yueran so exaggeratedly that Zhang Yueran felt a bit embarrassed.

She had merely casually expressed her own opinion; she didn't deliberately cite classics.

At this time Huo Guoqiang spoke to Wang Erhai again:

"President Wang, I know you're a man with ambition; are you really willing to spend your whole life staying in the rural area? Think of your past glory, think of those failures and unwillingness — don't you want to kill your way back into the city?"

Hearing this, Wang Erhai's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.

How could he possibly be willing to accept defeat?

How could he not want to kill his way back into the city?

It's just that one major setback made him feel he needed to return to the rural area to settle for a period of time.

"General Manager Huo, just let me consider it; before eight o'clock tomorrow morning, I'll give you a definite reply, okay?"

Wang Erhai said this to Huo Guoqiang.

Hearing this, Huo Guoqiang didn't persuade further, but said:

"Alright then, let's exchange contact information!"

Wang Erhai nodded hurriedly:

"Sure, no problem!"

So the two exchanged phone numbers, and then added each other as WeChat friends.

Huo Guoqiang's WeChat nickname was a typical building materials businessman's nickname.

AAAA Guo Qiang Building Materials Old Huo.

It seems bosses in this line of business all like to set their nicknames this way.

After adding each other on WeChat, the dishes were about done being ordered; Wang Erhai took the menu to the back kitchen to have the cook prepare the dishes, and instructed the cook that this time the dishes must be made delicious, with generous portions, because the people eating out front were precious guests.

After the dishes were ready, Wang Erhai even acted as a waiter, personally carrying the dishes to the table.

It could be said the hosting was extremely thorough.

Both Huo Guoqiang and Zhang Yueran were moved by Wang Erhai's enthusiasm, and this meal was eaten in a very pleasant mood.

After finishing the meal, Huo Guoqiang took the initiative to pay the bill; Niu Chunsheng hurriedly held him back, saying the one who should pay was him, Niu Chunsheng, after all today this meal was brought by Niu Chunsheng.

The two disputed without resolution, both insisting on paying.

Wang Erhai hurried over to mediate:

"Two bosses, this meal is my treat, no need for you to pay!"

"How can that work?" Huo Guoqiang hurriedly said: "Can't let your restaurant, Boss Wang, do a losing business!"

Wang Erhai laughed:

"Today being able to meet a friend like you, Boss Huo, my business doesn't lose; even if I pay out of pocket, it's a huge profit!"

Hearing this, Huo Guoqiang laughed heartily:

"Since Boss Wang puts it that way, I won't argue anymore; before eight o'clock tomorrow morning, you must give me a definite answer; even if we can't become partners, we can still be friends!"

"Sure, no problem!"
