Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Erhai was chatting idly with Zhang Yueran, one sentence after another.

At this moment, Liang Xinghua walked over.

"Erhai!"

Liang Xinghua revealed a simple, honest smile and greeted Wang Erhai.

"Xiong Hua Shu, what's the matter?"

Liang Xinghua hurriedly handed over a cigarette, and only then said:

"Erhai, your house renovation is about to be completed now; when is your renovation company going to open?"

Hearing this, Wang Erhai couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Only now did he recall that when he first returned to Shanggou Village, he followed Liang Xinghua and the others to do masonry work, and he hadn't told them his company had gone bankrupt; instead, he told them he was preparing to open a renovation company and came here first to learn some experience.

The result was that the speaker meant nothing by it, but the listener took it to heart; Liang Xinghua actually believed it to be true.

And he earnestly looked forward to Wang Erhai's renovation company opening as soon as possible.

That way, he could go work in the County Town, and incidentally bring his wife and children to live in the County Town; when the children grew a little older, they could also study in the County Town.

This place, Shanggou Village, his wife didn't like it, and the children's schooling was also a big problem.

"Soon, soon, it shouldn't be long before we can open."

Wang Erhai hurriedly replied to Liang Xinghua.

He felt some guilt in his heart.

Because before this, he had never intended to go to the County Town to open a renovation company.

Coincidentally, today Huo Guoqiang took the initiative to invite him to become a partner in a renovation company.

Perhaps everything is predestined in the dark.

Wang Erhai gained one more reason to cooperate with Huo Guoqiang.

"Erhai, when your renovation company opens, you must invite me to be your employee; I've already declined the new construction site over at Zhou Hongwei's side, just waiting for the good news from your side."

Liang Xinghua said with a smile, looking utterly sincere.

Even a bit humble.

Because he really needed Wang Erhai to give him a leg up.

Otherwise, relying solely on his own ability, it would be hard to gain a foothold in the County Town.

Wang Erhai said busily:

"Okay, okay, once we open, I'll recruit you into the company first!"

Liang Xinghua asked with a smile:

"By the way, does your company pay social security?"

Not waiting for Wang Erhai to answer, he added:

"If not, never mind; as long as I can earn more than in the rural area, that's fine. That social security thing, it's not much use to us rural people anyway!"

Wang Erhai said busily:

"Xiong Hua Shu, rest assured, I'm opening a legitimate company; there will definitely be social security!"

Hearing this, Liang Xinghua was happy like a big child:

"Erhai, with your word, I'm reassured; from now on I'll follow you and work for you, working for you for a lifetime is fine! You guys carry on, I still have a bit of business, won't disturb you further! Goodbye!"

Liang Xinghua turned and left, his back carrying cheerful footsteps.

He had just gone to Wang Erhai's home, discovered Wang Erhai wasn't at home, so he specially ran over here to find Wang Erhai, just to ask this matter clearly, so he could go back and give his daughter-in-law a definite answer.

Now Wang Erhai had given him such a definite answer, he was reassured.

"Right, looks like I can't not open a renovation company with Huo Guoqiang!"

Wang Erhai smiled.

Zhang Yueran then said:

"Then go do it, no need to worry too much."

That afternoon, Wang Erhai saw Zhang Yueran back to the County Town.

On the County Town side, the two ate a meal together.

Then he sent Zhang Yueran back to the Erzhong teacher dormitory.

After seeing Zhang Yueran off, Wang Erhai made a phone call to Huo Guoqiang:

"General Manager Huo, shall we find a time to sit down and discuss the renovation company's development plan in detail?"

Hearing this, Huo Guoqiang was immediately overjoyed:

"General Manager Wang, you mean you've considered it clearly? Decided to partner with me to open a renovation company?"

"Yes." Wang Erhai gave an affirmative answer, and also said: "Thank you for General Manager Huo thinking so highly of me; I will certainly do my best to repay General Manager Huo's kindness."

Huo Guoqiang asked:

"Where are you now?"

"I'm in the County Town."

"What a coincidence, I'm also in the County Town; I was just preparing to return to the City. Since you're in the County Town now, why don't we find a place to sit and have a good chat?"

"Deal! You pick the place; I'll drive over right away!"

"Then let's meet at Huangsheng Hotel. How about that?"

"Sure!"

Wang Erhai hung up the phone and immediately drove to Huangsheng Hotel.

Huo Guoqiang choosing to meet at Huangsheng Hotel did not surprise Wang Erhai in the slightest.

After all, Huangsheng Hotel is the highest-grade hotel in the County Town; arranging to meet at this hotel showed how much Huo Guoqiang valued Wang Erhai, and how much he valued the establishment of this Renovation Company this time.

However, what Wang Erhai didn't expect was that when he arrived at Huangsheng Hotel and had just parked the car, he saw an old acquaintance he hadn't anticipated seeing...

Yao Xueqin!

As Wang Erhai got out of the car, Yao Xueqin was just getting out of a car beside him.

The two ran directly into each other!

"What are you doing here?"

When Yao Xueqin asked this, her face carried not only surprise and vigilance, but also undisguised dislike.

Now that Wang Erhai was already bankrupt, she no longer needed to pretend to be innocent in front of Wang Erhai.

"What a coincidence. I'm here to handle some business."

Seeing Yao Xueqin's reaction, Wang Erhai felt somewhat at a loss whether to cry or laugh.

Yao Xueqin said coldly and arrogantly:

"Don't come looking for me again. I've told you before, that five hundred thousand breakup fee you gave me, I spent it all long ago. It's impossible for me to return it to you. After all, I also invested real feelings in you!"

Yao Xueqin thought Wang Erhai had come to block her and demand the return of that five hundred thousand from before, so she was this vigilant, opening her mouth to block off the conversation right away.

Wang Erhai felt even more at a loss whether to cry or laugh at this:

"That's all in the past now. I don't care anymore."

"You'd not care?" Yao Xueqin looked Wang Erhai up and down, her eyes full of disbelief: "You don't hate me?"

Wang Erhai countered:

"Why would I hate you?"

Yao Xueqin felt that Wang Erhai's Shanhai Real Estate going bankrupt had an inseparable connection to her; Wang Erhai ought to hate her.

Not just hate, but should hate to the point of gritting teeth in hatred.

After all, when Wang Erhai most needed emergency funds, Yao Xueqin clung dead to that five hundred thousand, simply refusing to return it to Wang Erhai.

But Wang Erhai felt that things were already past; hate was useless. These past days he had reviewed again and again the entanglements between him and these two women, Yao Xueqin and Liu Meiqi. Reviewing back and forth, in the end he reached a conclusion:

The reason he became entangled with these two women was not these two women's fault, but his own — he was too much of a dumbass. In relationships, when making important decisions, he was too rash.

He ended up with this result merely because he was paying the bill for all those dumbass choices he made before.

And now, he had grown. He wouldn't repeat the same mistakes again. So he didn't hate Yao Xueqin; on the contrary, he was even grateful to Yao Xueqin for giving him a heavy lesson, making him completely give up illusions about so-called beautiful women, and return to the proper track of being a down-to-earth person.

Yao Xueqin didn't believe Wang Erhai didn't hate her, so she sneered:

"Stop pretending. How could you possibly not hate me? But let me warn you, we've already broken up. If you dare to touch me, I'll call the police immediately!"
