Protagonist:
Li Xiulan
Afterwards, the three of them came up with a company name together, calling it "Liguo Mountain Decoration Co., Ltd."
Huo Guoqiang's Guo Qiang Building Materials, Wu Moli's Victory Real Estate, and Wang Erhai's previously operated Shanhai Real Estate — the three companies each contributed one character, forming the new company's name.
Without Yao Xueqin's interference, the matter of the three partnering to start a company was quickly finalized.
After finalizing, Huo Guoqiang produced the contract he had prepared in advance.
He said:
"I've already prepared the contract on my end. If the two of you feel there's no problem, we can sign immediately tonight. If you feel there are still issues needing further discussion, that's not urgent either — signing in a few days works too."
Before Wu Moli could speak, Huo Guoqiang added:
"I suggest we still wait a few days before signing, just afraid President Wu you haven't considered some things thoroughly yet. This could be big or small, still need to consider carefully."
Wang Erhai, hearing Huo Guoqiang say such words, instantly understood he was playing hard to get.
Many women are born with a rebellious streak — the more you push them to do something, the less they want to do it.
The more you don't want them to do something, the more they insist on doing it.
Wang Erhai and Huo Guoqiang were in cahoots, so naturally they wouldn't expose Huo Guoqiang's trick, and thus chimed in agreement:
"I also feel we need a few days to consider. There are still many details inside that need finalizing."
Sure enough, Wu Moli hurriedly said:
"How about we sign right now? Details are minor, we can slowly discuss them together later. The sooner this contract is signed, the sooner our company opens!"
Wu Moli thought to herself: right now she had all the advantage, just afraid of unforeseen complications if things dragged on, so better to hurry and finalize the contract.
Huo Guoqiang then asked:
"President Wu, how about you go back and ask President Zhang's opinion, then come sign this contract?"
Huo Guoqiang's words were very skillfully put, instantly provoking Wu Moli's pride.
Everyone knows Wu Moli is Zhang Sheng's kept mistress, yet Wu Moli most hates others saying she started out by relying on a big shot.
So Wu Moli hurriedly said:
"No need, no need. My Victory Real Estate — my word is final. Why would I need to ask Zhang Sheng?"
Huo Guoqiang immediately put on a reluctant expression:
"Since President Wu puts it that way, then let's sign the contract."
Then he looked at Wang Erhai:
"President Wang, President Wu, a woman, is this straightforward. As a man, don't you go being wishy-washy."
Wang Erhai chuckled:
"Fine, fine, then I'll sign too!"
In the end, all three signed the contract together — three copies, one each.
After the contract was signed, Huo Guoqiang beamed and said:
"Next, company registration I'll handle. Recruiting employees — President Wang, you're responsible for scouting."
"What about me?" Wu Moli asked. "What do I need to do?"
Huo Guoqiang said:
"President Wu, you're a busy big shot. We're too embarrassed to take up too much of your time. So just wait until the company's set up, then you come handle administration, corporate culture — that'll do."
Hearing this, Wu Moli felt secretly delighted.
Wasn't this equivalent to her doing nothing in the early stage yet enjoying equal benefits?
It even made her a bit embarrassed:
"How can I let that happen? I should help at least a little."
Huo Guoqiang said:
"Since that's the case, how about President Wu you help scout the company venue."
Wu Moli said:
"Sure, sure! If I go rent the venue, we should get quite a few discounts. When I set up Victory Real Estate before, that landlord I met was pretty nice, gave me quite a few discounts!"
To this day, Wu Moli still doesn't know — the landlord gave her discounts entirely because Zhang Sheng was pulling strings behind her back.
Huo Guoqiang said:
"Then the venue rental is entrusted to you, President Wu. It's not early anymore. If there's no other issues, let's call it a day."
"Deal!"
Wu Moli came out of the VIP private room. Yao Xueqin, who had been waiting outside for a long time, immediately went up to ask:
"President Wu, how did it go?"
Wu Moli immediately wore a proud smile:
"With me on the job, there's nothing that can't be settled!"
Yao Xueqin, however, expressed doubt:
"President Wu, are you sure you really weren't swindled by them?"
Wu Moli glared at Yao Xueqin:
"You look down on me that much? Let me put it this way — tonight I signed a cooperation agreement with Huo Guoqiang and Wang Erhai. The agreement stipulates I hold thirty percent equity, and I only need to handle administration and corporate culture, two small pieces. Everything else I don't have to worry about. Isn't that practically free money?"
Speaking to here, Wu Moli revealed a face full of smugness, and also said:
"Manager Yao, if it were you, I'm afraid you'd find it hard to win so many benefits!"
Hearing this, Yao Xueqin immediately sighed:
"General Manager Wu, you've simply been taken in by them. Although they gave you thirty percent equity, you only handle administration, a peripheral department, so you can't hold real power in the company. You have no decision-making authority, and by then you'll just be at their mercy!"
Wu Moli immediately looked displeased:
"What are you talking about? I have at least thirty percent decision-making power!"
The more she looked at Yao Xueqin, the more she found her an eyesore:
"I think you're just jealous that I'm more capable than you. Besides, Wang Erhai just said you and Zhang Sheng had a thing—could that really be true?"
Wu Moli's words hit the key point.
The reason she suddenly changed her attitude toward Yao Xueqin was entirely because of this matter.
The reason she had previously valued Yao Xueqin was because Zhang Sheng strongly recommended her.
The reason she suddenly disliked Yao Xueqin now was because she knew Yao Xueqin and Zhang Sheng had once been entangled.
Women are just this fickle.
In decision-making, emotion occupies the dominant position, and often outweighs reason.
Seeing Wu Moli question her so sharply, Yao Xueqin immediately panicked.
She knew her position at Victory Real Estate might be in trouble.
Being a woman herself, she knew all too well what women were like.
Once a woman suspects you, even without evidence, she'll sentence you to death outright.
But Yao Xueqin would surely struggle a bit, so she hurried to explain:
"What Wang Erhai said is complete nonsense—he's just deliberately taking revenge on me!"
Wu Moli asked again:
"Why would he take revenge on you?"
Yao Xueqin replied:
"Because I'm his ex-girlfriend. He couldn't have me, so he's slandering me."
Wu Moli asked again:
"Then why did Zhang Sheng strongly recommend you to my company before?"
This left Yao Xueqin speechless.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally answered:
"That's because I worked at Huangsheng Group before, and General Manager Zhang knew my capabilities inside out."
Wu Moli asked again:
"What job did you do at Huangsheng Group before?"
Now Yao Xueqin truly couldn't answer.
If she told the truth—that she used to work in real estate sales at Huangsheng Group—wouldn't that be exposing herself?
Because Wu Moli had worked in the real estate sales department at Huangsheng Group, and then was taken notice of by Zhang Sheng.
