Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

After Wang Erhai left, Yao Xueqin stood frozen in place for a good while.

Only then did she call Zhang Sheng.

The call went through, but Zhang Sheng simply didn't pick up.

But that was normal too; it was late at night now, Zhang Sheng was either keeping his own wife company or keeping some other woman company, and no matter where he was, he definitely couldn't answer her call.

Otherwise the girlfriend would question him, and he'd have to rack his brains to wriggle out of it again.

Seeing Zhang Sheng not answer her call, Yao Xueqin gritted her teeth in hatred.

Then she sent a text message:

"If you don't answer my call, I'm going to make a scene."

Before long, Zhang Sheng called back himself.

"My dear ancestress, it's the middle of the night, what do you want?"

Zhang Sheng let out a long sigh; he had originally thought that arranging Yao Xueqin to work at Victory Real Estate would stabilize the situation, yet he never expected that now Yao Xueqin wanted to stir up trouble again.

Truth be told, compared to Liu Mei Qi, Zhang Sheng was more afraid of Yao Xueqin stirring up trouble.

Because Yao Xueqin was obviously smarter than Liu Mei Qi.

When Liu Mei Qi stirred up trouble, at most she just made unreasonable trouble.

But if Yao Xueqin really stirred up trouble, it might cost someone their life.

"I was fired by Wu Moli."

Yao Xueqin said angrily:

"I helped Victory Real Estate close so many clients, yet she fired me on a whim — who gave her the nerve!"

It was very obvious; naturally it was Zhang Sheng who gave her the nerve.

Without Zhang Sheng backing her, Wu Moli was nothing.

So now Yao Xueqin had come to demand an explanation from Zhang Sheng.

"What exactly happened? Weren't you getting along fine with her before? She even told me you were her half-sister by different parents, and that she was grateful from the bottom of her heart for your contributions to the company."

Wu Moli had indeed said such things to Zhang Sheng before; at that time Wu Moli felt this woman Yao Xueqin was simply a gift from heaven, letting her handle everything in the company well without exerting any effort.

What a pity, women really are too changeable; when they turn hostile, it's faster than flipping a book.

"Tonight we went to do business with Huo Guoqiang, but Huo Guoqiang brought another partner along. Do you know who that person was?"

Yao Xueqin said angrily.

Zhang Sheng asked curiously:

"Who?"

"Wang Erhai!"

Yao Xueqin's answer gave Zhang Sheng a slight surprise as well.

But after that slight surprise, he quickly accepted this fact.

He even felt that everything that had happened was perfectly logical.

"Whoever Huo Guoqiang wants to partner with, he partners with; we can't interfere with his choice."

Zhang Sheng replied like this.

But Yao Xueqin said coldly:

"Didn't Wang Erhai's company go bankrupt? Didn't he slink back to his rural hometown in disgrace? How did he make a comeback so fast?"

Zhang Sheng thought for a moment, then said:

"That's very normal. Although his company went bankrupt, he has his older brother backing him; his older brother made it big in Guangzhou, so he naturally couldn't stay down for good."

Hearing this, Yao Xueqin got very angry:

"That's not what you told me before! You said you severed his client chain, and he absolutely had no chance to climb back up! It was precisely because of your words that when Wang Erhai came to demand that 500,000 back then, I didn't return it to him! Zhang Sheng, you misled me; you must take responsibility for this!"

Hearing this, Zhang Sheng was quite speechless:

"You misunderstood my meaning. I said his Shanhai Real Estate had no possibility of climbing back up; I never said he as a person had no possibility of climbing back up!"

Hearing Zhang Sheng quibble like this, Yao Xueqin got even angrier:

"Don't you quibble with me; anyway you have to take responsibility!"

Zhang Sheng naturally didn't want to take responsibility; he hadn't had anything to do with Yao Xueqin for a long time.

Take responsibility my ass.

So he muddled through, changing the subject:

"By the way, why did Moli fire you? You still haven't told me the reason."

Yao Xueqin said:

"The reason is Wang Erhai said right in front of her that I have a thing with you, and she believed it. In a fit of rage, she not only wouldn't let me participate in the negotiation with Huo Guoqiang, she fired me outright!"

The more Yao Xueqin spoke, the angrier she got:

"What kind of woman did you find? Completely impulsive, simply brainless. I still had several clients I was following; she actually just fired me like that — it angers me to death!"

Hearing this, Zhang Sheng's face was full of bitter smiles; his head ached terribly.

Women's matters are just troublesome!

"I know you're very angry, but don't be angry first; getting angry doesn't solve problems."

Zhang Sheng hurriedly placated Yao Xueqin, and also said:

"Rest assured, I will help you get justice, but you have to give me some time. How about this: you stay at home for this period, don't go anywhere, and once I've processed things, I'll naturally give you an answer."

Yao Xueqin asked:

"How long do you need to process things?"

"That's not sure. Maybe three to five days, maybe ten-odd days, maybe even longer."

Hearing this, Yao Xueqin immediately cursed loudly:

"Good for you, Zhang Sheng, trying to fool me, right? Isn't this just a 'delay' tactic? Do you really take me for an ignorant little girl in her early twenties? Do you think this old lady is that easy to deceive?"

Hearing this, Zhang Sheng immediately didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Have to admit, Yao Xueqin is indeed more difficult to deal with than the average woman.

This really gives him a headache.

But thinking it over, he switched to a different strategy.

He asked:

"Tell me clearly, do you still want to be with Wang Erhai or not?"

Yao Xueqin said:

"Had I known he could make a comeback this fast, I wouldn't have broken up with him over that mere 500,000!"

Zhang Sheng said:

"So you do want to! How about this: I'll mediate and arrange a reconciliation between you and Wang Erhai. You don't go fussing over Wu Moli firing you; she's just a little girl who doesn't understand anything, there's no need for you to hold a grudge against her."

Zhang Sheng truly lives up to being an old fox; this condition he threw out hit Yao Xueqin right in the heart.

Most importantly, it could both calm the conflict between Yao Xueqin and Wu Moli, and let Yao Xueqin get what she wants; most importantly, it could perfectly resolve Yao Xueqin's entanglement with him.

Yao Xueqin had absolutely no possibility of refusing.

Sure enough, hearing these words, Yao Xueqin instantly wasn't so angry anymore, her tone becoming much gentler:

"Are you sure you can really make me and Wang Erhai reconcile?"

The biggest problem now is, she feels she has almost no possibility of reconciling with Wang Erhai.

She understands men; what men care about most isn't actually a woman's looks, nor even whether a woman loves them, but that their woman didn't kick them when they were down at their lowest point.

When she refused to return that 500,000 at Wang Erhai's most difficult time, that was tantamount to sentencing her relationship with Wang Erhai to the death penalty.

But Zhang Sheng said:

"I can't guarantee one hundred percent, but as long as you follow my arrangements, there's still a chance to win Wang Erhai back."
