Chapter 26: Twenty Thousand Yuan Reward

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Upper View Garden was a revolutionary project for Splendid Sun Real Estate. Even if it were bound to incur losses, she would definitely put in the effort to build it well.

Therefore, the partner she was looking for had to be very reliable.

Wang Zhongtian was the only person I could trust completely!

The best part was that before he entered the property industry, he had once managed a construction company. However, he went bankrupt and became a property agent.

Therefore, doing this was equivalent to returning to his old job and doing what he was best at.

I briefly explained the situation to him. “Personally, I think you’d be more assured working with Splendid Sun than anyone else if you set up your own company. How does that sound? Are you willing?”

Wang Zhongtian’s brows locked tightly, revealing a thoughtful expression.

I didn’t rush him and waited quietly.

After a long while, he finally nodded forcefully. “Fine, I’ll do it!”

I said cheerfully, “In that case, find a suitable company as soon as possible. You’ll be the person in charge. I’ll arrange for Xu Xiaomei to meet you. I believe that with your capability, she’ll never choose anyone else after meeting you once!”

Wang Zhongtian smiled wryly. “You’re putting a square peg into a round hole. But Zhang Teng, thank you very much.”

I smiled and patted his shoulder. “You’re my real friend. You don’t have to thank me for that.”

To be honest, many companies were fighting over this project and wanted to work with Splendid Sun.

With his capability, it was impossible for him to obtain it without taking a shortcut.

Just this project alone would sustain his income for years!

Of course, he understood that I would give this project to him because he was my true friend and a brother to me.

When I was in trouble, he helped me a lot.

How could I forget him when I had bountiful prospects?

We had gone through thick and thin together, and we should share our fortune together too. That was how true friendship should be!

The next morning, I arranged for Xu Xiaomei and Wang Zhongtian’s meeting.

The latter was already well-prepared. After chatting with her for two hours, he still looked as if he wasn’t quite done.

I arranged for a meal and went to the dining room. After a detailed discussion, Xu Xiaomei pulled me aside and said, “I have to say, this Wang Zhongtian is really brilliant. Arrange for him to meet with the project team this afternoon. I want to sign the contract with him by today!”

Xu Xiaomei was a woman of her word. She signed the contract on the same day and especially found a luxurious Chinese restaurant that night to hold a small feast to celebrate their cooperation.

The project manager and the rest were also present. After all, Wang Zhongtian would be the one interacting with them in the future.

During the meal, I went to the washroom. The project manager followed me and thanked me in the washroom, “Brother Teng, thank you so much!”

I was surprised. “Why are you thanking me?”

To be honest, I was worried that he would blame me for crossing the line and recommending Wang Zhongtian.

The project manager sighed. “If you didn’t find such a suitable person, the assistant general manager would have killed me! You have no idea how grateful the entire project team is to you!”

I understood him and replied modestly.

After that, I drove Xu Xiaomei home.

When she arrived, she threw an envelope over to me. “This is your reward. It’s from me personally.”

I picked it up in surprise. There was a thick stack of notes inside!

“It’s not a lot of money, so don’t keep it if you find that it’s too little,” Xu Xiaomei said earnestly. “I just want you to know that I’m very grateful to you. If it weren’t for your help, I wouldn’t be at Splendid Sun Real Estate anymore.”

I hesitated for a while before ultimately keeping it.

On the way home, I slit the envelope open and counted the amount. Twenty thousand yuan.

To her, it was probably a small red packet.

But to me, it can indeed solve some urgent problems. At least I don’t have to worry about food.

At least I could pay for Qiqi’s piano lessons.

After returning home, the family had already gone to bed.

But my wife wasn’t home.

I looked around the empty bedroom and felt my blood surging.

But soon, I suppressed my anger.

Nonchalantly, I went to the living room balcony and smoked a cigarette.

My emotions gradually calmed down.

My wife didn’t even call to give me an excuse that she was working overtime.

It seemed like she had completely lost her patience with me.

If the bald jerk had not dragged out his divorce, my wife might have moved to his villa long ago.

I laughed at myself.

I didn’t exactly fail to improve.

At least now that I knew that she was with that old fellow, I could control my temper and not be so impulsive anymore. Hah!

Was that a good thing or a bad thing? I really had no idea.

Most of the time, life was so chaotic. All I could do was to accept the tumultuous tide of life.

When I was halfway through my cigarette, I suddenly heard a low voice talking from the window of my parents-in-law’s room.

The living room’s balcony was closer to the two guest rooms, especially the one where my parents-in-law were in. If the curtains were drawn, one could even see the scene inside from the balcony.

At this moment, it was obvious that the two of them had not fallen asleep and were talking in the room.

In the dead of the night, coupled with the fact that the two of them didn’t deliberately lower their voices, I could almost hear their conversation from the balcony.

“I’m furious just thinking about it. Why should we? Just because we’re getting a divorce, half of everything will belong to that useless bum?”

“That’s right. The new house doesn’t come from that fellow’s money. He didn’t even fork out a single cent, yet we still have to split half with him!”

“Not only the house but also half of Qingqing’s money!”

“Sigh, I really feel bad for Qingqing. She married a useless piece of trash and it’s so troublesome to get a divorce! Is there any way so that she doesn’t need to split the money with him?”

“A way? The law is so strict nowadays, what choice do we have? But if he dies, Qingqing won’t have to split the money with him..”
