Chapter 1826: Chapter 754: The Master of Emotions (Part 2)

"Is it that girl called... Xu Wanting?"

Zhou Wang recalled the name.

That night at the bar, he only saw her from a distance, but Zhou Wang retained some impression. She seemed to be a ponytailed girl with freckles, definitely not as pretty as Ji Xiaoxi or Hua Suisui, yet she could be considered charming, the kind of "goddess" in most guys’ eyes.

Zhou Wang remembered that later, Yang Hao had bragged to him that this Xu Wanting often sent him messages. Zhou Wang thought it was just some flirty diversion in Yang Hao’s boring life. Yet, he hadn’t expected... it seemed Yang Hao was serious.

"What’s the situation?"

Zhou Wang raised an eyebrow, tossing a cigarette to Yang Hao.

"Uh, actually, I can’t really explain it... It’s just fun chatting with her, and she admires me a lot. Her words are sweet, making me want to keep the conversation going."

"Emotional value?"

Zhou Wang lit the cigarette and quickly uttered the phrase.

"Yes, yes, emotional value, Brother Dog, you hit the nail on the head..."

"Ha ha."

Zhou Wang looked at Yang Hao with some pity.

Yang Hao feeling this usually means the other person’s emotional intelligence completely overshadows his; he’s the one being downwards compatible.

"Brother Dog, you’ve seen Xiao Ma. Xiao Ma’s personality is quite strong, often making me feel breathless; otherwise, we wouldn’t have broken up and gotten back together so many times. But Wanting is entirely different. I feel like she understands everything about me, always feeling relaxed when with her..."

"Together?"

Zhou Wang squinted his eyes, "You’ve already gone on dates?"

"Uh, not quite, we’ve just had meals together a few times and watched some movies."

"You little rascal..."

Zhou Wang didn’t know what to say momentarily, as he had been running around outside recently and hadn’t really paid attention to Yang Hao’s other matters. Now hearing this, it was clear he’d totally hit things off!

"She doesn’t know you have a girlfriend, oh wait, fiancée?"

"She knows. I felt uneasy morally, so once when we met, I told her the truth. She felt a bit sad, but... but she didn’t seem to mind much and was willing to continue interacting with me."

Yang Hao finally asked confusedly, "Brother Dog, what should I do now? I don’t want to wrong Xiao Ma, but I feel Wanting is quite good too. Sometimes I regret getting engaged so early..."

"You want my advice?"

"Of course."

"Since you’re asking me, my advice is to break it off with Xu Wanting quickly, then go and apologize to Xiao Ma. How things were before is how they should be now. Is that clear enough?"

"..."

Yang Hao was taken aback, unwillingly asking, "Just like that?"

"What else do you want?"

"No, Brother Dog... this isn’t the advice I wanted!"

"What do you mean?"

"You, you!"

Yang Hao urgently winked at Zhou Wang, "You’re recognized by everyone as a master of feelings, goddess bulldozer, and... uh, male god. Isn’t there any win-win solution?"

"Get lost!"

Zhou Wang’s mouth twitched, never expecting his image in his good brother’s heart to be so bad... uh, although he couldn’t blame others.

Scolding him in annoyance, Zhou Wang stood up and pushed Yang Hao out the door, "Even if I’m slightly indecent in my private life, it’s unavoidable — not everyone can imitate me, right?"

After pushing Yang Hao out, Zhou Wang thought and still offered a final piece of advice:

"Haozi, remember, many people can give you novelty, but loyalty is another matter. I think Xiao Ma is a good girl; weigh what’s light and heavy yourself!"

Bang!

Without waiting for Yang Hao to speak, Zhou Wang had already closed the door.

Listening to the silence outside the door, Zhou Wang shook his head silently.

He knew too well, Yang Hao seemed a bit carefree but didn’t actually have much real emotional experience. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been easily manipulated by Xu Wanting.

Zhou Wang could advise in matters like this but shouldn’t interfere directly, so he could only say what he had and leave the rest to Yang Hao’s own destiny.

...

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was March.

Coastal Pet Farewell Society.

In the spacious conference room with a "Monthly Commendation Ceremony" banner, Mr. Han, smartly dressed, stood confidently at the head of the room, raising his hand slightly to quell the ceaseless applause.

"Everyone, in the past February, our Coastal Farewell Society made an extremely remarkable comeback, from initial emptiness to now... uh..."

"Busy traffic."

As Mr. Han stalled, Xiao Hai jumped in.

"Are you illiterate, is busy traffic even fitting here? I think it should be a packed house."

On the other side, Da Qiang immediately retorted.

"You’re the illiterate one, can a packed house be used like this? I think bustling is better..."

"No, unending flow fits better!"

"Endless stream!"

"Then let me throw in shoulder to shoulder, how’d you handle that?"

"Fool, that’s eye to shoulder!"

"..."

Listening to his two underlings with only high school diplomas playing a game of Chinese idioms, Mr. Han couldn’t stop his mouth from twitching.

"Shut up!"

He had to turn and scold them, then continued, "Anyway, our Coastal Farewell Society has finally gotten on track, and the daily business volume is on the rise, we can say we’ve firmly established ourselves in the Qin Island market, thanks to everyone’s hard work!"

Swish!

Applause like waves rose again in the conference room.

At this moment, besides Mr. Han and store manager Chen Sicheng, over a dozen salespeople sat there, led by a sales champion who had been turned away by the Wanghai Farewell Society, forming an elite team.

After Mr. Han used some tactics causing the Wanghai Farewell Society to temporarily close, they fully utilized their business skills, snatching many resources from nearby neighborhoods.

Mr. Han understood some management tactics and wasn’t stingy at this moment. Even though it hadn’t begun profiting, he directly took out a pile of cash red envelopes and had Chen Sicheng distribute them.

Amid the grateful cheers from many salespeople, Mr. Han called Chen Sicheng over.

"Any recent movements from Zhou Wang’s side?"

Mr. Han asked.

"No movements whatsoever."

Chen Sicheng said with a smile, "Since Mr. Han showcased his strength, they’ve completely quieted down. They don’t dare water our money tree anymore... Yesterday when Xiao Wang and the others went to a neighborhood to distribute flyers, the Wanghai sales were there too. They turned tail immediately upon seeing Xiao Wang’s team, clearly losing the will to fight!"

"Is that so?"

Although during previous encounters Mr. Han felt Zhou Wang wasn’t so simple, the current situation was great, and Mr. Han didn’t see anything to worry about.

"Still, keep a close watch, also, continue the price war against them, I’d like to see how long he can hold on..."

...

"Brother Dog, if this continues, we really can’t hold out!"

Nearing closing time, the farewell society was already deserted, Yang Hao helped Zhou Wang carry a huge stack of express deliveries inside while complaining.

"Don’t fuss, let me open the gifts first."

Zhou Wang waved his hand, signaling Yang Hao to be quiet, then asked Sister Xiao Yu, who was also helping, to place all the express deliveries on the desk.

Numerous, various-sized packages added up to dozens.

And these... were all Valentine’s Day gifts Zhou Wang had received over this period.
