"Today is a good day
心想 的 事儿 能 成
Tomorrow is a good day

"We open our doors to welcome the spring breeze..."

When Mai Encui got home from get off work and opened the door, she heard singing coming from the kitchen.

Feeling puzzled, she put down her bag and saw that her husband, who had recently "stood up," had started a fire again.

"You're back. The last dish will be ready soon."

Although we have lost absolute dominance, we must admit that the atmosphere at home has become much more harmonious recently.

Mai Encui smiled, temporarily suppressing her doubts, washed her hands, and while her husband cooked, she took the initiative to help serve the rice.

This is what true harmony and mutual respect between husband and wife are all about.

As is customary each month, her son was sent to her parents' house, so the couple could enjoy some alone time together without being disturbed.

When the last dish of stir-fried deer antler mushrooms with hot pot meat was served, Zhang Zhongquan wiped his hands, took off his apron, and then took out two cans of beer from the refrigerator.

Mai Encui watched silently, her curiosity growing. She picked up her chopsticks and finally couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Why are you so happy?"

Because the rainy weather has finally improved?
It's definitely not that bad.

"Click!"

Zhang Zhongquan opened the can, took a hearty gulp, and his radiant appearance inexplicably excited Mai Encui.

The last time my incompetent husband was this excited was when he reached a settlement agreement with Greenland.

wrong.

Now that we've received the compensation, we can't call him that anymore; we have to respect that.

"What I say is never wrong!"

They really thrive on a little sunshine.

Mai Encui inwardly grumbled, but things were different now. Considering that she had recovered hundreds of thousands of dollars for the house purchase, she could only accept it with a forced smile.

The way couples get along boils down to two things: knowing when to advance and when to retreat.

There is a degree of relaxation.

Know when to act decisively.

When it's time to leverage emotional value, then you should leverage emotional value.

"what happened?"

She held the bowl and continued to ask questions.

Is it possible that, like last time, someone will pull out stacks of banknotes from somewhere again?

Ideals can be beautiful.

But reality is reality.

There is no free lunch.

and.

What they got back from Greenland was originally their own money.

Do you know where I went today?

Maientrae shook her head, intrigued. "Where did they go?"

A pleased smile curved Zhang Zhongquan's lips; he didn't pretend to be profound or keep anyone in suspense.

"The court!"

Mai Encui was startled, after all, those two words had a considerable deterrent effect on ordinary people, so she quickly asked, "What are you going to the court for?"

"What are you doing?"

Zhang Zhongquan sneered, picked up some cold fish mint salad with his chopsticks, and said, "Of course, I'm here to watch the show!"

What play are you going to see?

"The case concerning the rights protection of Greenland Phase II went to court today."

"Really? So fast?"

Zhang Zhongquan took a sip of beer and let out a comfortable breath. "Guess what happened?"

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Zhongquan finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing, "Just as I expected, a bunch of ignorant fools who think they can get their money back by going to court. That's just wishful thinking and delusional!"

"Greenland won?"

"if not!"

Zhang Zhongquan, looking smug and confident, said, "I told you long ago, what kind of company is Greenland Group? Suing them is like throwing good money after bad!"

The ugliness of human nature is laid bare at this moment.

While it's fortunate that I made it to shore, the thrill of watching others still struggling in the water is even more intoxicating.

"Even if so many homeowners unite, they can't beat them. Greenland Group really has absolute power in Shacheng."

Minetree murmured.

"Ants are still ants, no matter how many there are. The idea that they can kill an elephant is utter nonsense!"

"You were wise to settle with Greenland privately. Otherwise, we would probably end up like those people, losing both our houses and our money."

Maine continues to focus on emotional value, and this is also from the heart.

She had questioned whether her husband's behavior was selfish, but the cold reality told her that ordinary people don't need so many moral burdens.

The scorn and disdain of relatives and friends won't hurt you at all.

But burdened by an unfinished building that will never be completed, their whole family will live in an endless hell.

"Honey, you did the right thing!"

Zhang Zhongquan laughed heartily, finally releasing the pent-up frustration he had endured for so many years. "Now you know what your man, me, can do, right? Before, you were blaming me, saying I had let the Fang family down. And what happened? Did the Fang family not know their own limitations and just think they were right?"

Mai Encui nodded repeatedly, "It's all in the past, no need to mention it anymore. Let's just live our own lives well. We won't have any contact with them anymore."

"Humph."

Zhang Zhongquan sneered, "I'm afraid we'll still have to meet. Old Wen is getting married, and we might just run into him."

"What?"

"Who is Lao Wen's son-in-law? It's Tie Jun."

"What's wrong?"

“You don’t know Tie Jun, but this kid, my nephew, and the Fang family’s daughter grew up together. They used to work in the Third Construction Company compound. I just remembered them.”

Mai Encui was surprised, "What a coincidence?"

"Shacheng is such a small place, we'll run into each other all the time."

Zhang Zhongquan ate his vegetables.

Mai Encui didn't take it to heart. "You can't give too many gifts; three hundred is allowed."

Although the money was recovered, most of it was returned to the bank.

Their family's situation hasn't actually changed much, and they certainly don't have the right to spend lavishly.

"Three hundred? Xiaoqiang is over ten years old, and Lao Wen has already brought five hundred." Zhang Zhongquan was still quite considerate and didn't want to lose face.

"He brought three hundred? I'll go check the ledger later."

As she spoke, Mai Encui seemed to have thought of something, put down her chopsticks, and tentatively asked her husband, "The groom is your childhood friend, so will your nephew come back to attend the wedding?"

"I heard your nephew is doing even better than the Fang family's daughter..."

This sentence must be her main point; according to the relationship, she should be her aunt.

"What does it matter to you whether he's doing well or not? How many times have you even met him?"

Zhang Zhongquan was unaware that his cousin had met the other party many years ago.

Mai Encui sensed the criticism in his words and frowned in displeasure. She had been flattering him during this period, but that didn't mean he could act recklessly!

"Is it my fault? As the uncle, how could you have guessed that the kid would be so successful after losing both his parents?"

Zhang Zhongquan wanted to argue, but he had nothing to say.

Can you really pin the blame on your wife?

Definitely not.

Although his wife is selfish, greedy, and afraid of being dragged down by unlucky relatives, he has no sense of responsibility at all.
To be frank, he shared the same thought: no matter who the relatives or friends were, nothing was more important than his own family living comfortably. "Alright, why bring this up now? Nobody owes us anything, and we don't owe anyone anything, that's enough."

"You're the one being sarcastic, acting like I'm the one in the wrong. We're just cousins, what obligations do we have?"

Mai Encui picked at the rice in her bowl, looking quite aggrieved.

That's not what I meant at all.

Zhang Zhongquan took a sip of beer. "What I mean is, don't believe everything you hear. Everyone says the Fang family's daughter is incredibly capable, but what's the result?"

Maientree nodded thoughtfully. "Hmm, it's possible they're all just bragging!"

"Bragging doesn't cost anything. That kid's parents are gone, and he has no one to help him. It's already quite difficult for him to survive outside. To expect him to make something of himself is unrealistic."

The more Zhang Zhongquan talked, the more he realized it made sense, as if he had suddenly become fully aware of the situation.

"And I also think he won't come back."

"What?"

"If he wanted to come back, he would have come back a long time ago. Although we're childhood friends, that's only since we were kids. How many of your childhood friends are you still in contact with?"

Mai Encui nodded unconsciously.

“Besides, the Fang family’s daughter already has a boyfriend. Wouldn’t it be awkward if he came back and bumped into her?” Zhang Zhongquan continued.

"Is the Fang family's daughter and your nephew really having an affair?"

Mai Encui couldn't resist gossiping.

Zhang Zhongquan shook his head, "How would I know? But there is such a thing as an arranged marriage between children. I was actually a little worried before..."

"No matter what, the Fang family's daughter is now a top lawyer. If your nephew really gets together with her, he'll be set for life..."

"Heh. Aren't they all just bubbles?"

Zhang Zhongquan sneered, "It's all fake. The Fang couple seem selfless and kind on the surface, but what are they really like? They're just hypocritical drama queens. How could they possibly marry their daughter off to a poor, lonely guy? That would ruin her life. They were just going through the motions because my cousin and his family were alive. As soon as they left, their true colors came out. I met the Fang family's daughter's current boyfriend at Jiang Huazi's house. He's just like them—pretentious and boastful. Maybe it's because they're like that that they're so satisfied with him, treating him like a son-in-law, and even letting him stay overnight at their house."

"Staying overnight? Really? The Fang family only has two beds, right?"

Maindry was shocked.

"I saw it with my own eyes when I went to the Fang family that night, how could it be false?"

Zhang Zhongquan scoffed, "So they're all hypocrites. They talked about strengthening family ties before, but what happened? Their daughter found a new love and they don't even mention her anymore."

Mai Encui sighed, "Alas, I never imagined the Fang family would be like this."

"So all people are fucking selfish!"

As Zhang Zhongquan drank his beer, he not only felt at ease, but even seemed to be standing on high ground, looking down on all living beings.

Mai Encui nodded, eating her food, and asked, "What are your thoughts?"

"What did you think about?"

"The house."

"Look at this place," said Mai Encui. "Can anyone still live here? I can't stand it anymore."

Ok.

The house was successfully returned.

And the money was returned.

However, the most fundamental problem has not been solved.

Their goal isn't to argue, it's to move to a new house.

"Buy a new house or a used one?"

"I asked, Maintree."

"Of course it's new."

Without a secondhand thought, Zhang Zhongquan bought a secondhand item. Not only would he find it uncomfortable to live in, but it would also be incredibly embarrassing if word got out.
"The new apartments are all off-plan, so we have to wait. Who knows if we'll run into the same problem again?"

Mai Encui looked worried.

Once bitten, twice shy.

Although this time it was a close call, I'm still shaken and how could I not be afraid of repeating the same mistake?

Zhang Zhongquan frowned, his pleasant mood dissipating, and he silently drank his beer.

If we really had a choice...

He preferred to receive the house without paying any money, even though it seemed like he hadn't lost any money. He hadn't made any money either, and he had also invested a lot of time and energy.

Buying a house again means starting all over again and waiting for at least a year and a half or even three to five years. If you end up with a developer like Greenland again, you might as well jump off a building!

"Next, I'll visit various real estate developments and do some research..."

Shabei New District.

A private club.

A dinner party was also underway, but it was much more elaborate than what ordinary people like the Zhang family would have, featuring many dishes that were banned.

A ban.

It's meant to be broken.

Moreover, as the most intelligent of all beings and the rulers of the world, what's wrong with humans eating some animals?
"Thank you for your help, Dean Gao."

The prominent entrepreneur from Shacheng, Chairman Fan of Greenland Group, was present. Judging from the way he toasted, he wasn't even the main guest tonight. Instead, there was a bald, middle-aged man in his forties or fifties with an oval face, thin and bony, who looked somewhat malnourished.

"Chairman Fan, you're too kind. We're all family here. Helping outstanding local companies like Greenland solve their problems is simply our duty. It's nothing to mention."

"Den."

The wine glasses clinked together amicably.

"Having a leader like Dean Gao is truly a blessing for Shacheng, and it also gives us business owners peace of mind."

"Hehe, the construction of a city depends on many aspects. Chairman Fan, you and I complement each other."

Fan Wanli, always amiable in front of the camera, smiled and nodded, "Eat your food."

"The egrets here are the most authentic."

Dean Gao, whose head was brighter than a lamp, took a bite and exclaimed in admiration.

"If Dean Gao likes it, you can come anytime."

Dean Gao waved his hand, "Sigh, with my salary, how can I afford to come here often? Besides, I have to support my good-for-nothing daughter."

Here's a detail.

Fan Wanli was drinking wine, but the other person's cup contained water.

Without him.

Only the prohibition of alcohol.

"Has my little niece graduated yet?"

"She graduated, it's been a year already. Sigh, let's not even talk about her. She's lazy, ambitious but incompetent. It's all my fault for not raising her properly..."

"If Dean Gao doesn't mind, why not let her give Greenland a try?"

Dean Gao's eyes lit up. "Really? But my daughter has no experience in civil engineering."

"No, you can learn. Besides, Greenland has many departments, there's bound to be one that's suitable."

"Well... Mr. Fan, I won't stand on ceremony with you. Next week, I'll have her intern at Greenland Group?"

"What kind of internship?"

Fan Wanli said dismissively, "We'll see which department it is then, I'll just appoint him as the supervisor."

Dean Gao was taken aback, then quickly said, "Chairman Fan, how could I possibly accept this..."

Fan Wanli retorted with the same words, "We're family, so let's not speak like outsiders."

Dean Gao was moved and raised his glass in a toast.

"That's all, Chairman Fan. If there's anything I need in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

Fan Wanli smiled.

"Dean Gao, you are mistaken. We are all serving the people."

Dean Gao smiled and nodded repeatedly. The two cups clinked together, making a crisp sound under the luxurious lights.

"Yes, to serve the people." (End of Chapter)
