Chapter 648 He Yao, Don't Be Unreasonable
Tang Lili moved very quickly. After work the next day, she moved all the luggage from the shared apartment into the large flat.

After work every day, Su Mingzhe would spend time with He Yao first, then with Tang Lili, and occasionally, he would go to see Maria.

This kind of life is quite comfortable.

December 3rd is Monday.

Su Xiao drove and took Wu Hongmei to the company.

Today, most employees didn't pay much attention to their work after they got to work.

Tianlong Company pays salaries on the 10th of every month.

The time for checking wages is from the 3rd to the 5th.

Between 9 and 10 o'clock today, the Human Resources Department will upload the salary data to the company platform.

As everyone looked around, the data uploaded by the Human Resources Department finally arrived as expected.

Wu Hongmei and Tang Lili both came to Tianlong Company last month.

However, Tang Lili's working hours are longer, more than two weeks, while Wu Hongmei was only here for more than a week last month.

According to the regulations of Tianlong Company, for those who are transferred or hired in the same month, the basic salary will be paid according to the higher position, and the salary and benefits will be determined according to the respective working hours.

Just after nine o'clock.

Tang Lili checked her clothes, breath and lip color before walking out of Su Mingzhe's office.

In recent days, Su Mingzhe transferred the large flat to her, bought her a BMW worth 500,000 yuan, and gave her a bank card with a deposit of 1 million yuan.

Tang Lili already has a house, a car, and money, so she shouldn't care about the salary of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.

However, she just wanted to take a look at her payroll.

After arriving outside the office and sitting at her workstation, Tang Lili opened the company's platform website, entered her account and password, went to the salary and benefits page, and entered her password again to confirm.

The November payroll is open.

Although Tianlong Company is affiliated with Yinghai Group, its company website is separate.

Tang Lili looked at her salary list. After working for half a month, she was paid a total of 12,000 yuan, of which 6,000 was basic salary, more than 2,000 was overtime pay, more than 1,000 was bonus, and 2,000 was subsidy.

"Lili, your salary is so high!"

Wu Hongmei didn't dare to look at her own, but when she saw Tang Lili open it, she moved closer.

"Yours will not be less either."

Tang Lili and Wu Hongmei receive equal pay for equal work.

When Wu Hongmei heard what Tang Lili said, she excitedly opened her account and soon saw her own data:

"The basic salary is more than 4,000 yuan, overtime pay is 600 yuan, bonus is 500 yuan, subsidies are 2,000 yuan, and there is also a transfer subsidy of 1,500 yuan. After deducting social security and personal tax, there is still more than 7,000 yuan."

"The salary I earned in less than ten days of working at Tianlong was actually more than what I earned in a month of working at Yinghai."

Wu Hongmei calculated silently in her mind.

If I add the more than 5,000 yuan given by Yinghai Group, I can get a salary of 12,000 yuan in November.

This is the highest salary Wu Hongmei has received in the past few years of work.

"I must keep working on it! If not for anything else, just for the salary, I will keep working hard!"

Thinking of her husband Zhang Xiaobei, with whom she had been in a cold war for half a month, Wu Hongmei's eyes slowly flashed with a cold and resolute look.

As a woman, I still want to work hard, earn more money and accumulate more assets.

However, Zhang Xiaobei is busy playing games all day, calculating petty profits, and has no ambition at all.

It’s better not to have a husband like this who is greedy for comfort and has no ambition to make progress!
During lunch break, Wu Hongmei, in high spirits, called Zhang Xiaobei and proposed a divorce.

To Wu Hongmei's surprise, Zhang Xiaobei agreed to the divorce very readily.

The reason why Zhang Xiaobei did not cry and beg to keep Wu Hongmei like in the TV series was because he misunderstood Wu Hongmei and thought that he had been cuckolded.

Wu Hongmei immediately took half a day off in the afternoon and went with Zhang Xiaobei to complete the divorce procedures.

That night, Wu Hongmei and Su Xiao drank some wine and cried and made a fuss until late at night before they fell asleep.

The next day after sobering up.

Wu Hongmei finally put down the burden of the past and prepared to embrace a new life.

Unfortunately, Wu Hongmei's serious working attitude did not last long.

The last time He Yao came to the company, she had a misunderstanding with Wu Hongmei. Although she was stopped by Su Xiao, she was also scolded by Su Mingzhe.

However, this does not mean that He Yao really let Wu Hongmei go.

From time to time, He Yao would come back to the company, intending to visit Su Mingzhe, but every time she came, she would glare at Wu Hongmei fiercely.

Tang Lili, the true lover, has never been discovered by He Yao.

Time flies and it is already the end of the year.

Tianlong Company gave its employees a twelve-day holiday. Tang Lili, Su Xiao, and Wu Hongmei all went back to their hometowns.

Maria also returned to Hong Kong.

The boss Su Mingzhe, however, cannot rest.

Taking advantage of the New Year and other holidays, he was taken by Zhao Xiankun to visit leaders of various departments and various client CEOs to build up his network of relationships.

He also visited the eight founding fathers of Yinghai Group, as well as Lin Xiaomin, Hu Gongjia, and Su Mingzhe one by one.

After the busy Spring Festival.

Wait until all employees come back to work.

He Yao's photography exhibition is about to begin.

Su Mingzhe simply handed the company over to Su Xiao, and followed He Yao around, running around.

As for Xia Ming, perhaps because he saw that He Yao was already taken, he did not come to the photo exhibition to pretend.

As the photography exhibition was about to begin, He Yao and Su Mingzhe came to the exhibition hall for a final inspection.

After confirming that there were no omissions, Su Mingzhe once again gave He Yao some advice:
"Yaoyao, let's list all the photographs we took this time as not for sale."

"Husband, how many times do you want me to tell you this? My father is my father, and I am me. When I was touring Europe and America, my products were always selling well. Why is it that when I am exhibiting in Jianghai, it is not working? Is it just because my father is a small leader in Jianghai City?"

He Yao has a bad temper.

She had talked to the man many times about the auction of the photography exhibition works.

However, Su Mingzhe kept persuading her.

"Yaoyao, indeed, from a legal perspective, you and Uncle He are two independent individuals."

Seeing that He Yao was a little stubborn, Su Mingzhe could only use a gentle tone to explain to her slowly:
"However, Uncle He currently holds an important position in the District Construction Committee. If you hold a photography exhibition in Jianghai City and sell it, it will empower people and endanger Uncle He's work."

"I don't believe it. I have never had any problems selling my photographic works abroad, but there will be problems when I hold an exhibition in Jianghai!"

He Yao's eyes wavered a little, but her tone remained stiff:
"Does this mean that, because my father is a leader, I will never be able to sell my works in China again?"

"Yaoyao, gossip can make a person feel guilty. What if someone uses this to take action? What's more, if artists in society say that your work is only worth 100,000 yuan, but a buyer offers 500,000 yuan to buy your work, will you sell it? If you sell it, you may be suspected of bribery. If you don't sell it, won't you feel wronged?"

Su Mingzhe explained the logic behind it to He Yao.

He Yao was not unaware of this, but she still felt a little upset.

Obviously, I make a living by my talent, but now I am labeled as "second generation".

Fortunately, after Su Mingzhe's persuasion, He Yao finally agreed that this time the photography exhibition would be for display only and not for sale.

Because of this, after He Shengli found out, he specially called Su Mingzhe home and praised him highly.

Then, the photography took place for a week.

During this period, many bosses came to purchase works.

He Yao also discovered that these bosses did have ulterior motives.

The prices of her works at exhibitions in Europe and the United States generally range from 1,000 Euros to 10,000 Euros, with the highest price being 12,000 Euros.

However, these domestic buyers often bid hundreds of thousands or even millions.

It was obvious that their purpose was not to buy exhibits, but to come for He Shengli who was behind He Yao.

After He Yao saw the true faces of these people, she was depressed for several days.

After the photography exhibition, He Yao gathered her energy and started preparing for the wedding.

As for the wedding, Su Mingzhe didn't want to have a grand ceremony.

In the TV series, Liu Tiesheng, the boss of the Qunxing Group, is investigated. Many people are involved behind him, including Li Xue, who stole Su Xiao's boyfriend.

The main reason why Li Xue was involved in the investigation was that the wedding she held with Zhou Jun was extremely extravagant and wasteful, and she also accepted a large amount of gifts.

Therefore, for this wedding, Su Mingzhe advocated keeping it simple.

The reason he gave was the same as for the previous photography exhibitions, which was to avoid any negative impact on He Shengli.

"Su Mingzhe, how many times have I told you that I am me and my father is my father? Please don't affect my father all the time, okay?"

He Yao already felt very aggrieved about the photography exhibition, and now she heard that she couldn't have a big wedding, and she even had to pay for it herself, and she couldn't refuse gifts.

After months of pent-up anger, I finally couldn't help but burst out:
"Su Mingzhe, tell me the truth, do you dislike me? Do you not want to marry me? Are you still thinking about those vixens in your company?"

"Yaoyao, I'm talking to you about something serious."

Su Mingzhe was happy to see He Yao explode with anger so easily, but his face showed a helpless expression:
"I said to keep the wedding simple only for Uncle He's sake. Don't think too much about it."

"I'm overthinking? I see you just don't want to marry me!"

He Yao's temper flared up and she threw everything on the table.

Seeing this, Su Mingzhe just raised his eyebrows, and then said calmly:
"Yaoyao, please stop being unreasonable, okay? If I don't want to marry you, why should I be with you? Is it for Uncle He's position? To put it bluntly, Uncle He is only the leader of a district in Jianghai City, and he can't control the whole country. If I really want to cling to the powerful, do you think I can't pursue those children of high-ranking officials?"
