Chapter 1800 Depression

Seeing Zhong Ning in such agony, Hu Manli had no choice but to agree.

Then Hu Manli asked Su Ning to prepare an insurance plan for Zhong Ning, simply because Zhong Ning's situation was too special.

Since Zhong Ning's son Junjun is a minor, if Zhong Ning dies before Junjun turns eighteen, her ex-husband, as Junjun's guardian, is entitled to the money.

However, Zhong Ning's parents have both passed away, and there are no direct relatives that can be added to Zhong Ning's insurance policy.

So this was the outcome Zhong Ning absolutely did not want to see; she couldn't let her death benefit her so-called ex-husband.

Suning racked its brains for a long time but couldn't come up with a better solution. However, Hu Manli asked Suning to find a solution from a legal perspective.

Then, Su Ning had a sudden thought and remembered Xue Xiaozhou, so she arranged to meet him for a proper talk.

Of course, work can also help Xue Xiaozhou get out of his recent gloom. Whether it was his girlfriend's betrayal or his mother's passing, both were sources of grief in Xue Xiaozhou's heart.

"Xue Xiaozhou, what's your decision lately?"

"Su Ning, I really don't understand. You're already so successful, why do you still need a loser like me?"

"You're not a loser! At least not in my eyes."

“I’ve figured it out! Wu Ya has indeed fallen for someone else, and that person is Ai Linjiang.”

"Where there is no fragrant grass in the end of the world, why bother to love a single flower."

“You don’t understand! Wu Ya and I have been together for over five years. The depth of our relationship is beyond your imagination.”

"Naive! There may be feelings between men and women, but in the end, they either turn into familial affection or go their separate ways."

"This……"

"It's obvious! Wu Ya doesn't want to be family with you."

"Tell me! What exactly is this project?"

“A female client has ALS and recently wanted to apply for an insurance plan. Unfortunately, her parents have passed away, and her only son is not only a minor, but also has custody of her ex-husband. If she passes away before her son turns eighteen, the insurance money will benefit her ex-husband.”

"Trouble!"

That's why I thought of you.

"Su Ning, you think too highly of me. I only dropped out of law school."

"If you can close this deal, I'll give you a 20% commission. In addition, you'll get 20% commission on all future projects in the team."

"This……"

"Xue Xiaozhou, you're a man! You need to pull yourself together as soon as possible. My team can be very helpful for your growth, so don't miss this opportunity."

"Okay! I'll give it a try."

Xue Xiaozhou then accepted this challenging project and dug out the law books she had studied in college.

Persistence pays off, and he finally came up with a good idea.

That is to suggest that Zhong Ning make a will and trust for Jun Jun, which can perfectly solve Zhong Ning's predicament.

Although it was unexpected that Su Ning would have Xue Xiaozhou prepare an insurance plan for her first, Zhong Ning was still moved by the plan.

The approval of her best friend Hu Manli, in particular, strengthened Zhong Ning's confidence.

Then Zhong Ning couldn't wait to sign the contract immediately, and Su Ning, who was standing next to her, immediately went to complete the formalities.

Zhong Ning asked Hu Manli to accompany her to take another set of photos, and also wanted to know what she would look like at eighty.

Hu Manli asked the photographer to Photoshop an old-age photo of Zhong Ning, which Zhong Ning wanted to leave for his son Junjun.

Hu Manli advised Zhong Ning not to lose heart and to have confidence in her illness.

"Sister Manli, how was it? Xue Xiaozhou didn't disappoint you, did he?"

"Indeed excellent! I am even more surprised by your ability to recognize talent."

"So, are you willing to accept him into our team?"

"can."

"However, I've decided to give Xue Xiaozhou a 20% commission! In addition, you will be responsible for developing new clients and maintaining old clients, and all expenses will be reimbursed by the team; Xue Xiaozhou will be responsible for legal issues, and there absolutely cannot be any mistakes; and I will be responsible for processing orders and handling claims, and I cannot let any client down."

"Great! This arrangement is perfect."

"From now on, our team's motto will be: once a contract is signed, the team will be responsible for the client from the very beginning."

"Heh heh, Suning, I didn't expect you to steal my ideas?"

"Haha, the three of us are one, so your ideas naturally belong to our team."

……

Ding Zhiyuan has been extremely busy lately, and Qiu Lisu even asked him to do prenatal education.

However, the selfish Ding Zhiyuan felt that being two months pregnant was unnecessary, so he finished telling the story as quickly as possible.

Qiu Lisu was very dissatisfied, feeling that Ding Zhiyuan was being too perfunctory, so Ding Zhiyuan had no choice but to read it seriously.

"Lisu, could I ask my parents to come over?"

"They were doing just fine back in their hometown, why did they suddenly come to Shanghai?"

"I've never seen you before, and you happen to be pregnant now."

"Alright! You can arrange it as you see fit."

Although he knew that it was impossible for Wu Ya and him to be together, Xue Xiaozhou still went to the hospital to find Wu Ya.

However, Wu Ya was very cold to Xue Xiaozhou, repeatedly emphasizing that the two of them had broken up.

When Ai Linjiang learned that Xue Xiaozhou was Wu Ya's ex-boyfriend, he suspected that Xue Xiaozhou still had feelings for Wu Ya.

So Wu Ya told Xue Xiaozhou to get as far away as possible, but Wu Ya didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so she got off the bus halfway and left.

Hu Manli called Ai Linjiang to invite him to dinner, and Ai Linjiang, upon hearing that Xue Xiaozhou would also be coming, readily agreed.

Hu Manli called Xue Xiaozhou to inform him. Xue Xiaozhou was initially reluctant to go, but when he heard that the client was Ai Linjiang, he readily agreed.

However, Su Ning was naturally aware of this bizarre plot, so he told Hu Manli about the conflict between Xue Xiaozhou and Ai Linjiang.

Hu Manli immediately realized that this matter was troublesome. "Xiaozhou, then you shouldn't go tonight."

"No! I have to go! I absolutely have to go tonight."

“Xiaozhou, Ai Linjiang and his father Ai Zhonghua are both major clients of ours. You can’t let personal matters jeopardize the team’s interests.”

"This……"

"Xue Xiaozhou, listen to my advice! If you're a real man, make something of yourself instead of drinking and fighting with your love rival."

"Even though I know what you're saying is right, I still feel uncomfortable."

"Xue Xiaozhou, the problem between you and Wu Ya still lies with yourselves. Even if Ai Linjiang hadn't appeared, someone else would have taken Wu Ya away from you."

"..."

After much persuasion from Su Ning and Hu Manli, Xue Xiaozhou finally gave up his immature idea.

Moreover, the situation between him and Wu Ya was not Ai Linjiang's fault; it was more his lack of ambition that disappointed Wu Ya.

Seeing that she had finally persuaded Xue Xiaozhou to calm down, Hu Manli breathed a sigh of relief. "Su Ning, we really owe you a lot for this incident. Otherwise, we would have been in real trouble."

"Today I'll go with you to meet Ai Linjiang. Let's see just how arrogant he is."

"Suning, don't do anything reckless! The Ai family father and son are both our major clients."

"Understood! I'm just having a discussion with him; I'm not going to actually make a move."

To express her gratitude to Suning, Hu Manli suddenly decided to take Suning to a luxury store to choose clothes as a reward.

Suning, however, unceremoniously chose an exceptionally handsome suit.

Waitresses You Qi and Hu Manli were immediately struck by how beautiful Suning looked, as if she were a fashion model.

Hu Manli was speechless when she saw the price, which wasn't discounted. She wanted Suning to exchange it for another item, but Suning simply bought it without hesitation; money was just a string of numbers to him.

"Pay the bill."

"Okay! My name is You Qi. May I add you on WeChat?"

"Great! If you ever want to buy insurance, remember to contact me. We'll always be responsible for our clients."

“Great! I’m resigning tomorrow. I want to open my own clothing store. I hope you two, Manli and Suning, will come and support me.”

"must."

……

Zhong Ning took a week of annual leave to arrange her work at the company. She then sent a message to Junjun to arrange a meeting, but Junjun made various excuses to avoid it.

Zhong Ning was heartbroken; she regretted not asking for custody of Jun Jun when she divorced him.

Junjun mistakenly believes that she doesn't want him anymore, and he still refuses to accept her.

Heartbroken, Zhong Ning got completely drunk and then called Hu Manli, who naturally understood what Zhong Ning wanted to do.

"Su Ning, something happened to Zhong Ning. Could you go to her house?"

"Isn't that inappropriate? Why don't you go to Zhong Ning's house, and I'll go and meet Ai Linjiang?"

"No way! What if you fight with Ai Linjiang?"

In fact, Su Ming had already sensed Zhong Ning's thoughts about him, after all, that look couldn't be hidden from Su Ning. "Then how about we send Xue Xiaozhou to Zhong Ning's house?"

"Aren't you annoying? Why have you become so hesitant?"

"Oh well! Looks like tonight's going to be troublesome."

"..."

Hu Manli naturally understood the concerns implied in Su Ning's words, but chose to pretend not to understand.

However, when Ai Linjiang went to the appointment alone and saw that Xue Xiaozhou hadn't come, he was undoubtedly very disappointed.

"Mr. Ai, I heard your girlfriend is Wu Ya?"

"Oh? Sister Manli, you've heard about it too?"

"Actually, you've already won, so why be so aggressive?"

"What? Sister Manli, are you lecturing me?"

"I wouldn't dare! I'm just stating a fact. If you really mind, then dump Wu Ya. But if you really like Wu Ya, then you have to accept her past. Besides, Wu Ya has already broken up with Xue Xiaozhou."

"Sister Manli, no wonder you were able to do business with our Ai family. Your eloquence is definitely not something that ordinary people can match."

"Mr. Ai, I'd like to raise a glass to you and wish you and Wu Ya a long and happy marriage."

"Thank you."

Then Ai Linjiang, looking utterly dejected, downed his drink in one gulp, feeling embarrassed that Wu Ya's ex-boyfriend was Xue Xiaozhou.

In truth, Ai Linjiang looked down on these insurance salesmen from the bottom of his heart, but now that he had picked up Xue Xiaozhou's secondhand goods, he was even more unhappy.

"Sister Manli, please pass on a message to Xue Xiaozhou: don't harass Wu Ya anymore, or I won't give you any more food."

"Mr. Ai, isn't that going too far? Buying insurance is the same as financial management and investment for you, so how does it mean you're giving us a free meal?"

"Am I wrong? Aren't you all scrambling to get a commission?"

"So what! We provide equivalent services to you customers, so it's only right that we get a commission."

"But that is what I have given you! Therefore, I am your God. Do not test my patience."

"It seems that you, Young Master Ai, are far inferior to Old Master Ai."

"you……"

"Alright! I didn't enjoy the drinks today, so I'm leaving now."

"..."

Seeing that Hu Manli actually dared to give him the cold shoulder and leave, Ai Linjiang, the young master, was furious.

However, he doesn't seem to have a good solution right now, since the current wealth still belongs to his father, Ai Zhonghua.

……

At this moment, Su Ning had arrived at Zhong Ning's house, and Zhong Ning was in a depressed mood and had drunk quite a bit of alcohol.

As soon as they saw Su Ning appear, they pounced on him.

In fact, many women in this instance world desire his body, but unfortunately, very few actually succeed.

"Su Ning, you're here? Do you know how long I've been waiting for you?"

"Sister Zhong Ning, you're drunk."

"Don't you think we're very destined for each other? We both have the character 'Ning' in our names."

"Uh? It is indeed quite a coincidence, but it's not good for you to give up on yourself like this."

"Can you give me some motivation in life?"

“This…” Su Ning didn’t expect Zhong Ning to be so direct and fierce.

“Su Ning, after I knew I was about to die, I lost all desire to live. I even thought about committing suicide to end it all.”

"This is too complicated! I really can't do it."

"You can do it! Can you give me a little bit of the joy of surviving?"

"..."

Su Ning felt that Zhong Ning did indeed have some symptoms of depression, and many of her behaviors seemed very irrational.

I'm just an insurance salesman, not some kind of caring older brother or a source of joy for others.

"Su Ning, are you really going to reject me so heartlessly?"

"Sigh..." Su Ning could only sigh helplessly.

It's unclear exactly how much time passed, but after Zhong Ning had completely fallen into a deep sleep, Su Ning got up, dressed, and left, feeling rather annoyed.

This insurance salesman is almost giving him depression; the clients he encounters are all incredibly bizarre.

Just then, Hu Manli sent a message: "Su Ning, where are you?"

"I'm just about to go home," Suning replied as he started the car.

"How is Zhong Ning's mood?" Hu Manli then asked the question she was most concerned about.

"Don't worry about me! Zhong Ning's emotions are very stable right now."

"Huh? How did you do that?"

"You know perfectly well what I'm asking! I don't believe you don't know what Zhong Ning thinks of me."

"I……"

"I'm so tired! I'm going back to rest now."

"Suning, I have some bad news for you. I think I did something wrong tonight."

"What? You couldn't resist hitting Ai Linjiang?"

"Pretty much! He said such awful things tonight that I couldn't help but yell at him."
