Rebirth in officialdom and rising to the top

Chen Wangyang's eyes almost popped out when he heard this, he pointed at his nose and said in disbelief:

"What are you talking about, Joey? A whole apartment building? You want to transfer it to me?"

Joey Zhong nodded like a normal person and said:

"Yes, I will transfer the ownership to you. If Liu Jinlong sends someone to check who the owner of the house is, this will prevent the gang from getting involved, right?"

Chen Wangyang shook his head and said:

"Even so, one room is enough. What's the point of a whole apartment building? No, no, I can't have it!"

Zhong Joey rolled her eyes at him charmingly:

"Who said last time that you would never be pretentious with me again? My whole life, Joey Zhong, belongs to you, so what does an apartment building mean? In your eyes, husband, I am dignified. The eldest daughter of the Zhong family is not worth as much as an apartment building?"

Chen Wangyang couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said:

"Joy, are you trying to change your concept to play sophistry with me? These are completely two different things, okay?"

At this time, Joey Zhong became uncharacteristically stubborn and pouted and said:

"Anyway, I don't care. You have to accept the things I give you, otherwise you don't love me!"

Chen Wangyang was immediately confused. Why does this have anything to do with love or not?

Why is Joey a little weird today?

In the past, she had never forced herself to accept her gifts!

Is it because of the change in the relationship with myself?

What Chen Wangyang didn't know was that Joey Zhong was actually a very insecure girl at heart.

After completely surrendering his body and mind to Chen Wangyang last night, Joey Zhong wanted to share everything he had with Chen Wangyang and create more bonds and links with Chen Wangyang.

There is a term in management accounting called "sunk costs", which refers to expenses that occurred in the past but are not relevant to current decisions.

When people decide whether to do something, they not only look at whether it is good for them, but also look at whether they have already invested in it in the past.

People refer to these irrecoverable expenditures, such as time, money, energy, etc., as "sunk costs".

The sunk cost effect also applies to love. When two people are in love, the one who pays more sunk costs feels more inseparable from the other person.

And once this person feels that he can't live without the other person, he will devote all his efforts to the other person in order to move the other person and prevent the other person from leaving him.

However, often for such people, the ending of love is not very good, because in the end their dedication can only move themselves, while the person they love will only feel pressure or even boredom...

Only when such people meet a partner who is particularly grateful can they always have a relatively complete love. In most cases, they will only become tragic heroes in love - or even What people in later generations call the "god of pure love"...

At this time, Joey Zhong seemed to be in the same mental state as this type of person.

Even after reviving his life, Chen Wangyang still couldn't understand Joey Zhong's mood at this time, and still insisted on his decision:

"Joy, I know how good you are to me, and I'm very touched, but I can't agree to this today. It has nothing to do with whether I love you or not!"

It stands to reason that Chen Wangyang's attitude at this time has been very clear, but Joey Zhong's thinking has reached a dead end at this time - PTSD patients are inherently more likely to get into trouble than the average person -

So she still asked relentlessly:

"If you really love me as you say, and treat me as someone as important as Uncle Chen, Aunt Yang and sister Xiaohan, what reason do you have for not accepting my gift? If this building Uncle Chen gave you the apartment building, will you refuse to accept it?"

Speaking of this, a trace of sadness flashed in Joey Zhong's eyes:

"Or, in your eyes, the so-called man's dignity and worldly vision are more important than the love between us?"

Chen Wangyang was almost speechless by Zhong Joey's questioning, and couldn't help but start thinking about this question:

Yes, the reason why I refused Zhong Joey's gift so firmly was because of some bottom line of principle in my heart, or was it because of concerns about a man's face and worldly views?

Is the three views correct or is it a deeper, subconscious selfishness?

After all, there is essentially no difference between Joey Zhong giving him an apartment building and giving her a bouquet of flowers. Those so-called gaps in value are nothing but added by humans themselves...

It's like saying, if you really don't care about money, why should you care how much the gifts others give you are worth?

This kind of torture from the soul is not something Chen Wangyang can figure out in a short while.

So in the end, Chen Wangyang chose to escape and gave what seemed to be the most reasonable reason:

"No, Joey, as you know, I am now a national cadre and the head of a town. I have many things to worry about. It is almost impossible for me to receive such a huge wealth gift like an ordinary person." As the saying goes, three people make a tiger, and accumulation destroys bones. Even if we are walking in the right direction, we cannot ignore the intrusion of those rumors!"

Speaking of this, Chen Wangyang remembered that Tianxia Group was about to participate in the bidding for the Qingyun Gold Mine project:

"Also, your Tianxia Group is about to participate in the bidding of Qingyun Gold Mine. At this juncture, you suddenly gave me an apartment building. Anyone who sees it will think that this is an exchange of interests and between me and Tianxia Group. Interest transfer, right? Do you really want the pure love between us to turn into a dirty deal involving collusion between government and businessmen in the eyes of others? "

Zhong Joey stared deeply at Chen Wangyang with her beautiful eyes. After a while, she lightly opened her red lips and said word by word:

"If it's just for this reason, it's simple. I can immediately ask Lao Zhong to withdraw from the Qingyun Town gold mine project, and guarantee that Tianxia Group will not go to any place where you are in power to engage in real estate development, government projects, etc. from now on." There may be commercial activities involving interests!”

Chen Wangyang almost collapsed when he heard this, and said helplessly:

"Uncle Zhong has been working on the bidding documents for two days for this gold mine bidding. Are you going to give up just because of this little difference between us? Isn't this too unkind of you?"

At this moment, Joey Zhong rarely slapped the table and shouted with great emotion:

"Chen Wangyang! You are the one who is so unkind, right?! If that doesn't work, let's get the certificate now. Once we get the certificate, we are legally husband and wife. Is that okay?"
