Chapter 1095: Then Let's Spar

Ye Shang and Ye Fang, Wang Yan knew these two people.

Because they were Ye Zhenzhen's cousins, both developing in Shanghai, and taking care of Ye Zhenzhen by the way. Investigating Lucy was something these two did.

So now that these two appeared before him, the reason was clear. It must be that Ye Zhenzhen communicated with her family yesterday and talked about his affairs. Ye Zhenzhen's parents listened, investigated first, and naturally arranged this errand for Ye Shang and Ye Fang.

In the modern internet world, people have almost no secrets. Some of his information was publicly available, and as for non-public information, relying on Ye Zhenzhen's family connections, they could find it after asking around.

Wang Yan estimated that they might have heard that his private equity fund's performance was quite good, so they made a temporary decision to invest some money. They also took the opportunity to meet him and understand him in person.

Ye Zhenzhen's family had two mines, but definitely not only two mines. Seeking expansion, having larger industries, and stronger influence was inevitable after having capital. Ye family's situation was quite healthy, seeking asset growth in multiple directions, which was normal.

Wang Yan smiled and offered them cigarettes, asking with a smile: "I wonder what concerns the two of you have?"

"We also heard of Boss Wang's reputation and felt quite curious. We heard that Boss Wang is the same age as us, yet has achieved such a career. It just so happens that Boss Wang is in the company, so we wanted to meet you. There are definitely no concerns. Boss Wang's fund performance is good, that's well-known. It's just that the threshold is quite high, and many people can't get in. If the entry was one million, I'm afraid Boss Wang's asset management scale would have long exceeded ten billion."

The one speaking was Ye Shang, the thin and tall one; he was the one in charge.

"This can also be considered a screening; it's not good if people are too mixed. As for the fund scale, it's just nice to say out loud. No one will choose a fund company because the management scale is large. Only good performance, only everyone making money, is truly good. The management fee is indeed not a small number, but what I hope for more is the dividend from more profit."

"Boss Wang is straightforward and speaks the truth. We also heard that Boss Wang's performance is good, so we ran over early this morning. The economic situation in recent years hasn't been good, the real economy is hard to do, and we don't understand other industries. Thinking about money depreciating in the bank makes my head ache."

"So the two of you are doing the real economy? In what aspect?"

"Import and export, just making a living. Boss Wang is also clear about the changes in the world situation in the past two years; it's not easy to do."

"The changes in the world situation are most intuitive when reflected in the financial market. My fund company's performance is okay at present, but there is no business that only makes money and doesn't lose money. No one can always win; there is always a time to lose. The two of you should have a count in your hearts about this point."

"That's natural, we are most at ease handing it over to Boss Wang's company."

"Then let's strive to outperform the market and not let down your trust," Wang Yan waved his hand. "Sign the contract for the two gentlemen, and just transfer the money to the account within a week. When the time comes, our company will pull the two of you into a group chat. Daily reports, weekly reports, monthly reports, quarterly reports, annual reports, not one less, and there will be some gifts during the holidays. Occasionally, we may also organize some activities, and we will act as a bridge to introduce everyone to get to know each other and get rich together."

"That's really a good thing. To tell you the truth, Boss Wang, we are both from small places, and we really lack this opportunity. Thank you, Boss Wang."

"You let me make money, of course, I let you make more money. Everyone is good, that's truly good," Wang Yan smiled and stubbed out his cigarette. "That's it, I still have things to do, excuse me."

In the time it took to smoke a cigarette, he made two men cough up twenty million for him...

"You listen to yourself, your words are contradictory. You say people have momentum, but you're not satisfied with people's hospitality. We are begging people to make money for us. You don't know how good his performance is; handing over ten million to him steadily earns our brothers' pocket money.

Besides getting a large sum of money from demolition, he made everything he has today himself. We brothers can't compare with him. To tell you the truth, Third Uncle coming over is about the same as being able to have an equal dialogue with him; he is truly a big shot. This is really, comparing people to people will kill you; there's no place to reason. Alright, I'll call Third Uncle and tell him about Wang Yan's situation, and then let's go see what's going on with that Lucy."

While talking, Ye Shang took out his phone and called Ye Zhenzhen's father...

In the blink of an eye, two days passed. This day was Saturday, and some working people ushered in a rest.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Ye Zhenzhen found a ladder and was changing a light bulb at the door of 2202, performing her daily good deed.

Just like in the original drama, Ye Zhenzhen said she returned from studying abroad to settle in Shanghai, and He Minhong, without using her brain, chattered, saying Ye Zhenzhen went abroad to study just for a Shanghai household registration, destroying fair competition.

Yu Chuhui naturally couldn't stand it and grabbed He Minhong for a lecture. He Minhong didn't have any ability when facing others, but when facing these people she was already familiar with, she wouldn't show weakness, and they started arguing immediately.

"Why is there such a big fire early in the morning? I heard it upstairs."

The noise stopped immediately, and everyone looked at Wang Yan, who walked out of the stairwell.

Ye Zhenzhen looked him up and down and smiled: "Not bad, Boss Wang, I didn't see that you were quite well-built."

Wang Yan was now wearing tight clothes on his upper body and sports pants on his lower body. Under the effect of the tight clothes, his good figure was revealed.

"I am a sports expert."

"I saw it early. The WeChat sports of the few of us, you are topping the list every day, pushing on time every day. You run two or three thousand steps every day, it's scary. No wonder you can eat so much. This figure, tsk tsk..."

"Understood, this is eyeing my male beauty. But I am a gentleman."

"I spit, who believes it."

After joking for two sentences, Wang Yan asked: "What are you arguing about? So lively?"

"Brother Yan, come and judge for me." He Minhong walked over directly and repeated the conversation just now indignantly. "You say, Brother Yan, am I right?"

"I speak very directly."

"Brother Yan, it's just about speaking the truth."

"This is what you said yourself." Wang Yan smiled and said, "From the perspective of human relationships, you didn't consider the feelings of your friends at all when you said this. Especially you didn't consider Zhenzhen's feelings. You just felt it was unfair, so you said it so directly, without caring about them at all. To put it more heavily, you are completely self-centered.

Then let's look at it from the perspective of facts. Your words have a certain correctness, but they are biased. You have to understand that the world we live in is far from achieving the Great Harmony in books. Fairness is a big proposition, and there is no way to discuss it easily. Just talking about the matter of Zhenzhen going abroad for a Shanghai household registration.

Some people go abroad just to gild themselves. Some people go abroad, but it is truly to do research. In many fields, we are still a distance away from developed countries like Europe and the United States; this is a gap we must face squarely. Zhenzhen is doing life science research, and looking at her, she is doing quite well, not those water goods, but someone with real talent and learning.

Then our country, for these talents who study abroad, itself has certain preferential policies. Zhenzhen said she sharpened her head, making you think it was going through the back door, and of course, there might indeed be some operations involved. But the premise is that Zhenzhen herself must have sufficient level, so that she won't have any risks after things are done for her.

I know you have a righteous heart, and your ideas are good. But you have to consider that the real world is not the utopia you think of in your brain. There are people who are rich, and there are people who are poor. People are the same; there are people who are smart, and there are people who are confused. From ancient times to the present, there has only been relative fairness, not absolute fairness.

You feel it's unfair, so what do you want to happen for you to feel it's fair? Is it fair if you change to settle down, or if you change to have money?"

"I didn't, Brother Yan, I didn't..."

"I understand what you mean, you were just quick-tongued for a moment, and didn't think of so much. But now that you've heard me say so much, you understand. No one has told you this before, and you haven't thought about these things, right?"

He Minhong nodded repeatedly: "That's it, Brother Yan, I knew you understood me."

"Now it's the internet era, and hot news comes out every day. Every time there is a hot event, netizens are the first to comment, taking sides with clear banners, but in the end, they often experience reversals. But every time, netizens are like this; they seem to be always right.

Your current situation is somewhat like those netizens. Occupying the moral high ground at all times, according to your own ideas, looking at things as you think, and accusing others, this is very one-sided. You still have to learn more about materialist dialectics.

You have to learn your lesson and control that mouth of yours. Before speaking, put the words in your mouth first, turn them around in your brain, and think more. Many times, it's not that what you see and hear is the whole truth. You are in writing, so you should understand this truth even more. A sentence spoken, in different situations, can produce opposite effects. Various events of taking things out of context emerge one after another.

Many things are very helpless. Zhenzhen's family conditions are good, I am from a demolition household, and there are various messy unspoken rules, drinking culture, so-called human relationships, etc. But this is reality, the rules that are actually running. You can't change the rules, so you make yourself strong. Instead of holding up a moral banner whenever you encounter something, and condemning it indiscriminately.

For a while, you definitely won't be able to change this problem, but you have to have conscious control. Look more, listen more, think more, that is to say, speak less, control your strong desire to express, and you will improve after a period of time."

He Minhong blinked her eyes, received it for a while, and said: "Thank you, Brother Yan, although your truth is a bit hurtful, no one has ever told me so much. I know you are doing this for my own good."

She pouted, looking pitiful.

"Apologize to Zhenzhen."

"Hey, no need, no need. I know Honghong is simple and didn't mean anything else," Ye Zhenzhen waved her hand with a smile.

He Minhong walked over, maintaining a pitiful look: "I'm sorry, Zhenzhen, it's my fault, I will definitely pay attention in the future."

"Alright, I didn't blame you."

At this time, Lucy from 2201 opened the door and walked out, greeting quite friendly: "Everyone here?"

Without waiting for anyone else to answer, she looked at Wang Yan: "Then let's go?"

"Let's go."

"What are you two going to do?"

Wang Yan said: "She is going to the boxing gym for training, and I made an appointment with her for a thank-you lunch at noon. She asked me if I wanted to go together, and I didn't have anything to do, so I just went with her to play."

"Oh." Ye Zhenzhen nodded. "Actually, after the last incident, I think it's quite good to have some self-defense skills. If it's convenient, can I go with you to take a look?"

Seeing Wang Yan look over, Lucy smiled: "I don't mind, that boxing gym is not far from here, it's very convenient."

"Brother Yan, Lucy, I also want to go and broaden my horizons."

"Let's all go, let's all go, I'll treat you to lunch."

Yu Chuhui waved her hand: "I'll pass. I teach children dance part-time, I have to go to class in a while."

Zhu Zhe also refused: "I'll pass. I want to make some beef sauce at home, Wang Yan, I was just about to send you a WeChat message. And the hotel has a lot of things to do. Although it's a rest day today, I don't know when they will find me, so I have to go over at any time."

Wang Yan fiddled with his phone and said: "I sent you the password for my house, you can just go do it yourself. If there's nothing to do, everyone go to my house tonight to eat something and taste Zhu Zhe's craftsmanship together."

"I agree," Ye Zhenzhen raised her hand first.

Immediately after, it was He Minhong, who liked to join in the fun, especially since she now regarded Wang Yan as a confidant...

Yu Chuhui said: "Then let's go to Brother Yan's house to broaden our horizons."

"It's just ordinary, what horizons are there to broaden," Wang Yan shook his head with amusement. "Then let's do this, we estimate we'll be back at two or three in the afternoon, and then we'll buy all the vegetables together. You don't have to rush to make that beef sauce, we'll all do it together when we get back."

Zhu Zhe opened her eyes wide: "Did I agree?"

Wang Yan smiled: "Can I say I don't agree?"

"Can I say I don't agree?"

"That's it, then it's happily decided."

He Minhong said: "Then can't Sister Zhu go with us?"

"I beg you, let me lie on the bed quietly," Zhu Zhe looked listless.

"Then Jiji, rest well, Zhenzhen and I will go change clothes." Ye Zhenzhen said.

"Then we'll go down first."

Thus, Ye Zhenzhen and He Minhong trotted back to change clothes, while Wang Yan followed Lucy downstairs first.

"You get along very well with the four of them, it's only been three days since you met, right?"

"Met three times."

Lucy smiled: "Then you still have quite a bit of affinity, getting familiar with them so quickly."

"They are also relatively outgoing people who are willing to make friends. You are relatively cold."

"We aren't friends?" Seeing Wang Yan nod with a smile, Lucy raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm just like this, actually it'll be fine after everyone gets familiar."

"There must be some different encounters that made your enthusiasm come later."

"Aren't we friends?" Seeing Wang Yan smile and nod, Lucy raised an eyebrow and said, "That's just how I am. Actually, once everyone gets to know me, it's fine."

"Understood, your encounter must be bad, and no one helped you, and didn't stand on your side, making you somewhat disheartened."

"Uh..."

Lucy was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and smiled, "Can't chat anymore, I feel like I have no secrets in front of you."

Indeed, there were no secrets, whether outside or inside, above or below, front or back... no back! He didn't like that!

Wang Yan naturally wouldn't show this kind of somewhat lewd bad taste. He remained unchanged, still smiling: "Just saying it casually, you just need to shake your head and smile lightly, or use a playful tone, saying 'you guessed it really accurately,' then it would be fine. Instead, it let me know that I guessed it right."

"So?" Lucy asked with a smile.

"So you have to love yourself and love life."

Lucy followed Wang Yan's gaze and looked at her wrist. She subconsciously adjusted her wristband to cover the scar.

Looking at Wang Yan's smiling appearance, she was silent for a long time and said: "Actually, I heard the argument between He Minhong and Yu Chuhui earlier. This world is unfair. Some people can use the east wind of the times to be in a high position and do whatever they want with the power in their hands."

"Power and profit amplify the darkness in human nature, which is a very normal thing. It's like most men want the red flag at home not to fall, and the colorful flags outside to flutter, but most people don't have this capital."

Lucy was silent again, and only after a long time did she shake her head and smile bitterly: "It seems I still need to practice, I really can't hide anything in front of you."

Because Wang Yan's "it's like" didn't say anything else, only talking about the little things between men and women.

She asked: "How did you guess it?"

"Because you are very beautiful."

"What about you?"

"I am definitely not a good person, but I am also definitely not a bad person."

"Heh, men are all the same," Lucy rarely rolled her eyes. She let out a long breath, "Actually, it's nothing to say it out. It's just that someone wanted to take advantage of me, but I resisted to the death and didn't let them succeed. The price was this scar on my wrist, plus being criticized, and going abroad. I came into contact with MMA abroad, and I thought that if this happens again, I'll have some ability to deal with it and smash his dog head."

"Smash it if you want, but can your fist not be aimed at me?"

Lucy knew Wang Yan was easing the topic, and she also pretended to be relaxed, making a small provocation: "Spar later?"

"Men and women shouldn't touch each other. If we really fight, I can't control it, and I don't have a sense of proportion. Who knows which move will touch something that shouldn't be touched? My dog head is still useful, let me go."

"What era is it, still saying these things?"

"Don't pretend to be open. You're either in tight clothes or short skirts with white legs every day, but actually, you're more conservative than anyone else."

Lucy glared at him and didn't say anything more, because Ye Zhenzhen and He Minhong had already come over.

"There are only four of us, let's take one car, we can chat on the way," Ye Zhenzhen said.

Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "Okay, how about you drive my car?"

"Wow, you're the only male comrade, and you still want me to be the driver?"

"I know Dr. Ye has a heart that wants to speed."

"How did Honghong say that sentence?"

He Minhong didn't understand and looked confused: "Zhenzhen, what did I say?"

But she heard Ye Zhenzhen smile: "Brother Yan, you understand me." She still wanted to learn He Minhong's appearance.

"I don't have that."

"You are like that."

After joking around like this, everyone got into Wang Yan's S8, Ye Zhenzhen in the driver's seat, He Minhong strongly requested the passenger seat, and Wang Yan naturally sat in the back with Lucy.

On the way, the four chatted quite happily. It was mainly He Minhong and Ye Zhenzhen who talked a lot, while Wang Yan guided them from time to time, and Lucy listened with a smile.

Lucy was naturally a person with heavy defenses and wouldn't easily tell her heart to others.

It was just that they met every morning for morning exercises, and they always had to joke a few words. Plus the common encounter of catching the pervert earlier, they weren't distant, and today they chatted about those things sentence by sentence.

Of course, this wasn't the main reason. It might be that the sentence Wang Yan said, "So you have to love yourself and love life," hit her, and her eyes were already a bit red at that time. With her emotions at that point, it was natural for her to talk about her encounters.

Later, it was Wang Yan who used the dog head matter to tease himself, which eased her emotions. Actually, her eyes were still a bit red at that time, but she deliberately avoided the sight of Ye Zhenzhen and He Minhong, so they didn't notice, and she was fine after a while in the car.

Of course, that wasn't the main reason. It might have been that line Wang Yan said—"So you have to love yourself, you have to love life"—that struck a chord with her; her eyes were already a bit red at the time. With her emotions at that point, it was only natural for her to talk about her experiences.

Thus, chatting and laughing all the way, everyone arrived at the boxing gym where Lucy had a membership.

As soon as the four entered, a man trotted over to greet them: "Lucy, you're here."

Lucy smiled and nodded: "You came so early?"

"No, just arrived."

Another man who followed this person joked: "Right, just arrived fifty minutes ago."

After being exposed, this person was a bit embarrassed and messed around with his friend.

Lucy said: "They are my neighbors, here to experience it today."

"Hello, my name is Li Qixing, Lucy's good friend. This is Little Huang," he introduced himself, scanning Wang Yan, his eyes carrying a bit of aggressiveness.

He really didn't notice just now, because his focus was on Lucy, and everyone else was out of focus, which was called "no one in his eyes."

Ye Zhenzhen also introduced: "My name is Ye Zhenzhen, this is He Minhong, this is Wang Yan, just here with Lucy to broaden our horizons."

Li Qixing nodded quite friendly.

Lucy said: "Then I'll go change clothes first."

"Hey, Lucy, I've been training for a while, why don't we spar today?" Li Qixing asked with some anticipation.

Hearing this, Lucy stopped her steps for the first time, then subconsciously turned her head back to look at Wang Yan, who was standing with his arms crossed and smiling. Because Wang Yan had just said that fighting was taking advantage...

Seeing Lucy look at Wang Yan, Li Qixing felt sour.

He smiled: "Hey, didn't notice just now, buddy, your figure is quite good, professional fitness?"

"Just moving around when there's nothing to do."

"How about this, anyway you're here to experience it, and your strength must be quite large with such a figure. I'm a beginner, you heard it just now, I want to spar. Why don't we spar? You don't have to be afraid of getting hurt, we're both wearing protective gear, right buddy?"

Ye Zhenzhen and He Minhong looked at each other, both with small excitement of watching the show.

Lucy glanced at Li Qixing and looked at Wang Yan with interest: "How about it? Want to try?"

Wang Yan looked at Lucy deeply...

Before he could speak, Li Qixing saw the two exchanging glances and was already sour.

"Don't tell me you're afraid, buddy?" He started to provoke.

Wang Yan smiled: "Then let's spar..." ===== CHAPTER 1096 =====

"You wouldn't be afraid, would you, buddy?" He began to goad him.

Wang Yan smiled: "Then let's spar..."
