~14 min read 2,660 words

"I know I love eating Juewei's duck products, I'm not a local, but I've also heard some things about Juewei, and I've long wanted to interview them, I even applied for an interview, but was rejected."

Ye Xiaolang continued to add, stealing a glance.

Qiao Yicheng said: "Wang Yan doesn't like to accept interviews. The interviews he accepted in the past few years were all unavoidable, and it was just when I started working that I happened to be in the company, so I interviewed him."

And now the general manager of Juewei is Erqiang, and the manager of Jin Ling is Simei. Wang Yan doesn't manage Juewei's affairs much anymore. Why don't I talk to Erqiang and let you interview him?"

"But Wang Yan is more legendary, you just talk to him, this is not a big deal." Ye Xiaolang hugged Qiao Yicheng's arm, her tone sweet.

She said it easily and naturally, as smooth as the evening breeze at this moment. This is a small matter, a small matter that she said and Qiao Yicheng should agree to.

But Qiao Yicheng was in a dilemma.

No matter how immersed he was in happiness, he would be clear-headed when it came to Wang Yan.

He had forgotten how long it had been since he was in a dilemma. Being hungry was a dilemma, younger siblings getting sick was a dilemma, father not being worry-free was a dilemma, the family's future was a dilemma, all kinds of sadness seemed to have disappeared from his life.

But the sense of despair that rose from the bottom of his heart, he would never forget, that was the source and motivation of his progress, giving him infinite courage.

He knew that the disappearance of those sad things was because of Wang Yan's appearance. From the time Wang Yan appeared in the Old Qiao house at the age of thirteen, Erqiang played with Wang Yan, Simei followed him to eat and drink, Sanli's studies were tutored, and even Old Qiao drank a few more bottles of wine. At that time, even if he had a cold, he didn't need Wang Yan to prescribe medicine, just put some medicinal herbs when cooking, and eat two meals to be fine...

Not to mention reaching this point now, Erqiang is the legal person of Juewei, acting as general manager, Simei is the manager of Jin Ling, Ma Suqin is the manager in charge of other duck products, and other relatives and friends, all have risen to heaven and lived a good life.

So Qiao Yicheng was grateful to Wang Yan, so he never added other troubles to Wang Yan, and privately kept an eye on several younger siblings, and Old Qiao was the focus of monitoring.

So he shook his head: "Xiaolang, forget it. There are so many things worth reporting, it doesn't have to be Wang Yan. There are many things that can be reported about Juewei, such as employee benefits, the company's development philosophy, the construction of the industrial chain, etc., these are all commercial thinking and business models formulated by Wang Yan that lead the country and are in line with the world."

"But there are too many such reports, not novel at all." Ye Xiaolang said, "Yicheng, I know you don't want to rely on Wang Yan, don't want to add trouble to him, but it's just an interview, it's no big deal. He can play glass balls with children all afternoon, I interview for an hour, we are all one family, it shouldn't be like this, right?"

Qiao Yicheng frowned at her: "Xiaolang, you said it too, it's just an interview, so it's no big deal not to interview."

Noticing Qiao Yicheng's seriousness, although she didn't agree in her heart, Ye Xiaolang waved her hand considerately: "Why so serious? If you don't interview, don't interview. I just thought there was this convenience, no other meaning, don't think too much, Yicheng."

While speaking, she hugged Qiao Yicheng's arm tighter, and also increased the force of leaning, making Qiao Yicheng lean to the right involuntarily...

"I know you are not that kind of person, Xiaolang." Qiao Yicheng nodded, silently keeping away from the curb, "You might be very curious about Wang Yan, indeed, let alone you, I am curious many times. Let me tell you from the beginning, that was 1983, Sanli was just in the first year of junior high, and she was a classmate of Wang Yan..."

The two walked on the road unhurriedly, and with Qiao Yicheng's narration, Ye Xiaolang also understood Wang Yan's help to the Old Qiao family in changing their fate...

"Xiaolang, you know now, Wang Yan has helped our family too much over the years, we can't go and add trouble to him."

Ye Xiaolang smiled brightly: "I think you just think too much, Yicheng, Wang Yan has been in your house since he was thirteen, you have long been one family. What he gives you is material, what you give back is spiritual, no one helps whom, no one owes whom, why divide it so clearly?"

"No." Qiao Yicheng didn't distinguish, just shook his head and denied.

Looking at Qiao Yicheng who was more serious, Ye Xiaolang let out a long breath: "Alright, alright, no is no. Let's live our own lives, don't touch or rely, right?"

"It's impossible not to touch or rely."

Qiao Yicheng of course saw Ye Xiaolang's "are you sick" look, and talked about his affairs in the TV station, "This is already touching and relying. Liu Xiaomeng teased me for being low-key before, I think your newspaper colleagues know it, right? It's also good for you. But that's it, don't trouble Wang Yan unless it's absolutely necessary, this is what I want to say.

We live our own lives, currently it's enough to live very well, lacking nothing, worrying about nothing, striving for our own ideals, with no worries behind. This is Wang Yan's greatest help to us, we can't greedily ask for more. Can you understand, Xiaolang?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I know." Ye Xiaolang's tone was infinitely doting, "I won't talk about interviews in the future."

"Others won't work either!"

"Alright, alright, no, no, none of them work."

"I'm not joking with you."

"Oh, I know, I'm very serious, okay."

After turning this page, the communication between the two became pleasant, they were lovers in love, full of each other. So Qiao Yicheng ignored Ye Xiaolang's little cleverness...

For Qiao Yicheng's marriage, the Old Qiao family really mobilized. Erqiang looked for motorcades, videos, etc., Simei often took Ye Xiaolang out shopping, buying clothes and cosmetics, choosing wedding dresses for Ye Xiaolang, and ordering suits for Qiao Yicheng. Sanli and Old Qiao were busy notifying relatives, confirming personnel, etc.

Only Wang Yan was the most relaxed, he arranged for the restaurant to come up with a wedding banquet menu.

The restaurant he opened was named Shanghai Hongyun E, it was a proper big restaurant, with a very powerful back kitchen, mainly operating Zhejiang cuisine, supplemented by other cuisines, with a fifth-level master chef as the head chef, leading a fifth-level and several fourth-level disciples, ensuring the high level of cooking.

And at the same time cultivating newcomers, cultivating one master after another with considerable craftsmanship, and organizing activities to regularly communicate with other famous chefs to promote mutual progress and improvement.

For such a restaurant, the price Wang Yan set was not high. Excluding the lack of fame and customers at the beginning, with the fermentation of time and a certain reputation, the business of Shanghai Hongyun Restaurant became better day by day.

Scattered tables come by fate, first come first served. Private rooms need to be booked in advance, the longest has been booked until three months later. More than half of the people queuing for private rooms are those who got rich first. As for the composition, that's another matter.

At the same time, in order to take care of Old Qiao, he was given a scattered table. After all, Old Qiao went every day, even if he brought friends, one scattered table was enough.

And the private rooms specially reserved for small gatherings and large gatherings were always reserved. When not in use, they were given to those who had connections. If they were used, they were determined in advance, which did not affect the normal operation of the restaurant, nor did it offend those who thought they had connections.

For such a restaurant, undertaking Qiao Yicheng's wedding banquet was naturally no problem.

It was just that there were too many people for Qiao Yicheng's wedding, otherwise, when Wang Yan was really free, he would cook in the back kitchen here. After all, he had just broken through the fifth level, the freshness hadn't passed, and the skills needed to be consolidated, so people often ate the dishes he cooked himself, but the diners didn't know it...

Two months later, Yicheng's wedding was held at Shanghai Hongyun Restaurant.

Besides the relatives and friends of the Qiao family and Qi family, there were also Yicheng's classmates and friends, as well as colleagues from the station. The most heavyweight person on the scene was the deputy director of the TV station, who came to be the witness for Yicheng. The host was the station's leading male host, a familiar face to everyone, which could be considered quite decent.

Wang Yan received the deputy director who gave face, as well as the director's secretary, and the host, etc., and sat at a table in the corner with Qi Weimin and Song Qingyuan to eat and drink.

"Delicious, too delicious. Wang Yan, Yicheng's wedding is average, but this banquet is really good." Song Qingyuan was a whirlwind chopstick shovel mouth, and had to mutter his resentment about Yicheng insisting on marrying Ye Xiaolang.

Qi Weimin slapped him: "Stop talking, it's a great day for people, don't be like this."

"I'm really doing it for Qiao Yicheng, you guys have little contact with that Ye Xiaolang, not very clear... hey, forget it, forget it, Wang Yan will know later, this is not a good person."

Song Qingyuan is a proper good brother, daring to say disappointing words. Of course, he wasn't stupid enough to say it in front of Qiao Yicheng and Ye Xiaolang, nor would he say Qiao Yicheng's faults in front of others.

The people sitting here were just the few of them, so he felt relieved to speak...

Wang Yan smiled, holding a chicken leg and eating sweetly: "Whether she is a good person or not doesn't matter, in the end, it's Big Brother Yicheng living his life, as long as he can bear it. You said it, I can cover the bottom for him, so it doesn't matter."

He waved his hand and turned to say, "Alright, let's not talk about this. Brother Weimin, hurry up and handle it, and do it at my place when the time comes."

"Don't harm me, Wang Yan, I work in the government, it's not suitable to do it so big."

"Oh, what's the big deal?" Song Qingyuan didn't care, "There are too many weddings and invitations, many people are waiting for this time to expand their connections, you don't know how many gifts your leaders receive, what problem can there be if you handle it?"

"That can't be following the example of the top, the leader doesn't insist is the leader's problem, I can't not insist on myself." Qi Weimin was righteous.

He is like Qiao Yicheng. Not a pedantic person, but also a person with persistence, this is a very excellent quality.

Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "Then just set a few tables of wine at my place, invite familiar people to have a meal, count all the tables of dishes as my gift. Hey, Old Qi, no need to argue about this, I'm such a big boss, it's nothing to arrange a few tables of food for you?

Serving the people, sticking to principles, and sticking to the bottom line are all good qualities of national cadres. But there is no rule that you can't make friends after becoming a cadre. You don't grasp other friends, maybe they ask you to handle things, what can I ask you to handle? The comrades in the discipline inspection commission can't pick out any faults."

So Qi Weimin stopped refusing: "Then I'll thank you, big boss. Come, Xingyu, let's drink with the big boss first, this is the sponsor of our wedding."

At this time, Wang Yan saw from afar that Qiao Yicheng, who had left dizzy to the restroom, was obviously much more spirited, and walked back with a worried look on his face, and following him was his father-in-law.

The father-in-law was very happy, walked to the table and sat down, gave his wife a positive look, and the couple was happy. Old Qiao, who saw them like this, thought he had accompanied them well, and immediately toasted more enthusiastically.

Although he was always at odds with his eldest son, seeing him once meant a small quarrel, and being scolded once, but today was his eldest son's big happy day, so Old Qiao, as a father, was happy.

Perhaps he was not happy that his eldest son was getting married, but the style of the wedding, showing off so much, made Old Qiao even more upright.

Song Qingyuan also noticed Wang Yan's line of sight, and saw Qiao Yicheng who was obviously hanging his face and the father-in-law behind him who was happy.

"Why do I feel Yicheng is not very happy?"

"I heard you gloating." Qi Weimin condemned, he also saw it.

"The disaster is also found by Qiao Yicheng himself, you guys saw it, it's obviously the father-in-law making things difficult for him, there are only two things that can make him difficult, either asking for money or asking him to handle things. It's just married, and things have come to him, I don't know how many troubles there will be in the future."

Song Qingyuan is a knowledgeable person, who has gone to charm for women, not to mention that the bystander is clear, he can feel Ye Xiaolang's scheming.

Several people were not gossips, they just said a few words, among which Song Qingyuan was mainly talking, he was resentful that Qiao Yicheng didn't listen to good advice.

But he only said it to Wang Yan and Qi Weimin, in the original drama, although he showed great dislike for Ye Xiaolang, he didn't say anything else. Speaking out now, of course, is because everyone has common topics, all expressed their lack of optimism about Ye Xiaolang, he is looking for recognition.

But as said before, in the final analysis, Qiao Yicheng is living his own life, as a friend feeling that a good friend has fallen into a pit, just complaining a few words, and it's not that he has any deep hatred.

So everyone happily ate and drank together.

Today is the home field of the Old Qiao family, Erqiang, Sanli, and Simei are all very busy, constantly worrying about things on both sides. This time it's not as simple as in the original drama, only Ye Xiaolang's parents came, but many relatives and friends also came from that side. This is Erqiang and others thinking of being perfect, spending money to hire buses to pull them over, arranging accommodation, arranging food and drink, all are quite a lot of consumption.

So not only the smile on Old Qiao's face couldn't close, but Ye Xiaolang's smile couldn't close either.

Ye Xiaolang of course also likes today's style, this is only one aspect, on the other hand, she truly became Qiao Yicheng's announced legal wife, and can openly rub against Wang Yan...

?? Daily thanks to the good brothers who tipped, voted for monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and silently read the book for their strong support!
