Chapter 327: Lan Weiwei Registers

It wasn't the first time Wang Yan had persuaded Yang Tao, but it was basically useless, because he couldn't stop Yang Tao from thinking. Just as she said, every morning when she opened her eyes, she was losing money, and she lost more in a month than she earned in a year as a lobby manager, so it was normal that she couldn't hold on.

It was mainly a habit; after a long time, she would adapt.

Greeting Lan Weiwei to sit down, Yang Tao asked with a smile, "Weiwei, why did you come to find me today? No class this afternoon?"

Glancing at Wang Yan, who was scrolling through his phone on the side, Lan Weiwei said with a sweet face, "I registered for my marriage certificate!"

"Congratulations! Congratulations!"

Symbolically looking up to show his surprise, Wang Yan continued to look down at his phone. He had known about it for a long time, nothing strange; he was just waiting to see how long these two could last, which was considered a bit interesting.

Yang Tao opened her eyes wide. "Really? With Li Kui?"

"Yeah, otherwise who else could it be." Lan Weiwei, who was annoyed at her good friend who was sticking out her tongue, nodded and took out her marriage certificate from the small bag she was carrying. "He came back from a business trip yesterday, didn't even go home, came straight to my place, and proposed to me directly." While speaking, she also shook the diamond ring on the ring finger of her left hand.

Yang Tao took the marriage certificate and looked at it with a smile. "Weiwei, look how happy you are."

Lan Weiwei shook her head and smiled. "Look carefully, happy is happy, but this smile is very old. What crow's feet, nasolabial folds, all come out. Age is indeed old, not as watery as the first few years."

"Where, you don't look old at all, how beautiful. Besides, I think a woman's photo on the marriage certificate is the most beautiful!"

"Is it? I think so too." Lan Weiwei was very happy. "Actually, this matter was quite sudden, I didn't have any psychological preparation. Before, I was thinking, he hadn't contacted me for a long time, and I was angry, then he suddenly appeared in front of me and proposed to me directly. Li Kui's momentum really made me unable to resist, he proposed to me, met my parents, all the way to registration, I was stupidly led by him, I haven't figured it out until now."

"Normal, I was the same at that time, you two have known each other for more than two months, right? I only knew him for twelve days, he proposed directly, until the adverse reactions of pregnancy, I felt like I was dreaming, too fast." Looking at Wang Yan playing with his phone beside her, Yang Tao said with a smile, "Li Kui is quite neat, directly set the lifelong event. Finally found true love and married herself out, really happy for you, Weiwei, congratulations."

Lan Weiwei said, "To tell you the truth, Taozi, just as you said, we only knew each other for more than two months, actually at first I also had a lot of concerns, and was quite worried. But think about it, women of our age are actually getting worse every day, depreciating every day. If you want to find a good man, how easy is it. Li Kui, his conditions are quite good, and he is very good to me, if I miss him, I might not find a better man than him in this life."

Wang Yan, who was playing with his phone without saying a word, understood. This meant that if she didn't depreciate, and Li Kui's conditions weren't good, there would be no play at all. And she probably didn't have many feelings for Li Kui, just a good, marriage partner who met her criteria for choosing a spouse. To be honest, except for her being a bit prominent, Wang Yan didn't feel how beautiful she was or what other attractive things she had, this confident energy was really enough...

Yang Tao nodded repeatedly, she approved, and at the same time waved to greet the subordinates to get three glasses of juice. Absolutely freshly squeezed and pure natural, it was brought by Wang Yan to take care of Yang Tao, a bunch of fruits, which was considered employee welfare, drink if you want, do it yourself. As for the customers, they were all mineral water, it wasn't worth the effort to get one for someone. Another reason was that once provided for free, there would inevitably be people coming to harass them to drink juice, superfluous.

After Yang Tao finished ordering, Lan Weiwei looked at Yang Tao's belly and said, "Li Kui also wants a child, and I am ready to get pregnant."

"Really?"

"Yeah, two people together, want feelings to be stable, family harmony, must have a child."

"You are right, I think so too." Yang Tao nodded. "You don't know, at that time I was still thinking about the world of two people, after all, we basically just knew each other for a while. Later, the reason why I wanted a child was also because my mother urged me tightly, and another was that the hotel didn't renew my contract at that time, so I agreed. Now this belly is bigger day by day, I am looking forward to the child being born later. Weiwei, it's not easy to get happiness, you have to hold it tight."

"Of course I know, otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to his proposal."

"Hey, Weiwei, have you started preparing for the wedding?"

"Not yet." Lan Weiwei shook her head and smiled. "But you have to make my wedding dress beautiful, just right Wang Yan you are a professional, when the time comes, our wedding photos will also trouble you to help take them."

Wang Yan nodded. "Of course no problem."

"Weiwei, don't worry, I guarantee to dress you beautifully, take even more beautiful photos." Yang Tao revealed her white teeth. "I'll measure your size in a while, wait for a few days when I have the first draft, then call you over to see if there is any dissatisfaction, strive to get it done directly. Otherwise, it's too troublesome to change after making it, and you participate in the production of your own wedding dress, and you will have more sense of achievement when you wear it."

"Arrange it as you like, Taozi, anyway, I don't understand, how you say is how it is." Lan Weiwei's mouth never closed, always laughing. "But there is one thing you have to pay attention to, don't get tired, we don't know how to arrange it yet, if you get tired, your Wang Yan won't eat me."

"No problem, don't worry Weiwei, I'll just wait for your good news."

Yang Tao really didn't care, there was no business in their store day by day, just designing a wedding dress, not her handmade, how tired could it be. And don't say her handmade wasn't good, even if it was, with the previous things, she was willing to make a wedding dress for Lan Weiwei by herself. Looking at the chat, it was actually not that good, everyone was hypocritical.

Later, the two talked about things messily, mostly Lan Weiwei telling her imagined beautiful married life, Yang Tao listening, occasionally taking her own small daily life with Wang Yan as an example, chatting quite happily.

After a while, Lan Weiwei drank the last sip of juice, packed her things. "Taozi, Wang Yan, stayed for half a day, I won't disturb you two, leaving."

Wang Yan nodded.

"Where is there any disturbance, isn't it stay as long as you want, stay as you want?" Yang Tao pretended to be unhappy, then smiled. "You just registered with Li Kui, it's hot, we won't keep you, let's eat together another day."

"No problem, I'll treat." Lan Weiwei took her small bag and stood up, waving her hand to signal Wang Yan and Yang Tao not to move. "Don't send me off, you two are too polite. I'm leaving, you two get busy."

Yang Tao smiled and waved. "Goodbye Weiwei."

"Goodbye." While speaking, Lan Weiwei smiled and nodded at Wang Yan, turned and left.

Watching Lan Weiwei leave, Yang Tao laughed. "She advised us to consider carefully before, now she registered with Li Kui so quickly."

"Didn't you hear her say, getting worse every day, depreciating." Wang Yan put his phone into his pocket. "That means if you pass this village, there is no such shop."

"Alright, no matter what, she married herself out, and Li Kui's conditions are indeed good, ordinary people can't reach it. Weiwei can be with Li Kui, quite good."

This was not quite right, because Wang Yan heard Lan Weiwei's meaning was that Li Kui could be with her, quite good...

He was about to speak, the phone just put into his pocket rang, took it out and looked at the caller ID, then put it to his ear and connected. "Hello? Guo Ran?"

"Yeah, nothing, want to drink?"

"Of course, but let's say first, I treat, no one fight, no one grab. Last time our store opened, I said I would treat you and Qixing to drink, this time just right, I must treat."

"No need to say so much, alright, it's decided, 6 o'clock in the evening, at that..."

Reported an address of a restaurant, Wang Yan hung up the phone and shook it at Yang Tao, before he could speak, Yang Tao gave an eye-roll. "I heard, Guo Ran asked you to drink, you said you treat, and called brother-in-law together, with Qixing you. When the time comes, send me to Mom's, then go drink your wine." While speaking, her slender fingers pointed at Wang Yan's chest.

"Arranged really well, just do it." Wang Yan took the opportunity to grab Yang Tao's hand, pasted it on his broad chest, clingy.

"You're something else..." Yang Tao gave a charming eye, pulled her hand out and stood up, supporting her belly and started strolling. Sitting for too long chatting with Lan Weiwei, she had to move.

In the evening, sending Yang Tao to his mother-in-law's house, the car was left downstairs, Wang Yan took a taxi to the agreed restaurant.

"All here, sorry, came a bit late." Wang Yan arrived at the agreed private room, saw Duan Xifeng, Guo Ran, Hu Qixing chatting happily inside, apologized repeatedly.

Guo Ran waved his hand. "Hey, we brothers don't have so much to say, you just drink two more cups."

"No problem, no problem." Pulled out a chair, sat between Duan Xifeng and Hu Qixing, Wang Yan asked. "Have you ordered?"

"Not yet, you who treat haven't arrived, how can we be embarrassed to order."

Wang Yan looked at Guo Ran with a smile. "You have to drink two more cups with me, just said we brothers don't have so much to say, now embarrassed? Too unreasonable."

Guo Ran put his hands together. "Drink drink drink, I said the wrong thing."

Taking the menu from the waiter who followed, Wang Yan said. "Come, Qixing, we two order, they two eat something and they are full, just order what we two like to eat."

Duan Xifeng scolded with a smile. "Hey, I don't object to you saying that, but Qixing, you order the most expensive, there are few opportunities to eat the rich, you have to grasp it."

"Xifeng is right, Qixing, let go, you have to let this kid Wang Yan bleed." Guo Ran helped.

Hu Qixing rubbed his hands. "Then I won't be polite."

Wang Yan waved his hand generously. "Can a nouveau riche like me let you eat poor? Order hard!"

This restaurant was enough, four people eating and drinking, how could it be a few thousand. Of course, saying not polite, Hu Qixing also had a sense of proportion, didn't look at the too expensive dishes at all, all were ordered by Wang Yan himself.

After ordering, a few people drank tea and started talking.

Duan Xifeng asked. "We haven't seen each other for more than half a month, how have you been lately?"

Hu Qixing laughed. "Still okay, recently took two big jobs, Piao Piao and I are also very good, it is career smooth, family happy."

Wang Yan said "Ah." "Qixing, why didn't your wife come?"

"She made an appointment with friends to go out and play, you say we brothers drink, what is she doing here? Isn't it."

"That is, she is not here, you kid just say that." Duan Xifeng laughed. "You have been married for two years, don't you have any thoughts of having children?"

Hu Qixing waved his hand. "Isn't this living a world of two people, besides we are still young, want children anytime, not in a rush."

"That's also true." Duan Xifeng looked at Guo Ran who was smiling beside him. "How have you been lately?"

Guo Ran drank a sip of tea, talking and gesturing. "How else can I be, serving the people, every day watching people divorce for various reasons, I stamp for them."

Duan Xifeng was indeed annoying, unwilling to give up and asked. "Don't give me a muddle, I'm talking about this? Xu Guangmei, how are you and her?"

"No, can you not mention her to me?"

"Get get get, get angry as soon as you mention it, get angry as soon as you mention it, don't say it, okay? Don't say it." Duan Xifeng didn't care, continued. "Then your emotional problem has no progress? Really plan to stay single like this?"

Guo Ran was impatient, gave Duan Xifeng a poke that was not light or heavy. "Can you change the topic? I'm annoyed to death every day, can you not say these? Going out to drink is happy, relaxed, not for you to add blockage to me. Otherwise, you go back to accompany your wife, we brothers are quite good."

"Get, good intentions treated as donkey lungs, I won't say it, can I eat." While speaking, picked up chopsticks and picked up a cold dish that had just arrived.

"Hey, Wang Yan, look, look, people's dishes are not all served, just eat first. Yes, we don't pay attention to those, but reasonably should drink first, this is good..."

Wang Yan nodded in approval, opened the wine and poured a glass for Duan Xifeng. "You punish one first, too much."

Duan Xifeng smiled and nodded, drank a glass himself, and then Wang Yan three poured wine, drank with the cold dish on the side.

Chatting and laughing messily for a while, the ordered dishes were sent up one after another, four people officially started drinking.

After drinking one together, Wang Yan said. "Guo Ran, you have been playing photography for so many years, do you know people who shoot movies with the crew?"

Guo Ran himself was a civil servant in the Civil Affairs Bureau, but his classmates and friends were quite enough. What lawyers, what company presidents, etc., knew quite a few. And in the original play, Duan Xifeng borrowed money from him for usury, he made a phone call, did a guarantee himself, and could borrow more than 800,000, which was quite okay.

So from this, Guo Ran has been playing photography for so many years, must also know quite a few good friends, how to shoot, how to shoot, don't know, but must know quite a few people.

"Shoot movies? What do you want to do?" Guo Ran frowned, puzzled. "I tell you brother, you have money, but your money is not much in that movie. You are collecting rent every month now, opening a wedding dress shop with Taozi, this is so good, don't toss, be content."

"Where did you think." Wang Yan shook his head and smiled. "It's like this, although my photography skills are not very high, I have shot everything, recently thinking about studying what techniques those people who shoot movies have, follow and learn. On the one hand, I increase my knowledge, progress, on the other hand, when I take jobs to record the whole wedding for people, just ordinary recording is not interesting, if I make it like those big movies, you say my business can be bad. This is thinking that you know many people, see if anyone can introduce me, save me from finding a way myself."

Although he had mixed in the entertainment industry before, he didn't intervene in specific operations. Either write scripts, or invest in movies, more was to be an angry youth in public, director, photography work definitely hadn't done. This was thinking of finding Guo Ran, taking a shortcut. Although he could also ask up himself, that was too slow, can directly mix in, someone leading, better than him trying to get in himself.

"Hey, this works, many people shoot like that. But this is not simple, just shooting is not enough, there is also post-production, etc., I tell you, that is all team work. I can also imagine how your wedding dress shop business is, after all, that wedding dress is tens of thousands, not many people can afford it, renting can't earn much money, definitely not very good."

Guo Ran was earnest. "At this time, recruiting people, the expenses will be more, money is not lost like that, I advise you to think about how to sell the wedding dresses designed by Taozi. You think those are too early, it won't be too late in the future, besides Taozi is pregnant for four or five months now, right? Can't leave people, the idea is a good idea, but a bit too early, you better save it."

"What you said I know, but now Taozi's situation is okay, there are not a few people who work when pregnant for eight or nine months, Taozi is not that hypocritical, besides there are employees in the store to help. Now the business in the store is not very good, I don't have anything to do there, might as well go out and move, you say is it?"

"And what is my idea? If you know people, give me a line, build a bridge, mix in a high-level crew. I don't lack that salary, what I want is to learn things. So as long as there are people I know, time is free, I have nothing to do and go to work for free, isn't that quite good?"

Explained once, looking at Guo Ran who nodded repeatedly, Wang Yan raised his wine glass and said. "What you said is really helping brothers consider, Guo Ran, I toast you a glass." After finishing, looked up and drank two taels of wine.

"This is too polite, accompany you one." Guo Ran laughed, also raised his glass and drank a sip, put down the wine glass, Guo Ran thought for a while and said. "You say this person, I really know, it is that Beijing Film Studio, wait for me to contact him later, see if it can be done, have news I will tell you, when the time comes we drink a glass together. Should be no big problem, he is the one who mixes in that circle, people are wide, if he can't, introduce other crews, etc., it is also okay. Anyway, you don't want money, work for free, this free labor people are eager to have. In short, this matter is handed to me, don't worry."

"Got it, after the matter is done, must eat hard, come, drink drink."

Hearing Wang Yan greet, Hu Qixing who was eating with a mouth full of oil on the side, and Duan Xifeng who was listening obediently with a smile, followed Guo Ran, four people drank a glass together.

Chatting and laughing messily for a long time, each drank more than half a catty, Wang Yan naturally didn't need to say, this wine didn't even make him dizzy, the remaining three were not bad, basically no problem.

Guo Ran, who was red to the neck, frowned and said. "Hey, I've been thinking about resigning lately, what do you say?"

"Not very good." Duan Xifeng shook his head. "Your iron rice bowl that is drought and flood-proof, what a good job, especially in our Beijing, don't know how many people want to do it but can't. You are good, still thinking about resigning."

"Too arbitrary." Wang Yan waved his hand. "Guo Ran must have his own ideas, you let him say how he thinks first before speaking."

Hu Qixing nodded. "Wang Yan is right, brother, how do you think?"

Guo Ran sighed. "I have been arranged by my mother since I was a child, school, major, work, to finding a wife now, the work in the Civil Affairs Bureau, watching people divorce in various ways every day, I am really fed up, no meaning. Now I am thirty-five, haven't lived for myself for so many years, thinking about it is not comfortable."

"Mainly it is also because Xu Guangmei has been harassing me recently, she is now the executive director of the China region of Global Photography, saying that she entered that company for me, this and that, that and this, annoyed me. But, this harassment, also made my heart wild. I just want to resign from the Civil Affairs Bureau, engage in photography. And to tell the truth, now this work is stable, but it doesn't earn much, isn't it. Doing photography, I like it, and can earn money, I think it is a hundred times, a thousand times better than now."

Duan Xifeng leaned over cheaply. "Do you want to borrow Xu Guangmei's relationship, go to Global Photography?"

Guo Ran didn't say a word, directly poked his upper arm. "Can you not mention her? Still borrow her relationship? Can't I get in myself?"

"Right, my brother's strength is there, still need what relationship?" Hu Qixing pointed at Duan Xifeng. "You hurry up and drink one yourself, annoying."

"He is not annoying, he is too annoying, how can I know him?" Guo Ran sighed and shook his head.

Duan Xifeng didn't care, smiled and drank a glass himself. "Wine I drink, but I make it clear, Xu Guangmei is what you mentioned yourself."

Guo Ran was between laughter and tears and pointed at him. "I really want to die with you."

Wang Yan cleared his throat and said. "Don't pay attention to him, Guo Ran, I think what you said is quite right, I personally support you very much. Your ability is there, definitely can earn money, definitely more than now, the most important thing is liking it, that is not bad. Besides, since you told us now, then you have thought about it, just do it. It is just bad luck not earning money, we brothers can't watch you starve to death, when the time comes you go to my place, shoot wedding photos with me, quite good."

This was following what Guo Ran said, after all, he wouldn't say it at this dinner table if he hadn't decided. Although hesitant, the matter was already decided the moment he thought about it. And in the original play, he also resigned, nothing big. Maybe this time, he could fulfill his wish of going to Africa to shoot lions.

"Forget it, your business is not very good, don't think about taking care of me." Guo Ran smiled and shook his head, looking at Hu Qixing on the side. "Qixing, what you told me before, we partner to open that store of yours, then open a studio, does it still count?"

"Of course it counts, called you so many times before, you didn't come." Hu Qixing twisted his butt twice, sat upright. "Now this is really thought through? I welcome you anytime brother."

Guo Ran patted the table. "I decided, resign from the Civil Affairs Bureau, let's partner!"

Hu Qixing clapped happily and said loudly. "Great, brother, I have been waiting for this day."

"Alright, give me the account number later, I will transfer the money to you." Guo Ran laughed. "I think so, next year, we strive to open another store. Within five years, we open a national chain, at least seven stores. I think the business also needs to expand, later we can't just shoot dogs, we also have to shoot people."

"Good, brother, all listen to you, I will go back and tell Piao Piao, she will be happy to death." Hu Qixing laughed. "Come come come, let's drink one, wish us bigger and stronger, create brilliance together."

This is really Guo Ran's loyal little brother.

Wang Yan raised his glass and said. "Do you want me to invest a bit?"

"Forget it, you have too much money, our capital is too small, that won't become working for you? Want to take advantage of us, no way." Guo Ran laughed. "Wait for the future, after we do it, then look for you to pull investment. Now don't know how it will be, how can let friends lose money."

Wang Yan didn't say much, he didn't care about this thing, if needed he would invest a bit, if not, forget it, no reason to rush to ask people to accept money.

After talking about this matter, four people drank another glass and a few bottles of beer to fill the gaps, happily broke up, each returned home.

Wang Yan still sat in Duan Xifeng's car, called a designated driver together, went to his mother-in-law's place. Just right, left the designated driver, went up to pick up Yang Tao, let him drive the two back home.

Returned home, washed up, massaged, chatted aimlessly, until sleepiness struck, slept a big sleep... ===== CHAPTER 328 =====
