Chapter 322 Lan Weiwei Receives the Certificate
This was not the first time Wang Yan tried to persuade Yang Tao, but it was of no use because he couldn't make Yang Tao stop. As she said, she loses money every day when she opens her eyes. She loses more money in one month than she made in a year as a lobby manager. It is normal to be unable to bear it.
It's mainly just a habit, you'll get used to it over time.
Inviting Lan Weiwei to sit down, Yang Tao asked with a smile: "Weiwei, why did you come to see me today? Are there no classes in the afternoon?"
Glancing at Wang Yan, who was picking up his cell phone, Lan Weiwei had a sweet look on his face: "I've registered to receive my certificate!"
"congratulations!"
Wang Yan glanced up symbolically to show his surprise, and continued to play with his mobile phone with his head down. It was something that everyone had known for a long time, and it was nothing new. He was just waiting to see how long it would last for these two people, which was still a bit interesting.
Yang Tao opened his eyes wide: "Really? With Li Kui?"
"Well, who else could it be?" Nodding angrily to his good friend who stuck out his tongue, Lan Weiwei took out the marriage certificate from the small bag he carried with him: "He came back from a business trip yesterday, and he didn't even have a baby at home. He came back to my place and proposed to me directly." As he spoke, he also shook the diamond ring on the ring finger of his left hand.
Yang Tao took the marriage certificate and read it with a smile: "Weiwei, look how happy you are smiling."
Lan Weiwei shook his head and smiled: "Look carefully, you are happy. This smile makes you look older. The lines at the corners of your eyes, nasolabial folds, etc. are all coming out. You are indeed getting older. After all, you are not as fresh as you were in the first few years." .”
"What the hell, you don't look old at all, you are so beautiful. Besides, I think the photos of women on their marriage certificates are the most beautiful!"
"Really? I think so." Lan Weiwei looked happy: "Actually, this happened quite suddenly, and I was not mentally prepared at all. I was thinking about it before, he hasn't contacted me for a long time, so... When I was angry, 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, and registered all the way. She led her away, but I still haven’t figured it out yet.”
"It's normal. I was the same at that time. You have known each other for more than two months, right? I only knew him for twelve days, and he proposed directly. Until the adverse reactions of pregnancy, I thought it was a dream. It was too fast." Glancing at Wang Yan, who was playing with his cell phone next to him, Yang Tao smiled and said, "Li Kui is pretty neat at work, and he immediately decided on a lifelong event. I finally found my true love and got married. I'm so happy for you, Weiwei, congratulations."
Lan Weiwei said: "To be honest with you Taozi, as you said, we have only known each other for more than two months. In fact, I had a lot of concerns and worries at the beginning. But think about it, people of our age group Women are actually getting worse day by day and depreciating every day. It is not that easy to find a good man. Li Kui, he has very good conditions and treats me very well. If I miss him, I will never be able to find a good man in this life. You may not be able to find a better man than him."
Wang Yan, who was silent while playing with his mobile phone, understood clearly. This meant that if she did not depreciate, Li Kui's condition would be no good. And she probably doesn't have much feelings for Li Kui, who is just a good marriage partner who meets her criteria for choosing a spouse. To be honest, apart from her prominence, Wang Yan didn't think she was very beautiful or anything else attractive. This confidence was really enough...
Star Tao nodded repeatedly, she agreed, and at the same time waved to her staff to get three glasses of juice. Absolutely freshly squeezed and natural, Wang Yan got it to take care of the star fruit. There are a lot of fruits, which can be regarded as employee benefits. If you want to drink it, you can drink it yourself. As for what customers drink, it's all mineral water, so it's not hard enough for someone to get it just once. Once the other one is provided for free, there will definitely be people who come over to entertain them and drink juice, which is redundant.
After Yang Tao finished giving instructions, Lan Weiwei looked at Yang Tao's belly and said, "Li Kui also wants a child, and I'm ready to get pregnant."
"Really?"
"Yes, if two people are together and want a stable relationship and a harmonious family, they must have a child."
"You're right, I thought so too." Yang Tao nodded and said: "You don't know, at that time I was still thinking about living in a world of two. After all, we basically just met each other at that time. The reason why we wanted to It was my mother who pushed hard for the child, and the hotel happened to refuse to renew my contract at that time, so I agreed. Now my belly is getting bigger day by day, and I look forward to the birth of the child in the future. Weiwei, it’s not easy. Hold on to the happiness you have obtained."
"Of course I know, otherwise I wouldn't agree to his proposal."
"Hey, Weiwei, have you started preparing for your wedding?"
"It's not decided yet." Lan Weiwei shook his head and smiled: "But you have to make my wedding dress beautiful for me. Wang Yan, you are a professional. When the time comes, I will ask you to help with our wedding photos." Take a photo."
Wang Yan nodded: "Of course, no problem."
"Weiwei, don't worry, I promise to dress you up beautifully and take pictures more beautifully." Yang Tao showed his small white teeth: "I'll measure your size in a while. I'll have the first draft in a few days. I'll call you later." Come over and see if there is anything you are not satisfied with, and try to fix it directly. Otherwise, it would be too troublesome to make and then change it. You are also involved in the production of your own wedding dress, and you will have a greater sense of accomplishment after wearing it. ."
"It's up to you, Taozi. Anyway, I don't understand, so what do you say?" Lan Weiwei never closed his mouth and kept smiling: "But there is one thing you have to pay attention to, don't be tired, we I don’t know how to arrange it yet, but if I tire you out, your Wang Yan will not eat me.”
"It's okay, don't worry Weiwei, I'm just waiting for the good news from you two."
Yang Tao really didn't care. There was no business in their store every day. They were just designing wedding dresses. She didn't make them by hand. How could she be so tired? And let’s not say that she is not good at handicrafts. Even if she is good at it, after what happened before, she is not willing to make Lan Weiwei’s wedding dress with her own hands. It looked like the conversation was going well, but in reality it wasn't really that great. Everyone was being hypocritical.
Then the two of them talked randomly for a while, mostly Lan Weiwei telling her about the beautiful married life she imagined. Yang Tao listened, and from time to time gave examples of her and Wang Yan's daily life, and the conversation was pretty good. happy.
After a while, Lan Weiwei drank the last sip of juice and packed his things: "Taozi, Wang Yan, I've been here for a long time, I won't disturb you two, let's go."
Wang Yan nodded.
"There is no need to disturb you. You can stay as long as you want, and you can stay as long as you want?" Yang Tao pretended to be unhappy, and then smiled and said: "You just registered with Li Kui, and it's hot, so we won't I’ll keep you, let’s have dinner together another day.”
"No problem, I'm treating you." Lan Weiwei stood up with the small bag and waved his hand to signal Wang Yan and Yang Tao not to move: "No need to send it away, I'm too polite to you two. I'm leaving, you can get busy."
Yang Tao smiled and waved: "See you later, Weiwei."
"Goodbye." As he spoke, Lan Weiwei nodded to Wang Yan with a smile, turned around and left.
Seeing Lan Weiwei leave, Yang Tao smiled and said, "She advised us both to think carefully before, but now I and Li Kui have received the certificate so quickly."
"Didn't you hear what she said? It's getting worse every day, and the value is depreciating." Wang Yan put his mobile phone in his pocket: "That means that after passing this village, there will be no such store."
"Okay, no matter what, you are marrying yourself off, and Li Kui's condition is really good, and ordinary people can't match it. Weiwei and Li Kui are pretty good together."
This is not quite right, because what Wang Yan heard from Lan Weiwei was that it would be good for Li Kui to be with her...
He was about to speak when the cell phone he had just put in his pocket rang. He took it out and looked at the caller ID, then put it to his ear and answered the call: "Hello? Sure enough?"
"Well, it's okay. Do you want something to drink?"
"Of course, but first, let's make a deal. I'm treating you, and no one can compete with anyone. Last time we opened, we asked you to have a drink with Qixing. This time it's just right, so I must treat you."
"There's not much to say, okay, it's settled, at six o'clock in the evening..."
After giving the address of the hotel, Wang Yan hung up the phone and shook his head at Yang Tao. Before he could say anything, Yang Tao rolled his eyes: "I heard it, and I asked you to drink with me. You said you were treating me, and you even invited your brother-in-law to join you." , follow Qixing and you guys. When it’s time, take it to mom’s house, and then drink your wine.” As he spoke, Qian Qianyu pointed at Wang Yan’s chest.
"The arrangement is really good, let's do it like this." Wang Yan grabbed Yang Tao's hand and pressed it against his broad chest.
"Okay..." Yang Tao winked, took out his hand, stood up and started walking with his stomach lifted. Sitting and chatting with Lan Weiwei took too long, so she had to move around.
In the evening, he sent the carambola to his mother-in-law's house and left the car downstairs. Wang Yan took a taxi to the appointed hotel.
"We're all here. Sorry, I'm a little late." Wang Yan arrived at the reserved private room and saw Duan Xifeng, Guo Ran, and Hu Qixing enjoying tea and chatting inside. He apologized repeatedly.
Sure enough, he waved his hand and said: "Hey, we guys don't have so much to talk about. You just have to drink two more glasses."
"No problem, no problem." Pulling out a chair and sitting between Duan Xifeng and Hu Qixing, Wang Yan asked, "Have you ordered?"
"No, your treat hasn't arrived yet, how can we be so embarrassed?"
Wang Yan looked at Sure enough with a smile: "You have to drink two more drinks like me. Just now you said that our brothers don't have so much to talk about, and now you are embarrassed? It's too shameful."
Sure enough, he clasped his hands together and said, "Hehe, hehe, I said the wrong thing."
Taking the menu from the waiter who came in, Wang Yan said: "Come on, Qixing, let's order for the two of us. They will be full after eating something. Just order what we both like."
Duan Xifeng laughed and cursed, and said: "Hey, I don't object to what you say, but Qixing, you are the most expensive one. There are not many opportunities to take advantage of big players, so you have to seize it."
"Xifeng is right, Qixing, if you let go, you have to let Wang Yan bleed." Sure enough, he followed suit.
Hu Qixing rubbed his hands: "Then I won't be polite."
Wang Yan waved his hands grandly: "How can I, a nouveau riche, make you poor? Work harder!"
This hotel is sufficient. Four people can eat and drink for several thousand yuan. Of course, you're welcome, but Hu Qixing also had a sense of proportion and didn't even look at the expensive dishes. Wang Yan ordered them all himself.
After ordering the food, several people drank tea and talked.
Duan Xifeng asked: "We haven't seen each other for more than half a month, how are you doing recently?"
Hu Qixing chuckled: "It's not bad. I've taken on two big jobs recently, and Piaopiao and I are very good friends. It's just that our career is going smoothly and our family is happy."
Wang Yan sighed: "Qixing, why isn't your wife here?"
"She asked her friends to go out to play. You said we are a bunch of good buddies drinking. What is she doing here? Really."
"That's why you said that because she wasn't here." Duan Xifeng smiled and said, "You have been married for two years, and you don't have any thoughts of having children?"
Hu Qixing waved his hand: "Aren't we living in a world of two? Besides, we are still young. We can have children anytime we want. There is no rush."
"That's true." Duan Xifeng looked at the smiling man next to him: "How are you doing lately?"
Sure enough, he took a sip of tea and said and gestured: "What else can I do? Serve the people. I see people getting divorced for various reasons every day, and I give them a stamp of approval."
Duan Xifeng really owed it, and asked without giving up: "Don't give me a bad look, is that what I meant? Xu Guangmei, how are you and her?"
"No, can you not mention her to me?"
"Yes, yes, I'm anxious when I say it. Can I stop saying it? I won't say it anymore." Duan Xifeng didn't care and continued: "Then there's no progress in your relationship issues? If you really plan on it, Are you so single?"
As expected, he was impatient and gave Duan Xifeng a slap in the face: "Can you change the topic? I'm so bored every day, can you stop talking about this? When you go out to drink, you are happy and relaxed. I am not asking you to do it to me. It’s just too much trouble. Otherwise, you can go back and accompany your wife. Our three brothers are very good."
"Okay, I'll treat it like a donkey's liver and lungs with good intentions. I won't say it anymore. Why don't I just eat it?" As he spoke, he picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the cold dish that had just arrived.
"Hey, Wang Yan, look, look, they didn't even serve all the dishes, so they ate by themselves first. Yes, we don't pay attention to that, but we should have a drink first. This is good..."
Wang Yan nodded in approval, opened the wine and poured a glass for Duan Xifeng: "You punish one first, it's too much."
Duan Xifeng nodded with a smile and drank a glass by himself. Then Wang Yan and the others poured the wine and drank with the cold dishes on the side.
After chatting and joking for a while, the ordered dishes were served one after another, and the four of them officially started drinking.
After having a drink together, Wang Yan said: "Sure enough, you have been doing photography for so many years, do you know anyone who is filming a movie with the crew?"
Sure enough, he is a civil servant in the Civil Affairs Bureau, but his classmates and friends are quite adequate. I know a lot of people from lawyers to company CEOs. Moreover, in the original drama, Duan Xifeng asked him to borrow money from a loan shark. He could lend more than 800,000 yuan by calling someone and making a guarantee himself, which was quite good.
So from this point of view, after so many years of photography, I must have a lot of good friends. I don’t know where I photographed with or how I photographed, but I definitely know a lot of people.
"Making a movie? What do you want to do?" Sure enough, he frowned, puzzled: "I'm telling you, brother, you are rich, but you don't have much money in movies. Now you collect rent every month, and Taozi, you two can run a bridal shop safely together, how wonderful it is, so don’t mess around, just be content."
"What are you thinking about?" Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "That's the thing. Although my photography skills are not very high, I have photographed everything. Recently I wanted to study who are the people who make movies. Techniques, keep learning. On the one hand, I gain knowledge and make progress. On the other hand, when I take over the task of videotaping the whole wedding process, it would be boring to just record it normally. What if I make it for people like those blockbuster movies? Yes, do you think my business can be bad? Isn’t this just because you know a lot of people, see if anyone can introduce me, so that I can save myself the trouble of finding a way."
It is said that he has been in the entertainment industry before, but he has never been involved in the actual operation. Either writing a script or casting a movie, and more often than not, being an angry young man in public. I have definitely never done directing or photography work. Then I thought about finding Guoran and taking a shortcut. Although he could ask up there himself, it would be too tedious. Being able to sneak in directly and having someone with him would be much better than trying to get in by himself.
"Hey, in this industry, many people shoot like this. But this is not simple. Shooting alone is not enough. There must be post-production and so on. Let me tell you, it is all a team job. You I can imagine how the bridal shop's business is going, after all, a wedding dress costs tens of thousands, not many people can afford it, and you can't make much money by renting it, so it's definitely not good."
Sure enough, he said sincerely: "If you recruit people at this time, the expenses will be even greater. If you have money, it's not that easy to lose. I advise you to think about how to sell those wedding dresses designed by Taozi first. You think about all that? It's too early, and it won't be too late in the future. Besides, Tao Zi is already four or five months pregnant, right? How can we divorce someone? The idea is a good idea, but it's a bit too early, so you'd better save it."
"I know everything you said, but Taozi's condition is not bad now. There are people who are still working after eight or nine months of pregnancy. Taozi is not such a pretentious person. Besides, there are employees in the store to help. Now the store's Business is not that good, and I have nothing to do there, so I might as well go out and do some activities, don’t you think?"
"And what do I think? If you know someone, help me connect, build a bridge, and hang out in a high-level crew. I don't need a few dollars in salary, what we want is to learn something . So as long as I have people I know and free time, I can work for free when I have nothing to do. Wouldn’t that be great?”
After explaining it, and seeing Sure enough nodding his head, Wang Yan raised his glass and said, "What you said really helped our buddy think about it. Sure enough, I'd like to toast you a glass." After saying that, he raised his head and drank two ounces of wine.
"That's too unreasonable to say, I'll accompany you." Sure enough, he laughed, raised his glass and took a sip, put down the glass, then thought for a moment and said, "Tell me about this person, I actually know him, he's from that capital city I'm from the film studio. I'll contact him later to see if it can work out. Once I get the letter, I'll let you know. Let's have a drink together then. It shouldn't be a big problem. He's just in that industry and has a wide range of people. , if that doesn’t work for him, he can introduce you to other crews or something. Anyway, you don’t need any money, so you can work for free. I would love this free labor. In short, leave this matter to me, and you can rest assured."
"Come on, after everything is done, you must give it a good beating. Come on, drink and drink."
After hearing Wang Yan's greeting, Hu Qixing, whose mouth was full of oil while eating, and Duan Xifeng, who was smiling and obedient, followed suit and had a drink together.
They chatted and joked for a long time, and each of them drank more than half a catty. Needless to say, Wang Yan was not even confused by the amount of wine, and the remaining three were not bad at all. There was basically no problem.
Sure enough, the man who was so red from drinking frowned and said, "Hey, I've been thinking about resigning recently, what do you think?"
"Not very good." Duan Xifeng shook his head: "Your iron rice bowl that guarantees harvest despite drought and floods is such a good job, especially in our capital city. I don't know how many people want to do it but can't do it. You are good, you still want to do it. I resigned."
"Too arbitrary." Wang Yan waved his hand and said, "Sure enough, he must have his own ideas. You should let him talk about what he thinks before talking."
Hu Qixing nodded: "Wang Yan is right, brother, what do you think?"
Sure enough, he sighed: "I have been arranged by my mother since I was a child, going to school, majoring, working, and now I am looking for a wife, working in the Civil Affairs Bureau, and seeing people getting divorced every day. I am really fed up. It’s boring. I’m thirty-five now and I haven’t lived for myself for so many years. It makes me uncomfortable just thinking about it.”
"The main thing is that Xu Guangmei has been harassing me recently. She is now the executive director of the China Region of Global Photography. She said that she was just for the company I joined, this, that, that, and this. She is annoying me. But, she is... The harassment also made me crazy. I thought about quitting my job at the Civil Affairs Bureau and doing photography. And to be honest, the job now is stable, but the income is not much. No. I enjoy photography and I can make money. I feel a hundred or a thousand times better than now."
Duan Xifeng came forward coquettishly: "You want to take advantage of Xu Guangmei's relationship to take photos around the world?"
Sure enough, without saying anything, she slapped him on the arm: "Can you stop mentioning her all the time? Give me back the relationship I borrowed from her? Why can't I get in by myself?"
"Yes, my brother's strength is there, what does it matter?" Hu Qixing pointed at Duan Xifeng: "Hurry up and drink one yourself, it's annoying."
"He's not irritating, he's too irritating. How can I know him?" Sure enough, he sighed and shook his head.
Duan Xifeng didn't care and drank a glass of wine by himself with a smile: "I'll drink the wine, but let me make it clear that Xu Guangmei brought it up yourself."
Sure enough, she pointed at him with a dumbfounded expression: "I really want to die with you."
Wang Yan cleared his throat and said: "Don't pay attention to him. Sure enough, I think you are right. I personally support you very much. With your ability, you will definitely make more money than you do now. The most important thing is If you like it, that's good. Besides, since you have told us now, then just think about it and do it. Even if you are unlucky and don't make any money, we brothers can't watch you starve to death, right? It would be great if you come over to my place and take wedding photos with me."
This was what Guo Ran said. After all, if he hadn't made a decision, he wouldn't have said it to this dinner table. Although he hesitated, the matter was decided the moment he made the move. And he also resigned in the original drama, so it was no big deal. Maybe this time, he will be able to go to Africa and photograph lions that he always wanted to do.
"Forget it, your business isn't that good, so don't even think about taking care of me." Sure enough, he shook his head with a smile and looked at Hu Qixing: "Qixing, you told me before that we would work together to do your business." Does it still count to open a shop and then open a studio?"
"Of course it counts. I've called you so many times before and you haven't come." Hu Qixing twisted his butt twice and sat upright: "Do you really think about it now? I'm always welcome, brother."
Sure enough, he slapped the table: "I have decided to resign from the Civil Affairs Bureau and let's work together!"
Hu Qixing clapped happily and said loudly: "Great, brother, I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
"Okay, give me your account number later and I'll call you the money." Sure enough, he smiled and said, "That's what I think. Next year, we will try to open another store. Within five years, we will open a national chain store." , there must be at least seven stores. In terms of business, I think we need to expand. From now on, we can’t just take pictures of dogs, we have to take pictures of people as well.”
"Okay, brother, I will listen to you. I will go back and tell Piaopiao that she will be so happy." Hu Qixing laughed: "Come on, let's have a drink. I wish us to become bigger and stronger and create brilliance together."
This is truly a sincere brother.
Wang Yan raised his glass and said, "Would you like me to vote for you?"
"Forget it, you have too much money and we have too little, so why don't we work for you? You can't take advantage of us." Sure enough, he said with a smile: "Wait for the future, we will start doing it in the future, and we will find another one then." You invest. I don’t know what will happen now, how can I let my friends lose money?”
Wang Yan didn't say any more. He didn't care about this thing. If he needed it, he would invest in it. If he didn't, he would pull it down. There was no point in rushing to ask for money.
After saying this, the four of them drank another drink and a few bottles of beer to fill the cracks, then happily dispersed and went back to their respective homes.
Wang Yan still followed Duan Xifeng in his car, and together they called for a driver to go to his mother-in-law. Fortunately, he left the driver behind, went up to pick up Yang Tao, and asked him to drive the two of them home.
Go home, wash, massage, and gossip aimlessly until sleepiness sets in and you fall asleep...
