Chapter 1622 Low-key
Chapter 1622 Low-key
The incident involving Erqiang was a bit of a commotion, but it didn't cause too much of a stir. It was just a matter of venting and then it passed.
After all, what's done is done, and Erqiang is no longer a child. Ma Suqin's belly is indeed growing bigger every day, so there's no room for regret.
Of course, he didn't hide it from Qiao Zuwang, the self-proclaimed head of the family. Although the old man was bound to be furious when he heard it, his reaction was much milder than in the original drama.
Old Qiao strongly opposed Erqiang's marriage to Ma Suqin, but he was surprisingly open-minded about the fact that he had already gotten Ma Suqin pregnant, only complaining that Erqiang liked older women. At the same time, he actively encouraged Erqiang to keep Ma Suqin as a mistress and find a young and beautiful woman to marry later.
Not only Qiao Yicheng, but Sanli and Simei also joined in criticizing the old man, making him feel utterly ashamed. Simei even angrily slammed her fist on the table, declaring she would cut the monthly allowance she gave to Qiao Yicheng...
Old Joe has already taken unpaid leave, and since he started making money, he hasn't saved any. He spends as much as he earns, living a carefree life. He spends his days either drinking and playing mahjong, or, out of sheer boredom, going to inspect duck shops like he's the boss. Not only does he inspect, but if he finds any problems at a shop, he actually tells Erqiang and Simei afterwards, showing a remarkably strong sense of ownership…
After being thoroughly reprimanded and threatened with a reduction in his monthly expenses, Old Joe naturally became obedient. He only said things like, "First Brother is useless, not as good as Second Brother," and so on.
Yi Cheng completely ignored Old Qiao's unpleasant words. He was a strong-willed person and wouldn't have any other thoughts just because his younger siblings earned more money than him.
His discomfort stemmed primarily from the bittersweet feeling his parents experienced upon seeing their child finally grow up and leave their embrace. He had grown accustomed to being both a father and a mother, and now, he too needed time to adjust and adapt to not being either...
Yi Cheng successfully graduated with a master's degree and, just like in the original drama, started working at Jinling TV Station. Although Wang Yan and others kept telling him to come and help out at the company, Yi Cheng never thought of relying on Wang Yan for a living and was very independent and self-reliant.
However, he wasn't rigid. He never refused gifts from Erqiang, Simei, or even Wang Yan. He initially complained a bit about the waste, but as the company prospered, he stopped saying anything. But he never accepted money directly from them. The gifts were thoughtful gifts from his younger siblings; giving them money to spend would be disrespectful.
It was with this persistence that he always studied diligently and worked hard.
Upon hearing the good news that Yicheng had landed a job at the television station, Wang Yan and the others invited Qi Weimin and others to dinner to celebrate Yicheng's success...
"No, Qiao Yicheng, it's just an interview with a company, why are you so reluctant?"
In the van, Song Qingyuan shook his leg, looking at Qiao Yicheng sitting next to him, completely bewildered.
"It's not that I'm unwilling..." Qiao Yicheng's face showed some hesitation.
"Then what are you? What, did you get sick from eating the duck and cause trouble for them? I'm not trying to be mean, but Qiao Yicheng, you need to look at your own reasons for this. Their duck was perfectly fine. Some people just can't handle spicy food, so getting an upset stomach is normal."
"Get lost, get lost, you're getting more and more absurd."
Song Qingyuan was acting nonchalantly, clearly just saying weird things to tease him, so Qiao Yicheng punched him in annoyance.
Sometimes that's how it is between people; a brief encounter can lead to a great connection. This was the case for the two of them. After joining the company, they were assigned to the same team, worked together seamlessly, and quickly developed a good relationship, rather than just a superficial colleague relationship...
The van drove out of the city, into the suburbs, where there was a sizable old factory area. It used to be a bread factory, but now the sign at the entrance reads "Jue Wei" (meaning "Absolutely Delicious").
This was because the bread factory was not doing well, so Juewei took over the factory, absorbed the original workers, helped the government get rid of a burden, found a suitable location, and reaped more long-term benefits.
After all, this is the current edge of the city, not the future edge. As the city expands, this area will require land, and such a large piece of land will incur considerable expenses.
This is the central kitchen in Nanjing, where all the goods for Nanjing are shipped out. So here, a lot of tricycles come and go, the drivers wearing uniforms, carrying uniform bags, and pulling neatly stacked boxes full of fragrant duck products.
After informing the old man who was smoking and sunbathing at the entrance, and watching him make a phone call inside to confirm, Qiao Yicheng and the others immediately began the interview.
Because besides the old man, there were also young men with buzz cuts at the gate, who looked like they had just come down from the mountain, still full of energy and discipline.
In today's economic development context, in addition to focusing on the market share and promising prospects of JueWei Duck Neck, it is equally important to consider how many people JueWei Duck Neck supports, their income, and their standard of living.
Without a doubt, Wang Yan is known for treating his employees exceptionally well. They receive two sets of uniforms a year, two meals a day, and various duck products as gifts during holidays. They also provide all their other necessities, such as rice, flour, and cooking oil. His benefits are renowned throughout Nanjing…
During the interview, a group of people came out of the office building, and Qiao Yicheng, who was holding a microphone, had to stop the interview.
"Go ahead and record it, what are you standing there for?" Song Qingyuan said irritably, carrying the recording equipment, after all, this thing was quite heavy...
Immediately afterwards, he heard a cry of pain.
"Big brother, what brings you here?" Wang Yan greeted him with a smile. "If I had known it was you coming to interview me, I would have made sure to get Brother Qiang back no matter what."
"I only found out yesterday," Qiao Yicheng said with a smile and a shake of his head.
"Wait a minute, big brother?" Song Qingyuan looked back and forth between Qiao Yicheng and Wang Yan.
Wang Yan greeted him with a smile: "Hello, I'm Yi Cheng's brother-in-law."
"Hello, hello, I'm his colleague." Seeing Wang Yan's smiling silence, Song Qingyuan added, "And also a good friend of Qiao Yicheng! Wow, Qiao Yicheng, you're really low-key. You've never mentioned having such a good brother-in-law."
"That's just how my elder brother is. He's always been low-key and doesn't make a sound. But he's like a thunderclap in silence. He has great wisdom."
"That's enough for you." Qiao Yicheng couldn't take it anymore.
Wang Yan laughed heartily, and then led the people who came to interview him on a tour of the venue.
Watching the busy people answering phones and taking orders, then watching the orders being sent out for compilation, and then being assigned to the corresponding delivery drivers according to fixed areas, the delivery drivers then take the delivery slips to pick up the goods and deliver them, and then collect the money and return to record it.
Inside the production workshop, people wearing dust-proof suits produce duck products in a clean and tidy environment. The products go through a series of processes starting from the raw materials, and are eventually delivered to various places by delivery drivers and eaten by consumers.
In the office, the phone rang incessantly with inquiries about franchising. People from all over wanted to open franchise stores to make money, especially in areas where there were no existing franchisees.
Qiao Yicheng had been here before, but back then he was just observing, not trying to understand it from a journalist's perspective. This time was different. Listening to the various data, he gained a deeper understanding of Jue Wei Duck Neck, and he was stunned. He never imagined that in just two years, it would grow from a small duck products shop into the duck empire it is today.
At noon, they ate in the factory canteen. Looking at the dishes of two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, one pickled vegetable dish, and one soup, Qiao Yicheng and the others interviewed the employees in the canteen and got their honest opinions before sitting down to eat and drink.
"You want to make down jackets too? Mr. Wang, that's a really good idea of yours. You've even managed to make ducks look beautiful." Song Qingyuan picked up his wine glass. "Come on, let's have a sip. Why are you glaring at me? Qiao Yicheng, don't ruin the atmosphere. Let's drink openly and honestly. Right, Mr. Wang?"
"Don't try to sow discord. My brother and I are on the same side." Wang Yan laughed and raised his glass to clink with Song Qingyuan's. "Actually, there are quite a few plans ahead. I've seen foreigners doing copyright development, and I'm thinking of investing in animation and stuff like that. We need to have our own Donald Duck too."
"Yes, that's so true." Song Qingyuan was very supportive, chatting enthusiastically with Wang Yan as if he were the reporter conducting the interview.
Not to mention Qiao Yicheng, even the editor-in-chief who came with them couldn't talk as well as him.
The meal was a pleasant one for both the host and guests, and the film crew then drove away.
With a cigarette dangling from his lips and his eyes glazed with drunkenness, Song Qingyuan said, "Comrade Qiao Yicheng, you've really kept this a secret. I never imagined that Boss Wang was actually your brother-in-law."
"Does it matter?"
"You're overthinking things. You don't even need Boss Wang to do anything for you. Just let everyone in our station know that Wang Yan is your brother-in-law, and your future will be bright, understand? The simplest thing is, you'll definitely be among the top performers and award recipients every year. Right, guys?"
"That's for sure." The others in the car laughed. "Qiao Yicheng is low-key, so let's help him promote himself. If Boss Wang is happy, he might sponsor an ad for our station, and we can get a share of the profits."
Qiao Yicheng shook his head with amusement: "He's not as amazing as you guys make him out to be. He just sells duck products; it has nothing to do with our system."
Song Qingyuan was taken aback for a moment: "It seems you don't know your brother-in-law very well."
"What do you mean?"
Do you know what he's doing now?
"Selling duck products, what else could he do? Oh, wait, he's in college, what else could he do?"
"That's amazing!" Song Qingyuan clapped his hands. "He's dealing with Big Brother's supplies. I heard he has connections everywhere over there, basically getting everything done with ease. He's incredibly powerful. Apparently, he even guided us here. I don't know the specifics, but anyway, he can get his hands on tanks and artillery..."
"Huh?" Ichisei's eyes widened, then he realized, "So that's why he's always on business trips, he's been abroad."
In fact, since the Lunar New Year, Wang Yan had once again begun his close communication with his elder brother. He was very familiar with this matter, and given the times, he had to go no matter what.
Whether it's talent or equipment, everything he brings over will be useful. Even things he doesn't need can be sold off to make money, allowing him to rapidly expand his business. After all, it's tapping into the wealth of the Big Brother's country; enriching his company is a piece of cake. The time and effort he invests in this are all quite worthwhile.
In response to Qiao Yicheng's question, Wang Yan gave an affirmative answer: "It's like picking up money. Why not pick it up if it's free? With more funds and some advanced equipment, our company can do better and grow faster."
"Does that mean you have other companies?" Qiao Yicheng's eyes widened.
Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "Brother, you've always been curious about where my money came from before. It came from other companies. At first, I smuggled goods from Hong Kong to sell, then I sold computers, researched semiconductors, and things like that. It did pretty well. I've also been investing in stocks over the years, in Hong Kong and Japan..."
So what Song Qingyuan said isn't wrong. I don't know anyone in your system, but I know the leaders who manage you. So, brother, just say the word if you need anything, and I can usually handle it. Even if we're wrong, as long as we don't go too far, there's room for compromise. Going too far won't do; I can't accept that myself.”
Do I look like someone who's looking for trouble?
"I'm telling you this, brother. Don't cause trouble, but don't be afraid of trouble either. Be confident and strong. If I tell you, you'll feel more confident and calm when things happen. If I don't tell you, you'll be anxious and restless when things happen. It's a two-way mentality."
"So if I didn't find out from Song Qingyuan, you weren't planning to tell me?"
Wang Yan laughed heartily, not embarrassed at all: "Anxiety is a normal part of life, anyway, everything can be resolved. It's good to experience it, that feeling of redemption, you know, right, brother?"
Qiao Yicheng was speechless, then shook his head with a wry smile.
There's no other reason than Wang Yan's incredible talent. How old was he back then? He was already running a company and making a fortune, remotely controlling it, and ensuring the loyalty of others, preventing them from running off with the money.
"Big Brother, Brother Yan, what are you two whispering about?" Si Mei looked at the two suspiciously. "You're here now, why don't you go in and check on the child?"
Yicheng said, "Don't you see how many people are crammed into the room? What are we two doing cramming in? Let's tidy up the vegetables so we can cook later."
Erqiang and Ma Suqin's baby was born, and everyone arranged to come over today to see it and have a get-together. Congratulations to Erqiang! Auntie Er's whole family came, and Qiao Zuwang came too. He'd been scolding Qiao Erqiang the whole way here, but when we arrived, he was all smiles, playing with the baby and refusing to move…
Wang Yan threw away his cigarette: "Brother is right. The child is there and can't run away. He's really hungry if he doesn't eat. Let's get to work."
Erqiang chuckled and leaned closer: "Big Brother."
"Now that you're a father, be more responsible. No matter how busy you are with work, you have to take care of your family..." Yi Cheng rambled on, instructing Er Qiang to take responsibility and not let Ma Suqin down.
This led to another round of laughter, with conversations revolving around marriage, having children, and raising them, as well as reminiscing about what everyone present was like as children.
Ma Suqin didn't come out for dinner, but she was quite happy because she saw her family.
Erqiang was also happy. The thing he had been longing for had finally been settled. He was so happy that he drank himself into a rage, feeling quite pleased with himself...
I want to express my sincere gratitude to all the kind readers who have given me generous support through tips, monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and those who have been reading quietly!
