Chapter 1632 Distortion
After the New Year, life returned to normal for the Qiao family.

Of course, everyone understands that it wasn't the Lunar New Year that brought peace to the Qiao family, but rather Qiao Yicheng's divorce from Ye Xiaolang.

With no one causing trouble, things naturally became peaceful. Everyone had fewer worries, life became harmonious, and everything returned to normal...

That was only on the surface; in reality, Qiao Yicheng, the person involved, still couldn't let go. Even after the New Year, Qi Weimin, Song Qingyuan, and Wang Yan all helped introduce him to some girls, but Yicheng had already closed his heart and locked himself away, so nothing came of it.

In May, Qi Weimin and Chang Xingyu held a wedding banquet at Hongyun Restaurant, becoming a family. They lived in the apartment Qi Weimin had been allocated by his work unit.

Qi Weimin used to live in his work unit's dormitory because he was essentially homeless.

My second aunt remarried and moved in with the old man; Qiqi went with her. Qi Weiyi stayed at the old house; he's married and has a family; his child was born last year. Qi Xiaoya is married and doesn't need any care. Only Qi Weimin is superfluous; he has nowhere to go.

The timing of the marriage was tied to the allocation of housing, and Qi Weimin had already applied for housing allocation after getting married. But obviously, with so many people waiting for housing, it was impossible for someone like him, who had only been there for less than two years, to be allocated housing first.

Wang Yan helped out again, and like Qiao Yicheng, they were allocated a small one-bedroom apartment to live in first, with adjustments to be made later if needed...

Although it was unfair, and Qi Weimin knew that there was never any fairness, compared to Wang Yan wanting him to give him an apartment, he felt that asking Wang Yan to help him get an apartment from his workplace wasn't so unacceptable...

In August, Wang Yan and Sanli finally got married, also at their own Hongyun Restaurant, with a very grand ceremony.

The guests included relatives and friends of the Qiao and Qi families, senior executives from Wang Yankai's various companies, employee representatives, upstream and downstream partners, and government leaders from relevant departments. The reception was quite impressive.

To Erqiang's surprise, he actually saw Ushino here.

Niu Ye was a local thug who could get his hands on any new or interesting things. He later started a business, which became increasingly successful, and now he's in the import and export trade.

"Brother Niu, I didn't expect you to come too."

Niu Ye is the guy from the original drama who ran a clothing store and got arrested. He's thin, and the oversized suit that was popular in this era covers him up: "How could I not come to such a big event as President Wang's wedding? Over the years, I've gotten to where I am today all thanks to President Wang's support. Otherwise, I don't know where I'd be struggling right now."

"President Wang is giving you a hand?" Erqiang asked, puzzled. "I haven't heard anything about any collaboration between you two."

“My company belongs to Boss Wang, didn’t you know?” Niu Ye suddenly realized. “It’s normal that you don’t know. Look, I haven’t visited your house for New Year’s greetings all these years. Boss Wang told me to keep a low profile, so I haven’t been ostentatious at home. Over the years, not many people know that I have dinner with Boss Wang.”

"Did you help Wang Yan buy all those cameras before?"

"I bought the camera now too. When foreign camera brands release new cameras, I buy them and send them to Mr. Wang."

Since he made money in Shenzhen under Wang Yan's instructions and then started developing his business in Hong Kong, Wang Yan asked him to help buy a camera. After that, he kept a close eye on various camera brands and bought new ones whenever they became available. Now that he's in a higher position, he still makes sure people are paying attention to this aspect, keeping it in mind constantly.

Erqiang suddenly realized that Wang Yan had already founded a company, and the person working for him was Niu Ye, whom he used to admire. He also realized that Niu Ye was responsible for Wang Yan's seemingly endless wealth back then.

“I was saying that ever since you met Wang Yan, you’ve spent less time at home and are always out dealing in goods.” Erqiang patted Niu Ye’s arm. “You’ve kept it well hidden; I didn’t even know until all these years ago.”

“It can’t be left loose, you know how Mr. Wang is. He won’t let me talk about it, he won’t let me deliver things to your house, how could I dare to go?” Niu Ye looked alarmed.

Seeing his reaction, Erqiang asked in surprise, "Is there something else?"

"What other things? When Mr. Wang was thirteen, he took on more than a dozen people by himself, breaking their bones and tendons. Isn't that enough?"

“I have a feeling something’s wrong; it’s clearly even scarier than that.”

Niu Ye smiled, lit a cigarette for Er Qiang, changed the subject, and didn't say anything more about it.

After all, it involves all aspects, both legal and illegal, civil and military. Watching Wang Yan toasting with Sanli in the distance, Niu Ye couldn't help but shudder; it was a fear that had seeped into his very bones…

Wang Yan started by toasting the leaders at their table. Some were top executives, some were deputies, and some were secretaries, making up two tables of people. However, these people were just there for a brief appearance and had no other business. Many came, had a drink, and left without even eating a few bites of food.

Soon, Wang Yan went from table to table offering toasts, and soon arrived at this table.

"Mr. Wang, congratulations on your marriage, may you live a long and happy life together." Niu Ye downed a glass of wine in one gulp.

"Look at you, just take a sip to make a gesture."

"If I weren't afraid of making a fool of myself, I would have liked to drink a bottle myself," Niu Ye declared loyally.

"It's one thing for me to mentor you, but it's also another thing for you to work hard. Do a good job and create even greater and better achievements."

Wang Yan took a sip of wine and led Sanli to a table next to them.

"Brother Yan, Sister, congratulations on your marriage! Cheers!" Si Mei stood there with her glass in hand, and before Wang Yan and San Li could say anything more, she tilted her head back and downed the glass in one gulp.

Si Mei is already twenty-one years old. In this day and age, when doing business, it's inevitable to have to drink a little at dinner parties. Si Mei's alcohol tolerance isn't great, but she can still drink a bit.

"Simei, why are you drinking so fast?" Sanli quickly patted Simei's back.

"I'm happy." Si Mei wiped her mouth and proudly showed the bottom of her glass. "After all these years, I've watched you two come together, and you've finally achieved your goal. I'm so happy."

"Even if you're happy, you can't drink like that." Second Aunt gave Si Mei a light pat on the shoulder. "This girl already had a glass by herself. Why did you drink so much?"

"Everyone's happy, so drink if you want, just don't get drunk and cause trouble. Drink within your limits." Wang Yan said with a smile, then turned to his second aunt and said, "Come on, second aunt, Aunt Wu... I'd like to toast you both. You've all watched us grow up."

"Now that you mention it, it reminds me of the past, when you first came to the Qiao family's house..." Aunt Wu said, wiping away tears, deeply moved.

Wang Yan laughed heartily and downed a glass of baijiu in one gulp. Time always brings both joy and sorrow; some are happy, some are sad, and it's rare for these two things to happen to one person at the same time.

Before we knew it, eleven years had passed...

After a busy day, the Qiao family, along with Qi Weimin and Chang Xingyu, had dinner at Wang Yan's house that evening, reminiscing about the past eleven years.

"Nobody expected that so many years would pass in the blink of an eye, and everyone would be married." Qi Weimin laughed. "I still remember when I brought Qiqi here to have you treat her cold and fever."

"Huh? Wang Yan can also cure diseases?" Chang Xingyu looked around in surprise, as if he had discovered a new continent.

"More than that, Wang Yan knows a lot more." Ma Suqin laughed.

Yi Cheng chimed in, "Not to mention photography and cooking, I know he can do calligraphy, painting, carving, woodworking..." He rattled off a whole bunch of things that Wang Yan had demonstrated and applied in his daily life.

Erqiang said with a smile, "When my second son was a month old, he even gave me a jade pendant, which he carved himself. Come on, second son, take out your jade pendant and let Uncle Qiao take a look."

The child who was eating heartily with his head down looked up, took off the jade pendant hanging around his neck, and showed it to Qi Weimin and his wife. The two of them naturally praised it highly.

It's hard to say whether their interactions stemmed from work or from a habitual way of catering to Wang Yan's unique presence. But that's irrelevant, because few people can be completely relaxed, comfortable, and equal with Wang Yan. Even among ordinary friends, there's often a hierarchy of authority.

After a few jokes, he sighed and said, "Now it's just Si Mei and Qi Qi left. I'm not worried about Qi Qi, but I'm worried about Si Mei..."

"It's difficult." Erqiang couldn't help but shake his head.

Qi Weimin and his wife said in unison, "It's going to be very difficult."

This is indeed the current situation of the four beauties. Finding a home for them is not an easy task.

Because Si Mei is currently the deputy general manager of Jue Wei's headquarters and the general manager of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai region. She is a person of importance and the people she comes into contact with are all at a certain level. Si Mei is only twenty-one years old.

Even though this is the prime of youth for many people to make their fortunes, and they are still quite young, those who reach the same level as the Four Beauties are generally in their thirties or forties. Some have been married several times, and some openly keep countless mistresses. These people are clearly not a good match for the Four Beauties.

But at the same time, Si Mei had already reached that point, and her perspective had broadened. People her own age were no different from children in her eyes; they simply couldn't connect with her.

"Wang Yan, don't you have a suitable person?" Yi Cheng couldn't help but look at Wang Yan.

Wang Yan smiled and shook his head: "Brother Yicheng, honestly, if you were one of the Four Beauties, who would you be interested in?"

And so Ichisei sighed again...

Qi Weimin sighed, "You're still worried about Si Mei? No matter what, Si Mei is young, she has plenty of time in the future. You're already thirty, what, are you really planning to stay single for the rest of your life after one divorce?"

"No."

"Not yet? I've introduced you to so many people, and you haven't liked a single one? I really suspect that I've introduced you to every suitable girl in Jinling. You guys don't know, once I introduced someone to Yicheng, and the person said they had already gone on a blind date with Yicheng."

Qi Weimin spoke with a sigh, explaining that he had gone through several intermediaries to introduce Qiao Yicheng, and after many twists and turns, he finally got this result. He was both amused and exasperated when he learned that he had already met Qiao Yicheng.

After everyone finished laughing and joking, he said, "A new deputy director has been transferred to our unit. She's young and beautiful, and her family members are also government officials. I'll find out more about her later and introduce her to you."

"Young, beautiful, and well-connected, she must be a few years younger than me, right? Why would she be interested in someone who's divorced?" Yi Cheng shook his head. "Don't make up stories. She's your boss. If you mess things up and something goes wrong, how will you face the world afterward?"

Qi Weimin smiled and shook his head: "You still don't have a clear understanding of your own situation. What conditions you have isn't important; what matters is whether you like the person. Didn't you notice that all the girls introduced to you later came from well-off families? Just don't let another woman come along who's as shallow as Ye Xiaolang and disrupts family harmony."

"Tsk, it's a joyous occasion, let's not talk about unhappy things." Chang Xingyu patted Qi Weimin on the shoulder.

Yi Cheng said with a smile, "It's all in the past. I'm not afraid to talk about it. I know you guys were quite upset about what you saw before. Just say it, it's no big deal."

"Look at him, isn't his reflection quite good?"

Everyone laughed and wished Wang Yan and Sanli a happy marriage...

Inside the room, on the bed, the drunken Si Mei lay there. She should have been fast asleep, but instead, she stared blankly at the ceiling, listening to the commotion outside.

As the saying goes, "If you never know the king's words, even if you meet a hero, it will be in vain."

One reason is that the Four Beauties reached such a position at a very young age. Another reason is that everyone has noticed but hasn't said anything: there is an even more outstanding Wang Yan there.

Ever since she met Wang Yan, Si Mei had been going there every few days to freeload. Later, after Wang Yan joined the Qiao family, he spent even more money on Si Mei. Then Si Mei dropped out of school, and Wang Yan started working as a male prostitute, mentoring her and helping her grow and improve, leading her to where she is today. She's only twenty-one, and Wang Yan, who caused all this, is only twenty-three.

With such a shining example before her, Si Mei naturally couldn't look at others normally. Even when doing business or negotiating cooperation, she had a strong sense of superiority over others, let alone when it came to dating.

And everyone's not stupid. After spending so much time together, the four women's thoughts couldn't be kept secret, but no one talked about them. Even Sanli didn't know how to bring it up, and Yicheng was in the same boat. This wasn't something that could be easily spoken of.

Of course, the most crucial point is that since things haven't developed to a certain extent yet and nothing has happened, people are selectively ignoring it. Even Sanli is like that.

The main reason is that Wang Yan is very discreet; he doesn't keep any mistresses or anything like that, and he always keeps his distance from the four beauties. Even Sanli herself wouldn't be confident in Wang Yan's behavior, let alone others.

After all, in an era of frantic pursuit of profit, these kinds of things are commonplace. Everyone has heard countless stories of mistresses keeping mistresses and abandoning wives, as well as various crimes of passion. Moreover, Erqiang and his men know even more about these matters, and many of their subordinates even have promiscuous relationships.

So, if Wang Yan were to act recklessly, it would seem understandable. Furthermore, compared to his relationships with others outside and the Four Beauties, things don't seem so bad after all…
