After being reborn, my sister insisted on marrying me.

Chapter 124: He's just a freeloader

A few days after the family dinner.

A minor incident occurred in our small family.

Chen Xinyi bought the two-bedroom apartment in Zhichun East Lane.

The landlord originally didn't want to sell.

Unfortunately, Chen Xinyi added a 15% premium.

They also asked Liu Yang's aunt to help check the property rights of the house.

After confirming that there were no mortgages or disputes, all the procedures were completed within three days.

On the day she received the property certificate, Chen Xinyi twirled the keychain twice on her fingertips.

"This house may be small, but it's our first home. Anyone who has classes at Renmin University or the Southwest Associated University can come here to rest at noon if they don't want to travel back and forth. The combination lock still has the same password: 19951220."

So, Zhichun East Lane 1203 was just a rented room.

It became the smallest, oldest, and least valuable of the many fixed assets under Weichen Holdings.

But it is also the only set that Chen Xinyi specified "never to be sold".

It's getting colder and colder in Yanjing.

A thin layer of ice had formed on the lake in Chaoyang Park, and the withered branches of the willow trees trembled in the cold wind.

Wei Yi leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window of the master bedroom on the second floor of Palm Springs, holding a cup of hot milk tea in his hand, staring blankly at the gray sky outside the window.

He has just figured something out.

About Wang Xueli.

He didn't have a deep impression of Senior Wang in his past life.

Aside from being exceptionally well-behaved in bed.

All I know is that she is Chen Xinyi's senior at Renmin University, wears black-rimmed glasses, speaks in a low voice, and has ridiculously strong professional skills.

He is the most capable partner in commercial litigation at a major law firm.

She is introverted and pretty, but not exceptionally so.

In his past life, he asked his sister why she wouldn't let Wang Xuejie go either.

Chen Xinyi's answer at the time was very straightforward: "Shirley is capable, has good character, and is trustworthy. Do you think just anyone around me could sleep with you?"

Then she added, "And she won't talk about feelings with you. If she doesn't talk about feelings, things won't get messy."

In his previous life, Wei Yi hadn't given these words much thought.

His biggest worry every day back then.

It's just that neighborhood disputes are difficult to resolve.

After all, it's a street office in the capital.

Even if it's a neighborhood dispute, it's often just someone accidentally wandering into someone else's home.

In other aspects, he basically accepted whatever his sister arranged for him.

No need to use your brain or your heart.

As long as it's enjoyable.

He thought about it a lot in his life and finally understood.

Wang Xueli was the legal advisor her sister had prepared for their small family.

Their family's complicated relationships in their past life were legally permissible.

It was all thanks to Chen Xinyi's carefully designed nominee shareholding agreement, trust structure, and her shady maneuvering of repeated marriages and divorces.

These things are only possible because of his sister's own legal expertise.

There must be someone else behind the scenes who is equally knowledgeable in law and absolutely trustworthy, helping with the design, review, and safeguarding.

That person is Wang Xueli.

Wang Xueli knew all their family secrets.

I participated in the design of all legal structures and handled every nominee shareholding agreement and equity arrangement.

She knows too much.

Therefore, Chen Xinyi had to make her "one of their own".

The way it was in my past life.

He wanted to have physical relations with her several times, and it was even possible that her child would be his.

It can be considered a pledge of allegiance.

But that's where it ends.

Wang Xueli has never officially joined this family.

They never moved in or lived there, and never participated in family decisions.

She was always an outsider, remaining outside the core circle of her small family.

the reason is simple.

In his past life, aside from his face and physique...

There is no capital that could make a normal, elite woman like Wang Xueli willingly join.

His sister was well aware of this, so she only arranged the bare minimum of binding.

That's enough.

This life is different now.

In his life, he worked on Tage, Xinyi, and Guoxinping.

Even without considering Bitcoin, his net worth is now several hundred million.

Not to mention he also hooked up with Sister Wu and Sister Bing.

Don't get me wrong, his relationship with Sister Bing is very innocent.

But it can be included on the list.

After all, she's the future mother-in-law.

In his sister's eyes...

It was no longer just a beloved treasure that she needed to protect.

Rather, it is an axis that deserves more and better women to join.

So, in this lifetime, my timeline with Senior Wang has been moved forward.

Even the meaning of it may have changed.

Therefore, at the family dinner, Wang Xueli was seated to his right.

Everything now has an explanation.

Wei Yi leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a cup of hot milk tea, and looked at the sparse traffic below.

He suddenly realized that the biggest difference between his life and his previous life was...

It wasn't about how much money he made or how many projects he ran, but rather how his sister's treatment of him had changed.

In my past life, it was like, "This is good, but it's a bit hard to hold onto, so I'll just let my brother have some fun and that's it."

This life has become about "This is great, let's take it home for my brother to play with..."

He lowered his head and took a sip of milk tea.

Then he remembered Wang Xueli's appearance in court, and then he remembered her awkwardness in bed in his previous life, when she was so nervous that she didn't know where to put her hands.

He suddenly felt that it might be a good thing if Senior Wang really got in.

At least we won't have to outsource our legal matters at home anymore.

And his sister is right, even the most delicious food can get boring.

Although Wang Xueli isn't considered exceptionally beautiful, her intellectual and academic aura is quite refreshing, and occasionally a bite of her food can be quite soothing.

He finished his milk tea, threw it in the trash can, and stretched.

Fine, anyway, he never has to worry about the things his sister arranges.

He just needs to continue being a hands-off manager, occasionally lending a hand at crucial moments.

It just feels like in this life, his sister needs his help even more often.

Mid-November.

The weather in Yanjing (Beijing) has started to get so cold that water freezes instantly.

TAGE Technology's blue and white bicycles stand out even more amidst wave after wave of cold snaps.

The girls riding bikes on campus had already put on thick scarves and fleece-lined gloves, and their fingers were red from the cold when they scanned the QR code to unlock their bikes.

Sulei presented a set of data at the internal morning meeting on Monday.

Tage currently covers the vast majority of universities in the capital.

The number of registered users has exceeded 1.6 million, covering almost the entire university student population in Beijing.

The average number of rides per day has remained stable at over 230,000.

Outside of Peking University, which is ofo's private domain.

Tage has completely overwhelmed its opponent, and the size gap between the two sides has widened to nearly tenfold.

A round of enthusiastic applause filled the conference room.

Sulei didn't clap along; she simply placed the laser pointer on the table.

Looking at Wei Yi and Chen Xinyi sitting in the main seats.

Her tone was unusually calm.

"The data is good data, but I'm not here to announce good news today."

She pressed a button on the remote, and the screen switched to another table.

There is a row of numbers above.

"In the past two weeks, the abnormal wear and tear rate of our vehicles at the four campuses of Renmin University, Tsinghua University, Beihang University, and Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications has suddenly surged. The normal wear and tear rate should be between three and five percent, but the data from all four campuses has exceeded twelve percent. Renmin University is the most severely affected, approaching twenty percent."

"What's the reason?" Chen Xinyi put down her coffee cup.

"Man-made." Sulei switched the screen to the next photo.

The photo shows a close-up of a TAGE bicycle. The QR code has been splashed with paint, the smart lock casing is cracked, and the chain is broken in two and hanging on the gears.

In the next picture, more than a dozen TAGE bicycles were locked with an extra-thick chain lock and all thrown in a corner.

The next one was even more outrageous.

A Tago bicycle was pushed directly into the lotus pond, with only half of the wheel sticking out of the ice.

The atmosphere in the meeting room instantly turned cold.

"This is just what our patrol team found. Many more bikes were ridden off campus and abandoned on the roadside or simply disappeared."

Sulei took a deep breath, her voice laced with suppressed anger. "In the past two weeks, we've lost nearly a thousand bikes, and about the same number need parts replaced. Some of these were maliciously hidden, and some were part of organized vandalism. We caught a few users suspected of maliciously hiding bikes, and after questioning them, people from outside the university quickly came and paid for their losses. They didn't say a word, paid, and left."

"Someone from outside the school?"

Chen Xinyi's voice rose slightly, and a sharp glint appeared in her peach-colored eyes that Wei Yi was most familiar with.

"Based on the evidence we have, it is very likely that ofo is involved."

Sulei turned to the last page of the report.

"Of course, they didn't leave any direct written evidence. We're not the police, and we have no right to continue detaining and interrogating them even if they're willing to pay compensation."

"And even if you call the police, it's very difficult to investigate cases like car theft, concealment, and damage."

"However, unlike us, ofo hasn't raised any funds yet; Dai Wei's family has only put in a few million yuan. They were fine for the first few months, but as they faced competition from us, they started to hold on, but I don't think they can last more than a few months."

At this point, she looked at Wei Yi and Chen Xinyi, her tone sincere:

"I wonder if we can hold out for now. We can only last another semester at most, and then they'll have to fend for themselves. Making them admit defeat now might come at a high price."

Chen Xinyi did not answer immediately.

She leaned back in her chair, her finger unconsciously tracing a circle on the rim of her coffee cup, before turning to look at Wei Yi.

"Brother, what do you think?"

Wei Yi leaned back in his chair, his gaze shifting from the photo of the bicycle sinking in the pond on the screen to the hazy sky outside the conference room window.

After a moment, he spoke.

"Whether it was organized or unorganized, whether it was done by ofo or someone else, none of that matters."

"The important thing is that when users are using our cars, the car isn't there. Or the car is there, but it's broken. Users won't care who did it; they just know that the TAG car isn't working properly."

"I can tolerate it once or twice, but if it happens three or four times, I'll switch to another company. I don't know if ofo will go bankrupt, but once users' trust is lost, it can't be restored."

He turned back, his voice as lazy as ever, "So don't hold back. Whoever vandalizes my car, I'll kick their car out of the game."

The meeting room fell silent for a moment.

Sulei hesitated for a moment. "But boss, Dai Wei should still have some money in his account. And you know how difficult it is to get evidence of this kind of malicious damage; it's hard to get direct evidence even if you call the police."

"No need for that."

Wei Yi pushed his chair back, stood up, and walked to the window. "Their funds aren't enough to support a full-scale confrontation between universities in the capital. Let's ignore them for now and continue with our own plan. Also, our current fleet of bikes is indeed a bit old and the designs are rather ugly. Let's have them all inventoried and recycled as scrap metal to buy new bikes. As for ofo..."

He turned around, his back to the dim light streaming through the window. "I remember there's a large seminar on the sharing economy in the government the week after next. Mr. Su, could you register me? Chairman Chen, could you ask Sister Zhou to confirm which ministers from the ministries will be attending? I want to tag along for a chat."

Sulei blinked.

The surprise and joy in my heart were greater than anyone else's.

I'm coming!

The "Shenwei Yi" mode, which you might not see even once a month, is here!

This lazy pig is really amazing when he gets serious!

As of now.

This was the fourth time she had encountered the "Shenwei Yi" pattern.

The first time was when I was at driving school, when I dragged her onto the pirate ship that is Tage.

If Sulei hadn't been fooled by his appearance at the time, she wouldn't have boarded the ship.

The two times in between were when she took him to meet her grandfather and a bunch of other big shots in the industry.

The last time, she managed to charm someone as important as her grandfather so much that he was even considering finding a son-in-law for her.

The second time, her grandfather was truly moved.

They even discussed it with her parents and uncles.

It's just that things are changing too fast.

This kid got on Sister Wu's good side before her grandfather made up his mind...

Sulei sighed.

In this life, we were destined to meet but not to be together.

If we're going to be in-laws, then let's be in-laws.

"And..." Wei Yi, sitting in the main seat, revealed a smile that didn't quite catch his appetite as Su Lai was inwardly sighing, "I can also make a call to Sister Wu."

Sulei: "..."

Damn it!

I must have been blind.

This guy is a total gigolo!
