After being reborn, my sister insisted on marrying me.

Yanjing.

Zhichun East Lane.

In the living room.

When Lin Siyan came out of the second bedroom, her expression was complicated.

She stood in front of the coffee table, holding her phone, and only spoke after her lips moved twice.

"My dad said that there is indeed a distant cousin surnamed Wang who runs a restaurant in Yuhang. His name is Wang Qinzhi, and according to seniority, I should call him my cousin. I met him once during the Spring Festival a couple of years ago. At that time, he mentioned that he was in the catering business, but my dad didn't ask any questions and assumed it was a small restaurant."

She paused, her tone carrying an indescribable undertone, "My dad just said on the phone that this cousin's restaurant is very popular in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with queues stretching out onto the street, and annual revenue of several hundred million yuan."

Jin Shilin finished her potato chips and was about to throw them away when she said, "So what Wei Yi said was true? How come you didn't even know?"

"I only met him a few times when I was a child. And he's a distant relative; we don't usually keep in touch."

Lin Siyan sat back on the single sofa, placed her phone on the coffee table, glanced at Wei Yi, and looked away after less than half a second. "How did you know that I have a distant cousin who owns a restaurant?"

Wei Yi suddenly put down his crossed legs, trying to make his eyes and tone sound sincere, "Sister Siyan, can't you really tell?"

Lin Siyan had never seen him like this before.

In her heart.

Aside from being good-looking, having a great physique, being lucky, and having a little bit of business acumen, this guy...

In other aspects, he's just a complete mess and a lousy man.

This sudden turn of events startled Lin Siyan, who was momentarily taken aback and didn't quite understand. "I can't see what's wrong?"

however.

There happened to be someone nearby who liked this style.

Even if Wei Yi is reborn, she will still be the woman who understands him the most.

Before Wei Yi could even speak, Chen Xinyi's giggling voice rang out, "Siyan, my best friend! I can tell! Can't you tell? My brother likes you!"

Acting like a drama queen, Chen Xinyi looked up to the sky and exclaimed, "Lin Siyan, you're something else! I never thought that I would treat you like a best friend, and you would secretly steal my man!"

The siblings' actions.

Jin Shilin hadn't reacted yet.

I'm still a bit confused.

Lin Siyan, however, had already realized what was happening.

Of course she knew Chen Xinyi was acting; she knew her sister too well.

But she wasn't sure if Wei Yi was acting.

The main thing is that the kid's eyes and tone are too much like that.

"No, I don't dislike him, not at all!" Lin Siyan's face turned from white to red, and she raised her voice, "I like him, I...you know that!"

"Okay, okay, I know." Chen Xinyi knows her too well, even better than she knows herself.

"That means my brother has a crush on you. He likes you, but you don't like him," Chen Xinyi said with a smile as she hugged Lin Siyan.

Jin Shilin: "..."

Sister Jin realized what was happening.

This is the start of another big show.

She quickly reached under the coffee table.

This is bad news.

My favorite potato chips are all gone and I haven't gotten any more.

Fortunately, there were sunflower seeds.

Let's start by eating some sunflower seeds.

Wei Yi couldn't help but scoff inwardly when he saw his older sister easily handle the irritated Sister Lin.

Damn it, what a double standard.

However, he didn't actually fall in love with someone else.

To be honest, he had feelings for the other women.

Even the children who came after him, all of them combined, couldn't match half of what he did for his sister.

This is especially true after being reborn and becoming sensible.

The reason he suddenly treated Lin Siyan this way was simply because he thought it would be fun.

And incidentally, to retaliate against a group of outsiders.

Also, because he was certain that his sister genuinely enjoyed watching him do this.

What's going on?

He was entangled with other women, and his sister loved to watch!

So do you understand now?

It's not that he wants to be a scumbag.

He only did that to please his insatiable sister.

to sum up--

Chen Xinyi, your crimes are heinous!

You have ruined my entire life of innocence, Wei Yi!

"so what."

After being hugged by Chen Xinyi, Lin Siyan, whose agitated state immediately subsided, steered the conversation back on track, her voice returning to its usual calm, "Now that you know about this relationship, what are you planning to do? Are you going to let me contact him, and then we'll start a chain of restaurants too?"

She said this to both Wei Yi and Chen Xinyi at the same time.

Chen Xinyi did not answer immediately.

She hugged Lao Lin, leaned against the sofa armrest, thought for a few seconds, then turned to look at Wei Yi. "Brother, what do you say?"

Wei Yi sat up a little straighter on the sofa.

He rarely showed a serious expression, and his tone was no longer feigned.

"I don't think it's necessary to start my own chain of restaurants for the time being," he said.

Chen Xinyi's eyebrows twitched.

This answer was clearly unexpected.

She thought her brother had analyzed Saizeriya and Green Tea Restaurant's models so thoroughly because he wanted to start a new business.

"Tage just secured funding and plans to cover all universities in the capital by the end of the year. Heytea and Sweet Ice Cream together have over a dozen stores, and they're going to double that next month. Sister Shilin's legs are practically giving out from running around scouting locations, Sister Siyan's eyes are almost blind from managing finances and accounts, and you yourself are teaching during the day, having meetings at night, and visiting stores on weekends. Add another chain restaurant to the mix—are you really planning to work yourself to death?"

Jin Shilin, a bystander eating sunflower seeds, nodded vigorously in agreement.

After nodding, he realized something was off. "Wait a minute, you're making it sound like we did all the work. What did you do?"

"I'm in charge of strategy."

"Your strategy is to just sit on the couch and scroll through your phone?"

"That's part of the strategy. And I'm also in charge of logistics."

"What logistics were you in charge of?"

"Sister Shilin, you're being ungrateful. Every night you and my sister come home exhausted, and I always manage to help you forget your mental fatigue quickly and get a great night's sleep. Isn't that logistics?"

Jin Shilin was speechless.

말을밟는사람!

She almost cursed out her mother tongue.

He was thrilled to be able to switch her and Chen Xinyi back and forth every night.

It was described as helping them with logistical work...

This is hardly logistics work.

Is this some kind of sabotage on them?

They're not called logistics personnel!

She felt that her young husband shouldn't be in business.

That's shameless.

He should go into politics.

"Alright, alright," Chen Xinyi interrupted with a smile, "My brother's strategy is really good. Look, he just casually suggested the direction of a chain restaurant; that's the value of strategy."

"Well, that's true." Jin Shilin sighed and continued eating sunflower seeds.

She was convinced of that.

Chen Xinyi smiled and looked at her younger brother, "Then what do you mean by 'we won't participate ourselves'?"

"Green Tea hasn't expanded beyond the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions yet. Their model is direct operation, which results in slow expansion but high profit per store and a good reputation. This model has a characteristic: once you leave the Jiangsu and Zhejiang network, you need local resources in unfamiliar markets."

Wei Yi began, "We have connections in business districts, university channels, and operational experience with young customers in the capital, which perfectly fills the gap they're missing. We'll contact Mr. Wang and ask if we can take a stake, cooperate to open up the capital market, or directly obtain the exclusive distribution rights for Green Tea in the capital. We won't need to build our own team and supply chain from scratch. By leveraging their brand and system, we'll provide local resources and operational capabilities, allowing us to enter the chain restaurant market with a light asset approach."

He paused, then turned to look at Lin Siyan. "It's most suitable for Sister Siyan to handle this. Firstly, we're related; secondly, she's from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so there's no cultural barrier between her and the Green Tea team; and thirdly, she's managed the finances for so long, so she can provide solid data during negotiations."

After listening, Chen Xinyi's smile deepened in her peach blossom eyes.

"I thought you were going to add more burdens to your sister again. You used to say that you were the one who suggested tea drinks and shared bikes. You were analyzing Saizeriya and Green Tea so enthusiastically just now, I thought you were going to say, 'Sis, let's open a restaurant.'"

Wei Yi looked at her, his tone suddenly softening, "How could I bear to?"

Chen Xinyi was stunned for a moment.

"I told you not to overwork yourself. Last time you got a chafing sore and went to the doctor, Siyan scolded me when she came back. I lay in my dorm at school for a few days, thinking about it for a long time. Sis, you always want to do everything to the best of your ability, and you always want to do everything yourself. I'm giving you directions to help you, not to make you break down."

The living room was quiet for about three seconds.

Chen Xinyi lowered her head and flipped through the floor plan on the coffee table over and over again, remaining silent for a long while.

When she looked up again, her peach blossom eyes were sparkling, whether from the light reflection or something else, it was hard to tell.

Jin Shilin coughed beside her. "Well, although what you said was quite touching, I have to point out a fact. You felt sorry for your sister and told her not to overwork, but she turned around and assigned the work to me and Siyan. Last time Heytea opened, I stood in Sanlitun all day, and my legs were practically numb. Your 'Sister, don't overwork yourself' was just another way of saying 'Shilin, you do more work.'"

Lin Siyan rarely chimed in. "My dark circles haven't gone away since last month."

Wei Yi raised his hands. "I'll treat you to milk tea. Heytea, all you can eat."

"That's our shop!"

Chen Xinyi laughed out loud and folded the messy floor plan on the coffee table back up and put it aside.

"Okay, we'll do it your way with the chain restaurant. Siyan, contact President Wang later and sound him out first. Don't rush into negotiating terms; first, find out about their expansion plans and willingness to cooperate with others."

"Um."

Lin Siyan, who was still aggressive just a second ago.

She said softly, "I will."
