Don't get married if you're reborn.

Chapter 406 Brother-in-law (4K)

After arriving at Ye Yixuan's place, Zeng Wenjie handed her the packed snacks he had brought to go with his drinks.

"Oh, you're quite polite, you even brought your own food?" Ye Yixuan said with a smile.

"We ordered a whole table full of leftovers that were barely touched. Wasting food is shameful!" Zeng Wenjie confessed honestly.

Ye Yixuan didn't take it seriously, took it into the kitchen, plated it, and said, "You're a big boss now, yet you still think wasting money is shameful. Looks like you haven't forgotten your roots!"

Zeng Wenjie said, "There are plenty of rich people in Tiannan, aren't there? They take away their leftovers after eating. What's the big deal for me?"

Ye Yixuan had obviously just returned home today; she was still wearing her business attire and hadn't changed her clothes yet.

Zeng Wenjie suggested that she change into her pajamas so that she wouldn't get drunk and fall asleep immediately.

Ye Yixuan readily accepted the advice. Thinking about how easily she and Zeng Wenjie got drunk when drinking, she took the advice and changed into her pajamas before coming out.

Unexpectedly, Ye Yixuan's pajamas were quite cute. Since her home has underfloor heating, she wore a thin version with a strawberry bear printed on it.

“If I hadn’t heard Brother Ye cursing you today, I wouldn’t have known you were married!” Zeng Wenjie said.

“What you said last time reminded me that I am fully capable of overturning the table, rather than compromising by following orders. So, I will make this decision myself!” Ye Yixuan said.

Zeng Wenjie then said, "I can already imagine how angry Uncle will be."

Ye Yixuan was in a good mood and smiled, "It's alright. The other party is an associate chief physician with a high social status, so it's not enough to make him furious. However, he is really angry because I didn't follow his instructions."

Zeng Wenjie thought that Ye Yixuan was probably a well-behaved girl with strict family discipline since childhood, so why was she in a good mood after doing such a rebellious thing? She must be enjoying the taste of rebellion!
"Come on, come on, congratulations on your marriage!" Zeng Wenjie said, raising his glass.

"Where's the red envelope?" Ye Yixuan asked, glancing sideways.

Zeng Wenjie said, "I didn't prepare anything today, but I'll definitely bring it for you next time."

Ye Yixuan scoffed and said, "Forget it, I didn't host a banquet, and you didn't really want to send a gift, so forget it!"

Zeng Wenjie said, "Once you find someone you really like, I'll definitely give you the biggest red envelope, okay?"

Ye Yixuan gave this witty fellow a reproachful look. He only dared to talk nonsense in front of her because he was young. If he were her age, he would not dare to joke with her like this.
After the two shared a drink, Ye Yixuan let out a satisfied sigh.

Zeng Wenjie guessed that this mature woman probably had a serious drinking problem, but she had been able to restrain herself because of her work.

"Speaking of which, you just got married, and I'm already coming to your house to drink with you. If your brother-in-law sees this, he'll probably chop me up, won't he?" Zeng Wenjie tentatively probed, sounding a bit timid.

"He won't cut you, he might stab you," Ye Yixuan teased.

"Holy crap, he's gay?!" Zeng Wenjie was taken aback when he heard this.

Ye Yixuan hadn't expected Zeng Wenjie to be such a good driver. Instead of thinking about stabbing him with a knife, she thought about using a stick instead!
Surprised, Zeng Wenjie also felt a sense of relief.

Gay men are great. No matter how beautiful Ye Yixuan is, a gay man won't be moved by her.

Huh?
Why would you have such a strange idea!

Seeing Ye Yixuan remain silent, Zeng Wenjie cautiously asked, "You're not really gay, are you?"

Ye Yixuan calmly said, "How can you be so disrespectful? Can't you just call me a homosexual?"

Zeng Wenjie trembled all over and said, "You know, I listen to Eminem's rap. He hates homosexuals the most, and listening to his songs a lot will influence me. Besides, I can't help but break out in a cold sweat and shiver when I think about fencing..."

It is well known that light exercise attracts the opposite sex, while heavy exercise attracts the same sex.

In his previous life, Zeng Wenjie trained his arms to a full 45cm in circumference, making them dark and thick, in order to sell products to attract customers. Of course, this would attract some gay men.

So, the thought of gay men is a bit scary to him.

"fencing?"

Upon hearing this niche term, Ye Yixuan was stunned for a moment before she finally understood what it meant.

She was both amused and exasperated, covering her forehead, wanting to explode but unable to. It was a perfectly normal word, but this kid completely twisted it!
I must say, the term "fencing" is a very apt and abstract choice!

Previously, Zeng Wenjie didn't want his brother-in-law to see him drinking with Sister Xuan; now, he doesn't want his brother-in-law to see him drinking with Sister Xuan.

It would be hilarious if he cheated on Ye Yixuan...

“No wonder Brother Ye said the brother-in-law you found for him looks effeminate, haha. So that’s why. Could he be from Tianfu City in Xishu?” Zeng Wenjie shook his head and sighed.

“He’s from Chongshan, and his family has some connections. He was also struggling with marriage, and we hit it off pretty quickly,” Ye Yixuan said calmly.

Zeng Wenjie snapped out of his daze and said, "If you're gay, then I can come and drink with you without worry."

Ye Yixuan said, "Aren't you having malaria?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "He's a sissy, he's definitely a zero, not a one!"

These words left Ye Yixuan stunned for a long time. The joke was ahead of its time, and even for someone as intelligent as her, it was really hard to understand.

After a moment of confusion, she finally understood what it meant and couldn't help but roll her eyes wildly.

Zeng Wenjie really wanted to suggest that she stick out her tongue, but he had to follow his heart and held back.

"You spend all your time researching these things, huh? You're quite creative!" Ye Yixuan sneered.

"I'm a little curious, how do you get along with him? Are you like sisters?" Zeng Wenjie asked.

Ye Yixuan's lips twitched, and she said, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask, or I'll slap you!"

Zeng Wenjie, however, continued, "It's hard to imagine that an associate chief physician is so imposing in front of his subordinates, but so obsequious in front of other round-faced, white-socked, bearded men."

Ye Yixuan frowned and asked, "You've even met her boyfriend?"

"..."

Zeng Wenjie wanted to complain that this is exactly what the Florida Tianfu in China is like.
“I haven’t seen it, but I know the general profile of this type of person, it’s probably something like this,” Zeng Wenjie said, shaking his head.

"So, you're relieved now?" Ye Yixuan asked.

"What's there to be worried about?" Zeng Wenjie retorted.

Ye Yixuan said, "So, you're relieved to hear that the husband I found is gay... ugh! Homosexual?"

Zeng Wenjie feigned ignorance and said, "Yes, after hearing this news, I felt that I could come to Sister Xuan for drinks without worrying about any misunderstandings!" Ye Yixuan looked at him with a cold expression, and after a moment, she smiled.

She felt that Zeng Wenjie might have ulterior motives, but she wasn't sure. Moreover, she had always treated this kid like Ye Qiansheng's foolish younger brother and had taken good care of him.

But ever since this guy quietly won over Zeng Mi, she realized that she couldn't judge him by the standards of a twenty-year-old boy.

"Sister Xuan, this is a brilliant move. It solves the problem that the organization is worried about you not getting married, and you don't have to worry about being bound by traditional marriage. It also prevents your elders from interfering with your life."

"A triple win!"

"Sister Xuan truly lives up to her reputation as the most intelligent and extraordinary woman I know. She is indeed highly skilled and daring. I admire her greatly!"

Zeng Wenjie started showering Ye Yixuan with compliments to quickly move on from the topic, then raised his glass to drink with her.

Ye Yixuan took a sip with a relaxed mood and said, "Do you have any specific plans for replicating 'Village BA' that you mentioned to me last time? Once I'm released, I will definitely cooperate with Mr. Zhuang's general direction and vigorously promote the development of the tourism industry."

Zeng Wenjie said, "Football and basketball are the sports with the largest audiences in the world. Since the success of 'Village BA' is so close, why don't we have a 'Village Super League'? Besides, Guzhou County, like Taixiang, has a bit of a football culture."

Ye Yixuan murmured, "Is it really feasible?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "Don't worry, it's absolutely feasible. I guarantee it with my brain! If it doesn't work, you can crack my head open."

Ye Yixuan smiled and said, "It's because your brain is so sharp that I've been tempted to open it and see what's inside several times."

Zeng Wenjie laughed and said, "I'll have my gay brother-in-law get me an MRI tomorrow, and then I'll bring the images back for you to see. Why go through all this trouble?"

"..."

Ye Yixuan was caught between anger and laughter by his words, so she could only raise her glass and say, "Enough with the nonsense, you're punished by drinking!"

Zeng Wenjie and Ye Yixuan lightly clinked their glasses and drank them down in one gulp.

Ye Yixuan cautioned, "Don't tell anyone about this. I wasn't even planning to tell you, but I didn't expect you to be so lewd and understand so quickly."

Zeng Wenjie also knew that if this matter got out, Ye Ling would be extremely embarrassed and probably furious!
And this gay brother-in-law also has some family background, and his family certainly doesn't want outsiders to know about this!
“Then, the planning of ‘Village Super’ will have to rely on you, little brother,” Ye Yixuan said with a smile.

"Sister Xuan, if you ask me to do something, shouldn't you offer me a toast?" Zeng Wenjie said arrogantly, glancing sideways at me.

Ye Yixuan knew he was joking, so she downed the drink.

Zeng Wenjie then said, "Then I'll toast you, Sister Xuan, and ask you to do me a favor."

Ye Yixuan was both amused and exasperated, and raised her fist to threaten him.

Zeng Wenjie remembered that she was a black belt in Taekwondo. Although he thought that this martial art was just fancy footwork, he still chose to back down when he thought of the foot that had been pressed against his face last time.

“I need to recruit some people with management experience right now, and I hope you can help me make some recommendations. After all, you have a special position and can come into contact with many such people,” Zeng Wenjie said.

There are actually quite a few talented people who choose to retire due to frustration in their official careers, and he mostly targets these kinds of people.

Ye Yixuan nodded, thinking it was a small matter. Recruiting talent was something she could handle with just a few phone calls; it wouldn't take any effort at all.

Moreover, after being transferred to Guzhou County, her status and position would allow her to discover even more talented individuals, who could be readily provided to Zeng Wenjie.

"Alright, I'll keep an eye out for you and recommend suitable candidates. As for whether you can keep them, that depends on your abilities," Ye Yixuan said calmly.

“I’ll add more money, I don’t believe I can’t keep them,” Zeng Wenjie said, pursing his lips.

Ye Yixuan was taken aback, then sighed helplessly. That was indeed the truth; she had forgotten that this bastard was quite wealthy now!
The gold shop, in particular, is a cash cow, with daily revenue reaching up to one million.

Moreover, the profit margin is quite high. The profit margin for ordinary models is only about 15% to 30%, but the profit margin for Palace Museum models is several times the cost price.

Positioning yourself in the accessible luxury market has this advantage: people who pay a premium don't feel cheated; instead, they feel they have good taste and are enjoying a designer brand.

"You've helped me a lot this time, so I've prepared a gift for you," Ye Yixuan said.

As she spoke, she bent down and pulled open the drawer under the coffee table, taking out a small package box with Gucci printed on it.

Thankfully it's not LV; Zeng Wenjie doesn't want to be called "Zeng the Belt" one day.

"Wow, Gucci! Sister Xuan has great taste, thank you!" Zeng Wenjie said.

"I can't afford anything too expensive, so please don't look down on it." Ye Yixuan said casually, clearly just a polite remark.

This belt isn't cheap; it's almost as much as Ye Yixuan's monthly salary!

Zeng Wenjie pulled out his belt right in front of Ye Yixuan and tried it on.

It seems to have been pre-cut when I bought it, so the position of the buckle is just right, not too short or too long.

After taking a look, Ye Yixuan's eyes showed satisfaction.

Zeng Wenjie patted the logo on his belt and said, "I'm already very happy that Sister Xuan gave me a gift, how could I possibly complain! Even if it's just a rope, I'll wear it on my belt every day and tell everyone that it was a gift from Sister Xuan!"

Ye Yixuan said with a half-smile, "No wonder you can win Zeng Mi's favor. She hasn't seen much of the world, and she's probably been confused by your smooth talk."

After saying this, she sounded somewhat dejected. "My frequent contact with Zeng Mi was actually to try and extract this crucial information from her. But I never imagined that what I couldn't accomplish after all this time would be done by you!"

Zeng Wenjie immediately said, "Don't worry, Sister Xuan, I'm not approaching you to get any information. I just enjoy drinking and chatting with you! Besides, chatting with Sister Xuan, who graduated from a prestigious university, can enrich my knowledge and broaden my horizons."

Ye Yixuan said, "On the contrary, I feel like you've stuffed a lot of messy knowledge into my head!"

They drank and chatted, creating a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere.

Zeng Wenjie never imagined that one day he would be able to drink and chat freely with Ye Yixuan, a woman whose cold beauty made people afraid to look directly at her.

Ye Yixuan never expected that she would be drinking happily with this boy who initially made her a little annoyed, and sharing some very difficult things from her heart.

Zeng Wenjie probed about the Century City matter.

Ye Yixuan said that this was feasible and suggested that he find an opportunity to discuss it in detail with Zhuang Aimin.

Before she knew it, Ye Yixuan had drunk a little too much, her cheeks flushed with a peach-like pink blush, and her eyes became slightly hazy.

In this state, she lacked her usual cold, aloof, and sharp demeanor. Coupled with her strawberry bear pajamas, she looked more like a friendly older sister next door.
