People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 533 A Completely Different Person
She was well aware of how difficult it was to get access cards here at this time.

Despite the fact that the Yan family is the dominant force in Gucheng, only a few key figures in the Yan Group can command respect from companies here. The other members of the family simply do not have that kind of power.

This powerful dragon crossing the river really doesn't need to pay any attention to the local bullies.

If you have to buy into it, it only proves that you're not some powerful dragon.

But their company is backed by one of the top ten companies in the world. Even if it's just an outer branch of their business, it's still incredibly powerful.

Moreover, Gu Cheng's side is now under the leadership of Fan Mengxin, the leader of the Divine Heaven Path.

Even the idea for their collaboration came from a sudden inspiration.

At this point, it wasn't just her who was curious; her teammates were also curious. Although their group had only been together for a short time, after a period of getting to know each other, they already knew each other very well.

Admittedly, their relationship is vastly different from that of true friends; it's an extremely special case, more like a close friendship in a stage play. Even if this friendship is just an act for others, it's beneficial for their future development.

But at least in the play, their relationship remains unchanged.

Therefore, they knew some of Yan Qingyan's situation. Her father was a senior executive of the Yan Group. He did have some power, but he was not in the core circle.

However, her father was a power-hungry man who was busy with his career and naturally did not take good enough care of his family.

Within a family, the gap between different circles is not much smaller than outside. Even if you share the same surname and stand in the same ancestral hall during ancestral worship, you still can't reach each other.

For a large family like the Yan family, with so many descendants that even within three generations the number is enormous, the affection that the highest leader can bestow upon his descendants is naturally diminished.

Only a small number of the closest and most capable relatives can receive preferential treatment based on personal relationships; others should not even think about it.

Being able to provide welfare for the clan without withholding a single penny is already quite good.

Under these circumstances, how could Yan Qingyan's social circle suddenly include someone who could obtain five access cards?!

As for Su Wan'er, they weren't blind; they could tell the difference in the access cards.

Not to mention Yan Qingyan, even the Yan family of Gu Cheng doesn't have this kind of power.

Those who frequent this circle are naturally adept at reading people's expressions and demeanor.

Yan Qingyan was a very smart person. At this moment, he didn't look at Su Wan'er much, but stared at Li Qi. He was the only one who stood out.

On one hand, there were five access cards, but she didn't recognize this person. On the other hand, she felt a very different feeling from Li Qi. At first glance, Li Qi was indeed somewhat handsome, but in the entertainment industry where everyone was handsome or beautiful, he didn't seem to be anything special.

But the more you look at it and the more you think about it, the more you can feel a wonderful essence in what seems ordinary, a kind of sedimentation after the superficiality has been washed away.

In a sense, she has a talent for judging people, surpassing many others.

"Sure enough, Sister Qingyan, you didn't recognize him at first glance either. He's Brother Qi, Li Qi. Didn't you mention a few days ago that you missed the opportunity this year?"

"We originally came here to surprise you, but unexpectedly, Qi-ge ran into one of his friends outside and got us a few of these."

Before Li Qi could speak, Yan Wenzheng spoke up impatiently.

When Su Wan'er heard Yan Wenzheng mention her, she puffed out her chest, as if to say, "Isn't she amazing?" She looked just like a primary school student waiting for praise from her teacher.

Yan Qingyan observed everything, but felt something was amiss. When Yan Wenzheng spoke, she indeed saw a familiar resemblance in Li Qi. If she thought about it carefully, if Li Qi had fully grown up, with every detail perfectly aligned, he really could have looked like that. But such a thing was extremely rare. How many people are beautiful as children but become less attractive as they grow up? And how many people are unattractive from childhood to adulthood…

In theory, everyone can make minor adjustments and maintain a normal weight, so they won't be bad off.

Many photo editing apps currently use a similar principle: the main outline remains unchanged, only the details are modified, yet it can make a person look completely different, several levels more handsome or beautiful, while still making you feel like it's you.

Su Wan'er's attitude was even more incomprehensible to her. With a wave of her hand, she issued five access cards. This was definitely the mark of a very important person, a testament to her strength. The number of these cards was predetermined from the very beginning.

Even the company's top leader cannot add more money afterward unless a leadership meeting is held and a vote is taken to discuss it.

Before making a decision, you can increase the value as much as possible, but once the decision is made, problems will definitely arise if it is changed frequently.

Once or twice is fine, but if it happens too often, it will give people the impression of incompetence.

After all, how can someone be trusted if they can't even follow their own decisions?

If this pattern continues at the top, problems will inevitably arise in the operation of the entire company.

The more capable a person is, the more they control everything before things even begin, calculating everything perfectly. If they can't calculate it, it proves they lack ability.

But Su Wan'er's behavior at this moment didn't seem like that of an important person; in fact, Yan Qingyan sensed a hint of sycophancy...

This made her wonder if there was something wrong with her perception.

Before she could think further, Li Qi smiled and said, "Sister Yanqing, it's been a long time."

When he met his old friend again and saw his success, he felt completely at ease, as if everything was just as it had been back then, yet at the same time, everything seemed completely different.

This is a contradictory yet harmonious state.

"Um?!"

"It really is you, Li Qi. The change in you after just one year is terrifying."

Yan Qingyan paused for about half a second before realizing what was happening and said as usual.

The slight sweat on her back revealed the turmoil in her heart.

However, she had excellent emotional control and did not blush or turn red behind her ears. Many people lack emotional control; their faces and ears turn red as soon as their emotions are stirred.

Some people like to use this as a metaphor for love, but in reality, most people experience similar emotional turmoil.

If blushing and red ears truly represent love, then Ximen Qing, who was killed by the legendary Wu Song, would certainly have objections.

At that moment, the other party was so angry that their face was not just red, their hair was practically steaming...

"There have indeed been some changes, but Qingyan, are you the same? This outfit and style are completely different from before."

Li Qi responded that the little bit of emotion he had felt earlier had long since vanished. His heart, calmly reflecting all the things in the mortal world, was becoming more and more detached and transcendent. This was the breadth of his being, which was constantly growing.
