Continue with the monotonous daily routine, exercise in the morning, research stocks, make some harassing phone calls, look at houses, read some books, etc.
Day after day, no wonder I can't find a partner, none of it has anything to do with old women.
In the past, I had no hope in life and no ambition. I basically just played with my phone and watched videos when I had nothing to do. Now that I have hope, my time is occupied by the busy schedule of studying and making a living.
This is all due to human greed, which shows that people can never be truly free.
On this day, Wang Yan was harassing someone as usual when the system prompt came.
"Lin Youyou's wish in 'Nothing But Thirty': to be with Xu Huanshan."
This was a popular TV series before, and Wang Yan had of course watched some of it. In one sentence, "Nothing But Thirty" can be summarized as "the story of three women", and he still remembers some of the plot.
Wang Yan estimated that there were only two possibilities for Lin Youyou's task. One was that Lin Youyou really loved Xu Huanshan, and the other was that her competitive spirit made her want to surpass Gu Jia. After all, jealousy can make people unrecognizable.
The system also gave a year's stay to see what choice Lin Youyou would make after the fireworks factory explosion.
This task is quite interesting.
It has been a while since then, and he has almost forgotten the plot.
I turned on the computer, logged into my membership, and started watching episodes one by one.
He worked hard during the day and watched the show at night. It took him four full days to finish it all. He also gained a new understanding of the entire plot. To put it bluntly, it was all about money.
Moreover, this mission didn't even require him to do much. He just needed to get Xu Huanshan and Gu Jia to divorce early and not let other people get involved. With Lin Youyou's two tricks, Xu Huanshan was definitely not going to be able to escape.
Wang Yan memorized some stock information, which was the key to his making money. He couldn't always go to the Golden Triangle, that would be too unreasonable.
After writing down the key information, draw the curtains, lie on the bed, pull out the panel, and click confirm.
A blue light flashed, and Wang Yan disappeared on the bed again.
、、、
Wang Yan opened his eyes, looked at the unfamiliar environment in front of him, and received the information from the system in his mind.
This system was quite sophisticated, and it immediately indicated that he had assets exceeding 100 million yuan and was a financial elite. According to the system, he was currently in the Grand Hyatt Residence where Gu Jia lived in the drama.
He experienced two worlds: the first was worth 50,000, the second was jailed. In comparison, this was like a vacation.
After understanding all the information, Wang Yan looked around the house.
The system is quite tasteful, with an overall Jiangnan-style decor. There's a large bedroom and a large study. Except for the dining room and kitchen, all other non-load-bearing walls are connected. Partitions are separated by interior landscaping and bookshelves, and the walls are lined with books and art.
The living room features a Japanese tatami mat, furnished with a low table and several futons; there's no sofa or coffee table. There's no TV on the wall, just a large ink painting. With a few exceptions, the entire house has solid wood floors. The house's generous width and depth allow sunlight to stream in, creating a cozy and comfortable atmosphere.
Looking out the window at the mighty Huangpu River and the traffic passing by downstairs, this feeling came over me all of a sudden.
Understated and unpretentious, yet made of exquisite materials, it offers a sense of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle. It feels like being the only one awake while the rest of the world is drunk.
The style was elevated in an instant, and the atmosphere became more polished in an instant.
In Wang Yan's opinion, the decoration was the only thing that looked decent, the rest was just so-so. He had once been a wealthy man, but even in his job, he had seen a lot of luxury houses, and they were all small-scale.
It was morning, and the sun wasn't scorching. Wang Yan walked out onto the balcony, feeling the warm sunlight on his body, which was very comfortable.
Looking at the river flowing below, Wang Yan couldn't help but think of Liu Sihui. At that time, they snuggled together and looked at the Huangpu River. She always said nothing, asked for nothing, and always looked at Wang Yan with gentle eyes.
She left such a deep impression on Wang Yan that he failed to marry her. Thinking about it now, Wang Yan regrets it very much.
He shook his head and let go of his thoughts about Liu Sihui. Things like this would only happen more and more in the future. How could everything be perfect?
Grand Hyatt Residences has twenty-one floors, and Wang Yan lives on the 18th. According to the system, this apartment is significantly cheaper due to its location. It's probably worth less than 50 million yuan. His apartment is over 200 square meters, which works out to just over 200,000 yuan per square meter.
In addition, he also owns several properties and shops in other cities, including Pali. He also holds some miscellaneous stocks and has more than 7 million in cash, which means his assets exceed 100 million.
The system didn't tell him, and Wang Yan had no idea what the plot was at. Wang Manni happened to be in the mall downstairs, so he decided to go and find out.
He immediately turned around, went into the house, tidied up and went downstairs.
As Wang Yan walked out of the elevator, he saw the property staff patiently talking to a family of three.
These three people are Gu Jia's family who just moved in.
When Wang Yan saw them, he knew what was going on. He knew that this was the beginning of the plot and Gu Jia had just moved to Grand Hyatt.
Seeing Wang Yan coming over, the property staff greeted him. Seeing Wang Yan nodded and didn't leave, the property staff understood and introduced them to each other.
"Mr. Wang, this is Mr. Xu and Ms. Gu, our residents on the 12th floor."
Then he turned to Gu Jia and said, "This is Mr. Wang, he lives on the 18th floor."
The two greeted Wang Yan, but Gu Jia was the most forthcoming: "Hello, Mr. Wang. This is my husband, Xu Huanshan. My name is Gu Jia. I hope you will take care of me in the future."
Waving his hand, Wang Yan said politely, "Just call me Wang Yan. Everyone, please take care of each other." He looked at the child behind them and bent down to say, "Hello, what's your name?"
The child was a little shy and said in a low voice: "Hello uncle, my name is Xu Ziyan, and I am 4 years old." The child had been asked this question so many times that he was familiar with the routine.
Wang Yan was amused, and tapped Xu Ziyan's nose: "Okay, the little guy can answer quickly."
Glancing at Gu Jia, who was standing virtuously beside them, Wang Yan said to them, "Haha, the little guy is quite lively."
"Okay, I live upstairs. Let's find time to have dinner together someday and get to know each other. I'm sure you guys have a lot of things to do, so I won't bother you."
After saying hello to them, Wang Yan left. Behind him, Gu Jia asked the property staff about Wang Yan whom she had just met.
Wang Yan is too ordinary. He is not handsome enough to catch people's eyes, nor is he ugly enough to be distinctive. He has neither of the two qualities.
If he had not been trained in two worlds and had not possessed this extraordinary bearing, no dog would even bother to look at him.
Gu Jia’s impression of Wang Yan is that this man is ordinary yet special, his eyes are very charming, and everything else is just so-so.
The property management staff told her that Wang Yan worked in the financial industry and was worth hundreds of millions. This didn't seem like much to Gu Jia, as her family also had tens of millions in assets, so the difference wasn't too big.
Wang Yan's looks are unmatched, and there's nothing he can do about this. If he doesn't have the money, he's doomed.
Habit is a very powerful force, and what Wang Yan wants to do is to make Gu Jia accustomed to his presence. Even a good wife and mother like Gu Jia, who is also a strong woman with some skills, cannot escape the clutches of the scheming Old Wang.
As long as you use the hoe well, there is no corner that cannot be dug down.
Wang Yan walked out of the building and went to look for a nearby shopping mall.
The place was easy to find. After turning two corners, Wang Yan came out and saw the mall. There was a huge door at the bottom, and anyone with normal eyes could see it. Wang Yan walked straight through.
Wang Yan saw Wang Manni standing at the door from a distance. It must be said that she was really good-looking, very attractive and particularly eye-catching.
Wang Manni, who was standing at the door of the store, saw Wang Yan coming and took two steps forward to greet him: "Hello, sir. Welcome to Misia."
Wang Yan nodded to her.
"I don't know what your name is?"
"Wang Yan."
"Mr. Wang, please come in."
"I'm wondering what you'd like to choose? We've just got a new batch of men's clothing in the store. Would you like to take a look?"
Wang Yan said, "Just give me two casual outfits."
Looking at his behavior, Wang Manni figured out that he was not short of money.
"Then please sit for a while. I'll give you two sets to try."
Then she measured his figure and turned to look for clothes.
Wang Yan looked around boredly and accidentally saw Linda, who had been studying Wang Manni all the time in the show. She was the contestant who used all kinds of tricks to steal clients.
Linda had no customers at the moment, so she just looked at Wang Manni with a murderous look.
Wang Yan shook his head, showing no interest in her at all. People are always like this, never looking for reasons within themselves, but only constantly complaining about all kinds of injustice.
After a while, Wang Manni came over and asked him to go to the fitting room to change clothes and try them on.
There is no need to say much about Wang Yan's figure, she is a standard clothes rack. And Wang Manni has been in the industry for many years and her vision is impeccable, she is always at the forefront of fashion.
Watching him come out of the fitting room, Wang Manni didn't expect it to be so fitting. Combined with Wang Yan's temperament, it gave off a completely different flavor.
"Mr. Wang, this suit really fits you well. It suits your temperament very well."
In response to her words, Wang Yan looked at himself in the mirror and nodded without comment.
"Try that."
After trying both sets on, he felt they were both okay. He was used to wearing suits, and suddenly changing into one was like a revelation.
"How do you feel, Mr. Wang?"
"Just these two sets, swipe the card."
Two sets of clothes, less than 200,000 yuan.
Being in sales, there is a strong sense of accomplishment at the moment of closing a deal. Wang Manni happily took Wang Yan to get the invoice and settle the bill, which could bring in a lot of money.
When they reached the door, Wang Yan invited Wang Manni, "Would it be convenient for you to have dinner together tonight?"
Looking at Wang Yan's charming eyes, Wang Manni didn't expect Wang Yan to invite her so abruptly. After all, their communication just now was limited, but wasn't this her goal all along?
In her opinion, while Wang Yanren wasn't particularly good-looking, he did have a pair of radiant eyes. Furthermore, he spent nearly 200,000 yuan without blinking, proving his considerable wealth. He didn't look old, perhaps around 30, and he had the aura of a successful person. It wouldn't hurt to get to know him.
"Mr. Wang, don't you think your invitation is a bit abrupt?"
Seeing her actions, Wang Yan understood: "People are always attracted to beauty, and I think you are beautiful enough."
Without giving her a chance to say more, he said, "Let's add each other on WeChat first."
After adding the money, Wang Yan said, "Okay, that's it. I'll pick you up at 8 o'clock. I'm leaving first." He had seen the business hours posted on the door before.
Looking at Wang Yan's back as he walked away with the things in his hand, Wang Manni's heart was also in turmoil.
Over the years, she'd been invited countless times, but Wang Yan was the first to be so overbearing. After all, there were so many lickspittles, and it wasn't uncommon for them to want to keep her. It was normal to feel a bit of novelty when a special man suddenly appeared.
At this time, an older sister with a bag came over, and Wang Manni greeted her with a smile.
Of the three heroines, Wang Yan thinks the most normal one is Gu Jia. Regardless of her values, she is competent as a mother and a wife, and the others are just so-so.
Wang Manni is a classic example of a double-crosser, talking about material things with the poor and romance with the rich. She has no idea of her own worth, and can't see her true potential. She doesn't care about her parents, only pursuing a higher social status. In the end, she even forcefully tries to clean up her act, claiming she's just going abroad, which is ridiculous. What can you do with 100,000 yuan? Is it that easy?
Zhong Xiaoqin wasn't a good person either, even though she ended up looking like a good wife and mother. Wang Yan didn't want to comment on her and Chen Yu, nor did he plan to have any contact. For one thing, Wang had no sexual interest in her, and for another, they were willing to fight and get along, so it was none of his business.
Of the three of them, Gu Jia and Zhong Xiaoqin are much closer. After all, they are classmates, sisters for many years, and both are locals. Wang Manni, an outsider, is actually isolated from the two, similar to how Gu Jia is outside the wives' circle.
After returning home, Wang Yan packed up and went out again.
Wang Yan went to the underground garage and found the car assigned by the system. It was an A8, black, top-of-the-line, probably worth less than 2 million yuan. Wang Yan started the car and went to his company.
The system set up a small studio for him, which was located in an office building not far from his residence, just over 20 minutes' drive away. He had about 20 people under him.
I have to say that this system is really good and well arranged.
I arrived at the company, found the person in charge, and explained everything to him.
The main thing is to clear out some of the stocks you previously held, and then tell them some stock information so they can operate. The principal is tens of millions, so you should be able to make a lot of money.
After handling some daily matters and making some arrangements, Wang Yan could handle these matters easily. After all, his management, financial, and investment skills were sufficient, so handling these matters was a piece of cake.
The employees are all enthusiastic about their work, and Wang Yan isn't a ruthless person. He pays them well. There aren't any major issues at the company, no overtime, no KPIs, and so on. They're all competent, and overall, the job is pretty easy.
After working for a while, it was past five o'clock and time to get off work.
Wang Yan found a famous local restaurant and made a reservation. He hadn't eaten the local food for a long time and missed it a little.
People in the service industry usually get off work late, so at 8:00, Wang Yan drove to the mall. He didn't go straight to her. As an adult, it's essential to consider others. Especially for someone like Lao Wang, who has a clear goal.
Weixin told Wang Manni the address, and soon Wang Manni came over with a bag.
Looking at Wang Yan who rolled down the car window and waved at her, she responded with a smile.
As a woman who had long wanted to turn herself from a pheasant into a phoenix, she certainly knew something about cars. After seeing Wang Yan's car, she had a deeper understanding of his abilities.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Wang Manni opened the car door, sat in the passenger seat, and said to Wang Yan beside her.
"It won't take long, and what's the harm in waiting for a pretty girl?"
"Don't be so polite, fasten your seat belts and let's go." Wang Yan started the car and merged into the traffic.
"You've been working all day, you must be very hungry. I've booked a restaurant, everyone says it's good. Eat more later to reward you." Wang Yan said as he drove.
