Chapter 1827 Brother-in-law who is a gigolo?
BH City, Dingche Wharf.
Inside the cabin of the White Dolphin.
"Should we negotiate the price first? Or unload the goods first?"
Wei Yan looked at Ye Yuan with admiration in her eyes.
"Your people and my people will unload the goods. Let's find a place and negotiate the price. We are old acquaintances. How can I not trust you?"
Ye Yuan said indifferently.
In fact, he knew very well that negotiating prices with a veteran like Wei Yan was not something he was good at.
As long as the other party doesn't lower the price too much, I can accept it.
Besides, he didn't think Wei Yan would do such a thing as draining the pond to catch fish.
Let’s not talk about what kind of person Wei Yan is.
As for the way she treated her partners, Ye Yuan still admired her.
In Wei Yan’s own words.
That means everyone makes money together.
If in an industry, only the top players can make a living, then this industry has no value in existence.
As a successful businessman, one must not only have a keen sense of touch, but also the determination to lead the industry to prosperity.
Ye Yuan agreed with Wei Yan's point of view.
This is also the main reason why Ye Hui and Wei Yan have been working together for so long and get along well with each other.
BH City, a high-end Chinese restaurant.
“I know you don’t like Western food.
Here we have the most authentic Beihai cuisine. You probably haven’t eaten it much, right? "
After Wei Yan and Song Ming sat down, they warmly entertained the guest Ye Yuan.
Beihai cuisine is a branch of Huaiyang cuisine.
Beihai cuisine has been influenced by cuisines from all over the world in history, forming a unique style.
When the locals hold a banquet, eight dishes are common, commonly known as the "old eight dishes".
Ye Yuan knew a lot about Beihai cuisine.
After all, including this time, he has only been to Beihai twice.
Last time I left in a hurry and didn’t even have the chance to taste the local food.
Eight Treasure Duck, Crystal Shrimp, White-Cut Chicken, Braised Pork, and Braised Pig's Pork Knuckle (also known as Pork Elbow).
Braised catfish, casserole fish head with fermented rice wine, vegetarian crab roe, steamed shad.
Soon, the waiter brought out the prepared dishes one by one.
The food was served in such a short time, Ye Yuan was already certain that this was the result of Wei Yan's prior notification.
Otherwise, based on the time I arrive, I won’t have enough time to even prepare the food, let alone serve it.
Ye Yuan was not polite either. At Wei Yan's invitation, his men tasted a bite of the steamed shad.
Ye Yuan had heard of this dish a long time ago.
The smooth taste and unique flavor of shad made Ye Yuan like it very much.
It’s actually Eight Treasure Duck.
Eight Treasure Duck is a traditional specialty of Beihai.
It was originally a famous dish from Suzhou. Later, Beihai City God Temple imitated this dish and added a variety of auxiliary ingredients. It gradually spread in Beihai.
Later, due to its great popularity, it quickly became one of the important representatives of Beihai cuisine.
Eat without talking and sleep without talking.
Neither Ye Yuan nor Wei Yan mentioned the price of the batch of seafood at the beginning.
Half an hour later, Ye Yuan had almost finished eating.
So I put down my chopsticks.
Then he raised his head and looked at Wei Yan who was chewing slowly.
"I am full?"
Wei Yan put down her chopsticks and asked.
"I'm full! Thank you, Sister Wei, for your hospitality!"
"You eat so fast! It's bad for your stomach!"
Wei Yan shook her head, as if she was lecturing her own child, her elder-like demeanor was clearly evident.
"I'm used to it. I'm considered slow in the shipyard. You didn't see how fast those guys are!"
Ye Yuan responded with a smile.
"Regarding this tuna, what do you think of the price?"
For the next ten minutes or so, Wei Yan and Ye Yuan engaged in a not-so-intense bargaining session.
In the end, Wei Yan ended with the corners of her mouth curled up.
But Ye Yuan had no regrets.
After all, these seafood are less than one-tenth of what we release back into the sea.
How could he care about such a tiny price difference?
The reason for doing this is that you don’t want to be seen as a sucker in the eyes of others, right?
"I have booked a hotel for you. Do you want me to take you there now?"
After negotiating the price, Wei Yan transformed herself into a warm-hearted big sister.
Became concerned about where Ye Yuan lived.
"No need, I'll go find a friend later, she should still be in Beihai now!"
Ye Yuan shook his head. Are you kidding? He came to Beihai mainly for Song Ran. How could he stay in the hotel opened by Wei Yan?
"You have friends in Beihai? I haven't heard Xiaohui mention them. How are they? Do you want me to take you there?"
Originally, Ye Yuan didn't want to trouble Wei Yan anymore.
But think about it, I’m in Beihai and I’m unfamiliar with the place, I can’t find many places.
The words of refusal were on the tip of my tongue.
Finally, he nodded and said:
"Then I'll trouble you, Sister Wei!"
Several people got into a business car brought by Wei Yan.
“300 RM Avenue, HP District!”
Ye Yuan gave an address.
"Ok?"
Before Wei Yan could speak, Song Ming, who had been following her, looked at Ye Yuan with strange eyes.
"Is something wrong?"
Wei Yan didn't understand the reason, but she knew that Song Ming would not easily reveal this attitude.
There must be something I don't know.
"Mr. Ye's friend is attending the film festival?"
Song Ming asked with some surprise.
"Mr. Song can see this?
You are really an old Beihai person! "
Ye Yuan replied with a smile, without denying anything.
Since I have told them the place, I am not afraid of them knowing it.
I believe that people like Wei Yan and Song Ming should never gossip.
What's more, I didn't say who I was going to find.
More people are attending the film festival.
Facing Wei Yan's inquiring gaze, Song Ming could only explain with a smile:
"No. 300 Renmin Avenue, HP District, is the Beihai Grand Theater, and it is also the venue for this Beihai Film Festival, which opened the day before yesterday.
It’s the film festival’s screening time now, so when Mr. Ye mentioned that place just now, I was curious! "
Song Ming explained.
"Oh! Haha! I really ran into the muzzle of a gun."
Then, he looked at Ye Yuan and introduced again:
“Song Ming is more than just my partner.
Moreover, he had previously worked at Beihai Film Group Co., Ltd.
I just quit there two years ago!"
Wei Yan briefly introduced the matter about Song Ming.
Ye Yuan didn't expect that the person in front of him was actually a member of Beihai Film Group.
Wow, this guy has a complicated background.
No wonder people knew what I was going to do there just by telling them a location.
"What a coincidence! My sister is attending a film festival recently. If Mr. Ye needs to find someone, you can contact my sister. She is more successful there than me."
Song Ming said with a smile.
"Oh? You have a sister? How come I didn't know?"
Wei Yan asked curiously.
She expressed her curiosity about Song Ming's sudden appearance of a younger sister.
“My uncle’s.
My sister is a big star, Song Ran, you should have heard of her, right? "
Song Ming kept smiling.
Ye Yuan couldn't tell what the relationship between the two people was.
If we say they are partners, they don’t look like it.
But can we say that the two of them are boyfriend and girlfriend?
It seems a little unfamiliar.
Just as Ye Yuan was studying the relationship between the two people.
Suddenly I heard Song Ming talking about Song Ran.
And you said it was his sister?
This. . . .
No way?
Are there really such coincidences in the world?
In his opinion, this middle-aged man was suspected to be kept by Wei Yan.
It turned out to be his own brother-in-law?
This is Nima...
Ye Yuan's expression changed several times.
He didn't even know what to say.
This is too ridiculous.
But the words still need to be said.
Otherwise, it would be awkward if we really meet each other in the future.
But Ye Yuan would not reveal the relationship between him and Song Ran.
So after thinking for a few seconds, he asked:
"Song Guangren is your uncle?"
This time it was Song Ming who was surprised.
Even though he always remained elegant and refined, when he heard Ye Yuan being able to directly and accurately say the name of his uncle, he couldn't help but look at Ye Yuan in astonishment.
"Do you know my uncle?"
"Haha! That's my master!"
Ye Yuan touched his nose awkwardly and said with an embarrassed look.
"Ah! I remember now.
I heard Xiao Ran say before that she seemed to have a junior brother who contracted a fishery in Blue Island.
So it's you, Mr. Ye?"
The conversation between the two people left Wei Yan stunned.
This is too coincidental, right?
Ye Yuan finally figured it out.
It seems that Song Ming is not very close to his cheap master.
Otherwise, he would not be unaware of his own existence.
He knew very well that his master often mentioned him.
He praises it to everyone he meets!
He is so old that he has accepted a disciple who is even better than him.
But the Song Ming in front of him obviously hadn't contacted the old man for a long time.
Occasionally, I would learn about myself from Song Ran.
This shows that the two families were not very close.
"The friend you are talking about is not Xiao Ran, right?"
Song Ming asked belatedly.
What else could Ye Yuan say? He was caught in the act by his own brother-in-law!
But he wouldn't say too much about himself and Song Ran.
After all, who knows what kind of person Song Ming is?
Once his relationship with Song Ran is exposed.
It doesn't have much impact on me.
But it’s hard to say for Song Ran.
So he could only deal with it by saying:
"Yes, aren't we in Beihai?
I heard she was there too, so I wanted to ask her to bring something to Master!"
Ye Yuan just said something nonsense to get by!
"Yeah! That's thoughtful!"
Song Ming nodded and returned to his previous elegant demeanor.
Ye Yuan was not sure whether the relationship between him and Wei Yan was what he imagined.
So it’s difficult to express any opinion about this brother-in-law who suddenly showed up.
It seems that I must remind Song Ran of this when I see her later.
After all, he is my brother-in-law, and it is not so glorious to be a middle-aged gigolo.
The car quickly arrived at Beihai Grand Theater.
"Do you want us to accompany you in?"
Wei Yan could see that Ye Yuan didn't want two people to accompany him.
But out of politeness, I still asked this question.
"No!
I can go in by myself. If that doesn't work, I can still call. Sister Wei, you guys go ahead and do your work!"
Ye Yuan waved his hand to indicate no.
The car started again.
The commercial vehicle modification is very good.
The driver's cab could not hear the conversation of the people behind at all.
At this moment, only Wei Yan and Song Ming were left in the car.
Wei Yan then found a comfortable position and leaned against the backrest.
He looked at Song Ming with a teasing look and said:
"The relationship between Ye Yuan and your sister is not that simple."
“I’m not sure about this.”
Song Ming still sat in a standard posture, with an elegant smile on his face all the time.
"Let's make a bet. Do you believe that you will receive a call from your sister soon?"
Wei Yan smiled and looked at Song Ming and said.
"No way? They shouldn't be that gossipy."
Song Ming said with a wry smile on his face.
He was not a fool, so how could he not see Ye Yuan's obvious expression?
“We have nothing to hide from the Ye brothers and sisters.
You can just tell the truth, which will not only win the favor of the Ye family.
It also prevents others from looking down on your status at home.
I am sorry for making things difficult for you this time. I am sorry for making you suffer."
Wei Yan put away her playful expression and spoke seriously.
"There's nothing wrong with it, just some gossip.
Sister Wei, you don’t need to think too much. The main thing is to be on guard against other people in the Wei family.
If you let them know that you have opened a new company outside, I believe you will be in trouble.
It will be small.”
Song Ming's words made Wei Yan fall into deep thought.
. . . .
Ye Yuanke had no idea what happened in the car after he left.
At this moment, he is walking in front of various exhibition halls.
He was not in a hurry to call Song Ran.
Instead, I really relaxed and visited the Beihai International Film Festival.
Beihai has made indelible contributions to the long history of Chinese film.
Beihai International Film Festival is the first and so far the only competitive international film festival in China.
Taking the brochure handed over by the volunteer, Ye Yuan saw a more detailed introduction about this film festival.
The 26th Beihai International Film Festival.
The global film call will start on December 2023, 12.
Until March 2024, 3.
A total of more than 105 entries were received from 3300 countries and regions on five continents.
Among them, the number of films registered for the Golden Goblet Awards in five major categories: main competition, Asian Newcomer, documentary, animation, and short film.
Wow, Ye Yuan didn’t expect that just a film festival, not even one of the three major European ones, would have so many entries.
This was something he had not expected, and it also gave him a deeper understanding of the Beihai International Film Festival.
He originally thought it was an international film festival.
In fact, it is just a window for China's own films to the outside world.
But I found out today after reading the brochure.
The Beihai Film Festival is not as simple as I thought.
I was walking casually when I suddenly heard someone calling me.
"Brother Yuan? Is it really you? Why are you here?"
Ye Yuan looked back.
At this moment, not far from him, there was a young man who was looking at him with an incredible look.
And the previous sound was also made by him.
Ye Yuan still had some impression of this young man.
This was one of the people who had followed Mu Qiang to the film and television base to see him.
But Ye Yuan couldn't remember its specific name.
