Mainly Because He Gave Too Much Money

In order to resist the arranged marriage arranged by his family, the CEO spent 30 million to “buy” a professional actor.

Thinking that he had bought a “perfect and worry-free package,�...

Chapter 24 - Registration means buying and leaving

Yan Xiuji felt that Zhou Ziyi's eyes were looking at him a little strangely recently.

Although the two only met at breakfast and in the evening, this did not prevent Zhou Ziyi from observing him vaguely. Yan Xiuji endured for two days, and finally on the morning of the marriage certificate, he couldn't help but ask: "What are you looking at? Just say it."

Zhou Ziyi swallowed the noodles in his mouth and reminded, "We're going to get the certificate soon, Mr. Yan?"

"Otherwise? I asked for leave this morning and was idle at home?" Yan Xiuji looked at him, "Why, do you want to regret it?"

"No." Zhou Ziyi said, "I'm just reminding you. Are you sure?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Yan Xiuji didn't understand what he wanted to say, and didn't intend to delve into it. The president stood up and said, "Change clothes after eating, and keep an eye on the time."

"Yeah, I calculated it." Zhou Ziyi responded, watched Yan Xiuji go upstairs, and then slurped up his noodles.

After putting the two people's dishes into the kitchen, rinsed them with water, and put them in the dishwasher, Zhou Ziyi went to change his clothes.

Today's outfit is simple, a white shirt and black trousers, Zhou Ziyi also had time to style her hair. After styling, she also applied some concealer, a thin foundation, a little brown eyeliner and almost colorless lipstick, and it was done.

It was not in vain that Zhou Ziyi asked the stylist how to do the so-called "simplest nude makeup" on the day of her wedding photo shoot.

There is no other way, ID photos are too challenging. Mr. Yan spent 30 million to "buy" Zhou Ziyi for the ID, which is equivalent to charging for taking photos, so Zhou Ziyi must show a "professional" level.

So Yan Xiuzhi waited downstairs for a few minutes, and when he saw Zhou Ziyi again, he suddenly felt that he was different.

It's a bit like... it suddenly started to glow and shine.

But President Yan didn't understand what "nude makeup" was. He just took a look at Zhou Ziyi's hair and thought that it was probably because Zhou Ziyi looked energetic with his forehead exposed.

Zhou Ziyi took a look at Yan Xiuji and asked, "Boss Yan, would you like to add a fan?"

Yan Xiuji was stunned for a moment: "What?"

"Wait a moment." Zhou Ziyi slipped back to her room, took out a makeup bag, and helped Yan Xiuzhi fix his face in the living room.

Yan Xiu Ji was not happy at first, but Zhou Ziyi pulled him and said, "You have to be in a photo, Mr. Yan! ID photos are scary!" Yan Xiu Ji didn't know what he was thinking about, so he let go and let him do it.

But I still resolutely refuse to use eyeliner.

Zhou Ziyi didn't force it, he just brightened it a little and that was it. It was much simpler than the wedding photo day.

After finishing, he took a selfie with his arm around the person's neck before leaving.

Yan Xiuji was now used to Zhou Ziyi's behavior: "Another circle of friends?"

"Yes." Zhou Ziyi counted, "Send one before you leave, and one after you get the certificate. You should also send the one when you get the certificate, right? I'll give you photos and text, and you can just post it like you did on the day of the engagement."

Yan Xiuji was too lazy to struggle and just commented: "You never get tired of doing this."

"I'm providing good service..." Zhou Ziyi paused while adding filters to the photo, and couldn't help asking again, "Boss Yan, are we really going to register today? If you're hesitant, you still have time to step on the brakes."

When Yan Xiuji heard him bring this up again, he finally asked, "What do you want to say?"

Zhou Ziyi hinted: "That is, if you have someone you really want to be with, you'd better consider this situation..."

Yan Xiuji frowned: "What?"

"Consider whether the other party would mind this..." Zhou Ziyi showed an expression of "you know me, I know you", "At least, would you mind if this is your second marriage?"

Yan Xiuji couldn't follow his train of thought at all: "What do you mean by a second marriage? Who minds my second marriage?"

"Do you have to be so clear?" Zhou Ziyi said with a sigh, "Even if Mr. Yan's sweetheart comes, I will definitely step down without hesitation. No second thoughts."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yan Xiuji said, "I don't have a sweetheart."

Do you need to buy a marriage partner if you have a sweetheart? Yan Xiuji thought Zhou Ziyi's idea was funny: "You think too much."

"Well, maybe it's just that fate hasn't arrived yet." Zhou Ziyi couldn't just say "I know you have a lover abroad", right? That would be a disaster for Tang Shirong, who kept talking. Zhou Ziyi had to say something nice: "When fate arrives in the future, you will get what you want. There is nothing you can't get for a man as outstanding as Mr. Yan."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yan Xiuji narrowed his eyes, "Backing off at the last minute?"

"Definitely not." Zhou Ziyi clenched his fists and walked in front of Yan Xiuji, "I will definitely sign with you, officer."

Yan Xiuji looked at the fist he stretched out, confused: "What for?"

"Oh, I asked you to arrest me, but did I ask you to guess which side the coin is on?" Zhou Ziyi took his hand back. "Anyway, I'm definitely not backing down. I'm just being sensible. As long as you let me go, I will definitely go. If you want me to stay here honestly, I will be loyal to the people and... uh, family!"

Yan Xiuji heard a hint of something behind the words and said calmly, "I will not cheat on my wife either."

"I understand. It's a bad reputation." Zhou Ziyi shrugged. "It doesn't matter. I won't say anything. If you need to, you can make up a story and blame it on me. I'll listen to you anyway."

"Listen less to gossip, and think less about messy things." Yan Xiuji couldn't understand where Zhou Ziyi got such a ridiculous idea from, and he was too lazy to explore it. He just warned, "Don't do unnecessary things."

"Understood!" Zhou Ziyi saluted jokingly, then checked the time. "Let's go, Boss Yan?"

Yan Xiuji glanced at the clock and said, "Let's go."

***

Zhou Ziyi originally thought that going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the certificate might be a difficult hurdle psychologically.

But in reality, you can come in if you want, and you can get in if you want.

Before taking the photo, Zhou Ziyi even tried to calm Yan Xiuji down: "Boss Yan, don't be so serious. Think about something happy."

Yan Xiuji glanced at him: "Happy things?"

"Well, I know you're not very happy about getting married." Zhou Ziyi said, "Think about the industrial park that Huahao recently signed? Think about your net profit and stock price?"

Yan Xiuji: "You know?"

"I always read the news, and I also read your financial report." Zhou Ziyi coughed lightly, "Although I don't quite understand it."

Yan Xiuji: "Which part don't you understand?"

“Ah?” Zhou Ziyi didn’t understand why he asked this, but he still answered honestly, “The part about the introduction of the technical research and development direction. I can understand each word of empowerment and enabling, but I can’t understand them together…”

Yan Xiuzhi was used to seeing him being smart and well-mannered, so it was rare for him to see him looking confused, and he suddenly found it a little funny.

"If you don't understand, you can ask me."

"That's not necessary..." Zhou Ziyi blinked, "Brother, you smiled!"

Yan Xiuji was stunned.

"Hold on! This is the expression!" Zhou Ziyi also smiled, much more brightly than Yan Xiuzhi, and reached out to hold Yan Xiuzhi's hand.

"Let's go, it's our turn to register."

***

Yan Xiuzhi is such a workaholic. He gets his certificate in the morning and goes to work in the afternoon.

Of course, this is how Yan Xiuji is seen by his colleagues and subordinates. For him, registration is just a schedule, and once it is done, it is time for the next step.

However, the atmosphere in the company is still a little different.

In the past, when Yan Xiuji met the employees in the company, everyone would give way, bow their heads, and say "Mr. Yan", which was considered a greeting. But today, when everyone saw him, they smiled and said "Congratulations, Mr. Yan".

Yan Xiuji thought to himself that he hadn't registered in a big way, so how come the whole company knew about it? When he got to the office and opened the X letter, he understood what was going on.

Zhou Ziyi has posted on WeChat Moments.

In the morning, it was a selfie of the two of them, with the caption "Civil Affairs Bureau! Let's go!" Just now at noon, another one was posted, with a photo of the marriage certificate with a red background, a photo of two red books, and a photo of one hand pressing on another hand, both pressing on the red book.

The last photo was taken by Zhou Ziyi and Yan Xiuji. They were still in the car at the time. He first grabbed Yan Xiuji's hand and changed the wedding ring from the middle finger to the ring finger. The action of putting the ring on scared Yan Xiuji.

However, Zhou Ziyi quickly let go of his hand and changed his own.

Then Zhou Ziyi put his hand on the red book and said, "Brother, can you lend me your hand?"

Yan Xiuji: “…”

Zhou Ziyi encouraged him: "Just once, it will be quick and painless!"

Yan Xiuzhi suspected that if he didn't stretch out his hand, this guy would start talking nonsense again.

Perhaps due to his experience last time, Yan Xiuji was able to do it on his own this time, and stretched out his left hand to press on Zhou Ziyi's hand. The two rings reflected the light and looked very conspicuous.

Zhou Ziyi was still not satisfied. He turned on the lights in the car, turned on the filter on his phone, and instructed the CEO to "slant it a little", "it won't look good if it's too high up", and "loosen your fingers, don't put them together". After a round of requests, he finally took a few photos.

Now I have finally selected them and posted them on my Moments.

Yan Xiuzhi felt like it was an official announcement from a celebrity on the Internet.

But after looking at the original photo and text sent by Zhou Ziyi, Yan Xiuzhi still posted one himself.

——If I don’t send it, this guy will keep urging me, so I might as well send it.

Just a few minutes after it was posted, Li Fei, who was sitting on the other side of the wall, liked it at the speed of light!

In the evening, Zhou Ziyi looked at Yan Xiuzhi in surprise... and went home with a bunch of red roses.

“What are you doing…?”

"Someone in the company gave it to me to congratulate me on my marriage." The CEO holding the flower looked unhappy, "It's not suitable to put it in my office, so I brought it back."

Zhou Ziyi jumped up from the sofa, rushed to Yan Xiuzhi and... took several photos.

Yan Xiuji was immediately annoyed: "Zhou Ziyi!"

"Oh, take a picture just in case, as a backup." Zhou Ziyi put away his phone with a smile, and then President Yan stuffed his arms full of roses.

Zhou Ziyi: ???

"You handle it." President Yan would not handle this matter himself. After passing the blame, he turned around and went upstairs.

Before he even stepped onto the stairs, Yan Xiuji remembered something, stopped and turned to look at Zhou Ziyi: "I asked Li Fei to transfer the money, but the amount is large and the transfer will take time. Please check it carefully."

Zhou Ziyi was stunned, then he remembered that it was the "first transfer after marriage registration" stipulated in the contract.

He blinked: "Didn't you say that it would be the day before the wedding...?"

Yan Xiuji said calmly, "It was the day of registration. If you change it to today, it will be allocated to you today."

Zhou Ziyi's eyes lit up.

He held the rose, bowed to Yan Xiuji, and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you."

"Don't bow, I'm just following the rules." Yan Xiuzhi was not happy to see him being so humble. He first scolded him, paused, and then responded to his thanks.

"You're welcome."
