In the Perfume River project, more than 200 million bids have become the focus of competition between Zhang Zhongping's 3D auction company and Xu Yi's Sunshine Times auction company. Behind this competition, the auction recommendation letter in Yan Ruoshui's hand has become the key. Originally, Yan Ruoshui had reached a deal with Zhang Zhongping, but due to the instigation of *** Qi Yu and his concern that someone in the company would gradually be taken away by the procuratorate for investigation, he decided to make a big profit. Qi Yu proposed a plan, using the letter of recommendation as a bait, on the one hand, to let Zhang Zhongbian bribe 6 million yuan in the form of an auction through the green glaze four-series jar, and on the other hand, let Xu Yi buy the celadon tea club under Qi Yu's name for 10 million yuan.
After experiencing the death of Justice Judge Hou Changping to save people and his wife Tang Wen's misdiagnosis of cancer, Zhang Zhongping began to deeply reflect on the meaning of life. He realized that people should not chase money by any means, but should return to the meaning of human life itself, be upright and do things openly. Zhang Zhongping, who woke up, took the celadon lotus vase and the blue-glazed four-series jar to find Yan Ruoshui for a showdown, and smashed the two pieces of porcelain in front of him. He warned Yan Ruoshui to let Xu Yi go, and used the entire inside story of his and Yan Ruoshui's transaction as evidence in the form of a recording.
Yan Ruoshui found Qi Yu to confide in after being hit by Zhang Zhongping. He angrily said that Zhang Zhongping had insulted his intelligence and dignity. Qi Yu comforted Yan Ruoshui distressedly, calling him the best man in the world, and couldn't help hugging him. From Qi Yu's tearful eyes, we can see her pity and heartache. She loved Yan Ruoshui deeply and hinted at her love to him, but was rejected by Yan Ruoshui on the grounds that "some words have to be hidden in her heart forever, and some thoughts have to be kept in her heart forever".
So, why did Yan Ruoshui reject Qi Yu? After revisiting "Celadon", we understand the true secret of Yan Ruoshui's "dislike" Qi Yu. In fact, Yan Ruoshui didn't like Qi Yu, but he couldn't like her. On the one hand, he has been creating a good husband and father image who loves the family deeply in front of *** Qi Yu, and this superficial affectionate style has become his bottom line. On the other hand, his family is far abroad, and if the relationship with Qi Yu develops further, it will bring many unnecessary troubles and consequences. Therefore, Yan Ruoshui chose to keep her distance and not let herself fall into a deeper predicament.
Qi Yu is full of envy for her sister, and her sister is not by Yan Ruoshui's side now, which allows Qi Yu to reverie and speculate to his heart's content. She confessed her feelings to Yan Ruoshui: "Do you really love my sister so much?" You are always so lonely and cruel to yourself, is it because of my existence? I envy my sister, if I find a man half as good as you, no, only a third of yours is enough. Do you think I don't look like my sister, when you look at me, do you think of her? These words are deeply meaningful, but Yan Ruoshui, an old fox, although he can feel Qi Yu's deep affection, he can't show any clear expression outside.
Between Yan Ruoshui and Qi Yu, there is a moral threshold that is difficult to cross. Qi Yu's sister, one is his beloved wife, and the other is his blood sister. Qi Yu's sister is like a thread that crosses the hearts of the two, which is a bottom line in front of morality and humanity. Besides, the Qi family is a scholarly family, and the old man of the Qi family, Qi Jiaxuan, is the president of the Calligraphy Association. Yan Ruoshui knows the stakes well, and more importantly, he sticks to the bottom line.
He said to Qi Yu: "I, to be honest, I don't know if I'm a good person or a bad person. If there's one thing I've got in the best of it, it's probably because I've got a little bit of self-discipline. He euphemistically rejected Qi Yu's confession with "just a little self-discipline". With extreme modesty and prudence, he affirmed his only adherence to it: "self-discipline" is a virtue, "a little" is modesty, and "that's it" means that this is his only remaining virtue. And this is the root cause of Yan Ruoshui's ability to keep the bottom line.
Later, Xu Yi did whatever it took to get the auction recommendation letter for the Perfume River project. He couldn't pay bribes publicly, so he recruited Sun Na, who was studying acting, with an annual salary of 200,000 yuan and a bonus calculated separately, trying to use beauty tricks to catch Yan Ruoshui's handle. Sun Na deliberately caused an accident, Yan Ruoshui took her around to find the smashed porcelain in vain, and finally gave her a diamond necklace. Sun Na was overjoyed, and Yan Ruoshui knew it.
When the two were in the hotel, Sun Na went to take a shower, and Yan Ruoshui carefully opened her bag and found the camera and Xu Yi's business card. In front of the camera, Yan Ruoshui gently shook the business card, and then left leisurely. People like Yan Ruoshui, who have been in the political and business worlds for many years, have long been accustomed to this kind of little trick. From the moment Sun Na deliberately collided, he had already understood her plan. He continued to deal with them, not out of ignorance, but to find the mastermind behind it. And this beauty plan has also become a big drama planned by Yan Ruoshui, he used a price of 10 million to let Xu Yi buy the celadon tea club, and attached a fake recommendation letter as a revenge for Xu Yi.
In the face of Qi Yu's active confession, Yan Ruoshui categorically refused; In the face of Sun Na's beauty plan, he can also withdraw calmly. He takes retreat as advance and sticks to a man's bottom line. But his indifference to Qi Yu is not just because of these. In his heart, there is a deeper calculation.
Money and power are the two pillars of Yan Ruoshui's life. The auction recommendation letter in his hand has become the target of competition among various auction companies, and he has also been regarded as a guest of honor by various companies. This kind of false flattery and conspiracy relationship made Yan Ruoshui fall into an extreme desire for money. The Victory Tower project and the Perfume River project are just a means for him to use the power in his hands to obtain huge benefits.
For Qi Yu, Yan Ruoshui is not without feelings, but his desire for money and power hinders his pursuit of true love. His choice is also based on a calculation of the future. And behind all this, Qi Yu has always traded porcelain in the name of the celadon tea club, becoming the biggest beneficiary of his greedy desires.
The problem of the Sail Real Estate Liquidation Center did not stop him from being greedy, and even if someone was taken away by the prosecutor's office for investigation, it did not awaken his conscience. Behind all of this is his extreme desire for money and bottomless pursuit. Qi Yu is his right-hand man who skillfully satisfies his desire for money. He delicately maintained the relationship with Qi Yu, not only keeping her by his side, but also maintaining a certain independence and distance, so that Qi Yu could play the greatest role.
In Yan Ruoshui's view, the value of money is better than feelings. In order to retreat, he is well aware of the dangers of wandering on the edge of the law, so he has to avoid all possible risks. For him, "love" is the weakness that needs to be guarded against the most. Once he and Qi Yu have a deep relationship, they will be closely linked because of their love, and if one party has problems, it will become the weakness of the other party. Yan Ruoshui will not allow herself to fall into a more dangerous and difficult situation to escape from when she knows that she has broken the law.
When the danger is approaching, Qi Yu can sell the celadon tea club without any worries and immigrate to Canada. And Yan Ruoshui can concentrate on planning the escape route. The two of them always kept a certain distance, which was the best retreat left by the scheming Yan Ruoshui for himself and Qi Yu. There is nothing more complicated in the world than feelings, which can capture people's hearts and disturb people's thoughts more. For a person who knows that he is sinning, getting caught up in emotions only adds a weakness and accelerates destruction.
It is precisely because Qi Yu has a good impression of Xu Yi and even has a substantial relationship with him that Qi Yu skillfully creates opportunities between Xu Yi and Yan Ruoshui. When Xu Yi repeatedly broke Yan Ruoshui's principles of action, Yan Ruoshui finally took revenge and accelerated his own destruction. Any emotional impulse can become a lethal accelerant for yourself or someone you care about. Yan Ruoshui's goal is always money, and Qi Yu is his most advantageous and non-controversial tool for converting power into money. He gets the most out of his tools when he needs them;Once the tool is out of use, he can let it go without hesitation. The relationship between him and Qi Yu is like two parallel lines, each taking what he needs, and once they intersect, they will leave a fatal weakness in each other's lives. The reworded text reads as follows:
Love, Interest, and Self: Qi Yu's Complex Emotions.
Qi Yu, a character full of contradictions and entanglements, her actions and choices are puzzling at the same time, but also show her inner pain and struggle. Her emotional world is full of confusion, and this confusion is closely linked to her personal experience and emotional trauma.
Qi Yu once loved someone deeply, but this relationship brought her endless pain. The pain left an indelible mark on her heart, filling her with fear and uncertainty in the face of her new feelings. When she met Yan Ruoshui, she was moved by his affection and single-mindedness, but she couldn't accept this relationship calmly because of the shadow of the past. At the same time, she stumbles upon Seo Yi in a bar, a man who is drunk and spits out the truth because of his failed confession. Qi Yu saw a sincere emotion in Xu Yi, which made her feel warm and touched for a long time. However, this emotion did not translate into love, but became a way for her to escape from reality.
The relationship between Qi Yu and Xu Yi was initially based on a sensual impulse, and then gradually evolved into a relationship of mutual exploitation. Qi Yu uses Xu Yi's feelings to satisfy his emotional needs, while Xu Yi uses Qi Yu's ingenuity to achieve his goals. In this game, both of them had a brief period of happiness and contentment, but both ended up being victims.
Qi Yu's ingenuity and keen business acumen make her comfortable in the business field. She is able to deal with a variety of people and handle all kinds of complex transactions with great skill. However, in the emotional world, she has never been able to find her true home. Her ingenuity became her ** to protect herself, but at the same time, she also fell deeper and deeper into the quagmire of emotions.
Qi Yu showed her selfishness and ruthlessness when dealing with her relationship with Xu Yi. She can easily have an improper relationship with Xu Yi, but at the same time, she welcomes Xu Yi's wife Zhou Xinran with a smile. This kind of behavior is undoubtedly a double injury to herself and Xu Yi. She tried to prove her worth through this behavior, but ended up losing her ego and dignity.
Overall, Qi Yu is a character full of contradictions, and her actions and choices reflect her inner pain and struggle. Her irrationality and confusion in the face of feelings have made her fall into trouble again and again. And her ingenuity and business acumen have made her successful in the business arena, but they have not helped her find true happiness and home. On the road ahead, Qi Yu needs to bravely face his past and inner fears in order to find his true happiness. When Yan Ruoshui witnessed Qi Yu and Xu Yi walking out of the hotel sweetly, complicated emotions surged in his heart. He hated Xu Yi's betrayal, felt heartache for Qi Yu, and regretted not being able to show her his sincerity. But at the same time, he also had a deep disappointment with Qi Yu, because her handling of this matter seemed too cheap and unwise.
Yan Ruoshui warned Qi Yu more than once that Xu Yi was an untrustworthy person. He betrayed his uncle Zhang Zhongping and therefore could not be regarded as a friend. In Yan Ruoshui's eyes, Xu Yi is a person who is confused in big things and clever in small things. Despite this, Qi Yu still chose to obey Xu Yi's arrangement, and even became a bridge between him and Yan Ruoshui.
Xu Yi's bottomless and character flaws made Yan Ruoshui deeply worried. He knew that working with such people was like planting a ticking time bomb. As the auction incident of the Victory Mansion shows, once something happens, Xu Yi must be the first to escape. And Qi Yu's confusion in this relationship made her pay a heavy price in her relationship and career. She loses herself in lust, lowering her dignity and the value of pursuing true love; At the same time, she knew that Xu Yi was not trustworthy, but she was still emotional, which affected Yan Ruoshui's decision-making, and finally led to the destruction of the two together.
Finally, we must recognize that both Xu Yi and Zhang Zhongping betrayed their marriage for the sake of profit and freshness. And although Yan Ruoshui is greedy, in the face of beauty and **, he still sticks to the bottom line and rejects some people around him. He has deep feelings for his family and complex feelings for Qi Yu. He knew that his relationship with Qi Yu would bring him trouble and burden, which was why he chose to keep his distance from her. In the face of money and interests, Yan Ruoshui showed extreme desires, but he also knew that Qi Yu was just a tool for him to obtain benefits, and the two had always maintained a delicate and independent relationship.
In general, Yan Ruoshui is a thoughtful and calculating person. He clearly realized that Qi Yu's unclear feelings and work would become a burden for him. Therefore, although he has mixed feelings for Qi Yu, he always sticks to his bottom line and principles to avoid getting himself into a bigger predicament. When emotions are entangled with morality and ethics, money transactions, violations and crimes, etc., its essence is no longer so pure. Zhang Zhongping and Zeng Zhen met in a remote place, but they encountered a jungle. Zhang Zhongping used his own freedom as a shield to refute Conglin's accusations against him, but Conglin gave a more in-depth explanation.
True freedom is not to do what you want, but to understand the consequences of your choices and to be able to make correct judgments and decisions. The attitude of "I can do whatever I want" is just driven by desire, while true freedom is "I can do what I don't want to do", which requires us to have a deep understanding and control of things.
In this, there is a bottom line that cannot be crossed, and we should keep a clear head and firm principles for anyone and everything. Qi Yu became Yan Ruoshui's only.
