The drinking party lasted a long time in the evening, but not much was consumed.

It seemed that the three of them did not get together for drinking;

Alcohol is an emotional accelerator. It can make happy people doubly happy and make sad people cry secretly.

Although Li Lin and Xia Fengyu have a large age gap, they have basically the same values. They were so enjoying their chat that they even ignored Cheng Wei's existence for a while.

Although Cheng Wei was ignored, he did not feel lost at all. Instead, he was happy from the bottom of his heart to see Li Lin and Xia Fengyu getting along well.

Although Xia Fengyu is not a particularly high-ranking official in Yanjing, he is definitely a special cadre!

He holds the power to supervise cadres in all provinces. As long as he speaks, the top leaders of all provinces, no matter which province they are, have to give him face!

Cheng Wei thought that Li Lin might need such a person one day, and it would be a good thing to get to know him and make friends with him!

Xia Fengyu, who has been in officialdom for a long time, has sufficient awareness and sensitivity.

From the moment Li Lin stepped into this drinking party, he had already determined that Li Lin was not an ordinary person!

Just imagine, how could it be reasonable for two ministerial-level leaders to accompany a section-level cadre for dinner and drinks?

Cheng Wei didn't invite anyone else but only called Li Lin over. This is enough to show that Li Lin is definitely an extraordinary person.

As for what kind of extraordinary thing it was, Xia Fengyu couldn't guess for a moment...

But this did not prevent him from paying attention to Li Lin.

He even gave Li Lin his private phone number on the spot and told him to call him if he had any problems. No matter what it was, no matter how big it was, as long as it did not violate the principles and he could have a say, he would never refuse!

Li Lin was very surprised. He knew very well that senior cadres like Xia Fengyu held enormous power.

As long as he says a word, even Wang Jin has to give him enough face.

Therefore, in Li Lin's opinion, Xia Fengyu's promise is more valuable than a mountain of gold!

What the hell is Jinshan? It is valuable only when people need it, and it is just a pile of scrap metal when they don't need it.

But a reliable relationship is different, it can save lives at critical moments!

It was already 11 o'clock in the evening when we returned to Handan University.

Li Lin tiptoed into the room, afraid of making any noise and waking up the sleeping Xu Wen.

He just entered the room and found that the bedroom light was on.

Xu Wen hasn't slept yet.

Li Lin walked into the bedroom and saw Xu Wen leaning against the head of the bed reading a historical novel.

She was so engrossed in watching that Li Lin asked her why she was still awake so late.

She suddenly woke up, and when she saw Li Lin coming back, she excitedly put down the book in her hand, jumped out of the bed, pounced on Li Lin, and hung on Li Lin like a monkey.

Li Lin held her with both hands, turned around on the spot, and asked her, "If I don't come back, can't you sleep?"

Xu Wen leaned on Li Lin's shoulder, nodded vigorously and said, "Well, I was afraid that you would get drunk and couldn't find the way home. I was a little worried about you, so I couldn't sleep."

Unknowingly, Xu Wen's dormitory became her and Li Lin's "home".

This made Li Lin feel very warm in his heart.

Xu Wen was wearing very little, and Li Lin was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he quickly picked her up and tucked her into bed.

"I'll go take a shower. If you're tired, you can go to sleep. Don't you have classes tomorrow?"

As he spoke, Li Lin began to undress.

Xu Wen said, "There are no classes anymore. The students are on holiday."

"No wonder the school has been so quiet these past two days. Look at me. I was so busy that I even forgot what day and month it was. That's right! In just over half a month, it will be the Chinese New Year." Li Lin suddenly realized that he was so busy with Lu Chengze's case that he even forgot the date.

Xu Wen curled up in bed obediently and reminded Li Lin, "Don't forget to go home with me for the New Year. I have already told my parents. They are looking forward to your arrival as their son-in-law."

"I won't forget it." Li Lin said with a smile, "How could I forget such a big thing..."

He said so, but it was only when Xu Wen reminded him tonight that he suddenly remembered that he had promised Xu Wen to visit her parents in Yanjing.

Men and women have the same head, but sometimes it's strange that women can remember many things, but when men get busy, they only remember work.

The big and small things at home always require women to remind them tirelessly in order for them to remember them, such as the water pipe is broken today, the sewer is blocked tomorrow... If the woman doesn't say it, the man will forget about it when he gets busy.

Of course, visiting Xu Wen's parents is much more important than repairing the water pipes and cannot be compared. Li Lin felt a little guilty. How could he just forget about this?

"Are you going back to Pingyang soon? Arrange your work and come back to Yanjing with me. You can't come back in just one or two days, right?" Xu Wen asked with concern. She wanted Li Lin to stay with her for a few more days and didn't want him to be obsessed with work when he arrived in Yanjing.

At this time, Li Lin had already gone into the bathroom to wash up.

Hearing Xu Wen's voice, Li Lin rinsed off the cleanser foam on his face, looked up at the mirror, thought for a while and said, "Didn't I get fired? I have no work arrangements now, and no one has notified me to go back to Pingyang or Shannan. I don't know how the city will arrange for me next. This is a good opportunity, so I'll take advantage of this time to accompany you."

Yes, Li Lin is now free from his duties. Before the municipal party committee makes new arrangements for him, he has plenty of time to spend with Xu Wen.

Thinking of this, Xu Wen's eyes lit up, her face full of excitement and sweetness. But suddenly she thought, would this be too selfish?

Li Lin is currently at a low point in her career. Although her brother Xu Yilong asked Secretary Wang Jin to plead for her, who knows how long it will take to find a new job for Li Lin.

Li Lin is a workaholic, and who knows how frustrated he must be right now.
