The next morning, several cars set off together, first going to the city to attend the celebration banquet hosted by Lao Li for Li Yu and Wen Xi, and also to thank everyone.
Liu Nanshan and Gu Xuelan stayed at home and did not go out. When Liu Nanshan received a call from Lao Li, he explained the situation. Anyway, the decoration would be completed in a few days, and Lao Li did not have any projects to take on in the near future. So the two of them made an appointment alone. Lao Li also said that he would come over with Lao Lin to take a look in the next two days.
The three little guys were also left at home. After much consideration, Liu Wangxue decided not to bring them with her, worried that there would be hot springs, outings, and New Year's Eve activities, and if one of them was not watched or taken care of, something unexpected would happen.
Xu Qingsong drove his own car, Liu Wangxue sat in the passenger seat, Du Yunkai and Wenxi followed them. Tao Huayu drove his own car, with freshly made cakes and cookies on the back seat, which he would eat before dinner while chatting, and also promote his brother-in-law.
Richard and Jin Zhaofei went with the car rented by the studio. Not many people signed up for the team building, about one-third. Du Yunkai had someone contact the car rental early in the morning, and rented a total of three vans. Two of them came before dawn, taking employees who were going on tours or going home to the high-speed rail station and the airport respectively. The third car came a little later and took the remaining ten people to the hot spring resort first.
The restaurant that Lao Li booked is quite famous in the city. It is also large in scale and usually hosts birthday parties, wedding banquets, and graduation banquets.
It was past eleven when the four of them arrived. They saw flowers and signs at the entrance of the hotel. It was the younger generation holding a birthday party for the elderly in the family. The sign had the name, blessings, and floor instructions.
Li Yu had already met them at the door.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, when she and Wenxi were video chatting, Liu Wangxue was very happy because she saw that Li Yu was getting better and better. If she used the word "energetic" to describe him last time, after more than two months of training, she could add another word, "high-spirited and vigorous".
Only seeing it with your own eyes can truly feel that Li Yu's change is like a rebirth. Although the face is still the same face, the height is still the same small, but the temperament and demeanor are completely different in every gesture. At a glance, the shy and lack of confidence in the past has disappeared without a trace. However, in the generous praise of Liu Wangxue and Wenxi, her ears still blushed.
After spending a few months together, Wenxi has become very familiar with him and has a very good relationship with him. She has always treated him like a younger brother and couldn't help pinching his face to tease him when she saw him being shy.
Du Yunkai pulled Wen Xi's hand and said, "Be careful in public."
"Can't I say hello to my brother?" Wen Xi shook him off and put her hand on Li Yu's shoulder and walked in. "Come on, lead the way for your sister."
Du Yunkai's face immediately turned a little ugly.
Liu Wangxue laughed at him and whispered to Xu Qingsong: "Hey, I'm jealous~"
Xu Qingsong smiled and patted Du Yunkai on the back: "Let's go in."
Liu Wangxue said to Du Yunkai sincerely: "Don't worry, he is my younger brother."
Du Yunkai thought, how could he not know? If there really was something going on, it would have happened in Country Y a long time ago. He just suddenly couldn't control himself.
Tao Huayu finally reacted. He raised his index finger of the hand holding the thing and pointed in front of him, then at Du Yunkai, and asked, "What is this?"
Liu Wangxue whispered to him, "We just got together."
"Wow," Tao Huayu raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, and said, "It's balanced."
"Balanced?" Liu Wangxue was confused. How could a chemical equation be balanced? She searched around, "Where is it? Is there anything like this in the dining area?"
Tao Huayu was unfathomable: "No, it's just a kind of literature."
"Oh——" When he said that, Liu Wangxue understood and asked him with a smile, "Have you watched a lot of complaining videos?"
Tao Huayu also laughed. He didn't know why he thought of this: "Oh, routine, all routine."
The private room that Old Li booked was on the same floor as the birthday boy's. When they went upstairs, Tao Huayu joked that Liu Wangxue was really lucky: "You're on the same floor as an old lady who's celebrating her 80th birthday, and today happens to be your birthday. What does this mean?"
"What does it mean?" Li Yu and Wen Xi turned around and asked at the same time. Liu Wangxue also turned to look at him.
Tao Huayu laughed twice and said to Liu Wangxue, "This means that you are lucky enough to live to at least 80 years old in the future."
"How can you talk like that?" Wenxi laughed at him. "Everyone wishes you a long life, but you've lived to be eighty. It's neither a blessing nor a curse."
Tao Huayu argued: "I said 'at least', please don't take it out of context and slander me."
Wenxi asked Li Yu: "Did he say that?"
Li Yu nodded: "I said it."
Wenxi still refused to accept it: "So, if you put it that way, eighty is the bottom line. Even if it exceeds one hour a day, it is considered 'at least'..."
Tao Huayu was really convinced and immediately knelt down to apologize: "I'm a rude person. I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that..."
Xu Qingsong lowered his head and added in Liu Wangxue's ear: "Live a long life."
Liu Wangxue took his arm and smiled, "Got it."
As they were talking, they reached the door of the private room. Li Yu pushed the door open and shouted inside: "Dad, Sister Wenxi and the others are here."
The conversations in the room quieted down, and Lao Li quickly stood up from his seat to greet them.
For this dinner, Lao Li not only invited Liu Wangxue, Wenxi and others, but also invited several friends who were close to him. They were all from the engineering team with him, and some of them had watched Li Yu grow up. He asked everyone who was free to come. In addition, he went back home in advance and invited Li Yu's grandparents and close relatives to come.
Lao Li's friend joked, "Why don't you just invite Xiaoyu's university teachers to a table as well? When Xiaoyu finished the college entrance examination, it was called a graduation banquet. What are you calling it this time? It looks like a graduation banquet to me, a graduation banquet for students who are stepping out of school and into society."
Old Li did not refute, and felt that what the old man said made some sense. He just didn't want to invite the teachers in the university for the time being. He thought that after Li Yu's study abroad was settled next year, he would invite the teachers to dinner to thank them for their training.
There were quite a lot of people, so there were four tables in total. Lao Li made his reservation a little late, so the big private rooms were all gone, so the restaurant removed the removable partitions between the small private rooms, and it became a long hall.
The banquet hadn't started yet and the wine hadn't been drunk yet, but Old Li was already getting excited. He pulled Liu Wangxue, Wenxi and the other three people to introduce them to everyone solemnly, and then there was another round of greetings.
After the greetings, the four of them sat at the main table with Li Yu and the grandparents. Old Li went to the door and called the waiter to serve the food. (End of this chapter)
