"Brother Li, everyone, let me toast you all. I didn't let you have a good time last time, so this is my fault. Consider this a toast as an apology," Wan Xinxin said as she stood up in the private room.
Li Xiuyuan glanced at Wan Xinxin. He knew that Wan Xinxin was referring to the unpleasant incident that occurred during their last trip to the farmhouse because of his uncle's affairs. But that was all in the past, so why bring it up again?
How much time has passed?
After Wan Xinxin finished speaking, everyone looked at Li Xiuyuan. Regardless of what they thought, they definitely wanted to hear Li Xiuyuan's opinion first.
The reason these people were able to get together wasn't a matter of loyalty or friendship, but rather that they all understood social etiquette and social dynamics.
Li Xiuyuan waved his hand with a smile: "It's been so long, why are you still thinking about it? We would have forgotten about it long ago if you hadn't mentioned it. Wan Xinxin is just too serious, don't you all think?"
As Li Xiuyuan spoke, everyone laughed and echoed his sentiments, saying that Wan Xinxin was taking it too seriously and that the matter was long over.
After drinking a glass of wine, Wan Xinxin sat down again. She knew that everyone said they had moved on, but whether they had truly moved on in their hearts was something only they themselves knew.
Anyway, the paperwork for my uncle and aunt's agritainment business hasn't been completed yet.
It's not that anyone is deliberately blocking her, but rather that Xing Weitao is unwilling to help. Whenever she asks Xing Weitao, he says things like it's not appropriate to get involved, and he just doesn't want to help. This was already the case last winter.
It's April or May now, the weather is getting warmer, and we've already invested money in this agritainment business, so we can't just leave it idle.
In addition, her father had mentioned this matter several times, and each time he did so with a worried expression. Wan Xinxin didn't want to pay attention to those two tactless uncles and aunts, but she also had to consider her father's feelings.
That's why he thought he could let the matter drop at this dinner party.
She thought that as long as Li Xiuyuan said something, it would be over, and she could also ask if the procedures were complete.
Xing Weitao would definitely help later, but Li Xiuyuan only said the first half of the sentence, without mentioning or even asking whether the procedures had been completed. Wan Xinxin had no choice but to accept it.
During lunch, Li Xiuyuan toasted Xing Weitao separately. Xing Weitao and Lu Ting worked at the same company, and Li Xiuyuan had inquired about Lu Ting's situation from Xing Weitao before.
Xing Weitao and Li Xiuyuan were very polite to each other. He also knew a little about it; Li Xiuyuan had a good relationship with their bureau chief, Zhou Yutang, and that this might come in handy sometime. Of course, he also had connections in his family.
But who can have too many connections? And often, things aren't decided in one fell swoop, but rather through the influence of multiple parties, and things are accomplished little by little.
After dinner, Li Xiuyuan didn't intend to take a taxi back. He planned to take a walk to sober up. Besides, the restaurant wasn't far from the county government's residential compound, so he planned to go and check out the house. He hadn't been there for a while and needed to open the windows to let in some fresh air.
After Li Xiuyuan strolled away, everyone who was supposed to take a taxi left. Wan Xinxin waited until everyone had left before chasing after Li Xiuyuan in the direction he had gone.
"Brother Li." Wan Xinxin caught up breathlessly. Li Xiuyuan turned around and looked at Wan Xinxin with some confusion. Had he forgotten something?
