At six o'clock in the evening, when Li Xiuyuan arrived at Xiaokang Restaurant, Xing Weitao and Wan Xinxin were already there. Li Xiuyuan pushed open the door and came in, and the two stood up to greet him.
"Brother Li."
"Brother Li."
"Please sit down." Li Xiuyuan waved his hand with a smile. Seeing that the main seat was still empty, Li Xiuyuan politely said a few words and told the two to sit wherever they wanted. However, Xing Weitao and Wan Xinxin were both very self-aware and neither of them sat down anywhere.
Sometimes, the influence from childhood makes a huge difference. Children raised in such families, with the guidance and instruction of their elders, mature much faster than children from ordinary families.
Children from ordinary families might only receive advice from their elders before starting work, such as cleaning more often, being more diligent, getting along well with colleagues, and that suffering losses is a blessing, etc.
But these families had already taught them what social etiquette and interpersonal relationships were all about.
After sitting down and ordering food, everyone started chatting. Everyone knew perfectly well why this dinner was for, but even if they knew perfectly well, they still needed to find the right time to speak. If the timing wasn't right, some things just wouldn't sound right.
Whether something can be accomplished or not sometimes depends on the details.
After several rounds of drinks and dishes, Li Xiuyuan gave Wan Xinxin a wink, indicating that it was time to speak. The atmosphere was right, and if you didn't speak up when it was time, were you going to let Xing Weitao ask first?
We can't delay any longer.
Wan Xinxin raised her glass and looked at Li Xiuyuan and Xing Weitao, saying, "Brother Li, Weitao, I've always felt bad about what happened at my aunt's house in Longhu Town last time. Today, I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize to everyone again."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said, "Xin Xin, we're all classmates. You brought this up at the last gathering. If we bring it up again now, it makes Wei Tao and I seem petty. Let's not bring up the past anymore."
Li Xiuyuan seemed to be blaming him, but he easily brushed the matter aside.
Xing Weitao nodded and smiled, saying, "Xin Xin, it's all in the past. We're all classmates now."
“Exactly.” Li Xiuyuan asked, taking the opportunity to ask, “By the way, I remember your aunt’s agritainment business didn’t have all the necessary permits back then. Have they been completed now?”
Wan Xinxin was waiting for Li Xiuyuan to say this at the last gathering, but Li Xiuyuan remained silent and simply changed the subject.
But this time, Li Xiuyuan brought it up casually.
The last time he didn't ask was because Li Xiuyuan never cared about things that didn't concern him, but this time he asked because Wan Xinxin had explicitly asked him for help.
Upon hearing this, Wan Xinxin shook her head with a wry smile and said, "Not yet. I was thinking of asking Weitao for help, but Weitao also has his own difficulties, so this matter is still being delayed."
Li Xiuyuan gave Wan Xinxin a deep look. This woman was not simple either. Look how well she said it. It was clearly Xing Weitao who was unwilling to help, but in Wan Xinxin's mouth, it became that Xing Weitao had his own difficulties.
