After hanging up the phone, Xu Wen's vague figure appeared in Li Lin's mind, with a pretty face, a high nose bridge, and a ponytail that symbolized vitality...
He was still very surprised to receive Xu Wen's message suddenly. After all, they had only met once. He thought to himself, how could this girl be so bold? Isn't she afraid that I am a liar?
He shook his head helplessly and smiled. He thought that since they came from afar, they were guests. Moreover, they came to participate in the investment promotion conference of the cotton mill. Whether it was out of personal feelings or official business, he should come forward to receive them.
It was thought that Xu Wen would come to Pingyang a day in advance like a group of other merchants, but unexpectedly, Li Lin received a call from Xu Wen the next day.
"Li Lin, I'm in Pingyang and I'm at the bus station now."
Xu Wen's cheerful voice came from the phone, catching Li Lin off guard.
"Okay, just stand at the entrance of the station and don't move. I'll come pick you up."
After saying that, Li Lin gave some instructions to Zheng Hao, got up and went downstairs.
The recent investment promotion work has been progressing smoothly, and the merchants have agreed very readily. Li Lin is still very relaxed.
He came down from the hotel, hailed a taxi, and went directly to the bus station to pick up Xu Wen.
Xu Wen was wearing a white long-sleeved T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers. She was carrying a black sports backpack on her back, which was bulging with things.
Her petite figure is very disproportionate to the huge backpack on her back, just like a kid in a cartoon carrying a backpack as big as a mountain, interesting and cute.
The taxi drivers on the roadside saw her, a little girl, struggling to carry so many things, and waved to her, "Beautiful girl, would you like a ride?"
Xu Wen smiled and waved at them, "My friend will be here to pick me up soon."
Thinking that Li Lin would be here soon, she was very excited and imagined what the first words they would say after they met.
Probably those polite words, right? For example, "Have a hard time on your journey", "Let me help you carry it", "What would you like to eat for lunch?"...
She was very happy that she would have a handsome guy accompanying her throughout this business trip, so she wouldn't be so lonely and bored.
Just as she was thinking about it, a tall figure walked towards her.
She waved her hands quickly and shouted with a smile, "Li Lin, I'm here."
Li Lin quickened his pace, walked up to her and without saying anything, he took the heavy backpack from her back, then smiled and said to her, "Let's go, I'll find you a place to stay first."
He did not ask about other people's well-being, but expressed everything directly through his actions.
Xu Wen's mind was stuck for a moment, and all the greetings she had prepared disappeared at this moment.
She stared at Li Lin carrying her backpack with her mouth slightly open, stunned, until Li Lin asked for the second time, "Let's go?"
She followed Li Lin's footsteps stupidly and sat in the back seat of the taxi that had been waiting on the roadside for a long time.
"The investment promotion conference is in two days. Why did you come early? Do you have any special mission?" Sitting in the passenger seat, Li Lin turned his head and asked curiously.
"I..." Xu Wen looked shy, her two index fingers kept touching each other, and she lied, "Oh, it was arranged by the school. They said we should get familiar with the environment first."
In fact, the reason why she arrived in Pingyang two days in advance was to find an opportunity to meet Li Lin.
She didn't know why, but she had been thinking about Li Lin day and night since she last met him at Hanjiang University. Especially the scene where he saved her in the library and he propped up the bookcase with one hand to block her, it stayed in her mind for a long time and haunted her.
Li Lin smiled and nodded, without thinking about whether what she said was reasonable or not.
When they arrived at Dongsheng Hotel, Li Lin booked a room for her. Because the front desk manager knew Li Lin, when he learned that he wanted to book a room, he booked a VIP suite without saying a word.
Xu Wen looked at the luxuriously decorated Dongsheng Hotel and sighed to herself. When going upstairs, she tugged at Li Lin's sleeve and whispered to him, "I can just stay in an ordinary hotel. The quality here is too high."
Li Lin had originally planned to put her in the city hotel, but the investment promotion conference had not officially started yet, and he was afraid that his colleagues would misunderstand if he put her there as a media reporter. So he could only arrange for her to stay in Dongsheng for the next two days.
He smiled faintly and said to Xu Wen, "It's okay, just live here peacefully, don't worry about anything else."
Xu Wen nodded obediently and said nothing more.
When she arrived at the room, she was a little dumbfounded. It was a suite with a living room, and the price of one night's stay was equivalent to that of several ordinary standard rooms.
She looked at Li Lin in surprise, wondering if he was a township official, how could he be so rich?
Li Lin felt her surprised gaze, but did not show any intention of explaining.
He put the backpack on his shoulder on the sofa and said to her, "Take a rest first. When you are ready, I will take you to lunch. I have work in the afternoon, so I can't accompany you. I will wait for you downstairs."
Li Lin smiled calmly and walked out of the room.
Xu Wen was still standing there stupidly. No matter how you looked at it, Li Lin was very graceful. The distance between them was just right, like friends, but with a little restraint.
She only brought a set of clothes to change into, and compared to those rich girls, she also had very few cosmetics. After Li Lin came downstairs, she took out all the photography equipment and daily necessities in her bag and arranged them in the closet, then washed her face, combed her hair, and went downstairs to find Li Lin.
He still had work in the afternoon, which made Xu Wen feel a little disappointed.
Two people can do a lot of things in an afternoon, but when I am left alone, I don’t know what to do.
With this melancholy mood, she went downstairs and found Li Lin.
