308 was educated by the police.
Li Wei was somewhat unhappy, but she believed that Wei Yan was not a big deal as long as she worked hard. Li Wei couldn't say anything.
After lunch, Li Wei was about to lie down for a while to read a book when Luo Er arrived, looking noticeably downcast. Li Wei couldn't help but worry: "What's wrong? Are you unhappy that we didn't let you be a leader? Is it really that big of a deal? If you're capable, you can achieve something. We'd love for you to take on a leading role. We can give you opportunities, but you have to prove your abilities yourself."
Luo Er smiled wryly: "Don't say anymore, Sister Xiaoming. If you keep talking, I'll crawl into a mouse hole. I've heard my family talk about how you earn money on your own before, but I didn't really pay attention. I always thought you were living so comfortably because of your family's support, more so than anyone I've ever seen. Yesterday, when my dad told me, I still didn't quite believe it. But when I called my mom and asked about Xiaohui, I realized that you're the one who earns all the money in the company. Compared to you, what do I have to complain about? I'm thinking of going back to the company and starting from the bottom. If you trust me, I'll come back and help you in the future. What do you say?"
Li Wei was a little taken aback. How did Xiao Er suddenly understand? She paused for a moment before coming to her senses and quickly said, "You can go wherever you want, as long as you are truly determined to take things one step at a time. What do we have to worry about? If you continue with this attitude, can Dad and I say anything to you? But you don't need to think that way just because I invested in the company. No matter which company you run, it's not easy. Since you didn't start from scratch, it's both an opportunity and a challenge. As for how to do it, you're so smart, I don't need to tell you much. You're a capable person, you'll figure it out yourself after thinking about it. But have you thought it through? I'm going to talk about a joint venture. It's also an opportunity. You can learn a lot from Shen Tao. Don't underestimate Shen Tao just because he only graduated from junior high school. He's always been working hard. If you don't believe me, go to where he lives. The books he reads are stacked higher than you. Now, in terms of management skills, you're really far behind him."
Luo Er was indeed somewhat tempted. It was obvious that he could learn more at Minghua, but he was too embarrassed to stay because he had lost face yesterday.
Seeing Luo Er's expression, Li Wei immediately understood and made a decision for him: "Forget it, I can tell what you're thinking just by looking at you. You can stay here, pack your things, and go be Shen Tao's assistant tomorrow. You can start by attending this meeting, and if there's any further possibility, you can stay with him. If there's no chance, we'll arrange for you to work in a junior department. What do you think?"
This was already the best possible outcome, much better than Luo Er had expected. He immediately nodded happily in agreement; otherwise, he would have had to go back home and live with his father.
Luo Er had spent some time with his father, but to be honest, he didn't really like being too close to him. If he did anything that displeased his father, he would immediately get a severe scolding, which was too embarrassing.
Unfortunately, the other party was his own father, so there was nothing he could do, and he dared not do anything about it.
Li Wei is much better than her father.
However, Luo Er still had a problem: "Sister Xiaoming, you see, Wei Yan went to the company by herself. I didn't ask her to go. I don't want to work in the same company as her. It feels awkward. What should we do?"
So that girl acted on her own after all. Li Wei smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about that. Just mind your own business. If she's doing a good job, let her stay. Otherwise, take her away right now, understand?"
Li Wei said the last sentence while staring directly at Luo Er, her expression very serious. She genuinely didn't want to get involved too much. Luo Er was her brother, and she wouldn't have any ulterior motives.
As for Wei Yan, it seems she's not an easy person to deal with.
Li Wei would feel wronged if her own company were to be angered by someone. Therefore, she was also warning Luo Er.
Luo Er had been bullied by Li Wei since childhood, so he was quite swayed by her tactics. He immediately said, "Okay. Don't worry. If she doesn't behave, I'll make her go home and cook. Her job is a small matter; we don't need her money. But if you get angry, my brother will beat me to death when he gets back."
Li Wei sneered: "Good that you know. Do a good job."
Luo Er left feeling relieved, and Li Wei also felt relieved. She took a good nap, read a book for a while, and then went to pick up her child.
Fearing that Da Luo might call that night, Li Wei didn't go out. After thinking for a while, she called Shen Tao's dormitory, which was the villa her cousin had bought, to ask Li Lianhui what he had been busy with lately and why he hadn't come over.
As it turned out, Shen Tao answered the phone. Li Lianhui hadn't been back for a while. Shen Tao went to check on him and found that Li Lianhui and some classmates had rented an office outside. They were working on computers day and night, so engrossed that they didn't even have time to eat. Apparently, they had been sleeping there the whole time.
However, Shen Tao was also thoughtful. He arranged for an aunt to cook for them and deliver lunch to them every day, which would at least reduce the number of times they went hungry.
Li Wei was heartbroken and furious when she heard this. Li Lianhui hadn't even told her before leaving. He really didn't respect her. She recalled Lao Luo's lament that once a son grows up, he has no say in his father's affairs. It was absolutely true.
He was torn between waiting for Da Luo's call and wanting to see his younger brother.
I stayed up until dark, then thought, "Oh well, one more night won't make a difference. I'll just go to school tomorrow morning."
As a result, Da Luo didn't call that night. Li Wei waited until midnight, but finally couldn't stay awake any longer and fell into a deep sleep.
She was clearly not well-rested the next day. Remembering that she was going to see Li Lianhui, she ate a quick bite, saw the three children off, and headed straight for the place Shen Tao had told her about.
Li Wei's school was located in the east and west of the city, respectively, with the Polytechnic University in the east.
Li Wei came out relatively early and quickly found the university. The address Shen Tao gave her was on the road outside the school gate, less than 500 meters away.
Li Wei drove slowly along the road, looking for a storefront on the second floor facing the street, which supposedly had a sign for Lianhaiwei Computer Company.
Li Wei quickly spotted the sign, stopped the car, removed the keys, slung her backpack over her shoulder, and got out. She absolutely had to carry the backpack; Da Luo had sternly warned her never to leave any bag in an empty car. Getting her car broken into and her bag stolen was a minor issue; if she happened to witness the crime, it could easily provoke the perpetrator into attacking her.
Therefore, Li Wei remembered this rule: never leave your bag in an empty car.
We can't give others a reason to commit crimes.
On the first floor was a breakfast stall selling fried dough sticks, which were frying golden-brown dough sticks. On one side was a large bucket filled with steaming hot tofu pudding. At least Li Wei was reassured that Li Lianhui's breakfast was taken care of.
The breakfast stall owner, assuming Li Wei wanted breakfast, asked, "Would you like soy milk or tofu pudding?"
Li Wei smiled and said, "I'm going to the second floor to look for someone. Is anyone upstairs?"
The boss's enthusiasm had clearly waned, and he said dismissively, "They didn't come today. They usually come after ten o'clock. They all left last night."
Li Wei said thank you, and after thinking about it, she decided that since she was already here, she might as well go in and take a look, otherwise she would always feel uneasy.
She drove the car to the entrance of the university and, seeing that no one was stopping her, drove straight in. She had only been here once with Da Luo and vaguely remembered that there was a parking lot behind the main office building for school leaders or visiting vehicles.
After finding a parking lot and parking the car, it wasn't far from Li Lianhui's dormitory; it was just across a basketball court.
Since it's a dormitory for senior students, the rules aren't very strict, and it seems that the rules regarding girls entering boys' dormitories aren't very strict either.
Li Lianhui lived on the first floor. Li Wei greeted the building manager and quickly found Li Lianhui's dormitory. Before she could knock, a boy came out with a basin in his eyes, looking drowsy. When he saw a girl, he immediately perked up. However, he quickly recognized Li Wei, turned around, opened the door, and shouted inside, "Li Lianhui, your sister is here. If you're not dressed, hurry up and put on some clothes. Pay attention to your image."
Turning back to Li Wei, he said somewhat obsequiously, "Hehe, big sister, you've come to see our eighth roommate so early! Hehe, you might not remember, I'm the fifth roommate, my name is..."
Li Wei was both amused and exasperated. She didn't understand why he was being so obsequious, and his laughter sounded strange, especially that "elder sister"—it just felt so awkward.
When did she gain a bunch of younger brothers?
Soon everyone inside was dressed, and Li Wei was let in.
Li Wei almost fainted from the stench as soon as she entered. What was this smell?! Li Wei glanced around and saw that although the dormitory looked a bit dirty and messy, it was still a place for people to stay. At least the boys were all lively and energetic.
Li Lianhui also managed to open his eyes and sit up, wearing a T-shirt and shorts.
Li Wei looked around carefully and found that everything was fine and there were no changes. Relieved, she quickly got down to business, as she really didn't want to stay in the room any longer: "Come to my place for a meal tonight or in the next day or two. Don't forget, I don't have anything else to do. I'll be going now."
Li Lianhui mumbled an "Mmm" in his sleep, and after seeing his sister leave, he collapsed and went back to sleep. Last night, the few of them had been busy in the dormitory until midnight and hadn't slept for more than a few hours.
Seeing that her younger brother still looked decent, Li Wei felt much more relaxed. She hurried along, but before she knew it, she had run a red light and was called to the side of the road by the police for a talking-to.
Li Wei was getting anxious. Seeing that the police officer was about to use her as a negative example to reprimand her, she quickly pleaded in a soft voice, "Officer, please, just issue the fine quickly. I have something urgent to attend to."
The police officer became even more displeased upon hearing this: "What kind of attitude is this, young lady? Safety comes first! What's the rush? Now you're in a hurry? What were you doing earlier? Let me tell you, issuing you a fine isn't our main purpose. Our ultimate goal is to make those of you who don't follow traffic rules learn from this and raise your awareness of traffic safety. That's our objective."
Li Wei was frantic. She really didn't want to hear the police officer's motives, but she had no choice but to listen. She listened to the lecture in a panic, paid the "tuition fee," and left without even taking the ticket.
