Two hundred and ninety-nine liberation
After four hours, the banquet finally ended, and Li Wei was exhausted.
Damn it, is this what you call eating? It's more tedious than feeding three little devils and then picking up the rice grains they drop.
Looking at the important figures gathered in twos and threes in the adjacent hall, Li Wei really wanted to find a quiet corner to secretly take off her shoes and rest her feet on the soft carpet.
For the first time in all these years, she realized how difficult it really is to work.
It seems like a distant past life, and I think I probably went through similar hardships, but I can't remember the specifics very clearly.
Of course, all of this is just wishful thinking. Not only can you not show your fatigue, but you also have to maintain a dignified and generous smile, acting as a translator for the poet next to you who is pretending not to speak Chinese. It's really damn annoying.
I don't know what happened to the poet, but after dinner, she became his personal translator, as if she were his personal assistant.
Li Wei tried her best to hide her impatience, but secretly glanced at the time on her watch. Why was time passing so slowly?
She followed the poet around a few times, not because she wanted to, but because of a task assigned by her superior—that beautiful superior. She wasn't supposed to follow that table of people anymore; she'd arranged for someone else to take care of him. She was told to do a good job. -_-
Wandering around the hall, Li Wei, if she weren't so tired, wouldn't mind strolling around with a mature man, especially since he would often utter a poem praising her, which was quite an ostentatious thing to do.
Unfortunately, poets are often born at the wrong time, appearing at times that are not very popular.
The poet suddenly stopped moving. Startled, Li Wei, who was lost in thought, almost bumped into him.
Just as she was wondering, Liao Kaiwen reached for a drink and handed it to Li Wei: "Would you like some? I've been watching you talk for a while. You should probably drink some water."
Li Wei quickly waved her hand: "Thank you. No need."
Seeing that Li Wei clearly didn't need it, he drank it himself without ceremony. However, he still lowered his voice: "If you're very tired, we can rest here for a bit. It looks like it'll be over soon."
Even a blind man could see it if Li Wei didn't say a word. If this didn't end soon, someone would die.
"Didn't you work at Ms. Chen's company? How come you're working here now?" He'd been holding this question in for ages, but hadn't found the chance to ask.
Li Wei maintained her professional smile, repeating the same words: "Who said I work at Ms. Chen's company? She's just a distant relative of my husband, nothing more."
Today, Li Wei specially wore her wedding ring, and deliberately placed her left hand, which was clasped together, on top of it, so that the simple ring could be seen.
Liao Kaiwen found it incredible: "I heard you are all university students majoring in English, and it seems you haven't graduated yet. Does this mean students in China can get married now? Or are you really clever? This method actually works for us who are used to Western customs, haha."
Li Wei -_-
It's not that she's smart, it's that he's smart, he's just being presumptuous!
However, to be honest, Li Wei really couldn't say it, as it seemed like it wouldn't be good if word got out. She only had less than six months left before graduating from university, and she had to at least get her diploma.
However, aren't the West more open? Li Wei smiled sweetly: "Although we're not officially married, we're engaged, and we'll get married as soon as we graduate."
Liao Kaiwen said "oh" and didn't say anything more. After a while, he asked again, "Can I ask you a personal question?"
Without a second thought, Li Wei replied, "No. I have no personal relationship with you, nor do I want to develop one. Why are you asking such personal questions?"
Liao Kaiwen was silent for a moment: "Is your fiancé your classmate?"
It took Li Wei two seconds to realize what had happened. She was sweating bullets. She had only thought about lying and hadn't thought about how to cover it up. But it wasn't difficult: "Childhood sweethearts."
A lie needs to contain some truth to appear more believable.
This time, Liao Kaiwen remained silent for a longer period: "Could I invite you to dinner?"
Li Wei: "I just finished eating."
I meant tomorrow night.
Li Wei: "Sorry, I don't have time."
"the day after tomorrow?"
"No."
When are you available?
"Winter break has started."
"..." Fortunately, the meeting ended soon afterward, and Li Wei was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. To be honest, the poet's aura was still very strong. If it weren't for her Da Luo being there, she really wouldn't have been able to resist the charm of this mature man.
Ah, back then, she was so smitten with someone like Kevin Liao. Too bad he's already dead in a relationship. His husband ruined so many opportunities for her! If he ever dares to cause trouble again, she'll put him on a list and give him a warning, hehe.
Li Wei got into the car outside the hotel with ease and happiness, and of course, she didn't forget to give Xu Ting a ride. Now that she's her sister-in-law, a relative.
Seeing Jiang Xiaoshi, Xiao Ning, and two other classmates still peering out of the hotel, Li Wei hesitated for a moment, but when she drove up to them, she still called out, "Want to come along?"
Jiang Xiaoshi was quite happy: "Great! I would have been embarrassed to say it if you hadn't invited me, hehe."
At this time, there was no shortage of taxis in front of the hotels; many taxis specifically waited for passengers at certain hotels and entertainment venues.
However, being able to get up close and personal with the legendary rumored figures while saving money is something no one would object to; everyone is secretly thrilled.
Suddenly, a car that was originally meant for two people was crammed with five or six, and there were even people sitting on their knees in the back.
Xiao Ning didn't get on the car, but was called to ride in their car by the beautiful translator leader. Jiang Xiaoshi revealed: "That's Xiao Ning's older sister. She works in the Ministry of Economic and Trade. I heard she's very powerful."
Everyone was surprised, as they really didn't know.
Li Wei thought about Xiao Ning's shrewdness, competence, and demeanor, and it wasn't surprising. She was a beautiful woman with education and ability; it would be strange if she wasn't formidable.
However, Xiao Ning doesn't seem to have his sister's charm; he looks like a bookish young man and seems a bit easy to bully.
Li Wei drove her car out of the hotel parking lot and quickly disappeared into the night. She didn't see a pair of eyes watching her leave from a car not far away. Without turning her head, she instructed the person in front of her: "Steven, ask Chen Juan from Shuofang about the girl who came with her last time."
Li Wei first dropped off all her classmates at the school gate, and Xu Ting, thinking about going to school the next morning, also got off the bus.
Li Wei drove home herself. The children were fast asleep, and Da Luo had also returned early, leaning against the headboard reading a book.
This guy seems to be really turning into a cultured person now. Li Wei quickly took a shower, sat on the dressing table, and looked at the big guy in the mirror while applying skincare products: "Looks like you're not sleepy. You've fallen in love with books now?"
A certain expert said: "Yes, you only realize how little you know when you need it, and you can never have too much money. I have to work hard too. Besides, I've found that books are actually quite useful. We don't have much experience now, so we can't compare to those old guys. We can only learn more and learn from them."
Li Wei laughed: "Are you leaving any room for others to survive? You've learned all the experience, and you've read more books than others, haha."
The man put down his book and said, "Hurry up, honey! I was just bored in bed and got really frustrated. I thought reading would help me sleep, but it only made me more restless. Come here and give me a break!"
Li Wei was laughing so hard: "Why don't you go out and run a few laps or punch the sandbag or something? You'll be free then, but I'll be paralyzed. I'm your dear wife, shouldn't you take good care of yourself so you can go further in life?"
The big guy, sprawled on the bed, pleaded, "You don't have to walk any further. I'll carry you. Haven't I been diligently watering you with raindrops? They say it's good for the soil. Come on, let's have a big rain!"
Li Wei -_-
