Chapter 222 Dora's Broken Heart
So before Christmas, Zhang Wei was busy in the laboratory. After all, as assistants, they worked so hard, so Zhang Wei had to keep up.
In fact, most of the work before the results are produced is very mechanical and repetitive, with failure and starting over again and again, which can really train one's character.
Zhang Wei would inevitably feel annoyed later on, and at this time, an experienced assistant would tell her that it was common for many people to repeat an experiment tens of thousands of times.
In this way, through repeated experiences, she gradually learned to face failure with a normal mind.
Although there is no result yet, there is always a holiday during Christmas. Zhang Wei originally planned to pack up and return to London immediately, but then he received a message from Dora saying that she was coming to New York.
Zhang Wei could only go back a few days later, after all, she hadn't seen Dora for a long time.
After picking up Dora at the airport, before they could even greet her, Dora handed her a gold-plated invitation.
"What?" Zhang Wei asked with some confusion.
"I came back just to participate in this, but I've been away for so long that I don't know anyone here. Will you come with me?"
Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "You know I never get involved in this. My father's business never requires us to socialize."
"Just think of it as accompanying me. Otherwise, I have to leave again the day after tomorrow, and then we will have less time to meet."
"I didn't bring a dress—"
"I'll go with you. There's still time. Let's go now!"
Then Dora took Zhang Wei to a private studio under a big brand to choose a dress. Zhang Wei had no choice but to follow her.
"This dress suits you very well, like a mermaid!" praised the designer.
Zhang Wei pulled off the silver suspender skirt that was very close to her body. The material was very thin, and she felt like she was not wearing any clothes. She shook her head and was about to change it, but Dora stopped her:
"This one, listen to me, it's perfect for your figure. I've seen this dress before, but my shoulders are too broad for it. You have straight and delicate shoulders, so there's nothing wrong with it!"
Zhang Wei looked at herself in the mirror and it seemed that she hadn't dressed up for a long time. After all, she spent a lot of time in the laboratory wearing a white coat. Even Emma said that she was becoming less and less interested in dressing up.
This time, when I took a quick look, I found myself in the mirror a little unfamiliar. It seemed like I was still a little girl before, but I had grown up without realizing it.
However, the grown-up her is not the same as in her previous life. In her previous life, she had a gentle oval face. Now her cheeks have lost their youthfulness and have some sharp edges. Her eyes are also more determined and bright. Overall, Zhang Wei is quite satisfied with her current appearance.
Because she was in a hurry to get to the interview, Zhang Wei didn't bring any jewelry with her, so she used her credit card to buy new styles from the designer's display. She looked radiant when she put on the whole set.
Zhang Wei suddenly found some fun in dressing herself up. When Dora was trying on clothes, she enthusiastically ordered several dresses. Finally, she remembered that she didn't have much time to attend the cocktail party, so she saved the money in the card.
Since there was still some time before the dinner, they ate some food prepared by the studio in advance, and then a car came to pick them up to take them to the dinner venue.
On the way, Zhang Wei suddenly remembered to ask, "What kind of cocktail party is this?"
"I'm not sure about the details, but it's definitely commercial in nature, and it might not be useless to you. Aren't you developing some medicine? If you get more exposure to these things, you might be able to find someone to invest in them!"
"It's too early to say that now. If there really is any result, I don't need to look for it. Someone will naturally come to me."
"That's true. Just treat it as a fun outing. You're stuck in the lab every day, so busy you've never had a boyfriend. Maybe this time you'll meet one."
"You play every day, but I haven't seen you have a boyfriend," Zhang Wei replied immediately.
Duo La stretched out a finger and waved it twice and said, "Then you are wrong!"
"Ah, you got a boyfriend and didn't even tell me!"
"I was planning to tell you, but we broke up," Dora said with a hint of regret in her tone.
"Why?!"
"I can't possibly find a quiet life in a small city with him, and he can't accept my busy schedule every day. So remember to find someone with the same interests and background as you, otherwise it will only add to the sadness!"
"So where did you meet? It definitely wasn't at the cocktail party."
"You're right. I was a little drunk that day and was walking by the bridge to get some fresh air. He thought I was going to jump into the river and tried to persuade me all night."
Zhang Wei: "It's quite romantic."
"Apart from the romance that day, we had arguments afterwards. Fortunately, it didn't last too long. We both deserve better!"
Zhang Wei said seriously: "Yes, you deserve someone better. Next time, remember not to look for a boyfriend on the street."
In fact, it is very difficult for Zhang Wei to fall in love with someone she doesn't know. When faced with the unknown, what she thinks of is uncertainty rather than fun.
If she meets someone on the street who keeps talking to her, she will definitely think that person is mentally ill and stay away from him.
She may lack the eyes to discover beauty, so she doesn't believe in love at first sight.
Seeing that Dora was still a little depressed, Zhang Wei asked, "Is he handsome?"
Dora nodded.
"Think about it, if a 40-year-old bearded man persuaded you by the bridge, would you fall in love with him?"
Dora shook her head.
"So your love at first sight was based on his handsomeness. In reality, he wasn't that attractive to you. If you don't believe me, think of three good qualities about him. Can you come up with any?"
“Patience and gentleness”
"Was he still patient and gentle with you before the breakup?"
"No," Dora shook her head at the memory.
"So these are all illusions. They're the good side he presents to outsiders when you don't know him well. You should look for someone who maintains patience and gentleness at all times, rather than just a temporary facade."
"Vera, I have to say, you convinced me. Thank you. I don't seem to have so many regrets now!"
Zhang Wei then turned around and smiled secretly. What young boy would not feel pity when seeing a beautiful woman standing by the river? Dora must be pretty if she likes her. They would not break up unless their conflicts were irreconcilable. She just followed Dora's words to let her see more clearly.
They were talking so much that they didn't notice they had already arrived. Zhang Wei only felt that there seemed to be some noise outside. Just as she was about to open the door and go down, Dora stopped her:
"Wait, Vera, who knows which upstart has called the media here? Let's wait until someone opens the door before we go out!"
Zhang Wei looked out the window and realized that their car was parked at a section of the red carpet. It looked like some important entertainment industry banquet.
