Chapter 7. Wenxi's statement in Chapter 7 is indeed true. ...
Wenxi's statement is true.
She and Li Junchuan were in a free-love relationship on campus; Li Fujing acted first and foremost, without even asking his family for their consent.
The family doesn't have any expectations or preconceived notions about the child's feelings; as long as they're happy, that's enough, she said.
Listening from the side, Li Li secretly thought: Why don't you intervene? If this continues, Li Zhoudu might really go crazy.
Li Zhoudu glanced at her, noticing her slightly resentful expression, put down his wine glass, and slowly spoke: "You're probably cursing me in your heart, aren't you?"
Li Li immediately straightened her back and said with great righteousness, "I wouldn't dare. How powerful are you now? You're the one who has the final say at home."
Seeing her petty expression, he sneered, "You ran away from home after just a few words. What are you afraid of?"
Li Li stubbornly remained silent, so Li Zhoudu asked again, "Why did you ask Xie Zongfang about your promotion?"
Feeling that she hadn't gained the upper hand, she didn't want to ask for help at this moment, so she said in a tone that suggested he was being nosy, "Why does he tell you everything?"
"What do you think?" Li Zhoudu tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "How long do you still have? You can get it cut again?"
"oops!"
"Will you tell me or not? If not, then forget it."
Li Li was momentarily speechless, but decided it was better to keep quiet for now and said, "It's my colleague who can't get a permanent position. Does Wan Jing currently have any staffing gaps in its procedures?"
Li Zhoudu said, "Oh, so that's it."
Wanjing outsources its own company website to an IT company, and only two or three people are stationed internally to handle daily operations and maintenance.
"If your colleagues are willing, they can come to Wanjing to relax and receive a salary and social security contributions, but there's not much room for personal advancement. If they want to work for other companies, we can also help them submit their resumes and put in a good word for them."
Anyway, it's better than blindly sending out applications everywhere.
He said, "Go ask your friend first."
Li Li nodded.
Li Zhoudu glanced at her and said, "I'm all better now, aren't I?"
Li Li said arrogantly, "It's alright, nothing to be proud of."
Li Zhoudu glanced at her clothes from head to toe and said critically, "You're wearing this outfit with a belt on, you look like an ant."
Li Li couldn't take it anymore and retorted angrily, "I have a slim waist! You're the one who's dressed ugly! You look like the Black Impermanence."
However, she immediately realized that she shouldn't have said something inappropriate in such a situation, so she quickly covered her mouth and spat out the unlucky words with a "pui, pui, pui" sound.
Li Zhoudu was amused by her and said, "Silly cat."
However, this means the ice has been broken successfully.
During the meal, Li Junchuan and Wen Xi held hands and toasted the guests, their deep affection as always.
During this time, Li Li and Li Zhoudu were specially called together to meet a woman of similar age to Wen Xi. She had a classical air about her, wearing a dark blue cheongsam and with her hair in a bun.
Wenxi introduced them, saying, "This is Zhoudu, this is Li Li, and this is Xiaomao'er."
The woman smiled slightly at them and said, "Hello."
Then she said softly to Wenxi, "I'll finish this glass of wine and leave in a bit. You guys keep going."
Wenxi didn't insist on keeping him, and simply said okay.
On the way back, Li Li turned around curiously. It was the first time she had seen this person, and she asked, "Who is that?"
Li Zhoudu, holding a wine glass, one hand in his pocket, said, "I don't know him. No introduction means there's no need to know."
No matter how angry she was during the conversation, the results of this chat with Li Zhoudu were still remarkable. This way, even if You Chang doesn't find a suitable job for the time being, she can still find a place to stay with Wan Jing.
However, before Li Li could ask You Chang for his resume, another seat next to You Chang became empty.
Ou Ning has successfully connected with the leaders of other business units, achieving his goal indirectly, and his personnel file has been transferred to the group.
Li Li: !!! This works?!
You Chang was a little frustrated. She said that if she had known it could be like this, she would have tried other opportunities within Yanqi as well. But now she didn't have much time to build new connections.
Li Li already had an idea. He patted her arm and said, "Wait for my news."
When Fang Xuan got home after class, Li Li was already packing her personal belongings.
Once she reconciled with Li Zhoudu, she would have to move back home and couldn't keep bothering others, even though Fang Xuan wouldn't mind on her own.
Although she stayed for a short time, she left many things in every nook and cranny of the house.
Fang Xuan brought over a face mask from the refrigerator and asked, "Did you like the one you used last time? I'll give you two."
Li Li agreed and reached out to take it from her hand.
Fang Xuan squinted and suddenly noticed that the phone on the table behind her was still connected to a video call. On the other end was Tan Yi, who had already started school and was doing group work.
There seemed to be a lot of people on his side, but Li Li thought their conversation was too noisy, so she muted it.
Fang Xuan was speechless. She said, "You two have been looking at each other's faces for over ten years. Aren't you tired of it?"
Li Li thought about it and realized that after seeing the same face for so many years, the concepts of beauty and ugliness had indeed gradually become blurred.
Only when I occasionally see photos of Tan Yi or his friends posted on social media do I feel a sudden surge of admiration for his handsomeness.
But it would feel strange not to see it for a few days.
Fang Xuan gave a thumbs up: ...No wonder you two were able to have a four-year long-distance relationship.
When Fang Xuan entered Sper, it was the first year that this well-known international high school in S City established its domestic branch.
Her family heard from somewhere that the new branch not only had lower admission scores but also better teachers, so they spent a lot of money to send her there.
Back then, Fang Xuan was an honest child, far less flamboyant and carefree than she is now.
Every classmate around me comes from a well-off family, especially the international department just one floor away. The children there are like golden eggs, each one more precious than the last.
They offer elite-oriented small-class teaching, and have a variety of interest groups such as a choir, hockey club, and band, as well as more flexible personal time.
In comparison, those who take the national college entrance examination in China seem to have a particularly tough time.
A few months after the start of the semester that year, a post went viral on campus, saying that there was a very handsome but scumbag guy in the international department who was cheating on his girlfriends, having all sorts of love triangles, and was even exposed by his ex-girlfriend for cheating on his grades by spending money on in-game purchases.
Looking back now, the rumors at school were probably a mix of exaggeration and artistic embellishment. But at the time, everyone was overwhelmed by their studies, and they were all excited when they heard some juicy gossip. Fang Xuan was especially eager to follow the trend and go see what was going on.
As it turned out, the legendary super handsome scumbag did not show up at school. Instead, Fang Xuan lost her campus card when she went to watch the commotion.
Extreme joy can turn into sorrow.
She slumped dejectedly at her desk, planning to get it replaced during her lunch break, when suddenly a classmate held out their phone and asked, "Is 126 your student ID number?"
Fang Xuan clicked on the lost and found post on campus. There was a photo of a campus card, with the contents blurred out, but the student ID number that was visible was indeed hers.
She added the other person as a friend using the contact information provided and introduced herself.
The person on the other end said, "[I'll give you your campus card very late; I have an after-school activity today.]"
Fang Xuan: [Okay.]
Fang Xuan waited on campus until after 8 p.m., and sure enough, the girl who came to meet her was a pretty girl from the international department. She had long hair, was fair-skinned and thin, and was accompanied by a tall boy. In the late autumn, he had his dark blue suit jacket open, revealing his white shirt, and looked a bit like he was trying to look cool.
Fang Xuan brought milk tea, and the boy accepted it without hesitation.
During that time, the atmosphere at Fang Xuan's home was not good. Her parents were always arguing over various trivial matters. She was so bothered by this that she began to have some thoughts about going abroad to study right after finishing the college entrance examination.
I was sitting on my bed with my knees drawn up, scrolling through my WeChat Moments out of boredom, when I came across a photo of that girl doing creative painting in the art studio.
She thought for a moment, clicked on the other person's profile picture, and sent a message: [Are you there?]
The other party replied a moment later: []
Fang Xuan introduced her situation and her usual grades, saying that she was planning to switch to A-levels and wanted to ask her how to choose courses, as well as how to prepare for activities and competitions.
B: [。]
Fang Xuan could clearly sense that the other person was not as friendly as last time. Feeling awkward, she comforted herself, thinking that others were not obligated to explain such complicated issues.
A short while later, Fang Xuan received a new friend request. After accepting it, she discovered that the account named Ashely was the real person.
Ashely: [What's the problem? Just say it.]
Ashely: [I was worried about safety, so I left my contact information online with my childhood friend.]
Fang Xuan then forwarded the previous chat history directly to them.
After waiting a while, Ashley said, "I just made an appointment with the teacher from the agency. We'll meet together this weekend for a face-to-face meeting."
Fang Xuan was shocked: [Huh? So efficient, sis!]
She added, "[It's just an idea right now, and it might not necessarily be implemented.]"
Ashely: [It's okay, just consider it a thank you for the milk tea.]
They met again that weekend.
Fang Xuan got to know Li Li and her childhood friend Tan Yi through this.
The golden eggs weren't as difficult to get along with as Fang Xuan had imagined, and she was quite happy to be able to make friends with them.
At that time, Li Li didn't really have any male friends. Boys' thought processes are always straightforward and blunt, and little girls also have many unspeakable emotions and troubles that are difficult to express.
Therefore, she was very willing and enjoyed chatting with the easygoing Fang Xuan.
One weekend, the two arranged to study together at the library, but Tan Yi was not there this time.
Li Li suddenly became very serious and troubled, resting her chin on her hand and saying that Tan Yi had confessed his feelings to her, and she didn't know what to do.
Fang Xuan was utterly shocked.
In her memory, the two of them were inseparable, always together—doing homework, eating, shopping, even drinking from the same cup of water. Tan Yi's social media was filled with photos of her.
If that's not all, then what were you doing before?
She held back her吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments) and reminded him, "Last week, when I saw you two walking together, he carried your bag for you and you even held hands, right?"
Li Li lowered her hand and stubbornly argued, "How can that be? We're just good friends."
Back then, Tan Yi was also stuck with the title of "good friend" for many years.
