Pang Lingyin is a person who is not easy to get along with, and she likes to take everything seriously. It's a bit of a headache to work with such a person. As her subordinate, Li Wei has to deal with her all day long.
Naturally, she suffered some hardships and took some detours when she first entered the workplace, but after half a month, she worked more and more carefully. Pang Lingyin didn't know where to start even if she wanted to pick on Li Wei.
Pang Lingyin noticed Li Wei's efforts. Li Wei had been here for so long and there was no sign that the leader had assigned her a position. It seemed that Li Wei was not asked to replace her. Pang Lingyin's sense of crisis was relieved by two points. Not so harsh on Li Weicai.
"Li Wei, the boss said there is a dinner party tonight, would you like to go too?" Pang Lingyin invited Li Wei to participate in specific department activities for the first time.
Li Wei agreed: "Okay, what time and where is the location?"
Pang Lingyin said: "At six o'clock, we will be at Xingfuren's house. You should pack your things and go back early."
Li Wei agreed. She helped Pang Lingyin organize her belongings, washed the cups until they were shiny, and confirmed the clothes she would wear tomorrow. Then she had nothing to do with her. Then he carried his small bag and returned to the rental place.
Before four o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Yan hadn't gotten off work yet, and Li Wei was the only one there. She read for a while, but the BP machine kept ringing, so she had to go downstairs to find a public phone and call back.
At 5:40, Li Wei washed his face and rode to Xingfuren's house without changing his clothes.
By the time she arrived, the others were already halfway there. Qin Li saw that Li Wei was still wearing a T-shirt and jeans and said with a smile: "You are so young after all, you look good in anything you wear."
Pang Lingyin almost stepped in. What was different from usual was that she had let her hair down and was wearing a sleeveless aqua blue dress, which was very different from her usual style. As soon as she appeared, male colleagues immediately gathered around her.
In fact, there is another female anchor in their department, Jiang Mengfan, known as **. Jiang Mengfan is in her thirties, married and has children, so naturally there are no male colleagues around her.
More than 70 people from the department have occupied the entire fourth floor of the restaurant. Director Guo did not come to have dinner with everyone, but both directors came. Everyone sat around eating and drinking, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Some male colleagues also came to ask Li Wei for a drink, but Li Wei declined because he didn't know how to drink.
Others were fine, but Pang Lingyin had to protect her voice and not get a bad stomach, so she had to be extra careful when going out to eat. Most of the time she just took advantage of the occasion.
When Qin Li saw that Li Wei didn't drink, she kindly reminded her: "This is also a social event. If you don't know how to drink, you have to learn to drink. You should also toast to the boss over there. Showing your face in front of the boss more is not a bad thing. I’m afraid that if I stand in a crowd, I will lose my sense of presence at all.”
No matter how reasonable Qin Li's words were, Li Wei did not change his identity for a while and still thought he was a student. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Qin, for the tip." She ordered a bottle of beer, filled the cup in front of her, and walked towards He walked over to the table of the two directors, raised his glass generously and said: "Director Zhang, Director Liu. Li Wei would like to toast you two. I hope everything goes well for you two."
The two directors then raised their heads and glanced at Li Wei. Aren't they new interns? They gave Li Wei the honor of clinking glasses with her. Director Liu also encouraged her: "Young people should work diligently and step by step." If you stay down-to-earth, you will have a bright future.”
Li Wei's meek and respectful look is very pleasing to the eye.
Pang Lingyin was sipping tea on the side and thought to herself that Li Wei was quite capable of causing trouble. Was it Qin Li's trick? She lowered her head, hiding the slight discomfort in her heart.
When Li Wei came back, he happened to catch Pang Lingyin's eyes. Pang Lingyin pretended to be nonchalant and had no expression at all. After spending these days with Pang Lingyin, Li Wei has been able to roughly understand this person's thoughts. She was a newcomer, so it was better not to be too pushy, so Li Wei sat still during the next part of the personal talent show. Qin Li also came to encourage her, but Li Wei refused because she was a little dizzy after drinking.
I have an early shift tomorrow, but at eight o'clock I packed up the stall and dispersed.
Li Wei rode a bicycle to the rental place. When she returned, Liu Yan had not come back yet. She hurriedly took a shower, washed her hair, and put on a loose and comfortable red cotton silk nightgown. While waiting for her hair to dry, she sat on the sofa and watched TV. It was almost nine o'clock when he heard the door lock ringing. Li Wei knew that Liu Yan was back and said without looking back, "Is Sister Liu back?"
"Well, I worked a little late today. Have you eaten yet? I bought some food and drinks. Let's eat together."
Li Wei was about to turn around and say no, when he suddenly realized that there was another man coming in with Liu Yan. She was a little confused, but soon realized that she was wearing a nightgown with a low neckline and nothing underneath. She didn't have time to say hello, and immediately ran back to her room as if she was in despair.
It doesn't seem to be a good idea to hide and not go out. That man is Liu Yan's boyfriend, so he should say hello to him.
She had no choice but to change her clothes and go out again. When Liu Yan saw that Li Wei finally came out, she apologized and said to Li Wei: "Sorry, I didn't tell you that my boyfriend would come over today. Let me introduce it to you..."
Liu Yan's boyfriend was dark and thin, and wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses. Li Wei didn't hear his name clearly, but he only knew that his surname was Hao. Li Wei called him Mr. Hao.
Liu Yan came back with some barbecued skewers, boiled spiced peanuts, braised vegetables, and a few bottles of beer, and wanted to take Li Wei to eat with her. Li Wei said: "I've had dinner, you two can use it slowly."
Li Wei went back to the room and listened to music for a while. It was already half past nine and he had to go to bed. She had to get up early tomorrow, and she was afraid she wouldn't be able to get up if she went to bed late.
In the middle of the night, Li Wei was awakened by a sound coming from nowhere. It was the moans and groans that the woman tried her best to suppress, but could not be suppressed at all. One after another, Li Wei lost sleep. What happened? It came from Liu Yan. Where is she sick? Li Wei quickly put on some clothes and went out of the room. When she was standing in the living room, she heard the man's low breathing and the shaking of the bed board. Liu Yan's voice was even louder.
She stood in the living room for more than ten seconds, and finally returned to her bedroom, thinking that she might as well go out and live alone when she had more money in the future.
The next day Li Wei met Liu Yan. Liu Yan and Li Wei said, "Why haven't I seen you bring your boyfriend back?"
Li Wei said: "I don't have a boyfriend." She hesitated and made it clear to Liu Yan: "Liu Yan, if you want to bring someone back in the future, try to communicate with me first."
Liu Yan smiled and said, "Okay."
"Also... your voices are a bit loud, it would be better if you could pay more attention." Li Wei thought it would be better to point out some things directly, and she was not afraid of offending others.
After Liu Yan heard this, her face turned red instantly.
