She has been in Lancheng for four years. It can be regarded as her second hometown. When she followed Lu Jia, she traveled all over the city's streets and she was already very familiar with this city.
But no matter how familiar and friendly she was, she had to leave. Li Wei finally made the decision, but Qi Jingyi was reluctant to let her go.
"You kid is also stubborn, so what if you wait a year or two."
"I don't want to waste my time waiting, Sister Qi. Human life is actually very short."
Qi Jingyi felt that Li Wei was still young and still had a lot of time to squander, but she felt that Li Wei was still a little impatient.
"Then what are you going to do next? TV stations are not that easy to get into. You finally got the chance to be on camera here. It would be a pity to give up."
Li Weidao: "I want to be closer to home. It just so happens that the Western Province Satellite TV is recruiting candidates, and there are also positions for hosts. I think the one-year internship experience here and the hard work for so long should be considered a qualification. Sister Qi , you may laugh at me, I want to establish myself based on my own ability, rather than relying on someone’s connections. Once you add the background of relying on connections, no matter how hard you try, people will still ignore you and think you are using the back door. Not fair enough.”
"So you have to prepare for the exam now?"
"That's about it. We have to take action."
"You have to think about it, there is no turning back in life."
In fact, from the moment Li Wei submitted his resignation, there was no turning back. If you can't get into a TV station, you can still get into a radio station. There is not only one way to the future. She doesn't have any burden now and can leave as soon as she wants.
Li Wei disposed of all the things in Lincheng that could not be taken away, and packed up the rest and took them to the post office to mail them back. Then I bought a train ticket and prepared to leave the city.
Before departure, Li Wei called Tang Shiyun.
"Shiyun, I have to go back. I don't know if there will be a chance to meet in the future. I wish you all the best."
"I'm on vacation tomorrow, come to my house and let's have a good talk."
Li smiled and shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to make it on the train tomorrow night, so I won't bother you. Say hello to uncle for me."
Tang Shiyun was a little helpless. Her position was now fixed, but she didn't expect that Li Wei's position was full of variables. She didn't have many friends, and Li Wei was one of the few. She was really reluctant to give up.
Tang Shiyun was silent for a while before encouraging Li Wei: "Then work hard. I hope I can see your paintings again in the future."
Li smiled and agreed: "Well, I will paint two pictures when I have free time in the future."
In addition to the school teachers and several seniors from the TV station in Lincheng, the one who showed the greatest concern to Li Wei was Qi Jingyi. She invited Qi Jingyi to eat outside, and the two drank some wine. Li Wei advised her: "Sister Qi, don't be too strong, and cherish yourself."
"Am I so strong? In this society, I don't want to rely on men. If I want to stand on my own, I can't be strong."
This is the truth. Li Wei is also a very strong person, so strong that he doesn't want to give in.
In fact, Li Wei wanted to persuade Qi Jingyi to meet the right person to accompany her throughout her life, but she did not say this, and it became a deep blessing.
The next evening, she dragged her suitcase to the train station and bid a formal farewell to this city.
The train was swaying, and Li Wei lay on the bed and read through his notebook. After turning a few pages, she was stunned when she saw a line of numbers. Since getting the number, she hasn't dialed it once. After she returned to Western Province, she hoped that the two would never have any more intersections.
After swaying on the train for a day and a night, it was already the morning of the third day when she finally rushed home.
Li Wei got out of the car and dragged his suitcase directly to the hot spring hotel.
Li Jianping was busy when he suddenly heard the sound of suitcase wheels scratching the ground. He thought it was a guest coming, so he said habitually: "Welcome to the happy family."
Li Wei pouted and wanted to smile: "Hey, can I get a discount if I stay in the hotel?"
Li Jianping suddenly looked up and saw that it was his own sister. He was a little surprised and said, "Why are you coming back today?"
Li smiled and said, "Do you think I'm back too early?"
"How could it be? This is your home. You are welcome to come back anytime you want." Li Jianping dropped what he was doing and went to help his sister drag the box.
Li Wei has not been back home for more than a year. The house in his house looks like a newly built house, and the flowers and plants he planted are growing well. The trees also seemed to be thicker. Li Wei turned to look at her elder brother again. Well, he was still in the same spirit. He seemed to be more dressed than before, and he seemed to be in good condition.
"Is everything okay at home?"
"As you can see, there's nothing wrong with it."
It seems okay. Li Jianping took his sister to the newly built two-story white building at the back. He opened a room and said to Li Wei: "You can stay in this room. If you think the location is not good, there are other rooms you can change to."
Li Wei took a look. The room was not big. There was a bed in the middle with a bare mattress and nothing else. Directly opposite the bed is a double-door wardrobe, and next to the wardrobe is a simple dressing table. Although it was not occupied, it was cleaned and there was no dust on the dressing table.
Li Wei put down his suitcase and asked Li Jianping, "Where are my parents?"
"They have gone into the city and may not come back until later in the afternoon. I still have some things to do, so you can do it yourself. By the way, the bedding and other things are in the room at the end of the right hand side. There may not be much stuff, but it may be a bit too much. You need to take your time. Look slowly. You must be tired after riding the train for so long. Let’s take a rest.”
Li Wei nodded in agreement. She took a look at the white walls of this room, which had no decorations. There was a thread hanging above her head, and an incandescent lamp hanging down. She first took out the clothes from the suitcase. There were many clothes racks in the wardrobe. Li Wei hurriedly hung out the clothes to dry. Then he went to the room the elder brother mentioned and found bedding and pillows.
It was a hot day and she laid out a mat. After tidying it up, she lay down on the bed and didn't want to move.
After lying down for a while, Li Wei felt hungry, so he planned to go to the kitchen to see if there was anything delicious. It turns out that the family hired a new chef and a helper to help with chores. The chef said that he would help Li Wei cook two dishes, but Li Wei refused: "I can just eat it myself, no need to bother."
After filling his stomach, Li Wei went to the lobby. A guest happened to check in, and Li Jianping personally received him and helped open a room.
Li Wei helped carry the luggage all the way to the guest room, and explained what nearby places to visit and the features of the hotel's hot springs. The guests were very satisfied to see Li Wei's enthusiasm and thoughtfulness.
Li Wei returned to the lobby, where Li Jianping was sitting on the sofa reading the invoice.
"Sister, your service is not bad, how about I hire you to come back and help me?"
Li smiled and said, "Seriously?"
