Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

Chapter 200: Scandal

Views:

"What are you looking for specifically for me?" Li Wei went over to wash a glass and poured a glass of water for Zhao Qian.

"I heard that you resigned from that TV station, and I couldn't find any news about you anywhere. I wonder if you are doing well."

Zhao Qian spoke sincerely, but Li Wei replied very coldly: "Whether I am living well or not has nothing to do with you. There must be a reason why you go to such trouble to find me."

Zhao Qian was silent for a while and then said: "I just want to see you."

Li Wei was startled. It might have been a wrong decision to let this man follow her upstairs. She recalled the incident in Lushan during the flood in 1998, and Zhao Qian's push when a mudslide occurred. From Daqi to here, she couldn't understand this man.

The ball of thread came over, meowing, and Zhao Qian felt like he was facing a formidable enemy, and then he sneezed one after another.

Li Wei said: "Let's go, I'll treat you to a meal." Treating him to a meal and repaying everything he owed him before was the way Li Wei could think of.

Although Zhao Qian tried his best to hide his appearance for fear of being recognized, his hat and sunglasses still attracted a lot of following eyes. Li Wei was afraid of meeting acquaintances from the TV station, so he took Zhao Qian on a long detour to a Chinese restaurant. Asked for a small box.

After the menu was handed over, Li Wei asked Zhao Qian what he meant: "What dishes do you like to eat?"

Zhao Qian took off his mask and said, "I can do whatever I want."

After hearing what he said, Li Wei took it upon himself to order a few of the store's signature dishes. While waiting for the food to be served, the two of them had a rare chat together.

Li Wei first cared about Zhao Qian's acting career: "What new dramas are you doing recently?"

Zhao Qian's expression was slightly stagnant. He looked into Li Wei's clear eyes and said slowly: "I don't plan to act anymore."

Li Wei said in surprise: "Why don't you act? Isn't your career on the rise? Why did you give up?"

Zhao Qian smiled slightly: "After a long time, I feel that it is not very interesting, and I also want to do something else."

"Oh." Li tilted his head slightly and looked out the window. There was busy traffic and tall buildings outside. The prosperity of this city is comparable to that of Lincheng.

Li Wei said "oh" and nothing else.

The person he cared about was right in front of him, within reach, but to Zhao Qian, it seemed like he was thousands of miles away. It took Zhao Qian a lot of effort to find out about her, but now he finally came to her, but he still couldn't get close to her.

"What career does the Prince Regent want to get into next?"

"A friend is planning to ask me to start a company and consider investment projects."

Li Wei lowered her head and thought, her eldest brother also wanted to invest, but unfortunately he didn't know people well and was defrauded by Jiao Yang and ran away.

"That's because I want to go into business, which is a good thing."

Dishes were served one after another, and Li Wei focused on the delicious food in front of him. Zhao Qian doesn't know Li Wei's taste or her hobbies. After all, he didn't know her very well. Even if he tried his best to walk in front of her, she still felt so far away.

"Do you want to buy individual stocks?"

This was probably the first time that Zhao Qian tried to get Li Wei to join him. In the past, they always had different opinions and had never been on the same front.

Li Wei didn't understand why Zhao Qian wanted her to join him. She thought about it for a moment and then rejected his invitation: "No need, I'm just a poor office worker. I earn just enough money to spend. I don't have any spare money for investment. You I got the wrong guy."

What Zhao Qian saw with his own eyes was that Li Wei only lived in an ordinary apartment with few decent furniture, and the clothes she wore were not famous brands. Even though she was a well-known host, she seemed to have a rough life. Very low-key.

Li Wei had a bad gastrointestinal condition, and because of his career, he couldn't eat heavier food, so he only moved his chopsticks a few times before eating the dishes in front of him.

Zhao Qian saw that she ate less, frowned and said, "You're a cat, is this all you eat?"

Li Wei wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "I have a bad stomach. I feel uncomfortable after eating too much."

The meal lasted for about twenty minutes and ended in a hurry. Li Wei took the initiative to pay. She pressed the button for the elevator, and while she was waiting for a gap in the elevator, Zhao Qian told her: "I plan to settle in this city, so I bought a house in the south of the city. It will be convenient for you to come over and be my guest in the future."

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, then agreed indifferently: "I know."

The elevator came up quickly, and a man and a woman came out after the elevator door opened.

"Li Wei!"

Li Wei looked up and saw that it was Hu Meijuan. She greeted Hu Meijuan with a smile. There was a man behind her, who turned out to be Wang Yang. Wang Yang seemed a little embarrassed and nodded with Li Wei. One pair goes out, one pair goes in. The elevator closed quickly.

Wang Yang said to Hu Meijuan with a surprised look on his face: "The man next to Li Wei looks familiar, but I can't remember where I saw him. Is he an acquaintance of ours?"

Hu Meijuan asked: "Could he be some famous person?" This question did not bother the two of them for long, and they got the answer after a few days.

Li Wei said goodbye to him after coming out of the restaurant: "I won't see you off, take care." She even stopped a taxi for Zhao Qian.

When she went to work the next day, Hu Meijuan asked Li Wei: "Li Wei, who was the handsome man next to you yesterday?"

Li Wei explained awkwardly: "A fellow countryman of mine."

"Fellow fellow?" Hu Meijuan thought to herself. Didn't Li Wei say that she came from the countryside? He doesn't look like that handsome man.

"I saw that he was wearing sunglasses and his hat low when he was indoors, so I thought he was a very famous person."

How should Li Wei explain this, but she quickly changed the subject: "By the way, what's going on between you and Wang Yang? They even made an appointment to have dinner together. Is there anything going on?"

Hu Meijuan threw the manuscript into Li Wei's arms: "Why don't you go into the dressing room quickly? The director will have to rush you soon."

She doesn't want to explain? It would be strange if there is no situation. Li Wei winked at Hu Meijuan playfully, took the manuscript and left.

Two days later, Minister Hou called Li Wei into the office and threw a newspaper in front of her. Li Wei didn't know why, but the bold black font on the entertainment page in front of him clearly said: "A popular movie star is suspected of secretly dating a female anchor." The photo posted above was of her and Zhao Qian.

"How do you want to explain this?"

Li Wei was surprised. She didn't expect that one day she would appear on the same page as Zhao Qian. She said to Hou Guangyao extremely calmly: "Minister, this is just a hype by those boring reporters. He and I are just fellow villagers, and we don't have much contact."

Hou Guangyao thought that Li Wei had been very low-key since she joined the TV station. She usually kept to herself most of the time. She had no scandals and had never heard of her having a boyfriend. She was a very simple employee.

Seeing Li Wei's calm face, Hou Guangyao believed her words and said, "I hope my employees can work peacefully and don't make any news, let alone bring some emotions to work."
