The application submitted by Li Wei was finally approved, and she was within the quota for overseas assignment.

Minister Hou told Li Wei the news: "You have to go there after New Year's Day, and it lasts for one year. Taiwan has sent nine people abroad this time. In addition to you, there is also a female host who will study hard abroad. With this The qualifications desk will also promote you."

Li Wei agreed, and then asked: "When will I be in this class?"

"Let's wait until mid-December. I'll let someone take over then. Hu Meijuan will be back soon. It's just a transition."

The reason why the TV station spends a lot of money to send employees out for training is for the future of the TV station. The selected group of employees are all young employees under the age of thirty. This group of people represents the future of the TV station.

The road to the future lies under his visible feet, and Li Wei wants to fight hard while he is still young.

This news was indeed good news for her. However, Li Wei did not tell Jian Bo immediately. Instead, he told his family first.

The family was happy for her but also worried. They were not familiar with the foreign country and they were worried that Li Wei would be frustrated.

"No one's life is smooth sailing. Growing up amid setbacks is also a kind of experience. I will take good care of myself." Li Wei promised again and again.

It was a week after she received the news that she told Jian Bo about it.

Jianbo quickly replied to Li Wei's message: "Let's meet on Friday night. I'll come to your place."

Li Wei immediately replied: "I have to go to class tonight and don't have time."

"Then when are you free? You can set the time."

Li Wei thought carefully for two minutes before replying to Li Jianbo: "Next Tuesday, I have a day off. I will go to your place."

"Okay." Li Jianbo showed a happy smile, and Bian Ling walked in just in time. She saw Li Jianbo looking at the phone and smiling stupidly. She stepped forward and said, "Did you win the prize?"

"This is more satisfying than winning a lottery. By the way, Bian Ling, have you stayed in the UK before?"

Bian Ling nodded and said, "Well, I stayed there for four years."

"That must be very familiar. I'll treat you to afternoon tea sometime, and you can tell me about your studies in the UK."

"Didn't you come back from the United States? When did you become interested in Britain?"

"Hey, why are you asking so many questions? Just agree."

On Tuesday, they finally met. Li Jianbo asked her when she would leave. Li Wei said, "After New Year's Day."

"Which city are you going to?"

"Westminster, a borough below London."

"It's not bad. Go and study hard, and when you have time, go out and see the exotic scenery."

Li Wei nodded in agreement.

"Dr. Bian spent several years in Liverpool before and is very familiar with the UK. How about you talk to her? I'm not familiar with the UK."

"Well, I'll make an appointment with her when I have time." She hadn't seen the beautiful female doctor for a long time.

During this rare vacation, Li Wei didn't go out for a stroll. She took out things like hoes and sickles from the tool room, put on gloves, and turned to ask Li Jianbo: "There should be no snakes this season, right?"

"Probably not, but what are you going to do?"

"Help you weed." Li Wei said and did it. After a long time without clearing it, the weeds grew so much that they almost swallowed up the originally planted flowers and trees. She helped weed weeds downstairs, while Li Jianbo went upstairs to write academic papers.

It took her almost an afternoon to roughly clean up the lawn. After doing so, it became clean and tidy again. In the spring, she bought ginkgo trees and maples to plant. More than half a year later, the trees were still weak and only as tall as a person. The leaves of the maple tree have slowly turned red. Ginkgo leaves are also gradually turning yellow.

Winter will be coming soon, and another year will come in a blink of an eye. This year, the most important thing to her is that her second brother is back. She hauled several large bags of weed to the garbage dump.

Feeling a little tired after working hard all afternoon, she went upstairs and lay on the sofa without wanting to move. Li Jianbo finally finished writing his thesis, and he happened to be hungry. He went out to find something to eat, but he saw that Li Wei had fallen asleep on the sofa at some point. He went into the room and got a blanket for Li Wei to cover her.

Before the blanket was pulled up, Li Wei had already woken up. She sat up and said, "It's dark outside. You must be hungry too. I'll cook."

"Forget it, you've been tired all afternoon and still have the energy to cook. Let's go out to eat and take you back. What do you want to eat?"

Li Wei said casually, then got up and went to the bathroom.

Twenty minutes later, the two finally sat down in the warm and bright restaurant. Li Jianbo asked Li Wei to order, but Li Wei said nothing was good, so Li Jianbo had to order for her.

"Shall we go to Harbin for my birthday?"

"Why go to Harbin? It's so cold."

"Didn't you say it was your wish before?" Li Jianbo remembered every word she said.

Li Wei said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to go this year. Then I will have to be busy with going abroad."

"It doesn't matter if you can't go. I will celebrate your birthday with you then. Anyway, I won't leave you alone."

Li Wei didn't speak. She looked up at the TV in the restaurant. It was prime theater time, and the big-production "Sunset over the Long River" was playing.

This historical costume drama is indeed well-produced. From the costumes and props to the makeup, it has the atmosphere of that era. The big scenes are all real scenes, and only the indoor scenes were completed in the studio.

She saw the eye-catching subtitles at the beginning of the film: Zhao Qian is the lead actor, but Chu Shanshan is the third one to be named as the heroine of this drama.

She stared at the TV for a long time. It was already on episode seven, but because of the plot, she never followed the show.

Li Jianbo followed Li Wei's gaze and said, "How long has it been since you last seen him?"

"It's been almost half a year."

"Everyone in our office is talking about this drama, and it seems that the ratings are very good. Can he take his career to the next level with this drama?"

This was probably the first time that the brother and sister talked about Zhao Qian so calmly. In fact, putting aside those prejudices, Li Jianbo felt that Zhao Qian was a pretty good person, at least he was a relatively simple person in that circle. He is usually low-key and doesn't have those messy news. He acts as he should and is very popular with the audience. He once searched online for movies and TV series starring Zhao Qian. He was a prolific actor, but his style was similar, all in costume dramas. Is there no breakthrough

"Why doesn't he act in fashion dramas?"

"Fashion drama?" Li Wei couldn't even imagine what Zhao Qian would look like with his neat short hair, wearing a suit and tie. He came from that era and has the unique imprints of that era. If these imprints are gone, will he still be Zhao Qian
