After the blind date episode passed, Li Wei and Zhu Heng still had a normal relationship as colleagues, and no one mentioned the blind date. We go to and from get off work as usual every day, and everyone gets along well.
One weekend, Li Wei received a text message from Li Jianbo.
Zhu Heng, born in 1973. At the age of eighteen, he studied at the School of Communication, City University, Birmingham, and then studied for a master's and PhD degree at the University of Birmingham. At the end of 2003, he married his Asian girlfriend from the same school and divorced in May 2004. In May 2005, he returned to China and worked in a television station.
What did he mean by this and why he wanted to investigate her leader.
Li Wei quickly called back: "Second brother, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean? Of course I want to provide you with some useful information. I'm afraid you will be deceived. Jiang Yunfeng's incident didn't happen long ago."
Li Weiwei said angrily: "You shouldn't investigate people secretly like this."
"Then he confessed all these situations to you? Including the marriage that only lasted a few months?"
Li Wei still couldn't help being annoyed: "Second brother, this matter has nothing to do with you."
"Why doesn't it matter? If something happens later, you still have to ask me to deal with the aftermath. I call it precautions before it happens. You must be very discerning. Men with a history of marriage have problems." Li Jianbo said Yu kindly gave Li Wei a warning.
Li Wei felt that her second brother's move was a bit too much. She hung up the phone but was still angry. Liu Chunzhi happened to walk in.
"Who are you talking to on the phone? Is it Xiao Zhu? To be honest, I haven't met him yet. You have invited him to come to your house one day and I will cook for him."
"Mom, this is inappropriate, so don't bother."
"What's inappropriate? He happens to be your colleague. We all know each other well. We don't see each other every day, so we don't need to get to know each other in depth. I think it's fine. Don't be too picky. We are all in the same unit. No matter what happens, we can still take care of you.”
"Even if he has been married before, does Mom think it doesn't matter?"
"What...what?" Liu Chunzhi didn't react for a moment, and asked again: "Is he married? Does he have children?"
"I don't know about this."
"It's okay if you don't have children. Anyway, you can't be a stepmother for others, so it doesn't matter much else."
Now she became so talkative again. Li Wei felt her heart was in a mess. She said, "Mom, he is my leader, that's it. Don't think about other aspects. I'll go see how the house is decorated."
Li Wei ran away from home in a hurry again.
What Zhu Heng's private life is like is completely irrelevant to Li Wei. She didn't want to ask either.
After taking the bus twice, she finally arrived at the community. She entered the new house smoothly, and the decoration workers were still busy decorating the kitchen. Everything else is almost finished.
"Boss, it will be completed tomorrow. You can accept it as you like."
How to check and accept a new house, she had consulted a lot of information on the Internet before, but now she had no tools at hand, so she had to look around casually. I touched here and knocked there, but for a while I couldn't find anything.
She controlled the entire decoration style herself, so she is generally satisfied with it. Once the renovation is complete, it will be ready to move in within a few months.
It's spacious and bright, and maybe your mood will get better if you live here.
A familiar ringtone came, it was Zhu Heng calling.
"Li Wei, are you free tonight?"
"I'm free, what are the producer's orders?"
"Last time I asked you to have Italian food, but unfortunately I didn't get it in the end, so how about I invite you to have dinner with me again tonight?"
Li Wei thought for two minutes before answering Zhu Heng's words carefully: "I'm sorry, producer, I have another appointment and I can't come."
He said he was free a second ago, but immediately said he had another appointment. Li Wei didn't seem to be a good liar, and Zhu Heng didn't expose her to her face. He just smiled gently and said, "That's it, then. I'm so sorry, I'll ask you later."
"Well, I'm really sorry."
Li Wei did not go home, and naturally she had no other appointments. She finally went to the apartment purchased by Zhao Qian.
She cleaned the empty house because the TV fee was not paid in time and there was no TV signal. She turned on all the lights in the room so that it wouldn't feel deserted.
In this empty house, she ate the lunch box she bought from outside alone. After eating, she went to the bedroom to stay for a while. His clothes are still hanging in the closet. Although there are only three or four sets of clothes that can be changed, these clothes have been worn by him and still have his breath on them.
The first drawer at the bedside was locked, and I didn’t know what treasures were inside. There is a black-covered notebook in the second drawer, with some schedules recorded in ballpoint pen on the first few pages of the notebook. She stroked the familiar handwriting, as if he was standing in front of her, talking to her.
"You liar! You said you could find me no matter where I am, but you lied." Li Wei muttered to herself. She closed the notebook but did not put it back in the end. She put the notebook into her bag.
Fortunately, since that time when Li Wei clearly rejected Zhu Heng's invitation, Zhu Heng has never made any invitation to Li Wei, and they still maintain a normal relationship as colleagues. In his free time, Li Wei would also make appointments with Hu Meijuan, Yang Li, and Lao Lin, or they would get together when Qiu Ci was free.
Everyone went shopping together and went to bars together. Life was very simple.
The program hosted by Li Wei has always had good ratings and found a generous sponsor. Several members of the department have received salary increases, with Li Wei receiving the largest increase. Now she just wants to pay off the mortgage as soon as possible and save some money. With the spare money, she also wanted to go out for a walk. During this period, advertisers also negotiated with her and invited her to represent them. Unfortunately, other hosts on the TV station had problems endorsing products before. Later, the TV station issued more stringent relevant regulations, which greatly restricted the anchor's endorsement behavior. It is said to be a restriction, but in fact it is more appropriate to say it is a prohibition.
Li Wei also wanted to make money, but there were regulations in place, so she had to give up.
It has just entered December and the atmosphere of Christmas is gradually getting stronger. In recent years, major businesses have launched many activities during Christmas, so more and more people in China celebrate Christmas.
It hardly snows in the province where they live, so Li Wei yearns for snowy days every winter.
The Scottish ski resort in 2003 was the place where she and Zhao Qian fell in love. She wanted to revisit her old place, but unfortunately she didn't have enough money or time, so she couldn't go to such a far place. After settling for the next best thing, Li Wei set his goal of going out to Hokkaido, which was not too far away.
She has been making travel guides since mid-March, hoping to have a pleasant trip to Japan.
