For half a month, Li Wei focused all his attention on reviewing information and working hard to publish a book.
Liu Chunzhi couldn't stand it anymore and arranged two more blind dates for Li Wei, but Li Wei declined both of them because he was busy with work. Liu Chunzhi made painstaking arrangements, but found that her daughter was not moved at all and was so angry that she could not eat. In the end, there was nothing he could do about his daughter, so he returned to Huiliang angrily, saying that he would never care about Li Wei's affairs from now on.
For Li Wei, her mother did not interfere in her private life, which was something she wished for. Returning to living alone, although Li Wei is a little lonely, he is free.
Zhu Heng heard that Li Wei wanted to publish a book. He also helped Li Wei contact a reliable bookseller. The bookseller came to visit Li Wei and was a little surprised by his initial impression: "Before I met Anchor Li, the anchor gave me the impression that he was aloof and taciturn. He was escorted by an assistant driver when he came in and out. When he showed up, he must be... Dressed up, he likes to stand in the middle of the stage. Anchor Li gives people a very different feeling.”
This bookseller is a middle-aged woman, a little short and fat, but her skin is very white. It is not white from foundation, but has a healthy white and rosy complexion. That complexion made even a young woman like Li Wei envious.
Li Wei smiled gently and explained: "Maybe Madam has some misunderstanding about our hosting business. In fact, most of us are very casual in private, and we don't have the pomp and circumstance you mentioned. How tiring it would be to live like that."
The bookseller smiled and nodded and said: "Maybe, but Anchor Li is indeed a very casual and free-spirited person. I have watched your program, and I feel it is really different from other similar programs. It is really full of classical charm and timeless. It’s like a line. It’s not like some vase hosts are just window dressing, but you have real knowledge. Did Anchor Li study history before?”
Li Wei shook his head and said: "No, I just studied broadcasting and hosting. I used to host the hourly news program and even did on-location interviews."
"Oh? Anchor Li is really knowledgeable and well-educated. I always thought you were a top student in the history department. I didn't expect you to know so much about antiques and related history at such a young age."
Li Wei thought to herself, after all, I am a person from ancient times, so I can't be without any knowledge.
The two started chatting, and Li Wei always had witty words and could make people laugh from time to time. The atmosphere is very good.
Finally, the lady said: "Anchor Li is a very interesting person. Here is your identity. If we package it properly, this book may even climb the bestseller list."
Li Wei only had a temporary interest, and she never thought about selling the book. It was just a wish.
Li Wei showed his sample manuscript to the bookseller, who helped contact the publishing house, made an appointment for the manuscript, and signed a contract. Li Wei only had to submit the manuscript within the agreed time and did not encounter many problems.
Publishing a book for the first time went so smoothly. Li Wei knew that Zhu Heng was helping to make connections. Li Wei accepted his kindness and expressed his gratitude in person.
"It just so happens that I know someone, so I can't help you much, so don't take it personally." Zhu Heng said very calmly.
On this day, Li Wei went to the city library to check information in order to catch up on the manuscript. Not long after he sat down, the phone rang. It was extremely quiet in the library, so Li Wei's cell phone ringtone seemed particularly loud. I forgot to set the ringtone to vibrate just now. Li Wei felt that everyone was looking at her. She stood up and apologized: "I'm sorry." After saying that, she took her cell phone and hurried outside to answer the call.
It's an unfamiliar number, and there's no indication of where the number belongs. Li Wei was a little confused and was hesitating whether to answer the call. If it was a harassing call, it would ring for a few seconds and then stop. However, more than twenty seconds had passed and it still hadn't stopped. After hesitation, she finally pressed the answer button.
"Hello!" This is her customary opening line, instead of saying "Hi".
"I finally found you."
The voice sounded familiar, and Li Wei's heart skipped two beats. She quickly asked, "Who are you?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was very quiet: "Awei, it's me. I finally found you. I'm at the door of your TV station, can you come out?"
Where is he coming back? ! Li Wei was stunned for a long time. The phone slipped from his hand and fell to the ground, and the screen was cracked. This sound made Li Wei wake up completely. She was so excited while holding the broken mobile phone that she even stuttered: "You... wait there... wait, I will come soon..." Fortunately, the mobile phone was not completely intact. Damn it, he heard these intermittent words from Li Wei on the other end of the phone.
Li Wei rushed out quickly. She had no idea when it would rain outside. Li Wei couldn't care anymore. She rushed through the rain curtain and stood at the street intersection, finally stopping a taxi.
When she finally arrived at the gate of the TV station, she saw a black car parked not far from the gate. She had an impression of that car. She had seen Qiu Kai drive it before. He's really back!
Li Wei covered his chest, because it seemed to be very restless at the moment, as if he was about to jump out immediately. She walked towards the black car.
The car door opened, and a long leg stepped out of the car.
"I'll wait for you in the future."
"No matter where you are, I will find you and run to see you!"
This was what she said to him before leaving. It was just that the wait was a little longer this time, but luckily they never gave up. The tall man didn't hold an umbrella either. He walked out of the rain, his steps hurried, and he was ecstatic.
The sound of rain is rustling. This is a belated spring rain. The spring rain is irrigating the dry earth and bringing moisture to all things. The two embraced each other passionately in the rain. This embrace spans time and space and hundreds of years of history.
For the original promise, they never gave up.
"It's great that I finally found you."
"Thank you for coming back." Li Wei felt that this sentence was not enough and quickly said: "Welcome to this world."
Qiu Kai got out of the car and said, "It's raining heavily. Come on."
Zhu Heng, who was busy in the office at the moment, was standing by the window watching the rain. He didn't expect to see such a scene unexpectedly. He thought to himself that the person Li Wei had placed in his heart was back. Although he didn't know that Li Wei went out on a blind date despite having someone in his heart, it was indeed a blessing to be reunited with his sweetheart.
Zhu Heng's cell phone rang in his pocket and he answered the call.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you?"
"Well, I'll probably be free on Wednesday. OK, let's set it at seven o'clock in the evening. Don't worry, I will definitely go. Thank you for your trouble."
Zhu Heng finished the call briefly and was preparing for the next blind date. Although I don’t know what kind of person the other party is, I hope he can have better luck this time.
