Li Wei took care of the things at hand and finally boarded the train heading north.
Going to a completely unfamiliar city to start a new life is undoubtedly a new challenge for Li Wei.
After getting off the train, she took off her two large suitcases and walked out of the platform. She followed the crowd until she reached the exit and saw someone waving to her.
The person who came to greet her was not her second brother, but Qiu Kai. Qiu Kai came over with long legs and pulled the box for Li Wei. Li Wei hurriedly said thank you to him.
The two walked to the parking lot. Qiu Kai helped her put the suitcase and asked Li Wei to get in the car.
"Didn't Mr. Qiu follow Zhao Qian to the set?"
Qiu Kai replied with a smile: "The boss has a production assistant, so I didn't follow him and was left to help him deal with other things. Sister-in-law, it must be hard to ride in the car, why don't you take a rest first."
Li Wei thanked him and stayed in the car for less than half an hour before the car entered a high-end residential area. She had no idea when Zhao Qian bought the house here. The car drove into the underground parking lot, and Li Wei followed Qiu Kai. Qiu Kai took her into an elevator and said to her: "The properties here are very good. If you need anything, you can find a property. Of course you can trouble another person before that."
The floor stopped on the seventeenth floor. Li Wei followed Qiu Kai out of the elevator room. Qiu Kai pressed the doorbell of one of the houses, and someone opened the door ten seconds later. There was a middle-aged woman standing behind the door. She was a little short and fat, but she was very fair. With a smile on her round face, she greeted Li Wei warmly.
"Madam is back, please come in!"
This title made Li Wei feel a little uncomfortable. Qiu Kai helped her drag the suitcase into the house and put it away. He then introduced to Li Wei: "This is Sister He. You can ask Sister He to do anything you want."
Li Wei nodded to Mrs. He: "I'm causing trouble for you."
Sister-in-law He was still wearing an apron and said with a smile: "Madam, you don't have to be too polite. If you have anything to do, just ask me."
Qiu Kai stood and said a few words, and left in a hurry without even taking a sip of water.
Here, Mrs. He moved Li Wei's things into the master bedroom. She told Li Wei, "This is the room where Mr. Zhao lives, but he is busy with work and cannot live there for more than a few days throughout the year."
Li Wei took a look. This bedroom was huge and decorated very simply. The beige wardrobe and bed are matching. There are no decorative paintings hanging on the walls, but light lime green wallpaper, which makes the style of the whole room a little brighter.
About twenty minutes later, Mrs. He came over and invited Li Wei out for dinner. Sister-in-law He is a good cook, and the food she makes is delicious and delicious.
After dinner, Li Wei chatted with Mrs. He: "How long have you been here to help?"
Sister-in-law He said: "It's been about ten years. Mr. Zhao is not at home often, and I am often the only one helping to guard the house. I have heard Mr. Zhao mention you many times, but unfortunately I have never seen you. Madam is better than I thought." Be young and beautiful.”
Facing Mrs. He's compliment, Li Wei just smiled faintly, and then Mrs. He continued: "Madam, if you can move here, this house will be more lively, and I also have someone to talk to. Madam, rest first, and wait until you adjust. , I’ll take you around.”
Li Wei nodded. She sat in the living room for a while and then returned to the bedroom.
The clothes hanging in the closet are all Zhao Qian's clothes, including the cotton and linen Chinese clothes he loved to wear in his early days, and of course more of the modern clothes he wears every day.
In addition to this bedroom, Zhao Qian also has a study room that is about the same size as this bedroom. Both walls of the study room are lined with bookshelves, and the shelves are filled with all kinds of books. Sister-in-law He helped to keep it very tidy and there was no dust at all. The bookshelf and desk are both made of huanghuali. The desk is equipped with a pen stand and an inkstone, and everything is full of ancient meaning, which is in line with Zhao Qian's style. However, Li Wei's eyes were attracted by a piece of writing hanging on the other wall. It was in cursive script and should be Zhao Qian's own handwriting. What he was writing should be the dharma calligraphy of Monk Huaisu. While copying others, he developed his own style.
Zhao Qian is also a person who can write and draw, and is very accomplished. It's just that there is no place for him to play here. Li Wei couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
Li Wei temporarily lived in the capital. When she first arrived, she didn't know anyone except these few people around her, so she had to work hard to adapt to this city.
Li Wei was busy looking for a new job. She made a lot of resumes, and then went to the job market with those freshly graduated college students with those resumes. After just two job fairs, Li Wei was exhausted both physically and mentally. There are few professional positions, and some positions have very strict requirements. Not to mention anything else, Li Wei has been rejected just because of his age.
On the third day after returning from the job fair, she also received several requests for interviews from several units. Li Wei changed into formal attire and went to apply. I visited four units in two days. One of them is a local radio station. During the interview, Li Wei was clearly told that the probation period was one year and the salary was very low. It was a temporary position to be a coordinator. The working hours were not fixed and there was a high possibility that he would be assigned to the late-night column. . In addition, there is a magazine recruiting copy editors. However, after reading Li Wei's resume, the magazine didn't seem to be very interested in Li Wei, and it kept talking about Li Wei being married but not pregnant.
"Ms. Li is already thirty-one, and she has been married for half a year. When do you plan to have children?"
Facing the HR supervisor's question, Li Wei patiently explained: "My husband is very busy with work and will not consider the children's affairs in the short term."
The HR manager then asked, "What does your husband do?"
"He is... an entertainment worker. He often travels all over the world." Li Wei did not say Zhao Qian's name in the end, because she knew that Zhao Qian's name would not bring her much help.
After returning from the interview, Li Wei felt unprecedented pressure. If she were seven or eight years younger, her job opportunities would definitely be much greater than they are now.
On her second weekend in the capital, Zhao Qian called.
"Are you used to living in the capital?"
"Get used to it, there's nothing uncomfortable about it."
"That's good. By the way, I heard from Mrs. He that you are busy looking for a job. Do you have any clues?"
Li Wei sighed: "Not yet. I've been hit hard recently and haven't found a suitable position. I'm still waiting and watching."
Zhao Qian comforted her: "Don't be so anxious to find it. If you need money, just withdraw the money on that card. By the way, I may take some time to come back to reunite with you next month."
Li Wei said: "Okay, you go ahead and do your business. I will take care of my own affairs."
Not long after hanging up the phone from Zhao Qian, Li Jianbo called and made an appointment with her to have dinner together next Tuesday night. Li Wei readily agreed.
