Li Wei sorted out the manuscript from the publishing house and sent it to the email address given by the editor.
After being busy for a while, she has nothing to do for the time being. The manuscript for the next topic can be submitted until the end of the year.
Li Wei took the remote control and looked at the TV programs. He happened to tune into the variety show channel of the national channel, which was Tang Shiyun's program. She looked at it with peace of mind.
This is a quiz show hosted by Tang Shiyun. She is intellectual and wise and can mobilize the atmosphere on the field. Li Wei is gradually attracted by the show.
Sister-in-law He was busy doing hygiene, so Li Wei pointed at the screen and asked, "Sister-in-law He, how are the ratings of this show?"
Sister-in-law He smiled and said, "Madam asked me this, but I can't answer it."
"Then you know this host, right?"
Sister-in-law He nodded and said: "I know, she is quite famous. She has hosted large parties before. Many people like her. Do you know this host's wife?"
"She is my friend." Li Wei showed a proud smile.
Li Wei thinks Tang Shiyun is great to have his own place on the national stage.
In a blink of an eye, they arrived at the place where the two agreed to meet. Tang Shiyun chose a remote and quiet beverage shop. When Li Wei arrived, Tang Shiyun had already arrived early. She was sitting by the window, wearing an iron-gray shirt dress and short ear-length hair, looking very capable and neat.
Li Wei walked towards her and said apologetically: "I kept you waiting for a long time."
Tang Shiyun was wearing earplugs to listen to something. When he noticed someone in front of him, he raised his head. Then he took off the earplugs and said with a smile: "You're here."
Li Wei sat down next to him, and Tang Shiyun hurriedly called for orders. Li Wei ordered a cup of the signature coconut milk tea, and Tang Shiyun ordered a cup of Americano coffee, and then ordered a matcha-flavored mousse cake.
"I remember you used to love desserts, do you still like them now?" Tang Shiyun can still tell a lot about Li Wei's preferences.
"Okay."
When Tang Shiyun heard about it, he said hurriedly: "You seem to be able to eat without gaining weight, but I can't. I have to be extremely careful with everything I eat, otherwise I will have a double chin unknowingly, and the director will have to lecture me, saying that I can't Body management, I’m sorry for the viewers in front of the TV.”
"Aren't we all the same in this industry? Many times when faced with delicious food, we have to learn to control it. A while ago, I lived with my mother. She cooked delicious dishes for me every day. I gained several kilograms in a month. It was scary. I had to go for a night run quickly and finally got my weight under control.”
They both laughed when they talked about the common topic. After laughing, Tang Shiyun suddenly mentioned Li Wei's wedding.
"I never thought you would marry that Zhao Qian. Doesn't it feel good to be married to a big star?"
Li Wei didn't realize this at all. She said: "We get together less and stay apart more. It seems to be the same whether we get married or not. What about you? Who are you, sir? Can you bring me out to meet you some other time?"
Tang Shiyun smiled more and more gently: "I am still alone."
Li Wei was very surprised when she heard that Tang Shiyun was technically a few months older than her, so why was she still single? She said in disbelief, "No way?"
"What am I lying to you about? But I'm too busy every day and don't have time to fall in love. I don't want to think about it yet."
Hearing this, Li smiled: "Your tone is exactly the same as that of my second brother. When family members urge marriage, he always says he is too busy and has no time."
Tang Shiyun heard Li Wei mention her second brother and said, "Mr. Li is a very nice person."
"Yes, second brother is very good."
Soothing music was playing in the store. The two hadn't seen each other for many years, and they always had endless things to talk about. Later, they naturally talked about Li Wei's work. Li Wei said with a distressed look: "It's not good to be idle like this all the time." I felt bored, so I went to a few job fairs in the past week or two, but they didn't seem very friendly to people like us who were over 30, married and had no children. People looked down on me in jobs that I liked. I despise those who like me, and it is difficult to reconcile them after all.”
"It is more difficult to find a job now than before, and the competition is too great. You are right. Being over thirty is a barrier at all levels. Employers have too many things to consider. It is inevitable for people like us to be too high or too low. Just. It’s better to have a way. It’s just that our TV station has passed the public recruitment period, otherwise I can still help you.”
"It doesn't matter. Just look for it slowly. I don't believe you can't find a suitable position yet."
From marriage, we talked about work, and then from work to the past, and talked about each other's hobbies. When Tang Shiyun asked Li Wei if he still paints now, Li Wei shook his head and said, "I haven't picked up a pen for a long time. I have long since lost my leisurely elegance.”
Tang Shiyun said distressedly: "Your paintings are very good. It's a pity to lose them. Let's start painting again. I know a friend who works in a gallery. If you have good works, you can ask him to help sell them."
Li Wei does not make a living from painting. He always feels that this interest is just an arty hobby. He is neither a professional nor has he ever thought of relying on his own paintbrush to support himself.
This meeting lasted nearly two hours, until a call came in to see Tang Shiyun. Tang Shiyun was busy returning to the TV station to handle some matters, and the two of them said goodbye in a hurry.
This afternoon tea brought the two of them closer together. In the following days, Tang Shiyun was busy on business trips, and there were not many opportunities for the two of them to meet.
About a week later, one day after dinner, Li Wei was watching a TV series with Sister-in-law He. While they were discussing the content of the TV series, they heard the door lock turning. Sister-in-law He immediately stood up excitedly and said to Li Wei: " Mr. Zhao is back."
Sister-in-law He hurriedly welcomed her out, while Li Wei sat on the sofa and did not move. Half a minute later, I heard conversations at the door. Zhao Qian walked in with his slender legs. Li Wei looked up at him, smiled and nodded to him: "You are back."
"Well, I'll take some time to come back and get together with you." If Mrs. He hadn't been there, Zhao Qian would have pounced on Li Wei.
During Christmas, Zhao Qian suddenly went to the city over there to spend one night with Li Wei. In the blink of an eye, the two had not seen each other for more than three months.
Sister-in-law He found out that Zhao Qian hadn't eaten yet, so she hurriedly went to the kitchen and asked to make two of Zhao Qian's favorite dishes. Zhao Qian waved his hand and said: "Don't bother me, just cook a bowl of noodles."
Li Wei stood up and said, "Sister-in-law He, go and rest. I'll cook."
"Why bother madam, leave this matter to me." Sister-in-law He had already put on her apron neatly and went into the kitchen to get busy.
Seeing that no one was disturbing him, Zhao Qian gave Li Wei a big hug, kissed Li Wei's cheek, and said distressedly: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I really miss you."
Li Wei asked him again: "How many days can you stay at home this time?"
"Three days, the director only allowed me three days' leave. I will be busy for another two months and the filming should be completed. After the filming is completed, I should be able to take a break for a while, and the subsequent dramas will not start filming in early June."
"Have you taken on a new role?"
"Well, yeah, didn't I tell you?"
Li Wei thought to herself, how can you bother to tell me.
