Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

Today is December 30. After tomorrow, 2003 will end.

This time, Li Wei slept until two o'clock in the afternoon and woke up. After getting up, he found something to fill his stomach, and Chiu Ci's call came in.

"Hi, are you still asleep?"

"Awake already."

"That's the case, the deputy director sent a notice, let us go to the UK to return to the TV station for a meeting tomorrow. I'm afraid you don't know, so I will tell you."

"Thank you, when will you go to the TV station tomorrow?"

"Said it will be reported on time at ten o'clock tomorrow morning."

I haven't been to a TV station in a year, and whether I still have my position after I come back depends on how it is arranged. When the TV station arranged for employees to go out for further studies, they promised to focus on promotion. But when everything fell into place, Li Wei still felt confused about the future.

Li Jianbo came back at 6 o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, Li Wei was watching TV at home, studying whether the programs of domestic TV stations had changed: "Second brother, how many days off on New Year's Day?"

"Three days, just can go back together, how?"

Li smiled and said, "It's okay."

Li Jianbo urged Li Wei to change clothes and prepare to go out, Li Wei grabbed a coat and put it on. Li Jianbo saw that she was dressed thinly, and said: "It's cold today, why don't you wear a down jacket?"

"After staying in Scotland for a few days, when I came back I felt that my hometown was too warm, I am not cold."

"Little idiot, the cold is still not healed, and you don't pay attention to dressing, don't you want to heal?"

In these respects, Li Wei always thinks of mother-in-law. Li Jianbo drove her to a restaurant with a good reputation for dinner. In time for the meal, there was already a long queue outside. It shows how hot this business is. Fortunately, Li Jianbo had set the location early, so when he arrived at the location, he gave the name and the waiter led them to the private room upstairs.

Seeing his sister looked a little surprised, Li Jianbo said to her: "This was driven by a friend of mine, so as long as you make a phone call, you will always be able to locate it."

Li Wei said, she followed upstairs.

The restaurant did not spend much energy on the decoration, maintaining a simple and ordinary style. After sitting down, the waiter delivered the menu, and Li Jianbo ordered a few signature dishes.

However, Li Wei noticed the Western painting hanging on the wall. How long hadn't she taken a pen to paint? Li Jianbo said to the side: "You haven't eaten authentic Chinese food in a long time, right?"

"Yes, although ours is not far from Chinatown, the restaurants that we often go to in Chinatown always feel that the taste is not authentic enough."

The dishes were served in a short time. The presentation was very good, and it was enough to appeal to the appetite.

This meal was probably the most satisfying meal for Li Wei this year. Li Jianbo watched Li Wei happily eating, and finally he didn't come to the wrong place.

After eating, Li Jianbo said that he would take Li Wei to a nearby shopping mall, but Li Wei refused: "Forget it, I have nothing to buy, I will go another day."

Li Jianbo heard that he was not too reluctant. Zhao Qian called while in the car, and Li Wei answered the call.

"Have you got home smoothly?"

"Well, it went well."

"I'm sorry, I can't pick you up at the airport in person because I'm busy."

"It's okay, I know you are busy. Take care."

Zhao Qian said on the phone again: "It should be over in the middle of the twelfth lunar month, and then I can rest for a while. Then I will see you again. Wouldn't you be unwelcome?"

Li Wei smiled lightly and said, "How could it be, you take good care of yourself."

Although there are many things to say to each other, there are people around, so I just said a few words and hung up the phone. Li Jianbo drove the car and asked straightforwardly: "Who is calling?"

"Friend, ask me if I'm back."

"Oh." Li Jianbo didn't ask much.

Li Wei hadn't figured out how to explain the matter with Zhao Qian to her second brother. If she had used it before, she would have told her bluntly, but now that she knew what the second brother was thinking, it was difficult to say some words.

Back home, Li Wei opened the suitcase and took out the small tin box that Qi Jingzhen had handed over: "Second brother, this is what Aunt Qi asked me to give you. Aunt Qi said she kept it by her side for more than 30 years. It's time for you."

Li Jianbo glanced at the inconspicuous thing, and calmly picked it up, but didn't immediately open it in front of Li Wei. There was a secret in the small tin box, perhaps the secret he had been searching for for years.

Li Jianbo went into the room, Li Wei sat on the sofa with a pillow in his arms, and continued to study several domestic variety shows with high ratings.

However, after going out for a year, when I come back, I feel that variety shows have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, but the good and the bad are mixed, and there are bound to be shows that will be gradually eliminated.

The next day was the last day of the year. Li Wei woke up early. Although he still had a cough, his cold was more than half healed, and he was relieved a lot. After Li Jianbo went out, she packed up and took a taxi to the TV station.

When entering the elevator, she saw Hou Guangyao and greeted him proactively: "Minister Hou, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you?"

Hou Guangyao was not surprised to see that Li Wei was down. He smiled and nodded in agreement: "Li Wei is back."

"Well, I thanked you for your consideration before."

After getting out of the elevator, Hou Guangyao said to Li Wei: "Our department is still short of people. Would you like to come back?"

Li Wei is naturally willing, but it still depends on the arrangement above. She also truthfully said: "Let's see how the leadership arranges. If you ask me to go back to the news department, I will come back."

Hou Guangyao smiled and said: "Okay, I am waiting for your good news."

Li Wei went to the conference room, Qiu Ci and Fang Bin had already arrived. In one year in the UK, they all became friends with each other and forged friendship. I haven't seen each other for a day, and they have a lot of words with each other.

Qiu Ci asked Li Wei if the jet lag was upside down. Li Wei said, "I was still taking cold medicine, which helped sleep. I slept well last night."

Qiu Ci said, "It's okay for you, but I'm sleepy right now." It didn't take long for the deputy director and the person in charge of the personnel department to enter.

The deputy director affirmed everyone's year of studying abroad, and at the same time said: "You are the future of the TV station. I have made a career plan for each of you. No matter which position you are assigned, I hope you can work hard. He did his job well and presented his full enthusiasm to the audience in front of the TV."

Qiu Ci, who was also the host of Li Wei, returned to the Ministry of Finance and Economics. Fang Bin was assigned to the Sports Department. Fang Bin was very satisfied. The rest of the people had decided, except that Li Wei's name was not read. Li Wei was ready to return to the press department.
