Li Jiawei paused for a moment, stared at Wang Xin and asked, "Wang Xin, what do you mean?"

Wang Xin took a deep breath and said frankly, "Sister Li, to tell you the truth, it was Director Qiao who asked me to come here to ask you to go back."

Li Jiawei looked puzzled. "Go back? I have already submitted my resignation letter?"

Wang Xin explained, "Director Qiao has been holding back your resignation letter. A lot of things have happened in the bureau recently, and the district committee has already paid attention to it. Director Qiao originally planned to wait until the storm was over before approving your resignation letter. But yesterday, the municipal party committee office suddenly sent a notice to the district to set up a joint tourism and cultural working group, which needed to draw personnel from various units to assist, and your name was on the list."

Li Jiawei looked at Wang Xin's embarrassed expression and suggested, "Why not just tell the comrades of the municipal party committee that I have resigned and cross out my name or replace it with someone else?"

Wang Xin shook his head and sighed, "If only things were that simple. As soon as the notice arrived at the bureau yesterday, Director Qiao contacted the Municipal Party Committee, but the comrades from the Municipal Party Committee said that your name was added by Secretary Xu himself."

Li Jiawei looked embarrassed. "Wang Xin, you know, my departure and the situation in the bureau were not very pleasant."

Wang Xin said, "Sister Li, I understand. This is embarrassing for you. But Director Qiao is also helpless. This year is crucial for her promotion. If she makes a mistake, all her efforts over the past few years will be wasted."

Li Jiawei gently turned the teacup in her hand and stared at the sky outside the greenhouse. She knew that the future of a bad person was like taking someone's life, which was related to the future of others, and it was difficult for her to say no.

It wasn't that she was too chaste, but Director Qiao was a bit of a smooth talker on some issues, but he still took good care of her in many ways. Faced with this situation, it was hard for her to refuse directly.

"When are you required to report?" Li Jiawei asked.

"Next Monday at 12 noon." Wang Xin replied quickly.

Li Jiawei hesitated for a moment and said, "Wang Xin, I need to think about it and I will give you an answer tomorrow morning."

Wang Xin nodded, "Okay, Sister Li, thank you for your help."

Li Jiawei shook her head gently. "It's not a problem, but it's a bit difficult."

At this time, Zhao Xue interrupted and said, "Sister Li, Section Chief Fang has been punished. After she came out of the detention center, she was punished by the unit, and then she took sick leave. It is estimated that she will not work again until retirement. Two days ago, I met her on the street. Her hair was all white, and she had lost her spirit. She looked quite pitiful."

Upon hearing this, Li Jiawei simply said, "Everyone has their own difficulties, and everyone has their own unsatisfactory lives, and everyone must bear the consequences for their own mistakes."

Zhao Xue said enviously, "But you are so lucky now. You have found a good man. You will have no worries for the rest of your life. Why do you have to be so fussy?"

Li Jiawei looked at Zhao Xue and smiled, "I'm not being petty. It was the law that put Section Chief Fang under administrative detention, not me. And I'm not looking for a man." Then she paused and asked, "Did you see the house number when you came in? What's the name of this yard?"

"I saw it, his name is Li Yuan!" Zhao Xue replied.

"Then what's my last name?" Li Jiawei asked.

Zhao Xue was stunned. "Your last name is Li."

Li Jiawei smiled slightly and said no more. She just picked up the teacup and sipped the tea slowly.

Wang Xin noticed Li Jiawei's displeasure, glared at Zhao Xue, then stood up and said, "Sister Li, we'll leave first. We still have some things to do at work. I'll wait for your news."

Zhao Xue stood up awkwardly, secretly speculating on the source of the Li family's wealth. Aren't Li Jiawei's parents farmers? When did they become so rich? Did she win the lottery? But even if she had money, she probably couldn't buy this house!

Li Jiawei also stood up and said, "I'll take you there."

Wang Xin refused and said, "Sister Li, it's cold outside, please don't send me off."

Li Jiawei smiled and said, "It's okay. I've been in the greenhouse for a long time today. It's time to go out for a walk."

Li Jiawei put on her coat, changed into leather boots, and said, "Let's go."

Zhao Xue noticed that the road Li Jiawei took them was not the same as the one they took here, so she asked, "Sister Li, this road is different from the one we took just now."

Li Jiawei smiled and explained, "This road is closer to the gate and has fewer detours." When she first arrived at Li Garden, she often got lost because the garden was too big. But after walking more often, she found several paths that she thought were convenient.

When they walked to the straight road leading to the gate, a black car slowly drove in from outside the gate.

The car drove up to them and stopped, the window slowly lowered. Seeing the person in the car, Li Jiawei immediately stepped forward and said, "Uncle, you are here."

Li Hongxing smiled and said, "I just came back from a meeting in Beijing. I took a day off and came back to see the old lady." He then looked at Wang Xin and Zhao Xue behind Li Jiawei and asked, "Are these two your friends?"

Li Jiawei nodded and responded, "Yes, they came here specially to deliver something to me today."

Li Hongxing smiled and said, "Okay, it's cold outside, I won't bother you." Then he said to Wang Xin and Zhao Xue, "Come to my house often when you have time."

Watching the car slowly drive away, Li Jiawei continued to walk forward with the two of them until they were outside. She said gently, "Since you have work to do today, I can't keep you here any longer. I'll treat you to dinner next time we meet."

Wang Xin replied absentmindedly, "Okay, thank you, Sister Li. You should go back soon. It's quite cold outside."

Li Jiawei asked with concern, "How are you going to get home? Have you driven? Do you need me to call a car for you?"

Wang Xin waved his hand quickly and said, "Sister Li, don't bother me. We drove here by ourselves and parked our car in the parking lot in front."

Li Jiawei nodded and said, "Okay, drive carefully on the road."

After Li Jiawei returned to Li Garden, Wang Xin and Zhao Xue continued to walk forward. After only a few steps, Wang Xin suddenly stopped and turned to Zhao Xue and asked, "Zhao Xue, did you feel familiar with Sister Li's uncle when you saw him just now?"

Zhao Xue nodded in agreement. "Yes, it looks very familiar. I seem to have seen it somewhere before, but I just can't remember where."

Wang Xin thought for a moment, then took out his phone and started searching. After a moment, he stared at the photo on the phone screen, stunned.

Zhao Xue curiously leaned over to take a look. After seeing the content on the phone screen, she couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, "Governor Li? Sister Li's uncle is actually the governor? How is this possible!"

Wang Xin came back to his senses, quickly put his phone in his pocket, and told Zhao Xue, "Don't spread this information."

Zhao Xue tried to calm down her shock and nodded repeatedly to promise, "I won't say anything nonsense." However, she was already in a state of confusion. She was secretly wondering: How could Li Jiawei's uncle be the governor? If he was the governor, how could Li Jiawei be willing to be a contract worker for eight years with her work ability? Is there some other hidden story? Or does he have some special hobby?

Zhao Xue couldn't understand Li Jiawei's choice. What confused her even more was that since Li Jiawei had such a background as her uncle, why did her ex-husband Zhang Yi choose to divorce her? Is it true love that is invincible?

Zhao Xue thought this reason was ridiculous and shook her head repeatedly, her heart full of confusion and puzzlement.
