At this moment, Li Dawei walked over with a plate and sat down next to the poplar tree as if no one else was there.
Yang Shu knew that Li Dawei had helped him out of the awkward situation and eased his embarrassment, so he gave him a grateful look.
"Why are you alone? Officer Chen, Mingcheng, where are they?"
Li Dawei said with a distressed expression,
"You have no idea how tired I am from the whole morning. My master should be here soon, right? Mingcheng is still in the archives."
Then, Yang Shu took the initiative to ask,
"What? You look so relaxed, have you taken care of everything?"
Li Dawei said with an indifferent expression,
"It's nothing serious. I just got scolded by the leaders, wrote a 3,000-word self-criticism, and am waiting for the bureau's decision."
Seeing that Li Dawei didn't seem to care about yesterday's events at all, Yang Shu couldn't help but sigh.
"Li Dawei, sometimes I really admire your attitude,"
Hearing Yang Shu's words, Li Dawei smiled and said,
"Didn't I already tell you? This is the result of training since I was little."
My elementary school teacher once summarized it this way, saying that I was the unreliable side of myself, and that I didn't remember anything at all.
Yang Shu couldn't help but give Li Dawei a thumbs up.
"I have only one word for it: I'm impressed."
At that moment, Xia Jie and Wu Mingcheng also got their food and walked over to them, sitting down next to them.
Xia Jie asked curiously,
"Accept what? Did you two make a bet?"
Yang Shu explained to the two of them,
"No, I'm impressed by Li Dawei's optimistic attitude. Such a big thing happened yesterday, but he seems like nothing happened today."
Speaking of Li Dawei's mindset, even Wu Mingcheng had to admit he was beyond optimistic; he was downright carefree.
Xia Jie said with a smile,
"Hahahaha, his mentality is truly beyond words, but it's all in the past now."
Unexpectedly, Li Dawei then said with a sullen expression,
"It's not that easy to get through."
Then, he exaggeratedly gestured with his hand to indicate the height of the file to Xia Jie and the other two.
"My master is making me handle such a huge pile of files; it's clearly another form of punishment. Do you think this is something a human being would do?"
Upon hearing Li Dawei's words, Wu Mingcheng and Xia Jie both suppressed their laughter.
Because when Li Dawei said this, there was already someone standing behind him, and that person was his (Zhao Lihao's) master, Chen Xincheng.
Clearly, Chen Xincheng also heard Li Dawei's words, and his face immediately darkened.
At this moment, he sat down directly next to Li Dawei. Li Dawei turned his head and saw Chen Xincheng, feeling a wave of embarrassment.
Chen Xincheng said with a dark face,
"What? Doesn't it look like a human word to me?"
Li Dawei immediately said...
"Of course...of course...no,"
Chen Xincheng glanced at him, then lowered his head and began to eat.
Li Dawei then winked at Xia Jie and Wu Mingcheng, who were sitting opposite him, clearly questioning why they hadn't told him that Chen Xincheng was coming.
Xia Jie then spread her hands, revealing a helpless expression.
Upon seeing this, Wu Mingcheng immediately smiled.
Chapter 366 A Small Gathering
Suddenly, Li Dawei thought of something and said to Yang Shu,
"Oh, by the way, Poplar Tree, the house is ready to move into. I moved in this morning."
You'd never guess that our neighbors are Xiaojie and Mingcheng!
"You should move in as soon as you have some free time. Don't hesitate to ask if you need any help."
Upon hearing this, Yang Shu nodded.
When they heard that Xia Jie and Wu Mingcheng were living together, they all looked at them with strange eyes.
Wu Mingcheng then explained,
"Don't overthink it, Xiaojie is just sharing an apartment with me, nothing more,"
Later, instructor Ye Wei also approached Li Dawei about Zhao Jiwei's accommodation problem.
She considered that Zhao Jiwei staying at the institute for so long wasn't a sustainable solution; it would eventually wear him down.
Therefore, after hearing that Li Dawei was renting a place nearby, she specifically talked to Li Dawei about Zhao Jiwei's family's financial difficulties.
Li Dawei was also easy to talk to; they were all good friends, and since he happened to have a spare room at home, he reduced Zhao Jiwei's rent by a portion.
After getting off work that evening, the four of them agreed to have a meal at home as a welcome-back dinner.
Unsurprisingly, they chose the simplest, most convenient, and most atmospheric option: hot pot.
They went to the supermarket and bought a lot of groceries. Since Li Dawei's family didn't have any pots, pans, or utensils, they chose to eat at Wu Mingcheng's house.
As soon as the group entered Wu Mingcheng's home, they were immediately stunned by its luxurious decor.
Moreover, the appliances and furnishings in the house look very expensive.
Li Dawei couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"Yang Shu, you still call me a nouveau riche? Mingcheng is definitely a real nouveau riche, this house is too nice!"
After talking for a while, Li Dawei couldn't think of any adjectives, so he could only use "good" instead.
Zhao Jiwei was also a country boy; he had never seen such a luxurious house before.
"Oh, I'd be content if I could have a house like this for the rest of my life,"
After putting the things in the kitchen, Yang Shu said to Li Dawei in a rather irritable tone,
"Of course it's great. Didn't you see that all the furniture in Mingcheng's house is from designer brands, and even the floor tiles are imported?"
And other people's homes have all kinds of appliances, unlike yours where you don't have anything at all.
Li Dawei immediately said...
"Of course! How much is our rent? It can't compare to Mingcheng's."
Xia Jie, who was in the kitchen, saw the group and said...
"Alright, what time are you planning to eat? Aren't you going to come and help?"
Upon hearing this, the group quickly went to the kitchen to help wash and plate the vegetables.
A short while later, Wu Mingcheng, Li Dawei, Xia Jie, Yang Shu, and Zhao Jiwei sat around the dining table eating hot pot.
Li Dawei was a typical optimist, only concerned with the present moment. He immediately picked up a bottle of beer and said,
"Come on, let's have a drink, my new neighbors and new roommates,"
Wu Mingcheng glanced at him, picked up his beer, and clinked glasses with him a few times.
Just then, the pot boiled, and Li Dawei quickly picked up his chopsticks.
"Oh my god, it's finally done! I'm starving! Everyone, eat quickly!"
Wu Mingcheng and the others exchanged glances; they really couldn't do anything about Li Dawei.
As they ate, the group began to recount their experiences at the institute over the past period.

Unexpectedly, after this explanation, the group seemed rather sullen.
Yang Shu said to them, somewhat dejectedly,
“I’ve been reflecting lately, and I think I might have come to the wrong place, making mistake after mistake,”
Li Dawei said curiously,
"Yang Shu, is it really that serious? You're already starting to question the meaning of life?"
Yang Shu said earnestly,
"I've been thinking about whether to pursue a doctorate in law, especially after comparing myself to Mingcheng. I've realized that my master's degree is quite different from Mingcheng's."
Upon hearing this, Li Dawei was immediately taken aback.
"Oh, weren't you going back to the Municipal Public Security Bureau?"
Yang Shu shook his head.
