Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 879 I'm Sincere

Xiao Hong said, "It's okay, I'll keep an eye on it for you."

Milia actually nodded and hummed in agreement. Xiaowei and Chen Hui exchanged a glance; Hao Dawei had a chance.

Xiao Wei asked, "Have you been home during this time?"

Milia glanced at Xiaowei: "Yes, I replied."

Xiaowei said, "Let Dawei help you move over sometime. You can decide whether to move to the house across the street or the one near the company. It'll be more convenient for you to take care of it, and it'll be good for your work too. The house won't be given to you for free; we'll have a unified cost price internally, and you can pay it back slowly from your salary."

Wei Yun said, "It's definitely going to the company. Xiaoya, move there, and you won't have to go through all that trouble."

Milia said, "Let me think about it, and I'll discuss it with my family. Okay?"

Xiao Wei said, "Okay, you can discuss it with them. But you'd better hurry, because you'll have a lot more work to do soon after you become the manager, and you might be a bit busy."

Miria said, "What will happen to my brother's school? Moving here is too far from the school."

Xiao Wei said, "It's okay, he can study here. I'll help your brother transfer to a better school. What grade is your brother in?"

Milia said, "He's in his first year of high school. I originally wanted him to live at school so he could settle down and study properly, but he wouldn't listen."

Xiao Wei nodded and said, "He's a very sensible child. I'll ask around tomorrow which high school is better, and then I'll transfer your brother there. Once you become a manager, our family's financial situation will improve, and your brother can focus on his studies. It's a good thing."

Milia nodded, thought for a moment, then took a step back and bowed to Xiaowei: "Thank you, I will definitely do my best."

Xiao Hong said, "I'm in a bind. I can't be jealous, and I can't not be jealous either."

Everyone laughed, and Milia smiled softly too.

Xiao Wei said, "Let's eat. Miliya, you go ahead and get busy. Hurry up with the moving."

Wei Yun sat down next to Xiao Hong and said, "I want to eat too, but I'm afraid of gaining weight. I've gained five pounds working here."

Xiao Hong glanced at her and said, "It's okay, you've grown in all the right places, don't worry. Besides, you're fat because you're lazy, it has nothing to do with eating."

Wei Yun reached out and pinched Xiao Hong: "You're the lazy one."

Li Xing asked Xia Maosheng in a low voice, "Is this one taken?"

Xia Maosheng said, "You've got your eye on her? Let me tell you, this girl's family is obsessed with spoiling her, you know? She's extremely well-protected and very naive. If you can't marry her and live a stable life with her, I advise you not to even consider it. Her dad might just grab a knife and go to the police station to attack you. Absolutely."

Li Xing asked curiously, "Then why can you still let her work here?" Back then, the hotel was a relatively chaotic place; all sorts of people could be there when they were drunk, and anything could happen.

Xia Maosheng curled his lip in disdain and said, "What kind of place is this? Do you think just anyone can come in? Besides, if we can't even protect our own store manager, what kind of business are we running? His dad trusted us, so he came to keep an eye on things every day at the beginning."

Li Xing twitched his face: "Let me think about it. I'm quite tempted."

Liu Huasheng said, "I like this guy surnamed Mi. He's so charming. It's a pity he's already taken."

Liu Huasheng said, "I'm not married, so why should I get married?"

Wei Yun glared at Liu Huasheng from the side: "You scoundrel, you're no good."

Li Xing stared in disbelief: "How could she hear such a soft voice?"

Xiao Wei laughed and said, "I heard everything." Everyone at the table burst into laughter; they had all heard him. He was used to speaking loudly, and even though he thought he had lowered his voice considerably, it didn't sound much different from when he spoke normally.

Li Xing said, "Hey girl, this isn't my business. I don't have a boyfriend. I'm serious. I need to seriously consider whether I want to get married, and I'll come find you when I've made up my mind."

Xiao Wei slapped his forehead and said, "She didn't hear what you said."

This made things even more fun. Xia Maosheng, Chen Hui, Xiao Hong, and Chen Xiao were all laughing hysterically. Wei Yun ran away with a flushed face, no longer staying there. Li Xing sat there, his face turning red and white, not knowing what to do.

Xiao Hong clutched her stomach and pointed at Li Xing: "Go on, go have a chat, otherwise this girl will avoid you in the future."

Li Xing glanced at the dishes on the table, licked his lips, and said, "Leave some for me." Then he got up and went to find Wei Yun.

Chen Hui glanced at Li Xing's retreating figure and said to Xia Maosheng, "You'd better make sure you talk to Li Xing properly. We hope he can find a good wife, but think it through and don't cause any trouble, or we'll lose our friendship."

Xia Maosheng also turned his head to look and said, "Tiezi is a reliable person. I'll talk to him."

Everyone chatted and ate and drank. Zhang Fu looked around at the people at the table and listened to their conversation while wolfing down his food. The waiter probably thought he was small, or maybe it was because he was sitting next to Xiao Wei, or maybe it was because he ate so well and quickly, so he gave Zhang Fu special treatment and served him his food the fastest.

Taking a sip of champagne, Zhang Fu asked Xiao Wei, "Second Brother, what kind of wine is this?"

Xiao Wei asked, "Champagne, from France, is it good?"

Zhang Fu said, "It tastes good. It doesn't taste like alcohol at all."

Xiao Wei said, "Foreign fruit wines don't taste like alcohol, but they have a strong aftereffect. You feel just as bad after getting drunk."

Unlike domestically produced champagne, imported champagne has a higher alcohol content, but because fruit wine is sweet, you can't really taste the alcohol while drinking it, yet it has a strong aftereffect. Actually, domestically produced champagne can also get you drunk.

Zhang Fu asked, "Don't they have baijiu (Chinese liquor) abroad?"

Xiao Wei said, "Yes, but it's not as good as our baijiu. It's a different kind, and we don't sell it here."

After chatting, laughing, eating, and drinking for a while, Li Xing returned looking bewildered. Liu Huasheng asked, "Damn, I thought you weren't coming back! How's it been all this time?"

Li Xing sat down, took a big gulp of champagne, asked the waiter for more rice, wolfed down a few mouthfuls, and then said, "She said I'm not tall enough, and then she said we have to ask her dad first, and if her dad agrees, we can start dating. Damn, don't most people only meet the parents after they've almost finished dating? Why is this one the opposite?"

Everyone laughed. Li Xing was about 1.75-1.76 meters tall, and Wei Yun was 1.72 meters tall without heels. Girls tend to look taller, so she wasn't much shorter than him.

Xia Maosheng said, "That's a good thing. It means he's serious and looking forward to marriage. It means he still thinks you're good enough. What else could you possibly want? Wei Yun is great. He's good-looking, tall, and has a great personality. He'd be a perfect match for you. If you really want to date him, then go ahead and meet him. If you haven't made up your mind, that's fine too. It'll save you face."

Li Xing ate his meal in silence. A waiter stood beside him and served him food. He finished a bowl of rice and drained his glass of champagne. He let out a long sigh and said, "I've met him, I'm really tempted." He paused for a moment and then said to Xiao Wei, "Get me transferred here right away. I've been bragging about how I'm in the provincial criminal investigation team."
