Wang Gang and Li Xiaoyue stayed for two hours to sort out all the details of the first-year party and the housewarming party before leaving.
When Li Xiaoyue left, she was holding her notebook in her arms, and her mind was filled with the planning of the first-year banquet. She seemed extremely serious, and Wang Gang was afraid that she would fall while walking.
Shen Lin closed the door and said to her husband Na Wei: "What happened to Shen Lei recently? He is getting divorced and wants to resign. Why do I feel that he is a little pretentious?"
While holding his son, Na Wei said: "It must be stimulated by the divorce. You still don't know about your brother. He appears to be lighthearted, but in fact he falls in love with Xie Meilan."
Shen Lin's face turned dark and she said, "Why don't I talk to Xie Meilan."
Na Wei shook his head and said: "Since Shen Lei doesn't want you to interfere, just don't mess around."
"What do you mean by messing around!" Shen Lin shouted angrily: "That's my only brother, how can I just watch him get divorced?"
Na Wei advised: "Men are all about saving face. If your brother knew that you had visited Xie Meilan in private, you would definitely feel embarrassed."
Shen Lin hesitated slightly and said worriedly: "Then what should I do? Shen Lei's condition is obviously not right. I'm really afraid that he will mess up his work."
Na Wei said: "If you ask me, you should arrange a blind date for Shen Lei as soon as possible to keep him distracted."
Shen Lin wondered: "Can it be done?"
Na Wei smiled mysteriously and said: "You listen to me on this matter. I am also a man. I definitely know better than you about men's things."
Shen Lin narrowed her eyes slightly and asked strangely: "What's the matter with a man?"
Na Wei was startled and interrupted: "What I mean is, let Shen Lei get to know more girls to dilute Xie Meilan's influence."
Shen Lin hummed and said, "Do you have any girls of the right age in your company?"
Na Wei took a slow breath and said, "I'll keep an eye on it, and you can also look around to see if there are any girls of marriageable age around you."
Shen Lin took out her mobile phone, opened her address book, and said distressedly: "I have been a housewife for five years, and my social circle is very narrow. I want to talk to colleagues I knew before."
The couple sat down to discuss what kind of girl to introduce to Wang Gang, without even thinking about asking Wang Gang whether he wanted to go on a blind date.
…?…
Wang Gang sent Li Xiaoyue to the subway station, and Xie Meilan's phone call happened to come, and Wang Gang answered it in front of Li Xiaoyue.
"I have also moved away. It turns out that the house has been returned. You paid the rent before. I will return it to you. I still have some of your things here. Do you still want it?"
"What is it?" Wang Gang asked.
"They are all your previous books and awards. When you left, you only took your clothes. I will keep the other things for you." Xie Meilan said.
Wang Gang thought for a while and asked, "Where are you now? I'll go get it."
Xie Meilan said: "Everything is at my new residence. I will send you a message."
Wang just hung up the phone, and the message came quickly. He found that Xie Meilan's current residence was in a high-end community near the CBD, and the rent was not cheap.
Li Xiaoyue kept listening and waited for Wang Gang to hang up the phone before saying, "If you have anything to do, go ahead! I'm going to the subway station anyway."
Wang Gang put away his phone and said, "It's nothing serious. I happened to take the subway together. Xie Meilan wanted to show me the house she lives in now."
"Ah? Why!" Li Xiaoyue said in surprise.
"Prove to me that she will only live a better life without me." Wang Gang shrugged and said indifferently.
"Are you okay?" Li Xiaoyue asked carefully.
Wang Gang shook his head and said nonchalantly: "I have put Xie Meilan down a long time ago, so it doesn't matter."
Li Xiaoyue looked at Wang Gang with a strange expression, always feeling that he had changed too much in the past few months.
"Are you serious about resigning?" Li Xiaoyue suddenly asked.
"Of course." Wang Gang chatted while walking: "I have long been tired of this job."
"It's not easy to take the civil service exam. If you resign, you won't be able to get in. Have you thought clearly?" Li Xiaoyue asked.
"You also think it's wrong for me to resign?" Wang Gang raised his eyebrows.
Li Xiaoyue waved her hands quickly and said: "No, no, how can I be qualified?"
Wang Gang smiled and said: "I thought you could understand me. Don't you just fire the boss as long as you are dissatisfied?"
Li Xiaoyue blushed and felt a little embarrassed.
"I hate working overtime, but I don't hate work." Li Xiaoyue said.
"I don't hate my current job, I just feel it's not suitable for me. I hate the rules and regulations within the system." Wang Gang explained:
"The most important thing is that I have a way to make money without working, so I naturally want to live more comfortably."
Li Xiaoyue said with envy: "You are talented and can use your talent to cash in. Unlike ordinary people like me, who can only work hard to make money."
Wang Gang said: "You can't say that. Everyone has their own areas of expertise. Just like you are good at planning events, I can't compare."
"What kind of talent is that?" Li Xiaoyue said sheepishly.
"You are very good at drawing. You can outline my brother-in-law's opinions on the first-year banquet with a brush. This is also a talent." Wang Gang asked back:
"You should really like drawing, right?"
Li Xiaoyue nodded and said: "I studied painting when I was a child, but later I found that there were too many people who were better than me, so I gave up. When I was doing planning after work, I found that it was easier to draw the plan than to write it out, and it was also more likely to be accepted by customers."
Wang Gang took out Li Xiaoyue's notebook and pulled out several sheets of drawing paper. They were all plans she had drawn, including the venue layout for Zixuan's first-year banquet.
"You are very talented in this area and have a strong sense of space." Wang Gang pointed out a few places and said, "But if I add a few strokes here, the sense of layering will be stronger."
"You also know how to draw." Li Xiaoyue said in surprise.
"I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit," Wang Gang said modestly.
The two of them sat on the subway and started chatting about painting. They didn't feel the passage of time. When Li Xiaoyue came to her senses, the subway had already reached the CBD.
"I'm leaving first. Remember to send a message when you get home." Wang Gang greeted Li Xiaoyue and then walked off the subway.
Li Xiaoyue looked at Wang Gang's leaving figure and took out the revised painting. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.
Wang just got off the subway and walked for about ten minutes to the gate of a high-end residential complex. As soon as he was about to enter, he was stopped by the property security guard.
"Sir, where are you?" the security guard said politely.
"I'm going to building 6." Wang Gang said.
"I'm sorry, the community implements access control. If you don't have an access card, you won't be allowed in. Please ask your friend to come out and pick you up!"
Wang Gang was about to call Xie Meilan when a Land Rover parked next to him.
"Mr. Shen, are you here to see Mei Lan?" Lu Jie stretched out his head and said.
Wang Gang narrowed his eyes and said calmly to Lu Jie, "Mr. Lu! You live here too."
Lu Jie smiled and said, "Let me take you in! I have the access card."
Wang Gang thought for a while and got into the car directly.
The Land Rover drove into the underground parking space of the community and parked directly in the exclusive parking space of Building 6.
Lu Jie took Wang Gang with him in a familiar manner, took the elevator directly upstairs, arrived at the door of Xie Meilan's house, and then pressed the password to open the door.
When Xie Meilan saw Wang Gang and Lu Jie coming in together, a trace of panic flashed across her face.
"I met Mr. Shen at the gate and came over together." Lu Jie said with a smile.
