After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Chapter 164: Covering the Costs

The noise in the restaurant suddenly died down, and everyone turned their eyes to Liang Yanni. Liang Yanni looked helpless and sighed softly: "When I was in college, Peng Rui helped me. He asked me to tell you something, and I really can't refuse. But it's up to you to decide whether to meet Zhang Yi or not."

Li Jiawei couldn't help but sigh. However, under this circumstance, she couldn't directly refuse Liang Yanni, so she had to respond: "Okay, I understand. I will contact him when I have time."

Liang Yanni felt very sorry for this, but thinking of Peng Rui's kindness in college and the fact that he had only asked her for this one thing over the years, she found it difficult to refuse, so she said, "Jiawei, I'm really sorry to have caused you trouble. I'll toast you a glass as an apology."

Seeing Liang Yanni saying this, Li Jiawei raised her glass of juice and said, "Don't say anything to apologize. You and I can drink one for the sake of our friendship, but today I'm driving, so I'll drink the juice. You can do whatever you want." The two of them clinked their glasses lightly, and the matter was over. Liang Yanni drank the wine in her glass in one gulp.

Wang Xin stared at the two of them, stood up and said, "Okay, let's not talk about people from other classes. Let's talk about our class. Do you remember Song Xiao?"

Li Jiawei was deeply impressed by Song Xiao. During the four years of college, the two had similar personalities and family backgrounds. They were both introverted and not good at socializing.

But in comparison, Li Jiawei is better off. At least she made a friend, Zhao Chenyue, in college, who gave her someone to accompany her and confide in during her college years.

Ma Chao asked curiously, "I haven't heard from Song Xiao since graduation, and there's no news about her in the class group during the holidays every year. What is she doing now? Why did you mention her suddenly?"

Wang Xin sighed and said slowly: "Hey, everyone knows that Song Xiao and I are from the same hometown. She comes from a single-parent family and was raised by her father. After graduating from college, her father unfortunately died in a car accident. At that time, I helped her deal with her father's funeral.

But I haven't seen her since her father passed away. Some time ago, because of the class reunion, we all contacted each other more in the class group. Yesterday, one of her students contacted me, and I learned that she had been working as a volunteer teacher in remote areas for many years. "

At this point, Wang Xin paused for a moment, picked up the glass and drank it all, then said: "She is sick now and needs surgery, which will probably cost nearly one million. But she has used all her money to support poor students over the years, and she doesn't have much savings. Her school can't afford that much money either. I think I should take this opportunity to raise funds from everyone. I will personally donate 50,000 first, and everyone can give as much as they like. I will give the money to the hospital."

Li Jiawei looked at Wang Xin and asked, "Is this news true?"

Wang Xin nodded: "Well, I have contacted her attending physician and the hospital."

Li Jiawei said: "It's not easy for everyone. I'll pay for her surgery and other expenses."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Li Jiawei. This was not a small amount of money. The hospitalization fee plus the surgery fee and other expenses would cost at least one million yuan. However, Li Jiawei was able to bear it so readily. It seemed that she was indeed in good financial condition now and was no longer on the same level as them.

Li Jiawei noticed everyone's reaction and said with a smile, "Why are you all looking at me like this?"

Wang Xin came back to his senses, poured himself another glass of wine, stood up and said: "We are here to show our admiration! Classmates, let's toast to classmate Li Jiawei. We won't say much about thanking you, when Song Xiao is discharged from the hospital, let her tell you in person. Now, everything is in the wine!"

Li Jiawei also stood up with the others: "We have to thank our squad leader Wang Xin. If you hadn't told us, we wouldn't have known about Song Xiao's situation. She is very admirable. Please give me her contact information later. I want to contact her directly."

Wang Xin said: "Okay!"

The meal was a happy but heavy one. Li Jiawei watched everyone get in their cars and leave. Zhao Chenyue and Wu Ziqi called a taxi back to the hotel. Zhao Chenyue was going to get her cosmetics. Wang Xin was the last to leave. He had drunk alcohol, so he called a designated driver.

Watching Wang Xin's car turn and merge into the rolling traffic, Li Jiawei stood in the empty parking lot, feeling a sense of loss after the prosperity. Tomorrow, all the classmates will go their separate ways, and I don't know when I will see them again.

As for Zhang Yi, Li Jiawei did not meet him. She knew that meeting him again would only mean that she would forgive Huang Keren, and that their family did not have the ability to compensate her for her losses.

But since he allowed Huang Keren to do that, he had to bear the consequences. The case was being followed up by a lawyer, and she only cared about the final result. Forgiveness was impossible, and withdrawing the case was absolutely impossible.

Three days after Xiao Yi came back, he left Xishi at Xue Tao's urging. Li Jiawei still didn't go to the airport to see him off. His fame was too great, and he was a dazzling presence wherever he went. It was better to have less trouble than more.

At the end of September, the filming of the Xishi tourism and cultural promotional video was finally completed. Li Jiawei and Zhou Dan sorted the various materials into categories and then filed them.

During this year or so, they traveled to many places. Although the work was hard, they also took the opportunity to visit various scenic spots in Xishi and get in touch with various traditional cultures that they would not normally be able to access.

Zhou Dan put the file box neatly into the box and sighed, "Jiawei, I'm going back the day after tomorrow. I really don't want to leave here."

Li Jiawei smiled and said, "You don't want to go back?"

Zhou Dan curled his lips and said bitterly, "Of course I don't want to go back. Working in the Disciplinary Inspection Commission, I'm faced with all kinds of materials every day. I feel like my brain is not enough. I'm so stressed that I lose a lot of hair. I'm almost bald. Now that I've finally grown some hair, it's leaving me again. Besides, it's so good to be in the working group. I'm on the road most of the time, and the work pressure is not great at all."

After hearing what Zhou Dan said, Li Jiawei laughed and said, "Don't you complain every day that you can't go home?"

Zhou Dan immediately said, "It's true that I can't go home, but it's relaxing. You see, we deal with nature every day, and we don't deal with people very often. Except for the promotional film shooting, we need to deal with TV stations, various folk craft masters, and collectors, but they are all cultured people, easy to communicate with, and don't use your brain."

Hearing Zhou Dan say this, Li Jiawei couldn't help laughing. Of course, it's a no-brainer. Once when she went out to dinner with people from the TV station, Zhou Dan got five or six leaders of the TV station drunk by herself. After that, no matter what requests they made, she would meet them at the wine table.

After that, when they went to other units to discuss matters, the first thing Team Leader Chang Gang did was to invite them to drink. After a drink, everything was easy to discuss. This trick worked every time and saved them a lot of trouble.

Zhou Dan looked at Li Jiawei who was packing her things carefully and asked, "Jiawei, are you still planning to go back to the Finance Bureau of the Economic Development Zone?"
