Was Aquaman’s ex-husband cremated today?
Chapter 66 Salon Party
Before leaving the house in the morning, Li Qingwen specifically told Mrs. Fan not to cook dinner.
Licheng’s financial exchange activities are held at the top of the Twin Towers every quarter. Li Qingwen had been here once before with Zhou Xixiang, but this time she went alone.
There are not many such exchange activities, and it is very rare to be invited. Although his elder brother has no time, Li Qingwen does not want to miss it.
Around two o'clock in the afternoon, in a magnificent space on the top floor of the Twin Towers, champagne and fine wines were flowing, and representatives of various banks and companies, as well as distinguished guests gathered, standing or sitting in groups of three or two in various corners, exchanging the latest industry information.
Not far away, a young and handsome man approached Li Qingwen.
Last time at an event, Zhou Xixiang brought Li Qingwen to greet him.
"Qingwen, you're not carrying a notebook with you to take notes today, are you?" Kevin works in an investment bank and he's often seen at events like this.
The last time Li Qingwen came here, he came with an attitude of learning. He followed Zhou Xixiang and recorded everything he heard. He didn't even have the mood to have a drink.
Now, hearing him teasing her, she couldn't help but blush. She handed over the cup in her hand and clinked it with his, and replied rudely: "I don't know who can run into the arms of a beauty while drinking. Has the lady whose clothes you soiled last time forgiven you?"
The old story was brought up again, and Kevin pretended to be sad and said, "I added her on WeChat and thought we could become close friends. But she received the compensation and deleted me the next day. I don't know if she will come today."
"What are you doing here? Are you asked to repeat it?"
"It's okay for her to splash water on me. It's a way of communicating our feelings." Kevin said confidently.
Li Qingwen shook his head and smiled.
After the two men finished chatting, Kevin pointed to a young man not far away and introduced him to Li Qingwen, "See? That's the young master of Weiye Group. He's a very capable young man. He just inherited the family business and he's already doing a good job."
Li Qingwen thought of Tong Xiao's experience and couldn't help but look at him twice more. He looked away and said, "I saw the news recently and it said that the chairman of Weiye Group was looking for his relatives. What's going on?"
Kevin said: "It's not just recently. I have been looking for more than 20 years. After I handed over the family business to my son, I devoted myself to finding my relatives."
Li Qingwen nodded hesitantly.
Kevin is a real socialite. More and more people came towards them. Li Qingwen greeted them one by one until a long-lost voice rang in his ears.
"Is that Li Qingwen? Long time no see."
Li Qingwen looked in the direction of the voice and saw his former Huayu colleague, Wei Ke.
He was wearing a smart suit and a neatly tied tie, looking like an elite.
As an employee who was dismissed by Huayu because of her, Wei Ke endured humiliation for the past three years and never contacted Li Qingwen. He was angry, angry that she did not respond, angry that they were such good friends originally, but because he wanted to take a step closer, she withdrew all her enthusiasm.
"Long time no see." Li Qingwen was a little surprised.
Wei Ke curled his lips, not disguising the contempt on his face: "Still in Huayu?"
Li Qingwen nodded: "What about you, where are you working now?"
Wei Ke smiled, his tone joking but with obvious complaints: "Thanks to you, I am now practicing law and serving as a consultant for Weiye Group."
Li Qingwen finally recognized his unfriendly tone.
She still remembered that he left Huayu very suddenly and she didn't even get to see him for the last time. When her colleagues came to tell her that he was gone, she had already lost the chance to apologize to him.
A colleague nearby heard their conversation and knew they were old acquaintances. He said, "The legal advisor of Weiye Group earns more than a million dollars a year, right? If it's thanks to Qingwen, then you should thank him."
Wei Ke raised the champagne in his hand, raised his voice, and said self-deprecatingly: "Yeah, when I was working at Huayu Bank, I was in love with Miss Qingwen and threw myself into her arms. Hey, what do you think happened? They reported me for workplace harassment and fired me directly."
Li Qingwen opened her mouth. She had explained to him on WeChat, but Wei Ke had never responded. Why didn't he believe that it wasn't her who reported it?
The men all loved to listen to gossip, and upon hearing this, they gathered around them.
Wei Ke was now full of pride and wanted to show off. He glanced Li Qingwen up and down and said, "Three years have passed. I didn't expect that Miss Qingwen is still as beautiful as ever, but..."
He paused, and took a step closer to Li Qingwen: "I like office romances. Otherwise, Miss Qingwen should also switch to Weiye. Weiye does not have the same golden rules as Huayu. Office romances do not hinder anyone."
Li Qingwen took a few steps back in panic and tried to distance himself from him.
Kevin is very good at observing people's expressions. He immediately stepped forward and said to Wei Ke with a smile, "So you are Qingwen's suitor. She doesn't love you, so you hate her and have been brooding over it for three years. Is that right?"
Wei Ke choked, not wanting to lose face in this situation.
Thinking of a recent piece of news about Huayu, he continued to sneer at Li Qingwen and said, "You don't know, Miss Qingwen is really amazing. Vice President Zhou of Huayu Bank was also suspended because of her recently."
The moment he left Huayu, he suddenly realized that he should not gamble his future for love, but it was too late.
The financial circle is so small, and because he violated the regulations knowingly, his peers in the industry were afraid to hire him. As a last resort, he later entered the legal industry through the introduction of a friend.
Wei Ke feels that it is God's gift that has enabled him to hold his current position.
If he had known that she didn't even take Huayu's vice president seriously, he would not have been so stupid as to violate the rules.
The eyes of the surroundings were once again focused on Li Qingwen, and sighs came one after another, as if they were looking at a female devil, a jinx, and any male elite who met her would be in bad luck.
Li Qingwen clenched the wine glass, his face pale.
She couldn't argue because it was the truth. But she was also within the rules, so was it fair to blame her for the punishment?
Forget it.
Why did she get away with it all?
Wei Ke thought he would never run into Li Qingwen again after leaving Huayu, but he was surprised to see her here today. After scolding her, he saw her pursing her lips and not talking back when she was bullied. She was still so attractive...
"Miss Qingwen, I think we should have a drink to each other and this matter will be over." Wei Ke held out his hand with champagne, looking magnanimous.
Li Qingwen stood there, being watched by everyone.
Without extending her hand, she simply raised her head and drank the wine in her hand.
Wei Ke was unyielding and handed over his own cup, then picked up a new cup from the waiter.
After Li Qingwen took it, he still raised his head and drank his own drink.
Wei Ke smiled coldly and continued to hand over the wine in his hand stubbornly.
At this moment, a hand took the glass of champagne faster than Li Qingwen, accompanied by a cold rebuke: "Can't you see that she doesn't want to drink with you?"
Zhou Yongan was dressed simply in a white shirt and dark brown trousers, looking casual and handsome, standing out in the crowd.
He held the snatched glass of champagne in his hand and glanced coldly at Wei Ke.
The people near Zhou Yongan made room for him, looking at the media darling, the vice president of Huayu, and couldn't help but admire him in their hearts, he is really a rare talent. He is so young and successful, and he is so imposing!
Wei Ke recognized Zhou Yongan.
He was not afraid. After all, they had never worked together before, so why should he be afraid of Vice President Zhou who had just been suspended?
So, he smiled and joked, "It seems that Mr. Zhou Er came here today to snatch this glass of wine from me."
After all, he was dismissed because of Li Qingwen.
Zhou Yongan glanced at him and ignored him completely. He walked straight to Li Qingwen and handed the wine in his hand to her.
His voice was warm and full of concern: "You're not very good at dealing with me, but you don't know how to fight back against others?"
As he said that, he grabbed Li Qingwen's hand and threw the glass of wine into Wei Ke's face.
