The story of the boss after retirement

Chapter 1 Engagement Banquet

"Why did Young Master Zhou invite Li Wei to his engagement party? Aren't you afraid she'll cause trouble?"

"What can Li Wei do? She is an orphan without a father or a mother. Besides, they are just in a relationship."

"But so many people know about their relationship, and Zhou Xiaoyang's engagement partner is not Li Wei. Doesn't she feel bad?"

"She is a scheming woman. I guess she is here to find a rich man at the engagement party. What is there to discuss?"

A group of rich young masters and young ladies were whispering at the sight of Li Wei who had just walked in. Li Wei knew what they were talking about. Most likely, they were talking about how shameless she was to attend her ex-boyfriend's engagement party. However, Li Wei would not act on impulse. Her expression did not change. She still looked pitiful and greeted the people she knew with a proper smile. She had seen so many looks of contempt and looking down on others that she had long been immune to them. However, her heart still ached. Li Wei, her energy-cultivation skills were still not up to par.

Li Wei, 22 years old this year, just graduated from college, majored in finance, and has not found a job yet. She doesn't know whether she was banned by her ex-boyfriend's family in the industry or by his fiancée. The dress she wore at today's engagement party was bought by her using three credit cards, just to avoid being looked down upon.

But her dress was only worth over 40,000 yuan, while most of the rich ladies present were wearing dresses worth hundreds of thousands. It was said that Liu Xiaojing's engagement dress was high-end custom-made and worth millions. Li Wei knew this because her former roommate, Liu Li, showed off in the dormitory group. Liu Li was Liu Xiaojing's distant cousin, and she had always been proud of it. Liu Li hated Li Wei.

The male and female protagonists of today's engagement party are Zhou Xiaoyang and Liu Xiaojing, one is her ex-boyfriend and the other is her roommate's cousin.

Li Wei met Zhou Xiaoyang when she was in her sophomore year of college. At that time, Li Wei was a member of the school's external relations department. She followed the president to run a sponsorship event and came to Zhou Xiaoyang's family company. Zhou Xiaoyang was a senior at the time and was interning at his own company. Naturally, he took better care of his younger schoolmates. After more contact, Zhou Xiaoyang began to pursue Li Wei.

Although Li Wei was born in an orphanage, the orphanage was sponsored by kind-hearted people, and orphanages in big cities always have sufficient resources and often have volunteers to carry out activities. Li Wei also went to college with the help of many people, and kind-hearted people sponsored her tuition and living expenses for four years.

Li Wei is very fair, with delicate features between her eyebrows. She has been the class beauty since she was young, but she knows how to hide her shortcomings. She knows very well that she is an orphan and has no one to support her. However, since she was a child, she has had good academic performance and her classmates are all very simple, so nothing has happened to her. But after Li Wei came to Haicheng University, she saw the prosperity of Haicheng and her mentality changed.

Haicheng is the economic center of coastal cities with a developed financial industry. When Li Wei applied for university, she went to this beautiful city, but found that there was no place for her in Haicheng.

The finance course is not difficult, what is difficult is the connection. Students who can be admitted to Shanghai City University have a good IQ. What finance ultimately needs is connections. From the moment she entered the school, Li Wei was voted the class beauty. She was not ostentatious and always looked like a good student. She left a good impression on the professors and teachers. Everyone likes a beautiful and studious child.

Unfortunately, Li Wei's background is too poor, almost nothing. For a girl born in an orphanage, it is like climbing the road to Shu for her to make a name for herself in the financial industry. Even Li Wei's counselor talked to Li Wei and asked her if she wanted to change her major to study education. This way, it would be better to take the civil service exam than to stay in the financial industry, at least it would be easier to find a job.

Many of Li Wei's classmates chose this field because their families have people working in the financial industry. There are many young and inexperienced people like Li Wei, but at least they have parents to support them. Even if they do not end up working in this field, at least their families will not starve. However, Li Wei only has four years to plan for herself. She cannot find a job after graduation, and without family support, she cannot go back to the orphanage. She is truly alone.

When Li Wei was admitted to university, the orphanage gave her 5,000 yuan in funding, and a kind-hearted sponsor gave her 10,000 yuan. However, this amount of money was just enough for Li Wei, who had just entered university. A computer, a mobile phone, and daily necessities, even the most common brands, cost almost 10,000 yuan.

Li Wei did not rely entirely on other people's support. As soon as she arrived in Haicheng, she started looking for a part-time job. The most popular job was of course tutoring. Li Wei had a gentle personality and was not aggressive. The tutoring trend was very strong in Haicheng. She charged 100 yuan an hour and could work eight hours a week, which meant she could earn three to four thousand yuan a month.

Li Wei does not shy away from her orphan identity, but the girls in her dormitory are all in good condition and they just get along just fine. Li Wei feels like she is cold at heart and can never be warmed up. She can smile at everyone, but she can't make close friends with anyone. She likes this kind of socializing with boundaries, but Liu Li thinks she is a scheming woman and pretends to be noble.

The reason why Liu Li thinks Li Wei is pretending to be noble is very simple. The boy Liu Li likes likes Li Wei. It is so bloody. As soon as she entered the university, Li Wei was the class beauty. Girls with good personalities are always popular, but Li Wei always rejected him gently. She knew that the means of rejection should not be too harsh. This is the experience she has accumulated over the years. She has no one to support her, so even the rejection must be gentle, because she cannot bear the revenge of others.

The boy Liu Li likes is called Wang Yiyu. This boy likes Li Wei. He knows that Li Wei has rejected many people, so he wants to start with Li Wei's roommate and ask Li Wei's roommate to help her out. But he tries to please Liu Li, so Liu Li thinks he likes her and she feels complacent for several days.

When Wang Yiyu shyly asked Liu Li if she could help to make an appointment with Li Wei, Liu Li was furious. She had been a recognized beauty since she was a child, but Li Wei, an orphan, had caused her to suffer such humiliation. Children who were spoiled since childhood were always more pampered, but Liu Li did not have a particularly bad heart. All she could do was hate Li Wei.

Because she hates Li Wei, all of Li Wei's behaviors are green tea and little white flower in her mind. So many boys like Li Wei, but Li Wei always rejects them softly, which seems unconvincing. In Liu Li's view, this is green tea and keeping a spare tire.

Liu Li isolated Li Wei in the dormitory. When she brought delicious food to her roommates, she never prepared any for Li Wei. When she asked her roommates to go out and play, she would never look for Li Wei. Li Wei was happy to keep herself quiet. Anyway, she was cold by nature and a smile was her mask.

Although Li Wei envied her classmates' good family background, she did not lose herself until she met Zhou Xiaoyang. Zhou Xiaoyang was handsome, funny and humorous. He studied business administration, which was a good major for him, after all, his family really had a company to manage.

When Li Wei was pursued by Zhou Xiaoyang, she was incredulous because her conditions were too poor. Li Wei thought Zhou Xiaoyang was just after her beauty, but it happened that the tutoring industry suffered a heavy blow at that time and Li Wei could no longer be a tutor.

Li Wei also thought about becoming an anchor, but she was not extremely beautiful, she had no talent, and she did not have the gift of being good at dealing with people. She did not want to skirt the line when doing live broadcasts. Li Wei tried to do emotional graphic and text promotion, but after three months, she only had 200 followers, so she gave up. Instead of racking her brains to come up with emotional analysis, she might as well continue working.

Maybe Li Wei was cold and hard by nature, and she couldn't understand why those people were so deeply in love. In order to gain fans in those three months, Li Wei read a lot of emotional posts, but she was confused every time. Why did the girl still love the man even after he cheated on her? Why was she willing to have three abortions for this man? Why did the mother-in-law make things difficult for the daughter-in-law but she could only cry and not fight back? Li Wei wanted to vomit after reading these posts.

Zhou Xiaoyang pursued Li Wei without being ostentatious, but he gave Li Wei a feeling that he was determined to win her over. Li Wei had never been in a relationship at that time, and she was very curious about what it was like to be in a relationship. Moreover, Zhou Xiaoyang was very generous, and the breakup fee for each of his girlfriends was five figures. Out of curiosity and to keep away those boys, Li Wei agreed to Zhou Xiaoyang's pursuit.

Until Li Wei graduated from university, she had been in a relationship with Zhou Xiaoyang for three years, making her Zhou Xiaoyang's girlfriend for the longest time. During this period, Zhou Xiaoyang created a lot of romance for Li Wei, and Li Wei also got to know Zhou Xiaoyang's brothers and family.

When they first met, Li Wei was keenly aware of the contempt in their eyes, but everyone was a matter of appearances and no one would speak nonsense with low EQ. Even if there was, Li Wei had a soft personality. Everyone knew that she was a piece of cotton, and they gave Zhou Xiaoyang face and did not make things difficult for her.

Li Wei never thought about marrying Zhou Xiaoyang. She knew the gap between them. During their relationship, Li Wei felt split. One part of herself was deeply in love with Zhou Xiaoyang, and the other part was just watching coldly. Because of Zhou Xiaoyang, Li Wei got an internship at a well-known financial company and had the hope of getting a full-time job, but at this time Zhou Xiaoyang was getting engaged to Liu Xiaojing.

Li Wei only learned about this news a week ago, and it was Liu Li who came to tell her. Li Wei was stunned at the time. Was she dumped? Zhou Xiaoyang would not give her a breakup fee!
