Accidentally Married to the Big Shot-Chapter 281 - Hes Back Again

Chapter 281: Chapter 281 He’s Back Again

Chapter 281 -281 He’s Back Again

Xi Huarong began to analyze, “Gu Wei is a very capable person. From the information I have, currently, he has three options. First, he could return to Feng City to join the public security system, starting from a regular official position. Of course, with his capabilities, promotion won’t be an issue in the future, but due to Feng City’s developed economy and abundant talents, the path to promotion could be somewhat longer.

Additionally, being a local whose family is in business, his talents and family background compared, others are more likely to focus on his background, which could easily attract envy.

Second, Bei City also wants to absorb him, but Bei City, needless to say, is where national talents flock to, and he would start at a low position there, making his path to prominence even longer. I believe he wouldn’t consider Bei City, unless you prefer to go there.

Finally, there’s Yun City. Gu Wei already has certain connections and a status in Yun City, and once he transitions, it would be at a deputy department level. He could go to core institutions to utilize his talents and aspirations. If he deeply cultivates in Yun City for about a decade, he could similarly move to Bei City in the future, where it won’t be an expendable position, but he would be transferred directly to a significant post, which would be much faster than climbing up in Bei City.”

Su Meixi understood what Xi Huarong meant.

It was like her being a doctor. If she initially went to a major hospital, she would have to start from the lower levels, and it would take several years to become a chief physician. However, if she went to an ordinary hospital, she could directly handle cases and accumulate experience. If she later went to enhance her skills at a major hospital, her qualifications would be evaluated faster than doing so at a big hospital, and her experience would seem more profound.

She asked Xi Huarong, “So, godfather wants me to persuade Gu Wei to stay in Yun City?”

“Yes, Yun City needs talents like him. If he’s in Yun City, he can work directly under me, and I’ll groom him properly.”

“But the decision of his stay isn’t up to me; ultimately, it depends on what he wants.”

“I understand.”

Su Meixi got out of the car, a gust of cold wind hit her; she wrapped her coat tighter.

Xi Huarong knew how to manipulate people.

Perhaps he genuinely wanted Gu Wei to stay in Yun City, or perhaps he wanted Su Meixi not to leave Yun City, but either way, as long as it related to Gu Wei’s future, Su Meixi could not afford to ignore it.

With Su Meixi’s personality, she feared others compromising their future because of her.

She hoped that Gu Wei wouldn’t return to Feng City for her sake, even if it meant she wouldn’t live in a big villa.

…

New Year’s Eve.

Today, Su Meixi only needed to work the day shift because of the festival, and there were no patients in the afternoon.

Thus, she could leave work an hour and a half earlier.

It was not yet dark, and the hospital was exceptionally quiet today. Unless it was a severe illness, people firmly opted not to visit the hospital.

However, either tomorrow or late tonight would briefly become lively. Each year at this time, some would have fish bones stuck in their throats or overeat and suffer from stomach pains.

This wasn’t Su Meixi’s concern, as during the Spring Festival, few people visited the pain management department.

She walked out of the hospital; it was the time for reunion dinner, and the streets were nearly empty.

Year after year, the flowers looked similar, and every time it came to this moment, she felt exceptionally bleak.

She was almost used to it.

She headed home.

In the compound, the guards were also having their meal. They saw her returning and wanted to greet her, but she wrapped her face in her scarf, deep in thought, so the guards just gave up.

At this time in the compound, every household conveyed laughter and joy, and some children were happily playing with small handheld fireworks outside.

Some who recognized her would greet her, “Dr. Su, have you finished work?”

Su Meixi nodded, “Come and visit me tomorrow for the New Year, I’ll give you red packets, but not too early, I’m afraid I won’t wake up.”

“Sure, sure,” the children clapped.

Actually, they couldn’t get up early either because they had to stay up late tonight, and they could sleep in on the first day of the new year.

Another child then asked her, “Dr. Su, have you had your reunion dinner yet?”

Su Meixi smiled, “Not yet, I’m going home to eat.”

She planned to go home and make instant noodles because it was New Year’s, maybe adding a sausage and a couple of boneless chicken feet.

However, just as she reached her home’s doorstep, she found the lights were on.

Was Gu Wei at home?

She took out her keys and opened the door, immediately smelling the fragrant scent of boiled fish, which instantly stirred her appetite. She felt hungry and particularly wanted to eat.

At that moment, Gu Wei came out with a plate of plain boiled chicken, and upon seeing her, he smiled brightly, “Ah Xi is back? Hurry up, wash your hands and come eat the reunion dinner!”

“I thought you said you weren’t coming back,” she asked while washing her hands.

“There wasn’t much going on in the military, so I applied to come home. It’s the same if I go back after the first day. This year, I have to accompany my wife for the New Year no matter what.”

“If you had said you were coming back earlier, I wouldn’t have bought any New Year goods.”

“I bought them,” Gu Wei pointed toward the living room filled with large and small packages.

Su Meixi had already washed her hands, and she helped serve the soup.

As the lanterns were lit, it turned out to be a very warm New Year.

Li Family.

Since Xi Wanlin and Li Hengze had registered their marriage, it seemed they were already married, and Li Shirui had her join the Li Family’s reunion dinner.

Li Hengze, of course, was pleased.

Since Xi Wanlin was still the daughter of the Xi Family, her coming over made her in-laws treat her even better, asking her warmly and continuously inviting her to eat more.

The Li Family’s reunion dinner was very lively; they had chefs and waiters from a hotel come over to serve at home, and Li Hengze’s two older brothers had also returned, along with their wives and children; there were over ten people altogether.

However, Xi Wanlin suddenly felt disinterested.

She had always wanted the approval of her father-in-law and mother-in-law. However, she knew they only valued her for being a Xi.

Without this relation, she was nothing.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t separate herself from this relation nor from the acknowledgment of the Li Family members, so she spent the entire evening pretending to enjoy their company.

During the dinner break, she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket.

She took it out and saw that it was a message from Lu Lei, “Happy New Year’s Eve!”

She quickly put the phone back in her pocket.

Li Hengze, curious, leaned over and asked, “Oh, who’s contacting you?”

“A friend,” she responded indifferently.

Li Hengze didn’t dare to ask further.

Xi Wanlin quietly continued eating; the dinner was quite noisy. Li Family’s second brother’s child threw a tantrum wanting to go home, scolded by his wife, the child burst into loud cries. The mother-in-law then chided her daughter-in-law, saying, “Have a bit of patience with the child, will you?”

The daughter-in-law felt wronged; usually, the child was taken care of by a nanny and didn’t listen to her. Now that it was the reunion dinner and there was no nanny around, she couldn’t manage the child.
