Xia Jinhe was not in the right state. She was worried about Lu Yiwei. She said shyly, "Hello, Mayor Lin. I don't deserve to be called a professor. I mainly teach English at the university."
"Oh? English? " Lin Haifeng seemed to show great interest. He leaned forward and said, "Just in time, Professor Xia, I have a favor to ask of you. In two days, I'm going to meet an American businessman. I don't know any English. How about you be my interpreter?"
"This …" Xia Jinhe was a little confused. She looked up and met Lin Haifeng's eyes for a moment. Then, she hurriedly looked away and moved her eyes to Principal Song Zhongqi.
Seeing that Xia Jinhe did not respond, Song Zhongqi was so anxious that he jumped up and down. He tried to give her a look, signaling her to agree quickly. Xia Jinhe was very reluctant. She lowered her head and rubbed her hands with a red face.
Lin Haifeng's expectant expression was doused with a basin of cold water. The smile on his face froze. Seeing this, Song Zhongqi hurriedly got up and agreed on behalf of Xia Jinhe. "Mayor Lin, Professor Xia may be a little nervous to see you. She is so excited that she can't speak. Please don't take it to heart. As for you asking her to be your interpreter, she is more than happy. You can call her anytime you need. "
After listening to Song Zhongqi's explanation, Lin Haifeng was relieved. The smile returned to his face and he said, "Don't be nervous. I'm not a demon. Am I that afraid? Huh? Haha … "
Song Zhongqi hurriedly picked up his glass and walked behind Xia Jinhe. He kicked her chair with his foot and said to Lin Haifeng, "Mayor Lin, it's a great honor and a great spur for us to have you personally ask questions about Beizhou University today. I sincerely hope that you can visit the school when you have time and give us more valuable opinions and suggestions. On behalf of more than 10,000 teachers and students of Beizhou University, I would like to propose a toast to you with Professor Xia! "
Hearing that she was involved, Xia Jinhe helplessly got up and picked up her glass. She forced a smile and timidly stretched out her hand.
Seeing Xia Jinhe's expression, Lin Haifeng liked her even more. He actually got up and picked up his glass. "Okay, I'll drink this!" After that, he clinked his glass and drank it.
Xia Jinhe didn't usually drink liquor, so he just licked it gently. When Lin Haifeng saw this, he frowned and said, "Professor Xia, this won't do. I've already finished everything. Are you not giving me any face?"
Song Zhongqi winked again. Xia Jinhe had no choice but to close his eyes and drink it in one gulp. Instantly, he felt that his mouth was burning and his body was hot. He choked and coughed a few times. His face turned red and he lost his composure.
When Lin Haifeng saw this, he became even more affectionate. He laughed and said, "It seems that our Professor Xia really can't hold his liquor. However, drinking is something that requires training."
At this moment, Ding Changhua, who had been sitting at the side and had not spoken for a long time, joined in the fun and said, "Mayor Lin is right. If a woman learns to drink, she can drink more than a man. Hehe." After saying that, he turned to Tong Huan and said, "Tong Huan, a toast to Mayor Lin."
Tong Huan's mind was not on the banquet at all. Especially when she saw Xia Jinhe, she felt extremely uncomfortable. When she heard that Ding Changhua wanted her to propose a toast, she picked up a glass of wine and walked seductively to Lin Haifeng. She smiled sweetly and said, "Mayor Lin, I'm honored to have dinner with you today. I'd like to propose a toast to you."
Lin Haifeng didn't seem to be interested in Tong Huan. He glanced at her, picked up his glass, and licked it lightly. He put down the glass and continued to focus on Xia Jinhe.
When Tong Huan saw this, she returned to her seat awkwardly. This was something she hadn't expected. In terms of looks and appearance, she wasn't inferior to Xia Jinhe. However, she had lost her former glory today and lost in a mess.
Since there were provincial leaders next door, Lin Haifeng didn't continue to fight. He got up and walked out reluctantly. Before leaving, he patted Xia Jinhe's shoulder gently and didn't forget to tell her to eat and drink well.
After Lin Haifeng left, the atmosphere suddenly became lively, and they began to take turns to wear each other down. Ding Changhua had met Xia Jinhe once last time and admired this woman. He knew that Lin Haifeng was interested in Xia Jinhe, but he couldn't help but sit next to Xia Jinhe and try to get close to her. Obviously, Xia Jinhe was the star of the day, and Tong Huan was ignored.
Xia Jinhe could become a weapon to make friends in the political and business circles. Song Zhongqi, the president of Beizhou University, certainly wouldn't let go of this opportunity. He drank three or four glasses of wine with Ding Changhua. Ding Changhua was drunk and decided on the spot to cooperate with Beizhou University to form a joint venture with Donghua Industrial Group, which was mutually beneficial. Song Zhongqi was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He also promised to hire Ding Changhua as a visiting professor at Beizhou University. Ding Changhua gladly accepted this empty title.
After a few glasses of wine, Xia Jinhe felt dizzy, and her face turned red. Not only that, but her neck and arms were red and itchy. Xia Jinhe scratched twice, and a large red spot immediately appeared. She was so scared that she quickly hid her arm under the table.
A woman's mind was meticulous. Xia Jinhe knew why Mayor Lin had invited her to dinner today, but she was not the kind of woman who did things casually. How could she do such a thing? If it weren't for Song Zhongqi, the president, begging, she would never attend such an event. This was the first time, and also the last time.
After a long time, the fight was still fierce. Xia Jinhe felt uncomfortable all over, so she got up and said goodbye, leaving this disgusting place as if she was escaping. Ding Changhua chased her out of the door and tried to dissuade Xia Jinhe from staying. Seeing that dissuasion didn't work, he sent a car to send her back. Xia Jinhe ignored him, jumped into a taxi, and drove to the university.
A breeze blew through the window, and Xia Jinhe sobered up a lot. At this moment, the person she wanted to see the most was Lu Yiwei. Since she met Lu Yiwei, she seemed to have found a harbor to shelter from the wind. Especially at the most vulnerable time, she got a few words of comfort from Lu Yiwei, and her bad mood immediately became better. Men were the heavens. This seemingly abstract concept could only be vividly reflected in concrete matters.
Xia Jinhe found the phone in her bag and called Lu Yiwei. Before the phone was connected, tears were already flowing down her cheeks. After the phone was connected, Xia Jinhe heard Lu Yiwei's magnetic and warm voice, and the defense in her heart completely collapsed. She said with a sobbing tone, "Honey, where are you now?"
At this moment, Lu Yiwei was standing by the Tiantong River, enjoying the afternoon breeze. Bits and pieces of the past years kept emerging in his mind, and he was seriously reflecting. After hearing Xia Jinhe's voice, he put all this behind him and said eagerly, "I'm near the Tiantong River. Jinhe, what's wrong with you?"
Xia Jinhe said in an almost commanding tone, "Lu Yiwei, I want to see you now, right now, right now!"
"Okay, I'll go pick you up now. Tell me the specific location!" Lu Yiwei thought that Xia Jinhe had suffered a great grievance, and he felt a little uneasy.
Xia Jinhe glanced out of the window and said, "I'm going back to the university now. Wait for me at the school gate."
After receiving the order, Lu Yiwei drove to the gate of Beizhou University as fast as he could, anxiously waiting for Xia Jinhe to appear.
After a while, a taxi stopped in front of him, and Xia Jinhe walked out with a red face. Seeing this, Lu Yiwei immediately went forward to support her, and asked with concern, "Jinhe, are you okay?"
After seeing Lu Yiwei, Xia Jinhe's body suddenly went limp, and she crawled on Lu Yiwei's tall body, murmuring, "I'm fine."
After saying that, Lu Yiwei helped her to his car. When he was about to leave, the taxi driver roared at Lu Yiwei, "Hey! You haven't paid yet! "
Lu Yiwei forgot about this, and quickly ran over to take out 50 yuan and handed it to the driver. He apologized, "I'm sorry, thank you. Keep the change."
When Lu Yiwei returned to the car again, Xia Jinhe was already snoring slightly. He didn't know where to go, so he could only take her back to the dormitory.
Xia Jinhe was at most more than 50 kilograms, but she was drunk and heavy. After carrying her upstairs, Lu Yiwei was tired and panting. Xia Jinhe was still asleep. Lu Yiwei had no choice but to open her bag and look for the key. At this time, the teacher of the dormitory next door heard the noise and came out. When he saw this scene, he hurried to help. He opened the door and helped Xia Jinhe to the bed. He scolded Lu Yiwei, "You are Lu Yiwei, right? You are her boyfriend. Don't you know that she can't handle alcohol? You even let her drink so much. Look at what you've done to Xia Jinhe. You should pay more attention in the future. "
Being inexplicably scolded, Lu Yiwei felt wronged, but he still accepted it. He quickly nodded and said, "Your criticism is right. I will pay attention in the future."
"Well, my name is Lou Qingfeng, a colleague of Professor Xia. If you need anything, come to me at any time." After that, he quietly left.
Xia Jinhe frowned and slept soundly. Her red face was like a boiled egg, and its smooth surface was floating with the drunken red of the setting sun. Her body leaned to one side, one hand supporting her head, and the other hand trembling slightly in front of her chest.
At this time, Beizhou University was on vacation. Several dormitory buildings were still occupied by faculty and staff. The campus had become much quieter. Only the cicadas were leaning against the osmanthus tree outside the window and screaming wildly. This old tube-shaped building was very hot in the summer. Tiny beads of sweat oozed from Xia Jinhe's forehead. Lu Yiwei looked around and saw an electric fan on the side. He took it and pointed it at Xia Jinhe. When he was about to turn it on, he gave up the idea.
