The Long-awaited Mr Han
chapter-962

Ever since Xia Qingwei got well and was discharged, their lives had been advancing in a good direction.

Her job was going well, her pay was increasing, and she was doing sufficiently well in terms of finances and could move to a more comfortable home.

Xia Qingwei’s body was also getting better with the help of many kinds of supplements.

She could only hope that in this life, Xia Qingwei could live for a very long time.

She hoped to see her always be happy.

“Right, that variety show you participated in, what’s it called?” It was not that Xia Qingwei had not been keeping an eye on Lu Man’s job quite a lot. It was just that she really did not care much about variety shows.

“Classic X Files,” Lu Man said. “It airs on Dong Hua Satellite TV on the fifth day after the New Year at night, 9 o’clock.”

“Wait for a while.” Xia Qingwei went to wash her hand and took out a post-it to write it down, then stuck it on the fridge. “I have to open the fridge every day. Seeing this once every day, I’ll remember it.”

“Right, tomorrow is the first day of the Chinese New Year. Shouldn’t we go and greet the Old Mr. Han and Old Mrs. Han?” Xia Qingwei asked as she sat back down. “I’m just scared that there would be a lot of people going to give their greetings. If we go, it’ll be even messier.”

“Yes, we need to go and greet them for the New Year. Tomorrow, Zhuoli will come here to greet you, and after that, we will all go to the family house together. But Zhuoli still needs to go to the other families of the eight big families. He says that at that time, he’ll bring me with him, and you can just stay at the family house,” Lu Man said as she smiled.

This thing, she had decided long ago with Han Zhuoli. “I was planning on telling you today as well.”

“Aiya, then I’ll stay there alone?” Xia Qingwei felt very uneasy thinking about that. “If it’s only me and the two elderly, as well as Zhuoli’s parents, that’s fine. But if there’s a continuous stream of people coming to do their New Year greetings tomorrow, how awkward will I be there?”

“What is there to be awkward about!” Lu Man used a chopstick to pick up some meat, put it in the skin of the dumpling, and pressed it and grasped it. It became a white and fat dumpling. “There’s actually not a lot of people visiting the family house to give New Year greetings. Old Mr. Han said before that when he was young, he was busy with his career. Having social gatherings with business partners, spending days acting and scheming with people, and needing to go against his own morals to have business lunches or dinners with them, he was tired just thinking about it. And so, after retiring with much difficulty, he’s become too lazy to have to deal with people anymore. That’s why he’s spending his days with Old Mrs. Han in the family house in happiness. Other than his family and his real friends, he does not see anyone else.”

Lu Man put down a dumpling that she was done making and made another one with practiced ease. “So Old Mr. Han and Old Mrs. Han have not appeared in public in very long, and it’s because of that. A lot of people want to see the two elderly but are unable to. So every year when it’s the Chinese New Year, actually, it’s just Zhuoli’s friends who would come to the family house to give their New Year greetings.”

“It’s just that among the eight big families, the elderly ones have an especially good relationship. The younger generation also has especially good relationships, like they’re family members. As long as one family is bullied, the other families will hurry and back them up.” Lu Man thought about how she was slandered by The Performer and told Xia Qingwei about it.

“To help me deal with them, Wei Zhiqian withdrew his sponsorship for The Performer,” Lu Man said.

This situation, Xia Qingwei knew about.

“Wei Feng is Wei Zhiqian’s company?” Xia Qingwei asked in shock.

She did know that the main sponsor for The Performer was Wei Feng, but she did not link it to Wei Zhiqian.

“To be exact, it’s the Wei Family’s, and Wei Zhiqian is the head of the family now,” Lu Man said. “It’s the same for the others. The night the thing happened, they started to make a move. The reason The Performer‘s situation became such a mess was because of them. Otherwise, if it’s just me, I really don’t have that much ability.”
