Wei Keli was not completely stupid.

He could also see those people were patronizing towards him and did not take him seriously.

His work in Nacheng was hardly smooth.

So far, he had not accomplished anything!

He was in Nachang, and so was Qin Murong.

He knew Qin Murong was probably done for in the Qin family.

However, he felt even if Qin Murong was done for, the Qin family would not really leave her to her own devices.

Moreover, he was in a foreign land and it was rare to have an old friend with whom he was familiar.

It felt as though she was the only person in the ice and snow whom he could find comfort in, so he got along quite well with Qin Murong in Nacheng.

Perhaps because Qin Murong was already married, she was not so free and did not see him often.

Wei Keli threw himself at work with little success in Nacheng and occasionally contacted Qin Murong.

This took up most of his energy. Regardless of whether he was busy or simply did not bother to find out, Wei Keli did not know Tan Mo had come in champion in the mathematics competition.

Five gold medals.

Now that he knew, Wei Keli couldn’t tell anyone that his work in Nacheng wasn’t going well.

“I’ve been very busy with work over there, so I haven’t been paying attention to the news in B City,” said Wei Keli.

Li Xiangrong’s face darkened.

He couldn’t keep an eye on B City just because he was overwhelmed with work in Nacheng.

In comparison, Tan Mo was able to multitask brilliantly.

Was it not even more obvious Wei Keli was inferior to Tan Mo?

“There are only seven days of holidays for the spring festival. I could only come back yesterday on New Year’s eve. Since I only arrived in B City yesterday afternoon, I didn’t have the time to look for Momo. If I was able to come earlier, I would have contacted Momo first,” Wei Keli explained.

Tan Jinsheng pursed his lips and thought to himself. Did Tan Mo give a hoot about him?

“It’s fine. There’s no rush,” Xu Mingzhen said with a smile.

He wasn’t going to give Wei Keli a real answer anyway.

“When will Momo come back?” asked Wei Keli again.

Xu Mingzhen thought to herself. Was he planning on waiting for her?

Had he forgotten about the way he helped Yuan Keqing speak ill of Tan Mo?

Here he was acting as if nothing had happened and was looking forward to seeing Tan Mo.

Xu Mingzhen wanted to vomit.

“I’m not sure either,” said Xu Mingzhen. “A lot of people is visiting us for the Chinese New Year today. I was afraid Momo would be bored, so I told her she could go anywhere she wanted after visiting a few families with Zhiqian. There’s no need to rush back.”

Wei Keli still couldn’t get to see Tan Mo.

More people came to visit the Tan family for the Chinese New Year.

Wei Keli’s family couldn’t stay here any longer.

Wei Keli thought after calling on them today for the Chinese New Year, he would be completely free. He would then ask Tan Mo when she was free.

After he was done, Wei Keli sent Tan Mo a WeChat message.

Before he could receive a reply from her, he received a message from Yuan Keqing.

Yuan Keqing asked, “Keli, are you free the day after tomorrow? I haven’t seen you for a long time.”

The moment he was reminded of Yuan Keqing, he recalled it had been a long time since they last met. He didn’t know what she had become.

Wei Keli readily agreed.

Yuan Keqing asked, “Keli, is it convenient for you to pick up the phone now?”

“Yes.” Wei Keli had just finished replying when he received a call from Yuan Keqing.

“Hi, Keli.” Yuan Keqing spoke softly. Her voice sounded particularly gentle and vulnerable over the phone.

“Hi, Keqing.” When Wei Keli heard Yuan Keqing’s voice, his mood improved a lot.

“Keli, how are you doing in Nacheng?” asked Yuan Keqing with concern, “Whether it’s the food, the climate, or the convenience of living, there’s a big difference compared to B City. Are you used to it there?”

Wei Keli was touched when he heard Yuan Keqing’s concern.

Other than his mother, only Yuan Keqing sincerely cared about him.

Usually in Nacheng, only Li Xiangrong would call him from time to time to show concern.

Wei Zhijian never asked.

He had finally returned from Nacheng yesterday, but only Li Xiangrong cared about him.

Wei Zhijian only had a dark expression on his face. Other than asking him about work, he had nothing else to say.

Wei Keli didn’t dare to lie to Wei Zhijian, so he told him the truth.

He also wanted Wei Zhijian to stand up for him and put his colleagues in their places.
