Chapter 60：Girlfriend's attendance check

Although he had doubts in his heart, Li Weijie didn't want to show it. He wanted to say that he had already eaten, but it would make him look like he was afraid of her and didn't dare to eat. 

How could a man, a real man, be afraid of a girl? 

Can he suspect that she would poison the food? Li Weijie wondered for a moment, then smiled and took a piece of pastry to eat. 

"Thank you. Um... Miss Lai seems to be in a good mood?"

"What do you think?" Lai Yayan asked with a smile.

Although he couldn't tell for sure, Li Weijie felt that there seemed to be something hidden in her shining eyes. 

This wicked girl hated him so much, it couldn't suddenly change. 

There must be some new calculation!

"Well... thanks for the pastry. I've already eaten, so I'll go back to my room first," Li Weijie said, getting up and saying goodbye. 

Anyway, Chu Piaopiao wasn't here, so there was nothing to talk about with her.

"So soon? Don't you want to wait for Piaopiao?" Lai Yayan followed suit.

Li Weijie smiled faintly. 

"I don't have anything important. I just came to see you guys. I'm tired from the day, so I'll go back."

Lai Yayan didn't stop him, but Li Weijie could feel her gaze on his back. He just couldn't determine whether she had a sinister or smiling expression at the moment.

Back in his room, Li Weijie made a phone call to Xu Rong and reported the situation at work. Of course, he didn't mention that he had come to the five-star hotel with two girls.

Xu Rong seemed to trust him and encouraged him, saying, "Don't be nervous. Everyone has a first time. You may not have as much experience as them, but in terms of qualifications, you are on the same level as them as a judge. Remember that."

"Okay, thanks, Rongjie." 

Li Weijie genuinely appreciated her words. He had known that Xu Rong was focusing on his development, but the conversation with Luo Xuan this afternoon made him realize even more. 

Xu Rong understood his strengths and weaknesses, and she not only wanted to improve and correct his shortcomings but also tried to do so subtly, so as not to touch his self-esteem and self-confidence. He was truly grateful for that.

"What are you thanking me for? Hehe, you're being too polite." 

Xu Rong chuckled elegantly and then seemed to realize something. 

"Oh... hehe, are you trying to say that you went on my behalf?"

"No... Rongjie, I genuinely appreciate you." 

As Li Weijie said those words, he became even more determined in his decision: no matter what, he would support Xu Rong and ensure that her hard work, which was also the Shijie, would not be in vain!

Although he was aware that his current strength was not yet strong and he couldn't make much of a difference against powerful competitors like Monienzo, he was willing to work hard and try to improve his abilities in all aspects as much as possible. This made him even more aware of the importance of the opportunity Xu Rong had given him.

"Alright, you've worked hard this time. When you come back, let me treat you to a meal."

Li Weijie suddenly realized that he hadn't treated Xu Rong to a meal after he received his salary. He felt a bit embarrassed and quickly said, "When I come back, I'll treat you to a meal!"

Xu Rong didn't mind and briefly told him about the personalities of several other judges she knew so that Li Weijie could have a general understanding of them and facilitate his socializing in the coming days.

After hanging up the phone, Li Weijie hesitated for a moment. Should he call Su Keko? Being alone in a foreign place, he kind of missed her.

Just as he was thinking about it, Su Keko's call came in, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Keko, you're still not asleep?" Li Weijie asked gently.

"Hey, boyfriend, it's been a day since you arrived in H City. Any interesting encounters? Hehe, have you hooked up with any female contestants?" 

Su Keko's crisp voice came through, and he could imagine the mischievous smile on her face.

"Hey! Do you usually address me like that?" Li Weijie found it funny how she called him "boyfriend," and her subsequent remarks made him laugh and cry. But her words made him shake his head repeatedly.

"Hehe, aren't you my boyfriend? Why are you shy?" Su Keko continued to laugh.

"Do you encourage your boyfriend to flirt with female contestants like this?"

"Hmph, I trust you completely. You might have the intention, but you don't have the courage."

"Intention? Hey, don't provoke me. If I had any intentions, I wouldn't spare you first."

"Hehe, so you have no intentions or courage? Then I don't need to worry anymore?"

Worry? Li Weijie almost burst out laughing. He wasn't her husband, so why worry about it?

"Oh, I see!" 

Su Keko suddenly seemed to understand something. 

"There's a saying, right? When you're young, you have the intention but not the courage. When you're old, you have both the intention and the courage, but you no longer have the opportunity. You must have both the intention and the courage now, huh? Hehe... but there's nothing good to steal!"

"What?" 

Su Keko's words made Li Weijie widen his eyes. It was too exaggerated. 

"Impossible! Huh, if it's true, would you dare to call my attendance check so quickly? Hang up quickly!"

"What are you thinking? I just said I met them and went to the hotel together. I didn't say we stayed together or had a one-night stand! Besides, it's already the second night today! If there was a one-night stand, it would have been last night."

"Huh, you're just not honest," muttered Su Kek in a low voice.

"Alright, girlfriend, is the attendance check over? I still need to review some documents. That's it!"

"Well... okay."

Hanging up the phone, Li Weijie couldn't help but feel a little lost. 

Could it be that she was genuinely worried about me? 

He couldn't help but picture Su Keko's lovely and cute smile in his mind.

Then he couldn't help but smile again. 

Stop daydreaming, is that even possible?
