Last night's score was 1050 pieces, with zero mistakes and a time of 12 minutes and 52 seconds.
I am very satisfied.
At West Point in the afternoon, I received a WeChat message from Hu Li: "Girl, at 5:30, at the door of the dormitory, our department director will be waiting for you there. Come with us. Our director knows the location, so just follow us. Reply received."
"good."
"I plan to wear that strapless little black dress today. Remember to bring your little jacket. I can wear it if it gets cold at night."
"good."
At 5:15, I go downstairs. It's rude to make people wait. There were one or two gardenias blooming in time for the flowering season, with a faint fragrance floating around. More than half of the people in the hospital dormitory were at work, so it was very quiet. I only waited for less than a minute when someone called me: "Baozhu."
A black car was parked next to the sports field, and a young man stood in the driver's seat.
I hesitated a little: "Director Li?" I walked over quickly.
He smiled and said, "You don't know me, do you?"
I bowed slightly and said, "This is the first time I saw you in casual clothes, so I didn't recognize you for a moment."
He motioned for me to get in the car, and I saw that he was already sitting in the car, so I quickly got into the passenger seat and sat down.
Hospitals were quickly left behind.
The car was very smooth. I didn't know what to say, so I didn't speak. Director Li didn't say anything, and the car was very quiet.
And I enjoy the silence.
"Do you mind if I call you Baozhu first?" Director Li suddenly said.
I turned to look at him, and he glanced at me and said with a smile: "Hu Li often calls you in the department, and Baozhu is longer than Baozhu, so I subconsciously followed her in calling you that way."
"She talks more." I said.
Director Li felt a little dumbfounded, "Is this the point? Shouldn't the point be whether I can call you like this?"
"What's wrong with that? It's up to you! Please pick me up today." I said respectfully.
"Baozhu," Director Li sighed, "I'm only seven years older than you, and your attitude is as if I'm your uncle."
I can't answer the question.
Director Li said: "My full name is Li Zhiyuan, Ning Jing Zhiyuan, Zhiyuan, or call me my full name. Anyway, Hu Li and the others also call me Li Zhiyuan."
Then I really have never heard Hu Li shout like this. But I never cause trouble to others. I always follow the good advice: "Okay, Li Zhiyuan, thank you for coming to pick me up."
"You're welcome," Li Zhiyuan said, "Want to listen to some music?"
I nodded.
It doesn't matter if there is music, flowing music can make people stop talking.
Cars pass through the streets and alleys. This city is beautiful and clean, and the economic conditions are much better than those of my hometown. The pedestrians on the road look in a hurry. This is the rush hour for getting off work, and many road sections are jammed. I looked at my watch, it was less than half past five.
Director Li said: "It will take about fifty minutes. Don't worry."
Me: "There's no rush."
There's really no rush, it's just subconscious.
At half past five today, just like every Friday before, my goal will appear there on time.
"Cheng Peng arranged for us to stay at the city mansion on the lakeside. Dinner will be served at seven o'clock. The venue is reserved for dining and entertainment." Director Li said.
I nodded: "Yeah, I'm interested."
Director Li smiled again: "Your tone is very much like that of a parent."
I laugh too.
"However, you are indeed a family member." Director Li said, "There is not a day that goes by that Hu Li doesn't mention you. The first thing he does when he gets to work is to look up and see if you are in the office."
He turned his head and glanced at me quickly, "You may be more important than Cheng Peng."
Yes, this is what Hu Li would do. In the past, at school, the first thing she did when she returned to the dormitory was to open my curtain to see if I was there.
"You know you can see your office and lounge when you look up in our department, right?" Director Li said.
I know, this is one of the reasons why I turn off the lights and practice dissection in the dark.
