In the next few days, Lin Shi followed Shi An and Shi Yi to lay their bodies at home.

If she wasn't watching TV, she would just follow Uncle Shi Yi playing computer games, and play with Shi An on the game console that Lin Yi gave her. She didn't have too much fun.

Lin Shi lamented again that childhood without going to school was indeed the happiest.

Now every day, Lin Yin sends her to Shi An's house before going to school, and then Lin Yin picks up Song Qingyu after school in the afternoon and then comes to Shi An's house to take her home.

Because Shi Yi owns a car, when the three of them feel too bored staying at home every day, Shi Yi will drive her and Shi An out for a ride.

Also because Shi Yi doesn't like cooking, he takes the two of them out to eat junk food every day recently. The three of them have reached a united front and will never let Lin Yin and Luo Jie know about these things.

Lin Yin, who had just returned home with Luo Jie after class, said, "I'll come over early tomorrow to receive alms, and I'm going to attend the birthday party."

"You have to watch your shift tomorrow night. I don't know when I'll be back."

Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and it’s the day we made an appointment to go to Director Xu’s house.

Luo Jie also listened to Lin Yin talk about what happened on the train, "Okay, don't worry about the studio."

"Tell me, if Shi Shi and Song Maoting don't discover the human trafficker, then Director Xu's grandson may not be able to be found."

"How do you plan to thank you for inviting you to the birthday party this time? His official position is not low."

Originally, if you wanted to express your gratitude, you could just treat someone to a meal in private, but Luo Jie was a little curious about inviting someone to such a big occasion as a birthday party.

Lin Yin rejected Luo Jie's idea, "Maybe they just remembered it and hosted a banquet for us. Besides, we have had contact with Song Maoting before at work."

"Stop thinking so wildly. If something happens, can I not tell you when I get back?"

Lin Yin looked at Luo Jie's detailed analysis and complained that she watched too many TV series and could always think of many things.

"Okay, I'm going to take the alms and go home. I still have to cook when I get back, so I won't chat with you for now."

When Lin Shi heard Lin Yin's call, he knew he was ready to go home. He ran out the door and shouted, "Shi'an, see you tomorrow."

The next day, Lin Shi stayed at Shi An's house as usual during the day. The only difference today was that at four o'clock, Song Maoting left work and brought Song Qingyu to pick up Lin Shi.

Only then did Lin Shi realize that today was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and it was Director Xu's birthday party.

Lin Yin also came back from get out of class early to dress up Lin Shi and Song Qingyu. To show respect, she even gave Lin Shi a difficult braid.

The four of them dressed neatly and carried their gifts to the banquet address given by Director Xu.

Lin Shi looked at the address and saw that the birthday party should be held in a hotel, not at home. It seemed that the party was quite grand.

"Hey, isn't this an acquaintance?"

The Lin Shi family took a taxi to the hotel entrance. Just as they were about to go in, they heard a strange voice coming from behind.

Lin Shi turned around and rolled his eyes. It was him again, unlucky.

The person who came was a middle-aged man, Zhang Weimao, the father of Zhang Wenjie, an old acquaintance of his.

Song Maoting and Lin Yin had no intention of paying attention to Zhang Weimao, and were preparing to walk into the hotel with their children and gifts in hand.

When Zhang Weimao saw Song Maoting bringing the tea set, he was even more sure that this family was coming to Director Xu's birthday party, so he stood in front of him without even thinking, "Are you coming to Director Xu's birthday party too?"

Lin Shi couldn't understand, even though he made it clear that he didn't want to pay attention to him, he still moved forward.

Song Maoting looked at Zhang Weimao's reluctance and said helplessly, "You'll know what I'm here for when I get in."

This kind of person, if you don't want to pay attention to him, he will always stick to him. Obviously no one wants to see each other. Song Maoting doesn't understand Zhang Weimao's thoughts.

Zhang Weimao looked at the other party dragging his family with him and said sarcastically, "It's just that you have been out of the job for a few years, but you don't understand the rules so much? You are here to attend a birthday with your family and your family, do you really think you are here to have a feast?"

Lin Shi:? It was understood.

Song Maoting really didn't want to deal with him anymore, "You don't have to worry about what I'm here for. Just take care of yourself."

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the hotel with his family.

Lin Shi had never seen such a person before. She raised her head and asked Song Maoting in confusion, "Dad, does he really think that we will come by ourselves if no one invites us?"

She felt that no one in this world should be so ungrateful. They only know how to ridicule others wherever they go. Didn't he think that if Uncle Xu hadn't invited them, they wouldn't be here?

Song Maoting lowered his head and glanced at his daughter, "Because that's what they are. We don't need to care about such people. Just stay away from them."

Her daughter's question reminded Song Maoting that when she worked with Zhang Weimao, she also attended Director Xu's birthday. Most of the people invited at that time were people within the system, but not all positions were invited.

He was invited to go because he had a connection at work. Zhang Weimao went along without being invited. It can be said that he looked familiar.

At that time, Song Maoting admired Zhang Weimao's courage. He felt that there was no shame in earning connections based on his ability.

But later he saw Zhang Weimao being sarcastic towards other people who used this method, and he also saw Zhang Weimao using petty tricks against others several times.

Only then did Song Maoting realize that Zhang Weimao's methods were somewhat dirty and he was extremely jealous. Since then, he had stayed away from Zhang Weimao. Such a person certainly could not be trusted as a subordinate in the workplace.

Lin Shi nodded, she didn't want to pay attention to it, but she always encountered him every once in a while, which was really unlucky.

Lin Shi followed Song Maoting into the banquet hall and saw Uncle Xu surrounded by many people from afar.

It's no wonder that Zhang Weimao said that they had a family with them. From a glance, Lin Shi saw that most of them were middle-aged people in formal clothes, and there were very few children as young as her, Song Qingyu.

It was the first time in her life that she saw such a scene. She nervously held Song Qingyu's hand.

As soon as they walked in, many people noticed Lin Shi's family. Many of them knew Song Maoting, after all, they had worked in the same government unit before.

Song Maoting led Lin Shi towards the direction where Director Xu was. On such an occasion, he must first say hello to the owner.

Director Xu also saw Lin Shi's family over there.

"I've finally waited for you." Xu Jin came up to him immediately and patted Song Maoting on the shoulder.

Song Maoting handed over the birthday gift smoothly, "Director Xu, happy birthday."

"Oh, it's great if people are here. Why bring gifts?" Xu Jin took the tea set.

Xu Jin glanced at Lin Shi and continued, "My son and daughter-in-law are still inside. You guys sit down for a while and I will bring them out to see you."

"Take the children to eat some snacks and fruits first." He said and walked quickly back to the room.
