Xu Lin is easier to get along with than he imagined. No matter what questions Ji Ran asks that are not related to work, he will answer them one by one patiently.
Reach out and don't hit the smiling face unless that person is called Qin Man.
So even if this person was really sent by Ji Wei to monitor him, Ji Ran wouldn't be able to say anything.
"You became Ji Wei's assistant as soon as you took office?" The topic went round and round, and returned to the beginning, "It's quite strict to pick people forever, right? How did you do it?"
Once Ji Wei entered Eternal World, his position was not low.
Xu Lin smiled and said, "Mr. Ji and I were classmates before, and he still trusts me, so he asked me to be his assistant first, and Quan as an intern."
Ji Ran snorted: "And after so many years, do you still want to be an assistant? Ji Wei is too unkind."
"It's alright, President Ji is very good to me." Xu Lin lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
Ji Ran wanted to say something else, but the phone suddenly shook, it was a WeChat message from Qin Man.
Q: Did you go out
Dad Ji: It's none of your business.
At this moment, Xu Lin's phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, his expression changed slightly and he stood up: "Mr. Ji, I'll go take a call."
"Don't go." Ji Ran picked up the documents on the table, "I don't have time today, so I'll just talk here and leave first."
"Wait..." Xu Lin stopped him quickly, "I still have something to report."
"Next time." Ji Ran said, "I suddenly remembered something urgent."
Xu Lin asked, "When is the next time?"
Ji Ran: "...in a few days."
"Is it convenient tomorrow?" Xu Lin pressed step by step, "You are going to go to work on Wednesday, so there is really very little time left for us. This is your first time working in this area, and there must be many procedures that you still don't understand. "
Ji Ran had a headache listening to it: "Let's talk about it."
"Mr. Ji, I am thinking of your future development in Eternal..."
"I know I know." Ji Ran interrupted him, "Don't order this kind of tea restaurant tomorrow, I don't like drinking tea. Also, this call," he pointed to the mobile phone Xu Lin was holding, "either answer or Hang up, the bell sounds so annoying."
After Ji Ran finished speaking, he took those documents and slammed it into his palm, as if he usually held a helmet, and strode out of the teahouse. His appearance and dress are very eye-catching, and this short distance has almost caught the attention of everyone in the teahouse.
After Xu Lin watched him leave, he sat back again.
Ji Wei was right, his younger brother was indeed arrogant, rude, and defiant.
It doesn't look like his future work will go too smoothly...but it's better than it was before.
He stared at the caller ID for a long time, and his desire to answer faded a lot. Thirty seconds later, the call was automatically cut off because there was no answer.
Ji Ran said that it was not for Xu Lin to be in a hurry, he was eager to drink milk tea now. I felt that my mouth was bitterly stirred by the taste of tea, and I had to remove the taste.
He hated suffering the most.
Ji Ran drove back to his alma mater, which was also the best school in the city. There are three grades of elementary school, junior high school, and high school. Ji Ran spent six years here at the beginning and high school.
There is a milk tea shop next to the school. It has been open for more than ten years. The price is favorable and the portion is sufficient. In addition, the proprietress is kind and kind, and it has been a steady stream of customers for more than ten years. Ji Ran is also one of the regulars. Even after graduation, he will still come here to drink milk tea with Yue Wenwen every three or five years.
Because it was school time, there were no customers in the store. The proprietress was wiping the table with a rag. When she saw him, she smiled very softly: "Xiao Ran, are you back? What do you want to drink?"
"Well." Ji Ran sat in the old seat, "It's the same as before."
The proprietress was stunned: "What's wrong with your voice?"
Ji Ran said, "It's just a little cold."
"Young people who are strong and strong, why do they catch a cold? Be careful to add more clothes. I'll make you hot milk tea." The lady boss said, "Why didn't Wenwen come with you today?"
"He's too noisy, I won't take him."
After Ji Ran finished speaking, he supported his chin and glanced at the wall on the right.
This wall is a tree hole wall, and it is covered with post-it notes, which are all the leisure things for the students to have nothing to do. Because there is no need for a signature, it is full of rants, sincere words, and a lot of notes used to confess to so-and-so.
The store has been open for ten years, and no matter how big the wall is, it is not enough to stick. Once the wall is full, the proprietress will take off these post-it notes and put them away. They will be taken out and re-posted in March, June, September, and December every year. The selected notes are random, which is very interesting. So every year in the past few months, there will be many more "tourists" in the store, and this wall has even been interviewed on the show.
It's March now, and the store will be bustling soon.
Ji Ran casually stared at the note in front of him.
"XX, between the moonlight and the snow, you are the third kind of stunning color." The beautiful font seems to be able to see the girls' thoughts that are ashamed to tell others.
"We must win three classes in this basketball game!"
There are also replies in different colored handwriting under this note.
"You are dreaming!"
"Three classes will win!"
"You have the ability to leave your name!"
…
A group of elementary school students.
Ji Ran felt amused when he saw it, he tore off his mask, took a breath of fresh air, and glanced at the corner from the corner of his eye.
- "Qin Man is ugly."
The handwriting on the note was scribbled, and it could be seen that the owner was not in a good mood when he wrote this sentence.
Ji Ran was shocked at first, and his pupils suddenly became bigger.
This note has the most "replies", so even if the proprietress sticks it in the corner, it is still conspicuous.
"Qin Man is the school grass of our school, okay? You are ugly!"
"Which toad wrote this note? Are you jealous? I wish you a lifetime without a girlfriend!"
"I saw the person who wrote this note! It's XXX from Class X!"
"I didn't write it, whoever wrote it was an idiot."
You are a fool.
Ji Ran cursed, and angrily tore off the note.
The proprietress happened to see it when she was delivering the milk tea, and hurriedly said, "Xiao Ran, this one can't be picked."
Ji Ran didn't mean to return the note: "...Which year's note is this?"
"In 2009." The proprietress responded and smiled, "Is it your note? In 2009... you posted it in your third year of junior high?"
"It's not mine." Ji Ran flatly denied, "Yue Wenwen's, he wrote that he had a crush on his teacher. I don't think this is in line with the core values of socialism, so I'll help you pick it up, lest any reporters come over and be photographed."
The proprietress took a deep breath: "...and this."
"It's ridiculous." Ji Ran said calmly, "I'll help him get it back."
The proprietress hesitated for a moment: "Well, you have to persuade him. In 2009... How big is the age difference between him and the teacher? They should both get married and have children, right?"
"it is good."
Ji Ran sat for a while, put his hand in his pocket, held the post-it note in his hand, and quietly finished the milk tea in front of him.
Twenty minutes later, he stood up and planned to leave the milk tea shop before the traffic was heavy.
"Xiao Ran, let's go?" The proprietress raised her eyes from the bar, "Aren't you going to go back to school to have a look? It's almost time for school."
"Nothing to see." Ji Ran put the money on the bar.
When he got home, Ji Ran just drove the car into the garage when he received a call from Yue Wenwen.
... The lady boss told him the news
Because of his guilty conscience, Ji Ran's tone softened a bit: "...what's the matter?"
"Little Ranran!" Yue Wenwen lowered his voice, "Where are you?"
Ji Ran felt inexplicable: "At home."
"I see Qin Man!" Yue Wenwen said.
Ji Ran paused: "I saw it when I saw it, why did you call me?"
"No... The key is that he and Ji Wei are sitting together."
"… "
"Really, it's in the Muse restaurant! If you don't believe me, you can come and have a look!" Yue Wenwen said.
Ji Ran asked, "What is there to see?"
"what?"
"Can you stop bothering me with these shitty things?" Ji Ran said, "Whoever he likes to see, tell me what to do? I'm not his father."
Yue Wenwen was right after thinking about it: "Yes. It's just a conditioned reflex... Okay, then I'll hang up."
"Wait." Ji Ran frowned and asked after a while, "What did they say?"
"How do I know this?!"
Ji Ran suddenly felt his throat hurt even more, and it was still slightly itchy, no matter how hard he coughed.
"Bye."
Throwing the phone into his pocket, Ji Ran took two steps, suddenly remembered something, and took out the post-it note from his pocket.
The proprietress kept the post-it notes very well. After so many years, there was only one folded mark on it.
He stared at the note for a while, then clenched his palm sharply, twisted the Post-it note into a ball, and threw it in the trash.
When Qin Man came back, Ji Ran was playing video games in front of the TV. He just bought a few game discs, and they have been idle for a while, and he finally remembered them today.
He was wearing a mask and a thick coat, and he looked lazy.
Qin Man put the plastic bag on the table. Ji Ran didn't look at it, turned a deaf ear.
Just when he was about to fight the boss, a big palm covered his forehead.
Qin Man said, "I don't have a fever."
Ji Ran's hands were stagnant, he turned his head suddenly, and left his palm: "Go away, don't block me from playing games."
Qin Man glanced at the screen: "I bought the medicine and came back, and played this game to eat a little."
"You are poisoned, don't eat it."
Qin Man was amused, "Is it not uncomfortable to be ill?"
Ji Ran ignored him, he was skilled in the operation, and killed the Boss in less than ten minutes.
He turned around to take a sip of water, and saw Qin Man sitting on the sofa behind him, looking at him with interest.
"..." He took out another disc and restarted another game.
Seeing the folder beside the sofa, Qin Man raised his eyebrows, took it over and flipped a few pages.
After half a minute, he stared at the signature at the end of the document and asked, "Who did you go to see today?"
Ji Ran said: "Don't touch my things."
Qin Man put the document down: "If I remember correctly, Xu Lin should be Ji Wei's assistant? He is Ji Wei's right-hand man. What are you doing to see him... He brought you these documents?"
"He will be mine from now on."
Qin Man thought he had misheard: "What?"
"He will be my assistant in the future." Ji Ran dropped the handle and took the information from him.
Qin Man frowned: "He and Ji Wei have a close relationship, I don't recommend you keep him by your side..."
"What about you?" Ji Ran interrupted him suddenly.
"You are still Ji Wei's classmate and friend, a brother for many years." Ji Ran laughed mockingly, raising his eyebrows lightly, "Didn't I put you to sleep?"
