Ji Ran was awakened by thirst.
When he opened his eyes, the surroundings were dark, the curtains were drawn dead, and the light was so dim that nothing could be seen. He sat up, fumbled for a moment on the bedside table with his hands, and turned the alarm clock at an angle.
05:59.
He had a severe headache, but the memories of last night didn't let him go, all of them were drilled into his mind.
Just remembering the scene where he bit Qin Man's lips, he stroked his hair regretfully.
You must quit drinking - this is the third time Ji Ran told herself this this year.
He tilted his head, only to find that Qin Man was not by his side, and there was no one in the toilet.
He got out of bed cautiously, turned on the light, picked up the phone that he had ruthlessly abandoned on the floor last night, and pressed the power button.
The moment the screen lit up, countless text messages sounded one after another, until Ji Ran felt annoyed, and quickly pressed mute.
Everyone's information is there, and there is even Mrs. Ji's missed call.
Ji Ran was not surprised. Although his grandmother was abroad, sometimes the domestic news was better than his.
Among them, Yue Wenwen sent the most text messages.
[Xiao Ranran, Cheng Peng said that he asked his company's legal team to come forward, don't worry, it will be taken down for you tomorrow, don't worry.]
[Those people on the Internet are talking nonsense, and their attention is rubbing off, so don't have common knowledge with them!]
[I will go to your house to find you and play video games with you?]
[Little Ranran, answer the phone!]
…
The last message to let him rest was sent ten minutes ago. Ji Ran was too lazy to type, so he called Yue Wenwen directly.
Yue Wenwen answered in seconds: "Little Ranran! Are you awake?! I thought you had a hangover until noon!"
"Well, why are you so noisy." Ji Ran walked to the bathroom and flushed his face, "...how did you know I was drinking."
"I went to your house last night. Did you see the medicine on the bedside table? Take some if you feel a headache or nausea." Yue Wenwen said, "I was caught by my father to work on the construction site. It was hot and I hated it to death. "
Ji Ran snorted: "... Qin Man opened the door for you last night?"
"Yes."
Ji Ran walked to the head of the bed and found that next to the alarm clock was a small box of medicine and a glass of water.
The temperature of the air conditioner was too low, and the water was already cold. He took a sip, and his throat finally eased.
"What did Cheng Peng say?"
"Oh this..." Yue Wenwen said, "don't worry, those have been taken down, but not by Pengpeng. He just contacted the other party yesterday, the hot search is gone, and those bloggers have also deleted their blogs. Now Weibo I can't find any news about you and Auntie at all, don't worry!"
Ji Ran frowned: "It's not Cheng Peng? Who took it down?"
"Didn't Qin Man tell you?"
Just as Yue Wenwen was about to say something, he heard the noise of the engine over there, "...I'll tell you later, it's too noisy here, I can't hear it at all..."
Before Ji Ran could ask, he hung up the phone.
Qin Man
He suddenly remembered that Qin Man helped him withdraw when he was on the hot search for the first time.
Although he doesn't understand these entertainment circles, he also knows that this list is clearly marked with a price. In the previous hot search, the platform could be taken down in the name of infringing on the right to portrait, but yesterday's topic had already involved Zhao Qingtong, and even moved out the previous news report, it is impossible to solve it in a sentence or two.
He found Qin Man's phone number and was about to dial it. He remembered that he was drunk and tossed his lips last night. His face couldn't help but heat up. He didn't know if he was ashamed or embarrassed, so he silently withdrew his hand.
Let's take a shower first.
He put water in the bathtub, and the moment the warm water spread to his skin, Ji Ran relaxed both physically and mentally.
He slowly flipped through hundreds of messages in WeChat.
Others are irrelevant, I didn't expect Ji Wei to send him a message too. Ji Ran couldn't even remember when they became friends.
Ji Wei: What do you mean by what you said at the company today? How did Zhao Qingtong get involved with our family? You make it clear!
Crying is really the best way to vent his emotions. After a night, Ji Ran has calmed down a lot.
He was too lazy to quarrel with this person again, and was about to block it. Who would want to shake his phone and another message appeared on the page.
Ji Wei: Also, what do you mean by saying that I failed to kill you
Ji Ran hung one leg on the edge of the bathtub, typing lazily on the keyboard.
Dad Ji: What, dare to do it and not admit it
Ji Wei: I didn't do anything, why should I admit it
Ji Wei: If you mean the high school gang, I called them. But I don't want your life. After all, I will not be charged with instigating murder for someone like you.
Dad Ji: The nanny who came to work at my house before, dare you say it has nothing to do with you
His suspicions were not unreasonable. After the nanny disappeared, he conducted a private investigation and found that the middle-aged woman even had a fake name. The only useful and accurate information was that she had done several jobs in the Ji family. Temporary workers for days.
Ji Wei: The one who poisoned you? Ji Ran, let me tell you, don't put any pot on my head! It's obviously because of your usual bad attitude that you provoke her, and that will lead to such retribution!
It has been a long time since the poisoning incident, and the police have not found the whereabouts of the man. In fact, Ji Ran had no hope of solving the case.
Now that the old things are brought up again, it is inevitable to get tired and bored.
He didn't hesitate at all this time. According to Jin Jiwei's WeChat profile, he simply clicked the blacklist.
The sky outside was a little lit, Ji Ran looked at the sky outside the window and let it go a little.
When he woke up, his first thought was to get rid of the matter on Weibo first. Unexpectedly, after someone helped him, now he just feels relaxed, the hangover aftereffects are slowly coming up, and he just wants to sleep again.
So he really fell asleep and even had a dream.
He dreamed that he was catching fish in the sea, diving into the water for a moment, scooping up a huge shell, prying it open, and there was a note inside.
He even saw the words above - "Qin Man is ugly".
Ji Ran was already in a trance and realized that he was dreaming, and before he had time to react, he saw the shell suddenly move forward, and then closed tightly, pinching his lips.
Ji Ran woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a handsome face magnified in front of him.
Qin Man was bent over, with one hand resting on the edge of the bathtub, biting his lips lightly.
Ji Ran didn't know how to react for a while, but after a few seconds, he lowered one hand to cover the part, and pushed the person away with the other hand.
"What are you doing?!" he asked in shock.
Qin Man stood up straight, especially innocent: "Artificial respiration."
"You just sank to the bottom before I picked you up."
Ji Ran looked at him suspiciously, is artificial respiration still gnawing on his lips
He glanced at Qin Man's sleeve, which was really soaked with water: "...Where have you been?"
"Morning run." Qin Man stood up straight, took the towel off his shoulders and wiped his hands, his eyes slowly moved downstream, "I wanted to take a shower, but I didn't expect you to be here."
Ji Ran bought a thermal bath, and he also turned on the massage water column. The movement was not small, and people outside the bathroom could vaguely hear it.
He regained his senses, immediately put away his hanging legs, and sang, "Get out!"
Qin Man smiled: "Okay..."
He turned around and was about to go out, when Ji Ran heard the sound of the plastic bag rubbing against it, only then did he realize that Qin Man was still holding a small bag in his hand. Just as he was about to ask, he saw Qin Man suddenly stop and turn around, raising his hand to put his forehead.
Ji Ran paused: "What to do?"
"See if you have a fever." Qin Man raised his eyebrows, "You get sick easily when you are drunk. Is it a physical problem?"
Ji Ran was dumbfounded.
It's a fart physical problem. He has been in nightclubs for many years. If he really drinks and gets sick, then he will go to earth and rest in peace.
He was sick because of...
Ji Ran stopped those thoughts and asked, "What's in the bag?"
"Medicine." Qin Man said.
"What medicine?"
Qin Man thought for a while, and said euphemistically, "...Anti-inflammatory medicine."
"?"
"The last time I cleaned it for you, I saw some swelling there."
Ji Ran was stunned for a few seconds, and when he reacted, his cheeks blushed!
He grabbed the soap and threw it at Qin Man: "Go away! Keep it for yourself!"
—
Ji Ran is really not sleepy now.
After taking a shower. While wiping his hair, he asked the person across from the sofa, "How did you remove the hot search?"
Qin Mandao: "I have friends who work there."
"Your friend is a philanthropist? Doing things for you for free?" Ji Ran asked with a sneer, "Aren't you a businessman, why do you still start a loss-making business? Tell me, how much is it, I'll pay you two pieces of money. ."
"Okay, I spent some money." Qin Man paused and snorted, "but not much. Just treat me as pleasing you, if you're satisfied... "
Ji Ran: "Just give you a five-star praise?"
"I don't accept other guests, what's the use of having good reviews?" Qin Man propped his chin and smiled, "If you are satisfied, consider renewing the fee, right?"
Ji Ran was taken aback.
Their contract has not been effective for half a year, so why did they talk about the renewal
Before he could say anything, the phone rang first.
He glanced at the caller, and his face quickly collapsed. It took a long while to pick it up, and he called out indifferently, "Dad."
Qin Man raised his eyes slightly.
Ji Guozheng obviously didn't plan to have a few words with his son, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and asked straight to the point, "Are you tossing about the social software?"
Ji Ran: "No."
Ji Guozheng was silent: "It's okay if you don't."
Sounds like believing, but in fact is reluctant to spend time arguing about these little things. He had already found someone to arrange it, no matter how the group of people on Weibo made trouble, it would not involve him in the end.
"Why didn't you come to work today?"
Ji Ran smiled inexplicably: "There's something wrong."
"Remember to ask for leave in the future, and don't put those things in your life into the company." Ji Guozheng said, "I know you are not satisfied with the project you are currently working on, but who doesn't do it step by step from the bottom, just Even your brother was not much higher than you when he came in."
Ji Ranxin was not listening.
After Ji Guozheng said Datong's reassuring words, the topic changed a little: "How is Qin Man doing in the company?"
Ji Ran subconsciously glanced at the person opposite. Feeling his gaze, Qin Man raised the corners of his mouth and actually winked at him.
Ji Ran hurriedly looked away: "...It's okay."
"Qin Man's personal work ability is very strong, you should learn more from him." Ji Guozheng said in a natural tone, the purpose of the call, "This Saturday, you can spare time and go home. By the way, Qin Man also called."
Ji Ran: "What are you going to do when you go back?"
Ji Guozheng paused: "It's my birthday."
Ji Ran was startled, then laughed.
This is the first time he has been invited to Ji Guozheng's birthday party.
"I won't go, you take your time and say happy birthday to you in advance." Ji Ran said.
"Don't be ridiculous." Ji Guozheng said without hesitation, "I will have someone deliver the invitation letter to your home. It must be there on time, and no mistakes are allowed."
