"Your dad actually let you go home?" Yue Wenwen bit the straw and asked, "Then are you going back? He's celebrating his birthday, isn't it Quanji's family..." Speaking of which, Yue Wenwen changed his tune, "Isn't that a coincidence? All relatives are here."
Ji Ran leaned against the wall, the peaked hat covered most of his eyes, so he couldn't see his emotions: "I didn't think about it."
Yue Wenwen said that he missed the milk tea near his alma mater, so he had to drag them to the milk tea shop today.
"Or just don't go, don't blame me for speaking badly. Most of your relatives look down on others." Yue Wenwen worried.
Ji Ran didn't answer him, and most of his thoughts were on the time wall next to him. After confirming that there were no familiar fonts on it, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He took a sip of milk tea and asked the person across from him, "Why don't you talk?"
Cheng Peng raised his eyebrows, as if he had just recovered: "No. Where did you say?"
Ji Ran asked Yue Wenwen: "What's wrong with him?"
"What else, you didn't see that Chen An didn't come with me today." Yue Wenwen said in one sentence.
Cheng Peng obviously didn't want to talk about it more: "Qin Manbu didn't come either."
Ji Ran: "What are you doing with him?"
Qin Man applied to him last night, saying that an old friend asked him to go out today.
It just so happened that a group of high school students who skipped class passed by the door of the store, Yue Wenwen was itching to see: "Let's go back to school to see?"
"Don't go," Ji Ran refused without thinking, "Go and go by yourself."
The proprietress brought the snacks and interrupted their conversation.
"I fried some chicken nuggets today, you can try it." When she put it in front of Ji Ran, she said, "I wanted to serve you a portion last time, but you left as soon as it was fried."
Ji Ran wanted to stop her, but it was too late.
"Okay, you actually came here secretly behind our backs!" Yue Wenwen said, "When did it happen?"
"Passing by..."
"Not long ago." Speaking of this, the proprietress looked at Yue Wenwen worriedly, and said implicitly, "Xiao Wen, I have asked Xiao Ran to take your note back."
Yue Wenwen was taken aback: "A note? What note?"
"It's nothing." Ji Ran said, "Auntie, give me another cup of milk tea. I want the same."
Yue Wenwen: "There is so much left in front of you..."
Ji Ran rolled his eyes and said, "You take care of me."
After the aunt left, Cheng Peng returned to his original state, sat up straight and said, "I found something in the past two days."
"At the end of the month, there will be an auction of a good piece of land in Wangxing. Wangxing has recently encountered development, and it is estimated that it will become a new commercial area within ten years."
Yue Wenwen: "Why do you tell us this kind of thing?"
Ji Ran played with the lighter in his hand and said nothing.
Cheng Peng glanced at him: "Many companies want to snatch the right to use this land. Our company was a little interesting before, so we asked people to check it. The owner of this land... surnamed Qin."

Qin Man threw the file full of account ip on the table.
"You can just say it directly, you don't need to give me this data."
"Okay." Liu Chen took the document back, "After verification, the person who posted rumors under Mr. Ji's Weibo in the name of a friend or relative does indeed have two accounts with the same IP addresses. But the other party is very careful, this kind of situation only occurs. We have two groups. This group of people is a professional team with thousands of active accounts, and the main business they receive is to help celebrities get good reviews and bad reviews.”
"Have these contents been handed over to the lawyers?"
"Yes. The team said that they hoped to handle this matter peacefully, that they were willing to pay Mr. Ji's compensation, and that they were willing to post an apology on Weibo and put it at the top for March." I remembered Ai Ai's words when the team leader met with him and the lawyers. Liu Chen couldn't help sighing with emotion.
No matter how much wind and waves the person in charge has seen, he never imagined that one day he would have face-to-face tea with five top lawyers in the industry.
"No reconciliation." Qin Man said slowly, "The compensation and apology are on the top, and we will wait for the court's results to come out."
Liu Chen nodded hurriedly: "And the account number of the payer... I also found out."
"Say."
"My name is Hu Rui, he is an assistant to the director of a company." Liu Chen said, "The boss is Gu Cheng, and Gu Cheng has a son, Gu Zhe, who is a high school classmate with Mr. Ji."
The result was expected, so Qin Man was not surprised. Most of Gu Cheng's projects are related to the entertainment industry, so it's not uncommon for them to get along with each other.
And the other party is obviously not afraid of the exposure of the matter, he did it blatantly, without any cover up, and directly asked his assistant to do it. It is also in line with Gu Cheng's young man who is not afraid of the sky and the earth.
That is to say, it is right, knowing that the Ji family will not interfere, and will not stand for Ji Ran.
Qin Man nodded: "I see."
Liu Chen tentatively asked: "Gu Cheng is chasing a few projects recently, do you need me?"
"No." Qin Man laughed and leaned back, "Go check Gu Zhe."
"Gu Zhe?"
"Gu Zhe has done a lot of things before, and after graduation, he is even more lawless..." Qin Man closed his eyes and said lightly, "dig out all those things buried by money."
Liu Chen: "Don't you move Gu Cheng?"
"Let him go first." Qin Man smiled.
If you want to treat a person, start with what the other person cares about the most. Gu Cheng understands this truth, and he understands it too.
"What about after digging it out? Call the police?"
"How can there be such a good thing." Qin Man said, "Don't Gu Cheng like to surf the Internet? Let him have enough this time."
Liu Chen nodded hurriedly: "Understood."
Qin Man pondered for a moment and said, "There is still something for you to investigate. This matter... try to keep it as secret as possible."
After explaining the matter, the two left the restaurant together.
Liu Chen watched Qin Man walk in front of a silver-gray Ferrari, get into the car very naturally, and whizzed away after ten seconds.
… Sure enough, the ideas of young people are really the same every day.
I used to dislike the bells and whistles of sports cars, but now I have replaced it with the latest model.
Qin Man was driving when Ji Ran's phone came.
He put on the earphone and answered, "Huh?"
"Where are you?"
"In the car, I just finished meeting my friends." Qin Man said, "Am I going to find you?"
"You go back to the company directly." Ji Ran hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
The two skipped the morning shift together. When Qin Man arrived at the office, Ji Ran was playing games with his legs crossed.
Hearing the movement, Ji Ran didn't lift his head: "Is that piece of Wangxing yours?"
Qin Man heard that his voice was not right from the car, and he had made preparations in all aspects. Hearing the questioning, there was no panic on his face: "Yes."
"Aren't you bankrupt?" Ji Ran threw his phone on the table after the game character died, "Why is there such a large piece of land?"
He remembered the 'rumor' that Cheng Peng told him before, narrowed his eyes, his face darkened, "You... what's going on in your family?"
After knowing this, Ji Ran never dared to think about it.
The right to use the land can be sold for hundreds of millions. If it is as Cheng Peng said, then Qin Man doesn't need anyone to finance him at all, and those debts are not worth mentioning.
Really, what did Qin Man do in front of him
What is his purpose
"It's bankrupt, do you need me to show you the bankruptcy certificate issued by the court?" Qin Man pretended to be helpless and smiled bitterly, "This piece of land was left by my grandfather, and it's my last trump card."
Ji Ran sneered: "A hole card?"
Why does he think it's more like a row of straights in Dou Dizhu, leaving two king bombs in the end
"Have you been to Wangxing?" Qin Man asked suddenly.
Ji Ran hugged his waist and responded angrily, "I've been there."
"Then you should know that in the past two years, almost no one will go there except for the residents, and there is not even a big supermarket around, let alone a business district." Qin Man paused, "Of course, because of this, the above only I will decide to develop that piece of land. As a result, until now, the decree has not been issued, and there are only some rumors. When my family went bankrupt half a year ago, if I sold the right to use this land, the money I could get is only five cents of what it is now. One... or even less."
"It's too bad, I won't sell it. So... I'm really desperate."
Ji Ran was still puzzled: "You said it yourself, it's just that there are some rumors... Are you willing to owe the debt all the time, and you are not willing to realize the land to solve the problem?"
"Naturally, I was a little shaken at first." Qin Man smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "But didn't you show up?"
After finishing speaking, he put his hands on the desk, approached Ji Ran, and asked with a smile, "Speaking of which, if the land really sells for a good price... Then I have to thank you."
He said very lightly, "Tell me, what do you want in return?"
Ji Ran's heart beat fast, and he even suspected that Qin Man would kiss him in the next second.
Apart from the bed, they didn't need to have too much physical contact. He originally planned to make it clear, but there have been too many things happening recently, and he has left it behind.
"... Who used you to repay?" Ji Ran regained his senses and moved back.
"But I know my gratitude in return." Qin Man said.
What's the matter with this man? Why are you still in a hurry to repay
"I said no."
Qin Man smiled: "Then keep it for now? Whatever you want in the future, just mention it."
"Anything will do, I'll do it for you," he stressed.
Ji Ran was dumbfounded, but felt his throat tighten: "What can you do for me when you are bankrupt... Hurry away!"
This is what Xu Lin saw when he pushed the door and entered.
What he wanted to say got stuck in his throat, neither going in nor going back.
Ji Ran snapped back to his senses, his face was hot, he pushed Qin Man away without thinking, and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
"Oh, oh." Xu Lin reacted, stepped forward quickly, and put the card and many documents on his desk, "This is what Ji Wei asked me to give you. The rest are the documents to be approved in the past two days. Look, if there is no problem, just sign it."
"...Understood." Ji Ran said, "Come and pick it up before you get off work."
Xu Lin's work ability is really good. In the past two days that he was absent from work, the other party arranged his work in an orderly manner. Basically, except for the signature, which could not be done for him, the rest of the things were done for him.
Ji Ran threw the document aside, and then turned his attention to the red card.
Or how about these rich and powerful families, it's just a birthday party, just make a phone call to invite, and send invitations to relatives.
It's all bullshit up front, and the card says at the end.
[Qin Man and Ji Ran are cordially invited to attend the banquet.]
Qin Man's name was in front of him, and the handwriting was very large. His name was squeezed behind, but it was just added.
"Are you going?" Qin Man asked while looking at the documents while standing at the desk.
Ji Ran threw the card aside: "Why don't you go?"
The heat on his face has subsided, and he said, "They are not afraid of tossing, of course I will accompany them."
