What Ji Ran was not good at in his life was dealing with elders.
He didn't even think about it, and immediately refused.
"It's just to accompany me to pick them up, not to let you come out with me." Qin Man didn't give up, he was still pestering him in the middle of the night, regardless of whether he fell asleep or not, he propped himself up and said in his ear, " I don't tell them about our relationship."
"Junior, don't pretend to be asleep."
"They know I'm staying at your house, and they want to thank you in person. If you don't go tomorrow, they may have to come home."
Ji Ran really couldn't sleep—not even at all.
He opened his eyes suddenly: "So why did you tell them about living in my house?!"
"I can't let you be the nameless Lei Feng." Qin Man smiled.
He likes to be a Lei Feng! He just wanted to do good deeds without leaving his name! Ji Ran said in his heart.
In the middle of the night, Ji Ran was so annoyed that he kept turning over and nodded helplessly.
He thought about it for a while, but he couldn't really let Qin Man's parents come to the door. There is only one bedroom in use in his house, and their clothes and toiletries are put together, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that something is wrong.
The next day, Ji Ran went out early in the morning, vaguely saying that there was something wrong with the driver and that he had to go to an interview.
After he went out, Qin Man asked Liu Chen to call the old employees who were left behind after the company went bankrupt to a private room of a food stall, and planned to discuss the cooperation projects that he contacted during this time.
The old staff arrived on time, and a few people sat in the private room, and when they saw the waiter dressed in red and green, they were dumbfounded for a while.
In the past, they often had small meetings with their bosses to eat out. Every time they arranged high-end restaurants, the food was small and expensive, and they had work to discuss. After staying in the private room for three hours, I couldn't get enough to eat.
Several of them worked under Qin Man before. Although the boss was young, the other party participated in the project early, and they have followed since Qin Man started. The relationship between the few people is very close. Of course, they are still a little in awe of Qin Man. Now that Qin Man is away, the topics that everyone talks about are relatively casual.
One person joked: "I can eat enough tonight, do you see the fresh food outside? That crab is bigger than my fist."
"Liu Chen, did you book this place? Does the boss know you booked this place? Be careful to be scolded."
"He gave me my phone number directly." Liu Chen was silent, "He also reminded me... Said that this place is busy on weekends, and asked me to call and make an appointment one day in advance."
Liu Chen thought it was a popular western restaurant at first, but as soon as the other party answered the phone, there was a rural flavor in his words: "Siwangqiao seafood here, what's the matter?"
He also hung up the phone and double-checked the number several times.
A few people were speechless, Liu Chen's mouth was idle, he picked up the side dish in front of him and took two bites, surprised: "... This pickled vegetable is quite fragrant."
Qin Man came soon.
Employees have forgotten what the last time they saw their boss in casual clothes.
It wasn't until a handsome man in a white sweater and black sneakers walked in that they suddenly remembered that Qin Man was just 26 years old this year.
Smaller than everyone present.
"Have you ordered?" Qin Man took his seat, glanced at him, and his tone was light.
"I ordered it, as you said, but I didn't ask them to serve it." Liu Chen said.
"If I'm late for the next meeting, you can move your chopsticks first, you don't need to wait for me." Qin Man nodded, "Let him serve."
The employees have been taking paid breaks for more than half a year.
They had expected that this meeting would be more tense than ever - after all, they were in a state of 'start all over'.
Who knew that Qin Man just briefly talked about the progress of the company's registration, and casually mentioned the upcoming projects.
"At the beginning of next month, you should be able to go to work, but the initial workload is not as large as before." Qin Man peeled off the crab, "Liu Chen prints out the document and sends it, you can all check it out when you go back. state back."
Everyone agreed, and their eyes fell on the crab in Qin Man's hand.
The boss is worthy of being the boss, peeling a crab is as elegant as using a knife and fork.
"Hey." An employee seemed to notice something, and said casually, "Boss, this ring... Are you married?"
The table was silent for a moment.
Everyone has eyes. Although the style of this ring is simple, it has a good sense of presence. Someone discovered it early, but he didn't dare to ask—his boss is most taboo to talk about personal affairs when he is at work.
The woman beside him coughed and tried to make a break: "What marriage, look at Dai's position, okay, eat your crabs."
Qin Man's expression was as usual: "Not married."
"Oh." The man responded, embarrassed, "I just asked casually..."
"Well." Qin Man said, "Just talking, not so fast."
"… "
He didn't expect him to answer, and everyone was stunned.
Everyone looked at each other in dismay, not knowing whether to accept this.
Only the big-hearted buddy didn't notice it at all, and laughed: "The rings are all on, it seems that we can have more than one boss in the past two years?"
Qin Man paused and smiled: "He... shouldn't like you calling him the boss lady."
Seeing that Qin Man was in a good mood, the others couldn't help but ask, "Then what should we call her?"
Maybe... would like to hear you call Dad
Thinking of this, Qin Man's smile widened and he didn't speak any more.
After eating the crabs, he wiped his hands, took out his mobile phone and sent a message to the younger brother.
Q: Are you ready to have dinner together
Dad Ji: Not yet... I'll try my best. I don't know when the talk will be over.
Q: Is it troublesome
Dad Ji: No trouble.
Dad Ji: It's been too long, too long-winded, and my buttocks hurt.
Qin Man raised his eyebrows and replied: Are you sure it hurts from sitting
Dad Ji: [Knock your head off jpg]
Qin Man looked at the emoji, and couldn't help but let out a smile.
The staff immediately stared at him like a rare animal.
After eating and drinking, everyone dispersed. Qin Man drank two glasses of wine during the meal. After the meal was over, Liu Chen naturally took over the job of the driver.
Passing by a convenience store, the person in the back seat suddenly said, "Stop."
Liu Chen hurriedly stopped on the side of the road. Qin Man got out of the car, turned around and entered the convenience store next door.
The storefront of the convenience store is very small, and it is separated from the street by a surface of transparent glass. Liu Chen can clearly see the movement inside.
After his boss went in, he didn't go inside, just picked and picked on the shelves, and then took several boxes of things and handed them to the front desk to check out.
Liu Chen: "..."
They're all adults, and everyone knows what's next to the supermarket checkout counter. With a quick glance, he could see that his boss had at least three boxes.
Liu Chen is in his thirties and has seen many big bosses. Qin Man is the most pure-hearted one he has ever met.
Now that I have finally opened up meat, it is normal to indulge a little.
Understandable, understandable.
It's just that I don't know who the boss is in love with. Although he didn't go to work during this time, he also helped with a lot of things... I didn't see the boss getting close to any woman
When Qin Man returned home, there was no one inside, and Ji Ran hadn't come back.
He put the things he just bought into the drawers at the head of the bed, in the bathroom, and under the TV in the living room.
Then I sat down in the living room and started a movie.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the younger brother still hadn't come back. Qin Man picked up the phone and sent him another message.
Q: I am looking for you
Dad Ji: No, I'm going back.
Q: [I miss you, I miss you jpg]
Dad Ji: ... don't chat with Yue Wenwen, don't keep these foolish emojis.
Dad Ji: [Picture]
The screenshot shows Qin Man's WeChat profile card, and Ji Ran's note to him is "a follower once in a thousand years".
Qin Man smiled, opened Ji Ran's profile, changed a note, and sent a screenshot.
After this message, there was no reply for half a day.
He waited for a while, then sent two more emojis, but he was still sinking into the sea.
Qin Man lowered his eyes and looked at the note "Kissing little brother", thinking that the other party might not like it very much.
