On the other side, Qiao Ran is working overtime at R&S Group.
Special assistant Xu Anning assigned her some extra work today. It was not an urgent matter. I wonder why Xu Anning insisted on her finishing it on Sunday.
"Hi, I bought you a cup of mocha coffee." Lin Yuyue knew that Qiao Ran came to the group to work overtime, so she came here to accompany her.
Qiao Ran looked up from a pile of documents and said with a smile, "If you don't have a good rest at home on the weekend, why do you have to come here?"
"It's so boring to be at home. As you know, I rent a house by myself and usually have no one to talk to." Lin Yuyue lay on the partition of Qiao Ran's desk, curling her hair in boredom.
"You can go shopping." Qiao Ran said while sorting out the information.
Lin Yuyue became interested upon hearing this, "After working overtime, can you go shopping with me? I'll take you to eat delicious food. I recently discovered a famous Japanese restaurant."
Qiao Ran shook her head regretfully, "No, there's no one at home today. I have to go back and cook for grandma." She looked at her phone. It was already past three o'clock and she hadn't finished the work she was doing.
She wanted to leave early, so she handed a thick stack of documents to Lin Yuyue, "How about you help me make copies. I want to finish work early and then go to the supermarket to buy ingredients."
"No problem." Lin Yuyue picked up the documents and walked to the office copier.
Qiao Ran continued to concentrate on sorting out information.
At this time, her phone rang suddenly, and when she glanced, it was Zuo Chenye.
She hesitated, frowned slightly, and pressed the answer button.
"Why didn't you reply to the message?" Zuo Chenye's voice sounded very unhappy on the other end of the phone.
Qiao Ran then remembered that he had sent her a message in the morning, but she only glanced at it and didn't reply.
"If you leave a message, it will show as read when I read it. It means I know it. Who stipulates that every message must be replied to?" She felt that it was childish to answer his question.
"You..." Zuo Chenye was so angry that he couldn't speak. He paused for a moment before asking, "How is grandma doing?"
"Can't you just call grandma? Why do you have to ask me?" Qiao Ran felt speechless. This man was even more difficult to communicate on the phone than in person.
"Qiao Ran, can you talk nicely? I called grandma and no one answered her phone!" Zuo Chenye didn't know why he had to be angry. He was always uneasy after a few days of business trip, and her figure was often occupied in his mind.
.But she doesn't seem to be like this at all, and she doesn't even bother to reply to the message.
"Oh, maybe grandma was asleep and didn't hear the phone ringing. Grandma is getting better and better these days. The new medicine is very effective. Lin Feng said that most of grandma's pleural effusion has subsided, and the amount of painkillers has been reduced by half. I'll leave in the morning
Grandma looked very good when she was pregnant." Qiao Ran replied.
"Where are you now?" Zuo Chenye's voice was a little unnatural. He originally wanted to call his grandma and ask about Qiao Ran. However, grandma didn't answer the phone, which meant that Qiao Ran was not at home either.
He felt very unhappy and wanted to investigate. He wanted to know what Qiao Ran was doing and whether he was with anyone.
"I work overtime in the group!" Qiao Ran said angrily.
"Really?" The person on the other end of the phone didn't seem to believe it.
At this time, Lin Yuyue copied the materials and came over and said, "Qiao Ran, these have been copied. Is there anything else you need my help with?"
"There are still these, help me bind them. Once they are all done, I will almost be able to get off work." Qiao Ran smiled and nodded to Lin Yuyue.
Zuo Chenye on the other end of the phone could naturally hear the conversation between the two.
"Young Master Zuo, is the inspection over? If there's nothing to do, I'll hang up. I'll finish the work early. I have to go back and make dinner for grandma." Qiao Ran pointed out the purpose of his call without hesitation.
After being exposed by her, he felt a little embarrassed, "I have a bit of trouble here. I will be delayed for another day and won't be able to come back until the day after tomorrow."
"Young Master Zuo, you don't need to report your whereabouts to me. Whether you come back or not has no impact on me. Goodbye!" After saying that, Qiao Ran cut off the call without waiting for his reply.
On the other end of the phone, Zuo Chenye stared at the phone with only a "beep" busy tone, feeling extremely depressed. Three days had passed, and it seemed that Zuo Xiaoxiao had misunderstood her about what happened, and her anger has not subsided at all.
Haha, he couldn't help but chuckle, the little wild cat has quite a temper.
He picked up the "Wheel of Fortune" necklace he had purchased before and played with it repeatedly. He never threw it away and finally put it back in his suitcase.
He picked up his phone and edited a WeChat message for Qiao Ran.
"wait me back."
Then, he looked at the information that had disappeared and shook his head helplessly. Although he was abroad, he couldn't wait to go back. He had never felt this way before.
He dialed Xu Anning's phone number and said, "Get the materials ready and we must negotiate today."
He was so eager to return home that he didn't want to stay any longer.
On the other side, when it was close to four o'clock, Qiao Ran finally finished the work in hand ahead of schedule. She started to pack her things and shut down the computer.
Lin Yuyue was playing mobile games boredly.
Qiao Ran said to Lin Yuyue, "Thank you for coming to accompany me. We are on different roads. I will take a taxi back later. You can go first. I will treat you to dinner another day."
Lin Yuyue quickly packed her bag, "Yeah. No, you have to go shopping with me another day."
"Okay." Qiao Ran smiled fondly.
"Then shall I leave first? Goodbye!" Lin Yuyue waved to her, and the pretty figure quickly disappeared into the elevator.
Qiao Ran finished cleaning up and was about to leave when suddenly, her cell phone rang again on her desk.
The sound kept ringing one after another, like a reminder. She thought it was Zuo Chenye calling again. He was still not finished. She couldn't help complaining and reached for the phone impatiently. Unexpectedly, her palm slipped accidentally.
, the phone fell to the ground, and by chance, the entire LCD screen shattered diagonally.
Damn it, she cursed.
She picked up her phone and saw that the call came from a strange number, not Zuo Chenye.
Broken cracks ran across it, making the screen look particularly ferocious.
For some reason, an ominous premonition suddenly arose in her heart, and her brows furrowed deeply.
She pressed the answer button.
On the other end of the phone, there was a strange voice change, which was obviously artificially processed.
"Go back to Zuo's house immediately and come alone! If you dare to call the police, Zhao Jinrong will be dead!" After saying that, the call was hung up.
