Zuo Han is about thirty-five or six years old, tall and wearing a decent professional skirt and exquisite and elegant makeup. She has the style of an independent woman in the workplace.
She took Shi Ran's hand and held it, and said in a gentle tone: "Then you must be familiar with Director Cheng Xiuyan of Shengqian Network, right?"
Yao Yuan stood nearby and answered quickly, "More than being a stranger, Shi Ran is the one who is under the special care of Mr. Cheng..."
Zheng Cun punched Yao Yuan from behind, and Yao Yuan quickly shut up and did not dare to say anything further.
Yang Cheng smiled and mentioned that it was thanks to Cheng Xiuyan's recommendation that Shi Ran came to help.
"Oh, what a coincidence, I just want to discuss a project with Mr. Cheng." Zuo Han gently patted the back of Shi Ran's hand, "I have a heartfelt request. Since you have a relationship with Mr. Cheng, please help me. As a favor, how about asking him out for a meal as soon as possible?"
Why can't this industry always avoid one Cheng Xiuyan?
Shi Ran was helpless. Under the expectant eyes of Yang Cheng and Bai Ge, he really couldn't refuse on the spot, so he had no choice but to agree to contact Cheng Xiuyan to give it a try.
Both women wanted to see Cheng Xiuyan. Shi Ran struggled all night. On the way to send Lin Huan to the airport early the next morning, she explained the reason why she wanted to contact Mr. Cheng again.
Lin Huan had really thought through a lot of things. She told Shi Ran that she really didn't have to worry about anything else in the future. No matter what the reason was for seeing Cheng Xiuyan, she, Lin Huan, would never point fingers or block her.
Many feelings between girls are conveyed through the details of their eyes and expressions. Shi Ran could see Lin Huan's loneliness and powerlessness.
She needed a trip to change her mood and thoughts.
After arriving at the airport, Lin Huan was going to meet the tour group, but Shi Ran pulled her and whispered a secret in her ear that she was not sure about.
"Have you seen the video that Zheng Cun posted on Moments before? The video where Brother Yu sang with me and put a necklace on me." Shi Ran pulled up the four-leaf clover pendant necklace from his neck, "That's it."
Lin Huan also raised his hand to pinch the four-leaf clover, seeming to understand, "Aren't you just joking?"
Shi Ran cleared his throat embarrassedly, "I like this necklace very much. I have been wearing it since then and never took it off."
Lin Huan was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly pointed at the tip of Shi Ran's nose with wide eyes, "Ah!"
"The tour guide is calling your name." Shi Ran gave Lin Huan a push before he became even more embarrassed, "Text me messages when you board the plane and when you land, and send me photos of anything delicious or fun~"
"Ah, okay, okay, then... come on!" Lin Huan clenched his fists.
Shi Ran also clenched his fist, raised his hand and said goodbye to Lin Huan, "Pay attention to safety, I'll wait for you to come back."
Watching Lin Huan follow the tour group to the security check line, Shi Ran kept smiling. On the way to take the subway and walk, she happily called Liu Yu.
Liu Yu answered the question and asked in a rough voice: "What's the matter? Tell me quickly."
"What are you doing?" Shi Ran heard the sound of typing on the keyboard on the phone, "Working overtime again?"
"Come on, you have to work overtime as long as you are alive. What? You have passed the review meeting, what else is there that you don't understand? Why don't you save a few days and wait until there are more questions and I will teach you together? I don't have time to serve you today."
Working overtime is the biggest enemy of an ignorant girl's heart. Shi Ran was poured cold water on her head, "Then you get busy, I'm going to die."
A few seconds after the phone hung up, Liu Yu called, "Just tell me if you want to borrow money. When Zheng Cun asked me to borrow money for rent, he was just like you now. Mother-in-law, don't be awkward. Have fun.
A little, how much do you want?"
"You'd better work overtime. Only working overtime is best for you. If you don't work overtime, it will be difficult to highlight your extraordinary talents."
Shi Ran's rare thought was strangled to death in the cradle by Liu Yu. This man must be allergic to romantic suggestions.
She hung up the phone again and touched the four-leaf clover in her collar, dumbfounded.
The next day on Sunday, it was time to go home for dinner. On Saturday afternoon, Shi Ran asked Cheng Xiuyan via WeChat if he was free and if he could make a call.
After more than ten minutes, Cheng Xiuyan replied: [It’s OK now.]
When the call was made, Cheng Xiuyan seemed to be outside, surrounded by the sounds of people passing by, chatting and laughing. Before Shi Ran could ask, he apologized, "Sorry, I was with a client at Disney, and they went in to do a project.
, I only have a few minutes."
Shi Ran sped up his speech, merged the two things into one, and said it quickly.
Cheng Xiuyan thought for a moment in silence, "What is the purpose of meeting your family this time?"
"I want to give my dad one last explanation. No matter what Liu Min thinks in the future, my dad should never treat you as his future son-in-law."
"But I don't seem to have the responsibility or obligation to give your father a so-called explanation?"
Shi Ran had imagined a worse situation than this, maybe Cheng Xiuyan wouldn't talk to her at all, or maybe it would be a colder rejection, or sarcasm and ridicule.
She said calmly: "So I'm just here to discuss with you. If you find it troublesome, just ignore my family's affairs and go to Zuo Han..."
"Zuo Han's problem can't be explained in one or two sentences, so I have to talk to you in person."
What does this mean? Shi Ran felt guilty towards Cheng Xiuyan. Talking in circles made her feel even more tired, so she asked, "Can I treat you to coffee some other time?"
Cheng Xiuyan changed the subject, "What time will it be tomorrow?"
"...Lunch, half past eleven."
"The gift I prepared this time is not included in the debt. It is my apology to your father. If I hadn't given him so much expectation, he wouldn't have been disappointed with our breakup. Even if the gift is my apology for the past,
If you agree to the compensation for the transgression, I will be here on time at noon tomorrow."
Even though they had gone through so much unrequited love, and Shi Ran had given him such a big blow when Cheng Xiuyan's grandparents passed away, looking back, he still maintained the principles and dignity of his life.
Shi Ran felt inferior in this regard. She was afraid to avoid Mother Cheng's kind and kind care. Looking back, she really felt ashamed of herself.
She asked Cheng Xiuyan if doing so would make him feel better.
Cheng Xiuyan replied: Yes.
Shi Ran thanked him, and Cheng Xiuyan said: No need.
Sunday's meal was not cooked at home. When Liu Min saw Cheng Xiuyan and received the new Gucci bag and health care products as gifts, she took his arm affectionately and dragged him and Shi Ransheng to the old street.
Let's go to the restaurant.
There were no obvious changes in Cheng Xiuyan. He was still wearing a black shirt, trousers and leather shoes in the summer, but he no longer stared at Shi Ran all the time, nor did he often put a smile on his face, making him look a little strange and alienated.
Wang Shuqin and Wang Yan arrived late to take their seats, but Feng Xinghai did not come this time.
Since the agreement had been made, Cheng Xiuyan no longer cared about the irrelevant people at the table. After punishing himself with three drinks, he sincerely apologized to Shi Jianning and Liu Min.
He said that he couldn't hold on anymore, and it was really impossible for Shi Ran to fall in love with him. If he continued to struggle, it would only make both of them feel painful. It was better to let go and live in peace.
