The paranoid boss always tries to trick me

There was a bone-chilling chill in the night wind, and Gu Wanran suddenly walked out of the room, shivering her neck uncontrollably from the cold.

She breathed lightly into her palm, wrapped her scarf tightly, and walked off the stage slowly.

In the darkness, a beam of light suddenly lit up, and it shrouded the open space in front of the steps, revealing a bit of warmth.

Only then did Gu Wanran realize that there was a car parked there.

She walked down the path, and the car door automatically opened from the inside. Jiang Yuechen sat inside with his eyes closed, his solemn and noble face was peaceful.

Gu Wanran got into the car, closed the door gently, and kept a distance from him, not daring to disturb him.

"You did a good job in the first stage of the competition." Jiang Yuechen spoke abruptly, praising Gu Wanran.

"...Mmm." Gu Wanran slightly raised the corners of her lips, and buried half of her face in the scarf, only revealing a pair of eyes.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​tea?"

...Of course it was because of Jiang Xianlin.

In this case, Gu Wanran dared not say it. She had read the diary, and Jiang Yuechen had also seen it, so she just said: "Before the game started, the staff served us tea, and there were several petals of tea leaves under the tea. The amount was a bit too much, so I couldn't help but think about it, and then I thought, I can try putting tea leaves in it, and I can probably control the fragrance."

Jiang Yuechen was silent for a moment, and then said "hmm".

I don't know if it's Gu Wanran's illusion, but I always feel that there is a hint of disappointment in his voice.

The interior of the car returned to silence, only the sound of the air conditioner heating in the air.

The second round was a week later. This time the test was about modern incense making, and a test question was added to test the amount of knowledge reserve. Gu Wanran completed it smoothly. She and Shen Yunlan deliberately chose a crowded place and successfully avoided the crowd. Open Wang Yan.

Walking out of the gate, the two were wrapped in coats and were discussing where to go for dinner first, when a voice sounded beside them.

"Miss Gu, President Jiang is waiting for you, please get in the car."

Shen Yunlan couldn't help looking at the car waiting outside the crowd, and smiled meaningfully: "It seems that lunch is not finished, so I'll go back first, and see you at the company tomorrow."

Gu Wanran waved to her, turned and walked to the car parked outside the crowd, opened the door and sat in it.

"Boss Jiang." She greeted politely, and tried to stick to the door to leave a certain space for the two of them.

Jiang Yuechen's thin lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he looked up indifferently, then suddenly closed his mouth tightly, and turned his head away.

Gu Wanran tilted her head in doubt, and the car door opened behind her unexpectedly, almost causing her to fall out of the car, but fortunately she was wearing a seat belt.

"Inside just now, you deliberately picked a place with a lot of people, did you want to..."

Wang Yan's arrogant expression froze on her face, looking at the person sitting at the other end of the car, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, and her expression quickly changed, "Mr. Jiang, Miss Song is nearby, you Look, do you want to..."

"close the door."

The cold voice interrupted her, and there was no doubt in her calm tone.

Wang Yan's hand holding the door did not move, the cold wind kept pouring in from the outside, blowing away the heating inside the car, and the air pressure around Jiang Yuechen's body dropped significantly.

Gu Wanran watched his heart carefully, and didn't want to get involved with them at all.

Jiang Yuechen frowned, with obvious impatience on his face. The driver saw it in the rearview mirror, got out of the car, walked behind Wang Yan, and forced her to release the door.

Wang Yan yelled outside the car, attracting countless gazes. Gu Wanran didn't have to feel those gazes across the car.

After the door was closed, the air conditioner in the car finally returned to normal.

She rubbed her hands together lightly and placed them neatly on her knees.

Jiang Yuechen: "Go and drive."

Gu Wanran was startled: "I drive? Then he..."

... The driver outside the window was entangled with Wang Yan, and he might not be able to come back for a while.

Jiang Yuechen's face was dark and impatient, Gu Wanran stopped talking, got out of the car, greeted the driver, walked around to the front driver's seat, and drove away.

She held the steering wheel firmly and looked ahead, not daring to be distracted in the slightest.

The unfamiliarity brought about by not driving for a long time made her appear cautious when she was on the road.

Glancing at the address on the navigation, Gu Wanran confirmed to him: "Boss Jiang, you're going to Xiwei Restaurant, aren't you?"

"Ah."

After confirming the address, seeing that he was not in a hurry, Gu Wanran drove the car all the way to the restaurant at a slow speed.

Waiter Shen who was waiting at the door immediately opened the car door for him, and after Jiang Yuechen got out of the car, Gu Wanran followed.

"The banquet is all set, and the people you want to invite are already inside." Shen Shi respectfully said.

There was no expression on Jiang Yuechen's indifferent face, he nodded lightly, motioning for Gu Wanran to follow, and then walked in.

Gu Wanran and Shen Shi followed Jiang Yuechen from left to right, walked all the way to a private room on the second floor, opened the door and walked in.

There were quite a few people sitting at the table, most of them looked young, when they saw Jiang Yuechen coming in, they got up one after another:

"Mr. Jiang, good afternoon. I'm Shi Zhi. I was No.1 in last year's perfume competition."

"Mr. Jiang, I'm Qiao Nan. Although I was eliminated in the third round of the perfume competition last year, my perfume has been well received so far. This is my business card..."

"..."

Everyone introduced themselves one by one, Jiang Yuechen was quite patient, after listening to their introduction, he nodded lightly and sat down with Gu Wanran.

Many people's eyes were on Gu Wanran, and Gu Wanran already knew Jiang Yuechen's intentions.

She clenched her hand under the dining table, and with a just right smile on her face, she took the initiative to greet everyone.

Just as she thought, Jiang Yuechen invited these people to teach her experience, and they also took out the perfumes they submitted during the competition. The perfume that Qiao Nan, who was eliminated in the third round, really produced. The best among the people, but due to insufficient points, did not enter the stage of submitting perfume.

Gu Wanran gently sniffed each perfume, another seed of problem was planted in her heart.

She communicated with everyone calmly, trying to delay the time as much as possible, and prolonging the banquet infinitely.

Jiang Yuechen was extremely patient today, and sat motionless in his seat after eating, listening to their conversation quietly.

Gu Wanran became anxious in her heart, and wanted to send him away. She touched the phone in her pocket, and under the guise of adding the contact information of a few people, she quietly sent a message to Shen Yunlan, asking her to disclose what happened between herself and Jiang Yuechen at Xiwei Restaurant For Wang Yan and Song Yunrou.

Half an hour later, Shen Shi opened the door and walked in, whispering beside Jiang Yuechen, Gu Wanran heard the word "Song Yunrou", and knew that she was looking for her.

Jiang Yuechen frowned, gave an irritable "tsk", stood up and walked out of the private room.

Gu Wanran breathed a sigh of relief, and seized the time to ask: "Are you familiar with the previous seniors or the judges? I have always been worried that my perfume will not pass the test, and I want to know in advance what styles the judges like."

Cheng Zhi pondered for a moment, and thought about it: "The one I know, Ms. Gu should also know, is your father. Mr. Gu once helped me. I learned perfume by myself at first, just watching his videos."

"What about other than the first time?"

"Besides... oh yes, when Mr. Gu helped me before, he knew that I was self-taught, but he mentioned a gentleman named Chen to me. He said that I am very similar to that gentleman. After the game, out of curiosity, I went to investigate."

"The Mr. Chen named Chen Yue is a very talented person. There were rumors at the time that Mr. Gu used Mr. Chen's perfume to compete in the competition to get No.1 and forced Mr. Chen to commit suicide. But I don't believe that Mr. Gu is that kind of person, Mr. Gu's perfume is already very good, there is no need to do this."

"I continued to investigate, only to find out that this rumor was made by another contestant who was jealous of them. He said the matter clearly and even gave some evidence at the time..."

Gu Wanran asked anxiously: "Who is that person spreading rumors?"

Cheng Ji shook his head: "Unfortunately, when I searched here, the clues were cut off. Because I couldn't continue to search, many people speculated that it was Mr. Gu's self-directed and self-acted."

Qiao Nan: "I believe in Mr. Gu's character. He also helped me. There are many dirty rumors in the perfume competition every year. Miss Gu is so good this year, and many people have already started throwing dirty water. You don't have to Concerned about this rumor about Mr. Gu, everyone in the industry knows what's going on."

"……thanks."

Gu Wanran was a little choked up, she squeezed her palm, and seeing that there was no obvious answer to this question, she asked them about the judges.

Several people knew everything, and some people talked about Zheng Linwen, but because of this, he was too mysterious, and if opportunities did not arise these years, they would not be able to say anything.

Although Gu Wanran still had a lot of questions to ask, he still changed the topic and tried to guide it to normal topics, in case Jiang Yuechen came back suddenly.

Facts have proved that her worries are completely unnecessary, and it was Shen Shi who came in instead of Jiang Yuechen.

After the banquet, Attendant Shen ordered several people to be sent back one by one, and personally sent Gu Wanran back to the villa.

"Gu Wanran, Mr. Jiang doesn't want to affect your mood in the game. I can forgive you for this incident, but there will be no next time."

Gu Wanran's eyelids twitched, and he said flatly, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Shen Shi did not explain: "Go to work on time tomorrow."

He turned around neatly, got in the car and left.

Gu Wanran stood at the door and watched the car go away, but instead of going into the villa immediately, he went to the hospital.

Gu Linshan: "You mean...the person spreading rumors is probably the one who harmed me and Chen Yue?"

Gu Wanran: "Yes, was there anyone who was targeting you all the time, or was it Chen Yue?"

"...No." Gu Linshan pondered for a moment, his eyelids slightly raised, "There is such a person who pestered Chen Yue, saying that he admired him, and kept chasing after him asking questions... I felt that he Something is wrong."

"Not right?"

"The more you admire, the more likely you are to be jealous. The program just tells you that it is someone who is jealous of us, isn't it?"

"Then... he is?"

"I can't remember his name, but later I heard that he seemed to be doing well and went to a big company. Because I don't like him, I never asked his name, nor did I pay attention to his news. I'm really sorry. Your hard-earned news."
