"Come in."

Xiao Ran saw Rong Qing in his arms lowered his hands, eyes drooping, and the pearl necklace on his wrist shone strangely, which was quite scary.

The people outside the door, hearing her voice, didn't know whether to enter or not.

The door opened.

The little secretary stood timidly at the door, "Mr. Rong."

What else can I do, Rong Qing can only wave his hand: "Go to work."

The office is quite large, with an area of ​​more than 100 square meters, and the decoration is simple and not fancy.

Sun Gan greeted the two of them, walked around the two green plants at the gate, walked to the water tank, and observed the arowana in the tank seriously.

The fish was probably full, and was sleeping with its eyes open, without moving a bit. Sun Ganfei didn't let it sleep, so he knocked on the glass with his hand, making a bang bang bang sound.

Rong Qing glanced at her sideways, turned back and patted Xiao Ran's hand, and said in a low voice, "I'll look for you in the afternoon."

Xiao Ran hummed, turned his head, and walked out of the office extremely quickly.

boom--

The door is closed.

Rong Qing walked through the corridor, sat down in front of the sofa, pressed the red button of the automatic water pump on the left, turned out the long box under the coffee table, and took out a bag of black tea.

She turned her head and saw that Sun Qian was still teasing the fish, and said in a helpless tone, "Let him sleep for a while."

Sun Gan stopped knocking on the glass, and looked back at Rong Qing who was making tea out of curiosity, "Where have you been this week?"

Rong Qing lowered his head, poured hot water into the white porcelain teacup, held the rim of the cup with a rosewood clip, put one cup into the other, and twirled it, making a crisp sound.

She took out the saucer, put it on the empty space next to the coffee table, slowly poured boiling water into the glass jug to cool, then closed her hand, with an elegant posture, and raised her head to signal Sun Qian to sit down.

"Go back to the old man's house." She said.

Sun Gan tapped lightly on the front of the teacup with his index finger, and made a tut sound, "No wonder, the old man often took him to class at home."

The old man of the Rong family loves to drink tea, but Rong Qing is not. He seldom makes tea on his own initiative. Seeing her skillful gestures, Sun Qian probably made some tea for the old man this week.

Rong Qing showed bitterness, holding the justice cup between his fingertips, and after pouring Sun Gan a cup, he tilted his body to the side, "Don't mention it. The old man talks about business from drinking tea, from business to life, and from life to life." to live."

"You didn't run away."

"Didn't run."

Sun Gan didn't understand, and leaned forward: "What are you trying to figure out?"

"When Mr. Tu finds out that her daughter has a young lover, think about her daughter being so well-behaved, so be gentle."

The sofa was slightly sunken, and Rong Qing slumped lazily on the black sofa, with one hand on the pillow, playing with the tassels that fell from the pillow.

Sun Qian only found out a few days ago that Xiao Ran had dinner with the old man. To be honest, it was not an easy matter.

With hundreds of people in the whole company, Xiao Ran won only one prize.

How small is the chance?Has anyone moved their hands or feet among them?Why move?

Did the old man already know it?

All this is unknown, only the old man knows.

But the old man didn't do anything, even giving out a special prize at the party, this kind of thing is not uncommon.

At dinner with the staff, take a few photos, and then promote it, it is also a good name.

Sun Qian turned his head to look at Rong Qing. Although she was very depressed when she said it, she didn't hide in her eyes, nor flinched on her face. There seemed to be something different in her usual lazy demeanor.

As for what it was, Sun Qian couldn't tell.

She couldn't help asking, "You like Xiao Ran that much?"

"Stop!" Rong Qing sat up straight, with a serious face, she said very firmly: "I'm not for her."

"I do this for myself. It doesn't matter if the old man knows that I like girls sooner or later, he will know sooner or later. It's better to know sooner than later. At least now that he is young and healthy, he can still beat me. To avoid getting old and having bad legs , I can’t even hit him, what should I do if I hold back my anger.”

"That's what I said, but if Xiao Ran is just a little lover, if you listen to your father and separate from her. I don't think this beating will happen, but if you don't separate, you think it will be over with a beating." Is it?" Sun Qian sat upright, she felt that the situation was not as optimistic as her friends thought, and she was not optimistic about the development between the two, not to mention that Rong Qing still didn't answer her question.

"So, do you really like her that much?" Sun Qian had to ask again.

It wasn't very important, but she was really curious.

Rong Qing picked up the white porcelain cup on the table, took a sip of tea, and said very stubbornly: "It has nothing to do with whether I like her or not. This is my own problem. Besides, she likes me."

"If we break up, maybe it will be so sad." She was confident, her eyes were a little erratic, and she was also a little angry. She took a sip of tea to cover up, "Okay! Wu Yue doesn't talk as much as you."

"Wu Yue is in class." Sun Gan couldn't help his eyelids twitching, but seeing that she didn't want to talk, he didn't continue to ask.

--

"Besides, she likes me."

"If we break up, maybe it will be so sad."

Xiao Ran stopped knocking on the door, stood at the door, looked down at the red handle in a daze.

She didn't.

She didn't know what Rong Qing was thinking, but she felt that she would be sad if she left her.

She really didn't.

Xiao Ran tugged at the neckline, feeling tight, and her breathing was a bit uncomfortable because of the tightness, did she not hear enough of these words?

There were more in the previous life, what Rong Qing said, what her friends said, and outsiders said.

Has she not heard enough?

Do it again, and keep listening, sometimes Xiao Ran really doesn't understand himself.

Forget it.

Xiao Ran closed his eyes, unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, breathed better, and there was not much time left.

Just go with her.

endured.

She didn't want to take the documents that she had left in the office, so she just printed out a new copy, it would be too embarrassing, and she didn't want to see Rong Qing in a short time.

Turn around and go to the elevator.

go fast!go fast!

The black and white cool-colored decoration on the 42nd floor is extremely depressing. Large areas of white walls and black borders make people breathless.

The sounds of phone calls, talking, and typing from all the busy people are extremely harsh.

The elevator didn't come for a long time.

Xiao Ran's ears hurt, he looked at the elevator that was still on the 40th floor, it drove directly down from the 40th floor, and didn't come up at all.

Pushed away the stairwell of the fire escape next door.

Go down.

In the darkness, following the sound of footsteps, the lights turned on, and the light from the incandescent lamp in the stairwell was pale, but Xiao Ran didn't care, and walked down expressionlessly.

She didn't even know how to get to the 17th floor.

"Xiao Ran, why did you go? You're sweating." Wang Ke held a small red bag of snacks in his hand, and tore open an opening. Before he started eating, he turned around and saw Xiao Ran coming back.

His forehead was covered with sweat, and the broken hair in front of his forehead was wet and slightly messy, giving him a strange beauty.

Xiao Ran pulled the stool away, sat down and took a breath, "Floor 42, maybe I walked too fast."

"Come down? The elevator is broken again? Last time I was on the 6th floor, the door opened and closed, but it didn't go down. A group of people were terrified, but didn't they just finish changing last time?" Wang Ke held the The snack was handed to Xiao Ran, and the red nail polish was exposed between her fingers. She was a little puzzled, and she handed it over and said: "And the 42nd floor is dedicated to the president's floor, it shouldn't be."

Xiao Ran closed his eyes, leaned on the back of the chair, his body was a little weak, "It's not broken."

"I just want to walk."

Wang Ke looked at her and didn't know what to say for a while, he just stretched his hand back, and the chair slid back to his seat.

Xiao Li from the same office asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with her?"

"I don't know, something is wrong." Wang Ke replied, she thought for a while and said, "I wonder if I'm going to have dinner with the chairman tonight, I'm too nervous."

"possible."

It looks like it's less than three o'clock in the afternoon.

At the door on the 17th floor, someone knocked on the glass door, making a thumping sound.

Most of the people in the logistics department were still taking a nap, and were suddenly awakened by the knock on the door, and each slowly got up and looked towards the door.

The little secretary wore a well-fitting suit and said with a smile, "Is Xiao Ran there?"

In the corner of the office, Wang Ke rubbed his eyes, pulled the blanket into his arms, raised his head and said to the little secretary, "Go to the toilet, you sit down, I'll call her."

Just as the little secretary was about to say no, she happened to be passing by. If she wasn't there, she could just make a phone call, but there were familiar footsteps behind her.

It was the sound of sneakers.

When she turned her head, she saw Li Ran holding a towel in his hand and was wiping the water droplets from his hair. She didn't know if he had swum or something.

The huge transparent glass window in the corridor, the sun shines in, and it is divided into two halves. On the other side of the sun, the lowered eyelashes are like golden feathers, flickering and flickering, which makes people's heart beat.

"Secretary Xu." Her voice was cold.

After the little secretary bowed her head to say hello, she said softly, "Mr. Rong, I want to ask you out at 03:30 in the afternoon."

Xiao Ran nodded calmly.

didn't say anything.

03:30, there are still two and a half hours before the dinner time at six o'clock in the evening.

Rong Qing stood at the door, applying makeup in front of the mirror.

Eye makeup is fine.

It's just that the color almost means it.

How about changing the color of the lipstick? Rong Qing looked down at her small bag, took out a newly bought color, and reapplied it before wiping it off.

It's much better now.

It's just that the hair is still messy, and it's too late to wash and style it. It seems that there is still spray in the bathroom cabinet, and there is a knock on the door.

"Mr. Rong, Xiao Ran is here."

Rong Qing hurriedly stuffed the lipstick and eyebrow pencil into the bag, straightened out her clothes, and hurriedly moved the sundries under the table.

correct!hair!

Too late to get it!

Rong Qing bent down to put on the high heels, picked up the small bag next to the sofa, and quickly walked to the door to open it, "Let's go!"

"Where?"

Xiao Ran was confused, and was pushed into the back seat of the car. Rong Qing sat in, leaning on the side with his slender legs not knowing how to place them.

Once on the road, there are a lot of words.

"We're going to buy you a suit first, and we're doing your hair. I'll give you a present for my dad at dinner. I'll choose it and keep it in the trunk. You'll send it over as soon as we meet. He's a bit stubborn and serious."

"But you don't have to be too scared, just be normal."

"He doesn't like others to refute him. If you have something to say, if you feel that what he said is wrong, don't refute it immediately. Just say what he wants, and you have the right to broaden your understanding."

Rong Qing put on his seat belt and paused for a moment.

She turned her head and rubbed Xiao Ran's head, smiling very gently: "Just in case, I mean just in case."

"Anything bad he said to you, or—"

"If you tell me to leave, you don't have to pay attention to it, just leave it to me."

Xiao Ran looked up at her lightly, put on his seat belt, sat up straight and looked out of the car window, "Okay."

...

45:[-] p.m.

In Nanshi's iconic building, the outer walls of the floors are illuminated with colorful lights, which follow the steel-like lines of the building and light up sequentially in an orderly manner.

The building has more than 90 floors and is the tallest building in the city. The downstairs is the hotel and office area, and the 88th floor is the sky restaurant. The restaurant has always been famous for its scenery. The 360-degree transparent glass wall, sitting at that position, can see the whole city The most beautiful night view.

Dinner will be here.

Xiao Ran was wearing the new clothes he just bought, and the voice of Rong Qing muttering all afternoon still lingered in his ears. He was holding a gift box in his hand, which looked like tea. The packaging was made of gold and red threads, and he had just walked into the elevator.

In the elevator, a very young staff member asked, "Which floor is it?"

"Floor 88, thank you." Xiao Ran replied politely.

She stood in the corner of the elevator, which was also a transparent glass wall. She held on to the railing with one hand and stared at the red number on the top.

The numbers became fast, jumping from the first floor to the 88th floor very quickly.

drop!

Arrived.

Xiao Ran was breathing a little fast, and was inexplicably nervous. She stepped out of the elevator door and looked at herself against the next wall.

The hairstyle just done is fluffy and smooth, and the hair is as smooth as black satin.

In the afternoon, she was dragged by Rong Qing to the beauty salon. After finishing a set of series, her face will look fair and full of luster.

clothes.

Xiao Ran didn't understand what kind of clothes Rong Qing chose for her. Anyway, there was no part of her body exposed, only a little skin was exposed on her slender neck.

But also clean and tidy.

Xiao Ran didn't want to understand, shook his head, and strode towards the concierge at the entrance of the restaurant.

Before Xiao Ran asked where it was, the waiter took the initiative to ask for her surname, and brought her in with a smile.

Xiao Ran followed behind, her eyes were facing the waiter's waistcoat tie, she was wearing a suit on her upper body, and a western skirt on her lower body, she looked young, but her movements were quite skillful, she looked away and looked at the restaurant.

It was less than six o'clock, and there were not many people, just a few scattered tables.The restaurant serves western food, the decoration style is mainly fashionable and simple, the furniture is also in a modern style, the chairs and benches are unique in shape, Xiao Ran does not dislike it, on the contrary, he finds it a bit novel.

Rong Qing's father chose this restaurant?

Xiao Ran was a little puzzled, but he didn't think too much about it. He walked through the long outer hall, and there were several private rooms inside. One of the doors was open, and there was a man with his head lowered fiddling with a camera at the door.

He was wearing a suit, with slender limbs, and a pair of gold-rimmed spectacle frames, as if he had finished the equipment. He looked up and saw Xiao Ran walking over, with a smile on his face, and walked quickly, "Miss Xiao, good evening, I am Fang Kai, secretary to the chairman."

"Hello." Xiao Ran nodded, and the waiter pointed to Fang Kai's room and said, "This is your private room, call me if you need anything."

Xiao Ran hummed.

There is no one in the private room yet, and the dining table has already been set up. It is one meter wide and can have a rectangular long table about 2 meters long. The long tablecloth made of mahogany hangs down to the foot of the table. The wind blows and raises the tassels at the corners .

"Sit back inside first." Secretary Fang put the camera in his hand on the wine counter near the door, and handed her a bottle of mineral water.

Xiao Ran didn't sit at the dining table, but sat down on the sofa in the lower left corner of the room. She turned her head and saw the glass windows stretching far and wide. Her vision was so wide that it made people dizzy.

"You are better than the photo!" Secretary Fang said with a smile, his calm and friendly attitude made people feel comfortable.

Xiao Ran said thank you, thinking it was a photo from the party some time ago, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

There are watches on the wall.

It's almost six o'clock.

2 minutes to go.

Footsteps sounded outside the corridor, Ta Tada——

Xiao Ran remembered what Rong Qing said: "Although my father is serious, he is a little serious! Don't be too afraid!"

exhaled.

Xiao Ran sat up straight, his shoulders were erect, his neck was stiff, and it was the first time in his life that he was working on a project independently, and he was not so nervous.

The door is pushed open.

A man in a three-piece suit walks in.

He doesn't look very old, at most in his early 50s, with no gray hair, an ordinary man's head, the length of his eyebrows, his ears, his body is slightly round, but not fat.

When he entered the door, he put the bag in his hand on the sofa, neatly arranged, with a smile on his face, "You must be Xiao Ran, that's great, you look so young."

Secretary Fang took the initiative to pull the chair, but the man waved his hand, "I can do it myself."

The room was very quiet. Hearing this, Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, then stood up, "Hello, Chairman."

Xiao Ran came back to his senses, bent down to pick up the gift box on the sofa floor, and handed it out with both hands: "It's our first meeting, this is a small gift I prepared."

Secretary Fang standing behind was a little surprised, maybe he didn't expect to think about these things at a young age.

The man glanced at the packaging of the gift box, and there was no need to guess what it was. The outside of the box said Alpine Tea, he nodded, reached out to take it, and put it on the chair next to him.

"Sit down." Father Rong pointed to the seat opposite, with a smile on his face, he turned his head to Secretary Fang and said, "The food can be served."

Secretary Fang nodded and walked out of the room.

Right now, only Xiao Ran and Father Rong are left in the room.

She was inevitably a little restless.

"Little friend, how old are you?" Father Rong's tone was calm. He was about 1.7 meters tall, which should be about the same as Xiao Ran, but he was a head taller than her when he sat down.

Father Rong looked at Xiao Ran carefully, she had long legs and a high waist, she looked like an adult when she was standing, but she was not tall when she was sitting, her skin was immature, she looked like a big child.

"20 years old?" Xiao Ran thought for a while, but couldn't remember how old he was now.

"Where are you from in Guangdong?"

"Kirin Island."

The room grew quiet.

Father Rong seemed to have known from a long time ago that his eyes were very similar to Rong Qing's, but when he heard her age, he still frowned.

It shouldn't be said, most of the interns are around 20 years old.

Just when both of them were silent, Secretary Fang came back.

Good luck.

Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief, his back was sore all the time, and he secretly moved forward.

"Chairman, do you think I'm going to take pictures of you now, or wait?" Secretary Fang pushed open the door, and light music came from the hall outside the door, and the atmosphere eased a lot.

Father Rong moved his body forward, approaching the center of the long table, and said with a smile, "Let's shoot now, after you get off work, you don't need to wait by your side, just let the driver see me off later."

It's not as serious and rigid as Rong Qing said.

Thinking silently, Xiao Ran moved over, showing a slightly unnatural smile.

The lights flickered.

The most important part of this meal is the end.

Secretary Fang put away the camera, talked to the chairman, packed up his things and left work.

Only Xiao Ran was left.

The dishes haven't been served yet.

When will it end?

Xiao Ran turned sideways and loosened his shoulders, picked up the glass on the table, and took a sip. The water glass shook as if it was about to fall.

"Nervous?" Father Rong asked her.

Xiao Ran came back to his senses, looked up at the smiling Father Rong, thought for a while, and nodded slowly: "A little bit."

Father Rong smiled, and there were smile lines on his face, which made him look a bit like a man in his 50s.

"Relax."

Father Rong pointed to the crooked collar clip on her chest, and said with a smile, "I haven't been a big brother for many years."

. . .

Rong Qing's father was also a big brother?

Xiao Ran was surprised, couldn't believe it, paused, and realized—

wrong.

Is the old man joking with himself? ?

Following the old man's gestures, Xiao Ran looked down at the crooked collar clip, blinked his eyes, hey!

I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and wanted to laugh.

The atmosphere just got better.

Not a bad dinner, honestly.

Father Rong is quite kind, there is no confrontation as imagined, and he is not as stubborn and old-fashioned as Rong Qing said, and even in many cases, his views make Xiao Ran feel that they are not outdated at all.

very surprised.

"When I was young, I studied abroad for several years. At that time, I knew the mother of my daughter Duoduo. She liked to travel very much. We traveled all the way from France to Singapore by boat. After we got married, we had Duoduo, so we didn't go out often. "

"Later." Father Rong lowered his head and cut a piece of beef. He didn't eat or speak, but took a sip from his wine glass.

Father Rong looked at Xiao Ran through the tall candlestick and the light, in a daze for a moment, and said with a smile: "This is the first time I saw your photo, I think you look like her."

"Her?" Xiao Ran raised her head, she asked doubtfully, "Who is she?"

"Duo Duo's mother. I can't tell where it is, but I always feel that you have similarities."

Xiao Ran was a little hesitant, she remembered that when Rong Qing was very young, her mother passed away, so?

what is she

The string in Xiao Ran's mind was stretched very long and very tight, like a slingshot that was stretched to the full, and it almost collapsed.

"Boss Rong loves her mother very much?" She couldn't help asking.

Father Rong paused for a while, looked at her expression, and after a while, his voice was a little low: "Her mother was vacationing with her on Qilin Island back then, and when she was in shipwreck, she left when she was saving her."

Like the last straw, it broke Xiao Ran.

After that, everything is not so clear.

I just remember that I went back to the villa by car, went back to the room, and waited until I regained my senses.

Xiao Ran held the piggy bank in his arms.

The door was locked, and when my aunt woke up in the morning, she called several times, but no one answered, thinking of Xiao Ran's expression last night, when she was almost about to call the police.

The person inside the door finally spoke.

"Sister Lin, I'll sit alone." The voice was very soft, but at least it sounded sober.

In the dim room, Xiao Ran hugged the piggy bank, stood up, and circled the desk twice.

No wonder!

Why was Rong Qing so abnormal the first time he saw her.

What the hell is going on with this man?Xiao Ran couldn't figure it out, she thought of her previous life and this life.

What's the difference?

What does she mean by coming back?

Doesn't she have a life of her own?Always someone else in Rong Qing's eyes.

Or the non-existent lover Xiao Ran.

Either!

Forget it?Can I still count this time?

Fuck her. Forget it.

Quit it!

damn it!What breaks the contract, is it legal?Totally illegal!

Xiao Ran stopped in his tracks, put down the piggy bank in his hand, ran to the dressing room next door, and pushed out the luggage with a patter, he didn't want these clothes!

Only pack what she brought, nothing else!

There are not many things, but after staying for a few days, things are inevitably scattered. I put one here, and another there. It will be ten o'clock when I finish packing.

Xiao Ran zipped up the suitcase, and glanced around the room.

right!And the contract!

She ran to the bedside table barefoot, squatted down and opened it, and there were many things inside, scattered all over the floor. Just as she found it, a light voice came from behind, "Xiao Ran, I'm back."

The author has something to say: Hahahahaha, Mr. Rong will be back soon, chasing his wife to the crematorium! ! ! !
