Dressed as the heroine and her ex-wife

"Yes, how do you know?"

The affirmative voice came from the other end of the phone, and Lin Yiran felt as if he had been slapped in the head, and he was dumbfounded.

After a long time, she heard herself asking, "Who is it?"

"Pfft—I'm joking." There was a crisp laughter from the other end of the phone, "Don't you know if I'm in love or not?"

Lin Yiran breathed a sigh of relief, but when he thought about being tricked, his face turned red again, "How do I know, maybe I met someone in the crew, and they secretly fell in love behind my back."

She felt something was wrong after she finished speaking, she shook her head quickly, trying to get that strange thought out of her head.

At the same time, the laughter on the other end of the phone grew louder.

Lin Yiran frowned, "Stop laughing, what's so funny."

As soon as the voice fell, the laughter on the other end of the phone became louder, and the roof almost fell off.

"If that's the case, I'll hang up the phone."

As soon as the voice fell, the laughter instantly subsided, and then returned to calm.

"Ahem, I'm sorry." Gu Jianxi apologized kindly, then changed the subject and asked, "But why did you suddenly ask this question?"

"No, it's nothing, I just asked casually when I suddenly remembered it." Lin Yiran stammered and explained, not believing it himself.

"Really asking casually?" Gu Jianxi obviously didn't believe it either?

"Uh, um." Lin Yiran was afraid that Gu Jianxi would continue to ask, so he hurriedly changed the topic, "You just got home, do you want to have a good rest, I won't disturb your rest."

"I've already had a rest on the road, so I can't sleep right now. I just need to talk to you to refresh myself." Gu Jianxi brought the topic back, "Which hotel are you staying in? Are there any vacancies?"

Lin Yiran mistakenly thought that the other party was still thinking about what Zhou Xiu said that there was only one room left for the two of them to live together, so he immediately smiled and said: "There should be more, I didn't live with the secretary." There is no need to Gu Jianxi Asked, she said that she was assigned to the presidential suite, and the secretary was on another floor, and she even explained the matter of having dinner and negotiating the contract by herself.

"Have you made an appointment for dinner? Will you drink?"

drink wine?

Lin Yiran shook his head and denied without thinking.

She is well aware of her drinking capacity, but she dare not drink in front of strangers, not to mention that Xu Xiao is still the partner she wants to discuss.

"But when it comes to business, you more or less have to drink a drink?"

"So that means I'm allergic to alcohol?"

"Pfft-"

Lin Yiran heard this voice and said quickly, "Don't laugh!" Then quickly changed the subject, "Then what do you think you can do to stop drinking?"

"You mean kidney deficiency?"

Lin Yiran: "..." Isn't this reason more unreliable than the alcohol allergy she said?And how could she make such a reason come out?

"I'm joking." Gu Jianxi coughed lightly, "Just say it directly, if it doesn't work, just drink a little, and call the secretary to help you drink the rest."

The problem is she can't drink at all.

Lin Yiran wanted to cry but had no tears, but in order not to arouse the other party's suspicion, he could only accept it.

"By the way, another way is to drink some milk or yogurt before drinking, so that you won't get drunk easily."

This method sounds much more reliable, Lin Yiran nodded, "I'll give it a try."

"You can also drink some hangover soup after drinking."

"it is good."

The two discussed the countermeasures for a long time on the question of "how not to get drunk".

In the end, Lin Yiran became sleepy and couldn't keep his eyes open, so he yawned involuntarily.

"you are tired?"

"Yeah." Lin Yiran resisted the drowsiness and explained vaguely, "I didn't sleep well last night."

"Then you rest first, we'll talk tonight."

"Okay." After answering in a daze, Lin Yiran put the phone aside and hugged the quilt to sleep.

When she woke up, it was dark, and her vision was pitch black.

Lin Yiran fumbled to turn on the bedside lamp, yawned and sat up, after a daze for a while, he fully woke up, thinking about the dinner at night.

She hurriedly found the mobile phone on the side, picked it up and found that the call was still going on, lasting four and a half hours.

She scratched her cheek and called out tentatively, "Sister Jianxi?"

"Well, are you awake?" Gu Jianxi's voice sounded quickly.

boom--

Lin Yiran's cheeks flushed quickly, and he stammered and asked, "Sister Jianxi, why are you still here?"

She touched the corner of her mouth, trying to recall whether she had a dream, and then thought that she hadn't snored or talked in her sleep just now.

"I've always been here." Gu Jianxi asked, "Who is Mo Ran?"

As soon as Lin Yiran heard it, she knew that she must be talking in her sleep. After all, no one else in this world knew this name except her.

She turned her brain quickly for a while before explaining: "Yes, he is a friend of mine."

"I never heard you talk about it."

"It's not a particularly good friend, it's just that I met recently and then had a little communication."

"But as the saying goes, "Think about it every day, dream about it at night." "It seems that you care about this person named Mo Ran."

Lin Yiran heard that Gu Jianxi's voice was different from before, but he didn't have the time to identify it carefully, he just wanted to bring the topic of "Mo Ran" to the past.

"Nothing." She denied it flatly, "the other party already has someone he likes."

"So you can't get what you want, and then you can only hide it in your heart, and finally tell the truth in your dream?"

Lin Yiran was stunned: "Huh?"

"Ranran, you—"

"Sister Jianxi." Seeing that Gu Jianxi's words became more and more outrageous, Lin Yiran interrupted Gu Jianxi dumbfoundedly, "I'm really just an ordinary friend, I've only met two or three times."

"Really?"

"Really. It's more real than pearls." Lin Yiran nodded sincerely, "And, and Mo Ran...Miss has a cold personality, which is not my style."

I don't know if it was her illusion, but after saying this, the other end of the phone became even more silent.

"Dong dong dong——" the door was knocked suddenly, Lin Yiran came back to his senses, and looked at the time, "Sister Jianxi, I have to pack up and go out, we will talk later."

"Ah."

Lin Yiran recognized the depression in Gu Jianxi's voice, and was a little confused. Before he could figure out why, he was pulled back to his senses by the knock on the door, "Wait a minute."

Lin Yiran fell asleep with greasy hair and dirty face, so of course he couldn't just go out like this, and had to freshen up again, and it would be half an hour before he could go out.

The place to eat is the hotel's Chinese restaurant box, and there are two black-clothed bodyguards waiting at the door of the box.

When entering the door, the secretary was stopped.

Lin Yiran didn't say anything, just nodded with the secretary and walked in alone.

Now it's a socialist society, Xu Xiao can't ignore what the Lin family behind her is doing.

The size of the private box is very large. As soon as you enter the door, you will see wooden old-fashioned wooden chairs. Further inside is a screen with landscape paintings. There is a guqin in front of the screen. There are rockery and flowing water next to it. It looks full of poetic and elegant taste .

Lin Yiran was satisfied from the bottom of his heart, but he still kept his expression on his face. He turned his eyes to Xu Xiao who was not far away, "Mr. Xu."

"I've already said that it's fine to call me Sister Xiao, but it's too weird to call Mr. Xu."

Xu Xiao has delicate facial features, and her neat short hair adds to her heroism. When she smiles, her eyes are squinted, and she looks very amiable.

But with Zhou Xiu's advice first, and the stalk of "squinting eyes are monsters" when writing, Lin Yiran couldn't help but pay more attention to the other party as soon as they met.

Lin Yiran could only laugh at Xu Xiao's closeness, and said in a distant manner: "Mr. Xu is joking."

Xu Xiao's smile froze for a moment, but she soon eased over, and changed her address, "Boss Lin, come and try the tea I made?"

"Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient." Lin Yiran didn't know much about tea, but felt that the tea had a faint fragrance as soon as he sipped it, as if it could wash away the tiredness all over his body. "Good tea."

"This tea is our local specialty. If Mr. Lin likes it, I'll ask someone to prepare some for you later."

As the saying goes, "you don't get paid for nothing", especially if the other party is someone who has thoughts about himself, let alone accept gifts from the other party.

Lin Yiran put down the teacup, and said with a smile, "I usually drink less tea, so I won't spoil it. Mr. Xu should leave it to those who know how to appreciate it."

"It's its blessing that Mr. Lin likes it. Don't be polite to me. And the visitor is a guest, so I can't let you go back empty-handed."

It's all about this, Lin Yiran can only agree, "Then thank you, Mr. Xu."

Chatting here and there for a long time, Lin Yiran felt that the ten-minute tea party was more tiring than her whole day's work.

When she was about to stop talking, Xu Xiao got up, "Boss Lin, the food is ready, let's talk about it after serving the table."

Lin Yiran breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and nodded.

The round table was very large, and it seemed empty after the two of them were seated, but there were quite a lot of dishes on the turntable, and there were seven or eight dishes in detail.

Lin Yiran didn't like extravagance and waste, her lips moved, but thinking that this was someone else's territory, she didn't say anything in the end.

"I don't know what you like to eat, Mr. Lin, so I prepared some of everything." Xu Xiao said politely, "Mr. Lin, try it quickly and see if it suits your appetite."

"I'm not picky about food." Lin Yiran saw red wine on the turntable when he said that, remembering that he hadn't drank milk while grooming, he couldn't help but get a headache.

The waiter served a hot towel, and then opened the red wine under Xu Xiao's instructions.

Lin Yiran immediately reached out to stop him and said, "Mr. Xu, I feel a little unwell recently, and I may not be able to drink anymore."

"Just a drink, it's fine."

Lin Yiran shook his head, and replied seriously: "No, you can't drink any wine."

"That's really a pity." Xu Xiao changed her tune, "Then have a drink?"

Lin Yiran breathed a sigh of relief and nodded readily.

At noon, she had no appetite and didn't eat much. Now she smelled the smell of food and was already hungry, so she didn't greet Xu Xiao politely, and started to eat seriously.

But tonight is not just for dinner, after a while Xu Xiao asked: "Boss Lin, what do you think of our hotel?"

coming.

Lin Yiran put down his chopsticks, picked up a tissue and pressed his lips, put down the tissue and said, "Based on what I've seen so far, it's pretty good."

Although she meant a little compliment, the hotel did satisfy her in terms of environment, decoration, and service. Not to mention ten points, but eight or nine points.The only disadvantage may be that it has a long history and some places are old, but this disadvantage can also be said to be an advantage in some aspects, so there is nothing to criticize.

"So how does it compare with the Lin Group?"

Lin Yiran was not angry, and thought carefully about the days when he lived in the Lin Group, "Each has its own advantages."

Xu Xiao chuckled: "Huh? I thought Mr. Lin would say that the Lin Group is better."

"I'm just telling the truth." Lin Yiran glanced at it and continued, "Our hotel of the Lin Group pursues industrial expansion, and pursues more modern and intelligent management and services. But yours here is more inclined to human nature. The personalized service allows guests to experience the feeling of a second home..."

But this kind of store also has its disadvantages, that is, it is not easy to manage, especially when there are too many branches.

Lin Yiran was thirsty when he said it, so he took a sip of the drink and didn't continue talking.

This is also the reason for the cooperation between the two companies to learn from each other's strengths and make up for their weaknesses, and each takes what it needs.

The two had an in-depth discussion on this issue for a long time. In the end, Lin Yiran didn't eat anything, just talked and drank enough water.

When she left, she looked at the almost untouched food, and still said, "Mr. Xu, you can prepare less food next time."

Xu Xiao froze for a moment, realized the meaning of her words, and immediately nodded in response, "Boss Lin, do you have anything to do tomorrow? I want to discuss it with you in detail."

Lin Yiran came here to discuss this trip, of course he would not refuse, so he nodded and said "OK."

After making an appointment for tomorrow's itinerary, Lin Yiran didn't stay any longer, went out and saw the secretary waiting at the door, and then left with him.

Although she didn't look back, she also knew that Xu Xiao's eyes were on her from the beginning to the end.The fiery gaze that seemed to be looking at prey made her feel uncomfortable, and she couldn't help speeding up her pace, and she didn't feel that gaze until she turned the corner.

The secretary noticed her strangeness, looked back and asked in a low voice: "Boss Lin, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Lin Yiran sighed lightly, "You're tired today, go back and rest well, just gather in the lobby tomorrow morning."

"Okay. Call me again if you have anything to ask."

Lin Yiran nodded, just in time to see the elevator open, and walked in first.

Back in his room, Lin Yiran collapsed. He unbuttoned his collar and went into the bathroom.

By the time she comes out of the bath and shampoo, it's almost ten o'clock.

Lin Yiran was flipping through her cell phone while drying her hair.Just now? She? Was discussing things and it was not convenient to look at the phone, so Gu Jianxi didn't reply to the messages.

She glanced at the message that Gu Jianxi sent her, and every word in and out of it was to tell her not to drink, so she couldn't help laughing out loud.

She thought that Gu Jianxi hadn't slept yet, so she dried her hair faster, then put down the hair dryer, leaned against the head of the bed with a pillow in her arms, and clicked "video call."
