Chapter 18: Meeting
* Ning Ran has been helping Kaline hire a lawyer in the past two days, while coping with the cover of the next issue, watching Tian Jiali take pictures several times, and putting eye drops on the computer cover.
Wu Jun knocked on the door, paying attention to her expression, a little apprehensive in his heart, and asked, "Ning Bian, do you want to go back and reshoot?"
"How can this kind of picture be used as a cover? The retouching traces are too heavy, and the whole style has changed. Ning Ran had a cold face.
Wu Jun hesitated and opened his mouth: "They said that they had already taken three shots, but the photographer was unwilling, saying that it was already the best." ”
Ning Ran listened, turned the computer back on, and said, "The third one, let's change it later." ”
Wu Jun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I'll arrange it." ”
Ning Ran took off his shoulders, and even shooting the interior scene was so difficult, if it wasn't for this piece of material, he was not afraid of being embarrassed.
"Lawyer Xiao," Ning Ran answered the phone, changing his amiable attitude, if Wan Jia was there, he would have to say that she was pretending.
"Miss Ning, we are ready to issue a statement here, and the client said to discuss it with you. ”
"It's good that you decide, you are professional and trustworthy. ”
The other side responded, saying: "There is no turning back from the bow, this decision is still a bit reckless, after all, the other party is the largest brokerage company in the domestic industry, with a professional public relations team, and it is not difficult to terminate the contract, I am afraid that they will fight back." ”
Ning Ran weighed it and asked him, "Did you tell her?"
"Yes," sighed, "the client insisted. ”
"Lawyer Xiao, if your predicted situation arises, let her bear it herself. "Ning Ran resolutely.
"I still have to have evidence in my hand, and at present, there is only a screenshot of the agency asking her to apologize, which is not convincing enough. Xiao Ting paused and continued, "If there is surveillance that night..."
What Xiao Ting said was the evidence that in the box of Qin Zheng's restaurant, Mr. Xia made the first move that night, but they had no right to ask Qin Zheng to transfer it out.
"She'll figure it out herself. Ning Ran still said that, Kaline is not a child, if she wants to fight for her own face, she has to give up some of her arrogance, and she knows that Qin Zheng will not embarrass her too much.
They said, "Understood." ”
The office was quiet, it was four o'clock in the afternoon, Wan Jia hadn't heard a message since he left the night before, and Ning Ran was busy and didn't get distracted.
Ning Ran glanced at her phone, there were all kinds of non-nutritious pushes in the information column, handling package business, the work was over, she was idle again, deleted the information one by one, held down the phone, stayed for dozens of seconds, and put it down.
"Wu Jun, has the notice arrived?" Ning Ran called the assistant in.
"It's arranged," Wu Jun handed her a document and said, "You can sign this." ”
Ning Ran swept his eyes, signed his name, and said, "The manuscript will be handed over by a group, I will leave first now, contact me if there is any situation." ”
"Good. ”
Ning Ran drove the car and went to the suburbs uncontrollably, the red brick wall was dyed with the colors of the sunset, the rusty gate was hidden, Ning Ran pushed it down, and an iron sheet fell, she patted her arm, there was a motorcycle parked in the yard, except for the clothesline that swayed with the wind, there were no clothes, everything was the same as the first time she came, Ning Ran calculated, it was only half a month.
The door of the room was only locked and locked, and the computer was placed on the workbench at random, Ning Ran snorted and whispered: "I really believe in law and order." ”
After walking around and confirming that he hadn't come back yet, a thin layer of dust had accumulated on the table, Ning Ran sat on his bed, his heart was beating fast, and the room was still filled with dialing sounds.
She didn't understand where this inexplicable nervousness was coming from, and she wasn't sure if the other side would answer her call.
"Hey," a low voice came over, wheezing heavily.
Ning Ran didn't make a sound, the breathing over there was so rapid that it was abnormal, what was he doing?
"Ning Ran?"
Wan Jia was doing a group of training in the hotel, and it was a little strange to see her call, but she was silent.
"What are you doing?" Ning Ran said in a calm tone, as if the person who started to be impatient just now was not her.
"Sit-ups, what's wrong?"
"I want to ask when you'll be back?" Ning Ran slowed his breath when he heard his answer.
There was a low chuckle over there, "Miss me?"
Ning Ran tried his best to stabilize his tone and said, "I want to do it." ”
"Okay, then you come to me. "Wan Jia deliberately embarrassed her.
"Good. ”
"What did you say?"
"I said okay, address. ”
Wan Jia plucked his ears and asked again, "Are you really here?"
"Hmm. ”
Ning Ran didn't know that all kinds of things had pressed her in the past few days, making her breathless, but at this time, she wanted to nest in that person's arms and listen to his fluctuating heartbeat.
The light faded slightly, Wan Jia was full of evil fire, he held his breath for the past two days, didn't care about the hard-mouthed woman, only made a phone call to Qin Zheng, listened to him talk about the model's recent affairs, and guessed Ning Ran's busyness.
"Don't make Lao Tzu angry, and play with me in the end. ”
"What will happen then?" Ning Ran got into the car, and she waited for Wanjia to send the address.
"There's always a way to cure you. ”
"I'll wait and see. Ning Ran looked at the information and called in the navigation, blocking the low hoarse sound that made her heart beat from there.
Ning Ran took the highway, this place is not far away, it is not close, it is a province, it is right next to the direction of the suburban house in Wanjia, and it takes about three hours to drive.
It wasn't until she got on the road that Ning Ran didn't know how impulsive she was, she didn't bring anything, and ran to that little-known town, or to spend the night with that man.
On the way, Kaline contacted her, "Where is Sister Ning?" ”
"What are you excited about?"
"I handed the lawyer's letter to the broken company, and I was happy. ”
"How much is the liquidated damages?"
"There's still a lot left, leave that alone," Kaline was optimistic, "and as soon as the statement was issued, I was approached by a company to sign a contract." ”
"Don't be too happy," Ning Ran poured cold water on her, "That company is put on a mess by you, and you won't let go easily." ”
"Sister Ning, don't spoil the fun, I'm almost at your house, drink two drinks with me. Kaline spun the wheel.
"Not at home. ”
"Where is that?" Kaline was stunned when she heard her words, Ning Ran hadn't gone out at night for a long time, and even if she went out, there was no reason not to take her.
"On the way to find a man. Ning Ran anticipated her reaction and hung up the phone in time.
There are no cars along the way, occasionally one or two cars pass away after a while and then separate, it is not quiet, many places are different after crossing the provincial border, the style of road signs and the fruits sold, it is not too late, Ning Ran glanced at his mobile phone, more than nine o'clock.
She got off the highway, stopped in front of a fruit stall, only had more than 100 cash in her bag, bought a bottle of water and a loaf of bread, and picked a few plump peaches.
The things in the small shop were dry and hard, there was no taste to speak of, and the sandwich in it was not delicious, Ning Ran only ate a few bites at random, closed the car door and smoked a cigarette.
There are still 20 kilometers, if it is an urban area, it only takes 40 minutes to drive, but looking at the road conditions, it will take at least an hour to get there, the impulse in Ning Ran's heart has been replaced by suspicion, will Wan Jia think she is joking, people have already gone to bed early, or something else?
The more remote it became, there was only a street lamp far away from the road, the light was weak, and occasionally rats would come out, and they would flee in a hurry when they were illuminated by the car lights.
Ning Ran filled up the gas before getting on the highway, and now half of it has been used, she looked at the gradually dilapidated buildings, and thought to herself, why is Wan Jia here? If it was a small scenic spot that she had just passed by, how could it be such a rotten land that looked like a demolition area.
People in small places go to bed early, there are no more lights on the street, Ning Ran saw Wan Jia almost at a glance, he squatted in front of a hotel that belonged to one of those few lights, there was a pillar to prevent the vehicle from losing control and suffering for no reason, and the whole person stood on it.
The hotel still has a neon tube that has been outdated for many years, and it hangs on a piece of cardboard with childish scribbled fonts, and the single room is 60/the double bed is 80.
Ning Ran walked towards that person, he was still the same hair, his fingers were between his fingers and the smoke of sparks, he looked down at the ground, and when he heard the horn, he only looked up, jumped down, and shook his legs, which was different from what Ning Ran imagined.
He was calm as if he had expected it a long time ago, maybe it could be said that he was not as eager for her arrival as he said, and when Ning Ran walked to his side, he only spit out two words, "Very fast." ”
There was no movement, so he turned around and walked away with her, and the hotel proprietress was drowsy, and when she saw the unfamiliar face, she bounced down, and said with a hearty smile: "Wait for it? ”
Ning Ran glanced at Wan Jia suspiciously, but he didn't answer, as if the boss lady was not talking about him.
There is no elevator in this hotel, there are a lot of stains on the wall, and there are some wall skins in the corners, Wan Jia lives on the third floor, and the stairs are not steep, Ning Ran looked at the back of Wan Jia walking forward by himself, and suddenly laughed in his heart, and didn't understand what he was doing all the time.
Wan Jia heard her footsteps stop a few steps away, looked back, and said, "Temper tantrum?"
"I'd better go. Ning Ran's inexplicable emotions dominated her.
Wan Jia looked around, and there were only the two of them in the entire public space, and the conversation of the proprietress of the ten o'clock soap opera could be faintly heard.
Wan Jia carried the person on his shoulders and walked up, patted the curves she was wrapping, and said fiercely: "Do you still want to leave when you come?" Lao Tzu waited for so long, his legs were numb. ”
Ning Ran didn't struggle well, afraid that he would not hold his hand steadily, so he could only warn him in a low voice: "You are forced." ”
"That's what you sent yourself. Wan Jia took out the key, jingled the bell, and inserted it into the lock hole for a turn.
Wan Jia threw her on the bed roughly, kicked the door shut, Ning Ran was wearing a chiffon shirt and a hip-wrapping skirt, which was not enough for Wan Jia to take three or two times.
Wan Jia's knees pressed against her calves, groped upward, and laughed: "Wear this?"
Ning Ran couldn't break free, the whole person simply didn't move, and all the anger was spilled out, "That's not for you to see." ”
"Really?"
As soon as her waist and crotch went in and out, Wan Jia straightened her face and started the first kiss of the night, first the sweetness of her lipstick and then the residual peach fragrance in her teeth, and said, "What did you steal?"
Ning Ran bit his lip and said, "There are two more nectarines bought on the road." ”
"Where?" said Wan Jia quickened.
"In the car. Ning Ran suppressed.
Wan Jia approached her ear, held her palm down, and said, "I'm on you." ”
