"Mr. Gao, the response to this cooperation with TV stations and newspapers is very good. ”

As the assistant spoke, he put the sorted data and articles on Gao Yecheng's desk.

And what I didn't expect was that the promotion and publicity done by the newspaper this time seemed to be even better than that of the TV station. ”

"Really?" Gao Yecheng raised his eyebrows, looked up from the stack of documents, and took the report that the assistant put down.

"The one who came from the newspaper last time was called ......"

"Ji Ran. ”

"Yes, Ji Ran, it seems that a lot of effort has been put in. At the beginning, I thought that if I had a grudge with Jiaze, I would have a grudge against me, but now it seems that he is quite smart. ”

The assistant smiled in agreement, and heard Gao Yecheng continue:

"Since the other party's intention to show favor is so obvious, let's invite her to this celebration. ”

"Yes. ”

The assistant made a note and cautiously retreated.

***

Gao's group's celebration party, naturally pomp and circumstance can not be pulled down.

When Ji Ran walked in in a long skirt, he casually took the wine in the waiter's hand, and looked for Gao Yecheng's figure while walking.

On this kind of occasion, the protagonist is often very busy, but there is no way, who let Ji Ran come today, almost for the protagonist.

But she didn't think too much, she said a few words, brushed her face, and deepened Gao Yecheng's impression of her, which is all the purpose of today.

After all, in this kind of occasion that requires exquisite eight-facedness, there is a small character who has been circling around him, and it is annoying to think about it.

She went around a few times, but finally came around to Gao Yecheng. Obviously, her previous painstaking efforts to write a good manuscript succeeded in leaving a good impression on Gao Yecheng. As soon as she approached, Gao Yecheng greeted her familiarly.

"Miss Ji. ”

The soft clatter of the glass was accompanied by laughter, and everyone around him laughed in unison.

"The last report was really well written, but it helped me a lot. ”

"Whatever Mr. Gao says, it should be. ”

Gao Yecheng is very useful in saying this, no matter what position he sits, he will always be able to use a skill, and Gao Yecheng's smile is also a little deeper.

"It's fun, I'm too busy today, I'll have a good chat with you another day. ”

Ji Ran understood the meaning of the words in an instant, and after greeting him, he politely said a few words and retreated to the corner.

As soon as she found a sofa to sit down, Bai Xingchen paced in front of her. Ji Ran looked up at him in a jacket and jeans and outfits here, and sighed.

Bai Xingchen sat beside her, and Ji Ran moved to the side.

"What?"

"I thought you wouldn't come. ”

"I didn't do anything bad, why can't I come. ”

Ji Ranzui replied quickly, she didn't notice that she was polite and gentle in front of others, and she didn't bother to put on that layer of disguise when she arrived in front of Bai Xingchen.

Bai Xingchen was about to talk, and suddenly a little person rushed over from which corner, and the puffy skirt made a beautiful arc in the air with the running posture, and ran straight towards Bai Xingchen.

He grabbed it with his long hand, causing the running figure to rest on his arm.

"Uncle Xingchen. ”

This milky voice made Ji Ran look at it with interest, and a little girl about five or six years old, holding a bear in one hand, and Bai Xingchen's arm in the other, smiled sweetly at him.

It's just that smile, no matter how you look at it, there is a sense of familiarity.

"Mr. Gao's youngest daughter. ”

Bai Xingchen deliberately explained to Ji Ran, who originally thought that the little doll was pink and cute, and when Ji Ran heard this sudden revelation of his identity, the love in his heart faded by half, and he simply turned his eyes.

The little girl who was mentioned seemed to be dissatisfied with herself and pounced, but Bai Xingchen's attention was on Ji Ran, the strength of holding Bai Xingchen in her arm increased, and the eyes that looked at Ji Ran were more hostile when the child was robbed of a toy.

"Who are you?"

was rude, Ji Ran complained in his heart, and he didn't bother to answer her, so he patted Bai Xingchen's shoulder:

"The little princess is handed over to you, I'm going to slip away first. ”

Even if it was a five-year-old child, Gao Xinya could hear that Ji Ran's words were completely aimed at her, and at that moment, she grabbed the little bear's hand and threw the little bear on Ji Ran:

"You are not allowed to speak of me. ”

Sure enough, it only looked good for three seconds, Ji Ran bent down and picked up the plush bear that fell at his feet, and walked towards the initiator with a smile.

She didn't like to deal with children, and this kind of bear child who lost his temper and threw things casually didn't like it even more, so he approached the other party with a gentle face, stuffed the stuffed bear into her hand, and said softly:

"I'm sorry, I'm just talking about some obnoxious kid, you say it's you, that's you. ”

After speaking, he touched her head and rubbed the good-looking curls a little, and then quickly slipped away satisfied.

"Uncle Xingchen, she bullied me!"

Gao Xinya, who couldn't catch up with Ji Ran, could only hold back and complain to Bai Xingchen angrily.

"Uncle doesn't know her, so there's nothing he can do. ”

"You're a liar!"

Seeing that the little princess was about to go crazy again, Bai Xingchen gave the nanny standing aside a look, and the other party took a step forward and hugged Gao Xinya tremblingly, and while comforting her who was struggling, he said to Bai Xingchen apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Bai, it's Miss who is making trouble today, so I must come over. ”

"What's the ...... Obviously you said it was fun. ”

Gao Xinya's words Bai Xingchen couldn't hear it anymore, because when the nanny had hugged Gao Xinya, he saw the right time to slip away, leaving only the nanny standing there to comfort the little princess in her arms helplessly, and led her to a quiet corner.

***

For the hotel that holds the banquet, Ji Ran has been curious for a long time. As soon as I slipped away, I ran out to study the terrain here.

She had almost finished shopping, and after she had expanded her memory storeroom to her heart's content, she counted the time and walked down the same path to the hall.

Gao's Group chartered an entire floor as a celebration venue this time, in order to ensure visual beauty, many small rooms in the corners were used as temporary storage rooms, Ji Ran walked slowly towards the hall, but found that a deliberately suppressed discussion came from a small room passing by.

This seems to be a very ordinary scene, Ji Ran didn't pay much attention to it, and when she kept her original speed and walked forward, her steps slowed down, because she had excellent ear power, and she seemed to vaguely hear the name "Gao Yecheng" in the discussion between the two people.

This realization made Ji Ran instantly alert, and she lightly pressed her eyes against the crack in the door, trying to see the situation inside.

***

"Da Chen, do you really want to do this?"

The man known as Da Chen had a haggard face, a blue stubble on his chin, a slight hunched back, and dark skin, looking like a worker who had been exposed to a lot of wind and sun, but now he was wearing the clothes of a hotel waiter.

Hearing the woman's question, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he quickly calmed down, and said viciously:

"Since he is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. ”

The woman's tone was still very disturbed:

"Da Chen, otherwise, before it starts, stop it, what is the matter can be solved by communicating well. ”

"Solve it?"

The man shook off the woman's hand, and suddenly became angry, and the deep anger in his low voice could not be suppressed at all:

"Do you see that he Gao Yecheng wants to solve it? After delaying it for so long, he refused to give money, and he didn't even give a happy word, you didn't see what Lao Wu was cleaned up like last time, and he thought we were easy to bully, so I asked him to see what would happen when people were anxious. ”

After speaking, he pushed the woman, and his mouth was still scolding:

"You've locked up her daughter, is the nanny locked up? ”

"Both...... It's all done, and in that little storage room around the corner, the nanny ...... Babysitter I dragged her somewhere else and locked her up. ”

What's going on?

Ji Ran retracted his head, leaned against the wall and walked towards the shadows, sorting out his thoughts.

It seems that he is Gao Yecheng's enemy again, and he has some economic disputes, and he is planning to kidnap Gao Xinya to coerce the other party. To be honest, even if Ji Ran and Gao Yecheng are in a hostile relationship now, they don't like Gao Xinya very much, but they subconsciously feel that children are still innocent, and the grievances of adults are attributed to children, which will not be a good practice.

Should it be bothered?

She struggled for a few minutes, heard footsteps inside and seemed to be going out, gritted her teeth, and walked briskly towards the place where she had just heard the other person say.

"Squeak-"

When the door opened, Ji Ran had just stretched half his head in, and saw Gao Xinya looking at her with a scared face, her mouth was stuffed with cloth, her hands and feet were tied, and she couldn't move, and when she saw her come in, she had a crying expression.

"Don't howl!"

Seeing that the other party was about to collapse and cry in the next second, Ji Ran raised a finger in front of his lips and signaled her to be quiet:

"I'll take you to Daddy. ”

Ji Ran helped her untie the rope on her ankle a few times, saw that she could stand up, and hurriedly carried her out, racing for more seconds, doing one more thing, it would be more dangerous.

But she was still a little slower.

When he walked to the door, the door that had just been half-covered was suddenly opened vigorously, and the person known as Da Chen just now was shocked when he saw Ji Ran suddenly appear, and it didn't take long for the shock to be slowly replaced by the ruthlessness in his eyes.

"Who are you, what's the matter?"

Ji Ran put Gao Xinya down, pulled him behind him, and looked directly at Da Chen:

"Oh, it's just that Xinya is gone, I'll look for it, I'm her friend. ”

"Who is it, girl, look at her now" He pointed to Gao Xinya's tied arm: "Look at the panic that can't be covered by the cover on your face now, do you think I will believe it?"

He probably guessed that something had already been heard, and the ruthlessness on his face deepened.

"Why do you have to find things on your own?"
