As an economically developed province and city, it is natural that while it is home to many industries and business tycoons, it will naturally have a variety of luxurious facilities and business activities.

At this moment, Bai Xingchen parked the car at the door of a hotel, threw the key to the parking boy, and pulled the zipper of his jacket a little impatiently, and there was an urgent sound of brakes behind him.

Just listening to the voice, he didn't have to look back, he guessed who it was, and sure enough, within a few minutes, he heard the footsteps around him eagerly catching up, and when he brushed his side, a cold snort overflowed from his nose, and the footsteps also increased, and in a few seconds, he could only see the back.

Sure enough, it was Xiang Sibo's style, Bai Xingchen was not surprised, he just smiled helplessly, and paced up step by step along the route that Xiang Sibo had just left.

As soon as I got out of the elevator, I saw another colleague Chen Xing standing at the door looking left and right, and when I saw his figure, my eyes lit up, and I ran over with small steps.

"Brother Chen, are you finally here?"

Bai Xingchen responded lightly and asked casually:

"Who are you here today?"

"Two for the TV station and one for the newspaper. ”

The newspaper, and it is still a person, plus this kind of occasion, should it be ...... Bai Xingchen had a faint premonition, and the steps under his feet involuntarily became faster.

The content that the newspaper is responsible for this time, in addition to some interviews with Gao Yecheng, is mainly an endorsement of Gao's Group's new business, so it means that Ji Ran will go to a relatively remote suburb to collect materials on the spot in the next few days.

It is precisely because of this that tonight, Gao Yecheng arranged a so-called reward dinner.

As soon as I sat down and chatted casually, the door suddenly opened. When Xiang Sibo walked in from outside the door, Ji Ran's heart thumped a few times, her heart was beating like a drum, her fingers stiffly grabbed the cup in front of her and took a quick sip of water, only to ease up a little.

I really didn't expect to meet him in this situation, originally after Liang Qiong confessed everything, she thought about it and believed that Xiang Sibo was also working under Gao Yecheng, but when she learned the truth, she no longer insisted on holding Xiang Sibo to ask Ji Kaiyu for news.

But if you meet him here today, you must try to pry something out of his mouth later.

Ji Ran thought silently, and the action of drinking water became more frequent, Yang Ting seemed to notice her unnaturalness, and asked a little deliberately:

"Ji Ran, are you thirsty?"

The sound was not loud, but it happened to be the volume that everyone in the room could hear, and for a while, everyone cast their eyes to star, and even Gao Yecheng, who was discussing something with Xiang Sibo in a low voice, turned his head.

Although Ji Ran made some disguises when she met Xiang Sibo in a hurry last time, and she wore glasses today, the probability of being recognized is not high, but for the sake of safety, she still quickly grabbed the hair behind her ears and let it hang down on her cheeks, blocking some outlines.

Then she turned her head and coughed twice, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile:

"Maybe it's been too dry lately, and my throat isn't very comfortable. ”

"Oh, it's been like this lately. ”

Gao Yecheng naturally answered, beckoned the waiter to bring a new pot of tea, and patted Xiang Sibo on the right shoulder.

"This is one of my assistants, Xiang Sibo, and he will cooperate with everyone's work in some of the interview locations in the future. In addition to him, there are ......."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard the doorknob of the box be unscrewed again.

The sound of the door ringing attracted the attention of many people, and Ji Ran also looked at the place where everyone's eyes were focused.

The moment he saw Bai Xingchen, Ji Ran was stunned.

If Xiang Sibo's appearance here was expected, then Bai Xingchen's presence here was greatly unexpected to her. She thought that Bai Xingchen and Gao's company had a great relationship, but she didn't think that the relationship between the two people was closer than she imagined.

Bai Xingchen hurriedly glanced at her, as if he didn't know her at all, Ji Ran glanced at it, and simply looked away. After all, her thoughts are very complicated now, and the relationship between the person who has saved her more than once is a subordinate and a boss with the acquaintance she is investigating is really a dramatic development.

Bai Xingchen nodded at Gao Yecheng and sat down on his left. Gao Yecheng smiled and continued:

"I really said that Cao Cao Cao is here, this is my other right-hand man, Bai Xingchen, he will cooperate with everyone in the past few days. ”

The corners of Bai Xingchen's mouth hooked up a very faint smile, and he nodded lightly in a calm manner.

After Gao Yecheng finished introducing, he raised his glass, and the people at the table raised their glasses one after another with excellent eyes, and Gao Yecheng said with a smile:

"It's going to be a few days, and it's really going to be hard for everyone. ”

"Where, where. ”

It was Yang Ting who spoke, and she toasted a glass of wine familiarly, praising the development of the Gao Group and Gao Yecheng's bearing, and coaxing the other party's face with a stronger smile.

Ji Ran pricked up her ears and listened carefully to their conversation, her eyes seemed to fall on the faces of the two of them unintentionally, but once she looked carefully, she knew that she was observing Gao Yecheng most of the time.

When he moved from someone else's face again, he didn't think that Gao Yecheng met her gaze directly, Ji Ran was stunned, thinking that there would be a ghost when he looked away, so he simply stood up with a smile and toasted a glass of wine.

"Mr. Gao, I would like to give you a glass. ”

"Don't be so polite. Gao Yecheng still had the usual kind smile on his face, and the conversation suddenly changed.

"Speaking of which, this cup should be my salute to Miss Ji. ”

The person at the table quietly continued to hold the chopsticks and wine glasses in his hands, but his eyes turned to this side intentionally or unintentionally.

Ji Ran's heart tightened, she didn't seem to have any special moves, she wanted to attract Gao Yecheng's attention, but this feeling that she hadn't taken action yet, but inexplicably attracted the attention of the other party, made her suddenly a little flustered.

Could it be ......? Between the lightning and flint, Ji Ran suddenly had a conjecture.

"I heard that there was a bit of a misunderstanding between the puppy and Miss Ji before, and I also knew that my uncompetitive son was spoiled on weekdays, so he would be a little willful, if he accidentally offended Miss Ji, I hope you will see my face and bear with me. ”

The words were spoken appropriately and carefully, and when others heard them, they were completely like a kind father who was worried about his children. Gao Yecheng also pinched this point, and deliberately put some pressure on Ji Ran in front of others, so that she would not be too entangled in Gao Jiaze's affairs, and at the same time give others a wake-up call.

Who would not know what he meant, and for a moment his heart was clear, and his eyes turned to Ji Ran, waiting for her reply.

Just as she thought, Gao Yecheng noticed that she was because of the grievances with Gao Jiaze before.

Ji Ran squeezed the cup with some force, she naturally didn't plan to let go of Gao Jiaze, such a scourge, naturally one day she had to clean it up, but now it's better to bear with it.

Thinking that she showed a flattered look, there was some panic in her tone:

"Where is Mr. Gao, nothing happened between me and Mr. Gao, it's all a misunderstanding, and it has already been explained. ”

Seeing that the other party's reply gave him the result he wanted, Gao Yecheng secretly praised Ji Ran's upper path in his heart, and said with a smile:

"Now that the explanation is clear, that's good, and I will also discipline the unsuccessful son well in the future. ”

Where no one paid attention, Yang Ting pouted quietly, Gao Jiaze's kid was notorious, and the people he hated ended up miserable, so he just endured it, no matter how she looked at it, it didn't look like what Ji Ran would do.

At the same time, there is some schadenfreude, she has always looked down on those who have always refused to bow down to anything for the ideals in her heart, in her opinion, they are high and stubborn, Ji Ran originally belonged to this list. Now watching her also learn to bow to the power, I have a different feeling in my heart.

Gao Yecheng snapped his fingers after speaking, and in an instant, several women in work clothes and with their hair coiled rushed in, each carrying a white bag in their hands, holding out a square and neat appearance, and silently stood behind several people.

"It should be regarded as my reparation, and it should also be regarded as everyone's hard work in the past few days. Here are some of the company's special products, I hope you have a good experience, of course, if you want to boast, I am still happy. ”

As soon as the words fell, the person standing behind him skillfully placed the bag in his hand in front of Ji Ran and the others. Looking at the bag in front of him, which didn't seem to weigh much, Ji Ran's heart sank.

The people present naturally knew that it couldn't be a simple product that Gao Yecheng said, after all, he had been in the circle for so many years, and even if he hadn't encountered the unspoken rules and extra money, he had heard a lot.

For a moment, there were complicated expressions on everyone's faces.

"It's just a little careful, if you don't accept it, then you will look down on me. ”

The sense of oppression revealed at the end of the words made the expressions on everyone's faces stiffen, and they quietly watched the movements of other peers, waiting for someone to start and take away the hot things.

After being silent for a few seconds, I saw Ji Ran holding the corner of the bag in his hand, and spoke in a calm tone:

"Then thank you Mr. Gao. ”

Her demeanor was normal, her tone was relaxed, and if she didn't look closely and ignore the whitening knuckles that were clutching the corner of the bag, she would have thought that she had experienced such a thing countless times.

Bai Xingchen naturally noticed, after all, from the beginning to the present, although he did not say a word, his attention was on the people in the room at any time, especially Ji Ran.

Looking at her movements, as well as the pretended relaxed expression on her face, Bai Xingchen lowered his eyes, staring intently at the corner of the dining table that was magnified countless times reflected in the liquid in the cup in front of him, and the hand hidden under the table quietly clenched his pants.

When it was time for the end of the show, Gao Yecheng ordered his men to send them back. Ji Ran deliberately sat in the back seat of Xiang Sibo, and made up his mind that he must set up a set of information on the road.

It's just that as soon as her mind turned, someone knocked on the window next to Xiang Sibo, and after the window was rolled down, someone whispered a few words in Xiang Sibo's ear, and he quickly got out of the car.

Ji Ran rolled down the window and watched Xiang Sibo follow an unfamiliar back in another direction, and in confusion, someone opened the driver's door and sat up.
