Early in the morning, Ye Yanran took Ji Yufan's car to the company as usual, she got off the car on the path next to the building, walked 200 meters into the company building, and Ji Yufan turned a small turn from there into the parking lot of the building, and then took the elevator from the B2 floor to the seventeenth floor to work.

But today, she just walked less than 50 meters, and before she could get out of the path, she was stopped by someone.

"Yanran, let's talk. Xie Minglang simply and directly turned around and walked across the road, as if he was sure that Ye Yanran would definitely follow.

From the moment Auchan said that he would send a lawyer's letter to Sunny Studio, Ye Yanran knew that there would be a day when she would confront Xie Minglang face to face, but she just didn't expect Xie Minglang to appear in front of her so high-profile and confident, as if she was the one who plagiarized the work.

Ye Yanran hesitated, but still followed Xie Minglang into the café across the street.

Xie Minglang pushed a cup of coffee in front of her, "I call it casually, anyway, you don't pay attention to this." ”

Ye Yanran smiled lightly, it is true that all drinks only have two effects in her opinion, one is to quench thirst and the other is to refresh herself, and deliciousness is never in the scope of her consideration. However, the contempt and impatience in Xie Minglang's tone still made her a little uncomfortable.

"Master, is there anything you are looking for me this time?" That's right, she was asking knowingly, anyway, this time their master and apprentice were going to tear their faces, so there was no need to hide it.

Xie Minglang threw an envelope on the table and sneered: "Do you still know that I am your master?

Ye Yanran opened the envelope, and inside was a summons from the court, which she didn't expect. She thought that Auchan was also a lawyer Xinwei to take a photo, but she didn't expect that the company's legal department sued Minglang Studio and He Miao in court in the name of Shang Cheng and Ye Yanran. The action is fast, and it can also be said to be a thunder method.

Looking at the postmark again, it seems that Xie Minglang couldn't help but look for it as soon as he received the summons. He would be so uncool, but it was beyond her expectations.

She slowly put down the summons and said lightly: "This is the company's decision, and I, as an employee and party of Shangcheng, can only respect and obey the company's arrangement." ”

"Ye Yanran, you don't have this kind of official tone with me, if you still treat me as your master, hurry up and go to the court to withdraw the lawsuit. ”

"Why? Aren't these facts?"

Ye Yanran has seen all kinds of ugliness of human nature over the years, and she has encountered a lot of scum and strange things, but at this moment, facing Xie Minglang's ugly face, she still can't help but feel sad in her heart.

At this time, Ye Yanran's tone hardened, but Xie Minglang's tone softened, "Yanran, anyway, that design is also something you give up and don't use, why do you want to be so serious? No matter what she says, she can be regarded as a closed disciple of the master, you are a senior sister, what's wrong with letting her live? Finally, I asked her to come and apologize to you in person, and we will turn the page on this matter. ”

Ye Yanran couldn't help but sneer, what is the difference between apologizing privately and not apologizing, no one knows, and then they can continue to use their designs to deceive. This wishful thinking is really loud enough.

"No matter how young she is, she is also in her twenties, and she is fully capable of taking responsibility for her actions. Besides, master, you have seen my design, she is ignorant and stolen it, why didn't the master stop it? Not only did he not stop the construction according to the drawings, but he also took it on the cover of the magazine in a big way to make a name for the studio. Excuse me, master, aren't you sensible?"

Xie Minglang listened to Ye Yanran's tone, knowing that this matter was not discussed, and if it continued like this, it would only become more and more ugly, so he stood up angrily, "Ye Yanran, when the master advises you, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, and leave a little room for each other, it's really urgent, everyone is ugly." ”

Ye Yanran sneered: "Plagiarism doesn't think it's ugly, I'm afraid of being plagiarized!"

Xie Minglang glared at Ye Yanran fiercely, he still understood the problem of his apprentice not letting his words fall to the ground, as long as Ye Yanran entered the battle state, that mouth would definitely not be forgiving. Usually she doesn't say it, it's too lazy to care, but as long as she cares about it, she won't be finished if she doesn't have the upper hand.

He continued to speak, but he was afraid that the words behind would only become more and more ugly, Xie Minglang snorted angrily from his nose, picked up the summons on the table and turned around and left.

Ye Yanran's voice came coldly from behind her, "Master, I will advise you one last time, it is better to apologize as soon as possible according to Mr. Ou's requirements, and issue a statement if you should make a statement! This time Mr. Ou is always here for real, and he will definitely defend his rights to the end, but you must not take the reputation accumulated in the industry for so many years for the sake of momentary anger." ”

Actually, she said that these are also good intentions, judging from Auchan's various actions now, he is going to kill Xie Minglang this time, Xie Minglang is now the sooner he admits it, the better, and if he drags it down, Minglang's studio will really be over.

But Xie Minglang didn't think so, he thought that Ye Yanran was showing off his might in front of him.

He turned around and said sharply: "Ye Yanran, you have forgotten even the most basic respect for teachers, let's see!"

Ye Yanran took a sip of coffee, it was so bitter! How could a person even reverse the basic shame, right and wrong, black and white in order to succeed? However, since the last time she went to Jinglang's studio and saw Xie Minglang's attitude towards her who avoided her, she had lost much hope for her as a master. It's just that seeing him so shameless, I can't help but sigh a little in my heart.

She frowned and took another sip of bitter coffee.

"Drink this!" A cup of hot cocoa was placed in front of her, and at the same time, Ji Yufan came out of nowhere and sat opposite her. "You ate too little this morning, coffee hurts your stomach. He simply took the coffee in front of her away.

"Why did you come along?"

"I just saw him coming to you in the car, don't worry, come and have a look. Don't be upset, you're not wrong. ”

Ye Yanran stirred the cocoa milk in her hand with a spoon and sighed, if she didn't want to pursue it according to her thoughts, anyway, since Cheng Xin and Fang Yi started using her computer, she expected that this drawing would be used fraudulently, and she gave up the original design in time. It's just that I didn't expect that the person who embezzled it was Xie Minglang.

But now Auchan has escalated this issue to a confrontation between Shang Cheng and Sunny Studio, and the situation is not within her control at all. She can only follow Auchan's deployment.

Ji Yufan didn't know what she was thinking, all he could think about was to help her. He leaned forward and whispered, "I just recorded your conversation, don't worry, if he wants to play tricks, we have a way to deal with him." ”

Ye Yanran didn't expect him to do this, but he didn't protect himself for a day or two, she nodded, and after asking Ji Yufan to pass the recording to herself, she told him not to meddle in this hand again, just leave it to the company to deal with. This was not simply a matter between her and Xie Minglang, she didn't need to stand in the front row.

After Ji Yufan finished listening to her, he looked at her with burning eyes, "Besides this, don't you have anything else to tell me?"

Since this morning, he has been waiting for Ye Yanran to tell him about dating Shao Jie, but she has not mentioned it.

Ji Yufan wasn't sure if she didn't take Shao Jie seriously and didn't say it, or didn't take him seriously and felt that the two had broken up now, he had no right to care about her, she could date anyone casually.

Ye Yanran didn't know what he was thinking at all, and thought that the few projects in his hand were going well for the time being, and there was nothing that needed to be specifically mentioned, so he shook his head slightly, took a big sip of the cocoa milk in the cup, and got up and said, "Let's go!

Ji Yufan looked at her vaguely, and didn't say anything after all.

Back in the office, after careful consideration, Ye Yanran felt that she should still report the matter of Xie Minglang's coming over to Auchan, Xie Minglang blocked her at the door of the company in such a high-profile manner this morning, and if she could be seen by Ji Yufan, it was difficult to guarantee that she would not be seen by other colleagues, rather than waiting for Auchan to receive the news and turn to find herself, it was better for her to take the initiative.

And who guarantees that Xie Minglang's purpose in looking for her this time is not to create a gap between her and Auchan.

Thinking of this, Ye Yanran got up and went to find Auchan.

Outside the president's office on the nineteenth floor, Serena stared at Ye Yanran with a frosty face. After working for so many years, she has never seen such an annoying colleague as Ye Yanran. Every time I came, people didn't know how to scream, so they drilled into the president's office with arrogance. Obviously she's just a little designer, and I don't know what she is proud of.

Although the position of secretary to the president is not very high, it is a very delicate role in various companies, because they are the people around the president, and some are even the people next to the pillow, so even if they are company executives, they are quite polite when they see these secretaries, and other middle-level managers are even more respectful to them. Afternoon tea, small gifts and other flattering tricks are endless.

Serena has been working beside Auchan for five years, and she is used to seeing these sycophants, and she has long taken it for granted, but she met a Ye Yanran, who didn't buy her account at all, and worked with her everywhere, but she couldn't do anything about her. It always makes her seem to have a breath stuck somewhere, and it is uncomfortable to go up and down.

Ye Yanran didn't know that she had offended a key person like this, the reason why she wasn't called Serena was very simple, she didn't know what her name was at all, and she didn't care. In the past, Xie Minglang was above her, and she didn't need to worry about the situation on the nineteenth floor at all, not to mention that her attitude towards work has always been simple, speaking with strength, she focuses on design as a designer, and speaks with her own works, she really rarely cares about other people and things, and she doesn't care at all.

Like facing Serena's cold face today, she just said businesslikely: "I have something to report to Mr. Ou, please let me know." ”

She felt that she was completely fine with what she said, didn't the sentence "trouble you" already express the politeness?

But Serena didn't think so at all, she felt that Ye Yanran's approach simply didn't take her seriously, why do you say that you can pass it on, and I'm not your mouthpiece.

Her face was a little colder, and she deliberately lowered her eyelids to be busy with the matter at hand, and exposed Ye Yanran to where she was.

Ye Yanran stood there and waited for a while, seeing that Serena didn't pay attention to herself at all, she took a step forward and knocked on her table, repeating what she had just said word by word.

Serena still didn't seem to hear it, and went about herself.

Ye Yanran never gave face to the arrogance and rudeness of the secretary on the nineteenth floor, she glanced at Serena and walked towards Auchan's office.

Serena hurriedly got up and held the doorknob with her hand, blocking Ye Yanran from the door, "Mr. Ou is having a video conference, and I don't see anyone." ”

"When does the meeting end?"

Serena said arrogantly, "How do I know?"

Ye Yanran looked at her, unwilling to care about it anymore, "Okay! I'll come back later." ”

Serena snorted coldly and returned to her seat.

An hour later, Ye Yanran came to the door of the president's office again.

Serena glanced at her lightly and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ou still has a meeting." ”

Midday.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ou is meeting customers. It's important, don't bother. ”

Ye Yanran raised her hand and looked at her watch, twelve o'clock.

Serena looked down at her bright red nails and said nonchalantly, "lunch/meeting." ”

Ye Yanran stared at the door of Auchan's office, and was slightly stunned, the reason why she was so anxious to come up to Auchan again and again was that she didn't want someone to report Xie Minglang looking for her privately before her, but if she waited like this, it was hard to guarantee that she would not be preempted.

She glanced at Serena, who was intently admiring her manicure, and her laid-back attitude did not look at all as if she had an important guest in front of her.

Ye Yanran took a deep breath and decided to gamble, so she took out her mobile phone and dialed Auchan, "Mr. Ou, I'm Ye Yanran, I have something important to report to you, I don't know when it will be convenient for you?"

Yes, when the last scandal incident was suspended, Auchan gave her private number to Ye Yanran, and she didn't plan to use it, since it was a business affair, it could be solved in a normal way, and there was no need to be special.

Auchan was also stunned when he received Ye Yanran's call, and paused and said, "I'm in the office, come here!"

Ye Yanran deliberately turned on the speakerphone, and seeing Serena's slightly discolored face, she sneered and stepped forward to open the door of Auchan's office and walked in.

Auchan was having lunch, and a simple business meal of three dishes and one soup was placed on the desk, and it seemed that it had just begun.

He leaned lightly on the armrest of the leather chair and motioned for Ye Yanran to sit down, although he still had an expression on his face, he obviously said with a relaxed attitude: "So urgent, what's the matter?"

Ye Yanran simply explained to him the situation of Xie Minglang looking for himself this morning, and then played the recording again.

"I think it's not a trivial matter now that this matter has entered the judicial process, and it is necessary to let you know everything. ”

Auchan had already heard some people talking vaguely about this in the morning, so he asked, "When did he find you?"

"This morning, before going to work, at the door of the company. Do I need to pull up the video over there?"

"You can keep this recording, and as for other matters of evidence collection, I will let the legal department follow up. ”

Ye Yanran nodded, ready to leave.

Auchan looked at her intently, "Since it was this morning, and you think it is so important, why did you come to me to report now?"

Sure enough, people in high positions are particularly suspicious. Ye Yanran didn't want to give the secretary an eye medicine, although she made things difficult for herself three or four times, but Ye Yanran didn't bother to do it.

However, now that Auchan has put her suspicions on herself, she has no way to hide it from anyone.

"I should have reported to you earlier, but I didn't happen to be in time for you to have a video conference on both occasions, and I think it's important, but it's not so urgent that you want to interrupt the meeting. ”

Ou Shang looked at Ye Yanran fixedly, the corners of his lips were almost imperceptibly curved, and he raised his hand and pressed the internal phone, "Serena, you come in." ”

Serena stood in front of Auchan, graceful, graceful, respectful but charming.

"When the agenda for the video conference was arranged, how come I don't know?" Auchan's tone was suddenly a few degrees colder than before, and his eyes stared sharply at Serena.

Serena quietly glared at Ye Yanran and didn't dare to squeak.

"Not as an example. Auchan's gaze moved from her body and landed on Ye Yanran, and his attitude was a little more modest, "Have you eaten?"

Ye Yanran was stunned for a moment and said, "Not yet, I'll go down and eat now." I won't disturb your rest. ”

Auchan smiled lightly: "Just stay and eat together, I often eat alone and it's quite boring." ”

？！

Ye Yanran felt that Auchan was simply pulling hatred for herself, and sure enough, Serena looked at her with a fierce gaze as if she wanted to kill.

"Working meals, don't you dislike them, right?"

Ye Yanran can say anything besides accepting.

Auchan waved his hand for Serena to prepare, and told her to hurry, "Yanran, you should have been hungry for a long time, right?" he said dotingly.

Ye Yanran smiled awkwardly with a black line.

After Serena went out, Auchan said lightly: "The temper of these secretaries is becoming more and more arrogant, and it's time to teach them a lesson!"

Ye Yanran smiled bitterly, and said in her heart that she didn't want to be the one who helped him teach the secretary a lesson.

Her principle is actually very simple, if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, and if you offend me, you will definitely pay it back several times. Now that Auchan is so blatantly provoking trouble and using her as a gunman, she is really unhappy.

Auchan chuckled, "Why are you still not satisfied?" He paused, nodded and said, "Just let her run an errand and buy you a meal as a companion, and the punishment is indeed lighter." In this way, when she comes back, I will help you vent. ”

"Don't!" Ye Yanran almost blurted out, the murderous look in the secretary's eyes when she went out just now, she felt scared when she thought about it, why bother to make this enemy for herself for no reason.

Auchan smiled heartily, "What, scared? I thought you weren't afraid of heaven and earth?"

Yes? Ye Yanran asked herself if she was a little stubborn, but she also followed the rules and never went out of line, how did she give Auchan this impression? She couldn't figure it out, but she could already be sure that Auchan was definitely stirring up trouble, but she didn't know what the purpose was. Jue Chun thinks it's funny, he's not like this kind of person.

Serena knocked on the door and entered, reluctantly having to put down her working meal with a pretense of generosity. In her heart, she scolded Ye Yanran inside and out, she just hated her and had no one in her eyes, but she didn't expect her to be so shameless and openly involved the man she liked.

Ye Yanran suddenly upgraded from a hated colleague to a lowly rival in Serena's heart, and that resentment can be described as deep in the bones.

Auchan looked up at her and asked, "What time do you and Julie change shifts?"

"2 points. Serena looked at Auchan with bright eyes, and the affection hidden in it was obvious. She thought that Auchan would at least say a word of hard work, after all, they were all eating, and she was still starving on duty.

Who knew that Auchan nodded and said: "Okay, it's none of your business, go down!" Next time, remember Miss Ye to come over, no matter what I'm doing, you just need to spread the word." She, I can see her at any time. ”

Serena's eyes dimmed and she replied in a huff.

Ye Yanran saw her hand hanging down her side clenched tightly, thinking that her palm had been pierced by her beautiful red nails. Ye Yanran almost understood Auchan's intentions, and after Serena left, she couldn't help but say angrily: "You have a heart." ”

Auchan burst out laughing again, "Is it obvious?"

He just acquiesced.

Ye Yanran glared at him hatefully, but there was nothing she could do.

Auchan tapped the edge of Ye Yanran's lunch box with his chopsticks, "Eat! Because of you, my rice is cold!" he complained.

Ye Yanran pulled over her lunch box and ate with her head bored.

Auchan eats slowly and behaves elegantly, but a lunch box allows him to eat the posture of a French meal.

Ye Yanran was sitting on pins and needles, she just wanted to finish eating and leave quickly.

"You eat slowly, and no one will rob you. Auchan's voice fell with doting.

Ye Yanran put down her chopsticks and replied unceremoniously: "Okay, there's no one here, don't pretend." I got goosebumps. Auchan's appearance made her forget to be afraid of him, but it was much easier.

Auchan's eyes fell on the door of the room, pursed his lips and chuckled, "I'll just say that you are bold, and you have never been polite when you talk to me." ”

His voice was very low, obviously different from the voice just now.

Ye Yanran followed his gaze and looked at the door, instantly comprehending.

Auchan made a silent motion with his fingers, lowered his voice, and said, "Clever." ”

Yes, at this moment Serena was lying on the door eavesdropping on the movement inside, and she had just heard Auchan's hearty laughter again and again outside, and jealousy made her heart feel as uncomfortable as being bitten by an insect, and finally she couldn't help but get up and listen to what they were saying and doing.

Ye Yanran got up and said goodbye, wanting to end this boring and evil performance.

Auchan raised his hand and motioned for her to sit down, "Don't worry, I have something to do with you." ”

He looked at the time and rang the intercom to ask Serena to bring in two cups of coffee.

Serena brought in two cups of coffee with an ugly face.

As if he hadn't seen it, Auchan said casually: "Take these down!" In addition, someone from the legal department will come to my office for a meeting at two o'clock. ”

Serena reluctantly cleaned up her desk, she never felt anything when she usually did this for Auchan, and she even had a sense of happiness in her heart, but it was indescribably awkward to let her serve Ye Yanran like this.

She took the lunch box away and closed the door with a "bang" to express her dissatisfaction.

Ye Yanran felt that she was a cannon fodder, and coffee was not something she wanted to drink, so she couldn't talk about it when she couldn't eat.

Auchan took a leisurely sip of coffee and said, "I don't like to talk about business when eating. ”

He seemed to be explaining to her, but Ye Yanran didn't accept it, and whispered: "Wrong." ”

Her voice was very low and low, but Auchan still heard it, and instead of being angry, he smiled and said, "Yanran, you are more cheerful than before." His voice was neither high nor low, without a particular tone, just narrating a fact.

Ye Yanran didn't know if he was making a show for people outside this time, so he simply pursed his lips and didn't speak. However, she has had a lot of contact with Ji Yufan, and she does feel that she is more sunny and presumptuous than before.

"Let's get down to business!" Auchan put down the coffee in his hand and said: "I have read your recent interviews, and they have done a good job, but they do not conform to the company's positioning and economic principles. ”

Regarding this point, Ye Yanran herself also felt that since she was labeled as the "queen of small apartments" by the media, her project team has received too many orders for small apartments, and the overall workload has increased, but the performance has declined.

Auchan continued: "From now on, I will let the company's marketing department arrange all your visits, and if there are any more media contacts with you, all of them will be pushed to the company, and you personally should not accept any kind of interviews in private." Yanran, I will make you a star designer. ”

Auchan's eyes were slightly deep, and he looked at her burningly, seeing that Ye Yanran was a little uncomfortable.

"Okay, I'll cooperate with the marketing department's arrangement. Mr. Ou, do you still need my cooperation from the legal department?" she changed the subject.

Auchan pondered for a moment and said, "I don't need it for the time being, I'll talk to them first." Xie Minglang's side, you handled it well this time, and you didn't come up stupidly to intercede for him. ”

"By the way, the personnel department has recruited three new design assistants, I heard that you didn't ask for them, all of them were given to Tang Jin and Cheng Xin, what's going on?"

"Oh, after Fang Yi's accident, Tang Jin's group has too serious a shortage of manpower, so I'll let one person give it to him first, anyway, I have two assistants here now, and the work can be arranged. ”

"I asked you to enter one more person in each group, is it because the work arrangement can't be opened? Naive! Tang Jin's side is short of manpower, and you can recruit again, and the people in your group who should be in must also enter. When will you be able to change the problem of this rotten good person? Many people and things are not as simple as you think, how many times do you have to say this? Immediately go to the personnel department and apply for an assistant to come back, and you must be on duty within a week. ”

Auchan's temper came as soon as he said it, Ye Yanran responded to it, she always felt that Auchan was trying to remind herself of something, but she hadn't guessed the mystery yet.
