Firm.

Ye Yanran walked into the office with a blue face, although she was both angry and embarrassed at the moment, she was still keenly aware of the unusual atmosphere in the office.

Everyone looked at her strangely, even Tang Fei, her eyes shrank, and she was a little speechless. Only Cheng Xin stood on the aisle, with a posture of watching a good show.

Could it be that the special issue of "Yaju" came out ahead of schedule?

This was Ye Yanran's first reaction, and now for her, there is nothing more important than here.

However, this idea was soon broken by Fang Yi's appearance.

Looking at Fang Yi, walking towards him with a big red envelope in her high heels, Ye Yanran's tense heart suddenly relaxed.

Yesterday, when she heard Ding Man say that Fang Yi asked for marriage leave, she couldn't help but feel melancholy for a minute, but today she realized that these are not even a fart compared to her career.

"Ye Yanran, Xiaodong and I are getting married, you are welcome to attend! October 8th, six o'clock in the afternoon, go to the island hotel, arrive early!"

The air in the entire office seemed to be frozen, silent, and everyone looked at Ye Yanran in a daze to see how she reacted.

Ye Yanran smiled and took the invitation from Fang Yi, "Congratulations." ”

She swept sideways past Fang Yi, but was grabbed by Fang Yi's wrist.

"You'll go then, right?" Fang Yi looked at her with burning eyes.

Ye Yanran stroked Fang Yi's hand, took a step back, glanced at the high heels on her feet and said, "You are pregnant now, it's best not to pull and pull like this, in case one of them can't stand steadily, falls and miscarries, and delays the marriage, it will be too cost-effective." ”

What she said clearly meant that Wei Xiaodong would marry Fang Yi for the sake of her children, and if she didn't have children, she wouldn't have a wedding.

Fang Yi immediately nervously protected her stomach, "What do you mean, if you dare to touch this child, Xiaodong will never let you go." ”

Ye Yanran sneered: "Don't worry, I'm not interested in your children, men, or weddings." Don't brush up on your presence here. It's useless!"

Ji Yufan entered the office just to see this scene, he frowned for a moment, then changed his smiling face, walked over and said, "Sister Fang Yi, you are full of red light and full of energy, what is the great joy of you! Don't forget me." ”

Fang Yi touched her face and said with a smile: "Sister is getting married, you wait for me to get you an invitation." ”

Ji Yufan quietly glanced at Ye Yanran and followed behind Fang Yi, "Yo, is it? Brother-in-law is blessed to marry such a beautiful woman as you." ”

Fang Yi's face bloomed with a smile when he heard this, and he took the invitation and handed it over.

When Ji Yufan reached out to pick it up, she withdrew her hand again, asking him to catch it, and then handed it over again, and said in a flattering voice: "I'll be there early." ”

Ji Yufan shuddered secretly, but his face was still smiling brightly, "Don't worry, you will definitely prepare a congratulatory gift for you." ”

Fang Yi didn't hear what he said, and said with a smile: "You can come." ”

Since Ji Yufan came to work in Shangcheng, he has been recognized as a handsome guy in the office, and many female employees have taken the initiative to show favor to him, and even the young female employees in the upstairs department often come down under the excuse. But like Fang Yi, who is pregnant with a child and does not forget to discharge wedding invitations, still makes the entire office amazed.

Ye Yanran had already taken the opportunity to go back to her office, at this time she didn't want to have any entanglement with Fang Yi, although she had a lot of opportunities, but when she was in school, she still read a few books on the Internet, and she still knew a little bit about the bad stalks of miscarriage and miscarriage.

Fang Yi's birth came so "timely" that there was no mystery in it, she didn't want to be accidentally used and framed.

One Cheng Xin is enough to be annoying, but she doesn't want to provoke the two scourges of Wei Xiaodong and Fang Yi again.

She sat back in a leather chair with one hand on her forehead, and she still remembered the scene in the car this morning.

"I like you, and it likes you!"

"I can pretend I don't like it, but it's honest!"

After the embarrassment and nervousness dissipated, a trace of sweetness welled up in her heart.

The rapid ringing of the phone pulled her back to reality......

Ah Bao whispered on the phone: "I just received the news, Shi Qing's interview has been successfully passed, the editor-in-chief is very satisfied with the perspective of her topic selection, and it will definitely be in this special issue, the photographer she found for you to shoot the real scene of the home is also the top of "Yaju", but it is difficult to say whether it will be selected as the cover because of this."

The editor-in-chief is still weighing, tonight is the deadline, tomorrow is the blue paper, and the art department has not yet received the final news. I've heard that there are higher decision-makers involved. ”

"What's going on, is that clear?"

Ye Yanran doesn't quite understand the operation of a magazine, but she knows that true editorial freedom is actually very difficult to achieve, and many times, the topic selection of the magazine has to serve the relevant stakeholders.

"I don't know, it's an open and closed door meeting, and I can't get any wind. When things reach the upper decision-making level, it is no longer something we can control. ”

Ye Yanran hung up the phone, her heart was still up and down, from the moment she knew that she was going to compete with Cheng Xin for "Yaju", she had already called Ah Bao to help contact the people over there, but in the final analysis, they were just grassroots backbones in their respective fields, or barely middle-level backbones, and they were still too far away from the decision-making level.

As Ah Bao said, when things reach the level of decision-making at the top, it is no longer something that people like them can control.

Not to mention them, even if they are the editor-in-chief of "Yaju", they have no right to speak in front of the senior management of the head office. After all, "Yaju" is still a product that came into being for the publicity needs of the head office.

In terms of pure design, she still has confidence in herself. She has seen Cheng Xin's design, the style is luxurious and complex, and it can indeed cater to the dazzling wealth psychology of many nouveau riche, but it lacks personal style and is not a good work.

The editor-in-chief of "Yaju" is also an expert in the industry, and Cheng Xin's grandiose works are difficult to get into her eyes. As for Kangjin's model room, with the main purpose of facilitating the future operation of real estate developers, it follows the stereotypical style of assembly line, which also lacks spirituality and is not the best choice.

On the contrary, the several cases she provided to Shi Qing have their own styles, smart and self-contained, and they are easy to move people's hearts. It was also because of this that she did everything possible to ask Ah Bao to help her contact an interview, and sent her design to the "Yaju" magazine to fight for an opportunity for herself.

Her only weakness is that these cases are all small, and it is difficult to cater to the business needs of today's large land merchants. The head office of "Yaju", Jinbo Group, is such a real estate enterprise that started with building luxury houses. Under the trend of profit, they are likely to give up the pursuit of good design and choose some designs that are more in line with their business needs to guide the direction of the consumer market.

Now that the head office is holding a closed-door meeting, this possibility is increasing invisibly, how can she not be nervous?

Ye Yanran stood by the window and looked at the bustling Central Avenue, a place where foreign companies gather and talents are abundant, and it is also a place where she has worked hard for six years.

After a long time, she returned to her desk and turned on the computer, and began to sort out her work materials over the years.

A day later.

The blue paper of "Yaju" is out, but there is still no rumor leaking out, Ye Yanran has prepared for the worst, she has already explained the work that can be explained in advance, and every work she handles is sorted out clearly, no matter who takes over, there will be no chaos.

After work, she asked Ji Yufan to drive her to a nearby supermarket to buy a lot of ingredients, and pulled him to choose a few red wines.

"I'm here to cook you a big meal today. She said.

"Are you alright?" Ji Yufan was very worried about her abnormality.

"Tomorrow is the holiday, let's have a good meal tonight, drink a little wine, and relax. ”

The more excited she became, the more worried Ji Yufan became. Today he pulled her hand several times, but she didn't dodge it, and she didn't even notice it, this situation is really abnormal.

When he got home, Shangguan Yu quickly noticed that the atmosphere in the room was different today, and quietly pulled Ji Yufan and asked, "Sister Yanran, what's wrong?" ”

"The company's affairs, she is too stressed, and her heart is not happy. Ji Yufan looked at Ye Yanran, who was busy in the kitchen, and whispered to Shangguan Zhen: "After eating in a while, you can go home early! ”

Shangguan Zhen also looked in Ye Yanran's direction, nodded and said, "I told my dad that the car would go to J City at 8 o'clock in the evening, are you sure I don't have to stay to accompany her?"

"No, if someone can't relax, she'll just die. ”

"But what if she doesn't want to do something stupid?"

Ji Yufan knocked on the head of Shangguan Zhen fiercely, "What do you think about acting in a TV series?

Shangguan Zhen rubbed the top of his head, looking at Ji Yufan's back when he turned around and went to the kitchen, the past two days of getting along made her more and more aware of the fact that Ji Yufan likes Sister Yanran, and when the two of them are together, the aura exuded by him has become different.

Her heart hurts, like a needle prick, like a knife. There was more than one person in this room, but Ji Yufan could only see one person in his eyes.

She looked at the two happy people in the kitchen, and really wanted to open the door and rush out like this now, from now on, don't see, don't see, don't want to!

"Shangguan Zhen, come and serve the food!" Ji Yufan called her in the kitchen.

"Oh, here we are!"

Shangguan Yu wiped the tears that oozed from the corners of his eyes, ran to the kitchen, and almost bumped into Ji Yufan, who had just walked to the door.

"If you slow down, you won't be able to walk well!" Ji Yufan habitually counted, and looked down to see Shangguan You's red eyes, "Why are your eyes red?"

Shangguan Yu hurriedly rubbed his eyes and said, "I accidentally lost my eyes by the window just now!"

"You're so good, you can be blinded in the house, are you okay? Would you like to find eye drops?"

"It's okay, why are you so squeamish!Give me the food!" Shangguan Zhen just wanted to escape now.

Ji Yufan didn't feel at ease and handed the fried vegetables to her, "You can take it, walk slowly." ”

"Oops! You're so annoying! Go and stir-fry, I smell burning!"

Ji Yufan looked back, and there was smoke billowing from the oil pot on the gas stove, but Ye Yanran, who was standing not far away washing vegetables, was unaware.

He hurriedly turned off the stove and took the dish from Ye Yanran's hand, "I'll come! You're tired, go into the house and rest for a while!"

Ye Yanran came back to her senses, "Then how can I do it, I said that I would cook today!"

"Aren't you making steamed fish and grilled chicken wings?

"Ahh

Ji Yufan looked at his watch, "Eight minutes, it's just right now!", he turned around and turned off the stove on the other side, opened the lid of the pot and used the universal clip to clip the fish dish out of the pot and put it on the table, spread the shredded green onions, and pour the hot oil that had just been boiled, "You can pour the soy sauce!"

Ye Yanran, who was on the side, poured the mixed soy sauce sauce on the fish, and Ji Yufan clapped his palms and said, "Great! The steamed sea bass is finished! Well, it smells so good!"

"Are you coaxing me like a child?"

"Wrong!" Ji Yufan nodded her nose lightly, "You are much more difficult to coax than a child! Quick, bring the fish out! Be careful not to burn your hands." I'll stir-fry. ”

She didn't resist this move, is this a good thing?

"Where's the chicken wings?" Ye Yanran only recovered a little at this time.

"It was already put on a plate just now, and let Shangguan Yu take it out. You can leave the rest to me!" Ji Yufan pushed Ye Yanran out of the kitchen.

"Jiwei shrimp!Don't forget Jiwei shrimp!" Ye Yanran turned around and instructed.

"Got it!"

"The water boils for three minutes and then it comes out of the pot! After a long time, the meat will be old and not delicious. Ye Yanran was still not at ease.

"Okay, let's go into the house and rest!" Ji Yufan closed the kitchen door and started stir-frying again.

He didn't do much effort, and he used a large tray to bring out three dishes: shiitake mushroom rape, oyster sauce okra, and boiled shrimp.

Ye Yanran stretched out her hand to help him put the dishes on the table, "It's hard! I said I'll cook, but it's always been you!"

"It's a shift anyway, next time you do it. ”

"Okay, that's it, you won't rob me next time. "Anyway, maybe there's a lot of work to do in the future.

Shangguan Zhen watched the two interact like an old husband and wife who had lived for many years, and only felt heartbroken, "I'll go get the dishes and chopsticks." ”

She ran for her life. Some things, before you see through it, it's quite happy to live in your own fantasy world in ignorance, once you see it clearly, when you can no longer deceive yourself, the feeling of grief is like a thousand arrows piercing your heart.

Shangguan Zhen hid in the kitchen and took a few deep breaths to stabilize his mood, and then took the dishes and chopsticks out.

In the living room, Ye Yanran was opening red wine, "I'm happy today, let's open another bottle, how about it?"

"That girl has to go home for a while, she can't drink it, just the two of us, let's open this bottle first!"

Ye Yanran held the wine bottle and looked at Shangguan Zhen, "Can't you really drink a little?"

Shangguan Yu only hoped to be drunk to death now, but in response to Ji Yufan's warning gaze, she shook her head with a smile and said, "Don't drink it, talk to your family, and go back in a while." ”

"Okay then, you drink juice. ”

After Ye Yanran poured the juice for Shangguan Zhen, she poured two more glasses of red wine and handed one of them to Ji Yufan.

She raised her glass, "Tomorrow is the National Day holiday, this is the first time I have given myself a holiday since I joined the work, so I have to celebrate, come and toast to us." ”

She said and drained a full glass of red wine in one gulp.

Shangguan Zhen and Ji Yufan looked at each other, and they were a little stupid.

At this time, Ye Yanran had already filled herself with a second cup, "Seven days of long vacation! I have never had a vacation! I tell you, I haven't had a vacation since high school, and when others play at home during the winter and summer vacations, I either go to cram school or work part-time, and I have never taken such a long break." Do you think I can be upset?"

Saying that, she raised her head and drank it all, and when she poured the wine again, Ji Yufan stopped her.

He took the wine bottle and poured her a third of the glass, "This wine has to be tasted slowly, you eat first, I have been busy in the kitchen for so long, and you don't taste it, it's too disrespectful to my labor!"

Shangguan Yu hurriedly moved his hands to help with the vegetables, "Yes, Sister Yanran, eat fish! ”

Just two glasses of red wine were drunk too quickly, Ye Yanran was a little dizzy, she propped her head and muttered slightly drunk: "I made this fish, not counting the fruits of his labor." ”

"Then eat chicken wings, these chicken wings are delicious. Shangguan Yu put another piece of chicken wings into her bowl.

"That's what I did, too!"

"Then let's eat the shrimp! this shrimp is very fresh. "Shangguan Zhen clamped again.

Ye Yanran waved her hand again and again: "This is what I instructed him to do, it doesn't count!"

Ji Yufan stroked his forehead, the drunk Ye Yanran seemed to have changed into a different person, and just now said that this meal was hard for him, and in a blink of an eye, it was all on herself.

Shangguan Yu was also a little anxious, and glared back at Ji Yufan, "What have you been doing in the kitchen for half a day?"

Ye Yanran shook her wine glass, "I want to drink, and Ji Yufan picked the wine for me." ”

Ji Yufan snatched the wine glass in her hand, "Eat the vegetables first, you see that the dishes in your bowl are all sharp, you can't waste food." ”

Ye Yanran had to pick up the chopsticks, but no matter how hard she tried to eat, there were only a lot more dishes in the bowl.

"Oh, don't give it to me anymore! ”

Ji Yufan put down his chopsticks and said, "If you hold it, then don't eat it anymore." Shangguan Zhen help clean up the table!"

"But I haven't drunk yet!" Ye Yanran protested, just now Ji Yufan confiscated her wine, and never returned it to her.

Ji Yufan pretended to think for a while and said, "Okay then, let's have a final drink, the wine in the cup, and don't drink it anymore after drinking." ”

Shangguan Zhen also cooperated: "Yes, after this drink, I will also go home." Sister Yanran, let's continue drinking another day. ”

After drinking this glass of wine with Ye Yanran in a hurry, Ji Yufan opened up the table, and now his routine towards her is basically the same as dealing with children, and he even put away the wine with coaxing.

After packing up, Shangguan Qi got up and said goodbye.

Ji Yufan took her suitcase and sent her downstairs, and stopped a taxi at the corner of the street, "In Yanran's case, I won't send you, you send me WeChat at home." ”

"I know, you don't need to send it, I'll be a goof as soon as you send it. Shangguan Zhen pretended to be relaxed and said, "Okay, you can go up quickly!"

Ji Yufan turned around and left without hesitation, Shangguan Qi looked at him through the car window and left without looking back, until his back disappeared, and then he ordered the driver to drive.

Upstairs, Ji Yufan pushed open the door and saw Ye Yanran sitting on the carpet holding the wine bottle and looking up to drink, he hurriedly walked over and grabbed the wine bottle.

"Don't drink it! What problem can you solve with that?"

Ye Yanran lifted a pair of misty phoenix eyes and said, "What problem can I solve if I don't drink?"

Ji Yufan choked for a while, drunk people are often like this, the logic is correct with extremes, some things you don't usually think like this, and things that you say like this suddenly go in a biased direction. At the same time, the words are so sharp that it is impossible to refute.

"I used to believe that as long as you treat people sincerely and do things seriously, you will definitely succeed. Actually, no, look at me now, is there anyone worse than me?"

"Yanran, you're drunk, I'll help you go back and get a good night's sleep, and you'll be fine tomorrow!" Ji Yufan half-hugged and half-hugged Ye Yanran and sent Ye Yanran back to her room opposite.

Ye Yanran half-leaned into his arms and continued endlessly: "Okay? I'll tell you, it won't be good! I haven't had a good time since I was a child! Grandma doesn't hurt, uncle doesn't love, it's people like me!"

He helped her sit on the edge of the bed, held her face and said, "Don't say that, they don't love you or don't love you, it doesn't matter, I love you and love you, I will protect you." Don't worry, as long as it is what you want, I will find a way to get it for you. ”

Ye Yanran half-squinted her misty eyes, as if she didn't understand his words at all, and said to herself: "I told you that this world is not fair at all! It's not fair at all! It's obviously Wei Xiaodong's bastard who cheated, but he poured dirty water on me! Framed me with his lover! Bastard, bastard!"

"Do you still think about him? That kind of man doesn't deserve it!"

Ye Yanran lifted her eyelids, and continued: "What if I work hard? A bullshit scandal, a completely trumped-up charge, everything is over! The project I worked so hard to complete was handed away!"

She grabbed Ji Yufan's collar and said, "What is Cheng Xin, you say she's a fart! She will only make a show and show off her figure, just such a garbage actually won! She actually won me! Do you say it's ridiculous? This world is so ridiculous!"

Ji Yufan found that he and Ye Yanran were now talking to each other at all, so he simply helped her lie down, stroked the messy hair on her forehead and said, "You sleep obediently! Don't worry, you won't lose, I won't let you lose!"

"Tell me, what is my hard work for so many years? What is it? I want her rotten design, not mine!"

Ye Yanran chattered about her grievances like all drunkards, and couldn't listen to others at all.

"Don't talk about it, your talent won't be buried. The editor-in-chief of "Yaju" is not blind, she will definitely not take a fancy to Cheng Xin's rotten ghost design. ”

Ye Yanran squinted her eyes and said: "What do you know? Everything is in charge of the economy, as long as her rotten designs can meet the needs of the market and meet the commercial needs of the head office of "Yaju", she can be on the cover. In this world, everything is fake, only interests are real. ”

She sat up suddenly, "Where's the wine? I want to drink! You drink with me!"

Ji Yufan was a little anxious, "Look at what you look like now?Where did your usual calmness go?Where did you go to be strong?Where did you go with arrogance?"

Ye Yanran laughed hysterically, "Calm, strong, arrogant! That's all pretending! I'm not like this, what can I do? Who cares about me, helps me, cares about me? No! I only have myself! You say, what can I do? I can only pretend, I can only die!"

Tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, and she closed them, silently letting them flow.

Ji Yufan's heart ached uncomfortably, he held her in his arms, "You still have me! I said I like you, but you don't believe it! I will take care of you, really! Believe me, I won't leave you." ”

She looked up at him, and saw the lonely and helpless bad self in his clear eyes, she shook her head, "You don't have to comfort me, I'm just a loser, a poor worm that no one hurts and no one loves, my mother doesn't like me, my boyfriend doesn't like me, my colleagues don't like me, no one likes me." ”

Ye Yanran fell into a strange circle of self-pity, if her friends were there at the moment, Su Yan would definitely be the first to rush up and slap her awake; Ah Bao would accompany her to cry and then comfort her; Yi Xian would calmly help her analyze the situation and prove that her idea was wrong.

And at this moment, there is only Ji Yufan, he does not have the above skills, looking at her sad, his heart hurts as if it was crushed, he picked up her face, kissed her lips fiercely, and swallowed all her grievances and grievances.
