Chapter 21: You Can't Go

Thinking that it would be out at dawn tomorrow, Ran Xixi suddenly had a trace of unrelenting emotion. ā–¼

She thought that she might never return to Zhonghai again, but she didn't expect that after going around and around, she not only came back, but also met a lot of people she met or didn't want to see.

The luggage had already been packed and left in the corner of the room, just waiting for the departure tomorrow.

As soon as I put down my phone, unexpectedly, it was another push message. Ran Xixi picked it up and took a look, and now it was a reminder from the bank, and a large amount of money was transferred in.

She checked the amount, and now this should be the remuneration she paid for the promotional photos of Yayun Cream, which is a little more than the amount when she signed the contract before. There is a note in the contract that the company will give appropriate rewards or fines according to Ran Xixi's work performance, ranging from 3% to 5% of the total remuneration.

Ran Xixi pressed the calculator, and now he has just five percent more income, which should be regarded as a reward from the other party.

After thinking about it, she decided to call the senior manager of the advertising department and thank her personally.

Unexpectedly, Manager Gao's mobile phone was turned off, and the phone in his office was also transferred to the secretary Helen.

"I'm sorry, Miss Ran, Manager Gao has been on vacation recently, and I don't know which day he will return to the company for the time being. Moreover, Manager Gao's leave was specially approved by the law firm, and there was no personnel system. ā€

Helen said apologetically.

Special approval?

Ran Xixi raised her eyebrows, she has worked in NG Group for nearly three years, and this situation has also been encountered, and intuitively, she feels that Manager Gao's vacation will not be so simple. ā– 

"Okay, thank you. Also, I have received the salary paid by your company, the amount is accurate, if it is convenient, please express your gratitude to Manager Gao on my behalf. ā€

With that, Ran Xixi hung up the phone.

But she always felt that Manager Gao suddenly couldn't be contacted, and this matter must have something to do with him accidentally losing the sketch. Perhaps, Lu Qinghuan will put all the responsibility on his head, after all, this is a big matter, and there is no way to make it public, and only a few relevant people know about it so far.

Thinking of this, Ran Xixi was a little restless.

One of my own work habits has brought such a big butterfly effect. Manager Gao carelessly lost the sketch, it was indeed his fault, but if she hadn't done more, she would not have left this hidden danger.

The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, and if she just left, this matter would become a knot. After hesitating for a moment, Ran Xixi still dialed Lu Qinghuan's number, and when she flipped through the recent call list, she was a little nervous, afraid that he would block her directly, and don't even contact each other again.

Luckily, it did.

At that moment, Ran Xixi was a little excited.

But he just picked up the phone, but didn't speak.

Waited and waited, only smelling the breath, and in the end, she really had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "I, I have already received the salary for the photo, and I want to thank you for the five percent reward." That, I just called Manager Gao, I heard that he was on vacation, did you quit him?"

After Ran Xixi finished speaking, Lu Qinghuan, who had not spoken, suddenly burst out laughing. ā—†

He laughed for a long time, and finally stopped: "Are you calling me just to say these things? Okay, then I can answer you now: First, you signed a contract with my company, you completed the work on time, and we paid on time, which is a normal thing." Second, Manager Gao is my regular employee, and he doesn't need to worry about outsiders or explain to anyone. Now, are you satisfied?"

Ran Xixi was speechless when asked, and was speechless for a long time.

She sneered, "I—I'm just worried about you firing him...... In fact, he is not entirely to blame for the loss of the sketch, if I had given it to him in electronic form, maybe it would not have ......"

Before Ran Xixi finished speaking, Lu Qinghuan interrupted her sharply: "What if? There are not so many ifs in the world! If a person does something wrong, he can use what ifs as an excuse, then what rules and regulations are needed?"

He had never used such a harsh tone on her, and this was the first time, which showed that Lu Qinghuan was really angry.

She sighed slightly, admitting that she was at fault.

Since sooner or later it will disappoint him, he should not have been given hope in the first place.

But the moment she promised him, she was really willing, without any deception or reluctance. It's a pity that the two people may be more than friendship, and the lovers are not full, she can't pass the threshold in her heart anyway, if she can make her feelings qualitative by intimacy alone, she doesn't hesitate to try once.

But, no.

She can't imagine that her body can accommodate other men, in the end, her body can't dominate **. ā–¼

Is this considered a woman's physical disadvantage? You can't be like most men who don't have concentration, clearly separate love from desire, and put on pants and don't recognize people.

"I'm sorry, but I'm too troubled. Good bye. ā€

Indeed, this phone call is actually a bit redundant.

Maybe she just wanted to find another excuse to listen to his voice in the ten hours before leaving.

After that, Ran Xixi was about to hang up the phone.

"Wait!"

Lu Qinghuan seemed to sense something and hurriedly called out to her.

"When are you going back to Paris?"

He asked, picking up the electronic perpetual calendar on his desk and checking the date.

If he remembers correctly, Ran Xixi said before that he had an approximate time to return to China, but it was actually coming soon, just in the past few days.

"In two days. ā€

After a moment's hesitation, she lied anyway.

Lu Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief, in two days, it means that he will still be able to see her again, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. He thought that by finishing the next two days' work all night today, he would be able to free up a large chunk of his time.

He couldn't hold it anymore, and there was only one thought in his mind, to see her. ā–¼ā—ā—†ā–²

Even if he was told that he was unproductive, he admitted it.

"Got it. ā€

Suppressing all kinds of impulses in his heart, Lu Qinghuan still tried to say as calmly as possible, he couldn't say why, he always felt that something was strange, maybe it was her tone, or maybe she made a sudden phone call.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot one thing. I sent the blazer you lent me last time to wash it, and I've mailed the laundry bill to Emily and she'll get it back for you. ā€

Ran Xixi added as if he remembered something.

"Oh, got it. ā€

He frowned slightly, it turned out that she didn't want to return the clothes to him by herself, she had to go through other people's hands.

"It's okay. ā€

He can't go on any more, he is such a cautious person, as long as he says a few more words, he will definitely be suspicious.

Ran Xixi was ruthless and hung up the phone directly, she silently watched the screen darken after dozens of seconds, and finally, it was completely black.

Listening to the busy sound from the mobile phone, Lu Qinghuan suddenly felt a fluster.

He was sure he had never felt this way.

But he kept persuading himself that he might be too tired, and since the end of the Yayun Cream's cloth meeting, Angelina's sales team has hardly had any rest, fighting hard, fighting with competitors in sales data in major counters and brand chain stores.

Lu Qinghuan is in charge of the company, not only to deal with the highlight of Jiahuang and Qiu Yibai's termination, but also to stare at the marketing data every hour, and the whole person is exhausted.

The most important thing is that the problem person within the company, he has not found out yet, and he has hidden it deep enough.

Squeezing his eyebrows with his hand, Lu Qinghuan put down his phone and closed his eyes.

Ran Xixi climbed into bed and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt.

In the afternoon, she was so hungry that she couldn't hold on, and no matter how strong she was, she couldn't resist the rumbling stomach. After listening to the movement for a long time, Ran Xixi felt that there seemed to be no one downstairs, and she didn't know if Zhan Xingchuan had gone out.

All the way to the kitchen, Ran Xixi cooked another bowl of noodles, and threw a few slices of beef rolls and a handful of small greens into it.

Whoever loses can't lose the stomach.

She thought indignantly as she sat down to eat noodles.

As for Zhan Xingchuan, he never showed up, but she knew that he was at home, because from the study upstairs, his coughing sound was faintly heard, proving that he did not go out.

Two people are obviously under the same roof, but they both treat each other as invisible.

This situation lasted until more than six o'clock the next morning, when Ran Xixi dragged his suitcase and went downstairs with difficulty.

She tried her best not to make a sound, so as not to wake Zhan Xingchuan, who knows, when she reached the first floor, she saw that he was already fully dressed, sitting on the sand in the living room, watching the morning news.

"If it's not done, you won't be able to leave. ā€

His face was expressionless, he raised his head and said a word, and then continued to watch the news.

Ran Xixi sneered, brushed her head on the side of her cheeks with her hand, pulled her suitcase without saying a word, and got into the taxi waiting outside - this was booked in advance by her last night, and early this morning, the driver came to pick her up and take her to the airport.

As soon as she got into the car, her cell phone rang.

Ran Xixi glanced at it, it was Zhan Xingchuan calling.

She didn't want to answer at all.

But he kept calling, and even the driver couldn't help but glance at her a few times in the rearview mirror.

didn't want to be speculated, Ran Xixi had to pick it up.

"If you don't want to toss back and forth, ask the driver to turn around now and come back right away. ā€

He said coldly, as if he was sure that she would not be able to leave today, and when he heard Ran Xixi's heart, a wave of anger rose in her heart, and she was not ambiguous, and replied directly: "No, I don't want to see you again." ā€

After saying that, she turned off the phone directly, not giving him any chance to say more.

The road to the airport was not smoother than in the city, and finally arrived at the airport, Ran Xixi paid the fare, and the driver helped her carry her suitcase down and sent her to the corresponding terminal.

After Ran Xixi thanked him, he went directly to get his boarding pass.

"Sorry, there was something wrong with your ticket, please wait. ā€

Although the staff smiled sweetly, they said something that surprised Ran Xixi.
