97. Distress (I)

"Li Ran?" Zheng Chen walked to the pantry with a cup in his hand and wanted to pour a cup of coffee.

"Mr. Zheng Zheng, why did you come out to make coffee by yourself..."Li Ran reacted and immediately walked over to take Zheng Chen's cup and pour her coffee.

Zheng Chen looked at her back, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he couldn't help teasing, "It's not my assistant in a daze in the pantry, I can only do it myself~"

"I'm sorry Mr. Zheng, I... I didn't mean to, there won't be a next time. Li Ran obviously didn't hear the teasing meaning in Zheng Chen's words, and couldn't help but immediately turn around and apologize to Zheng Chen.

Li Ran's excessive respect and nervousness made Zheng Chen put away the joke, and instead pretended to be careless and said, "You are not quite right today, is something wrong, do you need me to give you a vacation to adjust, but it can't be more than three days, you know, the company is just on the track, it's too busy." ”

Li Ran seemed very uncomfortable with Zheng Chen's sudden overture, and hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "No, Mr. Zheng, you also said that the company is busy, so I'd better work hard." ”

"Well, it's good to work hard, but you seem to have taken the wrong text today, right?" Zheng Chen took a sip of the cup, and the coffee was really freshly ground.

"I... I'm sorry Mr. Zheng, these days because of personal matters... I'll take notice. Li Ran frowned and lowered his head very low.

"Mm-hmm" Zheng Chen nodded and looked at Li Ran with a little hesitation, although he hadn't been in the company for a long time, he had indeed helped himself a lot, and he had become his right-hand man, and he had been thinking about getting close to her and caring more, "That, Li Ran, you see that we have been together for a long time, if you are willing, you can treat me as your friend, if you are unhappy, you can tell me that maybe I can..."

Zheng Chen couldn't go on, because she had already seen the horror on Li Ran's face, what was going on, could it be that what she said was so terrifying, Zheng Chen coughed very uncomfortably, "Ahem, no, I mean, we are superiors and subordinates in the company, but we can also be friends in life, that is, if you need my help, you can tell me, just... That's it for now. ”

Was he dazzled just now, that high-flying Zheng Zong would actually run away, and he wanted to be friends with himself, Li Ran said that Zheng Chen's appearance was really terrifying, but before she could figure out what was wrong with Zheng Chen, a phone call brought her back to reality.

"Am I so scary, I'm still quite kind and friendly~" At this moment, Zheng Chen was holding a makeup mirror in one hand and touching his delicate face with the other, talking to himself.

"Knock, Mr. Zheng, I... You..."Li Ran didn't expect to see Zheng Chen's narcissistic appearance as soon as she opened the door, which made her really in a dilemma, so that today's abnormality made her feel that she had to care about the president.

"Huh? Is there something wrong? Zheng Chen calmly put down the makeup mirror and asked, not feeling that it was embarrassing to admire himself in front of his subordinates.

"Well, yes... I, I want to take half a day off and have some personal matters to deal with. Li Ran said stubbornly, obviously she was the one who refused to take a vacation in the pantry just now, but when she turned around and asked for leave, it was really... It's embarrassing.

Although Zheng Chen was also puzzled, she didn't think deeply that it was Li Ran who figured it out and accepted her concern, and she couldn't help but be very happy in her heart, so she approved it very happily, and Li Ran, who walked out of the office, was even more sure that the president of her family had hit an evil today.

"Hey, I said that the two of you have made an appointment, this is the front and back..."Zhou Zihan looked at Berlin and Zheng Chen standing in front of him and couldn't help joking, but his subordinates dialed the phone and asked to send two more meals.

Berlin looked at Zheng Chen with an innocent face and said, "Today I came over to see the progress of the project, the chef's side of the food you know is ordered in the morning, so..."

Zheng Chen also continued, "No one has ordered food, I think you will come alone to accompany you..."

Zhou Zihan was speechless after hearing this, and rolled his eyes, "You just say that you can just come over and eat, there are so many reasons." ”

The two shrugged their shoulders and did not answer, because they were here to eat, and the secretary brought in two boxes of meals while talking, and the two of them opened them unceremoniously to eat, but it was bitter Zhou Zihan got up and made soup dumplings for the two of them.

"Lin Lin, what's wrong, don't you feel like you're feeling energetic, are you too tired lately?" Zhou Zihan looked at Berlin, which was extremely quiet today, and said with concern.

"It's nothing, it's just that my eyelids have been jumping since the morning today, and I always feel weird as if something is going to happen." Berlin pulled the rice and said lightly.

"The left eye is still the right eye, isn't it as the saying goes, the left eye jumps wealth, the right eye jumps disaster." Zheng Chen raised his head and asked.

"Right eye." Berlin replied immediately.

"Right eye, male left, female right, then it is..."

"Stop, where did you get any superstitious sayings, I think you're just too tired lately, lack of sleep, and Sister Deng's matter is also a little nervous, which will cause your eyelids to jump, don't listen to Xiao Chen's nonsense." Zhou Zihan interjected.

"No, there is really this old saying, and it's quite accurate, Lin Lin or stick a blank piece of paper on it, jump in vain." Zheng Chen pulled out a tissue nearby, tore off a small strip and was about to stick it to Berlin's eyelids.

"What do you look like, how can you believe this, you have to be scientific." Zhou Zihan said to the two with a bluffed face.

But Berlin Xu was really nervous in his heart or glued the tissue, but Zhou Zihan was not light, and in the end he could only turn into a sentence: "Xiao Chen, who wants to say that you are not Chinese, I will be the first to go up and beat him." ”

"Huh? Well, yes. Zheng Chen, who obviously didn't understand, responded with a smile, and was also a pure American, who actually knew more about various Chinese cultures than her, a Chinese, really... Ay.

The three of them nested in Zhou Zihan's office to eat, drink, and chat, and the time passed at once, until Zheng Chen's mobile phone rang, "Xiaoguan?" Then you can just give Li Zhu directly... Oops, yes, forget me, then you put it on my table and I'll go back later. ”

"What's the matter, there's something urgent?" Zhou Zihan asked after seeing her hang up the phone.

"No, it's just that there is a copy of the text, it's not that I forgot that Li Zhu asked for leave in the afternoon, so don't you have to send this thing to me." Zheng Chen pursed his lips, thinking that he wanted to give Li Ran a holiday before, but now how long has it been, and he is still suitable to be an exploiter.

"Li Ran took a leave of absence in the afternoon?" Berlin asked, frowning.

"Yes, this morning, I saw that she was quite out of shape, so I wanted to give her a vacation, but I didn't want it, but asked me for leave at noon, no, I came here without anyone to order food." Zheng Chen played with his mobile phone and smiled.

"I'm on leave... I'm on leave...", Berlin muttered repeatedly.

Seeing her so naturally, Zhou Zihan could think of what she was worried about, and couldn't help but comfort her: "Maybe it's her private matter, don't think about it." After finishing speaking, he didn't forget to glance at Zheng Chen, and Zheng Chen immediately shook his head and said that he didn't know anything.

"No, I don't feel at ease if any of you send me back." Berlin finally couldn't sit still and said to the two of them.

"No, Lin Lin, you are a little frightened, what can happen in this blue sky and daylight, or you can call Teacher Deng first." Zheng Chen has some taste for food.

"yes, you can ask first." Zhou Zihan also echoed.

There was no way, Berlin could only take out her mobile phone, but before she could dial the number, a call came in, and when she saw this number, Berlin's inner uneasiness somehow expanded, "Brother Chen, what's the matter?" … What the! ”

"What's wrong?" Zhou Zihan also felt that something was wrong when he saw Berlin's expression.

"Xiao Xuyang took leave in the afternoon." Berlin said distractedly.

"Don't panic, maybe something happens to the couple, you call Sister Deng, and I'll drive." Zhou Zihan also had some bad premonitions.

"Okay, Kelly, you come with me..."Berlin didn't forget to pull Zheng Chen when he went out.

"I... I..."Although I was very happy to be led by Berlin, I thought of the reason why she pulled herself...

It turned out that Berlin's uneasiness was not unreasonable, Deng Liyi's mobile phone was not answered, and the three of them hurried to S University, but unfortunately they were also told that Deng Liyi was asked out to dinner by her friend at noon, and they wondered why they hadn't come back, you must know that Teacher Deng has never been late for her class.

So at this time, needless to say, the two directly targeted Zheng Chen, and Zheng Chen, who was watched by the two, swallowed a rare saliva: "I'll call Li Ran." ”

Li Ran, who received Zheng Chen's call on the other side, was already six gods at the moment, looking at the two people who were scuffling together, she could only hold the mobile phone in her hand and tremble...

"Li Ran, you lied to me, you... Let go of me, Xiao Xuyang, you are a beast, you let go. Deng Liyi desperately protected herself with her hands, and kept kicking Xiao Xuyang who was about to hug herself, she didn't expect such a thing to happen, when she was shouted out by Li Ran today, she wanted to refuse, but she still softened when she thought of the miscarriage list, but she didn't expect to see Xiao Xuyang as soon as she entered the box, I didn't know what the two wanted to do, she still sat near the door with a slight sense of crisis, but who knew that Xiao Xuyang actually came to be strong when she said again that she would not remarry, And when he rushed out with instinct, he found that Li Ran had already blocked the door, so this was a long-planned Hongmen banquet.

"Hehe... Xiao Yi don't call, the sound insulation of this hotel is notoriously good, what do you say about me, when we remarry, we can live a happy family of three, maybe we can have another one. Xiao Xuyang said and kissed Deng Liyi's neck.

"You let go... Let go..."Deng Liyi kicked on Xiao Xuyang's crotch, and suddenly Xiao Xuyang squatted down in pain, and at this time, Deng Liyi ran to Li Ran again and grabbed her hand, "You let me out, you are committing a crime like this, do you know, you put....ah~"

"Slut, I have good things to say, you don't listen, you have to ask me to be strong like this." Xiao Xuyang grabbed her hair from behind Deng Liyi and pushed her to the ground with a fierce hand.

"Xiao Xuyang, what do you want to do, don't get close to me..."Deng Liyi subconsciously moved back, seeing that Xiao Xuyang was getting closer and closer to herself, she didn't dare to pick up the things at hand and throw them at Xiao Xuyang, these things are nothing more than cups, saucers, and tea bowls.

For a while, the sound of ping-pong in the room sounded, which attracted the attention of the waiter passing by outside, and he couldn't help knocking on the door to indicate if there was anything needed, and the sudden inquiry made Xiao Xuyang stop and gesture to Li Ran, who was still stunned on the side, with his eyes.

"No... It's okay, accidentally broke a cup and didn't have to come in. Li Ran said with a trembling voice.

Although the waiter outside was puzzled, he didn't continue to ask, you must know that anyone who can come to this restaurant is either rich or expensive, even if someone is really doing something inside, he can't care about it, a small waiter, so he shook his head and left directly.

After this episode, Li Ran seemed to have just reacted, seeing the mess in the room and Deng Liyi's head who fell to the ground seemed to be broken, and a trace of blood was dripping down, she was scared, she tried to persuade Xiao Xuyang to let Deng Liyi go, but when she saw a man who was different from the past, the anger exuded at the moment made her timid, she was not without Xiao Xuyang's domestic violence, although there was only one time, it still made her remember it vividly, and it seemed that she could still feel the faint pain in the ribs in her chest at this moment.

Just when Li Ran hesitated, the phone rang again, so she walked to the table and tried to pick it up, but was glared at by Xiao Xuyang, "What do you want to do, things have come to this point, is it possible that you still want her, you don't want your life anymore." Xiao Xuyang dragged Deng Liyi up from the ground and threw him on the sofa on the side.

Li Ran tried to take a deep breath to try to make himself less nervous, "The company's phone call, maybe there is an urgent matter, you don't believe I can show it to you." ”

Li Ran picked up his mobile phone and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the call did show that it was Zheng Chen, and Xiao Xuyang only glanced at her suspiciously and asked her to answer the phone.

Li Ran, who was temporarily liberated, quickly left the box, she wanted to ask Zheng Chen for help, she did wrong, she repeatedly made mistakes, and repeatedly hurt Deng Liyi.
