As soon as Xu Ran's words fell, He Junnan took over the conversation with a serious face and said, "So you suspected Lu Xiao's head, and wanted to verify this fact, and then you went to Lu Xiao's residence. ”

Xu Ran nodded, with a hint of melancholy in his eyes, and said, "It's a pity that no one saw it, but it was injured." ”

After saying this, He Junnan and Chen Mengyao showed a stunned expression at the same time.

If it had been the two of them at that time, I am afraid that they would have been buried in the explosion long ago, and they could stand here with a freak like Xu Ran.

Chen Mengyao looked at Xu Ran and moved her mouth, wanting to say some comforting words, but when she saw her cousin on the side looking at her with a smiling face, she swallowed what she wanted to say in her stomach. could only use a pair of big eyes that were bright and bright, and glared at He Junnan fiercely. Then he blushed and sat down on the couch next to him.

Looking at Chen Mengyao's shy appearance, He Junnan knew that she must have a good impression of Xu Ran, otherwise she would not be shy like this. With a smile on his face, he looked at the sun outside the window, turned his head to look at the clock hanging on the wall, and then turned his head to look at Xu Ran and said, "Wait a minute, there is a meeting, do you want to attend." ”

Xu Ran shook his head and said, "My reputation has not been very good recently, so I still won't go." ”

After all, he had just come out of the detention center, and if he was seen by those shareholders, he would probably make a fuss about himself again, so after thinking about it, Xu Ran decided not to go.

He Junnan walked up to Xu Ran, patted Xu Ran's shoulder with his hand, and said, "Don't worry! How to say that you are one of the young masters of Yeminghai City, no one dares to gossip about you. ”

Xu Ran still shook his head, "Forget it, I want to be clean." ”

"Well, I won't force you." After speaking, He Junnan walked away, and when he was close to the door, he suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Ran and said, "You have a good rest." ”

Then he walked straight out of the office.

When He Junnan's figure disappeared completely, Chen Mengyao's tense mood was relieved.

Xu Ran smiled, looked at Chen Mengyao and said, "You seem to be a little afraid of your cousin, don't you?" ”

Chen Mengyao shook her head, and her face became slightly complicated, "It's not fear, but respect." ”

Xu Ran nodded, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the blue sky outside the window with deep eyes, "Sometimes I really envy you, someone cares, someone cares, and you have relatives by your side when you need it most." Speaking of this, he laughed self-deprecatingly: "Maybe this is the same life!" ”

At this moment, his figure looked very bleak, and although the sun outside was bright, it could never illuminate his bleak shadow.

Everyone's life is different, and Xu Ran has lived for more than 20 years, and he never knows what childhood is, he only knows that in his dusty memory, there is a sentence called survival of the fittest.

"Hey! Why are you talking so sadly, don't you still have a cousin and other good friends, I heard my cousin say that your brother's relationship is very good. Chen Mengyao said.

Xu Ran looked out the window silently, Chen Mengyao's words He also knew that although their brotherly relationship was good, they still had to face separation after all, after all, they were men and they wanted to marry wives and have children.

Perhaps at this moment, Chen Mengyao deeply realized that the man named Xu Ran in front of him must have experienced too much sophistication, or how could he say that.

As for the story behind him, maybe only he himself knows.

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, how did you recognize that black skin at a glance." Xu Ran suddenly turned his head to look at Chen Mengyao, and found that on that delicate little face, there were wisps of sadness, which made him a little obsessed for a while.

"Oh," Chen Mengyao suddenly came back to her senses, "Actually, I could often see shadow puppets when I was a child, so I recognized them at a glance." ”

"That's right," Xu Ran nodded and walked into the lounge.

Chen Mengyao saw him walk in, hesitated, and followed.

Xu Ran looked at the light transmitted from outside, and suddenly asked Chen Mengyao behind him, "Under what circumstances can the shadow cast by the shadow puppet suddenly disappear." ”

Chen Mengyao thought for a while and said, "As long as the shadow is out of the light, it is equivalent to disappearing." ”

"What if it's in the kitchen." Xu Ran asked.

Chen Mengyao said: "Then it depends on what kind of conditions there are. ”

"The kitchen area is very small, the shadow puppets don't have to move, and people can't be in the kitchen." Xu Ran said.

"If people are not in the kitchen, how can they control shadow puppetry." Chen Mengyao couldn't understand what Xu Ran said.

"I see, I don't need to be manipulated at all." After Chen Mengyao said this, Xu Ran suddenly remembered the exhaust fan.

Chen Mengyao looked at Xu Ran suspiciously, not knowing the meaning of his words.

Xu Ran smiled and continued: "Actually, the situation at that time was that the figure was always printed on the glass, and the door was closed, so I couldn't see the layout inside at all. ”

"If I were a designer, I would definitely use everything I could use in the kitchen."

"But the kitchen is different from the hall, there are very few props that can be used in it, how did the man do it?" Chen Mengyao asked Xu Ran suspiciously.

"It is precisely because of this that this condition is exactly met." Xu Ran smiled, with a light in his eyes, and looked at the portrait hanging on the wall.

Chen Mengyao tilted her neck and thought for a moment, "What can be a shadow puppet in the kitchen that can be controlled?" ”

"You forgot, there's an exhaust fan in the kitchen." Xu Ran reminded her.

"I see, I see. The man first found the position where the shadow was projected by the door, and then fixed the shadow puppet, and connected the shadow with a thin wire to the exhaust fan, as long as the exhaust fan turned, the shadow would be hidden inside, but when the exhaust fan recovered the shadow puppet, it was not perfect, and a small piece of skin was torn off, and you happened to pick it up. ”

After listening to Chen Mengyao's analysis, Xu Ran nodded approvingly.

"It seems that you are more suitable to sit in this vice president position than I do."

Chen Mengyao hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I didn't mean that." ”

Xu Ran smiled slightly, stared at Chen Mengyao and said, "I know you didn't mean that. I was just wondering if I should retire. ”

Chen Mengyao persuaded Xu Ran, "You are still so young, and Tianwei Group also needs you." ”

Xu Ran looked at her with deep eyes, sighed, and said: "Actually, I had the heart of retreat a long time ago, and now I am even more determined to see you so good." ”

"If my cousin knows, then you can't scold me to death" Hearing Xu Ran say this, Chen Mengyao's face looked very depressed, she walked to Xu Ran's body and looked at Xu Ran with a pair of pitiful eyes, "Don't go, okay, I just want to be your assistant quietly." ”
