() Lin Manrong reflexively raised his head and glanced at the man in front of him, and a trace of surprise flashed on his face.

"Mr. Shi?"

Shi Yao's face, which looked quite gentle, couldn't help but show a shallow smile, and turned his head sideways to look at the chair in front of Lin Manrong, "You shouldn't mind if I sit across from you, right?" ”

Lin Nanrong shook his head, "If you want to drink something, I'll invite you." ”

Lin Manrong didn't have a big feeling for the man he knew unintentionally in front of him, but what Lin Manrong knew clearly was that several things that happened before were all Shi Yao's help, no matter what aspect she still owed Shi Yao a favor.

Shi Yao was not polite, and directly reached out and called a waiter over, "A cup of Americano." ”

The corners of Lin Manrong's lips rose slightly, and he suddenly felt a little strange, "Do you have anything to deal with around here?" ”

Shi Yao pretended to look calm, "Well, I just came out of a cooperation with a company here, and I wanted to come in for a cup of coffee, and I happened to see you." ”

"But ......" Shi Yao paused, his face always maintained a very gentle and comfortable feeling, and opened his mouth casually, "When I came in just now, I seemed to see a man sitting opposite you, that's Old Man Ji, right?" ”

Lin Manrong was stunned for a moment, in her impression, Shi Yao had not been in City C for a long time, and Old Man Ji was very powerful, but since Ji Citing began to take over the company's affairs, most people have already set their eyes on Ji Citing.

When Lin Manrong came back, if she hadn't specially investigated the Ji family, she might not have known about Old Man Ji's things.

Shi Yao keenly noticed that Lin Manrong was hesitating in his expression, chuckled lightly and continued to speak: "Someone mentioned Old Man Ji to me before, this person used to be a legend in C City. ”

Lin Manrong nodded, pretending to be relaxed and indifferent, "You read that right, it's him." ”

"I heard that there have been some crises in the Ji family recently, and you have solved them." Shi Yao opened his mouth slowly, and his tone was so light that it seemed to be saying what he had for breakfast today.

Lin Manrong picked up the orange juice in his hand and took a sip, always feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was going on.

Ji Citing said at the time that he would block this matter, so he ...... How did Shi Yao know?

Lin Manrong still held the cup lightly in one hand, the thoughts in his brain turned for a moment, and then the corners of his lips raised, and he didn't ask Shi Yao how he knew about this.

"Actually, the matter of the resignation company is handled by the relevant departments, and I just used to make soy sauce, probably because I have a special relationship with the resignation court, so there are always people who like to exaggerate. How can I cope with such a big company by myself? ”

Lin Manrong said slowly, between the words, it gave people a feeling as if they were telling the truth.

"I'm just hearsay, don't take it too seriously, but if you need anything in the future, you can ask me for help, and I will definitely try my best to help you."

"Thank you." Lin Manrong showed a very polite smile, and then looked at the time displayed on the phone screen, "I'm sorry, I still have some things, I have to go back to the company first." ”

"It's okay, you go get busy first."

Lin Manrong walked to the cashier counter with his mobile phone, and only walked in the direction of the company after paying the bill

in the past.

Shi Yao leaned lazily on the chair, and through the glass window on the side, he could still see Lin Manrong's back, and he couldn't help but smile on his face.

Shi Yao didn't know very well why Old Man Ji appeared in front of Lin Manrong just now, but what he knew was that Old Man Ji had a deep misunderstanding and dissatisfaction with Lin Manrong.

According to Old Man Ji's character, he would never tolerate a woman he didn't like to be with his precious grandson.

"It's kind of interesting." Shi Yao took a sip of coffee and slowly spit out four words from his mouth.

After Lin Manrong came out of the café, he went back to the company directly, and after talking to Shi Yao for a few words, Lin Manrong always felt that Shi Yao's words were a little different from before, and there was something wrong, but Lin Manrong couldn't tell what was going on.

Walking to the office, Lin Manrong didn't want to think so much, those things about Old Man Ji were enough to make her depressed and distressed, even if she thought about it again, there was no way to solve it at present.

Ji's Group, 20th Floor.

Ji Citing was reviewing the documents with his head down, his expression was focused, until there was a knock on the door outside the office, and then he spit out the word 'enter' from his mouth.

"Boss, here's the information you want." Li Wen put the documents in his hand on Ji Citing's desk.

Ji Citing didn't raise his head, nor did he respond, as if Li Wen had never come in at all.

Li Wen stood in front of Ji Citing's office desk and continued to speak: "There is news today, in the morning, Old Man Ji and Xiaoman met in the café. ”

As soon as the words came out, the movements in Ji Citing's hands suddenly stopped, slowly raised his head, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "What did you say?" ”

"We don't know exactly what Old Man Ji is looking for Lin Manrong, we don't know very well, but we just know that ...... in the process of talking."

"What happened during the conversation?"

"Old Man Ji doesn't seem to be in a lot of mood, depending on the situation, it should be something that Xiaoman said that Old Man Ji doesn't like to hear......"

"Idiot! Get out! ”

Ji Citing suddenly became annoyed, and shouted at Li Wen with anger.

Li Wen shuddered for a while, and his sudden annoyance almost made his legs go weak and fell directly to the ground, and he quickly slipped out of the office.

Thinking about it carefully, he actually didn't say anything wrong, this is what the person who followed Lin Manrong said, he conveyed it.

As soon as Li Wen's figure disappeared into the office, Ji Citing heard an 'oops', which was accompanied by a sound that seemed to be someone falling to the ground.

Li Wen got up from the ground, and couldn't help but rejoice in his heart that he was lucky that he didn't fall in the office, otherwise he would really be embarrassed and thrown into the office of **oss.

In the office, as soon as Li Wen's words came out just now, the air pressure in the entire office seemed to be as low as zero.

Ji Citing was still holding a pen in his hand, and the other hand was resting on the desk casually, and he felt angry when he thought of what Li Wen had just said.

What is called, what should Xiaoman say, what does Old Man Ji don't like to hear?

The old man has always had a big opinion about Xiaoman, and naturally, no matter what she says, Old Man Ji will definitely feel that it is wrong.

Not to mention......

You don't have to think about it to know that there must be nothing good for Old Man Ji to find Lin Manrong.

Go home from work

Later, Ji Citing originally did not plan to mention to Lin Manrong about Old Man Ji.

After a period of recuperation, Ji Citing's wound is almost healed, and there are not as many things as before.

After dinner, Lin Manrong walked to Lin Zhuo's bedroom, and at this moment Lin Zhuo was still holding a sheet music in his hand.

"Sister, do you have something to do?" Lin Zhuo put the things in his hand on the table and asked with a puzzled expression.

The corners of Lin Manrong's lips raised, and he didn't answer Lin Zhuo's question directly, but reached out and pulled the chair next to him away, "It's nothing, I just want to ask if you're tired from studying lately." ”

Lin Zhuo glanced at the sheet music on the table, "It's okay, but I plan to take the conservatory of music when the time comes." ”

Lin Manrong nodded, Lin Zhuo is very talented in musical instruments, this is what she has always known, "Whatever you want to do, just do it." ”

"That's right, Xiao Zhuo." Lin Manrong continued to open his mouth with a hesitant expression.

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

"What do you think...... How about sending you to school abroad? ”

Lin Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and it took a while to react, and his delicate face couldn't help but show a touch of surprise.

"Sister, is something happening? How can I go to school abroad? Lin Zhuo asked with a puzzled face.

Lin Manrong smiled, pretending to be very casual, and reached out to pat Lin Zhuo's shoulder, "What do you think?" What can I do, I just thought, I have always been in a foreign country before, and I know more about the good colleges abroad. ”

Lin Zhuo hesitated, there are several conservatories abroad that Lin Zhuo has always wanted to go to.

"I've thought about it, but I don't really want to leave City C, sister, you finally came back from a foreign country, and now I'm going abroad again......"

Lin Manrong almost understood the meaning of Lin Zhuo's words, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

"I know what you want to say, but you're just going to study in a foreign country, and you're not going to stay abroad all the time, if you have this idea, I can help you get the formalities through in these two months." Lin Manrong continued to explain, on the surface, it was calm, as if nothing happened.

Just these two months?!

"Sister, let me think about it again, I'm not very sure about these things now, and I can't give you an answer right away."

"It's okay, you think about it yourself, then I'll go out first, you rest early."

"Good"

Lin Zhuo stared at Lin Manrong's back and gradually disappeared at the door, he still felt something strange in his heart, how could he suddenly mention this matter to him? And just mentioned that the procedures can be completed in just two months, Lin Zhuo always feels that these things are too anxious.

Walking out of Lin Zhuo's room, Lin Manrong couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his mind was in chaos.

Although Old Man Ji promised to give her five months, after today's incident, Lin Manrong was still worried that Old Man Ji would do something at that time.

"Xiaoman."

A low voice suddenly sounded from the side, and Lin Manrong reflexively looked to the side, only to see Ji Citing's tall figure there, still wearing pajamas.

"What's wrong?" Lin Manrong asked.

"It's okay, I just went to the study to get some things, and I happened to pass by Lin Zhuo's room."
