Chapter 71: Mercy to the Subordinates

As soon as he heard her question, he finally seemed to find a sense of presence in her, raised his chin proudly with his hands in his pockets, and peeked at her with his spare eyes,

"Do you think it's so easy to meet Miss Zhou?" As soon as these words came out, Jian Ran suddenly realized, she said that she always felt that someone was helping her, but she didn't expect it to be Lan Zirin!

She furrowed her delicate face, almost imperceptibly retreated a few steps, and her words revealed a thick vigilance,

"Why are you helping me?" Lan Zirin looked at Jian Ran's reaction, his fragile little heart was hit by 10,000 crits, he pursed his lips and said lightly,

"'Little Leaf', I'm so sad." Hearing this long-lost title, Jian Ran suddenly remembered that Lan Zirin graduated from the American Academy of Visual Arts, and was in the same school as her, she quickly searched for memories in her mind, and then suddenly realized,

"'Gentleman's Orchid'?!"

"Hmm." He raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, feigning to be angry, it took so long to remember, it was really unconscionable.

Strictly speaking, the two met in a competition held by the academy, and they gave each other such a nickname because of their respective works.

"Didn't your son inherit his father's business?! How did you come to China? "The two of them haven't seen each other for about five years, and Jian Ran has never remembered anyone, and she can't be blamed.

Lan Zirin looked at Jian Ran's face seriously, and teased: "It's not that I heard that you returned to China, so I chased after you." ”

"Don't tease me." Jian Ran's previous precautions were completely removed, and she walked on the slightly cold street with Lan Zirin, chatting enthusiastically about their experiences over the years, and before she knew it, the sky was completely dark, she stopped under a bus stop sign, took out her mobile phone and dialed Su Xiao's number.

Lan Zi Rin held her mobile phone by herself, and the mellow magnetic sound had a warm taste,

"Or I'll send you back."

"No need, as punishment for your tricks on me before!" She blinked mischievously and spat out her pink tongue, and the night breeze blew and a ginkgo biloba fell on top of her head, and she didn't know it.

Lan Zirin stretched out her hand to take it for her, she didn't hide this time, and when she heard him sigh, she had no choice but to compromise,

"Okay." Soon after, the flamboyant black Maybach stopped on the side of the road, Jian Ran stretched out his hand to wave goodbye to Lan Zirin, turned around and saw the man who opened the car door and opened his lips lightly.

"Jue Shen?" She furrowed her eyebrows curiously, how could he always have time to pick her up in place of Su Xiao recently. Huo Jueshen hadn't heard Jian Ran call him that for a long time, especially in front of other men, his cold and resolute face lines suddenly softened, and a pair of eagle eyes stared at her with affection.

He stretched out his hand to take her into his arms, and watched her bend over the car, and when she got up and walked around the front of the car, the afterglow swept coldly over Lan Zirin, and the sharpness in his eyes showed his strong possessiveness and sovereignty.

He got into the driver's seat, fastened his seatbelt, and slowly drove away from the scene. Huo Jueshen looked at the road ahead, his handsome eyebrows frowned slightly, why did he feel that there were more and more men around Jian Ran recently?

It's a real headache. The woman next to him looked at his deeply furrowed eyebrows, and spoke without thinking,

"The company is in trouble?"

"No, the trouble is around." He stiffened his face and spoke bluntly.

"Huh?" Jian Ran couldn't react a little, couldn't keep up with his brain circuit, stared at his cold and resolute side face for a long time, and then his tepid words came,

"Why are there always men looking for you?" Although the voice was low, the thick vinegar smell that accompanied it fell heavily on her heart as his clear magnetic voice fell heavily on her heart, and she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth when she looked at his indifferent and awkward expression.

I didn't expect this cold and arrogant man to be so cute. She turned her head out of the car window and didn't say much, just looked at the fleeting scenery outside the window.

When she returned to the villa to eat, it was rare for Jian Ran not to eat by herself in a hurry, she sat at the dining table, quietly ate the dishes that Huo Jue had given herself, and asked him,

"Have you arranged the competition?" There was a deep sound in my ears

"Hmm", she bit off a piece of meat on the ribs, cheering each other on,

"Let's do it together!" Although she knew that it was she who needed more encouragement, she still wanted to give him verbal encouragement.

"Hmm." It was still a faint voice, and the joy in his voice was overflowing. Time passed quickly and imperceptibly, as if in the blink of an eye, this grand competition was ushered in.

On the day I went out, there were many reporters outside the villa without incident, and the black-clad bodyguards who had not been seen for a long time stood outside the door, isolating the reporters and forming a safe circle.

Su Tezhu stood next to the car, opened the door, Huo Jueshen and Jian Ran got into the car one after another, the car drove away from the villa quickly, Jian Ran looked back at the crowd behind her, and suddenly thought of the scene on the wedding day, and the sudden palpitations made her twist her eyebrows and cover her heart.

The man next to her caught her abnormality, and his big thick palm wrapped her weak and boneless little hand, and with a gentle grip, the warm temperature passed through the palm into her palm, and she came back to her senses and stopped looking at those people.

The black Maybach drove on the avenue for more than ten minutes, and by the time they arrived, the game scene was already bustling.

There were a lot of people at the entrance of the competition, in addition to the people who came to participate in the competition, there were also legal representatives of various companies and small groups, and there were many representative business leaders, but the most of them were journalists.

Huo Jueshen took Jian Ran's men and got out of the car, and noticed that the reporters on their side immediately surrounded him, scrambling to ask: "I don't know what kind of surprise Mr. Huo has prepared for this competition?" ”

"As we all know, Mrs. Huo will also represent Rosewood in the competition, I wonder if Mr. Huo will remember his emotions and show mercy to his subordinates?" A lot of questions scrambled to get into her ears in the noisy space, and Jian Ran knew that she would inevitably hear questions that made her unhappy, but now that she really heard it, she still felt a little embarrassed in her heart.

"This is a fair and just match, and I believe that my Huo's contestants will not be soft on any opponent out of any selfishness." Huo Jueshen's pot was particularly beautiful, and the indifference and sharpness between his words were undisguised, and his eagle eyes swept coldly over the reporters around him.

Suddenly, all the reporters stepped back in fear, he looked at the road that appeared, and hooked his lips coldly, and led Jian Ran inside.

There was a long red carpet outside the gate, and there were neat welcome ladies standing on both sides, and the stalls were sprinkled with fine flower petals.

Entering the venue safely, Jian Ran saw the magnificent team in the audience at a glance, she said goodbye to Huo Jueshen, walked to the place that Qin Ran helped her and sat down, there was still an empty seat beside her, she looked around, and couldn't guess who it would be.

Huo Jueshen's team happened to be opposite Rosewood, he sat in the first row domineeringly, his slender legs folded, his hands casually on his knees, two thumbs around him intentionally or unintentionally, and his grim face stared at the stage in the center of the venue expressionlessly.

There was no one around him, and only Su Xiao sat in the back row, and in the position behind him, the third row was full of people from the team.

Sure enough, it is the big guy in Licheng, the treatment is different, the noble temperament, the sharp eyes, like a king above 10,000 people, domineering is still the same.

The person sitting on the judges' bench Jian Ran only knew one, and that was Zhou Yu, who was still beautiful and cold, and his posture of quietly waiting for the competition to start was so elegant.

After a while, the hall was full of people, and the competition finally kicked off, and the supporters announced the start of the competition after introducing the judges one by one with a cliché opening statement.

The theme of this edition of the competition is:

"Childlike innocence", when Jian Ran made this work, he thought of getting along with Liu Qingfan in the village for just a few days, which was warm and full of childlike fun.

The works brought by major companies are very novel, but after a round of preliminary competition, Jian Ran saw that no one on the judges' bench showed his wife's surprise.

After rounds of elimination, in the finals, the ranking of Rosewood and Huo's appeared in the last two, which made many people talk about it.

"There's a good show, I don't know who wins."

"Was it deliberately arranged, it was put together." All kinds of voices rushed into Jian Ran's ears, and she looked up at Huo Jueshen opposite, and found that he had been sitting upright with a waveless face.

The host called Jian Ran's number plate, she stood up, took a deep breath, and slowly walked onto the stage. She saw that Huo Jueshen's gaze finally moved, and she followed herself all the way to the stage, her eyes full of encouragement.

Because the previous screening did not require designers to come on stage, now Jian Ran faced the judges in front of him, his heart beat like thunder, and his breath was short.

She put her hands at her sides, mustered up the courage to speak, and her voice was still stuck in her throat, when she saw the door of the hall being pushed open from the outside, and two long figures appeared in the doorway, watching her from afar.

The two men were about the same height, carrying the sunlight on their backs, casting two staggered shadows in front of them, and the sound of the door opening attracted everyone's attention.

Standing at the door was none other than Liu Chengxi, the belated representative of Rosewood Company. The man next to him was a black-haired, blue-eyed half-blood demon - Lan Zirin.

Both men were dressed in modest suits and both wore equally dazzling stud earrings on their ears. Jian Ran looked at the two people who appeared together, twisted her eyebrows slightly, and then quickly came back to her senses, picked up her own work on the booth, and introduced it to everyone without hurrying.

"This design piece, I call it 'Reed Flowing Firefly', this design is inspired by my experience with a child on a reed field......" When she told everyone about her design concept, Liu Chengxi and Lan Zirin were already seated, sitting in the empty seat next to Jian Ranhe.

Everyone looked at the white bracelet on Jian Ran's hand and liked it very much, and Zhou Yu on the judges' bench nodded almost imperceptibly.

After she finished introducing, followed by Huo's contestants, Jian Ran looked at the woman on stage, it was indeed not Lina, she looked at the design works in the hands of the woman, its design concept and design art are more novel and unique than hers, she secretly admired, and felt that even if she lost, she was convinced.

In the end, all the finalists took the stage to wait for the voting results. The waiting time was very painful, and finally the host took the card in his hand, and the final result was about to come out.

"The ultimate winner is ......" The host dragged his words, and everyone held their breath,

"The ultimate winner is ......"
