Chapter 101: A Familiar Stranger

Under the afterglow of the sunset, Xu Mo lit a cigarette and looked into the distance with empty eyes, for a whole day and a night, she was still silent in her own world.

At this time, he was even a little jealous, jealous that that person had walked into her heart so silently.

The smoke cleared, and in a dim way, he glanced at her who had gotten up on the big bed, her hair was messy, and hurriedly snuffed out the cigarette butt and came in.

"It's really not an ordinary cowardice, why don't you snatch it back if you care so much?"

The thick ridicule spread out in the room, and Lin Xiran blinked his swollen eyes and glanced at him lightly, turned around and walked into the bathroom.

At the moment of closing, he said, "Help me order a package." ”

Xu Mo sat down on the sofa with an expressionless face, and was finally willing to talk to him normally, which was the only normal sentence she had said since returning from the banquet hall.

The slender fingertips picked up the phone, opened his mouth to report a hotel special menu, glanced at the direction of the bathroom, and specially ordered to cook a stomach-nourishing porridge to come up.

Ten minutes later, Lin Xiran, who came out in a bathrobe, changed into the clothes he had prepared for her and came out, looking at the dining car in the living room suspiciously.

"This is the set meal you ordered?"

Looking at her face full of doubts, a trace of embarrassment flashed in Xu Mo's eyes and said, "Well, this hotel is really affordable." ”

Thinking back to the dishes she liked to eat just now, but forgetting that she had ordered so much, her slender fingertips pushed the stomach-nourishing porridge to Lin Xiran.

"Let's drink this first."

Lin Xiran, who was sitting on the side, resumed his previous silence again, quietly took the porridge and drank it spoonful by spoonful, and ate a few bites of the food on the dining car according to his personal preferences, without looking at Xu Mo again for the whole meal.

The quiet and harmonious scene Xu Mo was not annoyed, but just quietly watched her finish eating, and then took a few bites of each dish with chopsticks.

As if talking to himself, he said: "It seems that the cooking skills of the chef of this star-rated hotel are also very ordinary." ”

But Lin Xiran returned to the room by himself, and when he came out again, he put all the cash in his wallet in front of the dining car and turned to leave, as if there was no Xu Mo in the room at all.

"What do you mean?"

Xu Mo got up and grabbed Lin Xiran step by step, forcing her to look at him, telling her with his eyes that what she had just done completely annoyed him.

What kind of character?

The person who betrayed her was not him, guarding her and taking care of her, but she was still like this, why?

Or is he the man who can come and go in her eyes Lin Xiran, and there is no him in her eyes.

"I have to go to work tomorrow morning, I'll go back first, and I'll go to the front desk to settle the bill later."

The brief reply explained the money on the dining car and her movements at the moment, but did not mention Xu Mo at all, which was about to push him into the stranger's position again.

His fingertips gripped her arm slightly, and his eyes stared at her fiercely, as if he wanted to see something in her face or was already disappointed.

"It's okay for you all to go anywhere!"

At this time, Lin Xiran suddenly laughed, is it okay? Why did he say such domineering words, she remembered clearly that they were just familiar strangers at this time.

It's not necessarily much stronger than her and Ling Hao.

His eyes flashed with stubbornness, and his fingertips used all his strength to break Xu Mo's fingers one by one, and said in a light tone: "Mr. Xu, you are drunk before you drink." ”

The alienated attitude made it difficult for Xu Mo to get closer, and he just stood in place and looked at her with empty eyes.

In just two days, the news of Ling Hao's engagement spread in different versions in Ling's family, as for the engagement object, some said that it was a hotel tycoon, some said that it was the director's daughter, and some said that it was the company's front desk, and there were different opinions for a while.

Only the employees of the planning department are worried, they have always been deeply cared for by Lin Xiran and Ling Hao, and they enjoy paid leave and various welfare subsidies that other departments do not have in Ling's family.

Of course, Linda is the most worried among this group, on the one hand, she is worried about how much Director Lin knows about this matter, and on the other hand, she will face the risk of losing her job when the planning department is declining.

Of course, what she couldn't understand the most was that Mr. Ling was still courteous to Director Lin a few days ago, why did he suddenly get engaged in just a few days?

And Director Lin, who got the news for the first time, did not appear in the company for two consecutive days, and what happened is only known to the two parties.

"Hey, do you think it's better for us to resign first, or wait for the new young lady to attack the planning department?"

"If you want me to say, it's better to strike first."

"However, Director Lin has no news yet, it's been two days."

Listening to the whispering outside, Linda closed the door of the director's office and glanced at the people who took the lead, and said in a loud voice: "It's really lively, it's nothing more than the rumor of Mr. Ling's engagement, how can it be said that the planning department has changed." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at me, I saw that you were not talking, and even though Ling was always the chairman's son, Director Lin has always been a celebrity in front of the chairman, and many times Mr. Ling made mistakes, it was Director Lin who came out.

If you start from the chairman's side, the planning department is safe and sound, but I don't know when Director Lin will appear.

"Linda, make me a cup of coffee!"

Lin Xiran, who was dressed in professional clothes in front of everyone, walked quickly, and in just a few seconds, he had already appeared in front of the office door, and his capable short hair seemed to be more energetic, and he couldn't tell that he had just fallen out of love.

Especially the light makeup on the face is very good, and the whole person instantly looks more shrewd and smart, and she is like a professional queen.

Realizing the surprise in the eyes of everyone behind him, Lin Xiran hesitantly stopped and said, "Again, I won't allow the planning department to change under any circumstances, and as for those personal issues, please don't worry." ”

With this reassurance, the entire planning department was quiet in an instant, Lin Xiran pushed open the door and walked into the office expressionlessly, glancing at the withered flowers in front of the sofa, and his eyes fell into contemplation.

Maybe Xu Mo's words are really good, they have nothing to do with each other, so why bother staying in the Ling clan?

It's time for her to go out and have a look, it's time to plan for her future life, but how should she come up with it on the chairman's side.

"Director, your coffee."

Linda came in with coffee and looked at Lin Xiran carefully, bent on finding some clues from her face.

Lin Xiran called softly at Linda's strange eyes: "Linda, what's wrong?" ”

Lin Xiran, who is used to her big grin, really can't get used to her cautious appearance, and always feels that if she doesn't speak first, she is afraid that Linda will hold back her out.

"Director, there are rumors outside that Mr. Ling..."

"He is engaged, and his fiancΓ©e is An Xiaomei from the previous front desk." Seeing her spitting out, Lin Xiran simply took over the topic and helped her speak, looking at her playfully and then?

"An Xiaomei? How could it be her, Director, are you sure it's really An Xiaomei? ”

As soon as she heard that it was the well-behaved and lovely An Xiaomei who snatched Mr. Ling, Linda was not calm, how could this be, An Xiaomei had always said that she admired Director Lin before, why was it her.

Really angry, Linda turned around and walked out, thinking that if it didn't work, she must help Director Lin ask in person.

"Linda!"

Watching Linda walk out angrily, Lin Xiran hurriedly called Linda, thinking that if she was allowed to rush out so stupidly, she was afraid that something would happen, not to mention how An Xiaomei was a person, and the current situation of the planning department alone was enough for Linda to suffer some grievances.

Not to mention her girl, who is always stupid and an enemy on weekdays, but in this case, there are so many people who want to see her deflated.

"Director, I'm going to ask Xiaomei, how can she do this to you."

Lin Xiran looked at Linda helplessly and said: "An Xiaomei is Director An's daughter, you don't want to get involved in this matter, as for me and Mr. Ling, you also know that it was not suitable from the beginning." ”

Linda needs time to digest this sentence, how could An Xiaomei become An Dong's daughter overnight, and President Ling's feelings for the director have always been in her eyes, why is it suddenly not suitable.

Seeing Linda's struggle, Lin Xiran sat down on the side in no hurry, and asked in a light tone: "Linda, have you ever thought about being alone or changing the environment?" ”

Since she has made up her mind to leave the Ling family, Lin Xiran has to plan well for these backbones under her command, and Linda is simple-natured, and now she is very hostile to Ling Hao and An Xiaomei, she really doesn't dare to leave her alone in the Ling family.

If Linda really has the idea of changing the environment, she might as well prepare a letter of recommendation in advance and find a suitable job.

"Director, you don't plan to leave the Ling family, isn't this too cheap An Xiaomei, this little goblin?"

Lin Xiran, who was staring at the desktop, shook his head silently, forget it, let's wait until she talks to Chairman Ling before mentioning it, for the sake of today, I still have to restrain Linda's insignificant temperament.

Glancing at Linda, she said, "Don't mention these brainless words in the future, and don't mention the engagement of Mr. Ling." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she waved her hand to leave, and continued to stare at the petals on the table, as if she saw their delicate appearance through the way they were lying on the table at this time.

Flowers bloom and fall sometimes, perhaps this is the petals do their best to dance with the stamens, leaving the most beautiful and best moments for it.

Hearing that Director Lin came to work in the company, An Xiaomei took the time to hurriedly come to the planning department, and rushed directly into Lin Xiran's office regardless of Linda's disdainful gaze.

"Director Lin, I have something I want to talk to you about alone."

"An Xiaomei, don't go too far, our Director Lin definitely doesn't want to see you!"

Lin Xiran raised his head and looked at the two people who hurriedly rushed into the office, glared at Linda expressionlessly, motioned for her to prepare coffee, got up and came to the sofa and motioned for An Xiaomei to sit down and said.

This is the second time she has seen the person in front of her, and it is also the first time she has looked at An Xiaomei so closely.

I have to say that she is indeed very cute, sitting there like a very delicate doll, especially with a pair of big eyes fluttering and blinking.

"Director Lin, in fact, my engagement with Mr. Ling is fake!"
