Chapter 8: Prey

Wen Ran didn't know that Yan Wangshu had solved most of their troubles in the ten minutes he had been sitting here.

When Yan Wangshu left, his gaze slid faintly over Wen Ran, although he didn't stay too long, but Wen Ran's heart shook slightly, and even his eyelashes trembled.

As he passed by, Wen Ran gave way to the side slightly, smelling the nice smell of cedar on his body.

She comforted herself: what comes is safe.

After Chen Xing sat down, he first apologized to Mrs. Wang, and then accompanied Mrs. Wang to choose the original stone.

Wen Ran ran around, but Mrs. Wang not only didn't pick the original stone she wanted, but her face became more and more ugly.

Finally left stupidly.

As soon as Mrs. Wang left, Li Wan ran over.

She didn't wear full makeup, and her face looked very ugly, but she wore red lipstick, which was okay.

I don't know how long she waited beside her.

Li Wan bent down and apologized: "Teacher Chen, I ate the wrong thing last night, I had diarrhea until I collapsed, and I was in the hospital for an infusion last night." ”

Chen Xing did not express understanding for her remarks, and she said in a rushing tone: "You were in a coma during the infusion?" ”

Chen Xing usually has a cold and indifferent attitude, but he has never lost his temper, this is the first time Wen Ran has seen him.

Li Wan lowered her head, her voice choked aggrievedly: "I'm sorry, I... I just think I can get there on time, I don't know why the road from the hospital to the company is particularly congested, I've ......"

"You think you can?" Chen Xing blocked Li Wan's words in one sentence, "Then did you do it?" ”

Chen Xing didn't want to hear the reason.

She has no obligation to listen.

Rationally speaking, the workplace only looks at the results, not the process.

Li Wan paused, lowered her head, and said sorry again.

Chen Xing's face was not good-looking, but there were a few colleagues from other departments around her, so she didn't blame any more, and dropped a sentence: "You take Wen Ran to return the stone to the warehouse." ”

"Okay, Mr. Chen."

After Chen Xing left, Li Wan wiped the corners of her eyes with her fingers.

She walked forward: "Wen Ran, come here, I will teach you the process of returning the stone to the warehouse." ”

The stone return to the warehouse is to confirm the return of the stone that was out of the warehouse when the customer selected the rough stone just now.

Li Wan is very experienced and explains every step very clearly.

After Li Wan signed, the person from the stone warehouse said, "Wait a minute, I still need to confirm it here." ”

Li Wan nodded, and sat weakly in the position of the original Mrs. Wang.

She slowly buried her head, as if she was crying again.

Tears of adults, polite people know how to avoid it, Wen Ran just quietly waited on the side.

During this period, a delicate receptionist came over and took away the remaining desserts and cups on the table without saying a word.

After a while, Li Wan's mobile phone rang, she took a look at it, and walked quickly to the outermost floor-to-ceiling window to answer.

Wen Ran looked over and noticed the back of Li Wan's hand, where there was still an infusion needle.

Li Wan stumbled as she spoke, as if she was dizzy and couldn't stand, and took two steps back against the wall.

Wen Ran hurriedly ran over, and Li Wan was already squatting on the carpet.

Li Wan held her forehead with one hand and tried to control her emotions into the phone receiver: "Mom, I'm really fine, it's true, it's just ordinary gastroenteritis... I had breakfast in the morning... I took a leave of absence today and didn't go to the company, and I want to sleep a little more now... Okay, I know, I'll take care of myself..."

Then, Li Wan hung up the phone, her head pressed against her knees, and her shoulders twitched slightly.

Wen Ran originally wanted to help her, but now she is in a bit of a dilemma, and she doesn't know whether she should go up or not.

Or Li Wan raised her head first: "Can you get me a tissue?" Thank you. ”

Wen Ran turned around and took two printed tissues from a small golden plate and handed them to her.

Li Wan sniffed and stood up.

The floor-to-ceiling windows are printed with the luxurious scene in the exhibition hall, and the window is clear and empty.

Li Wan felt that she had fallen to the bottom, she looked out of the floor-to-ceiling window: "I originally calculated the infusion time, but I wanted to go to the company early to prepare, so I adjusted the infusion speed, but in the end, it led to the infusion, I have been... I didn't wait for the loss to finish leaving, but I was still late. ”

People who are sick are particularly vulnerable.

Wen Ran listened to her words, and waited for her to blow her nose before she spoke: "Actually, when you are in the car, when you know that you will be late, you can call your colleagues first, so that everyone has time to prepare, and it will not be so that when Mrs. Wang arrives, everyone can't contact you, and you are helpless." ”

Li Wan rolled her eyes and looked at Wen Ran with red eyes and some surprise.

Li Wan said that in addition to expressing her grievances, she also wanted this gentle-looking girl to comfort her.

But Wen Ran didn't, she was rationally analyzing this matter, and it didn't end there.

Li Wan pursed her lips, she did have time to call the company to explain, but she didn't, and even when her colleague called, she didn't hear it, but deliberately didn't answer.

She held on to the luck mentality, hoping that Mrs. Wang could wait a while, and when she arrived, then the project might still be hers.

Li Wan thought of her mother who was far away from her hometown, remembered Chen Xing's attitude just now, closed her eyes and choked up: "Yes, I don't want to miss this opportunity, I did it myself, I deserve it, I don't deserve anyone's understanding and pity, I have to pay for my actions, right?" ”

“......”

Li Wan's words were not aimed at Wen Ran, but her tone was indeed aggressive, and she whispered sorry to Wen Ran: "I'm sorry, I'm not ...... you"

Wen Ran shook his head to indicate that it was okay, then turned around and took two pieces of paper and handed them to her: "I think you should find a way to solve the problem first." ”

Wen Ran felt that since the matter had already happened, it was useless to consume excess emotions, and it was better to use energy to solve and remedy.

"Resolved?" Li Wan shook her head, feeling that the wood was already in the boat, "There's no way, Teacher Chen..."

Li Wan wanted to speak and stopped, she looked at Wen Ran.

Wen Ran's face was gentle, her eyes were clear, the sunlight outside the floor-to-ceiling window fell on her face, and her skin was so clear that she couldn't even see her pores.

The feeling Li Wan got from Wen Ran was something she had never encountered since she joined the company.

There is more or less competition between colleagues, and everyone usually seems to have a good relationship, but they are all familiar workplace social etiquette.

But Wen Ran is different, she seems to be out of the fence of workplace competition, in the state of an observer, without distractions, serious, and rational analysis for her.

Her emotions began to fade, and she sincerely analyzed the current situation with Wen Ran.

Li Wan rubbed the tissue on her hand: "Do you know why our group is the most unpromising in the department?" ”

Regarding the turn of the topic, Wen Ran shook his head a little puzzled.

Li Wan: "Teacher Chen's ability is actually not below the other team leaders, but she has a weak temperament and disdains to compete for good projects and maintain interpersonal relationships, so most of the projects in our group have always been left over from the other two groups. ”

“......”

"I heard that Mr. Yan is also here today, Mr. Chen... She won't intercede for me because of me. ”

Wen Ran finally understood Li Wan's brain circuit.

She felt that the only way to solve it now was for Chen Xing, as her leader, to help her say a few kind words, or to keep her.

Li Wan sniffed: "I should be leaving 'Carlisle'." ”

Wen Ran had a different idea: "I think instead of putting your hopes on others, you should work harder yourself." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Mrs. Wang didn't pick the original stone today, if you get Mrs. Wang done, there should be a chance to turn around."

"But Mrs. Wang......" Li Wan didn't finish speaking, Mrs. Wang was too difficult.

But that has happened, and there seems to be no other way out.

Li Wan nodded, thoughtful: "I'll try." ”

After a while, the person from the stone warehouse confirmed it and came over with the tablet: "Teacher Li, sign it." ”

Li Wan signed with an electronic pen, and she didn't take two steps and felt dizzy, but fortunately, Wen Ran quickly supported her.

"Don't worry, you better go to the hospital first."

Li Wan refused: "I'm hungry because I had diarrhea last night, didn't eat breakfast this morning, and was hungry." ”

“......”

"I'll just go to the café and eat a bagel later."

Wen Ran didn't say much to persuade him.

Li Wan wanted to go to the café to eat and invited Wen Ran to join her, and Wen Ran said that she wanted to stay a little longer.

She hadn't taken a good look when she came in, and she wasn't always here.

Li Wan pointed to the reception staff next to her and reminded: "When you see what they have tidied up, you have to go out." ”

Wen Ran nodded.

The jewelry on the left side of the exhibition hall is the company's haute couture collection, which Wen Ran has seen in magazines or columns. She wasn't very interested in them, just hurriedly using the naked eye to feel their colored light and details.

Further on, there is the exhibition map.

The jewelry in the exhibition is collectible, and you need to make an appointment in advance to see the real thing.

Wen Ran was more interested in this piece.

She saw natural Burmese pigeon's blood ruby rings, unburned Sri Lankan sapphire necklaces, emerald-cut blue diamond rings, and more.

What surprised Wen Ran the most was a string of pearl necklaces.

The necklace consists of 115 round pearls and 7 pear-shaped pearls, and the back clasp is set with an old mineral-cut diamond weighing approximately 7 carats.

Wen Ran bent down slightly to observe the details of the pearl necklace.

When Yan Wangshu and Qin Xiao walked out of the stone warehouse, there were no reception staff in the hall.

The huge exhibition hall is full of refractions.

Gemstones, diamonds, crystals, lights.

Wen Ran was wearing a white shirt, the hem of the clothes was tucked into the light-colored jeans, the small waist was as thin as if a pair of hands could be wrapped, and on her feet were a pair of flesh-pink light stiletto heels.

She bent over slightly, the bow dangling from the neckline dangling on her chest, and the slim jeans outlined the round and beautiful hips.

Qin Xiao clasped a thick stack of materials on his arm and was speaking.

Yan Wangshu stopped suddenly, and his tone was very light, as if he was talking to himself: "Three times." ”

Qin Xiao still heard Yan Wangshu's 'three times', and he quickly flipped through the paper in his hand: "Mr. Yan, this... It should be the second time there was an error. ”

The corners of Yan Wangshu's mouth pulled out a faint smile: "You go back to the office first." ”

I haven't finished this pile yet.

But Qin Xiao didn't ask much, he had been by Yan Wangshu's side for many years, and he knew what to do.

Qin Xiao buckled the cover of the folder, didn't take two steps forward, and saw a person next to the display cabinet, dressed like a freshly graduated green onion intern, I don't know which department it is, the customers are all gone and still staying here.

As soon as he thought about it, he looked sideways in the direction of Yan Wangshu.

His boss stood not far away, his hands clasped around his chest, and looked at the 'intern' with a smile in his eyes.

Smiling?

His boss is a person who can't laugh in his eyes.

Qin Xiao was a little stunned, but when Yan Wangshu moved his gaze, he quickly turned around and fled.

He remembered that there was a mistake on the way to the bidding last time, and his heart was always hanging in his throat.

But at that time, the legs were still controlled by the brain.

Unlike now, he feels that his legs have become self-conscious, self-exerting, and his brain is full of his boss's appearance of staring at his prey.
