Chapter 32 The person is mine

When Yan Nian returned to his workstation and contacted Xu Mi through WeChat, the girl was typing on the keyboard behind him.

Not long after, I received a long string of messages from Xu Mi.

I estimate it to be around two hundred words.

The general meaning is that he was in a bad mood last night and pulled her to complain, which was rude, and he hoped she would forgive him and keep it a secret.

Yan Nian didn't feel how sincere her apology was literally.

Yan Nian is generally not interested in these trivial matters. Once it’s over, it’s over. She is not the kind of person who likes gossip.

I want to end the chat with an OK expression.

Xu Mi is straightforward and has no ulterior motives.

I hate anyone to death and I won't hold back when criticizing anyone.

Perhaps he felt her expression was unreliable, so he started blabbering again: [Please don't tell anyone, or I'll bite you.]

“…”

Perhaps it was because the arrogant Xu Mi had left a deep impression on her that after a long time of contact, she began to show her childish nature. The contrast was so great that Yan Nian was suddenly amused by the news.

Xu Mi: [Did you hear that?]

Yan Nian replied seriously: [I know, don’t worry!]

Unconsciously, her relationship with Xu Mi was gradually getting closer.

After packing up and getting ready to leave work in the evening, Xu Mi stretched out in the back and said, "Finally, I can rest for two days."

Yan Nian looked at the calendar and it was Friday again.

Tomorrow is Saturday, and she plans to go to Huajiayuan to stay with her grandmother for two days.

Send a message to Xu Ke asking if he has time to go together.

Xu Ke replied that a classmate was getting married and he was already very successful.

Yan Nian cleaned up his workstation and saw a message from Ma Xiao ten minutes ago on his phone: [Are you off work yet?]

Then asked: [I'm passing by Mingyu No. 1, can I take you back? ]

Yan Nian replied: [No thanks! I'll need a long time.]

Ma Xiao replied almost instantly: [It’s okay, I’ll wait for you.]

When Yan Nian saw the news, it was as if a cloud of turbid gas instantly rose from his heart. He couldn't describe the feeling, and he packed his things absent-mindedly.

Xu Mi was ready. She slid over on the chair with her phone in hand and bumped her with her elbow.

Yan Nian looked at her irritably.

Xu Mi was completely oblivious to her discomfort. She said "I'm sorry" in a dignified manner, then excitedly showed her her Moments with her almond-shaped eyes wide open. "Yan Nian, I accidentally posted your photo on Moments last night. Look, so many people have been asking about it. Even Mr. Zhou liked it."

Yan Nian took a quick glance and immediately recognized the first 'z' avatar who liked the post among the densely packed small squares.

As You Jia was preparing to leave work, he deliberately pushed his chair, causing it to hit the desk with a loud noise. Bai Eryi glanced at him and walked away with his butt twisted.

Xu Mi also rolled her eyes: "Ugly people are more likely to do bad things."

Affected by You Jia's mood, Xu Mi moved her chair away and said, "I'm leaving. Please turn off the lights later."

Yan Nian put her work badge into her bag and sat for a while.

Liang Yu asked, "Aren't you going to get off work?"

Yan Nian raised his head: "Right away."

Liang Yu rarely talks to others. After asking questions, he picks up his bag and punches out.

She was thinking about Ma Xiao and picked up her phone to reply: [Sorry, I'm not sure when I'll get off work. You can go home first. You don't have to send me off.]

She really didn't want to drag another person into this because of Xu Yiqing.

This is very rude and unfair.

Ma Xiao didn't reply to her again, and Yan Nian thought he had left.

Unexpectedly, Ma Xiao came directly to the company and had tea in Zhou Ran's office.

Zhou Ran sent her a message asking her to come over because Mr. Ma was looking for her.

Yan Nian almost broke the threshold of the general manager's office today. Thinking about facing them, he didn't want to go in at all.

She went in after someone knocked on the door.

Ma Xiao was sitting on the sofa in Zhou Ran's lounge area, chatting. There was a sudden sense of awkwardness between the two people, who looked and felt so different from each other.

A man with a buzz cut, looking a little mature, sat there with his head held high and his chest puffed out, his masculinity could be felt from a distance.

A calm and composed man with a rebellious youthful look between his brows.

"Mr. Zhou." Yan Nian walked over.

Ma Xiao stood up immediately when he saw her and asked, "Are you off work?"

Without waiting for Yan Nian to speak.

Zhou Ran said leisurely: "She is mine now. I can't just take her away whenever you want. Go back."

Hearing this, Yan Nianxin suddenly tensed up.

Ma Xiao, however, smiled and defended her: "You are too inhumane. It's already been so long, and you still ask me to work overtime."

Zhou Ran raised an eyebrow and said casually, "Looking at the entire Lindu, I'm the most humane. I even pay overtime for overtime. You can't find a good leader like me even with a lantern. Ask her whether she wants to make money or follow you."

Yan Nian: “…”

Ma Xiao looked over, and Yan Nian agreed: "Sorry, everyone is working overtime. I just came and can't slack off at work, let alone delay Uncle Ma's kindness. You go home first."

Now that things have come to this, I really have no choice but to leave.

"Okay then." Ma Xiao took the car keys, turned around and said to her, "I'll be back first. Be careful when you get off work. Don't take a private car. Try to take a taxi. If it's too late, send me a message."

Yan Nian: "Thank you! I will pay attention."

"Goodbye, Mr. Xiao Ma." Zhou Ran's face was half immersed in the darkness, and he stared at the departing figure with a frown.

"Then I'll be leaving first." Yan Nian said hello and prepared to leave.

Zhou Ran called out to her: "Did I let you go?"

Yan Nian didn't know whether he was going to mock her for coming here to get help, so she just stood there obediently.

"Sit down and have a cup of tea with me." Zhou Ran took away the cup used by Ma Xiao.

Drink tea in the evening...

Yan Nian was ordered to sit down and watch him meticulously perform the tea-making steps: first, taking the tea leaves, adding the tea leaves, and letting them soak.

The tea set was scalded inside and out with boiling water, and a small and exquisite teacup was placed in front of her, and the brewed golden pumpkin tribute tea was poured into it. The whole process was very particular.

The small, exquisite, warm and delicate teacup is filled with the golden pumpkin tribute tea given by the leader, and the aroma is everywhere.

Yan Nian took a sip. She didn't know much about tea, but she thought it tasted quite good.

Zhou Ran suddenly asked, "Is he pursuing you?"

Yan Nian was stunned, his hands trembling, and he answered with his eyes downcast, "No."

Zhou Ran raised his lip: "It seems that you haven't taken any action yet. I helped you solve a problem."

"..." Yan Nian put down the teacup and asked, "What?"

Zhou Ran: "If you want to go with him, you don't have to cooperate with me."

Yan Nian understood what he meant: "Thank you!"

Zhou Ran simply ignored her thanks and asked, "How are you going to repay me?"

Yan Nian looked up at him. Now that he was in a high position, he had to expect something in return for the favor he had shown him.

Not knowing what her value was in his heart, Yan Nian asked hesitantly, "How do you want me to repay you?"

"Don't worry." Zhou Ran said seriously, "I'll tell you when I think of it."

Yan Nian put down the teacup and said in a gentle tone: "Okay, then I'll go first, you can think about it slowly."

Zhou Ran smiled freely, watching the door being closed gently and the light from outside disappearing from the screen.

The huge office fell silent, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

Are you nervous?
