Chapter 17

Although Lin Pingyu didn't know much about Luo Qingli's experience in Beicheng, he knew that Luo Qingli didn't like Beicheng, so he was very surprised by Luo Qingli's decision to go to Beicheng.

"Someone from Linju came to find you? Was he a tall and handsome man? The one you met last time?" Luo Qingli asked curiously.

Lin Pingyu thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "He's quite tall, but I don't know if he's handsome. He said he's Mr. Ji's assistant."

It turned out that Ji Jinsi did not go to find Lin Pingyu. After all, as the President Ji, he would not go in person to ask someone to stamp the document. He probably went back to catch up on his sleep. She came back, washed up, and fell asleep until the evening.

Luo Qingli told Lin Pingyu about Ji Jinsi's suggestion and added, "I think it makes sense. I have to go and see it in person before I can create a perfume that matches Lin Ju's temperament."

Lin Pingyu knew that Luo Qingli had always been very serious about perfume making.

"Okay, go ahead and don't worry, I'm here."

"Where is your sister going? Can Xiaobao go too?" Xiaobao had sharp ears and came over to ask immediately.

"Xiaobao, your sister is busy with work, so she doesn't have time to take care of you. Can you and dad stay at home obediently?" Before Luo Qingli could reply, Lin Pingyu answered first.

This was also what Luo Qingli meant. Although Xiaobao was in much better health now, he was still weaker than a normal child. Long-distance travel was not good for Xiaobao's health. Moreover, she was alone in Beicheng and she really did not have the energy to take care of Xiaobao.

Xiaobao was very sensible. He nodded, but looked very lost.

Luo Qingli felt a little reluctant, so she said, "When my sister's work is almost done, Xiaobao, I'll let Dad bring you here, okay?"

After hearing this, Xiaobao, who was originally disappointed, immediately became happy again.

"Okay, great! Sister, you have to finish your work quickly!"

Lin Pingyu looked helpless, "You spoil him too much."

"It would be nice to let Xiaobao go out more often and see different scenery." Luo Qingli said with a smile.

Indeed, Beicheng and Mocheng are located in the south and north respectively, and they have completely different scenery.

Ji Jinsi was very efficient. Luo Qingli received the ticket booking information and a friend request early the next morning.

She looked at the profile picture and found it was a pure white kitten.

Strange, who is it?

Looking again, the note said "Ji Jinsi".

It was actually Ji Jinsi?! Luo Qingli was shocked. She remembered that his previous profile picture was the initial default one, but now he had changed it?

After hesitating for a while, Luo Qingli clicked yes.

"The flight ticket has been booked, remember to leave on time."

Ji Jinsi sent a message.

Luo Qingli replied with an "OK" emoticon.

Ji Jinsi actually came to remind me personally? It seems that he attaches great importance to the development of Linju.

For some unknown reason, Luo Qingli couldn't help but click on Ji Jinsi's circle of friends. Not surprisingly, it was empty, with nothing in it.

She was sure that this was Ji Jinsi's private account, and it was as boring as his personality, Luo Qingli complained in her heart.

Luo Qingli packed his luggage and soon set off for North City.

She sat on the plane, looking at the earth below through the clouds, and recalled how she felt when she left North City.

At that time, her heart was heavy, full of sadness, and she was also afraid and panicked about the unknown.

But now, she is relaxed, free and happy. She is just going to complete a job and meet a friend.

Because she already has roots, she is no longer like a rootless duckweed, drifting in the wind and rain like before.

Soon, the plane landed at Beicheng Airport.

As soon as he landed, Luo Qingli received a message from Jiang Ran.

"Qingli, I wanted to meet you, but I suddenly had a schedule and my agent wouldn't let me go!"

Jiang Ran sent a pouting emoticon.

"I've asked my agent to pick you up at the airport. Go with him to my house first, and then stay with me!"

Luo Qingli smiled and was about to reply when she heard someone next to her ask, "Excuse me, is this Miss Luo Qingli?"

Luo Qingli looked up unexpectedly and found a tall and strong man standing next to her, holding a pink sign in his hand, which read "Welcome Qingli to North City".

It's a bit awkward to see a macho man with a pink card.

The man smiled innocently, waved the sign in his hand towards Luo Qingli and said, "This is a sign specially made for me by Jiang Ran."

At this time, Jiang Ran sent another message, which was a photo of the man in front of her.

"This is my agent, Brother Yang. He will be waiting for you at the exit."

Jiang Ran's behavior was very considerate. Luo Qingli nodded to Brother Yang and said, "Yes, I am Ranran's friend."

Brother Yang took the suitcase from Luo Qingli and said, "I came at a good time. That little girl was clamoring to come pick you up, but the itinerary we had set today couldn't be changed, and she wasn't happy about it for a long time."

It sounds very much like Jiang Ran's personality, Luo Qingli smiled knowingly.

"I'll take you to Jiang Ran's house now. She should be almost done." Brother Yang said as they walked.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Luo Qingli responded politely.

Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, they met another unexpected person.

It’s Ji Jinsi.

He was wearing a well-tailored black suit and standing there with his assistant, attracting many people's attention.

No matter where he is, Ji Jinsi is really an eye-catching presence.

Luo Qingli originally wanted to pretend not to see and sneak away, but accidentally met Ji Jinsi's eyes.

Discovered.

No matter what happened in the past, at least they are still partners now.

Thinking of this, Luo Qingli walked up and greeted: "Mr. Ji, what a coincidence."

Ji Jinsi's eyes fell on Luo Qingli's face, then he looked at Brother Yang standing next to him and said, "It's quite a coincidence. Lin Ju has already booked a hotel for you. Since we happened to meet, I'll take you to the hotel."

Booking a hotel for a partner is a common practice. Luo Qingli didn't feel anything wrong, but she had already agreed to go to Jiang Ran's house, so she politely declined: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ji, I have an appointment with a friend and will stay at his house. I don't want to bother Lin Ju."

After hearing Luo Qingli's words, Ji Jinsi's expression remained unchanged.

He fixed his eyes on Brother Yang and said, "Is this your friend?"

"No, he just came to pick me up."

After Luo Qingli finished speaking, he continued, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Ji. I will visit Linju when I decide."

Without waiting for Ji Jinsi's response, Luo Qingli turned around and ran away.

Even if she returned to North City, she didn't want to have too much interaction with Ji Jinsi.

Looking at the backs of Luo Qingli and Yang Ge as they left, Ji Jinsi didn't know what he was thinking.

The assistant beside him asked: "Mr. Ji, the guest you are waiting for..."

"The flight is canceled, let's go back... and change the dinner with Mr. Yang to the restaurant I booked today."

Luo Qingli got into Brother Yang's car and drove for about an hour before stopping in an underground parking lot in a residential complex.

North City is very big, and it does take quite a while to get from the airport in the suburbs to the city.

After getting off the car, Brother Yang took Luo Qingli to the elevator and pressed the 8th floor.

"Wait a minute at Jiang Ran's house. She's done there and is on her way here. I have some things to take care of here."

Luo Qingli nodded to show that he understood.

The elevator stops on the 8th floor. This community has one elevator per household, which can well ensure privacy.

Brother Yang pressed the code and opened the door.

"Then you wait, I'm leaving first."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Luo Qingli closed the door, put the suitcase by the door, and looked around the room.

The whole house is quite large, with a large floor-to-ceiling window next to the living room.

Although it is already past five o'clock, it is summer and the sun has not set so quickly. The sun is still shining brightly outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The decoration in the house is actually minimalist, with simple black, white and gray design, which is very pleasing to the eye.

It’s just that Jiang Ran bought a lot of strange pink little things for herself, and the different styles made the whole house more lively.

However, the owner of the house was not at home, so Luo Qingli didn't bother to look at him any longer and just sat down on the beige sofa.

She took out her cell phone and called Lin Pingyu to report that she was safe. He replied quickly, telling her not to worry and that he would take good care of Xiaobao.

After replying to the message, another text message popped up, and it was actually from Ji Jinsi.

A location was attached to the text message.

"This is Lin Ju's location. Tell me before you come to the company."

Ji Jinsi is a very busy man, so he should be able to arrange someone to receive me if I tell him.

Thinking of this, Luo Qingli replied "OK".

Just as I replied with the good news, I heard the sound of the combination lock being opened outside the door.

Is Ranran back?

Luo Qingli stood up, and the door on the other end opened just in time.

A woman wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans, with a high ponytail and a mask on her face walked in.

Luo Qingli recognized her as soon as he saw her eyes. This was Jiang Ran.

"Qingli, it's been a long time since we last met! I specifically asked Brother Yang to clear out some time for me so I can have some fun with you!"

Jiang Ran spoke excitedly as he took off his mask and walked inside.

The smile on Luo Qingli's face froze the moment he saw Jiang Ran's face.

"Qingli? What's wrong?" Jiang Ran asked in confusion.

"Ye Lan, is that you?" Luo Qingli stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Ran's hand.

They look so much alike. She really looks like Ye Lan. Their facial features, face shape and height are almost exactly the same.

How could there be two people in the world who are so similar, as if they were carved from the same mold?
