Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Your girlfriend? You have average taste...
Work resumed after the New Year.
Arriving downstairs at the company, Song Zhihan dangled the car keys on her finger, her eyes darting around. Who was she looking at? Her boyfriend, whom she had just kissed passionately in the basement.
Song Zhihan didn't want to make their relationship public. It wasn't anything else, it just felt... strange and a bit hard to get used to. If Cheng Yang knew, they wouldn't be able to have a pleasant gossip chat anymore. So, he could only temporarily let Lin Jie down and let him be his secret boyfriend.
After looking around, I finally saw his tall and shabby figure from a distance. The black coat he wore did not suppress his height, but made him look even more upright. In the crowd, he looked very handsome, but he had a stinky face, which was obviously stinky.
He obviously saw Song Zhihan as well, and his eyes stared at her across the distant street.
Song Zhihan smiled at him without any psychological burden, picked up her bag and ran away. She left first!
Lin Jie fell behind and saw her figure slipping away. She looked so cunning no matter how he looked at her. He curled the corners of his lips helplessly and also took a step forward.
What should I do if my girlfriend doesn't want to make it public?
I can only listen to her.
It's this sneaky feeling...it's really annoying.
Song Zhihan passed the gate and saw the elevator door closing from a distance. She jogged a few steps and pressed the button frantically, and the closed elevator door opened again.
The elevator was packed with people. Song Zhihan smiled warmly at the person standing next to the elevator button and squeezed in sideways.
When I arrived at the company, the whole room was filled with a festive atmosphere. Several colleagues from other places were sharing the local specialties they brought from their hometowns. Specialties from all over the world gathered in this small cubicle, making it very lively.
Song Zhihan returned to her workstation and saw Becca wiping the table with a small towel. She looked at her clean, reflective table and hugged Becca with tears in her eyes, saying, "Becca, you are so nice~ You are an angel~"
The little angel shyly adjusted the frame of her glasses, feeling a little overwhelmed.
Cheng Yang threw a large bag of sausages onto their table, put his hands on his hips and panted, "Hurry, hurry, put it away! If someone sees it, do you know how popular my sausages are? I'll protect them with my life!"
Song Zhihan responded with the same warm thanks and loving hug.
The three of them took advantage of this chaotic moment to chat for a while, and Cheng Yang had new information.
"Our small company is really making progress. Ms. Zheng from HR said that several new people will be joining us after the new year. Brother Sui is taking a complete break, and the modeling team is being reorganized. I heard that they will be divided into two groups within the team, one for Ah Kuan, and the other... for Ye Qinran, the master."
It’s her again. It seems that Ye Qinran is really coming to Mengying.
"Where do you get so much information every day?" Becca asked curiously. In her eyes, Cheng Yang was omnipotent.
Cheng Yang was stuck, paused for a moment, scratched his head and walked away: "It's just... I heard it."
She slipped away so quickly that Beca wondered if she was hallucinating.
Becca poked Song Zhihan and asked, "Do you think Cheng Yang has been acting strange lately?"
Things are not normal before and after the New Year.
Song Zhihan raised his head in a daze and repeated: "Hmm?"
Becca was about to repeat it again when her attention was suddenly drawn away by another movement, or rather, everyone's attention was drawn to what was about to happen.
Lin Jie walked in front, but what attracted more attention was the person behind her. Whispers began to break out almost the moment she appeared.
"Isn't that Ye Qinran from Master?"
"Yeah...why is she here..."
"I heard..."
The two screenwriters' eyes were also fixed on her, and Song Zhihan heard Becca sigh.
"Even after such a huge setback, Yue Rugou was still able to find a new employer. She's truly amazing."
Song Zhihan suddenly wondered if her arrival was really related to Lin Jie. Earlier, Cheng Yang had heard that Lin Jie had contacted Ye Qinran about this matter. So, how far had Lin Jie gotten in the process?
They have been colleagues for so many years and are an indestructible golden triangle. With A Kuan and her added to the mix, wouldn't that make them complete?
Song Zhihan's thoughts ran far away, and his thoughts were like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger.
Soon, the heads of each group were called into the conference room for a meeting, and all members of the screenwriter team were required to attend.
Song Zhihan and Becca were at the end, and they were whispering to each other.
"Do you think she will participate in the production of Lingdong?"
"Um."
"I don't think so. Mr. Lin probably asked her to come for a new project."
"Um."
Becca noticed her absent-mindedness, patted her shoulder and asked, "Zhihan, why are you acting weird too?"
Song Zhihan came back to look at her in a daze. Her attention had just been drawn to something else.
Lin Jie and Ye Qinran were chatting animatedly, oblivious to the people around them. That cold-faced guy smiled at Ye Qinran...
Reminiscing about the past or talking about work?
Is the work that interesting?
hehe……
She stared at Lin Jie until he noticed something and turned around to meet her eyes. His lips twitched slightly, and he regained his usual seriousness. He signaled his secretary to close the door, and the meeting officially began.
Ye Qinran was too conspicuous next to him, so Lin Jie had to first introduce this new face who was both familiar and unfamiliar.
"This is Ye Qinran, a senior modeler. Her representative works include 'A Thousand Miles of Blue Water', 'Running Summer', and 'Moon Like a Hook'. Starting today, she will officially join our company and become a member of the modeling team."
After saying that, he glanced at Ye Qinran and handed the rest of the time over to her.
She looked around at everyone in the room, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips, her ponytail was raised high, and there was a heroic air in her every move.
"Hello everyone, I'm Ye Qinran. I'm sure you're all familiar with me, especially... Yue Rugou. But the past is all illusory. What matters is the future, and every moment we spend together. I hope to have a pleasant time with you all. Thank you."
Amidst the applause, Song Zhihan walked through the crowd and saw her smiling brightly at Lin Jie.
They are really similar, both in the way they speak and the way they do things.
Her heart was in turmoil, and she found she couldn't completely ignore it.
Just as Cheng Yang said, the modeling group does need to be reorganized. A Kuan and Ye Qinran will each be in charge of a group. Not only that, almost every group needs to recruit people. Mengying seems to be slowly transforming from a small workshop.
But the good thing is that Ye Qinran is not participating in Lingdong's project, whether it is the main series or the movie version, Lin Jie seems to have other arrangements for her.
Upon hearing this news, Song Zhihan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. This inexplicably made her feel at ease. Ye Qinran gave off a similar sense of oppression as Lin Jie. She always felt nervous in their presence.
This meeting mainly announced two things: the transfer of the modeling team and the work arrangements for the first quarter. Overall, everything is proceeding in a stable and orderly manner.
The meeting didn't last long. After the meeting, people walked towards the door in groups of two or three. Song Zhihan looked at the two people chatting on the computer again and glared at Lin Jie fiercely.
Come on, come on, there's so much to say!
Becca pulled her away. Lin Jie, who was still talking, felt a chill on his back for some reason. He looked towards the door and saw only the back of Song Zhihan sticking to Becca.
He stared in fascination, his eyes gradually darkening, until he was interrupted by Ye Qinran.
"Wood mustard? Can it bloom in March?"
"Okay." Lin Jie retracted his gaze and answered her seriously.
Ye Qinran's lips curled up slightly as she extended an invitation: "Call A Kuan tonight, and let's get together as a group?"
"Let's talk later."
…
Song Zhihan typed very quickly on the keyboard, and as he was typing, the two of them suddenly appeared on the screen, talking and laughing.
It was annoying. She really wanted to talk to someone, but she had said she wanted to keep it a secret. Facing Cheng Yang and Becca, she was like a eunuch visiting a brothel, unable to express her suffering.
She went to the rooftop with her cell phone, intending to call Li Daizhen.
The north wind is howling, and the place that used to be a good place to slack off and chat has now become a cold palace that no one cares about. I can't blame others, but when I stand here, the cold wind blows straight into my bones.
Song Zhihan fought against the wind and accused Lin Jie of his evil deeds to Li Daizhen.
"Didn't you see how happy he was smiling with Ye Qinran? He's never smiled that happily even to me!"
Li Daizhen was so amused by what she heard that she clapped her legs and laughed, "And then?"
"What then? There was no then!"
Li Daizhen was busy coaxing her again: "Oh, you're jealous, aren't you? Then let me ask you, did you hear what they were talking about?"
"That...that's not the case."
"Maybe Lin Jie is saying, 'See? That girl who's as angry as a pufferfish is my girlfriend. Isn't she cute?'"
Song Zhihan pulled his hair away in annoyance.
"Forget it, actually it's not because of this..."
The main reason was that before this, she had heard a lot of rumors about Ye Qinran and Lin Jie. They had been together day and night, and they had fought side by side, which made her care.
Li Daizhen comforted her: "Don't make up your own mind. If you want to know something, just ask him. If you don't ask and he doesn't tell you, it would be strange if there are no problems."
Song Zhihan thought it made sense, but if she really confronted Lin Jie about it, wouldn't that make her seem petty? Would Lin Jie think she couldn't distinguish between public and private matters?
So conflicted.
The phone call was disconnected and Li Daizhen ran to entertain relatives. Song Zhihan stood on the rooftop, looking at the tall buildings in the distance, and suddenly felt a little melancholy.
Lin Jie rushed in at this moment. He walked very lightly behind her silently, then quickly put his arm around her waist.
Song Zhihan was startled, and after seeing who was coming, he slapped him on the arm.
"You scared me to death!"
Lin Jie smiled, lowered his head and tried to kiss the corner of her lips, his movements a little hurried. Song Zhihan hurriedly dodged, watching the movement at the door while warning him not to mess around.
"You should pay attention to the occasion. What if someone finds out?"
Lin Jie took in her reaction, used his hands to smooth out the hair stuck to her face, and teased her with malicious intent: "If you're caught... just give me a kiss openly."
As he spoke, he quickly kissed the corner of her lips, stealing a peck of her beauty, which seemed to have a special kind of fun.
Song Zhihan was so scared that he stood eight meters away from him.
Lin Jie looked at her from afar, pretending to be deep.
"Am I so shameful?"
"I still want to have fun with Becca Cheng Yang, but it can't be made public anyway." Song Zhihan was firm in his attitude and kept a clear social distance from it.
Lin Jie slowly stepped into the red line she had drawn and asked meaningfully, "Are you here to have fun, or to have fun saying bad things about me?"
Song Zhihan pretended to be deaf and dumb: "I don't understand what you are saying."
The two were bickering with each other when suddenly a third person broke in.
They all looked towards the door.
Ye Qinran stood at the door, raising her eyebrows slightly: "I'm looking for Lin Jie."
She glanced at Song Zhihan, and for some reason there was a sense of provocation in her eyes.
Song Zhihan's anger was suddenly ignited, but Lin Jie suddenly said something shocking.
"Ye Qinran, let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend Song Zhihan."
The other two were stunned. Song Zhihan froze in his tracks, his anger suppressed midway through the walk, while Ye Qinran's face showed a complicated expression.
Lin Jie seemed not to notice at all, so he added another sentence.
"My girlfriend doesn't want to make our relationship public for now, so please keep it a secret for now, thank you."
Song Zhihan was completely frozen. What was Lin Jie doing? She was too embarrassed to stay here any longer. Whoever caused the trouble should take the responsibility.
Song Zhihan smiled at Ye Qinran and slipped away.
Lin Jie watched her run away again, smiling helplessly. As for Ye Qinran, she blurted out with an unbearable expression, "Your taste is average."
The relaxation in Lin Jie's body suddenly disappeared. He pressed the corners of his mouth, frowned, and looked very cold towards Ye Qinran.
"Our personal relationship isn't good enough for you to make random comments about my girlfriend."
