Chapter 285: It takes so long to change a tire?
Mu Nanyan looked at him in disbelief. She clearly remembered that she glanced at Lu Yiran when she made the call, but he didn't make the call at that time.
She stared at Lu Yiran and asked, "Are you sure?"
Lu Yiran still said with a firm look:
"How could I not know when I called?"
Seeing that he was so sure, Mu Nanyan still had some doubts in her heart, but she also began to wonder if she had not paid attention at the time.
She stopped dwelling on this question, turned her head and continued to look out the window, no longer paying attention to Lu Yiran.
When Lu Yiran saw this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely noticeable smile.
Sure enough, having someone puncture the tires last night was a wise decision.
The car stopped steadily in front of the company building. Mu Nanyan quickly unbuckled the seat belt with her fingertips without even giving the man in the driver's seat a spare glance.
"Thanks."
She thanked him briefly, her voice deliberately distant.
The car door was pushed open and closed cleanly with a bang.
Mu Nanyan performed the entire action in one go, without giving Lu Yiran any chance to speak. She treated Lu Yiran as a taxi driver who didn't need to pay.
Mu Nanyan walked hurriedly, with a hint of urgency, towards the company entrance without looking back, and her figure gradually disappeared from Lu Yiran's sight.
Lu Yiran looked at her departing back, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, but also a bit of doting.
He shook his head slightly, then skillfully turned the steering wheel. The car started slowly, drove forward, and disappeared into the bustling street.

At this moment, Song Rui's face was full of helplessness and he looked like he had lost all hope in life. He stood beside Mu Nanyan's Mercedes-Benz and watched the car being slowly towed away by a tow truck.
After the Mercedes was safely loaded onto the tow truck, Song Rui walked up to the tow truck driver, with a polite smile on his face, and said:
"Once the car is repaired, there's no need to contact the owner. She'll come pick it up when she's free."
As he said that, he took out a thousand yuan and stuffed it into the tow truck driver's hand.
The tow truck driver was a little confused by Song Rui's action and didn't react to what Song Rui meant for a moment.
However, looking at the money in his hand, he still grinned and quickly responded:
"Okay, okay."
After all, if you don’t make money, you’re a bastard!
Then, the tow truck driver started the car and gradually disappeared into the underground parking lot.
Watching Song Rui disappear from his sight, the tow truck driver showed a hint of pride on his face. He couldn't wait to take out his cell phone and made a call:
"Hey, man, let me tell you something. I met a guy today who was really stupid. He gave me a thousand dollars in tips, which is enough to change a tire. Moreover, he sent the car to be repaired and didn't rush to let the owner know. I really don't understand what he was thinking. If it were me, I would definitely change the tire myself..."
Meanwhile, Song Rui suddenly sneezed twice in a row.
"Ha-chu~ha-chu~"
He wrinkled his nose and muttered:
"What's going on? Is someone cursing me behind my back?"
After muttering, Song Rui shook his head, started the car and drove towards the company.
On the way back to the company, Song Rui was feeling depressed.
He had already arrived at the company today when he suddenly received a call from Lu Yiran. He was expecting Lu Yiran to finally remember his identity as the president of Dingsheng and prepare to come back to handle work.
But who would have thought that Lu Yiran would actually let him deal with such a trivial matter as towing a truck.
As an Ivy League graduate, a top finance student, and the special assistant to the president of Dingsheng Group, he never dreamed that he would be assigned to do this kind of work. This is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, a waste of talent...
But there was no way, Lu Yiran was his boss, and he could only accept his fate helplessly.
Fortunately, the tow truck came shortly after he arrived. He estimated the time and thought that he should be able to catch the morning meeting when he got back to the company, so he forced himself to cheer up and speed up.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Mu Nanyan sorted out the documents on her desk and put her laptop into her bag.
She had just picked up her coat and was about to leave when her phone screen suddenly lit up. The three words "Lu Yiran" on the caller ID made her pause.
"Mr. Lu, what's going on?"
She pressed the answer button, her voice so calm that no emotion could be heard. Lu Yiran's low voice came from the other end of the phone:
"When you get off work, I'll pick you up."
"Don't bother, I'll take a taxi back myself."
Mu Nanyan walked towards the elevator while speaking. The elevator happened to stop on this floor. With a "ding~" sound, the metal door slowly opened.
Lu Yiran keenly caught the sound and asked tentatively, "Are you off work?"
"Um."
Mu Nanyan responded lightly.
The call was suddenly hung up. Mu Nanyan looked at the dark screen and shook her head slightly.
The elevator descended smoothly. When she walked out of the building, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on her face, causing her to squint unconsciously.
Just as she lowered her head to open the taxi app, a slender figure blocked her way.
Mu Nanyan looked up, and in the backlight, Lu Yiran's outline was coated with a layer of gold. His deep eyes reflected the sunset, and the whole person seemed to be bathed in holy light.
"Are you stunned?" Lu Yiran raised the corners of his lips slightly, with a hint of teasing in his voice.
Mu Nanyan quickly looked away, her ears slightly burning: "Why are you here?"
"I came all the way here to pick you up. I was the one who brought you here this morning. I have to see you through to the end."
Mu Nanyan: Uh... no need for that!
Lu Yiran didn't notice the expression on her face at all. He glanced at the time and then said:
"Let's go. If we go back now, we can still catch up with Chenchen after school."
As Lu Yiran spoke, he naturally took Mu Nanyan's wrist. Mu Nanyan was in a trance for a moment and let him lead her forward a few steps before she suddenly came to her senses.
She gently broke free from the warm palm and whispered:
"I can walk on my own."
Lu Yiran didn't force it and put his hands in his suit pockets. The two of them walked side by side towards the black Maybach.
The setting sun stretched their shadows very long and made them overlap.
On the way to school, Mu Nanyan looked at Lu Yiran and asked:
"How's my car?"
Lu Yiran said without changing his expression:
"It might take a few days, and then I'll take you there when you go to work."
Mu Nanyan:??? When did she ask him to deliver it? And...
"Isn't it just a punctured tire? Why does it take so long to change it?"
She turned to look at him, suspicion in her eyes.
Mu Nanyan thought she could pick up the car this afternoon, but she had to wait so long.
"It just so happens that the 4S shop is out of tires for this model, so it may take a few days. And your car hasn't been serviced for a long time, so you should do a comprehensive maintenance."
Mu Nanyan's mouth twitched. She had only bought this car for half a year, and it already needed maintenance? ? ?
Although she doesn't know much about cars, she remembers that the people at the 4S shop told her that maintenance once a year is enough.
