Chapter 112 Watching a Movie
Zhang Zhi was the regional general manager hired by Zhou Ji from elsewhere at a high salary eleven years ago. Every person who came out of his team is now a member of Boya's management or an executive of a certain company, no matter how incompetent they are. Zhou Ji trusts him very much.
Zhou Ran preached.
Yan Nian listened to Zhang Zhi's conversation with Zhou Ran. They were about to return to Boya. She asked, "When will your master return to Boya?"
Zhou Ran said briefly, "Given his physical condition, my position was originally his. I'll be primarily responsible for exports, and I'll also be temporarily taking over as the domestic general manager. Do you understand?"
Yan Nian didn't expect there would be so many twists and turns: "I understand."
As everyone knows, the translation team was formed by Zhou Ran himself. At that time, she thought it was strange that Zhou Ran did not go to the coastal area but stayed in Lindu. After hearing this explanation, she understood everything.
At this moment, Zhou Ran suddenly fell silent, staring at the front and concentrating on driving.
In fact, according to Zhou Ji's plan, he was not supposed to replace Zhang Zhi as general manager.
After Frannio broke his contract and caused Boya to suffer losses, he promised Zhou Ji that he would earn back the money Zhou Ji helped him to make up within two years. Zhang Zhi helped him a lot, and he did not break his promise.
Zhang Zhi's illness and surgery were unexpected, and there was no one more suitable than him. Zhou Ran met with Zhang Zhi alone and pushed him into this position.
Zhou Ji’s bottom line is when Zhang Zhi comes back and when he goes to the coast.
Yan Nian looked at the scenery outside. Not long after, Zhou Ran drove the car to the gate of Huayue Mansion and raised an eyebrow at her: "Where do you want to go tomorrow?"
Yan Nian is a person with poor sense of direction. He hasn't even walked around yet and two days of the seven-day holiday have already passed. What a pity.
But thinking that there were some things I had to discuss with him, "How about, I look for Cheng Xiao and the others tomorrow."
Zhou Ran was so angry that she laughed. Instead of spending such a good time with him to enjoy the process of dating, she went to find those two married couples who showed off their love on WeChat Moments every day. She didn't even have time to talk to her properly.
However, he still said: "Okay, you arrange it, go back and rest early."
Yan Nian looked at the time on the central control screen and asked, "Do you want to go up and sit for a while?"
Zhou Ran paused as he pried open the brake, a little surprised, but he didn't let her notice: "Okay."
Yan Nian was certainly happy: "Just drive in directly."
She used to drive this car back often and didn't need to register it again.
Zhou Ran parked his car in Yan Nian's parking space and took the elevator upstairs.
It was a large flat with one elevator and two households, and the floors were not high. Yan Nian led Zhou Ran upstairs, entered the password and opened the door.
Yan Nian turned on the light in the entrance hall and found him a pair of new slippers that Yan Qilin had never worn.
Zhou Ran was a little curious about what the girl's residence looked like. As he walked in from the entrance, his view became wider.
The overall color scheme of the room is mainly modern milky white. The white gauze curtain across the balcony is drawn, and the evening breeze blows in, lifting a corner of it, which is delicate and gentle.
A lot of thought must have gone into the renovation.
But when he thought of Yan Nian sitting alone on the sofa facing the deserted living room, it was no different from where he lived.
Zhou Ran asked worriedly, "Do you live here alone?"
Yan Nian couldn't understand the double meaning in his words. She poured water and said, "No, Dad is at school and Mom is traveling."
She then added: "Now, my mother and I live here."
Zhou Ran understood and felt relieved: "Yeah."
Yan Nian handed him some water and said, "Sit wherever you want."
The two sat down on the sofa. Yan Nian turned on the TV. Thinking that she and Zhou Ran had never properly watched a movie in a cinema, she had thought about it for a long time, but the movies that had just been released during the holidays were packed, so she gave up the idea: "Come watch a movie with me!"
"OK."
After getting Zhou Ran's agreement, Yan Nian found a popular science fiction film. Feeling that something was missing from the movie, he paused it and said, "Wait for me."
Zhou Ran watched her busying around in the kitchen. After a long time, she cut a plate of fruit that didn't look very good and brought it out, and also took out two bottles of yogurt.
Yan Nian smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Everything edible is here, just make do with it. Oh, by the way, there are also snacks, do you want any?"
Zhou Ran: “…”
Yan Nian quickly ran back to her room and took out two bags of spicy strips and potato chips from the bottom shelf of her dressing table.
Normally, if Xu Yiqing saw it, he would just throw it into the trash can. She could only hide it secretly and eat a bite when she was craving it. In fact, these things were not very delicious to her, but she felt that it was very fresh and could satisfy the little bit of rebelliousness in her heart.
Zhou Ran smiled and shook his head. The house was completely devoid of any trace of life. Yan Nian must be even more miserable than him. He specially checked the production date of the yogurt.
“…”
Yan Nian came out with snacks, found a toothpick, and ran to the sofa. Seeing him holding the yogurt, she leaned over and said, "..."
Zhou Ran peeled off the outer wrapping of the straw with one hand and inserted it.
Yan Nian snatched it away: "I don't want to drink it anymore."
Zhou Ran looked at the spicy strips in her hand and found it funny. He decided to drink it instead. After a while, his mouth would taste bad. He took it back from her and said, "It will expire in a few hours."
"..." Yan Nian felt that he was a little disgusted with spicy strips and potato chips, so she simply didn't eat them, threw them on the low table, and picked up a piece of fruit and bit it.
After turning off the lights in the living room, Yan Nian slowly moved over, leaned on his shoulder and stared at the movie on the screen.
Just as the movie reached its climax, Yan Nian leaned on Zhou Ran's shoulder and fell asleep without knowing when.
Zhou Ran pulled the thin blanket from the sofa and put it on her. He thought she was already asleep and was about to put her on the sofa, but Yan Nian held his arm tightly.
Zhou Ran coaxed, "How can I hold you like this?"
Yan Nian really fell for it, letting go of his hand and whispering, "Where is the movie?"
Zhou Ran pulled her into his arms: "It's almost over."
Yan Nian closed his eyes and asked again: "Are those people dead?"
Zhou Ran said: "No."
It seemed like he was talking in his sleep, so Yan Nian didn't ask him any more questions.
Zhou Ran let her head rest on his thigh. Feeling that she was not sleeping soundly, he pinched her nose. She did not wake up. In the flickering light of the TV, he saw her frowning and then she grabbed his hand good-naturedly to stop him from pinching her.
"Let me ask you something."
Yan Nian was very tired, and he could hardly open his eyes, so he responded vaguely.
"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. Don't force it."
After a moment of silence, Yan Nian half-knelt and said, "Okay!"
Zhou Ran knew Yan Nian's personality. If he asked too many roundabout questions, it would definitely add to her psychological burden. This girl was already quite sensitive. He tried to keep his breathing and tone steady, as if asking a normal question: "Why are you so afraid of answering the phone?"
Yan Nian finally opened her tired eyes and looked at the man with a smooth forehead line. What was coming finally came, and she couldn't describe the feeling in her heart.
She had tried to mediate this matter herself a few years earlier, but was unsuccessful.
