Chapter 41 Send Him Home
The food on the table was a good combination of meat and vegetables, and the dishes were delicious; before Zhou Ran had taken a few bites, the food was almost cold.
I simply put down my chopsticks and got busy with work.
Yan Nian brought the brewed coffee to him and asked, "Aren't you going to eat anymore?"
Zhou Ran stared at the laptop without moving his eyes: "Well, let's retreat!"
Yan Nian regretted asking. Gu Pingping hadn't come up for so long, so he must have left long ago.
Adhering to the idea that she had not yet been promoted and had to build a close relationship with her boss, she had no choice but to do the work of an assistant and clean up the desk.
After cleaning up, take the garbage out and throw it into the garbage sorting bin at the entrance of the corridor.
She didn't leave anything in Zhou Ran's office, but she didn't say hello to him when she took the trash out.
The phone in my hand lit up. It was Xu Yiqing calling.
Yan Nian hung up and took a photo in the office corridor, adding a message: [Just got off work, going home soon.]
Mom: [Okay, come back and be careful.]
Before, Xu Yiqing always came to pick her up when she worked overtime. Yan Nian didn't want to act like a giant baby and take up her parents' rest time. After much persuasion from Xu Yiqing and Yan's father, Xu Yiqing gave up the idea of picking her up.
After Yan Nian replied to the message, he leaned against the wall outside for a while.
The last subway train leaves at 11:30, so it's hard to get a taxi at this time.
Yan Nian unlocked his phone screen and searched specifically: How to build relationships with leaders.
The post with the most clicks is: Think about where your own value lies?
Yan Nian thought it was relatively normal so he kept on scrolling, but the more he read, the more outrageous it became.
Someone who is not a cloud replied: Acknowledge him, respect him, and follow him loyally forever, and everything will come naturally.
Yan Nian: “…”
Feeling that it wasn’t working, I changed the topic and searched: How to get along well with leaders.
The posts are all about the same old stuff in a new bottle.
She left a good impression on her boss, but she probably didn't leave a good impression on Zhou Ran, right?
down.
Get appreciation from leaders.
Maintain harmonious relations with leaders.
Yan Nian wanted to exit the webpage directly, thought about it and deleted the previous topic, then typed a few words: How to make the leader willingly send you home.
I thought it was strange, so I deleted it and typed it again: How to get a ride home in the boss’s car.
I thought of the more normal sentence I just mentioned: Think about where your own value lies.
Yan Nian bit her lower lip and walked into Zhou Ran's office without knocking. She asked, "Boss Zhou, are you done with your work?"
Zhou Ran closed his computer and stood up from the sofa: "Well, let's go down together."
Yan Nian finally understood that they meant going down together, not walking away together.
Zhou Ran went to the office area and found the car keys from the drawer.
When they walked into the elevator together, Yan Nian did not press the floor button.
Zhou Ran raised his hand and glanced at her, asking, "Downstairs?"
?
Yan Nian steeled himself and raised his head, saying, "It's hard to get a taxi at this time."
Zhou Ran looked at her.
Yan Nian said seriously, "How about I take you there?"
Take him home in his car.
Zhou Ran: “…”
He was tired, so her value was to be a driver.
Yan Nian met his light-colored pupils, which seemed to have the penetrating power to see through people's hearts. Her heart suddenly tightened, fearing that he would ask her in an extremely arrogant tone in the next second, "I need you to send me off?"
Zhou Ran seemed to ignore her and directly pressed the button for the basement floor.
"......" Yan Nian was embarrassed for less than a few seconds, then said shamelessly without changing his expression: "Then you should send me off!"
Zhou Ran stood in front of her. Through the bright elevator door, the smile on her lips was clearly visible. Half of her head was exposed from her left shoulder, looking down at something.
The elevator reached the basement level, and Yan Nian followed him slowly.
Zhou Ran pressed the unlock button, opened the car door and closed it again, then suddenly changed his mind.
"Here," he tossed her the keys.
Yan Nian was caught off guard and almost didn't catch it.
Zhou Ran raised his chin towards her and motioned her to go to the driver's seat.
Yan Nian held the car keys in her hand. She had had her driver's license for many years, so driving this kind of SUV was not stressful at all.
Zhou Ran sat in the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt.
Yan Nian started the car, and only after driving out of the parking lot did she realize that she didn't know Zhou Ran's home address.
"Where is your home?" Yan Nian asked.
Zhou Ran gave an address, staring at his phone with drooping eyelashes and replied: "If you can't find it, use the navigation."
Yan Nian was so focused on driving that he couldn't spare a second. "Why don't you use my phone to guide me? It's in my bag."
Zhou Ran really took her bag from the back seat, took out her cell phone and saw a WeChat message from Ma Xiao on the screen.
Ma Xiao: [I have two concert tickets here. Would you like to go together on Saturday?]
Zhou Ran ignored the message and swiped up, asking, "What's the password?"
Yan Nian choked for a moment, almost blurting out the password, and glanced at the central control screen next to him: "I forgot that your car can guide it, without the need for a mobile phone."
Zhou Ran put her phone back into her bag and turned on the real-person navigation mode.
"Turn right at the traffic light ahead."
Waiting for her to turn right, he announced in advance: "Go straight."
Zhou Ran's home is not far from the company. It is a luxury apartment in the best location in the city. It is only a few kilometers away from Mingyu No. 1 and can be reached quickly.
Zhou Ran asked her to park the car on the side of the road and opened the door and got out.
He confidently handed the car to her: "Come pick me up at 8:40 tomorrow morning. If you are late, your salary will be deducted."
Yan Nian: “…”
After saying that, he left.
She didn't even have time to think about how she would get back after sending Zhou Ran home, and then she got a free car.
There were few cars on the road at this time, and Yan Nian drove home smoothly, except for the very tedious vehicle registration at the entrance of the community.
I drove to the underground parking lot and found a place far away from my parents' car to back up.
Only after confirming that the car is parked can I go home with peace of mind.
Enter the password to open the door, and the living room will be bright.
Yan Nian put the car keys into her bag before going in from the entrance: "I'm back."
Xu Yiqing was still sitting on the sofa waiting for her. When he heard the noise, he stood up, his face a little haggard. "Why do you always work so late lately?"
Yan Nian felt a little guilty: "The company received an expedited order, and the workload has been quite heavy these past two days."
Xu Yiqing asked, "Are you tired?"
Yan Nian shook his head: "Not tired."
Xu Yiqing was silent for a moment. "If it really doesn't work out, I'll ask your Uncle Ma to tell Director Zhou. If you're too tired, come back and rest for a while. I'll arrange other work for you."
Yan Nian was really, really against Xu Yiqing's repeated attempts to control everything about her under the pretext of doing it for her own good.
The first month after she joined the company was indeed bad, but after persevering, she found that all the bad things could be overcome.
Now she doesn't have to worry about not getting orders like a freelance translator, nor does she have to work overtime until late every day like those in a pure translation company.
She is very satisfied with her job and would not consider changing it unless Boya fires her.
Her last translation job was introduced to her by a senior. Just after two weeks, Xu Yiqing found the boss of the translation company and was allowed to collect two weeks' salary and go home directly.
Yan Nian said in a gentle voice, "I only work overtime occasionally, not often. Don't worry too much. I can overcome it."
Perhaps because he was too sleepy, Xu Yiqing yawned: "Alright, let's talk later! Go to bed, it's too late."
Yan Nian nodded: "Okay, good night, Mom!"
Following Xu Yiqing into the bedroom, Yan Nian turned off the lights in the living room and returned to the bedroom.
Sitting in front of the dressing table, I stared at the person in the mirror for a while.
I took out an old photo from the cabinet. It was a photo of a family of three.
Since she was a child, relatives have said that her eyebrows and eyes are like her father's, and she looks nothing like her mother.
Taking it out and looking at it again, it is indeed the case.
Although they are of the same blood, there is not a trace of Xu Yiqing in her.
The phone placed aside lit up, Yan Nian tilted his head, it was a WeChat message.
Zhou Ran: [Arrived?]
Yan Nian replied: [Yes, we’re here.]
It seemed that the other party was just asking whether she had arrived, and would not reply after receiving the message.
Yan Nian sent two more words: [Good night.]
