Chapter 45 Wait for me to become a regular employee
Just sit there and wait, not knowing how long I'll have to wait.
Yan Nian reported his itinerary to Xu Yiqing in advance.
Xu Yiqing went to the north to meet a client today, which is more than 50 kilometers away from the city center. Even if I wanted to take care of her, I couldn't get her away.
In other situations, Yan Nian would definitely finish his meal and then tell the organizers to leave early.
Perhaps influenced by these people, Yan Nian thought of herself as someone Zhao Shutong had brought for dinner, and she didn't want to leave until the very end.
I remember when I first came here, there was a large viewing balcony outside the restaurant, just a few steps away from this private room.
Yan Nian wanted to go out and get some fresh air.
I stood up and looked towards the dining table. I didn't know when today's protagonist had left the scene from the conversation.
There was no trace of him anywhere in the box that could be seen.
If she remembered correctly, the person who just entered the bathroom was Xue Jiyan's girlfriend.
Yan Nian was silent for a moment, then took her cell phone but not her bag, closed the door and went out.
The sky was already gray-blue at this time, and lights had already been lit on the roadside.
The viewing balcony is semi-arc-shaped, and there are no lights except for the twinkling baby's breath hanging on the edge of the fence.
There was a person standing on the balcony, talking on the phone. Yan Nianguan knew who it was just by looking at the figure.
She was quite surprised to see a little scarlet on her fingertips.
As far as I can remember, I have never seen him smoking.
This is the first time.
I heard him say a few words to the person on the phone and then hang up. It should be a birthday greeting.
After hanging up the phone, another call came in. He hung up directly and continued to stand on the balcony smoking.
Yan Nian looked at his profile as he smoked. In the faint light, his outline flickered, and he looked unusually charming.
Yan Nian seemed to be possessed, staring at him and slowly moving towards him.
Zhou Ran turned his head as if he heard some noise.
With the help of the light from the fence, I could see who was coming.
His fingertips paused, and the ash fell from the flash.
As he got closer to him, Yan Nian's heart tightened.
What to talk about?
Why are you smoking?
It didn't seem to be any of her business.
Why are you here alone?
It doesn't seem to be her business.
Yan Nian felt like he had burned a lot of brain cells after racking his brains for just a few seconds.
Zhou Ranmans put out the cigarette in an orderly manner and threw it into the trash can.
At this moment, she finally realized that today was his birthday.
When he turned around again, Yan Nian walked up to him and wished him like an ordinary friend: "Happy birthday!"
Zhou Ran looked at her for a few seconds, and without a polite "thank you" in response, he asked in a less serious tone, "You came to eat and didn't even bring a birthday present for the birthday boy."
"..." Yan Nian vaguely remembered that the last time Qi Jin celebrated his birthday, he didn't seem to say this.
She didn't expose him, but asked, "What do you want?"
Zhou Ran had wanted to tease her, but this answer surprised him. He raised an eyebrow and said, "You're giving someone a gift, and you still ask them what they want?"
Yan Nian said with a good-natured smile, "I came in a hurry today and didn't prepare anything. I'll make it up to you next time."
In fact, he had no idea that this was a setup by Wang Hongyu and Zhao Shutong for him. To be honest, the atmosphere was quite depressing.
Zhou Ran: "When is the next time? Give me a definite answer."
It felt like she owed him.
"..." Yan Nian pondered for a few seconds, "Wait until I become a regular employee!"
Zhou Ran: “…”
What this means is that if you don’t get a permanent job, you won’t get one.
Zhou Ran laughed carefreely: "Are you so anxious to pave a way out for yourself?"
Yan Nian realized it later. She naively thought that she could only afford a decent gift after becoming a regular employee.
She spent all her salary last month on buying a tie for Yan Qilin.
It seemed like she was bribing her boss in order to get a permanent job.
He insisted on understanding it this way, and it seemed like there was nothing wrong with it.
Yan Nian said, "Don't overthink it. I'm not trying to gain connections. I'm aware of my own abilities."
Zhou Ran curled his lips, looking quite confident. In the end, he was overthinking it. "Okay, then I'll wait until you become a regular employee."
At this point, he suddenly thought of something and changed the subject: "Oh, you still owe me a favor?"
Owe? Favor?
It's not like you still owe me a favor.
But you still owe me a favor.
He was very sure about it, but Yan Nian had forgotten when it happened.
I searched through the cracks, but couldn't remember when I owed the favor.
She couldn't help but think of the things Zhou Ran sent her a long time ago.
She didn't have anything substantial to give him in return, so she sent him two boxes of local specialties.
Zhou Ran even joked, "Are you trying to return my ten cows?"
At that time, she thought that she had to return the bracelet and shells Zhou Ran sent her with equal value, so she bought a lot of Lingyun's most distinctive beef jerky.
Zhou Ran said that people in the dormitory had been coveting his specialty for a long time, but he didn't give it to others until it was about to expire.
I don't know if he has something else to say.
Or he couldn't wait a week for her to apply for regular employment.
Yan Nian looked at him blankly, unable to guess when this had happened. Hesitantly, he asked, "I owe you?"
"Favor?"
Zhou Ran half-closed his eyes and locked onto her: "Looks like you forgot?"
Yan Nian was frightened by his gaze, but she felt that he didn't seem to be lying.
Instead, it made her feel like she owed someone a favor and not only didn't repay it, but also forgot about it.
Yan Nian really couldn't remember. If she asked him to remind her, he would definitely use her forgetfulness as an excuse. So she responded, "Then you can ask me for anything you want, as long as it's not too excessive."
Zhou Ran smiled, leaned forward slightly, and slowly moved forward.
Yan Nian did not retreat, her eyelashes fluttered, and she held her breath waiting for him to come closer.
Zhou Ran's face suddenly stopped just inches from the tip of her nose, and his lips, of moderate thickness, moved: "How about you think about it for me?"
The hot wind blew the scent of tobacco from his body towards her face, which unexpectedly entered her nostrils and spread to her heart.
His handsome face now looked like an unfocused image.
Yan Nian's eyes moved around his face, finally stopping at his lips of moderate thickness, and she suddenly felt the illusion of being teased by him.
Seeing her in a daze, Zhou Ran snorted and laughed, then stood up straight.
Yan Nian swallowed the dry throat and said with difficulty: "Then, I will treat you to a meal!"
Zhou Ran's eyes darkened: "Do I need a meal from you?"
He was a little depressed.
It felt like I was talking to a blockhead, not a person.
Lately, she has been acting a bit strangely, sometimes near and sometimes far away, but I'm afraid it's just my imagination.
The repeated attempts ended with her not playing by the rules.
He lost his sense of direction for a moment. It had been too long, and he was not sure whether this blockhead only regarded him as a leader.
Whenever he caught her doing something unusual, he would hope that she had other intentions.
Yan Nian said seriously, "My social life is limited, so you should figure it out yourself."
Seeing her being so serious, Zhou Ran smiled and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. How about you..."
Yan Nian waited for him to continue.
Zhou Ran: "Buy me a birthday cake."
Yan Nian didn't expect his request to be so low. She was stunned for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Slide the phone to unlock, open the app and prepare to order the cake: "Are there any flavors you like?"
Zhou Ran thought for a moment and suppressed his emotion: "Strawberry mousse!"
Hearing this, Yan Nian felt as if something in his heart was touched.
I looked up at the man in front of me, not knowing why I felt so empty.
It was a bit like when Zhou Ran went to see her, and when she received the message she thought they were about to meet, but what she was told was that the flight was delayed, and she suddenly felt a little empty.
That’s how it feels now.
