Chapter 50 Hiding
When Yan Nian opened the door, Xu Yiqing had arrived home before her and was arguing with Yan Qilin in the living room.
Perhaps they heard the noise of her coming back, so they all fell silent.
Yan Nian put the car keys into her bag, changed into slippers and went in: "I'm back."
The living room was silent for a few seconds.
Yan Qilin took off his glasses with a frown, rubbed his brows, stood up, smiled when he faced her, and asked, "Have you eaten?"
Yan Nian stood beside the sofa, observing Xu Yiqing's expression, and nodded, "Yeah, I've eaten."
Yan Qilin breathed a long sigh of relief: "Okay, you've been tired all day, go and rest quickly, you still have to go to work tomorrow."
Yan Nian: "Okay, good night, Dad!"
"Yeah." Yan Qilin brushed past her and walked into the master bedroom.
Xu Yiqing's expression made it hard to tell whether he was talking about good or bad things. In Yan Nian's impression, every time they were like this, it was either a long cold war or endless arguments.
Both of them are strong-willed people, and their quarrel became a contradiction, but in the end they both had to make up their own excuses.
The conclusions are often inconclusive.
We rarely quarrel in front of her, but we have done so.
Yan Nian did not enter the room immediately, but remained standing there. She waited until Xu Yiqing sighed and stood up before she moved slightly.
Seeing her still standing there, Xu Yiqing asked, "Why don't you go and rest?"
Yan Nian was slightly startled, then replied, "I'll go right away."
After saying that, he walked back to his room.
It is said that a daughter is a little cotton-padded jacket for her parents, and she should not even be considered a leaky one.
Over the years, she has never shared anything about herself with her parents, and her parents have always treated her as a child and don't seem to care what she likes.
Yan Nian returned to her room and washed up.
I couldn’t sleep because I ate too many sweets at night, so I went out to get some water.
Yan Qilin's voice came from the master bedroom, sounding helpless: "You are simply being unreasonable. If you are tired, just go to bed early."
Xu Yiqing's tone was very bad: "First of all, I'm not being unreasonable. Secondly, I'm just asking about her personal situation. You're getting angry with me first, okay?"
Yan Qilin: "Okay, I admit my attitude wasn't good, but I've just explained it clearly to you. Why do you have to hold on to one thing?"
After getting the water, Yan Nian returned to the room and shut out the noise.
I took my phone out of my bag and it was covered with software notifications.
There wasn't a single message on WeChat, which made me feel a little disappointed.
I still opened WeChat and sent him a message: [I'm already here, good night.]
Yan Nian took out her dressing box and her notebook.
I drew two Q-version figures sitting around a table eating birthday cake, with the note: Happy Birthday - ZR.
…
The next day.
Having been five minutes late to pick someone up last time, Yan Nian got up early today, ate breakfast actively, and left the house before Xu Yiqing.
Although there was no agreed arrival time last night, she still came according to the last time.
It was still half past eight when they arrived at Haiyue, and Zhou Ran did not wait for her on the roadside like he did last time.
Yan Nian sent him a message: [I'm already here.]
After a few seconds, she said again: [Same old position.]
After about a few minutes, the young master replied with a voice message.
Yan Nian clicked it to listen.
First there was a rustling sound, then heavy breathing, and then an impatient voice: "Are you picking someone up outside? Drive in."
Yan Nian: “…”
It was as if she had woken him up, and he was in a very bad mood when he woke up.
Yan Nian also forgot that the car could be driven in. After he reminded her, she immediately turned the steering wheel and drove the car into Haiyue Dushang.
Yan Nian still remembered where his parking space was. It was not far from the entrance of the corridor and easy to spot, so he parked directly in.
After parking the car, she sent him another message to say that she had arrived.
It was already nine o'clock when Zhou Ran came down twenty minutes later.
He opened the car door and got in, looking like he had been up all night.
Yan Nian: "Good morning, Mr. Zhou."
"Oh!" Zhou Ran said in a hard tone, "It's quite early."
Seeing him like this, Yan Nian decided it was not the time to talk, so she started the car, turned on the navigation and drove towards the company.
Arrived at Mingyu No. 1.
Yan Nian got out of the car and closed the door. Coincidentally, he saw Xu Mi walking towards him from the front right, spinning the car key chain with her index finger.
She crouched down and quickly retreated to the left rear door of the car.
Zhou Ran got out of the passenger seat and noticed her movements. He glanced to the right and smiled. He asked across the car, "What are you doing?"
His voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to bounce off the ground and create an echo.
Yan Nian was a little embarrassed and said in a very low voice, "I'll go up later."
At this time, Xu Mi had already looked over and greeted Zhou Ran: "Good morning, Mr. Zhou!"
Zhou Ran turned around: "Yeah."
Xu Mi looked towards the car, but there was no one else there. She thought he was on the phone and said, "Let's go together."
Seeing that she was hunched over and about to squat on the ground, Zhou Ran had no choice but to stretch out his long legs and walk towards Xu Mi with a smile.
Seeing that he was in a good mood, Xu Mi half-jokingly asked, "Mr. Zhou, why are you so happy today?"
Zhou Ran's smile faded a little as he entered the elevator.
Through the floor-to-ceiling glass, I saw Yan Niancai walk out from the side of the car after the two of them went in.
I arrived ten minutes later than usual to check in.
As soon as he arrived at his workstation, he heard Xu Mi ask Xu Xinrui: "Rui, have you ever seen Mr. Zhou smile? Just..."
She didn't know how to describe it: "It's that kind of smile, the kind that the male protagonist in the novel has, so manly and charming."
Xu Xinrui was amused by her description and asked, "What is that?"
Xu Mi said, "I greeted Mr. Zhou in the underground parking lot today, and he smiled like that when he walked towards me. Do you think he's attracted to me?"
Yan Nian: “…”
Xu Xinrui laughed out loud: "Come on, you're daydreaming right after arriving."
Xu Mi tutted, "I feel like he's the perfect match for me. I'm thinking of hitting on him again."
"Aren't you afraid of being fired?" Xu Xinrui didn't bother talking nonsense with her, picked up the cup and went to the tea room.
Yan Nian put down her bag, and Xu Mi twisted her chair over and asked, "Why are you so late today?"
?
Yan Nian glanced at her inexplicably: "Am I late?"
"Not really, there's still fifteen minutes." Xu Mi noticed that the car keys in her hand were more expensive than hers and asked, "Did you drive here?"
Yan Nian blinked awkwardly: "Yeah."
She saw Xu Mi as soon as she got out of the car, and she didn't have time to give him the car keys.
If she was seen hiding now, she would be discovered, so she had no choice but to put the car keys on the table blatantly.
After Xu Mi turned around, she picked up the cup, took the car keys and left the office.
She knocked on Zhou Ran's office door.
"Come in."
Yan Nian pushed the door open and saw Mr. Zhang inside. The two of them were standing next to the screen and talking about work.
They all turned to look at her, and Zhang Xiaohui continued, "There's a batch of samples that just came out of the new factory that isn't very ideal. Mr. Zhou, you'll have to talk to the factory about this."
Yan Nian wanted to turn around and leave.
Zhou Ran glanced at what she was holding, beckoned to her, opened his palm to signal him, and continued to listen to Zhang Xiaohui talk about the factory.
Yan Nian blinked, walked over reluctantly and put the car keys in his hand.
Zhang Xiaohui: "I've already contacted the technical staff, and they..."
Zhang Xiaohui's voice stopped as the two of them moved. He looked at the girl holding the cup of water, and then at the man in front of him.
After giving the car keys, Yan Nian turned around and walked out calmly.
Zhou Ran said to Zhang Xiaohui, "Go on."
Zhang Xiaohui couldn't help but ask, "What's going on with you?"
Everyone under him was talking about it. It was said that there was something going on between Mr. Zhou and the girl from the translation team. He thought it was just some unfounded gossip.
Zhou Ran walked to the office area, put the car keys on the desk, and said with a smile: "It's work time, no personal talk, what do the technical staff say?"
Zhang Xiaohui: "..."
