Chapter 81 The Broad-minded Mr. Zhou
In first class.
In the closed and quiet cabin, Zhou Ran had slept for almost three hours.
The plane flew across the sky and slowly descended from the clouds. The buildings on the ground gradually became clearer and clearer.
Landed safely and stopped steadily.
Gu Pingping couldn't bear to wake up the man next to her.
In order to ensure that the new production equipment introduced into the factory is foolproof, he works in the factory almost every day, and his work and rest schedule is arranged accordingly. During the day, while the workers go to work, he holds meetings with the management, and at night he personally supervises the equipment manufacturer's debugging.
Less than four hours of rest a day.
Two weeks of busyness finally ended this morning. Originally planning to rest for a night and come back tomorrow afternoon, Zhou Ran insisted on changing the flight to noon today.
I hurried back to the hotel, changed my equipment and set off again.
After the passengers gradually stood up, Gu Pingping patted Zhou Ran gently and said, "Mr. Zhou, we're here."
Zhou Ran opened his eyes tiredly and sat up straight.
Gu Pingping said, "The driver is here, and I've arranged lunch for him."
Zhou Ran regained consciousness a bit, and remembering that someone was waiting outside, his tiredness vanished. He said, "No need. You and the driver can go back later. I have an appointment."
Gu Pingping didn't ask much about his boss's personal life: "Okay, I'll have the driver send your luggage back when you get home."
"Um."
Zhou Ran stood up. His towering height and sleek figure made him look extraordinary. The stewardess's voice was much gentler: "Please take care."
Zhou Ran nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."
The flight attendant smiled gently: "It's my duty. Be careful with your step and have a safe journey."
Gu Pingping who was following behind: "..."
Tsk, you're in such a good mood? Something's wrong!
Zhou Ran didn't care about the looks around him. His phone had just connected to the Internet and kept ringing. He strode away from Gu Pingping.
Looking for the message from her among the many messages.
Twenty minutes ago, Yan Nian sent him a picture: [I'm waiting for you here.]
Zhou Ran curled his lips, locked his phone and left.
Outside the terminal, Yan Nian waited for more than half an hour, repeatedly checking the time, as if he would appear immediately when the time came.
My eyes were always searching for his shadow in the passing crowd.
I saw that extremely conspicuous figure walking towards me.
Yan Nian curled his lips and waved.
The crowd was too dense, and Zhou Ran seemed not to see her, and was concentrating on reading the message.
Yan Nian pushed through the crowd and walked upstream, quickly approaching him. She didn't run over to hug him enthusiastically like in the movies, but instead walked up to him and watched him chatting with her.
"I'm here."
Zhou Ran stopped typing, raised his eyes in the noisy environment, and saw the person in front of him clearly.
Zhou Ran was in a trance.
The girl who came to pick her up seemed to have grown up in the blink of an eye, as if urged by something.
They smiled at each other in the crowd, neither of them moving their eyes away.
Yan Nian: "Welcome home, Mr. Zhou."
It’s not welcome to Lingyun, but welcome home.
The words "home" were full of magic. Zhou Ran raised his hand wearily and smoothed her hair. "Let's go, Yan will translate."
Yan Nian naturally grabbed his hand and led him away from the noisy and crowded place.
A long time ago, she had thought that when she met him at the airport, the thing she wanted to do most was to reach out to him.
However, she was so many years late.
Zhou Ran let her lead the way, and when he saw the car keys in her hand, he asked, "Are you driving?"
Yan Nian was a little excited: "Well, have you eaten?"
Zhou Ran rarely saw her so happy. He squeezed her hand and replied, "No."
He had been catching up on his sleep and no one had disturbed his rest.
Furthermore, the food on the plane is not good.
Yan Nian asked, "I haven't eaten either. What do you want to eat?"
Zhou Ran frowned: "What time is it now? Why haven't you eaten yet?"
Yan Nian choked up. It was already past three in the afternoon. She said, "I'm at home watching people and don't have time to eat."
Zhou Ran asked with a smile: "Who are you looking at?"
Yan Nian: "My mother goes out very late every day, so I took her phone and drove away."
This move is quite cruel.
"Yeah." Zhou Ran smiled, not asking about her family affairs. He was still thinking about the message Yan Nian sent before he took off, and asked, "Don't you have something to tell me?"
Yan Nian decided to wait until after dinner: "Let's eat first!"
We found a restaurant by the river and it was already past four o'clock when we came out after dinner.
Yan Nian said, "I'll take you home to rest first."
The car stopped on the road to the riverside park and the two walked forward side by side.
The autumn wind brings the fragrance of osmanthus, and the weather is very comfortable.
If she wasn't in a hurry to send him back, Yan Nian would have wanted to walk with him for a while.
The closer you get to the parking lot, the fewer people there are.
Zhou Ran walked to the edge of a guardrail and continued the topic before dinner: "Let's talk business."
Yan Nian slowed down her pace, she didn't know where to start.
After a moment's hesitation, he mustered up the courage to ask carefully, "Zhou Ran, my internship is almost a month old. How's your assessment of my permanent position going?"
Yan Nian bit her lip. She had been thinking a lot recently. If Zhou Ran was still brooding over something that happened in the past, how would she give him a reasonable explanation?
Zhou Ran found it funny when he heard it. He almost forgot about the matter of becoming a regular employee.
Hasn't spoken yet.
Yan Nian suddenly became serious: "If it's because of something in the past, I can explain it to you now."
Unexpectedly, she would bring this up. Zhou Ran suppressed the smile on his face and said seriously, "I've said before that every choice deserves respect. You have your choice."
Zhou Ran has always believed that bringing up the past is nothing more than opening up old scars to see if they have healed.
No matter what the original reason was, there is no point in explaining it anymore.
He was indeed unwilling to accept it.
Those reluctances came from the fact that he still liked this person, to the extreme.
Therefore, what he wanted now was not these explanations, nor was it her blind flattery out of guilt.
Instead, the person standing in front of him was a lively person who loved him wholeheartedly and radiated light at all times.
After hearing this, Yan Nian felt a little flustered. She could feel that Zhou Ran liked her, but she was not sure whether he would remember the past and reconsider her.
Zhou Ran gritted his teeth and said, "Yan Nian, when did I ask you to explain?"
Never from beginning to end.
Yan Nian was speechless, knowing that she had messed up again. She was originally very happy to pick him up and then send him back to rest according to the procedure, so she shouldn't have mentioned all this.
Zhou Ran looked at her dodging eyes and smiled, "My greatest strength is my broad mind."
“…”
Zhou Ran lifted her chin and looked at him: "But, only to you, understand?"
Yan Nian almost raised her entire face, looked at him with mixed emotions, and swallowed hard.
Zhou Ran leaned over and placed a kiss on the corner of her mouth: "If you want to explain, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. I only have one request, don't do it again."
It will not happen again, it is very deterrent.
Yan Nian's eyes were red as she burrowed into his arms, a bitter feeling welling up in her heart. "Okay, I won't do this again. Then, in two days, after a month, I'll automatically become a regular employee."
Zhou Ran smiled. In his mind, there was no longer any question of whether he would be considered for a permanent position. He was already satisfied as he had gradually brought her into his side.
He gently comforted her: "Does it matter whether you turn around or not? It doesn't matter whether you should be kissed or hugged. Do you want me to list them for you?"
Yan Nian's face flushed: "No need."
At this moment, the knot hidden deep in my heart seemed to be broken. After several times, this long journey finally came to an end.
It was like a dream, and when she woke up, he was still hers.
Zhou Ran asked, "Besides this, do you have anything else you want to say to me?"
Yan Nian: "Yes."
