First clues
Please cancel your account. It was Jiang Liu. Yu Ran wasn't surprised when he discovered this; it was more like he expected it.
Besides, isn’t it better that the person who has always supported his career is Jiang Liu rather than someone else?
It was expected, but this ecstasy was so overwhelming, like being poisoned.
So, Yu Ran started to sell CP mode like crazy. One pair is naturally the official pairing of Song Yiran and Jing Liu, and the other pair is Ran Yuan and Xiao Xiao.
Of course, Yu Ran's method of selling another pair was just the same as before: pinning, liking, and replying. The interaction was both subtle and obvious, with secret codes and riddles, hiding affection and revealing affection.
Readers read it day and night.
"Song Yiran (heart symbol) Jingliu. Ranyuan (heart symbol) Xiaoxiao."
Comments like these are common, and some people even copy interesting comments verbatim to the group.
Qiqi, Youyou, and Jane who saw this kind of news——
"Actually, there's another couple, but we're just keeping it a secret."
In fact, there are probably quite a few people who know the real names of Yu Ran and Jiang Liu, because since the matter of Master Guan Shiqian was successfully resolved, the studio's fame is one thing, but turning "traffic" into real customer orders is another.
The former benefited from the popularity of "What is the Crime of the King", and the latter was helped by Jian Xun, a fan of the book and the person involved. It is estimated that Guan Xueqing and her husband also helped a lot behind the scenes, which resulted in a lot of customer orders.
Of course, the most important thing is Jiang Liu's sincerity and ingenuity.
Of course, the mysterious man Xiaoxiao suddenly changed his profile picture to a sunny and cheerful big dog, and the reason behind it also attracted much discussion from others.
"Xiaoxiao, have you seen our dog sculpture? Please let Ranyuan see it, okay?"
"Isn't that a bit too much? After all, I'm not sure what the relationship between Xiaoxiao and Ranyuan is."
"He likes it very much." Xiaoxiao said concisely.
"He loves it."
"He loves it."
…
"Does Ranyuan like the Shetland Sheepdog or you?" Yu Ran grasped the key point, feeling confident and fearless. Oh no, I'm afraid he might be spoiled and arrogant.
This news undoubtedly triggered a group chat, and the two troublemakers quietly disappeared behind the screen...
"How should I write today?" Jiang Liu got the news quickly.
"It depends on how we chase her today." Yu Ran said.
This conversation was like two people drinking together at a feast - both were in high spirits.
"roll."
He was very frugal with words, and even his angry words were cute. I didn't expect that Jiang Liu would not be cute anymore, and he just vented his anger and brought nothing back.
Yu Ran looked at the smiling Shetland Sheepdog as if he was looking in the mirror.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Liu was in real trouble.
Jiang Liu put down his phone, and his work WeChat rang again. It was a friend request from the same person.
Even though the person's WeChat account was carefully disguised, Jiang Liu could still tell it was a fake account. Since he was wary of him, he should be wary of him too. So Jiang Liu ignored it several times.
That person's friend request went from a blank message to "Approved. I want to learn about flower arrangement. Urgent."
Jiang Liu felt that this direct and imperative tone was the most problematic and ignored it.
The third time, "Please come through, I'm a customer. Urgent."
Jiang Liu: "Sima Zhao, I'm going to kill you with anxiety."
The fourth time, "Please let me through. I need your help. Thank you."
Jiang Liu turned a blind eye. What was he up to?
The fifth time, which was also this time, was, "Please accept the friend request. I would like to appreciate your exquisite work."
Jiang Liu scoffed at his "flowery" remarks, but still reluctantly allowed it to pass because he really wanted to meet him.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang?"
"Hello, it's me." According to the usual conversation, Jiang Liu's next sentence would definitely be "What do you need?" But this time there was nothing else except a polite greeting. Jiang Liu just waited quietly, ready to respond.
"You're so eager to add me as a friend, but you don't even say a word after adding me." Jiang Liu's suspicion grew even more. If he was really impatient, a normal person would definitely organize the conversation first so that it would be easier to copy and paste as soon as possible.
The other party obviously didn't expect Jiang Liu to agree. Logically speaking, the wording of the fourth proposal was a significant improvement over the previous ones, yet Jiang Liu still didn't approve it.
Moreover, the fifth time was passed in seconds, catching the other party off guard.
Jiang Liu was about to change her account to test her intern boyfriend, but this guy suddenly said something without a context:
“Is your studio still hiring?”
"I haven't sent out any recruitment materials?" Jiang Liu thought to himself. He had hired Qi Zhen out of kindness at first, seeing that she was a student and short of money. Later, he hired Yu Ran to prepare two meals a day, and it was not expected that he would come to the studio to help out. Why did this person come up and ask unfounded questions?
Everything he does is suspicious.
"Oh, where did you see it? The job openings posted on different platforms are different." Jiang Liu deliberately lied.
The other party was evasive, avoiding the question: "Are there any vacancies for odd jobs?"
"No. Let's look for another job." Jiang Liu thought that there were no vacancies, so Yu Ran took on all the work, including sanitation, transport, errands, welcoming guests, operations, publicity, and art. While this was the case on the surface, she was secretly having an illicit relationship with her boss, including chatting, playing, eating, driving, serving as a private chef, bodyguard, and even an intern boyfriend.
Just when I was about to delete the friend, the person got anxious and said hurriedly, I only want half of the money, 4k will be fine, no need for food and accommodation.
Jiang Liu was shocked, which meant that he knew that the initial salary he offered to Yu Ran was 8k!
Who was this person? He was so anxious to get close to him. He might know more than Jiang Liu had anticipated.
With this in mind, Jiang Liu immediately checked the surveillance footage at the studio entrance. After watching for several days, he could hardly detect any abnormalities. Customers were arriving one after another, and it was a hot summer day, so both men and women were wearing sunscreen, which was a natural disguise for anyone who was truly suspicious.
So, Jiang Liu sent the chat history and the friend requests from the past few days to Yu Ran.
Jiang Liu didn't express his own opinion for the time being, so as not to influence Yu Ran's judgment in any way.
"How?" Jiang Liu asked after a moment.
"People with bad intentions are always weird."
"I think so too."
The two of them shared the same opinion. They used each other's opinion as evidence to support each other's opinion.
Jiang Liu shared the surveillance footage again. Yu Ran watched it all night, and in the middle of the night, he sent a message, "Look, on July 6th, around 5:21 PM, after I left the studio, someone came out from a blind spot on the surveillance camera, walked in a straight line, and seemed to be following me."
"From his build and gait, I determined that this person seemed to have been appearing and passing by from time to time since the end of June."
"You're very perceptive. What did you do that day?"
"Here are shumai and seaweed rolls."
Jiang Liu thought about how he suddenly felt like eating Cantonese food that evening, so he casually mentioned Yu Ran and immediately set off. Unfortunately, the morning tea shop was closed early, so Yu Ran bought some malt sugar on the way back.
"Did you notice that you were being followed that day?"
"No, I went to several houses that day, and I guess I lost it. Look at this guy, he knows how to avoid surveillance." Yu Ran was referring to the day on July 6 when he suddenly appeared from the dark.
"Well, let's take a look. How should I respond?" Jiang Liu asked what to do after the man said 4k.
"Ignore him. I think he's more anxious than you."
"good."
Jiang Liu left Yu Ran, who was busy with his own affairs, behind and ignored the equally anxious Yu Ran, who was eager to fall in love.
"I told you to ignore him, why are you ignoring me?"
"It's 1 a.m., I'm sleepy, is it okay?" Although Jiang Liu said this, he still stared at the screen reluctantly, waiting for Yu Ran to say anything else.
"Good night then, good dog."
This sentence really irritated Jiang Liu, "Good dog? Who are you referring to?"
"Talking to myself and comforting myself."
…
The next morning, it was probably the steamed dumplings and seaweed rolls that gave Yu Ran a heads-up. He went to the market and bought a bunch of ingredients, ready to replicate Cantonese-style dim sum.
I thought Jiang Liu was still asleep, but he came out with a worried look on his face and said, "Look, that guy is here again!"
Yu Ran took a quick look and immediately said, "Quick, the next time he appears on the surveillance camera, send him a WeChat message and see if he'll check his phone at the same time."
So, Jiang Liu first entered the content in the dialog box, and two pairs of telescopes stared at the screen together. When the person got bored waiting in the blind spot of the surveillance camera, he would also pretend to be nothing and walk around with his hands behind his back.
The next second, the man casually wandered into a corner of the surveillance camera. Jiang Liu's information immediately followed up on the victory.
"Well, let's discuss the salary."
Sure enough! The man suddenly lowered his head to operate his phone, then leaned nonchalantly against the glass door of the studio. He glanced inside to make sure no one was there, then lowered his head again.
"Okay, I'll be there for the interview at 8:30 am sharp."
The two exchanged a smile. This guy was quite the sly one. It was almost eight o'clock, and he'd just strolled around and had breakfast just in time for the interview? How could being a stalker be so comfortable?
So, Jiang Liu deliberately waited until 8:20 before slowly replying, "Sorry, I was having breakfast with my family and didn't check my phone."
"It's okay, take your time, I'm at the door." It can be heard that the man was trying his best to control his temper.
At 9 o'clock, Jiang Liu lied: "Well, I'm leaving."
At 9:20, Jiang Liu wiped his mouth and began to comb his hair and change his clothes. Yu Ran had already ironed his clothes for him.
9:43, "It's rush hour, the roads are very congested. We're almost there."
It was barely 10 a.m. when Jiang Liu and Yu Ran leisurely appeared at the studio door. Yu Ran went to park the car, and Jiang Liu got out first. Unexpectedly...
The first thing the man said when he came in was, "Mr. Jiang, the boss is here to open the door himself. Where are your employees?"
Jiang Liu was stunned. He always felt that this person seemed to care whether Yu Ran showed up or not.
The breathless Yu Ran on the other end of the phone: "..."
"What a coincidence, he's off these days. That's when I realized I should hire another employee to take over the shift."
The man sat with his back to the door. If he hadn't left so many clues before, judging from this well-prepared conversation, he would have been an excellent interviewer.
Jiang Liu noted his appearance while observing him with restraint and courtesy: a young man with a "Zhou"-shaped face. His face was square and wide, and his black hair, which was neither too long nor too short, covered his cheekbones and chin. The most surprising thing was that despite his unruly style, his eyes were quite clear.
Jiang Liu subtly brought the topic to flower arrangement. The young man was well prepared and was talking when the doorbell rang behind him.
"Good morning, Mr. Jiang, this is..."
Yu Ran appeared at the right time, startling the young man. He choked on his words midway and lowered his head to slightly adjust the two hairs that formed the shape of the Chinese character "Zhou", not wanting to attract too much attention.
"Who is this?"
"I'm here for an interview. If you don't want to rest, get to work."
"It's okay, let's continue." Jiang Liu said to the interviewer.
The interviewer looked strange, said a few perfunctory words and then hurriedly said he had something to do and had to leave.
"Wait for a call." Jiang Liu said, mercifully letting him go.
Yu Ran and Jiang Liu looked at each other in tacit understanding...
