Chapter 45 Paid Schooling
There was only a question mark from the other side.
Before Lu Ran could wait for a reply, he felt sleepy and fell asleep holding his phone.
He thought he would be a little uneasy.
Because too many things happened today.
But surprisingly, Lu Ran slept very peacefully at night.
He hadn't felt so peaceful for a long time. He
even almost got up late the next morning.
He bought breakfast as usual and took Da Huang to Ji's.
On the way, he remembered something, took out his phone again, and turned to the chat page.
Ji Min replied again.
A short line of words popped up a multiple-choice question, answering: Da Huang is more handsome.
Lu Ran stared at the screen of his mobile phone for a while, and suddenly it became clear.
He squatted down and stared at Da Huang's little eyes for a long time.
Da Huang was confused by his gaze and thought that the owner was playing with it, so he jumped up and pounced on Lu Ran.
Lu Ran hugged it, and Mua kissed it:
"My son is still charming."
It seems that he is not plotting against him because he is more handsome than Zhang Lin.
When Lu Ran came to Ji's today, Ji Min was not in the office.
After a while, this person returned to the office while explaining something to his assistant.
Seeing Lu Ran's presence, he did not forget to ask: "What do you think?"
Lu Ran hugged Da Huang and nodded: "I want to do it!"
Why do you have so many entanglements? You are a bastard who doesn't make money!
But he was a little confused in an instant and asked: "What do I need to do?"
Ji Min said concisely: "Take good care of your dog."
"Ah?"
That's it?
Lu Ran suddenly felt that the money was a little hot.
Ji Min paused, and seemed to think that the job was a bit simple.
He thought about it, and then said, "Stay by my side, I'll ask you to do something inconvenient."
Lu Ran understood.
But that day, Lu Ran went to the coffee shop where he worked as usual.
He told his boss that he was resigning, and waited for his boss's consent before leaving.
He officially went to work the next day, which happened to be a weekend.
But Ji Min was a person who did not have two days off, so he came to work as usual. Lu Ran
was eager to go on the first day of work. He
got up early and waited directly in Ji's parking lot.
As soon as Ji Min's car stopped, he saw the boy standing by the elevator from a distance.
The moment the boy saw the car, his eyes lit up, and he ran over with the dog on a leash.
Butler Chen, who was sitting in the passenger seat, saw this and raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, looking at Ji Min behind him with a teasing look.
Ji Min raised his hand to stroke his forehead and sighed slightly.
He rarely does anything on a whim.
Letting Lu Ran be his assistant is the first choice.
But the reason is even more inexplicable.
He can't say that because he saw this kid working outside and getting himself in a mess, he was inexplicably unhappy, so he found an excuse to keep him.
If he said this, Uncle Chen would probably laugh at him for a year.
Seeing the boy outside the car running over, his pace was as cheerful as the puppy beside him.
Ji Min opened the car door.
As soon as he lowered the barrier-free stairs, he saw Lu Ran turning a corner and rushing straight to the passenger seat.
Almost sticking to the glass, he greeted happily: "Uncle!"
Ji Min: "..."
Looking at his posture, those who didn't know would think that it was Butler Chen who paid him.
Butler Chen got out of the car and smiled when he saw Lu Ran: "Good morning."
"Good morning." Lu Ran was still circling Butler Chen.
Until the people who got off the back seat began to shiver.
Butler Chen suppressed his smile and winked at Lu Ran.
Lu Ran then remembered his job content and walked towards Ji Min with Da Huang.
He greeted: "Good morning, boss."
Ji Min: "Ha."
So you still remember who the boss is.
Lu Ran saw his wheelchair fall to the ground, and subconsciously turned to the back and held the armrest.
Ji Min was stunned and didn't react yet.
Butler Chen was about to remind him when he saw Lu Ran pushing Ji Min towards the elevator.
Ever since Ji Min's legs were disabled after the car accident, he has been reluctant to have his wheelchair touched by others.
He seemed to be holding on to some ridiculous bottom line, or wanted to prove that he had not become a useless person who could not take care of himself.
So he would rather choose to control it remotely by himself.
Until now, Ji Min experienced the wind and lightning on the spot.
The boy behind him pushed very fast.
The oncoming wind blew away Ji Min's hair, and a few strands of hair broke free from the restraint of hair gel, gently hung on his eyebrows, and then slightly opened.
Ji Min usually moves very steadily.
This time, for the first time in a wheelchair, he experienced the thrill of racing in his youth.
He was stunned.
The words to stop him were stuck on the tip of his tongue for a moment.
The next second, the excited boy behind him seemed to suddenly remember something.
He let out an "ah" and suddenly let go of his hand.
So, in front of the stunned Chen, Ji Min's driver, assistant, and all the Ji's employees who worked overtime on the weekend in the parking lot.
Their boss, who was always gloomy and looked disgusted with the world, and even the wheelchair seemed particularly heavy...
Sitting in the wheelchair, he slid forward several meters due to inertia.
The moment he pressed the brake to stop, his whole body even shook.
In this somewhat funny scene.
Everyone present was as quiet as a chicken.
Until the man in the wheelchair gritted his teeth and spat out a name: "Lu! Ran!"
"Oh, sorry." Lu Ran explained hurriedly. "I suddenly remembered that you don't like people touching your wheelchair?"
Ji Min: "..."
Isn't it too late to ask this now.
Lu Ran looked at his gloomy face and thought to himself that it was over.
He might be fired on his first day at work.
Ji Min forced his face to be stiff.
The reason why he said it was forced was because he himself found this scene unexpectedly funny.
There was a string tied in his mind, telling him that he should be angry.
His mood was like that of a child who was addicted to playing and couldn't get angry no matter what.
Ji Min could only put on a stern face and reminded in a cold tone: "Hold your dog well."
"Oh." Lu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he was not fired.
He bent down and picked up Da Huang, walked slowly to Ji Min, and asked: "So should I push it now, or do you do it yourself?"
Ji Min paused and turned on the remote control himself.
The wheelchair moved forward slowly as usual.
At a stagnant rhythm.
Lu Ran fell behind and secretly asked Butler Chen: "Is he angry?"
Butler Chen looked at Ji Min and was a little surprised.
He shook his head and said: "It's hard to say." He
didn't look angry at all.
After returning to the office, Ji Min quickly got into work mode.
Lu Ran did not disturb him.
He didn't know what he needed to do, so he curled up in a corner of the sofa like Da Huang.
But he was not as heartless as Da Huang.
After curling up for a while, he always felt that he was not worthy of his salary.
In the gap between Ji Min's work, Lu Ran couldn't help but asked, "Do I need to do something?" The
boy asked with a confused voice, which made Ji Min stunned.
He paused his hand movements, rubbed his knuckles with the tip of his thumb, and didn't speak for a long time.
Because Ji Min didn't know what he wanted Lu Ran to do.
The child is only a freshman, and he can't do too professional things.
He doesn't need to do some trivial things.
Before, when Ji Min took the initiative to go to the coffee shop, he also offered to find a job for Lu Ran.
This was a simple task for him.
There were many jobs suitable for Lu Ran in the situations he was familiar with.
With his introduction, no one would make things difficult for Lu Ran at work.
But now, this option only appeared in Ji Min's mind for a moment, and then it was suppressed again.
Ji Min continued with his hands and only asked, "Have you passed the English Level 4?"
"I just passed the test, but the scores haven't come out yet." Lu Ran said.
He didn't understand why Ji Min asked this, but after thinking about it, he said, "I should be able to pass."
"Then go and look at the vocabulary and test questions for the Level 6 test."
The man arranged his work with just one sentence.
Lu Ran: "..."
He was silent for two seconds, and took out a vocabulary book and a test paper from his bag.
He originally brought these with him to read during breaks at work.
Now I didn't expect that there are breaks everywhere.
Lu Ran lay on the armrest of the sofa and began to do exercises silently.
The office became quiet again for a while.
Occasionally someone came in, looked at the boy lying on the sofa, and was shocked.
He hid his shock and went out silently.
Lu Ran did the exercises and slowly immersed himself in it.
It was almost lunch time.
Ji Min put down the work at hand and leaned back in his chair.
It was still cloudy this morning.
The sun has come out now, and the golden sunlight shines in from the window in winter and hits a corner of the sofa.
On the black leather sofa.
The young boy was lying on it, his posture had changed from being awkward at first to a relaxed prone position.
He was looking up words with his head down, the sunlight cast a hazy golden hue on his soft black hair.
Ji Min squinted at the scene, and suddenly felt a very faint joy.
Just like when he looked up at the puppy on the sofa during a break from work some time ago.
This joy was very shallow.
It was unpredictable, and the reason was vague.
It was as if a bright color suddenly broke into the dead silence of life.
There was no need to do anything, the existence of this bright color was enough to stir up ripples.
However, it seemed that something was not pleasing to the eye.
Ji Min looked at it for a while, raised his hand to pick up the phone, and sent a message to his assistant.
Lu Ran was having a great time doing the questions.
He hadn't had such an immersive study for a long time.
After he turned sixteen, he started looking for a part-time job.
So when others were discussing what to eat after class, he was thinking about how to compress his time and make more money.
In the gaps between part-time jobs, he worked hard to learn something.
His mind was always floating in the air, pulling back and forth between the two endpoints.
This time, when Lu Ran was tempted by the smell of food and looked up,
he unexpectedly felt like waking up from a dream.
Butler Chen was smiling at him gently, saying, "Don't forget to eat while studying."
As he said that, he placed the food and tableware on the tea table in front of Lu Ran.
"I can do it myself." Lu Ran said hurriedly.
He had never been taken care of like this before, and he felt a little embarrassed.
Butler Chen smiled and left.
Lu Ran took two bites of the food, then he remembered that he was working now, and he quickly raised his head to look at Ji Min.
The man sat behind the desk, eating in a very gentle posture.
His every move showed good upbringing.
Lu Ran watched for a while and felt that this was probably what Mrs. Shen had been pursuing.
After lunch, Lu Ran cleaned up the plates.
He was going to collect Ji Min's plates again.
Butler Chen came over and said, "Let me do it."
He took the plate from Lu Ran's hand gently but without letting him refuse.
Lu Ran slowly sat back on the sofa.
The confusion that had just been suppressed by the practice questions surged up again.
Until after lunch.
The door of the office opened, and two workers in work clothes brought in a set of tables and chairs.
The tables and chairs were very simple, similar to the single desks in school.
After the desks were placed, Ji Min raised his chin over there and said, "Don't lie on the sofa, it's not good for your eyes, sit over there."
Lu Ran: "..."
He silently dawdled over there with his book. He
was pissed off inside.
What the hell is this.
Paid schooling?
