Chapter 49 Cup
The person in charge was stunned by Ji Min's attitude.
This was the first time Ji Min introduced someone like this.
He said he was very close to him, but it didn't seem like that.
But he was also very tolerant of the boy.
The person in charge was confused and finally decided to treat Ji Min literally.
Lu Ran took the food.
He remembered Ji Min's instructions and returned to Ji Min.
Ji Min came here to discuss business.
When Lu Ran came over, he was sitting at a round table.
Butler Chen stood behind him.
Lu Ran ate everything on the plate in two bites and stood over.
There were two people sitting opposite Ji Min.
One was the golden-haired foreigner who was just talking nonsense in Italian outside.
Lu Ran originally thought that Ji Min was discussing business with foreign companies this time.
But he found that the second young master of the Lino family with blond hair and blue eyes, his biological father was an out-and-out Chinese.
Lu Ran imitated the housekeeper Chen and stood there with his head down.
Occasionally, he was distracted and looked through the railing to the venue downstairs.
He was lost in thought, and the last name Lino seemed familiar.
Then his shoulder was bumped.
Lu Ran raised his head and took a look.
He saw a man with an eye-catching appearance. This man was obviously a mixed-race with a very recognizable appearance.
There was a romantic and unrestrained smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Jin!" The second young master greeted the visitor.
Seeing this man, Lu Ran suddenly realized that the Lino family sounded familiar.
Jin Lino.
The eldest son of the Lino family, this is one of Shen Xingran's top. It
was a love-hate relationship.
Because the Lino family moved abroad decades ago, and before the move, they had a feud with Mr. Shen's generation.
The Shen family and the Lino family are considered to be feuds.
Lu Ran doesn't mind all of this.
Because when this plot begins, he had already left the Shen family and started a life of hiding.
What makes Lu Ran disgusted is that
the Shen family is unwilling to recognize him, and when they are enjoying themselves, nothing good will happen to him without him.
As a result, when the Lino family attacks the Shen family indiscriminately, he is also included.
He was doing odd jobs outside, and if he was stepped on by the Shen family here, he would be stepped on two or three times by the Lino family who were against the Shen family.
Do you think he is a soft persimmon?
Lu Ran looked at Ji Min with his eyes and nose, and his face was quite calm.
After Jin came over, he glanced at Ji Min condescendingly.
He looked at Ji Min's legs in particular.
Lu Ran didn't know how to describe that look.
Just watching, he felt very uncomfortable, as if the pain of a person was completely revealed and turned around with a dagger.
"This is the eldest son of the Lino family." The translator introduced.
Then, the man went around to the other side of the round table and chatted with his brother and father in Italian.
The three of them laughed jokingly.
His eyes glanced at Ji Min faintly.
The translator beside him didn't know what he understood, and cold sweat was about to slide down his forehead.
Butler Chen also frowned slightly.
Lu Ran could guess that it was probably related to Ji Min's leg.
Lu Ran felt that Ji Min could probably guess it as well.
But surprisingly, the expression on the man's face was extremely calm.
He was even polite enough to wait for the three people opposite to finish laughing, and then he continued to talk about business in a leisurely tone.
Seeing that he didn't understand at all, the two young masters of the Lino family had more sarcasm in their eyes.
But their biological father, for some reason, looked a little solemn.
The negotiation lasted for a long time.
Lu Ran was a little surprised.
He didn't expect Ji Min to have such an image in the business world.
Watertight and unyielding.
He can completely ignore the ridicule in the other party's eyes for the sake of profit, and is as smooth as a thorough businessman.
And he is shrewd to death.
Lu Ran lowered his eyebrows.
He kept sighing in his heart that it is not easy to be a boss. He has to keep his emotions stable even when being ridiculed at the business table.
Little did he know that his well-behaved appearance attracted some attention.
In the middle of the negotiation, the atmosphere relaxed slightly.
Lu Ran turned around and wanted to eat something else.
He took a step, but was stopped by someone.
Lu Ran looked up and saw the eldest son of the Lino family, stretching his legs to stop him.
"You have beautiful eyes." The man smiled at him, and his eyes vaguely swept Lu Ran from head to toe.
His Mandarin was not very good, with a strong accent.
Lu Ran did not reply.
Then, the man who just praised her had a glint of malice in his eyes, and said in his awkward accent:
"You will be even more beautiful when you look up from my crotch."
This sentence made the atmosphere in the room sink to the freezing point.
Ji Min's face slowly darkened.
At this moment.
Jin Youcan smiled and said, "Just kidding."
He narrowed his eyes and shrugged his shoulders: "There's nothing I can do. I can't control my mouth when I see a beautiful woman."
The second young master Yang laughed when he heard this.
The fathers of the two did not show any expression, but they were also unorganized.
Lu Ran's face was completely calm.
He didn't have any shame or anger that a child of his age would have after being criticized.
He just kept his head down, and people who didn't know the situation would think he was afraid.
Lu Ran walked around Jin and continued to move forward.
At this time, the second young master Yang's wine glass suddenly fell over, and the red wine splashed all over Lu Ran's pants.
"I'm so sorry!"
Yang spoke carelessly in awkward Mandarin.
At this time, Ji Min said lightly: "Go to the bathroom to deal with it."
Lu Ran responded and walked to the side with half of his body covered in glaring wine.
The person in charge standing aside hurriedly took Lu Ran to the bathroom himself.
At first, the person in charge just thought that Ji Min was bringing someone's child to play.
Looking at Lu Ran's dress, he was unsure of Lu Ran's identity.
But no matter what, the impression of Lu Ran in his mind was just an ordinary teenager.
But now, leading Lu Ran all the way to the bathroom.
The impression in the heart of the person in charge was constantly changing.
Because Lu Ran was too calm.
This kind of calmness was not like a child of this age at all.
It was not like he was used to being bullied and swallowing his anger, and he did not feel sorry for himself.
This performance made the person in charge have some doubts in his heart.
As a result, his attitude towards Lu Ran became a little more respectful.
When they arrived at the bathroom door, the person in charge was still asking: "I asked someone to send a clean piece of clothing. Do you need help?"
"No need." Lu Ran shook his head and refused, "I'll just wipe it clean."
Hearing this, the person in charge did not insist.
Lu Ran was in the bathroom, using tissues and towels to absorb the wine on his body.
It was very cold outside, but the air conditioning in the banquet hall was very strong, so Lu Ran was not very cold.
He wiped himself for a while.
There was a sound outside the bathroom door.
Lu Ran turned around and saw a wheelchair slowly driving in.
It was Ji Min.
"What are you doing here?" Lu Ran asked.
The man was silent for a while, looked at the wine stains on his body, and asked: "Are you not angry?"
Lu Ran was very frank: "Of course I am angry."
He said angry words, but there was no anger in his eyes, only darkness.
Ji Min frowned slightly and stared at his eyes for a long time.
"Then why are you not angry?" he asked.
Lu Ran shrugged at him: "You, the boss, have to endure it, so how can I, an employee, be angry."
Ji Min was silent and did not speak.
In fact, today's business is not very important, otherwise he would not have made an appointment in such a place and brought Lu Ran with him.
Keeping calm during negotiations is just his usual habit.
Lu Ran threw all the toilet paper soaked with alcohol into the trash can.
He picked up the hair dryer beside him and blew the clothes a little.
After doing all this, he was the first to leave the bathroom.
Ji Min was about to follow him out.
When he reached the exit, he saw Lu Ran coming back. He
was holding a tray with three empty cups in it.
Ji Min was stunned.
He watched him come in with the cups.
This action made Ji Min's brain unable to find the right nerve for a while, and he was stunned for a long time.
When he came to his senses, he saw Lu Ran entering the barrier-free bathroom next to him.
Ji Min followed him subconsciously.
He asked blankly: "Where did you get the cup?"
"Ask the uncle outside." Lu Ran's voice was very cheerful.
Ji Min paused.
In his nearly thirty years of life, he has never seen anyone carrying a cup into a bathroom stall.
At this moment, he really couldn't think of what Lu Ran was going to do.
Out of some kind of confused curiosity, he walked around the partition door and stopped in front of the cubicle door to take a look.
He saw Lu Ran holding the foot of the high-footed cup and putting the cup mouth down into the toilet.
As his hand shook.
A crisp and pleasant sound of water came.
Ji Min was completely silent.
After a few seconds, his scalp exploded and he asked, "What are you doing?"
Lu Ran looked up at him while busying himself and explained, "They provoked me, and I am not a person who can tolerate it. Of course I have to retaliate."
Lu Ran looked into Ji Min's eyes:
"But you have helped me a lot, and I can't cause trouble for you, so I can only reluctantly retaliate in this way in secret."
Ji Min felt a little complicated.
On the one hand, this scene was beyond his cognition, and it seemed a bit explosive and funny.
On the other hand, he couldn't help being shocked by the sincerity and scruples in the boy's words.
This made Ji Min speechless for a while.
"And they are also very disrespectful to you, aren't you angry?"
The boy didn't forget to pull him into the team at this time.
What surprised Ji Min even more was.
The boy stared at him with a pair of well-behaved black eyes, and explained to him reasonably, but his hands did not stop moving at all.
Soak the cups one by one in the toilet water.
He did such a nonsensical and even crazy thing, but his emotions were completely calm and rational.
For a moment, a huge contrast appeared on Lu Ran's face, which still had the immaturity of a teenager.
Ji Min suddenly became curious.
What on earth had this kid gone through
to make him do such a thing without showing any emotion?
After soaking for a few minutes.
Lu Ran picked up the cups one by one.
When he picked them up, he did not shake off the water.
The toilet water flowed along the wall of the cup and gradually gathered into a small pool at the bottom of the high-foot cup.
Ji Min immediately realized clearly what Lu Ran was going to do.
He held his forehead and said, "Although, but..."
"They are too much. They talked about your legs and said the same thing to me." Lu Ran raised his head and stared at Ji Min, and asked, "Do you have a better way to retaliate?"
Ji Min certainly did.
In the second half of the negotiation, the people of Lino's family will know their fate.
In the process of project implementation, there are plenty of ways to make people suffer, or even beg for mercy.
But...
Ji Min looked at the three cups on the tray.
For a moment, it seemed that no method was as effective as Lu Ran's...
He was silent.
The boy continued to work happily.
After "soaking" all three cups.
He even washed his hands slowly before carrying the tray out.
Ji Min followed behind silently.
His usually stagnant state of mind now seemed to be rolling with turbulent waves.
He watched Lu Ran pour three full glasses of wine.
The deep red wine mixed with the transparent liquid at the bottom of the glass and finally merged into one.
After Lu Ran finished all this, he returned to the round table with his clothes soaked by wine.
Ji Min followed behind him, watching the boy lower his head, looking cautious. He
apologized to the three people at the table:
"I'm sorry, I do have some connection with the Shen family, but I also don't like the Shen family! These three glasses of wine are for you three, I hope it won't affect your mood."
The young man placed the three glasses of wine in front of the three people with trepidation.
He seemed to have thought of something again, and hurriedly asked the waiter behind him for a clean empty glass, carefully pinched the foot of the glass, filled it with wine and drank it in one gulp.
He showed the bottom of the glass to the three people from the Lino family: "I've done it, you three are free to do as you please."
This operation was obviously very useful to the three people.
After all, they were people around Ji Min, and they just made a mess.
The business still needs to continue.
So the three people gave face and all picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Ji Min returned to the round table.
He stared at the three people with his eyes wide open...his lips touched the wall of the cup that had just been soaked in the toilet.
Lu Ran was still acting.
He saw that the three people finally drank the wine, and he breathed a sigh of relief cautiously.
Then he stood a little further away, pretending to be afraid of disturbing them.
The three people opposite him knew nothing. He
still had that arrogant look on his face.
For a moment.
The usually indifferent President Ji was filled with sympathy for the first time.
