Chapter 64 Identity
Hearing this familiar question again.
Ji Min was still stunned for a moment.
Compared with the cautious test last time, this time Lu Ran's tone was not only firm.
There was even an indescribable sigh.
Ji Min's mood was different from the last time he heard it.
He stared at the child in front of him.
I have to say, at this moment, he felt that Lu Ran was a bit awesome.
In his territory.
Wearing clothes prepared by him, eating food prepared by him.
Since he can still ask this question that he had clearly rejected long ago without guilt and embarrassment.
This psychological quality...
No wonder he can speak publicly about enoki mushrooms and king abalone mushrooms.
I have to say he is a genius...
Moreover, the tone was so confident and resolute that Ji Min could hardly explain the guilt in his heart.
He was silent for a moment, and threw the guilt out of his mind. He
took a sip of the tea on the table, and then asked calmly:
"Didn't I answer this question before?"
The child at the table didn't feel guilty or ashamed at all when he heard it.
He even picked up another shrimp dumpling and put it in his mouth, biting it with his cheeks bulging.
Then he said to him seriously: "You didn't like me at that time, but it doesn't mean you don't like me now."
Ji Min: "..."
At first glance, this sounded like there was nothing wrong with it.
But this inexplicable confidence...
Ji Min raised his hand to support his forehead and let out a breath silently.
He has met many attentive people in his life.
There are many people who recommend themselves to him.
Even though he is sitting in a wheelchair now, there are sometimes short-sighted partners who want to play tricks when negotiating business.
But...
this is the first time that Ji Min has met someone who thinks he likes him.
But...
it seems that he really provoked it.
Ji Min didn't know what to say for a moment.
He racked his brains to think about how to correct the child's distorted thoughts without rejecting him too rigidly.
He was silent for a little longer.
Lu Ran understood.
He sighed deeply: "Actually, I understand it."
Ji Min was confused: "..."
What did you understand?
He didn't say anything!
Lu Ran sighed again and looked at Ji Min with a serious face: "I know that what I said recently touched you."
Ji Min: "?"
What words, which words?
Lu Ran shook his head and said earnestly: "It's normal for a man to be moved by others' praise."
He even praised himself subtly: "After all, I said it so sincerely and vividly outside." He
also used something common in life as an analogy - abalone mushroom.
And he used the rhetorical device of (cross out) pull and step (cross out) contrast - Gu Ningqi.
Ji Min: "..."
Very good.
He understood.
The moment he understood, he almost fainted.
Good.
He hasn't even started to blame him, but this kid has revealed it himself.
And you said he was moved by this?
Sounds quite proud?
Ji Min's ears turned red. He
was so angry.
He clenched his back teeth tightly.
Before he could squeeze out the question from between his teeth.
He saw the boy in front of him again, with those well-behaved and dark eyes, and said to him seriously:
"But Mr. Ji, you have to remember your identity."
Ji Min was stunned by what he said.
The anger was almost gone.
At this moment, he was even a little confused, wondering if the two of them had the lines reversed.
The child looked very serious, even with a kind of concern:
"We are a formal employment relationship, you pay, I take the money to do the work. It is my job to clarify the rumors about you outside, so you don't need to like me."
Ji Min: "..."
Wait, work?
No wonder.
He said that this child didn't even recognize a box of condoms, why did he think of saying these things.
But who has such a job?
Ji Min just felt that a naughty child had tied a head of firecrackers in his hair.
Now light it, and it all exploded with a crackling sound.
It made him all over.
After a lot of effort, Ji Min finally managed to say: "Who told you that this is your job?"
"Didn't you ask me to observe it myself?"
Lu Ran took a sip of porridge and said with some pride, "You didn't explain it clearly, but fortunately I'm smart and I figured it out myself."
Ji Min: "..."
He recalled and suddenly closed his eyes.
Who the hell knows!
All these jokes recently were caused by him?
Ji Min couldn't help it.
He suppressed his throat and cursed: "Who asked you..." to do this?
He just uttered three words.
The boy at the table seemed to hear something wrong in his tone, and his eyes immediately glanced at him.
From his eyes, Ji Min almost read his next words.
If you don't let me do these, then what should I do?
Do nothing?
You can't really like me!
At this moment, Ji Min almost hated his predictive ability in the negotiation.
He almost bit his tongue.
It seems that he really hit a dead end. If
he denies Lu Ran's job content, he can't explain why he hired Lu Ran.
A hat of "liking" was put on him.
Acknowledge the content of these "jobs"...
I'm afraid this kid will be able to blow him up in the future.
But he really didn't have any serious work to give to Lu Ran, and he didn't plan to let Lu Ran work part-time while he was in college.
President Ji was in a dilemma for a while.
Seeing him like this.
Lu Ran blinked.
He swept the shrimp dumplings on the table without slowing down, and drank the porridge in the bowl.
Then he said: "Actually, you don't have to worry."
"..." Worry about what?
Ji Min looked at him almost exhausted.
The child was very professional and comforted him: "Although I don't like you, I will still work seriously."
He patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, where I am in the future, all the rumors about you will disappear!"
Ji Min pulled the corner of his mouth.
He said weakly, "Should I say thank you?"
He could already foresee what the rumors about him would be in Beijing in the next year.
Butler Chen was in the yard, and when the two came out,
he saw Lu Ran standing next to the wheelchair, in high spirits.
And Ji Min...
he controlled the wheelchair remotely, with a look of despair on his face.
Usually Ji Min was also gloomy and dead.
But not like now.
That expression made him look like a ghost from hell.
When Ji Min got in the car,
Butler Chen was a little confused, and asked Lu Ran quietly, "What's wrong? Wasn't he fine before breakfast?"
Lu Ran felt a little guilty.
He sighed and said, "You're heartbroken."
As soon as he finished speaking.
A gnashing voice came from the car: "Get in here."
Although it's the weekend today, Ji Min still has work to deal with.
Lu Ran did not go back to the Shen family, but followed Ji Min directly.
He felt that his "work" did not require him to follow Ji Min the whole time.
Otherwise it would seem very deliberate.
How could a boss go to discuss business and bring an ex-boyfriend with him to exaggerate himself?
But on second thought, Lu Ran remembered that he was pursuing Ji Min's "personality", and he felt it was normal again. If you
keep pestering, don't you have to follow him all the time?
But he will start school in a few days, and I don't know what Ji Min's plan is.
Wait until the car arrives at the place.
Lu Ran and Ji Min got out of the car, and the person in charge came to greet them.
After the banquet at the Shen family last night, Lu Ran was no longer the unknown "illegitimate child".
Nor was he the unknown boy following Ji Min.
After greeting Ji Min, the man shook hands with Lu Ran, called him Young Master Shen, and exchanged a few pleasantries.
Now the whole of Beijing knows that the young master of the Shen family who had been wandering outside has been found.
And Shen Xingran, who had previously occupied this title, was just an adopted son.
Rumor has it that this adopted son even took the name of the legitimate young master.
The name "Shen Xingran" was once given by Old Master Shen himself.
Even though Old Master Shen has passed away for so many years, people can't help but sigh when they mention it now.
But...
everyone has heard that at the banquet last night that introduced the real young master of the Shen family, the protagonist left early.
And he was taken away by Ji Min.
Now that the two of them appear together, doesn't it confirm the rumors from last night?
The person in charge looked at Ji Min, and then at Lu Ran.
There was a hint of hidden ambiguity in his eyes.
Seeing this, Ji Min frowned slightly.
He didn't like others looking at him and Lu Ran with such eyes.
A 19-year-old boy who just entered college and has a bright future.
There is no need for him to have such a scandal with a cripple like him.
Apart from this relationship, he has plenty of ways to protect Lu Ran.
Ji Min was thinking about how to remind him subtly.
He looked up at the boy beside him, and saw Lu Ran with his eyebrows lowered, with a thoughtful look, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ji Min's fingers holding the wheelchair remote control suddenly tightened.
He talked nonsense at the banquet last night.
But he is only a child of this age after all, and now he encounters other people's strange looks, and he still can't stand it.
Ji Min pursed his lips slightly, and his face sank.
The person in charge in front was still arranging related matters with other staff members and did not notice his expression.
Ji Min was silent, and his eyebrows were almost twisted into a knot.
But he had not walked far.
He suddenly felt his arm being poked.
And poked again.
Ji Min glanced over and saw the child who was standing behind him sneaking up to him and squatting down while no one was around. He
whispered mysteriously into his ear, "They all know that I stayed at your place last night."
The warm breath hit Ji Min's ear.
Ji Min tilted his head, heard his words clearly, pursed his lips again, and said: "Don't worry, I will..."
But the boy frowned and interrupted him: "Do you think I should show some performance?"
Ji Min: "?"
He was stunned for a moment: "What performance?"
"Walking posture." Lu Ran looked at him strangely, "If there is no change in one night, won't they think you are not capable?"
Ji Min: "..."
Realizing what the child was saying, he took a deep breath, held it in his chest, and refused to spit it out.
The remote control in his hand was almost crushed by him.
Lu Ran over there had already simulated the posture afterwards very professionally.
After all, he had no experience. When he
walked, it didn't look like he had been tossing around all night, but like his feet were numb from squatting in the toilet.
He was totally unaware, and even turned around to take credit, and asked in a low voice: "Do you think I'm walking like an ordinary person?"
Ji Min: "..."
He stretched out his hand and pressed his temples, and felt a headache.
Great.
He was worried about this and that, thinking about how to clarify.
In the end, there was someone holding him back. He
was really angry.
While Lu Ran was limping back, Ji Min did something that he would never do normally.
He raised his hand and was about to slap the boy's buttocks covered by his hoodie.
The moment his broad and powerful palm was about to touch it.
However, considering the occasion, he raised it slightly and slapped Lu Ran's waist.
Even so, Lu Ran was still startled and jumped forward.
He covered his waist, turned his head, and looked at Ji Min with his well-behaved black eyes widened.
The man curled his knuckles imperceptibly, with a cold face, and indifferently withdrew his hand:
"Go your way."
After that, he remotely controlled the wheelchair to move forward.
Lu Ran stared at him without moving, his eyes appearing wet under the refraction of the morning light.
Ji Min paused again, reflecting on his reckless behavior.
He moved his lips and was about to say something.
He saw the young man in front of him staring at him and sighing slowly.
Ji Min was startled when he heard the rhythm of his sigh.
Sure enough.
The next second, he heard Lu Ran say: "I know you like me, but you should hold back a little."
Ji Min: "..."
Why is his hand so mean.
Why did you have to provoke this guy when you could just go after anyone else?
Ji Min took a deep breath for a long time before gritting his teeth and entering the venue.
Today was a small meeting of the Beijing financial circle.
Everyone present was an acquaintance, some of whom had even appeared at last night's banquet.
Lu Ran never got involved in Ji Min's work, and when he saw him enter, he wandered around outside.
Ji Min glanced from a distance and saw that the child didn't follow.
He looked at the person in charge just now, and the rest of the members attending the meeting had already arrived.
He then said to the assistant beside him: "Go outside and watch, don't let him run around."
He didn't suppress his voice when he said this.
So everyone present looked over.
Some people also saw Lu Ran outside, and his eyes revealed the same ambiguous look as the person in charge just now.
It seems that Ji Min is quite concerned about this young master Shen.
It is impossible not to see him at a glance.
At this time, Ji Min tapped the armrest of the wheelchair with his fingers, and said casually:
"The child is young, and he came to play with me during the holidays recently."
Hearing his tone, everyone was stunned.
Ji Min looked at the corridor and sighed:
"It's also my habit. This kid is outspoken. He doesn't speak like a junior. If he accidentally bumps into you, please forgive me."
After hearing Ji Min's words, everyone was confused at first.
This Ji Min kept calling him a child and a junior.
It didn't sound like he was talking about a lover, but rather like he was treating a young man that he doted on.
The tone was casual, but also like a reprimand, but the protection in it was much more serious than treating a lover.
Someone looked at Ji Min in confusion.
As soon as he raised his head, he met the man's dark and deep gaze.
Everyone present was smart, and they reacted immediately, and their attitude immediately became serious.
The ambiguous teasing in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows immediately disappeared, replaced by seriousness.
Someone else smiled and said, "Of course, I'm the eldest, and President Ji's juniors are my juniors, so everyone has to take good care of them." Everyone
in the room immediately agreed.
Lu Ran followed Ji Min all day. He didn't go
back to the Shen family until the evening. As soon as
he entered the door, he saw Mrs. Shen sitting alone in the living room on the first floor.
Seeing him coming back, she smiled at him in an unusual way and asked, "You're back, have you had dinner?"
Lu Ran bent down to wipe Da Huang's feet. Hearing this, he didn't answer, but raised his head and asked directly, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Mrs. Shen choked.
She glanced at Lu Ran, and finally called upstairs, "Ran Ran, come down and talk to your brother."
Shen Xingran seemed to have been waiting there for a long time. When she heard the voice, she followed down.
Mrs. Shen looked at the clothes on Lu Ran.
Although they were just ordinary sweatshirts and jeans, the texture and design were obviously not comparable to those street stalls that Lu Ran had bought before.
Mrs. Shen retracted her gaze and said nonchalantly: "Did President Ji prepare these clothes for you?"
Lu Ran looked at her: "Otherwise, could it be that you bought them?"
Mrs. Shen: "..."
She changed the subject and quickly said: "Look, you have also tasted the benefits."
Mrs. Shen smiled at Lu Ran again: "You are home now, we are all family, our family values fairness the most, and connections are also resources."
Lu Ran raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
I want to hear what she is going to say next.
Sure enough, Mrs. Shen pulled Shen Xingran over and said:
"Look, you have also negotiated with the Gu family. When will you introduce your brother to the Ji family?"
