Chapter 68 Encouragement

Lu Ran hasn't come to "work" for a few days.

He only picks up Da Huang in the morning and evening every day, and rarely speaks to Ji Min.

The boy leaves and comes excitedly every day, and occasionally when he has some time, he talks about experiments.

At first glance, Ji Min doesn't seem to be abnormal.

He doesn't lose his temper, and everything seems to be normal.

Compared with when Lu Ran was here, he gets angry less often.

He seems to be calmer.

It seems too calm, which makes people feel that it is not so normal.

But sometimes, he will suddenly raise his head in the middle of his work and stare at the empty small table opposite him in a daze.

There were moments when Butler Chen thought he was about to ask, "How many classes does this kid have?"

or "Are college students so busy nowadays?"

But Butler Chen wasn't sure if it was his own illusion or if Ji Min really wanted to ask that, but held it back the moment he was about to open his mouth.

He seemed to be suddenly keen on being with Da Huang.

In the past, Ji Min didn't like to leave the office or go out of the office building.

Because of his physical condition, every time he went out, there would always be someone following him.

But now, he would set the alarm and take time to take Da Huang out for a walk.

Holding the little rabbit leash in his hand, sitting in the wheelchair, strolling quietly in the sun for a while.

Ji Min usually doesn't say much.

Da Huang is a dog that is almost ten years old. Except in front of Lu Ran, it rarely becomes lively.

So when the man and the dog strolled on the road together, the atmosphere was simply too silent.

Butler Chen followed them several times, and once he couldn't help but said, "Do you know what you look like now?"

Ji Min raised his head and looked at him silently. He

didn't look like he was so angry with Lu Ran that he wanted to die.

Butler Chen sighed and said, "He looks like an empty-nest elderly person who stays at home lonely while his children go to school and work.

" Ji Min: "..."

In the evening, Lu Ran came to pick up Da Huang.

The young man pushed open the door of the office and walked in familiarly. As soon as he entered, he couldn't help complaining: "There is a teacher who is particularly weird. He actually called the roll in reverse..."

Ji Min raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "So you were caught skipping classes?"

Lu Ran: "..."

Suddenly he felt guilty as if he was caught by his parents.

It was rare for him to feel this way in his life.

"I didn't skip classes." Lu Ran explained while rubbing Da Huang's head, "I just ran a little late from the laboratory building. Fortunately, I didn't lose any credits!"

He was very talkative and obviously wanted to say something else.

But after looking at the time, he still said: "I have to go back. I have classes tomorrow morning and I have to get up early."

He stood up and clapped his hands at Da Huang: "Da Huang, let's go!"

The man and the dog left the office again.

Ji Min did not try to keep them.

The office, which had been bustling for a while, suddenly returned to silence.

In fact, because of the bustle just now, the ordinary silence was a bit annoying.

Ji Min looked at the sky outside, called the driver, and asked him to take Lu Ran.

Anyway, now the whole city knows that he and this kid have "some kind of relationship", so there is no need to avoid suspicion.

In the office that night, Ji Min didn't say anything.

Butler Chen almost thought that Ji Min would keep enduring, or, in other words, there was no so-called "endurance".

But on the way back, the man who had been quiet in the back seat of the car suddenly said:

"Are there some problems with the Shen family?"

"Huh?" Butler Chen listened attentively.

Ji Min frowned seriously and said, "Let's not talk about parents, but it's not good for that adopted son... to live with this kind of person."

Butler Chen didn't understand why Ji Min brought this up.

Ji Min was really a little worried.

After all, Shen Xingran was a "special group".

It is estimated that she will bring some messy people back home.

Even if there are no outsiders, Lu Ran will inevitably eat and drink together when he lives in the Shen family.

Even if they don't eat and drink together, they have to breathe the same air.

No wonder the kid didn't even know a condom when he saw Lu Ran for the second time.

Now he eats king abalone mushrooms and enoki mushrooms one by one.

This is all the adverse effects of the environment.

Analyzed it carefully.

President Ji said very fairly, with full of care as an elder, as if he had no selfish motives: "For his growth, should I take him in to live with me?"

Butler Chen: "..."

Good man, you are talking so much for this reason?

Isn't it just that the little classmate didn't chat with you in the evening?

I thought you could really hold it in, but I didn't expect you to make a big deal and directly kidnap the person home?

Butler Chen turned around and observed Ji Min carefully.

Ji Min's expression was calm and upright.

There was no guilt on his face.

It was as if this man had completed a logical reconciliation in his heart. He

seriously thought that he was just concerned about Lu Ran's growth and development environment.

Butler Chen was silent.

He suddenly doubted the family education of the Ji family.

How did he achieve such a miraculous effect?

​​"As long as you are happy..." Butler Chen sighed.

On Friday, Butler Chen found that Ji Min's suppressed desire was even greater than he thought.

In the past, Ji Min never spent the weekend.

His schedule was full, and he would often rush from one place to the next without stopping.

This time, when his assistant confirmed his schedule with him, he glanced at it and said nothing.

When the assistant was about to leave, he called the assistant, took back the schedule, and casually crossed out a few items.

Only one schedule at the golf course was left.

On the weekend.

Lu Ran came to Ji Min's place very early.

After a week of school, he finally returned to "work".

Lu Ran returned to the state of a social animal in a second, and was very energetic.

Even rubbing his hands in anticipation: "I went to bed very early last night, and I am very energetic today. Tell me, where are we going today?"

Ji Min looked at him silently and said, "Let's play ball."

Hearing that they were going to the golf course, Lu Ran sighed in disappointment.

Ji Min's eyebrows immediately raised high.

He asked coldly: "Don't you like it?"

"It's not that I don't like it." Lu Ran analyzed carefully, "It's just that there are fewer people at the golf course, so the efficiency is low."

Ji Min was confused and asked: "What efficiency?"

"The efficiency of work! Since my job is to help you clarify rumors, it must be the most efficient in occasions like banquets." Lu Ran argued.

He was obsessed with work and analyzed it seriously. Any boss would be pleased to tears.

But when I think about what the "work" in the boy's mouth is about.

Ji Min couldn't laugh anymore.

He was silent for a moment, but he couldn't help it in the end. He coughed lightly and reminded gently: "Actually... you don't have to work so hard."

But as soon as he said this, the excitement in the eyes of the excited child who looked at him gradually faded.

Lu Ran said seriously and a little embarrassedly: "But I haven't worked properly for a week. Isn't it a loss for you to pay me so much?"

Ji Min turned his head to look at him.

He could see that the boy was really in a dilemma.

The kind of dilemma that he couldn't accept other people's kindness with a clear conscience.

Lu Ran thought for a while: "Otherwise..."

Ji Min instantly guessed what he would say next.

Otherwise, forget it, I can help you for free.

But Ji Min was not ready to let their employment relationship end.

Almost at the moment he guessed it, he interrupted the boy.

He said without thinking: "The quality of the work is more important, and the quantity doesn't matter much."

After saying this, Ji Min almost bit his tongue.

What is he doing?

Encouraging this kid's "work"?

Lu Ran thought it made sense and nodded seriously: "You are right."

Ji Min: "..."

He turned his eyes away from the child beside him and looked out the window in silence.

Reflecting on what nonsense he had said.

Although Lu Ran was a little disappointed when he first heard that they were going to the golf course today.

But when he really got there and saw the wide green lawn, his eyes still lit up.

Ji Min hid the smile in his eyes.

The boss who negotiated with Ji Min today had heard about Ji Min's protection of the young master of the Shen family.

When he saw Lu Ran, he greeted him very friendly.

There was no extra intimacy in his eyes.

It was as if he really met a familiar younger generation.

Ji Min was quite satisfied.

He let the child go with Da Huang to play, and asked Butler Chen to watch him.

The boss sitting opposite Ji Min observed Ji Min imperceptibly.

It was said that Ji Min doted on the young master of the Shen family who had been missing for more than ten years.

But it was not visible at first glance now.

The young man was studying the golf club beside him, but Ji Min was still the impeccable Ji Min in the business world.

Not a single cent of his attention was diverted. He

was still able to accurately grasp the loopholes in his words and refused to give in on the project they wanted to discuss.

The boss sighed inwardly. He

only lamented that rumors hurt people, and how could a person like Ji Min care about others.

He picked up the water glass and was thinking about how to find a breakthrough next.

But he heard the man opposite him suddenly said: "The posture is wrong."

The boss was stunned: "Huh?"

He looked down at the posture of his holding the water glass, thinking that Ji Min was particular about it.

He was about to ask Ji Min why he brought up this out of the blue.

The boy who was standing not far behind Ji Min and was playing ball turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

"With your waist and hands so broken, it's strange that you don't miss." Ji Min said, "Look at how many times you've hit the ball in this short while."

The boss who was listening on the side: "..."

Lu Ran listened and adjusted his posture again.

After this adjustment, he became even stiffer, and he couldn't even touch the edge of the ball with a swing.

The man who was talking about business without any mistakes before sighed.

He turned the wheelchair and reached out to adjust the boy's posture.

When his fingertips were about to touch the boy's waist and arms, he gently retracted them.

As if avoiding suspicion, he picked up a magazine on the table, rolled it up, and used the magazine as a pointer.

"Here, and here. Don't be so stiff."

The paper tube gently touched Lu Ran's waist and arms through his clothes.

It brought a kind of itchiness that was hidden but only revealed.

"And here."

The paper tube slid to his leg and knocked on it again. "Muscles are tense."

Lu Ran couldn't help but dodged.

He turned his head to look at the rolled-up magazine in Ji Min's hand.

They are all grown men, instructing how to play golf in public, and just get started. He

even took a magazine specially.

It seems something is weird.

However, under Ji Min's guidance, Lu Ran finally succeeded in hitting a ball.

He didn't let the caddy pick it up, and he took Huang excitedly to find the ball.

Ji Min watched for a while, and when the man walked away, he silently retracted his gaze.

He turned his head and saw the boss opposite staring at him with a look that was hard to describe.

"What's wrong?" Ji Min put down the magazine in his hand and asked.

Boss: "...Nothing."

I just feel a pain in my face.

I still think I am very bright and redundant in broad daylight.

And you guys are really good at playing.

Lu Ran walked around and finally found his ball and asked about the score.

When he was about to go back, a car stopped beside him.

An uninvited guest got off.

Lu Ran looked up and saw that it was Jin Lino who he hadn't seen for a long time.

After being rejected by Ji Min last time, Lino's family came to look for him several times.

But there was no result.

Looking at Jin's condition today, he is arrogant again.

I don't know what opportunity Lino's family got.

Jin looks like a playboy as always.

He looked Lu Ran up and down, and said in his not-so-standard Mandarin:

"Honey, long time no see. Ever since I drank the glass of wine you poured last time, I have been thinking about the taste."
