Marriage as a Game

Chapter 96: After changing my name, you don’t know who I am?
From the side profile, the other person was a tall and thin lady, with short hair that covered most of her face, revealing only a pointed chin and a faintly visible corner of her thin lips.

She was wearing a loose white T-shirt, a pair of cropped jeans, and a pair of white sneakers. The skin on her exposed ankles was so white and thin that it could be held in one hand.

The manager of the tea restaurant knew Shang Jianghan, and his restaurant's turnover was entirely supported by the Lianzhong employees across the street.

"Mr. Shang, the private room upstairs has been cleaned up. Please come this way!" The manager said respectfully.

This God of Wealth must not be offended.

"No need, I have an appointment!" Shang Jianghan nodded his chin, pointed towards the window, and then walked over.

The restaurant manager is so smart, the lady who just came is really stunning!
Yao Ran was halfway through revising the manuscript when she felt a shadow looming over her. She woke up with a start and remembered her purpose.

When she looked up, she habitually put up her black glasses frame with her right hand.

"Not good intentions……"

I thought that this time when I come back, I will inevitably meet many acquaintances.

These days, Yao Ran was still thinking about how to meet them and what to say, especially to him!

But she never expected that the two would meet at this time, and she was caught off guard!

It was two o'clock in the afternoon, the hottest time of the day, with the outdoor temperature reaching thirty-five degrees. The tea restaurant was using central air conditioning, so the temperature was a bit low.

The man looked down at her, his eyes focused on her, with an unfamiliar indifference and nonchalance, as if he was looking at a stranger.

Yao Ran was stunned for a moment and was about to stand up, but the other party had already sat down opposite her.

When their eyes meet, time can make all familiarity fade away and make two people become strangers.

Yao Ran put down his right hand and clasped his left hand under the table.

The heat from her fingertips faded in an instant and quickly cooled down.

"business……"

"Yao Ran, right?"

The unfamiliar name interrupted Yao Ran's words "Teacher".

She pursed her lips and nodded.

"Mr. Shang!"

The waiter brought some refreshments and left quickly.

Shang Jianghan reached out and grasped the white porcelain glaze teacup, and tapped the lid with his slender fingers.

His dark eyes sank slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up, but the smile did not reach his eyes, but brought a sense of coldness.

"If I change my name, you don't know who I am?"

Yao Ran lowered her eyes, her thick eyelashes covering her hot eyes, not knowing what to say.

Silence spread in the air.

The strange feeling brought by the question "Yao Ran, right?" made her not know how to address the other person.

After about a few minutes, the person in front of him picked up the tea bowl and put it down again. The sound of the porcelain hitting the glass table made Yao Ran's heart tremble.

"Where's my suitcase?"

suitcase?
This sentence reminded Yao Ran, and she looked over.

Yes, the other person’s suitcase was full of men’s clothes, but she didn’t pay much attention to it at the time.

"Who is Zhao Panpan?"

"It doesn't matter who it is, just where the suitcase is, I'll take it!"

The man spoke in a businesslike tone, as if he was conducting a business negotiation.

Yao Ran closed the laptop in front of him and bit the corner of his lip.

"Well, I accidentally knocked over your suitcase and your clothes got dirty. I'll send it to the dry cleaners and they'll send it back in two days."

After saying this, the man opposite stood up and stroked his sleeves.

"Then contact me again." His voice was distant and without any emotion, and he had already walked out.

Shang Jianghan walked out of the tea restaurant on the first floor, lit a cigarette for himself, took two deep puffs, put one hand in his trouser pocket, and looked at the black Mercedes-Benz sedan not far away.

He was familiar with the license plate number, a number that Zhong Hongguang usually used. The person he had been looking for for two years was hiding from him under a pseudonym?
How funny!

When we meet, we either address each other as strangers or use "that" instead.

Shang Jianghan couldn't hide the coldness in his eyes.

Afterwards, Yao Ran hurried out from the tea restaurant.

"Where's my suitcase?" she asked.

Shang Jianghan glanced at her from the side. Apart from a pair of weird glasses, her appearance had hardly changed.

He didn't say anything, just looked at her, and spoke coldly after a moment.

"If you want the suitcase, exchange it with mine!" Shang Jianghan was a little surprised at his unkind words.

Yao Ran was stunned for a moment, thinking about the things in the suitcase.

"No! Can you please give it to me first? I have an important...manuscript inside! I need to submit it, otherwise it will be a breach of contract and I will have to pay liquidated damages!" The girl argued.

At this moment in the sunlight, her upturned eyebrows are bright, like a newborn pink and white rose, not gorgeous but elegant enough.

Shang Jianghan exhaled a puff of gray-white smoke, held the cigarette in the corner of his mouth, and looked at her quietly.

"I knew the luggage was swapped. If you knew it wasn't yours, why did you open it?"

Yao Ran was speechless at this.

Her mistake was that she didn't take it seriously enough, but she couldn't use the mischief of a four-year-old as an excuse.

When we met for the first time after five years, there was a misunderstanding and we parted on bad terms.

In the afternoon, when Yao Ran went to Yiwen to discuss the copyright fee issue, he was obviously absent-minded.

Yuan Hua saw through it but didn't say anything. He said in his usual self-satisfied manner: "Recently, we are discussing a film and television investment. If it is successful, our drama will be upgraded directly, and many subsequent things will be able to proceed more smoothly. It is estimated that this drama will be released by the end of next year!"

There were several other participants present who were amazed by what they heard.

"That's great!"

Yuan Hua glanced at Yao Ran, and then said, "So, we, the directors of Yiwen, held a meeting to study it and decided to keep the copyright fee based on the original amount and give a commission of five profit points in the future!"

Some people at the scene gasped and looked at Yao Ran with envy.

"Yao Ran, do you have any objections?"

Yao Ran thought about it and realized that there was no such thing as a free lunch. She smiled and asked, "Do you need me to cooperate with you in any way?"

Yuan Hua likes to deal with smart people, especially beautiful, smart and straightforward women.

"Haha, of course, some small cooperation is required, such as publicity, or attending necessary occasions. Of course, it is completely voluntary!"

After coming out of the Arts and Culture Group, it was still early, so Yao Ran went to the mall.

When she came back this time, her clothes were in the large suitcase, and the small suitcase was filled with books and manuscripts.

Now, Shang Jianghan refused to return her suitcase, so she had to go buy some clothes.

In July, the mall was having a summer promotion with big discounts on clothes. She picked out a few pieces and paid by scanning the QR code with her mobile phone.

After coming out of the mall carrying the packaging bags, Yao Ran went to the parking lot to pick up his car. Just as he was about to drive out, he accidentally scratched a BMW that was coming in.

Both parties were responsible, and the matter could have been resolved by insurance, but the woman in the other car acted arrogant and swore.

Yao Ran was so angry that he slapped the other person, and the matter was reported to the police station.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Jong Suk-hee hurried over and after some negotiations, he took Yao Ran away.

After the car drove for a distance, Jong Suk-hee looked at her several times through the rearview mirror.

Yao Ran was amused and asked, "Don't you recognize me?"

When the police asked him to call a bailiff, Yao Ran hesitated and called Zhong Hongguang.

Zhong Hongguang was busy with an investment recently and was unable to get away from a drinking party, so he called Zhong Shuoxi directly to ask him to come.

"Who?" Jong Suk Hee was stunned for a moment after answering the phone.
