Chapter 20

twenty chapters

After lunch, continue working.

After reading all the information, Lu Ran simply asked the responsible persons of several departments, and after clarifying the progress and problems, reorganized the work. During this period, Han Moyan gave Lu Ran a few internal calls, and the accumulated work was doubled. , Lu Ran couldn't help wondering whether Han Moyan expected her to come back, so he piled up all the work on purpose.

After hastily finishing dinner in the staff cafeteria, Lu Ran managed to get out of it until the sky outside the window had darkened.

The building was almost empty, and the night view of the city could be seen through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows next to the office. The neon lights intersected, high-rise buildings rose from the ground, and the five-color glow was dazzling.

Withdrawing her gaze, she went to the boiling water room and made a cup of coffee by herself. The dense aroma permeated in front of her. Lu Ran leaned against the porch and took a breath. The smell of coffee reminded her of the faint aroma of coffee when she was at Han Moyan's house He and Han Moyan were making coffee.

So liking is a blind thing, Han Moyan, who stays in memory, seems to be moved by every silhouette of Han Moyan.

Unconsciously cast his gaze away, the lights in Han Moyan's office were still on.

That was the scene she had seen the most over the years. She didn't even remember how many overtime shifts she had with Han Moyan.

She used to think that it would be a romantic thing for her and Han Moyan's lamps to be left in the silent office on the entire floor amidst the neon lights of the city, but it's a pity that no matter how romantic the scene meets Han Moyan, she will automatically be cut off from the ambiguity.

The endless work is so busy that everything is gone.

It has been like this for three years.

Lu Ran picked up the coffee cup and knocked on Han Moyan's door.

"Come in."

Seeing Han Moyan's desk piled up with more documents than hers, Lu Ran immediately felt relieved.

Han Moyan is probably the busiest boss she has ever seen. The bosses of other companies spend two or three days socializing, traveling everywhere, meeting, traveling and playing golf. All the work under him is left to the manager or assistant to complete, and he only does simple things. Han Moyan even participated in the planning of the decision-making. In many cases, Han Moyan knew more about the company's project than the person in charge.

This is actually not a good thing. A good superior should employ people on their merits, and there is no need to do everything by themselves.

Lu Ran thought for a long time and only came to one conclusion... Han Moyan is a natural workaholic.

Knocking on the door again with her knuckles, Lu Ran asked, "Do you want coffee?"

Han Moyan raised his eyes halfway: "A cup." Then he continued to work at his desk.

As usual, he took the black coffee cup on Han Moyan's table, poured boiling water, and the coffee mixed with his partner quickly melted in the cup. With a faint coffee aroma, he put two sugar cubes, Lu Ran, and brought it into Han Moyan's office.

At that time, Han Moyan was still working with his laptop on.

"How long?"

Han Moyan didn't want to answer: "10 minutes."

"I'm waiting for you."

Holding his coffee cup and sipping it lightly, Lu Ran wandered to the bookshelf in Han Moyan's office.

"Can I see it?"

"can."

Han Moyan's bookshelves are very neat and organized. The bookshelves on the four walls of the study are divided into categories and marked with various books.

Almost all of them are economic and English books, and there are many original texts containing a large number of proper nouns.

Lu Ran was not surprised to know that Han Moyan studied abroad for the last few years of his university and his MBA.

Missing it row by row, Lu Ran suddenly saw a slightly small book in the middle of a pile of economics, finance, and English, "In Search of Lost Time", reminiscing about the past.

Stream of consciousness literature and art books... Would Han Moyan read this kind of thing?

Lu Ran was dumbfounded.

Pulled it out from the bookshelf, opened it casually, only to see a line of beautiful running script on the snow-white title page:

"To my lovely schoolboy Han Moyan.

happy Birthday.

Your senior sister, Zhuang Jing. "

She turned her head slightly, and Han Moyan clicked on the keyboard quickly while drinking coffee with downcast eyes, without noticing it.

Lu Ran hurriedly stuffed the book back.

But in my heart I said silently again: Zhuang Jing.

This was the first time Lu Ran heard this name. At that time, she didn't know how much the owner of this name would make her hate in the future.

Putting the book back, as if to cover up, Lu Ran casually looked at Han Moyan's work plan and asked, "Going to a business trip for a meeting next week?"

Han Moyan didn't raise his head: "Yes, there are a lot of materials to be prepared for the half-month investment promotion conference."

After all, a name doesn't mean much, Lu Ran quickly put it to the back of his mind, thinking of another question: "This seems to be a coastal tourist city?"

Hearing Lu Ran's subtext, Han Moyan quickly replied: "There are about ten days of meetings, and the rest of the time is free for activities, and the organizer will also organize sightseeing trips."

Lu Ran couldn't help stretching her eyebrows and smiling, and the corners of her lips raised unconsciously: "President Han, can you go out with me then?"

Han Moyan paused and said, "Yes."

*******************************************************************************
There were joys and sorrows, almost on the second day after returning to Han Moyan's company to work, Lu Qi, who lived far away from Lu's residence, went out of his way to find him, and immediately asked, "Why did you go back to work for him again!"

Lu Ran spread her hands and smiled innocently: "It's not me who wants to go back this time, it's my parents who pulled the line."

Lu Qi's anger suddenly went down a little, but it quickly rose.

"Can't you refuse? What kind of person Han Moyan is, haven't you seen it in three years? To him, you are not even comparable to one of his work projects. If you marry him, he can't give you one." A warm family can't give you the care, consideration and tenderness you want, so it's impossible for him to fall in love with you, don't you understand?"

The smile on Lu Ran's face gradually faded.

What Lu Qi said was the truth, it was because it was the truth that it hurt people so much.

Seeing Lu Ran's expression, Lu Qi regretted whether his words were a bit harsh, but the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain, and it is better to let her wake up earlier than to let Lu Ran dream with fantasies.

"I know, brother, I know what you said."

"then you……"

Raising his head, Lu Ran stared at Lu Qi's eyes, there was no smile in his eyes, only stubborn seriousness remained: "Brother, I have only liked this one person in so many years, it's okay to give up, but if you don't try it thoroughly , I will never give up completely... You know, he didn't know that I liked him before, but now it's different, he knows and is willing to try, if it doesn't work, it's not too late for me to admit defeat... "

Slowly raise your hand and press Lu Ran's shoulder.

Lu Qi sighed: "It's okay to try, but Xiaoran, aren't you afraid that you will completely lose yourself in the end?"

The previous you were just a pure crush, no matter how deep you fell in love, it was only a person's entanglement, and the most serious injury was only the other party's non-response.

However, if it were two people, the contribution would no longer be directly proportional and incalculable, and the possible harm...

Lu Ran covered Lu Qi's with his own hand, and slowly took away Lu Qi's hand, and also slowly took away his brother's worry.

"Brother, it's useless... Everything is my own decision, no matter what the result is, I will bear the consequences... What about the game, I'm ready to lose if you dare to bet..."

Lu Ran, who is already in her twenties, looks at Lu Qi, but the persistence in her eyes still looks like when she was a teenager.

Lu Qi remembered.

At that time, she stood in front of Lu Qi and told her brother that from today onwards, she decided to become a good student again. Contact, she wants to become an elite, a real elite.

It was a ridiculous oath, but Lu Qi didn't laugh out loud.

He knows his sister's temper better than anyone else, and he does what he says.His pampered younger sister was reluctant to be beaten and scolded, and even Lu Qi, who caused trouble frequently, just silently took care of her funeral affairs, but such a hawk-like younger sister who was ignorant, free and proud, would do this for just one person. change.

Unexpected.

What's even more unexpected is that this person's influence on Lu Ran has spanned so many years, and he still hasn't retreated in the slightest.

From a certain point of view, he is actually jealous of Han Moyan, but from another point of view, he also hopes that his sister can be happy, but unfortunately, no matter from which point of view, Han Moyan does not seem to be able to give her happiness people.

Lu Qi sighed silently.

Seeing this, Lu Ran smiled: "Brother, okay, don't worry. Worrying about me so much, it's better to worry about yourself. The boss is not young and doesn't have a girlfriend. There are many women who like you. For example, the one who had a blind date at the revolving restaurant last time..."

Lu Qi's expression changed: "Don't mention her."

Holding back his smile, Lu Ran seemed puzzled: "Why? Doesn't that Miss Zhang like you very much..."

Not only do I like it quite a lot, it should be said that I like it quite a lot. When I saw the handsome and tall Lu Qi, Ms. Zhang, who looked like a certain Internet celebrity facing the dragon, suddenly lit up. She pushed Lu Ran aside without thinking, and walked away Made it to Lu Qi's side.

During the period, he was even more courteous, such as picking up food for Lu Qi with chopsticks that were still stained with his uneaten food, rubbing against Lu Qi's side vigorously, pretending to use the wrong wet wipes from Lu Qi, drinking the wrong cup from Lu Qi, etc... …

Lu Qi couldn't bear it, and he couldn't get angry, so he had to pretend to go to the toilet and drag Lu Ran to slip away first.

Realizing that Lu Ran was deliberately teasing him, Lu Qi coughed twice and chose to change the subject.

"By the way, don't talk about this, did that Du Han harass you last time?"

Lu Ran shook her head honestly: "No, I haven't contacted you since we had dinner and discussed cooperation that day." After thinking about it, Lu Ran asked, "Brother, you were downstairs with me that day. You didn't do anything to Miss Du, did you?"

"What can I do to her, it's just a quarrel and everyone going home."

"That's it..." Lu Ran's tone was a little disappointed.

"Otherwise what do you think?"

"Me? Nothing..."

Of course, at that time, no one expected what kind of story would happen between Lu Qi and Du Han.

*******************************************************************************
The investment promotion conference started as scheduled, and Lu Ran asked his assistant to book a ticket.

This work should have been done by Xue Lijia, but maybe Han Moyan's attitude was too firm, or she really couldn't save face, Xue Lijia never came to report after that, so Lu Ran transferred Gu An to replace her. Location.

The day before departure, Han Moyan finally sorted out the huge amount of information, and Han Moyan gave Lu Ran half a day off to prepare, but he was still busy.

Lu Ran didn't force it, and went back to pack his bags.

The temperature in the city where the meeting was held was not low, and most of her summer clothes were from previous years. After looking through them, she came to the conclusion that she still had to go shopping.

After choosing clothes in several specialty stores very efficiently, Lu Ran received a call from Xiang Yan, saying that the matter had been taken care of.

After being stunned for a while, Lu Ran remembered that what he was talking about should be the gangsters that day.

If Xiang Yan didn't mention it, Lu Ran almost forgot, and thanked him on the phone. Xiang Yan said that he wanted to invite Lu Ran out for a meal.
