My Perfect Enemy is Finally Broke Novel - Chap 84
Chapter 84
Ji Ran ignored their disappointed looks, held the steering wheel firmly in his hand, hooked the fingertips of his left hand, and closed the window.
”A boyfriend is just a boyfriend, no matter what you say about a girlfriend.”
Qin Man sat back down and heard this sentence coming softly from his side.
He raised his eyebrows and said after a long while: “Pull down the window.”
Ji Ran was confused: “What for?”
”I didn’t perform well just now.” Qin Man said, “Give me another chance.”
Ji Ran: “Shut up and sit tight.”
There were many sports cars parked outside the city’s racing circuit. Ji Ran held the steering wheel with one hand and glanced randomly, trying to find a parking space closer to the door.
He saw a flashy bus, especially among the many high-end cars.
When I looked closer, I saw a support poster taped to the bus.
He Suiran’s big head is printed on it, and there is also a line of words of support in capital letters and bold below.
[Girl killer He Suiran, you are the king of the city’s racing circuit. 】
In Ji Ran’s eyes, this slogan is no less ridiculous than “I am DJ Pleasant Goat, and I am the craziest in Qingqing Prairie.”
If you are a good racing driver, you won’t win much championship, so you just do this shit.
It also takes up parking space.
Ji Ran parked the car and after getting out of the car, he discovered that He Suiran’s impact on this arena did not end there.
Outside the arena, there were even many entertainment media cars, and he saw several people carrying cameras.
Although there are regular racing competitions in China, there are not many enthusiasts due to the high cost of racing. In the past two years, the finals of a relatively well-known event in the industry were held in China. The auditorium was full, but the media attention was not high, and there were not even a few press releases. The number of viewers of the online live broadcast was only over 4,000.
Ji Ran hesitated for a moment, then turned back to the car and pulled out two masks.
I don’t know if any media recognizes him, but it’s better to do less than to do more. He came to see the racing today and didn’t want to get into any trouble.
The two walked into the venue wearing masks and found the seats on their tickets.
In the first row of the auditorium, there is a large broadcast screen in front of them. The most interesting corner of the entire track is also in front of them. It can be said that it is the best seat in the entire auditorium.
As soon as Ji Ran sat down, his cell phone rang.
[Ji Wei: Father is awake, don’t worry about him. 】
Who is so concerned.
Ever since he met Ji Wei in the hospital that day, the other party would send him a message every day, all about Ji Guozheng’s physical condition. Ji Ran didn’t reply, but Ji Wei still insisted on posting.
Ji Ran put the phone away and looked up at the screen.
What a coincidence, He Suiran’s preparations were being broadcast on the screen.
In the camera, He Suiran was drinking water. When he felt the camera, he smiled subconsciously, looking gentle and handsome.
Ji Ran heard several girls’ screams coming from behind him.
…The seats are good, but unfortunately behind them are He Suiran’s fans. Several of them are holding banners in their hands. It’s not clear whether they are coming to watch the game or to attend the concert.
However, it is their right to yell at seats that others bought with real money.
Just as he was thinking about it, his face was pinched by the person next to him.
Qin Man asked: “Do you want to eat candy?”
Ji Ran frowned: “Where did you get the candy?”
”I bought it in the supermarket yesterday.” Qin Man took out a candy from his pocket and put it in his hand. “If you want to smoke in the future, but I’m not around, you can eat a candy to satisfy your craving.”
”……”WTF?
He really treated him like a child.
Ji Ran complained in his mind, then took the candy, peeled off the candy wrapper, pulled off the mask, opened his mouth, and dropped the pink ball into his mouth.
Looking up again, the camera has switched to a certain foreign racing driver.
The scale of today’s game is not small, and many big-name clubs have also arranged for players to come. Ji Ran estimated that He Suiran was probably competing for three guarantees and five guarantees.
But looking at the enthusiasm of He Suiran’s fans in the audience…it made him look like a quasi-champion.
He Suiran should become a star. It would be great to make money without having to train. Ji Ran thought sincerely.
Soon, the radio rang.
Ji Ran originally thought that the game was about to start, after all, he came at the right time. Unexpectedly, after listening carefully, it turned out that there was a problem with some equipment at the venue and it would take nearly thirty minutes to deal with it. Let everyone wait a moment.
It’s said to be thirty minutes, but it will take at least an hour until the game officially starts.
It was noon now, and Ji Ran had no intention of waiting under the sun. He asked the people around him: “Let’s go sit in the cafe next door?”
”good.”
As soon as Ji Ran stepped down from the audience stage, he found that there were many people standing at the entrance of the working passage – basically all the media’s cameras were gathered here.
He had a grudge against the camera during this period, and subconsciously wanted to hide. Who would have thought that the person in the center of the crowd was faster than him.
”Ji——” As soon as He Suiran uttered a word, he realized that the situation was wrong and quickly fell silent.
He struggled to open a path for himself with his hands, and while apologizing to the media, he chased Ji Ran.
Why is this person still lingering?
Damn it, if there weren’t so many people here, he would have left long ago. Ji Ran thought irritably.
Seeing that Ji Ran hadn’t stopped, He Suiran subconsciously reached out to grab him, but someone walked in between them. He Suiran couldn’t take his hand back, and his fingertips hit Qin Man’s lower abdomen.
Qin Man smiled and patted his hand away without leaving a trace: “Is something wrong?”
The media swarmed over.
Ji Ran frowned and pulled the mask up a little further.
He Suiran had a meal. He knew that Ji Ran was not suitable to be in the media, but he didn’t want Ji Ran to leave at all now.
They hadn’t seen each other since the last time at the hot spring hotel, and Ji Ran rarely even responded to his messages.
”Long time no see.” He thought for a while and said, “Where are you going?”
Ji Ran said: “Coffee shop.”
”If you want to drink coffee, why don’t you go to the lounge? I’ll take you in. I brought coffee powder from abroad.”
”Not going.”
”Come on, I just have something I want to talk to you about,”
The eyes of all the media and fans fell on Ji Ran.
Everyone is curious about who this person is and how He Suiran can be invited into the lounge!
You must know that the racing driver’s lounge will not let idlers wait in. What’s more important is that this person actually refused.
The group of female fans next to him almost targeted Ji Ran.
It would be okay if there wasn’t that crappy variety show. Now that variety show has over 100 million views, I don’t know how many people have seen the scene where the three of them are in the same frame. Several girls looked at it and finally realized something was wrong.
Just before they were about to solve the case, Ji Ran turned around helplessly: “Lead the way.”
He Suiran sent the two of them to the work passage first.
Then he turned around and said with a smile: “Sorry everyone, I have to prepare now. The interview will wait until after the game.”
He had not planned to come out originally because the race was suddenly delayed and the audience was filled with complaints. The organizers had no choice but to let him, the most popular racing driver in the country, come out to comfort him.
The media is still pressing.
”There are rumors that you will leave your old club after this game. Is this true?”
”Do you have the confidence to hit the top three today?”
”Who was that person just now? Is it a staff member?”
He Suiran didn’t plan to answer at first, but when he heard the last question, he suddenly stopped.
”He is not a staff member.” He Suiran said solemnly, “He is my former teammate.”
This sentence caused quite a stir, and He Suiran was very satisfied with the media’s reaction.
After saying goodbye to everyone, he turned around and went back to the door, wanting to see Ji Ran’s reaction. Unexpectedly, the door was empty and no one was there.
He Suiran: “…”
The two of them had gone to the lounge early.
Seeing He Suiran come in, Ji Ran raised his eyes: “Have those people left?”
”No, I’m here, there must be someone outside all the time.”
Qin Man asked: “Where is the back door?”
He Suiran’s expression changed and he said nothing.
”In order to facilitate the entry and exit of the staff, there must be a back door.” Qin Man nodded, his face as usual, “I don’t bother you to send it, you can show the way, and we will leave by ourselves.”
”I still have something to say to Ji Ran.” He Suiran smiled, “If you are in a hurry, you can leave first.”
Qin Man sneered, but before he could speak, Ji Ran frowned and interrupted them: “He’s with me… tell me what’s going on.”
He Suiran sensitively noticed something was wrong.
He endured the questions, turned around, said a few words to the foreign coach, and then closed the door.
There were only three of them left in the lounge.
”I heard during this time that you are recruiting racing drivers?”
Ji Ran stopped playing with his phone: “Who is so rude?”
”It doesn’t matter who it is, it’s not something to hide.” He Suiran’s eyes brightened slightly, and he asked expectantly, “Are you recruiting teammates? Are you coming back to drive a racing car? You…”
”I have no intention of competing.” Ji Ran interrupted all his fantasies with one sentence.
He Suiran was startled, his expression a bit shocked: “Then why did you go to them?”
He has been troubled these days.
Isn’t he strong enough? Domestically, he is already considered a top driver. Why didn’t Ji Ran come to him instead of looking for those riders who were unknown and had never even competed in a race?
The news would definitely be leaked during the formalities, and Ji Ran didn’t bother to hide it: “I plan to open a club.”
He Suiran didn’t expect this answer. He opened his eyes wide and didn’t answer for a long time.
”Opening a club…” He Suiran repeated it and murmured, “Why did you think of this… When do you plan to open it? Are there still people missing?”
Ji Ran said: “Que. Do you have anyone you would like to recommend?”
”No.” He Suiran said without hesitation, “I want to go.”
Ji Ran was stunned.
”I want to go, is it okay?” He Suiran said, “The signing fee doesn’t matter, I can run if I have a car…”
”Wait a minute.” Ji Ran had a headache and interrupted him, “This matter is out of the question. I can’t sign you.”
”I said, that doesn’t matter.”
”No need.” Ji Ran didn’t wait for him to finish, “Are you sick? Why don’t you come to my place without signing the Ferrari?”
”I signed with them for performance, but by signing with you, I can develop in the country. Although I lost a signing fee, advertising and other things can attract more…” He Suiran quickly made a good excuse.
Ji Ran looked at him coolly and said, “Keep making it up.”
He Suiran took a deep breath.
He glanced at Qin Man, who lowered his eyes and didn’t even look at him.
He Suiran gritted his teeth and said, “I think…”
I want to be closer to you.
I want to wait for an opportunity.
He wasn’t sure what to say for a moment. He just hesitated for a few seconds and then he couldn’t say it.
Qin Man has been listening to them quietly without interrupting or expressing any opinions.
While He Suiran was silent, he calmly picked up the coffee on the table and handed it to Ji Ran.
”Don’t you want some coffee? Try it.”
He has a ring on his middle finger.
Ji Ran reached out and took it, and there was also a ring on his hand. Although their rings were of different styles, He Suiran had an inexplicable intuition.
Ji Ran used to be a prostitute, but he never wore those fancy decorations, including no rings or earrings. He once heard Ji Ran and Yue Wenwen joking. Ji Ran said those things were too girly and ugly to wear, so he never wore them.
But now, he has an extra ring on his hand.
Ji Ran took the coffee, took a sip, and urged him: “Finish it.”
He Suiran was speechless for a long time, then said hoarsely: “I think… I want to be on the same team with you again.”
Ji Ran raised his eyebrows in surprise.
In his eyes, He Suiran was just a former colleague, not even a friend, and the number of chats was very few… Why did he keep getting closer to him after returning to China?
He didn’t know that his casual words many years ago had imperceptibly changed the fate of others.
”I won’t recruit you.” Ji Ran came back to his senses and said, “You should understand such a simple truth that people go to higher places, right? My relationship with you is not deep enough for you to abandon your Ferrari contract, so forget it. ”
He stood up and said, “The coffee doesn’t taste good. Let’s go. Come on for the game.”
After saying that, he pulled Qin Man out of the lounge regardless of He Suiran’s insistence.
”Isn’t it a pity?” After walking for a while, he heard the person behind him ask.
Ji Ran raised his eyebrows: “What’s the pity?”
”If he joins the team it will be free advertising.”
Qin Man listened silently for a long time without interrupting, and it was also for this reason.
He Suiran is now the most popular driver in the country. As long as he comes, if nothing else, the attention from the media and sponsors will be much higher.
So he had been resisting the urge to take Ji Ran away.
”I’m not running an entertainment company, so I don’t need advertising.” Ji Ran said nonchalantly, “And I’m not running a club for money.”
He paused and changed, “It’s not all about the money.”
Moreover, after much thought, he felt that something was not right with He Suiran.
Who would give up a signing bonus worth tens of millions for a friend they haven’t seen for many years?
In short, whether it was because of his narcissism or because He Suiran really had that intention, he did not intend to have too much contact with the other party.
After walking around for a long time, I finally found the back door. Qin Man pushed aside and saw a few reporters-looking people sitting in the corridor outside the door, and the cameras were still there.
Compared with the front door, there are fewer people.
Hearing the movement, the group of people looked towards them. However, the two of them were wearing masks, so they didn’t pay attention. Seeing that they were not contestants, they all looked away.
One of the reporters was arranging a manuscript, glanced at them inadvertently, and immediately stopped typing on the keyboard.
This green hair…
He was stationed at the front door just now, knowing that the person He Suiran brought in just now also had the same hair color.
And… he remembered that in a recent episode of a popular variety show, among the passers-by who attracted netizens to watch, there was a man with green hair.
He was so anxious that he couldn’t put down the computer properly. He picked up the radio pen and rushed forward. After making sure that the colleagues behind him couldn’t see, he blocked their way.
”Hello, are you He Suiran’s friend? Have you participated in the variety show “Spring Travel”?”
Reporters have been on the gossip front all year round. His figure cannot be said to be strong, but he is definitely not thin. As a result, he was hit hard on the shoulder by the green-haired man as soon as he met her, almost falling down.
The two of them walked away as if they hadn’t heard anything.
The reporter leaned against the wall with a dissatisfied look on his face. As if he suddenly remembered something, he quickly opened the variety show, took a screenshot of the green-haired man, and tentatively asked a WeChat friend.
[Do you know this person? Do you have any information? 】
——
After coming out of the lounge, Ji Ran had no intention of going to the coffee shop again. The game starts in about twenty minutes. The sun is not bright today and there are still a few cool breezes. It won’t be too hot to sit in the auditorium.
Halfway through, Qin Man said he wanted to buy something. Ji Ran agreed and returned to the auditorium alone.
Looking at He Suiran’s female fan standing motionless in the audience, Ji Ran still admired her in his heart.
He returned to his seat, was bored, and chatted with them in the discussion group, and by the way, he mentioned his plan to open a club.
Cheng Peng: Yes, I will be your first sponsor. Do you want a car or money?
Yue Wenwen: Wow, I don’t have money, but I’m willing to be a racing baby for you [shy].
After Yue Wenwen finished speaking, he immediately sent a photo of himself wearing sexy shorts and holding a parasol.
Ji Ran accidentally clicked on it, and for a moment he felt like he was watching a pornographic film in public.
He turned it off with disgust on his face.
Dad Ji: I’m reporting you for posting pornographic pictures again.
Ji Ran was chatting happily when he heard a few whispers coming from behind.
”He’s so brave. My roommate’s idol also dyed this color before, but that period of time directly became that idol’s dark history.”
”Green is inherently unattractive and difficult to control. But his look is okay, and his eyes are pretty… I just don’t know if the original color will appear after taking off the mask.”
”Did he get cheated on by his girlfriend and get angry… Wait a minute, wait a minute!” The girl seemed to have discovered something, “Look at his hair color, does it look like that passerby in “Spring Journey”?!”
Hold.
He just wants to watch the car, why is he in so much trouble?
Ji Ran was hesitating whether to leave or not when he felt a heavy weight on his head.
Qin Man gently put the black peaked cap he just bought on his head, lowered his eyes and said calmly: “It’s too hot, please block it.”
After Ji Ran put on his hat and hid most of his hair, he asked him: “…Is this what you bought?”
Qin Man hummed: “There’s nothing good to see, so I’ll leave it at that.”
The voices of the people behind them gradually became quieter, and when the game started, there were only bursts of cheers.
It is no exaggeration to say that at least 70% to 80% of the people in this entire racing field were fixated on He Suiran’s car.
Ji Ran is one of those few exceptions.
The girl behind him: “Come on Sui Ran! Sui Ran makes this turn so beautifully!! Ahhhh Sui Ran is ahead of the pack!!!”
Ji Ran: “The first one should be No. 7, the Frenchman. I’ve heard of him since high school. He has plenty of experience, good reputation, and is very popular abroad… He Suiran’s cornering skills are not as good as his, a little bit behind.” More, I still have to practice… Tsk, I finally passed. He Suiran should have passed in the first two laps, but it’s still acceptable. If he keeps going, he can probably get third.”
The female fans’ eyes ranged from doubtful to cold, staring directly at Ji Ran’s back. Ji Ran remained unmoved and continued to explain to Qin Man.
Qin Man laughed, put his arms around his shoulders, and hugged him: “If you speak louder, we won’t be able to leave the auditorium for a while.”
”Don’t be afraid.” Ji Ran said, “I give free explanations, do they still think so? None of the above explanations are as good as mine.”
Facts have proved that Ji Ran was right. The results of the competition came out. Player No. 7 won the championship, and He Suiran came in third, worthy of standing on the podium.
When receiving the award, He Suiran looked frequently at the audience, as if he was looking for someone, but he didn’t even react when the camera came to him.
Then, his eyes stopped at a certain place, suddenly smiled, and waved slightly.
”Ah ah ah, is he looking at us!” The female fans behind them were excited, “Yes! Yes! He is looking at us!! He is such a doting fan, I love him!”
Ji Ran glanced back at He Suiran, without giving him any response, and stood up to leave.
This race was more boring than he thought. It was the peak transfer period for drivers recently, and many drivers did not participate in this race because they were still negotiating contracts.
The auditorium was almost full, and the stairs were narrow, making exiting very troublesome. Half a minute passed, and Ji Ran was still trapped in the auditorium.
Finally, after finally escaping from the crowd, Ji Ran was about to say something when he glanced at a familiar face.
It was the reporter they just met at the back door.
At this moment, behind the reporter was a man holding up a mobile phone to take pictures.
Ji Ran frowned and quickened his pace to leave. Unexpectedly, the other party was already prepared and ran up to him quickly——
”Ji Ran! You are Ji Ran, right!? The son of the late actress Zhao Qingtong——”
Ji Ran’s face instantly darkened.
Qin Man pursed his lips, stood in the middle of the two of them, isolated the reporters, and glanced at him coldly: “Don’t take random pictures.”
They continued to move forward without stopping. The reporter did not give up and followed them step by step.
At first, he just heard that the passers-by in “Spring Journey” had information, but thinking that no matter how exciting they were, they were just amateurs and could not afford to make any big splash, so he didn’t make a special trip to inquire.
Who would have thought that when I asked just now, it was really a big deal!
Insiders also advised him not to get involved in this muddy water, but he used to work in foreign news and was not afraid of this at all.
”Ji Ran, how did you and He Suiran meet? Is your appearance in “Spring Travel” manmade or an accident? Do you plan to enter the entertainment industry?”
I invade your whole family. Ji Ran said in his heart.
”Ji Ran, we are live broadcasting now. Many netizens are waiting for your answer. Can you please reply directly? Or are you feeling guilty?” The reporter followed closely, but when he saw Ji Ran didn’t respond, he felt a little worried. horizontal.
”Ji Ran, some netizens broke the news that you used to drink alcohol and take drugs. Is this true? It is rumored that He Suiran is abroad and often gathers people to take drugs. Now that you are close, is this more corroborated—— ”
The spectators who were exiting next to him were all shocked and stopped in their tracks.
The man holding the mobile phone saw that the live barrage on the mobile phone was getting more and more intense, and he quickly winked at the reporter and asked him to continue talking.
The reporter understands the psychology of the masses best, so he changed the topic: “Ji Ran, did your source of drugs come through He Suiran? Or do you have other channels? Have you ever thought about those anti-drug policemen who died heroically…”
Qin Man’s face had completely darkened and became terrifyingly heavy.
The people around him also stopped following these words.
Ji Ran broke away from Qin Man’s hand and finally stayed where he was. He took off his mask and asked the reporter expressionlessly: “What did you just ask me?”
Seeing him stop, the reporter was delighted: “Let me tell you, did the source of your drugs come from He Suiran? You…”
”The source?” Ji Ran sneered and said extremely calmly, “The source is the eighteenth generation of your stupid ancestors. They gave it to me in their dreams every night.”
The reporter was shocked.
…This is the first time he has been scolded during an interview in China.
Usually when those celebrities hear his nonsense and throw out questions, they don’t dare to betray him easily.
”You…are you so angry??”
Ji Ran ignored him and turned to the man holding the phone: “You are live broadcasting, right?”
The man nodded and held the phone in his hand, fearing that the other party would rush up and commit murder.
”How many viewers?” Ji Ran asked.
The man glanced: “Seventy, seventy thousand.”
”Seventy thousand?” Ji Ran said in disgust, “It’s too little. Which rubbish self-media company are you from?”
The man was stunned.
In the live broadcast room, the audience’s comments were flowing quickly, and more and more people were pouring in.
”Forget it, let’s make do. Hold your phone higher…who can you take a picture of?” Ji Ran reached out impatiently and raised the man’s hands.
Ji Ran’s whole face appeared in the live broadcast room.
Many netizens who were watching were stunned and didn’t know whether to post “Sima is a drug addict” or “So damn handsome”.
”Those keyboard warriors who farted under my Weibo before, listen up.”
Ji Ran looked at the camera, and to everyone’s surprise – he started talking to netizens in the live broadcast room.
”Those things about school violence and bullying, let’s put them aside for now. Here, I want to say to those idiots who are ‘defining’ my drug abuse on the Internet – if you have the ability, you can report your father with your real name, and make a fuss. It’s so big, if I really take drugs, it won’t kill me.”
”Otherwise, if you spread rumors as you like, it doesn’t matter to me. But dad, I also have a temper. If we don’t cross the line, we can still be good father and son.”
”Don’t think it costs nothing to hide on the Internet and spread rumors. If you make me unhappy, I will catch you at any time… Go to the police uncle and take a test. When the results come out, don’t you think dad will accuse you? die.”
Almost everyone was dumbfounded.
What Ji Ran said was not nice, and the words he used were extremely vulgar.
But this is the most arrogant way of clarification that netizens have ever seen.
The man was silent and looked down at the barrage.
All of them were “666” and “rumor-mongering Sima”. Several objectionable comments appeared but were quickly drowned out.
Ji Ran scolded him happily.
”As for whether He Suiran has taken drugs… Every racing driver will have a physical examination before the race. If you are curious, you may want to ask the team’s doctor.”
He nodded and simply finished, “Finally, pay tribute to the anti-narcotics police.”
As soon as Ji Ran finished speaking, Qin Man stepped forward and mercilessly covered the camera on his phone with his palm.
His eyes were gloomy and he asked, “Did you turn it off yourself, or do you want to get a new phone?”
The man turned off the live broadcast angrily.
Before leaving, Qin Man took out a business card from his pocket – ever since Ji Ran’s incident, he had been carrying it with him for fear that he would not be able to deal with it in time.
”This is my lawyer.” He put his business card on the reporter’s shirt and said calmly, “I suggest you not to make any malicious deletions of this video. For other matters, the lawyer will contact you within three days to handle it. .”
