My Perfect Enemy is Finally Broke Novel - Chap 86
Chapter 86
What Ji Ran is worst at in his life is dealing with elders.
He refused immediately without even thinking about it.
”You’re just accompanying me to pick them up. I’m not asking you to come out with me.” Qin Man didn’t give up. She was still pestering him in the middle of the night, regardless of whether he was asleep or not. She leaned up and said in his ear, ” I don’t tell them about our relationship.”
”Junior, don’t pretend to be asleep.”
”They know I’m staying at your house, so they want to thank you in person. If you don’t go tomorrow, they might have to come to your house.”
Ji Ran really couldn’t sleep – he didn’t even feel sleepy at all.
He opened his eyes suddenly: “So why did you tell them about living in my house?!”
”We can’t let you be the unknown Lei Feng.” Qin Man smiled.
He just likes to be Lei Feng! He just wants to do good deeds without leaving a name! Ji Ran sighed inwardly.
The quarrel lasted until late at night, Ji Ran was so annoyed that he kept turning over and nodded helplessly.
He thought for a while, but he couldn’t really let Qin Man’s parents come to his door. There was only one bedroom in his house, and their clothes and toiletries were all put together. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell something was wrong.
The next day, Ji Ran went out early in the morning, vaguely saying that there was something wrong with the driver and that he had to go for an interview.
After he went out, Qin Man asked Liu Chen to call the old employees who had stayed behind after the company went bankrupt to a private room of a certain food stall, intending to discuss cooperation projects that would be contacted during this time.
The old employees arrived on time. Several of them were sitting in the private room. When they saw the waiter in red and green, they were speechless for a moment.
In the past, they often had small meetings with their bosses out for dinner, and each time the arrangements were for high-end restaurants. The food was small and expensive, and they had work to discuss at hand. After the discussion, they were not in the mood to add more dishes, so Hui Hui stayed in the private room for three hours and still couldn’t get enough to eat.
Several of them had worked under Qin Man before. Although the boss was young, he had participated in the project early, and they had followed Qin Man since he started it. The relationship between these people is very close. Of course, they are still a little in awe of Qin Man. Now that Qin Man is not here, the topics they talk about are relatively casual.
One person joked: “You are ready to eat tonight. Have you seen the fresh food on display outside? That crab is bigger than my fist.”
”Liu Chen, you booked this place, right? Does the boss know that you booked this place? Be careful of getting scolded.”
”He directly gave me his phone number.” Liu Chen was silent, “He also reminded me… that it was busy on weekends and asked me to call a day in advance to make an appointment.”
Liu Chen thought it was a popular Western restaurant at first, but when the other party answered the phone, his words had a local flavor: “What’s wrong with Siwangqiao Seafood here?”
He hung up the phone at that time and checked the number several times.
Several people were speechless. Liu Chen casually picked up the side dish in front of him and took a few bites. He was surprised: “…the pickles are quite fragrant.”
Qin Man came soon.
Employees have forgotten the last time they saw their boss in casual clothes.
It wasn’t until a handsome man wearing a white sweatshirt and black sneakers walked in that they suddenly remembered that Qin Man was just 26 years old this year.
Smaller than everyone present.
”Have you ordered?” Qin Man sat down, glanced at him, and spoke calmly.
”I ordered it, just as you said, I just didn’t ask them to serve it,” Liu Chen said.
”If I’m late for the next meeting, you can use your chopsticks first without waiting for me.” Qin Man nodded, “Let him serve the food.”
Employees have been taking paid breaks for more than half a year.
They had thought that this meeting would be more tense and anxious than before – after all, they were now in a state of ‘starting over again’.
Unexpectedly, Qin Man just briefly talked about the progress of company registration and casually mentioned the upcoming projects.
”You should be able to go to work at the beginning of next month, but the workload at first is not as heavy as before.” Qin Man peeled the crab, “Liu Chen printed out the document and sent it to you. You all can take a look at it when you get back. You can take advantage of this time to put together the previous work.” Get your status back.”
Everyone responded, and their eyes fell on the crab in Qin Man’s hand.
The boss is worthy of being a boss. He peels a crab as gracefully as if he were using a knife and fork.
”Hey.” An employee seemed to have discovered something and said casually, “Boss, this ring…are you married?”
The table was quiet for a moment.
Everyone has eyes. Although the style of this ring is simple, its presence is not low. Someone discovered it early, but they didn’t dare to ask – his boss was most taboo about talking about personal matters at work.
The woman next to him coughed and wanted to get out of the situation: “Why are you getting married? Look at Dai’s position. Okay, let’s eat your crabs.”
Qin Man’s expression remained as usual: “Not married.”
”Oh.” The man came to his senses and said, “I just asked casually…”
”Yeah.” Qin Man said, “We’re just talking, not that fast yet.”
”…”
They didn’t expect him to answer, and everyone was stunned.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, wondering whether they should accept these words.
Only the big-hearted guy didn’t notice it at all and laughed loudly: “I’ve already put the ring on. It seems we will have more than one boss lady in the next two years?”
Qin Man paused and smiled: “He… probably won’t like you calling him boss lady.”
Seeing that Qin Man was in a good mood, others couldn’t help but ask: “Then what should we call her?”
Maybe… I’d like to hear you call me daddy?
Thinking of this, Qin Man’s smile grew bigger and he said no more.
After eating the crab, he wiped his hands clean, took out his cell phone and sent a message to his junior brother.
Q: Have you agreed to have dinner together?
Dad Ji: Not yet… I’ll try my best. I don’t know when we can finish the conversation.
Q: Is it troublesome?
Dad Ji: No trouble.
Dad Ji: It’s too long, too wordy, my butt hurts from sitting.
Qin Man raised his eyebrows and replied: Are you sure it hurts from sitting?
Dad Ji: [Knock your head off jpg]
Qin Man looked at the emoticon and couldn’t help but laugh.
The employees immediately stared at him like a rare animal.
After eating and drinking, everyone dispersed. Qin Man drank two glasses of wine during the banquet. After the banquet, Liu Chen naturally took over the driver’s job.
Passing by a convenience store, the person in the back seat suddenly said: “Stop the car.”
Liu Chen stopped at the roadside. Qin Man got out of the car and turned into the convenience store next door.
The convenience store was very small, separated from the street by a piece of transparent glass, and Liu Chen could clearly see what was going on inside.
After his boss entered, he didn’t go inside. He just picked at the shelves, then took several boxes of things and handed them to the front desk for checkout.
Liu Chen: “…”
We are all adults, and everyone knows what is next to the supermarket checkout counter. With a quick glance, he could see that his boss had taken at least three boxes.
Liu Chen is in his thirties and has met many big bosses. Qin Man is the most stoic one he has ever encountered.
Nowadays, it is difficult to eat meat, and it is normal to indulge a little.
It’s understandable, it’s understandable.
I just don’t know who the boss’s love interest is. Although he didn’t go to work during this period, he helped with a lot of things… I haven’t seen the boss getting close to any woman?
Qin Man returned home, but it was empty. Ji Ran hadn’t come back yet.
He put the things he just bought one by one in the bedside, bathroom, and drawers under the TV in the living room.
Then I sat in the living room and started a movie.
At four o’clock in the afternoon, when his junior brother still hadn’t come back, Qin Man picked up his phone and sent him another message.
Q: Shall I go find you?
Dad Ji: No, I’m going back.
Q: [Miss you, miss you, miss me jpg]
Dad Ji: …stop chatting with Yue Wenwen, and don’t always keep these stupid emoticons.
Dad Ji: [Picture]
The screenshot shows Qin Man’s WeChat profile card, and Ji Ran’s note to him is “a follower you meet once in a thousand years.”
Qin Man smiled, opened Ji Ran’s profile, changed a note, and sent a screenshot.
After this message, I didn’t receive a reply for half a day.
He waited for a while and sent two more emoticons, but still nothing happened.
Qin Man lowered his eyes and looked at the note “Kiss the younger brother”, thinking that the other party might not like it very much.
At nine o’clock in the evening, after checking the time for the third time, Qin Man finally couldn’t help but get up from the sofa and call Ji Ran.
As a result, the other party hung up after just two beeps.
Just as he was frowning and considering whether to call the police, a slightly dazzling car light passed through the iron door and shone directly on the floor-to-ceiling window.
The camera recognized the owner’s license plate and the iron door slowly opened.
Qin Man put down his phone and let out a breath.
After a while, when he heard the movement at the back door of the garage, Qin Man turned his head and smiled: “Even if you don’t like that note, you won’t ignore it…”
After seeing the person in front of him clearly, he swallowed back all the words he said.
Ji Ran’s face looked a little tired, and when he met Qin Man’s gaze, he felt a little uncomfortable and stopped where he was.
After the two were silent for a long time, Ji Ran couldn’t help but said: “…What are you looking at?”
He still wore the same outfit as when he went out, but his hairstyle was much cooler.
Ji Ran had his hair cut, it wasn’t particularly short, and the corners were trimmed neatly, making him look particularly clean and handsome.
The most important thing is…the green color he had dyed for several months is gone.
Instead, it was just the right amount of black, not too dark, as if it had been deliberately adjusted, and it was almost the same as my natural hair color.
It’s not that Qin Man has never seen Ji Ran’s black hair. On the contrary, this is the look he’s seen the most. In the past, every day when he went to school, he would see Ji Ran squatting in the men’s room wearing his school uniform, with a burning cigarette in his mouth.
Their class was not on the same floor. The reason why he could see it was because he liked to stand in the corridor at the top of the stairs after class every day, pretending to be holding a textbook. From that angle, he could just see the men’s toilet downstairs and Ji Ran’s black hair was easy to touch at a glance.
Occasionally Ji Ran raised his eyes casually, and they could have a brief encounter.
In the end, either Ji Ran rolled his eyes at him, or he turned around and left with a cold look.
The toilet didn’t smell good, but he enjoyed it.
Qin Man raised his hand, touched his hair, and asked knowingly, “Why did it come back?”
He paused and then asked, “Are you afraid they wouldn’t like your previous hair color?”
”No.” Ji Ran quickly denied, “…if you get tired of dyeing, you will be easily recognized. You have to touch up the color every day, which is troublesome.”
Qin Man raised his eyebrows and smiled: “I didn’t speak clearly, how do you know who I’m talking about?”
”…”
Qin Man picked out a piece of his hair, put it in his fingertips and rubbed it gently.
It feels soft to the touch, just like its owner.
”Actually, it’s green, it’s easy to recognize, and it’s not easy to get lost.” He lifted up the hair with his fingers, lowered his head and kissed it, “But it still looks good in black.”
Who the hell would get lost?
Ji Ran’s face heated up, and when the retort came to his lips, he still swallowed it. Feeling Qin Man’s gentle strength, he suddenly felt that the time he spent queuing in the barber shop was not wasted time.
The next day, Ji Ran woke up earlier than Qin Man.
Qin Man heard a few sporadic sounds and squinted his eyes quietly, and saw Ji Ran standing in front of the wardrobe, holding two sets of clothes in his hand and comparing them to himself.
He watched with interest, not alarming him, and even pretended not to hear the alarm clock ringing.
More than ten minutes later, Ji Ran put the clothes he picked on the top of the wardrobe, then suddenly turned around and walked towards him.
Qin Man subconsciously closed his eyes.
”Hey.” Someone touched his arm, “Get up.”
After a few calls, Qin Man slowly opened his eyes and looked sleepy: “Huh?”
Ji Ran lowered his eyes, and it took him a long time to say: “Are you… going for a morning jog?”
Qin Man blinked: “Aren’t you going to pick up my parents at the airport today?”
”Oh?” The junior pretended to just remember it, with a lazy and casual expression and a disgusted tone, “Really? I forgot. Tsk, forget it… let’s run again tomorrow.”
”…”
Ji Ran: “…Why are you looking at me like this?”
”…It’s okay.” Qin Man pulled the quilt up to hide his smile.
In the end, he couldn’t hold it back anymore, and he laughed so hard that the whole bed was trembling.
This is so fucking cute.
