My Perfect Enemy is Finally Broke Novel - Chap 97
Chapter 97
The employees were still discussing the doubling of wedding gifts this year when the door opened and Qin Man came back.
”Mr. Qin, we have served two new dishes. Please try them…”
”I have something to do, so I’m leaving first.” Qin Man took off his coat from the chair, put it on his hand casually, and said quietly, “I’ve paid the bill. After you finish eating, you can go home early and rest. See you on Monday.”
Liu Chen put down his chopsticks: “Mr. Qin, you’ve had a drink, I’ll see you off.”
”I’m not going back yet.” Qin Man left the box without looking back, “There’s no need to see me off.”
As quickly as he came, he left just as quickly. After the door closed, the employees looked at each other and were surprised at how quickly the boss changed his face.
In the corridor, Qin Man took out his mobile phone and took one last look.
Still no response.
He pulled his lips and laughed helplessly.
He didn’t actually feel angry.
He knew very well that Ji Ran and He Suiran couldn’t have anything. If there was even a little spark of fire between them, it would have been nothing to him.
Not answering his calls or replying to his messages were all things Ji Ran could do based on his temperament.
Ji Ran himself is such a person. His childhood experience has given him a casual and free-spirited personality. He can take away all the Ji family’s property at will, let alone an ex-boyfriend who cheated on him.
In Ji Ran’s eyes, he could probably be equated with the Ji family’s small fortune.
So he was just a little frustrated and unwilling.
Feeling frustrated about not being special.
Not willing to just stay in a dispensable position in his heart.
Qin Man only stayed there for about half a minute.
Then he raised his hand, straightened his tie a little, turned and walked towards the box where Ji Ran was.
Just as I was thinking about how to coax people away, I just turned the corner of the corridor and bumped into someone.
Qin Man was slightly surprised when he saw the person in front of him clearly, his hand still on his tie.
The distance between the two was too close. Ji Ran took a step back with surprise on his face: “…Why are you here?”
Ever since he saw that figure, Ji Ran always felt itchy.
It was so similar, the more he recalled it, the more similar it became. Even the suit he was wearing seemed to have been seen in the closet.
When he thought like this, he couldn’t sit still. Anyway, the matter was over, so I just found an excuse to come out and take a look. Unexpectedly, it was really Qin Man.
Qin Man quickly regained his composure, his Adam’s apple rolled slightly, and asked, “Why did you come out?”
Ji Ran: “Come out and use the toilet.”
Qin Man reminded him: “The toilet doesn’t seem to be here.”
”…”
Qin Man smiled: “Did you see me?”
”I asked you first.” Ji Ran frowned, “What are you doing here?”
”I just finished my work today and brought my employees over for dinner.”
Ji Ran frowned even more: “You drank like a dead pig last night, and you won’t rest today? Why are you so crazy about making money?”
”Well, aren’t we in a hurry to buy you more cars?”
”…Who the hell wants you to buy me a car?” Ji Ran looked behind him, “Is your dinner party over?”
”not yet.”
”Then what are you doing out here?”
Qin Man lowered his eyes and looked at him with amusement: “If I don’t come out, my ex-boyfriend will have an affair.”
”…”
Ji Ran’s face heated up and he rolled his eyes, “You’re already talking about your ex-boyfriend, why are you talking about cheating or not?”
Qin Man smiled and suddenly said: “The old man asked me to come in and take the family photo yesterday. I can’t push it away.”
Ji Ran was stunned for a moment, then said: “It’s just a photo, what’s the explanation?”
”If I don’t explain, I’m afraid you won’t reply to my message tomorrow.”
”How could I not reply to your message?” Ji Ran frowned and explained, “I left my phone at the breakfast shop. I have been negotiating the contract with the driver all day today, so I haven’t had time to go back and get it. Are you looking for me? ”
Qin Man was speechless: “I sent you a message for a day.”
Ji Ran: “…Don’t you think I was angry after seeing the photo, so I ignored you?”
Qin Man pursed his lips and acquiesced.
Ji Ran was a little funny.
When he first saw the photo, he was a little annoyed.
But he quickly calmed down. It’s just a photo, it doesn’t mean anything. Qin Man is holding the old man’s hand, not that woman’s hand. Why is he angry?
And he knows that although Qin Man is a liar, he is definitely not the kind of scumbag who chases and is with someone.
”Have you been drinking?” Qin Man suddenly asked.
Chen Qi has a competition in the next two days, and alcohol is prohibited during this period, so they can only drink tea instead of wine.
Ji Ran: “No, what are you doing?”
”I drank, and I didn’t drive here today.” Qin Man smiled, “Can you give your neighbor a lift later?”
He Suiran was chatting happily at first, but when he saw Ji Ran leading Qin Man back to the box, the smile on his lips immediately froze.
Why is this person everywhere? ?
”This is my neighbor, Qin Man.” Ji Ran casually introduced them to each other, “Williams racing driver, Chen Qi. He will be my driver next year.”
Although Qin Man’s identity is unknown, he is definitely not a small person based on his appearance and temperament. Chen Qi stood up and stretched out his hand: “Hello, I am Chen Qi.”
”Qin Man.” Qin Man shook his hand back with a polite smile.
Ji Ran sat back down, and Qin Man sat opposite him.
The topic just now continues. Qin Man didn’t know much about this aspect, so he didn’t participate in the chat. He just listened calmly and occasionally poured Ji Ran a cup of tea.
After about ten minutes, he figured out the situation.
Chen Qi was older than Ji Ran. He had heard of Ji Ran’s name a few years ago. One time, he came all the way from other places to compete with Ji Ran, but something happened unexpectedly and he couldn’t compete.
He originally did not consider returning to China, but after hearing Ji Ran’s name, he hesitated for a moment and decided to listen to the other party’s thoughts.
After hearing this, I didn’t want to leave.
The blueprint Ji Ran drew was huge, and if it were anyone else, he probably wouldn’t believe it.
”I have one last question.” Chen Qi asked, “In terms of investment, how do you consider it? Many teams now have sponsors, most of which are teams established by car brands themselves. It’s not that I don’t believe you, I know you have money. But… you have to know that many teams spend hundreds of millions of dollars a year alone. Even if we start small, it will cost tens of millions a year at least. This is a big account, and the team has almost no income in the early stage. You’re alone, so I’m afraid you won’t be able to survive, right?”
Ji Ran drank tea for a moment, and then said: “I will solve this problem. You are a driver, and you will not be short of the signing fee and the new car. Just run well.”
He Suiran said hurriedly: “Xiaoran, I know a few manufacturers, do you need me to help you set up a line?”
”Oh?” Qin Man spoke first, “What manufacturers do you know?”
Unexpectedly, he would interrupt, and He Suiran immediately named several domestic manufacturers.
”These are all businesses that sponsor your entertainment variety show.” Qin Man smiled.
He emphasized the words “entertainment and variety show” very seriously.
He Suiran’s face turned pale: “They are all very outstanding companies in the country.”
”Yes, but their investments have been very conservative in recent years. They are only willing to spend money on projects with a return rate…such as that entertainment variety show.” Qin Man’s smile did not change, “A project like this with risks and slim prospects, They won’t nod at all.”
He Suiran: “Qin Man, did you say these depressing words on purpose?”
”Just seeking truth from facts.”
Chen Qi hesitated: “I think what Qin Man said makes sense.”
”My current funds can definitely support the club’s expenses in the past two years.” Ji Ran interrupted their argument, “I will find sponsors. Don’t worry, as long as I am here, the club will not go bankrupt.”
He Suiran drank all the tea in one gulp, feeling very unhappy.
It was rare for Ji Ran to say a few more words to him today. He hadn’t even had enough limelight yet, so why did Qin Man come?
Besides, these two people have obviously broken up, so why is Ji Ran still willing to bring someone in?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the cup on the table was suddenly touched by the arm of the person across the table, tilting it to the table. The warm tea flowed out and spilled on his pants.
Qin Man held the teapot with an innocent look on his face: “Sorry, I bumped into it accidentally.”
He Suiran gritted his teeth and said, “…it’s okay.”
He was wearing white pants, and there were tea stains on them that couldn’t be wiped off with white paper. He stood up and said, “I’m going to the toilet.”
In the toilet, He Suiran stood in front of the sink, wiping his pants with clean water and scolding Qin Man in his heart.
”Are you scolding me?” A voice came from behind.
He Suiran was startled and turned around to see Qin Man standing behind him with a casual smile on his lips.
He Suiran ignored him and turned around to continue washing.
Qin Man didn’t care and continued: “I heard that you and Ferrari are going to sign a contract?”
”Nothing to do with you.”
Qin Manxiao: “Whether it has anything to do with me or not depends on your performance.”
He Suiran stopped and turned around: “What do you mean?”
”Stay away from Ji Ran.” Qin Man said bluntly, “Otherwise, you can only sign the contract in your dream.”
He Suiran was shocked and took a long time to react. He turned off the water and sneered: “Who do you think you are? Are you capable of this?”
”Whether I have it or not, you will know if you try it.” Qin Man said slowly, “You are not Ferrari’s first priority driver. They just want to attract more domestic fans through you. If it weren’t for you being quite popular in China in the past few years, Such pitiful fans… do you think they will choose you?”
He Suiran said: “Apart from me, there is no other famous racing driver in the country.”
”So it’s very simple.” Qin Manxiao asked, “If your reputation in the country becomes bad, do you think they will still dare to sign you?”
He Suiran was shocked.
He wanted to refute Qin Man – you are the only one who is bankrupt, how do you want to make me look bad?
But the words kept coming back to him over and over again, but he didn’t dare to say them out.
Nothing else, Qin Man’s expression and tone were too confident, making him a little uncertain.
After a long while, he said: “Let’s not say that you have broken up. It’s just that you haven’t broken up. Ji Ran and I are just friends. Do you care?”
Qin Man said: “Of course I don’t care if he makes friends. But for friends like you who only cause trouble for him, I will chase them away.”
Just thinking about the last time he was chased by reporters at the stadium, Qin Man felt a little angry.
Mentioning what happened before, He Suiran instantly lost his confidence.
In addition, he did have other thoughts about Ji Ran, so his tone of voice was a bit softer: “Your methods are too despicable, aren’t you? How are you different from a villain?! Qin Man, are you afraid of Ji Ran? Being with me, you don’t even dare to compete fairly with me——”
Qin Man interrupted him: “Fair competition?”
He seemed to have heard a joke and repeated, “You want to compete fairly with me?”
He Suiran bit the bullet and was about to say something when he heard Qin Man sneer.
”Why should I compete fairly with you?”
He Suiran: “…”
”Today, I will teach you a lesson – the property that your family has tried so hard to leave you, and the glory you have gained in the racing circuit over the years, are not for you to use to negotiate ‘fairness’ with others. Because of your identity as a Chinese, you have to When all foreign drivers who are better than you are eliminated from Ferrari’s contract list, why don’t you talk about fairness? When you kick out those singers who are better than you to participate in singing variety shows because of your status as a driver, why don’t you talk about fairness? ”
Qin Man sneered and said, “Fair competition, that’s what the weak would say.”
He Suiran blushed.
Just as he was about to retort, his eyes touched Qin Man’s back and his expression changed.
He gritted his teeth and said: “…but Ji Ran doesn’t like you, otherwise he wouldn’t break up with you. Even if you drive everyone else away, he still won’t be with you.”
Qin Man’s eyes darkened: “You don’t need to worry.”
He Suiran understood: “I understand. You just want to drive away all the suitors around him, and then use the same method you did to me to force him to be with you? What do you think he is, your private property?” ?”
”He’s not.” Qin Man said solemnly, “I am.”
He Suiran was startled: “…What do you mean?”
Realizing that he had made a mistake, Qin Man didn’t want to say anything more to him. He just said lightly: “Of course he can have suitors, but troublesome people like you can’t. This is the first time I’m warning you, and it’s also the last time. Don’t bother me again.” he.”
After saying that, Qin Man turned around and was about to leave, but when he saw the person behind him clearly, he stopped where he was.
Ji Ran put his hands in his pockets and stood outside the toilet, looking at him calmly.
He Suiran: “Ji Ran, did you hear that? This man is a pervert, he…”
”What does this have to do with you?” Ji Ran glanced at him coolly, “Is the perversion bothering you?”
He Suiran was stunned again.
”When you’re full, go back.” Ji Ran returned his gaze to Qin Man.
Not sure what the person in front of him was thinking, Qin Man came back to his senses: “…Okay.”
Leaving He Suiran behind, the two were silent all the way to the underground parking lot.
After getting in the car, Qin Man hesitated for a moment and decided to explain: “I…”
”Find some time and tear up all the photos in your house.” Ji Ran said.
Qin Man even felt his heart skip a beat, and after a while he said bitterly: “Why.”
”Didn’t you say that you are my private property? Just do whatever I ask you to do, there is so much nonsense.”
Qin Man was slightly startled and turned to look at him.
Ji Ran looked forward, his ears red.
He said: “I don’t know how much Auntie saw that day. It’s safer to tear it up. You don’t live there anymore anyway.”
Qin Man: “…but I just want to keep it.”
Ji Ran clicked his tongue: “Then you won’t post it somewhere else?”
Where to stick it?
Post it on his household registration book?
Qin Man only dared to think but not speak.
