This trick is wrong!

Lu Ran is not only the current job in the company, he is also the editor of the second-rate magazine "Half Moon" in D City.

The magazine is a semi-monthly publication, and the section he is in charge of is not too important, so such a job does not add too much to his burden. He only needs to use his spare time to find someone to ask for a manuscript, and then review, proofread, and typeset the manuscript when he returns home. Well, the job doesn't pay him well, so that's the main reason why he's allowed to work part-time.

And Lu Ran was always able to deliver manuscripts very well, so Editor-in-Chief Zhao had no complaints against him.

But Lu Ran knew that there were quite a few part-time editors like him in the "Half Moon" magazine, so he didn't feel embarrassed about it, and took the second salary with peace of mind.

Suddenly it was said that a supplementary issue would be made, and Lu Ran's work tasks became heavier. Before the company's working hours, he took advantage of this gap to find a few authors with good writing skills and reputation.

He went on another Qiuqiu number.

Editor Lu Ran: Sister Yingchun, I will be doing a 315 supplement in half a month. Are you interested in writing a review article?

Editor Lu Ran: Brother Zhang, 315 is coming soon. Does your unit have any specific measures?Write me a little material?

Editor Lu Ran: Beauty, write something about the 315 of employees, it takes more than 8 hours, and it should be more lively.

Lu Ran cast all the nets out, and then withdrew this autumn, and the rest of the work had to wait until he got home.

It is not difficult for him to ask for a manuscript, because many companies in D City require the task of publishing a manuscript, and those correspondents can also get paid for publishing a manuscript in "Half Moon", and some people even find him specifically to ask him to publish a manuscript.

The only difficulty is the sudden increase in workload like this. If the quality of the manuscript is not high, he will have to write the manuscript by himself, and then he will have a headache.

There is still a week before 315, and Lu Ran's procrastination will last for a few more days.

Although Qiuqiu on the computer has logged out, the mobile phone is still hung up. At this time, the screen lights up, showing that someone is chatting with him in Qiuqiu.

He usually ignores other chatterers, and he can only open it when he sees that it is from the editor-in-chief.

Zhao, editor-in-chief of Banyue: Lu, how are you doing? Is it too late?

Editor Lu Ran: It shouldn't be a problem. I have made a few appointments, almost.

Zhao, editor-in-chief of Banyue: That’s fine, I’m relieved on your side, and I have to urge others. They complained a lot when they heard that I was going to publish a supplement.

Editor Lu Ran: Unconditionally support Editor Zhao!

After this message was sent, there was no response for a minute. Lu Ran thought it was over, and was about to put down the phone when the screen lit up again.

Banyue Editor-in-Chief Zhao: Hehe, are you free tonight?

Editor Lu Ran: At night?I'm fine for now. What's the matter?

Zhao, editor-in-chief of Banyue: I invite you to dinner and express my gratitude.

Editor Lu Ran: No, actually it doesn't increase the workload.

Zhao, editor-in-chief of Banyue: Just treat it as a way of saving face. I can't touch the magazine on weekdays, and I can't invite you for a meal?

Lu Ran had no choice but to agree to the meal.

The two settled on a time and place.

Zhao Xu always gave Lu Ran a weird feeling, so he didn't want to have too much contact with him.

Zhao Xu was the same kind of person as him, with an upward sexuality.He feels that way.

But he really didn't like that feeling of invisibility.

That person, as if he remembered it, was close to him. If he couldn't remember it, he would have no contact with him except for work for half a month.

If it's playing hard to get, then he really can't play it.

But whenever the other party used this excuse to almost force a meeting, he couldn't refuse.

After all, nothing happened between the two of them, not even a real ambiguity happened. It was just a meeting and it was from the perspective of work, so he really couldn't refuse.

Before he got off work, he had already received replies from the drafters one after another, saying that he could complete the task on time and with high standards, and he was more than half relieved.

The agreed place was in a secluded western restaurant.

As a literati, Zhao Xu always likes to have something elegant, for example, when everyone is drinking beer, he likes to have some red wine.

In addition to loving arty, other aspects are okay.

The two sat together, Lu Ran casually ordered something to eat, and then began to listen to the other party talking to him about the country, policies, and what philosophical quotes the leaders of the country said at a certain meeting, and what ideas were put forward that were in line with the people's livelihood. new policy.

While pretending to listen carefully, Lu Ran devoted most of his attention to the steak under the knife and fork.

"What dream do you have?" After talking about Guomeng, Zhao Xu pulled Piaoyuan's thoughts back and asked Lu Ran.

Lu Ran took a bite, thought for a while, and said, "Live the life I want."

"What kind of life do you want?" The other party seemed very interested in this.

"Hmm..." Lu Ran put down his knife and fork, "I have enough money to spend, so I don't have to work, and then travel around to increase my knowledge."

"A very good dream." Zhao Xu said, "It's also a very distant dream."

Zhao Xu wore deep-rimmed glasses, and he looked like a pedant, but because he followed fashion closely, his clothes were trendy.

This is the first impression he gives people, he is a very elegant and fashionable literati.

But in Lu Ran's eyes, Zhao Xu was completely nondescript.

I can't concentrate on writing, and I can't catch up with the trend well. I want to grasp it with both hands, but I haven't grasped it well, and I am torn to pieces.

He would be a little dissatisfied with Zhao Xu, mainly because of the other party's attitude towards him.

That person was a little bit high above him, as if he had made up his mind that no one would look at him, so he flirted with him from time to time, as if pitying him, waiting for him to take the initiative to pick him up.

Although he doesn't have a man, he won't fall for such a person.

Besides, it's not that there are no people chasing him, and it's not like Zhao Xu. The reason why he is still single is that his requirements are quite special and too idealistic!

It's not up to this nondescript to pity him.

Lu Ran's mental activities kept swiping the screen, but he dealt with the other party politely on the outside.

When the other party signaled him that they could get in touch further, Lu Ran pretended to be ignorant and didn't understand the other party's meaning, and made the other party angrily show the regretful look of "no wonder I've been single all the time".

Estimating that in ten minutes or so, the meal would be finished perfectly, and Lu Ran started cheering in his heart.

At this moment, he saw a man and a woman coming in from the door.

Because the appearance of those two people was too good, he just glanced at them subconsciously, only to find that they were their bosses!

Lu Ran immediately pretended not to notice Wei Wei turned his head to avoid being discovered by the other party, but it was too late.

That man was already walking towards them with a woman. Although Lu Ran wanted to comfort himself that maybe he was just passing by, but when the other party stopped by his table, he couldn't go down.

"Of course, your friend?"

The man stood in front of him and spoke loudly.

"Ah..." Lu Ran almost bit his tongue, "Yeah!"

He rarely encounters such unexpected situations that make him not know how to deal with them.

In his opinion, Zhao Xu is not his friend yet, the reason why he is so embarrassed is because he has no way to introduce him as his editor-in-chief, because the tall man in front of him is his true love. ·boss.

He was afraid that his first job would be in jeopardy if the fact that he was still working his second job was revealed.

A strange color flashed in Huo Yichen's eyes.

Lu Ran's reaction surprised and interested him.

Over the past few days, whether it's suddenly pretending to be a lover, pretending to be intimate, or pretending to be a familiar friend, this person has always acted with ease. He has never hesitated as before when he just answered the question of whether he is a "friend" Unconsciously.

Huo Yichen narrowed his eyes, could it be...

He almost guessed that Huo Yichen must have gone astray, Lu Ran immediately stopped the other party from guessing, "It's just a friend."

Please, stop asking, a tacit understanding.

He conveyed it with his eyes.

The thought of being speculated about his relationship with Zhao Xu made him vomit, it was unacceptable.

"Lu, this is...?" Zhao Xu looked at the person in front of him and felt a little familiar, but he was sure that he had never seen him before, and he had never interviewed him.

land?This appellation is novel and intimate.

Huo Yichen shook hands with the other party, and smiled politely and modestly: "Huo Yichen, of course...boyfriend."
