Adopted daughter
Chapter 04
So obedient, but I want to hear what she has to say.
"I told you earlier that I hope we can become independent as soon as possible. Now that Tongtong is back, I can help you train her. But I have a suggestion, I hope you can consider it." Shen Jingran didn't say it was a condition, She knew that Guan Sicheng had a good face, and stimulating him would not help her achieve her goal.Guan Sicheng signaled Shen Jingran to continue talking, the sharpness in the depths of his eyes gradually revealed, Shen Jingran became more and more clueless, he wanted to see what the proposal was.
"Sicheng, I brought Qiutong out. With her ability, she can definitely become your right-hand man. If you lead her for a few more years, she can be the leader of Jianye in the same city." Shen Jingran listened to these compliments. Guan Sicheng is quite comfortable, and Shen Jingran is not necessarily lying. Lin Qiutong should have the ability, but it is difficult to say how much, and we can evaluate it later. "In the beginning we became husband and wife through a contract. The more purpose is to For business cooperation, I have to say that this marriage has benefited us all, especially me, so I am also very grateful to you."
Guan Sicheng's face turned cold, and his heart became even colder. Sure enough, Shen Jingran mentioned marriage.Shen Jingran noticed the change in Guan Sicheng's face, she knew what it meant, but she was not afraid, and continued: "I will do my best to take Qiutong with me, and when she leaves the teacher, I think we can end the contractual marriage early."

Guan Sicheng's face was completely frosted, he had already expected this result in his heart, and the blow to Guan Sicheng was still not small. He didn't speak for a long time, and seemed to be thinking about something with his head down.Seeing that Guan Sicheng was silent, Shen Jingran continued tentatively: "Sicheng, as a man, it's not easy for you. If you have happiness, you can really pursue it. I have no feelings for marriage, and I can't bring you happiness. The place of negligence. I really want to make up for it, but I am powerless in this regard, so what I can do is to end the marriage as soon as possible so that you can find happiness earlier."
Guan Sicheng sneered, slowly raised his head, and said with burning eyes: "Shen Jingran, you really impress me." The words were full of irony, Shen Jingran pursed the corners of his lips, and said nothing.
"You want to end the marriage as soon as possible, why, you have someone you like?" Guan Sicheng didn't want to be so indifferent and sarcastic, but he didn't expect that it was Shen Jingran who proposed to end the marriage first. How could he be unworthy of her?
"Sicheng, as I said, I have always been indifferent to emotional matters." Shen Jingran emphasized again that Guan Sixiang had been reminded, he snorted, and sighed, "Yes, you said that you only love For work, you only care about your career, and this career is your life."
These words made Shen Jingran's heart skip a beat, Guan Sicheng rubbed his forehead suddenly and sighed, "Some things really cannot be forced." Guan Sicheng raised his face again, his complexion softened a lot, and his tone was also the same, "I know, You said it was a proposal, but you have already made a decision in your heart, since you said it is a proposal, then give me time to think about it, after all, although you have no feelings for me, I am sincere to you." Arrived In the end, the words were a little more affectionate. Shen Jingran didn't expect Guan Sicheng to agree so straightforwardly. Guan Sicheng said with a wry smile: "Let's give each other some time to think about it and calculate it carefully. We have been together for 3 years. You re Take a look at our relationship, and I will sort out my own mood, but I hope that Tongtong's affairs will not be delayed."
"Okay." Shen Jingran is not a wordy person, since Guan Sicheng is so forthright, she won't make a fuss, "I will take Tongtong to work tomorrow morning."
In the morning, Lin Qiutong behaved very well at home. Guan Sicheng asked her to study hard and get out of the teacher as soon as possible. It was the first time that Lin Qiutong was so obedient and said that I would. Shen Jingran felt that spring was coming!However, the moment she left the house, Shen Jingran realized that she seemed to be wrong.Lin Qiutong crouched crookedly in the co-pilot, and the aggressiveness and fighting spirit he showed at home seemed to be false. Shen Jingran didn't judge, thinking that maybe Lin Qiutong didn't sleep well last night.
Shen Jingran introduced Lin Qiutong at the regular meeting on Monday. Lin Qiutong's performance at the meeting was not satisfactory. He introduced himself with only two sentences, one was my name is Lin Qiutong, and the other was, thank you.Shen Jingran said a few more words to smooth things over. Since Lin Qiutong loves photography, she planned to let Lin Qiutong's photography team get acquainted with the work first, and let the person in charge of the department take care of it. Lin Qiutong's eyes protesting was ignored.After the meeting, Shen Jingran left, leaving behind the department head and Lin Qiutong. The department head was either someone else or Chen Fang.Chen Fang smiled, as if he was very happy to have the opportunity to have more contact with Lin Qiutong. Lin Qiutong rolled his eyes at him and said calmly, "You don't have to be too happy, I will tell Shen Jingran." After speaking, Lin Qiutong got up and went to the president's office , Kang Miao made a gesture to stop her, Lin Qiutong grabbed Kang Miao's wrist and said, "I want to see Shen Jingran." Kang Miao stepped up to the door of the president's office and said loudly, "Photographer Lin, come in and out of President Shen's office. It is required to be notified.
"Really?" Lin Qiutong pretended to be surprised and said, "Then I'll go in and report myself." Lin Qiutong made a gesture to push the door, but Kang Miao just looked at him and didn't intend to stop him.Just as Lin Qiutong touched the doorknob, Shen Jingran opened the door. Kang Miao turned around and bowed his head to apologize. Shen Jingran glanced at Lin Qiutong and said softly, "Kang Miao, go get busy."
Kang Miao left. Before leaving, seeing Lin Qiutong gave her a demonstrative look, Kang Miao bit his lip and bowed his head to leave.Shen Jingran turned back to the office, Lin Qiutong followed quickly and said, "Shen Jingran, I don't need anyone to take me."
"Lin Qiutong, this is a company, not at home. I hope you can distinguish between public and private." Shen Jingran had a cold face, obviously with a businesslike attitude, "If you really study hard, then follow my method, I I can let you finish your studies and leave as soon as possible." Shen Jingran really planned to teach Lin Qiutong well, then Guan Sicheng would have no reason to refuse the divorce.
God knows, Lin Qiutong didn't come to study at all, and she never thought about leaving Jingjing Group early. She came to Jingjing Group with only one goal, Shen Jingran.Lin Qiutong showed a suddenly realized expression, Shen Jingran thought she finally understood, and wanted to nod in approval, but Lin Qiutong said in a jerk, "I don't care, I will be your secretary!"
Not to mention whether Shen Jingran agreed or not, Guan Sicheng was depressed when he heard about it. Taking advantage of the company's proximity, Guan Sicheng waited for Lin Qiutong to have lunch at the door at noon, intending to educate her by the way.Lin Qiutong turned into Shen Jingran's little tail and was following happily. Guan Sicheng disrupted the plan with a phone call, and said sullenly on the phone: "Qiutong, come with me to lunch today." Lin Qiutong raised his eyes, and looked again Shen Jingran acted as if I knew about it a long time ago, and felt angrily in his heart, Shen Jingran must have complained.
"Tell me about you, can you still have something to do?" Guan Sicheng couldn't help it. A tiger father has no dog daughter. His ambition is to dominate the business world, but Lin Qiutong's ambition is to be Shen Jingran's secretary!I'm so pissed off.Lin Qiutong didn't expect Shen Jingran to sue so quickly. If this stupid woman wants to be so close to Guan Sicheng, she will be so angry to death!
Lin Qiutong lowered his head and didn't eat at all. He buried his head so low that he couldn't see his expression.Guan Sicheng was very surprised, Lin Qiutong didn't talk back today, this is not like his girl, is it too serious?Maybe my daughter has a mind of her own.Guan Sicheng self-criticized, he always forgot to ask the child what he thought because he loved his daughter, Guan Sicheng slowed down his tone, and said softly: "Tongtong, dad is not blaming you, what do you think, it makes sense dad I will support you."
Lin Qiutong felt nauseous, she couldn't adapt to being too close to her family now, and she couldn't get close no matter what after a distance of 15 years.Lin Qiutong still didn't raise her head, and said sullenly, "I just feel that I learned more by being with Shen Jingran." Only Lin Qiutong knew the truth. At a certain moment, she made up her mind to pursue Shen Jingran.
☆, 43|04.10
In order to come to Jingjing Group, he had to resign. Lin Qiutong almost broke up with Su Xiu, and agreed to partner up to fight the world. Not long after, Lin Qiutong resigned.Thinking about what happened before and after, Su Xiu asked Lin Qiutong angrily if he had made a plan a long time ago, otherwise why would he tamper with the project of Jingjing Group.Lin Qiutong admitted that she was in the wrong and didn't explain. She let Su Xiu scold her for several days. She probably got tired of scolding in the end, and she also realized that Lin Qiutong had made up her mind to resign. Su Xiu said disappointedly: "Okay, what virtue do you have? I know best, I am powerless to change after making a decision, go wherever you want to go, and get out of here someday, if you are about to starve to death, come back and find me." Lin Qiutong was moved by Su Xiu's strangely affectionate words .
Su Xiu probably felt that her behavior just now was too soft and embarrassing, so she yelled, "Go away! I'm annoying to see you!" Lin Qiutong was speechless, why does this girl always wander between the goddess and the female man? Woolen cloth?At this moment, Su He, who didn't know the truth, happened to come over, and Su Xiu scolded her together, "Go away too! You two are as good as one!"
Su Ho and Lin Qiutong looked at each other, how could they be of the same virtue!snort!Both of them looked down on each other.
"Then what did you learn from Shen Jingran?" Guan Sicheng felt that Shen Jingran had more in common with him, and if possible, he wanted to take Lin Qiutong by himself.Lin Qiutong could only make up nonsense, "There are many, she is a representative of successful people. In this patriarchal society, women can do what she does, which is amazing." The compliments are true, Lin Qiutong admires Shen Jingran very much , but more distressed.
This is true, this point, Guan Sicheng also agrees, "However, Tongtong, if you want to learn the essentials of successful people, I can teach you too." If it wasn't for her own father, she would not have cared about it at all, but the family relationship is still there after all, and sometimes she would soften her heart when she saw a silver thread protruding from Guan Sicheng's black hair.
"Dad, I'm a woman, and so is Shen Jingran. In many ways, she can play a better role." Lin Qiutong was telling the truth, although her purpose of getting close to Shen Jingran was not only to learn, but also to get her.Seeing Lin Qiutong's true appearance, Guan Sicheng frowned and pondered for a long time before saying, "Okay, I understand." Seeing Guan Sicheng's frowning expression, Lin Qiutong didn't know, and thought it was something difficult.
Lin Qiutong had made up his mind, and Guan Sicheng was the middle part of the communication. Shen Jingran knew that Lin Qiutong's idea had been approved after receiving Guan Sicheng's call.It's obvious that Guan Sicheng dotes on Lin Qiutong. Maybe he lacked too much when he was a child, and now he wants to make up for it in every way. But as the president of a company, Shen Jingran can't let Lin Qiutong change his decision at will. Guan Sicheng naturally knows this.
"Tongtong is tall, but her mind is immature, and she grew up abroad, so she often looks unruly. However, she has no malicious intentions. Jingran, let's see how to deal with it. It's okay if she wants to be your assistant, this job is a test of patience. If you are afraid that she will not do well, you can ask your current secretary to take her. You are busy with work, and two secretaries are not too much. " Guan Sicheng didn't force it, maybe he knew that force was useless.
Shen Jingran hung up the phone, his head hurt a little, he poured water by himself with the cup, and relaxed his tense nerves by the way.Before I got to the tea room, I heard someone talking inside, "Minister Chen, you have to show yourself." It was the secretary Kang Miao's voice, very relaxed and casual, and seemed to have a good relationship with the other party.
"What are you showing, it's not easy to serve you." This was Chen Fang's voice.Shen Jingran raised her eyebrows, not knowing what it meant that her secretary had a close relationship with Chen Fang.Kang Miao is introverted and steady, he is very cautious in what he says and does, and he and his colleagues are business-like. This is the first time Shen Jingran has seen Kang Miao joking like this.
"Okay, okay, do things well and don't complain, just get what you want." Kang Miao said seriously, and there were a few slaps, probably patted on Chen Fang's shoulder, "I'm going back."
Kang Miao came out of the tea room at this time, saw Shen Jingran walking this way, and said with a smile, "Boss Shen, do you want some water? Let me do it."
"It's okay." Shen Jingran turned and went in, Chen Fang also took the initiative to say hello, Shen Jingran nodded and said, "Please pay more attention to Lin Qiutong's matter." Chen Fang nodded quickly, saying yes.
Shen Jingran made a proper concession. Once upon a time, Shen Jingran was too busy, and Kang Miao was too busy. Shen Jingran thought about hiring a secretary, but Kang Miao said that she could do it alone.Since Lin Qiutong can be a secretary if he wants to, being Shen Jingran's secretary requires him to know all the departments of the company. Therefore, Lin Qiutong needs to go to various departments for internships. The length of time depends entirely on the individual's comprehension ability. ... Everything is hard to say.Of course Lin Qiutong knew that she couldn't push her forward, and she also knew that Shen Jingran should be respected. She loved her and respected her even more.
Lin Qiutong really started to work in Jingjing Group, and he suddenly became respectful to every colleague in the company, which made everyone a little unaccustomed, thinking that Lin Qiutong was incompetent and wanted to please everyone, but unexpectedly, he did things in a decent manner of.Lin Qiutong's mind is not stupid, and she can learn and master it very quickly. In order to get close to Shen Jingran as soon as possible, she wished she could stay in the office 24 hours a day.Shen Jingran was completely unexpected. Every day she got off work and Lin Qiutong still hadn't left. Lin Qiutong wanted to be a secretary so much?How does it feel weird.Lin Qiutong was very obedient, but not all the time. Shen Jingran found that most of her misbehaviors were concentrated on weekends and evenings.
"Shen Jingran." At the dinner table, Lin Qiutong suddenly called out, and Shen Jingran raised his head, "Huh?"
"Evening..." Lin Qiutong hesitated, and Guan Sicheng also stared at her curiously, "Ahem, tonight, can you tell me a little story?" Guan Sicheng's eyes widened, and Shen Jingran was unavoidably a little surprised, "A little story ?”
"Well... I can't sleep at night lately..." Lin Qiutong lowered his head, looking very frustrated, "So, can... If you are in trouble, forget it." The words fell, and the person stood up and went back to the room directly up.Shen Jingran pursed the corners of her lips, and found that Guan Sicheng's gaze was suddenly a little sad, and said quietly: "She may be missing her mother. When she was a child, she couldn't fall asleep without listening to stories..."
Apart from agreeing, Shen Jingran could only agree, the child missed his mother, and she was forced to act as a substitute stepmother, but the careful Shen Jingran felt that this mother thought so suddenly!
☆, 44|04.10
It is not difficult to tell stories, and it is not difficult to coax children. The problem is that it is really difficult to coax a big baby.Shen Jingran was very awkward, she had never raised a child before, so it was unnatural to do such a thing, but Lin Qiutong was very natural, patted the bedside, with an innocent face, and asked, "Do you want to lie down and talk?"
Shen Jingran shook his head, Lin Qiutong sincerely recommended it, and said, "My bed is very soft and comfortable." Is she going to advertise for bed sellers?Lin Qiutong was so old, so he couldn't tell children's stories, so he picked a book that both of them liked.
"How about you listen to the radio?" After reading the story on the first day, Shen Jingran proposed on a whim. Lin Qiutong shook his head in protest, "The voices are different. I want to listen to you. It feels very real and has a lot of texture." Lin Qiutong Don't forget to put a high hat on Shen Jingran.
Shen Jingran had already expected this kind of thing. There was the first time, and there must be a second time. Almost every night at 10:30 was the time for Shen Jingran to recite.
I don’t know if it’s because Shen Jingran’s storytelling is really effective. Lin Qiutong will really fall asleep to her voice. At first, Shen Jingran still had a sense of accomplishment. Look, it’s easy to coax children!But there are always times when things don't follow the routine. Shen Jingran has something to do temporarily today, so she asked Lin Qiutong to go back to her room and wait, and she will go there when she is done.However, Shen Jingran entered Lin Qiutong's room half an hour later than usual. After entering, he found that Lin Qiutong was fast asleep, with a rosy mouth and a smile on his face. It must have been a sweet dream... The corners of Shen Jingran's mouth twitched , quit.
For several days in a row, Shen Jingran said at night that he had something to do and would be late, but every time he went in, the result was the same, Lin Qiutong had already fallen asleep.The two of them didn't criticize anyone, but when Lin Qiutong accused Shen Jingran of dereliction of duty for several nights, Shen Jingran said mercilessly: "You don't need to tell a story to fall asleep!"
Lin Qiutong twisted her crooked body aside, and said confidently, "I miss you and fell asleep, alas!"
"I'm a stepmother..."
"I'm thinking about stepmother..." Lin Qiutong suddenly turned his head and smiled brightly. The child was playing tricks again, and Shen Jingran said helplessly, "Your father doesn't think so."
"Hehe, I'm just joking, Shen Jingran." Lin Qiutong's eyes were shining brightly, Shen Jingran always felt that there was a piece of night sky deep in Lin Qiutong's eyes, and when he looked at her, he always looked a little deep.
At noon, Shen Jingran was busy past the lunch time. Kang Miao called to say that she was eating out, and she wanted to help bring the meal. Shen Jingran was hesitating when someone knocked on the door of her office, "Come in."
Lin Qiutong poked his head in, and blinked at her eagerly, with infinite longing in his eyes, Shen Jingran was amused, it was childish, "What's wrong?"
"Shen Jingran, I haven't had lunch yet." Lin Qiutong licked the corners of his lips, "I'm so hungry."
"Why didn't you eat?" Shen Jingran picked up her coat and bag and walked towards the door. Lin Qiutong reached for her bag to make it easier for Shen Jingran to put on her coat, and explained: "I don't want to eat myself."
Do people isolate Lin Qiutong, or does Lin Qiutong not fit in?It doesn't seem to be the case. Shen Jingran saw someone writing praises for Lin Qiutong in the company's guest book more than once.
"Can I eat with you in the future?" Lin Qiutong followed beside Shen Jingran, "It happens that you eat late, and I don't want to eat with them either."
"Isn't it good to eat with them?" Shen Jingran stretched out his hand, motioning for Lin Qiutong to give her the bag, but Lin Qiutong acted as if he hadn't seen it, and said distressedly, "They always eat fast food." I eat all kinds of fast food, and I will hurt if I eat too much, "Hehe, maybe they don't like to eat with me either."
Shen Jingran thought to himself: You still have this awareness.The two went straight to the coffee shop opposite, "Give me the bag."
"I'll carry the bag for you, you treat the guests, Mr. Shen." Lin Qiutong pretended to be serious, and Shen Jingran smiled helplessly, "Okay."
Shen Jingran did not agree to Lin Qiutong's request to have lunch together. After all, their relationship was already delicate, and Shen Jingran was fine, but considering Lin Qiutong's future development, she still set a certain boundary so that no one would gossip about Lin Qiutong.
Even though he was so careful, there were still gossips in Shen Jingran's ears, saying that Lin Qiutong and Shen Jingran had an unusual relationship.As for why it is unusual, there are many examples, saying that the two go to work together, eat lunch together, and leave work together... They are really inseparable.
"I heard that Lin Qiutong's background is very hard, and Shen is always his mother."
"It's the stepmother, okay?"
"How is that possible? Mr. Shen's husband's surname is Guan?"
"Who knows, but it still feels weird."
"Is there something between them?"
"That's what..."
The fact that Shen Jingran is Lin Qiutong's stepmother is kept secret, but it seems that it cannot be concealed at all.Some people know it, some people don't know it, so the rumors are messy.Shen Jingran asked Lin Qiutong, "Have you ever told your company colleagues that I am your stepmother?"
"No." Of course Lin Qiutong also heard those gossips, she didn't care, unexpectedly, Shen Jingran would suspect that it was her who said it.
"Let's go separately in the future, don't have lunch together." After thinking about it, Shen Jingran said, Lin Qiutong couldn't stand Lin Qiutong looking for her again and again, and it happened that she didn't have lunch, so they went together.Obviously there were only a few times, but the rumors said that they ate together every day, which was not conducive to Lin Qiutong's ascension. Some people would definitely say that Lin Qiutong came up by virtue of his relationship.Shen Jingran never asked Lin Qiutong about work on the face, but in private he would ask the heads of various departments, and Lin Qiutong who had never been in the sales department had more positive comments than negative ones.
"Shen Jingran, do you care?" Lin Qiutong didn't understand Shen Jingran's intentions, "Why do you care so much about what other people say?"
"I think you can consider buying a car." Shen Jingran ignored Lin Qiutong's words, his expression looked a little indifferent, "Let your father help you choose." Shen Jingran didn't want to delay the divorce process because of Lin Qiutong's study.
Shen Jingran's attitude made Lin Qiutong a little angry, but he was even more angry with those who spread rumors, what if we go to work together and eat together!I'm jealous when I don't have that opportunity.
Even if Shen Jingran repeated orders, Lin Qiutong would still come to look for her, and the timing was so precise every time, it was because she came back from a meeting to adjust her breath and was hungry... It was the same today, "No, you should eat earlier in the future, too. Don't miss lunch time all the time." Shen Jingran felt that he shouldn't agree to this matter from the very beginning.
"Then don't you want to eat?" Lin Qiutong didn't give up, Shen Jingran lowered his head to look through the information, and said, "Let Kang Miao order the food then." It's strange to say that every time Lin Qiutong came to look for her, Kang Miao didn't seem to be there, really Coincidence enough.
"So..." Lin Qiutong said in a low voice. She stood at the door without moving for a long time. When Shen Jingran looked up, he just saw Lin Qiutong's deflated and disappointed look, and his heart softened a little. "How about ordering an extra lunch for you? You go out after eating here."
"I still don't want it anymore, I won't eat it." Lin Qiutong moved his hand while touching the doorknob, and finally turned around to leave. Shen Jingran immediately stopped her, "Qiutong!"
☆, 45|04.10
Lin Qiutong didn't eat breakfast, and he didn't eat lunch. Sooner or later, his stomach would be starved. Shen Jingran knew how uncomfortable the stomachache was, so he said to Lin Qiutong, "Come in."
"Why don't you eat well?" Shen Jingran also stood up and talked face to face with Lin Qiutong. Shen Jingran was almost as tall as Lin Qiutong in high heels.
"I just want to have lunch with you, why can't this work?" Lin Qiutong was aggrieved, "Since you are so afraid of gossip, why bother whether I eat or not."
Children are good, they can do whatever they want, Shen Jingran said jokingly: "I'm doing it for your own good!"
"For my own good, just go out to eat with me. I know you hate eating boxed lunches, and I don't like it either." Lin Qiutong lifted his head from his lowered position, with a serious expression on his face.Shen Jingran was taken aback for a moment, but Lin Qiutong was quite careful, looking at the time, she was indeed hungry at the moment, let's pamper her again.
During the meal, Shen Jingran wanted to talk to Lin Qiutong about her thoughts, saying that the purpose of keeping a distance was not to obliterate her personal ability because of their relationship.Unfortunately, after speaking, Lin Qiutong's complexion did not improve.Shen Jingran felt that she was talking in vain, she rarely talked openly with others like this, after working for a long time, she was used to being euphemistic.
"Then why are you willing to eat well?" Shen Jingran put down his chopsticks and asked, it's impossible to go around in circles with Lin Qiutong, and it's impossible to reason, okay, Shen Jingran backed down.Lin Qiutong didn't care about other people's opinions at all, but she cared about Shen Jingran's opinions. Now the rumors from people around her made Shen Jingran uncomfortable, and she couldn't be happy either.The commute to and from get off work together has been cancelled, and Guan Sicheng is also helping to choose the car. It is estimated that Shen Jingran and Guan Sicheng have communicated. Could it be that the only lunch meeting is gone?Lin Qiutong didn't want to eat at the moment, and was so depressed that he wanted to eat people.Who is spreading rumors!Even if you spread rumors, can you create some emotional scandals!Why do you keep talking about work?I really don't understand her heart, Lin Qiutong will die of joy if there is a relationship scandal!
Ever since she found out that Lin Qiutong resigned to work in Jingjing Group, Su Xiu's attitude changed 180 degrees, from a bitter wife to a caring big sister.At noon, Lin Qiutong and Shen Jingran returned to the company after lunch. Lin Qiutong chatted with Su Xiu on QQ, and the topic involuntarily came to Shen Jingran.
Lin Qiutong: Xiu'er, tell me, are the people in the company bored? Shen Jingran dare not have dinner with me because of the trouble. I'm so depressed, but Shen Jingran is right.
It can be said that there is no secret between Lin Qiutong and Su Xiu. If Lin Qiutong wants to confide, Su Xiu must be the No. 1 pick.
Su Xiu: Poor little Tongtong, don't pay attention to those people, they are just envious and jealous.
This is normal. Shen Jingran's charm index in the company is top-notch. Although he has a friendly side, his high and inviolable iceberg index is not low. Therefore, most people have longing for the queen and think that the queen So noble, it should be enshrined on it.But one day, a person broke their illusion, and Lin Qiutong actually walked so close to the queen, commuting to get off work, eating... So, everyone's brain cells became active, and the results of guesses were also various.
Lin Qiutong: I don't bother to care about them, you know I'm not the kind of person who will change myself because of what other people say, but Shen Jingran seems to mind very much, and said that it's for me, and I don't even have time for lunch with her .
Su Xiu actually wondered that Lin Qiutong would tell her about Shen Jingran so bluntly. Did this idiot forget what she said before?She said she hated Shen Jingran!Now this is not disgusting, even Su Xiu can read a different flavor from it, so, is Lin Qiutong pouring out his little troubles about chasing people?
In this case, Su Xiu naturally wanted to stand by her friend, but...Su Xiu hesitated again, the goddess is Lin Qiutong's stepmother!How could she have forgotten this, so Su Xiu, who originally wanted to help Lin Qiutong, stopped talking.
Lin Qiutong: Xiu'er, aren't you very resourceful?Tell me, what should I do, I don't want to give up my only lunch time.
Su Xiu: Do you really want to have lunch with the goddess so much?Have you thought about the reason?
Su Xiu was very worried that Lin Qiutong would be stuck in it and couldn't extricate herself. Maybe, as a friend, she should wake Lin Qiutong up, and let her see what a rebellious thing she was doing.
Lin Qiutong: There is no reason. I have observed that Shen Jingran seldom eats lunch normally. Sometimes she will directly skip the meal during meetings. Even if she does not skip ordering a box lunch for her, she still eats very little.Her stomach is also bad. I think someone eating with her will make her form a good habit, that is, she must eat lunch. Since she wants to eat, why can't she go out and eat well?
Lin Qiutong: People don't live for work, not for making money. It's fine if they don't eat for other reasons. Why can't they even cherish themselves because of work and money?I really don't know why some people don't love themselves.
There is deep pity and heartache in these words, the goddess is working so hard, although she looks so handsome!But what Qiu Tong said makes sense!It turned out that Qiu Tong had this in mind. Since it's not love, then she can make a move, right?
Su Xiu: Xiao Tongtong, isn't your cooking skill the best in the world?If you don't play now, when will you wait?Cook every day, every meal is nutritious, and you can eat it together, saving time, delicious and healthy!
"Shen Jingran, I will cook from now on and bring it here every day, if you don't mind we can eat together." When getting off work, Lin Qiutong came to report, Shen Jingran hadn't looked up yet, Lin Qiutong had already gone out.Shen Jingran looked at his watch, it happened to be off work time, for the first time, this child walked so punctually, even if she refused to go off work together in the past, Lin Qiutong still insisted on going off work at the same time with her, the two of them would walk through the office together, take the elevator together, and walk out of the hall , then one to the left and one to the right.This child didn't give her a choice at all, what if she minded?
However, today, I'm going to be alone, Shen Jingran looked out of the window with his hand on his chin, the setting sun was slanting, and the day passed like this.Day after day, year after year, people, in a hurry, what is it for?
After returning home, Shen Jingran realized that Lin Qiutong had returned to another home. Is this kid for real?Do you really want to bring a meal?Guan Sicheng just came out of the room, saw Shen Jingran concentrating, and said in surprise: "You came back early today."
"Oh, I'm a little tired, um, I came back early." Shen Jingran recovered.
"Thank you, Jingran, how is Tongtong studying recently?" Guan Sicheng could see the tiredness on Shen Jingran's face, and he felt pity in his heart.
"She has a strong learning ability and can master it quickly. If she is rotated, she will miss the sales department. After a period of internship in the sales department, I will take her personally." Shen Jingran smiled and reminded: "I hope you don't forget our agreement."
The pity that rose was instantly stifled, Guan Sicheng's face became ugly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, a little cold, and said: "As long as Tongtong personally says that she has learned it, I will naturally abide by the agreement."
Guan Sicheng's obsessive words made Shen Jingran a little suspicious. The next day, after the meeting, Shen Jingran asked Lin Qiutong to come to her office.Lin Qiutong followed her happily with a small grin, Shen Jingran turned around and was about to speak when he caught a glimpse of the child's unconcealable smile, couldn't help but also laughed and asked, "What's so good about being so happy?"
☆, 46|04.10
"Ah! It's nothing, cough cough." Lin Qiutong pursed her lips and scratched her head, as if embarrassed.Shen Jingran shook her head, she should not guess what a child is thinking.
After entering the office, Shen Jingran sat down and pointed to the chair, "You can sit too." After Lin Qiutong sat down, Shen Jingran began to say: "I heard the evaluations of you from various departments are very fair, and I will go to the sales department from today. Come on, if you have any comments or suggestions, you can say it."
"No."
"Well, that is, you have learned the theoretical knowledge of each department?"
"Let's be so-so."
"I want an accurate answer." Shen Jingran has always been serious in her work, but the so-so and perfunctory answer made her frown. Lin Qiutong understood the meaning and said instead: "I have learned it." Originally, theory is not difficult, Even if there are difficulties, they will only be encountered during practice.
"Okay, I hope you can keep it until the day I finish taking you, can you say in front of anyone, I, Lin Qiutong, can do it?" Shen Jingran did this because of uncertainty in his heart, so he said in advance drill.
"Yes." Lin Qiutong is very well-behaved, and Shen Jingran has high hopes for her, so she will not disappoint Shen Jingran, but Lin Qiutong didn't think about what Shen Jingran's purpose was for saying this.In Lin Qiutong's heart, there is a law, Shen Jingran can't be disappointed, she can't be sad, within her ability, she wants to give Shen Jingran the best.
At lunch time, Shen Jingran got busy and forgot to eat lunch. He was stuck in the sofa chair and talked on the phone with his back to the door. While talking, he could smell the fragrance, um, I was a little hungry.Shen Jingran caressed his lower abdomen and turned the chair, still saying that I gave you all my drawings. I didn't know when Lin Qiutong came in before, with a few lunch boxes in one hand, which contained hot meals, and the other Carrying... a plate?The speed of Shen Jingran's speech slowed down unconsciously, Lin Qiutong shook the bag in his hand, raised his graceful chin, pointed to the restaurant and walked in.
"Uh... well, we'll talk about this matter later, I tell you, don't change my design without authorization, my home is of course to be pretended to be what I like, okay, okay, every time I talk to you , I can’t go down for an hour.” Shen Jingran said to Liu Xi on the phone speechlessly, “You’re so embarrassed to be hungry, my lunch time was delayed by you.”
In response to Liu Xi's invitation to lunch, Shen Jingran stood up and looked into the restaurant through the glass window with his mobile phone.
"I told you earlier that I hope we can become independent as soon as possible. Now that Tongtong is back, I can help you train her. But I have a suggestion, I hope you can consider it." Shen Jingran didn't say it was a condition, She knew that Guan Sicheng had a good face, and stimulating him would not help her achieve her goal.Guan Sicheng signaled Shen Jingran to continue talking, the sharpness in the depths of his eyes gradually revealed, Shen Jingran became more and more clueless, he wanted to see what the proposal was.
"Sicheng, I brought Qiutong out. With her ability, she can definitely become your right-hand man. If you lead her for a few more years, she can be the leader of Jianye in the same city." Shen Jingran listened to these compliments. Guan Sicheng is quite comfortable, and Shen Jingran is not necessarily lying. Lin Qiutong should have the ability, but it is difficult to say how much, and we can evaluate it later. "In the beginning we became husband and wife through a contract. The more purpose is to For business cooperation, I have to say that this marriage has benefited us all, especially me, so I am also very grateful to you."
Guan Sicheng's face turned cold, and his heart became even colder. Sure enough, Shen Jingran mentioned marriage.Shen Jingran noticed the change in Guan Sicheng's face, she knew what it meant, but she was not afraid, and continued: "I will do my best to take Qiutong with me, and when she leaves the teacher, I think we can end the contractual marriage early."
☆, 42|4.10
Guan Sicheng's face was completely frosted, he had already expected this result in his heart, and the blow to Guan Sicheng was still not small. He didn't speak for a long time, and seemed to be thinking about something with his head down.Seeing that Guan Sicheng was silent, Shen Jingran continued tentatively: "Sicheng, as a man, it's not easy for you. If you have happiness, you can really pursue it. I have no feelings for marriage, and I can't bring you happiness. The place of negligence. I really want to make up for it, but I am powerless in this regard, so what I can do is to end the marriage as soon as possible so that you can find happiness earlier."
Guan Sicheng sneered, slowly raised his head, and said with burning eyes: "Shen Jingran, you really impress me." The words were full of irony, Shen Jingran pursed the corners of his lips, and said nothing.
"You want to end the marriage as soon as possible, why, you have someone you like?" Guan Sicheng didn't want to be so indifferent and sarcastic, but he didn't expect that it was Shen Jingran who proposed to end the marriage first. How could he be unworthy of her?
"Sicheng, as I said, I have always been indifferent to emotional matters." Shen Jingran emphasized again that Guan Sixiang had been reminded, he snorted, and sighed, "Yes, you said that you only love For work, you only care about your career, and this career is your life."
These words made Shen Jingran's heart skip a beat, Guan Sicheng rubbed his forehead suddenly and sighed, "Some things really cannot be forced." Guan Sicheng raised his face again, his complexion softened a lot, and his tone was also the same, "I know, You said it was a proposal, but you have already made a decision in your heart, since you said it is a proposal, then give me time to think about it, after all, although you have no feelings for me, I am sincere to you." Arrived In the end, the words were a little more affectionate. Shen Jingran didn't expect Guan Sicheng to agree so straightforwardly. Guan Sicheng said with a wry smile: "Let's give each other some time to think about it and calculate it carefully. We have been together for 3 years. You re Take a look at our relationship, and I will sort out my own mood, but I hope that Tongtong's affairs will not be delayed."
"Okay." Shen Jingran is not a wordy person, since Guan Sicheng is so forthright, she won't make a fuss, "I will take Tongtong to work tomorrow morning."
In the morning, Lin Qiutong behaved very well at home. Guan Sicheng asked her to study hard and get out of the teacher as soon as possible. It was the first time that Lin Qiutong was so obedient and said that I would. Shen Jingran felt that spring was coming!However, the moment she left the house, Shen Jingran realized that she seemed to be wrong.Lin Qiutong crouched crookedly in the co-pilot, and the aggressiveness and fighting spirit he showed at home seemed to be false. Shen Jingran didn't judge, thinking that maybe Lin Qiutong didn't sleep well last night.
Shen Jingran introduced Lin Qiutong at the regular meeting on Monday. Lin Qiutong's performance at the meeting was not satisfactory. He introduced himself with only two sentences, one was my name is Lin Qiutong, and the other was, thank you.Shen Jingran said a few more words to smooth things over. Since Lin Qiutong loves photography, she planned to let Lin Qiutong's photography team get acquainted with the work first, and let the person in charge of the department take care of it. Lin Qiutong's eyes protesting was ignored.After the meeting, Shen Jingran left, leaving behind the department head and Lin Qiutong. The department head was either someone else or Chen Fang.Chen Fang smiled, as if he was very happy to have the opportunity to have more contact with Lin Qiutong. Lin Qiutong rolled his eyes at him and said calmly, "You don't have to be too happy, I will tell Shen Jingran." After speaking, Lin Qiutong got up and went to the president's office , Kang Miao made a gesture to stop her, Lin Qiutong grabbed Kang Miao's wrist and said, "I want to see Shen Jingran." Kang Miao stepped up to the door of the president's office and said loudly, "Photographer Lin, come in and out of President Shen's office. It is required to be notified.
"Really?" Lin Qiutong pretended to be surprised and said, "Then I'll go in and report myself." Lin Qiutong made a gesture to push the door, but Kang Miao just looked at him and didn't intend to stop him.Just as Lin Qiutong touched the doorknob, Shen Jingran opened the door. Kang Miao turned around and bowed his head to apologize. Shen Jingran glanced at Lin Qiutong and said softly, "Kang Miao, go get busy."
Kang Miao left. Before leaving, seeing Lin Qiutong gave her a demonstrative look, Kang Miao bit his lip and bowed his head to leave.Shen Jingran turned back to the office, Lin Qiutong followed quickly and said, "Shen Jingran, I don't need anyone to take me."
"Lin Qiutong, this is a company, not at home. I hope you can distinguish between public and private." Shen Jingran had a cold face, obviously with a businesslike attitude, "If you really study hard, then follow my method, I I can let you finish your studies and leave as soon as possible." Shen Jingran really planned to teach Lin Qiutong well, then Guan Sicheng would have no reason to refuse the divorce.
God knows, Lin Qiutong didn't come to study at all, and she never thought about leaving Jingjing Group early. She came to Jingjing Group with only one goal, Shen Jingran.Lin Qiutong showed a suddenly realized expression, Shen Jingran thought she finally understood, and wanted to nod in approval, but Lin Qiutong said in a jerk, "I don't care, I will be your secretary!"
Not to mention whether Shen Jingran agreed or not, Guan Sicheng was depressed when he heard about it. Taking advantage of the company's proximity, Guan Sicheng waited for Lin Qiutong to have lunch at the door at noon, intending to educate her by the way.Lin Qiutong turned into Shen Jingran's little tail and was following happily. Guan Sicheng disrupted the plan with a phone call, and said sullenly on the phone: "Qiutong, come with me to lunch today." Lin Qiutong raised his eyes, and looked again Shen Jingran acted as if I knew about it a long time ago, and felt angrily in his heart, Shen Jingran must have complained.
"Tell me about you, can you still have something to do?" Guan Sicheng couldn't help it. A tiger father has no dog daughter. His ambition is to dominate the business world, but Lin Qiutong's ambition is to be Shen Jingran's secretary!I'm so pissed off.Lin Qiutong didn't expect Shen Jingran to sue so quickly. If this stupid woman wants to be so close to Guan Sicheng, she will be so angry to death!
Lin Qiutong lowered his head and didn't eat at all. He buried his head so low that he couldn't see his expression.Guan Sicheng was very surprised, Lin Qiutong didn't talk back today, this is not like his girl, is it too serious?Maybe my daughter has a mind of her own.Guan Sicheng self-criticized, he always forgot to ask the child what he thought because he loved his daughter, Guan Sicheng slowed down his tone, and said softly: "Tongtong, dad is not blaming you, what do you think, it makes sense dad I will support you."
Lin Qiutong felt nauseous, she couldn't adapt to being too close to her family now, and she couldn't get close no matter what after a distance of 15 years.Lin Qiutong still didn't raise her head, and said sullenly, "I just feel that I learned more by being with Shen Jingran." Only Lin Qiutong knew the truth. At a certain moment, she made up her mind to pursue Shen Jingran.
☆, 43|04.10
In order to come to Jingjing Group, he had to resign. Lin Qiutong almost broke up with Su Xiu, and agreed to partner up to fight the world. Not long after, Lin Qiutong resigned.Thinking about what happened before and after, Su Xiu asked Lin Qiutong angrily if he had made a plan a long time ago, otherwise why would he tamper with the project of Jingjing Group.Lin Qiutong admitted that she was in the wrong and didn't explain. She let Su Xiu scold her for several days. She probably got tired of scolding in the end, and she also realized that Lin Qiutong had made up her mind to resign. Su Xiu said disappointedly: "Okay, what virtue do you have? I know best, I am powerless to change after making a decision, go wherever you want to go, and get out of here someday, if you are about to starve to death, come back and find me." Lin Qiutong was moved by Su Xiu's strangely affectionate words .
Su Xiu probably felt that her behavior just now was too soft and embarrassing, so she yelled, "Go away! I'm annoying to see you!" Lin Qiutong was speechless, why does this girl always wander between the goddess and the female man? Woolen cloth?At this moment, Su He, who didn't know the truth, happened to come over, and Su Xiu scolded her together, "Go away too! You two are as good as one!"
Su Ho and Lin Qiutong looked at each other, how could they be of the same virtue!snort!Both of them looked down on each other.
"Then what did you learn from Shen Jingran?" Guan Sicheng felt that Shen Jingran had more in common with him, and if possible, he wanted to take Lin Qiutong by himself.Lin Qiutong could only make up nonsense, "There are many, she is a representative of successful people. In this patriarchal society, women can do what she does, which is amazing." The compliments are true, Lin Qiutong admires Shen Jingran very much , but more distressed.
This is true, this point, Guan Sicheng also agrees, "However, Tongtong, if you want to learn the essentials of successful people, I can teach you too." If it wasn't for her own father, she would not have cared about it at all, but the family relationship is still there after all, and sometimes she would soften her heart when she saw a silver thread protruding from Guan Sicheng's black hair.
"Dad, I'm a woman, and so is Shen Jingran. In many ways, she can play a better role." Lin Qiutong was telling the truth, although her purpose of getting close to Shen Jingran was not only to learn, but also to get her.Seeing Lin Qiutong's true appearance, Guan Sicheng frowned and pondered for a long time before saying, "Okay, I understand." Seeing Guan Sicheng's frowning expression, Lin Qiutong didn't know, and thought it was something difficult.
Lin Qiutong had made up his mind, and Guan Sicheng was the middle part of the communication. Shen Jingran knew that Lin Qiutong's idea had been approved after receiving Guan Sicheng's call.It's obvious that Guan Sicheng dotes on Lin Qiutong. Maybe he lacked too much when he was a child, and now he wants to make up for it in every way. But as the president of a company, Shen Jingran can't let Lin Qiutong change his decision at will. Guan Sicheng naturally knows this.
"Tongtong is tall, but her mind is immature, and she grew up abroad, so she often looks unruly. However, she has no malicious intentions. Jingran, let's see how to deal with it. It's okay if she wants to be your assistant, this job is a test of patience. If you are afraid that she will not do well, you can ask your current secretary to take her. You are busy with work, and two secretaries are not too much. " Guan Sicheng didn't force it, maybe he knew that force was useless.
Shen Jingran hung up the phone, his head hurt a little, he poured water by himself with the cup, and relaxed his tense nerves by the way.Before I got to the tea room, I heard someone talking inside, "Minister Chen, you have to show yourself." It was the secretary Kang Miao's voice, very relaxed and casual, and seemed to have a good relationship with the other party.
"What are you showing, it's not easy to serve you." This was Chen Fang's voice.Shen Jingran raised her eyebrows, not knowing what it meant that her secretary had a close relationship with Chen Fang.Kang Miao is introverted and steady, he is very cautious in what he says and does, and he and his colleagues are business-like. This is the first time Shen Jingran has seen Kang Miao joking like this.
"Okay, okay, do things well and don't complain, just get what you want." Kang Miao said seriously, and there were a few slaps, probably patted on Chen Fang's shoulder, "I'm going back."
Kang Miao came out of the tea room at this time, saw Shen Jingran walking this way, and said with a smile, "Boss Shen, do you want some water? Let me do it."
"It's okay." Shen Jingran turned and went in, Chen Fang also took the initiative to say hello, Shen Jingran nodded and said, "Please pay more attention to Lin Qiutong's matter." Chen Fang nodded quickly, saying yes.
Shen Jingran made a proper concession. Once upon a time, Shen Jingran was too busy, and Kang Miao was too busy. Shen Jingran thought about hiring a secretary, but Kang Miao said that she could do it alone.Since Lin Qiutong can be a secretary if he wants to, being Shen Jingran's secretary requires him to know all the departments of the company. Therefore, Lin Qiutong needs to go to various departments for internships. The length of time depends entirely on the individual's comprehension ability. ... Everything is hard to say.Of course Lin Qiutong knew that she couldn't push her forward, and she also knew that Shen Jingran should be respected. She loved her and respected her even more.
Lin Qiutong really started to work in Jingjing Group, and he suddenly became respectful to every colleague in the company, which made everyone a little unaccustomed, thinking that Lin Qiutong was incompetent and wanted to please everyone, but unexpectedly, he did things in a decent manner of.Lin Qiutong's mind is not stupid, and she can learn and master it very quickly. In order to get close to Shen Jingran as soon as possible, she wished she could stay in the office 24 hours a day.Shen Jingran was completely unexpected. Every day she got off work and Lin Qiutong still hadn't left. Lin Qiutong wanted to be a secretary so much?How does it feel weird.Lin Qiutong was very obedient, but not all the time. Shen Jingran found that most of her misbehaviors were concentrated on weekends and evenings.
"Shen Jingran." At the dinner table, Lin Qiutong suddenly called out, and Shen Jingran raised his head, "Huh?"
"Evening..." Lin Qiutong hesitated, and Guan Sicheng also stared at her curiously, "Ahem, tonight, can you tell me a little story?" Guan Sicheng's eyes widened, and Shen Jingran was unavoidably a little surprised, "A little story ?”
"Well... I can't sleep at night lately..." Lin Qiutong lowered his head, looking very frustrated, "So, can... If you are in trouble, forget it." The words fell, and the person stood up and went back to the room directly up.Shen Jingran pursed the corners of her lips, and found that Guan Sicheng's gaze was suddenly a little sad, and said quietly: "She may be missing her mother. When she was a child, she couldn't fall asleep without listening to stories..."
Apart from agreeing, Shen Jingran could only agree, the child missed his mother, and she was forced to act as a substitute stepmother, but the careful Shen Jingran felt that this mother thought so suddenly!
☆, 44|04.10
It is not difficult to tell stories, and it is not difficult to coax children. The problem is that it is really difficult to coax a big baby.Shen Jingran was very awkward, she had never raised a child before, so it was unnatural to do such a thing, but Lin Qiutong was very natural, patted the bedside, with an innocent face, and asked, "Do you want to lie down and talk?"
Shen Jingran shook his head, Lin Qiutong sincerely recommended it, and said, "My bed is very soft and comfortable." Is she going to advertise for bed sellers?Lin Qiutong was so old, so he couldn't tell children's stories, so he picked a book that both of them liked.
"How about you listen to the radio?" After reading the story on the first day, Shen Jingran proposed on a whim. Lin Qiutong shook his head in protest, "The voices are different. I want to listen to you. It feels very real and has a lot of texture." Lin Qiutong Don't forget to put a high hat on Shen Jingran.
Shen Jingran had already expected this kind of thing. There was the first time, and there must be a second time. Almost every night at 10:30 was the time for Shen Jingran to recite.
I don’t know if it’s because Shen Jingran’s storytelling is really effective. Lin Qiutong will really fall asleep to her voice. At first, Shen Jingran still had a sense of accomplishment. Look, it’s easy to coax children!But there are always times when things don't follow the routine. Shen Jingran has something to do temporarily today, so she asked Lin Qiutong to go back to her room and wait, and she will go there when she is done.However, Shen Jingran entered Lin Qiutong's room half an hour later than usual. After entering, he found that Lin Qiutong was fast asleep, with a rosy mouth and a smile on his face. It must have been a sweet dream... The corners of Shen Jingran's mouth twitched , quit.
For several days in a row, Shen Jingran said at night that he had something to do and would be late, but every time he went in, the result was the same, Lin Qiutong had already fallen asleep.The two of them didn't criticize anyone, but when Lin Qiutong accused Shen Jingran of dereliction of duty for several nights, Shen Jingran said mercilessly: "You don't need to tell a story to fall asleep!"
Lin Qiutong twisted her crooked body aside, and said confidently, "I miss you and fell asleep, alas!"
"I'm a stepmother..."
"I'm thinking about stepmother..." Lin Qiutong suddenly turned his head and smiled brightly. The child was playing tricks again, and Shen Jingran said helplessly, "Your father doesn't think so."
"Hehe, I'm just joking, Shen Jingran." Lin Qiutong's eyes were shining brightly, Shen Jingran always felt that there was a piece of night sky deep in Lin Qiutong's eyes, and when he looked at her, he always looked a little deep.
At noon, Shen Jingran was busy past the lunch time. Kang Miao called to say that she was eating out, and she wanted to help bring the meal. Shen Jingran was hesitating when someone knocked on the door of her office, "Come in."
Lin Qiutong poked his head in, and blinked at her eagerly, with infinite longing in his eyes, Shen Jingran was amused, it was childish, "What's wrong?"
"Shen Jingran, I haven't had lunch yet." Lin Qiutong licked the corners of his lips, "I'm so hungry."
"Why didn't you eat?" Shen Jingran picked up her coat and bag and walked towards the door. Lin Qiutong reached for her bag to make it easier for Shen Jingran to put on her coat, and explained: "I don't want to eat myself."
Do people isolate Lin Qiutong, or does Lin Qiutong not fit in?It doesn't seem to be the case. Shen Jingran saw someone writing praises for Lin Qiutong in the company's guest book more than once.
"Can I eat with you in the future?" Lin Qiutong followed beside Shen Jingran, "It happens that you eat late, and I don't want to eat with them either."
"Isn't it good to eat with them?" Shen Jingran stretched out his hand, motioning for Lin Qiutong to give her the bag, but Lin Qiutong acted as if he hadn't seen it, and said distressedly, "They always eat fast food." I eat all kinds of fast food, and I will hurt if I eat too much, "Hehe, maybe they don't like to eat with me either."
Shen Jingran thought to himself: You still have this awareness.The two went straight to the coffee shop opposite, "Give me the bag."
"I'll carry the bag for you, you treat the guests, Mr. Shen." Lin Qiutong pretended to be serious, and Shen Jingran smiled helplessly, "Okay."
Shen Jingran did not agree to Lin Qiutong's request to have lunch together. After all, their relationship was already delicate, and Shen Jingran was fine, but considering Lin Qiutong's future development, she still set a certain boundary so that no one would gossip about Lin Qiutong.
Even though he was so careful, there were still gossips in Shen Jingran's ears, saying that Lin Qiutong and Shen Jingran had an unusual relationship.As for why it is unusual, there are many examples, saying that the two go to work together, eat lunch together, and leave work together... They are really inseparable.
"I heard that Lin Qiutong's background is very hard, and Shen is always his mother."
"It's the stepmother, okay?"
"How is that possible? Mr. Shen's husband's surname is Guan?"
"Who knows, but it still feels weird."
"Is there something between them?"
"That's what..."
The fact that Shen Jingran is Lin Qiutong's stepmother is kept secret, but it seems that it cannot be concealed at all.Some people know it, some people don't know it, so the rumors are messy.Shen Jingran asked Lin Qiutong, "Have you ever told your company colleagues that I am your stepmother?"
"No." Of course Lin Qiutong also heard those gossips, she didn't care, unexpectedly, Shen Jingran would suspect that it was her who said it.
"Let's go separately in the future, don't have lunch together." After thinking about it, Shen Jingran said, Lin Qiutong couldn't stand Lin Qiutong looking for her again and again, and it happened that she didn't have lunch, so they went together.Obviously there were only a few times, but the rumors said that they ate together every day, which was not conducive to Lin Qiutong's ascension. Some people would definitely say that Lin Qiutong came up by virtue of his relationship.Shen Jingran never asked Lin Qiutong about work on the face, but in private he would ask the heads of various departments, and Lin Qiutong who had never been in the sales department had more positive comments than negative ones.
"Shen Jingran, do you care?" Lin Qiutong didn't understand Shen Jingran's intentions, "Why do you care so much about what other people say?"
"I think you can consider buying a car." Shen Jingran ignored Lin Qiutong's words, his expression looked a little indifferent, "Let your father help you choose." Shen Jingran didn't want to delay the divorce process because of Lin Qiutong's study.
Shen Jingran's attitude made Lin Qiutong a little angry, but he was even more angry with those who spread rumors, what if we go to work together and eat together!I'm jealous when I don't have that opportunity.
Even if Shen Jingran repeated orders, Lin Qiutong would still come to look for her, and the timing was so precise every time, it was because she came back from a meeting to adjust her breath and was hungry... It was the same today, "No, you should eat earlier in the future, too. Don't miss lunch time all the time." Shen Jingran felt that he shouldn't agree to this matter from the very beginning.
"Then don't you want to eat?" Lin Qiutong didn't give up, Shen Jingran lowered his head to look through the information, and said, "Let Kang Miao order the food then." It's strange to say that every time Lin Qiutong came to look for her, Kang Miao didn't seem to be there, really Coincidence enough.
"So..." Lin Qiutong said in a low voice. She stood at the door without moving for a long time. When Shen Jingran looked up, he just saw Lin Qiutong's deflated and disappointed look, and his heart softened a little. "How about ordering an extra lunch for you? You go out after eating here."
"I still don't want it anymore, I won't eat it." Lin Qiutong moved his hand while touching the doorknob, and finally turned around to leave. Shen Jingran immediately stopped her, "Qiutong!"
☆, 45|04.10
Lin Qiutong didn't eat breakfast, and he didn't eat lunch. Sooner or later, his stomach would be starved. Shen Jingran knew how uncomfortable the stomachache was, so he said to Lin Qiutong, "Come in."
"Why don't you eat well?" Shen Jingran also stood up and talked face to face with Lin Qiutong. Shen Jingran was almost as tall as Lin Qiutong in high heels.
"I just want to have lunch with you, why can't this work?" Lin Qiutong was aggrieved, "Since you are so afraid of gossip, why bother whether I eat or not."
Children are good, they can do whatever they want, Shen Jingran said jokingly: "I'm doing it for your own good!"
"For my own good, just go out to eat with me. I know you hate eating boxed lunches, and I don't like it either." Lin Qiutong lifted his head from his lowered position, with a serious expression on his face.Shen Jingran was taken aback for a moment, but Lin Qiutong was quite careful, looking at the time, she was indeed hungry at the moment, let's pamper her again.
During the meal, Shen Jingran wanted to talk to Lin Qiutong about her thoughts, saying that the purpose of keeping a distance was not to obliterate her personal ability because of their relationship.Unfortunately, after speaking, Lin Qiutong's complexion did not improve.Shen Jingran felt that she was talking in vain, she rarely talked openly with others like this, after working for a long time, she was used to being euphemistic.
"Then why are you willing to eat well?" Shen Jingran put down his chopsticks and asked, it's impossible to go around in circles with Lin Qiutong, and it's impossible to reason, okay, Shen Jingran backed down.Lin Qiutong didn't care about other people's opinions at all, but she cared about Shen Jingran's opinions. Now the rumors from people around her made Shen Jingran uncomfortable, and she couldn't be happy either.The commute to and from get off work together has been cancelled, and Guan Sicheng is also helping to choose the car. It is estimated that Shen Jingran and Guan Sicheng have communicated. Could it be that the only lunch meeting is gone?Lin Qiutong didn't want to eat at the moment, and was so depressed that he wanted to eat people.Who is spreading rumors!Even if you spread rumors, can you create some emotional scandals!Why do you keep talking about work?I really don't understand her heart, Lin Qiutong will die of joy if there is a relationship scandal!
Ever since she found out that Lin Qiutong resigned to work in Jingjing Group, Su Xiu's attitude changed 180 degrees, from a bitter wife to a caring big sister.At noon, Lin Qiutong and Shen Jingran returned to the company after lunch. Lin Qiutong chatted with Su Xiu on QQ, and the topic involuntarily came to Shen Jingran.
Lin Qiutong: Xiu'er, tell me, are the people in the company bored? Shen Jingran dare not have dinner with me because of the trouble. I'm so depressed, but Shen Jingran is right.
It can be said that there is no secret between Lin Qiutong and Su Xiu. If Lin Qiutong wants to confide, Su Xiu must be the No. 1 pick.
Su Xiu: Poor little Tongtong, don't pay attention to those people, they are just envious and jealous.
This is normal. Shen Jingran's charm index in the company is top-notch. Although he has a friendly side, his high and inviolable iceberg index is not low. Therefore, most people have longing for the queen and think that the queen So noble, it should be enshrined on it.But one day, a person broke their illusion, and Lin Qiutong actually walked so close to the queen, commuting to get off work, eating... So, everyone's brain cells became active, and the results of guesses were also various.
Lin Qiutong: I don't bother to care about them, you know I'm not the kind of person who will change myself because of what other people say, but Shen Jingran seems to mind very much, and said that it's for me, and I don't even have time for lunch with her .
Su Xiu actually wondered that Lin Qiutong would tell her about Shen Jingran so bluntly. Did this idiot forget what she said before?She said she hated Shen Jingran!Now this is not disgusting, even Su Xiu can read a different flavor from it, so, is Lin Qiutong pouring out his little troubles about chasing people?
In this case, Su Xiu naturally wanted to stand by her friend, but...Su Xiu hesitated again, the goddess is Lin Qiutong's stepmother!How could she have forgotten this, so Su Xiu, who originally wanted to help Lin Qiutong, stopped talking.
Lin Qiutong: Xiu'er, aren't you very resourceful?Tell me, what should I do, I don't want to give up my only lunch time.
Su Xiu: Do you really want to have lunch with the goddess so much?Have you thought about the reason?
Su Xiu was very worried that Lin Qiutong would be stuck in it and couldn't extricate herself. Maybe, as a friend, she should wake Lin Qiutong up, and let her see what a rebellious thing she was doing.
Lin Qiutong: There is no reason. I have observed that Shen Jingran seldom eats lunch normally. Sometimes she will directly skip the meal during meetings. Even if she does not skip ordering a box lunch for her, she still eats very little.Her stomach is also bad. I think someone eating with her will make her form a good habit, that is, she must eat lunch. Since she wants to eat, why can't she go out and eat well?
Lin Qiutong: People don't live for work, not for making money. It's fine if they don't eat for other reasons. Why can't they even cherish themselves because of work and money?I really don't know why some people don't love themselves.
There is deep pity and heartache in these words, the goddess is working so hard, although she looks so handsome!But what Qiu Tong said makes sense!It turned out that Qiu Tong had this in mind. Since it's not love, then she can make a move, right?
Su Xiu: Xiao Tongtong, isn't your cooking skill the best in the world?If you don't play now, when will you wait?Cook every day, every meal is nutritious, and you can eat it together, saving time, delicious and healthy!
"Shen Jingran, I will cook from now on and bring it here every day, if you don't mind we can eat together." When getting off work, Lin Qiutong came to report, Shen Jingran hadn't looked up yet, Lin Qiutong had already gone out.Shen Jingran looked at his watch, it happened to be off work time, for the first time, this child walked so punctually, even if she refused to go off work together in the past, Lin Qiutong still insisted on going off work at the same time with her, the two of them would walk through the office together, take the elevator together, and walk out of the hall , then one to the left and one to the right.This child didn't give her a choice at all, what if she minded?
However, today, I'm going to be alone, Shen Jingran looked out of the window with his hand on his chin, the setting sun was slanting, and the day passed like this.Day after day, year after year, people, in a hurry, what is it for?
After returning home, Shen Jingran realized that Lin Qiutong had returned to another home. Is this kid for real?Do you really want to bring a meal?Guan Sicheng just came out of the room, saw Shen Jingran concentrating, and said in surprise: "You came back early today."
"Oh, I'm a little tired, um, I came back early." Shen Jingran recovered.
"Thank you, Jingran, how is Tongtong studying recently?" Guan Sicheng could see the tiredness on Shen Jingran's face, and he felt pity in his heart.
"She has a strong learning ability and can master it quickly. If she is rotated, she will miss the sales department. After a period of internship in the sales department, I will take her personally." Shen Jingran smiled and reminded: "I hope you don't forget our agreement."
The pity that rose was instantly stifled, Guan Sicheng's face became ugly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, a little cold, and said: "As long as Tongtong personally says that she has learned it, I will naturally abide by the agreement."
Guan Sicheng's obsessive words made Shen Jingran a little suspicious. The next day, after the meeting, Shen Jingran asked Lin Qiutong to come to her office.Lin Qiutong followed her happily with a small grin, Shen Jingran turned around and was about to speak when he caught a glimpse of the child's unconcealable smile, couldn't help but also laughed and asked, "What's so good about being so happy?"
☆, 46|04.10
"Ah! It's nothing, cough cough." Lin Qiutong pursed her lips and scratched her head, as if embarrassed.Shen Jingran shook her head, she should not guess what a child is thinking.
After entering the office, Shen Jingran sat down and pointed to the chair, "You can sit too." After Lin Qiutong sat down, Shen Jingran began to say: "I heard the evaluations of you from various departments are very fair, and I will go to the sales department from today. Come on, if you have any comments or suggestions, you can say it."
"No."
"Well, that is, you have learned the theoretical knowledge of each department?"
"Let's be so-so."
"I want an accurate answer." Shen Jingran has always been serious in her work, but the so-so and perfunctory answer made her frown. Lin Qiutong understood the meaning and said instead: "I have learned it." Originally, theory is not difficult, Even if there are difficulties, they will only be encountered during practice.
"Okay, I hope you can keep it until the day I finish taking you, can you say in front of anyone, I, Lin Qiutong, can do it?" Shen Jingran did this because of uncertainty in his heart, so he said in advance drill.
"Yes." Lin Qiutong is very well-behaved, and Shen Jingran has high hopes for her, so she will not disappoint Shen Jingran, but Lin Qiutong didn't think about what Shen Jingran's purpose was for saying this.In Lin Qiutong's heart, there is a law, Shen Jingran can't be disappointed, she can't be sad, within her ability, she wants to give Shen Jingran the best.
At lunch time, Shen Jingran got busy and forgot to eat lunch. He was stuck in the sofa chair and talked on the phone with his back to the door. While talking, he could smell the fragrance, um, I was a little hungry.Shen Jingran caressed his lower abdomen and turned the chair, still saying that I gave you all my drawings. I didn't know when Lin Qiutong came in before, with a few lunch boxes in one hand, which contained hot meals, and the other Carrying... a plate?The speed of Shen Jingran's speech slowed down unconsciously, Lin Qiutong shook the bag in his hand, raised his graceful chin, pointed to the restaurant and walked in.
"Uh... well, we'll talk about this matter later, I tell you, don't change my design without authorization, my home is of course to be pretended to be what I like, okay, okay, every time I talk to you , I can’t go down for an hour.” Shen Jingran said to Liu Xi on the phone speechlessly, “You’re so embarrassed to be hungry, my lunch time was delayed by you.”
In response to Liu Xi's invitation to lunch, Shen Jingran stood up and looked into the restaurant through the glass window with his mobile phone.
