After the stand-in resigned

He said he wanted to chase someone, but Ling Ran couldn't think of how to chase him for a while.

When encountering difficulties in business affairs, she would mostly turn to the company's think tank for help, but when encountering problems in private affairs, Ling Ran found that she had no choice but Li Xi.

Ling Ran called Li Xi to the office.

Ling Ran is currently working in Jiangcheng, and she still lives in the presidential suite of her own hotel. There is a room in the suite, with a desk, a bookcase, and a lounge, barely functioning as an office.

Naturally, this cannot be compared with the office at Ruiting headquarters.

But Li Xi thinks that this office is much better than the cold office in the headquarters.

Probably the headquarters office always leaves her with a shadow, and a new place always means a new beginning.

It's just that the new beginning didn't seem to bring a fresh feeling, and Ling Ran's words made Li Xi start to tremble.

Ling Ran asked, "Do you think An Fan likes me?"

In the past, especially when the two of them just broke up, a question that Li Xi was answering almost every day could have such great power, which was something she never expected.

Li Xi calmed down as quickly as possible, sorted out the stakes, and asked tentatively, "Why do you ask that?"

"Just say you like it or not?"

Li Xi replied: "Of course I like it."

"Since she likes it, why is she treating me like this now?" Ling Ran asked again, with puzzlement in her tone.

Li Xi had a feeling that "it's finally here".

Ling Ran didn't ask An Fan if she liked her again, probably because she thought she got an answer she liked, but the person she liked didn't take any action to like it, so asking such a question was meaningless.

At that time, Li Xi was thinking about when Ling Ran would ask this question, but he did not expect that this day has passed to today.

She said the answer she had thought about a long time ago: "Although Miss An likes it, you have been too busy all this time, and you have given too little response to Miss An, which made Miss An mistakenly think that you don't care about her. You are sensitive and suspicious when you like someone. Since she didn't give Miss An a definite answer, Miss An probably got scared and didn't dare to take the initiative."

In fact, as an assistant, it is very taboo to answer general terms such as "estimated" and "maybe" in front of the boss, but Li Xi feels that she will die even worse if such questions do not contain general terms.

This answer is almost the same as Ling Ran's own guess. An Fan broke up with her back then and said something similar to "You can't like me, I'm too tired".

Ling Ran was eager to try: "What do you think of me chasing her?"

"What." Li Xi wasn't sure if she heard it wrong.

It is also taboo to ask the boss to say a sentence twice, but Ling Ran patiently repeated it: "I said to chase her."

Although Li Xi wanted to know what caused Ling Ran's change, it was really not something she should know. She could only think of the result: as long as Ling Ran and An Fan reconciled, whether it was her lies or the Everything you have done can be forgiven.

"Very good!" Li Xi said quickly, and added: "Very good for you to chase Miss An."

Ling Ran naturally knew that this was good, she said, "Tell me how I can chase after you."

It turns out that the focus is here.

Li Xi fell into thought for a moment.

Although Li Xi was used by Ling Ran as an all-round assistant, she has never done chasing people before. She can only think of the person chasing her, and try to make suggestions based on Ling Ran's current situation: "You can send Miss An some first." small gift."

"A gift?" Ling Ran asked.

"Yes..." Li Xi said, "But I don't want to sign it. I need to choose some representative gifts, the kind of small gifts that remind Miss An of you, but I'm not sure if it's yours."

"How should I say it?" Ling Ran became interested.

Li Xi replied: "Miss An is still in the stage of loving and fearing you, rashly confessing to you is likely to be counterproductive, and a few tickling teasing like this can not only highlight your presence in Miss An's life, but also make you more attractive. Miss An thinks of you from time to time."

"Especially..." Li Xi added: "Giving gifts can also test Miss Tan'an's attitude, and when the time is right, it will be convenient for the next step."

Ling Ran was moved by Li Xi, and really thought the idea of ​​giving a gift was a good idea, she asked with great trust, "What do you think is a good gift?"

Li Xi thought for a while: "Did she like the vinyl record I gave Miss An last Christmas?"

"Yes, she likes it." Ling Ran instantly had the fighting spirit.

Ling Ran tried hard to recall the people or things that An Fan had mentioned to her that she admired, made a list, handed it to Li Xi and said, "Just give me gifts according to this list!"

"Yes." Li Xi quickly responded.

The gift has been delivered for almost a month.

It should have been longer, but Ling Ran thought about the bet she made with Chen Qing, and the pain of not seeing An Fan for a month, she couldn't sit still, she was going to find An Fan tonight Confession.

Ling Ran was actually not very clear about An Fan's attitude towards her at this time.

But the only good news is that every time An Fan sent a gift, An Fan didn't refuse it, and she accepted it.

Ling Ran sent someone to search the trash cans and recycle bins near An Fan's house, but found no gift or remains of the gift. This only means that An Fan accepted the gift from her.

Receiving a gift is a good sign.

Ling Ran thought that she knew An Fan well. If An Fan resisted her, she would not even accept the gift. Ling Ran felt that accepting the gift was a sign of An Fan's acceptance of her, and it was time to act.

The time for action was Saturday night.

This is also the first day of Lu Yun's business trip.

Ling Ran has a little friendship with the boss of the company where Lu Yun is currently working. She made a phone call and sent Lu Yun to go on a business trip for two days without any problem at all.

Ling Ran was never afraid of anything, but she was inexplicably afraid that Lu Yun would be present when she confessed.

Lu Yun's impression of her was really biased. If after she finished confessing, Lu Yun instigated An Fan to make her confession fail, it would be more harm than good.

Therefore, Lu Yun must not be present, which is also part of the action plan.

Ling Ran has always been used to planning and preparing well before starting to act.

For this confession, she came to Anfan's door with a safe heart.

The doorbell rings.

Ling Ran was a little nervous.

She hadn't tasted the feeling of nervousness for a long time, and she was at a loss for a while, but before she could get rid of the nervousness, the door opened from the inside, and An Fan appeared in front of her.

Ling Ran couldn't remember being nervous anymore.

After not seeing her for nearly a month, Ling Ran felt that she looked good again, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, delicate lips and nose, and she couldn't take her eyes away.

An Fan only said calmly, "You're here." Then she took two steps back, motioning for her to come in.

Ling Ran was dazed by this belated initiative, she quickly collected her emotions, and followed An Fan into the house.

In a few seconds, she had already made a mental preset.

It turned out that An Fan was also waiting for her!

The gift was not given for nothing for a month, and this kind of teasing method that seemed like nothing really made Anfan miss her again. Anfan's attitude towards her now is completely different from the time when he wanted to drive her away a month ago.

It seems that today's confession is pretty sure, Ling Ran thought happily.

An Fan went straight to the bedroom, even though Ling Ran wanted to enter her bedroom too, but she started to damage the key part of her plan, so she stopped An Fan and said: "Don't you ask me why I came today ?"

An Fan turned his head and showed a puzzled expression at the right time.

Ling Ran took a step forward, less than half a step away from An Fan, and she said sincerely, "I'm here to confess my love."

The nervousness resurfaced in her heart, but Ling Ran couldn't take care of it anymore, she said, "Anfan, I found that I like you a little bit."

After the words fell, the room fell into a deathly silence.

An Fan suddenly smiled.

The laughter pierced through the peaceful curtain of the room like a sharp knife, and the dark surge surged up.

Ling Ran was stunned.

In Ling Ran's imagination, An Fan would also smile after she confessed, but it was a happy smile, a relieved smile, not a mocking, cold smile like this.

An Fan said, "Are you sure you really like me?"

Ling Ran shivered and began to panic.

This panic was actually very inexplicable, after all, she was only facing An Fan, and she asked, "Why do you say that?"

An Fan didn't answer directly, but said: "I've been struggling with whether you like me or not, but this month, when you gave me a gift, I figured it out."

Her voice was very firm, and her expression was unusually cold: "It doesn't matter whether you like me or not, even if you really like me, you still like the me who plays the double. My sister is actually no different."

Ling Ran was almost dizzy, she quickly calmed down, and said: "Why, you are the one I like now, I admit that I was attracted to your sister at first, but gradually, the only person I always think of is you gone."

These words are actually very nasty, Ling Ran didn't intend to say them at first, but facing An Fan who felt so cold, she said it naturally, and she even wanted to say more, she really panicked.

The corners of An Fan's mouth raised, she was smiling, but her voice was bitter: "Then you often think of me who likes classical music?"

"Me in the white dress?"

"Long black hair?"

"Gentle personality, quiet smile, elegant demeanor, this is me, right?"

Ling Ran was taken aback by her enumeration, the image An Fan painted overlapped with the image of An Qingyi in her memory, and she was even dazed for a second, do I still like my sister?

"Look, you've also thought of it, this is my sister." An Fan said: "I'm a stand-in, I've been playing her all the time, even if you like me, you still like her as I played her."

Ling Ran wanted to say no, but she, who has always been quick-witted, choked up and said after a few seconds: "I'm sure I like you."

"Really?" An Fan was not happy, but asked instead: "Do you know what the real me looks like? Do you really understand me? I have always shown you another me, the one who tried my best to play the role of my sister. What's the difference between liking me like this and liking my sister?"

"It's different..." Ling Ran said, "No matter who you are, I like you."

An Fan smiled: "Do you still remember the Qishan Night Market? I'll take you to eat stinky tofu, fried fish balls, and spicy chicken wings. You say it's torture, but this is what I like..."

In Ling Ran's dumbfounded eyes, An Fan said: "In a western restaurant playing light music, eating steak with a knife and fork, drinking red wine and toasting with you and laughing gracefully, that's me acting as a stand-in."

Ling Ran was completely speechless.

But An Fan seemed to have been opened up and kept talking: "I took apart every gift you sent and looked at it, and every one of them was the one I liked who was acting as a stand-in. Are you sure you really like me?"

Seeing that Ling Ran didn't speak, An Fan smiled and said, "Take your gift away, don't come again in the future, that's it." An Fan turned and walked to her bedroom.

Ling Ran was in a hurry, and she was a little confused: "I really liked your sister at first, but gradually, I couldn't tell whether I liked her or you, but since I can confuse it, it means that I like you. Still kind of like you."

"A little bit?" An Fan doesn't like to pick words, but it's too hurtful for her to say such things in a white manner, An Fan smiled sadly and relieved: "I've been by your side for a few years, and in exchange you like it a little bit." Me, it seems that I am not waiting in vain."

Ling Ran regretted that she said such a thing, and said eagerly for forgiveness: "The first time I met your sister left me too deeply touched, I..." Ling Ran keenly felt that it was inappropriate to mention this in front of An Fan. I stopped in time, but my thoughts drifted to September 9 involuntarily.

The first time I met An Qingyi was four years ago, when she had just returned from studying abroad.

The original intention of returning from studying abroad was to study and inherit the family's company, which was also discussed early in the morning, but when it came to a critical moment, the group of board members objected to this matter on the grounds that "she is a woman, not enough to take on big responsibilities".

Although Ling's father, Ling Songting, has been dealing with it, it is difficult for one person to speak to several people, and the plan of Lingran's airborne company executives was shelved.

Ling Ran was arrogant at that time.

On the one hand, she felt that her abilities would not be compromised because of her gender, and on the other hand, she hated the gender stereotypes of the board members.

Several discussion conferences ended without a problem, and once again went to a meeting to discuss this matter, Ling Ran felt more tired than ever.

She even wanted to find a random branch company to practice for a few years first, and then use her performance to block the mouths of those people when the tricks came out.

The sun was very strong that day.

When passing by the city center, two master workers were painting in front of a large wall. The deep blue sea is very attractive in such hot weather. Ling Ran glanced over and saw a man with a high ponytail A girl in a white dress.

She stood taller than the two workers and masters, and she was fully sketching a giant whale looming in the sea but with a huge figure.

Her raised arms are thin, and her exposed calves are well-proportioned. Her whole body is baked in the hot sun, but she is full of vitality.

The iron frame she was stepping on was full of rust, and the seat belt tied around her waist was also simple and cheap, but it was this picture that made her feel that this person was extremely beautiful.

Ling Ran couldn't help but said to the driver, "Drive slowly."

The surrounding area was very quiet, so quiet that Ling Ran could occasionally hear the worker's master shouting to the girl at the top of his voice.

"Girl, are you okay?"

"I can do it!"

"Thanks to you today, otherwise we don't know how it will end!"

"You're welcome!"

The voice flew wantonly and stayed in Ling Ran's heart for a long time.

At that meeting, Ling Ran got herself a one-year probationary period, and when the probationary period ended, she took over the company as a matter of course.

Anfan asked inexplicably: "What touches you?" Reason told Anfan that he shouldn't spy at this time, after all, he had endured it for so many years, but emotion said that if he didn't ask at this time, he would never have a chance to ask again. She couldn't help it, She wanted to know what was wrong with her.

Ling Ran briefly mentioned this matter, and only said: "That day, in the sun, her wanton appearance attracted me very much."

An Fan didn't speak, and fell into a daze, his face was so dark that his talent seemed to have collapsed, Ling Ran was inexplicably afraid, and she added: "Maybe you think it's absurd, but I'm really touched by her appearance. Big, especially now that I know she's seriously ill."

Anfan's head was buzzing, his body began to tremble subconsciously, and he was speechless.

An Fan looked up at Ling Ran, and said with some emotion, "It was me you saw that day."

Ling Ran was stunned for a moment, and then there was overwhelming panic, she shook her head, very firmly: "Impossible."

Seeing Ling Ran's appearance, An Fan became calm instead. She restrained all kinds of emotions bursting from the bottom of her heart and said, "It's me."

"On that day, September 9th, the third year of high school was under too much pressure. I skipped class to go to the city center to watch a movie. When I passed the wall, I saw an uncle sitting on the steps and sighing. He said he had ruined the wall and didn't know how to end it. .”

An Fan said calmly: "I don't really like music. I was drawn when I was in elementary school. I helped them draw a huge whale, a whale snorkeling on the sea surface..."

Ling Ran seemed to be afraid that what An Fan said was true, so she hurriedly interrupted her and listed evidence to prove it: "Impossible, I asked your sister to prove it, and she admitted to me that what I saw that day was She, she is painting."

"You are at school, she is drawing..." Ling Ran murmured.

"Really?" An Fan asked back, and then started laughing. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she didn't cry, she just said, "That's the kind of person she is."

"My sister you have always liked, she is such a person."

Ling Ran's head thumped and completely collapsed.
