In fact, at the banquet last night, Qin Man was still not drunk.It was later that I continued with an acquaintance who had worked with me before and drank two more glasses.

The other party was an elder, so it was not easy for Qin Man to refuse a toast, and it was even more impossible to ask an assistant to help top the wine, so he drank too much.

During the break in the middle of the meeting, Qin Man pondered for a moment: "Liu Chen."

Liu Chen looked up from the document: "You said it."

"When I was drunk before, were you there?"

"Most of the entertainment is here."

"How am I doing?"

This question was too jumpy, Liu Chen couldn't react at first: "...huh?"

Turning his head, he saw Qin Man waiting for his answer with a serious face.

"Hmm... nothing special." Liu Chen thought about it and said, "It's very quiet, and I often fall asleep when I get in the car."

Qin Man asked: "Did you hug people indiscriminately?"

"No."

"Did you not mess with your relatives?"

"No!" Liu Chen said hurriedly, "It's just that I occasionally say something meaningless, and the rest is nothing."

Qin Man was silent.

Are those pictures in his mind all dreams?

He took out his phone and opened the dialog between him and Ji Ran.The panda emoticon he sent in the morning is still at the end, and until now, the other party has not replied to him a single word.

Just as I was about to send another sentence, a phone call came in.

He got up and went to another place to pick it up: "Mom, what's the matter?"

"Xiaoman..." Mother Qin said in a strange tone, "Are you busy?"

"No, what's the matter."

Qin's mother spent this morning in anxiety: "Is Xiao Ran by your side?"

"Mom, tell me what you have to say."

"...Did you already know about Ji Ran's relationship with Qianqiong?" Mother Qin asked.

Sure enough, this is the case.Qin Man narrowed his eyes: "Yes."

"Are you okay?!" Mother Qin was furious, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Qin's mother never liked to listen to gossip, and the friends around her were all easy-going and friendly. She had only heard about the conflicts in the Ji family, but she really didn't know the details, let alone that Ji Ran was the member of the Ji family. illegitimate child.

There are so many people with the surname Ji, how could it be such a coincidence?

If Qin's father hadn't recognized and confirmed it and told her the matter, she might not know what trouble she had unintentionally caused by now.

"You didn't tell me that you would invite her to your house."

"I was also on a whim. I heard that she had returned to China, so it was just a temporary..." Mother Qin rubbed her brows, and it was useless to say anything now, "The two of them went out alone that day, shouldn't they be arguing? Did Xiao Ran what to tell you?"

The more she said, the more guilty she felt, "I'd better call him."

It's even more embarrassing to bring this up again.

"No need." Qin Man interrupted her, "He's fine, he hasn't been affected, just don't make random arrangements in the future."

"...I still need you to tell me!" Mother Qin scolded, and finally asked uneasy, "Are you really all right?"

"It's okay, don't worry." Qin Man raised his hand and glanced at his watch, "What is the flight date for you and Dad?"

"The ticket has been cancelled. Your dad and I are going to visit Hainan. Do you want to go together?"

"No, you just have to have fun."

Hearing Qin Man say it's okay, she finally felt relieved, and then she said, "I saw your photo in the circle of friends this morning. It's really beautiful. When it's free, our family of three will also take a picture." Family portrait."

Qin Man raised his eyebrows: "What photo?"

"Qingqingfa's photo, the one where grandpa is holding you, haven't you seen it?" Mother Qin said, "I also saw that Xiao Ran liked the photo."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Man opened WeChat, found the friend request that had been put on hold all night, and clicked to approve.

As soon as she entered Qingqing's circle of friends, she saw the photo labeled "Family Portrait", and there was a like from Ji Ran.

Looking at his position in the photo, he had a headache.

This can't be blamed on Qingqing, after all, he was almost in the shot of the family's family portrait yesterday.

The meeting break time has passed, he looked through the glass window at the employees who had returned to their respective positions in the room, so he hurriedly sent a message to Ji Ran, explained the photo, and then turned back to the room.

The meeting continued intermittently until the afternoon.

"That's it for today. Go back and make preparations. Next Monday, pack up your things and move into the office building, and your respective positions will be assigned. There will be no meetings for the next few days, so take a good rest." Qin Man closed the document and said.

The employees all breathed a sigh of relief.

Meetings are already a very strenuous task that requires a high degree of concentration. These days, the boss's house is used as a meeting room, which makes people even more nervous.

They even suspected that the boss did it on purpose—whose house would set aside a conference room?Even the furnishings and decorations are exactly the same as those in the conference room!

Moreover, Qin Man's "home" was very empty. Except for the bedroom, there were few furniture and no human taste at all. Many places were bare land, and it could not be seen that he was living there.

"It's hard work. I will pay you three times the salary during this time." Qin Man said.

There was only one sentence between the gloom and the elation.

Seeing the eyes of the employees lit up, Qin Man laughed, and continued, "I'm treating guests tonight, you can discuss a restaurant."

A few minutes ago, employees were thinking about "what it means to go to work."

Now this question has been thrown out of the blue.

Let them discuss the place of the dinner lively, Qin Man took out his mobile phone and glanced at it.

After a whole day, I haven't received a single reply from my ex-boyfriend.On the contrary, Qingqing, who passed through a few hours ago, sent him seven or eight messages.

He frowned displeased.

Why is this elementary school boy so cruel, he drank like that, didn't care about it, didn't say a word, and didn't even reply to his news?

It was the same in the morning, leaving him alone at home.

Qin Man lowered his eyes, and the resentment disappeared after seeing the ring on his hand.

Knowing that Qin Man is generous, the employees all go to expensive and delicious restaurants.During the short time he was in a trance, they had already negotiated the hotel to go to.

"That store is good, but you have to queue up. It is said that you have to reserve a seat and dishes that morning, and the store will come back with fresh goods. Now that it's all ordered, you probably won't be able to get a seat..."

"Which store?" Qin Man recovered and asked.

Employees announce a store name.

Qin Man pondered for a moment, then picked up his mobile phone and made a call. He was talking with the owner of the restaurant.After a while, he turned his head and asked: "If you want to go, you can only choose the dishes they bought today. Is it acceptable?"

After a few minutes, the location is fixed.

The employees looked at each other tacitly, and their expressions conveyed a sentence-it's nice to have money.

After helping them solve the problem in the restaurant, Qin Man got up and wanted to leave.

"Boss Qin, why don't you go with us?" the most daring member of the staff said.

Qin Man paused: "Me?"

Worried that his presence would make others feel constrained, he had few meals with the staff.

"Yes, our company will be established soon, would you like to celebrate with us?"

"Yeah, let's go together boss, we may not be able to eat well in the next period of time." Another person joked.

When it comes to this point, Qin Man has no choice but to agree.

He glanced at the empty screen saver of his mobile phone, and nodded, "Go ahead first, and I'll come right after I change my clothes."

After all the employees had left, Qin Man went downstairs with his mobile phone in hand, and went straight to the opposite house.

He would like to see if Ji Ran is doing something important so that he doesn't reply to his messages for a whole day.

As a result, he rang the doorbell for a few minutes in front of the iron gate, but no one answered inside.

go out?

After waiting outside the door for a few more minutes, Qin Man pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, and turned back to his home.

When he came out again, he had a post-it note and a pen in his hand.

Under the shocked and suspicious eyes of the passing residents, Qin Man posted the written post-it notes on the gate of Ji Ran's house one by one.

-

The store arranged for them the largest box in the store, which usually does not accept reservations, and is specially used by the restaurant owner to receive friends.

Although a group of white-collar workers are used to seeing big scenes, the old-fashioned box layout and exquisite dishes still made them unable to resist taking out their mobile phones and taking many photos in succession.

Originally, they were still concerned about Qin Man, but when they found out that the boss didn't care at all, the filming became even more enjoyable.

Seeing Qin Man looking down at his phone for the seventh time, Liu Chen couldn't help but whispered: "Boss Qin, if you're in a hurry, how about I send you back first?"

"No, I'm fine." Qin Man responded lightly, raising his chopsticks.

The employees talked about getting married and having children. Everyone drank some wine and spoke recklessly.

"Isn't Boss Qin also in love?"

"Boss Qin is someone you can talk to!"

"There's nothing we can't talk about." Qin Man smiled, "We're talking, but we've been arguing recently. It's hard to coax."

Unexpectedly, he would respond, and they had more questions.

Qin Man's head got dizzy when asked, he smiled and got up: "You eat, I'll go to the bathroom."

Coming out of the box, Qin Man was slightly relieved.

Working with this group of people for so long, this is the first time I know that they are so gossip, the female employees are fine, and the male employees also have curious faces.

However, this kind of cognition is also a bit novel. Qin Man doesn't find it annoying, but rather relaxed.

He came out not to go to the bathroom, but to get some air.He rested on the mahogany balcony for a while before turning back to the private room.

The restaurant is designed in an antique style with a long corridor.

At the corner, the waiter brushed past him, opened the cloth door of the box on his right, and there was a conversation inside.

"I was sick and didn't participate in that competition, otherwise maybe who will win the prize."

"Then don't think about it, it must still be me." There was a familiar smile in the man's sloppy voice, and he caught Qin Man's footsteps.

"What about the competition? Forget it, you haven't practiced for so long, I won't be honored if I win. After all, I ran well in that race, like No.5?"

"The fifth is not bad, don't take the opportunity to laugh at me."

Qin Man turned his head and saw clearly the people in the private room.

The person he had been looking for for a day was sitting side by side with He Suiran at this moment, with a relaxed and casual expression, talking and laughing happily with the strange face opposite him.

The atmosphere among the three was harmonious and they talked happily.

Due to the material problem, the private rooms are not soundproof, so each private room is separated by a certain distance.Qin Man was standing in front of the door and could clearly hear their conversation.

"Let you waste an air ticket, I will reimburse you for the air ticket to Italy tomorrow." Ji Ran said.

"No, I'm willing to stay and talk to you, and it doesn't count on you." The man raised his glass.

Ji Ran picked up the cup and touched him: "What's the point of being polite to your future boss?"

He Suiran also toasted, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I did it all, I will reimburse you, is it done?"

Under the light, Qin Man could see clearly that Ji Ran's fingers were empty, nothing.

Ji Ran took a sip and put down his cup. Seeing that the door of the private room was still open, he subconsciously glanced out.

All I saw was the waiter who was coming in with the dishes, and a back figure striding away.

"Ji Ran, what are you looking at?" Chen Qi called him.

Ji Ran didn't turn his head until the figure disappeared at the end of the corridor.

"……nothing."

Is he drinking too much?

Why did he feel that the back just now looked very like Qin Man.
