lark

Lin Nan got out of the car with a flushed face holding the flower box, and stopped beside Zhang Hong when he reached the corridor door, looked at him uncomfortablely and said, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long... Thank you for sending Qi, Qi, go home."

Zhang Hong glanced at him strangely, seeing that he didn't dare to lift his eyelids, he suddenly understood, and nodded slightly to him, as a response.

Before Qi Yubai looked away from Lin Nanjin's back, Zhang Hong opened the car door and sat in.

He didn't sit down directly, but opened the car door, paused, entered tentatively, and then sat firmly on the driver's seat.

Seeing his strange movements, Qi Yubai frowned slightly: "What are you doing?"

Zhang Hong said with a half-smile, "It's okay, I just think the air in the car is quite fresh."

Qi Yubai clicked his tongue lowly, and said, "You've become more and more outrageous recently."

The sunroof closed and the engine hummed.

As Zhang Hong drove the car out of the community along the narrow road, he glanced at the boss in a good mood in the rearview mirror with a smile on his face. He didn't feel guilty, and instead wanted to get promoted and raise his salary, he asked, "What's wrong with me?"

"You have become self-assertive." Qi Yubai raised his eyelids and looked sharply at the person in front of him, "When did I ask you to tell Lin Nan more. I will naturally say what should be said, why do you need to do anything extra? "

Zhang Hong smiled and shook his head with a helpless expression.

"You didn't?" Qi Yubai asked back.It seems to be saying that you actually have a day when you tell lies to me.

"No." Zhang Hong smiled for a few seconds, and then he recovered his expression after laughing enough, and said slowly: "I was thinking, the old saying is true, outsiders should not intervene in a couple's quarrel. Obviously I count it as a merit, Why is it that once we reconcile, I will be the first one to be held accountable? Mr. Qi, I didn't say a word of your bad words, and I didn't even say a word about your baby. I just laid the groundwork for you, why? It is self-assessment and superfluous, I am really wronged."

What Qi Yubai said made Qi Yubai couldn't help laughing, and with a long-lost smile on his iceberg-like face, he asked, "Who told you that we are reconciled, Lin Nan?"

Zhang Hong shook his head again.

"No one told me, but I'm still deaf. Lin Nan was crying and laughing in the car, and then called you Mr. Qi back in front of me. If I can't see the clue again, how can I be worthy of being Mr. Qi's partner?" secret."

Qi Yubai deliberately ignored the two key words "crying and laughing" and "Mr. Qi", and said softly, "When did the sound insulation of this car get so bad?"

Zhang Hong paused, and almost stepped on the brakes.

"The skylight is Mr. Qi, which I just closed."

Qi Yubai's expression froze, he was speechless by the teasing eyes he looked at from the rearview mirror, so he simply kept silent and didn't give him a chance to tease him.The two of them tacitly agreed, one was driving seriously in the front, and the other was thinking about everything tonight with a smile on his back.

The evening breeze is as gentle as cotton, passing between the front and rear windows of the car, intentionally or unintentionally brushing the faces of the two people in the car, making people relax, but not disturbing people's thoughts.

I don't know if he squinted in the car for a while at night, since Qi Yubai started receiving treatment, he hasn't felt so energetic for a long time.Things about the company, things about the family, things about Lin Nan, he needs to think about all kinds of things, and there are many things waiting for him to choose.

Repairing the relationship with Lin Nan is an extremely effective booster for him. Even if Ben Yun's crisis has not passed, he already has enough confidence to face various possible outcomes.

But Ben Yun must not fall down.

Of course, this company cannot be compared with Qi's. Qi's has been in Y City for three generations, and the government relations are intricate. From a retail tycoon to retail and new retail, professional managers have taken over for many years. It has long been a mature business empire. .On the other hand, Benyun is just a film investment company.Relying on his own connections and skills, Ben Yun, who has grown rapidly in the past few years, can only be regarded as a cutting-edge media at best. Even if he has more say in today's film industry, if there is no sufficient capital flow, he will be on the road to overthrow at any time.

But no matter what, Ben Yun is his hard work and sustenance.

There is a huge disparity in height and strength, and there are differences in strength and weakness. If you want to save Ben Yun from the fire and water, he alone will not be able to do it.That's why he thought of teaming up with Fang Qiran, it's like saving blood from the blood bank, it's the fastest way.Every movie released is a big gamble. As long as you grit your teeth and survive the current crisis, a movie that succeeds at the box office is enough to turn around.

Thinking of this, he asked Zhang Hong: "Has Fang Qiran contacted you recently?"

Zhang Hong pondered for a moment, and said, "I contacted you the day before yesterday and said that the funds are in the process. Let's send back the third-draft agreement according to their revised opinions."

Qi Yubai frowned slightly: "It's all a standard agreement, what can I change?"

"Now we are begging them." Zhang Hong said in a low voice, "I told the legal affairs officer that as long as it is not too much, let them do it, and try to satisfy the other party as soon as possible."

Qi Yubai turned his head in surprise, looking at the tall trees and short grass that were rapidly receding outside the glass, feeling faintly uneasy in his heart, but this feeling was fleeting and difficult to capture accurately.

"Did anyone follow us when we came out of the company?" he asked.

Zhang Hong paused, and said with certainty: "No."

-

When Lin Nan entered the house, the first thing he did was to send a message to Qi Yubai.

"I'm home, please let me know when Mr. Qi arrives."

Putting down the phone, I feel so bored again.It is estimated that Qi Yubai also felt speechless. It took only a few steps from downstairs to upstairs, and he had to inform him when he got home. It really didn't give him a moment of peace.

But Lin Nan couldn't control himself.Qi Yubai was like a drug, once he got on it, he couldn't let it go.He spent several months to quit, not only failed, but became more and more dependent.

The area of ​​the new home is larger than before, but it is still a structure of one bedroom and one living room.It was Lin Nan's own idea that an extra bedroom would be a waste, and it would be more difficult to clean.

The weather has completely turned warm. He came out of the bedroom after taking a shower and just put on a long-sleeved T-shirt casually. He wiped his hair with a towel and looked at his mobile phone. As soon as he opened his eyes, they opened wide - Qi Yubai gave him a quarter of an hour ago. He made a video call.

This time was no small matter, Lin Nan hurriedly sat on the bed and turned on the desk lamp, ran his fingers through his wet hair a few times, and then called Qi Yubai back.

A burst of pleasant music sounded, looking at his face on the screen, Lin Nan felt nervous for no reason.

It's not that he's worthless, it's because this is the first time Qi Yubai made a video call to him, even though he is calling back now.

After waiting for a very long time, the music suddenly stopped with a thud.

No one heard.

Lin Nan was taken aback, holding up his phone at a loss.

Busy?

It has been four or 10 minutes since I arrived home, and it is common sense to calculate that Qi Yubai should be home, otherwise he would not have called him.

He sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, glanced at the current time, hesitated for a while and decided to try again.

Prepared in his heart that there was still no answer, Lin Nan was much calmer this time, but just a few seconds later, the phone was connected without warning.

In the blink of an eye, a strange girl's face suddenly appeared on the screen, and Lin Nan was immediately stunned.

"Hey."

A slightly soft voice came from the phone.

The girl has a beautiful melon-seeded face, clean and without makeup, a fluffy white and pink hair band on her head, neatly permed eyelashes, and a slender neck with no wrinkles at all. A diamond-cut collarbone chain, with a section of pale pink nightdress collar peeking out, was clearly about to go to bed.

Seeing this scene, Lin Nan's head felt like being hit by lightning, his heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively hung up the phone just by saying "I'm sorry".

"Hey wait—" the girl's crisp voice stopped him, "You are... Lin Nan?"

Lin Nan paused, and saw the girl on the screen looking at him with a smile, not seeming to have any malicious intentions.He didn't have time to flee, so he could only temporarily suppress his doubts and whisper, "I am."

"Ahem!" The girl cleared her throat with a low smile, and turned her head to look around in the next second, with a guilty expression on her face.

The phone tilted a few times with her movements, and it seemed to be in a certain bedroom.Lin Nan caught a glimpse of the horse-shaped trophy on the table, and immediately guessed that this was Qi Yubai's bedroom, and his heart sank in vain.

She turned around again, and asked with a smile in the corner of her eyes: "What do you want from me, my Mr. Qi?"

My Mr. Qi?

Lin Nan's body trembled, and he suddenly raised his head to look at the beautiful woman in her early twenties on the screen. In an instant, countless thoughts flashed across her face, and her face was full of astonishment. on his phone?"

"Well..." the girl said intentionally, and she dragged the end of her voice to make a fool of herself, "Why should I tell you? Unless you tell me why you called him first."

"I—" Lin Nan just wanted to ask back, but seeing that the other party was a girl, and he never uttered bad words, he endured the pain in his heart and forced himself to calm down: "I have something to do with Mr. Qi."

The girl's bright eyes rolled, and she looked very agile. She asked playfully, "What's the matter at this late hour? Could you be..." She paused intentionally, "Good friends."

Lin Nanxin raised it when he heard the first half of the sentence, and put it down abruptly at the last few words. Then he felt sour in his throat, and after a few seconds of silence, he asked, "Who the hell are you, and why are you holding Mr. Qi's cell phone?"

At this moment, his tone had become cold unconsciously, and his expression must have been very ugly.

"Are you angry?" The girl tilted her head, looked at his expression with both eyes, and burst out laughing, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, I'm just kidding with you, if you get angry, he will take my car away." It cannot be taken back."

Confused by her attitude, Lin Nan sat on the edge of the bed with his mobile phone in one hand and the sheet under him with the other, and asked slowly, "You and Mr. Qi, you..."

"what are you doing?"

Suddenly, a voice came from far away on the phone.

The girl was obviously taken aback by this man who fell from the sky. She almost dropped the phone with an "ah" sound. She turned her head and looked in an unknown direction before throwing the phone away. She vaguely heard her shout, "Why did you come in and there was no sound at all?" .

The mobile phone was lost somewhere, and the front of the camera was gray.

Lin Nan held up his mobile phone in a daze, only to hear a few footsteps coming from over there, followed by that familiar deep voice: "Who are you talking to?"

Lin Nan couldn't hear the subsequent conversation clearly.

Looking at the blurry picture in front of him, he didn't know whether he should hang up the phone or continue listening.He was curious, but also afraid of hearing words that would make him unbearable.

Before he could make a decision, someone picked up the phone, and Qi Yubai appeared on the screen wrapped in a bathrobe.

The hair on the top of the head of the person in front of him was still wet, two drops of water remained on his chin, and his cheeks were smooth, as if he had been shaved.He was still suave and handsome, but he looked more like a lion with his nails trimmed, without his usual aggressiveness.

"Lin Nan?" Qi Yubai obviously didn't expect that the person on the other end of the phone was Lin Nan, "Why are you chatting with Xiao Can, do you know each other?"

Lin Nan heard him call so affectionately, and there was no gap in his heart in an instant. How could he remember that he had heard this name once, and shook his head with lowered eyes, "I don't know her."

"You don't know her what to talk to her about."

"I..." Lin Nan's speech faltered, he looked up at Qi Yubai's indifferent expression, and then lowered his eyes: "She took your mobile phone and said...and said that you are her President Qi, so I thought she was your friend."

When he said the last two words, the sheets under his hands became tighter and tighter, and his fingertips turned slightly white.

"Her Boss Qi?" Qi Yu raised her eyebrows, "Is that what she said?"

Lin Nan pursed his lips and nodded.

"It seems that she doesn't want her birthday present anymore." Qi Yubai said flatly.

After saying this sentence, he took a leisurely look at Lin Nan's expression for a full ten seconds before finally letting go of the anxious man.

"She is my cousin, her name is Ou Can. She has been living in my house for the past two days, eating and drinking, and she is used to messing around lawlessly."

Lin Nan was taken aback immediately: "Cousin?"

"Well, she knows you."

"Know me?" Lin Nan stared at him blankly, "How could she know me?"

The camera turned backwards, Qi Yubai got up and closed the door of the room, sat back at the table again, put the phone on the shelf, and then said: "I told her that you are the one who doesn't get paid and very Obedient new secretary."

With just such a reminder, Lin Nan instantly remembered the conversation between Qi Yubai and his aunt that he had been listening to, his cheeks blushed, and the next second he started talking nonsense: "Oh, does she live in your room?"

"Ok?"

"No, no!" Lin Nan swung his left hand desperately, "I mean, she lives in the room next to you?"

"She lives on the second floor." Qi Yubai looked at him amusedly, "Here to get the tablet. Why are you panicking?"

"I'm not panicking..." Lin Nan denied in a low voice.

"The sweat is coming out and you still say no?" Qi Yubai raised his eyebrows.

When Lin Nan heard this, he quickly lowered his head and touched his face with his sleeve, only to feel that it was really hot. After a few seconds, he raised his head and said softly, "I forgot to open the window."

Qi Yubai stared at him, paused for a while before saying: "I still have something to do, I called you just now to let you know that I'm here."

"Yeah." Lin Nanzheng felt a little embarrassed, and responded softly, "Then I won't bother you, you go to bed early, remember to dry your hair."

The two stared at each other for a few more seconds. Lin Nan thought that he should hang up sensibly, so he said good night to Qi Yubai and planned to press the button to end the call.

Unexpectedly, Qi Yubai said in the next second, "Lin Nan."

"Huh?" Lin Nan hurriedly raised his phone and looked at him.

"Don't believe everything others say."

Hearing this, Lin Nan felt that Qi Yubai was right, and nodded in annoyance.

After a pause of two seconds, he added in a low voice: "I am not someone else's."

Then hung up the phone.

The quiet room is quiet, and the warm lights are dim.Lin Nan stared blankly at the chat box between the two of them for a moment, and couldn't help but want to ask him, "Then whose are you from?", but dared not.He put down the phone, and put his left hand against his heart. The thing under his palm was beating rapidly under his chest, without any rules at all, and it was about to pop out of his body like a rabbit in almost a second.
