gentle reunion

Zhao Hong shook his head: "No. He suspects that there may be an extremely intimate relationship between you and Xiang Xiang."

Xu Zan was speechless: "He suspects that Xiang Xiang and I are sleeping together? No wonder you suddenly went crazy that day and said that you want to introduce a girlfriend to Xiang Xiang to test me, right?"

Zhao Hong was also very helpless: "There is no way, he told me to figure out this problem."

Xu Zan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, suddenly, his expression changed, and he looked at Zhao Hong with interest: "He didn't expect him to lure wolves into the house, right? Now Xiang Xiang surrounds you every day, have you told him about it?"

Zhao Hong: "..."

Xu Zan smiled and said, "Not yet? Tell me quickly and report earlier, at least it's not your responsibility."

Zhao Hong: "... Xiang Xiang didn't do anything."

Xu Zan: "When he does something, it will be too late."

Zhao Hong: "He doesn't answer my calls now, I don't think he will come to me again in the future."

Xu Zan thought, this is not necessarily the case.

He didn't say much, and continued to ask himself what he cared more about: "Why did Yue Zhi look for you yesterday?"

Zhao Hong: "Isn't Xiang Xiang looking into Yazhou's affairs for you? You said that someone went to Yazhou to inquire about your affairs."

Xu Zan sighed: "Yue Zhi knew about it, and then he suspected that Xiang Xiang and I were having an affair?"

Zhao Hong pushed down his glasses: "He mainly asked what kind of trouble you caused, and I told him about Sun Zhe."

Xu Zan: "What did he say?"

Zhao Hong shook his head: "I didn't say anything."

Xu Zan: "You guys have been chatting for a long time, isn't it enough for me to talk for so long?"

"He wants to talk, but I can only listen." Zhao Hong thought for a moment and said, "He said that when he was a child, his father liked to take him to the countryside to experience life, planting seedlings and harvesting rice, which was very hard work and very fulfilling."

"..." Xu Zan was stunned, "Why did he tell you this?"

Zhao Hong: "You should pay more attention to the current affairs in Mingcheng. He is called a reformer. He should not be satisfied with this title. He feels that he is also a down-to-earth man of action."

Xu Zan laughed: "You are amazing, you can still see this kind of thing."

Zhao Hong said in a low voice: "Isn't the top leader going to retire? He should want to fight for succession. It is obvious that he is under a lot of pressure now."

Xu Zan nodded slightly, remembering that the last time he saw Yue Zhi in Fuyun Temple, he was watching his own news—outside of the world of mortals, his heart was still in the world of mortals.

This pressure is great enough, and it is estimated that meditation practice has no effect on him.

Zhao Hong also said: "Next week's innovative enterprise conference, he will also attend and deliver an important speech. He explained to me the importance of innovative enterprises in detail, I don't know if those words will appear in his speech. "

Xu Zan first laughed, then sighed: "I also have a speech, and the manuscript hasn't been written yet."

Zhao Hong: "I think he just wants to make sure that everything is normal and there are no mistakes. After the position of the top leader is determined who will succeed him, he should not be so nervous as he is now."

"Yeah." Xu Zan imagined the two situations of Yue Zhi being in the position and not being in the position, and felt that neither would affect himself, nor would it even affect Xiang Xiang.

Among them, only Yue Zhi himself understands the joys and sorrows.

In the evening, Xu Zan racked his brains to write a speech at Lan Tianran's house.

He asked the copywriter to write one for him, but he thought it was not good, so he decided to rewrite it himself.

Lan Tianran sat opposite Xu Zan, he chose the wrong seat, sitting within Xu Zan's field of vision, he always had the illusion that Xu Zan was looking at him, which made it difficult for him to concentrate.

Finally, he left the desk and went to sit on the sofa.

After a while, Xu Zan called him: "Naturally, can you help me take a look?"

Lan Tianran walked over.

Xu Zan got up and offered to give him his seat.

"Sit down." Lan Tianran pushed another chair over.

Lan Tianran looked at the documents on the notebook, and Xu Zan looked at him with his chin resting.

The two were very close.

Lan Tianran couldn't read anymore, so he said, "Let's take a break first, do you want to drink?"

"Okay."

The two left the study and went to the wine cellar. Lan Tianran asked, "Do you drink cocktails?"

Xu Zan: "Drink, I pretended to be a bartender for a while at the bar. Do you have any bartending tools? I'll make you a few drinks."

Lan Tianran: Why is it different from what he expected.

It's like a male bird trying to show off his beautiful feathers to his partner, but the other party preempted him.

Xu Zan: "I think you will like fruit cocktails, try this one today, and try others later."

Half an hour later, Lan Tianran was sitting by the large cooking table in the kitchen, watching Xu Zan, who was opposite, busy with work.

The reason why he didn’t stay in the wine cellar but came to the kitchen was because Xu Zan said that the cocktail he wanted to mix needed a lot of other ingredients: fruit, juice, syrup and so on.

Xu Zan: "The cocktail is an iced drink made with spirits as the base and various auxiliary materials. Let's make a cup of peach first."

Cut peaches into pieces, put them in a cup, add lemon juice and cube sugar——

Xu Zan said: "It's better to put some mint leaves, but if you don't have them in the refrigerator, then don't put them."

Lan Tianran got up: "There are in the garden, I'll pick them."

"go together."

The two came to the back garden and turned on the lights in the garden. The little flying insects were startled by the lights and flew towards the light source.

Lan Tianran walked to the front right: "Mint should be over there."

Xu Zan followed behind him, feeling that the two of them were a bit like two children who didn't sleep well at night and sneaked out to play.

Lan Tianran brought Xu Zan to a clump of green leaves: "Is this mint?"

"Let me see." Xu Zan pulled a leaf off, sniffed it, tore off another piece with his teeth, and handed the rest to Lan Tianran's mouth, "Would you like to taste it?"

Lan Tianran bites the broken leaf. It tastes like a vegetable leaf, but it has a very refreshing feeling.

Xu Zan lowered his head, like picking tea leaves, evenly picked a large handful of mint leaves and held them in his hands.

"Let's go back to the house. There are too many bugs outside at night. If you stay for a long time, you will be bitten out of your body."

Wash the mint leaves, put them into the previous cup that has several ingredients in it, then add various base wines to the cup one by one with a wine measurer, then use a pestle to mash the ingredients in the cup, and then continue to add to the cup All kinds of wine, then add a lot of crushed ice, and finally fill it with sparkling water, and then stir it evenly with a bar spoon.

Xu Zan pushed the finished product to Lan Tianran.

"Light pink." Lan Tianran said looking at the cocktail.

Xu Zan: "Peaches are just this color. If you add some peach juice, the color will be more obvious. This wine looks like fruit juice, but it actually has a high alcohol content. Just take a sip and don't drink too much."

Lan Tianran took a sip, it was sweet, with a fruity aroma and a refreshing taste.

"It's delicious." He took another sip, and then another.

Xu Zan stretched out his hand: "Naturally, give me a drink."

Lan Tianran handed him the cup.

Xu Zan took the cup and drank the rest of the drink in one gulp.

"..." Lan Tianran looked at him as if he couldn't react.

Xu Zan comforted him with a smile: "I'll make another adjustment for you, you can eat some fruit first."

He put the leftover peaches from the glass of wine just now on a plate and pushed them to Lan Tianran.

Afterwards, Xu Zan mixed several other cocktails.

Lan Tianran thinks it's delicious, but before he can drink more, Xu Zan will reach out to him, and then Xu Zan will drink all the rest of the wine.

It also indirectly achieved the purpose of Lan Tianran's original proposal to drink.

"Why did you work as a bartender?" Lan Tianran asked.

After drinking, the two returned to the study, but instead of going to work, they sat on the sofa and chatted.

The two sat on the same couch, very close to each other, but Lan Tianran wasn't too nervous because Xu Zan drank and he drank too.

Xu Zan was a little confused, and Lan Tianran himself was a little flustered.

"I opened a bar before. When I opened the first one, the bartender was suddenly poached one day, and I had to replace it for a while." Xu Zan sank into the sofa and smiled at Lan Tianran, "It was so exciting back then. , taking on multiple jobs during the day and night, it seems that you don’t need to sleep.”

Lan Tianran: "It said on the Internet that you used to have a bar street?"

"Exaggerated, there are several partners, and I'm just one of them." Xu Zan looked at Lan Tianran with a half-drooped eyelid and a fuzzy smile.

Lan Tianran felt that he was really drunk, so he whispered, "If you're sleepy, just sleep for a while."

Xu Zan obediently closed his eyes.

After a while, Xu Zan adjusted his posture, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

Lan Tianran got up, looked down at Xu Zan for a while, then reached out to stroke his hair, and then touched his face—just a light touch with his fingertips.

Lan Tianran felt his mood swings. It turned out that when Xu Zan fell asleep, even if there was physical contact, he would not be too nervous, but the symptoms of body fluttering became more serious, probably because he drank too much tonight.

Suddenly, Xu Zan moved slightly.

Lan Tianran's hand trembled, he quickly retracted it, and quickly left the sofa.

Xu Zan just changed his posture - no, he moved because he was so tickled by Lan Tianran's too gentle touch.

After a while, Xu Zan's eyes opened slightly, and he saw Lan Tianran sitting at the desk and looking at the laptop, probably reading the speech for him.

Xu Zan recalled and thought, did Lan Tianran touch his face just now?

Why do you do this?

It's not easy to judge the meaning, a touch is not a kiss after all.

He should hold back, maybe Lan Tianran will have more and more definite actions.

On the other side of the city, in a high-rise residence, Sun Zhe watched dramas with He Wenyu while multitasking in his own affairs.

He was checking Xu Zan's news on his mobile phone.

Since appearing on TV, Xu Zan's image has become more and more positive, more and more people praise him, and he is getting better and better.

He was good, but Sun Zhe was not. Jealousy gnawed at his heart, making him feel so uncomfortable that he wanted to go crazy.

At this time, He Wenyu laughed, she was amused by the TV.

Her laughter attracted Sun Zhe, making him turn his attention to the drama that was playing on the LCD TV.

After washing his eyes with a soap opera for a while, Sun Zhe looked at his phone again.

Instead of searching for Xu Zan's news, he sent a message to Wang Ting's bodyguard, asking him how Wang Ting was doing.

While waiting for a reply, the phone rang suddenly, and it was Wang Ting's bodyguard who called - he didn't like the communication method of sending messages.

Sun Zhe left the living room and went to the study to answer the phone.

The bodyguard said: "It's nothing, just his cousin came to see him once before, and that person's name is a bit strange, it seems to be called Lan, what Lan?"

As soon as he heard the word "blue", Sun Zhe knew it was Lan Tianran.

Lan Tianran should have received the same task as him: take care of the royal court.

My mission was issued by Wang Ting's father, and Lan Tianran's mission was probably issued by Wang Ting's mother.

Wang Ting's mother was a simple housewife, Sun Zhe remembered that she was very kind to Lan Tianran, Wang Ting even complained to him, his mother definitely hoped that Lan Tianran was her son.

The bodyguard added: "Wang Shao has a new object of pursuit, a little star named Kong Xingchen."

"Kong Xichen?" Sun Zhe automatically corrected the bodyguard's typo, and at the same time asked vigilantly, "How did Wang Ting know him?"

He was alert because the name Kong Xichen was associated with Xu Zan to him.

He used people around Xu Zan to plot against him, maybe Xu Zan would do the same thing?

Bodyguard: "I met you at the party."

Sun Zhe: "Pay more attention to this Kong Xichen. If there is any situation between Wang Ting and him, please tell me immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Sun Zhe went back to the living room to find He Wenyu: "Give me the phone number of the boss of the consulting company last time."

He Wenyu looked up: "Okay, who else do you want to check?"

Sun Zhe: "Check to see if Kong Xichen is related to Xu Zan."

"Wow, are you going to break their news?"

Matters related to celebrities can always arouse people's greater interest, and He Wenyu is no exception.
