Relying on one's own hair

Qiao Ran was relieved when he successfully registered the card at 5 seconds to six.

Anna, the little girl at the front desk opened her mouth into an O shape and looked out of the glass door. At this moment, she exclaimed with her eyes shining brightly: "Oh, you sell cakes! Joe, when did you get a boyfriend? He's so handsome and cool. Already!"

Qiao Ran also looked out the door. The off-road vehicle had already driven away, leaving only a cloud of rolling yellow sand behind. He turned around and said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "He's not my boyfriend, he's my landlord, because my foot hurt a little bit." It was inconvenient, so he drove me to the company."

Moreover, this car was not for nothing, it cost him 18 points.

Anna couldn't believe it, "No way, is there such a good and handsome landlord in the world? Why haven't I met one before."

Qiao Ran was a little unconvinced: "My tenant is not bad."

"Okay, you are a handsome guy, and he is a big handsome guy." Anna glanced at him and said perfunctorily, "Joe, does your landlord have a boyfriend or girlfriend?"

"I think should not be."

Anyway, after more than ten days since Fan Lundin moved here, Qiao Ran never saw anyone he brought back, or who he often talked to on the phone.That guy doesn't go out to work, but only occasionally goes to the supermarket to buy something and go for a run or something, he can be called an otaku among otaku.

Seeing that Anna was about to cheer with excitement, Qiao Ran hastily added: "But he is a sentinel, and his level is relatively high."

As soon as these words came out, Anna was immediately discouraged, "Forget it."

Everyone understands that a sentinel is a half-human, half-animal creature, and only a matching guide can tame them. It is better for ordinary people to stay away from them, otherwise they will have an indeterminate time, bombs, and bombs beside them, even sleeping. They couldn't sleep well.

Therefore, even if Anna thinks that Qiao Ran's landlord is handsome and cool, she doesn't dare to risk her life, she just appreciates it from a distance.

The little girl looked at Qiao Ran with regret and admiration, "It's the first time I found out that you are quite brave, and you dared to rent the house of the sentinel."

Qiao Ran also felt that it was not easy for her to live without incident until now, "Yeah, I think so too."

Spotting a supervisor approaching the front desk, Qiao Ran said, "I'm off to work."

"Go, go." Anna also sat upright immediately.

Because her right foot still hurts, Qiao Ran was very careful when driving to deliver food today.Fortunately, the distance from Xinxinmei to the nursing home is all wasteland, and few people pass by, so there will be no problem if the speed is slower.

After arriving at the kitchen of the nursing home, Dick quickly found that Qiao Ran's foot was injured, so he asked him to sit and rest next to him, and moved the vegetables by himself. After finishing, he volunteered to say, "Joe, wait for me when you get off work." In a while, I'll find someone to borrow a car to take you home."

Qiao Ran refused without even thinking about it: "No need, you will have to bother others if you borrow the car and return it. I'll find a car myself and sit faster."

Dick had no choice but to say, "Okay then. When I get promoted and get a raise, and buy a car next year, I can take you home every day."

Qiao Ran said casually, "That's not bad, come on."

Dick clenched his fist, "Yeah!"

When it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, when Qiao Ran was hesitating whether to call an online car-hailing car, "A Mao's father" sent a message: "Do you want to pick it up?"

Qiao Ran's eyes lit up, she pointed her finger, and replied in seconds: "Yes!"

How this guy treats him so well all of a sudden is simply flattering.Well, I guess I'm too busy at home and want to find something to do.

Anyway, the price of taking a taxi is about the same as taking a van Lundin, but the latter is highly skilled and has a spacious and comfortable compartment, which is of course more cost-effective.

Qiao Ran couldn't help but want to give the sentry more points.

[Qiao Ran: Come to the south gate of our company later, there are fewer people here. 】

The south gate is a special gate for the freight department, and ordinary employees will not enter and exit through it, and there are few people encountered.Otherwise, if other colleagues saw that Van Lundin drove to pick him up, they would have to explain for a long time like Anna did in the morning, which would be too troublesome.

【Amao's father: Got it. 】

After agreeing, Qiao Ran put the phone aside and continued working.

As soon as four o'clock arrived, the phone rang again.

【Amao's father: I'm here. 】

Qiao Ran was a little surprised, and he was too punctual. If this guy were to become an online car-hailing driver, he would definitely be very popular.

[Qiao Ran: Okay, come out right away! 】

After packing up his things, Qiao Ran was about to leave when Buck, the department manager, came in with a pile of documents, glanced at him and said, "Where are you going?"

Qiao Ran said inwardly that something was wrong, and said, "It's time for me to get off work, and I'm going home."

"It's still early. You don't have to go shopping with your girlfriend or pick up your kids from school. What are you doing when you go back?" Buck took it for granted. "This is the vehicle dispatch data from last month. You can collect it and enter it into the system."

Qiao Ran couldn't refute, so he had to take the pile of documents, and after Buck left, he sent a message to Valentine sadly: "Sorry, I have to work overtime again, and it will probably be finished at six or seven o'clock."

The reply came quickly.

[Amao's dad: What the hell company, you can't change jobs? 】

Dissatisfaction was evident in his tone, and Qiao Ran could fully imagine the contemptuous look on the other side's frowning face.

[Qiao Ran: For what?This job is actually okay. 】

Apart from having to work overtime from time to time without overtime pay, and that the boss and boss are not very friendly to the employees, this job is indeed okay for Qiao Ran.If he didn't do this, he couldn't think of anything more suitable for him.

After 1 minute, Fan Lundin still hadn't replied, Qiao Ran thought he must have left because of his lack of enthusiasm, smiled wryly, put away his phone and started working overtime.

Two and a half hours later, when the sky was getting dark, Qiao Ran finally finished recording all the data, got up and stretched his aching shoulders.

If he hadn't gained mental power and his mind was a little brighter than before, he definitely wouldn't be able to finish it in three hours.

Thomas came back from the garage whistling, saw Joe and said a little strangely: "Joe, why haven't you left yet?"

Qiao Ran rubbed her swollen forehead and said, "I just finished working overtime."

Thomas understood, and raised his middle finger in the direction of Buck's office where the surveillance cameras couldn't see, and said in a low voice, "It's really inhumane to make you work overtime when your foot is injured."

Qiao Ran said helplessly, "I'm not seriously injured, and I don't need to use my feet to record data."

"You really know how to calculate." Thomas put his shoulders on his shoulders and walked out slowly, "It happens that I'm off work too, why don't you go for a drink?"

Qiao Ran immediately shook her head, "I won't drink anymore. I don't drink too much, and I'll feel uncomfortable if I drink too much. And I'm moving tonight."

Last time I was drunk and had hallucinations. Fortunately, I didn't go crazy with alcohol in front of Hall, otherwise I would be embarrassing.

"Moving? Where?"

"It's right next door to me."

"That's quite convenient. I'll go to your house someday when I'm free."

"Uh, I'm afraid it's inconvenient. I share the rent with someone else."

If Qiao Ran lived alone, Thomas was of course welcome to come as a guest, but he lived in Valentine's house, so he couldn't decide for himself.

And with that sentinel's temper, he probably wouldn't give a good face to the stranger's arrival.

While talking, the two came out from the south gate, and Thomas stopped suddenly while walking, and asked a little nervously, "Joe, look at that man over there, is he staring at me?"

Qiao Ran followed his line of sight and saw a familiar off-road vehicle parked ten meters away.Although it was getting dark, the owner of the car was still wearing sunglasses, looking coldly in this direction from the car window, with his thin lips pursed into a straight line, as if holding a knife horizontally.

The big white lion was lying on the rear window, with the same expression as its owner, as if it was about to jump out and bite someone in the next moment.

Qiao Ran felt flustered for a moment, "He must be staring at me."

It was a surprise to have waited two or three hours for Valentin, who was still there.

No one would be too happy waiting for someone to wait so long, let alone an impatient sentinel, so he could understand that Van Lundin would be angry with him.

Thomas didn't know what was going on, but he always felt that the man in the car who didn't look easy to mess with was coming for him. He withdrew his hand from Qiao Ran's shoulder in a panic, and whispered, "That guy doesn't look like a good person, Should I call the security guard?"

Qiao Ran hurriedly said, "No need, he's my neighbor next door. He came to pick me up from get off work. He's either a bad guy, or he just has a bad temper."

Thomas was surprised: "That guy is the sentry you mentioned?"

"Yes."

"It's terrible. Living with this kind of person will shorten my life by ten years!"

As soon as Thomas finished speaking, the sentry in the off-road vehicle said grimly: "Have you finished?"

Qiao Ran immediately said: "It's over!"

Then said to Thomas: "I'll go first, bye."

Thomas was not at ease, "Call me if there is anything, or call the police directly, you know."

"understood!"

After Qiao Ran finished speaking, she raised her right foot and quickly jumped to the passenger seat of the off-road vehicle with her left foot, opened the door and got on the car.

Thomas clearly and unmistakably saw the sentry in the off-road vehicle staring at him again from behind his dark glasses before turning away, and he shivered involuntarily.

Sure enough, that guy was staring at him just now!

But what are you doing staring at him without any injustice? What a lunatic!

……

The speed of the off-road vehicle was much slower than in the morning, and the car was very quiet, only the low sound of the engine running.

Valentine stared ahead, the corners of his mouth grimly drawn.

Qiao Ran was sitting in the co-driver's seat, wanting to alleviate the low air pressure in the car, first sent a red envelope of 18 o'clock to the sentry on the mobile phone, and then apologized: "I'm sorry for making you wait so long , I thought you had already gone back."

Valentine didn't say a word, and his hand on the steering wheel was very strong.

Qiao Ran curled her lips inwardly. Are the sentries all inflatable people? They are too angry. As for it?I didn't send a message outside for such a long time, and I didn't make him wait on purpose.

I was going to give this guy extra points, but now it seems that I don't need it.

The lion in the back seat raised its two front paws and pawed on the back of Qiao Ran's seat, as if it wanted to come up and rub him against him. Seeing the owner's face, he backed away hesitantly.

Forget it, for Amao's sake.

Qiao Ran decided to continue to give in. Just as he was about to say something nice to coax Amao's father, the off-road vehicle drove through a bunker, and the vehicle flew on flat ground for a short distance. When it landed, the vehicle body bumped.Qiao Ran bounced up and down on the seat, and the back of his right foot slammed against the car door, causing him to let out a low cry of pain.

"what happened?"

The sentinel immediately turned his head.

Qiao Ran's heart brightened, it seemed that this guy was not as indifferent as he looked, but still had a little human touch.Although the foot only hurt a little when it was knocked on, he didn't feel anything after a while, he still took a breath and said deliberately: "The foot hurts."

"I'll take you to the hospital." Van Lundin immediately turned the steering wheel and drove in another direction.

Qiao Ran hurriedly said: "No need, there is actually no big problem, and it should be fine tomorrow."

Frowning under the sunglasses, Valentine said bluntly, "Are you a three-year-old? You cry when you see a needle."

Here it comes again... Qiao Ran was so choked that he had to let the sentry go to prove that he was not a three-year-old child.
