It was still daytime in the United States. Shangguan Jingyi was on a caravan heading to the destination of the project, where he would discuss and finance the project. He took the time to call Enron Xu.
It was 10 o'clock at night in China, and Xu Anyi was still thinking about the official scene, but she didn't expect the two of them to have the same thought.
"Still awake?" Shangguan Jingyi asked.
As Xu Ran laid down on the bed, he put his phone to his face and smiled happily, "You're going to sleep. How are things over there? Is everything still going smoothly?"
"En!" Shangguan Jingyi replied. He didn't expect her to care about him, so he felt warm inside. Xu Ran's words were even more refreshing than the cup of black coffee in his hand.
"What are you busy with today? Is he reading in his room or is he accompanying his grandfather in the courtyard? " These were the two things Xu Ran used to kill time when she wasn't working.
"Yes, all of them." Xu Ran was startled for a moment. Subconsciously, Xu Ran didn't want to report to the authorities that he and Xiao Hui had gone shopping. Furthermore, they had even met with Tan Qiuxu. Fortunately, Jing Yi didn't ask any more questions. Xu Ran just blurrily slipped past him like that.
"Take good care of yourself and go to bed early. Tomorrow, you have to go to work. You need to have a good mental state, do you understand?" Shangguan Jingyi said.
"Mhm mhm, you too. Don't be too tired."
After hanging up, Xu Ran placed the phone against her chest for a while. She felt as if something had barged into her chest, and it continued to beat intensely without any signs of stopping.
So it turned out that he had always been thinking about her.
When the phone rang again, Xu Ran had already fallen asleep. Seeing the words' Director 'on the screen, Xu Ran's hands trembled. It must be something urgent that Tan Qiu had called him so late at night.
"Director …"
"Xu Ran has come to work!"
In the middle of the night, Xu Ran felt Tan Qiu's urge to kill him.
Xu Ran rubbed her sleepy eyes. Her voice still had a bit of a drowsy tone as she said, "Where's the car this late at night?"
Tan Qiuxu was also home by then. He grabbed the keys on the tea table with his coat on and walked out. Obviously, there was an urgent patient, and the patient was in a very serious condition.
"I'll be at your house in ten minutes. I'll take you there!" As Tan Qiu Xu said this, before Xu Ran could agree on what to do, the phone rang.
Xu Ran looked at the screen of her cell phone and didn't dare to slack off. She quickly got up from the bed, changed her clothes, went to the first floor to greet Housekeeper Zhang, then ran outside.
Tan Qiuxu's car was already outside the door, with the lights on, it was rather dazzling. As soon as Xu Ran got on the car, the car shot out like an arrow released from a bow.
Xu Ran was still in a dazed state.
What was going on? Being taken to work by the director, was that proof that he was still being led by Tan Qiuxu?
Tan Qiu drove without blinking, obviously not intending to pay any attention to Xu Ran. Xu Ran's questions lingered in her mind for a long time, but she did not dare to open her mouth. Firstly, she was afraid that she would distract Tan Qiuxu who was driving, and secondly, she wasn't sure that Tan Qiu would answer her questions.
"What do you want to ask?" The thousand-year-old iceberg spoke. Against Xu Ran's expectations, the words that were previously organized in his mind suddenly turned into ashes. Xu Ran's brain froze for a few seconds.
Ask him what? Will he be following him in the future instead of Dr. Cui? Wasn't this a bit too straightforward?
With a sharp turn, Xu Ran was shaken until he was dizzy.
"Director, can I always follow you in the future?" Xu Ran also wanted to extend her head, so she also did it with a knife. It would be better to ask for a clear answer. Otherwise, she would not know whether she would be following Doctor Cui or Director Tan.
"Humph!" Tan Qiuxu snorted coldly.
Xu Ran could not help but feel embarrassed. What was the meaning of this? Was he looking down on her?
"Didn't you also say that changing teachers in private would cause a bloodbath in ancient times?" Xu Ran added.
Tan Qiu paused, then said, "What a coincidence."
Xu Ran was completely confused by his words.
"Dr. Cui was sent to the Faculty of Medicine to study in the UK the day before yesterday, so you don't have a mentor's guidance at the moment."
So, Tan Qiuxu was helping her? Pity her, a hapless intern without a mentor.
No matter how dumb Xu Ran was, she understood the logic of taking advantage of the situation. Tan Qiuxu's words were already very obvious.
"Director Tan, you're so busy. You'll need an intern to pour you some tea. You brought me before, so take me. Thank you so much for taking me." Xu Ran barely managed to hold onto Tan Qiuxu's sleeve as she swayed back and forth.
Tan Qiu didn't expect Xu Ran's ability to act like a spoiled child to be at the top.
His thick eyebrows shot up. He took the time to glance at Xu Ran and asked, "Is this how you usually speak to Shangguan Jingyi?"
Xu Ran froze. These words … What do you mean? His face immediately turned red. Speak properly, what do you want me to do?
