My Nemesis Has Finally Gone Bankrupt - Chapter 98
[Chapter 96]
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.”
“When I was drunk before, you were there, right?”
“Most of the entertainment, yes. ”
How am I doing?”
This question was too esoteric, Liu Chen couldn’t react at first: “…ah?”
Turning his head, he saw Qin Man waiting for his answer with a serious face.
“Hmm…nothing too special.” Liu Chen thought about it, “It’s very quiet, and I often fall asleep when I get in the car.”
Qin Man asked, “No hugging people?”
“No.”
“Nor relatives ”
No!” Liu Chen hurriedly said, “I just 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 responded to him with 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 before picking up: “Mom, what’s the matter?”
“Xiaoman…” Mother Qin said in a strange tone, “Are you busy?”
“No, what’s
the matter.” Mother Qin has been restless all morning During the middle: “Is Xiao Ran by your side?”
“Mom, you have something to say directly.”
“…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: “Yeah.”
“Are you okay?!” Qin’s mother 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 also easy-going. Friendly, she has only heard about the conflicts in the Ji family, but she really doesn’t know the details, let alone know that Ji Ran is the illegitimate child of the Ji family.
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 home.”
“I also had 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 were alone that day. We went out, shouldn’t there be a quarrel? Did Xiao Ran tell you anything?” The more she said
, the more she felt guilty, “I’d better call him.”
It would be even more embarrassing to mention this matter again.
“No need.” Qin Man interrupted her, “He’s fine, he hasn’t been affected by anything, just don’t make any messy arrangements in the future.”
“…you still need to tell me!” Mother Qin scolded, and finally asked worriedly , “Are you really okay?”
“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, and your dad and I plan to go to Hainan Go shopping, 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 in a mood: “I saw your post on Moments this morning. It’s a photo, it’s really beautiful. When it’s free, our family of three will also take a family portrait.”
Qin Man raised his eyebrows: “What photo?”
“Qing Qingfa’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 through.
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. You go back and make preparations. Next Monday, pack up and move into the office building, and your respective positions have been assigned. You don’t need to have meetings for a 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, and you can discuss a restaurant.” A
few minutes ago, the employees were still thinking about “the meaning of going 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 the location and dishes in the 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 came back to his senses 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 that acceptable?” A
few minutes later, the location is confirmed.
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 other people feel restrained, he didn’t have much dinner with the employees.
“Yes, our company will be established soon, do you want to celebrate with us?”
“Yes, let’s go together, boss, we may not be able to have a good meal 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 after I change my clothes.”
After all the employees had left, Qin Man went downstairs with his mobile phone in his 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 a row.
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?”
“不用,我没什么事。”秦满淡淡应了,抬手动筷。
员工们的话题聊到了结婚生子这一块,大家都喝了点酒,说话也肆无忌惮起来。
“秦总不也谈恋爱了吗?”
“秦总也是你能聊的!”
“没什么不能聊。”秦满一笑,“是谈了,不过最近在吵架。难哄。”
没想到他会回应,他们的问题便更多了。
秦满被问得头大,失笑着起身:“你们吃,我出去上个厕所。”
从包厢出来,秦满微微松了口气。
跟这群人一块工作这么久,还是第一次知道他们这么八卦,女员工也就算了,男员工也各个好奇脸。
不过这种认知也有些新奇,秦满不觉得烦人,反倒挺轻松的。
他出来并不是想上厕所,就是透透气。他在红木阳台上休息了会儿,才转身回包间。
这家餐厅是古风设计,走廊很长。
拐角处,服务员跟他擦身而过,打开他右侧的包厢布门,里面传来一阵交谈声。
“那次比赛,我病了没参加,不然说不定是谁能拿奖呢。”
“那你别想了,肯定还是我。”男人散漫的声音里带着熟悉的笑意,生生勾住了秦满的脚步。
“那再比比?算了,你这么久没训练,我赢了也不光彩。话说回来,随然那场也跑得不错,好像是第五名?”
“第五算什么不错,你别趁机笑话我了。”
秦满转过头,看清了包间里的人。
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 the future boss?”
He Suiran also toasted, and said with a smile: “Okay, okay, I did it all, I will reimburse you, it’s done.” Right?”
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.
“…It
‘s nothing.” Did he drink too much?
Why did he feel that the back just now looked very like Qin Man.
