214 Chapter 214: Lingering Ghosts(1/2)
Lan Yifeng lowered his head and looked at the photo on his phone. It was the photo of him almost being beaten by Fu Tianlei in the restaurant that day. He didn't know who took the photo. He posted it online and the rate of forwarding was very high.
The main reason is that Fu Tianlei is a famous financial prince, a fun-loving second generation ancestor, and a frequent visitor to major entertainment headlines, so he has received so much attention.
Lan Yifeng probably guessed what her colleagues were thinking. They saw that she and Fu Tianlei seemed to be having an affair. Today, after more than a month of rest, she came back to the company to work as a low-level clerk. She was probably hooking up with rich people.
If it doesn't work, I have to go back to work honestly.
In the eyes of the people surrounding her, she saw contempt, ridicule, and gloating...
"What are you doing here? Don't you know it's time to go to work?"
Qiu Mai gave a sharp shout, which scared the others to the point where they immediately turned into animals and turned around, looking for their mothers.
Qiu Mai's eyes finally fell on Lan Yifeng's face, "Lan Yifeng, come here!"
Lan Yifeng followed her to her office.
"Lan Yifeng, I don't care how big a backer you have. Since you are working here, please have a working attitude. I don't want you to affect the entire team by yourself."
"Ok, I know."
Qiu Mai trained Lan Yifeng for half an hour before letting her leave.
Lan Yifeng returned to his workstation and found that the previously empty desktop was now piled high with files as high as a mountain.
She shrugged and started doing it without any resistance. After a busy day, she dealt with a lot of cass and felt a small sense of accomplishment.
It's better to have a legitimate job. No matter how tiring it is, she feels very comfortable when she thinks that the money she earns is clean. Even if someone bullies her now, it doesn't matter to her. Because this bullying is compared with the suffering she suffered before.
What did it count?
"Yifeng, you haven't gotten off work yet?"
A familiar voice sounded. She looked up from the computer and saw that there was no one else in the office, and Qin Zhongyuan was standing at the door.
He walked over slowly and said, "Yi Feng, although bosses like capable employees, I am not that perverted and like to exploit employees."
"Haha..." Lan Yifeng smiled awkwardly and immediately explained: "I didn't say you were a pervert."
"Then you talk about being perverted and perverted every day. Who are you scolding?"
"Call me a pervert. But don't worry, it's definitely not you."
"Should I be honored?"
"The boss has the final say."
"Haha..." Qin Zhongyuan couldn't help but laugh, and Lan Yifeng also laughed. It felt like the two of them hadn't seen each other for several days, but once they met, with just a few words, the barrier disappeared.
To be honest, Qin Zhongyuan looks pretty good when he smiles. He should smile more usually.
Huo Qingcang stopped laughing and asked: "By the way, don't you still owe me a meal? It's better to choose a different day. Today is the day."
Lan Yifeng looked outside. It was already dark. At this time, Lan and the others should have arrived home, and they should have made dinner, so it didn't matter if she didn't go back.
"Okay, just today. I'll call my son."
"Lan and this little guy are your bosses, right?"
"Yes, yes, he is the one who really cannot be offended. If you offend you, you will only lose your job. If you offend him, your life will be at risk."
Lan Yifeng was joking and told the baby a few words on the phone, then took the bag and left the company with Qin Zhongyuan.
His car was parked in the underground garage. Because he didn't bring Xiaolan to the company, he drove a low-key ordinary BMW today. Unlike Huo, who was afraid that others would not know that his family was rich, he always drove various cars when he went out.
A luxury sports car hits the road.
Qin Zhongyuan opened the door on the other side of the driver's seat for her in a gentlemanly manner. Lan Yifeng said thank you and sat in generously.
Qin Zhongyuan sat in the driver's seat, told her to fasten her seat belt, and asked casually while reversing: "What do you want to eat?"
"I'm treating you to this meal, it's up to you to decide."
With a smile in his eyes: "You really let me decide?"
"Of course."
"I want to eat... abalone fins, bear paws and monkey brains..."
Lan Yifeng raised his hands in aggrieved manner and interrupted him embarrassedly: "I will be destitute by you. It's up to me to decide."
Qin Zhongyuan's deep laughter sounded in the quiet car. She knew that he was just teasing her by what he said just now, so she stopped being polite to him and gave him a location.
There was obviously not a lot of traffic along the way, but Qin Zhongyuan still drove uneasy. The luxurious buildings on both sides of the street were lit up with colorful lights and slowly backed away.
Lan Yifeng pressed her head against the window and looked outside. The night and lights reflected each other.
She asked slowly: "Miles, have you ever felt like this? Just looking at the lights at night, there is always a feeling of desolation in my heart."
"I don't know where my home is. Even in summer, I feel cold all over."
She turned back and looked at his side face as he drove seriously. Sometimes, she felt that they were very similar. No one had ever truly loved her, so she always longed for a true love, but in the end, she still came up empty-handed.
So, sometimes, she likes to be with him, as if he is an accomplice in her tragic fate.
But sometimes, she hated being with him, because he always saw through her heart and the deepest hurt in her heart at once.
His slender fingers clicked on the console, and melodious music sounded, blowing away the depressing atmosphere in the car.
Qin Zhongyuan turned his head slightly: "Yifeng, you seem a little unhappy today."
"No way!" Lan Yifeng immediately returned to his heartless smile, "You don't think I'm unhappy just because I just pretended to be artistic, do you?"
Qin Zhongyuan said nothing, but gave her a faint side glance.
Just now at the company, before he called her, he had been standing at the door observing her for a long time. Sometimes she lowered her head to work, and sometimes she was too distracted, which was completely different from her usual lively working state.
He wouldn't think it was her first day back at work.
"Hey, hey," Lan Yifeng suddenly pointed outside excitedly: "That's the store! Find a place to park."
This is an ordinary shop that cannot be more ordinary. It is small but very clean. It is after eight o'clock in the evening and there are still many customers.
The two of them found a seat and sat down. Lan Yifeng knew that Qin Zhongyuan had endured hardship before and didn't mind how greasy the tables, chairs and benches were. If he brought Huo Qingcang here, he would definitely dislike this and that, looking like a young man.
"Oh, why does this girl look familiar?" The proprietress of the store came over with a menu. Seeing Lan Yifeng frown slightly, he tried to think of her name: "Is your name Rao or Yao?
With..."
Lan Yifeng was even more surprised. She hadn't been here for at least five years. Wouldn't the landlady recognize her?
"Haha, boss lady, I haven't been here for a long time, but you can still recognize me, that's amazing!" Lan Yifeng interrupted the boss lady's recollection before she could think of her real name.
"Have you often come to our business before? I haven't seen you here for a long time." The proprietress looked at the man beside her and winked: "Your man?"
"No, no, just ordinary friends." Lan Yifeng waved her hand repeatedly and took the menu from her hand.
"I highly recommend this spicy and sour beef rice noodles. It's very delicious." Lan Yifeng pointed to the menu and introduced it to Qin Zhongyuan. When he nodded, she ordered a few more special dishes and snacks in the store until he stopped her from ordering any more.
, she stopped.
“I ordered so much and couldn’t finish it.”
"I didn't treat you to a fancy restaurant, you should order more."
"Deliciousness lies in the folk. Things made in high-end restaurants may not be delicious."
"You despise the chef."
The proprietress went to ask the cook below to cook. Qin Zhongyuan and Lan Yifeng chatted casually and bickered, not fiercely, but they also had fun. They laughed and chatted, and the dishes they ordered came one after another.
Qin Zhongyuan tasted the noodles first and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up, "Well, it tastes really good."
"Really!" Seeing that he was satisfied, she was naturally happy and couldn't help but show off: "This store has been open for many years, and it is full of customers every day. I used to come here after class and couldn't even grab a seat."
Qin Zhongyuan thought for a moment and realized that University A was indeed nearby.
"Did you used to come here with the children's father?"
During the period when she was blind, she was very fragile. She once mentioned to him that she and the father of her children met at University A.
Lan Yifeng's bright smile froze on her face. After a while, she shook her head, "How could he be willing to come to a place like this?"
Huo Qingcang has been a pampered young master since he was a child. She once asked him to beg him, and she even pulled him to the door. He refused to come in and have a meal with her. Just looking at the gray glass window, he was speechless.
His face looks disgusted.
Therefore, even during the period of love, when she got greedy, she would sit alone in the shop and watch other student couples feed me a bite and I feed you a bite. It was so sweet. She felt so sad.
A large bowl of soup was brought up. Qin Zhongyuan picked out the coriander in the soup one by one, then filled a small bowl for her, "Drink it while it's hot."
Lan Yifeng nodded with sour eyes, picked up the bowl, blew on it, and took a sip of the hot soup.
When they had dinner with him before, she only frowned at coriander, and he remembered that she didn't eat coriander, and that person never remembered what she liked and didn't like.
She knew that it was unfair to Qin Zhongyuan to always compare Qin Zhongyuan with Huo Qingcang, but she just couldn't help but compare.
what is it today!
The two of them finally finished their meal. Lan Yifeng insisted on paying and walked out of the shop together.
"I'm so full, let's go for a walk and then go back."
Lan Yifeng nodded, accepted Qin Zhongyuan's proposal, and walked slowly along the street.
