Chapter 171 Vinegar Jar

She lowered her head and enjoyed the food quietly. Ji Zebei sat next to her, and Sophie sat opposite Ji Zebei. The woman chatted and laughed with Ji Zebei while eating, and spoke English from time to time, which made her confused.

Halfway through the meal, Sophie stopped talking to Ji Zebei in English, without a word of Chinese in her mouth.

Lu Ran's English is poor, but it's not enough to understand a sentence, but Sophie speaks too fast, she hasn't translated the last sentence, and the next sentence is over.

"Why are you so quiet today?" Ji Zebei asked her suddenly.

She looked up and smiled at him, "I can't get in."

After finishing speaking, she lowered her head and continued to eat.

Sophie is a chatterbox, she seems to have endless conversations with Ji Zebei, Ji Zebei is relatively silent, but Sophie still keeps talking.

After eating and drinking enough, Lu Ran picked up his bag and said, "I'm going back to the company first, you eat slowly."

Sophie was taken aback, "Aren't you waiting for me?"

"You should still have a lot to say, you continue."

She ignored Ji Zebei and walked out of Ji Fanzhai quickly.

The man kept interacting with Sophie but ignored her behavior, which made her extremely annoyed.

Since he liked listening to Sophie so much, let him listen as much as he could.

She drove back to the company, squatted on the table, and woke up at three o'clock in the afternoon.

She stretched, tidied up her desk, took her camera and work notes, and set off for the food street.

It was difficult to park outside the food street. She parked her car outside a fast food restaurant across the street, walked to the food street with her bag on her back, and took some photos of snacks along the street. It was already dark.

She decided to settle her dinner here, and bought a variety of snacks in several stores. She kept eating while taking work records, and she was busy until nine o'clock at night in a blink of an eye.

It was exactly 09:30 when I drove back to the apartment. As soon as she entered the house, she took off her coat and went to the bathroom to wash her face when the doorbell rang.

She wiped her face with a towel, and walked quickly to the entrance to open the door.

Seeing Ji Zebei standing outside the door, her eyes turned cold, "What's the matter?"

"Why are you back so late?"

"at work."

Without her permission, Ji Zebei didn't rush into the house. He faintly felt that Lu Ran's expression was wrong, and he seemed unhappy.

"Have you had dinner yet?"

"Eat, if you have nothing important to do, I'm going to rest."

Before Ji Zebei could react, she slammed the door shut.

In the evening, she wrote two food manuscripts overnight. She proofread them again and again, and sent them directly to Liang Man's mailbox if there were no problems. She wrote the manuscripts for two weeks at a time, and then she could concentrate on studying the manuscripts for Friday's food show.

When she was woken up by the alarm clock the next day, she lay lazily in bed and didn't want to move, but when she thought about the current working system, she had to clock in at the company no matter what, she finally got up.

Although her job is relatively free and she doesn't need to be in the company every day, she is required to go to the department to check in every morning, otherwise she will be treated as absent.

When she arrived at the company, she was reminded by her colleagues that Liang Man was looking for her, and she went straight to Liang Man's office after punching out her card.

"I have read both manuscripts, and they are very well written."

She nodded, and heard Liang Man say: "I am not your editor now, so you don't need to send manuscripts to my mailbox in the future. I have assigned you an editor who will sit next to you. He is a new editor. My handsome guy, he will be responsible for typesetting and proofreading in the future, you go and say hello to him, I have forwarded the manuscript to his mailbox."

"it is good."

Lu Ran went to bed late last night, woke up early in the morning and is still a little dazed.

She turned to leave, but Liang Man stopped her and said, "Your editor's name is Su Ge."

She said 'oh', yawned and opened the door and walked out.

Seeing that the seat next to him had been vacant for several days, there was really a young man sitting there, wearing casual clothes, who looked young, like a college student.

She walked over and greeted politely, "Hi, I'm Lu Ran."

The man raised his head, his eyes were clean and bright, "Hello, I'm Su Ge, I will be your editor from now on, please give me your advice."

"just graduated?"

Su Ge laughed with two dimples, "Well, today is my first day at work."

"come on."

"Can I call you Miss Ran?"

Lu Ran was stunned for a moment, and said, "You can do whatever you want."

"Miss Ran."

"……Oh."

After checking in and greeting the new editor, Lu Ran left the company directly and went to the food street.

During the whole morning, she tasted almost all the delicacies that she didn't eat yesterday, took pictures, and made notes for her work. When it was close to two o'clock, she drove home to catch up on sleep.

It was already evening when she woke up, she rubbed her drowsy head and got up to add food and water to rhubarb, and then went into the study to sort out her work notes.

While I was busy, my phone rang suddenly.

The caller ID is an unknown number, and the display is local.

She hesitated for a few seconds to answer, but before she could speak, the other party spoke first, "Is it Lu Ran?"

"you are?"

"I'm Sophie."

"..."

"Do you have time tonight?"

Just as she was about to say no, she heard this woman who likes to rush to talk say: "Zebei promised to take me to experience the nightlife in Shangjing, you can come together."

"..."

Ten thousand grass and mud horses galloped past in my heart.

Ji Zebei actually agreed to Sophie's request?
Eat, chat, or play with you?
"Are you coming?"

She took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and said, "Go, of course."

How could she rest assured that Ji Zebei and Sophie were alone at night.

The meeting time was eight o'clock in the evening, and it is almost six o'clock now.

Lu Ran hung up the phone and went into the kitchen to cook a bowl of instant noodles, put a pad on her belly, and then went to freshen up. When it was close to 07:30, she was about to go out. When she opened the door, she was surprised to find Ji Zebei standing outside, The man's arm was raised, obviously ready to ring the doorbell.

Looking at each other, the man lowered his raised arms and said calmly, "Sophie said she invited you. I'll pick you up. You don't want to drive tonight."

With a sullen face, she didn't answer, strode out and followed the man into the elevator.

She didn't say a word to Ji Zebei until she got into Ji Zebei's car.

The car slowly drove out of the apartment parking lot, and Ji Zebei glanced at Lu Ran in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

In the past, Lu Ran always sat in the passenger seat, but this time she actually sat in the back, with an abnormally cold face.

"Work is not going well?"

Lu Ran raised his eyes, glanced at him lightly, turned his eyes to look out of the car window, and said indifferently: "Nothing goes wrong."

"you are not happy."

"Not unhappy."

"Because of Sophie?"

Lu Ran remained silent.

Ji Zebei explained, "She has no friends here."

"Why didn't I see that Mr. Ji cared so much about ordinary friends before?"

"..."
