Chapter 186 Don't trouble Lu Ran

"Why didn't you answer?" Lu Ran tilted his head to look at him.

He chuckled and said, "You can continue to guess."

Lu Ran felt bored, no matter whether she guessed the man correctly or not, she didn't react at all. She calmed down and turned her head to look out of the car window.

Today's sky is very cloudy, the temperature has not yet risen, and the people coming and going on the street are still wrapped up like bears in winter.

The car quickly arrived at Taste World's office building.

Lu Ran got out of the car, smiled at Ji Zebei and said, "I'm going to work."

"Call after get off work, I'll pick you up."

"it is good."

After watching Lu Ran enter the building, Ji Zebei drove back. He didn't go to the store all day, and spent the afternoon thinking about the recipes, planning to make something good for Lu Ran in the evening.

However, he didn't receive a call from Lu Ran until dark. He waited patiently until eight o'clock at night, and finally couldn't help but pull out Lu Ran's phone number.

At this time, Lu Ran was still working overtime in the post-editing room. Sophie had seen the pictures cut from the show in the afternoon. She was not satisfied and asked Lu Ran to take new screenshots.

There were only a few pictures needed for the two episodes, but she spent a whole day and still couldn't satisfy Sophie.

The editor was impatient, "When are you going to get it?"

"I also want to know how to satisfy the host of Su University."

"Did you offend her? You did this to me."

Lu Ran smiled without saying a word, and continued to work hard.

The editor stayed until eight o'clock, got up decisively and left, leaving only Lu Ran in the whole department still working overtime.

While she was busy, the cell phone in her pocket rang suddenly, she took out the cell phone, the caller ID was Ji Zebei, she quickly picked it up.

"Where are you?" The man's tone showed a trace of anxiety.

"I'm working overtime."

"What do you do as a columnist?"

"Sophie is not satisfied with the photos I took before, so I can only cut out the ones she is satisfied with from the recorded program video."

Ji Zebei frowned slightly, this Sophie really went too far, didn't she know that Lu Ran had just been discharged from the hospital?
Taking a deep breath, he asked as calmly as possible, "What about dinner?"

"I haven't eaten yet. Speaking of which, I'm a little hungry."

"Wait."

"?"

Lu Ran was surprised, just as he was about to say something, the man had already hung up the phone.

Half an hour later, someone knocked on the door of the editing room. She turned around and found that the door was open. Ji Zebei was standing at the door, holding an insulated lunch box in her hand.

She was both surprised and delighted, "Old Ji, you made a special trip to bring me dinner?"

"Ah."

She was made things difficult by Sophie just after she was discharged from the hospital. He might not be able to help her with work, but he would never let her go hungry.

He stepped forward and put the insulated lunch box on the desk next to the computer, "Eat something first."

Lu Ran immediately stopped what he was doing, and happily opened the lunch box. There was a layer of boiled vegetables on the top, and a big bowl of hot meatball soup on the bottom.

She took a sip of the soup and it was very fresh.

Ji Zebei waited patiently for her to finish the meatball soup, and asked her, "Is it enough?"

Lu Ran smiled and said, "Enough, do you think I'm a pig?"

"You are indeed like a piggy that can only be eaten."

-

After working until after eleven o'clock at night, Lu Ran finally got the job done, but the cut-out picture had to be reviewed by Sophie the next day. Thinking that Sophie might continue to make things difficult, she sighed heavily.

It was almost twelve o'clock when we got back to the apartment, Ji Zebei settled down to sleep and left lightly.

After entering his home, he took out his mobile phone and took a look. Sophie called him five hours ago, and then sent another message, asking him to have dinner with him.

He didn't answer her call, nor did he return her message.

Thinking of her making things difficult for Lu Ran, he called back Sophie's number with a cold face.

As soon as the beep sounded, the other party answered in almost seconds.

"You finally called back." Sophie sounded quite excited.

"Lu Ran has just been discharged from the hospital, so don't trouble her."

The receiver went blank for a while, and Sophie's cold voice came, "I didn't trouble her, that was her job, and she should do it well."

"I know better than you what the photos she took look like."

"You called so late because of Lu Ran? She complained in front of you, right? A person who can't even do such a simple thing has the face to complain."

"She didn't complain."

"Then what are you doing? Do you feel sorry for her?"

"Yes."

Sophie on the other end of the phone was trembling with anger, "Ji Zebei, don't forget who told you the truth when you were attacked by the M country media."

"What do you want to say?"

"If I hadn't told you the truth, I'm afraid you would have been unable to bear the pressure and driven crazy."

"You have underestimated my mental capacity too much."

"If you are not influenced by public opinion, how can you have a bad taste?"

"You investigate me?"

"It's a bit ugly to say that the investigation is, I just pay more attention to you."

Ji Zebei was silent for a few seconds, and said indifferently: "Remember what I said, don't trouble Lu Ran."

Without giving Sophie another chance to speak, he hung up the phone without thinking.

Soon Sophie called again, but he didn't answer, and just muted the phone.

Early the next morning, he got up and cooked lean meat porridge for Lu Ran. He estimated the time, and when he felt that Lu Ran was about to wake up, he rang Lu Ran's doorbell with a bowl of porridge and special side dishes.

A few minutes later, Lu Ran came to open the door. Her eyes were sleepy and her hair was disheveled like a chicken coop.

"Old Ji, good morning."

"..." It was Lao Ji again.

He handed over the breakfast, and she took it, "Thank you, Ji."

"I'll see you off later."

Lu Ran was taken aback, "Send it back?"

"Send it." Not only did he want to send it off, but he also wanted to pick her up after she got off work.

He turned around and went home, drank some porridge, and waited patiently for Lu Ran to land. The anti-theft door was always ajar, and he heard the sound of closing the door next door. He got up, took the car keys and walked out quickly.

Lu Ran was so sleepy in the car that he yawned again and again, looking very listless.

"Isn't yesterday's work done? Go home after signing in, huh?"

Lu Ran smiled wryly, "No, the work needs to be checked and accepted by the University of Su."

"You know she is deliberately making things difficult for you."

"I can't help it, even Liang Man wants to give her some face." After all, she is a well-known host invited by high-level officials from abroad, so it is not easy to offend.

Although Lu Ran doesn't like Sophie, she doesn't want to have any conflicts with Sophie in the company. Fortunately, after recruiting a new writer, she will only be in charge of her food column and will not have any work with Sophie. contacts.

She endured it, everything will be fine after this time.

Ji Zebei fell silent, and sent her to Taste World's office building, and he watched her walk in.

She went to the department to check in, sat in her seat, squatted on the table for a few minutes in a daze, when Su Ge came, he patted her shoulder lightly, and asked in a low voice: "Sister Ran, Is there something wrong with you?"

"No discomfort, just didn't sleep well."

"Are you working late?"
