full-time lovers

Chapter 24

The taxi stopped at the entrance of Ji Fanzhai, and Lu Ran rushed to pay the taxi fare, which made Ye Zhian's face hurt.

When walking into the store, Ye Zhi'an was still rambling: "What are you robbing, it makes me very embarrassed."

Lu Ran smiled, "Didn't you buy a drink yesterday, I just paid for the carriage return."

"Don't do that next time."

"Next time you want me to pay, I won't pay." Ye Zhian is very clear about her situation, the monthly salary is only so little, and she has to support herself and her cat.

Meng Yi paid for the meal at Ji Fanzhai before, and she had to pay it back. Although Meng Yi didn't mean to urge her, she still had to pay it back.

Thinking of her, the dignified daughter of the Lu family, since she was a child, she stretched out her clothes and opened her mouth to eat. How can she live in such a desolate life now? Everyone around her is better developed than her.

Although her elder brother and second brother both received some help from the family, they mostly relied on themselves. Although the apartment she lives in now was purchased with her own dowry money, the money was prepared for her by her parents. After all, she still relies on the house bought by her family.

Pushing open the door, a gust of warm wind blows.

She subconsciously walked towards the window, the first floor was deserted, except for the cashier at the bar and two beautiful waiters in cheongsams in the lobby, no one else was seen.

She and Ye Zhian sat down facing the window, and a waiter came over with the menu.

"Where's your boss?" Ye Zhian took the menu handed over by the waiter, gave it directly to Lu Ran, and asked while staring at the waiter.

The waiter smiled and replied: "The boss is not here."

"When is he coming?"

"Not sure." The waiter was a little puzzled, but he didn't show it on his face.

Ji Zebei is often in the store all day long, and he comes early every morning. He is responsible for purchasing the seafood and ingredients used in the kitchen. Today, not only did he not come, but the ingredients were not prepared. However, business is not good today. , there were only two tables of guests at noon, until now, Lu Ran and Ye Zhian were the third table of guests welcomed in the store.

Ye Zhian looked around the hall and murmured, "Business is really bleak."

Lu Ran smiled wryly, ordered a vegetarian dish, and gave the menu to Ye Zhi'an.

"You just order one dish?"

She nodded, "You can order the rest."

"Row."

Ye Zhi'an's family has been very wealthy since he was a child, and he has always spent money lavishly. He didn't look at the prices on the menu at all, and ordered several dishes happily.

After the waiter walked away, he immediately took out his mobile phone and called Ji Zebei.

At this time, Ji Zebei was still at home. He was sitting on the sofa, squinting at Ji Zichen who was cracking melon seeds beside him, the melon seeds were falling everywhere.

Every time Ji Zichen came to live with him for a short while, he had to endure Ji Zichen's misfortune in his home, and Ji Zichen never cared about his eyes, and was still doing what he wanted to do.

The cell phone rang suddenly, Ji Zebei looked away, picked up the cell phone on the coffee table, saw the caller ID, and answered it without hesitation.

"I'm in Ji Fanzhai." Ye Zhi'an's bright voice came.

"yourself?"

"My little sister and I, come and take care of your business."

"Cut! Forget it, this order is free."

"That can't be done. We are here to take care of your business. Ji Fanzhai's business is worse than I imagined. Why don't you hire me at a high price?"

"You are a western food chef, what are you doing?"

Ye Zhian laughed loudly: "It's as if you are not a western food chef. When it comes to this, I have never figured out why you want to open a Chinese restaurant."

"I'm happy." Qing Qing said coldly and without emotion.

Ye Zhian felt that he couldn't ask anything, so he urged, "When are you coming?"

Ji Zebei hesitated for a while, and asked Ji Zichen, "Do you want to eat in the restaurant?"

Ji Zichen casually asked while knocking on the sunflower seeds: "Just the two of us?"

"And those two from yesterday."

"go."

"..."

Ji Zebei answered Ye Zhian's arrival soon and hung up the phone.

-

Knowing that Ji Zebei was coming, Lu Ran felt a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, she hid her emotions well, and Ye Zhi'an, a carefree person, didn't notice anything unusual about her.

Ten minutes later, Ji Zebei and Ji Zichen arrived.

As soon as Ji Zichen entered the door, he enthusiastically waved at them, "Sister Lu Ran, Brother Ye."

She smiled back, and Ye Zhian directly asked Ji Zichen to sit beside him, and Ji Zichen sat down next to him very bluntly.

In this way, Ji Zebei could only sit next to her at the dining table for four.

"Mr. Ji." She pretended to be calm and rushed over to Ji Zebei with a smile.

The man nodded lightly, with no expression on his face, and very calmly pulled the chair next to her and sat down.

She was very close to him, and could smell the faint, seemingly indistinct, clear fragrance from his body.

When he thought of a chef, what flashed into Lu Ran's mind was the kind of greasy uncle with a big head and a thick neck, a big shovel in his hand, a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth, and his face glistening because of long-term exposure to oily smoke.

But the man next to her and the man sitting opposite her are both chefs by profession, but they are both clean and handsome, and it is hard to think of a chef as a profession anyway.

"Have you ordered?" Ji Zebei said lightly, speaking to her.

His sudden accusation made her froze for a moment, and quickly said, "It's time."

"Old Ji, why don't you just ask her instead of asking me if you want to be so sensual and despised friends?" Ye Zhi'an smiled wickedly, teasing on purpose.

Ji Zebei rolled his eyes at him, turned his head and glanced at the bar, then greeted the waiter and asked for a pot of hot tea.

Ji Fanzhai has signature tea, [-] pots, and of course there is also tea for free entertaining guests, but he doesn't want to treat Ye Zhian so casually.

Not long after, all the dishes were served, and Ye Zhian ordered enough for four people, filling the whole table.

No one moves chopsticks first.

Ji Ze looked at Lu Ran from the side, "You don't want to take pictures?"

"what?"

"Aren't you going to write a feature article?"

"I... didn't bring a camera."

"You can take pictures with your phone."

"Forget it, I'll bring a camera next time." Work and life still have to be separated.

Ji Zichen picked up the chopsticks and asked softly, "Can I start?"

Lu Ran nodded, "Okay."

Ji Zichen was injured on his left arm, and he is right-handed, so even with one arm hanging, it did not affect his normal life.

Several people started.

Ye Zhian mentioned the matter of buying mountaineering clothes with Lu Ran in the mall, and the agreement to climb the mountain early on Saturday morning, but Ji Zebei didn't say a word, and he didn't seem to be disgusted by it.

Lu Ran's uneasy heart suddenly calmed down a lot.

She felt that the possibility of chasing Ji Zebei was still very high. She was neither stupid nor slow, and could clearly feel that Ye Zhian and Ji Zichen were trying to match her and Ji Zebei.
