The moonlight is very bright tonight, illuminating the ground brightly, and the shadows of the trees covering it are umbrella-shaped, like carefully cut paper.

Wen Ran was wearing small stiletto shoes, and her footsteps hit the ground messily.

Qin Xiao looked back at Wen Ran warily, then leaned into Yan Wangshu's ear and said a few words.

Yan Wangshu did not look back, nor did he slow down his pace.

Wen Ran chased after him and called out breathlessly: "Mr. Yan."

The next second, Qin Xiao stretched out his hand to separate the two people.

Wen Ran instantly understood that that was an insurmountable distance for her at the moment.

Although they had shared a car and shared a table, she had also been to his house.

However, that only happened because of his permission.

Wen Ran took the initiative to move half a step to the side and followed politely, keeping a distance: "Mr. Yan, please excuse me."

Yan Wangshu strode as if he hadn't heard anything, looking straight ahead, his handsome side face cold and devoid of any emotion.

Qin Xiao: "If you have any questions, you can communicate with the department head first."

Wen Ran glanced at Qin Xiao apologetically, and spoke again across the distance: "Mr. Yan, I would like to ask you why you eliminated my work from Miss Zhong's commercial project."

Seeing that Yan Wangshu didn't respond, Wen Ran's tone became a little more urgent: "Your opinion is very important to me."

Still no response.

A black small business car had already parked not far away. The driver opened the rear door and waited aside.

Yan Wangshu raised his feet and sat in. Just when Qin Xiao was about to close the car door, Wen Ran grabbed him.

Her fingers were long and slender, and the tips of her fingers turned white from exerting too much effort.

Qin Xiao subconsciously grabbed Wen Ran's arm to guard against her, but Wen Ran still didn't let go.

Wen Ran was in pain and looked at Qin Xiao, her bright eyes looking helpless and pitiful in the dark night: "I know...I know..."

Her lips trembled and she hesitated.

She knew it was wrong for her to do this, and she knew it was forcing others to do something difficult.

But she just wanted to know the answer.

This answer is too important to her.

It's so important that she should think carefully about which direction her future should take.

Wen Ran held the car door, her voice low and breathy: "Mr. Yan, I sincerely ask you for advice."

Yan Wangshu looked sideways.

Her weak back is slightly bent, the wrists holding the car door are slender and fragile, her skin is as fair as cold porcelain, her eyebrows are slightly furrowed, and her moist almond eyes have long and dense eyelashes.

Qin Xiao could hold the arm with one hand, and the tender flesh slightly protruded after being squeezed hard.

But she didn't panic or flinch at all. She looked at him with firm and persistent eyes.

Yan Wangshu raised his eyes and looked at Qin Xiao, but even he didn't notice it. That look was very warning.

Qin Xiao let go.

Yan Wangshu realized his reaction, lowered his head and sneered at himself.

Wen Ran couldn't figure out his attitude, so she could only calm down her tone to make herself less rude: "Mr. Yan, I didn't want to hinder you, but..."

Yan Wangshu raised his eyes, his eyes reserved, and interrupted her coldly: "You have already hindered me."

He is already delicate-looking, and coupled with his naturally superior growth environment, his alienated look makes people feel intimidating.

Wen Ran relaxed her grip and apologized: "I'm sorry."

But she still wanted to know: "Mr. Yan, your review is really important to me."

Her voice trembled in the night.

Yan Wangshu felt like his heart was scratched just like last time. He closed his eyes and swallowed the emotion: "I don't have time now."

Wen Ran was stunned for a moment, realized there was a turning point, and smiled: "Okay, then I'll wait for you?"

Yan Wangshu said nothing.

Wen Ran glanced at Qin Xiao knowingly, and helped Yan Wangshu close the car door as a gesture of goodwill.

Then, he nodded apologetically to Qin Xiao: "Excuse me, how long do you have to wait?"

Qin Xiao walked to the passenger seat and said perfunctorily: "I don't know."

Qin Xiao opened the door, got into the passenger seat, and the vehicle drove away under the dim street lights.

Wen Ran walked towards the office building, and the branches next to him were swayed by a gust of wind. Wen Ran subconsciously hugged his arm, and then he realized that there was some pain in the palm of his hand.

She lowered her head and saw that the blisters on her right hand were broken due to burns. She thought she had broken them when she opened the car door in excitement.

But it doesn't matter, as long as you can get the answer.

Wen Ran raised his head slightly, took a deep breath, and felt that the pain in the tiger's mouth was not too painful.

Wen Ran returned to the office, and the blinding white light made it even more peaceful.

She finished all the trivial tasks on her hands and wanted to draw a picture, but she was preoccupied and couldn't concentrate, so she put down the brush.

I have nothing to do and I feel sleepy after a while.

Wen Ran stood up and walked around the office twice to refresh himself.

If she gets sleepier again, she will get up and walk around twice more.

A patrolling security guard saw Wen Ran walking around the office and knocked on the door: "Why don't you go home?"

Wen Ran probed his head: "We have to wait a little longer."

The security guard advised her: "It's so late. If you have anything to do, wait until tomorrow to do it."

Wen Ran: "I will pay attention to the time."

The security guard didn't give any more advice and continued patrolling.

Wen Ran looked at her phone. It was almost early in the morning. Why hasn't Yan Wangshu come back yet?

Wen Ran pulled up the chair and sat down. After sitting for a while, he felt sleepy again.

This time, she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes.

Wen Ran walked out of the office and subconsciously walked in the direction of Yan Wangshu's office.

She walked around to the horizontal window in the corridor and put her little face close to her face. Just like her previous inspection, she really couldn't see anything when she looked in from the outside.

While I was watching, I heard footsteps coming from the corridor.

Wen Ran turned his head and saw Yan Wangshu and Qin Xiao approaching.

Wen Ran's brows moved, and after reacting, the corners of her mouth turned up unconsciously, and she stepped forward to greet him: "Mr. Yan, I just happened to come out."

Yan Wangshu glanced at her, handed the thing in his hand to Qin Xiao, and frowned: "Why are you still here?"

Didn’t you say you’d wait?

Looking at his expression, Wen Ran began to doubt himself.

"Didn't I say, wait for you?" Wen Ran responded softly.

Yan Wangshu glanced at Qin Xiao displeased.

Qin Xiao didn't expect such an honest person. He just said perfunctorily that she didn't know that her boss would come back at that time. So if they didn't come back tonight, she wouldn't have to wait all night?

Yan Wangshu took a deep breath and arranged for Qin Xiao: "The meeting with the marketing department of F country is scheduled for five minutes."

Qin Xiao immediately went to implement the arrangement.

Yan Wangshu turned around, raised his hand and pressed it on the edge of the corridor, with a lazy posture: "I remember your work, 'Yuzhu', right?"

"yes."

"Wen Ran, do you know the market value of that white ice jadeite?"

Wen Ran knew something about the stone and analyzed it carefully: "The jadeite has uniform particle size, fine texture, and symmetry..."

Before Wen Ran could finish speaking, Yan Wangshu raised his hand impatiently and interrupted: "I'm not here to listen to your analysis."

"..."

Yan Wangshu raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist: "You still have four minutes."

A chronic person like Wen Ran felt the urgency instantly, and his blood felt like it was boiling: "Less than fifty thousand yuan."

Yan Wangshu: "Then let me tell you now, its design fee is several times more expensive than that jadeite."

Wen Ran raised his head slightly, looked directly at him, and pondered his words.

Yan Wangshu had no time to talk to her and said bluntly: "So, your design was wrong from the beginning."

After saying that, he turned and walked away.
