Chapter 27 Call Me Alian
After the old man called and dropped a bombshell that day, Ji Mianzhu was suddenly caught up in his busy work, as if the workload of the year was overwhelmed unexpectedly like a mountain flood. Each of the projects of the company, as well as the finalized plan to win the Star Quenching cooperation, all need Ji Mianzhu to look over them one by one and decide them one by one. Secretary Song was too busy to touch the ground. As the CEO, Ji Mianzhu's sleep time was greatly reduced. He stayed in the office all day long, and even Jiang Lian, who was in the CEO's office, had to follow Ji Mianzhu around.
The trivial time was filled with more trivial tasks, which made Ji Mianzhu forget to return to Ji's house for a while, until one day when he came out of the study, he caught a glimpse of a small red circle on the original owner's calendar. , Ji Mianzhu suddenly realized that the day after tomorrow is the birthday of Master Ji!
All of a sudden, the bomb that Old Master Ji threw down when he called and the original plot that was not very clear in his mind gradually surfaced in Ji Mianzhu's mind.
In the original book, Mr. Ji's 80th birthday is a relatively important plot node, because once this node is over, the protagonist Gongshou will meet, and the original protagonist will take the role of the villain since then, and the protagonist Gongshou will fight in darkness. Until I was finally bankrupt, I was unable to toss anymore.
At that time in the book, the paranoid and perverted original owner also brought the protagonist Shou back to Ji's house, but he wanted to control the protagonist. In the depths of the Ji Residence compound, daily movement is restricted. On the day of the extremely lively birthday banquet, no one among the guests who came and went to the Ji Mansion knew that there was a trapped person in the depths of the Ji Mansion. So after this time, the protagonist Shou completely remembered and hated the original owner, and at the same time he had the idea of fleeing, and on the way to escape, he met the protagonist of the true destiny, Gu Ren.
There is no need to say more about the story after that.
No wonder no wonder!
Ji Mianzhu took a sip of cold water to suppress his shock.
No wonder Mr. Ji suddenly called him a few days ago to ask him to go back. It turned out that the birthday banquet was approaching. In this case, his own grandson should go back to celebrate the old man's birthday and preside over the birthday banquet. Not to mention that Mr. Ji is the closest relative of his blood in the world, and he is also very caring and unambiguous for him. Mr. Ji's contribution to the group of wolves who surround the Central Plains master can grow to such a large safely.
But there was one thing that Ji Mianzhu couldn't figure out, that is, the old man made it clear that he wanted Jiang Lian to go back together. The plot didn't appear in the original book at all, but now it suddenly happened.
This is very bizarre.
Ji Mianzhu took another slow sip of water, and a thought flashed in the half-hanging phoenix eyes.
After a long while, Ji Mianzhu reluctantly put the cup aside and rubbed his brows instead.
Forget it, I can't figure it out, the biggest possibility is nothing more than a small change in the details of the plot, but the big fact that Jiang Lian will go back with him cannot be changed. The top priority should be to think about how to make Jiang Lian willing to go back with him. After all, the relationship between him and Jiang Lian has eased, and it is definitely not advisable to take people away forcefully.
You should adopt a ruthless strategy.
Ji Mianzhu was thoughtful.
A few seconds later, he woke up like a dream, and hurriedly buried his head in the pile of documents again. The expensive custom-made fountain pen kept moving in Ji Mianzhu's slender and beautiful hand, writing a series of elegant handwriting.
At this moment, put these things aside and hurry up to work, otherwise he won't be able to get out of this office today!
After working hard for a few hours, Ji Mianzhu finally finished reading all the documents that were piled up together. He couldn't help but sighed in relief, and slumped back into his office chair. When Secretary Song came to collect the documents, Ji Mianzhu casually ordered while playing with the pen,
"Call Jiang Lian here later. I have something to talk to him about."
Secretary Song hugged him with one hand . With the document in hand, he pushed the glasses with the other hand, so that the lenses reflected a touch of sunlight, and he agreed neatly.
Ji Mianzhu had a thorough understanding of Song Yan's work efficiency, so as soon as Song Yanfu left, Ji Mianzhu got up and sat on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, took a glass and poured water. When the clear and translucent water filled the glass, the door of the office was also gently knocked, and at the same time, Jiang Lian's unique and low voice came from outside the door.
Ji Mianzhu's thoughts formed in his heart, he quickly corrected his attitude, and his voice was slightly deep:
"Come in."
Almost as soon as Ji Mianzhu's voice landed, the door of the office was pushed open, exactly as expected, Jiang Lian's tall and slender figure appeared at the door with long legs. Just as he came in, a pair of dark eyes pinned to Ji Mianzhu who was sitting on the sofa without warning. The moment a villain bathed in sunlight appeared in his pupils, the black clouds surging in Jiang Lian's eyes died down. , gradually calmed down. He walked in this direction step by step.
Seeing this, Ji Mianzhu patted the seat next to him and motioned Jiang Lian to sit down. Jiang Lian didn't make a sound, just sat down beside Ji Mianzhu obediently, and took the glass that Ji Mianzhu handed to him.
The warm feeling spread from the wall of the glass to the palm of his hand, causing Jiang Lian's eyebrows to bend unconsciously. He stared at Ji Mianzhu who was only half an arm away from him, his eyes focused.
"I asked you to come here because I want to talk to you about something," Ji Mianzhu thought about it in his heart, and finally overturned what he had already thought up and decided to get straight to the point: "The day after tomorrow is my grandfather's birthday. The reason is that I want to go back to celebrate my birthday, and there is a possibility of staying there for a few days." Ji Mianzhu paused, looked at Jiang Lian with her phoenix eyes, and said the last sentence with her thin lips: "You want to come with me. Are you going back?"
After speaking, Ji Mianzhu held her breath and waited for Jiang Lian's reply.
To be honest, there is an element of gambling in this decision. For some reason, he didn't want to make up other lies, and let Jiang Lian go with him in the deception, and follow the plot in a confused way. The other party chooses. Therefore, he is actually betting on whether Jiang Lian's attitude towards him has really changed over the past few days, rather than just imagining it.
Ji Mianzhu looked at Jiang Lian with some anticipation, because he was a little nervous, his pale lips were involuntarily pursed slightly, and a little blood appeared at the junction of the lips.
Jiang Lian stared at the attractive red, and a dark light quickly flashed across his eyes. He slowly drank the water in the glass, lowered his eyes and pretended to be thinking, time passed by, and the atmosphere gradually became anxious. When Jiang Lian raised his eyes again, he saw that the color of the two lips had turned brighter. Under the bright sunlight, it seemed that they were alluring people to go up and grind them heavily.
Jiang Lian's eyes darkened.
Feeling that a certain monster in his heart seemed to be about to break free from the cage and shouted all kinds of desires, Jiang Lian couldn't help but sighed and calmed down. He put down the water glass in his hand and smiled slightly under Ji Mianzhu's expectant and nervous gaze.
"Okay."
Ji Mianzhu's phoenix eyes curved into a beautiful arc, and the big stone in his heart finally fell. smiling. The temptation was confirmed, making his attitude and behavior a little closer to Jiang Lian, and there was no doubt in his words.
"Let's set off early in the morning, let's go to prepare the things we're going to bring in the afternoon." After all, it
's the old man's birthday, how could he, the grandson, leave empty-handed?
Jiang Lian listened to the slightly intimate "we", as if he was pleased, and then softened his brows, with a few hints of joy flashing in his eyes.
He obediently agreed.
In the afternoon, Ji Mianzhu, who hurriedly finished his work, immediately got off work and took Jiang Lian around the major shopping malls in Yuncheng. These shopping malls more or less have Ji's shares. Therefore, Ji Mianzhu and his party were like a duck in water, and the services they received were all top-notch.
Since he was choosing a gift for the old man, the intention contained in it was of the first importance. Therefore, Ji Mianzhu did not have a fake hand. Instead, he chose to walk around with Jiang Lian by himself. Some of my own ideas, picking things for the elderly.
There is a large flow of people in the mall, and there are many people coming and going. Ji Mianzhu and the others changed into their formal clothes after work. At this time, they were all wearing everyday clothes. In addition, both of them had good looks, so they were very eye-catching. Not only the service staff in the store would take advantage of them. Introducing the product sneakily, even people who happen to pass by outside can't help but turn their heads to take a look.
Even if the people who come here are either rich or expensive, the world they have seen will not be small.
However, since Ji Mianzhu usually wears formal clothes and goes in and out of the company, now he is wearing casual daily clothes. The difference between the two is very big. These people who come and go don't recognize him for a while. When he is a good-looking son with an extraordinary bearing. As for Jiang Lian next to Ji Mianzhu, he knew even fewer people. After all, he was detained in Jiang's house all year round, and he had few friends.
Because of this, Ji Mianzhu and the others were walking when someone came to chat with him in a dignified manner.
Ji Mianzhu looked at the shy little girl who approached Jiang Lian and raised her eyebrows.
Tsk, Jiang Lian is the protagonist, the charm value is really high, and the ability to provoke crazy bees and butterflies is not small at all. Jiang Lian stared at Ji Mianzhu with a dazed gaze, the light and shadow in his eyes were treacherous, and Ji Mianzhu was inexplicably frightened. He swallowed, and apologetically refused to meet the girl's expectant gaze. "Sorry, I don't have any plans for that at the moment." "Ah, that's how it is." The girl was obviously disappointed, and looked around Ji Mianzhu with nostalgic eyes, but she did not bother anymore, politely. After saying goodbye, he left. Ji Mianzhu breathed a sigh of relief, while Jiang Lian lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. This accident is like the beginning, bringing more surprises. Before taking a few steps, a few more people approached, some male and female, and the targets pointed at Ji Mianzhu. Jiang Lian's complexion completely sank, and his eyes were a little red, showing a bit of sinister color.
Thinking of this, he stood beside him for a while, intending to watch the lively event, but unexpectedly, he suddenly met Jiang Lian's eyes, and Ji Mianzhu was stunned. It is said that when someone catches the eye unexpectedly, the emotional reaction of the other party is the most real moment, and it can best reflect the subtle psychological activities of the other party. But at this moment, Ji Mianzhu didn't capture the emotion in those dark eyes at all, which made him feel like he was in a barren land, empty and terrifying, and there was a sense of horror on his back. Before Ji Mianzhu could react, Jiang Lian averted his eyes and refused to approach him indifferently. When Ji Mianzhu reacted, he saw the girl's slightly disappointed expression.
Ji Mianzhu let out a sigh, and was about to take Jiang Lian away, but the next second, the girl turned to Ji Mianzhu and asked him with a smile if he had a match.
Ji Mianzhu: ? ? ?
The face of Jiang Lian next to him suddenly sank, even bigger than his own reaction when he was approached.
When Ji Mianzhu was slightly at a loss, he grabbed Ji Mianzhu's wrist and wrapped the slender wrist bone like an iron hoop. The occupant's gesture was facing the wild bees, waves and butterflies in front of him, and his voice was stern:
"He said he doesn't need it, don't you understand?"
After speaking, Jiang Lian grabbed Ji Mianzhu's wrist and took the person away from there. . It wasn't until he reached a secluded place that Ji Mianzhu calmed down and thanked Jiang Lian in a low voice.
In fact, it's not that he hasn't been approached before. Given the conditions before he wore the book, he encountered a lot of such things, but the situation of being surrounded by a group like the one just now was a bit difficult and shocking.
But... Ji Mianzhu unconsciously glanced at Jiang Lian's back. Jiang Lian, whom he has always regarded as weak and pitiful, has such a strong side just now? It really surprised him. Probably because he was in a hurry to help him get out of the siege, that's why he spoke so sternly, which in a sense just proved that Jiang Lian's feelings for him were not bad. Ji Mianzhu thought about this, and couldn't help showing a little warmth in the corners of his eyes, letting Jiang Lian pull his wrist to avoid the pedestrians.
It wasn't until everyone around him disappeared that Ji Mianzhu twitched his wrist slightly.
"Okay, Jiang Lian, they're all gone."
Jiang Lian ruthlessly closed his eyes where Ji Mianzhu couldn't see them, burying the terrifying mania of destruction in his eyes until they disappeared completely. No, he turned his head to look at Ji Mianzhu.
"Call me A Lian." Jiang Lian pursed his lips, and he paused word by word, as if he was talking about some demagogic spell. "It's more convenient, isn't it?"
He eagerly wanted to hear this affectionate address from Ji Mianzhu's mouth. He eagerly wanted to use it to imprint an invisible brand on the relationship between the two, and he also eagerly thought. .....turn Ji Mianzhu into his own.
He clearly knew that he had been stimulated a little, and he also understood that as soon as he said this, something changed faintly, but what did it matter? His purpose was now clearer than ever.
Jiang Lian stared at Ji Mianzhu, with a frenzy in the depths of his eyes.
Ji Mianzhu was of course happy to see this happen, and when he saw this, he simply shouted:
"A Lian."
Jiang Lian heard the words, and suddenly felt a clear mind, and the manic-depression in his heart was greatly reduced. He curled the corners of his lips, making no secret of his pleasure, and took Ji Mianzhu's wrist without a trace.
"Well, I still want to go to Uncle Zhou."
