Chapter 8

Yan Ruizhi didn't speak immediately, but He Nian was probably in a hurry, so he didn't mind at all, and waved his phone at him: "Let's go!"

It wasn't until the driver drove over that Yan Ruizhi stopped thinking about this issue.

What happened in the new year should not have much to do with him.

Yan Ruizhi got into the car with a normal expression and asked the driver to drive to the hospital.

He wants to visit his friend who is about to be discharged from the hospital first, and pick him up for a meal. If there is nothing urgent after the meal, he will go home and deal with his work emails. If he has more time, he can also try the game deo that the planning team initially made. .

Yan Ruizhi was planning clearly when the originally quiet cell phone vibrated suddenly.

He Nian sent a photo. In the photo, he was sitting on the lawn of the park with a snow-white Samoyed in his arms.

[Reasonable: [picture]]

[Reasonable: Mr. Yan, this is my family's Xiaowangcai! 】

In the photo, each person and dog are smiling brightly. Back then, their hair was shorter and they looked brighter.

Yan Ruizhi's fingers stopped on the screen.

But soon, the message from the other party came again.

【Reasonable: Don't be angry】

[Reasonable: I just want to see if you delete me]

Yan Ruizhi was a little helpless, and wanted to really delete him, but also felt that He Nian was actually quite interesting.

Not to mention Samoyeds are cute.

He thought for a moment, and then replied.

[Sharpness: If you post any more nonsense, delete it. 】

This time, after 1 minute, the other party sent another photo of Xiao Wangcai, and edited a line of small words on the photo: "Then posting the picture is not nonsense, right?"

Yan Ruizhi was overwhelmed by his method of exploiting gaps, did not reply, and locked the phone calmly.

But in the end it was not deleted.

It was completely dark when Yan Ruizhi arrived at the hospital.

The hospital at night was much quieter than during the day. Yan Ruizhi found the ward of Gastrointestinal No. [-], just opened the door, and saw Hao Shuai already leaning on the shelf in the nurse's station chatting with someone, obviously recovering well.

Seeing Yan Ruizhi, he called out his name impassionedly: "My good brother! Sure enough, you still brought me special products!"

"..." Maybe it was because he had been with He Nian before, but now Yan Ruizhi didn't leave on the spot with a cold face, but just looked at him speechlessly.

Hao Shuai also wondered: "Hey, your patience has become higher."

"How about it? Since you brought me special products, did you go to that old shop?" Hao Shuai took the special products he was thinking about and asked casually, "That's right, you definitely won't queue up, pretend I didn't say so."

Unexpectedly, Yan Ruizhi nodded: "It's okay."

Hao Shuai's eyes became even weirder: "Why do you come back from a business trip and I don't even know you anymore? I'll go to this occasion next time. I'm afraid that you will become a different person after a few times."

"Mr. Hao, is this your friend?" asked the nurse who was chatting with Hao Shuai.

"Yes, come to pick me up for dinner." Hao Shuai seemed to be familiar with the entire nurse station, "Is there no liquid today? Then I will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."

"After the drainage tube is pulled out, you should also pay attention to the surrounding situation. The doctor will tell you the details tomorrow when he goes to work. You still have to go back to the ward today. If the night shift finds out that you are not here..."

"Don't worry! I'll be back after dinner!"

Yan Ruizhi watched him make jokes with others, Hao Shuai was afraid that he would get tired of waiting and quickly ended the topic: "Let's go."

The two sat down in a very quiet restaurant, and after ordering, Yan Ruizhi looked at Hao Shuai who was texting the bed next door, and said calmly: "Isn't three days in the hospital enough for you to exude charm? Do you want to come back?" Stay longer?"

"I call it adding vitality and vigor to the hospital." Hao Shuai said nonchalantly, "After all, I haven't stayed in the hospital a few times, so I have to experience it for myself."

Yan Ruizhi lowered his head to drink the soup: "Oh."

"Hey, why are you still like this? I've gotten to know nurses these days, but I've heard a lot of wonderful stories and gossip."

Yan Ruizhi put down the bowl: "Not interested."

Hao Shuai has long been used to Yan Ruizhi's appearance, and continued to share what he has seen in the past few days: "The ward I stayed in has a lot of mild cases, but I heard from Sister Liu that there are many severe cases in the gastrointestinal one downstairs. , There was a big rescue a few days ago..."

Yan Ruizhi's movements paused: "Is it the day I came to see you?"

"You saw that too?"

"No, I met a blood donor." Yan Ruizhi said.

"Oh, I heard from Sister Liu that the person seemed to be quite young. He suddenly deteriorated when he was in his 40s. He had a specialist consultation that day and was finally rescued. Now he has been taken to the ICU. I don't know what happened. Sample."

Yan Ruizhi felt that he was thinking a little too much. Seeing New Year in Gastrointestinal No. [-] did not mean that the other party was related to this patient whose name he didn't even know. Maybe he was just helping out like that nurse.

"Okay, why don't you tell me about your business trip."

"I just showed my face, there is nothing to talk about." Yan Ruizhi said.

"Do you still think that Jingxing is not kind? We don't care about the internal affairs of the company..."

"I know." Yan Ruizhi's tone didn't fluctuate.

"But to be honest, Jingxing can get up so fast. Although there are reasons for its strength, the investment is indeed indispensable." Hao Shuai knew that Yan Ruizhi didn't like to talk about this, but he couldn't hold back, "After all, Fengjin is behind him. Group, now the surname is He, both openly and secretly!"

Yan Rui didn't react for a while: "Hey?"

Hao Shuai understood when he saw his eyes: "Look, you don't even know this, He Ruiyang, the boss of Fengjin, if he hadn't been willing to invest money, the valuation of Jingxing might never get up. .”

It was only after being reminded by Hao Shuai that he remembered: "A little distracted."

"However, He Ruiyang's family is very powerful," Hao Shuai said with emotion as a mobile news library, "His parents are academicians, his wife is a pianist, and other relatives are also famous people, that is, his son It is so well protected that the outside world has never been able to spy on the news."

Yan Ruizhi was not interested in this kind of gossip at first, but probably because of his surname, it was rare for him to listen more seriously today.

As soon as he thought of the young man who was going to be a tutor after getting off the plane, he felt that his association was somewhat ridiculous.

I would actually think about this kind of thing.

He Nian didn't find him in the next few days, and Yan Ruizhi didn't care, after all, if there wasn't that accident, they wouldn't have had much to do with each other.

The progress of the project was smooth, Yan Ruizhi became busy, and spent two days in the cubicle of the office.

On this day, the art style and story frame of the second game were finally settled. Hao Shuai made the decision in place of the unkind boss. He gave half a day off to the employees who had been tired for half a month, and booked a restaurant for dinner as a reward. staff.

When he announced the news, Yan Ruizhi was pushing the door to come out of his office, and the cheers that were originally cheering were cut in half in an instant.

"Then, do you want to go with Mr. Yan today?" An employee in charge of market operations asked.

"I won't spoil everyone's happiness, just let Hao Shuai go with you." Yan Ruizhi said, looking at the employees in front of him.

Game technology companies are generally younger, and some enthusiastic employees said: "Mr. Yan won't come, and the dinner party always feels that there is no appearance."

Yan Ruizhi was noncommittal: "Then shall I treat everyone to afternoon tea?"

Hao Shuai has no airs in front of the employees, but he knows his character, if he goes, he will always make people feel hard to let go.

"it is good!"

"Thank you, Mr. Yan!"

The atmosphere became heated again, Yan Ruizhi didn't interrupt, and called Liang Xiaoyou: "Come count the cakes and coffee according to the number of people."

"Okay, Mr. Yan!" Liang Xiaoyou responded, "Then how about buying the one downstairs for convenience?"

"It's all right."

There is a coffee shop downstairs in their company, which is small in scale but of good quality.

"Then what do you want, Mr. Yan?" Liang Xiaoyou asked him.

"No need, just drink."

Liang Xiaoyou was ordered to do the statistics. Yan Ruizhi heard the jubilant atmosphere outside the door, and leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed.

Not long after, Liang Xiaoyou finished counting the number of people and varieties, and asked a colleague to go downstairs to get them together.

Because of the half-day holiday, the whole company became active.

Hao Shuai pushed the door open and came in, seeing Yan Ruizhi sitting upright at the desk, he said with emotion: "Mr. Yan, you should rest for a long time anyway, you don't have to work so hard."

"Isn't this an order you gave on my behalf? Did I agree?" Yan Ruizhi said without looking up.

"I'm trying to let employees combine work and rest! I've worked hard!" Hao Shuai argued.

Yan Ruizhi looked at him a little funny, and reminded: "Then remember to eat something light when you go out for dinner tonight. I don't want to see someone go to the hospital because of this the next day."

"How is that possible! It was an accident!" Hao Shuai said unconvinced, "But you really don't want to go?"

Yan Ruizhi said "hmm": "You can go. If I go, they probably won't be able to speak loudly. Since you have talked for a long time, let them relax."

Hao Shuai knew he couldn't be persuaded, so he could only sigh: "Okay. You don't feel bored if you follow the steps every day by yourself."

"Fortunately."

"Honestly," Hao Shuai looked at him worriedly, "You really don't plan to find someone..."

"No need." Before Hao Shuai could finish speaking, Yan Ruizhi interrupted.

"I can't always talk to you." Hao Shuai's tone was a little worried.

"Aren't you happy every day?" Yan Ruizhi asked back.

"I'm—"

Before Hao Shuai finished speaking, he heard a sound from outside the door.

When Liang Xiaoyou and his colleagues came back from buying afternoon tea, Hao Shuai opened the door to get coffee. Seeing Liang Xiaoyou, he was panting with a big paper bag of cakes: "The order is too big, we called the clerk downstairs for half of the coffee. Send it up together, it should be here soon—"

The door was not closed tightly, and Yan Ruizhi heard that the employees were already dividing the cake, mixed with a few small talk.

"There's a new kid from the coffee shop downstairs!" Another employee said excitedly, "So tall and handsome!"

Hao Shuai poked his head out to join in the fun: "Who called me?"

There was laughter outside the door.

"Is it okay?" Hao Shuai let them finish laughing, but still asked, "Do you want me to help?"

"No need," someone said, "it's already delivered."

Yan Ruizhi didn't hate this warm atmosphere, but he didn't intend to blend in, so he said to Hao Shuai at the door: "Go out and close the door."

Just as the other party agreed, Yan Ruizhi had already withdrawn his eyes and was about to continue working, but he heard an overly familiar voice.

"Hi, is this your coffee?"

"Yes!"

"I brought the QR code, who is paying?" The clerk's voice was very polite.

"This way!" Before Yan Ruizhi could speak, Hao Shuai waved over there.

"Okay, then I'll take it first..." The voice followed Hao Shuai's movements and approached, then swallowed the rest of the words.

"Mr. Yan?" Although there was a questioning tone, the words were very straightforward.

"..."

Yan Ruizhi finally looked away from the computer.

How much is a bit outrageous.

He thought silently in his heart, and answered a syllable coldly on his face.

"Hao Shuai, close the door." Yan Ruizhi said to the person at the door.

Hao Shuai deserved to be Hao Shuai, when he heard the word close the door at this time, he walked over and quickly closed the door - and he stayed inside.

"You guys know each other?" he said gossipingly.

Yan Ruizhi ignored him and just looked at the person in front of him.

"Mr. Yan, I work here." He Nian said with a smile, wearing a shirt with the store's logo on it, a brown apron on his body, and two bags of coffee in his hand.

Although working during the Lunar New Year has nothing to do with him at all, the coincidences in the recent period are too dense, Yan Ruizhi frowned.

The other party seemed to have seen through Yan Ruizhi's thoughts, and said with a good temper: "I also think it's a coincidence."

"Which cup did you order?" He Nian asked.

"I didn't order it." Yan Ruizhi rubbed his brows with his hand, "Bring me the QR code."

Hao Shuai was in the air for a while, and couldn't help but want to interrupt: "How do you know each other?"

He Nian turned around and said politely, "I have attended Mr. Yan's class before."

"..." Yan Ruizhi frowned again.

While talking, He Nian brought over the QR code and said a price.

Yan Ruizhi didn't know what to say, so he paid with a sullen face.

I knew I would order coffee delivered by a takeaway.

... What if the delivery guy is celebrating the New Year? ? !

Such a terrifying idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

He took a deep breath: "Then why don't you have class today."

"I told the store manager to come back when there is no class." He Nian answered all questions like an obedient student.

Unmoved, Yan Ruizhi transferred the money: "Then you can go back to work."

"Okay." He Nian put away the QR code, and said to Yan Ruizhi, "By the way, Mr. Yan, because the consumption amount has been reached, the store will also give you a free drink. Do you want it?"

Yan Ruizhi simply didn't want to talk to him, and waved his hand: "Let's talk."

"I just go to class tonight, you can also send me a message in advance to tell me."

Hao Shuai's eyes widened when he heard it, his body movements were extremely rich, and his eyes wandered back and forth between Yan Ruizhi and He Nian.

Yan Ruizhi's temples twitched, while He Nian said with insight: "Then I'll go and do it first."

If it wasn't for someone in the office...

When Lunar New Year left, the professional ethics of the coffee shop staff said: "I wish you a pleasant meal!"

"..."

As soon as the door was closed, Hao Shuai rushed in front of Yan Ruizhi.

"It's not right!" He let out a thoughtful sigh, "Although this scene is not special! But! It's not right!"

Yan Ruizhi is too lazy to talk to him now.

In the New Year, you can go wherever there is work, right?

He closed his eyes, and inexplicably filled his mind with some pictures of New Year's greetings doing other jobs.

New Year's delivery of food, New Year's delivery of express delivery, New Year's sales...

He shook the images out of his mind.

However, Hao Shuai was not reluctant, and was still looking at him with great interest.

Yan Ruizhi sighed.

"Forget it, if you really don't want to say it..."

"There's nothing to say."

Yan Ruizhi raised his eyelids and looked at him: "Do you remember the joke I made you a month ago?"

"The one with gastroenteritis?" Hao Shuai has an excellent memory in this regard.

"Correct."

"Oh, you seemed to be saying...you were accosted, and then that person drugged you while you were sending me off, and then a college student helped you out, and then..."

Halfway through the recollection, Hao Shuai didn't say anything, and looked at Yan Ruizhi in shock. After a while, he finally choked out two words: "Damn."

"Yes, it's true."

"I look at this child as if he is quite simple... Oh no, so you are still in touch?" Hao Shuai's eyes sparkled, "Could it be that you—"

"Put away those dirty thoughts of yours." Yan Ruizhi said coldly, "It's just that we met a few times later."

Now that he had spoken, there was nothing to hide, so he simply told almost everything that happened before.

"By the way, the restaurant he wanted to invite me to eat at that time was the one where you developed appendicitis later on," Yan Ruizhi said nonchalantly, "Then thank him for having no money at the time, otherwise I might be the one who went to the hospital."

However, Hao Shuai didn't care about his good brother making fun of his appendicitis anymore. After a long time, he could only say two words: "Damn."

"So this relationship is neither awkward nor embarrassing now." Yan Ruizhi concluded.

After finishing speaking, he was frank: "Okay, what else do you want to ask?"

"But why do I always feel that he is interested in you." Hao Shuai is an outsider, so he can see it more clearly.

"That's his problem," Yan Ruizhi said calmly, "it has nothing to do with me."

"Then why didn't you delete his WeChat?" Hao Shuai grasped the point.

"..." Yan Ruizhi said coldly, "I don't chat anyway."

As soon as he finished speaking, his phone lit up.

[Reasonable: Mr. Yan, you accidentally transferred five yuan more (*^▽^*)]

Yan Ruizhi's lips tightened.

"Oh, so..." Hao Shuai will not only focus on the key points, but also draw inferences, "So you said that Beijing Bank does not arrange accommodation for interns because he is in Beijing Bank?"

"..." Yan Ruizhi stood up, "I'm off work."

"Hey--"

No matter how Hao Shuai yelled behind him, Yan Ruizhi's heart was as cold as a stone, and he didn't look back at all.

Yan Ruizhi walked out from the entrance of the company building. He didn't drive today and planned to call a car.

The coffee shop opened directly downstairs from the company, Yan Ruizhi took a deep breath and walked in anyway.

"Hi, what would you like to drink—"

It was the same familiar voice, polite, gentle and humble.

Yan Ruizhi went to the order table.

"Mr. Yan, are you here?" He Nian greeted him, "Would you like to try our signature Australian white..."

Yan Ruizhi looked at the smiling face: "No need."

"Then do you want anything else?" the well-trained clerk asked kindly.

Yan Ruizhi moved his lips and ordered coldly.

"Green tea latte."
