However, since Du Anran was here, how could Xie Chenjin let her go? He grabbed her arm and brought her to the people who were playing basketball.
At first, a sharp-eyed woman shouted as if she had discovered a new world. "Aiyo, President Xie just went out for a while and already brought a beauty. "
Half of the people present knew du Anran. As expected, someone walked up. "Isn't this Miss Du? "
Du anran squeezed out a smile. "Hello, President Zhang. "
Not many women knew Du Anran. Soon, someone asked, "Miss Du? Which Miss Du? "
"Be more polite to Miss Du. " Xie Chenjin smiled at the crowd and said, "she's my friend. "
"President Xie, it's rare for you to be so concerned about a girl! " A woman pouted and said, "friend? On what level? Ordinary, or in a relationship? "
"We're just ordinary friends, " Xie Chenjin explained.
However, it was fine if he didn't explain. As soon as he explained, everyone laughed.
"Oh, we understand! " The crowd laughed loudly as if they knew what was going on.
"I just met President Xie not long ago, " Du Anran added.
Some of them knew that Du Anran was Xin Zimo's ex-girlfriend. They also knew that the Xin and Xie families had been incompatible recently. Xin Zimo's ex-girlfriend and Xie Chenjin were good friends. It could not help but cause people to daydream.
"since we are all friends, then don't be shy. Let's play together! " A woman held du Anran's hand.
Xie Chenjin looked at Du Anran helplessly and said, "I'm not the one holding you back this time. "
Du Anran knew that she could not afford to offend the people here, but she really did not like golf. This kind of Man's game. She said, "I don't know how to play, you guys play. "
"If you don't know how to play, you can learn, Miss Du. President Xie likes to play golf very much. If you learn from President Xie, your skills will be superb. "
"No need. I'll watch. You guys play, " Du Anran repeated with a perfunctory smile. In fact, she had already scolded Xie Chenjin several times in her heart.
"Take it! " Xie Chenjin handed a club to Du Anran.
Du Anran refused, "I don't like it! "
"Miss Du, President Xie is inviting you. Give him some face. " A woman urged Du Anran and whispered into her ear, "President Xie is a person who cares about his face. "
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, du Anran had no choice but to take the club. Because he said he didn't know how to play, Xie Chenjin patiently taught her.
From holding the club to how to hit the ball into the hole, Xie Chenjin taught her in detail and thoughtfully.
The other bosses' women could not help but feel jealous when they saw this. One after another, they said angrily, "director Yang, you don't even want to teach me how to hold a cue stick. Look at Director Xie! "
"That's right, that's right. Director Pang, you only know how to let me watch. When are you going to be as patient as director Xie... "
The bosses' ears were getting sore from all the noise. They walked over to Xie Chenjin and said, "Director Xie, look at US women. We're all envious and jealous. Why don't you teach them all at the same time! "
Xie Chenjin aimed at the ball hole in front of him and said with a smile, "that won't do. Miss Du will be angry. "
Du Anran really wanted to kick Xie Chenjin. What did he mean by that? It was obvious that he wanted the others to laugh at him.
Sure enough, everyone laughed ambiguously. Du Anran did not want to lose her temper in public. She could only Pinch Xie Chenjin a few times when others were not paying attention. Xie Chenjin's face turned green from the pinching.
Not long after, Du Anran left Xie Chenjin. "You have fun by yourself. Have Fun. I won't play with you anymore! "
"where are you going? Aren't you looking for Shaonan? " Xie Chenjin said goodbye to everyone and followed Du Anran out.
"I am indeed looking for Shaonan. "
"How are you going to find him? "
"I will ask his other friends. " Du Anran was still angry.
How could Xie Chenjin let her go? He dragged her to the parking lot. His Bentley was parked among the many luxury cars, but it was still so eye-catching that Du Anran recognized it immediately.
"I will bring you to look for him! " Xie Chenjin thought that he probably had too much free time.
"No need to trouble you, President Xie! " Du Anran shook his hand away. "I don't dare to trouble you. "
"You're angry with me! No matter what, Shaonan is my friend. " Xie Chenjin stood in front of the car door and smiled.
"If you really have the heart, then let's split up and look! "
"WHY DO WE HAVE TO SPLIT UP? It's a waste of resources and will lead to repeated work. Why don't I drive you? You can just tell me where Shaonan often goes. Isn't that enough? "
Without waiting for Du Anran to agree, Xie Chenjin shoved her into the car, closed the door, and started the car.
Du Anran looked at Xie Chenjin and felt that what he said made sense. She said to him, "then let's go to the news agency first. "
"Okay, you can try calling again. "
Seeing that Xie Chenjin was still cooperating, du Anran took out her phone and dialed Jin Shaonan's number. However, as Liu Wanwan said, Jin Shaonan's phone was turned off.
"It's still off. Has Shaonan really not contacted you recently? " Du Anran asked.
"I haven't seen him since my birthday last time. Why would I lie to you about something like this? " In fact, Xie Chenjin vaguely knew a little, but he did not continue.
"You'd better not lie to me! " Du Anran warned.
"Do you think I'm afraid of you? " Xie chenjin smiled awkwardly.
"You, President Xie, aren't afraid of anything. Why would you be afraid of me? " Du Anran laughed at him.
Xie Chenjin only smiled and did not continue arguing with Du Anran.
Because it was Saturday, there was almost no one in the newspaper office building. After du Anran got off the car, she went directly to the front desk in the lobby of the building.
"May I ask if President Jin came to the building today? "
The front desk attendant shook his head. "It's Saturday today. I haven't seen President Jin. "
"when was the last time you saw President Jin? "
The receptionist recalled for a few seconds. "President Jin left the building at noon the day before yesterday, and I have no memory of him. "
"okay... Thank you. " Du Anran returned to Xie Chenjin's car ...
"How was it? " Xie Chenjin asked.
"Let's go to his apartment and take a look! " Du Anran said.
For the convenience of going to work, Jin Shaonan bought his own small apartment near the newspaper office. When du Anran lived in his house, he had thought about moving back, but after du Anran left, he didn't go back much.
Xie Chenjin turned the car around again and drove to Jin Shaonan's apartment.
"I don't think it's possible that Shaonan is in his apartment, " Xie Chenjin said.
"Then, give me some clues. Where would he go? " Du Anran had never seen Jin Shaonan disappear for a few days, so he wasn't a cynical person.
"He's not very familiar with city a, right? "
"Yes, Shaonan hasn't been in city a for long. " Du Anran nodded.
"Then, the places he has been to, and even the places he likes, can be counted on one hand. If we go to these places, we might be able to find something, " Xie chenjin suggested.
"I. . . Don't know where he likes... " Du Anran lowered her head, feeling a little ashamed Jin Shaonan treated her so well, but she didn't even know where he liked ...
"If he likes you, then he will naturally like the places that you like, " Xie Chenjin said coldly, his tone filled with dissatisfaction.
This was the first time Xie Chenjin mentioned that Jin Shaonan liked her in front of Du Anran. For some reason, he felt a little strange.
Du Anran thought for a long time and finally said lightly, "let's go to the seaside square! "
Xie Chenjin glanced at her and sighed. He did not go to Jin Shaonan's apartment, but drove the car to the only seaside square in City A.
The more the car drove to the seaside, the fewer people there were. The seaside square here had not been developed on a large scale, so there were almost no tourists. Only a few couples would come to play.
As the car drove steadily forward, Du Anran recalled the last time she came here. At that time, she drove here by herself. Jin Shaonan gave her a big surprise when she was at her saddest and saddest.
Although she had failed him in the end, she had never truly loved him... ...
The sound of the waves hitting the rocks gradually came, wave after wave, deafening. The white waves hit the beach and sent the seaweed to the beach. The air was filled with the smell of the sea water.
The seagulls chirped and flew in the sky, sometimes circling and sometimes diving, bringing a sense of visual beauty.
This was indeed a very good place.
Du Anran thought of the scene that day again. It seemed to still be vivid in her mind, but unfortunately, the world had changed.
The ring that Jin Shaonan gave her had long been taken away by Xin Zimo, but the warmth he left her was enough to comfort her for the rest of her life.
She could never fall in love with him, so she could only let him down.
Xie Chenjin parked the car by the seaside. In the whistling sea breeze, Xie Chenjin already saw Jin Shaonan sitting on a rock.
He seemed to be unaware of the cold of the sea breeze. He just sat there quietly, like a statue.
Jin Shaonan never smoked. He did not have that hobby, but today, du Anran saw the cigarette in his hand. Du Anran's heart ached. She did not know what he had experienced... ...
Did she hurt him to the bone... ...
The Sea breeze blew up a corner of Jin Shaonan's coat, and the cigarette smoke disappeared abruptly... ...
Xie Chenjin did not get out of the car. He looked at Du Anran and said, "Shaonan looks depressed, you go! "
Du Anran bit her lip, opened the car door, and got out.
Because Jin Shaonan had his back to them, he did not notice that Du Anran was here. When du Anran walked to the Rock beside him and sat down, he was a little surprised.
"Why are you here... " Jin Shaonan still smiled. Although it was very light, his voice was also very ethereal.
"I'll sit with you. " Du Anran also smiled.
She reached out and snatched the cigarette from Jin Shaonan's hand. In fact, she saw that Jin Shaonan's eyes were choked with tears, but she did not know if it was all because of the cigarette... ...
She threw the rest of the cigarette into the sea and said angrily, "don't learn this bad habit! "
Jin Shaonan smiled. "If you don't allow me to smoke, then you, as a girl, shouldn't drink in the future. "
"okay, I'll try not to drink in the future. You have to promise me that you won't smoke again! "
