An Ran stepped on the brakes, parked the car in the designated parking space steadily, took a deep breath before getting out of the car, and then went to the designated place.

The office on the [-]th floor is the office of the president of An's Group. It has a huge area. An's is a company that uses creativity to give it competitiveness. The design of every place in the company is so ingenious and unforgettable.

An Ran walked to the reception secretary at the front desk, "Hi, I'm from the Chu Group, and I'm here today to talk to Mr. An about the cooperation case."

"Oh, good lady, please wait a moment, Mr. An is in a meeting now, you can sit over there now."

The lady at the front desk politely took An Ran to the bench beside her. An Ran silently recited the words she had prepared in her heart. An oil painting of a panda family, on which there are two giant pandas, one male and one female, accompanied by two smaller pandas.

The four pandas were playing happily in the bamboo forest. An Ran looked at the oil painting with emotion and murmured, "I didn't expect that you are still here."

When An Ran was about to reach out to touch the oil painting, she was stopped by the assistant just now.

"Hey, miss, you can't touch this."

An Ran turned around and smiled apologetically, "I didn't intend to touch, I just wanted to get closer."

The assistant was very fond of this smiling lady, so she couldn't help explaining kindly, "This oil painting is related to the story in our president's house. It is said to be..."

"I know." An Ran interrupted the assistant's unfinished words, with a hint of sadness and melancholy in his eyes, which made the assistant unable to bear to continue.

"You know, this is our president's family business, how do you know?"

When An Ran was about to explain, she saw a person out of the corner of her eye, "Mr. An."

That person naturally saw her too. He was a tall and handsome young man with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses hanging from the bridge of his nose. It seemed that this person seemed a bit unhuman.

"An Ran, are you the person sent by the Chu family?"

The assistant saw that the relationship between the two was so familiar, so he stepped aside to do his own thing wisely.

"It's me. I'm here to talk to you about the cooperation case that was shelved by our two companies last week."

"Okay, come with me."

An Zhe nodded, and after explaining something to the secretary behind him, he took An Ran into his office.

In fact, when An Ran came here, she still had a little bit of expectation in her heart, whether the relatives she hadn't seen for a long time would send more greetings to her, but the facts proved that she thought too much.

An Zhe is an out-and-out workaholic. Sometimes An Ran feels that her workaholic appearance is actually a gene inherited from the family, but it is obvious that An Zhe's workaholic level is much higher than hers.

"Come on, let's talk about the plan."

An Ran told all the things he had prepared before he came, An Zhe turned the pen from time to time, and asked a few sharp questions.

"Okay, that's about it. Since the contract has no problem here, I'll go back first."

When An Ran got up, An Zhe stopped her.

"Any thing else?"

An Zhe put away the stern smile just now, and showed some smiles that belonged to his brother.

"Why, are you angry with me, and talk about business when you come?"

As soon as the other party's tone softened, An Ran was defeated immediately, "How did this become my problem, I don't know when it started, who was the first to talk about business when he came in."

Anzhe spread his hands helplessly, "Okay, it's my fault. Stay for a while, I asked the secretary to prepare some food you like, I don't have a meeting in the afternoon, stay here, brother has something to say to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the secretary came in with two exquisite pastries and a pot of tea. The rich bergamot black tea and the light matcha mille-feuille were a perfect match.

"You still remember that I like to drink this brand of black tea."

An Ran lowered her head and took a sniff, then slowly put the black tea into her mouth, her mouth lingering fragrant.

An Zhe watched An Ran's movement of drinking tea without turning his eyes, and suddenly saw another person drinking tea, thinking about it a lot, he couldn't express his distress.

"Why didn't you talk all of a sudden?"

An Ran put down her glass and looked at An Zhe who was suddenly quiet.

"An Ran, tell me honestly, how are you doing in the Chu family recently? Did those people surnamed Chu make things difficult for you?"

An Ran shook her head, feeling a little dissatisfied with his hostile rhetoric.

"Why do you talk like that? Everyone treats me very well, not like what you said."

"Really, An Ran, how many times have I told you, don't trust others so easily, you are not experienced in the world, you are easily deceived by others, you know?"

Hearing An Zhe's remarks, An Ran suddenly felt a burst of unknown anger.

"Please, I am already a woman who is almost 25 years old, and I already have my own independent thinking. Can you stop treating me like a child?"

"An Ran, no matter what time has passed, you are still a child in my eyes."

An Ran turned her head away, and was really upset to be said so by an elder she had always admired.

"Really, since you are my parent, have you done what a parent should do?" These words suddenly brought out some unbearable memories that belonged to the elders many years ago.

"An Ran, don't be willful!"

An Zhe raised his voice, as if trying to stop his sister from speaking out.

"I'm willful, why am I willful? Anzhe, not everyone is like you, you'd better recognize this for me."

The aura around An Zhe's body cooled down. This person who was fighting in the shopping malls in his youth is not so easy to provoke, and he can be regarded as someone who has seen big scenes. The sudden burst of aura, even if that person is An Ran , I couldn't help but feel flustered for a while.

"An Ran, have you stayed in the Chu family for so long that you even forgot your own surname?"

"I haven't forgotten! Anzhe, I also haven't forgotten what you did to me ten years ago."

At this point, the atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point, An Ran felt that since this point was covered, there was nothing else to say, An Zhe didn't touch any of the black tea and pastries that An Zhe had prepared for her, and turned around to leave.

Without mercy, Anzhe didn't stop her this time.

An Ran walked with big strides, and suddenly pushed open the door, startling the people working outside, An Ran ignored other people's eyes, and strode into the elevator.

Every face here has changed, it is no longer the group of people ten years ago, after my father is gone, everything has changed.

An Ran thought of what had happened recently, and felt a bit of bitterness in her heart, but no one could say it, because once it was said, the financial and economic circles in this city would be shaken up and down.

But if there is no place to vent her worries, An Ran has no doubt that she will be suffocated. She opened WeChat, found someone who could drink, and sent a message.

"Are you free to come out for a drink, please." The other party's profile picture is a mask.
