Rowen"s ridicule was mostly due to habit, so for a second, he completely forgot who the object of the ridicule was until Ren Zhoyuan reacted. At that time, Rowen realized that he had a slip of his tongue. He coughed dryly to conceal his own uneasiness, then quickly switched to sentences that spoke well of Russians.
“But there is also a good thing that comes from marrying a Russian. That is, after marriage, they are unswervingly loyal to their wife and kids. Whoever wants to marry a Russian shouldn"t think about wanting to find other people afterwards. On one hand, it is not worth it to be beat up by them; on the other hand, you also won"t find anyone better than them.”
[T/N: Lol I can"t decide whether Rowen is a good wingman or a bad one ahahaha]
Rowen secretly observed the expression of Ren Zhouyuan, and saw that he had listened to his words and was pondering over them. He did not know how much of what he had said was absorbed. This kind of person, after he starts talking, he will never finish, and it was easy for him to let things slip. Hopefully, Ren Zhouyuan"s partially lowered defenses weren"t ruined by Rowen just like this.
Rowen still wanted to say more, but the phone on the desk suddenly rang at this time. He made a gesture toward Ren Zhouyuan and after receiving the call, he entered Leonid"s office.
Ren Zhouyuan was still digesting what Rowen had just said. Towards all the things regarding Russians, his first impressions were not too good. Whether it was Russians, the Russian language, or those who study Russian, they all made him recall that unpleasant memory.
But what Rowen had just said has overturned his usual impression. There is also that man named Alexis, Leonid"s brother. Although he has not seen their family, from what he had just heard, he was already very envious towards them.
Rowen came out shortly after entering Leonid"s office. When Ren Zhouyuan saw him again, he didn"t know why he thought that the way the other"s eyes looked at him seemed a little different. Rowen gave Ren Zhouyuan a gesture that prompted him to enter.
Ren Zhouyuan inwardly took a deep breath, fixed his clothes, then knocked on the door twice before pushing it open and entering. Leonid sat at his desk immersed in a doc.u.ment. Even though he had heard the sound of the opening door, he did not look up. He just pointed to Ren Zhouyuan to sit opposite him. He wanted to finish reading the doc.u.ment first, but it was difficult for him to calm down when Ren Zhouyuan was sitting in front of him. So, after a while, he closed the file and tried to make his facial expression look natural. With a boss"s manner he asked: “Are you used to the work?”
Ren Zhouyuan was a bit distracted and slightly overwhelmed by receiving the favor of his boss on asking how he was. He nodded quickly, “It"s pretty good.”
“That"s good.”
After saying this, the two fell silent again. Leonid was a little uncomfortable so he loosened his tie. With nothing to say, he racked his brain to find something to fill the silence, so he asked a few questions about Ren Zhouyuan"s work again. The latter answered them one by one.
He had tolerated this awkward atmosphere for a long time. In the end though, he still couldn"t hold back. He cautiously asked: “I heard something from the personnel manager. Do you have a son?”
[T/N: Dun dun dun~~~]
Having heard what was said, Ren Zhouyuan face was suddenly painted white. He stared at Leonid in disbelief, and he couldn"t say a word.
Leonid, seeing such a big reaction, was immediately concerned. He quickly waved his hand and explained, “You don"t have to be so nervous. I didn"t pry into your privacy. I just wanted to say that the company has employee benefits for children. As long as your son"s age meets the requirements, he can take cla.s.ses here for free.”
As if he needed to prove himself, Leonid took out a few cla.s.s experience tickets from the drawer. The design above was the same as the ones given to him by Kong Fei.
Ren Zhouyuan"s heart thumped ferociously without stopping. With stiff movements, he reached out to take the experience tickets handed over by the other party with a whispered thank you.
Leonid"s eyebrows lowered when his cell phone suddenly rang. Leonid wanted to hang up on it, but he saw at a glance that the call was from the course supervisor. He took a look at the absent-minded Ren Zhouyuan then stood up.
Initially, he didn"t know what the person at the other end of the phone was saying, but the more Leonid heard, the more his face sunk. During this time, he frequently looked towards Ren Zhouyuan, but he had his head lowered and did not notice it even once.
Leonid let Ren Zhouyuan go out first. He waited for the door to close before he had the other party repeat what he said from beginning to end.
Ren Zhouyuan sat back down in his seat distractedly. His brain had already gotten muddled into a ball.
Leonid had already discovered that he has a son, so had he already seen An An? Does he know that An An… is his son too?
He recalled what just happened. He had been very cautious for so long. Besides the fact that An An was burned while attending the compet.i.tion yesterday, so he rushed over in a moment of desperation; How could he have suddenly been discovered?
No wonder that he was suddenly transferred. There is no such thing as a precursor. If it wasn"t because of what happened yesterday, how could he be suddenly transferred?!
Ren Zhouyuan thought for a long time with a deathly pale face. Rowen sat across from him, so he kept looking at him during all that time. After a while, Leonid suddenly came out of the office looking angry. With such big movements, even Ren Zhouyuan took notice. He lifted his head and looked at him
Leonid"s mouth flattened into a thin line and looked face to face at him. He then hurried back with the same fervor and slammed the door. After two seconds, he yelled loudly.
“Rowen, come here!"
The author has something to say:
Rowen: Russians are really good~ %*(&!¥#
Leonid: En… en en…
Rowen: (after omitting three thousand words), The degree of their love for family is really terrible! You have to be with them until you can"t even get a breath of fresh air! Will die! Really will die!
Ren Zhouyuan: …
Leonid: You shut up!
