Su Ran struggled to get up from the ground, eyes wide open, staring at Xu Tianna who looked "astonished", gritting his teeth and saying: "Come here, let me teach you a lesson!"
"What's wrong?" Xu Tianna pretended to be innocent and looked at Su Ran and asked softly.
Su Ran laughed in anger: "You imprisoned me here for a whole day, and you still asked me what's wrong? The more you pretend not to know, the more shameless I think you are!"
"Don't talk nonsense." Xu Tianna said coldly, then bent down to change her slippers.
Su Ran forced his weak legs and staggered towards Xu Tianna, grabbing her arm with the last bit of strength, and roared: "Why did you lock the door today?"
"Security doors should be locked, this is common sense." Xu Tianna responded calmly.
"I'm still in the house, don't you know?" Su Ran was so angry that he felt dizzy. He raised his hand and slapped his forehead heavily, trying to maintain his rationality and ask.
Xu Tianna shook her head gently and said, "I don't know. I thought you had left first."
"Okay, even if you didn't know I was in the house, why did you take the key to the door while I was sleeping?"
"What's wrong with taking the key to your own house?" Xu Tianna asked back with a cold face.
Su Ran felt his blood rushing up, his head getting more and more dizzy, and he asked again: "Well, let's not talk about the key for now, how do you explain stealing my cell phone battery plate?"
"Who stole your battery plate? When I took the key yesterday, I accidentally knocked your cell phone off, and maybe the battery plate rolled under the bed. The light was not on at the time, and I couldn't see clearly, so I just installed the back cover."
"Damn it, you are so deliberate and interlocking to mess with me, leaving me powerless to fight back!"
Xu Tianna smiled and said: "To use your previous words, meeting me is your destiny. Think about it, in the vast sea of people, the probability of you and I meeting is very small, and the probability of me locking you in the house after meeting is even more like a fairy tale."
"Are you admitting it?" Su Ran widened his eyes.
Xu Tianna said coldly: "So what if you admit it? You can call the police and say that I illegally imprisoned you. However, you must be ashamed to speak up, after all, you are a man and I am just a woman. Moreover, you are the landlord of this house. How can a landlord be imprisoned in the house by a tenant? Even if you go and tell them, the police will not believe it." Xu Tianna once again hit back at Su Ran with his past words and deeds. Su Ran was furious, but he was speechless for a while. After a long while, he finally said: "You... You are a female hooligan, a devil, a goblin! How can such shameless behavior of yours be worthy of your beautiful face? "
Xu Tianna was not moved by Su Ran's anger at all, and still looked calm: "These words should be kept to yourself. If it weren't for what you did before, I wouldn't have fought back now."
"But your revenge is too cruel! You locked me up for a day, and I couldn't make calls. The company will definitely misunderstand me. This is worse than absenteeism. If I'm not careful, I will lose my job!" Su Ran blushed and said anxiously.
Xu Tianna stared at Su Ran, silent for a long time, and then asked in a calm tone: "You said so many things, aren't you hungry?"
Before she finished speaking, Su Ran's legs softened and his stomach "gurgled". He was so angry that he felt dizzy again. He instinctively put his hand on Xu Tianna's shoulder, swallowed hard, and said, "Help me go downstairs to eat noodles with soybean sauce. I want the biggest bowl."
In the noodle shop downstairs, Su Ran installed the battery pack on his mobile phone and turned on his mobile phone with trepidation. In an instant, dozens of text message notifications sounded like thunder, all of which were missed calls from Lu Chen and Chen Jingming.
Su Ran threw the phone aside in annoyance and glared at Xu Tianna, who had a calm face opposite him.
Xu Tianna stood up and was about to leave, saying, "I've sent you here, you can have your meal by yourself."
"Sit down, this matter is not over yet! You just heard the text message alert tone, all from the company, what do you think we should do now?"
Xu Tianna's face finally showed a trace of guilt, and she whispered, "I always thought you didn't have a proper job, but I didn't expect..."
Su Ran was speechless for a moment, thinking that it was really hard to believe that she had a proper job based on her previous appearance, so she patiently said, "Even if my job is not proper, I still have to follow the organization's discipline. Haven't you seen the beggars in the underground passages? They gather every day to count the number of people and divide the begging areas."
Xu Tianna was silent again for a moment, and asked, "I did not consider this matter carefully, tell me, how do you want me to remedy it?"
Seeing Xu Tianna's attitude soften, Su Ran became a little embarrassed. In fact, the bottom line is that he had gone too far before. Xu Tianna was just instinctively fighting back after being bullied. As the CEO of a shopping mall, how could she not have a temper?
After thinking for a while, Su Ran said, "I don't want to embarrass you. You just need to call our leader and explain why I couldn't go to work today. As long as you can keep my job, I won't pursue the fact that you locked me in the house for a day."
"Can't you explain it yourself?"
"If my explanation is useful, why bother you?" Su Ran rolled his eyes at Xu Tianna.
"It seems that you have deceived your leader a lot. Just give me the number."
Su Ran was speechless after being embarrassed by what Xu Tianna said. She coughed awkwardly and handed Chen Jingming's phone number to her. Xu Tianna dialed the phone immediately.
Su Ran was secretly curious in his heart. He didn't know how Chen Jingming would react when he knew that the caller was the CEO of Zhuomei, but he also understood that Xu Tianna would definitely not mention this matter when she talked to Chen Jingming, and he could only think about it in his heart.
The other end of the line seemed to be connected, and Xu Tianna said, "Hello, is this Manager Chen? I am Su Ran's roommate, and I have something to explain to you. When I went out today, I accidentally locked Su Ran in the house, and his mobile phone broke down, so I failed to notify the company in time. I would like to express my deepest apologies to you."
Although Xu Tianna's words were polite, her tone still revealed the majesty of a person in a high position.
Afterwards, Xu Tianna talked to Chen Jingming for a few more words, and then handed the phone to Su Ran, saying, "Your manager wants to talk to you."
Su Ran took the phone and hurriedly said, "Manager, you just heard it. It was unexpected that I couldn't go to work today."
Chen Jingming's tone was angry, but he asked helplessly, "Is it true?"
"If I lied, God will strike me with lightning! For this matter, why would I find someone to lie to you? I, Su Ran, have always been daring and responsible, and never lied." Su Ran responded confidently, and he did not lie this time.
"Forget it, this time it will be treated as an accident. You come to the company early tomorrow to discuss with Lu Chen, and this plan must be completed efficiently."
"Don't worry, I will go to the company early tomorrow morning."
After ending the call with Chen Jingming, Su Ran called Lu Chen again to explain, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the noodles with soybean paste were also served on the table. Without saying a word, he picked up the bowl and gobbled it up, eating two large bowls in a row until he couldn't hold it anymore.
Su Ran wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth with a tissue, and said to Xu Tianna, who was forced to stay by him: "You just told our leader that we are roommates?"
Xu Tianna guessed his intention and immediately denied it: "This is forced by the situation, otherwise how can I explain this to your leader?"
"Oh, it turns out that you can also make up lies to get away with it." Su Ran teased.
Xu Tianna rolled her eyes at him and said nothing more. Su Ran looked at her, thinking to himself that although the storm had come to an end for the time being, the dispute between him and Xu Tianna would probably not be resolved. How should they deal with it in the future? Xu Tianna was also thinking about the same question. The two of them had their own thoughts, and in this slightly awkward atmosphere, they were silent. Only time was quietly flowing, waiting for the next story to begin.
