Chapter 784 A Kind Lie
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ran called Liu Xia and Qiao Xi and asked them to wait at the school gate. The driver would pick them up soon. Then he left the gym, went to the bathroom to take a quick shower, changed his clothes, went out to find Tian Baozhu, and took her and Xiaoying to take a taxi.
After getting off the bus, Tian Baozhu, standing on the roadside, was a little confused because this was the street where she bought clothes before.
"What are you daydreaming about? Follow me." Zhang Ran held Xiaoying's hand and stood there waiting for Tian Baozhu to catch up. Then he continued walking forward and soon saw a store with flower baskets on both sides. It was the Ran Tai Law Firm that opened today.
Tian Baozhu, who was originally walking side by side with Zhang Ran, slowed down her pace as she got closer to the law firm, and gradually began to follow behind Zhang Ran.
Cheng Mingtai, who was entertaining other guests, kept his eyes on the direction of the gate. When he saw Zhang Ran appear, he immediately introduced him to everyone, "This is my partner, Zhang Ran."
Cheng Mingtai helped her introduce the important guests one by one, and Zhang Ran responded one by one.
After dealing with the guests, Zhang Ran reached out and pulled Tian Baozhu over to introduce her: "This is my roommate Tian Baozhu, and two more people are on the way."
Cheng Mingtai immediately handed over his business card: "Nice to meet you, please tell me your last name, Cheng."
"Hello, hello." Tian Baozhu was flattered and quickly stretched out her hands to take the business card.
Zhang Ran took the opportunity to say, "If you have any trouble in the future, feel free to sue him. For my sake, I'll give you a 20% discount."
Tian Baozhu: “…”
"The other two roommates should be here soon. I'll wait for them on the roadside. They don't know the place. You deal with the other guests. Don't worry about me." Zhang Ran instructed Cheng Mingtai, turned around and walked out.
Xiaoying followed immediately.
Tian Baozhu was stunned for a moment, then followed Zhang Ran out.
The three of them stood on the roadside and soon waited for Qiao Xi and Liu Xia to arrive.
Zhang Ran took the two of them to introduce them to Cheng Mingtai again.
Cheng Mingtai presented his business card to Tian Baozhu with the same attitude as before.
Liu Xia took it with a smile.
Qiao Xi did not reach out to take it immediately, but stared at Cheng Mingtai in a daze, "Brother Mingtai, don't you recognize me?"
"Who are you...?" Cheng Mingtai looked at Qiao Xi hesitantly. He did look familiar.
Qiao Xi lowered her eyes to hide the disappointment in her eyes: "I am the little crybaby Qiao Xi." They are from the same compound, and Cheng Mingtai used to love teasing her the most, but he rarely showed up since his father's accident.
Zhang Ran, who was standing aside, looked at Cheng Mingtai on the left and Qiao Xi on the right. He thought that both of them were from S City, Qiao Xi's family background was not simple, and their circle was so small, so it was normal for them to know each other.
Little crybaby? Cheng Mingtai looked at Qiao Xi carefully. There was indeed a crying little girl in his memory. Every time he returned to the compound, he saw her crying. But she was very cute. The more she cried, the more other children bullied her. He even taught those bad boys a lesson, "Girls change a lot when they grow up. You look completely different from when you were a child." Not only did her appearance change, but even her temperament changed.
Soon Luo Youdi, Liu Yufei, Erya and others came to celebrate. Most of them brought flower baskets, which they placed inside as there was not enough space at the front door.
Seeing how familiar Erya and Zhang Ran were, Tian Baozhu in the crowd understood everything instantly. How could there be discounted out-of-season clothes? Everything was just a white lie.
After the party, the driver drove Zhang Ran and the others back to the dormitory.
Lying on the bed, Tian Baozhu was still enthusiastically talking about the delicious food she had eaten in the hotel today, which was the best food she had ever eaten in her life.
