Chapter 2428: Chapter 2428

He had just finished signing when Ruan Jiaojiao called him, knowing he’d be at the office at this hour.

"Brother Lei, you’re still at the company, right? Help me grab something from Brother Xu’s office," Ruan Jiaojiao said over the phone.

"Mm, what am I getting?" Ruan Lei lifted his head and glanced at Yang Chen behind him.

"An MP3. It should be in the second slot of the drawer on the right side of the desk. It’s new, I haven’t used it yet. I’m planning to give it to Little Li," Ruan Jiaojiao explained.

As she spoke, she couldn’t help but knit her brows, worried there wouldn’t be enough time, and said to Ruan Lei, "Brother Lei, are you busy? If you’re not in a rush to come back, could you help me download some first-year English listening exercises onto the MP3? That listening pack is on Brother Xu’s computer. I didn’t have time last time—can you download it for me, please?"

Qin Li was studying at Qing University’s affiliated middle school. His grades were excellent, ranking first overall, but because he hadn’t studied English back when he was in Xiahe Village, his English score was a bit weaker. So she’d specially bought an MP3, planning to give it to him tomorrow when they met at Ruan Jie’s wedding.

She just hadn’t had time to download those listening materials yet.

"You’re such a hassle." Ruan Lei lowered his head to check the time. That’s what he said, but he still lifted his head and, phone in hand, gave Yang Chen a quick explanation.

Afraid Yang Chen wouldn’t let Ruan Lei into the office, Ruan Jiaojiao said a couple of extra words over the phone, and Yang Chen went ahead and led him into the office.

It just happened to be mealtime. With Ruan Lei coming at this odd hour, Yang Chen had specifically stayed behind to wait for him, and now that Ruan Lei needed to use the company computers to download things, it felt wrong for him to go out to eat.

Everyone else had either just stepped into the working world or were still students. None of them had cell phones, only pagers, so asking someone to bring back packed meals wasn’t very realistic.

Just as he was feeling stuck, his stomach gave a protesting growl. Yang Chen looked over at Ruan Lei, instantly mortified. Ruan Lei was surprised. "You haven’t eaten yet, have you? Don’t worry about me. I’ll leave once I finish downloading. No need to entertain me."

As a game company whose products hadn’t gone live yet, with one game about to launch, they actually had a lot of confidential material. Under normal circumstances they really couldn’t leave outsiders alone in the office. But of course, that didn’t apply to Ruan Lei—after all, the boss himself had told them to let him straight into the office to use the computer and download things. ℯ𝐥.

Yang Chen really was hungry and didn’t insist on staying. Before heading out, he asked, "Mr. Ruan, have you eaten yet? Should I bring you something back...?"

"Don’t worry about me. Go eat. I’ll finish downloading, and I’ll leave once your colleagues get here. They’ve saved dinner for me at home." Ruan Lei waved him off.

Hearing that, Yang Chen finally left with an easy mind.

It was also because their boss had told them beforehand that there was no need to fuss over hosting Ruan Lei, so he went out for dinner first.

He just didn’t notice that as he was going downstairs, a van was parked in a corner not far from the building entrance, and inside the van, a woman was watching this way.

Seeing that Yang Chen had finally left the company too, the woman’s eyes flickered, and she stepped out of the vehicle in high-heeled boots.

By the end of April the weather was already getting warmer. Aside from the slight chill in the early mornings and evenings, two light layers were enough for the rest of the day.

But Luo Ying was only wearing one layer today—a soft rose-red dress. The hem fell just a little above her knees, and on her legs was a pair of knee-high boots. She had a good figure to begin with, and this dress was ABAQUS’s new release for the year, showing off her figure to perfection.
