I failed again

When Qi Anyan told Qi's father that he was going upstairs and would call him again when it was time for dinner, Jiang Ruoyuan called 996 to end the broadcast and he didn't watch what happened next.

After all, it's just dinner and rest, nothing should happen.

As he was thinking this, Jiang Ruoyuan's stomach suddenly rumbled, and he realized that he hadn't eaten anything since morning.

Jiang Ruoyuan rolled over on the bed. What should he eat?

Before he could figure out what was going on, his cell phone rang. Jiang Ruoyuan reached out and took it. It was an unfamiliar number with no notes.

After thinking about it, Jiang Ruoyuan answered the call, thinking it was a sales call, but unexpectedly, a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Want to have lunch together?"

It was Bai Ci. Jiang Ruoyuan sat up from the bed, "Ah huh?"

Bai Ci on the other end of the phone repeated it again in a good-tempered manner.

"No..." Jiang Ruoyuan glanced at the time, "It's already past one o'clock, you haven't eaten yet? It's not good to have such an irregular diet."

I chose to ignore the fact that I hadn't eaten since this morning.

Bai Ci was silent for a moment, then asked, "Did you eat?"

Jiang Ruoyuan watched Qi Anyan and the others for the same amount of time, and knew that he had not eaten lunch. Since he had not eaten either, he booked a restaurant and kindly called to invite him to have lunch together.

As a result, he actually lectured me instead.

Jiang Ruoyuan touched his nose and said with a guilty conscience, "Which restaurant? I'll go there now."

Bai Ci gave a string of addresses and then hung up the phone. Jiang Ruoyuan picked up the car keys, went out and drove over.

When I arrived, Bai Ci was already waiting there.

Bai Ci only told the waiter to serve the food when he saw Jiang Ruoyuan arrived.

In the previous world, the two were roommates during college. Although they were at odds with each other on the issue of carrying out missions, they were the only two from the same hometown in that world, so their relationship was still good when it didn't involve missions.

They often ate together during college, so Bai Ci knew Jiang Ruoyuan's eating habits very well. The dishes ordered this time were basically Jiang Ruoyuan's favorites.

Jiang Ruoyuan asked curiously while eating, "Hey, why did you suddenly ask me out for dinner?"

Bai Ci picked up a piece of chicken and put it in Jiang Ruoyuan's bowl, saying, "In the last world, I ate with you for four years in college. I'm used to it. It's hard to change it for a while."

After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Ruoyuan to say anything, he suddenly changed the subject and asked, "How is the progress of your mission?"

Hearing this, the rice in Jiang Ruoyuan's hand suddenly lost its fragrance. He swallowed the meat in his mouth and choked up, "I think I can leave this mission world early..."

Bai Ci raised his eyebrows. Is he so confident that he can complete the task ahead of schedule?

Then he heard Jiang Ruoyuan continue, "...go back and get struck by lightning."

Bai Ci: ...He is overthinking it.

"You don't know..." Jiang Ruoyuan stopped eating and complained to Bai Ci, "They actually signed the contract two months in advance. I thought that if Qi Anyan hadn't seriously injured Xie Zhixuan in the hotel yesterday, there would be no such thing as this contract..."

"In the end, I was too relieved too early. They have just reached an agreement and are just short of signing the contract... I estimate that they will sign it tomorrow... And I..." Jiang Ruoyuan paused, "I came up with an idea, but it's not easy to implement!"

Bai Ci could naturally guess what Jiang Ruoyuan's idea was, which was to reveal Qi Anyan's identity to Xie Zhixuan before the two of them developed any feelings for each other.

However, Jiang Ruoyuan was afraid that it would bring disaster to the Qi family, so it was not easy to implement.

Bai Ci felt that Jiang Ruoyuan was a little silly. If he were in Jiang Ruoyuan's position, he would have revealed Qi Anyan's identity to Xie Zhixuan without hesitation, instead of hesitating here.

After all, as long as he can complete the mission and get a chance to survive, it doesn't matter to him what happens to other people, especially those who have nothing to do with him.

But he didn't show it, instead he pretended not to know, "Why is it so difficult to implement the law? Let me tell you."

Jiang Ruoyuan told Bai Ci all his thoughts. At the end, he asked with a sad face, "You are smart, have you come up with any solution to satisfy both parties?"

Bai Ci shook his head and said, "No. There is gain and loss, and I can't say anything about your mission..."

Jiang Ruoyuan glanced at him and interrupted, "That's not what you said when you advised me to give up the mission and not cause trouble for you in the last mission world."

Bai Ci: ...

Bai Ci held his forehead and said, "The last world was a special case. You see, I didn't advise you to give up the mission in this world."

Jiang Ruoyuan chuckled twice and didn't say anything else.

After all, his purpose was not to blame Bai Ci. If he were Bai Ci, in the previous world, he would also persuade the other party to give up the mission.

I say this now simply to scold Bai Ci.

Bai Ci continued, "However, I have to remind you that we have to successfully complete five missions to have a chance to revive. You have failed in your last mission, so this is your second mission."

"If this fails too, you'll have to complete one more mission. Besides, mission failure is not without cost, you'll also be struck by lightning." Bai Ci said gently, "Do you want to be struck by lightning again?"

Jiang Ruoyuan shook his head instantly. He really didn't want to experience the feeling of being struck by lightning a second time.

For a moment, Jiang Ruoyuan was a little shaken.

Bai Ci let Jiang Ruoyuan struggle with his thoughts without disturbing him, and picked up the chopsticks to eat the food.

It took Jiang Ruoyuan a long while to come back to his senses and slowly exhaled a breath. He decided to eat first before thinking about these things.

When the time comes, I will go back and ask Qi Anyan indirectly whether he has the ability to protect the Qi family if his identity is exposed. If so, he will do it without hesitation. If not, ...

He could only think of other ways.

The next day, Qi Anyan was woken up by his brother early in the morning. After breakfast, Qi Yuchen drove Qi Anyan to the group headquarters to work.

While waiting for the traffic light, Qi Yuchen turned to look at Qi Anyan who was drowsy in the passenger seat and shook his head helplessly.

I hope he will be more energetic when we get to the headquarters.

After arriving at the headquarters, Qi Yuchen parked the car and was about to wake up Qi Anyan. As soon as he stretched out his hand, before he could touch him, he was grabbed by Qi Anyan. At the same time, Qi Anyan opened his eyes and looked at him with murderous eyes, which scared Qi Yuchen.

Seeing Qi Yuchen, Qi Anyan's consciousness broke away from the dream, loosened his hand, and said calmly, "I had a nightmare."

I just had a dream about what happened a few years ago when I was on a mission with Jiang Yuan and was being chased. I felt someone approaching in a daze, and my body was faster than my brain, so I took action immediately.

I hope my brother can believe his nonsense.

Qi Yuchen looked down at his wrist. The place where Qi Anyan had grabbed it was already red, and was slowly turning blue and purple.

Qi Yuchen rubbed his wrist. When he was captured by Qi Anyan just now, Qi Anyan was so strong that he felt that his wrist was going to be broken in the next second.

"Hiss...how come you are so strong?" Qi Yuchen sighed. He did not ask Qi Anyan what kind of nightmare he had. His intuition told him that it must be related to the past ten years when he was missing.

Qi Anyan took a look, feeling a little guilty, and said, "Go to the office and find some safflower oil to rub it on. I think you should have some in your office, right?"

Qi Yuchen said, "There are only some cold medicines. Who would keep these in the office for no reason?"

Qi Anyan asked very kindly, "Do you want me to buy it for you?" After buying it, he asked someone to help deliver the medicine, and he never came back.

Qi Yuchen saw through his thoughts at a glance, "Don't think about it, I'll ask Secretary Zhou to buy it later, just go to work honestly."

Qi Anyan silently opened the car door and got out. After Qi Yuchen got out of the car, he came to him and asked, "Brother, you haven't told me what my job position is."

Qi Yuchen was stunned for a second, and murmured, "...Didn't I...tell...you?"

Qi Anyan blinked, "Ah? Is that so?" He lost his memory?

Qi Yuchen suddenly remembered that he went to see Qi Anyan last night just to tell him about the position he had arranged for him in the group.

However, because Xie Zhixuan's special assistant Zhang suddenly came to visit, he was so focused on worrying about Qi Anyan that he forgot to tell him.

If Qi Anyan hadn't suddenly mentioned this, I might not have realized that I forgot to tell him.

Qi Yuchen coughed awkwardly and said, "It's not too late to tell me now. I'll assign you to the Finance Department and you'll be the deputy manager there. If you have any questions, you can just ask me or your manager."

Qi Anyan nodded to indicate that he understood.

Qi Yuchen continued, "I'll let Secretary Zhou take you around the headquarters so you can get familiar with it."

Qi Anyan paused, tilted his head and asked, "Isn't he going to buy medicine for you?"

Qi Yuchen said, "I can take you around after buying the medicine. You can go to my office to rest first."

"Okay." Qi Anyan replied.

The two of them talked as they walked towards the elevator. The employees who came to work looked at Qi Anyan following Qi Yuchen and began to whisper to each other, discussing who that person was and why he was following President Qi.

Qi Yuchen's office is on the thirteenth floor, and the secretariat is also on this floor.

After getting off the elevator and walking towards Qi Yuchen's office, Qi Anyan could always feel the curious eyes hiding behind the computer screen looking at him with inquiry.

Just a moment ago, the news that Qi Yuchen brought someone to work together spread throughout the headquarters group.

Everyone is guessing Qi Anyan's identity.

The people in the secretariat knew a lot. They knew that Qi Yuchen promoted the former deputy manager of the Finance Department, but had been slow to arrange for someone to take over the position, as if he had reserved it for someone.

And today he brought someone to work, which made it hard not to think too much.
