Although there weren't many words and the voice was small, as long as you weren't stupid, you could guess something from the manager's roar just now.
Xiaolan isn't exactly smart, but she's definitely not stupid.
Through a few words, she immediately understood what was going on.
It turned out that Lin Yi was lying when he said he had no orders and could rest for a while.
He was worried about me, so he deliberately lied to deceive me.
How could there be rest time during work hours?
I'm such an idiot, I didn't even notice that.
No wonder Shinichi wasn't interested in me, and I only realize it now.
Ran is now very remorseful, and also a little touched, a warm current suddenly 湧上 in her heart.
Subconsciously, she compared Shinichi and Lin Yi.
One was so focused on solving cases that he didn't care about her and completely ignored her.
The other gave up his work and even lied to comfort her.
These two people formed a completely different contrast!
Which is more important is obvious at a glance.
The more Ran thought about it, the more touched she became.
This made her cry even harder.
After Lin Yi hung up the phone, he handed over a tissue again and asked worriedly, "Why are you crying even harder?"
"I... I'm fine."
Ran took the tissue from Lin Yi's hand, wiped her tears and said, "You don't have to worry about me, I'm fine alone... You still have to work, go back."
"I've already asked for leave... It's okay now."
Lin Yi smiled and said, "The boss is very nice. Don't look at how fierce he is when he speaks. In fact, he usually treats his employees very well. He never deducts our wages. Once I was late for work, he didn't say anything, just told me to hurry up and not keep the customers waiting."
"Is that so..."
Ran nodded slightly. She felt that Lin Yi was deliberately saying this so that she wouldn't feel guilty.
"Knock, knock, knock ~ ~ ~"
Suddenly, someone knocked on the coffee shop's glass wall. Ran subconsciously glanced outside the glass wall and saw a middle-aged man standing outside with an unkind look on his face, knocking fiercely on the glass.
Ran was stunned for a moment, not knowing what the middle-aged man was doing.
"Sorry, Ran... I'll go out for a while."
Lin Yi said a little embarrassedly, then picked up the key on the table, hurriedly left his seat, ran outside, and talked to the middle-aged man.
Through the glass wall, Ran couldn't hear what they were saying. She only saw Lin Yi with a "I was wrong" expression, and constantly bowing, his attitude was very humble!!
Seeing Lin Yi like this, Ran couldn't help but be stunned, staring at him in a daze.
Because in Ran's impression, Lin Yi was the kind of aloof person, always with a straight face, revealing a kind of "I don't want to talk to you" aura, only occasionally showing a gentle side in front of them.
However, he is now apologizing to that middle-aged man in a low voice.
He didn't have to do this, but it's all because of me.
If he wasn't worried about me, he wouldn't have put down his work to comfort me.
Thinking of this, Ran felt extremely guilty. She believed that the current situation was entirely caused by her!
Watching Lin Yi hand the key to the other party, Ran knew that she was right, that middle-aged man must be the manager, and the feeling of self-blame became even stronger.
After Lin Yi handed the key to the other party, he also took out an envelope from his pocket and gave it to him.
This made Ran slightly stunned. She carefully looked at the approximate shape of the items inside the envelope. It was rectangular... and quite thick... Money?
And linking it to what Lin Yi had just said to me... those were all lies!
That manager is not gentle at all, he must have a very bad temper!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have deliberately run over to ask Lin Yi for the key, and even embarrassed him in front of so many people!
It's also a lie that the manager never deducts their wages!
He is definitely the kind of black-hearted boss who immediately deducts wages as soon as he finds a small problem with someone!
The envelope that Lin Yi is holding in his hand should be his salary, right?
But... can the salary that has been issued be taken back?
Although Ran hasn't systematically studied law, she has a mobile phone.
So Ran knew that she couldn't just sit there anymore. She immediately stood up and walked outside.
