sleepless tonight

Chapter 72 The Talkative Driver

"How will I sleep tonight after you wash?" Su Ran took a sip of lotus root soup and gave me a sidelong glance.

"Are you going to sleep here tonight?" I wondered.

"This is my home. I don't sleep here. Do I have to go out and sleep in a hotel?" Su Ran said.

"That's not what I mean, what I mean is, don't you have another place to live, why don't you sleep there?" I explained.

Su Ran's tone was a bit aggressive, but I could only listen. Anyone who did something like that in her room would feel uncomfortable. I did something wrong. It's normal for her to have a temper. She didn't drive me away. Going is already very polite to me.

"It's a bit far away, it's not convenient to go there." Su Ran finished a big bowl of lotus root soup, "Now go to your shop."

"How about I go to the store and get you a new sheet later?" I apologize.

"You have a lot of money?" Su Ran stared at me.

I shook my head: "No."

"That's it, why waste this money?" Su Ran said to me, "Now that I know the remedy, how dare I do such a thing before?"

I couldn't refute Su Ran, so I followed her out. Her Audi A6 was parked downstairs, and I walked over.

"What were you doing in the past?" Su Ran looked at me in place.

"Take a car, isn't this your car?" I looked at the license plate and thought I was looking at the wrong car, but the car was indeed Su Ran's, and the license plate number was correct.

"Can you drive?" Su Ran asked me.

"No." I can't afford a house, or even food, so how can I learn to drive.

"That's it, I can beat it." Su Ran said.

"Don't you know how to drive?" I was a little puzzled, "You're not feeling well."

I thought that Su Ran's aunt came, but this shouldn't affect driving.

"Let you stay up all night and try to drive again after getting up?" Su Ran said, "I don't want to die if you want to die."

I laughed twice, and ran back to Su Ran: "Yes, we can fight."

I stopped a taxi at the gate of the community, and after telling the location, Su Ran leaned on the back of the chair and squinted her eyes. Three hours obviously failed to replenish her sleep, and she was still very sleepy.

"You stayed up all night and drove here in the morning?" I asked Su Ran.

"Don't make noise, let me rest for a while, and call me when I get there." Su Ran didn't answer my words.

She is very tired.

I couldn't help feeling ashamed and even a little scared. Su Ran must have driven here after staying up all night. It was too dangerous. If something happened on the road, the consequences would be disastrous.

She helps me like this, and I still do such nasty things, I really can't bear the word "friend".

My breathing slowed down, for fear of disturbing Su Ran.

Staring sideways at her face, at such a close distance, her eye bags are heavy, even if she squints, her forehead is wrinkled, as if she has encountered something annoying, and she can't let it go in her sleep.

The car stopped, and I gently pushed Su Ran: "Here we are."

She woke up immediately, straightened her hair, and got out of the car.

"Why don't you go to sleep, you can't do this, you are so tired." I persuaded again.

"Lead the way." Su Ran ignored my persuasion.

I had no choice but to walk ahead and take Su Ran to the steamed vegetable restaurant.

The door was closed, and Li Mingzhou had already left.

"This place is a bit out of the way." Su Ran said, "And it's not too big."

"If it's not biased, the area is big, and it's not my turn to take over." I moved a stool for Su Ran, as if I became the owner of the place, "Sit."

Su Ran didn't sit down, but walked slowly along the house. While walking, she also took notes. At some point, she also had a ruler in her hand to measure the size of the house.

After half an hour, Su Ran finished her work without asking me for help.

"I'll show you the picture when I go back later. It should be a success." Su Ran was very confident when she said this, "Have you confirmed the decoration worker?"

"No." I shook my head.

"Then I'll arrange it for you. After the renderings come out, they can start the work. If you hurry up, you can start preparing the decoration materials this afternoon, and start the decoration tomorrow morning." Su Ran said, "Is there any problem?"

Su Ran's high efficiency surprised me: "So fast?"

"Are you so difficult that you want to slow down?" Su Ran looked at me.

"No, of course, the sooner the better, but it's the end of the year, it's not necessarily easy to find a decorator, right? And it's too fast, can the quality be guaranteed? Also, they are responsible for the decoration materials, will there be any tricks? Do you want to follow?" I asked several questions in succession.

"You know a lot." Su Ran seemed to be approving me, with a smile in his eyes.

"I learned a little bit, I searched it on Baidu, and the decoration should be done carefully, otherwise the money will be wasted." I checked some information and read other people's decoration experience.

"So you don't believe me?" Su Ran stared at me a little bit unkindly.

"How come, I believe you for sure, your renderings are very good and professional." I hurriedly said, and I was telling the truth.

I didn't expect Su Ran to be so good at design, even a capable man would be ashamed of himself.

"The decorators are all my people, are you suspicious of them?" Su Ran understood what I meant.

I really doubted those decoration masters: "This is my first time starting a business, and I invested 10 yuan in it. I can't be sloppy. I'd better be careful."

"Then you can follow them to buy materials, or you can set up a bed here and keep an eye on them 24 hours a day." Su Ran suggested.

I looked around. The steamed vegetable restaurant is not big, but there is no problem with setting up a bed: "The bed can be placed, will it affect their construction?"

Su Ran gave me another look and went out.

"Wait for me." I quickly locked the door and followed behind her.

I trotted a few steps and caught up with Su Ran. I sneered: "Since you trust the decorator so much, I trust you too. How much is the cost of the renovation and the materials?"

Su Ran stays up late to help me with things. Since she trusts the decorator so much, I should trust her too.

"One hundred thousand." Su Ran said without thinking.

"Don't be kidding, I'm serious, I'll give you as much as you want, and you also need money for renderings." I said, "You can't make your work for nothing."

"I'm not kidding, the decoration materials are 1 yuan, and the fee for me to help you produce the drawings... If you really want to give it, just [-] yuan." Su Ran said.

I walked a few steps faster, ran in front of Su Ran, and stopped her: "Don't be kidding, can you? How could such a few materials cost [-] yuan? I have money, so you can help me estimate carefully."

"I'm not joking." Su Ran looked at me seriously.

Her expression really didn't look like she was joking: "Is it really worth a hundred thousand?"

Su Ran nodded: "This is still a little, and it may be more if you think seriously."

"One hundred thousand is too much, and I can't afford it." I only have 4 yuan in total, and 2 yuan will be reserved for the daily expenses of the store at the beginning, as working capital.

"Then what are you asking?" Su Ran still looked at me.

"Since we know each other, can't we offer a discount? Also, is your fee for producing renderings too high? It costs 1000 yuan for such a large place. If it is replaced by a house, it will cost tens of thousands of yuan. Already?" I think Su Ran's fee is a bit high, "I've checked this, and it's usually only more than [-] for others to produce a picture, even if you work overtime, [-] is enough."

"Don't you want to give it?" Su Ran asked me.

"Yes, but I can't afford that much money for the time being." I said.

"That's okay. Aren't you the boss? This is my investment capital." Su Ran wanted to join the group.

"This isn't very good, is it?" I was a bit repelled, Tang Wan had already joined the gang, and if Su Ran joined the gang again, I wouldn't be afraid of getting a lot of bonuses, after all, the shop hasn't opened yet, so it's just a little embarrassing to say whether it can make money or not.

"Stingy." Su Ran stopped a taxi.

I opened the front door for her, but Su Ran didn't go in. She sat in the back and moved in. I was a little stunned, and then I also sat in the back row.

"Argued?" The driver smiled kindly, "Husband and wife quarreled, quarreled at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed. With such a beautiful girlfriend, a man should be magnanimous and admit his mistakes."

"He's married." Su Ran said.

"Are you married? So fast, you don't look too old, congratulations." The driver congratulated and was very talkative.

"He's married and his children are in elementary school, but I'm not married." Su Ran said.

"Oh?" The driver responded with a strange expression on his face, and didn't speak anymore.
