Chapter 158 Another Promotion?
Shen Yuege woke up groggily, feeling that she had slept exceptionally well.
She instinctively wanted to hug the 'blanket' in her arms, but suddenly realized that the feel was wrong.
Why is it so hard and warm?
She slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was a man's leg wearing pajama pants.
Shen Yuege: "..."
She froze, slowly raising her head, her gaze following the leg upwards.
Lu Ran's face came into view; he had his eyes closed and seemed to be fast asleep.
And her own foot was resting squarely on his face.
Shen Yuege's face flushed red.
She knows she's never a still sleeper, likes to sleep with something in her arms, and often spins around in bed, so she always buys a larger bed.
She recalled that when she lived in the dormitory in college, her roommates often complained about her sleeping posture. There was even a time when she almost slept upside down.
But she never imagined that she would be able to sleep with her feet on Lu Ran's face.
She carefully and slowly moved her foot away from Lu Ran's face, her movements extremely gentle, as if afraid that Lu Ran would wake up at this moment.
Then, she tried to get off Lu Ran.
After all, this position is quite awkward.
She was practically straddling Lu Ran, with one leg pressing down on his leg and her upper body wrapped around his other leg.
Shen Yuege held her breath, slowly raised her upper body, and placed her hands on the bed, trying to step over.
Just as she moved her body, her knee accidentally bumped into something—
For a moment, Shen Yuege froze.
Although she was naive, she wasn't an ignorant little girl; she instantly understood what it was.
However, at this moment, Shen Yuege's face turned even redder, so red that it was almost as if it were about to bleed.
She hurriedly quickened her movements and finally managed to roll off Lu Ran.
Finally, after landing safely, Shen Yuege sat on the edge of the bed with her back to Lu Ran, panting heavily, feeling as if her face was hot enough to fry an egg.
Meanwhile, on the bed, Lu Ran, who was pretending to be asleep, was enduring the pain from just now, while mentally ranting:
"Grandma, be gentle! You'll break it! This is crucial equipment that's related to our future happiness!"
"However, that kick just now wasn't smelly at all, it actually smelled nice. But you can't just take advantage of someone's kindness! I, Lu Ran, am a person of some standing. How can I face people if word gets out! Luckily, no one has spread it around."
"But then again, she looks quite cute when she sleeps. It's just that her sleeping posture is a bit too unrestrained. It's a pity I didn't take any pictures to save them."
Shen Yuege, who was already sitting on the edge of the bed, calmed herself down and then secretly glanced back.
Lu Ran was still asleep, and his posture hadn't changed, so he probably hadn't noticed.
She breathed a sigh of relief, tiptoed out of bed, went into the bathroom, and then gently closed the door.
Hearing the door close, Lu Ran dared to open her eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.
He looked down at his Guan Yu and shook his head helplessly: "The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades must still be patient."
The sound of running water came from the bathroom.
Lu Ran quickly adjusted to a more comfortable sleeping position and continued to pretend to be asleep.
If I wake up right now, Shen Yuege will definitely suspect that I was pretending to be asleep.
After a while, the bathroom door opened.
Shen Yuege had finished washing up and changing her clothes, and the blush on her face had faded considerably.
At this moment, Lu Ran pretended to have just woken up, stretched, and yawned.
Seeing that Lu Ran had woken up, Shen Yuege's blush returned, and her expression became somewhat unnatural.
"Awake?" she asked, trying to sound calm.
"Hmm..." Lu Ran rubbed his eyes and sat up. "I drank too much last night, and my head still hurts a little."
"Serves you right, who told you to drink so much with my dad?" Shen Yuege rolled her eyes at him, but there was little blame in her tone.
Lu Ran smiled, got out of bed and walked towards the bathroom: "I'm going to wash up."
As he passed by Shen Yuege, he noticed that her ears were still red.
After Lu Ran finished washing up, the two of them walked out of the room together.
Inside the restaurant, Priscilla Chan had already prepared breakfast. Seeing the two of them come out, she smiled and asked, "How did you sleep?"
Shen Yuege gave a vague reply: "It's alright."
Lu Ran smiled and said, "It's great, the bed is very comfortable."
Chen Huixian glanced at her daughter's slightly flushed cheeks, then at Lu Ran, a knowing smile flashing in her eyes, but she didn't ask any more questions: "Come and have breakfast, your dad has already gone to the company."
While eating breakfast, Shen Yuege kept her head down, not daring to look at Lu Ran.
Lu Ran, on the other hand, was quite natural, chatting about his work schedule while drinking porridge: "By the way, the data for the second episode of 'Those Years, Those Rabbits, Those Things' should be out today, I need to go to the company to check."
"Okay," Shen Yuege replied. "A few newcomers from my studio are also coming for auditions today. I need to hurry over there too."
"Do you need my help?"
"No need, you go ahead and do your thing."
...
On his way to the company, Lu Ran suddenly received a call from Li Mo.
"Lu Ran, have you seen the data?" Li Mo's voice was full of excitement.
"Not yet, what's wrong?"
"It's a hit! A complete hit!" Li Mo exclaimed excitedly. "The second episode of 'That Rabbit' surpassed five million views within two hours of its release! Now the entire internet is talking about it, and we're in three of the top five trending topics!"
Hearing Li Mo's words, Lu Ran wasn't surprised, but still asked cooperatively, "What about Japan?"
"The data for 'Ama-no-Kumara' has stopped growing. I heard they had an emergency meeting, but it seems they didn't have any good solutions," Li Mo laughed. "Your move was ruthless; it was like a dimensional reduction attack. Their special effects blockbuster, which cost hundreds of millions to produce, was crushed by our rabbit, which cost only a few million."
"Content is king, and that will never go out of style," Lu Ran said calmly.
"Oh, right, there's something else." Li Mo's tone became much more formal at this point. "President Li needs to speak with you about something. Come to the company later. But it looks like it's good news; you might be getting a promotion and a raise again."
"President Li? Isn't that you, President Li?" Lu Ran asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Who am I, Mr. Li? I'm talking about Li Deming from the board of directors, the company's vice president," Li Mo explained, while secretly pleased.
"Oh, I see." Lu Ran clearly didn't know the company's senior leaders; the highest-ranking leader he knew was Li Mo.
I have no idea why this vice president wanted to see me.
Are they really going to promote me again?
He was already a director; if he were promoted again, he would be on the same level as Li Mo.
What does Brother Li Mo think about this? What do he think?
