The two of them got up and went downstairs. They sat on the sofa in the living room and looked at each other.

Liang Ran endured it for a long time, then rubbed her stomach and whispered, “Mr. Ji, I’m hungry. When will we have breakfast?”

Ji Xuan nodded. “Kitchen is over there.”

“Ah?” Liang Ran was dumbfounded. She pointed at herself in disbelief. “You mean I cook?”

“Or?” Ji Xuan raised an eyebrow.

Liang Ran took a deep breath. “Mr. Ji, are you serious? I’m not here to be your nanny. Besides, why don’t you find a maid capable of cooking?”

Ji Xuan replied, “I usually have breakfast at the company, so the maid only comes to cook dinner in the afternoon.”

Liang Ran slightly opened her mouth, and after a moment she asked with a smile, “Is there any place to eat nearby?”

Ji Xuan said, “What do you think?”

Liang Ran said, “…Then what should we do?”

Liang Ran was really hungry.

“You cook,” Ji Xuan said as if it were obvious.

Liang Ran shook her head firmly. “No, I’ll burn the kitchen to the ground.”

Ji Xuan was speechless. “Liang Ran, don’t forget that I’m the one who’s paying. You can’t expect me to pay and work at the same time, right?”

Liang Ran deeply felt that he was right. She stood up and went to the kitchen, but was at a loss. She opened the fridge, and there were a lot of ingredients, but she didn’t know where to start.

Liang Ran took out her phone and searched for a few cooking videos based on the available ingredients.

First, she should wash the rice and cook it. This was too simple. There was no need to search for videos.

Ji Xuan thought of what Liang Ran had said about burning the kitchen and was a little worried. He followed her to the kitchen door and saw that Liang Ran was washing rice with detergent.

Ji Xuan was speechless.

He couldn’t stand it anymore and took over Liang Ran’s work. He didn’t forget to complain, “Idiot.”

Liang Ran pursed her lips. Since she had gotten a bargain, she had to be well-behaved. She smiled and praised, “Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Ji. You are really omnipotent. You can handle everything from the meeting room to the kitchen, and can even fight off gangsters.”

Ji Xuan was speechless again.

Liang Ran didn’t like to stay in the kitchen and said to Ji Xuan, “Then continue to work hard, Mr. Ji. I won’t be an eyesore here.”

She was about to leave when Ji Xuan got unhappy and stopped her. “Wait, stay in the kitchen and watch. If you know you’re useless, then watch and learn.”

Liang Ran did not dare to disobey Ji Xuan’s words. She looked at Ji Xuan silently.

Ji Xuan was not as chaotic as she was. He washed the rice, washed the vegetables, and even stir-fried the vegetables in an orderly manner.

A focused man was the best looking. Whether it was working or cooking, it was all the same. An unbelievable thought popped up in Liang Ran’s mind. How nice would it be if she had met Ji Xuan under normal circumstances?

This thought startled Liang Ran. Even if the Liang Corporation did not go bankrupt, she would not have had any interactions with Ji Xuan. Besides, if she wanted to know Ji Xuan, Ji Xuan might not want to know her.

Liang Ran scolded herself in her heart.

Ji Xuan didn’t cook anything too complicated, just some home-cooked dishes, and the tastes were actually not bad.

After the meal, Zeng Hui got someone to deliver the share transfer agreement. Liang Ran carefully read through every clause before signing it.

“I’m going to the company this afternoon. If you don’t go out, stay at home. There will be a maid coming to cook for you,” Ji Xuan said to Liang Ran.

Liang Ran put away the share transfer agreement and quickly said, “I’m going to the company too. By the way, Mr. Ji, what position can someone with 20% of the shares hold in the company?”

Ji Xuan looked at her, his eyes deep and his tone calm, “At least a deputy general manager. You do know how to calculate.”

Liang Ran pursed her lips and smiled. Regaining lost shares was an essential step. After all, the more shares she held, the more say she had. With her original 10% and the shares she acquired from Zeng Hui, she now held 20%.

“I’ve said it before. Your 10% still belong to you. I won’t take it.”

She wasn’t surprised that Ji Xuan saw through her plan. Ji Xuan was too smart, and she couldn’t hide anything from him. But as long as she didn’t go against him, he wouldn’t actively seek trouble.

Ji Xuan raised his eyebrows and did not say anything else.
