Ode to joy

Chapter 12

But when she was lying on the bedside reading a book until she was dazzled and fell asleep, Singularity never appeared on the Internet, so she had to turn off the phone and go to sleep resentfully.

Fan Shengmei went to drink coffee with her old classmates after dinner.The old classmate's surname is Wang, and his name is Wang Baichuan.Fan Shengmei talked with Wang Baichuan all night and the result is that Wang Baichuan is unmarried and has a small success in his career. He is currently planning to come to Haishi to develop his business, and hopes that his old classmates will come and visit often.However, Fan Shengmei sensitively digs out the familiar eyes from Wang Baichuan's high school days.Therefore, Fan Shengmei felt particularly good that night, she was in high spirits on happy occasions, and Fan Shengmei's words were witty and charming.

After the coffee was finished, it was already dark, Fan Shengmei reservedly bid farewell, Wang Baichuan got up to see him off, saying that he drove here by himself.Of course, Wang Baichuan added: "It's not as good as the car driven by your friend, please don't dislike it."

"How could it be? It's not that I drive a good car. I don't know how to drive yet. I can't learn."

"Some people say that to look at a person's hole cards, you only need to look at his friends. Fan Shengmei, you are doing well in Haishi, I admire you."

"Hehe, my friend just likes a car. The one you saw is Xinhuan. A few days ago, I loved the same brand of sports car. It's white and more stylish."

"Oh, rich girl?"

"No, people rely entirely on their own abilities. As for returnees, they are not the returnees who were forced to go home by the financial crisis, but the kind who were invited back by people in a sedan chair. They have a top-notch brain. Although they are blind, they can rely on rote memorization. Looking at the map, I didn’t even see her getting lost.”

"You are the same, you are also very good. I can't think of seeing you in ten years. You look better than I thought."

Fan Shengmei smiled slightly, neither negating nor affirming, calm and calm.She walked out of the elevator with Wang Baichuan and arrived in front of Wang Baichuan's car.It is a BMW, and Fan Shengmei recognizes this mark. "Wang Baichuan, you are still modest, you are already a BMW."

"Three-series, entry-level, nothing. After the three-series BMW is made in China, poor people like us have the opportunity to own a BMW. The price is only one-tenth of your friend's car." Wang Baichuan was still very modest and courteous. Open the door and let Fan Shengmei sit in.At this moment, Fan Shengmei felt that sitting in the car was more comfortable than Andy's.She looked at the old classmate holding the hem of the suit and turning the car, feeling very strange in her heart.

Of course, she used the excuse of being too late to refuse her old classmates to send her to the Ode to Joy community.The old classmate reluctantly told Fan Shengmei at the gate that he came this time just to explore the way and get in touch with colleagues, and he already felt good after a few days.Unexpectedly, meeting Fan Shengmei was even more surprising.It's a pity that he has to go back tomorrow in a hurry. He hopes to get Fan Shengmei's help when he comes to Haishi to develop.Of course, Fan Shengmei boldly gave three words, "one word".Then, under the watchful eyes of her old classmates, Fan Shengmei walked gracefully into the gate of the community on high heels.When turning back, the old classmate's car was still there.Fan Shengmei waved the shawl in her hand, feeling very proud and happy.Even though the night was as cold as water, she didn't feel cold anymore, and the shawl was useless at all.

Room 2202 was unusually lively on Monday morning.First, Guan Juer went out for a run sleepily.Before Guan Ju'er left, Qiu Yingying got up ping pong pong, thinking about what happened last night, she was so angry that she was so hot that she lay on the bed like pancakes.It's just that she heard the sound of Guan Juer next door, so she postponed the process of getting up a little bit, she didn't want to see Guan Juer, she couldn't forgive Guan Juer and Qu Xiaoxiao for lying to her together, but she didn't want to quarrel early in the morning, Only staggered wake-up times.Instead, Fan Shengmei, who was always the first to wake up, became the last to wake up.

Fan Shengmei was in a great mood, as bright as the sun at noon.Seeing Qiu Yingying, she shouted: "Xiaoqiu, good morning. I came back late last night, so I didn't disturb you."

"It's not noisy, but I was not asleep at the time, so I heard it."

Only then did Fan Shengmei notice Qiu Yingying's slightly red and swollen eyelids. "What's the matter, you two came back to fight last night? Tell Sister Fan, there is Sister Fan."

Qiu Yingying puffed her cheeks, but she still wanted to speak.Fan Shengmei encouraged: "It's just the two of us, you'll feel better if you tell Sister Fan to share the burden for you."

Qiu Yingying sighed, and was about to speak, when she suddenly thought that Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer had been together the night before yesterday, it was impossible for Qu Xiaoxiao to tell Guan Juer but not to Fan Shengmei, according to Qu Xiaoxiao's character, the more The happier people know Qu Xiaoxiao is.In other words, Fan Shengmei is also a member of the deception group.Qiu Yingying swallowed the words, said leisurely, "There are no good people in Hongdong County", and walked away indifferently.

Fan Shengmei stared at Qiu Yingying's back, and asked, "About me?" Qiu Yingying ignored her, went into the bedroom, and closed the door.Fan Shengmei wanted to get to the bottom of it, but time was not allowed in the morning, so she had to give up and hurriedly washed up and went to work.I came back too late last night, didn't get enough sleep, and my face was a little swollen.

When Guan Juer came back from training, seeing Qiu Yingying treated her coldly, she kept silent.I wanted to apologize, but then I thought that she is right, there is no need to apologize, and she has suffered so much nagging and complaining yesterday, she feels wronged.

As a result, the atmosphere in 2202 froze to freezing point.

On the contrary, Qiu Yingying was happy not long after she walked out the door.Supervisor Bai was waiting for her at the same spot, not only waiting for her, but also giving Qiu Yingying a box of eight donuts for breakfast, as well as an affectionate promise that he would never do anything like a surprise in the future. Ask for instructions and report later to avoid misunderstanding between each other.Even if Qiu Yingying had doubts, they disappeared at this moment.

In the crowded subway car as usual, Qiu Yingying was still tightly squeezed into Director Bai's arms by people from all directions.Director Bai lowered his head at the right time and said to Qiu Yingying, "We are inseparable, forever."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Qiu Yingying's whole heart melted, she agreed loudly in her heart, all the unhappiness in the morning was forgotten, and she strengthened her love and trust for Director Bai in her heart.

Andy checked the computer during breakfast, and finally saw that Singularity replied, but the reply time was 2:36 in the morning.

The nightlife is colorful enough.Singularity points out that one of the restaurants has good food, and he will make a reservation. To enter the restaurant, just ask Mr. Wei to make a reservation. Against AA, he treats guests.From this moment on, Andy began to look forward to lunch at 12:00 noon.

Tan Zongming held a morning meeting with Andy to study the details of the work.At noon, Tan Zongming thought it was logical to have lunch together, but Andy had another date.Tan Zongming was surprised. Andy didn't have many Chinese friends, and it could even be said to be few and far between, and he had even fewer friends in China. friend."

"Netizen." Andy felt very embarrassed to say it, so he added: "In order not to degrade Chinese, I have to go to domestic websites to practice my pen."

Tan Zongming couldn't help laughing, "Netizen? Hehe, netizen. Do you want to be your bodyguard? I heard that seeing netizens is very dangerous."

"So it shouldn't be a problem to choose lunch, a public place, and a meal. And I didn't leave my mobile phone number."

Tan Zongming still laughed fiercely, thinking that it was incredible for such a rigorous person like Andy to meet netizens. "By the way, don't drive the car, it's easy to be targeted."

"I've thought about it a long time ago." Although Andy said so, she did the same thing, but she had an inexplicable trust in Singularity in her heart.She feels that this kind of trust is irrational and has no logical basis, so she chooses to ignore it.When she went to the restaurant, she didn't bring her bag under consideration, only her mobile phone, credit card, and a few hundred dollars in change.As soon as I said in the restaurant, "Mr. Wei has reserved a seat," the person who took the seat immediately said that Mr. Wei had just arrived.She went in with the lady in charge, and she finally saw the singularity.

And Singularity also felt the movement, and looked up to see Andy.The two faced each other in astonishment.Before sitting down, Andy decided to ask, "Singularity?"

Singularity got up, not tall, thin, almost bald!Wearing glasses, he looked quite old, as if he was in his forties. "It's me. Are you Andy? Finally see you, please sit down."

Andy was a little disappointed, this image was very different from what she had imagined.The only thing that is about the same is a pair of glasses.But she still sat across from each other.And Singularity has continued to smile and said: "It seems that I guessed correctly. Before you returned to China, I always thought that you were the same gender as me. When you returned to China and saw your attitude on the issue of eating, I had overturned my previous thinking. Like it What to eat, agree to treat me today."

Andy said bluntly: "But you still look surprised when you see me."

"This... You might get angry if you say it. Girls in science and engineering are generally called dinosaurs. This is a joke. Don't take it seriously. Although I guessed the gender correctly, I didn't guess the others correctly."

"I was wrong about this, I thought you were about my age, and you can't mix science fiction..." Andy shrugged and stopped, "I'm not familiar with Chinese food, can you order? I have one and a half at noon It's okay to be a little late."

"You're very direct. Do you have a favorite taste?"

"Meaty ones, big meaty ones are the best, there are no taboos."

Singularity laughed even more, with wrinkles at the end of his eyes.Andy looked at the singular point of ordering food, and thought, is this the legendary strange uncle who messed around with the Internet?The singularity in front of her eyes erased a lot of the goodwill she had accumulated in her heart for so many days.

Qidian quickly ordered the food, and then said: "I mainly read the news online, and there are only two communities where I hang out, and the other is bridge. Do you know bridge?"

"know a little."

"You should be good at bridge, unless you don't want to use your brain. I shouldn't be much older than you, but the market has been difficult in the past two years, and people are very worried. You see, my hair is so gray that I have to shave my head. I Do foreign trade, how about you?"

Singularity speaks unhurriedly, and the words are mixed with the familiarity from this year's network communication, which makes Andy feel very weird. "I work in this area, finance. I have really worried about it for the past two years, but fortunately, I won't put too much pressure on myself. You seem to be judging me all the time."

"It's not like it seems, but it's certain. But I'm frank and honest. If the judgment is wrong, please deny it."

"Why? I feel uncomfortable being judged by you."

"Hehe, I won't talk about it. Well, the cold dishes came out quickly, including seaweed, octopus, and sauced duck."

"Sauce duck, I like it. Can I tear it with my hands? I have never used chopsticks since I was a child, but I grew up with a spoon, so I am not used to chopsticks."

"Anything you want, you can eat whatever is convenient, we are not a business place."

"You must have a new judgment in your heart, heck, let's talk about it, I feel even more uncomfortable if you don't tell me."

"This time, really not." But Singularity changed the subject, "Business trip tonight? It seems that your new job is on track. It's fast and not easy."

"Go to Hong Kong to meet a few colleagues. It's about the same job, nothing new, and it will be taken over quickly. You have been troubled by the appreciation of foreign exchange recently."

"Yes, I don't dare to accept large orders or long orders. Even if I accept large orders, I must add an item. After the delivery time exceeds how long, the contract price will be determined according to the exchange rate. And it is becoming more and more difficult to do simple trade. Thinking about transformation. So it’s been busy for a while. But if you’re new to Haishi and need help, just tell me.”
