Ode to joy

Chapter 13

"Thank you. Now I'm looking for my colleagues to help me. There are four good neighbors who are all girls. We've gotten along very well. I don't seem to have any other needs, so I won't bother you."

"I'm not afraid of trouble. It's my honor if you bother me. It seems that you like sauce duck very much. I will take you to a restaurant that makes the best sauce duck. The store has a factory in the countryside and there are many foods on the menu. Processing in our own factory, the materials used are naturally very particular.”

"Are you so particular about food?"

"Is the last sentence 'Why are you still so thin'?"

Andy only burst out laughing at this point, finally, the familiar feeling came back a bit.Singularity behaved cautiously just now, and she was so depressed that she wanted to leave the meeting early.Fortunately, the two of them became more and more casual afterwards, a bit like talking on the Internet.The dishes were also very tasty, and Andy ate very happily.The only uncomfortable thing is that it seems that Singularity has been watching her.But through the glasses, Andy can't see anything. The city of Singularity seems to be very deep.

When paying the bill, Andy thought of AA, and said with a smile: "I'll treat you this time, and you will treat me next time. I have to make you owe favors. Next time I propose to eat, you won't be ashamed to push back, or you will be in debt." suspected."

Andy laughed, seeing that Singularity settled the bill, the waiter walked away, and then said: "I have a question, are you married? I'm sorry, it's very direct and impolite. In terms of personal communication, I need to be cautious according to this."

Singularity smiled, "No. I like to be direct."

Then Andy took out his mobile phone, made a call to Singularity's mobile phone, and left the number.While Singularity was storing, he got up and left the table with Andy.Andy noticed that the Singularity was not taller than her.Two people are equally thin, about 1.7 meters in height, and put them on people of different genders, the effect will be very different.Singularity is unremarkable.

Outside the restaurant, Andy saw Guan Juer sitting on a rough wooden bench by the side of the road, Guan Juer smiled at her, and there were two of her colleagues beside Guan Juer.Andy introduced Singularity to Guan Juer, "Xiao Guan, neighbor. Mr. Wei, friend." Guan Juer didn't have time to take care of Singularity, but was busy telling her two colleagues lively, "Andy just drops by every day. The neighbors who sent me to work, you can believe it now. Andy, I saw you through the window just now, they were all curious about you, and they must wait here for you to come out. Okay, now I am cleared of my grievances , They all thought it was my boyfriend who sent me to work."

"You said earlier, I'll stop the car for a while and stick out my head to show off. I'll see my friend off."

Guan Juer thought of what Fan Shengmei said that her boyfriend should not be introduced to her best friend, so she took a step back knowingly and let Andy and Singularity go first.She saw the two walking towards the subway, but stopped after a few steps, and separated after a few words.Then Andy went to the company, and Singularity entered the subway.

"Both are so noble." Guan Juer was surprised when he heard his colleague say that. The word "noble" is a bit of ridicule among their colleagues, which means that they have a lot of money and are not low-key.Guan Juer argued: "Andy is not what you said..."

"Xiaoguan, it's because you dare not go to a specialty store. Your neighbor is wearing Armani, the whole suit, last year's model. Our partner's eldest sister bought a suit that was cheaper than that last year, and she showed it off several times. But it's not unusual. , driving that kind of car, one month’s maintenance fee is enough to buy a set. The man’s whole body is more branded, the shirt is PRADA, and the jacket is GUCCI, but he wears it very discreetly, and the matching is even more high-end. But it is understandable, what? When people come into contact with people, they all have circles and levels.”

Guan Juer wondered: "How did you see it, I couldn't see it anyway."

"Hee hee, last time we went back to BJ's for a business trip, we happened to bump into a rare discount on LV. We were happy to buy inside, but you were all alone outside the store. How could you know each other?"

"I can't afford it. It's not as high as your salary. What do you do in those stores? It's so uncomfortable to just look at it and not buy it."

"Your salary will also increase after the internship. Soon, getting familiar with those clothes will not be as difficult as reading the report."

How is it possible, Guan Juer said in her heart, if there is no LOGO, she will definitely not be able to recognize the brand of those clothes, especially the exact year of the style.Her clothes are still bought by her mother for her. They should not be international brands, but she thinks they look good in them.However, Guan Juer thought more about that Mr. Wei, she wondered gossipingly, if it was what Andy mentioned about asking a friend who borrowed a car, no wonder he was covered with famous brands.

Andy was annoyed all the way.She thought, Singularity dressed simply and took the subway, but spent a lot of money for a lunch.That restaurant is not cheap, she should rush to pay the bill, this is too expensive for Singularity.It seems that next time she will take the initiative to offer a treat, and find a better restaurant, and let her pay the bill, otherwise she will have a conscience.

Not long after Guan Ju'er went to work in the afternoon, Li Chaosheng from the next department came over and stood next to Guan Ju'er for a long time by talking about the convenience of his work.Before Li Chaosheng left, Guan Juer already thought that the news that the driver who took her to work was a woman must have reached Li Chaosheng's ears.Don't look at their company being busy from top to bottom, but it doesn't affect the spread of gossip at all.Guan Ju'er still treats Li Chaosheng neither salty nor light, and handles business as usual.I'm so busy, who wants to think about anything else.No, yes, she still has another thought, the biggest need every day, and that is to sleep.

It was night, and the 22nd floor was unusually quiet.Andy was on a business trip, and Qu Xiaoxiao also left a text message to Guan Juer, saying that he was on a business trip to the mainland to visit a potential client and contact him in advance.Until ten o'clock in the evening, there were only Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer who had just returned home on the 22nd floor.Qiu Yingying didn't come back, nor did she call to say anything.Fan Shengmei asked what happened last night, Guan Juer yawned and told him.Fan Shengmei nodded after hearing this, "It's over, Xiaoqiu simply rebelled, retaliated, hated us for betraying her, and wanted to defect to Director Bai's arms. There is no way, people will not be able to get back to this point, I wish you the best of luck. Lucky her."

"But I didn't object before, but now I am very opposed to her and Director Bai. I feel that Director Bai is too worthless."

"But what can you do? If you want to persuade, someone has to listen."

Guan Juer thought about Qiu Yingying's attitude, yes, what can I do if she doesn't listen.She still had an impulse in her heart, which was to tell Sister Fan that she finally met Andy and a Mr. Wei for dinner today, but she managed to restrain herself and not spread gossip, which was the basic principle of life that her father told her.Especially she likes Andy, admires Andy, she has no time to protect Andy.The most important thing is that Mr. Wei is too ugly, even the noble clothes don't set him off well, Guan Juer really doesn't want to gossip about Andy with that Mr. Wei.

▼Hui Hui

Xiaoguan's tutor is good, but the one that doesn't spread gossip is very powerful.

▼omega
Guan Guan and Qiu Qiu are ordinary girls in life.

▼Bubble

A thought popped into my head, what would be the effect if these five people appeared on "If You Are the One"?
▼Eight Injuries Fist
Andy with a high IQ, and Meimei Qu with a superior family background, these two girls are the kind of girls who have inherent advantages, and they can't be envied.On the contrary, it is Fan Shengmei, who has no outstanding advantages. She is an ordinary person. She relies on her own efforts to become a senior HR.

women of joy

I have been a loyal reader of Anai for many years, and I deeply feel the changes and progress in Anai's writing.From an amateur writer who is good at storytelling to a professional person, "The Great River Goes East" portrays characters, explores human nature, and writes about economic system and social changes extremely well.Especially as a female writer, Anai's grasp of the rhythm of the entire article is beyond the reach of many professional female writers, so Anai's novels are magnificent and exciting!Most female writers with good writing skills are like Suzhou gardens, delicate and exquisite, but their logic is messy or anticlimactic.

The last three articles of Anai (Dajiang, Manufacturing, Fragments) are written in three different eras, which belong to the "chronological style". Nai mainly writes about the changes of the times. The characteristics of the times prevail.So for someone like me who went abroad as soon as he graduated from university, he can only appreciate and study, and he has no ability to comment. "Ode to Joy" is dedicated to writing characters. Naida has carefully selected five representative characters, and the story revolves around them.Women are one of the creatures I know best, so I will write some post-reading reflections to add some popularity to Naida.

These few characters in Naida are not bad guys, they are all kind, but they all have their own problems more or less, let us take a closer look:
Xiaoguan——she represents everyone's ladies.Xiaoguan doesn't have much pen and ink, and mostly profiles, but it can still be seen that he has a good background, speaks and acts with a clear mind, and is stable and dignified.The biggest difference between the rich generations and the rich second generation is that those who have been rich for several generations are also smart and know the importance of money, but they know the importance of being a human being and the importance of character.On the other hand, people who have just become rich are prone to unscrupulous and indecent behavior when they see money.

Xiaoqu—she represents the rich second generation.Xiao Qu is also shrewd and capable, but she is vain and mean.

I remember the first time she met Fan Meiren and found someone who was prettier than her, she immediately "gathered all the supplies on Fan Shengmei's table in a blink of an eye", and then "restored her charming smile, with a calm expression on her face light".How vain and mean is this "calm cloud and light wind", because Xiaoqu finds out that Fan is old and has no money, and he is not her opponent, so she is relieved.Apparently, Naida has a good understanding of the rich second generation, so Xiaoqu has all the strengths and weaknesses of the rich second generation. The pen and ink are natural, very vivid and interesting!
Xiaoqiu—she represents Xiaojiabiyu.With a chaotic mind, long hair and short knowledge, it is stupid to just find a big tree to settle the matter.It's no wonder that Chinese men are so slutty, such women are young and delicate, easy to cheat and dump, why not do it?Especially in modern society, there are many temptations, and more and more people want to take shortcuts through men. No wonder domestic mistresses are everywhere, sigh!
Fan Meiren——she represents urban mature women.Fan Meiren is also clear-headed, generous in handling things, full of fireworks, worldly and cute.She is Xiaojiabiyu with an open mind, and she is looking for big trees with superb methods.It's just that in real life, not every mature woman has the beautiful appearance of Fan Meiren. Most of them have gone downhill when their minds are opened. Besides, Chinese men are lustful, and good men are hard to find.But in the text, women can be as beautiful as they want. Only with a character like Fan Meiren can the stories of other characters be interspersed, so such urban elves are indispensable!

Andy——she represents the self-reliant urban gold-collar class.She is perfect, with high EQ and IQ. Except for her rough life experience, which made her feel insecure about love, she has no shortcomings.Andy is an idealized character, Naida can only find some external factors to buffer it and make it natural.In real life, it is not easy for this type of women to find a spouse, one word is difficult!
The women in Ode to Joy have just made their debut, and Naida's ingenious pen will definitely make it a good show, let us wait and see!
