Ode to joy

Chapter 147

Qu Xiaoxiao ran away with great hardships in order to escape Dr. Zhao's parents.Fan Shengmei also encountered a similar problem.On the way home with Wang Baichuan, Wang Bochuan solemnly asked a question, how could the two of them meet with their parents during the Spring Festival holiday. The girls on the 22nd floor are almost from the same school, and Fan Shengmei also flatly refused.

Fan Shengmei couldn't tell Wang Baichuan that in the eyes of others, she and Wang Baichuan had a lot of incompatibility.

She has a father who is bedridden and unconscious for a long time, a mother who has no retirement income, an uneducated brother who only makes trouble for her and asks her for help, and a nephew who seems to be raised by her in the future , but she is not a little rich woman, she is just a small urban white-collar worker, and the poor leader can't afford the dead wages of inflation.Her beauty is only a plus in the eyes of Wang Baichuan, but not only is she nothing in the eyes of others, she may even be regarded as a vixen and lose points.As long as she meets Wang Baichuan's family, all the beautiful bubbles will be exposed immediately, and she will be asked how to behave in front of Wang Baichuan.How dare she meet the Wang family members with confidence and boldness.

Seeing Fan Shengmei shaking her head like a rattle drum and saying "it's not the time yet", Wang Bochuan quickly explained: "I didn't mean to take this opportunity to force you to marry me, you said let me make achievements, and use the achievements to propose to you , I have always kept it in my heart. I mean, my parents are sure they want to arrange a blind date for me during the Spring Festival. You just need to show your face and let them know how much I love you and how beautiful you are. Don't nag me anymore."

Fan Shengmei still shook her head: "It's not the time. You can go on a blind date, I don't know." She is not stupid, meeting Wang's parents is not just a treat for dinner, it must be accompanied by an open and unannounced visit.

Wang Baichuan could only say: "How can I really go on a blind date? Even against all odds, I can't go on a blind date behind your back. Shengmei, it's just to meet, to drink tea, less than an hour, okay? I really hope that you will go on a blind date with me." My parents know each other, please, please."

Fan Shengmei shook her head again and again, but she kept a smile on her face. "I'm afraid, okay? Don't look at me being majestic in front of you, but I'm afraid that when I stand in front of your parents, I will immediately turn into a paper tiger that can be broken at a poke. I dare not say anything, and I won't even walk away. You have to delay me for a few more months to do psychological construction. This is not to meet other people, but to meet your parents, which has a lot to do with it."

Wang Baichuan's heart fluttered when he heard it, even though he was completely rejected, he was still comfortable from heart to hair.Wang Baichuan no longer mentioned the meeting, Fan Shengmei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Qu Xiaoxiao got off the long-distance plane and immediately called Dr. Zhao who hadn't heard from her all day.Her excuse was that the GI company summoned her urgently.Dr. Zhao is skeptical, and many believers.Doctor Zhao never imagined that the real reason for the flamboyant Qu Xiaoxiao to escape was a guilty conscience.

After leaving the airport, Qu Xiaoxiao really parted ways with Andy and the others.But Andy was a little worried, the old hen watched Qu Xiaoxiao buy the ticket to the destination like a chick, and then she rented a car with Bao Yifan and left in peace.

In the car, Andy told Bao Yifan: "Xiao Qu doesn't even stink in English. I bought the ticket with a translator. I was so anxious to see it. But I couldn't bear it. I watched Xiao Qu make gestures with my own eyes. I insisted on buying the right ticket. Don't worry. At that time, I really wanted to breathe a sigh of relief and say something encouraging or something to her, but when the little guy turned around, his expression turned into a slap, forget it, a foreign country, let me put up with her again."

Bao Yifan said with a smile: "You are worried about her here, she might have already plunged into the duty-free shop and joined the battle. She has her wisdom, so don't worry about her."

"Yes. I'm not related to her, but I'm so worried about her. Along the way, she often finds people like me."

And Qu Xiaoxiao pretended to be omnipotent in front of Andy, with a face full of beatings. When Andy left, she panicked for a few minutes. After all, this was the first time she was alone in a non-English-speaking country. The destination is still not an English-speaking country.But as soon as she turned around, she became active again. She didn't plunge into the duty-free shop, but wandered around the world with her luggage, looking for novelties.Because she had already found an interpreter for the next destination through the Internet, an international student.She is really not afraid of anything.

Only when negotiating with foreign businessmen needs to contact domestic colleagues is the most troublesome thing for Qu Xiaoxiao.During Chinese New Year, some people don't turn on the phone, some don't answer the phone, and even if they answer the phone, they don't have any information at hand, and they can't tell how ugly they are.Even Wang Baichuan, the personal boss, was pushy when he received the phone call.

Seeing that a customer was also importing the kind of goods made by Wang Baichuan, Qu Xiaoxiao called Wang Baichuan enthusiastically and asked him to quote a price immediately.It was six o'clock in the evening of the New Year's Eve, and Wang Baichuan was reunited with his family. The restaurant reserved a table, and the three generations of the family gathered for a reunion dinner.When Wang Baichuan received the call, he said with a smile: "I really can't give you a quotation right now, I have never done foreign trade, so I have to find a factory that does foreign trade to find out, and calculate a price that I can live with after the tax rebate. You'd better wait another three days and let people celebrate the Spring Festival."

"No, I'm already in the next city in three days. You must give me a quotation today, and I can easily talk to foreigners face to face. We still have the old rules, you have a share, and you have a share."

"Xiao Qu, I really can't help it. This point in the country is eating New Year's Eve dinner, miss! You can check the time. I can't give it, and my clients can't give you a quotation either."

Qu Xiaoxiao simply said "OK", but after hanging up Wang Baichuan's phone, she was immediately connected to Fan Shengmei's. "Sister Fan, I have something to report to you." She told Fan Shengmei the ins and outs of the business on the phone.

"Look, for such a safe business, my old customer, Brother Wang, said that he would not pick up customers on New Year's Eve. What the hell is New Year's Eve, my family is so rich, and I am the most qualified to eat and wait to die. Still carrying luggage all over the world looking for business, Andy and Mr. Bao are also negotiating with other companies. What happened during the Chinese New Year? There are opportunities to make money, and the Chinese New Year is just a cloud. What do you think, I will give you the last chance You, if you vent your anger with Big Brother Wang, this business will be over here, and we will never talk about it again."

Fan Shengmei stared straight at it, "What, you and Andy are both working for the New Year's Eve?"

"That's right, if it wasn't for the long Spring Festival holiday, I'd be so busy in domestic trade these days, how could I have time to visit foreign customers. Since I've been making door-to-door visits, wouldn't my work be in vain if I didn't tap into the potential of customers? Wherever I go, I just ask , What else do I have on hand, you haven’t done it before, see if you need it now. Of course, I will bring the product made by Brother Wang. Andy just called me and asked if I have a product. Yes. We are all acquaintances, and it is easy to communicate with acquaintances. Sister Fan, you are a sensible person, and you do business by being more diligent and brainy than others. In short, you can figure it out. I will wait until [-] o'clock in the morning on BJ time to move. Next stop, nothing three days later."

Fan Shengmei was a little dubious, and sent a text message to Andy to ask if Qu Xiaoxiao was really doing things during the Spring Festival holiday, and if she was playing a prank on her again.Andy wanted to laugh when she saw the text message, Qu Xiaoxiao had already made a bad reputation on the 22nd floor, not only did she doubt the truth of Qu Xiaoxiao's words, but Fan Shengmei also didn't trust Qu Xiaoxiao.She texted for verification.

When Andy authenticated, Bao Yifan was sitting on the soft sofa in the coffee shop, calling his parents and visiting here for the New Year's Eve dinner.After Andy finished sending the text message, Bao Yifan handed the phone to Andy, his parents wanted to say a few words to Andy.Mrs. Bao and Mrs. Bao treated Andy very well on the phone, and if he had any grievances, he would tell them.

Just by looking at Andy's expression, Bao Yifan knew his mother was talking sweet words again.When the phone call ended, Bao Yifan saw that Andy hadn't recovered, rolled over to lean on Andy and smiled, "Did you scare them with their affection?"

Andy was really confused by the affection of the Bao family couple. Didn't they just stage a scene of catching rape a few days ago?

"I do not know."

"Tomorrow there will be a lot of people coming to the house to pay New Year's greetings. The male leads the outside and the female leads the inside. It is very festive and harmonious. It is the same every year."

Andy looked at Bao Yifan suspiciously, why did he say this with sarcasm on the corner of his mouth.But Bao Yifan quickly changed the subject, "Do you want to make a big phone call to someone too?"

"Wei Guoqiang? Excuse me. It is said that he has been frequently asked to talk to him in the past few days. He sent me a text message the other day, asking me not to contact him for three months. I don't know what that means."

"So as not to implicate you. I am very contradictory. I know that my parents have a natural one-way love for me, but sometimes they are very repulsive. It seems very heartless, right? I often feel guilty for this, so I have to keep my eyes out of my heart Troubled, run away like Xiaoqu."

"What do you mean, Wei Guoqiang treats me..." Seeing Bao Yifan nodding his head in confirmation, Andy quickly said, "Then I absolutely reject it. Well, I support your attitude towards your mother."

"Haha, I didn't ask you to support me. I just expressed my feelings. It's so unpleasant to hold back in front of you and not let me speak. I'm so innocent in front of you."

"I'm so transparent about your innocence. Uh, the fifth cake in the second row, what might it taste like?"

"Cheese and almonds? Why can't the waiter see me winking at her?"

"Why don't you go?"

"Well, I can't get up, the sofa is too soft, my back hurts from sitting on it, and my internal strength is slackened."

The two finally reached under the coffee table again, secretly making rock-paper-scissors gestures, and the loser went to get food.Bao Yifan's work schedule is not tight, and the two of them have plenty of time to be lazy.Andy was not used to it at first, but Bao Yifan is a shameless man who can play rascals.

After Fan Shengmei got Andy's certification, she felt relieved about Qu Xiaoxiao.She was about to call Wang Baichuan when there were two soft, furtive knocks on the door.Fan Shengmei felt a chill in her heart, she glanced at her mother, and signaled with her eyes if she knew who was outside, her mother shook her head.She walked to the door, but one meter away from the door, "Who?"

"I."

Fan Shengmei couldn't tell who was outside, so her mother shook her head. "Who are you? Don't say I'm going to call the police."

"We... your sister-in-law's parents."

"We are all asleep, please go back."

"I don't go to bed so early. You open the door. Let's discuss something. What are you going to do with your brother and your sister-in-law?"

Fan Shengmei originally planned to scold her back, what to do, she deserves it, she'd better sit in prison.But for Chinese New Year, she endured it, left the door, called her mother and Lei Lei to her bedroom, closed the bedroom door, and ignored whatever was said outside.She has more important things to do, and that is to call Wang Baichuan.

What Wang Baichuan said also showed that Qu Xiaoxiao was really not looking for fun this time.So Fan Shengmei said seriously: "Since there is such a good opportunity, why don't you seize it? It doesn't take much effort to call some of your clients."

"At this time, customers are also reuniting with their families, eating and drinking, who is happy to answer my phone call."

"That's not necessarily the case. The better the business is, the less there is any concept of festivals. Look at Xiaoqu, the second generation ancestors work hard on holidays. You have just started your business, so why are you so entrusted with giving up the door-to-door business? "

"It's not that I entrusted him, but Xiaoqu went to a foreign country, and foreigners don't celebrate the Spring Festival. It's different here. Some bosses are very traditional. At this time, they will be scolded to death if they call. Just like me, now grandparents are here. The table, how can we leave them alone, we only reunite once a year. The same goes for those customers."

The parents of Fan Shengmei's brother and sister-in-law outside saw that they didn't respond, so they tore up their skin and kicked and beat the security door. They really bullied the door.Fan Shengmei was furious when she heard this, and she couldn't help but get a little hard on Wang Baichuan, "Well, some bosses have traditional concepts, and some may not, so you should call to find out. I'll wait for your reply. I have to hear your reply today before I go to bed. There are years to pass."

"Shengmei, and you know that the bosses are superstitious now. After dinner, they go to the monastery to watch the night to worship the incense sticks. Who would care about you now?"

"If you don't manage it, you have to call anyway. If you don't try, how will you know it. The opportunity is yours and mine. I will wait for your call. From now on, I will call you every quarter of an hour. If you don't I'm on the phone, only caring about eating, drinking and having fun and disregarding our future, then I have no future with you."

After Fan Shengmei finished speaking, she decisively ended the call without explaining to her mother who was on the other end of the phone.She opened the bedroom door and listened to the commotion outside. Hearing that the door was still beating and yelling, she looked at her mother coldly and said, "What are they doing here?"

"A few days ago they asked me for money and said it was to be sent to your brother and sister-in-law who was in prison. I didn't have it. I searched it for them, and it was true. I told them that you will go home during the Spring Festival."

"Oh, it turns out that the inside and the outside are cooperating to force me to ask for money. Who are they and who am I? No matter how close you are, you can't tell the difference."

"They took the money to your brother."

"Don't worry, it's too late for them, even sister-in-law, give it back to my brother? Just dream. It seems that you can't be polite." Fan Shengmei walked out angrily, looking at the security door made of iron, really I figured out that a wire would be placed on the door, so that people outside would get an electric shock.But she is not good at this, and she is afraid that if she makes a mistake, she will electrocute two people.She suddenly remembered a few days ago when Qu Xiaoxiao beat up Qu's father and other three men at the door, why couldn't she if Qu Xiaoxiao could do it.Fan Shengmei wandered around the room panting, looking for the murder weapon.When I went to the kitchen, I picked up a kitchen knife, let alone waved it. I felt shivering when I thought about it, so I put it down quickly.He picked up the broom again, but there were two people outside, and one of them was a man who still had energy. Could she handle it with a broom alone?Especially, if the strike is heavy, will it kill or injure?She can neither pay nor go to jail.

When Fan Shengmei threw down the broom in dejection, she thought that it was her, a powerless girl, who dared to be so arrogant and bully outside.But Wang Baichuan was so ineffective, he didn't cherish the great opportunity to come to the door, and she had to urge her repeatedly.Doesn't he know that she has to face a gang of scoundrels outside the door every day?He never thought of working hard to get her out quickly?Fan Sheng hated it from the bottom of his heart, and kicked towards the anti-theft door.As soon as she kicked inside, there was silence for a few minutes outside, but the beating and scolding resumed soon.

Fan Shengmei went back to the kitchen and went around looking for the murder weapon.She saved a basin of cold water and was about to pour it outside. Her mother hurried over and begged: "Don't do anything stupid. If you splash water, they will come tomorrow to throw dung. We can't afford it. Who will let you Dad can't move in bed. Even if you win today, when you go back to work, it will be me and Lei Lei who will suffer at home. We still have to survive. You let them knock, bear with it, they are not gods, and they can't knock all night. "

When Fan Shengmei heard this, she really couldn't do anything, she could only pant heavily.Suddenly it occurred to her to call Wang Baichuan to find out if he had called the client. In a rage, she rushed into the bedroom and slammed the door behind her. She vented all her pent-up anger on her mobile phone, and dialed Wang Baichuan like she was kneading dough. A female voice reminded him that he was on the phone.Fan Shengmei snorted, wondering if there was really a call over there, or if she was using the call to evade her inspection.She angrily sent a text message, "The first time I checked for a quarter of an hour, you were on the phone, fine. The second time, the third time... I will keep checking until you get back to me."

Wang Baichuan was forced to call the client, and indeed he was complained by the client, but at last one client was willing to cooperate.The queen mother has been sitting next to her son, and she can hear the phone clearly. When the son rests for a while, he asks: "Who is Shengmei?"

"Students from high school." Wang Baichuan kept his promise to Fan Shengmei and didn't talk to his parents for the time being.

The Queen Mother nodded, without asking any further questions, and let her son keep busy.A high school classmate, there is a son in the same building as a high school classmate, and I don't know everything when I inquire about it.

When the family dinner was over, Wang Baichuan hadn't finished asking prices and listening to complaints from customers.But he also knew that as long as he dared to put down the phone, Fan Shengmei's cold urging would come up immediately.He can only continue. He can't even send his elderly grandparents home for the time being.
