Ode to joy

Chapter 15

The funnier ones are yet to come.The dishes were served one by one, and Singularity's friends came to say hello with various excuses. When they said hello, they looked at her, and she had to smile back politely.Later, even Singularity couldn't stand it, so he had to leave the table temporarily to say hello to his friends' boxes.Andy has to enjoy the specially prepared dishes here: BBQ home-raised authentic black-skinned pork, wild shad weighing two catties, cherry duck with secret sauce, goose feet in abalone sauce, fried rice cake with shredded bamboo shoots and tassel vegetables, tofu stew with hairy crab powder ... Andy was having a great time eating.In addition to the introduction of Singularity, Singularity seems to understand food very well. He pointed out to Andy why black-skinned pork is more delicious, and wild shad weighing two catties can be judged wild by freezing it after a little cold, and so on. It was unheard of for Andy.

The club also thoughtfully provided knives and forks, which made Andy, who can't use chopsticks, feel like a fish in water. She forgot that it is said that girls are still reserved. Of course, the abalone sauce must be cleaned with bread and packed into the stomach.

"I have never eaten such a delicious Chinese food. I used to eat in a Chinese restaurant with my foreign devil colleagues. I didn't know how to order. I thought Chinese food was sweet and sour meat, General Tso's chicken, roast duck, wonton, fried noodles, dumplings, etc., and I used chopsticks, so I was discouraged." , Retired to eat Western food. It was only when I returned to China that I ate a good one, wow. This meal is even more extreme, thank you, Singularity, I am so happy to eat."

If someone else said that, it might be an exaggeration, but Singularity watched Andy clean up the plate in front of him, and even the anchovy sauce bibimbap, almost sweeping the floor gracefully, it was hard to believe it or not.He just smiled in surprise the whole time. "I like to eat, and I will often go out to eat together when I have time in the future. Seeing you eating is really motivating. But after eating out too much, you will find that what you miss the most is the dishes made by your mother at home."

"I am an orphan, and my memory of Chinese food is the food in the orphanage and the canteen food in the university for half a year. I can't like it. When I was 15 years old, there was an exchange program in the university. I was selected to continue my studies in the United States. I was a minor and lived in A foreigner’s family started to eat Western food from then on. The orphanage is the kind where each person has an enamel bowl and an aluminum spoon. They line up to cook rice first, and the rice is covered with vegetables. Most of the time, there are a few slices of fat floating in the vegetables. This is my memory. Deep, but don't miss it. Scared?"

"Scared by your IQ. I met you online and had dinner together. In my eyes, you are like an angel, both simple and complicated. Now the mystery has been solved." Curiously, he clicked on the text message on the phone, and he glanced at it. , "A friend at the table over there happened to be a Porsche. He told me that your car was sold by their shop. It was ordered at the beginning of the year and it arrived last month."

"My boss's car was robbed by me. I used to be in the United States, and he also robbed my car when he went on a business trip to the United States, forcing me to rent a car. We have been friends for ten years, and I have worked with him since I got my doctorate. He is a good manager. Genius of complex relationships. I have a quick question, do you know a guy named Wei Guoqiang? You both have the last name Wei."

"Wei Guoqiang? I don't know him. It's yours..."

"Heh, I need to change this habit. I used to see few Chinese people, and there might be connections between people with the same surname. I can't help but ask."

Singularity did not pursue the question, but took out a business card from his bag and handed it to Andy.Andy habitually thought of exchanging business cards, but she didn't bring anything today. "My online name and real name are both Andy, I will make up my business card later." Her mobile phone also prompted a text message, which was written by Fan Shengmei. Fan Shengmei proudly announced that she smashed Director Bai's rented house and vented her anger on Qiu Yingying's behalf. .Then, Fan Shengmei sent three tragic photos of the scene one after another.Andy laughed horribly, never expecting the graceful Fan Shengmei to be so aggressive.She hurriedly responded with five words, "I love you to death."

But after listening to the ins and outs, Singularity raised a question, "Since he is a wretched man, can he just let it go if his house is smashed?"

"Of course I won't let it go. But Miss Fan is a senior HR, she should know how to deal with the aftermath."

"As far as I know, many young HRs in China are self-righteous, especially in companies with relatively standardized management assessments, such as foreign companies. They think that if they recruit and interview senior talents, HR themselves are superior, and they often play tricks Make things difficult during interviews. Because everyone in the company is evaluated by their HR department, they think they are in charge of the overall situation of the company and they have the best ability. Sorry, especially young female HR, it is easier to feel too good about yourself. You Just ask."

"Okay, let me ask." But Andy picked up the phone and still smiled, "I worked so hard to be honest about the meal time, and finally you are also honest. It's not easy."

Singularity froze for a moment, looking at Andy who was texting, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Well, I hope we are not only netizens, but also good friends."

Andy smiled at Qi, very charming, "Isn't it?" At least, after the first meal, they kept talking on QQ. Although it was rare to chat together, they also talked more than before.Andy recalled all the words of Singularity several times, and found no flaws to show that Singularity might lie to her, but of course, Singularity is very deep and not honest enough.

After a while, Fan Shengmei's text message came back, "Soldiers are coming to block, water is coming to cover!" Singularity said with a smile: "That's good. What shall we do next? We have to digest and make room for dinner."

"I have some personal matters to deal with in the afternoon. Uh, to find the root, I asked someone to help."

"Need my help? I'd love to help."

"Thank you, I don't need it yet." Andy bid farewell to Singularity.Singularity was very thoughtful, walking her all the way to the car and opening the door for her.Andy suddenly thought, "I have a favor, I wonder if you would like to help, Miss Fan is 30 years old, can you introduce her a boyfriend? She seems to care about this matter very much, and she is very taboo to mention her age."

"I'll keep an eye out. You don't shy away from saying your age?"

"Don't always observe me, test me, test me. Goodbye."

Singularity looked at the flying car and smiled.Not stupid at all, but not sharp.That's right, it was he who walked away while eating and asked a friend to check Andy's car.It's always weird for a young girl to drive such a nice car.Fortunately, Andy is not to blame.

Andy had just arrived at Tan Zongming's villa, almost just parked the car, and was about to take a deep breath to accept the fact that Yan Luming would hand over to her, but Guan Juer's call came in just at this time, and the electric bell even surprised Andy , "Sister Fan was taken away by the police, Andy, what do you say?"

"what happened?"

"It seems to be saying that the surnamed Bai called the police. I asked my father just now, and my father said that we must first find out which police station it is, and it is best to find an acquaintance to accommodate. But Qiu Yingying and I don't know anyone, do you?" Guan Juer's voice was full of tears.

"I'll find a lawyer to deal with it. Don't worry, you and Xiaoqiu."

"Ah, Xiaoqu is here. Okay, we'll wait for your news."

Andy remembered the reminder from Singularity at lunch, yes, wretched men are not men, of course they would do such wretched things.When she saw Tan Zongming and Yan Luming, seeing Tan Zongming's normal face, as if fleeing in her heart, she first asked Fan Shengmei's problem to be solved.After hearing this, Tan Zongming smiled and said, "What a big deal. Old Yan, you are familiar with that hole, why don't you help me deal with it."

Yan Luming said: "Okay, I'll go right away. Which police station?" Andy looked at Tan Zongming dumbfounded, his face instantly turned white, his limbs began to tremble, and the mobile phone he was holding fell to the wooden floor of the study superior.

Tan Zongming glanced at Yan Luming, knowing that Andy had already guessed the result.He told Yan Luming the address of Andy's home, and asked the private detective to find clues by himself.The purpose of finding Andy was to report to her the results of Yan Luming's search in the mental hospital near her hometown, but he dismissed the reporter because of a trivial matter. It's best to be there.

The ice pack gradually stabilized Andy's head, and she struggled to feed herself, saying, "Old Tan, tell me."

With a calm face, Tan Zongming steadily opened the file bag on the table, let the nanny who wiped Andy's cold sweat go out, and closed the door of the study. "No one was found in the psychiatric hospital, but Lao Yan Jingjing went to the nearby orphanage to search again, and finally found a boy in the nursing home. According to the DNA comparison result, he should be related to you. This is his photo, it looks like Quite handsome and refined."

"Why is he in the nursing home?"

"It is said that he showed mental retardation when he grew up. The family who raised him became more and more afraid, so they threw him far away, but he was sent home by the police station. Nursing home for foster care. Later, no money was given. The nursing home couldn’t send people away, so I had to keep them. I heard from Lao Yan that he has a very docile personality, and his memory...remembers numbers very well.”

Hearing this, Andy trembled again.She had long suspected that she had a problem with her super strong memory for numbers, no, it was verified.Tan Zongming didn't expect Andy's reaction to be so big, so he didn't dare to delay. "I'll take you to the hospital."

"Don't go, don't go, don't go, don't send me to a mental hospital."

Tan Zongming saw Andy shrinking tightly into the sofa and trembling, he wished he could get into the corner of the sofa and let the sofa disappear, he was extremely pitiful.He walked over without hesitation and held Andy tightly in his arms.He knew that doing so violated the gentleman's agreement between the two, but the current situation was special.

After a long time, the trembling in my arms stopped.But Tan Zongming heard a voice asking: "Old Tan, will I go crazy?"

"No." Tan Zongming replied firmly, "God has made you normal until today, and will not ask for your tomorrow."

"But...my mother...became crazy later."

"You won't. You have been sane in the fancy world of New York, and you will always be sane. It's not like your mother was a simple rural girl back then, who had little knowledge and was easily excited."

"It can't be a fluke. Old Tan, I want to make a will."

"nonsense!"

"You can't take chances, you can't, you can't... and you can't get married, you can't harm others, you can't have children, you can't bring disaster to the next generation, it's best to come to me to cut off your children and grandchildren, and get rid of this gene."

"Nonsense, stop talking, keep silent."

"I will never be happy from head to toe in this life, woo..."

Andy cried, but Tan Zongming breathed a sigh of relief.He was really afraid that Andy would hold back, hold back, hold back, and there would be problems.That bastard gene, after all, is the sword of Damocles hanging above his head.Just thinking about "I will not be happy from head to toe", the more I think about it, the more miserable I feel, even he can't say the right words.

After a long time, Tan Zongming said: "The future is long, how can you make the decision to give up the choice. Who knows in the future, or you just happen to be the lucky one who does not carry the gene. You must work hard to live. Think about it, there is still a What about your younger brother who needs your care. You have a responsibility, and you can't give up on yourself."

"Well, I want to earn money. Imagine that every day in the future will be taken care of by others...to earn money for every day of life in the future."

Tan Zongming was speechless.A doubt has been solved, and a knot has just been formed.Andy doesn't even have to doubt it in the future, he will directly live in the shadow of possible madness every day in the future.If a person can't see the future, what's the fun of living.

When Qu Xiaoxiao came home, she changed her clothes and took a rest, intending to rejuvenate and devote herself to the weekend carnival.

But when I went up to the 22nd floor, I saw gloomy clouds and mist inside 2202 with the door open.Guan Juer even rushed out after finishing the call, dragged her to the stairs, and explained to her what happened so far today.Guan Juer asks Qu Xiaoxiao to find a way to rescue Fan Shengmei quickly.

When Qu Xiaoxiao heard that Fan Shengmei had smashed the white nest, she kept saying "cool, handsome", and after Guan Juer finished introducing the matter, she started calling her friends to ask for help.Guan Ju'er was listening, and said, "Do you want to hire a lawyer? My father didn't say anything."

"What kind of lawyer should you hire? It's purely that bastard surnamed Bai. I don't know what kind of loss he has reported. That kind of person can have anything valuable in his hands, and he has it all on his body. Hiring a lawyer can only make things work. Our top priority is Tell Sister Fan to come out quickly. Relationship, relationship, relationship..." Qu Xiaoxiao chattered, looking through the phone numbers in her mobile phone, looking for the friendship she established after returning to China.

Seeing this, Guan Juer was very pleased.But she had to go back to 2202 immediately. There was also Qiu Yingying who complained, sighed, hated, and cried.But just after entering the room, I heard Qiu Yingying pick up the phone, and the conversation was from Qiu Yingying's mother. "No, no... nonsense... If you don't believe me, come and see... No... I'll tell you in detail later... It's him who wants to change... I'm the victim, this villain will sue first... and then ask me to commit suicide!"

Qiu Yingying ruthlessly hung up the phone, looked up, and there was no trace of graceful sadness in her eyes. "That guy turned out to be the first to file a complaint, saying that I was alone in Haishi and had a chaotic relationship with men and women. He couldn't stand it."

"Let me tell your parents, let me calm down, don't worry your parents. If they really come from a long distance, they will be in trouble."

Qiu Yingying thought for a while, then handed the phone to Guan Juer.When Guan Juer was explaining to her parents in a soft voice, she walked out fiercely and stood in front of Qu Xiaoxiao.

Qu Xiaoxiao, who had rich experience in battle, felt the flow of the surrounding aura was different, without raising her head, she twisted her slender waist, swished into the stairwell, and pressed the door tightly. "Qiu Yingying, do you have a conscience? I'm helping you find Sister Fan. You can't stop me."

Qiu Yingying couldn't help but stare blankly for a while, then said, "No."

"Nothing? Speak clearly and loudly, you are not a mosquito with a thin voice."

"Who has a low voice, you are. Let me ask you, how do you know that man is a wretched man?"

"Tch, this lady has experienced many battles, do you know? This lady also knows that you don't want to go back to work in the company tomorrow, and the wretched man must set up a trap and plan to make trouble."

"He has already reported to my parents."
