Ode to joy

Chapter 31

On the 22nd floor, Monday morning is always the most painful morning.However, there are always exceptions.

For example, Fan Shengmei, she spent a Sunday to digest the hangover on Saturday, so she can wake up beautifully on Monday morning.In particular, against the background of the brand-new Hermès scarf, there was no sleepiness in her eyes.

Monday was Qiu Yingying's first day at her new job.Today, she puts not being late in the first place, and almost got up and set off with Fan Shengmei.Of course, although her new job has work clothes, she still asks Fan Shengmei to help her match her first day's dress.Seeing Fan Shengmei's new scarf shining brightly in front of her eyes, she was so envious, she couldn't help reaching out and gently touching the thing that didn't look like real silk. "Sister Fan, you will move out soon."

"Why? How did you ask this question?"

"Because your classmate is so rich and willing to spend money for you, he must love you very much, and wish he could buy a house and marry you as soon as possible."

Fan Shengmei was speechless, but then smiled and said: "Who would be willing to get married so early? For girls, falling in love is the most precious period. We must find a way to extend this time and enjoy it."

Qiu Yingying was amazed, and kept Fan Shengmei's words firmly in her heart.

By the time Guan Ju'er struggled to get up with his tired body, the two roommates had already gone out.

This Monday, Qu Xiaoxiao's company started to go back to normal operation.As the general manager, of course she has the right not to go to work according to her schedule, especially since everyone knows that she is the son of a prince, and no one expects her to really do things.

Everyone, including her parents, believed that under normal circumstances, Qu Xiaoxiao should be late for work.However, Qu Xiaoxiao has a plan in her heart, so she is not normal.What she wanted was simple: she wanted to be different from her two half-brothers, in terms of behavior and whether she could make money with her own ability, she wanted to form an extreme contrast with the two brothers.

Qu Xiaoxiao's early waking process is designed very simply, wake up with the alarm clock, make coffee, wash up, dry hair while drinking coffee, make up and dress, leave the mess in the room when going out, and hand it over to the hourly workers.But there is always a little gap between the reality and the design. When Qu Xiaoxiao goes out, she turns on her cell phone and calls out the cell phone number that she has been thinking about for several days.But she still didn't call that number, but sent a text message: Dr. Zhao, I'm Xiaoqu.My foot injury has healed a lot and I can walk on the ground.Sure enough, you were right.But still have trouble moving.Thanks again.

In Qu Xiaoxiao's world, no one in the world knows the king.It was rare for her mobile phone to send out such a serious text message, and under normal circumstances, she should receive a reply soon.But this Monday was obviously an abnormal day. Qu Xiaoxiao went all the way to the building where the company was located, bought breakfast under the building, and waited until she sat in her general manager's office before finally receiving a slow reply: May I ask you Who is it?

Qu Xiaoxiao wailed at the six characters: God!Unexpectedly, that person didn't remember her, Qu Xiaoxiao.

Qu Xiaoxiao's self-esteem was severely hit, and she quickly wrote countless explanations on her mobile phone, explaining who she really was and what happened to her feet.But while waiting to send, she rolled her eyes and calmed down.What is a leprechaun?Goblins just don't take the usual route.As soon as she gave it away, she deleted the words she had worked so hard to type, and started all over again: Oh, it's hard to say.May I ask what time Dr. Zhao leaves work in the afternoon, and I will go over to explain to you before that.

This time, Dr. Zhao quickly replied about the off-duty time.Qu Xiaoxiao flicked her phone and laughed, this is called curiosity killed the cat.How dare you say you don't know Xiaoqu in the future?Humph, never a chance!
The most normal person on the 22nd floor before became the most abnormal person this Monday morning.Andy wakes up at the normal time, but when he goes to the bathroom, he finds a big problem: the water is out.Immediately, many memories of the crime scene were recalled in her clever mind.The most terrible thing is that the criminals secretly cut off the electricity and water before entering the house, and start while the owner is out for maintenance.She acted immediately, rushed to the living room, and called up the camera's video recordings from the night to check.Sure enough, fast forward to 1:23 in the middle of the night, and a man appeared in the corridor abnormally.Andy stopped fast-forwarding and checked carefully: I saw a man appearing in the corridor at 1:23, wearing small plaid cotton pants, a round-neck short-sleeved T-shirt, walking unsteadily and confidently, walking directly to the workshop next to the elevator, An Di Dee remembered that the water pipes in the work room were coiled, and the main water valves for all the rooms on the 22nd floor were in that work room.It was the man who did it.But what is he going to do?Andy had no time to ask questions, so he called the property security of the community for help.

As soon as the security guard heard that the problem was serious, he immediately reported it to the leader on duty. By the time the leader on duty arrived, a long time had passed.The property staff had rich experience, and at first glance they decided that there might be a water leak in 2201. The people downstairs were greedy for convenience when it was dark, so they went directly to turn off the water, because the thief could not be dressed like this at home.Andy is willing to accept this explanation. If it is her house that leaks, she is willing to apologize immediately.But he followed the security guard to 2101 and knocked on the door. The male owner who came out was completely different from the person in the video.This is where the problems started to get serious.Who, why, turned off the water valve at Andy's house.

Andy chose to call the police.But she needed to go to work, and Tan Zongming said that there was something important to discuss, so she left in a hurry without waiting for the results of the police investigation.

The launch of Tan Zongming's new project requires a very complicated approval process. Even with Tan Zongming's hands and eyes, some procedures are still unavoidable.But Tan Zongming didn't want to wait. He spent a Sunday discussing cooperation with his peers, requisitioning the entire set of licenses and personnel of his peers.Andy went to work to see it, and it was good.Simply, when Tan Zongming was handing over with his colleagues, she first took two people to practice and familiarize themselves with domestic operations.This job is very different from the original one. Even though she is still doing simulation operations these days, her working hours are still very busy.She had her hands full when the police called to tell her the results of their investigation.

It turned out that the man who turned off the valve was the owner of Room 2102, because 2202 leaked to the downstairs in the middle of the night, the man was kicked out of bed by his wife, and he closed the wrong valve while half asleep and half awake.Andy breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and quickly called Fan Shengmei, the backbone of 2202, to inform him of the matter.Fan Shengmei immediately thought that yesterday everyone took advantage of the day off to wash clothes, and the waterproofing of the bathroom in this rented house may not be done well.I'm afraid the clothes have been washed too much, and the soup will always leak.

Sure enough, soon, the property owner's call also reached Fan Shengmei's mobile phone.Of course, Fan Shengmei said that she was not free, and said confidently that there was nothing wrong with 2202. The ground was dry all night, and the pipes were normal. How could there be any leaks.After calling the property, Fan Shengmei sent emails to Guan Ju'er and Qiu Yingying respectively, saying that 2202 had already fallen asleep at one o'clock last night, and there could be no water leakage.Since she was not caught, there was no evidence, so of course she could rely on it.Qiu Yingying quickly texted back to explain, but Guan Juer didn't call back to explain until the noon break.

"Yesterday, it might have leaked when I was washing clothes. I was so tired that I dozed off on the table halfway through the wash. When I woke up and turned off the washing machine, I saw that the floor drain was blocked by hair and wool fibers. The water from the washing machine It overflowed and leaked all over the floor, and only after cleaning the floor drain did it go into the water again. If... If you find us downstairs, I will bear it."

"Ah, that's right. Let me think about it...Let's say that we are still speaking on the same page, saying that it has nothing to do with us. There are two reasons. First, people's hearts are not enough. If you admit it too easily, you can't make it downstairs. Finally, a long list of compensation will be issued, and you will be compensated for any bathroom heater that failed last year and the floor that was raised the year before. But if everyone insists that it is irrelevant, and the downstairs is required to produce evidence, it is not easy to argue downstairs. The compensation list will be enough. Secondly, since the bathroom leaks so easily, and we admit it, then of course the downstairs will ask the landlord to cure it in various ways. It will definitely take several days to pry the floor tiles in the bathroom to make waterproofing, during which we cannot use the bathroom , and the craftsmen need to have our people ask for leave to keep an eye on them. Who of us can ask for leave. You say, is it too troublesome? So let’s deny it first, as long as we pay attention to water in the future, we will Just stop leaking."

"But will the downstairs say that there is a water leak, except for the upstairs to the downstairs, who else can leak?"

"Unless they have evidence, it's useless to say anything. Of course, if you want, you can call the property right now and admit it. I'll call you."

Guan Juer hesitated for a while, and said: "Sister Fan, delay if you can, it's quite scary."

Guan Juer immediately called her mother to ask what to do. Her mother thought Fan Shengmei's idea was very good, and it seemed that Fan Shengmei was a ruthless character.If she comes downstairs to negotiate, her mother tells Guan Juer not to come forward, she is definitely not an opponent, and these days she is still looking for an excuse to work overtime, and hide if she can.Guan Juer heard the subtext of her mother's words, let the ruthless character Fan Shengmei deal with it.Guan Ju'er felt that it was a bit vulgar to do so, but there was no doubt that she really had to work overtime until late at night these days.Guan Ju'er had no choice but to comfort himself, it was her last resort, and she was not righteous.

Since lunch, Qu Xiaoxiao has been planning what clothes to wear at night, what perfume to wear, what makeup to wear, how to see Dr. Zhao, and how to trick Dr. Zhao out to have a meal together. She has countless plans to ensure that Dr. Zhao Can't say no.But God did not help, a middle school classmate introduced a client to her.Qu Xiaoxiao hurriedly called the customer and found that the other party had announced the bidding a few days ago, and it was too late for her to learn about it.But fortunately, there are still two days before the stipulated bidding registration time.After Qu Xiaoxiao discussed with her father, it was not too late, she had to go there in person.Not only to get the pre-qualification text, but also to hold high the brand introduced by the classmates, and make contact with customers first.She understands better than anyone else that the so-called bidding, the so-called public bidding, is mostly just a formality. She has been influenced by her parents since she was a child, and she already knows that before the opening of the bid evaluation, the result of who can win the bid is already under the table.Therefore, prior contact with customers is more important than anything else.

Between the client and Dr. Zhao, Qu Xiaoxiao chose the former without any suspense.However, she will not lose sight of one another, when she is busy arranging work and business trips, she can still find time to send a text message to Dr. Zhao: Dr. Zhao, it's still me Xiaoqu.I have official business and have to go on a business trip with my sick legs. I can't see you in the afternoon. I am very, very sorry for missing the appointment. I will make up for it and apologize when I come back from the business trip.After she finished writing the text message, she laughed. Does anyone take the initiative to repay the debt to be taken advantage of?But only by being so special can Dr. Zhao remember that there is such a person as Xiao Qu in the world, and, hehe, Xiao Qu seems to be a strong, hard-working, polite and not-too-frightening good girl.this point is very important.Only after getting acquainted with the good feelings will it be easier to trick Dr. Zhao out to have a meal together.Dad said, whether the business can be successful, the first step is to see if you can invite the other party out for dinner.As long as you can invite them out for dinner, the business can get off to a good start.She had to be careful in her first battle with Dr. Zhao.

Qiu Yingying waited until she went to work to take a look, only to realize that the homework she did cramming yesterday and the day before yesterday was almost useless.Even though she can recite all the origins of coffee beans, when a bean is placed in front of her, she will never see, smell, taste, what kind of bean it is, where it comes from, and how to shell it. Peeling, how to store it, what degree of baking, and how many days after baking.Of course, she couldn't even tell the acidity and bitterness of the beans.What is the expression of harmony and fragrance, not to mention the balance, nutty cocoa, front and back flavors.And she found that the customers who come to the store to buy coffee are either coffee shop owners or coffee lovers. It seems that everyone has a clear and clear coffee account in their hearts. She said that she was afraid of scaring away the guests and losing her job.

Even more frightening are those coffee machines imported from Italy and Germany. A small one costs tens of thousands. Except for the simplest Moka pot, Qiu Yingying dare not touch those coffee machines with complicated shapes.

As soon as the store manager came up, he threw several coffee books and coffee machine manuals to Qiu Yingying, so that Qiu Yingying could learn by herself. The store manager said that all the coffee beans can be tasted, and all the knowledge should be found out by referring to the books. The understanding of knowledge needs to be touched by oneself with the most intuitive feeling, which cannot be taught by others.Qiu Yingying first thought that tasting coffee for free, and tasting good coffee, was a great thing that fell from the sky.But by the afternoon, she knew she was wrong.A delicious job does not necessarily correspond to a delicious mood. After eating so many bitter coffee beans, she spontaneously has countless points of affection for the least popular but clearly labeled instant coffee in the store.

On Monday night, only Qiu Yingying came home from get off work on time in 2202.And Fan Shengmei was picked up halfway by Wang Baichuan, and they went to see the office furniture together.

Qiu Yingying was stopped by the female security guard Xiao Zheng in the lobby on the first floor. She immediately thought of the water leak, but she was reminded by Fan Shengmei's email and immediately entered the pretending to be stupid 1.0 database. "You're back. I'll immediately notify the plumber of our property and 2102 to go to your room to see what caused the water leak."

"Leakage? What's going on? Why don't I know?"

"You leaked water to 2102 last night, but the man in 2102 went up and turned off the water valve in 2201. This incident caused the police to come. It was finally found out that it was an oolong, and the problem was in your room. Our leader asked me to watch When will you go home, both of you will check the problem with the third party of our property."

"How could there be a water leak? Is it really a water leak? Or did something bad happen downstairs to make excuses in front of the police? Why didn't we hear anything last night?" This answer was the crystallization of the wisdom of Qiu Yingying and Fan Shengmei.

Xiao Zheng was dumbfounded by Qiu Yingying's question, "Or, let's check it together and we'll understand."

"There must be a reason to come to our house to investigate if there is nothing to do. Otherwise, it is just messing with our brains and bullying us three women in the house."

Xiao Zheng was speechless, watching Qiu Yingying enter the elevator with high spirits.But as soon as Qiu Yingying got into the elevator, she saw another sufferer, Andy. Andy was thinking about something with a serious face, but he didn't see her get into the elevator.Qiu Yingying didn't dare to disturb, lest Andy, the sufferer, vent his anger on her first.But when the elevator arrived, she was still discovered by Andy.To Qiu Yingying's surprise, Andy just said "You're off work too" to her, and they parted ways in the corridor.Qiu Yingying hurried into 2202, but closed the door.

In order to buy something before the office supply store closes, Fan Shengmei suggested to meet her Wang Baichuan at the subway entrance, instead of going to eat, but to get down to business.So the two bought two sandwiches, ate them in the car and went to the store.Desktop computer and printer?Wait, when the company is registered, it is the Golden Tax Project, and the tax will force you to match a full set of high-priced goods.Desk and chairs?There are currently four rented offices, and we can consider not adding them for the time being.Small companies can temporarily not use copiers, but instead use fax machines with copying functions.A safe is essential...

Fan Shengmei's suggestions were almost all adopted by Wang Baichuan.While Fan Shengmei was proud, she suddenly realized that she was subconsciously saving money for Wang Baichuan, thinking of a decent and practical cost-effective solution for Wang Baichuan.She didn't understand why she was so soft-hearted that the clerk mistook Fan Shengmei for the proprietress.She couldn't help being terrified, and looked sideways at Wang Baichuan, and saw that he was carrying a box of A4 papers into the shopping cart, and when he was unloading the goods, Fan Shengmei saw a dirty mark on Wang Baichuan's suit.
