Ode to joy

Chapter 32

Fan Shengmei can't count how many blind dates like a small boss she has denied, and she denied one more than a month ago.Those people always ask her to do their logistics outside of working hours, accept calls and ask for leave at any time to take care of their account managers, dress up in fancy clothes on weekends and do customer public relations for them, and need her salary to jointly pay the down payment and mortgage of small commercial houses , and, three obediences and four virtues to take care of their families for them, give birth to their children and fully undertake the complicated affairs of raising children... until she was turned into a yellow-faced woman.If they developed, they would dump her as a yellow-faced woman in no time, and if they never developed, her career as a yellow-faced woman would never end.Life is so cruel, if you don't think through so many ifs in advance, there will only be consequences in the end.

Boss?Whoever loves to do it, she, Fan Shengmei, has a lot of experience and knowledge, and she will never be fooled.So, keep your distance.

While picking out folders, Qiu Yingying called for help, "Sister Fan, the property and downstairs are waiting to knock on the door, what should I do?"

"Open the door, let me see." But Fan Shengmei immediately realized that Wang Baichuan couldn't hear the following words, so she retreated to a distance before continuing to speak, "But let them find the problem and negotiate with the landlord, and if they can't find the problem, don't open the door to them again. Don't tell me what happened last night."

"Well, they're knocking."

"Well, talk less, or even not talk." After Fan Shengmei finished talking on the phone, she looked up to see Wang Baichuan looking at her in confusion from a distance. She didn't take it seriously. Who cares about other people's little hearts patiently.But that being said, Fan Shengmei still conscientiously selects stationery for Wang Baichuan, pursuing the best cost performance.

To Qiu Yingying's surprise, it was the hostess downstairs who came with the property owner. Now that she is a girl, it is difficult for her to say that it is inconvenient for a man to come in.When the hostess met, she said angrily: "You are renting out the house, I knew it would be unlucky to rent out the upstairs, as expected."

Qiu Yingying came prepared, "What's the difference? You have a family of three, and the three of us share the rent. There is no more than you."

The property manager looked at the layout of the room at the door, and said, "The rented house, another accident happened to the rented house." The property manager spoke impatiently.

Qiu Yingying got angry, "What's wrong with the rental house? Who stipulated that the house can't be rented out? We have something to discuss, but you came here with prejudice. Is this an attitude of negotiation?" She blocked the door to prevent the two people come in. "If you don't have a correct attitude, I won't let you go. I'm sorry."

"Little girl, please be reasonable. If some dirty water leaks from your upstairs in the middle of the night, and you have to clean it up all day, what will your attitude be?"

"Your house is leaking and you are in pain. The problem is why are you showing me your face? I didn't leak it. I went to bed early at this time last night. I don't know why you are leaking, and I don't care about it. If you have anything to discuss with the landlord "Qiu Yingying said that she wanted to close the door, but of course the hostess downstairs quit, she stretched out her hand to support the door.

"Hey, why are you making sense when you leak water?"

"Who knows where your water leaked from? How could the three of us live so well? If you knew why you closed the valve of 2201 last night? Since you can identify which valve is leaking, why look for it?" It’s bad luck for us to rent out a house, who is going to be unlucky for us to live in a rented house?”

Andy heard that someone was arguing in the corridor outside. She adjusted the camera to look out and saw a man and a woman arguing with Qiu Yingying from 2202. After thinking about it, she came out to support her.Even if she doesn't like Qiu Yingying, she doesn't want to see Qiu Yingying being besieged.

The hostess downstairs was so angry that she said, "Why are you unreasonable, girl, you are still reasonable when the water leaks?"

"I only reason with reasonable people, I don't reason with people who look down on rental houses. What's the matter? I just won't let you in, you step on me to get in."

The property owner fell silent, watching the two women arguing with their hands behind their backs.The hostess downstairs was even more annoyed, "Then what do you want, what do you want? Do you want to see me in court? You are unreasonable, and you won't listen to me if I tell you well. You will only listen if you have to go to court. Are you mean? .”

"Whoever is a bitch, who is a bitch, who comes to quarrel with you? Who comes to scold you? You are the bitch, you are bitch, you are bitch..."

Andy didn't expect Qiu Yingying's firepower to be so fierce, so he just stood by and watched.But unexpectedly, there was a loud roar from the stairwell, and a man rushed out.Everyone was startled, Qiu Yingying saw that the hostess downstairs was startled and stopped, she immediately pushed the door hard, and despite the wind and rain outside, she would not open the door again.The male owner rushed up from downstairs and kicked the anti-theft door of 2202 with a roar, but kicking again was too difficult for him, so he had to give up.Qiu Yingying inside was so frightened that her face turned pale, but when she heard that there would be no follow-up, she put down her heart and locked herself in the bedroom to isolate the noise, and broadcast live to Fan Shengmei.

Andy watched the people downstairs yelling, his head became excited and active, it was full of fireworks.She commented on almost every scolding: No, this kind of scolding is not powerful...too stupid...not forceful, too weak...if I change to this kind of scolding, Qiu Yingying will get angry, stupid...but The more she looked at it, the less interested she was. There was a silver pewter gun downstairs, and she couldn't come up with new tricks after scolding for a long time, and the firepower was getting weaker and weaker.

If there were no accidents, Andy could have seen the men and women downstairs who couldn't scold and leave in failure.Then, what was originally a simple matter became complicated and long-term, and became a protracted battle upstairs and downstairs. In the end, as long as there were no more leaks, it would be nothing.She needn't have interfered.However, at this turning point, Guan Juer came back.

Guan Ju'er was supposed to work overtime, but unexpectedly, there was a problem in the company's central computer room, and everyone couldn't do anything, so they had to retreat one after another.Guan Juer hurriedly made a phone call to ask Senior Brother Lin where she was, and if she could go to pick up the things her parents entrusted to carry, but Senior Brother Lin was very thoughtful, and drove her directly to pick her up from get off work, and sent her to Ode to Joy along with people and things.The Guan family packed a big bag for their daughter, but Guan Juer couldn't move it with his chopstick-like hands. Brother Lin helped to the end, and even brought people and things all the way to the 22nd floor.As a result, it happened to hit a quarrel.

When Andy saw it, he stretched out his hand and kidnapped Guan Ju'er who had just stepped out of the elevator, "You two are just here, I've already waited until the elevator exit. Come on, the food is cold." While talking, he sent people into his room lead. The husband and wife of 2102 have no temper for Andy, so they can only believe that the newly arrived man and woman have nothing to do with 2202.After closing the door, Andy briefly introduced the matter.Then he said: "When the host downstairs didn't come up, the two sides had already quarreled. Both sides were too angry and lacked the reason to solve the problem. But the host quickly came up and made a posture of force and deterrence. I support Qiu Yingying's closing If I don’t come out, I don’t have the force to persuade the fight. You go out later, the firepower of the two people downstairs won’t last long. The property management staff stood by and watched, so we can only procrastinate.”

Brother Lin listened and said: "Let me go and solve it. There is a man around, and the other party will restrain himself."

Andy was surprised that Senior Brother Lin was taking matters into his own hands, so he glanced at Guan Juer and said with a smile, "Feminists expressed emotional instability over this."

Guan Juer admitted to Senior Brother Lin: "This incident is actually my fault. When I was doing laundry last night..." Guan Juer explained the reason for the incident, but Senior Brother Lin said, "This incident cannot be considered your fault. , it should be that the waterproofing of your bathroom is not done well, and it should be your landlord's business to admit your mistake, as long as you promise to be careful with water in the future."

Andy thought to himself, this brother Lin is confusing the facts in order to please Guan Juer.But since Brother Lin is willing to come forward, let him handle it, he is obviously capable.

Brother Lin went out to deal with it, and Andy watched through the camera, and saw that the other party was still tense, but after a while, I didn't know what Brother Lin said, the two shook hands and patted their shoulders, which seemed to have eased.Then the property master also moved closer to speak.After a while, Brother Lin came to knock on the door and asked Guan Juer to inform Qiu Yingying to open the door. He would guard it and only let the property master go in for inspection.Andy was a little worried about Brother Lin's strength alone, so he followed him out.Sure enough, seeing Senior Brother Lin as a third party generously and gracefully blocking the downstairs couple who were eager to try, of course he used a little arm strength to let the property master go in for inspection alone.

After a while, the property manager came out. To avoid causing trouble, he said very rigorously: "It seems that there is a problem with the floor drain, which is consistent with the leak found when I opened the ceiling downstairs. I checked, and it was the joint of the sewer pipe that was not done properly. , there is less water upstairs, so just seep a little water. Maybe last night and Sunday, I washed a lot of clothes, and the water dripped when there was too much water seepage. It's very simple, I just go get some cement and wipe the joints. Everyone That’s right, it’s the landlord’s poor decoration.”

Andy said: "In this case, let's be considerate to each other. The two of you go downstairs to eat, and the upstairs is a little bit tired these days. I don't need that floor drain for now. Make sure to fix it once and for all. It's for everyone's benefit."

Brother Lin said to his husband downstairs: "In the future, if there is an issue upstairs or downstairs, it is better for everyone to resolve it politely. There are too many things that need to be considered between neighbors, and confrontation will only make things go to extremes. It's even more unfavorable. I don't think the past is to blame for this matter, so let's stop here."

When the couple downstairs were forced to leave due to the situation, and the real estate master also went to get the cement, Andy smiled at Qiu Yingying: "The firepower was so fierce just now, you are good at quarreling, and you react very quickly."

"That is, that is, but when my husband rushed up downstairs, I was really scared to death. Guan Juer, you are so lucky, you see, I will stand in your way when you are in trouble."

"I'll buy breakfast for you tomorrow morning." Guan Juer was too nervous, he couldn't smile at the moment, and when he thanked Brother Lin, he still had a serious face, "Thank you for your help today." But Guan Juer I can't say too many nasty words of thanks, so I stopped here.

On the contrary, Qiu Yingying was much more blunt: "Yes, thanks to your fellow villager's help, otherwise we are all female on the 22nd floor, and we can only let the husband downstairs show off, there is no other way."

Andy was very depressed when he heard that, why is there nothing he can do?She originally had the easiest way to save trouble and effort.But now Senior Brother Lin has solved it more satisfactorily than her solution, so she has nothing to say.She had to admit that there was a bit of a difference between having a man at hand and not having one in the raw, brutal moments of hand-to-hand combat.At this moment, she couldn't help but think of the singularity of bringing her work to accompany her to pick up her younger brother.Singularity has done so much for her, she really shouldn't treat him so bluntly.However, she couldn't figure out whether treating Singularity like this was good for Singularity or not.She returned to 2201 with a blank face, leaving Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying still chirping.

Fan Shengmei received a call from Qiu Yingying again. She was at the cash register, and when she saw the number, she left the shopping cart and went to answer the phone.Tonight, Wang Baichuan saw Fan Shengmei avoiding him to make phone calls one after another, feeling very abnormal, so he looked at Fan Shengmei while paying the bill.When Fan Shengmei came back after listening to the phone call, he couldn't help but said, "It's work again? Your work is really annoying."

"The job pays me a salary and allows me to settle down. Of course, I have to take it seriously. Aren't you pulling me to work on your job?" When Fan Shengmei said this, her expression remained unchanged, and she finally provoked the pretty She raised her eyebrows in disdain, she is now more and more confident in dealing with Wang Baichuan, and she is more than capable.

Wang Baichuan could only smile mischievously, "It's very late, let's go out and eat something later, and let me toast our strong woman. I'm sorry for making you tired and hungry."

Fan Shengmei took out her mobile phone and looked, "I don't want to eat, just go on a diet."

"It's not good to skip dinner at night."

"Hehe, you don't understand how girls feel when they can wear a size 0 skirt, but because of size 0, everything can be thrown away. You can just send me to Ode to Joy later."

"You have nothing else to do tonight? You don't want to eat, so drink coffee, or a bar? It's still very early."

"Sometimes you say it's late, and sometimes you say it's early. Time is like rubbing plasticine in your hands. You'd better go back early. There are things in the car. If you park at the entrance of an entertainment place, it is easy for thieves to smash the windows of the car."

While swiping his card, Wang Baichuan couldn't help but smile at Fan Shengmei. It was inconvenient to say it in front of the waiter. After he took the order and left, he said, "Every time I see you, I don't want you to leave."

Fan Shengmei just smiled, smiling all the way, without answering a word.All sweet talk is useless without substantive content.When she got to the car, she let Wang Baichuan move countless things into the car. She just sat in the car, took out a wet tissue to wipe her hands carefully, and then took out hand cream to protect her delicate hands. .She will never let herself become a yellow-faced woman.

When Wang Baichuan sat in panting, she was still checking her fingernails for damage by the light of the ceiling lamp, but when she saw Wang Baichuan coming in, she stopped with a smile.Seeing the way Wang Baichuan looked at her, she said reservedly: "Don't let your imagination run wild, or I'll get out of the car and leave immediately."

"I've been fantasizing for more than ten years."

Fan Shengmei quickly and decisively opened the car door and left without looking back.Wang Baichuan hurriedly chased him out to apologize, and apologized again, only in exchange for Fan Shengmei agreeing to send him home.Sure enough, Wang Baichuan didn't dare to say anything along the way.

Brother Lin was considerate, he said that the real estate manager would come later, and he had to watch on the spot.But the place in 2202 is small, so he sat in the corridor outside and waited.Both Guan Ju'er and Qiu Yingying thought it was right, but Guan Ju'er thought that Brother Lin hadn't eaten dinner yet, so he quietly discussed with Qiu Yingying that she should be here as the host's companion, and asked Qiu Yingying to go out and pack a few boxed lunches.Qiu Yingying looked at the [-]-yuan bills dangling in front of her eyes and refused, she was afraid, she had just quarreled with the downstairs, what if she went out to meet each other on a narrow road and suffered a disadvantage.Seeing that Guan Juer was in a hurry but did not dare to ask Andy for help, she took the money and knocked on the door of Andy's house.Andy did not refuse after hearing the explanation, but returned the money.She herself hadn't had her supper yet.

Andy changed his shoes and went out. When he saw Senior Brother Lin, he asked, "Senior Brother Lin, would you like to eat pizza? I'll go pick up two yuan and come back and let's eat together."

Brother Lin hurriedly laughed and said, "I'm really not hungry, and I'm not tired."

"I'm hungry. I want to eat pizza today, if you don't like pizza..."

"Thank you, then respect is worse than obedience."

Andy walked into the elevator with a smile.But Guan Ju'er couldn't laugh, she was nervous in front of Senior Brother Lin, as if she was meeting an elder.

"Your 22nd floor is as friendly as a college dormitory."

"Yes, everyone is fine."

"Is room 2201 also rented out? What about room 2203? From what you said, it seems that there is also a woman living there."

"Those two rooms are not rented." Guan Juer will answer any questions, but never more.Qiu Yingying was exhausted from hearing this, and added: "The guy who went out to buy pizza just now is called Andy, a returnee, don't look at us here, he is approachable, he is an executive of a big company. 2203 lives in the second generation of the rich, usually with us It’s also very good. Xiaoguan rides Andy’s ride every morning. Xiaoguan is lucky. I only took a ride for a day and I haven’t come back. Brother Lin, where do you work? I didn’t hear Xiaoguan. But, Xiaoguan is really tight-lipped."

"I work for the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau. What about you?"

"Wow, civil servants, civil servants in this city are paid very well. I sell coffee, sell coffee, sell coffee machines, and work as a salesperson. Is it easy to be a civil servant? Does Brother Lin have a must-kill trick?"

"When I was graduating from graduate school, I encountered that the city bureau was in great need of professionals like ours. So there was no special skill, just studying hard. Xiaoguan's company is also very good, and you need special skills to get in. Xiaoguan, what did you do at the beginning? into your company?"

Unexpectedly, the topic turned back to her, Guan Juer had no choice but to answer.Qiu Yingying was helpless, she was ignored, but Guan Juer was the one she wanted to answer.She looked at Guan Juer's face which was not prettier than hers, and depressedly found an excuse to go back to the house to play by herself.
