Ode to joy

Chapter 41

After getting on the expressway, it seems that I only said a few words, and a new exit will soon be in front of me.According to Singularity's instructions in the text message, the general direction is to go to the mountain side, but you need to pay attention to every fork in the road. After entering the countryside, some road signs are very troublesome.So the two resumed you driving to me to check the GPS, and the cooperation was perfect.

Searching and searching, going around, they finally came to a special parking lot.The parking lot is quite simple, surrounded by low bamboo fences, but when you drive in, you can see that it is full of good cars.Fan Shengmei's eyes lit up and she said "wow", "BMWs and Mercedes-Benz have become popular products. Wang Baichuan, you can't show off anymore."

Wang Baichuan parked the car according to the prompt of an old man watching the car. "My three-series BMW is just for transportation. How does it compare with others. What about your neighbors?"

Fan Shengmei drove out the door, but was stunned by the scene in front of her.She saw four people jumping out of a Mercedes-Benz next to her, four, not two as she thought, the other two were Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying who were playing around.

Why did they get in the car too?Can't you say no?Before Fan Shengmei could react, the three girls had already gathered around, and Andy smiled and said: "Little sister Fan, let's unify the caliber, my profession is a model, and generally at this age, if you don't know your face well, it's a model who has passed away. This shows that Mr. Wei is not classy. But the two of them picked on me and said that I can't walk on catwalks, don't be afraid, I have you, let's fight for the time being."

Fan Shengmei couldn't smile, she squeezed desperately to squeeze out a smile, she nervously glanced at Wang Baichuan who was shaking hands with Singularity, stretched out her hand and pushed the three girls to the distance, and said lightly: "Please do me a favor, I didn’t tell Wang Baichuan that I live in a rented house, and you guys can help me unify later that Xiaoguan and Xiaoqiu live in the same room as Xiaoqu. Is that okay? I still live in 2202, and you two live in 2203. Please, please, please help me. "Fan Shengmei's face was flushed red, she was very embarrassed.

Qiu Yingying agreed first, "Don't worry, Sister Fan, I won't talk about it. There's nothing wrong with such a trivial matter." The other two also nodded firmly.

Fan Shengmei smiled and said: "Thank you. But Andy, don't pretend to be a model. Are there any models like you who don't even use lipstick and nail polish?"

"But it's said that I'm dressed very trendy today, Xiaoqiu, return the props to me quickly, we're going to make a fool of Mr. Wei today."

Singularity was very curious about Wang Baichuan, and when he finally saw him today, he immediately went up to shake hands, introduced himself, and dug out Wang Baichuan's business card.In his eyes, Wang Baichuan is a good-looking young businessman of the new generation of knowledge, basically not beyond his expectations.When the business card is in hand, Singularity will invite everyone to go to the pier to board the boat.But he found that the four girls were a bit strange, one, Fan Shengmei, walked in the front boldly, and the three behind were toddling in HD. The miracle is, none of them learned to walk decently.Qidian watched and laughed, "The three of them were discussing in the car, and Andy pretended to be a model, which made me lose face in front of my friends." After a few words, the phone prompted a text message, and he saw that it was Andy. , just step away and read.It turned out that it was Andy who told Fan Shengmei the reminder just now.Singularity couldn't help laughing, which he expected.

"These neighbors are really good, like roommates in a university dormitory."

Singularity couldn't help smiling, hearing something. "Yeah, it's very fun, and we are together when we go out to play. The relationship is very good. This year, the new BMW [-]-series will be launched. I don't think the tail is as good as your old model, but maybe there are upgrades in the electronic equipment and so on. Five The departments are also getting bigger and bigger, and they have caught up with the seven departments."

"Yes, after localization, it will either be stretched or widened, and the small horsepower will drag the big truck, regardless of performance. Let's be more realistic and buy a 320 for transportation."

"The 320 is good. You have vision. It is just enough, fuel-efficient, and has all the most commendable drivability of BMW. The 318 is really a big car with a small horse."

"Hehe, Mr. Wei praised me so much that I thought I bought an Airbus 320."

"According to your age and strength, it is not uncommon to drive Gulfstream someday. You and Xiao Fan are really a pair of talents and looks, and they match very well." As she spoke, she happened to arrive at the pier. When Fan Shengmei heard the conversation between the two, she smiled and said, "Wei Don't mess with the mandarin ducks, Wang Baichuan and I are classmates."

As soon as the words fell, the three girls raised their eyebrows at Fan Shengmei.Wang Baichuan took the opportunity to say: "You guys are really friendly, and there is a little song I met last morning. I can't even imagine how you can be neighbors. It's hard to imagine that there are still such neighbors in the city."

With so many people on the boat, it seemed a bit small, Guan Juer became nervous when Wang Baichuan asked, but she just lowered her head, looked at her nose, her nose and her heart, and remained undisturbed.Qiu Yingying hurriedly said: "Isn't it very simple? On the same floor, I live with Guan Hequ, and I go in and out every day without looking up. I can't even pretend that I don't know each other." Andy added cautiously: "I I never expected to develop such a harmonious neighborhood relationship when I returned to China, I thought everyone in the city was indifferent."

Singularity is on the sidelines, Qiu Yingying's lying is not up to standard, and when encountering such doubts, it is best to deal with it leisurely like Andy.The more you talk, the more guilty you are and the more likely you are to show off.Sure enough, Wang Baichuan showed doubts on his face: "Miss Qu who didn't come today is the boss of the company, why would she live in the same room with you?"

Seeing that this was not good, Fan Shengmei immediately interrupted: "Hey, how do you know that Xiao Qu is the general manager of the company? I haven't introduced this to you."

"When Boss Lang came, you drank too much, Xiaoqu helped you in, and put a business card in my pocket by the way."

Fan Shengmei immediately looked at Qiu Yingying, and Qiu Yingying also stared, "Why did she do that trick again?" Although Qiu Yingying suppressed the past in her heart and had a triumphant smile on her face, she was still greatly stimulated by the repetition of the past. , I couldn't help repeating, "Why did she do that trick again?" Fan Shengmei quickly gave Wang Baichuan a wink, and patted Qiu Yingying on the shoulder.Andy gently explained to Wang Baichuan: "Xiaoqu has a strange personality, and she does things completely unreasonable. We often live together..." She shrugged and stopped there.

For a moment, Wang Baichuan was a little confused.It seems that Xiao Qu, the general manager, used the old trick of secretly passing a business card to snatch away the boyfriend of an ordinary girl, Qiu Yingying?And this method has been tried again and again, besides, Xiao Qu is a beautiful girl like a little vixen at first glance, and she can't find a boyfriend, which is really a bit weird, so the general manager of Xiao Qu lives in the same unit with the other two little girls, which is an explanation Makes sense.He really wanted to ask directly, but he was afraid of offending Fan Shengmei, causing Fan Shengmei to turn her face and deny her, so he could only continue to be suspicious in his heart.

Seeing this, Singularity helps to add a little material, so that the confrontation will enter a tug-of-war instead of going straight to the truth. "I think these neighbors are all weird. For example, Andy. I also wonder why she lives in that neighborhood. The car she drives is enough for her to buy a house. Today I want to pretend to be an outdated model, haha. But Xiao Wang, who drove a BMW at such a young age, must be able to understand. I have only understood the issue of time."

Wang Baichuan laughed quickly and said, "I am the one who drives the small BMW, and Mr. Wei is the one who rides the big Benz. Wei is always my role model."

Guan Ju'er didn't know how the topic got into the car, but she thought it must be Andy's boyfriend who helped divert the topic, so she also interrupted. "When Andy first came here, he drove a sports car, but the seat of the sports car is uncomfortable, as if it wraps him tightly. Mr. Wei's is still comfortable to sit in."

"Porsche is equipped with bucket-shaped sports seats, but it's better for you sleepy to sit in that kind of chair, so as not to doze off all the way, haha." She explained to Singularity: "Old Tan's family has more cars than mine. , I drove a Porsche when I was in the United States, and he thought I would drive here too, and gave him a GT2. Unexpectedly, I made these friends here, and the sports car couldn’t fit in it, so he robbed his new car, that car idiot almost Turn against me. By the way, Wang, the first time you came to Haishi, do you still remember that I just snatched a new car for everyone to go for a ride. Don’t believe Wei’s words, I will settle down as soon as I break the car, and the car is stolen Yes, the house is small, and in order to save face in front of others, he insisted that I drive a good car and live in a big house. This man, I just want to be a model."

Wang Baichuan was already speechless, it was really weird.He could only look at Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying, and felt that it was normal for them to be the only two of the five neighbors.And the last few words Andy said made him feel so guilty that he was almost dumb.Fan Shengmei didn't say a word, she felt that Wang Baichuan was suspicious of something, it's better for her to say less, so as not to say too much and make too many mistakes.

The reservoir is not big, the boat arrived on the other side quickly, and there was a pink and white fat man standing in the pier pavilion to greet him.Guan Juer smiled lightly and said: "Gao Laozhuang is here." The group of people who just disembarked laughed, only Andy didn't react, she just watched Qidian and Fatty hugging curiously, it was very disgusting.After a while, Singularity will introduce to everyone that this fat man is called Lao Fang, the boss of a listed company.It was noon, and everyone went straight to the restaurant.

Wang Baichuan and Fan Shengmei were at the end, Wang Baichuan said softly, "President Wei is very strong."

"I don't know. I only know that Andy is a friend, and don't ask too much about it."

"Let me ask another question, okay? I'm really surprised that you are such a friendly neighbor. It seems that the four of you often play together, and ditties don't appear often."

Qiu Yingying bravely turned her head back and said, "Is it true that the gentlemen will miss Xiaoqu as long as they see it, and even throw away their girlfriends?"

"Ah, I didn't mean that, I didn't mean that. I'm sorry, Katsumi."

Fan Shengmei looked at Wang Baichuan as if she were a stranger, "What's the matter with you today, you've been acting weird since you came out of Haishi. Want a little song?"

Singularity kept his ears up in the front and cared about what was going on behind him. He couldn't help laughing when he heard this. Fan Sheng's beautiful skills are much better than Andy and the two little girls, and he knows how to fight back.

Everyone followed Lao Fang into the restaurant.Singularity arranged for everyone to sit down, said to Andy, and walked away with Lao Fang. Obviously, many friends and friends of friends came to the villa today, and it is impossible not to say hello.Only Qiu Yingying refused to take a seat, she wanted to pull Guan Juer to visit with her, but Guan Juer refused, so she could only put her hands in her trouser pockets by herself, wandering around the hall.This restaurant does not have private boxes, but uses green plants and decorations to subtly separate a relatively closed space that does not interfere with each other.But this kind of space couldn't withstand Qiu Yingying's bold patronage, so Qiu Yingying even visited the people who were in the villa today.Guan Juer is the same as Andy, the two just look up and look around, Guan Juer happened to be sitting next to Andy, and said lightly: "When Xiaqiu comes back, let's go to the bathroom together." Although Andy didn't know Why do you want to go to the bathroom together, but it is estimated that this cautious girl is a little worried in a private place where she is not familiar, so she agreed.

Only Fan Shengmei was elated at such an occasion.She said to Andy, who was separated by an empty seat: "I like the lines of Ming-style furniture, which are simple and smooth, not as complicated and piled up as Qing Dynasty hardwood furniture."

Andy said: "I don't even like it. Most of the chairs don't conform to ergonomics. If you don't add some cushions, you won't be able to sit on them. But if you add some cushions, they won't return to their original appearance. If it's just for It’s beautiful, so why use the form of a chair?”

Fan Shengmei was anxious, pointing to a chair and said: "Look at that Ming-style official hat chair, the lines are so beautiful. The one placed there must be an antique."

Both Andy and Guan Juer turned their heads to look at it, and Andy quickly turned around and said: "I don't understand. I will look for a book later." Guan Juer turned his head and smiled, " The two of you have completely different aesthetic perspectives, and it will be wrong to talk about it any further."

Sitting next to Fan Shengmei, Wang Baichuan didn't say a word. He offended two people with his words just now, so he could only restrain himself now.But he watched and listened, and felt that among the four female neighbors, Andy and Guan Juer spoke directly and honestly, with a relatively high degree of credibility.If so, he shouldn't believe the words of the security guards of the building, the security guards are much less familiar with their work.What he planned to say to Fan Shengmei today had to be overthrown and reconsidered.

Qiu Yingying finally came back, and the four girls went to the bathroom together.After closing the bathroom door, Andy asked Fan Shengmei: "Frankly, isn't it easier?"

"It's too late to ride a tiger. I don't want to destroy my inherent image in his eyes."

"It's not a long-term solution."

"I... let's talk. It may not take long."

Everyone was a little puzzled, Fan Shengmei became irritable after being stared at, and waved her hands again and again: "One day counts as one day."

Guan Juer suddenly thought, "In the car that came here just now, we sent a text message to Qu Xiaoxiao, telling her that we are here to play. I don't know if she will come. If she comes, she may not keep a secret."

Seeing the color change on Fan Shengmei's face, Andy hurriedly said: "Xiao Qu only came home early in the morning. When she wakes up and sees the text message, I will tell her not to come. It's too far away and it's inconvenient. As long as I don't give her directions, she will Can’t find it here. After all, it’s not a place of public consumption.”

Only then did Fan Shengmei feel relieved.Apart from Qiu Yingying's promise to keep her mouth shut, Guan Juer looked at Andy, both of them felt that it was not feasible to do so.But friends have requests, and they are bound to do so.

When they returned to their seats, the cold dishes had already been served.It was the first time for Qiu Yingying to see such exquisite dishes, and she didn't know some dishes, and she would not hide it, so she openly asked everyone for advice.Andy doesn't know most of them, and some dishes just don't look the same when they put on a vest.Especially the blind duck tongue, I really didn't expect that thing to be taken out and served on a plate alone.The most well-informed is obviously Fan Shengmei, she tells everyone what it is and what it smells like.Only when she couldn't tell, Guan Juer would add.Wang Baichuan remained silent, watching and listening.He waited until Singularity returned before he changed places with Fan Shengmei and sat with Singularity before saying a few words.Singularity doesn't talk too much, and Fan Shengmei is in charge of the overall situation, just like she usually is on the 22nd floor.In order to avoid revealing her secrets, Fan Shengmei has been carefully controlling the topic to avoid turning the topic to the 22nd floor.

Singularity has always known that Andy's appetite is not only good, so he ordered a lot of dishes.But he didn't expect that Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying, who were traveling together, were also big eaters, and they both ate freely, without Fan Shengmei's reserve.When a fish head came up, Singularity explained that it was a fish raised in the reservoir outside the door. The only pity was that the reservoir was not very deep, and the fish head had a slight muddy smell.Guan Juer raised his head and asked in bewilderment: "What is the smell of mud?" Singularity explained.Now it was Qiu Yingying who was puzzled and said: "This is the unique fragrance of freshwater fish." And Andy wondered: "Is there a difference between the taste of freshwater fish and seawater fish?" Guan Juer even said: "They said Loach is very fishy, ​​but I really like to eat steamed loach, it’s not fishy at all.” The three looked at Singularity together, as if this comrade Singularity had created something out of nothing.

Singularity looked at Wang Baichuan with a look of injustice and said, "Brother Wang, what should I do? Or someday I will find a sea bass or a freshwater sea bass and cook them with the simplest steaming method, so that the three A girl for comparison?"

Wang Baichuan said with a smile: "I have a client who grew up by the sea. He didn't even touch the river seafood. He said it was so fishy that he would throw up when he ate it. Another client is from the Northwest. Even the fish fillets made from sea fish feel fishy. But no matter how fishy freshwater fish is, they will always come. A person's taste has something to do with the environment in which he grew up."

"Radish and green vegetables have their own preferences, as long as they are delicious." Fan Shengmei made the final conclusion.But when they were discussing, the turntable stayed in front of the three women, and the three women took off half of a huge fish head in an instant, put it on their plate and dealt with it slowly.
