Ode to joy

Chapter 46

Andy was surprised, "Is this kind of airs counted? Maybe I recognize the heart of equal treatment."

"It's very good for this kind of person to be able to do this. Just look at Qu Xiaoxiao's arrogance."

"They have the arrogance to follow them, and if I don't agree, then follow me. Just don't interfere with each other, why bother to accommodate."

"This is not called accommodating, but acknowledging reality. This is how society is."

The car was already parked in the parking space, but the two beauties in the car were arguing endlessly, and no one could convince the other.Finally, a text message came in from Fan Shengmei's mobile phone, interrupting the two of them talking about each other.It was Zhang Mingsong who sent a text message, asking if he had arrived home safely.Fan Sheng had an accident, unexpectedly, there will be a next chapter in the encounter.She typed back immediately.Seeing this, Andy went out, waiting for Fan Shengmei outside the car.

Fan Shengmei didn't reply until the text message came out, and soon received a reply from Zhang Mingsong, and her face finally recovered the joy of looking forward to it before.

Seeing this, Andy decided to return the rest of the invitations to Lao Tan.She's had enough of those boring receptions, and those big, ostentatious awards.It's a waste of time to spend time in such exaggerated places, let Lao Tan continue to enjoy it.

The two had just stepped out of the elevator when Qiu Yingying greeted them cheerfully and said, "I just completed an order for an Italian imported coffee machine on Taobao. Oh my God, today's online transaction volume surpassed that of the physical store. For the first time. Did you know that online The commission of the sales belongs to me. From now on... I will try to stop my dad from sending me money from next month, yeah."

"Ten thousand yuan of coffee machines are sold online? Will the customer be too bold?" Fan Shengmei was surprised. She is also a frequent customer of Taobao, and she is full of doubts about the kind of online store that has just opened and does not have a high reputation.

"The customer visited the store the day before yesterday and was hesitant, so I gave him the Taobao address. He probably figured it out today. Great, I will package it for him and deliver it tomorrow. I hope my good service here will attract him. Every time I come here to buy coffee beans from now on, yeah."

"Great, I'm really happy for you, it seems that this new job is very suitable for you." Fan Shengmei was still full of encouragement.

"That's what I said, the tree moved the dead and the living, Qiu jumped to the right place." Guan Ju'er came out of the bathroom, saw Fan Shengmei with a sincerely happy face, and couldn't help looking at Andy.Andy made a quick grimace at her.The two smiled tacitly.

As a senior HR, Fan Shengmei replaced Qiu Yingying with a long-term plan in mind, "You continue to work hard to strive for a stable and sustainable development of online sales. At that time, you can apply to the boss to jump out of the store and be promoted to an office. I believe the goal will be achieved soon."

But Qiu Yingying said: "I don't want to sit in an office. I think it's more fulfilling to deal with one customer at a time in the store. Actually, I was thinking that I was a little vanity when I just graduated. If I thought about it earlier Understand, it’s not necessary for an office position, you may have learned more and earned more.”

Andy immediately looked at Qiu Yingying who was alive and kicking in front of him with admiration.

Andy left, and the three people in 2202 closed their doors to discuss the people's livelihood.The proposal was issued by Qiu Yingying.

"Children's shoes, do you know how much the lowest price of a barely enough meal and two dishes in the fast food restaurant below has risen? It's 12 yuan! It's all vegetables. The simplest soy milk and meat bun in the morning is five yuan for a full meal. There is also lunch, which is only more expensive than dinner. I calculated it this way, and it costs [-] yuan a month to eat, and it is just barely enough to maintain food and clothing. It is definitely not enough. But what if we cook by ourselves? We ate at Andy’s yesterday How much does it cost to have such a hearty hot pot meal? Why don’t we cook our own food in the morning and evening, which can save half of the meal cost. Let’s pool the money to AA.”

Fan Shengmei thought for a while, and said, "I'm going on a diet at night, I'm sorry, Xiaoqiu."

"I basically work overtime at night and am not at home. Usually you are the only one to eat at night. In the morning, I spend all I have on milk cakes, and I have a lot of food."

"Besides, the house is too small, the ventilation is not good, and the smell won't go away after cooking. Xiaoqiu, it's unrealistic, and I'm also opposed to cooking." The kitchen is facing Fan Shengmei's bedroom door, and the last thing she wants is to be tainted with oily smoke. "Since two of the three don't need to cook, let's not discuss this matter. Otherwise, it will be difficult to share the electricity, water, and gas bills equally."

"If I buy a rice cooker and only cook dishes and rice in the rice cooker, I only cook it once a day in the morning and evening, and the electricity is less than one kWh a day. I will pay an extra 20 yuan for electricity every month. How about it? I am really scared by the price of fast food tonight. I’m dead, if this continues, the money I earn won’t be enough for me to eat. Besides, I’ll have to pay three months’ rent next week, so if I don’t save some money, I won’t have any money.”

This is Qiu Yingying's right as a tenant, and of course everyone cannot object.But Fan Shengmei was already worried.Nowadays, the kitchen only boils water every day, and she opens the door to breathe out when she wakes up, otherwise there will be a stuffy smell. If Qiu Yingying steams meat and fish every day in the future, she will live in the kitchen.Fan Shengmei could only sigh.what else can we do?In fact, even if Qiu Yingying cooks without informing her, she can't object.

When will we be able to escape from such a cramped living environment?

So, when Zhang Mingsong called to invite them to have dinner the next day, Fan Shengmei agreed without even thinking about it.

When she got off work, she went out at the company to touch up her makeup, and went directly to the place to eat.However, unexpectedly, Yuanjia Road was narrow, and she saw Qu Xiaoxiao sitting on the other side of the restaurant with a handsome guy.Fan Shengmei decided to pretend she didn't see her, and begged God in her heart to bless Qu Xiaoxiao not to see her.

Zhang Mingsong has the aura that a middle-aged executive should have.So he didn't get up to greet her, to help open a chair, or any other gesture of courteousness.But he chose a good restaurant with an elegant environment. He encouraged Fan Shengmei to order whatever he wanted. After Fan Shengmei ordered two dishes in a restrained manner, he added papaya bird's nest, raw abalone porridge, steamed bamboo shoot shell fish, iced foie gras, until Fan Shengmei interrupted and said that enough is enough, he added another lobster and asparagus soup before giving up.

Of course Fan Shengmei knew the price of these dishes in such a restaurant.Someone is willing to spend so much money to order food for you when you meet, which is enough to show sincerity.But Fan Shengmei is not someone who has never seen the world, she just smiled like a flower, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "There are so many dishes, it will cost Mr. Zhang."

"Just eat what you like. Do you have any arrangements for tomorrow's weekend?"

"I..." Fan Shengmei hesitated, "I go to work every day, and do the housework on weekends, so I have to clean up all day on Saturday."

"Hehe, let me take half a day off. I will pick you up tomorrow afternoon. I will play golf first, then have dinner, and then...do you have any good ideas?"

"Can I watch a movie? It's the end of the year and the New Year's Eve. There are constant dramas and the movie theater is busy." Fan Shengmei didn't know if Zhang Mingsong's family had a wife, but she felt it was inconvenient to ask about such a thing, so she came up with this idea to bring people to the public Most people with families and money dare not take other women to show off in crowded movie theaters.On the contrary, in the crowded karaoke halls and dance halls, people who come in and out are people who know the rules of the rivers and lakes tacitly, and Fan Shengmei doesn't want to be boring.

"This idea is very good. I haven't watched a movie for many years. Heh, I can't remember what dynasty the last time I watched a movie. Eat vegetables. Do you want to drink?"

Fan Shengmei dealt with it skillfully but not maturely, showing a little childishness from time to time, Zhang Mingsong had a happy face, and even made witty remarks, which made Fan Shengmei laugh endlessly.

However, how could it not be discovered by Qu Xiaoxiao.Dr. Zhao took the initiative to invite Qu Xiaoxiao to have dinner this time, and thanked Qu Xiaoxiao for relieving her emotions yesterday.As long as a doctor is willing to talk, there will always be topics that attract others. What Dr. Zhao talked about was the embarrassing things he encountered during his undergraduate internship.Dr. Zhao said that there was a patient who had a very bad temper and made trouble every day. He especially liked to scold them and intern doctors by virtue of his son-in-law's power, so they tried to give the patient bottle after bottle of IV drip, which made the patient lose energy at all. Making trouble, running to the toilet all the time is too late.

Qu Xiaoxiao laughed out loud when she heard it, especially since it was a prank made by the gentle and elegant Dr. Zhao, she liked it even more, and kept asking the patient if they found out that they were being tricked, and they later told the patient if they had told the prank.But when she was beaming with joy, she saw Fan Shengmei.

Qu Xiaoxiao didn't hide it, she pointed Fan Shengmei to Doctor Zhao. "Over there, look, my neighbor, why do I feel that she is in a relationship with that middle-aged man across the street. Do they look like it?"

"I haven't entered the role yet, but we should have a good impression of each other."

Qu Xiaoxiao took out her mobile phone, took a photo and passed it on to Andy.When it was over, he put down his phone and smiled mischievously: "Share the news with another neighbor."

"Do you want to go over and say hello?"

"No, she just had a relationship last weekend, and she blamed me for breaking her disguise. Others sympathized and shed tears without principle, but they didn't ask where the root of the matter was. Don't mess with her. Hmph." Qu Xiaoxiao raised her glass to take a sip of the wine in anger, but she raised it to her mouth only to realize that there was Dr. Zhao beside her.

Dr. Zhao looked in Fan Shengmei's direction, and wondered, "Last weekend...it's like this today in less than seven days? Awesome."

When Qu Xiaoxiao heard it, she felt extremely happy, she was looking for the right person, and she resonated with her very much.Originally, although she said that she would not disturb the situation, she was ready to move in her heart, but with Dr. Zhao's consensus, she was so happy that she didn't bother to meddle in Fan Shengmei's business.

Andy received a text message from Qu Xiaoxiao while reading a book, "Fan Shengmei is dating a middle-aged man? Does that man have a wife?" Andy looked at the MMS message and thought it might be Zhang Mingsong, but she didn't know Whether Zhang Mingsong has a wife or not, he had no choice but to send a text message to Qu Xiaoxiao, telling her not to interfere in other people's affairs.At the same time, send a text message to remind Fan Shengmei to pay attention.

If Andy doesn't stop, Qu Xiaoxiao won't be bothered to be bored.But as soon as Andy came to stop her with a text message, her rebellious psychology skyrocketed.For the time being, she didn't care about Dr. Zhao who just hooked up with her, and said with bright eyes, "I'm going to say hello to my neighbors."

"Why do I feel like you are doing something bad?"

Qu Xiaoxiao immediately smiled beamingly, "No, no." But she denied it, and walked out early.Just approaching Fan Shengmei, Jiao Didi said nonchalantly: "Sister Fan, you are eating here tonight..."

Fan Shengmei was reminded by Andy's text message, raised a beautiful eyebrow, and asked lightly: "Excuse me, Miss...know me?"

Qu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became a little confused, "Hey, what are you pretending, the neighbors don't know each other anymore? What's the name of this gentleman?" Qu Xiaoxiao wanted to take out the business card, but raised her eyes and looked between the man and the woman. Gu Lulu turned around and gave up touching the business card. Fan Shengmei's strategy of pretending to be ignorant worked, and the middle-aged man didn't even look at her.

Qu Xiaoxiao returned home in defeat.

Fan Shengmei looked at Qu Xiaoxiao's back coldly, and explained to Zhang Mingsong: "I live in a rented house, and there are several girls on one floor, but I can't recognize them, especially the ones who are out of line. I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang."

"People who don't understand can't be treated. Pretending not to know is to give them face. Well done."

Fan Shengmei smiled, her smile was extremely charming.She won tonight.

Qu Xiaoxiao looked back at Zhang Mingsong unwillingly, once she turned her head, Fan Shengmei was worried, but Fan Shengmei could only pretend nothing had happened.It is impossible for her to go to Qu Xiaoxiao's table and expose Qu Xiaoxiao's chest covered with several layers of sponge.

Dr. Zhao called out to pay the bill while Qu Xiaoxiao was walking away.Unexpectedly, Qu Xiaoxiao would turn back after less than three tricks, and when the waiter brought the bill, just in time for Qu Xiaoxiao to return to her seat, it was as if she was rushing to ask Qu Xiaoxiao to pay the bill.Doctor Zhao showed embarrassment on his face, and before he had time to read the bill, he took out his credit card and handed it to the waiter, hoping that the waiter would leave quickly.

Qu Xiaoxiao said cleverly: "Hey, you plan to settle the bill quietly? Doctor Zhao, I love you." She picked the restaurant and ordered the dishes. She knew the prices here, but Doctor Zhao didn't.She took a look at the bill in the waiter's hand, took out the recharge card of the restaurant and showed it to Dr. Zhao, and then gave it to the waiter to exchange for Dr. Zhao's credit card. "I have a meal card here, it's free, if you don't get it, you don't get it." As he said, he made a face with round eyes.

That being the case, Dr. Zhao didn't force it, "It's okay to treat me today, I'm so sorry. I will find a restaurant next time and treat you to another meal, so as not to owe you all the time. You don't seem to have said a word to your neighbor talk?"

"She doesn't recognize me, and she actually says she doesn't know me. Forget it, if you don't recognize me, you don't recognize me. There are many poor relatives who don't recognize me, one or two." Qu Xiaoxiao curled her lips.

"We all know that you are going to do bad things, it's only strange to recognize you."

"No, I won't do bad things." Qu Xiaoxiao acted coquettishly, if her parents had said that to her, she would have screamed back impatiently, but she likes to play tricks with Dr. Zhao. "Tomorrow you have a rest, and it's okay to go to bed late. Well, I'll arrange another event for you. It's fun and cheap. Do you want to go? It's really fun, I promise. Or you can treat this event by yourself ?Hey, you can’t pay overnight if you owe money.”

Dr. Zhao liked the beautiful woman with colorful expressions in front of him, and with the support of "you can't spend the night in debt", he followed Qu Xiaoxiao to a nightclub, a lively bar that he had never seen before.There was a large transparent wine glass in the middle of the bar, and when they entered it, it was spinning wildly. The onlookers screamed together, and when the glass stopped, a person who was spinning dizzily rolled out of it.As soon as they sat down, Qu Xiaoxiao signed up for them.Qu Xiaoxiao pretended to ask for instructions after registering her name, "Uh, Doctor Zhao, are you not afraid? I like it so much, it doesn't matter how you scream inside."

"There are some medical reasons, I can't enter this high-speed rotating body. It's very interesting to watch you play."

Qu Xiaoxiao had nothing to do with Dr. Zhao, but she didn't dare to force her, so she made a face and fined Dr. Zhao a bottle of beer.Soon, it was Qu Xiaoxiao's turn, and she immediately jumped into it happily.Dr. Zhao stood by the sidelines and clearly heard the high-decibel screams coming from the wine glass.Just when Dr. Zhao thought that the one who jumped out would be a nirvana elf, Qu Xiaoxiao rolled into his arms like noodles.In such a state of embarrassment, but still yelling "One more time, one more time" inarticulately, Dr. Zhao couldn't laugh or cry, it was the first time he saw such a fun girl.He fed Qu Xiaoxiao a sip of wine, and Qu Xiaoxiao slowly recovered, but Qu Xiaoxiao simply clung to Dr. Zhao's arms and did not leave.The second time around, the two did the same thing again, and the second time, Dr. Zhao was very familiar, but when he saw Qu Xiaoxiao in his arms with straight eyes and a naive look, he couldn't help kissing her.

Then, how could Qu Xiaoxiao, who had recovered, not make a comeback.

▼komi
Fan and Wang do have mutual hiding place, but they also have sincerity in each other. Are adults dating without reservation from the beginning?Andy and Qidian met for the first time, and they both paid attention to taking a taxi there. It's a pity that hiding the rich is low-key, and hiding the poor is vanity. Andy and Xiaoqu know what the problem between Fan Wang is, but they are alone. Pretending to be ignorant, making it embarrassing to expose on the spot, if they are really good for Fan, can point out her problems, untie her knots, and let her and Wang be honest with each other in a good atmosphere, it may not be impossible to achieve something Good marriage.

▼jiayii
I think Fan Xiaomei has also made progress. She can admit in front of Zhang that she lives in a rented house, and frankly admits that Andy is the master of the banquet while she is just a supporting role and a follower. This is better than before when she was in front of Wang. Come calmly.
