Ode to joy

Chapter 52

Because of this, Qiu Yingying found out that something was wrong. She missed an expense, which was the monthly phone bill.She had to stand on the street and recalculate for the fourth time.After all, she could only touch her forehead, but the cold sweat did not break out at such a critical moment to add to the atmosphere.When Qiu Yingying thought that she had just boasted to her father in front of Haikou that she had enough money and didn't need to send money, she felt embarrassed and called back to ask for money after only 3 minutes.After much deliberation, she could only tighten her belt, save the phone bill this month from the vegetable money, and start making bento boxes to take to work tomorrow, which can save a lot.

But Qiu Yingying was still very happy after all, and finally she didn't need to send money from her family. According to what her father said just now, it was a major event for the daughter of Lao Qiu's family to have the ability to gain a foothold in a big city by herself.Just cut back on food and clothing, and you won’t have to do that next month, and you won’t have to pay rent next month.Thinking of this, Qiu Yingying couldn't help jumping up a bit.But when she passed the bakery, she was still depressed for a minute, and after a minute of ideological struggle, she decided not to go in and spend money, but to go home and make an egg burrito to reward herself.Fortunately, little depression can't break her self-reliance happiness. Seeing that she is getting closer and closer to home, she jumps more and more times, even jumping into the elevator.

It's just that she blushed this time, because she was a little embarrassed to see Wei Wei in the elevator watching her jump in with a smile.

"Why are you so happy?"

"Salary is paid." Qiu Yingying originally wanted to pretend to be calm in front of outsiders, but she couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart, so she couldn't help adding, "It's more than expected."

"Hey, it's not easy, we need to celebrate. I just went to work in a new company, and it's not easy to achieve this result. Online shopping business is very good?"

"Ah, Mr. Wei, do you really remember the little things I told you? Thank you, thank you, no wonder Andy treats you so well. Mr. Wei, you are also in business, can I ask you how to make your business bigger ?"

Such a big topic, Singularity almost misfired. "Like what you are doing now, with enthusiasm and drive, as time goes by, a breakthrough is just around the corner."

The elevator reached the 22nd floor, and Singularity went out to 2201, but Qiu Yingying was still not satisfied, so she followed. "Did you accumulate in this way too? Would it be a little slow?"

"The effect of accumulation is a multiplier effect within a certain period, if the path is right."

"Am I on the right track?"

Qi nodded his head, this question should simply belong to the life mentor.Especially for Qiu Yingying who has never even touched the door, even though he has thousands of experiences, he doesn't know where to start.He took out the key to open the door and went in, only to find that Andy had arrived home, scratching his head in the kitchen.He very much hoped that Qiu Yingying would see through her eyes and not be a light bulb, so as not to affect the family dinner he finally got, but Qiu Yingying refused to let him do so, and insisted on following in.Singularity had no choice but to continue to be Qiu Yingying's life mentor. "What is business? It is trading with people. Why others trade with you instead of others depends on two things. You figure out what other people think, what they think, you think earlier and more thoughtfully than others, and of course others will be persuaded by you. For example, what do you think I want to do most now?"

"You want to eat the most..." Qiu Yingying happily replied with only four words, and then she realized that what she wants most now is definitely not eating dinner, but eating people.She giggled slyly, and hurriedly said goodbye.But before closing the door, I couldn't help saying, "It's so comfortable to have a heated room."

Only then was Singularity relieved, and went to hug Andy.But he couldn't help complaining, "How do you do business with such qualifications." Andy was full of guilt for the singularity, so he didn't refute.But Singularity himself quickly corrected, "Courage is commendable, small business is good."

"Should I tell her the truth?"

"Don't. She's so young and doesn't have a strong mental capacity. If she sees the ceiling so quickly, what hope does she have in life?"

"But if I tell you the cruelest truth and show you the prospect of Mo Hei, isn't that unfair to you? Bah, these words are very hypocritical."

"I am willing."

"I seem to be bullying you."

"This... can be."

"It's a big deal, don't underestimate it, okay?"

"What we can afford is not a big deal. You just need to look at the most extreme possibility. What is the biggest darkness? It's nothing more than a problem with the child. But if you think about it again, even if there are ten cute but silly like You and I can afford a child like your brother. What’s more, there is a high probability that we will have angelic children. We have smart heads, and your height can make up for my shortcomings. You are so beautiful, these It's all genes, too, right?"

Andy nodded, "But you don't have to think about it. I let you take the risk."

Qi Dian smiled and said: "I have been thinking about a major issue since I met you, when is the right time to propose and how to propose so that it will not be rejected..." He paused here, with a sly smile, "I just found out that there is no need to propose, We've all skipped so much to go straight to the kids."

Andy couldn't help laughing out loud, "No, no, I can't take advantage of you. Kneeling on one knee, reciting poems, and talking nasty words are all indispensable. Singularity, I don't know how to love you, without you, What should I do. Shall I propose to you?"

Singularity was finally startled, stunned for a while, then knelt down on one knee, and chanted: "Andy, marry me!"

"Are you serious?" Andy jumped a step away, and was also stunned. Marriage proposal?It seems to be a very important decision, so it can be solved at will?It seems child's play. "Isn't it necessary to meet uncles and aunts for tea and give red envelopes?"

"We're all self-reliant adults who can make our own decisions. Marry me, Andy. The ring will be put on tomorrow."

"Of course I would. The ring doesn't need mending. I don't have the patience to wear that thing."

Singularity was pulled up by Andy, and now it felt like a joke to him, "Isn't it very solemn? Shouldn't it be very romantic? You didn't need me to go through five stages and kill six generals, so you agreed to me so easily?" He walked away dubiously After a few minutes of pure love, she finally returned to normal. She thought that the woman opposite had a head of the type that one plus one equals two.

But the marriage proposal procedure was so outrageous that the two of them were a little bit emboldened after all, lying on both ends of the table and staring at each other speechlessly, that's it?that's it?The two declared at almost the same time, "I'm serious." After the declaration, they both felt that the other party might think that they were not serious, but if they declared again, they would fall into the cliché of a comic play.They had to look at each other in distress.Finally Andy got up, "I'm serious about cooking dinner for you, to show I'm serious."

"On the day I proposed, I ate a dinner that you cooked for me. I will remember it."

Both of them tried their best to stuff the content into the pocket of marriage proposal to increase the sense of thickness and sincerity, so as not to feel sorry for each other.But things backfired, and Andy challenged the difficult dishes to make very painful. In the end, the two put on their coats and went out of the house to look for food.Since it is said that it is a marriage proposal, of course we have to have a big meal to celebrate.

Qu Xiaoxiao traveled to several places this time, visiting customers one by one. Those customers were introduced by friends, and then she went to the door to get acquainted first.Every day, he eats, drinks, and talks about scenes, and he is treated like a child.Qu Xiaoxiao could only comfort herself distressedly, at least she could stand out from a group of fat, middle-aged, strange uncles and leave a deep impression on others.Sure enough, when she left the place and called back to thank her for the reception, as long as Jiao Didi said "I'm Xiaoqu", the other party would reply softly "Ah, it's Xiaoqu", no one would mistake her.But Qu Xiaoxiao is not very confident all the time, is such a familiarity useful?
Visiting customers like a forced march is very tiring, Qu Xiaoxiao really wants to have a good sleep, according to the schedule, she should go home tomorrow.But the company's financial manager called to report that the salary had been paid, and he waited for Mr. Qu to go home and sign.The word "go home" made Qu Xiaoxiao think of Dr. Zhao in a heart-rending way.Qu Xiaoxiao jumped up immediately, packed her luggage, asked about air tickets, went straight to the airport, bought a first-class seat, and rushed home overnight, she wanted to see Dr. Zhao as soon as possible.She kept deserting while checking in, thinking about whether to notify Dr. Zhao.She arrived in the middle of the night, and the task of picking up the plane was a tough one. Is she worthy enough for Dr. Zhao to pick her up?If it was notified, but Dr. Zhao didn't come to pick him up, wouldn't the two of them have a grudge when they meet in the future?And she absolutely didn't want anything to come between her and Dr. Zhao.She rolled her eyes and thought about it, made a quick decision, and decided to wrong herself once and focus on the future.

Sitting next to Qu Xiaoxiao was a fat woman. When she boarded the plane, she saw the fat woman smile "good-naturedly". The slender-waisted snake flew in front of the fat woman, and did not calm down until it took off. The whole person curled up his legs and fell asleep beautifully on the large seat.The contrast between the two is so obvious that anyone passing by will look twice deliberately.The fat woman was so depressed that she never closed her eyes all the way, while Qu Xiaoxiao was sleeping with a smile all over her face.

After getting off the plane, it was past eleven o'clock, Qu Xiaoxiao fell asleep lightly, and called a taxi to go home in a daze.After getting out of the car and pulling the luggage into the community, she almost closed her eyes half-closed, but her hands and feet were so weak from sleep, that the luggage wheel fell to the ground.Qu Xiaoxiao helplessly sat down on the suitcase, too lazy to move her nest, even too lazy to scream, she kept her eyes open and didn't even bother to think of a solution.

The winter night was silent, so Qu Xiaoxiao soon heard a soft whimper coming from nowhere.The voice was so soft and intermittent that Qu Xiaoxiao wondered if it was some stray cat shouting cold in the cold wave.She turned her head reluctantly, then jumped up suddenly, it was probably a cold and hungry stray cat, yes, her trip was extended in the middle, and the cat food she left for Guan Juer was not enough.She looked around, even though her head was dizzy, she quickly found the source of the sound, yes, it came from the big rock, and that kind of place is often the nest of stray cats.

Qu Xiaoxiao was about to dive in, when a voice came from behind, "Xiao Qu, what are you doing?"

Qu Xiaoxiao turned her head and saw that it was Andy and Wei Wei who came holding hands. The fire of gossip in her heart was instantly ignited, and they came back together in the middle of the night. Is classmate Wei planning to go home?But she forcibly swallowed the gossip into her stomach, and refused to startle the snake. "Help me look at my luggage. There seems to be a stray cat crying over there. I'll take care of it."

Andy said: "We'll help you carry your luggage up. Be careful not to drop it."

When Qu Xiaoxiao heard that someone was helping with the luggage, she jumped up happily and went straight to the boulder.Singularity couldn't help being curious, "She actually has sympathy?" But before Singularity finished speaking, Qu Xiaoxiao screamed in front of the boulder, and the two were so shocked that they quickly dropped their luggage and ran over to see, following Qu Xiaoxiao's voice. fingers, they saw someone crying softly on the boulder.Moreover, such a big movement around did not interrupt the crying of the man.

Because the crying person was a girl, Andy stepped forward and said, "Girl, it's cold outside, you should go home. Would you like us to help you?"

Seeing that the man didn't respond, Qu Xiaoxiao sneaked closer, and said halfway: "Smells of alcohol, drunken gods, Andy, stop shouting, we're calling security."

Singularity ran errands and called security at the gate.Everyone rushed to help the drunk girl up, Qu Xiaoxiao screamed again, "Fan Shengmei, Fan Shengmei, it's her, it's her."

Singularity realized something, and seized the time to say to Andy: "It's good that we are so direct and simple, it's the best."

Andy nodded again and again, just like two points and a line in geometry, as long as it is not a straight line, the connection between two points must have twists and turns.Not as good as they are, simplicity is a blessing.They were finally relieved.

Andy and Qu Xiaoxiao dragged Fan Shengmei home, and Singularity followed behind, dragging Qu Xiaoxiao's luggage.Seeing that Fan Shengmei was so drunk, Qu Xiaoxiao asked: "What's wrong with her? With Wang Baichuan or with that old man?" Seeing Andy shaking his head, Qu Xiaoxiao said again: "Drunk like this, do you want to send her off?" Go to the hospital?"

Only then did Qidian interject: "Your complexion is fine, I don't think so. When I go to the hospital, I just get a hangover shot, and I'll suffer for that shot."

"Why are you crying? It seems very sad, why?" Qu Xiaoxiao couldn't bear it anymore, took out her mobile phone to take pictures of Fan Shengmei, but it was a pity that only two photos were taken, and Andy stopped her.She put back her phone with a grin, and made a face for Andy.

Singularity just smiled and remained silent.

When the group came to 2202, Qu Xiaoxiao said very righteously: "Leave the people to me, and throw the luggage here, you go on, go on, leave me alone."

Qi Dian smiled and said: "You are happy to find us, little girl, I will take Andy home, don't lie."

Andy saw that there was no light coming from the crack in the door of 2202, and decided to get Fan Shengmei to 2201 so as not to wake up the sleeping Guan and Qiu.Qu Xiaoxiao dragged Fan Shengmei to the big sofa in 2201, and left in a friendly manner.Andy looked at Fan Shengmei and Singularity, "You should go home too, it's getting late."

Singularity smiled and said: "I originally planned to stay with you all the way, but it's over, the basic conditions have disappeared."

Andy blushed, kicked his shoes, and kicked Singularity out the door one by one.So Qu Xiaoxiao's burst of laughter came from the corridor, "Brother Wei, you are so inferior, I have nothing to say, you are so inferior."

Andy helped Fan Shengmei wash her face, change her clothes, and went to sleep until she was exhausted.However, in the middle of the night, she was woken up by a loud noise. Her heart was beating for a long time before she thought of Fan Shengmei sleeping on the couch in the living room. "Fan Shengmei, it's me, Andy. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'll turn on the light."

Fan Shengmei stared blankly at Andy, and asked inarticulately, "Why am I here?"

"You drank too much, fell on the side of the road, and was picked up by me. Continue to sleep?"

"I want to drink water." Fan Shengmei wanted to come by herself, but when her legs gave way, she fell to the ground like noodles.

Andy poured water for Fan Shengmei and held it for her to drink.Seeing that Fan Shengmei's eyes were straightened, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes, she thought for a while and said, "If you need to talk, just say so. First, I will keep it a secret, and second, I will keep it a secret."

Fan Shengmei stared blankly at the floor for a long time before shaking her head. "Please spend the night, I'll go back to sleep."

Andy didn't force her, helped her up, packed her clothes and bag, and sent them to 2202 together.Only now did she agree to Qu Xiaoxiao's words, Fan Shengmei is busy tonight.

But when Andy went to 2202 to greet Guan Juer to go to work in the morning, he accidentally saw that Fan Shengmei hadn't gone to work, and she hadn't put on makeup yet, and her face was very pale.Fan Shengmei also saw Andy, and quickly glanced behind her. She felt that Guan Juer was still in the room and was getting dressed in a hurry. She came out quietly and said softly: "I just took two hours off. Thank you last night."

"You're welcome. But it was Xiaoqu who saw you first last night."

Fan Shengmei was startled, and Andy could only shrug his shoulders when he saw this, and entered the elevator with Guan Juer who rushed out.Fan Shengmei stood in the corridor, looking at the door of room 2203 with fear on her face, and returned to the empty room 2202 after a long time, sitting in front of the vanity mirror staring at her face in a daze.But her top priority is to dig out the phone number of a seller of Taobao coupons from countless phone numbers, and tell the seller that she has a shopping card to transfer.The seller responded quickly, and the two made an appointment to meet at the entrance of the supermarket to which the shopping card belonged.

Fan Shengmei tried her best to cover up the swollen eyelids with superb makeup skills, but after a night of illness and alcohol, no amount of cosmetics could cover up the dull eyes, so she had to wear black over the door.Although they hadn't seen each other for a few days, the coupon seller and Fan Shengmei recognized each other from a long distance away. The two of them went to the cashier to swipe their cards to check the amount.Fan Shengmei walked under the rare and transparent sunlight in winter, and couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief, then she was stunned for a few seconds, then turned around to look for the subway station, and rushed to work.By the way, turn on the phone and send a text message to Zhang Mingsong, thanking him for sending her to the gate last night.In fact, she vaguely remembered that Zhang Mingsong was also drunk by her last night and called his driver to drive. The driver kindly sent her to the gate of Ode to Joy.
