Ode to joy

Chapter 58

Andy put down his work in the afternoon to attend an annual industry high-level seminar with the word "high-end" in the title. The invitation was forwarded by Lao Tan. Lao Tan said that this seminar would not invite reporters, record or record it. But I kept silent, so I can speak freely, and I can probably hear a lot of in-depth analysis that claims to be "irresponsible".As soon as Andy heard that there were so many "nos", he dropped the "don't go" mantra and dropped everything and went straight to the meeting in the afternoon.Sure enough, most of the attendees agreed with her. In the past, any high-end meeting would be held at 15:00, and the official opening time must be 15:30, or even later. But this meeting was held on schedule. .Andy was only able to exchange business cards with a limited number of people.Looking at the business card, Andy understood that she was able to participate in the meeting entirely because of Lao Tan's participation in the listing of a friend's company in the United States. Sure enough, she saw that most of the attendees knew each other well, and there were very few newcomers like her.Naturally, such a young, beautiful and tall newcomer became an alternative focus besides the big names in the venue.

Naturally, all of the guest speakers were well-known. Andy had heard of some of them, and some of them hadn’t, but one can draw conclusions from a series of titles. At least she has a general understanding of the national conditions through three months of intensive reading.Just as Andy's head was running at full speed, recording and analyzing, she heard three familiar words behind a string of official titles, "Wei Guoqiang".She couldn't help being stunned, life meets everywhere.

But she already knew that the name Wei Guoqiang was really a very common name. There was a colleague in her company named Guoqiang.And her Singularity is surnamed Wei, so she also confirmed whether the Singularity has anything to do with Wei Guoqiang.Maybe, very likely, this country is not as strong as that country, and she only hopes that He Guoqiang is like that bag of documents that she threw into the pool of Lao Tan's house without hesitation. Old Turtle Shen Bo never appeared in her life.

But Andy still froze his face, squinting at the tall and burly Wei Guoqiang who came to speak on stage.She began to drink water, and while drinking, she was lucky. Wei Guoqiang was so wretched that he abandoned his wife and children, so how could he have such a strong theoretical foundation.

But I also thought of the old Chinese saying that since ancient times, there is no poison and no husband.Then she forced herself, even if this country is really that country, she should ignore him and treat him as a passerby.But rationality is often unable to defeat the enemy, and Andy can't help drinking water in a long stream, his eyes scanned Wei Guoqiang's up, down, left, and right corners clearly.

After the meeting, it's dinner.Andy deliberately sat down with two colleagues, whispering to each other about the market making in the past few days, and the conversation became lively.But, unable to bear it, his eyes searched for Wei Guoqiang on the court.She was too conspicuous, and soon, Wei Guoqiang realized that a young beauty was paying attention to him, and he also looked over.The two looked at each other, as if they had a tacit understanding, their expressions were serious, even aggressive.Andy was angry for no reason, ah, why is Wei Guoqiang aggressive towards her.She drank the water in front of her in one gulp, strode over, walked straight to Wei Guoqiang in front of everyone, leaned over and asked solemnly, "Sorry, Mr. Wei, I would like to ask a little question. 30 years ago, you Did Shan County jump in line and settle down?"

Wei Guoqiang was obviously taken aback, "Why do you ask about such a long time ago?"

Andy caught the clues on this person's face, and asked: "So do you know a woman named He?"

Wei Guoqiang was even more surprised, and looked at Andy pretending to be calm, but the expression in his eyes was extremely complicated: "Why do you ask this?"

"Understood." Andy's heart was full of swearing words in Daishan dialect that were surging like foam, but she forcibly restrained herself and turned back to her seat.The waiter filled the water glass when she left her seat, and she returned to drink it again.After that, he no longer looked at Wei Guoqiang.In my mind, this person's name has been replaced by other words: **** beast.

After the meal, Andy put on his coat and walked out with his colleagues. When they arrived at the parking lot, they stopped talking for several minutes.

At this time, Wei Guoqiang hurried over and said from a long way: "Girl, I have something to tell you, what should I call you?"

Seeing this, the colleagues had no choice but to make an appointment to talk later and leave, so it is inconvenient to participate.Andy squinted at Wei Guoqiang approaching, but there was no glass of water to drink, so he had to hold his breath and try to calm down.

Wei Guoqiang stopped about two meters away, panting and said: "What's the name, please?"

Andy was still silent, looking at Wei Guoqiang who was right in front of him with disdain, and said after a long time: "I don't want to know you." After finishing speaking, she realized that there are four more decent words called "Don't dare to climb high". Of course he would not change his words, but turned his head and got into the car, ignoring it and leaving.Wei Guoqiang stayed where he was, watching the orange rear of the car disappear into the night.

After driving for a long time, Andy suddenly realized that he was lost.She muttered and cursed, but she could only gather her mind and concentrate on finding the iconic building to stop at.The first thing to do when parking is to get out of the car and look through the trunk to take out two bottles of water.Then I called Singularity, and when I got through, I said straight to the point, "Shit, I met a beast and I'm lost now."

Singularity was on a social occasion, and was shocked when he heard the words, "Where are you, I'll look for you, do you want to call the police?"

"Shit, and it's very hypocritical. While saying that you don't want to know each other, you go up to me to provoke you. You don't need to come here, I've already called a taxi."

"What the hell happened? Aren't you in a meeting?"

"At the meeting, I met a bunch of gangsters, old and new, the one in Daishan County who committed crimes. Let's not talk, I'll go home with a taxi."

Singularity is stunned, no wonder, no wonder, Andy is now only emotionally disturbed when he encounters those old things in Daishan County.He said hello to his tablemate, saying that there was something wrong with his fiancee, and hurried to Ode to Joy.

Fan Shengmei just got off work, just walked out of the company gate, when she received a call from home.Her mother cried and said that the sufferer came to the door again with the bill, asking for another 1000 yuan.Fan Shengmei sighed helplessly, and as expected, she came: "The classmates and friends around me have been afraid of borrowing money from me these few years. They hide from me when they see me. If you say one thousand is one thousand, is it easy to borrow money?"

"But you are the only one in this family who can still borrow money. A Mei, just this time, this time you are already in jail, your brother will always have a long memory this time."

"I hope, when will he have a long memory? Breaking his leg won't make it long. I'll go out overnight to borrow it."

"Amei, tomorrow, I have to pay another thousand. You worked hard tonight, so borrow more. I can't help it. I'll ask your brother to come out and thank you. We're all old and there's nothing we can do. It's up to you to hold your brother back."

Fan Shengmei was speechless for a while, "I can borrow it if I can, but I can't help it if I can't..."

"Be sure to borrow it. They knocked on the windows of our house. They said that if we can't get the money, we can't live on. Who made your brother mess up? We have no choice but to count on you, or what else? What about the family. Amy, we are getting old and there is nothing we can do."

Fan Shengmei said irritably: "Let the sufferer go home and wait at the bank tomorrow. They will take as much as I borrow."

Fan Shengmei disconnected the phone, let out a long breath, and stared blankly at the incoming bus. When everyone was about to get on the bus, she realized that she was going to get on the bus too, so she lost her seat.She wobbled along with the car, restless, nothing but restless, and it seemed that things were not over until her brother was released.Why don't they think about it, forcing their daughter like this, she is not a boss, she is just a migrant worker, forcing money every day, do they want to force her to be an escort?Distraught, I heard the phone calling again.She took it out and saw that it was Wang Baichuan.She didn't want to pick it up, but after hesitating for a while, she picked it up anyway.

"You... I happen to be in my hometown these few days, and I heard about your brother..."

"Well, it's not normal for him to get into trouble one day. Do you have anything else to do? I'll hang up. I'm in the car and can't stand still."

"It is said that the other party has relatives in the hospital, and it is very convenient to prescribe medicine in the hospital."

"Ah..." Fan Shengmei almost said "what to do". After all these years of work and well-trained training, she stuck these three words between her teeth. "Thanks for letting me know. I'll take care of it."

After talking about Wang Baichuan's phone call, Fan Shengmei's breath became even more unsteady, and she wished she could smash the window and jump out of the car to breathe.How should we deal with this matter?The only way is to find the family members of the sufferer and talk to them softly and softly in a low voice until the poisonous gas of being beaten and injured is dispelled in the other party's heart, and they are willing to end decently.But who will talk about it?If her parents can do it, they should have talked about it in the past two days, why don't they wait until today and ask for another thousand.Her brother, it's not that material, maybe it's a disagreement again, and the second fight begins.Only her.For this kind of thing, it is not okay to entrust a friend or anything. Only the relatives in the family can come forward, put down their attitude and make a promise, and the other party can accept it.This matter, only she came forward.However, she has no other time except for two days on weekends.

After much deliberation, she thought of the urgent need of 1000 yuan.It seems that the daily bill is indeed full of moisture.That being the case, how could she pay in full.Another thought, if they don't pay in full, will my parents be able to bear the threat of the bitter master?

While frowning, Zhang Mingsong's call came in.

"Xiao Fan, everyone who was drunk by you the day before yesterday will meet for dinner tonight, and we will pay respects to the heroine Fan. Are you off work? Do you have an appointment tonight?"

"I'm a suburban company here. I get off work early and I'm already on my way home. This... I was self-willed last time. Fortunately, Mr. Zhang didn't blame me yesterday. Why do I have the nerve to come out and scare people today?"

"Come out, let's talk about drinking too much today, it's cold, let's have a hot pot together. Where should I pick you up this time? Let's go to Jiuding tonight."

Jiuding?Fan Shengmei finally saw a ray of blue sky in front of her eyes in a top-notch restaurant. "The subway is passing by. I can just go there by myself. Mr. Zhang, you still owe me a round of golf."

"Haha, definitely, in a word."

Fan Shengmei immediately returned home, she had to go home to change clothes and remake up, she was not in the mood this morning, and went out in disgrace, that was not the appearance of going to Jiuding.

Qu Xiaoxiao came out from Qiu Yingying's place and immediately called Dr. Zhao, but Dr. Zhao's phone was turned off for some reason.Qu Xiaoxiao immediately thought that Dr. Zhao might be in the operating room, wow, what a god.She sat patiently in the car and sent a text message to Dr. Zhao, making an appointment to meet after get off work, and then went back to the company to work.The opening of the first business bid is about to begin, and she has to be busy with the relationship. The wife of a key person in the bidding party is on a business trip in Haishi, and she has to take over in her father's car to take care of the escort.Ever since I was a child, I have known that entertaining clients is hard work, and you have to talk to people and talk nonsense. It is only when you really get started that it is absolutely hard work.Fortunately, there is profit beckoning ahead. Qu Xiaoxiao loves money, and she is very motivated when she has a clear goal.

Until it was almost time to get off work, the wife of the key person got tired and asked Qu Xiaoxiao to put her in the hotel to fend for herself. Qu Xiaoxiao begged for dinner in every possible way. Xiao Xiao was free.Just at this time, she received a text message from Dr. Zhao who came late, "Two major operations, very tired, go home directly after get off work. I will make an appointment next time." Qu Xiaoxiao replied to the text message saying okay, but the steering wheel was in her hand. Turn, kill and rush to the hospital.She had known that Dr. Zhao would definitely answer this sentence.

Today she was driving her father's car, and Dr. Zhao had never seen her before, so it was convenient for her to sit back and wait.

Sure enough, as soon as the off-duty time came, doctors, men and women, entered the parking lot one after another.Qu Xiaoxiao took a vantage point and watched, and finally saw Dr. Zhao coming out with a male colleague, so she drove over slowly, sliding to synchronize with Dr. Zhao, and then lowered the window. "Hey, tired and stupid person, I'll take you home."

Dr. Zhao looked into the window of the luxurious Mercedes, and was taken aback, "Why are you here?" He said goodbye to his colleagues, got into Qu Xiaoxiao's car, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Qu Xiaoxiao thanked Dr. Zhao very much for not playing big games in public to get into her car. She quickly locked the car door and drove with all her strength to avoid Dr. Zhao's remorse. "I pick up and drop off customers all day. Fortunately, the customer is old. After a day of tossing, he doesn't even want to eat dinner. He just wants to sleep. When I went shopping with the customer, I saw a very beautiful Moka pot. It is used in the office, and the customer likes it very much, so I simply bought an extra one and sent it to you. Just put it in the back seat, you can take a look."

Dr. Zhao looked at Qu Xiaoxiao, who was driving seriously, and then looked back at the big bag. He said slowly, "Thank you. It seems that you are also very tired today. Find a place to put me down. I live quite far away, so I turned back to the hospital to pick up my own car and go back."

"Don't let me go, I won't see you if I let you go. I was wrong in playing cards last night and I was out of mood, but you can't ignore me because of it. I'd rather you poke your nose and call me ignorant, superficial and rascal than let you get out of the car. "

Since Dr. Zhao was in junior high school, he had always been surrounded by affectionate girls, but this was the first time he had seen them like this, and he was shocked.He stared blankly at Qu Xiaoxiao, and couldn't help crying and laughing, "Where are you going to take me? Can I open the car window and call for help?"

"Take me to the restaurant and have dinner with me. Then go to my house. I didn't lock the windows, so you can call me whatever you want." Qu Xiaoxiao heard that Dr. Zhao didn't sternly refuse, so she hurried on.

"What a tragedy. I just learned that the criminal law only criminalizes the trafficking of women and children, not adult men. Xiaoqu, I started to feel that I am not fun with you last night. I am sorry. You can punish me however you want, But I don't want to continue with the boring stuff."

In fact, Qu Xiaoxiao had already organized several plans throughout the day to deal with Dr. Zhao's refusal, but when she heard it, she realized that she was not like the well-informed sons and daughters of the world, but she had a sore nose and cried.She couldn't say anything, she slammed on the brakes, and quickly climbed to the back seat, covering her face and crying.Dr. Zhao was startled again, but the car horn sounded immediately behind him, so he could only climb into the driving seat and drive the car out.

During off-duty hours, there are mountains and seas of vehicles as far as the eye can see. Dr. Zhao finally found a parking space on the side of the road and parked the car. "Xiao Qu, I'm getting out of the car."

"Wait a minute, I want to know what kind of interesting person you like. If you can't tell, just tell me the concept of interesting. Andy who played cards with you yesterday?"

"Andy is very smart, but not an interesting person. Brother Wei is, but unfortunately he is a man. Interesting can only be understood, and once explained, there is no concept at all. Of course, you can say that this is an excuse. It really looks like an excuse , The definition is too imprecise, so I sometimes misunderstand it and delay others, sorry." Dr. Zhao said, pulled out the car key and put it in the back seat.

"Stretch out your hand, let me take a bite and let you go."

Dr. Zhao stretched out his hand obediently, "I didn't wash my hands well after the operation, there may still be a little pus attached to it."

Qu Xiaoxiao had already grabbed Dr. Zhao's hand, but after hearing what he said, she couldn't say anything, she could only glare with tearful eyes.Dr. Zhao experienced such a strange breakup scene for the first time in his life. He withdrew his hand and stroked Qu Xiaoxiao's hair, "Don't cry, don't cry." But after thinking about it, he got out of the car resolutely.

Qu Xiaoxiao watched Dr. Zhao walk away, stop the car, and disappear. Finally, she was able to let go of her screams and beat and kicked her father's car alone.However, she likes Dr. Zhao who rejected her so straightforwardly, even the style of rejection.

Qiu Yingying jumped out of the subway car and walked towards home alive and well.The aisles of the subway are full of exhausted people after working all day, Qiu Yingying is as fresh as a juicy orange.As soon as she took a few steps, Qiu Yingying caught sight of Guan Juer, who was walking fast and straight in front of her.So I proposed a itinerary question belonging to the senior grades of elementary school: Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying are A meters apart, Guan Juer is walking northward along a straight line at speed B, and Qiu Yingying is walking northward along the same road at the same time at speed C. Excuse me, students, Qiu Yingying caught up with Guan Juer a few minutes later.

The answer is: Qiu Yingying chased after the subway exit, panting, accelerated forward, made a foul move, grabbed Guan Juer's coat belt, and turned the condition of the question into a fallacy.

"Guan, can't you walk slowly. Don't have to work overtime today?"

"I'm going on a business trip tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I won't be home until Saturday. Don't you need to buy groceries today?"

"Tragedy, a Chinese cabbage can be eaten for a whole week, and the Chinese cabbage stew every night, I am going crazy. I will never buy Chinese cabbage again."
