Ode to joy

Chapter 62

In the early morning of 2202, the air pressure was a little low.Fan Shengmei went in and out with a sullen face, and always responded to other people's greetings with a simple eh.Qiu Yingying finally felt it, and quickly apologized to Fan Shengmei while Fan Shengmei was drinking water. "Sister Fan, Guan Zhen and I were so tired of waiting last night that we came up with the idea of ​​holding a chair against the door. Really, we want to wait for the door."

At this point, Fan Shengmei could only speak: "It's not about this, you have already told me in the text message, I am entering the door."

"Oh, Sister Fan, what's not happy, don't always be bored, tell us, maybe we can help."

Fan Shengmei suddenly thought of something, "I forgot to ask, have you mentioned to Andy about my displeasure last night?"

"No, why did you mention this to her?" But Qiu Yingying immediately helped Fan Shengmei and raised her voice, "Guan, have you mentioned to Andy what happened to Sister Fan the night before?"

Guan Juer immediately replied in the bedroom: "No, why bring it up." But after she finished speaking, she gently went to close the bedroom door that had just been opened, and covered her beating heart.It sounds like Fan Shengmei didn't want others to know about the crying the night before, and she didn't have the courage to admit that she had asked Andy for help without authorization.

But Fan Shengmei got stuck in her heart, wondering, how did Andy know last night.At the scene, she was so excited that she didn't pay attention to it. Looking back, she found that Andy seemed to know a lot, that something happened to her family, and even knew that she needed money, so she suspected that she was making that kind of money at night.And the switch between what Andy knew and what he didn't seem to happen within a few minutes of entering the Monarch Club.Exactly who in the noble meeting knew her and Andy at the same time last night?And that person, would he have the same suspicion as Andy, doubting that she made that kind of money at night?Fan Shengmei still suspects that it is very possible that that person is from her hometown. I don't know if that person will bring the suspicion back to her hometown and spread it.

Thinking that there would be three feet of waves without wind in the small place of my hometown, and that a scandal could spread throughout the small town in one day, Fan Shengmei shuddered like an ant on a hot pot.She wanted to ask Andy for confirmation, but thinking about it again, if there was someone who delivered the news to Andy at the Monarch last night, it would be useless to ask Andy again today, who can replace her with such an unknown person? People without surnames are hiding good things.

Fan Shengmei couldn't stay in 2202, she was in a hurry to go to work, and hurriedly joined the ranks of strangers, she could smile when she wanted to, and cry when she wanted to. This is the benefit of being in Haishi.Unfortunately, at the door, I met Qu Xiaoxiao who was carrying a suitcase.It was too late to retreat, so I had to bite the bullet.But she didn't get angry with Qu Xiaoxiao, she just stared at the elevator with a cold face, hoping that Andy didn't tell Qu Xiaoxiao what happened last night.No one can tell Qu Xiaoxiao.

But Qu Xiaoxiao just cast a sideways glance at Fan Shengmei and didn't bother to speak.She was lethargic after a broken relationship, and now she is not interested in anything except money.

Qiu Yingying, who was standing in the kitchen and could see the noise outside the door, didn't dare to say anything at this moment. She didn't ask Guan Juer until they got into the elevator, "Is it when Andy asked Sister Fan for the key last night?" , What did you say about Sister Fan?"

Guan Juer quickly said: "I don't know. But I don't think Andy is a person who makes irresponsible remarks."

"You protect Andy."

"Qiu, your words hurt people. But I believe you won't hurt me on purpose."

Qiu Yingying was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "I don't mean that, I just think that you and Andy are very good, of course you help her talk... No, you are also good to Sister Fan, and you also help Sister Fan to talk, yeah , Why do I get more and more confused when I talk about it?"

Of course Guan Juer would not argue with Qiu Yingying.She wanted to say nothing on the way to work. She didn't know what happened last night, and she subconsciously didn't want to get close to the typhoon's eye.But Andy asked her, "How is Xiao Fan feeling this morning?"

Guan Ju'er could only answer the truth painfully: "She is in a bad mood today, and she asked me what I told you, and I denied it, I'm afraid."

"We had some conflicts last night, but it has nothing to do with you." Andy couldn't help asking, "Xiao Fan...was it the kind of mood that turned from embarrassment to anger this morning?"

"No."

When Andy heard this, he couldn't help sighing. It seemed that even if she made a move, even if she lost her friendship, it still wouldn't help.Worst outcome.

Andy himself faces the worst.She came back from the big office in the afternoon and wanted to go into her office to take a shower and rest for a while, but she suddenly saw Tan Zongming sitting in it with Wei Guoqiang.She didn't know what it meant to get her out so quickly.

"Old Tan, go ahead. I'll call you later."

When Tan Zongming heard it, his fat body immediately flew into the air, and jumped out with a "swoosh".Even though he and Wei Guoqiang do not want to offend each other, being caught between them today is by no means a good thing.

Andy closes the door.After thinking about making a bottom line last night, she could sit calmly on the chair behind the desk, hold a glass of water in her hand, and look at Wei Guoqiang slightly dangling.And Wei Guoqiang looked at her calmly, and Andy couldn't see the eyes behind the glasses.Andy didn't speak, waiting for Wei Guoqiang to speak.

Wei Guoqiang stared at Andy for a long time, and finally asked: "Who are you?"

Andy let out a laugh, but didn't answer.

Wei Guoqiang remained silent, still staring at Andy.Andy lost his patience, picked up the documents on the table and began to read.Wei Guoqiang was obviously quite irritated, and asked again: "Where's your mother?"

"That's right, it's something that is tacitly understood, what to pretend when it comes up. It's dead."

"When?"

"Early 1983."

"How do you live?"

"I said that I don't want to have anything to do with you. I keep my word. You don't have to care about me, just refuse."

"Many things in the past are hard to describe in words. For example, your grandfather has been living with me for 30 years."

Andy finally raised his eyes from the document, and stared at Wei Guoqiang in surprise.A life of sinners is ugly one after another, and each mountain is higher than the other.

Andy turned around and poured himself another glass of water, and drank it.Pour another glass before turning around and facing Wei Guoqiang calmly. "Your unspeakable life, I said, I don't want to have anything to do with you, don't listen, don't judge, don't draw conclusions. You can go, if it happens again, I will show you on the spot."

Wei Guoqiang was startled by the last sentence, and stood up reflexively, but then he regained his composure and stood up and said, "I don't expect you to understand forgiveness, but I hope you can let me do something for you. And don't worry, I will not interfere in your life."

Andy turned back again, poured himself some water, and gulped for breath.She was nearly collapsed by Wei Guoqiang's frightening gesture of getting up.Wei Guoqiang has seen her mother in normal times, and Wei Guoqiang is so reflexive, it must be because he has seen her mother's seizures.Wei Guoqiang still has lingering fears, which shows the power of the attack back then.Andy was flustered and afraid of the dark, and if Wei Guoqiang said anything, Andy didn't answer, turned his back and waved him out.

But Wei Guoqiang refused to leave, "I'll bring you two books about your age, about our era, one is "Debt" and the other is "Life"..."

Andy turned around without hesitation and smashed the cup in his hand, "Tell you not to mess with me, didn't you see that I was desperately restraining myself. Fuck, ****, ****."

Wei Guoqiang was really stunned this time, his chest hurt so much from being hit by the cup, he couldn't care less about it, and he couldn't care less about the water stains on his chest.When he came back to life, he had no choice but to look at Andy's back again and walk away.But he still left those two yellowed books.

Andy waited for Wei Guoqiang to leave, then rushed into the bathroom, closed the door, blocked all the phone calls and human voices, and sat on the toilet alone in a daze.How terrible must it be when the attack occurs, so that Wei Guoqiang will still have lingering fears 30 years later?Don't be afraid of others, Andy should be afraid of himself first.She especially thought that if one day, she had an attack. Thirty years later, Singularity will be terrified when he thinks about it.

So she didn't look for anyone, and she didn't dare to look for anyone. There was only one person sitting on the toilet in a daze.

After being in a daze for more than half an hour, my breath calmed down, and I returned to my desk to call Tan Zongming.

"It's over, you don't have to forcefully agree to him in the future, you can just refuse him directly. He knows it."

"It won't end. This round of yours can only be regarded as a public statement of attitude. I advise you not to act emotionally. You'd better read Yan Luming's investigation of him. He didn't have a biological child. This is a great regret in his life. He I won't let you go. I suggest you face up to this relationship, you need to talk."

"Facing him means recognizing him? I just want to kill him and his father-in-law."

"His father-in-law? It wasn't stated in Lao Yan's investigation, what's going on?"

"To be precise, the former father-in-law, my mother's father, has been following him."

Old Tan was also dumbfounded, "You...you can calm down, he has returned to BJ, and he won't be looking for you for a while. Would you like to make a copy of Lao Yan's investigation report for you?"

"Don't. Ignore him."

Old Tan was helpless, and things were even beyond his expectation.

Andy stuffed the two books left by Wei Guoqiang into a kraft paper bag and threw them on the top of the filing cabinet.However, there is no end, as Lao Tan said.Wei Guoqiang said it nicely, and he would come to give charcoal in the snow.To put it bluntly, it's called picking peaches.

She emailed Singularity about the matter, but noted at the end of the email: Refuse to discuss, ignore them, stop here.

When Fan Shengmei was at work, she received a text message from a strange mobile phone, "Amei, I am your mother. Hasn't the money been credited to my account yet?" What did she know, who did she know, and so on, but she forgot to send money to her mother.She guessed that the phone belonged to the sufferer.

But she thought of Andy avoiding her hands last night like an electric shock, as if her hands were dirty and nasty.While Andy avoided her, he handed over a wad of money.Fan Shengmei will never forget such a humiliating feeling.Her heart sank, and she replied impulsively, "I didn't get any money last night. I'm sorry. Try again tonight."

"You are at work, borrow it from your colleague."

"My colleagues have borrowed all of them, and some of them haven't been paid back. I'm at work, so I can't tell you. I was caught by the leader and deducted wages."

The leader didn't come to arrest Fan Shengmei, but asked her to come over with a phone call to accept the leader's leader's question about the report on the recruiting problem that he made last time.This kind of trivial matter can't trouble Fan Shengmei, she has a bright smile, no matter how angry the leader is, she won't take it on her head.

When Fan Shengmei returned to her seat, she saw several missed calls and text messages on her mobile phone.It's all from that number.She read the text messages one by one, read one, deleted one, and sighed softly.Judging from the last text message, the victim took her mother into custody and rushed to her parents' house again.Apart from remitting the money obediently, what else could she do, she could only lose her temper a little bit, and she could only cheat and hide it.

After fighting like this for a few days, she sent 1000 yuan a day to go home, in exchange for her mother no longer crying, and her father not having to hold the wine bottle and sigh.

Until Saturday, when she was swinging with Zhang Mingsong on the golf course, she received a text message from her sister-in-law saying that her brother had come out.Fan Shengmei sighed at the text message that cherished words like gold, finally, she could be liberated.At this moment, she was extremely relaxed, and the smile on her face was even more charming.Although the money in her card was gone again, and although she couldn't participate in the last discount season of this year, she was finally liberated. This time, she finally didn't ask anyone to borrow money.

Fortunately, on the weekend of this discount season, she played with Zhang Mingsong, so she didn't need to sit at home and think about the crowds in the shopping mall.

She smiled easily, and others naturally noticed it.Zhang Mingsong took the trouble to teach Fan Shengmei how to play golf, and from time to time, he gave her a kiss behind her.Fan Shengmei likes it very much. She enjoys Zhang Mingsong's unhurried and considerate, and also enjoys Zhang Mingsong's embrace with a faint smell of smoke.She is very tired these days, and she needs solid support and easy enjoyment.

Qiu Yingying didn't realize until Friday that she had already paid Qu Xiaoxiao two big bear hugs in advance, but Qu Xiaoxiao hadn't introduced the business of her classmates and friends to her so far.She hurriedly called Qu Xiaoxiao, and only when she got through did she realize that Qu Xiaoxiao was on a business trip these days.

But Qu Xiaoxiao said on the phone: "Business? You think it's simple. I'll get you a friend's order. Is this your business? How can there be such a simple business in the world. Business is that you take samples, and each family Go to the door to sell in person, humiliate others to make people smile, and stalk people to buy you a pack of coffee. Sitting in a coffee shop like you and waiting for the order to come down, you only deserve to get a salary of 3000 yuan or [-] yuan. ,understand?"

"But you said it yourself that day, and you tricked me into giving me two hugs."

"I just lied to you. My aunt was unhappy when she lost her love that day. Will you lose weight if you hug me? Are you friends? I won't let you hug for nothing. The secret is taught to you. How to do it is up to you."

"Bah, are you as brazen as you are? Who doesn't know the secret? You have no sincerity at all. You..."

"Bah, what's wrong with me? Tell you, some people have high eyes but low power. They only see that we are rich and enjoy it in front of others, but they don't see us working hard. They only want our money and don't want to do our hard work. My parents are I made my fortune in a small business of needles and thread brains that cost every penny. I am a thousand-dollar lady who chases customers every day to please her and ask for business. Do you think that money falls from the sky? I spend money to treat people to a meal and I still have to grind You're so talkative, I'm begging for credit. Don't talk nonsense. If you have the energy, go door-to-door to those cafes with samples on your back. If you can sell a bag on the first day, you're a victory. Bah, why don't you grow up so big? You have no economic sense. Do you stay at home every weekend to incubate eggs? Time is money, and weekend time can’t be wasted. You don’t have to wear thicker clothes to do sales.”

No matter how clever Qiu Yingying's mouth is, she is invincible compared to Qu Xiaoxiao. She finally squeezed in to say a few words, and Qu Xiaoxiao gave her a bunch of words. When she wanted to say something more, Qu Xiaoxiao screamed on the phone There was a sound, saying that the customer had come, and the sound of hanging up came from the other end soon.Although Qiu Yingying was ridiculed by Qu Xiaoxiao, she suddenly thought, ah, really, it's good to be idle at home every weekend, and it's not bad to go out to do sales.She hurriedly took advantage of the fact that she was still at work on Friday, and found an excuse to ask the business manager for a sample, and then called up the name of the shop that had bought coffee from her from the online shop. Familiar with the start to run, try the water.

The soldiers and horses did not move, but the food and grass went first.Qiu Yingying's food is a homemade sandwich that makes her stomach feel cold in winter.

She really wanted to tell someone about her plan and discuss whether it was feasible or not.But on Friday on the 22nd floor, there was no one but her.Sister Fan went on a date with someone, Andy took the night flight to Hong Kong, Guan Juer and Qu Xiaoxiao were both on business trips.Qiu Yingying thought to herself, she is the one who has the most leisure time, and she is the only one who is wasting time and time, wasting every inch of time and every inch of gold.Unexpectedly, ivory miraculously grew out of Qu Xiaoxiao's dog's mouth, and some of his words made sense.

On Saturday, Qiu Yingying was full of energy, carrying a backpack with samples on her back, and set off facing the rising sun.At that time, Fan Shengmei hadn't woken up yet.

But Qiu Yingying quickly discovered the problem.In the early morning, few cafes are open for business.Except for a few such as Starbucks, almost all the stores with snowflakes, snowmen and Christmas gifts on the door are closed, and Starbucks obviously does not want to buy her coffee.This is the first business lesson Qiu Yingying learned from running a business.

When those coffee shops opened, Qiu Yingying began to attend lectures intensively.She sent out many business cards, but not a single pack of coffee was sold.Either they have their own channels, or they want exactly what she didn't carry, or they don't like the coffee in her bag.However, she really learned a lot.

In the dead of night, when she came home, she sent a text message to Qu Xiaoxiao in the subway, "On the first day of sales, not a single bag was sold."

"Smelly!" Qu Xiaoxiao replied concisely.
