Volume 3 Comprehensive Film and Television Chapter 145 The Night Life of the Three Women
At 10:21 pm, in Room 2202 of Ode to Joy Community, Andy, Qu Xiaoxiao, Fan Shengmei, Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer, who lived on the 22nd floor, gathered together.
Guan Juer was leaning on the sofa holding a Snoopy pillow, Qiu Yingying and Fan Shengmei were sitting next to her, Andy was leaning on the dining table in the living room, and Qu Xiaoxiao sat directly on the table, with her right leg resting on the chair, her hands behind her, and she tilted her head to look at the blushing Guan Juer and said playfully:
"Guan Guan, do you have a boyfriend?"
“Hmm~~”
Guan Juer glanced at Qu Xiaoxiao, nodded slightly, and hummed softly, hugging the Snoopy pillow even tighter in her hands. Seeing her blushing and shy look, Qiu Yingying patted her shoulder, then looked at Qu Xiaoxiao who was sitting awkwardly and glared at her:
"Qu Xiaoxiao, how do you know Guan Guan has a boyfriend?"
"Nonsense, who am I, Qu Xiaoxiao?"
After rolling her eyes at the silly Qiu Yingying, Qu Xiaoxiao looked at Guan Juer, who was shy but with a hint of sweetness, and said jokingly:
"Let's not talk about Guan Guan's silly look of having her IQ lowered because of falling in love. Look at her neck, the white and tender skin, plus the blooming blushes. It's obvious, okay?"
Hearing Qu Xiaoxiao say this, Guan Juer hurriedly covered her collar. Fan Shengmei on the side glared at Qu Xiaoxiao who spoke bluntly and secretly warned her not to talk nonsense. Unfortunately, Qu Xiaoxiao didn't care at all and still looked at Guan Juer with a playful face.
Qiu Yingying, who was sitting on Guan Juer's left, saw how nervous she was and became more curious about what Qu Xiaoxiao said. She lay on Guan Juer and wanted to open her collar to see what was going on. Guan Juer didn't let her see, and the two little girls started playing together.
The quiet and weak Guan Juer was obviously no match for the lively and active Qiu Yingying, and was quickly defeated. Qiu Yingying successfully pulled off Guan Juer's collar and took a look. Seeing the blush on her snow-white skin, she slightly widened her eyes and asked curiously:
"Guan Guan, why are you so red?"
"Yingying, please let me go. I'm really angry!"
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Guan Juer, who was pinned down by Qiu Yingying and unable to move, said with embarrassment. Seeing that Guan Juer seemed really angry, Qiu Yingying quickly let her go and said:
"Guan Guan, don't be angry, it's all Qu Xiaoxiao's fault for talking nonsense!"
"Why am I talking nonsense?"
Qu Xiaoxiao, who was originally watching the fun, was caught in the crossfire. She couldn't help but roll her eyes and looked at Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying teasingly:
"Little earthworm, ask Guan Guan what Mr. Yuan did to her on the way back?"
Without waiting for Qiu Yingying to speak, Fan Shengmei glared at Qu Xiaoxiao who was watching the fun and changed the subject:
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Mr. Yuan wants to buy a house in our Ode to Joy community. Do you have any good recommendations?"
After Fan Shengmei finished speaking, Andy on the side spoke directly:
"What is his budget and what are his specific requirements?"
"The budget is within 20 million, no specific requirements!"
"He bought a house in our neighborhood for 20 million yuan, and he didn't have any specific requirements. Did he pick up all the money?"
Hearing Yuan Xudong buying a house so capriciously, Qu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but roll her eyes and said:
"Since he's stupid and rich, I'll just sell him my 2203. It's fully furnished and ready for move-in. He'll also be close to the water and get the moon first. I'll ask him for 10 million. What do you think?"
"no!"
Hearing that Qu Xiaoxiao wanted to sell her house to Yuan Xudong for 10 million, Guan Juer quickly refused without waiting for anyone else to speak:
"Your house is a second-hand one, a two-bedroom apartment, and the decoration is not good. How can it be worth 10 million?"
"Guan Guan, are you okay?"
It was the first time that Guan Juer loudly refuted someone. Everyone couldn't help but look at her. Qiu Yingying beside her was stunned and said:
"This is the first time I've seen you like this. Is there such a big difference between having a boyfriend and not having one?"
"Where is that?"
Guan Juer adjusted her glasses and said shyly while hugging the Snoopy pillow:
"I just think it's too much for Xiao Qu to sell her house to Mr. Yuan for 10 million. Her house is not even worth 4 million. If you don't believe me, ask Xiao Qu how much she spent on the house?"
"Wow, Xiaoguan is going crazy!"
Qu Xiaoxiao looked at Guan Juer, whose face was flushed, and teased:
"Guan Guan, I know my house is not worth 10 million, but the location is good. It's so close to your 2202. Maybe Mr. Yuan would be willing to buy it? Besides, it's not your money. Why are you so excited?"
Seeing Qu Xiaoxiao looking at her, Guan Juer glared at her and said:
"That won't work either. I won't agree to that!"
After comforting Guan Juer, Fan Shengmei looked at Qu Xiaoxiao and said:
"Qu Xiaoxiao, stop joking and be serious!"
"Why am I not serious?"
After rolling her eyes at Fan Shengmei, Qu Xiaoxiao put down her raised right leg, supported herself on the edge of the table with one hand, leaned forward and looked at her seductively:
"As long as the price is right and there is profit to be made, my 2203 will belong to Mr. Yuan. Since he asked you to help him find a house and he didn't have any specific requirements, how about you give me a good price and I will give you a red envelope in return?"
"Okay, Xiao Qu, if you keep joking around, I can't stand it anymore!"
Worried that Qu Xiaoxiao and Fan Shengmei might have a conflict, Andy on the side changed the subject:
"Last time, Guan Guan fell asleep while washing clothes, and the water leaked to 2102 downstairs. The property management brought the owner to 2202 to find the leak. I heard them mention that they have two houses, 2101 and 2102, and they plan to sell one of them. Why don't we ask them?"
As soon as the words fell, Guan Juer shook her head and refused:
"No, that man is so fierce, it must be difficult to get along with him. It's not good to be neighbors with him!"
After rolling her eyes at Guan Juer, Qu Xiaoxiao teased:
"Guan Guan, you don't want this, and you don't want that. Who wants to buy a house, or Mr. Yuan?"
After that, she covered her mouth, slightly widened her eyes, looked at Guan Juer and said in an exaggerated tone:
"Oh my god, Guan Guan, you're not planning to live together with Mr. Yuan, are you? You two have only met twice, this is too fast, are you so open-minded?"
"Qu Xiaoxiao, what nonsense are you talking about?"
After glaring at Qu Xiaoxiao, Guan Juer pouted and said angrily:
"Xudong is my boyfriend. Although we have only met twice, I like him and he likes me too. My parents are afraid that he will cheat on me. They are coming to Shanghai to take a look, so he wants to buy me a house to make my parents feel at ease!"
Having said this, seeing that everyone was looking at her, Guan Juer paused for a moment and blushed as she defended herself:
"I still live in 2202 and I won't live with him!"
"Oh my god, Guan Guan, this is more exciting than living together, okay?"
Looking at Guan Juer who was confused about the situation, Qu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and said:
"When getting married, a man who is willing to write his wife's name on the property deed is already generous enough. You two are only meeting for the second time today. One of you dares to give a house worth hundreds of millions, and the other dares to accept it. Are you really going to follow him?"
Guan Juer nodded slightly, and said sweetly:
"I was a little hesitant at first, but after seeing him playing the violin tonight, I was sure that he was the boyfriend I wanted. Don't you think he's very attractive when he plays the violin?"
“It’s kind of handsome!”
Thinking of the video of Yuan Xudong playing the violin, Qu Xiaoxiao nodded slightly to agree with Guan Juer's statement, then looked at her and changed the subject:
"However, you can be sure that you like him, but how can you be sure that he really likes you?"
"Of course I can be sure!"
Without waiting for Guan Juer to respond, Fan Shengmei came to her senses and said that when she heard Guan Juer say that Yuan Xudong was going to buy her a house, she was extremely envious and was stunned for a long time until now.
The dream that she had never realized in her life was realized by Guan Juer just a few months after she came to Shanghai for internship. If she and Guan Juer exchanged identities, she would not consider these things, but would only hold on to Yuan Xudong tightly and avoid the wind and rain under his protection. Thinking of this, she looked at Guan Juer and said in support:
"If Mr. Yuan didn't like you, would he buy you a house? He gave you a 20 million budget like that. If this doesn't count as love, then what would it take to count as love?"
“Hmm~~”
Guan Juer nodded slightly and said with a firm face:
"I believe Xudong likes me. The piece he played is a hymn to love. This piece is not difficult. The difficult part is to integrate one's own feelings into it. From his piano playing, I can feel the joy and sincerity of love. I believe he is a good man with sincere feelings!"
"I'll go, is this okay?"
Hearing Guan Juer say that Yuan Xudong is a good man with sincere feelings, Qu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but roll her eyes and complain:
"Isn't it just playing the violin? Why don't I hear any joy and sincerity of love? I think you are in the late stage of love sickness and are hallucinating?"
"What do you know?"
Seeing Qu Xiaoxiao mocking Yuan Xudong and Guan Juer, Qiu Yingying stood up for them and said:
"You can't hear it because you are uneducated. Guan Guan and Mr. Yuan are different from you. They are both very educated people!"
Seeing Qiu Yingying say that she was uneducated, Qu Xiaoxiao said indifferently:
"I have been uneducated for a long time. Are those things edible or drinkable? Besides, I am an illiterate boss, and those educated people still work for me. Isn't their culture my culture?"
"you……"
"You what?"
Seeing Qiu Yingying wanted to say something, Qu Xiaoxiao glared at her, then jumped down from the table, looked at Fan Shengmei and said with a smile:
"Sister Fan, I won't say more . You three should take it easy. By the way, didn't Mr. Yuan give you a bottle of wine? Take it. I'll take it back to honor my father and give you 200,000 yuan later. How about that?"
Before Fan Shengmei could refuse, Qu Xiaoxiao continued:
"Don't tell me you want to drink it yourself. You're going to sell it anyway, so why not just sell it to me and save it for others!"
"Okay, wait a moment!"
After hesitating for a while, Fan Shengmei nodded and agreed. She stood up and walked back to her room, picked up the whiskey Yuan Xudong gave her from the dressing table, walked back to the living room and handed it to Qu Xiaoxiao, saying:
"Take it, and remember to transfer the money to me!"
"Don't worry, it's getting late. I'm going back to bed. Bye!"
Qu Xiaoxiao took the whiskey and looked at it for a while, then looked at Andy and said:
"Andy, let's go together. I don't quite understand a document. Can you help me take a look at it?"
"Okay, let's go!"
After saying goodbye to Fan Shengmei and the others, Andy and Qu Xiaoxiao left Room 2202 together. When the door closed, Andy glanced at Qu Xiaoxiao and the bottle of whiskey she was holding in her arms and said with a smile:
"Xiao Qu, do you have any opinion on Guan Guan's boyfriend, Mr. Yuan?"
"I don't have any objections. Mr. Yuan is a pretty good guy. He's generous, rich, handsome, and has a good temperament. He can also play the violin so well. He is simply the prince charming that little girls dream of!"
Qu Xiaoxiao glanced at Andy and said playfully:
"Guan Guan is such a good girl, but he easily won her over after just two meetings. Mr. Yuan is really amazing!"
Andy frowned and thought for a while and said:
"Why do these words sound a bit harsh to me?"
"Forget it, forget about them. Mr. Yuan is so generous. He even got a house before he succeeded. No matter what happens in the future, at least Guan Guan won't suffer any loss. I still have to discuss business with clients from the United States tomorrow. I don't understand some professional information. Can you help me look it up?"
"Okay, but I can only give you some pointers. You can look up the information and figure out the rest yourself!"
"No problem, just give me some pointers, there are just a few things I don't understand!"
Qu Xiaoxiao wanted to pull Andy to her room 2203, but Andy quickly dodged. Qu Xiaoxiao didn't care. While walking towards her room, she took out her cell phone and transferred 200,000 yuan to Fan Shengmei. Seeing her transfer money to Fan Shengmei, Andy smiled and said:
"Xiao Qu, if I remember correctly, the auction price of this bottle of wine is around 250,000 yuan. Isn't this a bad idea?"
"Andy, how do you know everything?"
Putting away the phone, opening the door and welcoming Andy into the house, Qu Xiaoxiao put the whiskey in her hand on the coffee table in the living room, placing it next to her own bottle and said with a smile:
"Two bottles of wine for 500,000, and I broke one bottle, plus I drank a bottle of Karuizawa bourbon barrel. This Mr. Yuan is much more generous than my brother!"
…
In Room 2202, after receiving the 200,000 yuan transferred by Qu Xiaoxiao, Fan Shengmei smiled, but Qiu Yingying beside her said in a depressed voice:
"Sister Fan, Mr. Yuan gave you a bottle of wine worth 200,000 yuan and gave Guan Guan a house worth several million yuan. I should be happy for you, but why do I feel a little sad?"
"Silly girl, it's normal to feel a little uncomfortable. You are much better than the average person by saying it out loud!"
Patting Qiu Yingying's little head, Fan Shengmei comforted her:
"We are all ordinary people. Guan Guan got the house she always dreamed of, and I got 200,000 yuan. But you have nothing. If you don't feel bad at all, are you still an ordinary person?"
Adjusting her glasses, Guan Juer comforted Qiu Yingying:
"Yingying, don't be sad. When Xudong comes over next time, I'll ask him to treat you to a big meal, okay?"
Seeing that Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer were comforting her, Qiu Yingying nodded slightly and smiled again:
"Okay, it's settled. I'm going to the Hilton Hotel for dinner!"
Seeing Qiu Yingying return to her usual self, Guan Juer said happily:
"No problem, order your favorite steak and some dessert to fill you up!"
Glancing at Guan Juer's collar, the obvious red marks gradually disappeared. Fan Shengmei spat softly, thinking that Yuan Xudong was as impatient as an ordinary man. Thinking of this, she looked at Guan Juer and reminded him:
"Guan Guan, before Mr. Yuan buys you a house, don't give in to him. For a man, what he can't get is the best. Do you understand?"
"Sister Fan, what are you talking about?"
Understanding what Fan Shengmei meant, Guan Juer blushed and said:
"I'm going to bed. I have to go to work tomorrow. Good night!"
"Good night!"
After Guan Juer went into the bedroom and closed the door to rest, Qiu Yingying looked at Fan Shengmei and said with a smile:
"Sister Fan, Guan Guan's body is so red, did you have sex with Mr. Yuan?"
"Which one?"
"Oh, that's it!"
Qiu Yingying winked at Fan Shengmei, raised her two thumbs and nodded to each other.
After rolling her eyes at Qiu Yingying, Fan Shengmei went back to her bedroom, closed the door and rested.
"You'll know when you find a boyfriend. It's getting late. Go to bed quickly. Good night!"
"Good night!"
Turning off the energy-saving lamp in the living room, Qiu Yingying went back to her bedroom, turned off the lights and rested. The moonlight outside the window poured into the room. Looking at the red roses and Bai Baihe on the desk, her mind could not help but reflect Yuan Xudong's face, as well as the gentle look in his eyes when he wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin after she finished eating the donuts. She patted her face hard and murmured to herself:
"Qiu Yingying, Mr. Yuan is Guan Guan's boyfriend. He just treats you like a sister. Don't let your imagination run wild!"
After saying that, Qiu Yingying went straight into bed and went to sleep, but compared to the past, she tossed and turned and had trouble falling asleep.
At the same time, in Fan Shengmei's room, standing in front of the floor-length mirror, Fan Shengmei took off her bright red dress, looked at her graceful white figure in the mirror, and thought of Yuan Xudong seeing her proud capital in a quick glance. She couldn't help blushing, and walked into the bed half-naked, her face full of joy as she looked at the extra 200,000 yuan in her account.
She took out a ledger from the bedside table, which recorded every loan she made, her expenses and income, as well as the borrower's contact information and repayment account number. She repaid the overdue loans and interest one by one in chronological order, and attached a message of thanks and apology. After paying off all the money, she transferred another 3,000 yuan to her family.
Looking at the remaining 150,000 yuan in the account, she calculated in the account book, set aside 130,000 yuan to repay her family's mortgage, and had 20,000 yuan left. This was her first savings. She, Fan Shengmei, finally had her own savings.
Rolling around in bed holding her cell phone, Fan Shengmei felt that her good days had finally arrived. Without the burden of a mortgage, as long as she sent her family 3,000 yuan a month for living expenses, the remaining salary would be enough for her to live a good life.
In Guan Juer's bedroom, with a sweet face, Guan Juer lay in the bed with a Snoopy pillow on her chest. She found the video of Yuan Xudong playing the violin from the WeChat group and saved it to her mobile phone. While watching Yuan Xudong playing freely in the video, she quickly took a screenshot and then found the most satisfying photo to set as the phone interface.
After taking a look at Yuan Xudong's WeChat, there was not a single new message. Guan Juer pouted unhappily. After hesitating for a while, she sent a WeChat message to Yuan Xudong:
"Xudong, are you asleep?"
