Volume 3 Comprehensive Film and Television Chapter 146 Sending Guan Juer to Work
The next morning, in room 2202 of the Ode to Joy community, an alarm rang. Guan Juer, Fan Shengmei, and Qiu Yingying got up one after another. The three of them walked out of their bedrooms to wash up. Seeing Qiu Yingying's listless appearance, Fan Shengmei couldn't help but wonder:
"Little earthworm, you are usually so lively and energetic, why are you so listless today?"
Qiu Yingying yawned and looked at Fan Shengmei and explained:
"I didn't sleep well last night. I couldn't fall asleep at first. When I was about to fall asleep, Director Bai from our company's finance department sent me a text message. He asked me where I lived and asked me to pick him up on the way to work today. Sister Fan, does he like me?"
Hearing Qiu Yingying say this, Fan Shengmei spoke directly:
"Show me the text message and I'll help you with some reference. You're still young and ignorant. Don't waste your precious time on the wrong people!"
Nodding slightly, Qiu Yingying opened the text message on her phone and handed it to Fan Shengmei:
"Sister Fan, this is the text message he sent me at 1 a.m. last night!"
Taking the phone, Fan Shengmei glanced at the message and silently said:
"Xiao Qiu, I'll pick you up on the way tomorrow. Please text me your address!"
Returning the phone to Qiu Yingying, Fan Shengmei shook her head and laughed:
"He doesn't even know your address, and he said he would pick you up on the way. Doesn't he use his brain when he's so fussy?"
After that, Fan Shengmei held Qiu Yingying's shoulders and said seriously:
"Little earthworm, I'll teach you a few principles of life. If you are sincere, you should send the invitation text message in advance at an appropriate time to give the girl time to think and be reserved. Why would you choose the middle of the night? Secondly, if it was the unhandsome Manager Bai who sent such an invitation text message, would you think it was a kind of harassment?"
Seeing Qiu Yingying nod slightly, Fan Shengmei continued:
"Then please treat everyone equally. No matter how handsome Manager Bai is, sending such an invitation text message is harassment! Your company does not allow office romances. If it is discovered, either you resign or Manager Bai resigns. He worked hard to climb to the position of manager. Do you think he will resign?
I have worked in human resources for so many years. Please believe me, for girls from other places like us, work is our only support. We must not take risks on unsuitable men. A man like Manager Bai who sends invitation text messages to girls in the middle of the night, whether he does it intentionally or not, is not a suitable man!"
"Sister Fan, I think what you said makes sense. He's not that handsome, actually. He's nowhere near as handsome as Mr. Yuan. I don't even want to reply to him!"
At this point, Qiu Yingying rolled her eyes and smiled:
"Sister Fan, if the person who sent me a text message in the middle of the night was Mr. Yuan, would that also be considered harassment?"
After rolling her eyes at Qiu Yingying, Fan Shengmei said in an ambiguous tone while combing her hair:
"I don't know about that. You can go ask Guan Guan!"
"ah?"
Hearing Fan Shengmei mention her, Guan Juer came back to her senses and said with a slightly red face:
"What do you want to ask me?"
Seeing Guan Juer's blushing face, Qiu Yingying couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Guan Guan, why is your face so red?"
"Is there?"
Guan Juer covered her red and hot cheeks, looked at Fan Shengmei and Qiu Yingying and said embarrassedly:
"I sent a WeChat message to Xudong at about 1 a.m. last night, but he didn't reply. He might have fallen asleep. If he saw me sending him a WeChat message so late this morning, would he think I was harassing him?"
"Of course not!"
Sending Qiu Yingying to the bathroom to wash up, Fan Shengmei looked at Guan Juer, who was in love for the first time, and smiled:
"You are different from Little Earthworm. Manager Bai and Little Earthworm are just acquaintances, at most they are in a superior-subordinate relationship. You and Mr. Yuan are boyfriend and girlfriend, and it is natural for a girl to send WeChat messages to her boyfriend.
If Mr. Yuan saw you sending him a WeChat message so late at night, he would be so happy. It shows that he is charming. He has bewitched our Guan Guan so much that she has lost her girlish modesty!"
Seeing Fan Shengmei making fun of her, Guan Juer wrinkled her nose and pouted:
"Sister Fan, you are making fun of me, I won't talk to you anymore!"
After that, Guan Juer ran directly into the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth, and played with Qiu Yingying from time to time. Seeing how happy the two of them were, Fan Shengmei murmured to herself with envy while combing her hair in front of the mirror:
“It’s great to be young, the sky is high and the earth is wide!”
After washing up, Guan Juer, Qiu Yingying and Fan Shengmei walked out of 2202 together to prepare for work. After pressing the elevator, Qiu Yingying looked at Guan Juer and asked:
"Guan Guan, will Mr. Yuan come to pick you up for work?"
Shaking her head slightly, Guan Juer looked at Qiu Yingying and smiled while carrying her blue schoolbag:
"Probably not. He works at Jingyan Group and I work at Zhongxin Securities. Our two companies are not on the same route. Besides, I'm not used to riding in such a nice car to and from get off work. It feels a bit weird, just like the young ladies on TV!"
The elevator door opened, and Fan Shengmei walked in first. After Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying came in, she pressed the button for the first floor while looking at Guan Juer and teasingly said:
"Guan Guan, you'll get used to it after you sit here a few more times. You're Mr. Yuan's girlfriend, and you'll definitely accompany him to some high-end places, like the charity galas on TV. You can't be so shy!"
"ah?"
Hearing Fan Shengmei say this, Guan Juer shook her head and said:
"I won't go. I don't even dare to speak loudly. If I were to enter such an occasion, I would be so nervous that I wouldn't be able to say a word!"
“Alas~~”
Seeing Guan Juer being so shy, Fan Shengmei shook her head and sighed:
"Those who want to go can't go, and those who don't want to go have to go. It's really the same person with different fates!"
The elevator door opened, and seeing Fan Shengmei and others walk out of the elevator, Xiao Zheng, the property manager downstairs, stood up and said:
" Ms. Fan, someone is looking for you outside. It's Mr. Yuan from last night!"
Hearing that it was Yuan Xudong, Guan Juer quickly said:
"Why did you leave him waiting outside?"
After looking at Guan Juer, the property manager Xiao Zheng said in a businesslike manner:
"I'm sorry, Miss Guan, our property has a rule that outsiders are not allowed to enter without the accompaniment of a resident or an access card. Mr. Yuan doesn't want to contact you, so I can only let him wait outside!"
"Okay, Guan Guan, let's go see Mr. Yuan!"
Seeing that Guan Juer wanted to say something, Fan Shengmei pulled her out of the building, and Qiu Yingying followed beside her and said unconvincedly:
"This Xiao Zheng is so mean. If the person is a friend of the owner, she will let him in. If he is a friend of the tenant, she will handle it impartially without any mercy. She has two sets of standards for the same job. The most important thing is that I can't do anything about her. It really makes me so angry!"
"The owners will give small gifts to the property management company during festivals. We tenants come and go and are unwilling to give gifts. We are no different from outsiders. It's normal that they don't care about us!"
As Fan Shengmei spoke, she swiped the door open. Guan Juer ran out first and looked around. Seeing Yuan Xudong standing not far away and waving, she quickly ran over and asked:
"Xudong, why didn't you call me when you got here so that I could come down and pick you up?"
Yuan Xudong took Guan Juer's left hand and said with a smile:
"I've just been here for a short time. The property manager said that you should leave on time at 7 o'clock every day. I saw that the time was almost up, so I didn't notify you. Let's go, say hello to Miss Fan and the others, and I'll take you to work!"
“Hmm~~”
Guan Juer smiled and nodded, then pulled Yuan Xudong towards Fan Shengmei and Qiu Yingying who were coming towards them and said:
"Sister Fan, Yingying, Xudong is here to pick me up for work. We're leaving first. Bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
After saying goodbye to Fan Shengmei and Qiu Yingying, Yuan Xudong took Guan Juer to the car parked not far away and told Sun Jianhong to drive to Zhongxin Securities. Yuan Xudong pressed the electric control switch to completely isolate the rest area and the cockpit.
Seeing herself and Yuan Xudong alone in a room, and thinking of the intimacy of last night, Guan Juer couldn't help blushing and lowered her head, not daring to look at Yuan Xudong.
Holding the shy Guan Juer in his arms, Yuan Xudong leaned close to her ear and smiled:
"Guan Guan, you sent me a WeChat message so late last night. Are you reluctant to leave me?"
Seeing Guan Juer blushing, Yuan Xudong kissed her cheeks twice, then opened the insulated box on the table, which contained a variety of breakfasts. He let Guan Juer go and said:
"Eat it quickly, it won't taste good !"
“Hmm~~”
Guan Juer sat at the table and ate breakfast . Seeing Yuan Xudong sitting opposite her and looking at her, she couldn't help blushing and whispering:
"You're not eating breakfast, why are you looking at me?"
"The ancients said that beauty is a feast to the eyes. Let me see if it's true!"
Yuan Xudong touched his belly and joked:
"Why do I feel even hungrier?"
Too much is as bad as too little. Yuan Xudong made a joke and then picked up his bowl and chopsticks to eat breakfast. He chatted with Guan Juer about life and work. Most of the time, Guan Juer did the talking and he was responsible for listening. From the trivialities in life to the miscellaneous things in work, Yuan Xudong accepted everything and perfectly played the role of a gentle and considerate confidant. He also comforted and guided Guan Juer from time to time, which made Guan Juer admire and love him even more.
When they arrived at Zhongxin Securities, Guan Juer opened the door and got out of the car, waved to Yuan Xudong and walked towards the company. Seeing her carrying a schoolbag, wearing a black and white plaid dress, with a smile on her face and long hair draped over her shoulders, Yuan Xudong always had a sense of accomplishment in raising a girlfriend. The little lotus has just begun to show its pointed tip, and a dragonfly has already landed on it.
