Chapter 136 The Dilemma of the Three Beauties in Ode to Joy
Back to three hours ago, at 8:45 pm, in Room 2202 of Ode to Joy Community, after Yuan Xudong took the initiative to end the WeChat communication, Qiu Yingying rushed out of the bedroom holding her mobile phone and took pictures of Fan Shengmei and Guan Ju'er.
The doorman said excitedly:
"Sister Fan, Guan Guan, come out quickly, Mr. Yuan has contacted me!"
Hearing that Yuan Xudong contacted Qiu Yingying, Fan Shengmei quickly opened the door, peeled off the mask and threw it into the trash can, saying in a concerned voice:
"Little earthworm, what did Mr. Yuan say?"
"Mr. Yuan wants to invite Guan Guan and I to have dinner at the nearby Hilton Hotel. He will pick us up at the community at seven o'clock tomorrow evening!"
Qiu Yingying ran over and hugged Fan Shengmei's arm, excited. When Guan Ju'er walked out of the bedroom with squinted eyes, Qiu Yingying quickly ran over and hugged her, jumping and saying:
"Guan Guan, Mr. Yuan wants to invite us to have dinner at the nearby Hilton Hotel. He will pick us up at the community at seven o'clock tomorrow evening. Remember to get off work early and don't be late!"
"Hmm~~"
Guan Ju'er nodded slightly, looked at Qiu Yingying and said happily with her eyes narrowed:
"Yingying, this is my first time to eat at the Hilton Hotel. I heard that it is very expensive, but I don't know if it is true!"
"of course it's true!"
Looking at Qiu Yingying and Guan Ju'er hugging each other, Fan Shengmei's eyes were full of envy and she said:
"In such a high-end place, just ordering a few good dishes and opening a bottle of good wine will cost the three of us sisters a month's salary. Do you think it's expensive?"
Hearing what Fan Shengmei said, Qiu Yingying turned the switch on and off, stood there and counted with her fingers:
"My monthly salary is 4,000 yuan, Guan Guan is 6,000 yuan, Sister Fan, you are 10,000 yuan, the three of us together are 20,000 yuan, and one meal costs me five months' salary, which is also
Is it too expensive?”
"Silly girl, this society has hierarchies, just like a pyramid. We are at the bottom and Mr. Yuan is at the top. You think it's unbelievable that one meal costs you five months' salary. But those rich people are on the contrary.
It’s even more incredible to think that you only spend more than a thousand yuan a month on food, it’s simply unimaginable!”
Touching Qiu Yingying's little head, Fan Shengmei forced a smile and said:
"But it doesn't matter. You and Guan Guan are still young. Now that you have met Mr. Yuan again, you will definitely not be like Sister Fan in the future. You are thirty years old and still can't get married. After struggling in Shanghai for so many years, you have nothing but a pile of rags.
nothing!"
Seeing that Fan Shengmei's eyes were red and she was getting sadder as she spoke, Qiu Yingying said with worry on her face:
"Sister Fan, what's wrong with you?"
It was the first time I saw Fan Shengmei showing her weak side, crying sadly like an ordinary woman. Guan Ju'er on the side looked surprised and said with the same worry:
"Sister Fan, are you encountering any difficulties?"
"No, Sister Fan just felt it. When I heard that Mr. Yuan wanted to treat you to dinner, Sister Fan was happy for you, but she was also a little sad in her heart. She thought about the time when she came to Shanghai to work alone, and she was lonely and avoided other people to eat steamed buns every day.
Living in a company dormitory, why is there no good man willing to let my sister rely on her?"
Seeing Qiu Yingying and Guan Ju'er looking at her with worried faces, Fan Shengmei wiped the corners of her eyes and said with a forced smile:
"You are different from Sister Fan. You are both the only children in your family. Your parents have given you all their love and subsidized your living expenses every month. Now you have met a billionaire like Mr. Yuan.
Money, good looks, and the most important thing is which one of you he is likely to pursue.
Sister Fan tells you that if Mr. Yuan really pursues you, you must firmly seize the opportunity. It may only be this once in a lifetime. If you seize it, you will fly up the branch and become a phoenix. If you fail to grasp it, you will be a grass chicken in front of the phoenix. For the rest of your life
They are all at the bottom of society, do you understand?"
Seeing Fan Shengmei looking so sad, Qiu Yingying and Guan Ju'er looked at each other, then nodded vigorously according to her wishes and said:
"I know, Sister Fan!"
Looking at the adorable Qiu Yingying and Guan Ju'er, Fan Shengmei burst into laughter, stretched out her hand to hook their necks, and sighed sincerely:
"Sister Fan really envies you two. You can say what you want and do what you want. You don't have to care about other people's opinions and can live according to your own wishes. Maybe this is why you are happier than me."
Hearing what Fan Shengmei said, Qiu Yingying glanced at her and said with a decadent face:
"Sister Fan, you're wrong. I don't just do whatever I want. I'm an adult now, and I still ask my father for living expenses. I want to go back to my hometown, Yancheng, to take the civil service exam, but he refuses to agree. What's the point of going back home?
There is no future, so I have to stay and work in Shanghai, but my monthly salary is only 4,000 yuan, and I can’t even support myself. When can I buy a house and a car in Shanghai?”
After Qiu Yingying finished speaking, before Fan Shengmei could speak, Guan Ju'er on the side agreed with her face:
"Me too. My parents had various connections to find people and sent me to my current company as an intern. Not to mention the one-year internship, there is a 50% elimination rate. They all graduated from prestigious schools.
I am the only one from an ordinary university, and I am so worried about being dismissed that I can only work hard. I often work overtime until ten o'clock in the evening, go home and fall asleep on the bed, and continue to work the next day. It is really difficult!"
Looking at the inexperienced Qiu Yingying and Guan Ju'er, Fan Shengmei said with a smile in her eyes:
"Little earthworm, do you want to buy a house in Shanghai?"
"Of course I have, Sister Fan, is there anything you can do?"
Qiu Yingying nodded vigorously and said with longing:
"If I can afford to buy a house, I will buy a house in our Ode to Joy community, just like the 2202 we live in now. It should have three bedrooms, one for each of us, so we don't have to look at the property or the landlord. Sister Fan
, Guan Guan, what do you think?"
"Well, I also think our community is good and quite suitable for living!"
Without waiting for Fan Shengmei to respond, Guan Ju'er on the side nodded slightly in agreement:
"The environment here is so good, it's close to the subway, and the size and layout of the houses are suitable. If I could have my own house here, it would be like a dream!"
"Yeah, it's just like a dream!"
Seeing Qiu Yingying and Guan Ju'er looking at her, Fan Shengmei hugged them both and smiled:
"Houses here in Shanghai are not expensive. The down payment for buying a small apartment is only about one million, and then you need a loan of two to three million from the bank. You two are so young and can take out a loan for thirty years. From now on, you will have to pay back the mortgage of one million every month."
With more than 10,000 yuan, about 15,000 yuan, you will be able to pay off the loan when you two are in your fifties. Doesn’t it sound like a dream?"
Hearing what Fan Shengmei said, Qiu Yingying thought for a while and said decadently:
"Forget it, I can only rent a house in this life, I have no chance of buying a house!"
“The key is that renting a house is not cheap either!”
Guan Ju'er on the side was also a little discouraged and said:
"Take the 2202 we rent now as an example. We pay the rent once every three months and pay the property management fee ourselves. Each of us shares 9,080 yuan equally. The three of us add up to more than 27,000 yuan.
, This is too expensive. My three-month salary is only 18,000 yuan, and the rent accounts for a little more than half. I am just like a serf in a landlord's family. When will this life end!"
Seeing Qiu Yingying and Guan Ju'er's faces full of frustration, Fan Shengmei put her arms around their necks, leaned into their ears and comforted them:
"It doesn't matter if you two can't afford a house, as long as Mr. Yuan can afford it. For a predator like him, buying a multi-million house is like us buying a pack of instant noodles. If he really likes a woman
, that woman will be as happy as a princess, you two are so cute, I like you very much!"
Hearing Fan Shengmei praise her cuteness, Qiu Yingying said excitedly before Guan Ju'er on the side could speak:
"Sister Fan, am I really cute? Mr. Yuan also praised me for being cute. Does he like me?"
Hearing what Qiu Yingying said, Fan Shengmei and Guan Ju'er both looked at her curiously. Qiu Yingying had always had a carefree temperament, and she would say whatever she thought in her mind. She said that Yuan Xudong praised her for being cute. This must be the case. Thinking of it,
Here, Guan Ju'er couldn't help but said curiously:
"Yingying, since when did Mr. Yuan praise you for being cute?"
"Just now, he praised me on WeChat!"
As Qiu Yingying spoke, she opened WeChat on her phone and found the chat history between her and Yuan Xudong. Then she handed the phone to Fan Shengmei and Guan Ju'er and said with a smile:
"Look, the last sentence is, Miss Qiu, you are so cute. Is he praising me?"
Without paying attention to what Qiu Yingying said, Fan Shengmei and Guan Ju'er pulled up the chat records between her and Yuan Xudong. From the shared address to the job position, from the age to the hobbies, all the revealing information was exposed by Qiu Yingying.
What's even more outrageous is that she also sent two photos of 2202 to Yuan Xudong. Fan Shengmei, who is wearing white pajamas, has a graceful figure. Qiu Yingying is eating donuts and drinking milk tea, who is lively and cute, and she is combing her hair just after taking a shower.
Guan Ju'er, who has long hair, is quiet and reserved.
Seeing that she was only wearing a white T-shirt and a pair of light pink shorts in the photo, with the skin on her legs and arms exposed, Guan Juer couldn't help but blush when she thought of Yuan Xudong seeing her just after taking a shower.
Blushing, she looked at the heartless Qiu Yingying and said angrily:
"Yingying, why did you send a photo of me just taking a shower to Mr. Yuan?"
After looking at Guan Ju'er who was blushing, Qiu Yingying said matter-of-factly:
"Mr. Yuan asked me for two photos. I thought your photo was the best, so I sent it to him. Your skin is so good, just like Lin Daiyu in Dream of Red Mansions, Mr. Yuan will definitely like it!"
"Little earthworm, it's okay if you send Guan Guan's photo, why are you sending mine?"
Giving Qiu Yingying a blank look, Fan Shengmei looked through the chat records between her and Yuan Xudong, and said in a teasing voice:
"Mr. Yuan really praised you for being cute!"
Without waiting for Qiu Yingying to show joy, she quickly added:
"It's just that you're cute and stupid. You just answer whatever people ask you?"
Before Qiu Yingying could say a few words to defend herself, a cell phone rang. It was Fan Shengmei's cell phone. She quickly took out her cell phone and took a look. The caller ID showed her mother. Fan Shengmei's expression changed slightly, and then she returned Qiu Yingying's cell phone to her and said briefly.
:
"I'm going to take a call. You and Guan Guan will wait for a while!"
"I understand, Sister Fan, go ahead and answer the phone. It's so late, your mother must be looking for you with something urgent!"
"Maybe!"
Fan Shengmei nodded slightly, then walked back to her room, closed the door and answered the phone. Before she could speak, a slightly mean voice sounded from the other side:
"Xiaomei, why haven't you paid back this month? Your brother and your sister-in-law are almost unable to open the pot. There is also Lei Lei, who is shouting for milk every day. It doesn't matter if we adults eat almost, but Lei Lei can't suffer.
ah!"
Hiding in the corner of the room, Fan Shengmei suppressed her voice and said painfully:
"Mom, I am also your child. Have you ever called me to care about me? Every time you call, you always ask for money. I only have 10,000 yuan per month, and I have to pay 9,000 yuan in rent this month.
I have the remaining one thousand yuan to last for a month, you can figure it out on your own!"
