In the evening, when Li Mu came home from get off work, Qu Xiaoxiao and Fan Shengmei invited him to Andy's house to eat hairy crabs.
After thinking about it for a while, I agreed.
He and Andy are no strangers. Li Mu goes downstairs to run and practice martial arts every day. Andy is also a fitness expert and goes downstairs to run and exercise every morning.
There were not many people doing morning exercises in the community, and the two often met during morning exercises, but amateur athletes like Andy were naturally incomparable to Li Mu.
This made her seem to be curious about Li Mu, and she paid more attention to him. Later, she met him during morning exercises. They often said hello and chatted for a few words, and gradually became familiar with him.
…
At this time, Qu Xiaoxiao went back to her own house to tidy up Andy's residence, and invited Li Mu. Then she came to 2201, saw Andy, and rushed towards him.
"Sister Andy, I'm here and I miss you so much."
Andy was using his laptop to chat with a netizen named Singularity, and made an appointment to meet up.
Seeing that Qu Xiaoxiao was about to pounce, he closed his notebook helplessly and quickly got out of the way.
Qu Xiaoxiao threw herself away and said with a resentful look on her face: "Sister Andy, I'm so sad that you are hiding from me."
Andy smiled and said: "Sorry, Xiaoqu, I'm not used to physical contact, including hugs."
As he spoke, he shrugged, showing a helpless expression.
Qu Xiaoxiao acted aggrieved, but seeing that Andy was unmoved, she stopped teasing her.
However, she was naturally fond of movement rather than silence. She rolled her eyes and looked at Guan Ju'er curiously: "Where's Xiao Qiu! There are two people in your house. Xiao Qiu always likes to join in the fun, why didn't he come this time?"
Guan Ju'er explained: "Didn't Xiaoqiu's boyfriend get arrested and she herself lose her job? She has been very sad these days!"
"I followed his father's instructions this afternoon and bought a few inspirational books from the bookstore. I am reading them now to cheer myself up."
"Well, it's hard to find a good job now. I don't know when Yingying will be able to find a job."
Qu Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "It's not easy to find a job. Whether it's your brother Li Mu or me, there's no need to worry so much about raising your hand."
Guan Ju'er's eyes lit up: "Brother Li's company is a technology company, the threshold is very high, and most of the people needed are technical personnel. It will be difficult for Yingying to adapt."
"Xiao Xiao, I heard that you are also the boss of the company now. The company is quite large. Is there any position suitable for Yingying? Please help her."
Qu Xiaoxiao thought about the positions that her company was lacking, and said with some hesitation: "Our company still lacks a few markets. If Yingying agrees, I can arrange it now."
"Just, do you think Yingying's emotional intelligence is suitable for running the market? This position is not easy. Not only does it require thick skin, but you also need to be familiar with people and the world. It is best to be a good person. Is Xiaoqiu suitable?"
Guan Ju'er thinks about Qiu Yingying, her emotional intelligence is indeed not very high, let alone running the market to deceive others, she might be deceived by others in turn.
He shook his head and said: "Yingying is really not suitable for running the market."
"Xiao Xiao, what do you think we should do? Should she continue like this and never find a suitable job? I wonder if Yingying can bear it."
Qu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and said, "Actually, there are still people here who can help Yingying, and it's still a good job."
Guan Juer said: "Who is it?"
Qu Xiaoxiao nuzzled towards Andy: "Who else can there be besides Andy!"
"Andy is the chief financial officer of Shengxuan Group. He has a lot of power. Arranging Qiu Yingying is not a trivial matter."
"Maybe Yingying will soar into the sky and be directly assigned to the headquarters."
Andy heard their conversation and smiled lightly. She was very direct in speaking.
"I'm sorry, there are only two kinds of women in my place, an iron lady or a stunning vase. Xiaoqiu is not suitable!"
Qu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she approached and asked, "Then...shall I go?"
Andy looked her up and down: "How can a vase be compared with a vixen? Of course you are welcome."
"Yeah!" Qu Xiaoxiao was very proud, but she did not forget to praise Andy: "So, sister Andy, you are a stunning vase and an iron lady."
Andy smiled and did not answer her question, but continued the topic just now.
"It's not impossible to give Xiaoqiu a recommendation. There should be many suitable positions for her in the subsidiaries below."
"However, I just came here not long ago, and I am not very familiar with the people in the subsidiary below. After a while, when I become familiar with him, I can try to recommend him based on Xiaoqiu's personality and ability."
Guan Ju'er said happily: "Thank you, Sister Andy. Yingying will definitely be happy when she finds out. She has been worrying about finding a job these two days."
Andy said: "You're welcome. You can let her search and hone her skills first. If she can't find the right one, I can help recommend it."
Guan Ju'er said happily: "Sister Andy, you are so kind. I want to thank you on Yingying's behalf."
Andy said: "Sister Fan is about to finish the meal. Where is Yingying! Why hasn't she come yet? Li Mu hasn't arrived either."
Qu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, she raised her hand and said, "I'm going to call Brother Li Mu." As he said that, he disappeared instantly.
Guan Ju'er said: "Then I'll call Yingying. She's not in good condition. I don't know if she will come."
Andy said: "Then I will go and see it with you."
Guan Ju'er said happily: "Sister Andy, you can definitely go. She has been reading those books about chicken blood today. I'm really worried that she has been cheated."
Ten minutes later, Li Mu arrived at Andy's house with a bottle of wine and Qu Xiaoxiao. Fan Shengmei was the only one preparing dinner, and was about to ask where they were.
An expressionless Andy walked in, followed closely by Guan Ju'er, who said anxiously: "Sister Andy, Yingying is not like this at ordinary times. She listens to all our opinions. She must have suffered a lot during this time."
It’s like this because of too many blows and a bad mood.”
Andy smiled faintly at Guan Ju'er and said, "Don't worry, Xiaoguan, I'm fine, and I won't be angry. I just really can't figure out why Xiaoqiu is like this."
"Why does she like and believe in such a book that makes no sense, is full of loopholes, and is full of sensationalism?"
"She was so passionate and enthusiastic when she was reading just now. I really can't understand how anyone could believe this kind of book."
Guan Ju'er and Qu Xiaoxiao looked at each other, obviously unable to give a reasonable explanation.
Li Mu smiled and said: "Andy, this is your perspective on the problem. In fact, people are different, including not only innate IQ and EQ, but also the acquired environment, knowledge and vision, which are also different.
the same."
"With your IQ and vision, you can naturally easily identify the loopholes in these books, but others may not be able to easily identify them."
Andy nodded slightly, accepting his statement.
Still confused, he said: "Then I just tried to persuade her and pointed out the mistakes and omissions. Why not only did she not understand, but she seemed quite angry."
"I'm not angry with her because of this, I just want to understand the reason."
Li Muchao: "The reason is similar to the previous question. You have different IQs, different outlooks, and different views and understandings of things."
"You act rationally and pay attention to logic. For things that are not logical and rational, you will feel that it is wrong and inappropriate to do so."
"Whenever I encounter something, I will use my own rationality and logic to think and solve it."
"Xiao Qiu is different from you. She is less rational and logical. She is more concerned with feelings when doing things. She is not very rational when it comes to things and cares more about her inner feelings."
"She has just encountered two major blows. It is impossible for her to be rational. It is impossible to adjust her emotions with her own reason and logic. External intervention is necessary."
"It can be an inspirational movie or an inspirational book. It's best to have something exciting. It doesn't matter whether it's logical or not. You'll forget these things once you've seen them. Who can remember them?"
"But as long as it works and the chicken blood can adjust her emotions and return her mentality to normal, then it's a good thing for her."
"These books are actually quite suitable for her current state of mind. It doesn't matter if she can't learn anything. The most important thing is that they can pull her out of her emotional trough."
"A is honey, B is arsenic. Your situations are too different, and your personalities are also too different. What suits you may not be suitable for her."
Andy nodded thoughtfully: "Li Mu, what you said makes sense, but my thinking was too narrow."
"Everyone's situation is different, and what suits them is different. The method that suits me may not suit Xiaoqiu. Thank you."
Li Mu smiled and said: "You're welcome, I came to your house specifically to eat hairy crabs today."
…
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Qiu Yingying walked in blankly.
"Sister Andy, I really don't like your attitude just now. My father knew that I was in a bad mood and asked me to buy these books specifically to cheer me up again."
"These books are really useful. After reading them, I feel much better, less depressed, and have more confidence. You have to say they are fake and wrong. What is true and good?"
"I think the stories in the book inspired me and helped me recover emotionally from the double blow of my boyfriend being arrested and losing my job. It's a good book."
"Your attitude is destroying my enthusiasm and will make me confused again. Why do you think what you said must be correct?"
"The book says that humans are emotional animals, and emotions need to be adjusted by external stimulation, not by logic and reason alone."
"you…"
Qiu Yingying wanted to continue talking, but Guan Ju'er quickly interrupted: "Yingying, Sister Andy also cares about you. We are all caring about you and want you to cheer up as soon as possible."
Andy also said at this time: "Yingying, you are right. I apologize to you for what I just said. I don't understand the situation and I shouldn't speak to you casually."
Qiu Yingying opened her mouth, and the breath in her heart suddenly disappeared.
After a moment, he said very seriously: "Okay, I forgive you, Sister Andy. I know you have good intentions."
The room finally calmed down.
Fan Shengmei put a lot of effort into cooking. Plates were placed on the granite counter in the kitchen, including stir-fried vegetables with mushrooms, roasted pork with fried tofu, twice-cooked pork, pickled fish, and of course two large plates of hairy crabs.
Everyone brought the dishes to the restaurant, and then the atmosphere gradually became brighter. They were eating, drinking, and having a lot of fun.
Of course, the atmosphere would have been better if Fan Shengmei and Qu Xiaoxiao were not in harmony on the surface but at war with each other privately.
