Lin Yue ignored her, turned his head and looked at the waiter, designated the dishes on the menu and said: "One charcoal-grilled secret pork neck, one spicy stir-fried minced cowpea with Luojie leaves, by the way..."
This time he looked at Guan Ju'er: "Do you like sweet food?"
Guan Juer nodded.
"Then let's have another piece of pineapple fried rice, plus seafood tom yum soup for two people." Lin Yue handed the menu to the waiter: "Thank you, please tell the chef to serve the food faster."
"Okay, please wait."
The waiter left with the menu in one hand and the ordering device in the other.
Only then did he turn back and look at Guan Ju'er: "Waiters should not talk about other things while working. This is very disrespectful to workers."
Guan Ju'er looked confused. You must know that Lin Yue is usually quite rude to Qu Xiaoxiao and Fan Shengmei. Today, even Andy was offended. Why did he talk about respect when he turned to the waiter?
"It's strange, isn't it?" Perhaps seeing the doubt in her mind, Lin Yue said, "Actually, this is the same problem as what you said above."
Guan Ju'er was even more strange.
"Qu Xiaoxiao's father has a net worth of over 100 million, and Andy's annual salary is seven figures. Compared to you, Fan Shengmei, and Qiu Yingying, these two people are definitely middle class, right?"
Guan Ju'er thinks about it.
"The domestic elite has a very annoying characteristic. Their sense of superiority must be realized by controlling social resources and firmly restricting the possibility of upward mobility for the bottom class. In other words, the harder the life of the bottom class is, the more overwhelming their sense of superiority will be. .”
Guan Ju'er shook his head: "Brother Lin, I don't understand."
Lin Yue said: "Let's put it this way, when it comes to Qu Xiaoxiao, this sense of superiority is that she is smart and well-informed, but she is nosy for your own good. Qiu Yingying must be grateful, otherwise she is stupid. When it comes to Andy, it is I am a successful person. All the problems you encounter in life and work are not problems to me. This kind of attitude is like a heavenly immortal who has come to earth to experience life. Even so, they still have to use A kind of elite also has elite troubles that interfere with your life. Your pain comes from work pressure, Qiu Yingying's pain comes from unsatisfactory relationships, Fan Shengmei's pain comes from left-over women's hatred of marriage and greed for vanity. Your status reflects the thousands of people in society. Thousands of working people, but what about Qu Xiaoxiao? Her pain comes from having to fight for the family property with her half-brother. Andy... I won’t talk about Andy. You will know it later. In short, these two Personally, even the pain shows that they are sophisticated and literary and petty bourgeoisie. Therefore, in my opinion, including Wei Wei, these people's kindness to you is full of contempt, pity and charity. What they value is not Sisterhood is a sense of social participation and role-playing. In short, you are the stray cats in front of Qu Xiaoxiao, and you are the fireworks that Andy has never experienced. I am a person who has always loved and hated Obviously, why should we respect people we don’t like?”
"..." Guan Ju'er has never thought about this problem. In her mind, Andy is so smart, strong, and reliable, and Qu Xiaoxiao is so beautiful, fashionable, and rich. In short, they look very dazzling, unlike 2202 There were three people inside, and even the room was filled with an aura called anxiety.
Lin Yue paused and then said: "Shanghai drifters, local snakes, business elites... The 22nd floor is a miniature version of society."
For some reason, Guan Ju'er suddenly felt a deep sense of fear.
"Sir, your meal." The waiter came over with a tray and placed the dishes he just ordered on the table. Lin Yue greeted with a smile, sent the person away and pushed the Shimei pineapple fried rice in front of Guan Ju'er: " Let’s eat something sweet first to calm down the shock.”
More than half an hour later.
Guan Juer returned to Team B of the Operations Department and sat in her seat. Until now, she was still in a daze. She had not fully understood what Lin Yue said during the meal. It should be said that she had not graduated from college for a year and could not understand society at all. of cruelty.
"Have you heard? Guan Ju'er and Manager Lin from the investment banking department who just secured a large-scale merger and acquisition case for the company went to have dinner at the Guojin Building in front."
"I'm just telling you, why did the investment banking manager come to the operations department to say hello when he was hired? It turns out he was just a drunkard and was not interested in drinking."
"Go, go, don't gossip. If the manager hears it, you won't be able to eat and walk away."
"What's the matter? Everyone just said that if a man is not married and a woman is not married, even if she is really in love, no one else can care about her."
"Office romance is always bad."
"It also depends on the identity of the person in love."
"..."
Guan Ju'er looked at Xiaoye who was immersed in work opposite, and then at Michelle who didn't know where she was going. She couldn't help but remember those gossips.
At the same time, Qu's father came to Qu Xiaoxiao's company.
"Xiaoxiao..."
Before he could finish speaking, he tripped over a bump in the floor.
Ouch~
Miss Bai Fumei, who was arranging stationery in front, quickly put down her hand and came to support him: "Dad, why are you here? Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Qu's father waved his hand: "Come for a spot check and take a look..."
Just as he was about to say, "Look at my baby girl," he suddenly noticed that the right side of Qu Xiaoxiao's face was slightly swollen and there was a little blood scab at the corner of her eye.
"Hey, your face...what's wrong?"
Of course, Qu Xiaoxiao couldn't tell him the truth. Firstly, she was beaten up for seducing someone else's boyfriend and was thrown into the Qu family. Secondly, if she really told her parents the truth, those two people would definitely force her to move, not to mention that she was tortured very much by Lin Yue. If you are not convinced, Andy is her nobleman. If you want to set up the company and kick Qu Lianjie to death, her help is indispensable, so Room 2203, Building 19, Ode to Joy Community, must be accommodated.
"Hey, last night I went to a bar with Yao Bin and the others to celebrate. I drank too much and fell down on the way. It's nothing serious."
"Did you drink too much and fall? Did you drink too much and get into a fight with someone in the bar?"
"..." Qu Xiaoxiao didn't say anything. Her father had been in business for so many years and his eyes were poisonous. He would definitely be able to tell whether the wounds on her face were scratched by others or rubbed on the ground, so she deliberately added " A scene setting, waiting for dad to jump into it.
"You young people, when will you become more mature and stable? You hang out in bars and discos every day, and you won't even know your last name after a few drinks."
"Dad, I understand, just be careful next time." Qu Xiaoxiao said coquettishly: "I was accidentally scratched when we were having a fight. It's okay."
While the two were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of footsteps behind them. Qu Xiaoxiao turned around and saw that the person coming was her brother Qu Lianjie, who had always been at odds with her.
"Hey, it's a bad sign that you've just started a company and you've got bad luck on your face."
Qu Xiaoxiao looked at her father and then at Qu Lianjie. The smile that was on her face suddenly disappeared: "Why are you here?"
"Why can't I come? My sister's company is about to start operations. Wouldn't it be too foolish for me, the elder brother, not to come and take a look?"
Qu Xiaoxiao remained silent.
Qu's father said: "Xiao Xiao, what your brother said is good, otherwise how can we call ourselves a family?"
Qu Xiaoxiao's innermost thoughts were about who and his family were, but naturally he couldn't say it in front of his biological father. Instead, he gave a standard fake smile without warmth.
Qu Lianjie didn't care. He walked to the nearest desk and looked through the agency information about GI air conditioners: "There are still a few days to negotiate with foreign parties. I wonder how prepared my good sister is?"
"Do you want to take care of it?" Qu Xiaoxiao glanced at him, hummed twice with a smile on his face, looked back at Qu's father and said, "Dad, just wait and see, let's see how I can take down the tiger girl in one fell swoop. Get rid of those foreigners."
"Okay, okay." Qu's father smiled and nodded: "Dad believes in your ability."
…
That night, Guan Ju'er dragged her tired body back to her residence. The first thing she did was to visit Qiu Yingying, who had taken leave on Monday, and persuaded her to go to work the next day and try to face the scumbag of Supervisor Bai. After all, you can't sacrifice your work for a man. Throw it away.
As for the video file Lin Yue sent her, she did not show it to Qiu Yingying out of some small considerations that she did not want others to know.
On the other side, Andy was discussing what happened at noon with Wei Wei.
"I'm sorry, I was so rude at noon."
"No, it's not your fault. I didn't expect to meet him there either."
"If I guess correctly, he is the person you were talking about last night."
"yes."
"I asked a friend to check this afternoon. He is from Anhui. Judging from his age, place of origin, study and work history, there is no overlap with my life."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm wondering...if he's taking advantage of the situation."
"Using a topic?"
"Yes, I suspect he likes you."
"Like me? Impossible, have you forgotten what I said last night? She likes one of my neighbors."
"That local girl? Have you ever heard of the term 'spare tire'?"
"You said I was his 'spare tire'?" Andy typed this sentence as if he had heard the most incredible joke in the world.
"He can call me by name and knows my past experiences. This is definitely not the basic skill of an investment bank VP as he said. I was wondering... have you ever told him about me? Something happened, or did he become aware of my existence?"
"No." After typing "no", Andy seemed to suddenly remember something: "I invited him to my house for dinner before. He sat in the study for a long time. At that time, my notebook was placed on the table, next to the text you posted. Is it possible that the word-solving game you gave me..."
"Yes, according to the information I have, he used to work in an IT company. You also mentioned that this person has a very high IQ and must be involved in hacking technology. To retrieve some sensitive information based on my ID, I think It’s not difficult.”
"Do you think he went there on purpose to cause trouble today?"
"It's very possible."
"If what you said is true, he is too unreasonable."
"That's why I told you to stay away from him yesterday. How about it? You must be hurt by what happened today."
"Well, you make sense."
"By the way, how about we meet again sometime? I think it is necessary to explain to you what happened in the past."
"Actually, you don't need to care so much about my feelings. Business matters are sometimes complicated and difficult to deal with. I understand this very well."
"What? Your friend ruined our date, are you so cruel that you don't even give me a chance to save this embarrassing situation?"
Andy smiled helplessly, pondered for a moment, and typed the word "Okay" in the dialog box.
In 2103, Lin Yue leaned his head on the back of the sofa.
Spare tire? very nice……
But is she worthy?
