Chapter 136 Ode to Joy and Sanmei's Dilemma
Rewind the time to three hours ago, at 45:2202 in the evening, in room [-] of Ode to Joy community, after Yuan Xudong took the initiative to end the WeChat communication, Qiu Yingying rushed out of the bedroom with her mobile phone, and patted the doors of Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer respectively Excitedly said:
"Sister Fan, Guan Guan, come out quickly, Mr. Yuan has contacted me!"

Hearing that Yuan Xudong contacted Qiu Yingying, Fan Shengmei hurriedly opened the door, tearing off the mask and throwing it into the trash can, she said in a concerned voice:

"Little earthworm, what did Mr. Yuan say?"

"Mr. Yuan wants to invite Guan Guan and me to have dinner at the nearby Hilton Hotel. He will pick us up at the community at seven o'clock tomorrow night!"

Qiu Yingying ran over to hug Fan Shengmei's arm and was very excited. When Guan Juer walked out of the bedroom with her eyes narrowed, Qiu Yingying hurried over to hug her and bounced and said:

"Guan Guan, Mr. Yuan wants to invite us to dinner at the nearby Hilton Hotel. He will pick us up at the community at [-] o'clock tomorrow night. Remember to get off work early and don't be late!"

"Hmm~"

Guan Juer nodded slightly, looked at Qiu Yingying with her eyes narrowed and said happily:

"Yingying, it's my first time to eat at the Hilton Hotel. I heard it's very expensive there, but I don't know if it's true!"

"of course it's true!"

Seeing Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer hugging each other, Fan Shengmei's eyes were full of envy and said:

"In such a high-end place, if you order a few good dishes and open a bottle of good wine, our sisters' salary for three months will be gone. Do you think it is expensive?"

Hearing what Fan Shengmei said, Qiu Yingying let go of the switch and stood there counting with her fingers:
"My monthly salary is 2, Guan Guan is [-], Sister Fan is [-], and the three of us add up to [-]. One meal costs me five months' salary. Is it too expensive?"

"Silly girl, there are classes in this society, just like a pyramid. We are at the bottom, and Mr. Yuan is at the top of the tower. You think it's unbelievable that a meal costs you five months' salary. Those rich people I think it’s even more unbelievable that you only spend more than 1000 yuan a month for food, it’s simply unimaginable!"

Touching Qiu Yingying's small head, Fan Shengmei forced a smile and said:

"But it doesn't matter. You and Guan Guan are still young, and now you meet Mr. Yuan again. You will definitely not be like Sister Fan in the future. You are both 30 years old and still can't get married. After so many years of struggle in Shanghai, you have nothing but a pile of rags. No!"

Seeing Fan Shengmei's eyes were flushed, and the more she spoke, the more sad she became, Qiu Yingying said worriedly:
"Sister Fan, what's the matter with you?"

It was the first time I saw Fan Shengmei showing her weak side, crying sadly like an ordinary woman, Guan Juer looked surprised and said worriedly:
"Sister Fan, have you encountered any difficulties?"

"No, Sister Fan is just expressing her feelings. When she heard that Mr. Yuan wanted to invite you to dinner, Sister Fan was happy for you. She was also a little sad in her heart. Thinking of the time when she came to Shanghai to work alone, she was lonely and hid from others to eat steamed buns every day. Living in the company dormitory, why is there no good man willing to let my sister rely on it?"

Seeing Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer looking at her worriedly, Fan Shengmei wiped the corners of her eyes, forced a smile and said:
"You are different from Sister Fan. You are both the only child 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. If you have money, you have to have good looks. The most important thing is which one of you he is likely to pursue.

Sister Fan told you that if Mr. Yuan really pursues you, he must firmly grasp the opportunity. It may be such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you grasp it, you will fly on a branch and become a phoenix. They are all at the bottom of society, you know? "

Seeing Fan Shengmei's sad look, Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer glanced at each other, then followed her intention and nodded vigorously:
"Understood, Sister Fan!"

Looking at the cute and cute Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer, Fan Shengmei smiled through tears, stretched out her hand to hook the necks of the two of them, and sighed sincerely:
"Sister Fan really envies you two. You can say whatever you want, do whatever you want, don't care about other people's opinions, and live according to your own wishes. Maybe that's why you are happier than me."

Hearing what Fan Shengmei said, Qiu Yingying glanced at her with a dejected look on her face and said:

"Sister Fan, you're wrong. I don't just do whatever I want. I'm already an adult, 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 doesn't agree. They are worthless, and I insist on staying in Shanghai to work, but my monthly salary is only 4000 yuan, and I can’t even support myself, when will I be able to buy a house and a car in Shanghai?”

After Qiu Yingying finished speaking, and before Fan Shengmei opened her mouth to speak, Guan Juer who was at the side agreed with her whole face:

"Me too. My parents are looking for someone through various relationships, and they sent me to this company as an intern. Not to mention the one-year internship, there is still a 50.00% elimination rate. They all graduated from prestigious schools, and I am the only one." I was an ordinary university student, so I was so worried about being dismissed, so I had to work hard, often working overtime until ten o'clock in the evening, and then fell asleep on the bed when I got home, and continued to work the next day, it was so difficult!"

Looking at Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer who are not deeply involved in the world, Fan Shengmei said with a smile in the corner of her eyes:
"Little earthworm, do you want to buy a house in Shanghai?"

"Of course I do, Sister Fan, what can you do?"

Qiu Yingying nodded vigorously, and said with longing:

"If I have the ability to buy a house, I will buy a house in our Ode to Joy community, just like the 2202 we live in now. There must be three bedrooms, and we each have one room, so that we don't have to look at the face of the property and the landlord, Sister Fan , Guan Guan, what do you think?"

"Well, I also think our community is pretty good, quite suitable for living!"

Without waiting for Fan Shengmei to respond, Guan Juer on the side nodded slightly in agreement and said:

"The environment here is so good, it's so close to the subway, and the size and layout of the houses are suitable. If I can have my own house here, it will be like a dream!"

"Yeah, it's like a dream!"

Seeing Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer looking at her, Fan Shengmei hugged them both and said with a smile:

"House here in Shanghai is not expensive. You can buy a small apartment with a down payment of about 100 million, and you can get a loan of 300 or 30 million from the bank. If you two are so young, you can take a loan for 1 years. After that, you will pay more than 50 yuan a month. The money, about [-], will pay off the loan when the two of you are in your [-]s, isn’t it 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 my life, and I have no life to buy a house!"

"The key is that renting a house is not cheap!"

Guan Juer on the side was also a little discouraged and said:

"Take the 2202 we are renting now as an example. We pay the rent once every three months and pay the property management fee ourselves. Each of us shares 7000 yuan equally, and the three of us add up to more than [-] yuan. It's too expensive, my three-month salary is only [-], and the rent accounts for a little more than half, just like a serf in a landlord's house, when will this be the end of it!"

Seeing the frustrated faces of Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer, 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 big crocodile like him, buying a multi-million dollar house is like buying a pack of instant noodles for us. If he really likes a woman , that woman will be as happy as a princess, you two are so cute, my sister is optimistic about you!"

Hearing Fan Shengmei praised her cuteness, without waiting for Guan Juer who was at the side to speak, Qiu Yingying said excitedly:

"Sister Fan, am I really cute? Mr. Yuan also praised me for being cute. Does he like me?"

Hearing what Qiu Yingying said, both Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer looked at her curiously. Qiu Yingying has always had a carefree temper, and she just said what she thought in her heart. She said that Yuan Xudong praised her for being cute. Here, Guan Juer couldn't help but open his mouth and said curiously:

"Yingying, when did Mr. Yuan praise you for being cute?"

"Just now, he praised me in WeChat!"

While talking, Qiu Yingying opened WeChat to find the chat records between her and Yuan Xudong, then handed the phone to Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer and said with a smile:
"Look, the last sentence, Miss Qiu, you are so cute, is he praising me?"

Not paying attention to what Qiu Yingying said, Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer dragged her and Yuan Xudong's chat records, from shared address to job position, from age to hobbies, all the information that could be disclosed was exposed by Qiu Yingying.

What's more, she also sent two photos of Yuan Xudong's life in 2202, Fan Shengmei in white pajamas, with a graceful figure, Qiu Yingying, who was eating donuts and drinking milk tea, lively and lovely, and combing her hair just after taking a shower. Guan Juer with hair is quiet and introverted.

Seeing himself in the photo wearing only a white T-shirt, a pair of light pink shorts, the skin on his legs and arms is fully exposed, thinking of Yuan Xudong seeing him just after taking a shower, Guan Juer couldn't help but look pale Blushing, she looked at the heartless Qiu Yingying and said angrily:
"Yingying, why did you send the photo of me just after taking a shower to Mr. Yuan?"

Glancing at Guan Juer, who was blushing, Qiu Yingying said as a matter of course:
"Mr. Yuan asked me for two photos. I think your photo is the best, so I sent it to him. Your skin is so good, just like Lin Daiyu in Dream of the Red Chamber. Mr. Yuan will definitely like it!"

"Little earthworm, it's fine if you post photos of Guan Guan, why are you still posting mine?"

Turning a blind eye to Qiu Yingying, Fan Shengmei read the chat records between her and Yuan Xudong, and said in a teasing voice:

"Mr. Yuan really praised you for being cute!"

Before Qiu Yingying could show joy, she quickly added:
"It's just cute and silly, you just answer whatever people ask you?"

Before Qiu Yingying opened her mouth to defend herself, the phone rang for a while. It was Fan Shengmei's phone. She quickly took out the phone and took a look. The caller showed her mother. Fan Shengmei's expression changed slightly, and then she returned Qiu Yingying's phone and said briefly :

"I'll answer the phone, you and Guan Guan will wait for a while!"

"Understood, Sister Fan, you go to answer the phone first, it's so late, your mother must be looking for you urgently!"

"Maybe!"

Fan Shengmei nodded slightly, then walked back to her room, closed the door and connected to the phone, before she could speak, a slightly harsh voice sounded from the opposite side:
"Xiaomei, why haven't you paid back this month? Your brother and your sister-in-law are almost out of control, and Lei Lei is crying for milk every day. It doesn't matter if we adults barely eat it, but we can't suffer, Lei Lei. what!"

Hiding in the corner of the room, Fan Shengmei suppressed her voice and said in pain:
"Mom, I am also your child. Have you ever called me to care about me? Every time you call, you ask for money. I only have 1 yuan a month, and I have to pay 9000 yuan in rent this month. I will last for a month with the 1000 yuan I placed, so figure out a way for yourself!"
