Siheyuan: Starting with level 8 benchwork skills

Fan Shengmei is quite confident in this self-assessment.

Even though the fact that Hong Qiaoshu is Qiu Yingying's boyfriend cannot be changed, Fan Shengmei does not have too much entanglement in the area of ​​moral values.

In this world, there are often only winners and losers - it is always better to have than to lose. Just being able to gain a foothold where others have not set foot is already a victory.

How could someone as perceptive as Qu Xiaoxiao not notice what Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer were thinking? She even had a strong urge to get close to this handsome man and win his affection, then ruthlessly abandon him, and see him in pain as a way of revenge.

Perhaps it was because Qiu Yingying showed off her affection in front of Qu Xiaoxiao too much. She just couldn't accept that the people in room 2202 had a good ending.

Qu Xiaoxiao had long since disregarded Sister Fan, this seemingly ambitious lady, let alone a simple girl like Qiu Yingying?

As for Guan Juer, her introversion and ignorance are even more ignored.

Hong Qiaoshu, who was climbing the ladder behind the group of women, could not help but be attracted by Fan Shengmei's seductive curves; at the same time, Qiu Yingying in his arms also gave him an irresistible feeling.

When they were about to reach the 21st floor, Hong Qiaoshu asked, "Do you want to come to my house and sit for a while?"

Andy declined without looking back: "No need, I plan to have a good rest."

But Qu Xiaoxiao's eyes moved, and although she wanted to go forward, she did not express it.

This is undoubtedly a mystery to Fan Shengmei, and for Guan Juer, she also wants to find out the truth.

For Qiu Yingying, this desire is even stronger. She has never even been to her boyfriend Hong Qiaoshu's residence: "Sure, sure! Dear Uncle Shu, I haven't visited your room. How about we go together? Sister Fan and Guan Guan, you can come too!"

Guan Juer immediately agreed: "Good idea."

Then Qiu Yingying invited Qu Xiaoxiao: "Hey, how about we go together? You can go and see if the decoration style of my dear Shushu's residence is more attractive. As for Andy, you should come too. It would be too boring to go back alone."

Fan Shengmei hesitated a little and tried to say, "Your parents will be here, maybe this is not appropriate?"

Hong Qiaoshu replied with a smile: "Don't worry, in fact, I am an orphan."

Andy had a subtle emotional reaction to the word "orphan" and unknowingly decided to accompany Qiu Yingying on the visit.

After hearing that he was an orphan, Qiu Yingying felt a surge of love in her heart and held his hand tightly.

In fact, Qiu Yingying, who had never heard Hong Qiaoshu mention his family background in the past, once thought that he was from a wealthy family.

Pushing open the door of room 2103, the decoration inside the room was completely different from the style of Andy and Qu Xiaoxiao.

Although Hong Qiaoshu doesn't know much about decoration, he thinks that: In comparison, Andy's room is darker and simpler, with a hint of light industrial charm. On the other hand, Qu Xiaoxiao's room has an exotic design concept.

The decoration of Hong Qiaoshu's residence is mainly based on elegant wooden elements, which is a modern and simple Nordic style. It is full of a natural and healthy atmosphere, simple and pure.

The feeling of returning home is like returning to a peaceful spiritual haven, with smooth lines, pure and simple colors, and every detail is designed to create a sense of freedom and comfort. When Andy stepped into the door, she felt a warm home-like atmosphere; but this decoration style was obviously not to Qu Xiaoxiao's taste, and she repeatedly showed that she didn't like it.

Fan Shengmei prefers a more luxurious style, so this simple design is not to her liking.

On the contrary, Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer like this style very much.

They walked around every corner and then sat in the living room and looked out the spacious transparent window. The night city scene was unobstructed and intoxicating. Qiu Yingying was so excited that she quickly ran to the window and exclaimed: "Oh, Xiao Shushu, look at the decoration of your house. It is really similar to the refreshing Japanese style. The view from this floor is great!"

Guan Juer, who was standing by, echoed, "Indeed, those furniture and wooden floors give people a very comfortable feeling."

Seeing that there were guests visiting, in order to welcome them, Hong Qiaoshu specially prepared authentic black tea leaves purchased directly from the Wuyi Mountain area. Although it was not the top-quality variety, it was the excellent offspring carefully cultivated on the farm.

Tea contains unique spiritual energy, and long-term drinking can have a positive impact on the body.

"This black tea not only warms the stomach, but also has a good beauty effect. You can try it and you will find that it is very different from ordinary foreign teas!"

Hong Qiaoshu poured a cup for everyone, and Qiu Yingying was particularly dissatisfied after tasting two cups. She quickly asked for another one like a thirsty cow drinking water. People often think that black tea has the effect of "strengthening the heart and improving complexion". The "theaflavins and tea polyphenols" contained in it are the "secret recipe" for these effects, especially for people with naturally weak stomach qi.

Andy returned from overseas and lived there for a longer time, so although he had heard some things about Chinese tea culture, he was not very clear about the mysteries behind it.

On weekdays, she is more accustomed to drinking purified water and prefers cold drinks.

If they want a warm drink, they will only choose a cup of strong coffee without any sugar or milk, because coffee has a sobering effect.

As for drinking green tea, I can usually only experience it occasionally from Lao Tan. The first time I tasted black tea, the warmth and comfort in my stomach was pleasant, and my originally cold expression was slightly relaxed.

"Now that I've shown you around the house and you've tasted this wonderful tea, I'm going to go back and rest. Let's get together for dinner again when we're free." Andy, who was always straightforward, said goodbye immediately.

Qu Xiaoxiao, who is usually lively and smart, seemed quite quiet today after she stepped through the door, and silently followed Andy out.

Perhaps she also got a glimpse of some information about the owner from the style and design of the house that was unknown to outsiders.

On Sunday morning, in this courtyard full of stories, Hong Qiaoshu went directly to the second floor to greet his new love Qiu Yingying. At this moment, Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer were still immersed in sleep, and Qiu Yingying had just gotten up from bed.

The first love couple held hands and happily went to McDonald's for breakfast, and then spent the day at the amusement park. For Hong Qiaoshu, it was very pleasant to get along with Qiu Yingying - her simple nature and straightforward expression made people not have to suspect anything, and even her occasional displeasure seemed extremely cute and easy to comfort.

At dinner time, they found a noodle shop to have a delicious meal together. Hong Qiaoshu then helped Qiu Yingying change her hairstyle. He decided to help her with nourishing care, added a playful air bangs, and tied a simple ponytail, and decorated it with some exquisite accessories. This made Qiu Yingying look more fresh and lively.

When they returned to their residence, both Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer were amazed at how Qiu Yingying had become more youthful after a small change. In the evening, when Qiu Yingying remembered him via WeChat, she had a satisfied smile on her face.

The next morning, a new week began. Her boyfriend Hong Qiaoshu drove to pick up Qiu Yingying for work to save her from the hard work of commuting, which touched Qiu Yingying deeply.

Not only that, this innocent and kind girl also specially prepared a simple breakfast for Hong Qiaoshu, which made him extremely happy. He hugged her tightly and kissed her again and again. Her shy face with red cheeks was adorable.

As Hong Qiaoshu drove out of the underground parking lot, Fan Shengmei hurriedly dragged Guan Juer, who had not yet fully woken up and was still mumbling, to the front door of the apartment. At this time, they saw Andy whizzing past them in a sports car and Qu Xiaodie driving a small Polo to work. This scene made Fan Shengmei sigh "the world is unpredictable", and at the same time noticed the figures of Hong Qiaoshu and Qiu Yingying behind them.

During the ride, Qiu Yingying was all smiles. She felt even happier when she learned that Hong Qiaoshu would personally bring her lunch to share with her at noon. So she exclaimed loudly, "I am so happy. I actually have a perfect boyfriend like Shushu!" Hong Qiaoshu responded while driving, "Are you happy? If you are, please agree to be my lifelong partner. I will take care of you for the rest of your life!"

Hearing these words, Qiu Yingying immediately blushed with shame, "Take your time. Sister Fan said that men will not cherish things that are too easy to get. You have to accept the test for a certain period of time."

Hong Qiaoshu was unwilling to do so, so he threatened her slightly, "If you continue the assessment, you might lose such a handsome and caring boyfriend!"

Qiu Yingying, who was sitting next to him, leaned against him and acted coquettishly: "No, no, I'll let you pamper me for a little while longer... Anyway, I will be yours in the end..." Hong Qiaoshu gently stroked her small cheek, deeply inhaled the scent emanating from her, his heart filled with infinite expectation of bringing this treasure home.

When they parted, Qiu Yingying kept waving goodbye. As soon as she entered the workplace, she ran briskly to her post and laughed happily by herself. Her innocent and lovely appearance was really pleasing to the eye.

She was in a good mood early in the morning and was very happy, but not long after, as if to prove the old saying "extreme joy leads to sorrow", something unpleasant happened.

As soon as she arrived at the company, the department manager handed her a pile of invoices and asked her to sort and paste them as soon as possible so that they could be sent to the Finance Department for reimbursement. Because he had a business trip plan to go out that night and urgently needed the money.

As an office worker—in other words, a shared assistant to the powerful people in the group—this was her job.

Director Bai happens to be the person responsible for approving reimbursement documents.

Director Bai seemed to have a good impression of her recently, but Qiu Yingying was fully focused on Hong Qiaoshu, so she ignored him.

As usual, she sorted out the documents and submitted them to the finance department.
