A woman like Ode to Joy

The monthly meeting on Monday was held early in the morning, and it was finally their department's turn to finish the report. Each department was called in turn, and finally the bosses of each department held a meeting together.

Fan Shengmei made a cup of coffee in the tea room, in front of which were the small conference rooms of various departments.She didn't pay attention at first, but when she looked up while holding the coffee, she saw someone inside.The person sitting at the back happened to be facing the glass door. The moment she raised her head, a pair of eyes looked at her.

Fan Shengmei stared blankly at the owner of those eyes, nodded lightly, then quietly walked away holding the cup.

Since that day, she has never met the owner of those eyes again.Now that I think about it, I feel a little regretful. If he doesn't come, the clothes have been left here for such a long time, how can she return them to him?

"Sister Fan?" When Qiu Yingying came out of the room, she saw Fan Shengmei who was dressed up and looking in the mirror. "Are you going on a date with Lawyer Cao again?"

Ever since Fan Shengmei met Cao Qi for the second time, she told the girls on the 22nd floor about Andy's introduction of a blind date.Everyone was quite surprised when they heard it, but they were still happy for Fan Shengmei.It's just that Cao Qi hasn't been introduced to everyone yet.Guan Juer said that at the time, but Fan Shengmei didn't want Cao Qi to show his face in front of the girl on the 22nd floor too early. After all, for Fan Shengmei, if she really introduced Cao Qi to everyone, it would be a disguised admission that Cao Qi was her boyfriend.

On this point, Cao Qi and she both agreed and agreed.

When the two sides have not reached a consensus, they feel that if they get along without getting married, then everything will be done slowly, step by step, and solid.

They are all at this age, and they are stable.

But counting, Fan Shengmei has been getting along with this Cao Qi for almost a month plus tonight.

"Yes." As he said, he stepped forward to gently pinch Qiu Yingying's soft cheeks, and smiled brightly, "My cute little earthworm, do you think my sister is beautiful today?"

Qiu Yingying nodded vigorously with her eyes wide open.

Fan Shengmei opened her hands lightly, and then looked into the mirror to arrange the slender silk scarf on her neck that was connected to her jacket. Looking at her long hair, "Where's your curly hair?"

That Qiu Yingying covered her face, not paying attention to Fan Shengmei's tangled hair, but staring at Fan Shengmei's slightly lowered chest.

"Wow, Sister Fan... Isn't your dress a bit sexy?" His eyes were fixed on Fan Shengmei's fair chest.

Fan Shengmei turned around when she heard the words, "Is it sexy?" Seeing that the V-neck is not too open, and the low is not very low, she doesn't think it is very low, "It's okay, what do you think?"

Hearing what she said, Qiu Yingying hesitated again, and thought for a while, "Well, it's okay." It shouldn't be too sexy.

Fan Shengmei didn't care when she heard it, but the hair was tied at the back of her head with a hair tie in the end.Finally, she tidied up the black leather skirt with hips and picked up the bag.

"Okay, that's it."

Qiu Yingying stared at her rare wearing a skirt above the knee, and her white thighs.It's so white!

Fan Shengmei saw Qiu Yingying staring at her all the time, "What's wrong?"

Qiu Yingying opened the door, blinked, "It seems to be the first time I see you wearing such a short skirt." She also poked the direction of her leg with her finger.

When Fan Shengmei heard this, she pulled the bottom of the skirt with one hand, pulled it off, and smiled, "This is a hakama."

Sure enough, the corners of the skirt were a few centimeters shorter than the outer layer.Qiu Yingying nodded as if she was dumbfounded, "Oh..."

Fan Shengmei pointed Qiu Yingying's nose, "Little fool, my sister is on a date."

Cao Qi made the decision tonight, saying that a friend opened a new restaurant and asked him to try it.Cao Qi said the address to be seated, Fan Shengmei blinked, the location of the restaurant sounds quite expensive.

It seems that they are not ordinary friends, so the restaurant is not an ordinary restaurant.

"You don't have to worry, just say hello, we will eat our food." Fan Shengmei explained that she would feel uncomfortable hearing that it was a friend's restaurant.

Cao Qi opened the door for her, saw her leaning over to get out of the car, silently turned away her eyes, not looking at the gully exposed in the center of her chest.He was relieved when Fan Shengmei stood up straight and became less conspicuous.Cao Qi bowed his arms to signal, Fan Shengmei was taken aback, put his hand in the crook of that arm lightly with a smile on his face, and the two of them went to the restaurant door together.

The decoration of the restaurant's entrance is very simple and simple, and there are many flowers placed at the entrance because of the new opening.Looking at the colors, it seems that some elegant ones have been deliberately chosen, and it looks lively, but it is not festive.

The door is big enough and looks quite comfortable.

The two then entered the restaurant.

At this time, it was the peak of dining, and there were not many tables left in the restaurant.

Andy was finishing his drink and holding the menu and was about to ask what dishes he could recommend. He didn't want to look up and see the person opposite him looking forward for a moment, his expression didn't seem very happy?

She was puzzled, put down the menu and looked over, but she didn't want to see a man and a woman who surprised her.

Xiao Fan and Lawyer Cao?

Look back again.The person on the opposite side was already normal, but Andy always felt that it was a bit strange wherever he looked.But he didn't care about it at the moment, and raised his hand and waved towards the door.

"Xiao Fan."

Not long after Fan Shengmei entered the house, Cao Qi said that he had reserved a seat in advance, so he walked in the designated direction, but unexpectedly, he ran into an acquaintance.

Andy?

Fan Shengmei was surprised, and then glanced at the other person at the same table as Andy.

It was Tan Zongming.

"Huh? Andy and Mr. Tan?" Cao Qi was also surprised, he didn't expect to meet these two people.What a coincidence to think about it.

The two went up to say hello.

"Are you coming to eat?" Fan Shengmei asked Andy with a slight nod towards Tan Zongming.Cao Qi on the side also greeted Andy and the others, and they seemed to be quite familiar with each other.

"Old Tan's friend said he came to try the new restaurant. He knew I like Chinese food and brought me here. I didn't expect to meet you." Andy looked at Fan Shengmei's fashionable and delicate dress, standing in the elegant Attorney Cao's side, also arm in arm, very suitable.

"Cao Qi said that a friend just opened it, so I came to celebrate." Fan Shengmei looked at the restaurant environment, "It looks pretty good."

Andy smiled, looked at the two of them for a while, then looked at Lao Tan again, "Do you have a seat?"

"It is said that there is a place ahead. I was going there just now, and I happened to see you."

Andy nodded, and said, "If it's convenient, are you together? Of course, if you need a little privacy to talk about a relationship or something, Lao Tan and I won't bother you." Naughty.

Tan Zongming didn't respond to the menu, but he didn't object.

It was Fan Shengmei who heard the words and Cao Qi looked at each other, Cao Qi raised an eyebrow at Fan Shengmei, with a look of "I can do whatever you want".From the perspective of others, it seems a bit tacit and sweet.

Fan Shengmei saw that Cao Qi had no objection, and it was hard to refuse because of Andy.Gladly nodded to accept.

"Okay." He said, taking off the bag on his shoulder and putting it on his lap.

Watching Fan Shengmei sit down opposite him, Tan Zongming asked the waiter for an extra menu with his usual peace.

While waiting for the food, the four chatted about some irrelevant and innocuous topics.Most of them are delicious restaurants and fun places nearby.Occasionally talk about the decoration of this newly opened shop.

"Want to drink?" Andy looked at Fan Shengmei and Cao Qi.

Fan Shengmei shook her head and refused, "No need, just serve me a glass of juice. Cao Qi can't help but drive for a while, it's probably the same as me." After so many dates, Cao Qi has always had a glass of juice.

Cao Qi shrugged and smiled.It means what Fan Shengmei said.

Andy nodded without saying much, and asked the waiter to serve four glasses of juice.

The food was served quite quickly, and the four of them chatted without saying a word.Fan Shengmei mostly ate in silence, and so did Andy, but the remaining two men talked a lot.

Cao Qi had heard of Tan Zongming's name very early on, he was a well-known figure in Shanghai's financial circle.I've met him a few times before, and it's considered an acquaintance, but now we're eating and chatting at the same table, it really makes him feel that this man is not simple.In the end, she didn't pay attention to Fan Shengmei, but gradually talked more with Tan Zongming.

Tan Zongming, on the other hand, secretly compared Cao Qi's words and deeds, but his expression did not fluctuate at all.Only occasionally I caught glimpses of the turmeric figure and white skin in the corner of my eyes, slowly chewing meat in my mouth.

—————Boundary line—————

There were not many people on the table. After the dishes were served, apart from the intermittent chatter of the two men, Fan Shengmei and Andy were basically eating.

Andy was really hungry. He ate a meal from morning to night, and now he was starving to a table of delicious food.

As for Fan Shengmei.

I'm really hungry, but I can't talk about it.I can't even eat it anymore.She picks up the vegetables in the bowl bit by bit, her mood languishing.

The food here tastes good, but bland.It took a lot of thought to arrange the dishes. The colors of the dishes are very delicate, and the table setting is pleasing to the eye. The large and small plates are well arranged.

Fan Shengmei took a sip of the juice, put down her chopsticks and didn't want to move much.On the opposite side, Cao Qi pushed the small plate in front of her. There were a few crystal steamed dumplings in the plate.

It happened to be Fan Shengmei's favorite food at the table.

They were also the last ones left on the table. He just put them in the bowl early in the morning, and he hasn't eaten them until now.It seems that it was specially reserved for Fan Shengmei.

Fan Shengmei looked at the pink and tender steamed dumplings on the plate, and then at Cao Qi.There were not many steamed dumplings on a plate just now, and it was just one or two for each person to eat. Fan Shengmei liked the steamed dumplings, but it was hard for one person to eat them all.I didn't want to be noticed by Cao Qi.

She was quite moved.She pursed her lips and smiled at him, "Thank you." It was very helpful in my heart.

Pick up the chopsticks again.

Andy watched the interaction between the two of them, and saw Fan Xiaomei being taken care of by Lawyer Cao, and couldn't help laughing.After all, she recommended the matchmaking, if it works, she will be happier than anyone else.

And another person at the other end of the table.

The man sat quietly. He glanced at the plate of crystal steamed dumplings, and unconsciously glanced at the lips that were holding the dumplings. He took a sip of the juice and frowned and put it down.Then, don't take another look.

It's just that in the end, he seemed to lose interest in the dishes on this table, and even though he was not full, he lost his appetite.

There are not many dumplings, but eating in twos and threes with a glass of juice makes me full.So far, half of the dishes on the table have not been served.I don't know how much I ordered. I just remembered that there were many dishes listed, and I specifically asked that the quantity should not be too much, and try to taste as many as possible.

Fan Shengmei occasionally came with new dishes, picking up the ones she was interested in and taking a bite or two.But Andy eats vigorously. In comparison, she eats more than Fan Shengmei.

The dishes were only served mid-range, when Cao Qi's phone suddenly rang loudly.

Cao Qi frowned and took a look, then walked away with his mobile phone.

Fan Shengmei didn't pay much attention, she didn't want to, when Cao Qi came back, she said that she had something urgent to leave first.

Why so suddenly?

"It's okay, Xiaofan will go back with me in a while." Andy said.

After getting along for a month, Fan Shengmei can be considered to understand the profession of lawyers.Knowing that sometimes there is no way to do things in time, and besides, all walks of life have their own urgent times, so I didn't get entangled, and said to go back with Andy.

Cao Qi smiled apologetically at Fan Shengmei worriedly, and asked Andy again to deliver her safely.

Andy laughed, "Xiao Fan and I are neighbors, don't worry."

Cao Qi was taken aback for a moment before he remembered this.

She smiled embarrassedly at Fan Shengmei, and finally nodded at the other two, "Then I'll go first. Shengmei, I'll go first."

Fan Shengmei waved at him, looked at Cao Qi's back as he walked further and further away, and then looked away.
