A woman like Ode to Joy

"How do I see that you seem to be thinner than last time? You have worked too hard." Xu Shi and the two had eaten together, and the old man's tone was very natural, concerned about Fan Shengmei's physical condition.

thin?

Fan Shengmei has been so busy recently that she doesn't have time to worry about her health, and she doesn't pay attention to the problem of obesity. The old man was taken aback when he said Fan Shengmei.

She didn't pay attention.

"Really? It's okay." Fan Shengmei pursed her lips and smiled, "Eat more."

The old man also urged her to eat, smiling.

Fan Shengmei didn't refuse, she silently picked up some rice with her chopsticks and chewed it in her mouth.Although I was hungry, my body was very contradictory. I was hungry but had no appetite. I had to chew a mouthful of rice for a long time before swallowing it.

"You are looking for me for something?" Fan Shengmei asked after swallowing the food in her mouth.

Mr. Tan has a very good appetite. Fan Shengmei only took two bites, and he has lost half of the bowl. Hearing Fan Shengmei's question, the corners of his mouth were curved. Looking at himself uncertainly, his attitude is much stranger than before.

The enthusiasm before was gone.

Mr. Tan met those big eyes, reached out and took a tissue from the side to wipe his mouth.

"Well, actually, it's not a big deal." Gently, he put down the tissue in his hand again, with some scrutiny in his eyes, and continued: "That's right, I want to ask you, when did you know that I am Zong Ming's grandfather?"

Fan Shengmei was taken aback.

I never thought that the other party would ask this question, but I don't know why he is asking her these questions now.Since the old man knows that she knows his identity, it should mean that he knows the relationship between her and Tan Zongming...

"That day, your grandson found out when he came to see you." Fan Shengmei told the truth, feeling a little nervous.

Mr. Tan was a little surprised, "The day I ate with you?"

Fan Shengmei nodded, yes.

Didn't Tan Zongming tell him?Besides, they broke up.No, I don’t know either.

"Did he not tell you?"

Mr. Tan shook his head, "No."

Fan Shengmei let out a silent oh, and smiled in her heart, probably there was no need to tell.

"You, is there anything else I can help you with?" She asked, if not, she would feel comfortable eating a staff meal.

Grandpa Tan smiled when he saw this, knowing that he made her uncomfortable, "I heard that you are in a relationship with my grandson?"

Fan Shengmei froze, the feeling of being scrutinized became more obvious, and she pursed her lips when she heard what the old man said.I wanted to organize my words to say something, but I couldn't resist the feeling of loneliness gushing from my heart.

"We've already broken up." Gan Gan cracked a smile, which fell into the eyes of Mr. Tan, as ugly as crying.

"You, did you hear what Mr. Tan said?"

The old man didn't answer this question, but frowned, wondering, "You and Zong Ming broke up?"

What Fan Shengmei got was an affirmative nod.

Why didn't that kid say... Bad boy, you told me half of what you said.

"Why did you break up?" The old man suddenly couldn't understand after thinking about it, "Could it be that you are interested in Mr. Tang in your hotel?"

Fan Shengmei was speechless, and smiled absurdly, "You think too much, if it's not suitable, let's break it up." How could Tang Qiu be involved...

Mr. Tan nodded, looking at Fan Shengmei's face, "Well, but, Mr. Tang has a very good relationship with you."

I don't know why the old man cares about this, Fan Shengmei is helpless, "I used to be a colleague and superior, so I will look for him if I don't understand anything, don't think too much about it."

The old man pouted secretly, didn't he?

Coincidentally, at this time Fan Shengmei's pager rang, urging her to deal with the matter quickly.Fan Shengmei was in a dilemma, so she replied "Received" and glanced at the old man.

Seeing that Mr. Tan didn't understand something, he waved her away.

Fan Shengmei breathed a sigh of relief, put down the bowl of rice that had barely moved, and left in a hurry.

He was called there for no reason, took two mouthfuls of food for no reason, and then fled in despair.

After leaving the 22nd floor, Fan Shengmei strode forward.

"What's wrong? What do you want me to do?" Fan Shengmei looked at the project.

Engineering shrugged, and pointed to Tang Qiu's office behind him, "Boss Tang is looking for you."

Fan Shengmei nodded and walked towards Tang Qiu's office.

"Oh, by the way, the meal is in the lounge, don't forget." Engineering smiled and entered the elevator.

"Okay, thank you!"

As he spoke, he stood in front of Tang Qiu's office door and knocked.

"Enter." The inside said humanely.

Only then did Fan Shengmei push the door open and enter.

Tang Qiu's office was always deserted, except that the people at the desk not far away were still buried in a pile of documents, and only looked up when they saw her walk in.

Pointing to the chair in front of him, "Sit."

Fan Shengmei sat down, not knowing what was wrong with him, "You are looking for me, what's the matter?"

Tang Qiu reached out and took a document from the side, "I was going to look for your supervisor, but they just happened to be out. Take a look at this. It's not busy in the afternoon. You just organized some people to go to the meeting room to have a look."

As he spoke, he handed the document to Fan Shengmei.

"Putting and pulling the miniature fire station?" Fan Shengmei frowned at the file name.

"Well, there's a USB flash drive inside, and there's a video. In the afternoon, organize your staff to watch it a few more times, and then practice it again. You should study with the engineering first." Tang Qiu bowed his head and continued working, leaving Fan Shengmei alone. Holding this folder at a loss.

"Ok."

fire drill?

Still have to practice...

Fan Shengmei really hadn't done this before. After watching it twice, she stood up hesitantly and planned to find a project.

"By the way, Shengmei." Tang Qiu suddenly stopped her.

Fan Shengmei turned to look at him questioningly, what's wrong?

Seemingly hesitant, Tang Qiu looked at her for a long time before saying, "Can you do me a favor?"

help?

Fan Shengmei blinked and nodded, "I can help, sure."

After receiving the answer, Tang Qiu pursed his lips almost invisibly, and said again: "The day after tomorrow, are you free? Hmm... I want to ask you to pick something for me. I'm not very good at it."

Seeing his hesitant appearance, he seemed to be really distressed, Fan Shengmei didn't think much about it, but just thought about the day after tomorrow, it seemed to be her rest day, it just happened to be the day when she got off work in the evening, and she had plenty of time.

"Okay, you are, picking gifts for others?"

Tang Qiu frowned at her sudden gossip, his eyes moved slightly, and he nodded at her recently slimmer figure.

"Are you free after get off work later? Let's have a meal together as a thank you gift and congratulations on becoming a full-time employee," he said.

Fan Shengmei didn't notice the slight swaying eyes of the other party, but Tang Qiu said that he wanted to invite her to dinner.

"Is it a return gift?"

Tang Qiu's usual indifferent face moved, and he nodded, "Yes, I don't know, do you appreciate it?"

Appreciation?

Fan Shengmei smiled suddenly when he heard his words, "Of course I should be rewarded, but it's rare for the boss to treat guests, so I have to give them a good meal."

Seeing her smile, Tang Qiu's eyes softened, "I have to be merciful."

—————Boundary line—————

Today is her last internship day, and also her last morning shift, and tomorrow will be the evening shift.

"How about the firefighting practice in the afternoon?" Tang Qiu asked after opening the car door for Fan Shengmei.

When talking about this, Fan Shengmei felt tired, "It's okay, I have a general understanding of the steps in general, and I have some understanding after practicing it. I need to be familiar with it and practice it a few more times."

In the afternoon, she was exhausted and her whole body was sweating. In the end, she had no choice but to borrow the bathroom in the staff dormitory to take a shower, otherwise her whole body would be sticky and she would really be unable to move.

"This is not a big problem. It's good to practice a few more times. Most key units in the country will conduct on-site fire drills, so everyone can only work hard. When the time comes, I will also have to play." Tang Qiu said.

"Huh? You want to play too?" Fan Shengmei was surprised.

Tang Qiu smiled slightly, "Of course, I will also play."

The man's face was clean and tidy, with a rare light smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, coupled with his usual cold demeanor, he was very charming.Fan Shengmei was stunned for a moment, never thought that he would laugh, but fortunately she still had concentration, so the reaction was not so obvious.

Leaning tiredly on the car seat, Fan Shengmei's eyes were half downcast, with tired brows, Tang Qiu had a panoramic view, especially the white clavicle that had become much thinner recently and looked more and more delicate.

But, it's really too thin...

It used to be plump, but now it is biased towards people's general aesthetics, thin.

Tang Qiu looked back indiscriminately, thinking of her hard work and fatigue in recent days, and the notice of passing the regularization submitted by Manager Lu, who praised her as the first lobby employee who became a regular within a month, and she was very hardworking.

so hard.

The depths of the eyes trembled slightly, seemingly calm, but faintly obscure.

This kind of Fan Shengmei is a little different from the ones he knew before. They used to work together, and Fan Shengmei was indeed very professional and hardworking, but she had never been like this before, which made him unable to think too much. Maybe it was because of other reasons, because A certain person, told her to fight hard and lose weight, to prove herself so hard...

As the boss, he didn't know whether to be happy or distressed.

Tang Qiu quietly looked at the road ahead, his mind spinning a thousand times, but his face was still very calm.

But Fan Shengmei, after the car turned into a familiar street, felt a strange feeling in her heart.

There are so many restaurants in Shanghai, it can’t be such a coincidence.

When the car stopped, Fan Shengmei stood at the door of the restaurant with only a helpless sigh in her heart.

No coincidence, no book!

The place Tang Qiu chose happened to be the one that Tan Zongming often brought her to, it was such a coincidence.

"You usually come here to eat?" Fan Shengmei asked.

Tang Qiu noticed the weirdness in her words, too?

His eyes fell on her face, his mind turned, and he already had an idea, "Come here once in a while, the food is pretty good."

With that said, the two had already walked into the restaurant.

Seeing Fan Shengmei, the waiter who came up to her face had a friendly smile on her lips, and a greeting immediately confirmed Tang Qiu's thoughts.

"Miss Fan, is it still the same place?"

old place……

In the past, she always came with Tan Zongming, and they always went to the same place. She came frequently and everyone knew each other.

It's just that things are different now.

Fan Shengmei felt a little helpless and embarrassed for a moment, she pursed her lips to calm down and shook her head, "Ah, no, we have other appointments." Wanting to clean up the embarrassing situation, she said, unconsciously looking at Tang Qiu for help.

Tang Qiu nodded with a pale face, "No need."

The waiter was puzzled at first, then put his eyes on Tang Qiu and nodded, "That's good."

He didn't say anything, seemed to understand something, and looked at the two of them again.

Without thinking about what the waiter would think, Fan Shengmei turned around first.

Tang Qiu and Fan Shengmei went all the way in without letting the waiter lead them, and turned a corner.

Fan Shengmei lowered her eyes silently, Tang Qiu looked at the front and didn't know what was going on in his mind, but his face was as calm as before.

It's just that the one just now seemed to poke a small hole in the natural atmosphere of the two of them, and there was something called silence in the air, which accompanied the two of them forward.

Fan Shengmei didn't know how to deal with the sudden bad mood, and after raising her eyes, she completely lost the idea and appetite for dinner.

"Miss Fan...?" the visitor asked.
