Ode to Joy clearly loves you

It was about seven o'clock.

"We're here." Fan Shengmei and Qiu Yingying, who had traveled a long way, came back. Guan Juer was hurrying to catch up with the work in hand, and finally came back. "Is there anything I can do to help?" They can't help with cooking , They can still do some things like eating hot pot.

"It smells so good." Guan Juer smelled it.

"Xiaomei, prepare the smokeless charcoal for the copper pot; Yingying, set the table; Guanguan, go downstairs and choose a bottle of 86 Lafite." Ming Zhen got up and walked to a cabinet, rummaging through Out of a set of wine sets, "Let's drink with this today, and also enjoy a 'wine wine luminous glass'." There is a room on the 20th floor that is a special wine storage room. According to the standard configuration of wine storage, it is her personal wine embarrassment; she took out a set of bright emerald wine glasses.

"Okay." Everyone followed her orders.

Finally they sat down at the table.

Ming Zhen put on thick cotton gloves and took off the lid of the copper pot, the steaming double-layered copper pot was already opened.The bottom is a red spicy pot, and the top is a white fresh soup pot with mushrooms inside.

Guan Guan carefully poured the fine wine from the decanter into a small jade cup.

Even if Andy is so well-informed, he couldn't help but pick up the wine glass and look carefully at the beauty evoked by the emerald green and deep red, "Where did you get this set of glasses? It's so beautiful, is it jade?" When you look at it, you can see the red of the wine in the green wine glass. This kind of bright red and green is really beautiful.

"In [-]s, my little great-grandfather's subordinates gave it to my great-grandfather as a gift. Our family took it with us when we went to the United States, and I brought it back when I returned to China." Several times, "I really don't know what material it is."

Fan Shengmei also held up the cup and looked at it, "Even if it is not the best jade, it will not be a vulgar product. Looking at the light transmittance, the name of the Luminous Cup is not for nothing."

"Sister Fan, don't look at the cup, let's eat some meat, this mutton is delicious." Qiu Yingying loves this mutton the most.

"Is it delicious? She called a friend in Inner Mongolia early in the morning to get it from a herdsman's house." Fan Shengmei heard the call, "I don't care. I will be a VVIP at the house between you and President Tan in the future." Picking up the lemon Squeeze the juice over the oysters and swallow them raw.

Ming Zhen ignored her, but took apart the cooked mantis shrimp and put them in Andy's bowl.

"Thank you, I really like this, Pippi Shrimp." She had eaten this when she went out to eat with Wei Wei, and she thought it was a strange title. "But it's really hard to peel, Min, how did you peel it just now, wait Teach me." As he spoke, he put the raw shrimp into the fresh soup and scalded it.

Ming Zhen put the boiled scallops into a bowl, "Teach me, teach me, I will open a cooking class for Ming Zhen this Saturday. Those who want to participate are encouraged to sign up."

Fan Shengmei took a sip of her wine and looked at Andy, "Huh? It's not because of Andy that the class is taught. Andy, maybe it's because of Brother Wei, wash your hands and make soup."

Andy admired Fan Shengmei's sharpness, and generously admitted that "going out to eat at a restaurant is too troublesome, time-consuming and uncomfortable, and we are not like Lao Tan and Min who can go to private clubs with strong privacy every time. You can meet acquaintances, and you have to go to say hello to them, and you have to drink two glasses of wine with them, so it’s better to be at home, relaxed, simple, and at ease.”

"If you want to do it, go to the room on the 19th floor." Ming Zhen thought of something. "If you want to cook for him, let me know in advance. I'll let someone prepare it, and you can use it there."

Andy was startled, and then said "Okay." Knowing that Ming Zhen was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable going to Wei Wei's place, "Well, I don't have any cooking skills at all, so you can't teach me too complicated dishes, it should be simple and easy to learn. "

"It's relatively easy to cook porridge and soup, but cooking is really difficult. Sometimes my mother can only cook some ordinary home-cooked dishes in the kitchen for an hour or two." The method taught by Zhen is always cleaner than Andy's. "If you want to do something more complicated, you will have to spend a morning in the kitchen."

"Actually, the time-consuming process is not the process of cooking, but the process of preparing the ingredients." Fan Shengmei fished out the abalone. It's suitable for beginners, that is, Zhenzhen doesn't mind the trouble, and cooks a big table of delicious dishes for us every day; Zhenzhen really loves us." Facing her, she pouted and kissed her from the air.

"It's great. I have Chef Ming by my side. It's not a problem to be complicated or simple, but the luckiest one is Lao Tan. I really don't know what good thing he did to be so lucky." Andy caught it mutton.

Ming Zhen took a sip of wine, "Actually, I haven't cooked any formal dishes for him until now, I always feel like it's not time yet, I'm not in a hurry."

"That's right." Qiu Yingying, who was eating happily, suddenly put down her chopsticks, and said loudly, "Andy, Zhenzhen, I have learned a lesson from blood and tears, and I must tell you. If you want to be too nice to a man, you You can’t show it if you think so in your heart, treat him bit by bit like squeezing toothpaste.” Qiu Yingying said righteously, “Otherwise men will get bored with you, hate you, look down on you, and leave you in the end!”

The other four looked at her.

Qiu Yingying felt that gaze, and immediately looked at Fan Shengmei beside her, "Sister Fan told me these things before."

Everyone chuckled.

"I know you are all thinking that yours must be a special case, but I want to tell you that special cases are rare, and those who are not special cases are the vast majority." Qiu Yingying suddenly remembered after speaking, "But you must not Tell Mr. Tan and Brother Wei, otherwise they won't bring me with them next time they treat guests to dinner." He urged anxiously.

Everyone couldn't help laughing because of her cuteness and straightforwardness.

"Xiaoqiu, you are so cute." Andy gave positive praise "Thank you for sharing so much with me, but I think it's not a bad thing to show your feelings uncontrollably. If you really like someone, you can't let go To love him, that feeling will be greatly reduced."

"That's why I hate the love that is for the benefit of the family or the company, too many calculations, and superficial sweet talk." Ming Zhen has also seen it before, putting an abalone into Fan Sheng's beautiful bowl "Even hurting each other in the end, just imagine The scene of two people who were once close to each other for their own interests in the end is too scary; so I told my parents from the beginning that I will never give up on my feelings!"

Andy agrees with Ming Zhen's words, "Yes, this can't be settled, being with someone I don't love is a kind of torture for myself and for the other person."

"It also depends on whether you value the ending or the process in love." Fan Shengmei has her own ideas, "In other words, do you want forever or have it once."

Andy thought for a while, "If possible, I certainly hope it will last forever, but there must be a prerequisite for eternal love, that is true love; if it is just careless, half-hearted, or even false love as Min said, I would rather not have it." Look at all of them "In fact, being single is not sad."

"Yeah." Guan Guan echoed, "Aren't we all very happy together? We don't have to have a boyfriend. We can do many things together, such as eating, watching movies, doing yoga together, doing beauty treatments together, and drinking together. Afternoon tea, sip coffee, play video games, and we can go for a drive together."

Andy also agrees with Guan Juer's echo, "If the other party has any bad thoughts because of this, I will break up rationally, which is better than being entangled forever."

"The definition of true love is actually different for everyone. I can't comment on whether the relationship you encounter is true love, but there are many people in this world who are crazy about love, because they may not be able to see through whether the other person is really suitable for them when they are sweet. Xiao At that time, Qiu didn't think that Director Bai was good at everything." Ming Zhen said lightly, "I don't want you to be hurt in any way, so my advice is to be bold and be careful. You don't have to be calculating when you are in love. But also pay attention to small details, his eyes and movements can actually tell whether he really loves you."

"Zhenzhen is right. I saw that the white scumbag was fine before, and all I thought of was him. But then Zhenzhen told me that the last time he came to eat, he could tell from many actions that he was not at all. It's a scumbag." Qiu Yingying ate the meat, "I didn't see it at all, it was because I invested too much at the time, hey, now that I think about it, I really despise myself at that time."

"Why do you despise? You shouldn't despise when you give love." Ming Zhen taught Andy to disassemble the shrimp. "I think every relationship is a life experience. You can get joy and happiness from it, good or bad; of course If you can meet the right person at the right time, you will be with him for the rest of your life, which is naturally good, but if it’s just for a while, you shouldn’t despise yourself, because it’s his loss not yours to miss you, you leave The purpose of leaving the scumbag is to meet a better one in the future; Yingying, you see that you were unhappy because of that relationship, but you found a job you like because of it, and you also saw that we are always by your side, isn’t it? Isn't it important?"

"You mean we shouldn't reduce our emotional investment, and we don't have to avoid emotions." Andy finally knew how to deal with this hard-to-peel shrimp. "Don't be afraid of emotions."

"I don't agree with Zhen Zhen's statement. The more you give in love, the more hurt you will be. The saddest thing is how much you give. In fact, you have to resign yourself to fate. All the endings are when you meet the person you fall in love with. It was doomed in an instant." Fan Shengmei retorted with her own experience, "There is no way to control everything. If you want to use means, it is useless. Those are side effects and irrelevant."

The soup in the copper pot was still steaming.

"This doesn't conflict with what I said. If you can't control this person after you fall in love, then don't control it." Ming Zhen wiped her hands with a towel, "If you pay more, you will pay more, but in the end it is not certain whether the relationship will last forever." When you are in control, you should let go; this is the last investment for the other party, yourself, and even this relationship. If you feel wronged, tell yourself that this is the way to let yourself go."

"I understand. What you mean is to love each other, but when you really can't go on, let yourself go and leave this relationship with good memories." Andy understood what she meant, "That's right, But it’s not easy to do.”

"The greatest revenge is not dragging him to hell with him, but that I will live better without you." Ming Zhen spread her hands to signal Qiu Yingying, "Yingying did it for us, can we not do what she can do?"

Qiu Yingying raised her chest proudly, "That's right, it's him who missed me and lost me, not me at all! I will definitely find a better boyfriend in the future!"

Andy agreed, and raised his glass, "Then let's bless our respective existing or future relationships. I hope everyone finds the right person, or finds the one who is sincerely good to you."

"I love to hear that." Fan Shengmei raised her glass too, "Cheers!"

Everyone toasted together, pushing the atmosphere of the hot pot up again.

After this dinner,

Andy received a call from Wei Wei, and Ming Zhen was led to the 23rd floor by Tan Zongming's call.

Fan Shengmei and the others were left to wash the dishes.

"Either it is said that women become fools when they fall in love, and even a strong woman like Andy can wash her hands and make soup for Brother Wei." Fan Shengmei put on rubber gloves, "I really can't think of it."

Qiu Yingying is cleaning the table, "But I still envy Andy, I think that Wei always loves Andy sincerely, and Mr. Tan, when they were in the villa, they only looked at Andy and Zhenzhen, especially Mr. Tan, you guys Didn't realize it, when Qu Xiaoxiao teased him, he looked back at Qu Xiaoxiao coldly." After wiping, he walked back to the cooking table, "I think they are really lucky to meet someone who loves them so much, unlike What we met was not a scumbag, but a scumbag!"

"Brother Wei, I don't know, but that Boss Tan probably isn't that dedicated. A little guy like me knows something about his past." Fan Shengmei doesn't necessarily think so. Zhenzhen, that is really disgusting!"

"In that case, Zhenzhen will definitely not agree to associate with him." Guan Juer cleaned up the cooking table, "She is actually a bit of a clean freak. My mother said that a clean freak woman is even more so when it comes to relationships. She can accept people who have a past. Men, but definitely don't accept people who date several people at the same time."

"Yes, she has the capital." Fan Shengmei was envious.

Guan Juer thought for a while, "Actually, there is something I haven't told you all. I bumped into Sister Andy and Mr. Wei's netizen meeting, and Zhenzhen was also there; Mr. Wei invited Sister Andy to have dinner next to our company." , but I think that someone with the status of Mr. Wei invites you to dinner, and Zhenzhen is with him, how could he go to a place that I can afford?"

"That's right." Qiu Yingying also felt strange.

Fan Shengmei was silent.

"Do you think he's pretending to have no money?" Guan Juer came up with his own argument, "If that's the case, he's too scheming, and he's not good enough for Sister Andy."

"You're stupid, he pretended to have no money and still has Zhenzhen, you forgot, Zhenzhen has met him several times, and as far as Zhenzhen's family is concerned, I think the eight generations of Wei Wei's ancestors must have checked everything. Besides, Zhenzhen and Andy are so good, how can he pretend?" Fan Shengmei spoke now.

"I don't think so, I think it's because he has met Zhenzhen many times and knows that Zhenzhen can't tell people's merits, so he dared to do this." Guan Juer didn't think Fan Shengmei was right, "He did it on purpose."

"It's normal." Fan Shengmei spoke from Wei Wei's point of view, "For a rich man like him, who hasn't experienced a little bit of wind and rain, right; not all women are born with countless resources like Zhenzhen , It's natural for him to do this. A rich person like him has to hide a thing or two from ordinary friends. Did you see Zhenzhen told us how much money she makes a year? Let alone the first The netizen I met for the first time, Andy and Ming Zhen were not familiar with each other at that time, right? It's normal for him to have scruples."

"But he is also deceiving." Guan Juer went to help take out the bowl from Qingshuichi and put it into the dishwasher. No money, but pretending to be rich, can you understand why Mr. Wei can't forgive classmate Wang?"

When Fan Shengmei heard Wang Baichuan's name again, she couldn't help feeling guilty, "It's not the same, what's more, Wei Wei didn't pretend to have no money, Zhenzhen can tell if he has money or not; little girl, this 'yes' There's a difference between pretending you don't have it and pretending you don't have it, and when you're my age you'll realize how different it is."

Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying looked at each other, but did not respond to Fan Shengmei's sophistry.
