Fire Captain

Chapter 56 Ode to Joy 12

At the cocktail party, Fan Shengmei mainly went to eat and drink, while Andy greeted people she knew. Apart from that, the two of them were together the whole time. The rate of people turning around to look at the two beauties together is not just one plus one equals two, it is definitely doubled.

"Andy!" Fan Shengmei and Andy turned around at the same time.

Andy said, "Hey, Lao Tan! Didn't you say you wouldn't come? Otherwise, I wouldn't have to make the trip."

Tan Zongming said, "I knew you didn't want to come. I came here after finishing my work. If you find it noisy, you can just show up for a while and go back." After that, he saw Fan Shengmei and said, "Wow, you even brought a bodyguard with you? He's better than me!"

Andy smiled and turned to Fan Shengmei and said, "Let me introduce you. This is Tan Zongming, Old Tan. This is Fan Shengmei, my neighbor, the wife of Old Bai whom you met last time."

Fan Shengmei smiled and greeted Tan Zongming, "Mr. Tan."

Tan Zongming also smiled and said, "Hello, I haven't had a chance to thank you for taking care of Andy."

Fan Shengmei said: "Andy is also my good friend, we take care of each other."

As the three were talking, there was another commotion at the entrance. Andy turned around and saw a man dressed in fancy clothes. He couldn't help but ask, "Who is that man?"

After seeing it, Tan Zongming said, "That guy, Mr. Bao from the Bao Group, is the one you refused to bring along before." Seeing Andy staring at Mr. Bao intently, he couldn't help but tease, "What's the matter? Are you attracted to him?"

Fan Shengmei also looked over, then pulled Andy aside and said, "Wow, so handsome! Andy, if you like this, I support you."

Andy looked at Tan Zongming and Fan Shengmei helplessly and said, "Don't joke with me like that... I just wonder who would come in so pretentiously..."

This means that Cao Cao and Meng De have arrived. Before the three of them finished speaking, a fragrance filled their noses and a deep voice came: "I was wondering why I couldn't find you? You came here to hide away."

Tan Zongming said a few polite words and the two shook hands.

Fan Shengmei showed no emotion on her face. She leaned close to Andy's ear and whispered excitedly, "Your voice is so nice! So handsome! Andy, go for it!"

Andy looked at Fan Shengmei strangely, with a look of surprise and admiration in his eyes. If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, just looking at Fan Shengmei's serious expression, he would have thought she was talking about some national affairs.

Mr. Bao looked at Andy and said, "Who is this?"

Tan Zongming introduced: "Come, let me introduce you, this is Bao Yifan, the young boss of Bao's company. This is Andy, the chief financial officer of our group, and this is Andy's friend Fan Shengmei!"

General Manager Bao Yifan said to Andy with an admiring expression: "Andy, I always hear President Tan mention you. I thought you were older and more experienced than me. I didn't expect you to be so young and beautiful." Then he handed over a business card.

Andy didn't take the business card either. She turned her head and looked away and said, "I'm not young anymore, nor am I a beauty. Mr. Tan is right. I think I'm older and more capable than you. You're welcome."

Bao Yifan's expression remained unchanged, not minding Andy's words at all. He did not take back the business card handed over, still holding it up and said, "Nice to meet you. Here's my business card."

After Andy took the business card, the person handed one to Fan Shengmei. Fan Shengmei took it and said with a smile: "Thank you, but I don't have a business card."

Bao Yifan smiled but didn't say anything. Andy said, "Sorry, I didn't bring my business card... Mr. Tan, it's almost time, so I'll leave first."

Tan Zongming nodded and said, "Be careful on the road."

After the two of them went out and just got in the car, they were almost startled when they looked up. Bao Yifan appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of Andy's car. After showing off his handsomeness for a while, he walked to Andy's car window and knocked gently. Andy and Fan Shengmei looked at each other and were dumbfounded by Bao Yifan's actions.

Andy rolled down the window, and Bao Yifan handed over another business card and said, "Another business card of mine."

After Andy took it, Bao Yifan leaned over and looked inside the car and said, "Would you like to go have a cup of coffee? It's too early to go home now."

Andy opened his mouth and finally said helplessly: "Uh... It's not very convenient. I have to sort out two reports when I go back." After that, he closed the car window and drove away.

Fan Shengmei had been trying very hard to hold back her laughter before, but after the car started, she couldn't help but burst into laughter. She wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Oh my god, I'm dying of laughter, this idiot."

After driving for a while, Andy suddenly said, "It seems like there's a car following us."

Fan Shengmei laughed enough, took a breath, looked back and said: "Hey, isn't that the idiot just now!"

Andy looked at him strangely, then stopped the car on the side of the road, unbuckled her seat belt and was about to get out. Fan Shengmei quickly grabbed her and said, "Andy, you're not going to hit anyone, are you?"

Andy was stunned and smiled: "What are you thinking about? I'm going to talk to him clearly." Then he opened the car door and walked towards the car behind.

Fan Shengmei was leaning against the car window and eavesdropping blatantly.

When Andy met Bao Yifan, he said before Bao Yifan started his speech, "The human body's basal body temperature is 37 degrees. The actual outdoor temperature is 15 degrees, which means the temperature difference is 22 degrees. The human fat layer lacks the collagen and elastin that are unique to Arctic creatures, so the insulation effect is not good. Heat conduction and heat convection are proportional to the temperature difference. The greater the temperature difference per unit time and per unit heat dissipation area, the faster the heat dissipation area. I conservatively estimate that I have about five minutes. It's 9:17 now, and there are still 4 minutes and 30 seconds. In addition, I have memorized another phone number of Mr. Bao."

Fan Shengmei was in awe at the speed of the words. The speed of her speech could catch up with the machine gun in her hand. Fortunately, Bao Yifan was not stupid. He understood what Andy meant and smiled, "It's a bit cold. Don't worry, I won't take up too much of your time. I just want to make an appointment with you to discuss work. I will be in Shanghai for the next three days."

Andy nodded and said, "Ok, I can ask my secretary to call you tomorrow to make an appointment, but I don't know which phone number I should ask her to call?"

Bao Yifan smiled awkwardly and said, "Call... the number on my first business card. Sorry to have wasted your time. Nice to meet you today." After saying that, he stretched out his hand to shake hands with Andy.

Andy didn't even look at him and just said, "Me too." Then he turned and left immediately.

Bao Yifan was stunned for a moment, then withdrew his hand and waved it.

Fan Shengmei watched the whole process, and when Andy sat in the car and started, she suddenly burst into laughter, almost scaring Andy, and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Fan Shengmei said: "Andy, you know what? You were so cute just now! Haha..."

Andy said proudly, "I shocked him."

Fan Shengmei laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. She rubbed her stomach and nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, I'm shocked."

Andy said: "This person is insincere and dishonest. We can't even be friends with him."

Fan Shengmei said, "That's not the case. He just used the wrong method to deal with you... No wonder men don't like strong women like you. Strong women make them lose all their prestige. But I still want to say... Mr. Xiaobao, please consider it."

Andy didn't take it seriously and just laughed off the joke.

When Bai Ziyang was leading the team in training, he suddenly received a call from the police station of the Aiguo Community in Nantong City, which is the community where Fan Shengmei lives.

"Old Bai, something happened to Xiao Fan's family!"

This person is a fellow villager that Bai Ziyang and Fan Shengmei met when they were new recruits. He is from Nantong and was assigned to the police station after completing his major. Bai Ziyang had asked him to inform him as soon as there was any news about Fan Shengmei's family.

The next day during training, Bai Ziyang suddenly said, "Fan Shengmei, your second row is not good enough. How come you only got second place in this competition?"

Fan Shengmei was already very depressed because her second platoon lost to Bai Ziyang's platoon yesterday, but Bai Ziyang tried to provoke her. She ignored Bai Ziyang and said to the soldiers in front of her, "Listen to what Instructor Bai said. Aren't you ashamed? Go to Sheshan for closed training tomorrow. If you don't perform well, you will stay in the mountains and become savages."

Bai Ziyang whistled and said, "Then let's go to closed training tomorrow." After saying that, he walked away with a look on his face that asked for a beating.

The next day, Bai Ziyang led a platoon into the mountains for a day's training, and then drove to the downstairs of Fan Shengmei's home in Nantong at night.

"Class one will follow me upstairs, classes two and three will get off the bus and line up!"

"Yes!"

When Fan Shengmei's elder brother was at work, he got into a fight with someone and broke his skin and bled. Someone in the other person's family worked in the hospital, so he moved to the hospital. Seeing that there was no powerful person in Fan Shengjie's family, he planned to extort some money. Unfortunately, Fan Shengjie was already quite old before he got married and had a son. The family of five squeezed into a small house of 50 to 60 square meters at Fan Shengmei's parents' house, relying on the retirement salary of Fan's father and the living expenses sent back by Fan Shengmei to make a living. Fan Shengjie's work was basically not long-term, and the little money he earned was only enough for him to smoke, and he could not afford to give extra money to his family, which made the injured family members stay at home every day, serving him food and drinks.

That's why they were desperate to find Fan Shengmei. Unfortunately, is it that easy to find Fan Shengmei? The household registration file was no longer at home. The only military academy they knew about had been graduated for many years. After joining the army, Fan Shengmei was transferred to several military districts and departments. Later, when she was in the field army, her address was gone. No matter which of these places they took out, it would be impossible for Fan's family to find it.

The family that was beaten had also been staying at the Fan family for several days. After looking around, it seemed that only their house was worth some money. They had been forcing the Fan family to sell the house. The Fan family was not stupid. If the house was sold, where would the old and young of the family live? They would not give in even if they were dying.

The family that was beaten was eating their meals that night, with the Fan family "serving" them nearby. Suddenly, they heard a bang, and the already dilapidated door was kicked open from the outside. A group of people wearing camouflage uniforms, with oil paint on their faces, fully armed and carrying guns, suddenly broke in.

Everyone in the house was dumbfounded, especially the three debt collectors, who were at best street thugs who had never held a knife, let alone a gun.

Bai Ziyang, who was walking behind, came on stage last. He walked into the house, looked around, took off his helmet, walked up to Fan Shengjie and said, "My dear brother-in-law, do you still recognize me?"
