Siheyuan: Starting with level 8 benchwork skills

Just as she finished speaking, she heard some noises outside the house, so she opened the door to check. She was surprised to see Qiu Yingying and Guan Jie'er standing in front of the door, whispering to each other.

"What are you two doing here?"

Qiu Yingying pointed at the monitoring system of 2201 and said, "Sister Mei, 2201 has been installed!"

Qiu Yingying, a 23-year-old new employee from a small city, is straightforward and innocent, acts rashly and often fails to correctly assess the situation.

“It looks like it can spin.”

Guan Jie'er commented that she is a 22-year-old intern at JoJo Investment, a Fortune company. She comes from a good family, behaves gently, and is elegant and quiet.

Fan Meisheng crossed his arms and was unhappy about this: "The ** is set up to prevent thieves, right? Who lives there?"

Guan Jieer replied: "According to Zheng ** from the property company, this person moved [too much sensitive content, cannot be further exported]

When the two sat down in the Xiaolongbao restaurant, the initial joy on their faces was no longer there.

Qiu Yingying chewed the last bite of the steamed bun while pondering, "Guan Guan, do you think we are living worse than when we were students? I earn 4,000 yuan a month, and after deducting the rent, basic living expenses and commuting expenses, and paying the training fee, my account is actually in deficit. If it weren't for my father's monthly support, I really can't imagine how I would live after get off work."

Guan Juer responded: "I do have such distress. Now I have to restrain myself even when I want to go shopping. I go to the mall like a tourist. The main reason is that my self-esteem is playing tricks on me after I start working. I am not willing to ask my parents for money anymore."

Qiu Yingying even sighed and said: "However, I am different from you. Your world-leading and well-known company with strict management can expect salary increases as long as you perform well.

Looking at myself, I have almost no idea about the future and can only pray that I can pass the CPA exam successfully. "

Guan Juer seemed a little frustrated: "We are all the same. The retention rate of new employees in our company is only 80%; and most of the new employees come from top universities. It is really difficult for people like me who are not from top universities to gain a foothold.

You know, the human resources department attaches great importance to academic qualifications, which represent wisdom and perseverance.

So I always feel like I’ve been labeled as lacking in wisdom and perseverance. Oh, I feel so stressed.”

At this time, Qiu Yingying comforted her: "Don't worry too much, it will be fine!"

After dinner, the couple, who were close in age, strolled on the pedestrian bridge. Qiu Yingying expressed her worries: "I've been eating a lot lately and I'm exhausted every day. Do you think I should go back to my hometown to develop? What future do I have in the city? I've been working like crazy for the whole year and only got the value of a two-square-meter house in a remote area. If I had taken a civil service exam in my hometown, I wouldn't have ended up like this."

Guan Juer tried to encourage Qiu Yingying: "Perhaps you should consider taking the civil service qualification exam?"

"Oh, forget it. My father would strongly oppose my going back to my hometown. He said that there is no future for children who go back home. He has always hoped that I can do well in the city, so he transferred 5,000 yuan to my card not long ago.

To be honest, as a young woman, I feel uncomfortable to be dependent on my parents at my age! It’s really embarrassing, but I don’t have the guts to refuse their support, for fear that I will really get used to it in the future. "

Guan Juer, who also felt uneasy, said: "I can understand that feeling. I couldn't even resist my mother buying me autumn clothes. But Yingying, you don't need to blame yourself too much. Your situation will change a lot after you pass the accounting professional certificate. Your salary will increase significantly!"

However, Qiu Yingying was not confident: "Passing the CPA exam is as difficult as thousands of troops trying to squeeze onto a narrow bridge, and with my ability, I'm afraid my hope is slim..."

For Guan Juer, who is clumsy in speaking, she knew in her heart that every word Qiu Yingying said was true, so she silently held Qiu Yingying's hand to show her firm support.

### twenty one ###

A new chapter unfolded by the courtyard Text 002 Hong Qiaoshu, whose previous life name was Qiao Erqiang, has lived in this world for several years. In order to commemorate the past years, he gave himself a new name - Hong Qiaoshu.

There is a similar idiom to this, but it is not so glorious: "Hong Qiao Shao Shu", which means those guys who break their promises; and he, Hong Qiao Shu, happens to be missing a word, and that missing part seems destined to belong to certain female characters in this world - their behavior is like burning test tubes and roasted chickens, which is both eye-catching and puzzling.

Hong Qiaoshu is the new landlord of the 2101st floor of the building. He owns two houses, 2103 and 2102, and has carried out a comprehensive renovation. He originally planned to purchase to include the entire floor, but unfortunately the owner is a couple who do not want to move out.

While waiting, Hong Qiaoshu noticed the girl who had just come in the elevator - Qiu Yingying. Her hand was sweaty with nervousness and she was tightly holding the hand of another girl, Guan Juer.

Guan Juer, who was wearing round-frame glasses, seemed to be unaccustomed to such scenes. She looked confused and even forgot to choose the elevator floor.

"Which floor are you going to?" Hong Qiaoshu asked, his eyes fixed on the two of them.

Qiu Yingying was shocked by the sudden voice, and she stammered what she was thinking, "Ah... My name is Qiu Yingying, I'm 24 now, unmarried and don't have a boyfriend. She is, this is, my good friend Guan Juer."

Faced with Qiu Yingying's innocent and funny reaction, Hong Qiaoshu couldn't help laughing, which made Qiu Yingying stare at him more like a fangirl. Guan Juer on the side could only pull her sleeve awkwardly and whispered in her ear: "Yingying, calm down, he is just asking us which floor we are going to, not your name!"

Guan Juer said slightly embarrassedly: "Sorry, my friend is a little...too straightforward. We live on the 22nd floor."

Hong Qiaoshu nodded and pressed the elevator floor button for them, then turned to face Guan Juer and extended a friendly hand: "Hello, Guan Juer**, I'm Hong Qiaoshu, the new owner of the 21st floor, nice to meet you."

"Hello, hello, hello!" Qiu Yingying awkwardly but sincerely extended her hand and shook it. This made Guan Juer feel a little embarrassed, and she could only cover her face with her hands.

Hong Qiaoshu was slightly surprised and shook his head helplessly, then waved the other person's hand that was tightly held and unwilling to let go: "Hello, Qiu Yingying **."

It was not until this time that Qiu Yingying reacted and let go of the other person's slender, white hand, which was even more delicate and slender than her own.

Hong Qiaoshu sighed helplessly. At first, he had no intention of becoming such a handsome man, but this world is full of people judging people by their appearance. If you have power, people will believe you no matter how ridiculous you say it.

Qiu Yingying seems to be a little taller than Guan Juer and has a fuller figure. She is an approachable girl.

Guan Juer has a gentle personality and performs well in all aspects. She is actually a little taller than Qiu Yingying, but she is too thin and petite; overall, she lacks a bit of grace. There is a humorous joke that explains "a girl with grace" like this: flat chest, few words, and an arrogant and indifferent look!

Guan Juer was dressed conservatively and looked very innocent with glasses, like a well-behaved girl next door.

Soon, they reached the 21st floor. Hong Qiaoshu said goodbye and returned to his apartment. There was no need to be too impatient when meeting someone for the first time. There would be plenty of opportunities to socialize in the future.

Qiu Yingying didn't wake up until she returned to her rented residence. She shouted excitedly: "Guan, Guan! We just met a handsome man, and I even shook his hand!"

Guan Juer, who was amused by these actions, replied: "Yes, yes, Yingying, I saw it all."

Qiu Yingying continued to read excitedly, "Guan Guan, what do you think of my performance? Was I too out of control? That boy is really great, handsome and tasteful, definitely a hundred times, or even a thousand times better than Director Bai in the company! He is simply my dream lover, and he happens to be our neighbor downstairs. Do you think I have the privilege of being close to him? I think I have fallen in love with him, what should I do?

Do you think I would be his type? Or maybe he would appreciate a mature and feminine type like Sister Fan? "

As these words came, there was a knock at the door.

"Boom boom boom!"

As soon as Guan Juer opened the door, she was greeted by a fairy-like little girl. She introduced herself with a smile: "Hello, I am Qu Xiaoxiao, the tenant of room 2203. We will become neighbors in the future, and I hope everyone can take care of each other. Since I just moved here, please help take care of me."

Qiu Yingying was very impressed by the girl in front of her and said enthusiastically, "Hi! My name is Qiu Yingying and her name is Guan Juer. We both live in room 2202. You can knock on the door if you need anything. Haven't eaten yet so late? Here are some desserts and milk tea we prepared. Do you want any?"

Qu Xiaoxiao generously replied, "Don't bother, we've already eaten." Then, she took out a gift box from behind her back and said, "But here is a small gift for you. This is something I brought back from abroad. Consider it a meeting gift."

"Thank you!"

"I won't bother you today. We can chat slowly some other time~" Qu Xiaoxiao handed over a box of chocolates and left quickly like a gust of wind.

"Okay, bye. You should also go to bed early."

Back inside, the two girls looked at the gift box, opened it immediately and tasted its contents. Qiu Yingying said in surprise, "What a delicious chocolate! In comparison, our donuts are no match for it."

Guan Juer used her mobile phone to search the Internet for the unknown name on the packaging box - Jean-Paul Hevin.

After seeing the search results, Qiu Yingying exclaimed, "Wow, this is a master-level chocolate! I want to have another piece."

Guan Juer stared at the content she was searching for while finding the chocolate box as if by visual induction and took out another piece to enjoy. By the time the two of them reacted, the chocolates had been cleared out.
