Siheyuan: Starting with level 8 benchwork skills

Several people took the elevator together and prepared to go downstairs to the underground parking lot to drive. On the way, Andy took the initiative to ask: "Since I grew up abroad, I am not very familiar with this place. I want to hear everyone's ideas. Steak? Do you have any other recommended dishes?"

Qiu Yingying stood next to Fan Shengmei and Hong Qiaoshu, still traumatized by the last elevator failure. At this time, Fan Shengmei answered frankly, "To be honest, my income is not high and my expenses are high. I have to save money for a while after a meal of fake Kobe steak. I plan to be frugal for a whole month. Don't take me to those high-consumption places."

"I've only been in this city for a short time." Hong Qiaoshu suggested, "Sister Fan, you've lived in this city for a long time, so you should know where the Chinese food is better. And Andy, who grew up abroad, should also taste the unique charm of our country's cuisine."

Andy agreed with this suggestion very much: "This is a great idea. When I was abroad in the past, I would often go to Chinatown to taste fried noodles or sweet and sour pork to recall the taste of my hometown. In fact, the real authentic Chinese cuisine is not the modified flavor of Chinatown. Now that we are back home, how can we keep thinking about steak?"

Fan Shengmei was extremely excited, and at this moment, she had already thought of a high-end restaurant away from the hustle and bustle. "I know a Chinese restaurant with an elegant environment. Let me recommend it to you. It has all kinds of well-known eight major cuisines. We can share the cost. By the way, Andy, can I borrow your sports car? Actually, I want to..."

Of course, Andy had no reason to refuse Fan Shengmei's small request.

When Andy and Hong Qiaoshu left by elevator and drove back, a Porsche 911 stopped in front of her and Fan Shengmei couldn't help but scream, "Wow, it's so luxurious! I can actually ride in a luxury sports car!"

The breeze was blowing, and Fan Shengmei naturally cherished this rare opportunity and asked Andy to open the car hood, and Andy was willing to let Fan Shengmei experience it. However, after driving for a while, Andy couldn't help asking: "It's strange, why do so many cars seem to be shining their headlights on my car tonight?"

"It's no secret. It must be because we were in the same car, which gave them an adrenaline rush. Look, they were following us."

Hearing her say this, Fan Shengmei was stunned: "It's very simple. The guys in that car obviously want to show that even though their car model is not as gorgeous as your sports car, their driving skills are much better than yours. They deliberately slowed down to try to attract our attention and get our attention."

"Haha, Sister Fan, you really are an experienced HR specialist. It's easy for you to see through people's minds."

"Of course, those guys are either stupid or really stupid. Look at the people sitting in the gray car next to you. There are probably four or five idiots trying to squeeze in between us!"

"Hahahahaha, my brain is full of water. I really think the way of expression in Chinese is very vivid and vivid. You are really an interesting person. I want to ask you a question later."

"Of course, anytime."

Although she heard that Andy, who was so smart, was not mocking her, Fan Shengmei still felt guilty. She humbly replied, "If I hadn't met these people, I would have forgotten that there is a thing called 'hormones' in the world!"

"A cat? Where is the cat?"

"Those guys with flashing headlights just now are all cats! Excited kittens! Oh!"

"You seem to be my spiritual mentor~" Andy couldn't help laughing after hearing Fan Shengmei's words. She didn't expect that Chinese could be used in such an interesting way.

As for the choice of restaurant, Fan Shengmei racked her brains and finally picked a high-end place where the waiter could park the car for her. Then, under everyone's gaze, she walked into the restaurant like a royal family.

This place was every bit as exclusive as enjoying a high-end beef dish, and she was willing to pay for it.

The two people's car arrived quickly, and they got off in advance, followed by Hong Qiaoshu.

Sure enough, this experience was awesome.

Instead of the men, two women, Fan Shengmei and Qiu Yingying, came in first. At this time, Hong Qiaoshu and Qiu Yingying had not yet walked out of the car, so they were not counted.

Fan Shengmei attracted everyone's attention, which made her look more dignified. However, she did not realize that some people's attention was actually on Andy.

Qiu Yingying, who arrived later, was a little embarrassed and approached Hong Qiaoshu, who handed the key to the waiter and followed Andy and the others into the venue. This was Qiu Yingying's first visit to such a high-end place, and she was very curious about the layout.

After Fan Shengmei entered the room, she happened to meet a senior manager whom she had known before. She asked him to go in first and wait for a while, and then she stopped to chat with him.

Andy was no stranger to such gatherings, but she was surprised that this usually low-key HR manager, Fan Shengmei, was quite clever.

After entering the dining area and sitting down, they unanimously entrusted the right to choose the dishes to Fan Shengmei, and each took out their mobile phones to check the news.

Andy logged onto a website he had frequented over the years and checked replies to personal emails he had sent that afternoon.

Fan Shengmei recalled that they had agreed in advance that each party would pay for their own expenses. After some consideration and deliberation, she naturally did not order dishes such as fried noodles or sweet and sour pork. Instead, she chose dishes that were within her financial budget and could highlight the standard of this dinner.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with the president, Mr. Zhang, Fan Shengmei gracefully took her leave when he enthusiastically suggested inviting her again. The president returned to his seat with a smile.

After finding her friends, Fan Shengmei joked, "Thanks to your luxury car, that old acquaintance ignored me in the past. But now he keeps speculating and asking me if I have changed jobs, haha..."

Andy was amused by his sincerity. "In fact, I borrowed this luxury car temporarily, so it can be said that everyone is relying on its glory. Most people lack the ability to make in-depth analysis and judgment, and always rely on these external signs to make judgments."

"That's true~"

While Hong Qiaoshu was taking Qiu Yingying to the bathroom and washing their hands, Fan Shengmei naturally avoided the discussion about human nature and turned to more interesting information to ask Andy, "By the way, you just said in the car that you wanted to ask me something, what is it about?"

On the other hand, Qiao Erqiang did not selfishly keep his mother's precious bracelet to himself. Instead, he gave it to Qiao Yicheng for safekeeping. He believed that Qiao Yicheng cared deeply about his mother, and the bracelet could give Qiao Yicheng some comfort in the form of a physical object.

After thinking for a while, he took out 400 yuan from the remaining 20 yuan and gave it to Qiao Yicheng to use for him to purchase books and necessary learning supplies.

As for future household expenses, he told Qiao Yicheng that he would bear the costs himself!

As for Qiao Zuwang, he was asked to entertain himself and no one (including the three women including Qiao Yicheng) was allowed to pay attention to Qiao Zuwang!

Despite this, Qiao Erqiang did not abandon him; he asked someone to push a flatbed truck to take him to the hospital for treatment, and used the remaining money Qiao Zuwang had to pay for the transportation and medical expenses.

In front of Sanli and Simei, Qiao Erqiang gave each of them two yuan. He believed that girls should buy things they like, and it would be beneficial rather than harmful for them to be properly well-off so that they would not be easily deceived.

What is more important is the spiritual nourishment. Qiao Erqiang gradually...well, that's not what I mean. He wants to teach them.

After handing over the money, Qiao Erqiang reminded them to make good use of it.

Sanli took the two yuan and smiled happily, showing her maturity and understanding: "Thank you, brother, I will use the money properly!"

When Simei found out that Qiao Yicheng got 20 yuan, she said disapprovingly: "Second brother, you are biased! Why can my brother get 20 yuan, while Sanli and I only have two coins!"

Hearing the little sister's **, Qiao Erqiang felt a little headache, so he comforted Simei: "You know, Simei. If I give you too much, I'm worried that others will snatch it away when you go out to play! You are still young and don't know that the outside world is full of bad people. I do this... well, to put it in a metaphor, it is to protect you, understand?"

You are still young, and it is not yet illegal! Don't break the law!

Although she agreed with her brother's point of view, Simei still insisted on refuting: "Well, you have a point, but not all boys have bad intentions. In other words, some boys who are good-looking must have good hearts!"

Qiao Erqiang was quite worried about Simei's obsession with handsome boys at this time, and felt that her intelligence needed to be improved.

"Simei, you are so superficial! You are too one-sided! No boy in the outside world is more handsome than me, Qiao Erqiang!"

So Simei carefully observed her brother's appearance, and finally showed a look of disdain: "Brother, you are too generous to admit it, forget it..."

Then, this young and eccentric little Simei shook her head, with a hint of pity for her brother and a sense of helplessness and hopelessness towards him. She seemed to think that her brother was hopeless and ugly in appearance and could not be called handsome.

“When I hear people criticizing my appearance, I feel sorry for their young eyes!”

Looking at her actions, Qiao Erqiang deliberately said: "Simei, you are just a talkative girl. Watch out! In the future, I will become a person with extraordinary appearance and untouchable. When the time comes, I will see how you will be so angry that you can't go back!"

In order to fulfill his wish, Qiao Erqiang secretly made up his mind to grow up to be tall and handsome with both quality, connotation and expertise, and become a truly outstanding young man!

It would be ideal if you can highlight one skill in particular!

In addition, Qiao Yicheng felt particularly happy because his upbringing and family environment never allowed him to rebel or be eccentric. But some things cannot be avoided by endurance! Over the years, facing the reality of the Qiao family, the young man has accumulated more and more resentment, resentment and anger. He has always supported the family to prevent it from breaking up and ensure that his younger brothers and sisters will not fall into trouble.
