Chapter 1751 Ode to Joy + First Half of Life 15
If it were Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer trying to persuade her like this before, Qiu Yingying would have refused outright. But today is different. Today, they met Tan Zongming, a powerful figure with a distant background.
Tan Zongming's blow to Qiu Yingying's idol, Manager Bai, was direct and fatal.
Originally, Qiu Yingying wasn't ambitious at all, but she couldn't resist Tan Zongming's initiative in appearing before her.
Tan Zongming is as handsome as a movie star, only slightly lacking in physique. This big shot is far superior to Manager Bai in terms of intelligence, wealth, and emotional intelligence. Originally, Qiu Yingying shouldn't have compared such a fictional character to Manager Bai in front of her, but as the saying goes, she saw him with her own eyes and even spoke to him, so such a comparison was unavoidable.
Unfortunately, everything about Manager Bai couldn't stand up to scrutiny.
And even if she doesn't unconsciously compare the two of them, do you think Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer would give up such a great opportunity?
I know that Qiu Yingying doesn't actually have any plans or ideas about buying a house and staying in Shanghai. Her current desire to stay in Shanghai is entirely due to her parents' indoctrination and support. She herself has no concept of this matter at all.
Fan Shengmei knew she couldn't persuade Yingying by suggesting she stay in Shanghai, so she said, "Yes, Yingying, you've already wasted almost two months' rent, and now you've developed other feelings for Manager Bai. It's best to separate from him now, otherwise what if he controls you and won't let you leave?"
Qiu Yingying was initially tempted by Guan Juer's suggestion, after all, the experience of the past few hours had been quite dreamlike. Tan Zongming chose a relatively low-key place, not a luxurious one, to accommodate everyone.
But even the most low-key place is relative to Tan Zongming himself, so Qiu Yingying only felt that she had gained a lot of knowledge and, in a daze, felt that she had seen the amazing side of Shanghai.
Because of her current state, she may never be able to see a more glamorous side of herself.
Qiu Yingying is certainly down-to-earth; unrealistic ambitions have never existed in her mind. Therefore, she always compares things that are immediately obvious: figure and appearance, manners and speech, as well as Tan Zongming's unconscious care and favoritism towards Andy.
Her unresolved issue with Manager Bai was that even though Tan Zongming was so busy, he could still take good care of Andy, while Manager Bai, her boyfriend, always put others before her.
Without a real comparison, she might have remained deceived by Manager Bai until the day she truly woke up. But now all the grievances she had accumulated over the years have erupted, leaving her no choice but to remain ignorant.
Fan Shengmei's words made Qiu Yingying reflexively want to refute that Manager Bai wasn't that kind of person, but she really didn't want to go back to face Manager Bai like that. So Fan Shengmei gritted her teeth, took Qiu Yingying's phone, and sent a message to Manager Bai in Qiu Yingying's voice, saying that it was getting late today and everyone was worried about her going back alone, so she would be going back to Joyful Ode for the time being.
Qiu Yingying was still hoping that Manager Bai would definitely come back to pick her up, but five minutes, ten minutes, and even half an hour passed, and Manager Bai still hadn't seen her message!
Qiu Yingying sat on the sofa, crying and asking Fan Shengmei why this was happening. Although Fan Shengmei felt sorry for her, she also felt that it was best to end this ambiguous relationship. So she refrained from comforting her and just kept telling Qiu Yingying to stop crying.
Guan Juer wanted to press her advantage and expose Bai Zha Nan's true colors, but Fan Shengmei stopped her with a look.
They had said enough before. Even though Qu Xiaoxiao was just looking forward to a good show, the things she found out about Bai Zha Nan's behavior were real and there was no false accusation.
They were all earnestly waiting for Qiu Yingying to turn over a new leaf, but the prodigal son never came back and even betrayed them, turning around and accusing a group of single women of being unable to bear seeing Qiu Yingying get out of singlehood and start dating.
So Andy completely stopped paying attention to Qiu Yingying's relationship status, and Qu Xiaoxiao was too lazy to investigate how many women Bai the scumbag was flirting with. Then she found out that Qiu Yingying had moved out and was living with someone else.
After Qiu Yingying had finished crying and started asking for help, Fan Shengmei said, "Yingying, relationships are very complicated, and we outsiders can't really understand what's going on between you two. But my advice is, if you can't figure it out right now, just put it aside and maybe you'll suddenly understand after a while."
Guan Juer found her direction again, giving a direct example: "It's like when we were doing problems before. There were some problems that we couldn't understand at the time, but after a while, maybe at some point, we suddenly figured it out."
Seeing Qiu Yingying deep in thought, Fan Shengmei continued to chime in, "Yeah, Yingying, you're still young, you have plenty of time, you can afford to waste it."
"Besides, there's a saying that 'absence makes the heart grow fonder.' You two are together all the time, and it's true that you might get tired of each other after a while. Tomorrow, we'll take advantage of the weekend to move your luggage back. Maybe you won't even have to stay for the last month before your relationship takes a new turn."
Qiu Yingying still couldn't completely give up on this relationship that no one believed in, but Fan Shengmei felt she had found a way to control her. As soon as Qiu Yingying nodded, Fan Shengmei simply made the decision: "I'll go with you to get your luggage tomorrow, preferably when your supervisor Bai isn't around. It's not that we have other ideas, but even though we only met once, we had a really bad time. If we start arguing again, it will look bad."
Qiu Yingying also felt that it would be best to bring Fan Shengmei over when Manager Bai was not there, since there were other people at Manager Bai's rented place, and if things got out of hand, it would indeed make people laugh.
And so, Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer finally managed to persuade Qiu Yingying to move back home temporarily after much effort. They felt that the matter of getting Qiu Yingying away from Manager Bai was in sight, and they slept well that night. When Fan Shengmei woke up early the next morning, she even felt that the dark circles and fine lines under her eyes that had been bothering her had disappeared!
Before Fan Shengmei could investigate anything, she saw Qiu Yingying finally perk up and run out of the room with the same energy as before. Fan Shengmei's heart immediately jumped, fearing that she would hear Qiu Yingying say that she had changed her mind and was not moving back.
Guan Juer was also worried that Qiu Yingying would change her mind, and she was watching Qiu Yingying's reaction with obvious nervousness. Qiu Yingying, who was so carefree, smiled and said loudly to everyone, "Sister Fan, Guan Guan, I think I slept really well last night, and I feel so much better when I woke up today!"
Fan Shengmei held her breath and tentatively said, "Then let's eat something good this morning, because we'll help you get your luggage back later."
Qiu Yingying frowned slightly, and the joy on her face vanished instantly. Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer's hearts were also hanging in the air as they anxiously awaited Qiu Yingying's next reaction.
