Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1754 Ode to Joy + The First Half of My Life 18

Then, Qu Xiaoxiao and Fan Shengmei were summoned by Andy for a heart-to-heart talk.

Andy and Wei Wei had just had a little incident in the parking garage of Ode to Joy. After all, Wei Wei has the halo of Qi Dian, so Andy is quite willing to just make friends with him.

However, after Wei Wei had made his selections, he realized that Andy was not only rich and powerful but also didn't want his money. She could also bring him new connections and money. Moreover, Andy was beautiful and had an unexpectedly simple personality. So he truly felt that if he missed Andy, he would never find a better person to marry.

So after Wei Wei had been catering to Andy for a while and found that his relationship with Andy had gotten much closer, he tried to take things a step further. He very cunningly tried to hug Andy in the underground parking garage. After Andy pushed him away, he put on a show, successfully disrupting Andy's thoughts and making her fall into self-doubt and guilt.

After listening to Andy's account, Qu Xiaoxiao didn't think there was anything wrong with Wei Wei for the time being, but seeing Andy like this, she felt that something was not right. Suddenly, she remembered what her sister Qu Xinxin had said to Old Qu in the elevator when they first moved into Ode to Joy.

At this moment, she finally realized the seriousness of the situation. Contrary to her usual behavior, she showed no interest in watching the drama unfold and said seriously to Andy, "Andy, I object to you being with that President Wei!"

Andy and Fan Shengmei were both somewhat surprised. After all, given Qu Xiaoxiao's smooth-talking nature, it was impossible for her to say something so absolute and to adopt such a clear attitude.

Qu Xiaoxiao was a little unhappy that she was being looked down upon, but at this moment, Andy's safety was at stake, so she could only tell herself to remember this incident first, since Andy was still waiting for her explanation.

Qu Xiaoxiao said directly, "When I first moved here, my sister said something to my dad, the gist of which was that if my dad really loved me and cared about me, he should immediately find me a new place to live, or simply spend money to have someone repair all the facilities in the community. Just talking without doing anything is the same as saying nothing!"

"Based on what you just said, Andy, I only feel that Wei Wei is suspected of coercing you. He probably knows your background and thinks he can control you in some way. So now he is acting superior to you, and he even thinks that his little kindness to you is charity."

Andy found it rare to see Qu Xiaoxiao so serious, and couldn't help but laugh, "You deduced so much from my description just now?"

Qu Xiaoxiao wouldn't have it this time, and said coquettishly, "Andy~ I've put a lot of thought into this for you, and I'm being serious for once, how can you not take it seriously!"

Fan Shengmei certainly didn't think much of Wei Wei's appearance, but Wei Wei's other qualities were excellent. So, according to her opinion, Andy might be able to give it a try. After teasing Qu Xiaoxiao, she also expressed her opinion: "Andy, in my opinion, you and President Wei are a good match. More importantly, you have the same interests. There's no harm in getting to know each other better."

Qu Xiaoxiao understood Fan Shengmei's meaning, but at the same time felt that Wei Wei was nothing special, so she simply echoed, "Andy, if you want to try a relationship, then as long as you can make sure you don't get hurt, then you should try it boldly. Anyway, that's what life is all about. Be bold in trying, learning, and experiencing."

Qu Xiaoxiao spoke frankly and directly, and Andy felt a little envious of her, seeing that she seemed to be able to overcome any difficulty.

Andy herself couldn't be as frank and uninhibited as Qu Xiaoxiao, so it's understandable that she felt a slight envy towards Qu Xiaoxiao.

Under the influence of this subtle but clear sense of envy, Andy almost revealed her most important and most secret. However, just as she was about to speak, Qu Xiaoxiao interrupted her: "Andy, there are many ways to live life. Some, like my sister, focus solely on their own feelings and desires. Others, like me, live life as a game. Still others, like Qiu Yingying, are ignorant. And many more, like Guan Guan, work hard."

Andy couldn't help but laugh again. "Xiao Qu, I really didn't expect you to be able to say so many philosophical things. Maybe it's because you have someone like Xin Xin around you as a ready-made example?"

Watching Andy and Qu Xiaoxiao chatting and laughing, and even mentioning Qu Xinxin, Fan Shengmei felt utterly bored as she reflected on her own struggles over the years. She lost all interest in giving Andy advice. No matter how different Andy was from others, how much she disliked being touched, or how much she couldn't enter into an intimate relationship, was that really a flaw?

Andy is friends with tycoons like Tan Zongming, and she herself is quite wealthy. In fact, if she wanted to, her intellect could easily support many platonic relationships.

And what about her?

Her years of hard work in Shanghai should have seemed to be making a difference, but due to the burden of her family back home, she still doesn't have any decent savings. She even has to share an apartment with two recent graduates, and they can't afford a proper bedroom, so they can only rent a partitioned room!

Noticing that Qu Xiaoxiao's gaze lingered on her for a while longer, Fan Shengmei instantly became alert and even unconsciously became wary. "Xiao Qu, why are you looking at me like that?"

Qu Xiaoxiao could tell that Fan Shengmei was a little embarrassed and even avoided her. She didn't mind, because she had just thought of an idea, so she warmly invited Andy, Fan Shengmei, and Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying, who were not here today: "You know I went to work for my sister, right? Do you know what kind of company it is?"

Fan Shengmei quickly chimed in, "Haven't you bragged about this a lot? It's a film and television production company, right? I remember you even said you became a producer, so why do you need us to help you promote your company's work?"

Andy had absolutely no knowledge of film and television production and could only regretfully say, "I'm afraid I can only contribute a little to the ratings, and that's all I can do. You know, Shengxuan Group has its own publicity department, but it's not under my jurisdiction."

Qu Xiaoxiao wasn't bothered by the misunderstanding; in fact, she was even happier. "What I meant was, why don't you guys come visit our company or our film set? There are so many handsome men and beautiful women there!"

"Most importantly, they are mostly emotionally intelligent and have a pleasant way of speaking."

Andy was speechless: "I asked you to come and give me some advice, and you told me to go and experience it first, but now you're taking me straight to your company?"

Qu Xiaoxiao cried out that she was wronged: "Andy, I did this to tell you that it's nothing that you don't like physical contact with anyone. There are many quirks in the entertainment industry. Yours is too low-class and not presentable at all."
