Chapter 103 The Unresolved Pursuit
Qiu Yingying said guiltily, "I've already passed one course, and I've been preparing for the other two basic courses for a long time, but I'm not confident! I want to try my best to pass these two courses this year, then take the junior accountant certificate exam, and find another company to work as an accountant or cashier." Qiu Yingying also felt that she couldn't stay at this company for more than two years, but she still needed to make do here until she found a better job.
Zhang Liangjun casually comforted him: "Yes, it's good to have ambition, but there's no need to rush. There's still a long road ahead."
"Brother Zhang, are you really a junior manager in your company?" Qiu Yingying didn't understand the concept of subtlety and asked directly.
Qu Xiaoxiao was amused. "He really is a junior leader!"
Qiu Yingying, oblivious to anything amiss, lowered her voice and said to Zhang Liangjun, "Then you need to tell the people in your company, whatever you do, don't sign a contract with our company. There are too many problems with the people here. They don't have enough production lines, so they outsource the manufacturing and labeling. Sometimes when the quality isn't up to standard, they bribe the quality inspectors to get it approved. In short, our company has too many flaws. Don't sign with us!"
Zhang Liangjun's lips curled up as well. "Okay, I got it. I'll go back and tell them this contract can't be signed! But for your sake, we can continue negotiating. We'll just keep them in suspense, right?"
"That's great! It won't be long, just another six months, and I'll pass the junior accountant exam and get a new accounting job. Then, I'll surprise all the company leaders!" Qiu Yingying's disappointment at Qu Xiaoxiao vanished, and she cheered up again. "Brother Zhang, stop talking and eat! I specially chose these dishes. I've eaten here countless times, but these are the only truly delicious ones!"
Qu Xiaoxiao glanced at Qiu Yingying, then at Zhang Liangjun, somewhat puzzled. Did Zhang Liangjun have such unique tastes?

Ode to Joy
Qiu Yingying excitedly hugged Guan Guan, "Guan Guan, do you know how handsome Brother Zhang looks when he eats! And he speaks so nicely too!"
"But Yingying, didn't you say that Brother Zhang brought a girl named Qu Xiaoxiao to dinner with him? Could she be his girlfriend?" Guan Juer was a secretly infatuated girl, but on the outside she seemed quite normal.
Qiu Yingying said with certainty, "Based on my observation, that should be his sister!"
Fan Shengmei happened to be passing by and hit Qiu Yingying with a dried pillow, "Wake up! You little worm! They don't even have the same surname, how could they be siblings!"
Qiu Yingying leaned down on Guan Juer's lap, resting her head on Guan Juer's thigh, "But I just don't feel like they're a couple."
Guan Juer was also concerned about this issue. "Yingying, why didn't you ask her back then?"
"I...I don't dare!" Qiu Yingying rolled over and buried her face in Guan Juer's stomach. "That Qu Xiaoxiao has too strong an aura, I'm a little scared!"
Fan Shengmei finished packing her clothes and came over to sit on the sofa. "I warned you a long time ago not to get involved! Besides, you can't handle Zhang Liangjun, little earthworm. You should find someone else to fall for!"
Qiu Yingying pressed her lips against Guan Juer's stomach, her voice slightly nasal, "Zhang-ge and I have nothing going on! And I think Zhang-ge is a really nice guy!"
Fan Shengmei would offer advice on things she disapproved of, such as Qiu Yingying's situation, but she wouldn't forcibly stop her. Years of experience in HR had made her worldly-wise. Seeing Qiu Yingying's reaction, she simply smiled and remained silent.
Just then, Fan Shengmei's phone rang. She picked it up and saw it was an unknown number, so she casually answered, "Hello?"
A deep, resonant male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiao Mei! This is Wang Baichuan!"
Fan Shengmei glanced at the two people lying and sitting on the sofa, whispered "bad signal," then got up, went to her room, closed the door, and continued her call with Wang Baichuan.
"Long time no see! How have you been lately...?"
Wang Baichuan was coming to Shanghai and arranged to meet Fan Shengmei over the phone. Fan Shengmei reminisced about her youth, recalling how Wang Baichuan had never hidden his feelings for her. Fan Shengmei used to look down on Wang Baichuan, but after hearing that he had started a company, she became interested.
To make Wang Baichuan feel that she was doing well, and not wanting him to know that she was renting a place, she asked Andy to lend her her apartment. Andy refused, and instead offered another solution: she would take her out to eat and bring her back, thus avoiding the need to borrow an apartment.
Fan Shengmei, being quite shrewd, knew perfectly well that Andy didn't want to lend her the house. She pretended to be happy and agreed. Andy wasn't targeting Fan Shengmei; it was just that Andy lacked a sense of security. They had only lived on the same floor for a few days and gone through one hardship together; their relationship hadn't progressed much, making it difficult for Andy to trust her. "If I lend you the house, who knows what you'll do with it? Won't you install surveillance or listening devices?"
Fan Shengmei had achieved half of her goal. After thanking everyone, she was about to leave when Andy stopped her. "Sister Fan, I also have something I'd like you to help me with. Could you recommend a few good restaurants in Shanghai, preferably with their signature dishes?"
"No problem, I understand! And it needs to be close to your company! No problem, I'll find out for you tomorrow!" That's what HR does; they consider everything very thoroughly.
When Andy asked Fan Shengmei for restaurant recommendations, she was inviting Qi Dian to dinner. Qi Dian had mentioned this many times online, and Andy, considering they were friends, thought it wouldn't hurt to meet up, so she agreed.

Wang Baichuan arrived earlier than Qi. He called Fan Shengmei again to arrange a specific time and place. Andy drove the three of them there. 911 on Explosive Street was indeed quite crowded; Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying had to crawl out, wearing long skirts. Although they wouldn't expose themselves, it was still very unseemly! The drama didn't even show it!
Qu Xiaoxiao, who was preparing to park her car in the back, witnessed this scene. The place Wang Baichuan had chosen was perfect for girls; Qu Xiaoxiao and Ji Xiaotong often ate there. Today, they happened to see Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer climbing out of the car. "Sister Xiaotong, look at that girl in the blue dress with the floral collar, that's Qiu Yingying! The one who delivered the cake!"
Ji Xiaotong also observed carefully, "It doesn't seem like there's anything special about it?"
"You can't tell from that yet, but if you get to know her, you'll find out she's probably not an idiot!" Qu Xiaoxiao unbuckled her seatbelt and prepared to open the car door to get out.
Although Ji Xiaotong had become a little more intelligent, her saintly nature remained. Hearing Qu Xiaoxiao's blunt words, she lectured her: "Hey, Xiaoxiao! Don't talk like that!"
