Blackening starts from the golden years

"give it to me."

As he spoke, Yuan Xudong took the watch box from Fan Shengmei's hand, turned around and put it in the safe in the bedroom.

When he returned to the living room, Fan Shengmei finally couldn't help asking:

“Are those famous watches real?”

"Yeah, it's true."

Yuan Xudong nodded gently. He looked at Fan Shengmei, who had a complicated expression, and smiled slightly.

"You girls like to collect bags, and we boys like to collect luxury watches and sports cars. It's the same principle."

"Yeah, that's right."

Fan Shengmei smiled to hide her smile. She reached out and gently lifted a few strands of hair by her ears, then looked at Yuan Xudong and smiled:

"Then I'll go ahead and clean up."

"okay."

Yuan Xudong smiled slightly. He turned a blind eye to Fan Shengmei's deliberate flirting, which made Fan Shengmei secretly curse him in her heart for being an idiot who didn't understand romance. No wonder he was still a single dog despite having such good conditions. It's not good for this man to be too honest.

At this moment, watching Fan Shengmei walking away with her hips swaying, Yuan Xudong couldn't help but smile slightly.

They were busy until after nine o'clock in the evening, and the house was almost cleaned up. At this time, Fan Shengmei, Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer were ready to go home.

Before leaving, Yuan Xudong handed a box of chocolates to Fan Shengmei and said with a smile:
"Take this box of cheese chocolates and enjoy them. I'm grateful for your kindness. I'll treat you to a meal next weekend."

"Okay, then we'll go back. Good night."

Fan Shengmei reached out and took the box of chocolates and smiled.

"OK, good night."

"Bye-Bye."

"Bye-Bye."

Yuan Xudong sent them to the stairwell entrance outside the door, and after watching them walk down the stairs, he turned back and went home.

……

As soon as they returned to the 22nd floor, Fan Shengmei and the other girls heard some exciting dance music. They followed the sound and saw that the door of 2203 was open. A party was going on inside, and a group of young men and women were drinking and partying.

Seeing this scene, Fan Shengmei and the other girls couldn't help but frown. It was almost ten o'clock, and they were still having a party?

Isn't this disturbing the public?

Although they were disgusted, Fan Shengmei and the other girls had no intention of trying to dissuade them. Qiu Yingying opened the door of room 2202, and they walked into the room and closed the door.

Half an hour later, the exciting dance music was still going on. They had to get up early to catch the subway to go to work tomorrow. Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer couldn't stand it anymore. At this time, Qiu Yingying volunteered:

"How about I go and talk to him?"

"okokokok."

Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer nodded hurriedly, watching Qiu Yingying walk out the door with her head held high. When she came back after the conversation, the exciting dance music was still playing, and no one cared about her opinion at all.

Listening to this very exciting dance music, Qiu Yingying's body couldn't help shaking to the beat of the music. Fan Shengmei patted her and sighed:

"Oh, my beauty sleep."

"What should I do?"

Guan Juer said with a sad face:
"Yingying has already said it, but why is there no effect at all?"

"Give me the phone."

"Ah."

Guan Juer agreed and then quickly ran to get Fan Shengmei's phone for her.

After getting the phone, Fan Shengmei called the property management of the community to complain:

"Hello, is this the real estate agent?"

"I am the tenant of 19 in Building 2202. The owner of 2203 is having a party. It's so late and I have to go to work early tomorrow morning."

"What's wrong with the owner?! The owner cannot disturb the neighbors. If you don't do anything, I will call the police."

"Okay, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Fan Shengmei said angrily:

"The difference between the owner and the tenant can be seen at critical moments. If it were us today, they would have come up long ago."

"It really is."

“Tenants have no human rights.”

……

On the other side, the property management staff came to the door of 2203 and told Qu Xiaoxiao politely that they had also received complaints from other neighbors and there was nothing they could do, so they hoped that she could cooperate with their work.

After listening to this, Qu Xiaoxiao smiled and agreed to stop the party after playing for another ten minutes. After that, she closed the door directly, and the party continued inside, with dancing and singing.

"This neighbor is quite troublesome."

Some people complained that they didn't feel that they were disturbing their neighbors at all. Their families were rich and they didn't have to work for three meals a day. They felt that they were enjoying life and anyone who disturbed their happiness was a troublemaker.

Not long after, there was another knock on the door. Qu Xiaoxiao thought it was the property management staff coming back, so she opened the door impatiently and said,

"What's wrong?"

"Police, turn off the music."

When they saw the police, these young rich second-generations immediately became well-behaved. They all smiled and said that they were good citizens who abided by the law.

After the two policemen warned them and left, the faces of these young rich second-generations changed immediately, and they all spoke indignantly:
"Xiao Xiao, what kind of weird neighbors are these?"

"That's right, it's just a party, but you called the police. Isn't this absolutely crazy?"

"Forget it, let's go and continue playing at the Bund."

"This is a rubbish neighborhood, and all the people living there are poor. If you ask me, Xiaoxiao, you shouldn't live here."

"That's right. It's beneath your status. Miss Qu, you live in this shabby neighborhood?"

……

These second-generation rich people often travel abroad. In the eyes of many foreigners, they represent the image of the Chinese, with the look of rich nouveau riche that makes people feel sick. Their families first became rich, and then wanted to become even richer. Their greedy desires gave birth to distorted values ​​and outlooks on life, just like a gust of wind that swept through the entire society, hiding the grass.

Money is not a crime, and wealth is not a crime either, but the premise is, where does the money come from?
Is it obtained by contributing to society, or by some other means?

Some people make money through hard work, some make money through usury and exploitation, and some directly make money through legal fraud, and so on.

The Qu family made their money by relying on the rise of real estate. Standing on the crest of the times, Qu's father borrowed funds from his original wife's family to earn his first pot of gold in his life. Then, as domestic housing prices continued to rise, the Qu family's business also grew larger and larger. Now they have opened eight companies and make annual profits of tens of millions.

However, the crisis has now begun to emerge. The Qu family's business is tied to real estate. Without transformation, no matter how hot the feast is, it will eventually come to an end.

This is the objective law of economic development. Everything has its ups and downs and does not change due to human power.

Closer to home.

Qu Xiaoxiao felt humiliated in front of this bunch of bad friends. She opened the door and walked out, angrily walked to the door of 2202, and slammed the door hard with her right hand.

Soon, Guan Juer opened the door.

Looking at Guan Juer, Qu Xiaoxiao said arrogantly:

"Did you call the police?"

"What are you calling the police for?"

Guan Juer was a little confused. Looking at Qu Xiaoxiao who was blocking the door with a fierce look, and the rich second-generations standing behind her, she couldn't help feeling a little scared and looked weak.

Seeing her like this, Qu Xiaoxiao became even more arrogant. She tilted her head and said:

"Once, twice, three times. Didn't I tell the property management? It's only ten minutes. We'll be done in another ten minutes. What are you doing? We're all neighbors. Call the police. Is it fun to make such a fuss?"

"We didn't call the police. What do you mean by calling the police?"

Guan Juer was a little afraid of Qu Xiaoxiao and didn't dare to speak loudly.

At this time, Qiu Yingying and Fan Shengmei walked to the door and looked at the arrogant Qu Xiaoxiao. Qiu Yingying said:
"What are you doing? Why are you so mean to Guan Guan?"

Fan Shengmei also said:

"That's right. It's already eleven o'clock. You're having a late night party and disturbing the neighbors. Yingying tried to persuade you but you didn't listen. We just told the property management. Is there any problem?"

"You didn't call the police? Then who did?"

"Yeah, if it's not you, who else could it be?"

"I called the police."

Andy walked out of Room 2201.

"Who are you?"

"You don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that I am the owner of 2201. I have checked the noise nuisance standards in Shanghai, China..."

Andy kept talking to Qu Xiaoxiao, and at the end he said something in English. Qu Xiaoxiao didn't understand. She blinked and watched Andy go back after pretending to be cool.

Those second-generation rich people are just there to eat and do nothing, just like idiots. They watched Andy go out and pretend to be cool, then go back and close the door. It’s ok that they didn’t dare to really do anything, but where did their mouths go?
What? Is our Guan Juer the only one who is easy to bully?

"I rely on!"

It was Qu Xiaoxiao who was down to earth and said the classic "Shit!", and then everyone dispersed and went back to their homes and mothers.

Guan Juer and the others also closed the door.

At night, in Guan Juer's room.

After taking a last look at the Dvorak record Yuan Xudong gave her, Guan Juer put the record away, closed the laptop on the desk, took off her glasses and put them aside, then lay down on the bed, closed her eyes and went to sleep. She couldn't help thinking about Yuan Xudong in her heart, and a happy and sweet smile appeared on her face.

Guan Juer slowly fell asleep. In her dream, she gently snuggled in Yuan Xudong's arms, kissed him, and then...

"Uh-huh……"

The girl's voice was very nice, soft and sweet, full of joy and happiness.

"Hmm... don't..."

……

In the next room, Qiu Yingying was sleeping soundly, holding a guitar doll in her arms. In Fan Shengmei's room, she tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, thinking about Yuan Xudong's collection of luxury watches, his Ferrari sports car, his work, etc., and then she thought about how he had looked away before and didn't take the opportunity to look at her open collar.

"You are such an idiot. You don't even know how to seize the opportunity even though I'm showing you this."

Fan Shengmei murmured. When she thought of Yuan Xudong's material conditions and handsome looks, she felt itchy all over. She sat up from the bed, bent down, pulled out the bottom drawer of the bedside table, took out the same female computer accessories as Shirai Kuroko, and then started using them while thinking of Yuan Xudong.

"Uh-huh……"

……

At six o'clock the next morning, Yuan Xudong got up on time. Without the disturbance of the woman, his sleep quality improved a lot and he became more energetic. As expected, alcohol and sex hurt people. He must quit drinking in the future and exercise more to have a good physique. Otherwise, how can he give happiness to the woman he loves?
After washing up, Yuan Xudong put on a set of sportswear, went downstairs to run and exercise.

At the same time, in Room 19 of Building 2202, Guan Juer, Qiu Yingying and Fan Shengmei also got up one after another. Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer were full of energy, while Fan Shengmei was a little less energetic.

While washing up, they talked about Qu Xiaoxiao and Andy, and felt that both of them were not easy to mess with.

Half an hour later.

"Sister Fan, Guan Guan, I'm leaving first. Bye."

"Bye-Bye."

"Yingying, bye."

Qiu Yingying washed up and went to work first, and Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer couldn't help but speed up.

"Guan Guan, hurry up, you're going to be late."

"Right away, I'll change my clothes."

"Then hurry up."

"Right away, right away."

After Guan Juer changed her clothes, Fan Shengmei quickly pulled her out the door and rushed to take the subway to work.

In the Ode to Joy community.

"Hurry up, we're going to be late."

"Sister Fan, please slow down."

Fan Shengmei pulled Guan Juer and jogged all over the community. Compared with Fan Shengmei, Guan Juer was a little lazy. She didn't want to go to work early in the morning. It was so comfortable to lie in bed.

Just then, Qu Xiaoxiao drove a small yellow car past them. Guan Juer took a look and said:

"Is that Qu Xiaoxiao's car?"

Fan Shengmei took a look and said:

"Cars are a means of transportation just like our shoes. If we really encounter a traffic jam, it may not be as fast as taking the subway."

As soon as she finished speaking, a red Porsche 911 convertible drove by. Fan Shengmei's eyes lit up and she smiled:
"This is a good car. Listen to how pleasant the sound is."

"Yes."

Guan Juer agreed. Looking at the Porsche 911 going away, Fan Shengmei said with envy:
“This car is really nice.”

"Okay, Sister Fan, stop looking. You'll miss the subway if you keep looking. Let's go."

"What kind of life is this? We live on the same floor, they drive luxury cars, but we still have to squeeze into the subway."

"We all will have it, let's go, we're going to be late."

This time it was Guan Juer who jogged holding Fan Shengmei's hand. Seeing Andy driving a luxury car, Fan Shengmei was extremely envious.

Just then, another black Porsche Panamera drove over from behind. Guan Juer and Fan Shengmei quickly retreated to the side of the road, and the car slowly stopped beside them.

The car window rolled down, Yuan Xudong looked at Guan Juer and Fan Shengmei on the roadside and said with a smile:

"Guan Guan, Sheng Mei, good morning."

"Good morning."

"Good morning."

Seeing Yuan Xudong, Guan Juer couldn't help feeling a little shy. She thought of the beautiful dream she had last night.

Looking at Yuan Xudong and his car, Fan Shengmei was a little surprised:

"Did you change the car?"

"No, I have two cars. I drive this Porsche to work."

"That's it."

"Are you going to work?"

Looking at Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:

"Guan Guan, take my car. It's on our way. Sheng Mei, where do you work? Is it on your way?"

"It's not on the way. I can just walk to the subway station in front and take the subway. You can take Guan Guan to work first. Be careful on the road."

Fan Shengmei said with a smile.

"Get in the car. I'll take you to the subway station first."

"Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome."

Yuan Xudong opened the door on the passenger side, Guan Juer got in, and Fan Shengmei sat in the back seat.

He first sent Fan Shengmei to the subway station not far ahead. After she got off the subway, Yuan Xudong drove Guan Juer to the Shanghai branch of Zhongxin Securities.

In the car, Guan Juer was secretly looking at Yuan Xudong who was driving, with an infatuated look in her eyes and a smile on her lips. She was a fangirl.

At this time, Yuan Xudong held the steering wheel with one hand, looked at the front of the car, took out his breakfast from the side and handed it to Guan Juer, smiling slightly:

"You haven't had breakfast yet? Eat something first to fill your stomach. I'll drive slower."

"um. Thank you."

Guan Juer reached out and took the whole grain bread and pure milk. She tore open the outer packaging, inserted a straw, and then ate the whole grain bread and drank the milk while continuing to secretly look at Yuan Xudong.

There was no conversation along the way until the car drove to the underground parking lot of Zhongxin Securities. After Yuan Xudong parked the car, he and Guan Juer got out of the car together and prepared to take the elevator up.

"Guan Guan, wait a moment."

"Well, what happened?"

Guan Juer looked at Yuan Xudong with some doubt. Yuan Xudong walked up to her, pointed at the right corner of his mouth and smiled:
"There's a little milk stain here."

Hearing this, Guan Juer blushed. She quickly reached out to wipe it, then looked up at Yuan Xudong and asked:

"Now, is there anything else?"

"A little more."

Yuan Xudong lied, and then he suddenly reached out and wiped the right corner of her mouth, which was soft to the touch. When his thumb gently rubbed the corner of her right lip, the slightly rough friction made Guan Juer startled at first, and then her pretty face suddenly flushed. She lowered her head, embarrassed to look at Yuan Xudong.

"Let's go, we're going to be late."

Yuan Xudong smiled and said, looking at Guan Juer's shy little look, he could take her down at any time.

"Ah."

Guan Juer nodded softly, and she followed Yuan Xudong and walked with him to the elevator to the underground parking lot.

"Guan Guan, there is a classical music concert this weekend evening. Do you have time to go with me?"

"Yes, yes."

"From now on, I'll pick you up every morning to go to work together, okay?"

"um. Thank you."

"Let me add you on WeChat so it's easier to contact you."

"Okay, I'll scan you."

"it is good."

……

After adding each other on WeChat, the relationship between Yuan Xudong and Guan Juer instantly became closer. The man has feelings, the woman is willing, and it will come naturally. Now the only thing left is the last layer of window paper to be broken.

Entering the elevator, Yuan Xudong pressed the 24th floor and Guan Juer pressed the 22nd floor.

The elevator door closed and began to rise. Looking at Guan Juer beside him, Yuan Xudong said with a smile:

"Guan Guan, if you have time at noon, let's go out for dinner together. I know there's a popular restaurant nearby, and their specialties are all delicious."

"Um, okay."

Guan Juer agreed shyly.
