Film and Television World Life Record

It is said that enemies are especially hostile when they meet.

The two were no longer just enemies; they had another layer of relationship. They glanced at each other, then unconsciously looked away.

The two of them still vividly remember what happened that night, and thinking about their own behavior, they both wish they could dig a hole and bury themselves in it.

These past few days, although they've been cursing each other to death in their hearts, they've subconsciously avoided each other. This is the first time they've met since they parted ways that day.

As the elevator doors slowly closed, the entire space suddenly fell silent, and Qu Xiaoxiao was the first to break the silence.

"Sister Fan, you really hit me hard! Look at the damage you did to my arm the other day, it still hurts!"

Fan Shengmei snorted: "Whose fault is that! You don't even know what you did, yet you have the nerve to say it."

Qu Xiaoxiao got excited too.

"Sister Fan, that's not right of you. Is Brother Li Mu your boyfriend? No way! Then what right do you have to interfere in our affairs?"

Fan Shengmei paused upon hearing this. Regardless of what happened in private, she really had no right to interfere in public.

However, one cannot admit defeat verbally.

Whether I'm qualified or not is none of your business, but you, as a mistress, definitely aren't qualified.

When Qu Xiaoxiao heard that she was a mistress, she got anxious, as mistresses were the people she hated the most.

"Sister Fan, who are you calling a mistress? You need to be responsible for your words."

Fan Shengmei said, "Who is the mistress is known to everyone. Who seduces people every day and climbs into bed with them, yet dares not admit it."

Qu Xiaoxiao said, "Sister Fan, first of all, I didn't sneak into bed with you; I did it openly and honestly."

"Secondly, Brother Li Mu doesn't have a girlfriend. You're just someone who takes care of his physical needs. You have no right to interfere in his affairs."

"He is unmarried and I am unmarried. Our relationship is none of anyone's business, and there is no such thing as a mistress."

Fan Shengmei was furious at Qu Xiaoxiao's words. What did she mean by "solving physiological needs"? What kind of person did she take her for?

Enraged, he almost struck, but ultimately restrained himself. Pointing at Qu Xiaoxiao, he angrily said, "No matter what you say, we met first and were together a long time ago. You're the third party who came between us later, the mistress."

Qu Xiaoxiao sneered, "Sister Fan, your ideas are too outdated. What do you mean by first come, first served? In this day and age, whoever has it in their hands and gets to eat it is theirs."

"Besides, why do you like Brother Li Mu? Is it really just because you like him as a person? I think it's more because you like his money."

Fan Shengmei wanted to yell "bullshit!" Qu Xiaoxiao had indeed hit a nerve. When she first started dating Li Mu, she was attracted to his money, but she gradually became infatuated with him as a person.

He took a deep breath and snorted coldly: "I admit, his wealth is indeed very attractive to me. But I like him more as a person, whether he's rich or not."

"Don't talk about me, what about you! Do you just look at people and not rush into things because they're rich and successful?"

Qu Xiaoxiao smiled smugly: "Sister Fan, you're absolutely right. I'm just judging people by their appearance. Do you think everyone is like you?"

"Don't imagine the world of rich, beautiful, and successful women with the perspective of a chicken."

Fan Shengmei was so angry that her face turned red, and her finger trembled as she pointed at Qu Xiaoxiao, ready to strike at any moment.

A wise man doesn't suffer a loss in front of him, especially since he had just suffered a loss a couple of days ago. Qu Xiaoxiao quickly smiled and said, "Sister Fan, I was just joking with you. You actually took it seriously."

“Brother Li Mu is so rich and successful, who wouldn’t like him? How about we compete fairly? I promise I won’t use any underhanded tactics.”

Fan Shengmei glared at her, took a deep breath to calm herself down, and remained silent.

Taking advantage of the situation, Qu Xiaoxiao handed over the box containing the hairy crabs.

"Sister Fan, here are a few hairy crabs in here. Consider it my apology to you. Let's put our past grievances behind us and compete fairly from now on, how about it?"

Seeing that Fan Shengmei was still angry, he remained silent.

Qu Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "Sister Fan, why aren't you saying anything? You're not scared just because you hear there's going to be competition, are you?"

Fan Shengmei snorted: "You think I'm afraid? You think you can make Li Mu like you just by using some seductive tricks?"

Qu Xiaoxiao said, "Alright, it's a deal. Starting today, all past conflicts will be resolved, and we'll compete fairly, okay?"

Fan Shengmei glanced at her, and although she didn't nod in agreement, her expression clearly showed tacit approval.

As they were talking, they arrived at the twenty-second floor, and the elevator doors opened.

Seeing that Fan Shengmei wouldn't take the box of hairy crabs from her hand, Qu Xiaoxiao pouted and took the lead out of the elevator.

Just then, the door to the house opposite opened, and Andy, also carrying a box containing hairy crabs, came out of the house.

Seeing that Qu Xiaoxiao was carrying the same box, he said happily, "Xiao Qu, a friend gave me some hairy crabs, but I don't know how to prepare them. Since you have some too, I'll leave them to you."

Qu Xiaoxiao quickly stopped her, saying, "Sister Andy, do I look like someone who can cook?"

Andy glanced at her, shook his head, and said with a smile, "It really doesn't look like it."

"None of us know how to do it, so what should we do?"

Qu Xiaoxiao's eyes darted around, and she smiled, "It's okay if we don't know how to do it, Sister Fan does! We can just hand it over to Sister Fan."

"Right, Sister Fan!" she said, placing the box directly at the door of room 2202.

Before Fan Shengmei could refuse, Andy's eyes lit up, and she also placed the box at the door of 2202.

“Fan Xiaomei, none of us know how to cook this. You’re probably the only one with experience on this floor, so we’ll have to trouble you to handle it. My room is fully equipped, so you can use it. We’ll invite everyone over to eat together in a bit.”

If it were Qu Xiaoxiao, she could refuse, but Fan Shengmei has been getting along well with Andy lately, so she can't refuse now.

He couldn't confront Qu Xiaoxiao in front of Andy; there were some things only the two of them could know, so he had to grit his teeth and accept it.

"Okay, Andy, no problem. I'll call two more people over later so we can eat together."

Chapter 139: Beat chicken blood

In the evening, Li Mu returned home from get off work, and Qu Xiaoxiao and Fan Shengmei invited him to Andy's house to eat hairy crabs.

After thinking about it, I agreed.

He and Andy were not strangers. Li Mu would go downstairs to run and practice martial arts every day, and Andy was also a fitness enthusiast who would go downstairs to run and exercise every morning.

There weren't many people doing morning exercises in the neighborhood, and the two often bumped into each other during their morning workouts. However, Andy, being an amateur, was naturally no match for Li Mu.

This made her curious about Li Mu and pay more attention to him. Later, they ran into each other during morning exercise and often greeted each other and chatted for a few minutes. Gradually, they became familiar with each other.

……

At this moment, at Andy's residence, Qu Xiaoxiao went back to her own home to tidy up, and then invited Li Mu before coming to 2201. Upon seeing Andy, she immediately pounced on her.

"Sister Andy, I'm here! I've missed you so much!"

Andy was using his laptop to chat with an online friend named Qidian, arranging to meet up sometime.

Seeing Qu Xiaoxiao about to pounce, he helplessly closed his notebook and quickly dodged.

Qu Xiaoxiao missed her target and said with a resentful look, "Sister Andy, I'm so heartbroken that you're avoiding me."

Andy laughed and said, "I'm sorry, Xiao Qu, I'm not used to physical contact, including hugs."

He shrugged, revealing a helpless expression.

Qu Xiaoxiao feigned grievance, and seeing that Andy remained unmoved, she stopped teasing her.

However, she was naturally active and disliked stillness. Her eyes darted around, and she looked curiously at Guan Juer: "Where's Xiao Qiu! Two of your three roommates came. Xiao Qiu always loves to join in the fun, why didn't she come this time?"

Guan Juer explained, "Didn't Xiao Qiu lose her job because her boyfriend was arrested? She's been heartbroken these past few days!"

"This afternoon, following his father's advice, he bought a few motivational books from the bookstore and is now engrossed in reading them to cheer himself up."

"Sigh, good jobs are hard to find these days. I wonder when Yingying will be able to find one."

Qu Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "Finding a job is not difficult. Whether it's your brother Li Mu or me, it's just a matter of lifting a finger. Why bother so much?"

Guan Juer's eyes lit up: "Brother Li's company is a technology company with high entry barriers. It mainly needs technical personnel. I think it would be difficult for Yingying to adapt if she went there."

"Xiaoxiao, I heard you're the CEO of a company now, and it's quite large. Do you have any suitable positions for Yingying? Please help her."

Qu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, thinking about the positions her company was short of staff for, and said, "Our company is currently short of a few markets. If Yingying agrees, I can arrange it right now."

"But do you think Yingying is suited for marketing with her low emotional intelligence? This job is not easy. Not only does it require thick skin, but it also requires familiarity with interpersonal relationships. Ideally, she should be a shrewd person. Is Xiao Qiu suitable?"

Guan Juer thought about Qiu Yingying and realized that her emotional intelligence was indeed not very high. Not to mention running around the market and fooling others, she might even be fooled by others instead.

He shook his head and said, "Yingying is indeed not very suitable for running a business in the market."

"Xiaoxiao, what should we do? Should we just let her continue like this, unable to find a suitable job? I don't know if Yingying can handle it."

Qu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and said, "Actually, there are still people here who can help Yingying, so it's a good job."

Guan Juer asked, "Who is it?"

Qu Xiaoxiao gestured towards Andy with her chin: "Who else could it be but Andy!"

“Andy is the CFO of Shengxuan Group, she has a lot of power, arranging things for Qiu Yingying is no big deal for her.”

"Maybe Yingying will soar to great heights and be assigned directly to headquarters."

Andy overheard their conversation and smiled faintly; she was a very direct person.

"I'm sorry, but my place only accepts two types of women: iron ladies or stunningly beautiful but empty-headed women. Xiao Qiu isn't suitable!"

Qu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she leaned closer to ask, "Then... what if I go?"

Andy looked her up and down: "How can a vase compare to a vixen? Of course, you're welcome."
