"Sister Fan and I are both Brother Han's employees, so it's only natural that we do more work. Besides, Brother Han treated everyone to such a delicious roasted whole lamb, so I won't participate in the penalty drink!"
Guan Juer pushed her glasses, glanced at Han Tao and said, "I won't join either. Yingying and I just need some delicious food. Brother Han is so tired, let him drink less."
"Yo yo yo, look, our Guan Guan is already feeling romantically aroused. He really values love over friendship!"
Because the three people in 2202 have been helping Guan Juer to guard against Qu Xiaoxiao, and if she lived here, Guan Guan would also take the initiative to take Andy's car, so no one except Fan Shengmei and Qiu Yingying knew about it.
In addition, Qu Xiaoxiao was too busy with company matters recently and had no time to pay attention to these things, so she continued without knowing the inside story:
"That's not right, Guan Guan, you've become a bad person. I remember you already have a boyfriend? You've even met his parents. How can you have feelings for Brother Tao? Tell me what's going on?"
Her words made Guan Juer blush, and she didn't know how to explain herself. She felt so uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Fan Shengmei beside her hurried to intervene: "Okay, Xiao Qu, Guan Guan is shy, don't joke too much.
Besides, this is Guan Guan’s private matter, so let’s not get involved. If she wants to talk about it, she will naturally tell it. Don’t force her!
"I'm so busy, how can I have time for gossip? I can't even make a joke."
Rolling her eyes at Fan Shengmei, Qu Xiaoxiao said unhappily, "Sister Fan, even though I said this as a joke, I meant well. Why are you all so wary of me like a thief? I'm just that bad in your eyes. It's so sad!"
"Okay, Xiao Qu, Sister Fan is right. This is all Guan Guan's privacy. Don't get involved. Don't make jokes. Han Tao's identity is different from that of ordinary people. Don't cause him any trouble!"
Andy, who was standing by, interrupted her, fearing that Qu Xiaoxiao would take the joke too far or mean well but end up doing something worse.
"Okay, then I won't ask who he is. I'll ask something else."
Qu Xiaoxiao was just teasing, but Guan Juer's being defended by them actually aroused her true nature, so she rolled her eyes and said:
"Guan Guan, I'm not kidding you anymore. Tell me about your boyfriend who met his parents. I promise I won't mess things up. How are things going between you two? Didn't I say I'd buy you a house?"
"Stinky little song, I won't tell you!"
Guan Juer snorted and said firmly, "Don't try to trick me. Although you may not necessarily sabotage me, I can't guarantee that you won't do something bad with good intentions. I won't tell you unless we have a result."
After saying that, Guan Juer stole a glance at Han Tao. Qu Xiaoxiao felt even more itchy, and all her gossip cells were stimulated, so she continued to ask without giving up:
"Guan Guan, what do you mean by 'results'? What era is this? Please don't tell me you two haven't been together yet!"
Hearing her words, Guan Juer blushed and immediately retorted: "Bah, a dog can't spit out ivory. Do you think everyone is as open-minded as you? My mother told me that we are not allowed to live together before we are engaged!"
“Guan Guan, you’ve grown up now. You can’t just listen to your mother. You need to fight for what you want from a man, especially an outstanding man.
For example, if you like someone like Tao Ge but don’t act in time, it will be too late in a blink of an eye, and there may be several people in front of you in line.
Besides, we can't aim for marriage in every relationship. If we fall in love with the intention of getting married, then it's also utilitarian, and it's not as noble as you think, understand?"
Hearing this, before Guan Juer could refute, Qiu Yingying stuffed mutton into her mouth and said vaguely:
"Bah, Qu Xiaoxiao, don't lead Guan Guan astray. Any relationship that isn't for the purpose of marriage is just hooliganism!"
Qu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and said, "Come on, Xiao Qiu, don't get involved with that. Although it's true that everyone wants to have a relationship that won't end in a breakup,
But have you ever thought about it? It seems to be a very beautiful thing for two people to hold hands and walk into the palace of marriage, but is marriage necessarily the other side of happiness?
It is very likely that it is just the beginning of a nightmare. If a relationship is destined to be unhappy, why should we force ourselves to get married?
Divorce is much more costly than breaking up, so if you like someone, go for it first and take possession of them first, otherwise you will end up with regrets."
Hearing Qu Xiaoxiao's heresy, Fan Shengmei surprisingly did not refute it, but said emotionally:
"Xiao Qu is right about this. I used to be so hesitant, thinking that finding a good man wouldn't be so hard. I thought women were born to be supported by men.
But my fantasy was shattered. The good men had already been taken away by others, and the rest were all scumbags. It was not until I met Han Tao that I realized that women have to rely on themselves in the end. If you have a career, you have everything.
As for love, it really can't be done solely with the goal of getting married. Every woman needs a passionate love affair. Even if it doesn't end happily in marriage, it can still be a memory. When we are old, we can bask in the sun while reminiscing about those sweet past times."
"Sister Fan is right. Career is the most important thing. I feel very fulfilled now. Our Lutu Coffee will be opening soon, and I have been promoted to deputy store manager. The scumbag Bai that I used to admire is now worthless in my eyes.
Speaking of this, I have to thank Brother Han. It was he who gave me a chance to work hard, helped Sister Fan and the others persuade me, took me to eat delicious food, and helped me get out of the shadow of a broken heart.
Finally, he helped us pay the rent, otherwise I would have returned to my hometown. So not only can I not be fined, I also want to offer a drink to Brother Han. I'll drink first as a show of respect!
The silly girl Qiu Yingying picked up a glass of wine and drank it as soon as she finished speaking, and then continued to fight with the lamb shank on the plate.
Fan Shengmei patted her head lovingly and said with a smile, "The fact that little earthworm can say what you just said shows that you have really grown and improved. Our love for you, silly girl, has not been in vain. You must continue to work hard in the future and strive to be promoted to store manager as soon as possible."
"Okay, I get it, Sister Fan. As long as we live, we will fight!"
What is most touching about Qiu Yingying is her fearless spirit despite being ignorant. She can always maintain her enthusiasm for both life and work, especially for her job in coffee, where she is exceptionally hardworking and studious.
He not only learned about coffee through various methods, but also tirelessly sought out Andy to learn management. It can be said that he has always been taking positive action. No boss dislikes positive employees.

Chapter 604 Guan Juer's Choice
At the same time, Guan Juer also felt that Qu Xiaoxiao was experienced. Although she had to be wary of her, she could learn more from her, so she went over to ask him for advice.
Guan Juer also began to struggle in her heart. She didn't know what to choose. She was considering whether she should give herself to Han Tao. Otherwise, what if he was snatched away by someone else?
Seeing Guan Juer taking the bait, Qu Xiaoxiao glanced at Andy, who was warning her with her eyes, and said with a smile:
"Guan Guan, since you've chosen me as your master, I'll tell you something. Dating is when two people in love have gone through enough and don't have the energy to go through any more, so they get married and start living an ordinary life.
Because you have experienced that kind of grand and passionate love, you will cherish your current ordinary life even more. If you don't enjoy the sweetness of that kind of love from the beginning, then it will be difficult for you to feel the sweetness in an ordinary marriage, do you understand? "
Guan Juer felt that it made sense, but also that it didn't make sense. After thinking for a long time, she said, "But I think we should still be reserved. If heaven doesn't give birth to a lady, the world will be like a long night!"
"Can't you just talk properly? What a mess! Just remember what I said. If you like her, just pounce on her. Otherwise, if someone else snatches her away, you won't be able to cry!"
Qu Xiaoxiao drank a sip of wine and said unhappily, "I can't say anything else. You're better than me in culture, but Guan Guan, remember this: when it comes to love, I was a Gold Saint. You can't go wrong if you listen to me. Don't miss out and regret it later."
"I think you are the Gold Saint in bed, so don't force everything on Guan Guan. What suits you may not suit Guan Guan!"
Qiu Yingying's mouth was full of oil, but she didn't forget to argue with Qu Xiaoxiao, and her language became much sharper, much better than before when she only knew how to suppress Qu Xiaoxiao with physical strength.
"What's the matter, Qiu Yingying? I think you're really good at talking now. You actually dare to talk back. Do you not want my order anymore?
There are at least two hundred people working in our company now, and all of them need to drink coffee every day. You have to think about this carefully.
Moreover, all my friends have their own companies, so big customers like us not only have strong spending power but also powerful connections. Just think about this performance, your position as deputy store manager will be secure, who would dare to disobey?"
When Qiu Yingying heard her say this, she immediately said excitedly: "Yes, why didn't I think of it before.
Companies like yours already need coffee. This is a huge order. It's best to keep it within the family. Qu Xiaoxiao, you can't give it to anyone else. After all, you're one of the shareholders of Travel Coffee."
Guan Juer also chimed in, "That's right, no matter what you say or do, you have to help Yingying more. After all, it's better to give the coffee purchasing business of your friend's company to your own people than to others. Like Yingying said, after all, you are one of the shareholders of Lutu Coffee."
"Then it depends on your performance!"
Seeing that both of them were begging her, Qu Xiaoxiao raised her head proudly, and then sighed: "But I didn't expect that Guan Guan would actually use the back door. It seems that he has changed a lot. If it were before, I would never believe it even if I died."
Qiu Yingying smiled gratefully at Guan Juer, and then looked forward to the future: "Thank you Guan Guan, thank you Xiao Qu, thank you Brother Han, thank you Sister Fan and Andy, I feel like I am dreaming.
I will work hard in the future, I want to let my parents live a good life, and I will buy a big house in Shanghai, even in the suburbs, so that I can bring them to Shanghai to enjoy a good life."
Han Tao smiled and encouraged, "Well done, Xiao Qiu, you are a filial and hardworking girl. I believe you can let your parents live in the house you bought.
Believe in yourself, you can do it. Brother Han also promised you that as long as you work hard and persevere, you will get the rewards you want. "
"That's right, Xiao Qiu, you have to believe in yourself. You're doing great now. I used to feel useless, unable to even take care of my brother, but I persisted and finally found him. Of course, in addition to my persistence, I also have to thank Han Tao and Lao Tan for their help."
Hearing Andy mention his brother, Han Tao smiled and said, "Come to think of it, I've been so busy lately that I forgot to ask you, Andy, how is Xiao Ming doing recently? Is he feeling better?"
"Much better. Xiao Ming has gotten much better under the treatment of your doctor friend. He now recognizes me as his sister."
Speaking of her brother, Andy's face was filled with doting. She looked at Han Tao gratefully and continued, "I forgot to tell you that the first phase of the sanatorium has been completed, and we are now planning to start the second phase of construction.
The nursing home and welfare home have also been renovated and have received praise and recognition from the local government. Let's go and see them together when we have time!"
"Okay, let's go take a look after I finish my work. I have a tea project and I can bring some Daishan Yunwu tea with me."
...........................
Just as Han Tao and Andy were chatting, a cell phone rang. Seeing that it was Guan Juer's phone, Qu Xiaoxiao turned around and shouted, "There's a call."
Hearing this, Guan Juer, who was walking towards the bathroom, asked her to help answer the phone and she would be there soon.
Seeing that the caller ID showed it was Senior Brother Lin, and Guan Juer had authorized it, Qu Xiaoxiao answered the call with a playful look on her face, "Hello, who is this?"
A male voice soon rang out from the other end: "Guan Guan, are you working overtime today? Why did you take so long to answer the phone? I hope I didn't disturb you."
Seeing him calling Guan Juer so late at night with such a gentle tone, Qu Xiaoxiao immediately thought that someone who showed affection for no reason was either a traitor or a thief, so she responded:
"Hello, I'm Guan Guan's neighbor. She's in the bathroom and can't answer the phone right now. What can I do for you?"
After hearing the answer, the other party hesitated and said, "Hello, I am Lin Jing, Guan Guan's senior. It's nothing. It's almost the weekend, and I want to invite him to go to the farm to have fun together.
There are also a few fellow Wuxi folks who are going back, all working in Shanghai. We can get to know each other and look out for each other in the future. Could you please tell her to call me back later?"
"Okay, I'll tell her!"
As she was talking, Guan Juer had already wiped her hands and walked over. Qu Xiaoxiao hurriedly continued, "Don't hang up, she's here, I'll give her the phone."
"Hey, are you still there, Brother Lin?"
After picking up the phone, seeing no response from the other end, Guan Juer walked over and asked, "Hello, Senior Brother Lin, are you still there? What do you want to talk to me about so late?"
"I'm in Guanguan, but there's nothing much to do. Some of my fellow villagers went to a farm to have fun this weekend. I thought if you have time, you could go over and get to know them. The environment there is nice and it would be nice to relax."
Guan Juer subconsciously glanced at Han Tao and saw him glance at her while talking to Andy. Although Han Tao was going on a business trip the day after tomorrow and couldn't accompany her on the weekend, she still responded embarrassedly to avoid misunderstanding:
"I'm sorry, Senior Brother Lin, I might not be free this weekend because I plan to go home. Thank you for your invitation, maybe next time."
"That's okay, let's make another appointment. After all, it's a rare weekend off, so it's nice to go home and visit. I was actually planning to go back, but I wasn't sure if I had the time."
"Well, I'll hang up first, Senior Brother Lin. I wish you all a good time. Thank you for thinking of me. Goodbye!"
"You're welcome. Seeing you guys always working overtime, go to bed early. Bye."
"goodbye!"
.....................
Chapter 605: Tangled Guan Guan
After hanging up the phone, Guan Juer looked worried, obviously worried that Han Tao would misunderstand. After all, calling in the middle of the night to ask someone to go out and play was inappropriate in Fan Shengmei's opinion.
Therefore, Fan Shengmei glanced at Han Tao, and although she didn't notice anything, she still helped to guide the topic:
"Guan Guan, is this a gathering of your fellow townspeople? I've always been asked to attend such gatherings before, and Wang Baichuan has also arranged one. If you don't want to go, don't worry about it. Socializing is useless and dispensable."
Guan Juer looked at Fan Shengmei gratefully and said, "Well, I've already declined. I really don't like this kind of party, and I didn't know that Senior Brother Lin would invite me again, so I didn't prepare anything. Besides, I plan to go back home this weekend and don't have time to attend."
Looking at the innocent Guan Juer, and considering that Senior Brother Lin had previously invited Guan Juer to go home with him, Fan Shengmei was worried that he would find a reason to go back with him. She pinched her cheek and said,
"Guan Guan, you can go home with Xiao Qu on the weekend. He's going to Taizhou, so he can pass by Wuxi."
"Really, that's great!"
Guan Juer smiled happily. She was also worried because just now, Senior Brother Lin heard that she was going home and also said that he planned to go back to Wuxi. So she asked excitedly:
"Xiao Qu, when are you leaving? It's tomorrow, can you take me with you?"
Qu Xiaoxiao shook her head. "I'm sorry, my dear Guan Guan. Although I'm anxious to go to Taizhou, after all, the capitalist just assigned me a task, but I have to meet with Yao Bin to discuss a client this weekend. The appointment has already been made and cannot be changed, so I won't be there until next Monday."
"Oh, I see..."
Seeing Guan Juer's face showing a dark look of disappointment, Han Tao clinked glasses with Andy before she could finish her words, drank his drink and said:
"Guan Guan, if you want to go home, you can follow my car. My team needs to go there first to scout out the details of such a large acquisition. You can just tag along then!"
"Okay, okay, thank you, Brother Han!"
At this unexpected turn of events, Guan Juer nodded happily. Although she did not understand the ways of the world very well, she was smart enough to understand that Han Tao wanted someone to send her back and that going to find out the truth was just an excuse.
Fan Shengmei, who was standing by, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the crisis was over. She raised her glass and invited everyone to have a drink.
Andy continued to talk about work with Han Tao. She had been under a lot of pressure recently and had a lot of work to do. She urgently needed someone to share the burden with her, even if it was just to give some suggestions.
Not to mention Qiu Yingying, she didn't notice any problem at all, her eyes were full of delicious food, and she ate while touching her stomach and sighed:
"Oh, it's so delicious. I'm almost stuffed to death. This is my first time eating roasted whole lamb. It's much more satisfying than lamb skewers."
Regarding Qiu Yingying, a straightforward little sister who doesn't care about her reputation, Fan Shengmei said with a smile:
"You, even though it's a lamb, you ate almost half of it by yourself. How can you not feel bloated? Be careful of indigestion and stomachache."
Hearing that Qiu Yingying had eaten almost half of it, Guan Juer looked at the pile of bones in front of her, then looked at her stomach, and said with concern:
"Yingying, stop eating. Go find some stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets. Otherwise, you'll definitely feel uncomfortable in your stomach after eating so much."
"No, no, I have to eat even if I feel uncomfortable. Such a delicious roasted whole lamb cannot be wasted."
