Chapter 383 Ode to Joy (4)
With the activities of practicing Tai Chi with the elderly, Wangyou spent much less time in her room, and her life naturally became much more regular.
She mostly heard a lot of gossip from the older folks, and she was quite happy to follow along with everyone's gossip every day.
As for her mentally ill parents, they had long been forgotten by Wangyou.
That day, Wangyou went to the park to exercise as usual, then went home to wash up before going out to find something to eat.
Then Wangyou received a call from Professor Yuan of the Physics Department. It turned out that he was showing some graduate students around and asked Wangyou if she was interested. At the end, Professor Yuan added that there would be free good food.
Since it was free and she could eat delicious food, she figured she might as well go. So, Wangyou turned around and took a taxi to the address that Professor Yuan had sent her.
While taking a taxi, Wangyou couldn't help but complain about why fifteen-year-olds aren't allowed to take driving tests. She said that every time she goes out, she either takes a taxi or walks, which is fine for short distances, but inconvenient for long distances.
Fortunately, her senior sister came to pick her up downstairs, and Wangyou happily took her arm and went upstairs.
Wangyou doesn't need to do anything. Professor Yuan just called her here to listen. She will be able to handle things on her own in the future. Moreover, no matter what the reason, the professors will not expose her in advance. So Wangyou only needs to listen and eat.
Midway through, Wangyou sneaked out for some fresh air and washed her hands in the restroom. There she saw Qu Xiaoxiao pacing anxiously in the restroom.
"Qu Xiaoxiao, what are you doing here?"
"I brought a foreign guest to experience Chinese cuisine, but he asked me how to translate the dishes. I don't know how! What should I do?"
"Oh, right, look for Andy."
"It's just food translation, I can do that. Andy works too, she's the CEO, she's much busier than you."
"Then let's keep the phone line open." Qu Xiaoxiao didn't care anymore, quickly dialed Wangyou's number, plugged in her Bluetooth headset, and then hurriedly went back.
Since she had agreed to help, Wangyou wandered around a bit longer, and passersby assumed that the girl was memorizing vocabulary words.
Back home, it was still the same. It really was a trip to broaden one's horizons. There were quite a few dishes on the table, but only Wangyou actually ate them, because she was the only one who came for the food.
Then, while Wangyou was eating, she would occasionally utter a word or two, and her senior brothers and sisters assumed that she was trying to confirm something.
After a satisfying meal, the business-oriented gathering came to an end, and everyone bid each other farewell and left.
Wangyou politely declined her senior's offer to take her home and instead took a taxi back to Joyful Song.
Because of the successful planning and translation, Qu Xiaoxiao successfully secured GI's agency and went on a wild party.
The next day, Wangyou, who was still staying at home watching TV, heard a knock on the door.
"Guan Guan, what's the matter? Come in and talk."
"It's nothing, it's just that Andy and Qu Xiaoxiao brought back some hairy crabs and are treating us. Yingying will also be bringing her boyfriend over to cook for everyone. Do you want to join us?"
"Yes, come in and sit down. I'll change my clothes first." If she's just getting a free meal, she won't need to order food.
Wangyou quickly changed her clothes and then asked Guan Juer, "When did Qiu Yingying start dating someone?"
“Just a few days ago, he said he was the manager of their company, surnamed Bai. We haven’t seen what he looks like, but Yingying said he’s quite handsome,” Guan Juer said gently.
"Office romance? Qiu Yingying was fooled!" Wangyou blurted out after hearing this.
"Why do you say that?"
"Although I don't work, I've heard from my seniors that whether it's a big company or a small company, they don't support office romances. In some companies, if a couple applies for a job together, neither of them will be hired."
From what you've said, someone who could become a supervisor must be much older than Qiu Yingying, and Qiu Yingying hasn't been in the workforce long. I bet that Supervisor Bai is just playing around.
"Oh no, really?!"
Have you ever heard this saying?
"What?"
“If a 21-year-old boy says he wants to marry you, he’s definitely serious. But if a 28-year-old man wants to marry you, he’s definitely weighing the pros and cons. That Manager Bai isn’t younger than that. Do you think he would marry a young girl who has nothing?”
"That seems to make sense, but how do you know so much, Wangyou?"
"I've watched too many melodramatic soap operas."
I remembered that when I came in, Wangyou was watching TV, and the content of the TV series seemed to be like this.
The two arrived at Andy's house quickly as they talked. When they arrived, Wangyou saw that Fan Shengmei and Qu Xiaoxiao were already there, and Qu Xiaoxiao was sleeping soundly on her back.
"Why is she sleeping so strangely?" Wangyou laughed.
Who knows!
"Are there enough hairy crabs for us? Do you need me to provide anything else?"
"No need, you can just wait to eat. Besides, Yingying and her boyfriend will bring food, enough for us," Fan Shengmei said with a smile.
"Qiu Yingying actually secretly dated someone without telling me! How awful! I need to look at some handsome guys to feast my eyes on."
"Handsome guy, where's the handsome guy?" Qu Xiaoxiao, who was sleeping on the sofa, was startled awake.
"There are no handsome guys here, you should just go to sleep!" Andy said helplessly.
Qu Xiaoxiao lay down straight again, leaving everyone helpless.
Wangyou took out her phone and showed the photos of her older single male classmates to a few young women. The photos were all taken openly by her.
"Sister Andy, Sister Fan, and Guan Guan, I don't see any of you have boyfriends. How about I introduce you to my senior brothers? I guarantee they're handsome, have good personalities, good looks, abs, and even own a house and a car." Wangyou thought of her senior brothers in their late twenties who were buried in experiments in the lab and were being urged to get married by several phone calls every day.
"I can't. I have to do an internship. I'll only consider this after my internship is over," Guan Guan waved her hand in refusal.
"Guan Guan, don't rush to refuse. Look at this senior, his surname is Zhang, he is a 25-year-old graduate student in the Computer Science Department, my direct senior, he has a gentle personality, very upright values, and he is also a second-generation rich kid with a good family atmosphere. His personal assets are not low either. You can consider it."
Wangyou zoomed in on the photo and showed it to Guan Juer. Andy and Fan Shengmei also took a look. She was indeed quite pretty, but Guan Guan still refused, as she was preoccupied with her internship.
Guan Juer wasn't interested, so Wangyou naturally wouldn't press the matter further. It was just a pity for this senior brother; he would have to remain single.
As for why Wangyou took these photos, it's because the people in these photos are all single, and the kind who haven't had a partner for a long time. Wangyou likes gossip, so she thought she could find them partners at the center of gossip, which would satisfy her desire to eat gossip and solve their single problem at the same time.
"Sister Fan, I remember you seem to really want to find a partner. Would you like to pick one out? I can introduce you to someone."
"Me? Can I do it?" The usually confident Fan Shengmei suddenly felt a little timid.
