Chapter 551 Fan Shengmei 6
Fan Shengmei nodded: "What do you want to eat?"
"Let me think... that music restaurant you went to last time was pretty good, I'd like to try it too."
"Why didn't you say so earlier? I remember that place wasn't on the way home and I had to turn around."
Xiao Qi chuckled, "Hehe, I just thought of that. I'll turn on the navigation for you."
Fan Shengmei didn't say anything, she went straight to the intersection ahead to make a U-turn, and then followed the navigation.
They parked their car at the restaurant entrance, got out, and went straight inside.
As soon as the two entered, Yu Anyan, who had just finished delivering food to someone else from the other side of the store, saw them.
Without a second thought, he walked over and said, "Welcome! Sister, you're here again? Let me show you in."
Fan Shengmei has a good memory; she still remembers that this is the waitress who dirtied her clothes last time: "You're working part-time here? Then lead the way."
"Yes, thank you for not complaining about me last time. Are you still sitting upstairs today?"
"Those are all minor matters. Yes, the view from up there is better."
Yi Renyi followed Yu Anyan to a booth and sat down. It was right next to the railing, so they could clearly see the stage below.
Yu Anyan went to get a menu: "What would you like to order?"
"Xiao Qi, you order first."
"Okay." Xiao Qi smiled and took the menu, looking at it. "Sister, would you like some wine?"
Fan Shengmei hesitated for a second: "I drove here today, but I'd like to have a drink."
"Sure, we'll call a designated driver later."
"Then let's have a drink."
"OK, I've ordered you a cocktail."
"can."
After they ordered their food, Fan Shengmei was about to pay when she realized something was wrong: "There's more than this, isn't there?"
Yu Anyan said with a smile, "Sister, since I got your clothes dirty last time, I'll cover your drinks tonight."
"No need, I already told you not to take it to heart." Fan Shengmei felt a little embarrassed that a college student was treating her.
"Sister, I'll always feel uneasy if you don't agree."
Although he was actually living a rather frugal life, he felt bad if he didn't do something about what happened last time.
The two argued for a few minutes, but in the end, Fan Shengmei couldn't win the argument and reluctantly agreed.
Before leaving with the menu, Yu Anyan said her name, and the two of them were now acquainted.
After everyone left, Xiao Qi spoke up: "Host, that Yu Anyan is good-looking and has good luck in his destiny. He'll definitely be a hit if he signs with the company."
It had just sized up Yu Anyan; he was 1.86 meters tall, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs—tall and slender, a perfect clothes hanger.
He has a handsome appearance, like a cool and aloof campus heartthrob. His features are striking and he's the kind of person who would definitely attract attention in a crowd.
Xiaoqi thought that it was only because its host had seen too many handsome men that it was so calm. It had seen many young ladies unconsciously looking at the waiter more often.
Fan Shengmei: "She's a college student who works part-time to support herself. For ordinary people, the entertainment industry is so complicated and not so great."
"But it's about making money. He wouldn't have to work so hard here doing part-time jobs just to earn that meager salary."
"Xiao Qi, we must respect the fate of others."
Xiao Qi said helplessly, "Okay, I've just developed a bit of an occupational hazard from looking for potential partners for you every day lately. When I see someone with excellent looks, these are the first people that come to mind."
"I didn't expect you to have picked up that office vibe now."
Xiao Qi's eyes darted around: "Host, I've been so diligent, how are you going to reward me?"
Fan Shengmei glanced at it sideways: "Isn't treating you to a meal enough? Don't be too greedy!"
"hey-hey."
Just as they finished speaking, Yu Anyan came over with a tray.
"Sisters, please enjoy your meal. I have to go now."
There are always quite a few customers at this time of day, and he regrets that he didn't have a chance to chat with her for a while longer.
"Go ahead and do your work, don't worry about us," Fan Shengmei said, waving her hand.
Yu Anyan nodded and then went to another table to wait for customers to order.
While she was eating, Fan Shengmei's phone rang, and she picked it up to answer it.
"Ms. Fan, would it be convenient for you to come over and take a look at the renovations these next couple of days?"
On the other end of the phone was Li Wei, the company in charge of Fan Shengmei's home renovation. It was the first time he had ever seen a homeowner so indifferent to the renovation.
Since she handed the house over to them, she only gave them instructions on how to decorate it, and then a month has passed without her coming to check on it or asking a single question.
Upon hearing this, Fan Shengmei remembered that the house she bought in Ode to Joy was still under renovation: "Okay, I'll go there tomorrow."
She had previously entrusted all the house-related matters to a renovation company, and as long as she paid them the full amount, they rarely bothered her.
After hanging up the phone, Fan Shengmei thought for a moment and asked Xiao Qi, "How long until the plot starts?"
Xiao Qi's gaze was fixed on the stage below. Upon hearing this, she said, "It's still a long way off, there are still more than six years to go."
"Of the five girls in Ode to Joy, apart from me and Andy, the others are all under twenty years old."
"Yes host."
Fan Shengmei stopped thinking about these things and began to focus on eating, drinking, and listening to music.
It was 9:30 p.m. when they got home. Yunshang heard the noise and went downstairs.
"I thought you were all home, but I didn't expect to come back and find that none of you were there."
Fan Shengmei asked, "I had a few drinks tonight, so I stayed out a little longer. Have you eaten yet?"
"I had dinner at the company and just got back after finishing my work."
"You've worked hard. When you and Xiaoqi have time later, you can go on a trip."
Yunshang shook her head: "I now find managing the company quite interesting."
She did find it interesting to be exposed to many different things.
"I'm glad you don't find it hard."
"It's not hard."
Xiao Qi: "Host, then let's go on a trip sometime."
"We'll see, but I could go for a short trip for a few days."
After saying that, she added, "You guys chat, I'm going upstairs to my room to wash up first."
After Fan Shengmei finished showering and drying her hair, she sat on the sofa in her room looking at scripts to see if there were any that interested her.

That evening, Fan Shengmei was carrying a bottle of wine as she walked out of an alley.
This area is mostly inhabited by local Shanghainese, and the buildings are quite old, with many long-established shops.
She heard from Xiao Qi that there was a wine shop here that sold only their own brewed and aged wines.
So, she made a special trip tonight to buy some wine to try, as drinking has been her only hobby for many years.
When they were still some distance from the alley entrance, Fan Shengmei saw someone lying on the ground ahead.
She paused for a moment, then quickened her pace and walked over. She found an elderly woman lying on the ground, who appeared to be a kind grandmother.
The old woman looked to be in great pain; her hands were hanging limply below her chest, and she appeared to have been unconscious for quite some time.
