Chapter 433 Guan Juer 4
Yao Bin gave him a word of advice: "It's best to make friends, but never make enemies, especially since you'll be running a company later on, and connections are still very important."
Qu Xiaoxiao wasn't really listening to him because she saw her other neighbor, Fan Shengmei, being ignored.
She was watching with great interest as Fan Shengmei headed to the restroom when she interrupted Yao Bin, saying, "Okay, I'm going to the restroom."
Over here, Xiao Qi got tired of playing and went back to her booth, sprawled out, picked up a bottle of juice and drank: "Clubbing is fun, but it's so tiring. Juice is so delicious!"
It doesn't like drinking alcohol, finding it bitter and not as delicious as the sweet and sour taste of fruit juice.
"If you're tired of playing, it's about time we went back." Guan Juer felt she had drunk enough and could go home, wash up, and fall asleep as soon as she got home.
Yunshang put down her wine bottle and said, "Let's go back. I'm going to driving lessons tomorrow."
"Let's go then." Hearing that both of them said so, Xiao Qi naturally had no objections.
They walked to the door and saw Fan Shengmei waiting for a car by the roadside.
Fan Shengmei also saw Guan Juer and the others, and walked over with a smile, saying, "Little landlord, you're here to play at the bar too?"
When Fan Shengmei was renting an apartment in Ode to Joy, Guan Juer was still in college and younger than her, so Fan Shengmei always called Guan Juer "little landlady".
Guan Juer also called Fan Shengmei "sister": "Yes, Sister Fan, are you going back to Ode to Joy? Want to ride in my car?"
"So, you've had some drinks too? Is it convenient?" Fan Shengmei looked at Xiao Qi and Yun Shang behind her.
"I called a designated driver. They are my friends and also live in Joyful Song. We were all going the same way."
Her phone rang as soon as she finished speaking. Guan Juer glanced at it and said, "The designated driver has arrived. Sister Fan, are you coming or not?"
Fan Shengmei was still hesitating when Xiao Qi said enthusiastically, "Sister Fan, we all live in the same community and are neighbors, so don't be shy!"
Yunshang nodded, and Fan Shengmei readily agreed, "Okay, then I won't stand on ceremony with you."
There are many cars parked outside the bar right now, so it's really hard to get a taxi.
Guan Juer led everyone to their car, and the designated driver arrived just in time.
She let Fan Shengmei sit in the passenger seat, and the three of them sat in the back.
Back in Ode to Joy, Guan Juer got her car keys and went to wait for the elevator with everyone.
Yunshang and Xiaoqi headed straight for Building 18: "Sister Fan, Guanguan, we're going back now, bye-bye!"
In the afternoon, they had already had the house cleaned and it was ready for people to move in.
Guan Juer waved her hand, and Fan Shengmei smiled and said, "Bye-bye."
The two walked to Building 19, waited for the elevator to come down, and went inside.
The elevator stopped on the first floor, and as soon as the doors opened, Qu Xiaoxiao's voice came: "Oh, you guys are back too?"
When Fan Shengmei saw it was her, she didn't want to talk to her. This person had just been laughing at her at the bar.
Qu Xiaoxiao wasn't interested in her at the moment either. She walked towards Guan Juer and said, "Can I just call you Guan Guan? I heard you're an artist, a famous painter, and your paintings are even auctioned. Would you like to visit my house sometime to see your paintings?"
Fan Shengmei listened quietly to the side. When she first came to Ode to Joy to rent a room, she was surprised that the landlord was a college student, and she envied her for having two apartments in Shanghai.
I originally thought she was just from a wealthy family, but now I find out she's also a painter.
Upon hearing this, Guan Juer raised an eyebrow: "Calling me Guan Guan is fine, but did you investigate me?"
Qu Xiaoxiao smiled without any guilt: "I just heard it from my friend. He has a wide network of connections and knows a lot of people. I saw you at the bar tonight and he said you were his neighbor. He only said a few words to you."
Guan Juer neither confirmed nor denied her explanation: "I will be holding an art exhibition in a while, you can go and see it."
"No problem, I'll definitely go," Qu Xiaoxiao said with a smile, thinking that there would definitely be a lot of people going to the art exhibition.
Guan Juer then looked at Fan Shengmei: "If Sister Fan has time, she can go and take a look too."
“Okay, I’ll go see your work when I have the chance.” Fan Shengmei agreed. Although she didn’t know anything about painting, she figured there must be a lot of wealthy people who went to art exhibitions.
When the elevator reached the 22nd floor, the two said goodbye to Guan Juer and stepped out of the elevator.
Guan Juer continued to take the elevator up and returned home. Xiao Qi and Yun Shang entered the space after arriving home, and now they came out of the space directly from her.
"Host, aren't you sleepy yet?"
"What? Do you two have any other plans?" Guan Juer asked, lying on the sofa.
Yunshang was holding her phone, doing practice questions for her driving test. Upon hearing this, she shook her head and said, "No, I just came over to chat."
Xiao Qi felt right at home here. She took a bottle of yogurt from the refrigerator and started drinking it: "Yeah, we don't have to sleep."
"You don't have to sleep, but I need to, so you can go back after an hour," Guan Juer said lazily.
"Ok."
Guan Juer thought for a moment and suggested, "If you're really bored, you two can go on a trip together."
Xiao Qi and Yun Shang exchanged a glance, both somewhat tempted: "Host, aren't you going?"
"If I don't go now, my mission isn't finished yet."
Yunshang thought for a moment and said, "I'll go after I get my driver's license."
“Sure, I’m going to open a restaurant soon, I’ll go after I’ve opened it,” Xiao Qi nodded.
"Okay, you can arrange it yourselves." Guan Juer ignored them.
An hour later, after the two returned, she took her pajamas to take a shower and wash up before going to bed.
The next morning, Guan Juer was still sound asleep when she was suddenly awakened by a cell phone ringing.
She frowned, remembering that she had looked at her phone before bed and forgotten to turn off the sound last night.
The ringtone was so loud that Guan Juer had no choice but to close her eyes, reach for the phone on the bedside table, and answer it.
Her voice, still sleepy and hoarse from just waking up, asked, "Hello?"
The person on the other end of the phone paused for a moment upon hearing the sleepy voice, glanced down at the hands of their watch, and confirmed that it was 11:30.
When Guan Juer heard no one speak, she spoke again: "Hello? What's up?"
Zhou Ling said, "Hello, last night at the bar entrance, I had to leave in a hurry and accidentally bumped into your car. I wanted to apologize and offer to compensate you."
He received an urgent phone call last night and left in a hurry. He knew he had hit the car next to him, but he didn't have time to get out and deal with it or apologize.
So today, we had someone find the car owner's contact information and immediately contacted the person to apologize and offer compensation.
"Okay, my car hasn't been sent for repairs yet. I'll contact you later for details." Guan Juer was very sleepy and didn't want to talk to anyone, so she agreed directly.
After saying that, she hung up the phone, pulled the blanket over her head, and went back to sleep.
Zhou Ling listened to the phone call ending, glanced at it, and then put the phone down.
