Film and TV: Starting from childhood, I will give up Zhong Yi

Chapter 165 The little secret between us
Guan Juer blushed at the compliment and said shyly, "Everyone in my group who entered the company graduated from a prestigious university. I am still worried about whether I can pass the year-end assessment. Brother Lin, what do you do?"

The university Guan Juer attended was neither a 985 nor a 211. In order to pass the assessment and stay in the company at the end of the year, she had to work harder than others.

Lin Yuan chuckled and replied, "I used to work in a software company, but I just quit recently."

Guan Juer curiously asked, "Are you planning to change jobs?"

Lin Yuan shook his head and explained, "I started a side job before and made some money, so I plan to continue working hard in this area."

Qiu Yingying has always been carefree. When she heard Lin Yuan mention making money from a side job, her eyes lit up instantly and she couldn't wait to ask, "What side job?"

"To put it simply, it simulates hacker attack methods to find some unknown vulnerabilities in software, systems or networks. Those big companies will pay bonuses based on the severity of the vulnerabilities."

Guan Juer was surprised and envious, and praised him sincerely: "Brother Lin, you are really amazing. If I told my parents that I was going to quit, they would definitely not agree."

Guan Juer comes from a well-off family, has a reserved and introverted personality, is well-behaved and sensible, and has a gentle and kind heart.

From childhood to adulthood, she has lived under the careful planning of her parents, and every step of her life has been arranged properly.

Although deep down I yearn for the vast world outside, I cannot refuse my parents' arrangements.

Lin Yuan asked: "Are your parents very strict with you?"

Guan Juer nodded gently, with a tone of helplessness and understanding: "It is very strict, but I also know that they are doing it for my own good. I have been used to it since I was a child."

Lin Yuan nodded gently and said gently: "In fact, parents don't want their children to take detours. If you can prove that your next job or future plans are more promising than your current job, I think your uncle and aunt will definitely support you.

Even if there is no way to prove it, I will take advantage of my youth and have unlimited opportunities to try and make mistakes. Even if I fail, I will not regret it in the future.

You can't live your whole life under the arrangement of your parents, right?"

Guan Juer nodded thoughtfully. She was eager to break through the status quo, but on the other hand, she was bound by years of habits and fear of the unknown, and always lacked the courage to take that step.

Lin Yuan didn't expect that his words would make Guan Juer, who had been a good girl for twenty-two years, quit her job immediately.

The Internet is so developed now, and inspirational quotes are everywhere. He just planted a small seed, using these words to bring him closer to her and pave the way for future communication.

Qiu Yingying was eating dumplings with relish, her cheeks bulging and she was enjoying the food so much.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan smiled and pushed a basket of soup dumplings between the two women. Qiu Yingying ate them in big mouthfuls, while Guan Juer maintained her usual reserved manner, chewing slowly, showing her ladylike demeanor.

Qiu Yingying said as she ate: "I have been feeling hungry lately. I want to go back to my hometown. I worked hard for a year without eating or drinking, and I was able to buy a two-square-meter house in a remote area. If I go back to my hometown and take the civil service exam, I won't have to live so fussily."

Lin Yuan found it funny. Qiu Yingying hadn’t even passed the CPA exam yet, yet she was still thinking about taking the civil service exam.

No matter how you look at it, it's more difficult to take the civil service exam.

I don’t know where Qiu Yingying gets her mysterious confidence from.

Guan Juer quickly said warmly: "Yingying, you can go and give it a try."

Qiu Yingying snorted in dissatisfaction and complained, "Don't mention it. When I mentioned going home, my dad went crazy and said, 'Children who go home have no future,' and told me to just get by in Shanghai. Look, he just transferred 5,000 yuan to me. To be honest, I'm already this old, and I still ask my family for money. I feel really bad, but I can't refuse."

Qiu Yingying is different from Guan Juer. She comes from a small county town and her parents are not well educated. They only know to send their children to the most developed city.

In their minds, having their children work in the most developed city in the country is a symbol of "success" and "prospects".

A strange look flashed across Lin Yuan's face. He thought that she only earned 4,000 yuan a month and rented such an expensive house. It would be strange if she didn't need help from her parents.

Qiu Yingying, Guan Juer and Fan Shengmei rent a house together in 2202 square meters. The rent alone is yuan per month, plus the property management fee, so on average each person has to pay about yuan.

Guan Juer comes from a well-off family and is not short of money; Fan Shengmei earns more than 10,000 yuan and has some bootlickers to help her from time to time; Qiu Yingying's family doesn't have any background either, so she is just asking for trouble by making such a fuss.

The same thing happened to Qiu's parents. They knew their daughter was as innocent as a blank sheet of paper, but they still felt comfortable leaving her in the Magic City where she was unfamiliar with the place.

Later, Manager Bai tricked me into losing my first time with just a piece of cake. That's really unheard of.

Of course, Lin Yuan would not say these words out loud to dislike others, he was just complaining in his heart. It is taboo to talk about deep things with people you just met. Everyone has his or her own way of living, and he would not meddle in other people's business.

Except for missions, of course.

Although the love affairs of the five happy beauties are mostly bumpy, since the system has issued the task, I should do my best to help.

He was also looking forward to what kind of reward he would receive.

Guan Juer put her hand on Qiu Yingying's arm, shook it gently, and comforted her: "Yingying, after you pass the CPA exam, your salary will at least double."

Qiu Yingying pouted, looking frustrated: "The CPA exam is not that easy. With my IQ, there is no chance of passing it."

Hearing the two talking about CPA again, Lin Yuan's thoughts drifted away and the image of Julie appeared in his mind.

Some intimate and private scenes when he was with her flashed uncontrollably. Those scenes were too beautiful. Lin Yuan took a deep breath, trying to suppress these memories that were not suitable for children.

After the three of them finished their meal, Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying accompanied Lin Yuan to a nearby supermarket to buy daily necessities and snacks.

Along the way, Qiu Yingying chattered non-stop, commenting on various products and was full of energy.

I have to say that although Qiu Yingying has many shortcomings, her enthusiasm is impeccable.

Guan Juer occasionally gave some practical suggestions in a low voice, which was very considerate.

The three of them returned to the Ode to Joy community, carrying bags full of things, chatting and laughing.

Qiu Yingying suddenly asked, "Brother Lin, Guan Guan and I were asked by our parents to stay in Shanghai. Why do you want to stay in Shanghai?"

"Well, I went to college in Shanghai. After graduation, I successfully found a job and have been here ever since." Lin Yuan's eyes naturally fell on Guan Juer's face. With a faint smile on his lips, he continued, "Maybe I have a destiny with Shanghai. I always feel that I will encounter some wonderful things here."

What a coincidence, I have traveled through four worlds, three of which are in Shanghai, and I guess there will be more in the future.

Guan Juer happened to meet his gaze, and in an instant, a blush quickly crept up her cheeks and her heartbeat began to accelerate uncontrollably.

She pursed her lips slightly and couldn't help but wonder secretly, Brother Lin wouldn't be talking to her.

Soon, the elevator dinged and arrived at the first floor from the underground floor.

The elevator door slowly opened, and Lin Yuan looked up and saw five people already standing inside.

Among them was a petite girl with short hair, wearing a red T-shirt and sunglasses, who was chewing gum casually.

The moment she saw Lin Yuan, Qu Xiaoxiao's eyes hidden behind her sunglasses suddenly lit up.

This scene seemed inexplicably familiar.

Sure enough, before Lin Yuan, Guan Juer, and Qiu Yingying had even stepped into the elevator, Qu's father was already muttering to Qu Xiaoxiao without any scruples: "The environment of this community is not good. There are too few green areas. The buildings are too close together, like pigeon cages. Is this a place for people to live?"

"And this elevator has such a small space. It's so crowded after just a few people got in. It's far inferior to the villa that Dad prepared for you."

"Besides, this is both a company and a rental house, and the people inside are too complicated. Your father is really worried about you, a girl, living here."

Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying both had tense faces. They looked at Lin Yuan who was standing between them silently. If this was not a place for people to live, then what were they?

Rich people can do this.

Such a nice house, yet they degraded it to this level.

Everyone says that Qu Xiaoxiao is uneducated. In Lin Yuan's opinion, this is a problem of family tradition. If the father is like this, how can he expect to raise a good daughter?

To put it bluntly, the Qu family is a nouveau riche that made their fortune by making short-term huge profits. They only know how to pursue external luxury to show their status. Compared with truly cultured wealthy people, they are not even a little bit inferior.

Lin Yuan was not the kind of person who would keep silent about his loss. He gently nudged Guan Juer with his arm and said, "Guan Guan, there is a bachelor in my hometown. When he smokes, he always likes to comment on other people's lighters. He thinks the one-dollar lighters are of poor quality, and the two-dollar lighters are simple. Guess why he stops mocking the five-dollar lighters?"

Guan Juer thought for a moment and said, "Because he used the five-dollar one himself?"

"That's right. He just wants to save some face by doing this, but he can't afford it no matter how expensive it is. Wouldn't it be a slap in the face if he continued to mock?"

Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying laughed out loud at the right time.

There were only a few people in the elevator, so Lin Yuan's hint shouldn't be too obvious.

Father Qu felt a little embarrassed and said angrily, "Hey, how can you talk like that?"

He is fine when he insults others without any scruples, but when it is his turn to be criticized, he immediately changes his expression.

Lin Yuan turned around and looked at Qu's father with disdain: "This is my style of speaking. If you don't like it, you can plug your ears. Some people forget the muddy path they took before they put on their trouser legs for a few days. They are not used to living in the pigeon house, so I think they will behave themselves once they live in the iron-barred room."

"You, you, you..." Although Lin Yuan did not say a single swear word, Qu's father was so angry that his face turned blue and he couldn't even talk back.

Seeing this, Qu's mother couldn't help but say, "What kind of quality do young people have nowadays. Xiaoxiao, your father is right. How can we feel at ease if you live here alone?"

Lin Yuan glanced at Qu Xiaoxiao and continued to speak with full force: "When your cute and well-behaved daughter was hanging out in bars and nightclubs, why didn't I see you worrying about her?"

Qu Xiaoxiao was just watching the fun, but she didn't expect Lin Yuan to suddenly point the finger at her. She immediately retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

She has always been a well-behaved and lovely person in front of her father, not to mention that this time she came back with the mission of fighting for the family property. How could she allow him to "slander and defame" her like this?

Lin Yuan looked at the petite Qu Xiaoxiao, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "I was just saying it casually, why are you reacting so strongly, did I get it right?"

When the driver and assistant in the elevator saw the boss and his family of three being "bullied", they immediately put down their luggage and were ready to squeeze over to settle the score with Lin Yuan.

Just then, the elevator made a "ding" sound and the door slowly opened.

Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows, his eyes sharp as torches, scanning the Qu family's group with a playful smile on his face, and said coldly: "If you want to cause trouble for me, you are welcome anytime. I live in room 2303 upstairs. Or, just follow me up now." Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying couldn't help feeling worried when they heard this. Guan Juer even gently pulled at the corner of Lin Yuan's clothes. Although Lin Yuan was also very strong, the other party were two big men after all. What if they suffered a loss?

Lin Yuan's light words actually frightened Qu's father.

Qu Xiaoxiao snorted: "2303, right? I'll remember it."

After saying that, he was the first to walk out of the elevator.

Qu's father and mother also glared at Lin Yuan fiercely, but ultimately did not say anything else.

I can't win the argument, and I don't dare to hit him.

I can only hold my anger for the time being.

Naturally, the driver and assistant had no choice but to carry their luggage and leave with them.

After the Qu family walked out of the elevator, the elevator continued to rise to the 23rd floor.

Qiu Yingying suddenly became excited and said, "Brother Lin, if it weren't for you today, we would have to come back and sulk by ourselves!"

Guan Juer nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, and looked at Lin Yuan with admiration: "Brother Lin, you were so handsome just now. You didn't even say a single swear word, but you made them speechless."

After she finished speaking, a trace of worry appeared in her eyes again, and she continued: "But what if they really do it? Will they come to trouble you again later?"

Lin Yuan smiled and consoled him: "We live in a society ruled by law now. Whoever strikes first will suffer. Besides, I'm a good fighter."

Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying helped him carry the bags and followed him all the way to 2303.

Lin Yuan took out the key and opened the door. Looking at the two people still standing outside the door, he warmly invited them: "Guan Guan, Ying Ying, would you please come in and sit down?"

Guan Juer was a little worried and asked cautiously, "Brother Lin, would your roommate mind?"

Lin Yuan smiled and explained: "Of course not, because I am the only one living here."

As he spoke, he took out two pairs of slippers from the bag in his hand, tore off the labels on them, and handed them to them.

When Qiu Yingying heard this, she immediately trotted into the living room and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Brother Lin, you live in such a big house alone?"

"There is no other way. My work needs to be done in a quiet environment. Otherwise, if I have a noisy roommate, it will affect my work state."

Qiu Yingying was full of curiosity, and like a curious baby, she immediately asked, "Brother Lin, does your side job make so much money? How much did you earn?"

"Yingying."

Guan Juer pulled at the corner of Qiu Yingying's clothes. Although she was one year younger than Qiu Yingying, she was much more thoughtful than her. How could she ask such a private question so directly?

Lin Yuan didn't mind at all, and said gently: "Guan Guan, it's okay. Since you are honest with me, I shouldn't hide it from you. I found a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows 10 before and received a bonus of 10 US dollars."

"Huh?" "Huh?"

The two girls opened their mouths at the same time, shock written all over their faces, which made Lin Yuan think of some happy things.

Qiu Yingying began to count on her fingers: "If I find ten more, I can buy a house here!"

10 US dollars. Even if she doesn't spend a penny of her salary, how many years will it take her to save that much money?

Lin Yuan laughed uncontrollably: "If there are ten vulnerabilities of this level, then Microsoft's development team can go home and take a rest."

Qiu Yingying pouted, smiled foolishly and scratched her head: "That's right."

Lin Yuan took two bottles of iced mineral water from the refrigerator, handed them to them, and then said, "You can look around. It's a good opportunity for you to help me find out what's missing in my room."

2303 is a large apartment with spacious space, much larger than 2202 where they live.

Guan Juer slowly walked to Lin Yuan's study. When she saw the bookshelves filled with a dazzling array of books, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Brother Lin, you have so many books here."

"Books are the ladder of human progress." Lin Yuan walked forward, his eyes full of love, "I am very interested in books on history, philosophy, and mysticism, and I am also writing my own works. These books can provide me with a lot of inspiration."

Guan Juer was shocked again, "Brother Lin, are you still writing a book?"

Lin Yuan subconsciously covered her mouth gently, and then whispered, "Speak softly, don't let Yingying hear it."

Guan Juer's face instantly turned slightly red, like a ripe apple, and she nodded gently.

Lin Yuan lowered his voice and said, "As the old saying goes, secrets are the key to success. I have no idea how the book I'm writing is doing. If Yingying, who has such a big mouth, knew about it, I'm really afraid she would spread it everywhere. Let's just keep it as a little secret between the two of us, okay?"

Guan Juer nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling, and whispered in the same voice: "Yes, Brother Lin, can I know the title of your book?"

“Of course, I’ll send it to you on WeChat later.”

Guan Juer's heart was beating like a little rabbit. It was so ambiguous for two people to keep a secret together.

Not long after, Qiu Yingying also walked into the study, looking puzzled: "What are you doing in there?"

Guan Juer hurriedly explained: "I didn't do anything, I was just reading these books."

Qiu Yingying looked at Lin Yuan and said, "Brother Lin, you have everything here. I don't think there is anything missing."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work today. You helped me carry so many things. I will treat you to a meal in two days."

Guan Juer waved her hand with a sweet smile on her face: "Well, then Brother Lin, we will go back first."

Qiu Yingying also waved her hand: "Brother Lin, if you have something to say, come down and find us, or send us a message."

"Yeah, so do you."

……

At around ten o'clock in the evening, the quiet of the community was broken by a burst of noise.

After Qu Xiaoxiao saw off her father and mother, she called over a bunch of friends and had a lively party in room 2203.

Lin Yuan, who lived upstairs, clearly felt the vibrations coming from under his feet, and the piercing noise penetrated into his ears unimpeded.

Qu Xiaoxiao was used to having fun abroad, and even after returning to China, she still doesn't know how to restrain herself. She is too inconsiderate of other people's feelings.

Guan Juer took out her cell phone and sent a WeChat message to Lin Yuan.

Guan Juer: Brother Lin, are you asleep?

Lin Yuan: Not yet

Guan Juer: Did you hear the noise downstairs?

Lin Yuan: I heard it. It's really noisy down there. How are you guys doing over there?

Guan Juer: The noise is so loud that I can't sleep at all. But we have already contacted the property management.

Lin Yuan: It's probably useless to contact the property management. I'll just call the police and let them talk to them.
Lin Yuan exited WeChat and called the police directly.

2203. Qu Xiaoxiao had just sent the property management away, and not long after, the police came to her door again.

Only after the group of people honestly said that they would not make any more noise did the police leave.

Qu Xiaoxiao was so angry that she was embarrassed by the handsome guy from room 2303 in the elevator on her first day here. She called her friends to celebrate in the evening, but it actually attracted the police.

Qu Xiaoxiao and a group of people knocked hard on the door of room 2202.

Guan Juer opened the door weakly, and Qu Xiaoxiao looked at her and asked, "Did you call the police?"

Guan Juer didn’t know how to answer. Although she was not the one who called the police, it did have something to do with her.

Qiu Yingying stood aside to encourage Guan Juer, and shouted confidently: "Why are you so fierce? You have been arguing for so long, we just told the property management."

"If you didn't call the police, then who did?"

At this time, the door of room 2201 also opened and Andy walked out.

Lin Yuan also walked down the stairs from the 23rd floor and headed directly towards the direction where the crowd was gathering.

When Guan Juer saw Lin Yuan appear, she felt much calmer, as if she had found a backbone.

Now the five beauties are gathered together for the first time.

Speaking of the five beauties, Lin Yuan is actually most interested in Guan Juer and Andy.

Guan Juer is a good girl. She may not look stunning at first sight, but she is a good girl who is worth looking at. She also has a good personality and is the type of girl that every man wants to marry.

Andy, an ice beauty, which man can resist her?

I'd like to add one more thing. I didn't expect that Wu Tao and Liu Tao are also gods.

As for Fan Shengmei and Qu Xiaoxiao, if you only look at their appearance, they still have some redeeming qualities, but it's a pity that one is a gold digger and the other is a sea queen.

Especially Fan Shengmei, who looks down on the poor and gives to the rich. A shopping card worth 2,000 yuan and a skirt worth 10,000 yuan can make her eager to propose to Qu Lianjie. It's too cheap.

As for Qiu Yingying, she is a simpleton with no brains. She is cute but also really simple-minded. In the play, the other four beauties worry about Manager Bai's affairs for her, but she complains about them and blames others for having ulterior motives. But except for Qu Xiaoxiao who is in a playful mood, at least the other three are thinking about her.
