Chapter 442: Outspoken
While Shen Yanming found it funny, it was not difficult to see the other party's embarrassment. He smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite? How can our feelings be expressed with just a gift?"
Then he made way for the door and said, "Don't be polite, come in and sit down. Look, as the host, I haven't prepared anything good to entertain you."
Although Shen Yanming's words were not so pleasant to hear, they made several people secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
They were really afraid of being warmly welcomed at someone's home, so it would be too embarrassing to visit without any preparation.
However, they still underestimated Shen Yanming. Since there were guests coming, he still had to entertain them, otherwise it would be embarrassing for everyone.
He stood up and made a pot of tea, then poured a cup for each person. "Everyone, sit down and rest for a while. I still have some preparations to make. Once everything is ready, we'll set off."
Yu Shui nodded, "You go ahead and do your work, there's no rush."
Zhu Shiliang was a little embarrassed, "Did we come too early? You two haven't eaten yet?"
Chen Yanming smiled and shook his head, "You think too much, we ate right after we got to the dormitory. We didn't cook it fresh, we just heated up some leftovers, so it was quick."
"So what's your house like?" Although Zhu Shiliang didn't say it directly, his eyes were fixed on the kitchen door.
So did several others.
There's no way, the fragrance is just too overbearing and too alluring.
Shen Yanming smiled, "I have some dried mushrooms at home, and I thought of frying them and bringing them over as a snack for everyone."
As soon as these words fell, it was discovered that the cheeks of the people sitting there turned red.
It's not that they didn't consider bringing gifts, but they were trapped in the guard team and had nothing, so they really had nothing to give.
Shen Yanming knew the situation very well, and he comforted them, "Don't think too much, it's good enough as long as you have the intention. Besides, you live in the dormitory, so even if you want to do something, you are powerless. Why not let me show my ability this time and do my part for everyone."
His words were well-reasoned and neither arrogant nor humble. They neither hurt others' self-esteem nor showed his good intentions.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the faces of several people improved a lot, and they smiled and thanked Shen Yanming: "Thanks to you, otherwise it would be embarrassing for us to go there."
Chen Yanming waved his hand, "We are all one, why should we be so polite. Besides, it's not something precious, just some dried mushrooms. If you really feel bad about it, just return it to me when you go to work next Monday."
"Hehe, that's good. This way I won't be embarrassed." Yu Shui smiled and touched his quiff.
Zhu Shiliang also nodded and said, "I'll go home and return it to you at the weekend."
Chen Qing and Cui Xian also wanted to express their opinions, but were interrupted by Shen Yanming with a smile, "You are really polite when I say you are polite. Don't you think that I didn't prepare much? How can you return it to me? Each of you give me a handful of dried mushrooms? These are not melon seeds or peanuts that can be eaten with a handful."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, we won't be polite to you this time. If you need any help in the future, just come to us."
Chen Yanming was not polite, "Of course we are from the same place, so we are closer than others."
"Of course!" Zhu Shiliang nodded.
Chen Yanming slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I was so busy chatting with you guys. I'm still frying dried mushrooms in the pot. Don't let them burn."
As he said that, he hurried back to the kitchen.
After he left, Yu Shui looked at Bi Qiaoan, who was quietly curled up in the corner of the sofa, and asked, "Why don't you speak? This is not like your style."
Bi Qiaoan rolled her eyes and said, "You guys are busy talking to my husband, Mr. Shen. Why should I, a pregnant woman, butt in on the conversation? Besides, this is not my style. Giving my husband enough face has always been my style."
Yu Shui clicked his tongue, "You two haven't had enough of showing off your affection. Are you really going to stuff me to death?"
Bi Qiaoan chuckled and said proudly, "Who told you to come here to be tortured?"
"Come on, I can't argue with you!" Yu Shui followed the principle of not bullying pregnant women, changed the subject, and looked around, "Would it be convenient for me to take a look?"
Bi Qiaoan nodded, "Please do as you please!"
This is the dormitory, and she and Shen Yanming usually pay attention to not taking out inappropriate things. Moreover, after returning home today, she specially checked the house again.
So, at this moment, I am not really afraid of them wandering around.
After getting approval, Yu Shui stood up excitedly and looked around the room.
Zhu Shiliang and the others couldn't resist their curiosity and followed him, but their gazes were not as presumptuous.
Actually, the area here is very small, and they have very few things. To be honest, there is really nothing to see.
But the house was filled with furniture, and the kitchen and bathroom were complete. Compared with their dormitory, it was much better.
After the tour, Yu Shui was a little jealous. He looked at Bi Qiaoan with envy, "If you were not my buddies, I would really like to report you. The conditions are too good."
Bi Qiaoan's eyebrows jumped, and he thought, "What kind of heart-piercing words did this bastard say? If he didn't know that he was not that kind of person, just based on this sentence, his old Shen would have cut off his friendship with him.
Moreover, the speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Who can guarantee that everyone present will always be on the same page with them? If someone betrays them, wouldn't they be sure to cause trouble in the future? "
Therefore, it must be nipped in the bud.
She smiled sinisterly, "Although I know you don't mean it, but tell us what you want to report?"
Yu Shui choked and laughed awkwardly, "Well, I, I was just talking nonsense. I was blinded by jealousy, but I definitely didn't mean to hurt anyone. Otherwise, I wouldn't have said it directly."
Bi Qiaoan nodded, "I know, that's why I didn't kick you out directly. But Yu Shui, the mouth is the source of trouble. No one can say for sure whether your two slips of the tongue will bring us trouble.
You know, since ancient times, what is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth. Even if Yanming and I have good reasons to live here, there will still be rumors outside.
People who don’t like us will seize on small problems and make them into big ones. At that time, who can we turn to for justice?”
Yu Shui realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly apologized.
Bi Qiaoan didn't insist on it. He just said these words to remind them to be more careful.
In fact, when they moved into the second-floor apartment, some people actually said some sour things about them. Some people were even more cunning and wanted to bring them down.
But later, as rumors about Bi Qiaoan's powerful background intensified, those people gradually gave up the idea.
After all, they have a big boss backing them up, so even if they use some shady tricks, it probably won't be of any use.
If you end up losing yourself, it won't be worth it.
However, at this time, Bi Qiaoan didn't know that the half-true and half-false rumor helped her avoid so much trouble.
