Hu Yue opened the door, somewhat annoyed, just wanting to have a showdown with Qu Xiaoxiao outside.

However, it turned out that the person knocking on the door was not Qu Xiaoxiao at all, but another girl he didn't know.

She was immediately taken aback.

"Excuse me, are you..."

She wasn't a resident of this building and didn't know the girl in front of her at all, so she just asked directly.

"Um, my name is Qiu Yingying, and I live on the 22nd floor downstairs."

"I'm Qin Xuan's neighbor. Is this Qin Xuan's house?"

"I came here to ask if they have a ladder."

"Our light bulb is broken. We originally wanted to ask the property management to come and fix it, but then we found out that the person on duty was busy and it would probably take another two hours to come."

"We thought we could change the light bulb ourselves, but we didn't have a ladder."

"So I came to see if Qin Xuan had any..."

Qiu Yingying stated her purpose very directly.

They had been together all day, and it was getting dark; they had even eaten dinner.

Tao Wuji and Cheng Jiayuan both felt that it was time for them to go back and give Qin Xuan and Hu Yue some private space.

Just then, Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer came over together.

Qiu Yingying is quite outgoing and talkative, while Guan Juer is just keeping her company.

She didn't dare to say much, and she didn't usually take the initiative to interact with people.

She was feeling a little awkward facing the unfamiliar Hu Yue.

Upon hearing this, Hu Yue nodded and said, "Oh, Qin Xuan is packing his things inside. I'll go ask him if he has a ladder."

Then, Hu Yue turned around and called out a few words into the house, explaining the purpose of the two girls' visit.

Qin Xuan came over and saw that it was indeed Qiu Yingying and the others.

Qiu Yingying quickly greeted Qin Xuan, "Hi, Qin Xuan, I'm sorry to bother you. We'd like to borrow a ladder for a moment, do you have one?"

Qin Xuan nodded: "Yes, I'll go get it for you right away. Use it as you like, just return it to me when you're done."

"But, are you girls even capable of fixing your own electrical circuits?"

"No, I'll have one of my buddies come over and help you out. He's probably better at this than you girls."

Cheng Jiayuan had just heard the noise outside the door, so he peeked out and saw two beautiful young women outside. He quickly smiled sheepishly.

At this moment, Qin Xuan unexpectedly pushed him forward, and he immediately scratched his head shyly.

Qin Xuan said in a low voice, "Brother, I'm afraid Hu Yue will misunderstand. Why don't you go and help them out?"

“Those two girls have it tough, so let’s help them out since we’re here. I still need to tidy up a bit, so I’ll take Hu Yue and you all back later.”

At this moment, Qin Xuan couldn't help but think of some things about Qiu Yingying.

Because he had already seen that Qiu Yingying had a life mission.

[Target: Qiu Yingying, Affection Level: 60. Life Mission: Prevent Qiu Yingying from being harmed by the scumbag Manager Bai.]

[A special reward will be given upon completion of the task.]

To be honest, Qin Xuan really didn't like Qiu Yingying's personality.

The main problem is that this girl sometimes lacks a sense of boundaries and likes to meddle in everything.

Most importantly, she's a blabbermouth. If anything happens, Qiu Yingying will have the whole world knowing by the next day.

Moreover, she wasn't Qin Xuan's type.

As for Cheng Jiayuan, this guy is a pretty good person, and his family is well-off.

He also knew that in the original storyline, Cheng Jiayuan had pursued Hu Yue.

But now Hu Yue has long been in his arms, and has nothing to do with Cheng Jiayuan anymore.

Qin Xuan had always felt that he could introduce Cheng Jiayuan to some other girls in the future.

Now the opportunity has arrived, hasn't it?

Of the five women in Ode to Joy, Qin Xuan is only interested in Andy and Guan Juer.

Qu Xiaoxiao is a little devil, always causing trouble, and he finds her too noisy.

Fan Shengmei is ordinary yet confident, and has a high opinion of herself. Unfortunately, she has a bunch of parasitic family members behind her, which causes her a lot of trouble.

Both of them were big trouble, so Qin Xuan naturally had no interest in them.

For a well-behaved girl like Guan Juer, it's actually quite difficult for others to win her heart.

Cheng Jiayuan probably wouldn't find Guan Guan's type very appealing. Qiu Yingying, on the other hand, is someone he might consider.

Anyway, let's make friends first, which will also help Qin Xuan solve a problem.

Moreover, Qiu Yingying's mission for Qin Xuan was to help him stop scumbags.

Since Qin Xuan didn't want to get involved himself, it was best to use Cheng Jiayuan as a shield.

Doesn’t this kill two birds with one stone?

Although Cheng Jiayuan was a little chubby, he was actually quite good-looking.

If all else fails, Qin Xuan will use traditional Chinese medicine to help him lose weight.

Once we improve our image, everything will be much easier. Let's have this brother help advance the mission for now, and then we can take things slowly and methodically.

Cheng Jiayuan was stunned for a moment at first, but since he was told to go help the girls, he was sent by Qin Xuan in a daze.

Qiu Yingying was also a bit confused. She originally wanted to ask Qin Xuan for help, but another chubby guy came instead.

She felt bad about kicking them out since they were kind enough to help, especially since she had invited them herself.

Cheng Jiayuan took the ladder and went up to 2202.

Fan Shengmei was originally waiting for the two girls to bring that handsome young man over.

She was completely dumbfounded to find that a fat man had come.

She couldn't help but glance at her two girlfriends and ask, "What's going on here?"

Qiu Yingying quickly explained:

"Oh, this is Qin Xuan's friend..."

Cheng Jiayuan quickly followed suit and introduced himself:

"Hello, my name is Cheng Jiayuan. I am Qin Xuan's colleague and friend. Qin Xuan is busy packing at home and doesn't have time to come over for a while, so he asked me to come and help him out."

"I do some electrical work sometimes, so don't worry, ladies, I'll get it done quickly and it won't affect your use."

Cheng Jiayuan was quite eloquent and explained the problem clearly in no time.

Fan Shengmei was a little disappointed when she heard that they hadn't invited the handsome young man over, but then she immediately had other ideas.

"Oh, thank you so much, handsome."

"Be careful, is this ladder sturdy enough? Do you need us to help you hold it?"

Fan Shengmei was worried that Cheng Jiayuan's size might cause the ladder to collapse...

Of course, she didn't really want to hold up the ladder; she was afraid that if the ladder fell, she would get hit.

Cheng Jiayuan immediately replied, "It's alright, the ladder is sturdy, I can do it myself."

To be honest, despite Cheng Jiayuan's chubby appearance, he is actually very efficient when it comes to getting things done.

With just a few quick movements, the light bulb was changed.

Then, they came down decisively and without saying a word, they prepared to leave with the ladder, without any intention of lingering.

This actually increased the girls' liking for him.

After all, he's an honest and polite young man.

Instead of letting them leave immediately, Fan Shengmei stopped Cheng Jiayuan and handed him a glass of water.

"Hey, young man, don't rush off. You've helped us, have a glass of water before you go."

"You came and went in such a hurry, only helping us. It would be so embarrassing."

Unable to refuse Cheng Jiayuan's hospitality, he accepted the cup and took a sip of water. Taking the opportunity, Fan Shengmei casually asked:

"You just mentioned that you and our upstairs neighbor Qin Xuan are colleagues. Is your work at the bank tiring?"

Fan Shengmei works in human resources management (HR), and has interacted with many people, making her very good at observing others.

At this moment, she couldn't help but inquire about some information about Qin Xuan.

Cheng Jiayuan didn't see anything wrong with it; it was just casual conversation, so he answered without thinking.

"It's alright. We're new employees and still adjusting."

Upon hearing the other person's words, Fan Shengmei gave a knowing look:

"Oh, so you guys graduated not long ago."

"You're so young! I really envy you young people these days. You have such bright futures ahead of you. Keep up the good work!"

Cheng Jiayuan smiled and took another sip of water.

Fan Shengmei changed her mind, wanting to get more useful information out of the guy in front of her.
