At the beginning, Gu Jia and Jiang Nansun were intercepted, and Qiao Yingzi pursued them

"I would have forgotten about this if you hadn't mentioned it. Can you take me with you on the new project?"

Qin Fan frowned. "Yan Peng, don't think I'm being harsh. You really don't have the ability. I put you on the project team. If you're late and leave early every day, and you're absent for no reason, do you think I should scold you or turn a blind eye?"

"Let me scold you. With our relationship, it's embarrassing for you and I feel uncomfortable too. But if I don't say anything, you won't do your job well. After all, you have a criminal record."

Yan Peng scratched his head and said, "How about this? I don't want you to pay me a salary. Just give me a position in the project team and I'll go and learn and gain some experience."

Qin Fan said unhappily, "I think you want to go out and relax?"

"Haha, you've seen through it. Change the environment and relieve your depressed mood."

"You're so heartless and repressed! Why can't I believe it?"

Qin Fan then teased, "Speaking of which, if you go out, what will happen to your wife and children?"

"Don't worry, Tian Yulan and I are completely at loggerheads now. Neither of us is willing to give in. I'm just worried about this, so I want to go out for a walk."

"It's better to go out for a walk than to play games all day. Fine, I'll give you a position on the project team."

"Okay, my brother Shan is still good to me!"

"Okay, I have a call coming in, I'll hang up first."

……

He Minhong was quite depressed.

Last time, Qin Fan threatened me in the elevator. Not only did he add me on WeChat, but I was also forced to agree to treat him to a meal.

Just eat, it’s just a meal.

But unexpectedly, Qin Fan brought her to Jingmi Restaurant, a high-end Western restaurant where the average cost per person was 800 yuan.

What's even more outrageous is that Qin Fan also ordered a bottle of red wine that cost more than 10,000 yuan.

He Minhong wanted to cry but had no tears. "Boss Qin, I don't have enough money. How about buying a cheaper bottle of wine?"

"If you don't bring enough money, I'll force you to wash dishes. If you want to treat me to a meal, you should be prepared to do so."

"But I didn't ask you to drink such expensive red wine..."

Qin Fan's face darkened as he asked her, "So, you're not going to treat me to a drink?"

"I...I didn't mean that...I want to buy you a drink, but I don't have enough money."

Her voice became softer and softer as she spoke, and if Qin Fan didn't have good hearing, he wouldn't be able to hear what she was saying.

After this meal, He Minhong couldn’t even afford boxed lunches for the next two months. He was almost crying.

Is this how you bully people? I want to protest!

He Minhong was the timidest of all the women Qin Fan had ever met. As long as he acted fierce enough, she would be frightened and tremble like a little quail.

Even if I was unwilling in my heart, I dared not express my objection.

Seeing the girl's eyes filled with tears, as if she might cry at any moment, Qin Fan felt amused and changed seats to sit next to her.

"You have to understand, as a top-tier billionaire, my standard for a meal is just like this. I'm not deliberately raising it just because you're treating me."

"I know you rich people live extravagant lives, and I want to live up to your standards, but with my meager monthly salary, I have to pay for rent, utilities, and living expenses. Even if I save for half a year, I still might not be able to afford a meal like this."

Qin Fan nodded. "You're right. I was inconsiderate. How about this? I can lend you the money for this meal. You have to pay me back one thousand every month until I pay you back."

"Really?" He Minhong's worry turned into joy.

"Of course, how can I, a billionaire, deceive you?"

"Thank you. I'll write you an IOU now."

Qin Fan tried hard to hold back his laughter. The person you thanked was the culprit for your empty wallet.

.......

641: Deliberately targeted! He Minhong is in trouble!

He Minhong is a very funny girl. In the original drama, she tried her best to act stupid in order to take the blame. She did not grow at all from beginning to end. All she did was to attract hatred.

For example, Song Li, the cartoonist who had teased her twice in a row, approached her for cooperation for the third time and wanted her to write an article criticizing the author of Fan Hai Ji. He Minhong agreed even though she knew that the author of Fan Hai Ji was Ye Zhenzhen's friend.

In this matter, He Minhong did three extremely stupid things in total.

1. Cooperate again with the scheming bitch who deceived you.

Second, she wrote the article and offended her neighbor's friend, who was the only one among the four girls who was nice to her.

Third, I didn’t even mention Ye Zhenzhen before posting the article.

Even if she had told Ye Zhenzhen in advance that she was currently unemployed and financially strapped and urgently needed the royalties to alleviate her financial pressure, Ye Zhenzhen would have understood her given her personality.

But she didn't say anything and just sent it.

As the matter developed, He Minhong started to blame Ye Zhenzhen.

He believed that the review he wrote analyzed Fan Hai Ji from a fair and objective perspective, while Ye Zhenzhen's friend's rebuttal article was pure insults.

She believed that Ye Zhenzhen knew that her friend was scolding her, but she allowed it to happen. This proved that Ye Zhenzhen was a woman who appeared warm on the surface but was actually dark inside...

This also shows He Minhong's extremely selfish psychological state.

She hadn't said hello in advance, and hadn't taken the initiative to explain to Ye Zhenzhen afterwards. She hadn't done anything, yet she blamed Ye Zhenzhen for watching all this happen, blaming her for not understanding her...

This one incident shows how weird this drama is.

Huan San can be said to have set a precedent for a generation, telling later creators that if they can't write a character with high IQ and EQ, it doesn't matter, as long as we create a character who is even dumber than her to serve as a foil.

"I heard that you and Yu Chuhui have been having some trouble recently?"

Upon hearing this question, He Minhong immediately became more talkative.

"She and I seem to be born to clash. A few days ago, she showed Sister Zhu the post I made about her, and even mocked me for my low character. She stabbed me in the back, so isn't that also a sign of low character?"

Qin Fan asked, "Why did you comment on Zhu Zhe in your circle of friends? Are you afraid she won't see it?"

"I believe that when dealing with people, we should judge by their actions rather than their intentions. I was just recording my thoughts and observations. I actually have no ill will towards Sister Zhu, but Yu Chuhui misinterpreted it."

Looking at He Minhong's indignant expression, Qin Fan didn't know what to say.

"Do you know what Moments does? Everything you post can be seen by your WeChat friends. It's perfectly fine to record your random thoughts, but when you post it on Moments, it implies that you want to share these random thoughts with your friends."

"Since you want others to read what you wrote, you must be careful with your wording, or you should just block them both and prevent them from seeing it. You didn't do anything, but you blame others for misinterpreting it. That's your own problem."

He Minhong became unhappy when he heard this.

"How can it be my fault? I really have no ill will towards Sister Zhu. It's Yu Chuhui who is stirring up trouble behind the scenes..."

You mocked the old cucumber for being painted green, and you mocked Yu Chuhui for being a socialite. Do you say you have no ill intentions?

What a liar!

Qin Fan was extremely speechless. "Silly child, some things can be foreseen! For example, yesterday I could foresee that I would be sitting here with you for lunch today because we had an appointment."

"When you post something sarcastic on your Moments, you should have anticipated how others would react."

"To put it another way, even if you're simple-minded and can't foresee these things, you can just record it on your phone and not send it out. But if you do send it out, you have to be mentally prepared to bear the consequences."

"Obviously, you're not mentally prepared for this, which is why you blame Yu Chuhui for sowing discord."

Talking to He Minhong is basically the same as talking to Xia Huanhuan. He Minhong is just like a mentally retarded giant baby.

"So, I really did something wrong?"

"You just said to judge by actions, not by intentions. The premise of this statement is that you shouldn't reveal your thoughts. Even if you accidentally reveal them, you can't let the person who is doing them discover them. Now you've ridiculed your roommate, and he's found out. This makes you look stupid and mean."

He Minhong pouted, looking depressed, and didn't even bother to pay attention to Qin Fan scolding him in person.

"I know I'm always a little slow to react, but I have a passionate desire to express myself. I always have so many ideas that they're almost overflowing. I don't want to, but I just can't help but want to record them."

"You can create a Word document and write it down slowly. You can write as long as you want. No one will know. If someone really peeks into your computer, it will definitely be her fault."

He Minhong suddenly realized, "You didn't even seem to ask me how I evaluated Sister Zhu and Yu Chuhui. You were just helping me analyze the issue of posting on WeChat Moments."

"It doesn't matter what you think of them. There are few people in this world who are truly free of malicious thoughts. I also have people I hate, and I will privately curse my enemies to bankrupt their investments and be separated from their families, but I never express these malicious thoughts publicly."

He Minhong understood what Qin Fan meant. This was actually a very simple truth, but He Minhong himself didn't understand it and liked to write all sorts of messy things to offend people everywhere.

"...But Yu Chuhui has been so stubborn with me so many times. Doesn't she have any faults at all? Besides, I've already apologized to Sister Zhu, and she's forgiven me. But Yu Chuhui is so stubborn that she can't let me off the hook without scolding me every time we meet."

Qin Fan felt a toothache after hearing this. Why is this girl so stupid?

"You definitely didn't apologize to Yu Chuhui?"

He Minhong's pupils dilated, his eyes lost focus, and then he felt annoyed.

"I was wondering why Yu Chuhui was always picking on me. So this is what made her angry. I only apologized to Sister Zhu and not to her. She must have thought I looked down on her, so she's resentful and targeting me maliciously."

After figuring out why Yu Chuhui repeatedly targeted him, He Minhong made a decision.

"In that case, I'll apologize to her after get off work. She shouldn't be targeting me anymore, right?"

Surprisingly, Qin Fan rejected her idea, "That's no longer necessary."

"why?"

"You've offended Yu Chuhui twice in a row, and she has developed a deep dislike for you. An apology alone won't resolve the misunderstanding."

"Actually, your relationship has evolved to this point. Whether there's a misunderstanding or not is no longer important. On the contrary, because you've lowered your stance, she'll become even more aggressive against you."

If we say that He Minhong was targeted by Yu Chuhui at the beginning and a large part of the responsibility was due to He Minhong's own mistakes, then later when He Minhong was collectively isolated by the four women, he seemed very innocent.

Throughout the whole play, He Minhong has been caught in a vicious cycle of doing wrong things - being criticized - and apologizing. He slowly sinks into it and in the end cannot get out.

In addition, Yu Chuhui's various verbal abuses gradually destroyed He Minhong's self-confidence, making her feel that dealing with people was too scary. She gradually closed herself off and stopped interacting with anyone.

He Minhong seemed to understand, "Then how can I resolve the conflict with her?"

.......

642: You’re welcome, He Minhong is drawing…!

Qin Fan replied, "When you've offended someone so deeply, forget about trying to resolve the misunderstanding. It's useless. Just ignore her. If she dares to confront you in the future, confront her face to face. Be firm."

He Minhong shrank his neck, looking frightened.

"I wouldn't dare. You don't know how eloquent Yu Chuhui is. I can't win an argument with her at all."

As she spoke, she sighed, "If people could communicate with each other through writing instead of talking, then I'm sure no one would be inferior to me."

Qin Fan: "If you can't win the argument, just beat her up. Why are you saying so many unreasonable words? When facing someone who is unreasonable but still wants to make trouble, don't be polite to her. The worst that can happen is that you can go to the police station together."

He Minhong was dumbfounded. "You want me to hit her? I wouldn't dare to do that..."

"So, when you're wronged, you just complain privately or write a Weibo post to imply something about the other person?"

Feeling the sting in Qin Fan's words, He Minhong could only remain silent.

Seeing that the girl seemed to be overly shocked, Qin Fan slowed down his tone and helped her analyze Yu Chuhui's character.

"I don't know if you've ever had this experience, or if you've come across similar examples around you, but in a small group of more than three people, there's often this type of person who, upon joining the group, instinctively seeks out the weakest and most vulnerable member."

"Once they find someone, they will spare no effort to bully the weaker one, using this method to curry favor with the strongest in the group and show that they share their stance."

"To put it bluntly, it's flattering the powerful and bullying the weak."

"I'm not sure whether you and Yu Chuhui have different personalities, or if Yu Chuhui is just that kind of person. If she often complains in front of Zhu Zhe and Ye Zhenzhen, saying that you are too well protected by your family, that you are too naive, or that you are stupid..."

"She criticizes you with all sorts of sharp and harsh words. The answer is self-evident. She just wants to step on you and show off her high emotional intelligence."

He Minhong recalled what happened after moving to 2202. It seemed that no matter what he said, Yu Chuhui would get the chance to retort him. It seemed that this was really possible.

"Brother Qin, are you saying that Yu Chuhui doesn't have any issues with me at all, but is trying to get close to Sister Zhu and Zhenzhen by stepping on me?"

"I haven't had much contact with Yu Chuhui, but from what I've observed, she's quite clever, especially good at taking advantage of the environment around her. People like her tend to be short-sighted, only caring about tangible benefits."

He Minhong suddenly remembered something. "Now that you mention it, I remember that early this morning, Yu Chuhui put a yoga mat by the door to practice stretching. She used to only practice on the balcony, and usually after get off work. I was wondering why she got up so early to practice by the door."

"Later, when I came back from buying breakfast, I saw her go to Zhenzhen's house. She was stretching at the door, actually, she was waiting for Zhenzhen to wake up."

"What are you waiting for Zhenzhen for?" Qin Fan asked following up on her words.

"It's like this. We sat for a while at Zhenzhen's house a couple of days ago. While chatting, Yu Chuhui asked Zhenzhen to help her keep an eye out for a better job. She wanted to change jobs."

Qin Fan was stunned. "We've only known each other for a few days, are you so reckless?"

"I also think she shouldn't force it. After all, we've only been living here for a short time, and our relationship with Zhenzhen isn't that close. But Yu Chuhui doesn't seem to think so. He's trying to take advantage of any opportunity he gets, and he's even demanding a high salary and a job he enjoys."
