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

In the entire 2202, the person who is the most difficult to talk to is actually He Minhong.

She is an only child and has never worried about life since she was a child, so she has developed a relatively self-centered personality.

Zhu Zhe, on the other hand, has too much social experience and has the same attitude towards everyone, trying not to offend anyone if possible.

If Qin Fan was Yu Chuhui, he would definitely deal with He Minhong first. Then it would be easy to deal with Zhu Zhe in a two-on-one situation.

Of course, it is also possible that Yu Chuhui had no intention of tricking He Minhong, but was just habitually playing the victim in front of the sisters, and unexpectedly the effect was unexpectedly good.

He Minhong foolishly came forward and asked Yu Chuhui to take the person over.

Just when Qin Fan was thinking about how to make He Minhong realize Yu Chuhui's trick, she sent another voice message.

"In order to trick her mother into coming to Shanghai, Yu Chuhui bandaged both arms and lied that he was bitten by a dog while walking in the neighborhood. He sent a video to her mother asking for help. Her mother was so worried that she rushed over the next day."

Qin Fan had no interest in how Yu Chuhui tricked her mother away.

"You're sharing a house with three people. The space isn't big to begin with, and if you squeeze in another person, the living space will be even smaller. Did you consider this issue before asking Yu Chuhui to pick up her mother?"

"You know, Yu Chuhui brought her mother here with the intention of staying long-term. This won't happen in a day or two. It will take at least a year and a half."

He Minhong strongly disagreed with Qin Fan's point of view.

"Brother Qin, you seem so cold and indifferent to me for being so petty. Her mother was almost beaten to death by her father. How can you just ignore her? What kind of person would I be then?"

Qin Fan curled his lips and said, "You say I'm cold now, but when you bring the drunk Yu Feixue back to the house in the future and those two women firmly disagree, you will know what coldness means."

Yu Feixue is only staying for one day because she is drunk, but Yu's mother is going to stay for a long time!

"Are you very familiar with Yu Chuhui? Does she treat you as a close friend? Does she treat you with respect when she talks to you on a daily basis?"

He Minhong didn't know how to answer.

"Helping others is a good thing, but you have to know the limits of your abilities and only provide assistance within your capabilities. You don't actually have the ability to save Yu's mother. If you simply want her to stay away from Yu's father, then you'll have to be prepared for four people to line up in the restroom every day."

This time He Minhong had something to say.

"I've already thought of what you said. I can get up ten minutes earlier than usual so that I can use the bathroom at different times."

Qin Fan felt a toothache when he heard this.

"He Minhong, I've noticed that while you're not very good at other things, your ability to connect with others is top-notch. I'm just using the bathroom as an example. You're telling me you'll get up ten minutes earlier? With one more person in the room, every little thing in life will have to be arranged at a different time. Can you do that?"

"I can do it!"

He Minhong's tone was filled with anger. "I don't think I've done anything wrong. I don't understand why you're fussing over such trivial matters."

"Well, you're generous, you're open-minded, you repay evil with kindness, you have a noble character. Next time you're bullied by Yu Chuhui, don't come to me to complain. I can only say three words to you: you asked for it!"

He Minhong puffed up his lips in anger, "Brother Qin, how could you say that to me!"

"Let me ask you, are you using half your monthly salary to rent a house for four people to share? If that's the case, why didn't you find a house with four people to share from the beginning? At least you could save five or six hundred yuan a month."

"I'm not encouraging you to be petty. You don't have the ability to make a living in Shanghai. Your parents still have to support you with some living expenses every month to cover your expenses. In your current situation where you can't even take care of yourself, how can you help others?"

"But, Mother Yu is so miserable. Brother Qin, if you were there at the time, you would definitely not be as indifferent as you are now."

"I didn't say you can't help. What I emphasized is that you can only provide help within your ability. Now that Yu's mother has moved into 2202, the three of us sharing the apartment have suddenly become four people. This has affected your life. You have the right to ask Yu Chuhui to compensate you."

After seeing this message, He Minhong immediately relaxed.

"So this is what you mean. Yu Chuhui said that the water, electricity, gas, and other expenses for 2202 will be divided into four parts. She will pay two parts, and Sister Zhu and I will each pay one part."

"She bribed you with just a few utility bills? This is the expense she should have borne in the first place."

Qin Fan was really impressed by this silly girl. "You should ask her for compensation for the rent. After all, rent is the biggest expense. At least you and Zhu Zhe should each pay 500 yuan."

"This is too... I can't say it!"

He Minhong admitted that Qin Fan was right. He paid three thousand yuan in rent every month, not for the purpose of sharing the house with four people. It was reasonable that Yu Chuhui should give him and Zhu Zhe some compensation.

But the matter had already been settled, and Yu's mother had moved in. If I didn't mention the issue of compensation at the time, and then come back to them later, it would seem that I was too stingy and had no sympathy.

With He Minhong's high moral standards, he would definitely not do such a thing.

Qin Fan didn't expect her to have the nerve to ask Yu Chuhui for compensation. The other person was so smart. He acted pitiful beforehand and then promised to pay more for water, electricity, gas and other expenses afterwards, making it seem like she was so reasonable.

However, not a single word was mentioned about the most important issue of rent.

This is nothing. Yu Chuhui later changed jobs and took on the role of marketing department manager. He was earning two salaries, which added up to a total annual salary of 500,000 yuan, yet he was still playing the victim.

This can be said to be Yu Chuhui's survival instinct. No matter what kind of environment he is in or whether his income is high or low, he will act when he gets the chance.

But the other three girls on the 22nd floor all fell for her tricks, and each of them acted like a caring older sister offering her warmth. How fake!

Seeing that this silly girl was still so stubborn after being fooled, Qin Fan changed his mind and helped her analyze the income situation of the three people.

"Zhu Zhe is my housekeeping manager. He earns 20,000 yuan a month. Counting the year-end bonus and other miscellaneous bonuses, he makes almost 300,000 yuan a year."

"Yu Chuhui's monthly salary is around 9,000 yuan. She also has a part-time job at Rufeng Dance, where each class costs 300 yuan. She can earn 2,000 yuan by taking just seven or eight classes a month. Her total monthly income is around 11,000 yuan."

"And you? Miss He, how much is your monthly salary? Do you have any side jobs? Tell me so I'll be envious."

He Minhong was completely dumbfounded.

I have never calculated Zhu Zhe and Yu Chuhui’s income before, nor have I deliberately inquired about this matter. Now I realize that I, with a monthly salary of 6,000 yuan, am the poorest one.

After not getting a response from He Minhong for a long time, Qin Fan continued:

"You only see how miserable others are. That's just what they're showing you. How come you still don't understand that you're the one who needs help the most? The only reason you're able to live such a comfortable life in Shanghai is entirely thanks to your parents' financial support."

"You still instinctively regard the financial support your parents give you as your own, believing it to be part of your strength. That's why you have the illusion that others are worse off than you."

"He Minhong, you are already an adult. It's time for you to be independent. The first thing you need to do to be independent is to support yourself. If you can't even support yourself, how can you help others?"

"Yu Chuhui just acted out a few scenes and squeezed out a few tears to trick you into it. You are so stupid."

The salary comparison is both intuitive and convincing enough. At a glance, you can see who is the most miserable among the three women. If such a comparison still cannot make He Minhong wake up, then it can only be said that this woman is completely hopeless.

Even though Qin Fan was not next to He Minhong, he could still imagine her pulling her hair with both hands and looking crazy.

In fact, He Minhong did not pull his hair, but pounded the pillow frantically.

The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. I thought Zhu Zhe and Yu Chuhui had a lot of troubles at home and that they didn't live a comfortable life like me. Now I realize that they only showed their miserable side, and their truly happy side was deeply hidden.

One's income is four times mine, the other's is twice mine...

Just as Qin Fan said, it's all acting!

The more He Minhong thought about it, the more he couldn't sleep. He sent a few more messages to Ye Zhenzhen, repeating what Qin Fan had just said in his own words.

.......

682: Playing the victim! Calculation!

He Minhong: "Zhenzhen, I think Yu Chuhui may have tricked me. She used the utilities, which she should have been responsible for, to cover up the rent issue that should have been discussed. I never heard her mention the rent from the beginning to the end."

Under normal circumstances, Ye Zhenzhen would have gone to bed by this time, but today she stayed in the lab to work overtime and finally finished the experiment until the early hours of the morning.

Seeing the message from He Minhong, Ye Zhenzhen fell into deep thought.

"You have a point. We used to share the rent with three people, and now there's one more person. It's only right for Ah Chu to pay part of the rent out of his own pocket. However, considering Ah Chu's family situation, I think it's better to forget it. It's not much money."

He Minhong immediately responded, "I'm not forced to have Yu Chuhui compensate me for the rent. I just can't understand why she has her own agenda when we're all trying to help her."

"Actually, even if Yu Chuhui offered to compensate Sister Zhu and me, we would have refused. But she deliberately didn't mention the rent, which is quite disheartening."

Ye Zhenzhen also felt that Yu Chuhui was not being honest in this matter, but she still said a good word for her.

"Maybe Ah Chu was so worried about her mother's affairs that she forgot about the rent."

"She even remembered to split the water, electricity, and gas bills into four parts, so how could she not remember the rent?"

He Minhong puffed his lips as he continued typing, "Zhenzhen, you don't need to say anything nice for her. I've finally figured it out. She's the type of person who has the word 'calculation' etched into her bones. Even when others are helping her, she still schemes. Really..."

"I even suspected that when she mentioned her mother's domestic violence in front of everyone a few days ago, she was deliberately playing the victim in order to trick me into asking her to bring her mother over to live with us."

"Whenever I think of these things, I feel like there's a thorn in my heart, and I just feel uncomfortable."

Ye Zhenzhen hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

"Honghong, you're going too far. I believe Ah Chu isn't that kind of person. She might have been a little clever about the rent, but I don't think she would use her family's scandals to gain sympathy. Put yourself in her shoes. You certainly wouldn't want to tell others about your family's scandals, right?"

"That's the truth, but when it comes to Yu Chuhui, I can only laugh."

Ye Zhenzhen frowned. She hadn't expected that He Minhong and Yu Chuhui had only been renting together for less than a month, but the gap between them had become so deep. It gave her a headache.

"Don't always think the worst of people. Ah Chu is your roommate after all, and you'll be living together for a long time. You should try to keep a calm mind."

"Zhenzhen, I'm not kidding. Remember some time ago, one morning, Yu Chuhui knocked on your door and wanted you to recommend her to Brother Qin to see if there was a job suitable for her there? Do you remember this?"

"Remember, what happened?"

"She got up early that day and practiced her basic skills at the door. She was actually waiting for you to get up. She usually practices on the balcony, and she wouldn't choose to practice in the morning, after all, she has to go to work after breakfast."

After hearing what He Minhong said, Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but feel resentful.

Is it true that Yu Chuhui likes to scheme so much, and does everything with a strong purpose?

This kind of behavior cannot be said to be very bad, but it is quite uncomfortable to treat friends in this way. I can't help but wonder, do you make friends with me with a purpose?

Ye Zhenzhen tried to suppress the irritation in her heart, "Alright, let's just consider this as helping Ah Chu for the first time. Just relax and have a good sleep. Tomorrow you will have no worries at all."

"Well, thank you Zhenzhen. It's already early in the morning, and you're still willing to listen to me complain."

"I just came out of the lab, otherwise I would have fallen asleep long ago. Go get some rest quickly, because you have to go to work tomorrow."

"Good night~!"

.......

683: Blind date!

The next morning, Qin Fan received a message from Ye Zhenzhen, asking him why he said those words to He Minhong.

Although Ye Zhenzhen is kind, she is not stupid. It is impossible for He Minhong to think of so many twists and turns. Someone must have said something to her behind her back.

Considering that He Minhong kept calling Qin Fan "Brother Qin", it was obvious that he had a good relationship with Qin Fan, so she asked this question.

Qin Fan called back, "Could it be that I'm wrong?"

Ye Zhenzhen hadn't gotten up yet, leaning against the headboard with sleepy eyes, and replied, "You're right, but I don't think Ah Chu would be so calculating."

"So, the purpose of your message was actually to ask me why I was trying to sow discord between her and Yu Chuhui in front of He Minhong?"

Feeling that Qin Fan's tone had turned cold, Ye Zhenzhen hurriedly explained.

"Of course not. I just think those words were a bit too much. Actually, Achu is a very nice person."

"What kind of nice person would have the audacity to ask you to find her a high-paying job with good benefits after just knowing her for a few days? What kind of nice person would come back to you and ask you to come up with something from me after you've been with me for less than three days?"

These two questions in a row choked Ye Zhenzhen.

These two things are enough to show that Yu Chuhui is at least a person with an unclear sense of boundaries. If you make friends with such a person, you must always be on guard against her some excessive behavior.

"Yu Chuhui is different from Zhu Zhe. Zhu Zhe was punished by me before, so it's understandable that she would come after you, but it's unacceptable that Yu Chuhui would come after you."

"Zhenzhen, you have to admit one thing, Yu Chuhui is the kind of person who likes to be clever."

Ye Zhenzhen rubbed her eyes and yawned. This call came at a bad time. She slept too late last night and her head was feeling dizzy now.

"Okay, you're right. By the way, when did you and He Minhong become so close?"

Qin Fan then told He Minhong about the last time he fooled him downstairs.

"Afterwards, I had dinner with her. I felt that this girl was so silly that I didn't know what to say. So I casually helped her analyze how to make friends and who to make friends with in the best interests of her."

Ye Zhenzhen was surprised. "You even helped her analyze us? Then, who on the entire twenty-second floor is the most worth making friends with?"

"Of course it's the beautiful and kind-hearted Ms. Ye Zhenzhen. I told He Minhong that when making friends, one should look for those with kind hearts. Even if friendship fails, they won't harm her. Is there anyone kinder than our Zhenzhen on the entire twenty-second floor?"

"Your rule for making friends is indeed good. I agree with it."

Ye Zhenzhen was very satisfied with this answer. She supported her chin with her right hand and smiled foolishly.

After laughing, Ye Zhenzhen changed the subject, "When will you return to the Magic City?"

"About a week."

"If that's the case, I won't be able to see you for a long time."

Ye Zhenzhen's tone was low and filled with deep disappointment.

"A week isn't that long. If you work a few extra shifts, it'll be over in the blink of an eye."
