Tan Zongming looked at Andy's slightly smiling but serious look and revealed a special smile.

Suddenly, I heard that Andy, who had just returned to China, had met a new friend, and seeing Andy's appearance of admiring this new friend, Tan Zongming couldn't help but feel a little confused and curious. He could be admired by Andy.

That person is definitely not an ordinary person.

But what really made Tan Zongming want to meet Zhou Yu was another reason, a reason that perhaps only he himself knew.

When they arrived at the salon, Andy sat aside alone because he was not used to being in contact with other people, while Tan Zongming came into the crowd and glanced at Andy from time to time.

Andy took out his computer from his bag, and while listening to the speeches of different people in the salon, he was also chatting with people on the computer.

It happened that the person speaking now was discussing this year's economic situation, and a series of speeches sounded alarmist to Andy's ears.

Andy took advantage of the situation and sent what the person said to the chat partner in the chat box: "I was attending a business salon, and someone was here to make alarmist remarks, saying that the domestic economy will face a huge crisis this year. What do you think?"

Not long after the text was sent, the person she was chatting with quickly replied: "I disagree. Although the RMB is approaching the lower limit one after another, the national treasury is full, and the people also have a large amount of funds. If there is a market, there will be demand, and the domestic economy remains the same."

Some are growth points.”

Andy also smiled after seeing the text on the chat software and replied: "I agree, it's just a shuffle and there won't be a crisis."

After sending this message, Andy suddenly thought of Zhou Yu and took out his mobile phone to send the same message to Zhou Yu.

On the other side, Zhou Yu, who was listening carefully in class, suddenly felt his phone vibrate. He took it out and saw the message sent by Andy. After thinking about it, he replied: "It's a bit too much. Where is this? This year's economic situation

It is not just the domestic situation that is bad, the entire world economy has fallen into a certain degree of weakness, international trade and investment are weak, there is insufficient growth momentum, and trade protectionism is rising and counter-economic trends are intensifying, all of which will have a certain impact on the domestic situation."

"But even under this situation, the domestic economy is still thriving. The economy is running smoothly, the GDP is continuing to increase, and the scale of the domestic market continues to expand. The development trend is still obvious. In fact, among some pessimistic people

It seems that there is always a crisis. This year compared to last year, next year compared to this year, the crisis will be bigger every year than every year."

Andy replied: "Then you are also very optimistic about the development of the domestic economy?"

Zhou Yu continued to reply: "At least the development trend in the next three years can be expected, with steady progress and gradual development. However, in the long run, we still have to maintain a conservative attitude. It can only be said that there are still many problems to be faced.

Sooner or later, these hidden mines will detonate one after another and the situation will become more severe. In short, I personally think that the economy must be viewed from the perspective of people's livelihood. Whether the people have money is the only criterion for measuring the economy. In fact, the country is still far behind in this regard.

"

"You are very pessimistic."

Zhou Yu smiled: "Facts will prove everything."

Andy saw Zhou Yu's last reply, smiled, shook his head, put away his phone and continued chatting with the previous person through the chat software.

Tan Zongming, who was sitting in the crowd, frowned slightly after seeing the smile on Andy's face, showing a thoughtful expression.

When the salon was over, Andy packed up his things and was about to leave. Before he even walked out of the door, he was stopped by Tan Zongming: "Andy, I'm leaving."

Andy smiled at Tan Zongming and said, "Yes, I'll leave first."

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Tan Zongming said accusingly, "I prepared some good hairy crabs today."

"Yeah." Andy shrugged and said, "You can enjoy it. I have to leave beforehand and have made an appointment with my neighbors to have dinner together in the evening."

"Neighbor?" Tan Zongming smiled and asked, "That new friend?"

"That's right, he will come too." Andy smiled and said, "There are also some girls next door."

Tan Zongming said with a strange smile: "Didn't you say you wanted to change your house two days ago? Why did you start making dinner appointments with your neighbors in the past two days?"

Andy suddenly thought of this and shook his head: "There's no need to change it yet."

Tan Zongming said with a half-smile: "Don't want to change? Don't you still think they are panicking with their chatter?"

"I won't change anymore." Andy smiled and said, "Suddenly I found that these neighbors of mine are quite interesting."

"Okay." Tan Zongming nodded and shouted to the maid at home: "Mom Liu, go get a basket of hairy crabs."

Andy was about to refuse when he heard it, but then he suddenly thought about it and smiled: "Then I won't be polite. We just happened to have dinner together, so I took it back."

"I thought you would refuse." Tan Zongming showed a little surprise.

Andy smiled and said: "Originally I wanted to refuse, but if we are all having dinner together, I can't prepare nothing. My neighbor said he quite likes this food."

Tan Zongming chuckled: "Haha, okay, then why don't you take some more back?"

Andy shook his head: "No, the little girl next door should also prepare some. I will bring some back to feed the few of us."

Tan Zongming groaned and said, "Then don't forget about tomorrow."

Andy said: "Don't worry, as long as he is free, I will definitely help you make an appointment, then I will leave first."

Tan Zongming nodded: "Go ahead, Mother Liu will take out the things and deliver them to you."

"Bye-Bye."

"Bye-Bye."

When Andy left, Tan Zongming looked at Andy's slowly disappearing back and shook his head slightly, turned around and went back to entertain the guests.

Over at Ode to Joy, Qu Xiaoxiao met Fan Shengmei, who was all dressed up, just as she came back.

As soon as she saw Fan Shengmei, Qu Xiaoxiao raised her hand and handed a large box of hairy crabs towards Fan Shengmei: "It's just in time. You know how to make this. You can call Guan Guan and Xiao Wei Ying, and they'll come over later."

have a meal together."

Fan Shengmei looked at Qu Xiaoxiao, who was holding large and small bags of seafood in addition to the hairy crabs she handed him, and immediately raised her eyebrows: "Buy so many?"

Qu Xiaoxiao looked tired: "Yeah, Dr. Zhou said I bought all the food I liked. I even bought some more to share with everyone. Help me carry it. I'm tired of carrying so many things.

died."

Fan Shengmei rolled her eyes but helped Qu Xiaoxiao share the burden and said, "I bought it specifically for Dr. Zhou."

"How can he eat so much by himself? He doesn't want to get together with everyone." After Qu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, he asked: "Can you do it?"

Fan Shengmei was stunned, looked at the things in Qu Xiaoxiao's hand and said hesitantly: "Yes, I can, but I can't do so much by myself, and I can't do everything you bought."

Qu Xiaoxiao said: "Dr. Zhou has a kitchen at home, so he can definitely cook it."

Fan Shengmei said quickly: "Then you should call and ask first, so that it won't be completely wasted by then. Seafood should be eaten while it is fresh."

"Too."

As soon as Qu Xiaoxiao made the call, she heard a ringing sound from the elevator. Qu Xiaoxiao and Fan Shengmei looked at each other and immediately laughed together.

Sure enough, as soon as the elevator door opened, he saw Zhou Yu standing in the elevator. As soon as he saw Zhou Yu, Qu Xiaoxiao acted like a baby and walked in quickly, passing the seafood in his hand towards Zhou Yu: "It's really you, I'll buy it."

I'm exhausted from eating so much seafood, please help me carry it."

Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at the things in Qu Xiaoxiao's hand, and helped Qu Xiaoxiao share the burden: "Buy so much."

Qu Xiaoxiao raised her chin as if you were going to praise me: "Don't you like to eat it? I just bought some more by the way. Big lobster, crawling shrimp, they must be what you like to eat anyway."

"Can you do it?" Zhou Yu looked at Qu Xiaoxiao.

Qu Xiaoxiao was stunned: "You don't know how?"

"Just because you like to eat doesn't mean you need to be able to cook it." Zhou Yu lowered his head and looked at the seafood he bought again: "But these things can actually be eaten after being steamed, and some seafood soy sauce and mustard can also be delicious."

Qu Xiaoxiao said: "It's okay, you can enjoy the original taste by steaming it."

Fan Shengmei twitched her lips: "We are all eldest young masters and eldest ladies. Okay, let me make it. Just look up the recipe online."

Zhou Yu smiled sheepishly at Fan Shengmei: "I'm sorry to bother you, I have a full set of kitchen utensils, so just come to my place and have them done."

Fan Shengmei said: "That's okay. Then I'll go back and change my clothes first and call Xiao Weiyin and Guan Guan. I guess I'll have to order takeout and bring back some ingredients."

Zhou Yu said: "I'll make the arrangements. Then I'll go back and wait for you. Just bring your things to me."

Qu Xiaoxiao didn't let Zhou Yu do anything, and took the initiative to take the hairy crab from Fan Shengmei's hand: "I'll do it, I'll do it."

"Haha." Fan Shengmei smiled and glanced at Qu Xiaoxiao: "I know how to behave."

Qu Xiaoxiao said nonchalantly: "Then you must perform well."

Qu Xiaoxiao went back to the 21st floor with Zhou Yu without going upstairs. Not long after, Fan Shengmei changed into clothes that were convenient for working and came down. Guan Guan and Andy came with them, and Fan Shengmei was carrying another large bag in her hand.

Box of hairy crabs.

As soon as he entered Zhou Yu's house, he said to Zhou Yu and Qu Xiaoxiao: "Hey, I'm going to have a full meal of hairy crabs today, and Andy also brought back a big box."

Qu Xiaoxiao looked at Andy in surprise: "Andy, why did you bring hairy crabs back? Didn't I say I bought them?"

"It was given by a friend, so I brought it back because I thought everyone could eat more." Andy smiled and said, "Who knew Sister Fan told me that you bought a lot of seafood, and now I have to worry about whether I can finish it all.

problem."

"They are all packed at least half a catty." Fan Shengmei came to the kitchen and looked around, looking left and right: "There are dozens of hairy crabs in total, not to mention so much seafood."

Zhou Yu came to the kitchen and handed the phone to Fan Shengmei: "Look at what you want to buy and cook it first. If it's too much to eat, just give it to other neighbors. But I should be able to eat a lot, so I'll eat it slowly while eating."

Let’s eat, drink, watch a movie and chat, maybe we’ll have to add some food in the end.”

Fan Shengmei smiled and nodded: "Well, I have to enjoy myself today. I'll wash these things first. I also noticed before that the facilities at Dr. Zhou's house are quite complete."

"I'm quite a glutton." Zhou Yu said with a smile, "And I'm picky about what I eat. Although I don't know how to cook it, sometimes I want to ask my aunt to do it, so I make a few things."

"They are all people who know how to enjoy themselves." Fan Shengmei felt that she suddenly became much more natural. Unlike before, where she still felt a little bit carried away, now she looked completely casual: "Oh, I don't know what.

Only then will I be able to live a life like yours, I’m so envious of you.”

Zhou Yu asked: "I heard that you are a senior HR?"
