Chapter 249 Brother Chen, you are so handsome when you brag
Chen An picked up the lemonade in front of him and said with a smile: "Guan Guan, congratulations, you have taken a crucial step in the workplace."
Guan Juer looked confused and asked in a daze, "Brother Chen, is this step so important? Isn't it a bit exaggerated?"
Chen An explained seriously, "Guan Guan, it's normal that you don't understand. This is a problem that many newcomers to the workplace have to face. A sense of boundaries at work is very important."
Guan Juer stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and said, "Last time when Yingying was helping someone to file a bill at the company, Sister Fan reminded me of this. She said something about a sense of boundaries and responsibilities. I was confused at the time, so I didn't remember much."
Hearing this, Chen An couldn't help but become alert.
Although Fan Shengmei is quite caring towards the two younger sisters, Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying, and has no bad intentions, her usual words and actions will still have an impact on the people around her.
Especially now, Fan Shengmei is a very powerful representative in the eyes of the two little sisters, which requires us to be more vigilant.
In the original drama, the reason why Qiu Yingying was deceived by Manager Bai was actually influenced by Fan Shengmei's daily life.
From Qiu Yingying's point of view, Sister Fan is beautiful, knows how to dress, is feminine, has strong working ability, and handles interpersonal relationships well.
But Fan Shengmei is already 30 years old and still single, running around for blind dates every day.
Look at myself again. I have average work ability, food and clothing are problems, I have an ordinary appearance and don’t know how to dress up, and I come from a small city.
It is your luck to have a man who is capable at work and can speak sweet words and likes you, so you should naturally hold on to him.
As for Fan Shengmei's later opposition and education, in Qiu Yingying's view, it was undoubtedly a manifestation of envy and jealousy.
Some people think that Qiu Yingying is stupid, but that’s not the case. If it weren’t for the wrong person, Manager Bai’s qualifications would be more than enough for Qiu Yingying.
Guan Juer's later blackened behavior is closely related to the fact that Fan Shengmei is hanging with Wang Baichuan, the sweetness between Qu Xiaoxiao and Zhao Qiping, and the love between Andy and Xiao Bao.
The impact of the environment on people is indeed huge.
Chen An thought for a moment and gave an example: "Guan Guan, if your classmates often ask you to help with homework at school, and every time they just thank you verbally without any actual action, do you think this is considered bullying?"
"Of course..." Guan Juer answered without hesitation.
"Then how many times did you help Michelle? Did she show any substantial response?" Chen An asked, with a hint of guidance in his eyes.
Guan Juer thought about it seriously, a blush appeared on her face, and she said with a little embarrassment: "Well, she only praised me a few words every time, nothing else, she never even bought me a drink..."
"So, after two attempts, she has figured out your character. If you don't explicitly refuse this kind of thing, you will get into more trouble in the future. It's the same as helping a classmate with homework. If you get it right, she won't thank you, but if you get it wrong, you will have to take the responsibility and be blamed." Chen An explained patiently.
"Well, does my rejection today not count?" Guan Juer asked uncertainly, with a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.
"Guan Guan, think about it. When you told me just now that you indirectly rejected her and didn't let her say it out loud, your expression was particularly excited. This shows that, deep down in your heart, you are actually disgusted and resistant to her behavior." Chen An analyzed patiently.
Guan Juer pouted and complained unhappily: "My colleague told me that Michelle was not feeling unwell at all, she was going on a date. She saw Michelle get into a luxury car with her own eyes, and she looked so energetic, she didn't look sick at all."
Looking at the indignation on Guan Juer's face, Chen An smiled helplessly and thought: There are really a lot of intrigues in the company. Fortunately, Guan Guan has a simple personality. If it were someone else, they might target Michelle.
"So Guan Guan, you have to understand that a person's time and energy are limited. The most important thing is that you are in a competitive relationship. If you use the time you spend on improving yourself to help your competitors, it's like putting your money in a bank, but someone else uses it to take out a loan to buy a house and a car, and then uses the house and car to steal your girlfriend. This is the truth." Chen An explained half-jokingly.
"Puff..." Guan Juer almost spit out the water she had just drunk. She quickly wiped her mouth with a tissue and rolled her eyes at Chen An. Her face was a little angry, but also revealed a hint of sweetness: "Brother Chen, you are so mean. I just wanted to drink water, and you told such a joke."
"This is not a joke; this is the naked reality. To put it mildly, your behavior is a lack of clear work boundaries; to put it more seriously, it's aiding the enemy." Chen An's expression was serious, but his tone was a little doting.
Guan Juer stuck out her tongue and said, "Okay, I got it, Brother Chen. Next time she asks me for help, I will definitely refuse her."
Chen An nodded with satisfaction and did not continue the topic.
He knew that speaking directly about big principles would easily make people feel resistant, but saying it in an interesting way would not only make people impressed, but also would not create a sense of distance between each other, especially when men and women get along.
After they chatted for a while, the food they ordered was served. The rich aroma filled their noses, although it was still slightly inferior to what they had cooked.
"Brother Chen, this is not how you eat this meal." Guan Juer picked up a small spoon, poked two runny fried eggs a little, then poured the sauce on them and said, "Brother Chen, use a spoon to poke the eggs into small pieces and mix them with the side dishes. It's especially delicious."
Chen An tried a bite according to Guan Juer's method, nodded and said: "It tastes really good, but the price is a little expensive, such a small portion costs 40 yuan..."
"You have to spend all the money you make in Shanghai, and don't even think about taking a penny home. I've studied this myself before, and the fried eggs were okay, but the sauce was simply not right. I tried several times and it was never right." Guan Juer pouted, looking a little depressed.
"This sauce is the soul, the recipe is somewhat unique..." Chen An took a sip, savored it carefully and analyzed, "It should contain... these ingredients, but the proportions still need to be tried..."
Guan Juer asked in surprise: "Brother Chen, how did you do it? Why didn't I notice anything?"
"I'm a greedy person and I like to cook, so I know more about ingredients." Chen An explained with a smile, his face full of confidence.
"Brother Chen, your cooking must be delicious, right?" Guan Juer's eyes were full of anticipation, as if she was already imagining the delicious scene of Chen An cooking.
Chen An said modestly, "It's OK, just a little bit better than the chef here."
Guan Juer smiled playfully, with a smile as bright as a flower on her face, "Brother Chen, you are so handsome even when you brag, it's totally unfair..."
"Well, it seems that I have to find an opportunity to prove Chef Chen's ability in the future." Chen An said confidently.
Guan Juer smiled slyly, her eyes gleaming with anticipation, "Then I must be a judge."
Looking at the little girl's expression, Chen An picked up a piece of pork ribs with amusement, put it on Guan Juer's plate and said: "Remember this taste, next time I will make you a better one..."
The two of them ate and chatted. Guan Juer soon put down her chopsticks after finishing her meal. She supported her chin with both hands, and her eyes unconsciously drifted towards the couple next to her.
The couple was very close, the boy picked up a piece of food and gently fed it to the girl, who smiled sweetly and gave the boy a bite in return. They leaned against each other, their eyes full of love, enjoying their warm moment without paying attention to anyone else.
Guan Juer looked at this scene, her heart full of envy, and she couldn't help but have some wild thoughts: When will her and Brother Chen be able to develop to this point?
Seeing Guan Juer's expression, Chen An asked with concern: "Guan Guan, why are you eating so little?"
Guan Juer smiled playfully and said, "Brother Chen, I used to feel that I could eat a lot when I was hungry, but the strength of my eyes and appetite is obviously not proportional..."
"I don't eat much. I'll eat some fruit when I get home at night, otherwise my body won't get enough nutrition."
"I know." Guan Juer picked up some food for Chen An and said with a smile, "Brother Chen, eat more. I like watching you eat..."
Chen An felt a little amused. Why do these girls have this habit?
