On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, dust and sweep the house.

Fang Ling led the two generals to do the year-end cleaning.

Upstairs and downstairs, inside and outside the courtyard, thoroughly cleaned.

Nowadays, people spend money on housekeeping services, Fang Ling doesn't want to fake her hands on others, the Spring Festival has been sweeping dust since ancient times, and the whole family works together to clean up with heart, so as to sweep away the "poor luck" and "bad luck" of the year, and welcome the New Year cleanly.

There is no man in the family, and the burden naturally falls on the heads of the two women, who have been busy all day without exaggeration in previous years, and their legs that are tired from sleeping at night cannot be straightened. This year, there is Gao Min's foreign aid, and he took the initiative to contract the heavy work, Fang Ling is responsible for the pots and pans in the kitchen and cleaning the bedding, and Shu Neem only has one job left to clean the glass windows.

Fang Ling walked out with the dry sheets and quilt cover, and raised her eyes to see Gao Min squatting on the ground, holding a hammer to repair the broken wooden plank road.

Gao Min raised his head when he heard the sound, revealing a smile comparable to that of a sunny day.

In an instant, Fang Ling felt that the sun above her head was a little dazzling, and muttered in her heart, this child is really good-looking, but it's a pity that Qi Da is not a coincidence.

In the past two days, Shu Neem was afraid that Ms. Fang's thief would not die, so she seized the time to show her Gao Min's awesome family background, proud academic qualifications, and glittering wealth. Let's ask this kind of person, what does she use to match others? There are more girls who are better than her, taller than her, and younger than her, and those who stretch their necks on tiptoe to reach out to those who can't reach themselves, aren't they clearly embarrassing themselves?

Why bother!

Shu Neem is not arrogant, nor does he feel that Gao Min is unattainable, men and women need some wonderful chemistry, no need to break it, just one look contains the feelings of wanting to talk. It's a pity that there is no one between her and Gao Min, they are partners first, and then friends who can talk, and other than that, the innocent can't be innocent anymore.

For love, Shu Neem still has a little romantic longing, it can never come, but it can't be reluctant.

Fang Ling has always believed that feelings must be positive and enterprising, unless there are irresistible objective factors, such as the disparity in family background, even if she tries hard, she can't change her mud leg background, and Shu Yuming, the child of a strong cadre, is completely delusional, she has suffered losses, knocked out teeth and swallowed blood, she admits it, but her daughter cannot.

Putting away her worries, Fang Ling smiled and said: "Xiao Gao, you are a guest, and you are asked to do rough work, Auntie really doesn't want to go, you can rest when you are tired, you have been working for a long time."

Gao Min gave her the impression of being pampered, her ten fingers did not touch the spring water, and she was good at housework, painting walls, changing faucets, repairing furniture, and repairing leaky roofs...... Under his skillful renovation, the home and outside the house were completely new, and if she hadn't stopped him, he would have even rushed to do the work of ironing clothes.

"Today, you are busy with Shu Neem and Auntie, you can't just be idle", Gao Min suppressed the excitement of excitement, he had never had the experience of preparing for the New Year together as a family in his past life, and he cherished this feeling.

Fang Ling felt it, "There is still a man in the family, wow, these tinkering jobs were done by Shu Neem in the past, my daughter was raised as a half boy, and I suffered a lot when I was a child, and finally survived." I'm not worried about her being alone, because I know she can take care of herself, but it's not a thing for her to be single all the time, and it's better to find a companion than to be alone."

The man who was supposed to die alone wore beige coveralls, a wool-shearing coat, headphones on his head, and cleaned the windows while listening to songs, shaking his head to the beat of the music, quite self-satisfied.

Happiness can be contagious, Gao Min is in a happy mood, and feels that it is difficult to associate the bleak evening scene with neem, she has independent confidence and capital, there is no shortage of money to spend, and she can digest negative energy well, such a person will live well even if she is not married, if marriage cannot be the icing on the cake for her, then there is no need to succumb to marriage and waste his life, which is also the reason why he is uneasy and does not dare to express his love, because he is not sure that he can become a must for neem.

Fang Ling listened to Gao Min's voice without squeaking, and had an epiphany, they are all older men and women who are not married, obviously the front is unified, the position is the same, and they will definitely defend each other, and they have to knock on the side to let them recognize the reality.

"When people are old, they are not pitiful to have companions around them, you see that the lonely old man is sick and lying in bed and can't move, and there is no one who brings tea and water, how miserable, let me say, you young people can't be comfortable, just care about the present and ignore the future, don't expect to find care, no matter how much money you give, it is not as considerate as your closest relatives"

As she spoke, Fang Ling's eyes lit up, and she looked at Gao Min with a smile, "Xiao Gao, I heard Shu Neem say that you are running a company, so do any of your employees have unmarried young men?" ”

Gao Min was stunned for a moment, and then realized, to tell the truth, "It's quite a lot"

"That's good!" , Fang Ling was overjoyed, "Auntie, I don't have a view of the door, my family background is not picky, it doesn't matter if there is a car or a house, anyway, Shu Neem has, as long as the character is good, kind-hearted, and you know how to be motivated, you help Auntie keep an eye on it, if there is such a person, remember to introduce it to Shu Neem!" ”

Gao Min nodded with a smile and promised meaningfully, "I will definitely introduce the best to her"

"Ouch, Xiao Gao, then the aunt will entrust it to you, I urged Shu Neem to go on a blind date, the dead girl promised to be good, and it was not the same thing behind her back, I knew that I was perfunctory, and I would be relieved to have you for her."

Fang Ling was assured by Gao Min and was satisfied to dry the cleaned bedding.

Shu Neem had headphones around his neck, paced over slowly, and looked down at Gao Min with his arms crossed, "Why don't you tell my mother that I have met a young man in your company, and no one has fallen in love with me yet?" Please dispel her unrealistic illusions, and I can save less trouble, thank you! ”

"Zheng Haoran, our DMC strategist?" , Gao Min remembered that there was indeed such a person.

Shu Neem raised his eyebrows, "You have a pretty comprehensive grasp, and you don't ask about my gossip behind your back, right?" ”

That's a must! Gao Min smiled and said nothing, at the annual business leader awards dinner, Shu Neem and Zheng Haoran stared at each other, this kind of unfamiliar unexpected encounter scene was seen by him a little clue, and later, Shu Neem went to the DMC headquarters for a meeting, and as soon as the meeting ended, Zheng Haoran followed her into the pantry, and the two of them explained the situation seven or eight percent, and the remaining two or three percent He took the opportunity to chat with Zheng Haoran to find out the ins and outs.

An unsuccessful blind date, the original protagonist became a passer-by, witnessing a couple of lovers getting back together, the people who fell out of the cannon fodder were embarrassed, and the people who listened to the story also felt nonsensical, and they couldn't catch the rhythm if they wanted to express sympathy.

Since you don't have any intention of why you agreed to the blind date, Gao Min wouldn't ask that, he tentatively asked, "Editor-in-chief Shu is good......

Zheng Haoran smiled bitterly, "I have a girlfriend"

Just know where you stand, and this episode ends here.

Gao Min was very happy that Shu Neem's several blind dates had ended in failure, as for the stunned reaction of one of the blind dates, there was no need to tell her, he had never done anything extraneous.

"Tsk-", Shu Neem stretched out a long voice, "What kind of cool words are you letting go, why are you holding back?" ”

Gao Min was silent, his eyes were slanted, and his eyes were smiling.

How can this man be as cunning as a fox! Neem grinds his teeth and wants to find ballast.

Gao Min didn't care, picked up his mobile phone and looked at it, turned his face to Shu Neem and said, "Let's go, let's wait at the door, there is a courier"

"Express? I didn't buy anything online, you did? Shu Neem glanced at Gao Min.

The courier arrived in a heavy box, which was moved into the house and opened, and the cold ice was chilled with delicacies from all over the world: Alaskan king crab, Australian lobster, Kobe beef, Irish mussels, Mediterranean black tuna, French foie gras, Russian black caviar, and a sealed box of truffles, porcini mushrooms, matsutake mushrooms, and swallow wing abalone.

Shu Neem picked up the fresh herbs and spices that came with the transparent crisper and swallowed his saliva, "I'm a feast for my eyes, my mouth...... Our family is from the north, and we don't know how to cook seafood, so it's all money! ”

"I can't live in your house for nothing, the ingredients are prepared for Chinese New Year's Eve, I am in charge of the cooking, you and your aunt are waiting to eat ready-made", Gao Min rolled up his sleeves and moved the box into the kitchen.

There is no doubt that Boss Gao's cooking skills are superb, Shu Neem has eaten the dishes he cooked, and from the bottom of his heart, the taste is really good, and the reunion dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve is very worth looking forward to.

Shu Neem leaned against the door frame, his eyes fell on Gao Min's arm, the muscles were not developed but tight, and several light blue blood vessels protruded slightly when he exerted force, extending to the back of his hand, like Michelangelo's sculpture, accumulating strength and masculine beauty.

Gao Min's raised arm froze slightly, and he stared back at Shu Neem.

Shu Neem has long passed the age of blushing and shyness, and even if he is caught, he will only shrug his shoulders.

"What do you say, I'll listen to you", Gao Min looked at his arm and looked at Shu Neem.

"I don't dare to be high-minded, I just have a sudden feeling-", Shu Melia hesitated, feeling that they were all old acquaintances, and it didn't hurt to joke, so I don't know if the scale is acceptable? "Mr. Gao, for the first time, I strongly felt the masculinity in you", after a pause, she blinked and held her chin and smiled sheepishly, "Maybe it's more appropriate to change the word, hormones?" ”

"It's hard for me to take it as a compliment", Gao Min wittily locked on the keyword, "For the first time? In other words, I was not masculine before, in your words, I was not masculine, and my hormones were not strong? ”

Such a strict accusation, Shu Neem can not accept it. She smiled and defended, "You have amazing brainpower, you are a genius when you are young, you have a high IQ above mortals, your mental power and willpower are far beyond the reach of my generation, dealing with you, feeling more is your rationality, it is difficult to pay attention to others, in short, in front of your abundant soul, the appearance of the skin is shallow after all!" The subtext is that it's hard enough to fight wits and courage with you, so how can I pay attention to whether you look good or bad.

Gao Min was not confused by the rhetoric, and his words were to the point, "Listen to the change of soup and not the change of medicine, wow, to put it bluntly, it is because of the failure of hormones and skin!" ”

Uh, do you want to hit the nail on the head? But the beauty and ugliness of appearance are different from each other, and they can't be generalized, Shu Neem pursed his lips and smiled, no longer playing word games, and said with a rare sincere attitude: "Some people can't be judged by their hue and wealth, like Newton Einstein, Gates Jobs, compared with their great achievements, the others are floating clouds, how they look, what their character is, is not the focus of people's attention." In my opinion, Mr. Gao, you are also this kind of person."

"If I can be compared with a great man, how can I be virtuous?" , Gao Minguaner.

"As far as I know, in addition to playing money games, you have also supported a lot of scientific research projects, some of the investment in scientific research and innovation has not been effectively transformed, and the economic benefits are almost zero, if there is no continuous financial support, it will end in miscarriage, except for the government, I have not seen any businessman who can do this at any cost, so I say that your greatness is by no means a joke!"

As a reporter, Shu Neem has her own channels to get news, when Gao Min investigated her, she was not idle, secretly checked a lot of things about him, did not change the bloodthirsty nature of capital businessmen in her work, took advantage of the fire to rob and arbitrage in the turmoil of the stock market, and devoured in commercial mergers and acquisitions. What's even more odious is that he is well versed in the rules of the game, never touches the bottom line of the law, and has no black material that destroys the three views for her to collect.

It's not that we are too incompetent, it's just that the enemy is too cunning.

Stop it and give up? Think about the love neighbor who was cut off, Shu Neem's success was down, Yin Lao Yan was still angry, who told her to fall too wolf, and she didn't repay the scum. With the belief of eliminating harm for the people, he continued to investigate Gao Min, but who knew that not only did he not find out the mistakes, but found out the admirable side.

Money tests personality, not everyone has the courage to invest money in basic scientific research without asking for returns. Shu asked himself if he didn't have the courage to run a project that had been losing money, even if it meant a lot.

Since then, Shu Neem's opinion of Gao Min has completely changed, he is not as mercenary as she imagined, and he is more moral than she imagined, and in some respects he can even be called great, even his private life is as clean as if he has been washed with disinfectant.

After listening to Shu Neem's explanation, Gao Min didn't know whether to be relieved or disappointed, he thought that he was proving himself with practical actions, which moved Shu Neem and won her trust. But he never dreamed that Shu Neem played a trick on him to counter-investigate, and he passed the "political trial" of others, so that he was qualified to be friends with her.

Well, he realized early on that Shu Nee was like another self, so there was nothing incomprehensible about her way of doing things...... Gao Min was relieved, "It seems that we have deepened our understanding of each other, especially the 'first' time you found out that I have a manly taste, just because I did some physical work, or did I have a neutral image in your eyes before?" He curled the corners of his lips and smiled playfully.

"Don't underestimate the body, how to sing a song, the man who sets the horse, you are mighty and majestic, why? The bodybuilding body tempered by labor is not comparable to the shelf goods that are spurred out of the gym and protein powder! There is certainly more than one kind of charm for men, but IMHO, a well-dressed civilized gentleman is not necessarily more popular with women than a rough and wild strong man. Have you ever heard of Kangba man, strong muscles, strong physique, masculine masculinity, summed up in one of the most intuitive words - sexy, according to the point of view of evolutionary psychology, this direct exposure of sexual characteristics and the screening of beauty and ugliness come from reproductive judgment, breast and fat buttocks tall inverted triangle body means fertility advantage and excellent male genetics, this is the survival of the fittest in the process of biological evolution, creating that everyone tends to be beautiful, and high-quality resources are also inclined to beauty. Of course, after a long period of historical evolution, beauty and ugliness are no longer the only criterion for human mate selection, and those who hold wealth do not worry about having no object, and they have a lot of girls and boys rushing to pounce."

Gao Min mobilized the knowledge reserves in his brain, and about the Kham people, he thought more about their origins and ancestral legends, and later with a little subtle reluctance to admit that the men living in the Kham Tibetan area were indeed fierce and wild.

When he looked at Shu Neem, her face did not show a trace of fascination, and her calm expression really did not match her praise for the Kham man, and then the topic naturally transitioned to evolutionary psychology, and the discussion could probably lead to a paper.

Cold? Chatting is called communication, she is alone and talking, the people who listen are indifferent, the situation is a little embarrassing, Shu Nee took a bottle of water, took a sip in disguise, and pretended to ask casually: "What, is there something wrong?" ”

Gao Min shook his head, smiling, "I just want to know if you have a conclusion?" ”

Shu melied pretended to be stupid and interpreted with a vivid expression, "You're talking about Shenma, I don't understand!" ”

"It's okay, I'll summarize for you, your opinion is that I don't have an advantage in the survival of the fittest based on human reproduction except for my body, not to mention my neutral image, let alone my core competitiveness!" , Gao Min looked at Shu Neem Zhile, and hurt him in a roundabout way, when it comes to opening his mouth, his "friend" is invincible.

Shu Nee didn't admit it, and waved his hand again and again, "Mr. Gao is laughing!" People like you are not competitive, then I estimate that humanity is not far from extinction. Then again, you have more than the same advantages, with your arrogance, it is estimated that you don't want to exchange money for sincerity, then remove the property, you can also attract anyone you want to attract with excellent mind, knowledge, personality, physical health, self-care, etc., even if you don't mean it, there are people who are not blind to be attracted to you. You may think that this attraction is a rational * behavior after comprehensive consideration, and it is not as energetic as the feeling of the first call. Then let the sensibility call the shots, follow the mechanism of human evolution, and wait until the lover who makes your brain secrete dopamine"

"That's all?" , Gao Min raised his eyebrows.

Shu Neem was stunned, and the tricks were touted without repetition, which was not enough?

"I'm afraid I'm not a person with a 'discharge' physique", the charm is not enough to make the opposite sex produce phenylethylamine, referred to as PEA's hormone, scientific research believes that this hormone can give rise to people's love, you see, I know a little bit about the theory of love hormones, but I didn't think about myself before, thank you for reminding me", Gao Min half-truthed and half-false, and finally picked the corners of his mouth and smiled evilly, but his eyes were solemn.

In Shu Neem's eyes, what kind of person is he, or what does he mean to Shu Meli?

He waited for her to see him, and he was attracted to whether it was possible to point to her emotional arrow in both directions.

He wanted to hear the truth.
