Volume 1: Summer Beach Trip Chapter 1: South China Sea Beach
It was hot and muggy in the south-eastern province in July.
Tiannan District, a commercial building located in the center of the city.
The small real estate company called "Xingrong" has a set time of 8:00 for the end of work, and even if it does work overtime, it will not exceed 10:30.
It's 11:48 a.m., and there's still a brightly lit floor of the building.
In the studio, employees stared wearily at computer screens, their hands tapping on keyboards, and some were even half-awake and half-asleep, with their eyelids drooping from time to time.
"It's finally done. A young girl took her hands off the keyboard, stretched, leaned back, and leaned back lazily in her seat.
The others stopped what they were doing and leaned back on their seats like girls.
Suddenly, the door to the studio was pushed open.
A young man of about twenty-three years of age and an honest-looking young man walked in with a folder.
"Team Leader Ye. ”
Employees shouted.
Ye Ling nodded slightly, he walked to his desk and put the papers in the drawer.
"Is the work done?" Ye Ling asked in a calm tone.
"It's done. The employees replied lazily.
"Xiao Ye, did the boss tell you when the bonus will be paid?" asked the male employee in the corner.
His name is Han Chengfeng, because he has just passed his 25th birthday and entered adulthood, he naturally calls Ye Ling "Xiao Ye".
Ye Ling's group is not large, especially male, except for Ye Ling, Han Chengfeng is the only man.
"The bonus will be given out tomorrow. Ye Ling replied.
The eyes of the employees lit up, and they worked tirelessly and tirelessly to work overtime for this large amount of bonus.
"Haha. Xiao Ye, we can get this bonus thanks to you!" Han Chengfeng said with a smile.
Although Ye Ling is not very old, the employees have no objection to him taking the position of team leader.
Ye Ling is approachable and has a very kind personality, everyone in the company treats him as the big boy next door, and he is also the best employee of the company, and he talks about cooperation ninety percent out of ten.
The reason why the employees can get bonuses is also because of the cooperation he negotiated.
"You have worked hard overtime these days, and I specially helped our group to get a seven-day vacation, so you can take a proper rest. ”
After Ye Ling finished speaking, the room exploded instantly, and the originally sleepy employees instantly felt like they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they were very excited.
For such a small company, vacation is a luxury word, and even if the boss doubles the overtime pay, no one wants to work this extra shift.
"It's so hot, why don't we go to the beach?" suggested a hot-bodied female employee.
Her name is Tang Qingya, she is a typical royal sister, with a melon seed face, small red lips, a slightly erect nose, and the only fly in the ointment is that she has a pair of eyes that have lost their luster.
"Okay! Han Chengfeng smiled from ear to ear.
The others hesitated for a while, but they all agreed, if it weren't for this bonus, they wouldn't even dare to think about such a high-cost place as the seaside.
Ye Ling looked at Han Chengfeng and snickered twice, he and Han Chengfeng are also old friends, since junior high school, the two have studied in the same school, high school, university, and even the last place of work.
After ten years of intersection, Ye Ling already has a thorough understanding of Han Chengfeng.
Han Chengfeng is a self-acquaintance, Ye Ling can't remember what advantages he has, but the shortcomings Ye Ling remembers clearly, although he is usually lazy and likes to rub oil, but he is a person with a strong sense of justice, and often uses his strong physique to help those who are weak, although he has helped a lot...
"Team Leader Ye, are you going?" Tang Qingya suddenly asked.
Ye Ling came back to his senses from his memories, he thought about it, because there was a heartbreaking sister in the family, and he gave an uncertain answer: "It depends." ”
"What do you mean by depending on the situation? Xiaoye, you can't be perfunctory to us. Han Chengfeng was immediately unhappy.
"yes!"
Others chimed in.
"Have you figured out where to go?" Ye Ling diverted the topic.
"South Sea beach, where the cost of accommodation is the lowest. Tang Qingya didn't think about it, and immediately replied, obviously doing her homework.
"Okay..."Ye Ling's heart began to waver, after being tired for so long, he also wanted to take a break.
"Xiaolan is also a high school student, so she should be able to take care of herself, right?"
Ye Ling's younger sister has been pampered since she was a child, and she can't do all kinds of housework, just as the so-called eldest brother is like a father, Ye Ling, who is an elder brother, has always been in the heart of being a father.
Ye Ling took a deep breath, if his sister didn't go, he had to be mentally prepared to come back early for a big cleaning.
After chatting for a while, Ye Ling said goodbye to his colleagues and walked home alone.
…………
"Who is this?"
When Ye Ling returned home physically and mentally exhausted, a strange sloppy uncle was squatting in front of his house and smoking.
Ye Ling cautiously approached the sloppy uncle, Ye Ling took a closer look at the sloppy uncle, he was wearing a shabby costume, his thick beard seemed to have not been shaved for a long time, his face was covered with dust, and his tired eyes were slightly bloodshot.
"Ye Ling. ”
The sloppy uncle at the door suddenly called, and he hurriedly stepped on the cigarette butt and greeted him with a smile.
"Are you?" asked Ye Ling suspiciously.
"I, Ye Cheng, your uncle, the one who used to pinch your hand when I was a child. The sloppy uncle looked Ye Ling up and down, and said with relief, "I haven't seen you for so long, you have grown so big." ”
"My uncle, Ye Cheng?" Ye Ling frowned and recalled for a moment, he suddenly had a slight impression of the sloppy uncle in front of him, he had to look at the person in front of him again, his appearance was indeed somewhat similar to the uncle in his memory.
"Uncle, are you dressed like this?" Ye Ling asked again.
"Hey!" Ye Cheng waved his hand, putting on a posture of being a hero who didn't mention the courage of the year.
Ye Ling was a little puzzled, how high-spirited the uncle he saw back then, and even faintly had the demeanor of his father's circle leader, how much change it had to go through to get to this point...
Ye Ling didn't ask again, and the uncle didn't want to say, it must be something sad.
"Uncle, why did you come to my house?" Ye Ling asked.
Ye Cheng smiled and said with some embarrassment: "I'm not desperate, I want to stay at your house for a while..."
Ye Ling glanced at the uncle who had fallen so far, he suddenly felt that the uncle was very pitiful, there were so many people who befriended the uncle at the beginning, but now the uncle is in trouble, but no one has reached out to him.
'It's hard to change a confidant...'
Ye Ling couldn't bear it, and nodded in agreement.
Ye Ling opened the door and led the uncle into the house of about seventy square meters, he wanted to open his mouth and ask the uncle to wash the dust on his body, but the uncle ran into the bathroom before he spoke.
'Uncle's temperament is still so hot. ’
Ye Ling closed the door, and he walked into an old bedroom, which was already covered with dust, and it seemed that no one had lived in it for a long time.
He took out a set of clothes from the closet that he thought was about the size of his uncle, dusted it off, and sent it to the bathroom door.
"Uncle, I'll put a change of clothes at the door for you. Ye Ling shouted at the door.
"Okay. ”
After getting the uncle's response, Ye Ling turned around and walked to the door of the other bedroom, and before reaching out to knock on the door, he hesitated.
This is his sister's bedroom, when he was a child, Ye Ling's relationship with his sister was actually not bad, and it was an accident that caused their relationship to deteriorate.
Ye Ling thought about it, this trip may take many days, so he can't say hello and not fight, right?
Thinking of this, Ye Ling mustered up the courage to knock on the door twice.
For a long time, there was no movement in the bedroom, Ye Ling smiled bitterly, although this situation has long been commonplace, but this feeling of being left out is really uncomfortable.
Just as Ye Ling turned around and was about to leave, the door opened unexpectedly, and a young girl leaned lazily against the door.
The girl's appearance is lovely, her facial features are exquisite, and she has a sunny shoulder-length short hair, just in the season of the bean crown, she has a bit of a fresh and refined taste, if she grows up for another two years, she will fade away from the childishness on her body, and she must be the next generation of Xi Shi who sinks fish and geese.
"Is there something wrong?" Ye Lan ignored Ye Ling.
Ye Ling was stunned, looking at Ye Lan's indifferent appearance, he didn't know how to speak.
"If it's okay, I'll go to sleep first. After speaking, Ye Lan made a gesture to close the door.
"My colleagues from the company organized a tour, and I also participated, I was afraid that you would not be able to take care of yourself, and I wanted you to go with me. Ye Ling hurriedly said.
"I don't want to be with a murderer. Ye Lan said coldly.
Ye Ling's face sank, Ye Lan's sentence of being a murderer made his heart ache faintly, and he was silent, because only he knew the truth of the matter, and he couldn't find any evidence that could clarify himself, and besides, he was the only one at the scene of the accident, no matter how he looked at it, his suspicion was not small.
"Are you okay?" Ye Lan asked.
"No, it's okay. ”
Ye Lan didn't care about Ye Ling's mood at all, she closed the door hard, isolating Ye Ling from the door.
'Why don't I even have the courage to open my mouth?'
A touch of self-deprecation appeared at the corner of Ye Ling's mouth, because he was afraid, whether it was fingerprints or the scene, all the evidence pointed to him. He was afraid that it would backfire, and when the time came, not only did he not find out the real culprit, but he also really accused himself of being a murderer.
"Little nephew, why are you in a daze?" Ye Cheng, who had finished taking a bath, walked behind Ye Ling and gently put his hand on Ye Ling's shoulder.
Ye Ling suddenly had an idea, anyway, the uncle is the one who lives in his house, please ask the uncle to take care of Ye Lan, it shouldn't be a problem, right?
"Uncle, the company is traveling in a group, I may have to go out for a few days, can you please help me take care of Xiaolan?" Ye Ling was a little embarrassed, although the uncle sent people to the fence, but when he was a child, the uncle also treated him well.
"Ye Lan's eldest lady's problem hasn't changed?" Ye Cheng asked.
Ye Ling nodded ashamedly, no way, this is all what he is used to.
"No problem, you can rest assured to play, and leave the matter of taking care of Ye Lan to me. Ye Cheng smiled heartily, he thought so in his heart, he couldn't eat and drink for nothing.
Ye Ling glanced at the uncle gratefully.
After the uncle's accommodation was arranged, Ye Ling went back to his room to sleep with confidence.
