Chapter 295: Annual Meeting (5)

One serving of garlic oysters in the left hand, one serving of sizzling squid in the right hand, a large plate of fried pho in the middle, and a large handful of skewered shrimp. Chen Yun and Qiao Yingying sat by the food stall that had been set up simply, waving their chopsticks at the food in front of them. One of them is gentle and moving, the other is classical and exquisite, and people who come and go will always unconsciously turn their eyes on them when they pass by, and their eyes are full of amazement.

There were many vendors in the crowd who carried baskets and frames peddling small goods, and soon someone came to sell them to them. And after Qiao Yingying bought it very easily, the vendors next to her gathered like ants seeing honey, some selling ornaments made of shells and pearls, some selling corals, starfish, jellyfish, some selling squid silk cuttlefish silk, and even selling sandals and swimsuits, and surrounded their tables.

While they were selling their wares, they praised the two of them from top to bottom, and the enthusiasm was really unbearable. Qiao Yingying and Chen Yun had to buy several of each before the crowd dispersed. And on the table in front of them there were a bunch of "specialties" from Pearl City.

"You're from out of town, aren't you? Pack it up, it's worth paying for it. The owner of the food stall gave them a plastic bag and shook his head with a smile.

"Thank you, boss." Qiao Yingying took the bag and said curiously, "But how do you know that we are from out of town?"

The boss shouted: "Who is a local who buys these!" It's all pitsβ€”"

The boss suddenly stopped talking, looked embarrassed, and grinned: "Only tourists buy souvenirs!" You eat slowly, I'm busy. ”

That's right. Qiao Yingying thought about it, and at the same time looked at the crowd playing in the water and sand on the beach not far away, and suddenly felt itchy, and said to Chen Yun: "Sister Yun, let's go to the beach to play too, I just bought sandals." ”

"Okay, let's change our shoes and go." Chen Yun happily agreed, and the two changed their shoes on the spot, and ran to the beach with a bag of specialties.

Back at the hotel, Tang Miao sat in front of the dresser, closed her eyes and asked the assistant to remove her makeup.

"Ruoyi, it seems that the hotel is holding some kind of top 100 enterprise exchange meeting today, there are a lot of luxury cars coming in and out, and it looks like the formation is quite big." The assistant said as he poured makeup remover onto a cotton pad.

"What? Want to meet the big boss? Tang Miao hooked the corners of her lips and said lightly.

"How is it possible, that won't take a fancy to me. And they're all getting old, and I don't want any money anymore. The assistant pursed his lips and said, remembering something and looking excited, "But I seem to have heard that there are two handsome guys among the people who came tonight, and they are rich, powerful and young, and I want to take a look at them when I hear them." ”

Tang Miao didn't answer, and after a while, he frowned and said, "You mean the top 100 enterprise exchange meeting?" ”

"That's right, I read the sign in the hall that says so." The assistant said.

Could it be him? Tang Miao pursed her lips, sat up suddenly, and picked up the mobile phone on the dresser.

"You go out first." She said to her assistant.

"But the makeup hasn't been removed yet... Okay, okay. Her face suddenly turned cold, and the assistant hurriedly put down her things and hurried out of the room.

After she left, Tang Miao dialed the number of General Secretary Ma, and after a few words, she hung up the phone and laughed softly.

It's really fateful.

Refreshing sea breezes, cool waters, soft sandy beaches, and lively crowds. Qiao Yingying stepped on the fine sand, wading through the waves of the sea, her little face was bent and happy.

From time to time, she and Chen Yun bent down to grope in the sand at their feet, and when they touched something, they took it out and took a closer look, often picking up beautiful little shells, and the hems of their skirts were wet.

After playing for a long time, Qiao Yingying felt a little tired, so she said to Chen Yun: "Sister Yun, let's rest for a while." ”

"Okay." Chen Yun nodded, and walked with Qiao Yingying to a nearby reef, where the specialty they bought was hidden under a stone.

"Two beauties, do you want a pearl necklace? There are also shell necklaces, ten yuan a string, and it is good to take them back as a souvenir. A middle-aged woman hugged a basket and said with a smile on her face.

Qiao Yingying was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Ten yuan a string?" ”

The woman thought she was too expensive, and hurriedly said, "I can give you a cheaper, that, five yuan a string, this is the lowest price." ”

Qiao Yingying's eyes widened: "Five yuan a string?!" ”

Chen Yun also frowned: "You sold us fifty yuan a bunch before, this is too dark, right?" ”

The women were stunned for a moment, but after a closer look, they remembered that they were the two at the food stall before, and immediately smiled: "This... I've sold you the best necklaces, much better than mine, so they're a little more expensive... Now that you've already bought it, I won't bother! ”

As she spoke, she quickly left and blended into the crowd, Qiao Yingying looked at her back, angry and annoyed: "I was deceived again!" ”

"Forget it, I've bought it all, just pay attention next time." Chen Yun comforted her, and the two continued to walk towards the reef.

The location was very remote, the light was not so sufficient, and the shadows between the reefs were even darker and could not be seen clearly, and when they got closer, they found that there was a child squatting there in the place where the things were hidden, burying his head and not knowing what he was doing.

Qiao Yingying and Chen Yun glanced at each other, walked over gently, and said softly: "Little friend, why are you here, are you separated from your family?" ”

Hearing her voice, the child was visibly startled, and his whole body trembled, but he shrank his body and buried his head lower.

"Don't be afraid, my sister is not a bad person." Qiao Yingying saw that his clothes were thin, and the vertebrae on his back were protruding, and she felt pity in her heart, and stretched out her hand to her while softly comforting her.

Just when her fingers were about to touch the child, the little body that was shrunk into a ball suddenly picked up the bag in front of her, twisted her body and hit Qiao Yingying hard with her head, knocking her to the ground, and ran out quickly.

"Yingying!" Chen Yun was shocked and was about to help her, but she heard Qiao Yingying shout bitterly, "Sister Yun, catch this little villain!" ”

She was stunned for a moment, and saw that the child was running in her direction, very fast, and stretched out her hand to stop him with no certainty, but sure enough, he twisted and dodged away. Turning around, she saw the child running and turning back and grimacing at her, and she was a little angry, when she saw him stumble under his feet, and the whole person threw himself on the ground, and fell into a dog eating.

She couldn't help but laugh out loud, and quickly ran forward to pull the little boy up, holding his hand firmly to prevent him from slipping away.

Qiao Yingying rubbed her painful stomach and walked over, first glared at the little boy viciously, seeing that he grinned as if he had fallen painfully, a trace of pity appeared in her heart, and then she instantly restrained herself, and said fiercely: "At a young age, why do you want to steal?" ”

The little boy lowered his head and didn't speak, looking at the things scattered all over the place and wanted to pick them up, but his body couldn't move, so he was so anxious that he asked Chen Yun next to him for help: "Sister, beautiful sister, can you let me pick up the things first?" Please! ”

His Mandarin had a dialect accent, and there was an anxious look on his little face, Chen Yun hesitated for a moment and looked at Qiao Yingying.

Qiao Yingying snorted: "I'll pick it up, you stay there." ”
