"Di Di Di ......" A taxi came from the intersection and stopped directly in front of Jin Ming, the door opened, and Ma Xiaoyao walked out of the car.

"Brother, you're here." Jin Ming's face was happy.

Ma Xiaoyao smiled: "I'm really sorry, there is a traffic jam on the road, so I came late......" As he spoke, Ma Xiaoyao handed the fare to the taxi driver, and after the driver got the fare, he drove the taxi away, Ma Xiaoyao turned his head to look at Jin Ming: "Did the coast guard send the yacht back?" ”

Jin Ming shook his head: "Not yet." ”

Ma Xiaoyao frowned: "The efficiency is really low...... Let's wait. ”

After waiting for more than two hours, Zhang Hang, the coast guard, finally sent the yacht back, the yacht was carefully repaired, the lack of paint was also repaired, and the faults were repaired.

After a few words of greeting with Ma Yaoyao, Zhang Hang returned directly on another speedboat.

"Jin Ming, let's go meet your boss." Ma Xiaoyao beckoned Jin Ming to get on the yacht, Jin Ming skillfully drove the yacht to the southeast, and more than ten minutes later, the yacht stopped at the edge of a port.

As soon as Ma Xiaoyao and Jin Ming came ashore, they saw a thin old man walking opposite, this old man was Jin Ming's boss, that is, the person who rented Ma Xiaoyao's yacht.

"Boss." Jin Ming greeted respectfully.

"You're back!" The old man strode over.

Ma Xiaoyao said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I encountered some things at sea, so I came back late." ”

"How? Have you found your missing friend? The old man asked.

Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "Found it." ”

"You're in luck...... Hehe......" the old man laughed.

"We encountered a storm at sea, the yacht was overturned by a huge wave, and then the coast guard helped me pull the yacht back, and at the same time the coast guard also repaired it...... "Ma Xiaoyao said embarrassedly: "There is a problem with the yacht, you can deduct some more money from my deposit......"

"Isn't that what you mean, hasn't the yacht been repaired? Now that it's fixed, it's fine. The old man waved his hand generously: "It's too windy here, let's find a secluded place to talk, shall we?" As he spoke, the old man led Ma Xiaoyao and Jin Ming to a small room, which was covered with aluminum alloy, which was the place where the old man temporarily worked, and the small room had sofas and desks, and the layout was not bad.

The old man beckoned Ma Xiaoyao and Jin Ming to sit on the sofa, and then poured two cups of tea for Ma Xiaoyao and Jin Ming with his own hands.

Jin Ming briefly told the old man about his experience at sea.

After hearing this, the old man couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Your life is really big enough!" After chatting a few words, the old man returned the deposit of the yacht to Ma Xiaoyao, of course, the old man had already deducted the cost of renting the yacht.

The old man set a rent for Ma Xiaoyao is 1,000 yuan a day, Ma Xiaoyao has been drifting on the sea for a total of more than a month, so he paid nearly 40,000 yuan in rent, this trip to the sea, it cost Ma Xiaoyao several years of savings, but Ma Xiaoyao is not distressed at all, because the money is worth it, less than 40,000 yuan can be exchanged for Gu Li's life, it is too worthwhile.

After getting back the remaining deposit, Ma Xiaoyao got up and said goodbye.

Ma Xiaoyao walked towards the intersection, while secretly thinking that his mobile phone was damaged by the seawater, and he must find a mobile phone store with a mobile phone later.

"Brother!" There was a shout from behind.

Ma Xiaoyao turned around and found that it was Jin Ming who called him.

Jin Ming ran over panting: "Brother." ”

"How did you catch up? Is there something wrong? Ma Yao asked suspiciously.

Jin Ming exhaled and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm here to see you off...... Brother, to tell you the truth, I am reluctant to let you go......" After getting along at sea for more than a month, Jin Ming has already regarded Ma Xiaoyao as his own brother.

Ma Xiaoyao smiled, reached out and patted Jin Ming's shoulder: "Actually, I can't bear you...... Or...... Come with me...... I'll get you a job, it's definitely no worse than driving a yacht here. ”

"With you?" Jin Ming was a little moved, but after thinking about it, he finally shook his head: "I can't go with you...... The owner was kind to me, I can't just leave......"

"You think about it again......" Ma Xiaoyao advised.

"Brother, I really can't leave the boss, I can't live up to the boss's expectations......" Jin Ming's tone was very resolute.

"Alas......" Ma Yao sighed: "Then you can continue to stay here, and when I have time later, I will come to see you again." Speaking of this, Ma Xiaoyao told Jin Ming his mobile phone number: "Remember my mobile phone number, and if you encounter any difficulties in the future, call me directly." ”

Jin Ming chanted several times before he remembered Ma Xiaoyao's mobile phone number deeply in his mind: "Brother, I wish you a smooth journey!" ”

"Jin Ming, I have two gains from going to sea this time, one is to find my beloved woman, and the other is to know you." Ma Yao smiled.

"It's also a blessing for me to know you." Jin Ming also laughed.

After chatting a few words, Ma Xiaoyao turned around and walked to the intersection, stopped a taxi and left.

Looking at the taxi that was gradually disappearing, Jin Ming's eyes were a little moist: "Brother, have a good trip." ”

……

Blue Ocean City.

Municipal office building.

Inside the Office of the Executive Mayor.

Sun Maoqi sat in a large and soft office chair, holding a teacup in one hand, a cigarette in the other, and humming an unknown song in his mouth, not to mention how comfortable he looked.

Sun Maoqi has been in a very good mood lately, no, very, very good, why? Because Gu Li's plane crashed, and Gu Li disappeared in the sea, the search and rescue team searched at sea for more than half a month, and still did not find Gu Li's whereabouts.

Gu Li is more auspicious, isn't it very likely that the vacated mayor position will be taken over by Sun Maoqi?

According to the old rules, the mayor was transferred, or something happened, and the vacated position should be taken over by the executive vice mayor, of course, there will be other accidents, but the probability of changes is very low.

Sun Maoqi has always been unconvinced by Gu Li, the reason is very simple, because Gu Li is younger than him, and he is still a woman, and he is pressed by a woman every day, which makes Sun Maoqi very angry. Sun Maoqi has always believed that the reason why Gu Li was able to become the mayor of the city was purely by luck, and if it was about qualifications and ability, it would not be Gu Li's turn at all.

Sun Maoqi took a beautiful puff of cigarette, squinted his eyes, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "The ancients were so famous, this sentence is really right, isn't Gu Li just famous?" Hehe......"

"Boom!"

The door of the office was suddenly slammed open, and the secretary Chen Guang ran in in a panic: "Vice Mayor Sun, it's not good......"

Sun Maoqi frowned: "What's wrong?" As he spoke, Sun Maoqi lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

"Mayor Gu is back......" Chen Guang said with a gasp.

"Poof!" The tea that Sun Maoqi had just drunk in his mouth suddenly squirted out, wetting several copies of the text on the desk, Sun Maoqi couldn't care about wiping the few copies of the text on the table, and glared: "Chen Guang, what did you just say!" ”

"I see Mayor Gu coming back,......," Chen Guang repeated.

"You read that right?" Sun Maoqi asked.

Chen Guang shook his head: "Absolutely not...... Not only did I see it, but many people also saw Mayor Gu......"

Sun Maoqi's face suddenly became ugly: "This is impossible...... No way...... How could Guli come back...... Wasn't she missing at sea...... How is it possible to come back...... This is absolutely impossible...... "The beautiful thought was suddenly shattered, and the sense of loss made Sun Maoqi unable to accept it at all.

"Jingle Bell ......"

The phone on the desk rang suddenly.

Sun Maoqi took a deep breath and reached out to grab the microphone: "Hey...... Okay, I know......" After answering the phone, Sun Maoqi's face became even more ugly, just now the phone was called by Gu Li's secretary Li Xue, Li Xue said that Mayor Gu was going to have a meeting, and asked Sun Maoqi to hurry to the conference room, Sun Maoqi slowly put down the microphone: "Gu Li is really back...... She's really back......"

……

When the rest of the city hall heard that Gu Li had returned, they were all very surprised, this Gu Li's life was too hard, right? Disappeared at sea for more than a month, but came back unharmed? It's incredible!

As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are sad, for Gu Li's return, the people of the city government are in a different mood, and the people who are close to Gu Li are of course very happy, and those who have disputes and contradictions with Gu Li are in a bad mood.

After Gu Li returned to the city government, she first made a phone call to Liu Yuncai, the secretary of the municipal party committee, Liu Yuncai heard that Gu Li came back safe and sound, and was immediately very happy, and carefully inquired about Gu Li's escape, Gu Li did not hide it, and briefly said Ma Xiaoyao who went to sea to find her without fear of hardship.

Originally, Liu Yuncai was still thinking about who to take over Gu Li's position, Blue Ocean City couldn't always be without a mayor, just when Liu Yuncai had a headache about the candidate, Gu Li came back and immediately solved Liu Yuncai's problem.

After ending the call with Gu Li, Liu Yun called the provincial leaders directly to report that Gu Li came back safely, and the provincial leaders were very surprised when they heard that Gu Li came back safe and sound, and they all said that Gu Li's life was big, since Gu Li was back, then continue to let Gu Li be the mayor, and there is no need to arrange other candidates.

The city hall was packed, with Gu Li sitting in the main seat, and several deputy mayors and some city government staff sitting on either side of the desk.

Gu Li glanced at the people present: "During my absence, thanks to your conscientious work, the work of the city government can be operated normally, and here, I would like to say thank you to everyone." ”
