Inside the flower shop.
"Boss!!!" Bai Xi, who had just finished paying for a customer, saw Lin Fei, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, walking into the store and greeted him quickly.
Lin Fei nodded and said with a smile, "I stewed some beef and brought it to you to try."
As he spoke, he grabbed his right hand to his side, and a large box of beef stew appeared in his hand.
When Bai Xi came out of the cashier, Lin Fei handed over the stewed beef and said happily, "Thank you, boss."
"Where are the others?" Lin Fei asked suspiciously when he saw Bai Xi was the only one in the store.
"Qin Shiyu is washing fruits upstairs, and the new one has gone out to deliver goods." Bai Xi explained that as for Chen Peipei, after school started, she could only work part-time in the store on weekends.
Regarding Niu Tao, the new delivery boy in the store, Lin Fei had heard from Bai Xi before that he had already become a cashier and collected the bills every month, so he didn't want to bother asking about anything else.
Looking back at the bright sun outside, Lin Fei thought for a while and casually mentioned, "It's a bit hot outside, so we can arrange less delivery orders for him."
"Okay, boss." Bai Xi nodded and responded.
"If you have anything you can't solve, you can call me... If there's nothing else, I'm leaving." Lin Fei said, then turned and left.
Shortly after Lin Fei left, Qin Shiyu came down from upstairs with a few washed apples, "Hey, where did the beef stew come from?"
"The boss stewed it, bring it to us to try..." Bai Xi took the apple from Qin Shiyu's hand and took a small bite.
"Oh." Qin Shiyu also took a bite of the apple, "When will Niu Tao come back?"
"There are a lot of orders today. He may not be able to come back until after five o'clock." Bai Xi said.

In the afternoon, due to the hot weather in Rongcheng Central District, the situation on the road was a little deserted and less lively than in the past.
There are not many pedestrians and fewer vehicles on the streets.
At first glance, there were only a few customers in the shops on the roadside, but the cold drink shops were doing brisk business.
Jing Mu, a member of the Purple Orchid organization who has been in China for a few days, did not go to monitor Qin Shiyu today. He came here and walked to the nearby commercial square.
There is a fountain in front of the square, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going. Compared with the lively atmosphere in other places, Jing Mu is silent.
Jing Mu found a place under the shade of a tree and stood, silently watching the lively scene at the main entrance of the commercial plaza.
People were coming in and out with happy faces, laughter and laughter, and a few children were playing around the fountain in the square.
There is a lot of affection, and several couples are cuddling with each other on the roadside.
It was more about family reunions, walking together, buying clothes, or watching movies, while Jing Mu just stayed out of it, standing in the distance by himself, acting as a bystander.
From afternoon to dusk, the sky is getting darker, and the main entrance of the commercial plaza is becoming more and more lively.
There was a lot of joy and a lot of people, but Jing Mu, who likes quietness, found it a bit noisy.
"What a peaceful country!!!" Jing Mu, who had been to many countries and was attacked by strange beasts when he finally left South Vietnam, couldn't help but sigh.
At the same time, after these days of investigation, Jing Mu, who has some understanding of the efficiency of the Rongcheng Superpower Management Bureau in handling cultivator cases, has become more cautious and less daring to take action when dealing with Qin Shiyu, the mission target.
"These days, the investigators' patrols have become more frequent, and they are also stepping up their efforts to deploy some tower-like equipment with unknown effects, making it even more difficult for me to attack the target...
Is my 100% mission completion rate going to be broken this time?" Jing Mu murmured to himself as he looked at the lively and peaceful scene in front of him.
As luck would have it, because of the space crack incident, Rongcheng's secret alert level has indeed been raised a lot, which makes Jing Mu, who wants to take advantage of the loophole, feel even more uncomfortable.
…………
After get off work, Niu Tao, who was holding a small box of beef handed to him by the flower shop manager Bai Xi, was filled with thoughts.
Although he has only worked in this flower shop for a few days, Niu Tao already likes his current job.
Compared with the jobs I found before, my current job is ridiculously good.
Not to mention that the combined base salary plus commission is ridiculously high, but the colleagues are all beautiful women, with good personalities, and considerate, and the boss, whom I have never met, actually sends beef stew to the employees in the store. This... this
It's something I couldn't imagine before.
"I have been unlucky for so long, but now I really have good luck...
Now that I have the money to rent a house, my top priority is to change to a more comfortable living environment and find a better house!"
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and he couldn't stay in that sweltering rental house for a whole day.
After his salary was paid on the 1st, Niu Tao had already started looking for a new house. After get off work these days, he went to several communities with the housing agency to look around.
Today, as soon as he got off work and had dinner, he immediately went to see a real estate agent.
After looking at several more places, he felt that a 35-square-meter single apartment in Taoxi Garden Community in the East District was quite good. It faced south, was well-decorated, and had a double-story indoor layout.
The upper part is a sleeping loft, and the lower part is a large living room, as well as an independent kitchen and bathroom. The floor-to-ceiling window balcony also offers some nice views.
But the rent is a bit expensive, 2,500 a month, and it comes with a refrigerator, air conditioner, washing machine, water heater and broadband.
"Please tell the landlord that the deposit of one and two is too much. Is it OK to deposit one and pay one? If it is OK, I will rent it." Although the rent of this single apartment is several times that of the shabby rental house, Niu Tao still
Would not hesitate to rent it.
"...The landlord agreed, let's sign the contract!" The real estate agent named Lin made a phone call to the landlord, and the other party was very happy.
Subsequently, the housing agent took out the contract from his handbag and asked Niu Tao to sign it, and received 5,000 yuan.
After cleaning up the newly rented house, Niu Tao moved in that night with a trolley suitcase.
As for the fat landlord who broke down the rental house, Niu Tao also called her to inform her, saying that he had moved out now, and the rental deposit of several hundred yuan could be refunded if he could, but he couldn't... He also
Don't care anymore!
A new life has begun, let those unbearable past pass forever!
"Cool and comfortable!" The remote control adjusted the air conditioner above his head to 16 degrees. In the cool breeze, Niu Tao, who was lying on the solid wood bed with open arms, couldn't help but let out a soft groan.
After lying down for a while, Niu Tao put in his hands the new mobile phone that cost him 1,999 yuan and claimed to "charge in five minutes and talk for three hours" on the bedside.
Click on the shopping software on the screen to see when some of the items you ordered yesterday will arrive.
"The package has been sent and is expected to arrive in Rongcheng City in one day..."
"Let the store manager send me more orders tomorrow, and try to save 100,000 yuan this year, so that I can go home and have a good New Year." Niu Tao said to himself.
…………
In the evening, a large dark cloud came from the east, and soon it enveloped the entire eastern district of Rongcheng.
It was almost dinner time, Lin Fei ended the game he had been playing hard for all afternoon, got up and went to the kitchen to make dinner.
As soon as I finished washing the rice, it began to rain heavily outside, and it soon became heavier.
"Boom..." The sky and the ground were illuminated from time to time, and the heart-shaking thunder resounded throughout the night. No matter how magnificent the neon lights were, they could not cover up the light of lightning, and a layer of water soon accumulated on the road.
"It's finally cooler, the weather is terrible! Autumn will come soon!" Lin Fei muttered as he put the washed rice into the pot.
The night is getting deeper, and the rain outside has become lighter, but it has not stopped. The sound of pattering rain echoes indoors along with the crisp voices of the three brothers, the colorful flowers and the sparrows.
The rain didn't stop until about four o'clock in the morning the next day. Lin Fei left the window open, causing a lot of rain to blow into the room, but it stayed cool all night.
Although the room is not hot at all with the air conditioner on, the natural breeze is always much more comfortable.
After a dreamless night, Lin Fei woke up early, got up, washed up, and had a simple breakfast.
When we came to the balcony, the colorful flowers were not in the pots. They had gone out early with the three sparrow brothers, and they didn’t know where to go to play.
Looking through the anti-theft fence, it seems that there was no rain that night yesterday, and the water accumulated on the road has completely disappeared. The ground is still dry, and a scorching sun hangs in the sky, which seems to indicate that today will be good weather again... Hot
Gotta die!
…………
In a luxury club in Rongcheng East District, in the private room of a senior employee.
At half past six in the morning, Tang Ling woke up on time on the double bed.
Because I drank a lot with Xiaoyan last night, my head hurts a little now.
"Uh...this..." Tang Ling, who was drinking a piece of wine, felt a gentle breathing next to him. He turned around and saw that his breathing suddenly stopped.
I saw Xiaoyan lying quietly beside him, completely different from her usual cold and charming look, she looked as peaceful as a sleeping beauty.
He looked at his own clothes and then at the other person's clothes. Both of them were dressed neatly. It seemed like nothing happened last night.
Tang Ling got up lightly, and Xiaoyan suddenly opened her eyes.
"Sister Yan, did I wake you up?" Tang Ling looked at Xiaoyan's pretty face, scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment.
"No..." Xiaoyan shook her head, looked at Tang Ling who looked embarrassed and said with a smile, "Why, are you just going to leave just for a look? Yesterday you held my hand and asked me to be your girlfriend.
You were very courageous back then!"
"Um..." The memory of confessing to Xiaoyan suddenly came to mind, and Tang Ling's face suddenly turned red.
Xiaoyan smiled, looking at Tang Ling's embarrassed look, she felt very happy.
"I...I..." Tang Ling hesitated, and when he saw Xiaoyan looking at him with a teasing expression, he gritted his teeth and said.
"I just like you, Sister Yan. What I said yesterday is from my heart. Sister Yan, are you willing to be my girlfriend?"
Xiaoyan didn't expect that Tang Ling would dare to confess to her after sobering up. Now it was her turn to be betrayed.
"You're staying out for the night. I'm afraid your sister is too anxious to go back as soon as possible." Xiaoyan, who was betrayed by the general, changed the subject.
"Sister Yan, you..."
"Go back, I want to catch up on my sleep..."
"Uh...Okay! I'll go home first."
Tang Ling left the room without getting a reply. Xiaoyan rubbed her forehead, her mouth slightly raised, and then she fell asleep deeply because she couldn't resist the sleepiness.
…………
The fresh air in the morning makes people feel relaxed and happy. There are not many cars on the street, and most of the pedestrians are elderly adults.
The breakfast vendors on the street had already opened for business. Tang Ling jogged along the way home. He went around the downstairs of his community several times and ran for nearly an hour before returning home.
There was the sound of dishes clattering in the kitchen. Tang Ling went back to the room to get a change of clothes and took a cold shower.
"Good morning! Sister." Tang Ling walked to the table and said hello, but Tang Ya didn't respond or even raised her head.
Embarrassment had to be faced. Tang Ling smiled bitterly and sat down to eat breakfast. The dining table was unusually quiet, with only the sounds of gentle chewing and swallowing from time to time.
"You didn't go home last night." Tang Ya suddenly lowered her head and said.
"Huh??" Tang Ling subconsciously raised his head and glanced at his sister, knowing that she must have gone to his room to look again, so Tang Ling didn't defend himself, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only bite the bullet and whisper "Yeah"
One sound.
"Where are you going?" Tang Ya asked calmly, with no emotion or anger in her tone.
"..." Tang Ling stopped his chopsticks and remained silent. He had promised his sister before that he would resign after school started, but now he naturally didn't dare to let him know.
"There is a scent on your clothes." Tang Ya said.
"..." Tang Ling thought to himself that the elder sister must have checked his clothes just now when he returned to the room after taking a shower.
"This smell doesn't resemble the smell of a little girl." Tang Ya raised her head and looked at her brother with certainty.
It is not a man's privilege to know women by smell. Women often know women much better than men. Tang Ya judged the age of the woman from the smell of her brother's clothes, and she was probably a mature woman.
"Why don't you speak?" Tang Ya gently placed her chopsticks on the table, her tone as calm as ever, and there was no trace of her inner thoughts from her face.
"It seems that you are planning to hide it from me?" Tang Ya's eyes showed disappointment, but more of a loss.
"No..." Looking at the expression on the elder sister's face, Tang Ling felt uncomfortable.
"No?" Tang Ya stared into her brother's eyes and said slowly, "Okay...who is she? How old is she?"
"..." If he told the woman that she was a senior executive of the club, Tang Ling could foresee how violently his sister would react, so before he could think of how to explain, he chose silence again.
Tang Ya stared at her dependent brother for a long time, expecting him to tell her what was in his heart, but she was disappointed.
She shook her head slightly in disappointment and said, "You are an adult too. I hope you can understand what you are doing. Sister, I can't control you anymore. From now on... it's up to you!"
Tang Ya's words made Tang Ling's heart twitch hard and his nose suddenly sore. He shouted with a slightly trembling voice, "Sister..."
