Chapter 508 Invitation (two chapters in one)
“Huh…”
“Rust, rustle…”
The strong wind caused by the sudden change in weather blew the villa The vegetation in the courtyard was shaking constantly, and the branches and leaves collided with each other, making a dense noise that could be clearly heard by everyone in the house.
Qin Muqing carried the quilts that were drying in the courtyard into the house and put them on the sofa first. At this time, there was a sound from the glass window of the house.
"Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock..."
It was raining, and the heavy raindrops falling from the sky hit the window. As the rain became heavier and heavier, the raindrops hitting the window immediately formed a trail of rain marks. It flowed along the window sill to the ground.
There was a strong wind outside the house, and the threads formed by the rain danced in the wind.
Qin Muqing stood in front of the window, looking at the scene outside the house, thinking that if she had been a minute late to collect the quilts in the courtyard to dry, they would have all been soaked by the rain today. She had no quilt to cover her at night.
Layers of dark clouds shrouded most of Dongwu City, and the sky became completely dark. On both sides of the streets paved with bluestone bricks, street lamps using spiritual energy as energy were all lit up. Residents running through heavy rain provided light.
"Don't take shelter under the tree, you will be struck by lightning. Come here quickly." The shopkeeper of a shop on the roadside saw several young people taking shelter under the tree and shouted to them quickly.
"Thank you, it's okay, we won't be so unlucky..." The young man taking shelter under the tree did not take the shopkeeper's reminder seriously and said with a smile.
As soon as the young man finished speaking, a scene happened not far from them that scared them out of their wits.
"Boom."
A bright silver-white electric light shot out from the dark clouds, splitting a tall tree on the roadside and burning it.
"Oh my God!" Several young people who had not taken the storekeeper's warning seriously a second ago screamed in horror.
Then they rushed towards the shopkeeper on the roadside, who was calling them to come inside to take shelter from the rain.
On rainy days, it is rare for thunder and lightning to hit the trees in the city. Several young people who took shelter under the trees were also unlucky. Such a thing happened not far from them. place.
Qin Muqing took the dried quilts to the second and third floors. She first spread her own quilt, and then went to the third floor to spread her quilts in the lined rooms.
I had just laid out the quilt and was about to go to the restaurant on the first floor to continue eating my simple dinner when I suddenly heard an extremely loud thunder coming from outside the window.
"Ah! There's a fire." He came to the window and looked into the distance. Standing high and seeing far, Qin Muqing, who was in front of the window on the third floor, saw a big tree on fire in the distance at a glance.
“The big tree must have been hit by the lightning just now, which caused the fire... Fortunately, the trees in the courtyard of my home are not very tall, otherwise they are likely to suffer damage. Lightning strikes.”
Qin Muqing stood in front of the window for a while and looked at the big tree on fire in the distance. It was raining heavily outside, and the big tree on fire was extinguished by the downpour from the sky. At this time, she also left Lin Li's room. , walked downstairs.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The terrible thunder exploded again and again, frightening some people who were afraid of thunder.
Qin Muqing finished her dinner quickly, returned to her bedroom, lay on the bed, pulled the quilt, and covered her whole body.
"Why is the thunder so endless?" Qin Muqing was the only one at home, and Qin Muqing couldn't help but feel a little scared in such thunderous weather.
"Boom..."
There were several deafening thunders, and Qin Muqing quickly retracted his head into the quilt.
Hiding in bed, the quilt weakened the loud thunder outside a lot.
"When will Mr. Lin come back? Could something have happened to him?"
Qin Muqing's muttering voice came from the bed. In such lightning and thundering weather, she felt more anxious than ever before. I hope Lin Li can be at home.
…………
On the mysterious island surrounded by white mist, Lin Li, with a wet towel hanging from his neck, stopped cultivating the fields in his hands.
He held the hoe with his left hand, took the wet towel off his neck with his right hand, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Huh..."
Lin Li took a long breath, patted his waist with his hand, and then looked at the nearly one thousand square meters of land he had cultivated, with a satisfied smile on his face. .
Although I haven't thought about what to plant in the newly cultivated fields, looking at the expansion of the field, I feel a joy that is no less than when harvesting the magical little fruit.
"I spent an afternoon in vain! Looking back, what crops should I plant in the vacant fields?" Lin Li looked at the nearly two acres of fields he had cultivated with his own hands, and his face was filled with emotion. Is talking to himself with a bright smile.
Then he walked out of the cultivated field and left the mysterious island with some fresh strawberries picked not long ago.
.........
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was about to set. The bright red sunset not only dyed most of the sky red, but also changed the color of some snow-white clouds.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the glass into the empty living room, creating a bright red color on the tiles.
Suddenly, a figure wearing black training clothes appeared out of thin air in the quiet living room.
After a busy afternoon on the mysterious island, Lin Li returned home and put a bag of fresh strawberries on the coffee table. Then he quickly returned to the bedroom to get clothes and take a shower.
After working in the fields all afternoon, I sweated a lot and got a lot of dust on my body.
The first thing you do when you get home is to wash your body quickly.
The sound of gurgling water came from the bathroom. Lin Li was standing under the shower head, singing a song while taking a bath.
Although you are tone-deaf, there is no need to be embarrassed if no one can hear you when you sing alone.
After a while, Lin Li came out of the bathroom after taking a shower. He went to the living room and picked up a bag of fresh strawberries he picked and took it to the kitchen.
The sound of gurgling water flowed in the kitchen for a few minutes, and then the sound of footsteps came, and a refreshed Lin Li walked into the living room with a plate of washed strawberries in his hand.
"It tastes so good. If I set up a stall in the fruit market to sell strawberries, the strawberry sellers would probably lose their business."
Lin Li was eating the delicious strawberries he grew. I thought with great joy.
After eating a dozen fresh big strawberries in a row, Lin Li looked at the sky outside the window and felt that it was almost time for him to have dinner.
He worked in the fields all afternoon today and felt a little tired. He didn't want to cook in the evening.
With a thought in his mind, the mobile phone placed on the table on the mysterious island disappeared and appeared in his hand.
The mobile phone returned to Blue Star and regained its signal, and immediately made a sound.
Lin Li opened the text message and looked at it. It was a missed call reminder sent by the operator.
"In the afternoon, Liu Jialin called me...she probably wanted to tell me about the review!"
After reading the missed message from the operator, The phone message reminded Lin Li that after thinking for a moment, he probably guessed what Liu Jialin was going to say when she called him in the afternoon.
After calling back, there was a beep from the phone. After three or four seconds, the call was connected. "Hello." Liu Jialin's hearty voice came from the phone.
"Liu Jialin, I'm sorry, I didn't receive your call in the afternoon. What's the reason for you calling me?" Lin Li said.
Liu Jialin, who was about to go home from get off work, stopped and answered the phone on the roadside.
“That’s it, I want to tell you that your review has passed.
Regarding the qualification certificate for undertaking outsourcing cases, it will be produced tomorrow. You can take the time to come to the bureau tomorrow to get the qualification certificate. ”
Lin Li guessed that Liu Jialin called him in the afternoon to talk about the review.
But he didn’t expect that not only did he pass the review, but he also had the qualification certificate to undertake outsourcing cases. , he was surprised that he could get it the next day.
“You can get the qualification certificate so quickly, how efficient you are! "
When Liu Jialin heard Lin Li praising the efficiency of the Superpower Management Bureau, a bright smile appeared on her face and she said proudly.
"Our Superpower Management Bureau always pays attention to efficiency and can get things done as quickly as possible without delay."
"Thank you for your internal recommendation, let me treat you to a meal!" Lin Li invited.
"You're welcome. I took the initiative to find you this time. I hope you can participate.
And even without my internal recommendation, with your clean file, add If you have strong enough cultivation skills and pass the review, it is a sure thing to get the qualification certificate," Liu Jialin said with a smile.
"You still have to pay for the meal. Although you said it easily, I think you must have been worried about it during the process." Lin Li said politely.
Although he is not good at people and sophistication, at the most basic level, if someone helps you, you can still treat them to a meal.
After chatting for a while, Lin Li and Liu Jialin made an appointment to have a meal.
"Okay, let's do it! Let's talk when we get there." Liu Jialin saw an acquaintance walking towards her in the distance and said to Lin Li.
"Okay, I'm going out now, and we'll talk when we get there." Lin Li responded, and then hung up the phone.
After finishing the call with Liu Jialin, Lin Li stood up and went back to the bedroom, took off his vest and beach shorts, and changed into new clothes he bought when he went shopping with Su Yue.
Lin Li walked out of the bedroom and walked into the kitchen. After a while, he walked out with a red plastic bag in his hand.
Through the plastic bag, you can see that there are many large and bright strawberries inside.
Lin Li planned to give Liu Jialin a bag of large strawberries grown by himself after dinner with him later.
…………
“Liu Jialin, are you ready to go home from get off work?” Wang Jing said with a smile.
Liu Jialin, who had just finished a phone call with Lin Li, smiled and nodded, "Yes, I am getting ready to go home. How about you! Are you going home from get off work too?"
Wang Jing shook her head and said, "Tonight I have to be on duty.”
“That’s it!” Liu Jialin said a little. Curiously, she asked in a low voice, "Are you going to lead the team on some mission tonight?"
Wang Jing looked at Liu Jialin, whose eyes were full of curiosity, and just said that she was indeed going to lead the team tonight. When she went out to perform a mission, she did not inform Liu Jialin of the specific details of the mission.
Liu Jialin did not feel any displeasure at Wang Jing's silence about the specific details of the mission.
Although everyone is colleagues and friends, some tasks are required to be kept confidential. Even if they are colleagues, friends, or family members, they cannot be disclosed before the task is performed.
"Okay, I understand. I wish you all the best in your mission tonight." Liu Jialin smiled and gave her best wishes to her friend.
After the two of them finished chatting, Wang Jing walked to the internal canteen of the Superpower Management Bureau and had dinner early because he had to lead a team to perform a mission in the evening.
Liu Jialin looked away from her leaving friend, and then started walking towards the parking spot.
After a while, a private car drove out of the Superpower Management Bureau.
Liu Jialin, who was driving the car, recalled the location of the restaurant where she and Lin Li had made an appointment to have dinner, turned the steering wheel, turned the car, and drove to the destination in an orderly manner.
…………
The sun goes down, night falls over the whole city, and the street lights turn on.
A silver-white van stopped at a parking space on the roadside. The door opened and Lin Li, wearing a white T-shirt and beige casual pants, got out of the car.
Not far from the parking location, there is a hot pot restaurant.
The place where Lin Li and Liu Jialin made an appointment to eat was the hot pot restaurant not far ahead.
Under the billboard in front of the hot pot restaurant, Liu Jialin was playing with her mobile phone, waiting for Lin Li to arrive.
"Liu Jialin."
A familiar voice rang in her ears. Liu Jialin, who was playing with her mobile phone, raised her head and looked for the sound.
“Lin Li, you are here!”
"I've kept you waiting."
"I've only just arrived."
When Lin Li came to Liu Jialin, he noticed that many eyes were focused on him and Liu Jialin. On the body.
Although these glances include men and women, most of them are men.
After getting off work, Liu Jialin took off her investigator uniform and changed into casual clothes.
Today, her style of dressing changed from her usual hot style to a fashionable one.
A white shirt, black trousers, and a pair of low-heeled shoes. Her thighs are slender, revealing a section of crystal straight and slender calves.
The iconic black and shiny big waves are draped directly on the shoulders, floating slightly with the steps of walking.
Coupled with Liu Jialin's pretty face without any makeup, at this moment, her whole person exudes elegance.
"Um... Liu Jialin's style today is so different from the past!" Lin Li recalled the several previous meetings with Liu Jialin, who always had a hot style, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Lin Li, I'm so hungry! Let's go into the store and eat quickly!" Liu Jialin said with a grin, her elegant temperament disappearing in an instant.
"Yes." Lin Li nodded with a smile, and then walked with Liu Jialin to the busy hot pot restaurant nearby.
