Blue Star.
On the lively island, after dawn, the tourists who came here came out of the hotel one after another to start today's itinerary.
Tomorrow is the last day of vacation, and I will officially start work the day after tomorrow.
Most of the tourists who come here will leave home tomorrow.
A taxi was driving on a flat road, turned a corner, and drove forward for a few minutes. The driver stopped the car on the side of the road.
The rear compartment door opened, and two figures, one large and one small, got out of the car.
"Mom, it's too late, let's go there quickly." Zhou Tongtong, wearing a sunhat with cartoon patterns and children's sunglasses, glanced at the electronic watch on her wrist and said eagerly.
"Yes." Xia Qing responded softly, then took her daughter's hand, stepped forward, and walked quickly to the dock in the distance.
A white ship docked on the coast, and many tourists lined up, waiting to check in and board the ship.
Xia Qing and Zhou Tongtong came to the back of the queue. Looking at the tourists in front who were still checking in to board the boat, the mother and daughter suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mom, what time is our flight tomorrow?" Zhou Tongtong asked.
"Eleven o'clock at noon." Xia Qing took out her mobile phone from her bag, checked the flight time, and replied to her daughter.
"Then we are going to have lunch on the plane." Zhou Tongtong said expectantly. She had flown several times but had never had lunch on the plane, so she was looking forward to it.
"The taste of lunch on the plane may disappoint you, so you have to be mentally prepared in advance." Xia Qing said with a smile.
The mother and daughter were chatting, and suddenly, Xia Qing’s cell phone rang in her bag.
Opening the bag, taking out the phone, and seeing the name displayed on the screen, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.
"Mom?" Zhou Tongtong called out when she saw Xia Qing holding the ringing mobile phone and not answering the call.
Xia Qing glanced at her daughter, touched the screen with her finger, and answered the call.
"Hello?"
"Xia Qing, aren't you at home?" Wang Haiyan stood at the door of Xia Qing's house and called. Just now she rang the doorbell and knocked on the door, but there was no response at all. She thought Xia Qing deliberately didn't open the door for her.
"I'm traveling abroad." Xia Qing replied expressionlessly.
When Wang Haiyan heard this, a look of jealousy suddenly appeared on her face, and then she said flatteringly, "I bought a free-range chicken to replenish Tongtong's health. I didn't expect you weren't at home! "
To be courteous for nothing, to be either a traitor or a thief... Xia Qing knew Wang Haiyan's character well, a few words flashed in her mind, and then she asked straightforwardly without beating around the bush.
"What's the matter with you?"
"Look at what you said, can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?" Wang Haiyan said shamelessly.
"..." Xia Qing was silent for a few seconds. When she saw that it was their mother and daughter's turn to check in for tickets and get on the ship, she said, "I'm going to check in for tickets soon. If there's nothing else, I'll do this first."
After saying that, Xia Qing was about to hang up the phone.
“Wait a minute.” Seeing that Xia Qing was about to hang up the phone, Wang Haiyan shouted quickly.
Xia Qing had a true expression on her face, and then she quietly waited for what the other party would say next.
"Xia Qing! I, I have something to ask you to help me with..." Wang Haiyan said hesitantly.
"If you want to borrow money, I don't have the money on hand right now." Xia Qing expressed her position first without asking what the matter was.
She has made it clear before that she will not give Wang Haiyan and his family a penny, but the other party is thicker than the city wall.
"Uh..." Wang Haiyan was speechless after hearing what Xia Qing said.
What she was talking about was borrowing money. Now that Xia Qing said this, no matter how thick-skinned she was, she was a little embarrassed to speak again.
"Miss, please show your ticket..." the staff said.
"Mom." Zhou Tongtong raised her hand and pulled Xia Qing's clothes and shouted.
The phone was not hung up. Xia Qing held the phone in her left hand, freed her right hand to open her bag, took out two ferry tickets and handed them to the staff.
After checking in, Xia Qing took Zhou Tongtong’s little hand and boarded the ship.
The mother and daughter came to the deck and looked at the endless sea in the distance.
“Ou, Ou, Ou…”
Some seagulls flew along the coast, making a series of crisp calls.
The water rises and falls, and so does the ship.
Zhou Tongtong was very excited and walked around on the deck, looking here and there.
Seeing that Wang Haiyan had not spoken, Xia Qing thought that the other party had hung up the phone. She moved her left hand holding the phone away, glanced at the phone screen, and found that the call was still on.
"If there's nothing else, let's leave it at that." Xia Qing wanted to hang up the phone again.
Wang Haiyan, who had been silent for a long time, shouted, "You still have at least 10 to 20 million in cash in the bank. How can you have no money?"
Xia Qing frowned when he heard this, "Not that much..."
"Even if it's not that much, it's still several million. It's impossible to have no money." Wang Haiyan said firmly.
"..." Xia Qing pondered for several seconds, then raised her hand to rub her eyebrows to calm down the irritability in her heart.
“That kid Zhou Qiang found a job, and the company asked him to pay a sum of money as a deposit before they could hire him. You also know the situation in my family, so I want to borrow it from you.
I promise you that when Zhou Qiang gets his salary later, he will pay back the money he owes you one by one. "Wang Haiyan explained what she wanted to ask for help with, and her attitude was very sincere.
Xia Qing just calmed down the irritability in her heart. After hearing what the other party said, she was stunned for a second, and then said in disbelief, "Give it to others. You need to pay a deposit first to get a job, are you kidding me? "
"Aren't you kidding me? This time I'm not borrowing money from you to pay off gambling debts. It's really because Zhou Qiang, the kid, needs it for work. "Wang Haiyan said.
"It's too unreliable. Ask Zhou Qiang to change his job. ” I'll pay off all the money I owe you. "Wang Haiyan said.
The more Xia Qing listened, the more unreliable it became. Several fraud cases that she had seen on the news came to mind, and she said seriously.
“Companies like this that make people pay money first before being admitted to work are most likely a scam company.
You are coveting the good treatment they offer, and what they want is your payment. You must not be fooled..."
After hearing what Xia Qing said, Wang Haiyan suddenly became anxious and kept begging Xia Qing to lend her money.
"Fifty thousand, just fifty thousand is enough. You are so rich, this fifty thousand is nothing to you. When Zhou Qiang gets his salary, he can pay it off soon, so you can help us Get busy with this!”
Xia Qing felt her head hurt when she heard the other party begging again and again. Fifty thousand yuan was indeed nothing to her, but the money in her hand didn't come from strong winds.
It sounds like a scam to the company. If the 50,000 yuan is lent out, it will never be returned. How can one lend the money out?
"I told you it was a fraudulent company, why didn't you listen?" Xia Qing said angrily.
She has a gentle temperament and rarely gets angry with others. She is really upset and irritated by Wang Haiyan.
“It’s really not a scam company. Zhou Qiang said that he had already asked someone about it and went to the company to see it with his own eyes.
That company hired a lot of people, at least a hundred employees. If it was a fraudulent company, how could it hire so many people? "Wang Haiyan said. "Huh? Xia Qing was a little surprised when she heard this. She thought for a moment and said, "Zhou Qiang really went to that company to see it with his own eyes?" "
"Hmm. Wang Haiyan nodded, "I was a little worried at first, but after hearing what he said, I felt completely relieved." "
"Huh..." Xia Qing took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled. Her full chest rose and fell a few times, and she said, "Okay! I'll pay you later. "
"Thank you. Wang Haiyan said gratefully, "I will pay you back as soon as Zhou Qiang gets paid." ”
"Yeah." Xia Qing responded softly.
Actually, what she was thinking was that if her nephew really didn't have high aspirations and found a serious job, he wouldn't have to pay back the money.
The two ended the call, and Wang Haiyan, who was standing in front of Xia Qing's house, had an expression of ecstasy on her face. She had already begun to imagine a bright future.
"Didi Ling Ling..."
The mobile phone in her pocket rang. Wang Haiyan, who was in ecstasy, quickly took out her mobile phone from her pocket. When she saw that it was Zhou Qiang, she quickly answered the call. Pass.
"Mom, will aunt agree to borrow money?" Zhou Qiang asked anxiously, as he just walked out of an Internet cafe.
“She agreed and said she would send the money over later.” Wang Haiyan said with a smile.
“That’s great.” Zhou Qiang, who had an empty pocket, was immediately elated when he heard the good news.
The mother and son were happy for a while, then hung up the phone. With a ding-dong sound, Wang Haiyan saw a message appear at the top of the phone screen, which was a balance change message from the bank.
"Son, the 50,000 yuan has arrived. I will transfer it to you. You quickly call the company."
Zhou Qiang had just bought a pack of cigarettes at a roadside convenience store when he received the money from Wang Haiyan. He immediately transferred it to the company and then called the company's leaders.
"Brother Niu, I have transferred the deposit to you. Can I go to work tomorrow?"
…………
On the deck of the ship, Zhou Tongtong looked at I went to Xia Qing and did a hands-on operation. She walked over to the machine and asked curiously, "Mom, what are you doing?"
Xia Qing just transferred the money out and heard her daughter's voice beside her. He touched his daughter's head and said with a smile.
"Nothing to do. The ship is about to set sail. Don't run around to avoid falling."
Zhou Tongtong pouted, "Mom, I didn't run around..."
Mother While the two women were chatting, the announcement on the ship rang.
"Dear passengers, the ship is about to set sail, please..."
The passengers on the ship heard the broadcast, and some passengers in the cabin all walked out.
Suddenly, many people appeared on the deck, and the passengers who got on the deck first occupied good seats.
"Woooooooooo..."
A sound of engines sounded, and the ship docked on the shore began to leave the dock.
The sea breeze blew against our faces, making the clothes of the passengers on the deck rustle.
“It’s such a strong wind!” Zhou Tongtong raised her little hand and held down her sun hat.
"It's windy outside, let's go back to the cabin!" Xia Qing said with a smile.
Zhou Tongtong shook her head. Although she could see the outside scenery in the cabin, the view was far less broad than on the deck.
Xia Qing saw that her daughter was unwilling to return to the cabin, so she stopped going back to the cabin and stood on the deck to accompany her daughter.
As the ship moves away from the dock, the buildings on the shore gradually shrink.
When the passengers on the ship couldn't see the buildings on the shore, they looked around and saw endless sea water all around.
The passengers who saw this scene all thought of something in their hearts.
"The sea! You are all water."
Xia Qing retracted her gaze to the distance and said to her very excited daughter beside her, "Tongtong, let me take some pictures for you. Photo."
"Yeah." Zhou Tongtong nodded, took off his sunglasses and made a funny pose.
However, Zhou Tongtong did not see Xia Qing taking photos while she was posing.
"Tongtong, put on your sunglasses quickly." Xia Qing said quickly.
At this time, Zhou Tongtong’s round eyes glowed with pale golden light, and his body exuded weak spiritual energy fluctuations.
Now she was a little excited, and the spiritual energy in her body appeared involuntarily.
"Eh?"
Zhou Tongtong was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a while. It wasn't until Xia Qing raised her finger and pointed at her eyes that she understood and immediately put on her sunglasses.
With the sunglasses covering her face, the surrounding passengers could not see the abnormality in Zhou Tongtong's eyes.
"You kid, you are just sitting on a ship, how excited are you..." Xia Qing said.
“This is my first time to go to sea on a ship!” Zhou Tongtong raised her little hand and scratched her rosy little face.
"Have you calmed down now?" Xia Qing waited for a while and asked her daughter.
"Yes." Zhou Tongtong felt that she had calmed down and nodded.
Then, to prove that she had indeed calmed down, she took off her sunglasses and asked Xia Qing to see if her eyes were no longer shining.
It did return to normal. Next, Xia Qing began to take pictures of her daughter.
"Click, click, click..."
The phone rang with the sound of taking pictures, and Xia Qing recorded her daughter's cute appearance one by one.
In the wheelhouse of the ship, the captain looked toward the deck in confusion.
"Old Qi, what's wrong?" A staff member noticed the captain looking towards the deck in the distance and asked curiously.
"Someone on the deck just mobilized psychic energy..." the captain said.
"Someone mobilized psychic energy? Didn't he do anything bad?" the staff member said with a serious face.
There are many passengers on the deck of the ship. If some practitioners do bad things, it will have very bad consequences.
The captain saw the serious expressions of the staff, and then said in a relaxed tone.
"Don't be nervous, the psychic energy fluctuations emitted by the other party are not even at the first stage, and are not much different from ordinary people."
After hearing this, the staff breathed a sigh of relief, "It turns out it's just a "Awakened one!"
"Even if the other party is a practitioner, if he causes trouble, am I still here?" A deep voice suddenly came from beside him.
The captain and staff turned their heads and saw a sailor in his thirties with a confident smile on his face.
