After a while, I saw that Boss Zhu had bought a lot of steaming buns and was squeezing out of the crowd, his face full of satisfaction.
"It smells good, a bit like home. You two should try it too." Zhu Xuefeng handed the buns over smoothly. Yang Lei looked at the happy boss Zhu, who was a little distracted. Same, he seems to enjoy this kind of market atmosphere, and he doesn't look like a big boss.
Jiang Fangzhou reached out and took it. It was a bit hot. He took a bite very carefully, and his mouth was filled with oil. Looking at the oily bun, he had an idea and swallowed it in one gulp. It seemed to be burned again. He kept stroking his chest to help him breathe, and looked embarrassed. Zhu Xuefeng also smiled.
"You are too impatient, so you have to burn it. Be careful. Miss Yang will try it too, and be careful to burn it."
Yang Lei also smelled the tempting fragrance, be careful. He reached out and picked one up, blew it a few times, and then took a small bite. It was indeed very fragrant.
“Not bad, it tastes great.”
“Have you never tasted it?” Zhu Xuefeng finished three of them in a row, took the tissue handed over by Jiang Fangzhou, and wiped his mouth Oil.
Yang Lei shook her head, "My sister and I just moved here during the holidays. We leave early and come back late. We haven't had breakfast here yet."
"This residential area is in a good location with good scenery. There seem to be a lot of vegetable plots.”
On the way here, Zhu Xuefeng discovered that this residential area is already on the edge of the city, but there are many vegetable plots nearby. No matter where the Chinese go, they have such skills. It won't be lost. The road not far away connects to the sea. You can also see a small pier and many fishing boats in the distance.
"Uncle Jin said that most of these people's ancestors came here to build railways. Later they found that this place was good, so many people settled down. Gradually, more and more people came here, and it became what it is now."< br>
As he spoke, he pointed to a three-story wooden building facing the street not far away.
"Boss, that's the house we rent. Let's go there."
"Sister, are these two the bosses you are talking about?"
One and Yang A woman who looked like Lei Jiujiu was observing Zhu Xuefeng and Jiang Fangzhou with suspicion. She received a call from her sister from the hotel yesterday and got some information. She also knew that her sister was coming back this morning and had taken leave to wait at home. , now looking at the two men in front of him with suspicion.
"Azhen, please don't be rude. These two are my sister's benefactors. If it weren't for Boss Zhu and Brother Jiang, my sister would have been miserable yesterday.
This girl called Yang Zhen Stepping forward to greet the two of them, Yang Lei looked at her sister who still looked suspicious and said angrily
"Where's Uncle Jin, why aren't you here? "
There are several wooden signs hanging outside the small wooden building, including a law firm, a chamber of commerce and even a church. It seems that Mr. Jin really has many jobs. Zhu Xuefeng is a little curious. What kind of person he would be? According to Yang Lei, he should be a very shrewd middle-aged man.
"Uncle Jin has been invited by Chen Xiaoqing in the back street for a while. ”
"Did you say something?"
Yang Zhen looked at Zhu Xuefeng and Jiang Fangzhou on the side and whispered.
“It’s not about the matter about his sister and the white man. If the Chen family wants to sue, they should ask Uncle Jin to question it.”
“Didn’t I say that the Chen family is willing to accept compensation? , why did you think of suing again?" Yang Lei asked doubtfully.
"Chen Xiaohu has returned from retirement. I heard that he quit."
Yang Lei frowned. She studied law. She knew what happened and was not optimistic about it. "This is not a matter of time. Let's call Uncle Jin back first. We agreed last night. Boss Zhu is very tight on time. We still have to go see the house, which is dozens of kilometers away."
Yang Lei coaxed her sister away before apologetically making tea for the two of them.
"Don't mind, boss, my sister is like that. She is always suspicious of strangers, especially young men."
Zhu Xuefeng smiled, "Don't worry, we won't mind, It's a good thing to be appropriately vigilant. It's a good idea to be careful in a foreign country."
After a while, a middle-aged man followed Yang Zhen back to the small wooden building, and Yang Lei hurried forward.
"Uncle Jin, this is Boss Zhu whom I called yesterday. He wanted to rent a villa on the beach, so I brought him to you."
The man nodded, "I understand the basic situation. , you go and pack up, then go upstairs to get my car keys, we will set off in a moment."
Yang Lei briefly introduced herself to Zhu Xuefeng, and hurried upstairs with her sister.
This is a man in his early forties. His body seems to bear too many traces of time. His eyes are deep and sharp. He should be shrewd and wise tempered by many years of experience and multiple professions.
Wearing a neat short-sleeved top and a pair of loose soap pants, his outfit has nothing to do with a lawyer, but every move he makes seems so calm and unhurried.
The man stretched out his hand, "My surname is Jin. I heard from Xiaolei that the two of them are from Xiangjiang and are compatriots."
Zhu Xuefeng also stretched out his hand, and the two shook hands, "Zhu Wentao, Coming from Xiangjiang, I think your accent seems to be from the capital."
Mr. Jin nodded, "I have been here for more than 20 years, and my accent cannot be changed. Your accent is also from the capital, so... "
"Exactly!"
Mr. Jin laughed heartily when he heard this, still holding his hands tightly, and slapped Zhu Xuefeng's arm heavily with his other hand.
"What a coincidence, haha, little brother, we are really destined! Please wait a moment, I will change clothes so that I can help you."
Mr. Jin came out again, already wearing a suit and leather shoes, especially that little bit Her little hair was combed as brightly as the leather shoes under her feet.
It turns out that Mr. Jin was in Qi, and he came here in 1942. The furniture he brought with him was replaced by this small building. Now he is the lawyer and priest of this Chinese residential area, as well as the president of the chamber of commerce. , he is also engaged in financial transactions, speculating in stocks and futures, and occasionally flipping antiques. He is engaged in a variety of industries. According to him, he is involved in anything that can make money.
It can be seen that although this person wears multiple hats, he seems to be able to shuttle between various roles with ease. This requires extraordinary ability and energy, especially for a part-time lawyer. It seems that this person is very shrewd. It is not only reflected in his business acumen, but also in his deep understanding of human nature and keen insight into society. He knows how to deal with people and how to win the trust and respect of others. "You came alone?" Zhu Xuefeng was surprised not to find anyone else in this small building.
"That's right. I broke up with my family and came here by myself. In fact, strictly speaking, I was brought here by my cousin. He was here I studied abroad here and gained a lot of knowledge. I followed him around for several years, and then we separated, and it ended up like this. My wife went to school in another city with her children, but she had to take care of the children's daily life, so she didn't want to follow me. I just left them alone."
Speaking of his wife and children, Mr. Jin couldn't help but sigh, "I haven't seen her for more than half a year, and now I won't come back for the holidays. This wife and children don't want money. Call home and let them go."
Jiang Fangzhou listened silently, and Zhu Xuefeng couldn't answer, a little embarrassed. Fortunately, the sisters came down quickly with the car keys and the group came together. Out of the residential area.
“Boss, my sister and I are taking Uncle Jin’s car, and we are following behind.”
Knowing that Yang Lei should have a detailed talk with her sister, Zhu Xuefeng didn’t care, Mr. Jin’s The car was a double-cab pickup truck with some signs of bumps. It seemed that it usually hauled goods. The two vehicles left the archway and headed north along the seaside road.
It was already past ten o'clock in the morning when we returned to the street where the hotel was located. The group accompanied Yang Lei to the restaurant to apply for resignation, and they continued north.
“Boss, I think Miss Yang Zhen’s attitude towards you is much kinder.”
“It’s probably Yang Lei who made the matter clear.”
Zhu Xuefeng didn’t I didn't care, I just kept staring at the sea in the distance across the road. Now I had left the naval base far behind and was not far from my destination.
Leaving the noisy city, the scenery along the way seems to be getting better and better. You can already see the beautiful bay in the distance, and the ocean to the east of the bald eagle is really beautiful.
On the quiet coastline, there is a picturesque bay hidden, which is like a bright pearl carefully carved by nature. The sun shines through the light clouds, casting variegated light and shadow, adding to this beautiful scenery. The sea area is covered with a dreamy golden glow.
The sea water shows distinct layers of blue, gradually transitioning from the green on the shore to the depth in the distance, like a beautiful watercolor painting.
On the sparkling sea, several dolphins jump out of the water happily from time to time. They flip and spin gracefully, as if performing a silent dance, demonstrating the agility and freedom given by nature. Every jump is accompanied by a burst of crystal waves, adding a bit of vitality and vitality to this quiet bay.
The bay is surrounded by lush mountains and trees, which provide a natural barrier to the sea and fill the air with freshness and fragrance. Occasionally, one or two distant birdsong penetrates the tranquility, intertwined with the playing of dolphins, forming a harmonious song of nature.
"It's so beautiful." Several people had already gotten out of the car, looking at the villas in the distance immersed in the dreamy sunshine, Yang Zhen finally sighed like a little girl.
"This place has left the city and is sparsely populated. Boss, on the way here, there is a densely populated place just more than ten kilometers away. It seems that life here will not be too convenient."
As a typical science and engineering student, Jiang Fangzhou Man, my mind is not on this at all. The boss is going on vacation for a short period of time, so it is not convenient to buy anything.
“These people really know how to choose a place, it’s very beautiful here, isn’t it.”
After seeing the dolphins in the plan, Zhu Xuefeng has already made up his mind, this is it, no matter how high the price is, Take it.
"Boss, are you sure you are here? Transportation and life here seem to be inconvenient."
Jiang Fangzhou is very pragmatic. If the boss takes a vacation here, it seems that he must deal with the servants. The problem is, we still have to leave a car to travel.
A few people did not go directly to see the villa, but followed Zhu Xuefeng along the beach, admiring the scenery of the bay. In this bay, undisturbed by the hustle and bustle of the world, time seemed to slow down and make people forget. No worries, I just want to immerse myself in this tranquility and beauty, and enjoy this rare peace and freedom with the dolphins.
"That's it. It's pretty good, isn't it? Let's go and check out those villas."
Now that the boss has made up his mind, others naturally have no objections. In the bay, there are less than ten villas in the area of nearly ten kilometers. I checked the terrain and villas along the way. Most of the villas are only guarded by servants, and the owners are basically absent. They probably came here to stay for a while on vacation. It seems that if they rent It was still possible. Jiang Fangzhou was relieved, but Zhu Xuefeng had already fallen in love with a villa located on the inside of the bay.
This villa is very close to the sea. It is built on a high ground near the inner bay. There is also a path leading directly to the bay. There is a dedicated pier there with a dhow docked. It can be seen that this owner He must also love the sea.
When we arrived at the villa, coincidentally, there was a transfer information on the notice board in front of the villa. The owner of the villa was not here either, leaving only a strong black cook with two powerful dogs to guard him.
The carefully manicured lawn and the neat outdoor barbecue shed all show that the owner is a very lively person.
The homeowners are a middle-aged couple. After the maid who stayed behind made the call, they arrived at the bay in less than two hours. It was obvious that the intention was very strong, but that was not the case during the communication. .
The owner said that he was more willing to sell and had no intention of short-term rental. The two of them seemed to be troublesome, but there seemed to be something hidden in their eyes. Mr. Jin also found that there was something hidden in their eyes. Something's wrong, remind me quietly.
"Brother Zhu, something is wrong. The price is obviously too low. They seem to be eager to get rid of them. There must be something we don't know. Mr. Ferrifus must have concealed some information. How about we take a look again? Looking at the other ones?”
“Sir, it’s a good idea to choose here. Believe me, you will be satisfied. This is the best location in the entire bay, close to the ridge, and Facing the sea, what’s even better is that not far from the door is the best part of the entire bay.”
It could be seen that Zhu Xuefeng seemed a little interested, and the host continued to introduce it enthusiastically.
“There are gentle sandy beaches and the only natural harbor here. You may not know that the water quality of this harbor is very good, very suitable for swimming and water sports. Also, because of the good water quality of this small bay, there are many Schools of fish like to gather here, and it has become a place that dolphins like to visit."
Ms. Heim also added, "These dolphins are very friendly to humans, so we like to call this small bay. Dolphin Bay. "
"I also like water sports. I see there is a sailboat docked at your dock. Can this sailboat go on a long voyage? "
"The wind and waves here are relatively small. As long as you don't leave this area, there is no problem. It is definitely not possible to sail far. Besides, the Coast Guard outside will not agree to such a small sailboat going out to sea. This is what my son used to practice in the bay. As long as you don't leave this bay, there is no danger. Sir, do you also like sailing?"
"Unfortunately, although I like it, I don't know how to do it."
< br>"It's okay. If you are interested, we can help introduce you. You can find sailing instructors in the small town ahead. As long as you pass the exam and get the certificate, you can change to a formal sailing boat and go to sea."
Zhu Xuefeng couldn't stand the enthusiasm of the landlord. He glanced at Mr. Jin and saw that he was still waiting for Zhu Xuefeng's decision.
"Mr. Ferrivers, thank you for your suggestion. Going out on a boat is indeed a very tempting idea. I think I will consider it when I have time." (End of Chapter)
