Chapter 3
"Brother Xu, can't you really stay with me for a few more days? I still feel very sad." Yang Mingzhou was stopped by Ming Xu at the door of the B&B, and looked at Ming Xu with a pitiful look.
"If you don't leave, I'll call security."
The receptionist saw Ming Xu coming and sat up straight, saying, "Hello, Boss."
Two pairs of eyes watched Mingxu leave and exchanged glances: "The boss is still so unkind."
One of the newcomers looked outside the door, then at the direction Mingxu left, and asked uncertainly, "Sister Yuan, is the boss really not that?"
Liu Yuan was startled when he heard this. He turned around to make sure no one was around before he dared to speak softly, "Wei Yiyi, what are you talking about? Focus on your work and don't pry into your boss's private life."
"You don't have to react so strongly, especially since the boss didn't hear it." Wei Yi curled her lips, moved the chair aside, and muttered a few words softly.
Seeing that she didn't take his words to heart, Liu Yuan reminded her: "The boss doesn't like people talking behind his back. You should be more careful in the future. There are too many people in the hall and they talk a lot."
Yan Qing heard the conversation between the two as soon as she got out of the elevator. She went straight to the front desk. With the arrival of the customer, the two of them were no longer awkward.
"Sorry, we only have breakfast and dinner here."
Since there was no lunch, Yan Qing had to go out to find food. Unless Zhou Mingshu was there, Yan Qing would never be willing to order takeout or open a blind box.
Seeing Yan Qing walking away, Wei Yi chuckled, "You live in such an expensive room, but you can't even afford to order takeout, and you still want to get it for free."
Liu Yuan was about to speak when he saw Ming Xu looking at him with a dark face. He must have seen everything that happened just now. Liu Yuan tilted his head to signal Wei Yiyi who was still muttering.
But the latter was immersed in his own world and was not aware of the changes around him.
bite.
Wei Yi glanced at her phone and smiled happily: "My boss asked me to go find him."
office.
Ming Xu was staring at his computer when he heard a knock on the door. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the man outside the door come in uninvited, with a playful smile on his face: "Boss, are you looking for me?"
Looking at Ming Xu with a gloomy face in front of him, Wei Yi strode to the desk and tidied his hair.
Feeling a shadow approaching, Mingxu picked up a document beside him, raised his eyes, and stared at the person who came: "What is the first article of the employee code of conduct?"
"Huh?" Wei Yi was stunned. What was the boss doing? She blinked, and seeing Ming Xu staring at her without saying anything, she felt a little scared and stumbled over her words. "Rule number one of the employee code is, yes, yes, you are not allowed to discuss customers."
After saying that, Wei Yi let out a long sigh.
"You're fired."
The sudden words made Wei Yi freeze in place. He looked at Ming Xu in disbelief and demanded, "Boss! What did I do wrong? Are you going to fire me?"
Mingxu turned away with disgust, no longer looking at her, and motioned for her to go out.
"Is it Liu Yuan? She complained to you?" Wei Yi realized what was happening and quickly accused her other colleagues, "It must be her. She was the one who talked about the customer behind his back. I was just responding to her comments. It has nothing to do with me, boss."
"There are surveillance cameras in the hall." Ming Xu didn't want to waste time talking and called security to ask them to come up and chase the people away.
Passing through the hall, Liu Yuan was also confused. In just a short while, his colleague was fired?
She looked at Wei Yiyi, who was surrounded by security guards, and wanted to go up to her and say goodbye, but Wei Yiyi angrily scolded her: "It's all your fault. You complained to the boss. Just wait, you will be fired soon."
The security guard on the side did not give her a chance to speak and half-forced her to leave.
Yan Qing came out of the B&B and walked around but couldn't find a restaurant she wanted to eat at. She thought for a moment and then opened someone's chat box.
[Yan Qing]: Recommend a restaurant where we can have lunch.
[Zhou Mingshu]:?
Afterwards, he saw a bunch of store names sent by the other side. Yan Qing didn't want to choose one, but the other side seemed to have telepathy and sent another one, along with a bunch of pictures.
Yan Qing sat down in the restaurant and sent a message to Zhou Mingshu, who replied immediately.
[Zhou Mingshu]: Wow, the plane is delayed, I’m so miserable.
[Zhou Mingshu]: Can you bring some grilled fish to the airport? Xiaobao wants to eat it.
[Zhou Mingshu]: Are you there? Are you there? Are you there?
Half an hour later, Yan Qing put down the tableware and prepared to return to the hotel.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, there were no other tourists in the lobby of the B&B except for a few staff members. She glanced at the front desk and saw that the girl who had been indifferent to her when she came out was gone. Yan Qing didn't think much about it and quickly got into the elevator. Readers had urged her to update more than ten thousand times last night, and she promised them to update more today.
Three hours later, the new chapter was published and immediately received its first comment.
Yan Qing took a look and replied: I do what I say, it’s fun to watch.
[Arrogant-When will the gang leader find out he is single?] has become active again.
After Mingxu finished his work, he saw someone in the group looking for him. When he clicked on it, as expected, he saw a bunch of nonsense again.
[Drink porridge first when something happens]: @爱吃的煤球, what are you doing? Why don’t you reply to my message?
He posted several messages in a row, and the following were screenshots of Yan Qingxin's novel. He seemed to have seen people discussing this novel in the group a few days ago. Looking at the bunch of "ahhh" comments afterwards, Ming Xu somehow downloaded the novel software that everyone was talking about.
"After Parting Ways with the Person I Like" - Water is pure.
Ming Xu clicked in and took a few glances, then lost interest. Just as he was about to exit, he saw a discussion in the comment section about a game. He looked over and felt familiar, so he read every comment carefully.
A gaming friend who is like a principal.
At the end, he saw these words in the author's long reply.
He muttered, "Dean of Studies? Someone said that to me before, but I think she's more like her. She doesn't talk, her technique is poor, and there are many things she can't learn even after being taught for a long time. After she got familiar with them, I was the one who did all the activities."
Thinking of this, Ming Xu chuckled: "It turns out that such a long time has passed."
Yan Qing swiped through the comments on her phone. After writing novels for so many years, she always had a habit of reading every comment, whether it was praising her or scolding her. Many of her black fans had disappeared now, and she missed them a lot.
At the end, a small account without an avatar caught her attention. Yan Qing clicked on this person's homepage, but it was empty.
Just leave a message in the review section: Thank you to the author, it also reminds me of the good old days.
Staring at the words on the screen, Ming Xu felt a little regretful. Did he just say what was in his heart like that?
He thought for a moment and decided to give up since no one knew him anyway.
The guild group was still bustling with activity, and everyone was talking to each other.
[Coal Balls I Love to Eat]: @Drink porridge first when something happens, and I’ll treat you to dinner in the evening.
After saying that, the gang group exploded.
In the evening, the scorching heat was swallowed up by the sea water. Yan Qing planned to go out for a walk on the beach. As soon as he arrived at the lobby, he saw someone at the front desk raising his arm and waving in his direction.
Yan Qing took a look and walked straight to the door. Before she reached the door, she was stopped by someone. Looking closely, it was the person from before. She didn't say anything. The other person looked her up and down, his eyes suddenly a little flustered. "Sorry, I recognized the wrong person." After saying that, he hurried away.
Zhou Mingshu saw the message from Yan Qing and sent three 60-second voice messages in a row. Looking at the screen full of hahaha in the voice-to-text, Yan Qing held her forehead with her hand. She was about to reply when the phone rang from the other end. As soon as the call was connected, she heard Zhou Mingshu's laughter again.
"Watch out for wrinkles."
The cold voice made the laughter on the other end of the phone stop abruptly, and Yan Qing was very satisfied.
Zhou Mingshu pretended to be annoyed: "I kind of miss your humanity when you were playing games."
The two of them didn't say much before Zhou Mingshu was about to go to bed. Yan Qing was very humane and asked her a few words of concern: "Going to bed so early? Do you have something important to do tomorrow?"
"Fan Zhuoyi will arrive in Yuancheng tomorrow."
Yan Qing listened to Zhou Mingshu's slightly shy voice and said nothing more. Since Zhou Mingshu wanted to be brave for once, she would put aside her prejudice and firmly support her.
It was not completely dark yet and there were many people at the beach. Yan Qing walked towards the sparsely populated coastline. Gradually, there were fewer sounds in her ears. She stood in the sea, quietly looking at the sea level in the distance. There were several returning speedboats above, and the dazzling boat lights made her unable to open her eyes.
A barbecue had been set up not far behind him, and the air was filled with smoke. Yan Qing smelled the aroma and planned to leave. When he was about to turn around, he saw the man he met in the hall again. This time, there was a man standing next to him.
The man who had just mistaken someone else also saw him, walked up to Yan Qing in a familiar manner, and asked her if she wanted to go for barbecue together.
Yan Qing glanced at the men and women over there, shook her head, and was about to leave when she caught a glimpse of the man who had been under the tree just now walking towards her.
A cold voice accompanied by the sea breeze entered her ears: "Just consider it as an apology."
"?" Yan Qing stared at the person who was speaking, somewhat confused.
"The employee who talked about the guests today has been fired."
It turned out that he had heard correctly. It was completely dark, and the lights of the barbecue stall were some distance away. The flickering lights were dimly visible on the man's face.
Seeing that the person in front of him remained unmoved, the person who had mistaken him for someone else in the hall tried to ease the atmosphere: "My name is Yang Mingzhou, we have met before. He is the boss of Qingfeng Xulai, Mingxu." Then he started fiddling with his mobile phone.
The man named Ming Xu took out a wallet. Yan Qing looked at the ID card in his hand and nodded.
Seeing a strange girl coming over, the people who were chatting and laughing immediately focused their attention on the three of them.
Yang Mingzhou explained to everyone: "She is a guest at Xu Ge's B&B."
That's a friend.
A girl with twin ponytails came over to Yan Qing and handed her the skewers of meat. Her eyes curved into crescents and she said in a sweet voice, "Is mutton edible?"
Hearing Yan Qing's "hmm", the girl breathed a sigh of relief and led her to sit aside: "You sit here, take whatever you want to eat, or tell me and I'll get it for you. What do you want to drink? How about iced Coke? Oh, by the way, just call me Xiaoni."
"Thank you, Xiaoni. I'll drink..." Yan Qing glanced at the table while speaking, "I'll have some juice."
Everyone took good care of Yan Qing. Whenever something freshly baked was served on the table, someone would always pass it to her.
After eating for a while, a few boys started singing. Yan Qing leaned back in her chair and listened. Xiao Ni, who was next to her just now, grabbed a microphone at some point and glanced at her from time to time.
Yan Qing felt something was wrong and was thinking of finding an excuse to leave when Xiao Ni came trotting up to her with a microphone.
The microphone was dangling before her eyes, and Yan Qing evaded the question: "I can't sing."
"You can't sing? Well, I'll sing then," Xiao Ni said with some regret, then regained her earlier cheerfulness and lowered her voice, "Do you want to leave?"
After getting the affirmation, Xiao Ni called Yang Mingzhou over. Although he was Brother Xu's guest, she didn't want to offend that big iceberg.
Hearing that Yan Qing was leaving, Yang Mingzhou glanced at Ming Xu who was not far away and said, "Then I'll talk to Brother Xu and send you back."
Yan Qing refused repeatedly: "I can go back by myself." It's really not good for a man and a woman to be alone together at night.
Seeing two people not far away looking at him and talking, Yan Qing was about to get up and leave when he saw Ming Xu striding towards him.
Yang Mingzhou pulled the man aside, clasped his hands together, and said something. A moment later, the two of them came over. Yang Mingzhou raised his eyebrows and said, "Just as Brother Xu is going back, you two can go together."
Yan Qing no longer refused, waved to others and turned to leave.
