When these words came out, all the aunts on the other side looked at me blankly, and their expressions changed instantly.
I said loudly to the auntie boss: "Zhao Lianping, Zhao Suo. The news about your accompanying people on the trip has been reported to the Yandu headquarters. The whole headquarters is laughing at our Fangzhou. Do you know?"
The aunt named Zhao Lianping shuddered and the wallet in her hand suddenly dropped.
At the highest point of the bay island, smoke slowly rises from the dense coconut grove.
Under the crooked coconut trees is a row of no more than four short and dilapidated bungalows.
Behind the bungalow is a dense banana forest, with an open space of only thirty square meters in the middle.
Here is the headquarters of Fangzhou Hydrology Institute.
The former Fangzhou Institute of Hydrology ranked fourth among the nine institutes, three libraries and five hospitals in Fangzhou. All rivers, seas and lakes in the southeast, northwest, Yellow Sea, Bohai Sea, Yangtze River and Yellow River have their own hydrological stations.
To date, only the South China Sea Hydrological Station remains.
This was the result of Shi Lao's hard work and persistence.
Unfortunately, Shi Lao's hard work did not bring about the rebirth of Fangzhou Hydrology Institute, but its destruction.
But then again, the hydrology institute is not much luckier than the laboratory.
You know, before I entered Fangzhou, there was only a rusty iron plate left in the laboratory.
"Hao Xing ran away because he couldn't stand the hardship here. Hao Xing's father has been delivering supplies to the island guards for many years, and Hao Xing has been following us."
"Hao Xing was talkative and aggressive. He was always sued by teachers. He transferred to several schools and finally stopped studying at all."
Zhao Lianping, deputy director of the Institute of Hydrology, handed over fifty yuan, with a dark face full of embarrassment and guilt.
"Children's Home. I'm so sorry. You have seen the conditions here. We have seniors and juniors like us. The dead wages from the headquarters are not enough to make ends meet, let alone support our family."
"Those who had the means left, and those who stayed persisted because of their feelings for Fangzhou. Sometimes, there is really no way."
"Hai Ye called and said, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to get those wages."
"And Xiao He Xin. Without you, Xiao He Xin... I might really have to come here as an escort."
The conditions at the Hydrology Institute are indeed difficult.
There are four rooms, an office, a central control room, and two small rooms of less than 20 square meters, where eight female employees are squeezed.
Little Hao Xing's father, Hao Haiyang, the boss of the Institute of Hydrology, and two other male staff members usually sleep in the central control room and office.
The weather station on the top of the mountain is basically abandoned, and the hydrological monitoring station at sea is close to being scrapped.
Here, there is no air conditioning.
The power supply was cut during renovations in Qinyuewan next door two months ago and has not yet been restored.
Hao Haiyang's attempts to negotiate were ignored many times, and his calls to Ma Zhongchao also came to nothing.
Originally, this public beach belonged to the Institute of Hydrology. Later, the beach was renovated and the locals bought it back at a bargain price.
There is also a reason for Ma Zhongchao.
After it was sold, the beach was outsourced to private individuals, leaving only a small beach for the Hydrographic Institute to observe hydrology.
I have heard Mr. Hai talk about the hardships of the hydrological station more than once. When I actually saw it, I felt that my appraisal center was the Paradise.
This is the headquarters of the hydrological station, and the conditions are pretty good.
The island guards in the South China Sea are really suffering there.
I didn't accept the money from Zhao Lianping. I took a few wads of money from my bag and stuffed it into Zhao Lianping's hand.
These tens of thousands of dollars are naturally the public funds of the appraisal center. I am not generous enough to subsidize the hydrology institute with my own money.
"Leave the electricity problem to me."
"I'm here today to ask you a favor."
"Lend me some clothes."
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Lianping took me into Qinyue Bay from the path.
On the other side of the bay island of the hydrological station headquarters is Qinyue Bay.
Wandao is also owned by Fangzhou. When Tanyue Bay was first established, Zhao Lianping and others relied on their geographical advantages to sell tobacco, wine, barbecue, snacks and cold drinks on the beach next door. Not to mention
Even if you are well-off, you can still have enough food and clothing.
All the money earned from doing business is spent wisely.
After Qinyue Bay was built and positioned for high-end consumption, the management directly blocked the exit there, which also cut off the hydrology institute's financial path.
As a last resort, Zhao Lianping and the others came up with the idea of accompanying them on a tour, which was almost rogue.
Speaking of which, it’s all tears.
From the trail to the end, we took the long ladder into the water and stepped on the waist-deep water to reach the white sand beach of Qinyue Bay.
Separated by an island, it's like the Philippines and Europe are two completely different worlds.
The entire neat artificially transplanted coconut grove is arranged in an orderly manner behind the white sand beach. The orange-red eaves of the resort show its majesty and dignity in the bright sunshine.
The dozen or so skyscrapers are lined up around the resort, creating an imposing atmosphere.
The three-kilometer-long coastline is lined with unique white sand beaches transported from the Madai Sea.
The money for this sand alone is not a small amount of money.
Going to the beach means officially integrating into the wealthy area. The children playing around and collecting shells, and the rich and noble people strolling around did not notice anything unusual about our group.
Wearing Zhao Lianping's red dress and white clothes, putting on the wig I brought, carrying a big-brimmed hat and wearing big sunglasses, I also entered a state of high alert in the next second.
Zhao Lianping and her colleagues from the Institute of Hydrology pretended to take photos under the coconut trees on the shore, while I walked barefoot on the beach.
After a few minutes, I found my location and stopped.
At this time, little Hao Xing suddenly jumped out of the shallow water, holding something in the air with both hands and shouting loudly: "Auntie, auntie. I picked up something. Come and see. I picked up a good thing."
Little Hao Xing's call quickly attracted the attention of people around him. Children who were close to him gathered around him.
Under the coconut trees on the shore, two young men who looked like bodyguards looked at each other. A young man came over immediately and warned little Hao Xing softly. Read the book
"Kid, keep your voice down. There's an uncle sleeping over there."
Both young men had short heads, white shirts, black trousers, and black leather shoes that didn't match the white sand beach at all.
Little Hao Xing nodded obediently and said sorry, raised the object in his hand and looked at the other person eagerly: "Uncle. Do you know what this is?"
The short-haired young man looked at it, shook his head calmly, and looked around with an extremely solemn expression.
