In the evening, everyone in the dock villa was sitting around the restaurant. The steaming hot pot was boiling. On the table were sliced beef, mutton, yellow throat, tripe, various seafood, tofu, vermicelli and vegetables. Yang Xueting was holding it. A large bowl of prepared snacks was being shared among everyone. Yuan Bing carried a beer bucket and put it directly on the faucet. This was the rhythm of planning a big fight. Tian Yong has always been nicknamed "Big Animal", and the superficial wounds on his body were nothing to him. After being bandaged and treated with medicine at the hospital, he ignored the doctor's advice and sneaked away. At this moment, he was carrying two He was holding a bottle of high-quality liquor and shouting with a smile, "The peacock flies southeast, with eight cups hanging on one wing."
Ling Hao took out a stack of envelopes and threw one to each person: "Take them all, we are giving out bonuses. The money earned this time, plus the money from selling pearls, each person will be divided into 2 million US dollars and 1 million euros. I will give it to everyone." It’s been converted into Chinese currency for you, a little over 20 million per person. In the envelope is a bank card, the password is your birthday, don’t forget to change the password.”
Ling Hao added meat to the pot and spoke nonchalantly, as if he was not talking about a huge sum of 20 million, but a red envelope of 2,000 yuan.
Everyone was stunned. Although they knew they had made a big profit this time, they did not expect it to be so much. Yuan Bing said in a dry voice: "This...is this a bit too much? After all, we are all part-time workers, so you don't need to share it equally with us, right?"
Ling Hao rolled his eyes at him and said: "You probably have your conscience eaten by a dog, right? When did I treat you as part-time workers? We are brothers who live and die together. At critical moments, we are comrades who entrust each other's back. I used to I said, as long as I, Ling Hao, can have meat to eat, I will never let you drink soup. Uncle Liang also has a portion left. As the boss, I also took the biggest portion, the 'Mermaid Tears' 'I'll keep it for now. If Nautilus Diving Company encounters any difficulties in the future, we can have a chance to make a comeback. Didn't you kid see my 'Aston Martin' a long time ago? Are you greedy? You can buy one if you like it. And Tian Yong, haven’t you been saving money to buy a house so you can propose to someone? This time, as long as you don’t buy a luxury villa, you should be able to pay the full price. . And Lao Jiang and Lao Zuo, they are both grown up now. It’s time to buy some property for themselves. People have to make plans for the future, right?”
Shi Si felt a little uncomfortable: "Brother, what are you talking about? It sounds like you are going to pay severance pay. Don't you want to retire and quit this job at a young age?" Let me declare first, no matter what you want to do, I will follow you, don’t try to send me away.”
Ling Hao looked at the anxious expressions of everyone with a confused face, and laughed: "You are all thinking too much, right? Who said we are going to break up? I just think that work is work and life is life. We are all the same age. As we get older every year, why should we still be in the water when we are 50 years old? The work we do is high-risk, and the income should be proportional to the risks we take. Only by enjoying life can you be worthy of yourself."
Ling Hao was telling the truth. There were some thoughts that he didn't express directly. This time the whole team came face to face with the God of Death, which really frightened him. For the first time, he realized how dangerous his brothers were following him. I have always been indebted to my responsibilities for work. It is too selfish to let others play with me for a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan. I have goals that I must accomplish, but others don't. Although we all share the same goals, after all, we work to support our families. So he decided to make Nautilus Diving Company an industry owned by everyone in the team, and he would work hard to make money in the future so that everyone could live a good life.
Hearing what Ling Hao said, everyone laughed. After living in harmony for such a long time, everyone regarded Nautilus Company as their own home. They were comfortable working and the boss regarded themselves as brothers. Where can I find such a job? Although the money is indeed a little less, everyone is a famous "single dog", so it's better to be happy. This time I have money, and it’s the kind that can solve all the major economic problems in my life in one step. So what else is there to talk about in the future, and what is there to worry about?
"To make a fortune, cheers!" Everyone began to let themselves go completely. After drinking this big drink, it can be said that the sky is dark, the earth is dark, the heaven and the earth are shaking, and the ghosts and gods are weeping. After drinking until the next morning, two beer barrels were actually empty, liquor bottles were thrown on the floor, everyone was cut into pieces at the dining table, and the mess on the ground was terrible.
At this moment, the door of the villa was pushed open, and a tall figure pulling a suitcase walked in. The crisp sound of high-heeled shoes broke the morning tranquility.
"Oh my god, tomorrow is the end of the world? Is this the rhythm of the last carnival?" came a female voice like the tinkling sound of a gurgling stream. Only Ling Hao, Tian Yong and Yang Xueting, who had received special training for a long time, still retained a trace of sobriety and vigilance. They opened their eyes and took a look. Then, except for Ling Hao, the remaining two closed their eyes firmly. Only Ling Hao immediately became excited and half sober from the wine.
"Zhu Xin? Why are you here?" Ling Hao jumped up from the floor like a carp.
"Why, don't you welcome me when I come?" Cheng Zhuxin raised her chin and looked at Ling Hao arrogantly like a little princess.
"How come? You came without saying hello in advance so that I could pick you up at the airport."
"I planned to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect it to scare me. What are you doing? Drinking so much wine." Cheng Zhuxin put down the suitcase and rolled up his sleeves to pack it.
"Don't, don't, don't, they will clean up after a while. How can I let you do this as soon as you get off the plane? I took on a big job a few days ago and made a lot of money. I gave everyone bonuses last night, so I had a party. One night. Let's go to my room to talk and save some face for these guys." Ling Hao smiled "hehe", picked up Cheng Zhuxin's suitcase, took her hand and went upstairs.
In the room, Cheng Zhuxin took off her high heels and sat on the edge of the bed with her hands on the bed. She looked at the furnishings in Ling Hao's room. In addition to several submarine models on the desk, there were long bookshelves nailed to the wall. , it is full of books, not just books used for show. Every book has traces of careful study and flipping, and some even have bookmarks on them. Then there are boxing gloves hanging on the wall and a steel pipe used for pull-ups nailed under the beam at the door. In addition to books, there are many trophies and certificates on the bookshelf, many of which are issued by the military academy. There is even a second-class military medal.
There was a faint masculine smell in the room, which made Cheng Zhuxin blush and felt so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say.
"Why did you come to Hong Kong City? Is there another case?" Ling Hao came over.
"Yeah! Smells so strongly." Cheng Zhuxin slapped her nose in front of her nose and frowned.
"Oh, wait a minute, I'm going to take a shower." Ling Hao hurriedly dodged into the bathroom, rushed into the bathroom and started taking a shower, flushing and brushing his teeth at the same time. He didn't know why he was so anxious.
Cheng Zhuxin smiled, took off her short windbreaker and hung it on the hanger. A white V-neck tight thin sweater not only highlighted her fair and straight neck, but also vividly outlined her devilish figure.
After a frantic scrubbing, the bathroom was filled with hot and humid water vapor and the fragrance of shower gel. Ling Hao took a few breaths and smelled his hands, and then sniffed his body again. Then he breathed a long sigh of relief and was about to walk out of the bathroom. He was immediately petrified on the spot. Oops, I just rushed into the bathroom in a hurry and didn't even get a bath towel or a change of clothes. What should I do? Do you want Zhuxin to give you bath towels? This scene is so cliche, but it's also very ambiguous. Ling Hao couldn't help but feel a little angry just thinking about it. You can't wear those dirty clothes that smell of alcohol anymore, right? Isn’t it a waste of time to take a shower?
"Zhu Xin."
"Um?"
"I was a little anxious when I came in just now. I forgot to bring my bath towel and change of clothes."
"……Then what?"
"Can you pass it to me? The bath towel is in the first cabinet on the left, and the clothes are in the cabinet on the right."
"Bah! You don't want me to help you get your underwear, do you? Put on a bath towel and find it yourself." Cheng Zhuxin laughed and cursed, took out the bath towel and handed it in through the crack of the door.
Ling Hao dried his body, wrapped the towel around his waist, and walked out of the bathroom with a smile. As expected of a man who came out of the special forces, although Ling Hao is not burly, his muscle lines are very strong and well-proportioned, full of strength. Although his skin is very smooth, he has a few scars on his body, some of which are obvious at a glance. Gunshot wound.
Cheng Zhuxin was stunned, reached out and touched his scar and asked, "Is this from when you were a special forces soldier?"
"Most of them are, but there are also masterpieces of jellyfish and rays. The scars are the testimony of a man's courage and the medal of a man." Ling Hao said quite proudly, and at the same time opened the cabinet to look for clothes, shirts, pants, jackets, etc. He took out a pile of shorts and socks and held them in his hands. As he turned around, a sock fell off and landed right in front of Cheng Zhuxin.
The latter subconsciously bent down to pick it up. The sweater with the big V-neck instantly revealed a dazzling whiteness in front of Ling Hao. It was so amazing, so... stimulating to the senses. Ling Hao felt that his mind went blank for an instant. , his face turned red.
As if sensing Ling Hao's gaze, Cheng Zhuxin, who had just picked up the socks, subconsciously raised his head and immediately realized something.
A few seconds later, a loud slap echoed in the room, with lingering reverberations.
Ling Hao had already put on his clothes, rubbed his face and said aggrievedly: "Is this a normal reaction? If not, it would be abnormal, don't you think?"
"Who told you to look at something you shouldn't?" Cheng Zhuxin's face was still as red as an apple.
"Okay, let's get down to business. Isn't it because of work that you came back this time?" Ling Hao ended the awkward topic.
Cheng Zhuxin's eyes flashed, and he said a little shyly: "The 'Angel Shark' smuggling case has been successfully solved, and all his gang members have been arrested, so we can take a long vacation. Anyway, I don't have anywhere to go. My parents are abroad. I'm traveling and I'm alone, so I came over to see you. There are many people here, it's lively, and it's more interesting." She went round and round, and to put it bluntly, she came to see Ling Hao.
Why couldn't the latter hear it? He felt sweet in his heart, slapped his thigh and said: "I have a gift for you, just wait a moment." After saying that, Ling Hao opened the wardrobe and took out a plate from the hidden safe inside. A jewelry box the size of a jewelry box was handed to Cheng Zhuxin with both hands.
Cheng Zhuxin panicked. Her father was an industrialist and her mother was a piano master. As a girl from a celebrity family, how could she not know about a luxury brand like "Lingbaoxuan"? Nothing sold there was worth less than 20,000 yuan. Judging from the size of the box, it should be a necklace. Such a large piece of jewelry could not be obtained without one or two hundred thousand Chinese coins. Ling Hao gave her such a gift. An expensive gift is far beyond the limit of friends. Could it be...
"Open it and take a look." Ling Hao looked at her expectantly.
Cheng Zhuxin gently opened the lid of the box and immediately covered his mouth with his hand in surprise. This is a set of jewelry necklaces to match an evening dress. The thin white gold chain is studded with pendants inlaid with light sapphires. A black pearl pendant the size of a fingernail exudes a colorful halo. The pendant is also matched with 9 40 Diamonds above 10 points appear elegant and solemn, grand but not ostentatious. At first glance, you can tell that they are customized by a jewelry designer, and the price will probably be ridiculously expensive.
"Oh my god, this necklace is too expensive. I can't accept such an expensive gift from you. How much will it cost?" Cheng Zhuxin refused.
"Fortunately, I personally collected these pearls from the seabed nearly 300 meters deep, and designed and processed them at Lingbaoxuan. The boss, Mr. Chen, is also a friend of Uncle Liang. I mainly think that it is a gift for you. Pearls collected by one's own hands are more meaningful. I have not considered the price. No matter what kind of jewelry you wear, it can't cover up your style." While Cheng Zhuxin was so sweet from the sweet words of love, Ling Hao took out the necklace and gave it to her. She wore it around her neck.
"Zhu Xin, will you be my girlfriend?" Ling Hao was very close, staring into each other's eyes affectionately. The latter's cheeks turned red and he nodded slightly. Ling Hao's face was getting closer and closer to Zhu Xin, and both sides could clearly smell each other's breathing and hear each other's heartbeats. Zhu Xin raised her head slightly and closed her eyes, while Ling Hao reached out and gently hugged the other person's waist. Just when the two hot lips were about to touch, a phone rang suddenly. When they got up, they were startled, their enthusiasm was extinguished by a ladle of cold water in their pocket, and the perfect atmosphere was shattered to pieces.
