According to people's usual understanding of the Ilian tourist season, it is now the last period of the tourist season. In two months, this year's tourist season will be completely over, ushering in this year's winter break. Some tourist products on the roadside have begun to take the initiative to reduce prices, and the service fee standards of some service industries are also lowering. Even hotel room rates in Alexandria have dropped by 10%. These are the last two months of the year when they can make money, so these businesses are beginning to consider selling off the inventory that has squeezed working capital as much as possible to cope with the big outbreak in the first month of the next year's tourist season.
However, some people choose to travel around in the relatively off-season, which can save a lot of money. At the same time, they do not need to face the huge crowds of tourists, and can treat travel as a real tourist in a relaxed and leisurely way.
In the early morning, a cruise ship slowly docked. After the gangway was lowered, the tourists, who had had a good night's sleep, still dragged their suitcases with a somewhat inexplicable expression on their faces. They numbly followed the strangers in front of them from the gangway and got off the ship. Maybe they themselves don't know whether they are going to disembark at this place, their brains are buzzing before they wake up, and all their actions are completely imitated and directed.
Among the crowd, a young girl protected her belly and carefully got off the boat.
"The air is really fresh and unique. The only pity is that we booked the boat tickets a little late. If only we could have participated in the first food festival held here a week earlier. I heard that eating at the food festival No money is required, and if you are particularly good at eating, you can participate in their various competitions. Not only will you get money, but you will also get various benefits!" The boy carefully protected the girl with his body and did not let others get close to them.
Sometimes his movements are too large and disturb the people around him, but those who are disturbed always smile back at them. This is a young couple. People are always more tolerant of beautiful things than Facing the ugly things is so much better.
The girl held her swollen belly and walked off the roadside plank, stepping on the soft sand and blowing the sea breeze, and she suddenly felt much better. She has been living a very depressed life for more than half a year. Even if people can tolerate some primitive actions, being pregnant out of wedlock is a terrible forbidden area. You can have a decadent private life, and you can be visited by men from the entire city, and people won't criticize you except for calling you a slut or two.
Especially after the rise of the feminist movement, the moment the first words of equal rights were shouted out from the mouths of feminist fighters in the imperial capital, the world quietly changed. Especially among young people, they have become much more open. In the past, you could always see young boys hanging behind girls, but now you often just need to look at each other to spend a happy night - maybe sometimes it is not so happy, and some people always have inherent regrets.
But getting pregnant out of wedlock is absolutely forbidden! This will be morally condemned and despised by people. This is a fun joke. A woman has to bear the mistakes that two people make together. Maybe this is growth, this is equality, this is progress!
Alyssa has been suffering from strange looks and strange rumors. She did not want to give birth to this child, but by the time she found out, it was too late. She had to face risky surgery to remove this little life, or give birth to him. Come down. When Alyssa felt for the first time that the life pregnant in her belly was breathing and beating with her, she made a decision in her heart that was difficult for other girls to make.
She wanted to give birth to this child. She refused her mother's request and even broke off the relationship to give birth to this child of her own. Yes, this is her child, it belongs to no one but her!
The boy next to her was a subordinate in her father's workplace. He was temporarily asked to play Alyssa's husband, so that he could block those malicious mouths and tongues. I don’t know if he felt Alyssa’s special determination and was infected by her optimism and strength. This young man named Dave gradually developed a good impression of Alyssa and even fell in love with her. He was pursuing Alyssa, but Alyssa Lisa has never decided whether to accept this man or not.
This time I heard that Ilian held a food festival, and her father asked Dave to accompany Alyssa to Ilian for a tour, and by the way, it was a way to bring the two of them together.
"It's quite windy here, shall we go to the hotel first?" Dave stood on the pallet and stretched out his hand, trying to pull Alyssa, but Alyssa did not reach out. It seemed that Dave had adapted to this embarrassment. He smiled nonchalantly and carried his suitcase behind Alyssa. The two of them checked into a room respectively, rested for a while, and then started playing.
Alyssa's father, Mr. Bain, is now the director of the state transportation bureau, in charge of the regional transportation bureaus across the state. No one expected that an inconspicuous department would soon possess great power and wealth. Especially after the new traffic law was submitted to the Imperial Parliament, the Transportation Bureau suddenly became a hot topic. As there are more and more vehicles on the road, it means that more and more people and what they do are subject to the management and supervision of the Transportation Bureau. There is too much to say here.
So Mr. Bain's house became lively again, which was also the reason why Mrs. Bain did not explode in the end. Vanity resurrected her with full blood and made her forget something.
The two walked along the busiest place next to the beach, bought some small things, and ate some delicacies unique to the coastal area. When they stopped for a while, Dave suddenly pointed at the buildings on the sea cliff and exclaimed. , "Look at that, is that a scenic spot? Or is it a private residence?"
Du Lin's manor on the cliff is indeed a bit bluffing. After all, 350,000 yuan is not in vain. It must have some value and meaning.
Alyssa looked in the direction Dave pointed, her eyes flickering. Under the sun, it was like a place that only existed in a fairy tale. The white exterior walls and glass mirrors that reflect sunlight make the entire building shine with golden light.
"How about we go over there and take a look?" Dave saw the yearning in Alyssa's eyes and came up with an idea.
Alyssa hesitated for a moment and then shook her head, "That's obviously someone else's home, and it's all in vain if you go there."
Dave had no choice but to give up and come to Ilian, only then did he realize how backward and poor Kansas and Ordo were. It's like another world here. All the latest cars are driving on the road, and luxury cars can be seen everywhere. Pedestrians on the road were also very well-dressed. He wondered if all the people living here were rich, or that rich people were willing to live here.
"Let's go back, it's time to have lunch." Alyssa retracted her gaze and started walking back, followed by Dave.
At this time, Dulin was sitting with Scott and talking about the shopping mall. The total investment would not be less than 8 million, and more funds might need to be invested at any time later. This was a large amount of money, and Scott believed that it was impossible for Dulin to come up with it unless he stopped everything he was doing and took out all the funds, but that was obviously impossible. He and Huan had been fighting until now, and neither of them could retreat and had no choice but to move on.
However, what caught Scott off guard was that Dulin actually nodded, "Give me two months. The funds will arrive in two months. We can sign another agreement. If I can't do it, I will get it." Pay one million as liquidated damages to the city hall, this clause can be written in the agreement.”
Scott was stunned for a moment and looked at Dulin very doubtfully, as if he was asking where you got so much money. He didn't say this, but just nodded, "I know, I will talk to the mayor about this, but I can't decide exactly what to do!"
Dulin stood up and saw Scott off. He stood outside the manor for a long time before returning to the house. The next step was to see if Mr. Luke could take the initiative.
As long as Luke becomes greedy, Dulin will take the initiative to create all opportunities for him. Even if he doesn't become greedy, Dulin will create them for him. Once you can get out of here, all the layouts during this period can be closed.
Just after dinner at noon, a guest that Dulin didn't expect rang the doorbell of the manor. It was the Guart man who lost his wife's life in the hands of old Fulers. Dulin let him in, and he said silently Standing in front of Du Lin, it took a long time to say, "I want to do something for you!"
Du Lin shook his head without even thinking about it. He saw the man wanting to argue and raised his hand to stop him, "It's not that I don't trust you, nor that I don't believe in what you can do. It's just that you really don't. It has nothing to do with loyalty and ability, because you have a child! I can’t let your family lose its last support. What will happen to your child if something happens to you?”
When Du Lin said these words, the man was obviously confused, and there was a hint of embarrassment on his face, because he had never considered his own problems or those of his children. After that incident, he locked himself in his room and thought about it for two full days. He didn't eat or drink, and he was almost exhausted. It was then that he figured it out.
If the world cannot be fair to you and is full of malice towards you, then use your fists to fight back hard!
Being a kind and honest person will not make people like you much, but being a bad person will definitely make people afraid of you, and he will know what choice he should make.
