Chapter 82: What to Do When Caught Drinking at Work

Upon hearing these words, an employee chewing on a chicken leg next to them became unhappy.

"Who said that?"

"It wasn't me!"

"I didn't do it!"

Xiao Xun muttered while sneaking a glance at "Moming De Fannao", looking very guilty.

"Humph!"

"Tian Qing Ning" rolled her eyes at the two of them, then turned to An Xia and said, "Don't overthink it. Just do whatever the boss tells you, and you won't go wrong."

"Really?" An Xia asked without much confidence.

"Really, it's more real than 'Xie Zhu Long Xiong's' chest muscles!"

"Tian Qing Ning" smiled sweetly, her eyes curving into crescents.

...

After finishing their meal, everyone cleaned up the restaurant and went about their respective tasks.

An Xia, feeling bored, picked up his guitar and went to the golden beach, finding a spot to sit down.

It was 5:16 PM, and the air was much cooler compared to the day. Many hotel guests were coming out to stroll along the beach or look for restaurants.

An Xia sat under a coconut umbrella on the golden beach, placed his guitar in front of him, and started tuning.

"Do re mi fa so la ti do... do do do!"

"Do si la so fa mi re do... do do do~"

An Xia tested the pitch, strummed a few chords, and the bittersweet memories of love filled his heart, making him hum a tune to the sea:

"Missing you day after day, lonely me hasn't changed..."

As his voice drifted out, people walking on the beach turned to look. This song was incredibly popular, almost everyone knew it.

An Xia's singing was pure emotion without any fancy techniques, fully expressing the melancholy and longing in the song. Some people stopped to listen for a while before leaving, but others stayed, quietly enjoying the music.

After finishing one song, people thought he was done, but An Xia lightly strummed his guitar again and began singing another sorrowful tune:

"The sky is clear because the rain has stopped"

"Because the wind is gently blowing, I start missing you..."

As soon as the song began, the audience felt a sharp pain in their hearts, as if a fine blade was scraping them.

"The sky is clear because the night has passed."

"Because you smiled at me, missing you feels happy..."

...

The sorrowful music spread like the wind, enveloping An Xia in a gentle sadness.

Some people who were about to leave stopped in their tracks, feeling an inexplicable heaviness in their hearts as if they were experiencing An Xia's story firsthand.

The wandering love that couldn't be voiced, the humble yet stubborn persistence...

No matter how hard it was, because of love, having it meant no more asking.

More and more people gathered on the beach, and An Xia was completely immersed in his singing, both crying and pleading:

"GIRL, truly loving you means having no other wishes."

"If there's anything I can't let go of, it's being separated from you..."

Upon hearing this, a male listener burst into tears.

Alone in a strange place, thinking of that special someone...

She once said that your favorite song is a true love cloud,

And my favorite song is an unfinished story.

From then on, I left the city where you were alone, no longer allowing you to mock my confusion and ignorance...

When the song ended, the lingering melody still echoed on the golden beach, and the audience was deeply moved, unable to return to reality for a long time.

Even though the song was sorrowful, the unwavering dedication revealed in the lyrics brought a sense of freedom and carefree joy.

To love is to love,

What if there's no result?!

At least I once loved someone sincerely and selflessly,

The male listener smiled with a sense of relief.

The sea breeze blew against his face, bringing a fresh and free smell,

No matter how scarred and uneven the beach was, the waves would smooth it out again,

Maybe just like the lyrics said,

Loving you truly means having no other wishes.

Let everything be hidden in the heart,

The past experiences are like a self-run with abandon,

I ran through the summer where you were,

And you ran through my entire youth...

"Great singing!"

The male listener shouted loudly!

With his shout, others joined in.

"Great singing!"

"Sing a few more!"

The cheers seemed to startle An Xia, pulling him out of his sorrowful thoughts.

He looked up,

Seeing a circle of big men in vests and shorts surrounding him,

Making him instantly nervous and cold.

Fortunately,

Among the crowd, there were also cute girls in dresses and tank tops and shorts,

"Are you live streaming?"

"Handsome guy, do you have a Douying account? You sing so well, I want to follow you and listen to your songs."

"I heard you singing here a few nights ago, and I thought it was great. When you didn't sing for a few days, I thought you left..."

"I really like your singing. Are you singing here regularly?"

A barrage of questions hit him like a storm,

Making An Xia blush deeply,

He stammered for a long time before speaking:

"I'm the resident singer at Langai Hotel. I sing at the hotel at night, and sometimes in the afternoon here."

Knowing he was the resident singer at Langai Hotel, everyone looked back at the hotel.

As if trying to confirm the location.

"Handsome, sing another song!"

"Yes, sing a few more, we want to hear."

Blushing, An Xia lowered his head, took a deep breath,

Strummed his guitar, and began to hum again...

...

While the boss's golden singer was building his first group of fans on the beach,

Deep inside Langai Hotel,

Chen Jianhai was sneakily hiding behind the warehouse with "Xie Zhu Long Xiong",

"Pop", "Pop", two bottles of chilled Snow Beer were opened.

Cold air wafted from the bottles, and the sound of foam rising and bursting could be heard.

"Xie Zhu Long Xiong" watched Chen Jianhai down half a bottle of beer,

His face filled with hesitation and struggle.

"Why aren't you drinking? Aren't you thirsty?!"

Chen Jianhai happily burped, wiped his sweat, feeling much more comfortable.

These days he had been busy from morning till night with "Xie Zhu Long Xiong" and a few employees,

Today they finally stocked enough charcoal for the barbecue,

With just a bit more preparation, the barbecue carnival could open in a day or two.

Looking at the Snow Beer in his hand, "Xie Zhu Long Xiong" showed a conflicted look of wanting to drink but not daring to.

"Boss, the hotel has a rule against drinking while on duty. What if someone finds out..."

Chen Jianhai immediately rolled his eyes.

"Who's gonna find out?"

"What can they do if they find out?!"

"I'm the boss and drinking with you, even if someone reports you to me, what can they do?!"

"What can they do!"

Encountering such an honest employee, Chen Jianhai was helpless.

This employee was hardworking, the type who silently worked hard and made others feel sorry for him.

Honest to a fault, but too earnest.

Needs more grooming in the future.

Seeing "Xie Zhu Long Xiong" still showing a look of wanting but not daring to drink, Chen Jianhai was speechless.

"Fine!"

"I'll leave, alright! I'll leave, then you drink!"

"I'll cover for you if anyone comes!"

"Xie Zhu Long Xiong" brightened up and nodded vigorously.

Chen Jianhai rolled his eyes mercilessly, patted his butt, and walked out of the warehouse.

Friends, don't worry,

Everyone has to work at the hotel,

But I need to figure out how to write some friends' names in,

Anyway, no one can escape~ Hehehe
