The chauffeur drove them through the city of San Ya, and Xue Li quickly fell asleep on the slight bumps. Fang Xiaogang gently put her down on the seat.

He contacted A-Li on WeChat to find a place to meet him. A-Li took a taxi to meet him at a nearby coffee shop called Keyu Coffee. The chauffeur brought Shirley to the nearby parking lot and waited.

Ah Li brought information about the owners of other projects. There was no need to talk to them one by one. Basically, they were all small shops, and more than half of them were illegal buildings.

"Where's little sister Xue Li?" A-Li asked.

"Ah, she's sleeping in the car. She didn't sleep well last night.”Fang Xiaogang said.

"Oh, is she angry or unhappy?”she asked casually.

"…There will definitely be a little.”he said awkwardly.

"…It's my fault. I drank too much yesterday.”She lowered her head and nodded slightly. Then, she glanced at Fang Xiaogang. He was also looking at her. A-Li smiled brightly, the round earrings on her ears swaying from side to side."It's no big deal. What happened last night is in the past.”

They returned to the car together. The driver was looking at his phone in boredom. Shirley changed her position and fell asleep in the back seat.

A-Li took the seat next to Cher and pushed Fang Xiaogang to the front passenger seat. The sound of the door opening woke Xue Li up. Ah Li smiled and let her sleep on her lap. After Xue Li woke up, she was dazed for a while and didn't plan to sleep anymore. A-Li looked at her with a friendly smile, her eyes seemingly full of meaning.

The group drove around the project area and returned to the hotel. A-Li took out her laptop from her luggage and started working on the balcony with Cher. Xue Li was calculating the cost of the project's demolition, while Ah Li was building a 3D model of the project's terrain on the computer like a sandbox. Fang Xiaogang acted as if he had two secretaries.

Fang Xiaogang shook his head and said,"This job feels a little fuzzy."”

A-Li crossed her beautiful legs and looked at the screen. She and Cher exchanged a glance and put down their notebooks.

"Then give me a comprehensive judgment. Just like last time, the details of the report should be vague.”Xue Li said.

"Well, no matter what, submit the report tomorrow. We'll book a plane ticket and go back tomorrow.”

"Alright, I'll do it. I'm here to check the plane tickets now." Xue Li nodded.

"Yes, I went back this afternoon.”A-Li looked at the two of them and smiled."Sorry for the trouble."

"It's nothing. I'm very happy to meet you again this time.”Xue Li said.

In the afternoon, Alexia packed up her full backpack, changed into a shirt, a suit, and a pair of shorts. She put on a cloth hat and left.

"Sister Shirley, I'm leaving.”

"I'll send you off." Xue Li said.

"Alright, Mr. Fang, you don't have to send me off. Let's have a private conversation between us sisters.”she said.

"Alright, be careful on the road, sister A-Li.”Fang Xiaogang stayed in the room and continued to read the documents.

They walked down to the hotel lobby hand in hand. Alexia said,""Let's go to the smoking room over there and smoke a cigarette and chat. I know you have a pack of Explosive Jewels in your pocket.”

Shirley smiled in surprise and followed her into the smoking room.

The two of them lit up their cigarettes. Ah Li asked," You quit smoking a long time ago, right? You came down to buy these cigarettes after we fell asleep last night, right?”

"Big Sister is meticulous," Xue Li said, slightly embarrassed.”

A-Li shook her hand apologetically and sighed."Younger Sister, now the sisters are secretly competing. Who can bet on the right person, the Heaven's Son? That Zhou Weimin of mine secretly promised to take a commission, but he was rejected. You don't have one, do you?”

"No, I haven't. He's too honest." Xue Li said.

"An honest person deserves an honest person. You're also very honest.”"Your virginity is still…" A-Li laughed.

"Sister, let's not talk about this." Shirley interrupted her awkwardly. Many men in the smoking room were secretly paying attention to these two beauties.

"It's okay. They can't hear you. Alright, I won't talk about this." She took a puff of her cigarette and said," There are still candidates who are constantly being discovered and eliminated. The one that Cindy follows seems to be the most appreciated by the boss. Look at how she can find time to play with us. When she wasn't around, the boss would definitely follow her.”

"I'm not surprised that she's the Son of Heaven's Son.”Xue Li nodded.

"That might not be the case. Although she eliminated five people, no one can say for sure. If even the boss couldn't choose her, how special could her ability be? This was a matter of luck. I feel that your luck is not bad at all.”Ah Li said.

"As long as we can find the person, we're all a team. There's no need to fight over this. Alexia, are you waiting for a new candidate to be handed to you? Where are you going now?"

"I'll go to Hong Kong to wait for the mission. The transportation there is convenient. I'll go and meet Cindy. She should be there too. I'll go and see what kind of person she's with. You know I'm always thick-skinned.”she said with a smile.

They hugged at the entrance of the hotel and said goodbye. Alexia waved and left with her bulging backpack.

While they were not around, Fang Xiaogang called Yang Dan. She was at work and seemed to be in a hurry. She hung up after a few words and did not even have time to say when she was going back.

After hanging up the phone, Fang Xiaogang took Shirley's notebook to edit the manuscript of the report.

After a while, Shirley returned with some cigarettes, drinks, and fruits.

After A-Li left, they returned to their own world. The two of them relaxed a little and became much closer as they worked together.

"We have the framework for the report, but have you decided on the consultant's opinion?”Xue Li asked.

"I plan to support this project. Now that the hotel is half-abandoned, it's always good to build it. The location is also quite good. If the price can't be negotiated, let the company's follow-up people discuss it.”he said.

Xue Li nodded and said,"Then we'll go back tomorrow. Do you want to go out for a walk tonight?”

"Sure, I'll listen to your arrangements tonight.”he said.

At night, there was a sea of people on the beach of the Bay of Atlantis. Fang Xiaogang and Xue Li called for Di Di after they had dinner at the hotel. It took them a long time to get to this famous beach. It felt like all the residents of San Ya had come out. There were even more people dancing and singing, and the music was rising and falling. No one could hear what was being played unless they were close.

"You guys were really prescient to choose Phoenix Island to play in a band. There's no way to sing here.”Fang Xiaogang praised.

They walked hand in hand through the huge crowd for a while, and their ears hurt from the noise. After he couldn't take it anymore, he ran to the city where there were many residential areas and walked for more than ten kilometers.

He tasted a bowl of Hainan vermicelli in the small restaurant, entered the small bar, and drank the black Shitao craft beer. Under the sparse streetlights on the path, the two elongated figures leaned against each other.

The next day, they planned to return home. When they were packing their luggage, Fang Xiaogang found an extra few thousand yuan in cash and asked Shirley if she knew where the money came from.

"The money that someone threw at us when we were playing the band that night, I gave it to you.”she said.

"That should belong to you. If they don't want it, it should belong to you.”As he spoke, he took out the money and wanted to put it in Shirley's bag.

"Don't…I have enough money. You can take it first.”she said with a frown.

"My current salary is enough. I don't need it.”he said.

"I'll leave it with you for now, okay? I'll ask you for more in the future." she said.

The return flight departed at two o'clock. It was economy class. After the discount, it was surprisingly cheap. Three hours covered a distance of 3,000 kilometers, and the plane ticket was only about 200 yuan.

After the security check, Boss Lu finally called.

"Mr. Fang. Hello."

"Hello, Boss Lu."

"What are you busy with?" Boss Lu asked.

"I'm about to board the plane. Boss Lu, you won't be able to get through to me in a while.”Fang Xiaogang said honestly.

"Ah, he's leaving just like that. He's really in a hurry.”

"Boss Lu, you're too polite.”

"San Ya is a good place. We should come and play more if we have the chance.”

" Yes, Boss Lu." Fang Xiaogang couldn't help but ask,""Forgive me for being blunt. I'm still waiting for the results of your discussion with the shareholders.”

"Yes, I'm naturally calling about this. Let's make it a round number, 300 million. This is the bottom line." he said.

"Alright, I'll do my job according to your wishes.”

"Then, thank you, Mr. Fang. I wish you a safe journey."

"Thank you, thank you. Goodbye, Boss Lu."

"Goodbye."

As expected, the hotel still quoted a price that was much higher than Fang Xiaogang's valuation. Before boarding the plane, he and Shirley submitted the final report. While supporting the project, they also valued the hotel at 130 million. The negotiations for the official launch would be left to the people behind.

Fang Xiaogang got a seat near the window, and Xue Li sat beside him. The plane was 30% empty. No wonder they were selling tickets at a discount.

It was a sunny afternoon. As the plane was cruising in the stratosphere, Fang Xiao had just opened the window and the sunlight shone straight on his face.

Perhaps it was because he was in a good mood and the scenery was beautiful, but he kept looking out the window at the sky, clouds, and earth. The sunlight warmed her face. She couldn't help but sneeze as she looked at the sun.

"What's wrong?" Xue Li asked.

"It's normal to sneeze while looking at the sun. Don't you know?”he said.

"This is the first time I've heard of it." Xue Li shook her head.

"You can try." He let out the sunlight.

Xue Li narrowed her eyes and looked at it for a while, but there was no reaction.

"Let me demonstrate." He looked at the sun again and sneezed again. An old woman in the front row looked back at them and then turned back.

"Alright, alright." Xue Li said softly.

"I don't have a cold." Fang Xiaogang was dissatisfied with the old woman's gaze. He looked at the sun again. This time, he looked at it for five to six seconds before sneezing. He wanted to sneeze again and continue looking at the sun. The sun's intense rays were so bright that it was almost blinding.

This time, he looked at it for more than ten seconds. He seemed to be sneezing, but he couldn't. He opened his mouth and tried his best. The sunlight on his retina was getting bigger and bigger, and he was almost blind when he looked at other places, but he still persevered like a child.

Shirley looked at him worriedly. He had been looking at her for more than half a minute, but he still didn't move. Instead, he stared at the sun with his eyes wide open. She couldn't help but pull him back, but he raised his hand to stop her.

The sunlight had already imprinted a black shadow on Fang Xiaogang's entire retina. His eyes seemed to have adapted to the strong light. There seemed to be a subconscious instinct in the dizzy light that made him continue to look at the sun. There were no clouds in the stratosphere, and the sunlight was not blocked. The pupil seemed to have become a channel for receiving sunlight. Fang Xiaogang's consciousness suddenly began to drift. For some reason, he refused to look away. No one knew what he saw.

This time, the stare lasted for a very long time. Shirley thought it had been more than ten minutes. She was very worried, but he insisted on not stopping. After a long time, Fang Xiaogang suddenly closed his eyes and stopped looking at the sun. He fumbled to pull down the window panel.

Fang Xiao had just closed his eyes and sat quietly when Xue Li asked him,""How are you?" He didn't get a response. Xue Li placed her hand on his shoulder and looked down at his face. His eyes were closed as if he was asleep.

She shook his shoulders, and he gradually moved. He closed his eyes and asked,""How long have I been looking at it?"

"Who knows? About ten minutes.”Xue Li said angrily.

"No, your illusion should be around eight minutes and forty seconds.”he said, shaking his head.

"Can you still use your eyes?" she asked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Fang Xiao had just opened his eyes when he saw nothing. "I can't see anything for the time being."

"My God, aren't you stupid?”she said with a smile.

Fang Xiaogang also smiled and did not reply to her. He spent the rest of the three-hour flight sleeping. He didn't even eat the meal that the stewardess gave him at four o'clock.

The plane landed, and the people in front and behind stood up to get off the plane. Because there was only one aisle, most people were standing in their seats and waiting.

"We're here. Can you see it?" Xue Li asked.

Fang Xiaogang opened his eyes and shook his head."Not yet. Let's sit for a while before we play.”Shirley held his arm and waited for everyone to get off the plane. There was only one small bag in the luggage rack. They had checked in all three large suitcases and would retrieve them after they got off the plane.

She carried her bag in one hand and helped Fang Xiao off the plane with the other. He had become blind all of a sudden. Finally, the plane stopped at the terminal building. There was no need to take a bus. Shirley helped him walk slowly.

"Where is the toilet? I want to go to the toilet.”Fang Xiaogang whispered to Xue Li.

This was really difficult. Xue Li didn't know what to do.

"Take me to the door of the men's bathroom. I'll go in by myself.”he said.

"Can't you see? Let's wait for a while. I'll help you into the ladies 'room.”

"It's okay. I can do it."

"Let's go straight to the hospital later.”she said.

"Let's solve the toilet problem first. I'm so anxious.”he said.

Xue Li was quite brave. After seeing that most of the people had left, she directly helped Fang Xiaogang into the men's bathroom.

"Where is this place?" he asked.

"Don't worry, it's the men's toilet." She helped him unbuckle his belt.

Halfway through, someone came in and was shocked to see Xue Li. "There are blind people here.”She explained to the others.

The person nodded in understanding and entered the large compartment with a door.
