The familiar back flashed, and when Lin Qingshuang reached out and rubbed his eyes, he had disappeared from the crowd.

Lin Qingshuang's eyes quickly searched through the crowd, bustling and noisy, and there was no Sun Chenxiao.

The woman smiled and scratched her hair, only to think that she was dazzled, all the people involved in the project this time traveled together, how could Sun Chenxiao appear here so far away.

Lin Qingshuang shrugged her shoulders, tightened her coat and turned around and left the window, she opened the suitcase and lit the aromatherapy and put it at the head of the bed, and then lay comfortably on the bed.

She has been through a lot lately, and whenever she sleeps at night, she is always a little restless, and she has to rely on the hypnotic effect of aromatherapy.

Lin Qingshuang was lying flat on the bed, her white and slender arms were under her head, and the whole person was curled up, which was an extremely insecure sleeping position.

She closed her eyes, but her face was faintly worried, and she quickly went through all the information she had checked before, and there were too many uncertainties about this investigation.

The Atlantean civilization has always been a legendary existence, and there is no definitive information to prove that this civilization is real.

There are many theories about the Atlantean civilization spread on the Internet, and the content of Plato's writings originally pushed the kingdom of Atlantis into the public eye.

There are three highly recognized theories about the whereabouts of Atlantis, one is to sink under the sea, and the other is to exist under the Antarctic ice sheet, and Lin Qingshuang and the most recognized speculation they have received is that the existing Eye of the Sahara Desert is likely to be the site of the Kingdom of Atlantis.

The Eye of the Sahara has a peculiar concentric circle landform, which looks like a giant blue eye when viewed from the air, and it is even said that the Eye of the Sahara is the gate of hell that leads to a parallel universe.

Regardless of whether these speculations and statements are true or not, it has to be said that it is the closest to the concept map of Atlantis, and it is the terrain of concentric circles, and it is also the most worthy of their study.

These are all just conjectures, and have not been confirmed by reality, and even whether this civilization really existed is a mystery.

Lin Qingshuang's head was chaotic, and she inexplicably felt that their investigation project was running empty, she shook off the preconceived stereotypes in her head, and whether it was true or not had to be verified before drawing conclusions.

Emptying his whole thoughts, the sound of steady breathing gradually came from the silence in the room, and Lin Qingshuang fell asleep on the bed.

The next morning, everyone gathered in the hotel lobby, with the precedent of the previous excavation of Sumerian civilization, and this time everyone's mental state was more full of antiquity.

Sheng Yixing wore casual and comfortable clothes, got rid of the stereotype and calmness of the past, and had a more athletic and youthful atmosphere, which caused the female colleagues in the group to show their peach blossom eyes.

The man still had a calm face, not caring about the gaze that fell on him, and his eyes drifted to the woman not far away, intentionally or unintentionally.

Lin Qingshuang smiled lightly and communicated with Xinxin and Xiaoyang, and even gave him a stingy look, just as if he couldn't see it.

After the group finished early, they set off in three cars.

They were staying in a hotel in a small town in the Sahara, a long way from the Eye of the Sahara, and it was not practical to walk.

The Sahara Desert is the largest sandy desert in the world, and the climate here is very harsh, making it one of the most inhospitable places for living things.

But because of this natural uniqueness, it forms a unique beauty, and after leaving the town, the car drives deep into the desert.

A whole piece of desert yellow sand has formed a macroscopic and magnificent flower scroll.

Xiao Sun leaned on the window of the car and looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window and sighed excitedly, "Nature is really all-encompassing, and this place is too beautiful!"

The heart pressed on her body, and her eyes were also shining with excitement, "Yes, all natural environments have their own natural laws, if this place is suitable for living, then we can't see such beautiful scenery but high-rise buildings, how boring it is!"

As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone to record this rare beauty.

Lin Qingshuang was full of emotion in her heart, and couldn't help but cover her lips and joke when she heard the words of the two, "I don't know, I thought you two were out to travel!"

The driver in front of him was a local, and he smiled at them in English and proudly introduced the scenery along the way.

Lin Qingshuang turned his head sideways and looked at the land in front of him with burning eyes.

Standing in the desert and looking around, the endless desert seems to be a sea of smoke and waves, some places are as smooth as a mirror, some places are sparkling, some places are undulating, and some places are huge waves.

With the harsh desert beneath your feet, you can vaguely see the vibrant oases and high-rise buildings not far away, and the two intersect to create a desolate and heroic color.

This day, this land, this sea of sand, people can't help but fall into this boundless charm and can't extricate themselves.

Lin Qingshuang was stupid, her love was intertwined in life, which was the freedom she longed for the most.

There are no troubles, no calculations, no misunderstandings and betrayals at this moment, only a clear world and a clean soul.

Xinxin and Little Sun couldn't help but sing loudly, and Lin Qingshuang also smiled and joined in intoxication.

The man in the co-pilot looked through the rearview mirror, his eyes fell on Lin Qingshuang's body wantonly, looking at her bright smile, watching her sing loudly, watching her seem to be plated with a layer of gold under the sun, and the charm of being so free and easy made him unable to take his eyes off.

At this time, Lin Qingshuang is free, she is like a canary who has been imprisoned in a cage for a long time, breaking through the cage and jumping into this desert at this moment.

The man's gaze was so hot, Lin Qingshuang felt it but didn't care, in the past time, she cared so much about the man's gaze that she lost herself.

At this moment, she wants to be her true self, confident, fearless, and dare to try to refute.

The car drove through the desert for more than three hours, and by the time the Eye of the Sahara reached noon.

I have always learned about the Eye of the Sahara in the picture, and after I actually arrived, the group was still shocked by its mystery.

This peculiar terrain forms a grand "eye" with a common spiral and surrounding mountains, as if the eyes of a giant buried beneath the desert are gazing into the sky.

After Lin Qingshuang assigned the characters, everyone no longer hesitated to start the field investigation.

The group carefully circled the Sahara Eye for six hours, but found nothing.

Lin Qingshuang looked at this terrain and intuitively felt that his premonition came true.

Different from the freshness and excitement when they came, the group was exhausted on the return trip, and their faces were dyed with a touch of frustration.

I thought that I would be a great success, but I was extremely pale in the face of reality.

When the group returned to the hotel, the atmosphere was exceptionally silent, and at dinner, everyone was burying their heads in eating.

Lin Qingshuang hung her head and held the knife and fork in her hand for a long time, she was thinking about the feasibility of this project.

After a long time, Lin Qingshuang put down the knife and fork in his hand, crossed his hands on the table, straightened his body slightly, looked at the man opposite and pursed his lips and spoke, "The Atlantean civilization has always been a civilization that is constantly being speculated, and no one knows whether its body really exists, I wonder if maybe this trip to the Sahara Desert will not be able to find anything!"

Lin Qingshuang looked at Sheng Yixing, with a rare seriousness on her pretty face.

Sheng Yixing leaned back in his chair, his black slacks without a trace of wrinkles, just like the calm and calm on his face, without a trace of change.

"What do you think?" the man asked her opinion in a low voice.

He does not deny that Lin Qingshuang is professional in this regard, and her opinions are also worth adopting and listening to.

Without an expected rebuttal, Lin Qingshuang paused slightly, ignoring the strangeness in his heart, and seriously analyzed with him, "We went to the field today to investigate the terrain of the Eye of the Sahara, it is surrounded by unique mountains, but it is very similar to the imagined Atlantis, but in fact, the only way to get the argument is to have a factual basis, and we have not found anything meaningful today." ”

Sheng Yixing narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought, what Lin Qingshuang said was indeed the truth, but it was too early to give up just because of this.

It takes a lot of manpower and power to conduct a project in the early stage and later verification, and it takes so much effort to find that there is nothing in the end, which is a big loss for the company.

Lin Qingshuang expressed his thoughts as a professional, which is very important, and Sheng Yixing, as a decision-maker, should indeed be cautious.

Sheng Yixing pursed his lips and was silent, Lin Qingshuang thought that he didn't listen, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but give his own advice, "I think that even if I go to investigate again, the result will still be the same, in fact, the basis of this investigation is just speculation, which is actually untenable." ”

Sheng Yixing habitually wanted to smoke, but when he touched the cigarette, he realized that it was in the restaurant, so he frowned.

After a while, he opened his mouth lightly, "This matter is not so arbitrary, let's have a small meeting later to see everyone's opinions!"

Lin Qingshuang nodded when she heard this, she knew that Sheng Yixing had her own concerns, this matter was indeed not decided arbitrarily by one person, a project was a group, and it was necessary to absorb everyone's suggestions and ideas.

In the evening, everyone took the time to have a meeting together, and Lin Qingshuang expressed his thoughts and suggestions at the meeting.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere at the meeting reached an unprecedented solemnity, and everyone's face was not very good-looking, after all, the project had been planned for so long, and it was difficult for many people to accept that there was no harvest at the moment.

Lin Qingshuang looked at Xinxin and Xiaoyang, although they also felt very regretful, but they were very supportive of Lin Qingshuang's decision.

From the perspective of decision-makers, finding problems and solving adjustment plans is an act of timely stop loss, but such behavior is rarely corrected in time.

For example, a man who stood up excitedly at the moment and strongly opposed Lin Qingshuang, he was the elite of one of the Sheng family's investigation team, and he unceremoniously scolded back.

"I don't agree with Manager Lin's statement, we worked so hard to prepare the materials in the early stage, and finally came to the field trip, and said that there was no result to return, which is very excessive for all the hard-working partners! A professional team of treasure connoisseurs must be full of passion and expectation to deal with unknown civilizations. ”

The man was excited, and his words covered several layers of meaning, with sneers and tenseness.

The first is to stand on the commanding heights to show that everyone has paid a lot of hard work for this project, the second is to condemn Lin Qingshuang's ideas for being too arbitrary, and the third is to insinuate that Lin Qingshuang does not have a professional spirit of treasure appreciation and retreats when he encounters difficulties.

Sure enough, when his words came out, everyone who was just quietly thinking about the feasibility of Lin Qingshuang's words also inexplicably had a feeling that their hard work had been wrongly paid, and their eyes and attitude towards Lin Qingshuang had changed a lot.

Sheng Yixing looked at the employees of his company, listened to what he said, suddenly frowned, his face turned cold, and he was about to say something, when the calm female voice on the side opened her mouth in time.

Lin Qingshuang sat on the chair, without even changing her posture, she raised her head to look at the employee who spoke, and chuckled.

"I appreciate your straightforwardness, and I've thought about all of what you've said. The woman's clear and cold voice resounded in everyone's hearts, she looked at the people in the conference room, "Everyone has spent a lot of energy and attention when they receive the project, which is a necessary quality for a professional person, which I appreciate." So I just threw my suggestion to you, not that this matter is settled, although I have the right to do so. ”

Lin Qingshuang chuckled, her eyes were full of seriousness and did not make people feel superior, but confidently analyzed with everyone, "The project is going to this point, we have also gone to the field today, firstly, the basis of this project is based on a guess, first of all, this itself is a bit untenable, secondly, we believe that everyone is 100% serious to do everything well, then in such an absolutely serious state we still have nothing, not that we can't, but there is really nothing worth digging here." ”

Lin Qingshuang's earnest words were reasonable, and the man couldn't find anything to refute for a while, but if they were allowed to go back home like this, he felt a little unworthy.

"Manager Lin is right, but what if your judgment is wrong?" the man spoke again, and his words were a little vexatious.

Everyone can't guarantee 100% that their judgment will be correct, Lin Qingshuang knows it very well in her heart, but it doesn't mean that others will have to fully trust her judgment, she helplessly spread her hands and opened her mouth to propose a solution.

"My suggestion is just to avoid wasting more energy and time doing a useless task, but I also respect that everyone has their own ideas, in that case, we will go to the Sahara Eye again tomorrow, and if there is no gain, we must leave. ”

Lin Qingshuang's words were firm, and her eyes were cold, this was her final decision as the team leader, and there was no room for negotiation.

Sheng Yixing nodded approvingly, Lin Qingshuang's decision was convincing, he fully supported it, after all, he said before that she was responsible for the team leader, and he didn't force anything since he was sarcastic by the woman last time.

Although some of Sheng's employees felt that Lin Qingshuang's decision was a bit vexatious, after all, there was no way to refute what she said, not to mention that the leaders had made decisions, and they finally agreed.

After the meeting, Lin Qingshuang returned to the room, and after washing, she lay lazily on the bed in a daze.

This time the project was fruitless, and her heart was naturally not very comfortable, but instead of making mistakes and wasting more manpower and material resources, it was better to stop the loss in time as soon as she found it.

This is Lin Qingshuang's consistent principle of doing things, if you want to say that she is arbitrary or indifferent, but I have to say that her approach is the best and most effective.

Loosen his muscles and bones, picked up a match and lit the incense on the bedside, Lin Qingshuang slowly lay down and was just about to fall asleep, when the mobile phone on the side vibrated in time.

Lin Qingshuang's lazy voice came from the phone, Lin Jin was slightly stunned, then shook his head and chuckled, "Sleepy?"

"Not yet, just ready to sleep!" Lin Qingshuang turned on the amplification of the mobile phone call, and then threw it aside, and buried his face deep in the pillow, and said sullenly.

Lin Jin rang listened to his sister's voice from Jin and Yuan, keenly felt her depression, put down the cup in his hand, and asked with concern, "What's the matter?"

"Hmm. Until my brother couldn't see it, Lin Qingshuang's head buried in the pillow still nodded, and he was a little frustrated, "This time it is estimated that it will be in vain!

"The Atlantean civilization is indeed a difficult subject, it has been surviving in speculation, and it is normal to not find it!" Lin Jin explained.

Listening to her brother's words, Lin Qingshuang's emotions in her heart felt a lot better, she didn't feel anything at first, but after being criticized by that fool at the meeting, she felt uncomfortable.

"By the way, brother, is there something you are calling?" As if thinking of something, Lin Qingshuang suddenly raised his head and asked, his hair was fluffy and the whole quilt was messy.

Lin Jin let his eyes fall on the computer screen, the palms on the table slowly tightened, and his tone gradually sank without the ease of Fang Cai, "The Lin family is now starting to buy shares!"

Before Lin Jin could finish speaking, Lin Qingshuang sat up from the bed, her eyes cold, "Acquisition of shares?" she murmured.

Lin Jinren called to inform her of the news, and after simply saying a few words to ask her to pay attention to her body, she hung up the phone.

Lin Qingshuang couldn't sleep, she felt that things were wrong like her brother when Lin began to buy shares, she sat cross-legged on the bed, and thought for a moment to broadcast a phone call.

I contacted an uncle and said that he wanted to meet with him when he went back.

A forty or fifty-year-old voice came from the other end of the phone, the tone was not good but also very tough, listening to Lin Qingshuang's words, he snorted coldly and responded, "Let's talk about it when you come back!"

Then hung up the phone, Lin Qingshuang didn't have much emotion, holding the phone and sitting on the bed in a daze.

Early the next morning, the group went to the Eye of the Sahara again, just as Lin Qingshuang had guessed.

The second field expedition did not reveal any artifacts related to the age of Atlantis, nor did it find any fossils of interest.

After all, everyone's faces changed, and they returned to the hotel without complaint.

Lin Qingshuang was in the same car with Xiaoyang and Li Yanxing, and Sheng Yixing was in the other car.

This was specially requested by Lin Qingshuang, the purpose was to avoid that man, and these days the man did not shy away from staring at her, which had already caused some news to circulate among the employees of the Shen family and the Sheng family.

It also brought a lot of psychological burden to Lin Qingshuang, Sheng Yixing looked at the car behind him through the rearview mirror, and knew in his heart that this woman was avoiding herself, although she was unhappy, she didn't say anything, closed her eyes and leaned on the seat and began to pretend to sleep.

The group got up early for two days, coupled with the psychological pressure and gap caused by the failure of the project, Xiaoyang and Xinxin naturally wilted, and fell into a deep sleep in the car.

Li Yanxing handed Lin Qingshuang a bottle of mineral water from the co-pilot, and asked softly with his eyes, "Sister Qingshuang, don't you squint for a while? I see that you have dark circles under your eyes, and it is estimated that it will take more than two hours to return to the hotel!"

Lin Qingshuang reached out and took the mineral water and held it in the palm of his hand, smiled at Li Yanxing and shook his head, and said thoughtfully, "I'm not sleepy, see these two are sleeping soundly, you can squint for a while, I'll take a look at the scenery by the way." ”

Seeing this, Li Yanxing nodded and sat up straight without saying anything, the car drove silently in the desert, and Li Yanxing fell asleep unaware of the sleepiness that struck.

Lin Qingshuang looked at the scenery outside the window boredly, the yellow sand was pervasive, extremely hazy, and the calm when he drove away was different, and his vision of seeing things had also changed.

She smiled wryly and shook her head, this trip was a failure after all.

Gradually, looking at the scenery outside the window, Lin Qingshuang felt a little strange in his heart.

Compared with yesterday's driver, today's silent and silent car was very bumpy, and Xiao Sun and his heart woke up in a daze.

Xiao Sun rubbed his eyes and frowned, looked at Lin Qingshuang and asked, "Sister Qingshuang, where have we been? Why is the road so uneven?"

Lin Qingshuang pursed her lips and didn't make a sound, she carefully observed the road outside the window, although all the roads in the desert looked the same, it was obvious that the road they were walking now was not the same as the one they came from yesterday.

The road is more bumpy than before.

"Master, are we going the wrong way?" Lin Qingshuang communicated with the driver in English, but she hadn't finished her words yet.

"Ah...... Ahhhh......h

The car climbed a large hill at a rapid speed, the car was unstable, and it fell into the desert and rolled over, throwing everyone in the car out.

Sheng Yixing habitually looked at the car behind him after he fell asleep, but found that Lin Qingshuang's car was gone.

He immediately asked the driver to stop the car, and after making sure that the car was left behind, he immediately turned back to find someone.
