Early in the morning, I took an hour's flight to the airport of Guanyuan.

The plane was still over the Guanyuan, and then I saw the lush green forest as far as the eye could see, the trauma of the mudslide more than ten years ago has long been gone, and even the Guanyuan Mountain, which was previously razed to the ground, has been restored into an artificial mountain. The devastated past was now full of life, and Lin Xiuze thought that this should be the center of the legendary Thousand Nest Forest Paradise.

Sure enough, it is worthy of its name, a bird's-eye view from the window on the plane, the whole land seems to be dressed in green, it is said that this Thousand Grove Paradise covers an area of 30,000 square kilometers, spanning five cities and eight counties, which is divided into six parks.

It is reported that this Thousand Grove Paradise is inspired by the legendary Sky City, saying that the Sky City is suspended in space, a 7,000-year-old tree in the city is a single tree, all kinds of exotic flowers and grass warblers fly swallow dance, beautiful, it is simply a paradise.

Lin Xiuze smiled secretly in his heart, these investors are also doing everything in order to promote and build momentum, the city in the sky, 7,000-year-old trees, who has seen these, it is a good wish in people's hearts to say that it is good, and it is just a gimmick to say that it is a philistine.

Yi Shizhong probably knew that Xiao Zhenglong didn't come, so he only sent a driver to pick up Lin Xiuze at the airport, Lin Xiuze followed the driver who claimed to be Xiao Wei and got into the car, Xiao Wei said that Mr. Yi was very busy these days, and he was about to develop a conference and couldn't get out, otherwise he would definitely come to pick you up in person.

Then he said that Mr. Yi was too busy to see him have anything else to do outside of work.

Lin Xiuze asked Yi if there are always other industries besides clothing companies, Xiao Wei smiled deeply and said, Boss Yi is not an ordinary person, the clothing industry is just a drop in the bucket of his life, I don't know what he is doing, anyway, he is a very powerful character, super rich!

chatting all the way, after a while, I arrived at Yi Shizhong's Xiyuan Clothing Co., Ltd.

The five-storey office building is still quite magnificent, and on the roof of the south-facing building, you can see the two big red characters of "Xi Yuan" from afar. The driver took Lin Xiuze upstairs to find Yi Shizhong, and did not forget to introduce to Lin Xiuze layer by layer that this floor is the garment workshop, this floor is the cardboard department and the sample workshop, and this floor is the design department.

Follow Xiao Wei's driver to the exhibition hall, there are crowds of people here, agents in various places are enthusiastically promoting the products of the second half of the year, Xiao Wei finally found Yi Shizhong and walked over with him, Yi Shizhong said apologetically:

"Lawyer Lin, I'm really sorry that I have two big guests here who are negotiating, Xiao Wei, you take Lawyer Lin to my upstairs office to sit for a while, and I'll come right away." ”

So Xiao Wei led Lin Xiuze to Yi Shizhong's office on the fifth floor.

From the simple but simple decoration style of this office, it is not difficult to see that the owner of the office has quite high taste.

The whole office is almost more than 100 square meters, and the desks and sofas, coffee tables and chairs are all made of black walnut wood with the first layer of camel leather, which looks stable and low-key and of high quality.

Behind the slender desk, there is a bookcase standing on the ground, which is neatly arranged with all kinds of books, and on the opposite side of the desk, is the rest and reception area, a long S-shaped coffee table, the panel is a whole wood according to the original appearance of grinding and polishing, and then a simple varnish, the earthy brown wood grain is clearly visible, and the center of the coffee table, this huge rosewood log tea tray is furnished.

On one side of the coffee table, there is a single sofa with a black walnut frame cowhide in the middle, and a little behind the sofa is a row of potted green plants, such as ficus, millennium wood, dragon's blood tree, ......, and a graceful snow willow by the window is blooming with clusters of small white flowers, and the snow is covered on the branches of different shapes, exuding a faint fragrance.

On the opposite side of the coffee table, there are more than a dozen wooden chair sofas parallel to the S-shaped coffee table, and there are also lush greenery behind it, and the whole rest area is like a small forest.

Lin Xiuze liked this leisure space hidden in the forest very much, and he was fascinated by it, when the driver Xiao Zhang pushed open the door and followed a tall, elegant woman with a few sexy eyebrows and phoenix eyes.

She was dressed in a well-cut warm gray suit and skirt suit, with a white silk ruffled shirt with a small stand-up collar, simple and elegant. She smiled and walked over like Lin Xiuze, and said as she walked:

"You are Lawyer Lin, you have worked hard!"

Only then did Lin Xiuze see clearly that this fairy-like professional girl with willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes actually had dark blue eyes. Exuding a dark and crystalline light, as if it can hook away people's souls, Lin Xiuze unnaturally withdrew his gaze staring at her, only to see the other party walk up to him and stretch out his hand to shake hands with Lin Xiuze warmly and proportionately, and said apologetically with a smile in his eyes:

"I'm really sorry, our Mr. Yi really can't spare time today, I am her administrative assistant, my name is Lan Ranran, lawyer Lin can ask me if you have any needs, and I have full authority to cooperate with your work on behalf of Mr. Yi. ”

The two sat down after a few official greetings, and Lan Ran sat on the single sofa opposite, washing tea and rinsing the tea set elegantly and skillfully......

Lin Xiuze learned about the case in detail like Lan Ranran, and Lan Ran was also by her side when the crime occurred, so she was very clear about the ins and outs, and she also knew that the whole thing was clearly stated in words, Lin Xiuze recorded it carefully, and then reported to Lan Ran Bao about the arrangements for the two-day itinerary.

After chatting about the case and the several defense entry points that Lin Xiuze probably thought of, he learned about the general situation of Xiyuan's company, and then Lan Ran arranged for the driver Xiao Wei to take him to the company's hotel to check in.

The company's hotel is specially for guests from all over the country who come to see the order fair, usually open to the public, although it is not a star hotel, but it is also very clean and tidy, and the decoration style of Xiyuan company is the same, simple and elegant, the whole hotel is surrounded by green mountains and green waters, but it seems that there is a bit of peace and quiet without the world.

It was already noon after checking in, so Xiao Wei took Lin Xiuze to the hotel's canteen for lunch, and in the afternoon, Lin Xiuze walked around by himself.

The most famous thing in the whole Guanyuan City is, of course, the project of the hundred-year ecological migration of civil engineering, and he saw the towering ancient trees in Xiao Wei's car before, so he called a car and went directly to the entrance of the park.

Standing at the foot of the paradise, looking up and not seeing the end of the tree, it stands majestically, like a wise man who has gone through vicissitudes but has a tenacious and vigorous vitality, the thick and strong branches are intricately stretched like the sky, and the branches and leaves are impermeable to the wind to form a tight and huge green sky.

Lin Hailiu once told him that this ancient tree was created by him and other engineers, saying that it was created with 500 old stumps of catalpa trees through renovation, reorganization and grafting, etc., basically reaching the style of 7,000 years of ancient trees.

The park is surrounded by a high wall, and there is nothing to see except the trees that are scattered high and low.

In the afternoon, Yi Shizhong called to express his apologies, and then said mysteriously, Lawyer Lin, don't go to dinner by yourself in the evening, I will take you to a special restaurant, I promise that you have never heard of it.

Lin Xiuze guessed that the boss just apologized politely for not receiving him all day, and he didn't take it seriously, and when it was dark in the evening, sure enough, Yi Shizhong drove his Land Rover to the door of the hotel to pick up Lin Xiuze, and there were three other guests who said that they were the most important guests who came today.

A group of five people drove through the city center, arrived at the foot of Guanyuan Mountain, and then drove along the foot of the mountain to the artificial mountain, reached the halfway point of the mountain, bypassed the back of the mudslide memorial museum, and settled in front of a very inconspicuous hotel hidden at the entrance of the mountain cave.
