Zhijing Pavilion is located on the west side of the west embankment of Kunming Lake, commonly known as the regimental city.

Therefore, this lake located on the southwest side of Kunming Lake is also called Tuancheng Lake.

The outer circle of the Zhijing Pavilion is about 60 meters in diameter, it is a circular water fortress, but unfortunately it has been destroyed in the Cixi period, and now only a desolate isolated island ruins are left.

Tuancheng Lake is the terminus of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project and the main source of drinking water for Shangjing.

Due to the large number of people who come here for wild swimming, in order to protect the water source, the government can only destroy the landscape of the Summer Palace and deprive visitors of viewing at the cost of investing tens of millions of dollars to increase the height and encrypt the fence to prohibit tourists from entering, thus making it difficult to reproduce the landscape of Tuancheng Lake.

There are no private boats on the lake, so if you want to climb the Zhijing Pavilion, you must either sneak over the fence and swim over, or you can only wait for the lake to freeze in winter and step on the ice.

It's been closed off for a long time, and it's a bit desolate.

In addition, it was getting late, and the island was wooded, blocking most of the moonlight with teeth and claws, so it looked eerie and terrifying.

Chen Xi gently stepped onto Zhijingge Island with the little guy in his arms, and what he saw was a scorched tree, its mottled shadow echoing the scarred city wall behind, and through the gap in the roots of the tree, you could see the shadow of the Yuquan Mountain Pagoda in the distance.

This place is too remote and gloomy, so the little guy was immediately scared, so he could only shrink into Chen Xi's arms as much as possible, and his little hands hugged Chen Xi tightly, and his palms were even colder.

This also made Chen Xi frown slightly.

I thought that Zhijing Pavilion was a good place, but I didn't expect to find that it was just a desolate ruin after I came.

It's not good to scare the child, so Chen Xi gently put his left hand on the little guy's head, hugged her and prepared to leave.

However, before leaving, Chen Xi suddenly raised his head, and after looking thoughtfully at the abandoned city wall that was more than ten meters high, he stepped back on the water and slowly left.

Return to the hotel.

The little guy was a little unhappy, probably frightened.

Even when Chen Xi said that she would play games with her, she couldn't get interested.

There was no way, Chen Xi could only sit on the bed with her, and then told her Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale.

The story is not important, the important thing is to have a father by your side.

So the little guy wrapped in a soft quilt, lay in Chen Xi's arms, listened to his babbling stories, and finally slowly relaxed, and then fell asleep deeply.

The next day, it was still dawn.

Maybe she was frightened last night, so the little guy seemed to be having a nightmare, and before anyone woke up, she waved her little hand and muttered in a daze: "Baba...... Baba ......"

"Daddy is here. ”

Chen Xi sat cross-legged beside her, and after hearing her shout, he immediately looked at her situation, then put his hand on the little guy's forehead, and said softly: "Dad is here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, baby......"

Perhaps it was Chen Xi's comfort that had an effect, the little guy hugged Chen Xi's wrist indiscriminately, and then changed his position and continued to fall asleep.

Chen Xi couldn't move casually when she grabbed her wrist, so she could only maintain such an awkward posture and quietly look at the little guy's sleeping little face.

His eyes were soft, full of a feeling called fatherly love.

……

China Shipping.

Jincheng Garden.

Inside Ning Zhongguo's study.

Lao Hu sat on the sofa and waited quietly for Ning Zhongguo to reply.

He had been with Ning Zhongguo since he was eighteen years old, and it had been more than twenty years now.

And he, from a dispensable warehouse keeper at the beginning, slowly climbed to the position of vice president of China Shipping COSCO Group.

Lao Hu is not highly educated, he came out to work after dropping out of junior high school, and if it were not for Ning Zhongguo's promotion, he would not have been able to get to where he is today.

So in Lao Hu's heart, Ning Zhongguo is his benefactor, and he is also a noble person who gave him the opportunity to prove the value of his life.

After Ning Zhongguo listened to Lao Hu's report, he frowned slightly.

After careful consideration, Ning Zhongguo asked, "Are you sure the news is true?"

Hearing this, Lao Hu immediately nodded and said with great certainty: "It's absolutely true." Xu Wei definitely has Mr. Chen's elixir in his hand, but I can't be sure how much it is for the time being......

"How did he find Mr. Chen?"

After speaking, without waiting for Lao Hu to answer, Ning Zhongguo suddenly seemed to think of something, and immediately shook his head and laughed.

After shaking his head slightly, he sighed lightly as if he was emotional: "Except for you, only Lao Liu and Qiu Tong know about Mr. Chen's existence." Yesterday, Lao Liu suddenly took a long vacation, and I really thought he had something urgent to deal with...... I really didn't expect that Lao Liu would betray me one day......"

Lao Hu did not speak.

Although he is the vice president and Lao Liu is the driver, Lao Liu's qualifications are deeper than him.

For his henchmen, Ning Zhongguo will never treat him badly.

Lao Hu wanted to climb up, so Ning Zhongguo let him sit in the position of vice president, second only to Ning Qiutong in the Sino-Ocean Group.

Lao Liu didn't have such a heavy sense of dedication, Ning Zhongguo wanted to transfer him many times, but Lao Liu resigned with a smile.

Therefore, Ning Zhongguo can only seal a big red envelope for him every year, and the thickness is not thinner than Lao Hu's annual salary.

Ning Zhongguo sighed for a while, but he didn't seem to take this matter too seriously.

After taking a sip of tea, he said seemingly casually: "That's it, it is estimated that Xu Wei's methods are too powerful, and Lao Liu may have something unspeakable...... Anyway, if you look at it, you don't have to ask me about it. ”

"Okay. ”

Hearing this, Lao Hu nodded heavily.

In the slightly narrowed eyes, a cold light faintly flashed.

After talking about Lao Liu, Ning Zhongguo thought about it again before gently putting down the teacup.

After pondering for a while, he said to Lao Hu again: "Xu Wei should have found Mr. Chen before he went to Beijing...... In this case, you put the company's affairs aside first, and I will arrange two important tasks for you. ”

You say. ”

"The first task, starting today, you are looking for a woman named Qin Ruoying with all your might. This woman is Mr. Chen's partner, who has been missing for three years and appeared in Beijing for the last time, and Mr. Chen probably went to Beijing this time to find her. But I think you can start with Zhonghai University...... The identity of this woman should not be simple, so there is no upper limit to the task budget, and when you need to use money, you can go to the financial account, if you encounter any difficulties, notify me in time, and I will come forward. ”

"Yes. ”

"Second Mission......

Speaking of this, Ning Zhongguo suddenly laughed.

Then, with a slight sneer on his face, he said softly: "Since Xu Wei wants to mix a foot in my plate, let's see if he can squeeze in......
