…………

From Liucheng to Hong Kong, take a flight to Johannesburg, South Africa, the blue sky and white clouds are refreshing, and after a few hours of waiting, you will transfer to the destination Botswana.

- Lo and behold, the richest country in southern Africa, although it has a small land area, it is not poor, it is politically stable, and the law and order are relatively safe, and some people compare Botswana's status to South Korea in Asia.

Of course, thanks to the fact that the headquarters of the African Media Group are located here. If they were located in other poor and backward places, they would still have to bite the bullet.

The airport is relatively small, but because it was newly built a few years ago, it didn't get much dirty, and when you get off the plane, you almost all face black.

The black friends took the initiative to come forward and want to promote their lees, even if the big guys did not go abroad, but only in the country, they knew that these individuals were not hospitable, but for the sake of making a large tip at the end, so they flatly refused.

The non-Chinese media group specially sent someone to pick them up, the Chinese young man, Xiao Sun, and the two sides quickly converged.

The group got into the car, and the local radio was originally playing in the car, and bursts of Botswana songs with rich African colors were heard, and the announcer spoke in Tswana that Fang Songqi did not understand.

Xiao Sun was particularly talkative, and deliberately transferred the broadcast to a Chinese channel owned by the Non-China Media Group, and then enthusiastically introduced them to the local customs and customs along the way, and lived like a tour guide.

However, no matter how strong the freshness and curiosity of the strange city are, it can't compete with the fatigue caused by the more than ten hours of plane travel before this, and Fang Songqi can't be interested at all.

It's just that the traffic is very congested, comparable to the north-south viaduct during the rush hour in Liucheng, and during the long stop-and-go time, she can only bored with Xiao Sun's words to relieve her boredom.

In the second half of the drive in the open suburbs, not blocked, the driver is more energetic, because Botswana is the country with the most elephants in the world, there are often elephants crossing the road, then you need to stop to give way to the elephant, not only can not hit the elephant problem, the most afraid of the elephant anger, then no one can predict what will happen.

Fang Songqi was greatly intrigued and hoped to catch a glimpse of the local elephants.

Unfortunately, I didn't hit any of them, and I fell into a dead scalper on the way, next to a scrapped truck, as if an accident had just happened. After that, he saw a lot of hornbills, as well as Egyptian geese, which filled Fang Songqi's expectations.

Finally arriving at the camp, everyone scribbled a meal cooked by a Chinese chef and couldn't wait to go to the arranged apartment to rest.

I slept until dawn and spent the first night in Africa.

The next day, Amanda got up early than Fang Songqi, and the first thing she did when she got up was to pull the curtains and open the window for ventilation.

Needless to say, how hot the sun is in Africa, not to mention that Fang Songqi is sensitive to sunlight, so he can't sleep anymore, so he has to get up.

Nevertheless, I do have to praise that the clear sky and blue sky and white clouds here are really beautiful, there is no pollution, the transparency is very high, and the air is really good, so there is no need to worry about choking on smog.

During breakfast, Xiao Sun emphasized several precautions to everyone, such as the clear distinction between men and women due to religious reasons, male guests from outside should not take the initiative to shake hands with local women, nor should they talk to local women alone, let alone be overly enthusiastic about local women.

The three male colleagues, including the photographer's eldest brother, were immediately joked by the rest: "You can't easily hook up with African girls~"

Before coming to Africa, everyone joked that if the male compatriots were lucky enough to marry the daughter of an African chief, they would soar to the pinnacle of life.

Xiao Sun then reminded the female colleagues present to be also careful, citing a company order as an example: "We are not allowed to fall in love with black people." ”

Falling in love is a euphemism, that is, not having sex. As we all know, Botswana has the highest rate of HIV infection in the world.

I didn't arrange the itinerary in the morning, and after breakfast, Fang Songqi went back to the room, sorted out the suitcases that I didn't have time to pack yesterday, and took out the necessities, clothes and the like should be hung in the wardrobe.

I found out that there was a small book that didn't belong to me.

Fang Songqi opened suspiciously.

The words in the small book were handwritten, and the content was some tips for coming to Africa, and she flipped through the pages and ten lines of the paper, and at the end she saw the name and number of a contact, which determined that it was one of the items that Ji Zhongtang gave Ji Cunxi to bring her.

There is no need to guess, Xu Jing must have secretly stuffed her behind her back, most likely at the instigation of Ji Cunxi behind her back.

Thinking of Xu Jing, Fang Songqi put down what he was doing and went to call him. I wasn't free yesterday, but I only sent a message to report safety when the plane landed.

Botts' time was six hours slower than that of Liucheng. Xu Jing just got up from a nap, and when the phone was connected, his "sister" was a little choked, and Fang Songqi was powerless to complain: "I'm so good, don't make me feel like I'm going to die, bad luck!"

"Where?" Xu Jing denied, defending his not too manly side, "I've been waiting for your call, sister, I'm just a little anxious." ”

If he hadn't been worried about disturbing her work, he would have taken the initiative to call her.

Fang Songqi rolled his eyes: "You wait a while." ”

After that, she hung up the voice call, switched to a video call and dialed it again, and walked around the apartment, showing him through the camera: "Come on, come on, show you how good my environment is here." You're less blind, hurry up and put it in your stomach. ”

The headquarters of Feihua Media Group, according to the perception of most people, should also be in a high-end office building. This is not the case. They just set up a reception point in the city, and the main body is located in a camp on the outskirts, and like many Chinese companies stationed in Africa, they have contracted a piece of land to fence off and build a similar community, with office buildings and staff apartments all in it, and work and life are integrated.

Ninety percent of the employees are their own Chinese, and the remaining ten percent employ local blacks, a very small number of them are in the upper echelons, and most of them undertake the basic work below. There is no doubt that the folk customs of Africa are simple, but they are generally not ambitious and self-motivated, and they are lazy.

The conditions of the camp are not bad, it can be seen that Fei & Hua attaches great importance to employee welfare, just as far as the staff apartment is concerned, it is not a simple bungalow, it is all two-story villas, furniture and decoration are readily available, you can directly move in, perhaps there is still a certain gap compared with the environment of the same conditions in China, but most of the domestic workers can not enjoy the treatment of food and accommodation.

If you don't go outside, most of the colleagues around you are also black-haired and yellow-skinned, and you won't feel too strongly that you are abroad. But it's inevitable that Isolation, boredom and boredom will come and go.

Far away from a comfortable hometown and coming to a strange and difficult foreign country, the income is also proportional to the effort, and it only depends on personal choice.

Fang Songqi walked from the inside of the apartment to the outside of the apartment, and after a cursory look at Xu Jing, he turned back to the camera: "What's the matter?"

Xu Jing privately searched for information about Botswana, and he basically knew the situation, but the security and environment of the place where Xu went back then were not too chaotic, and in the end, something happened to him, and he was really related.

He was silent, because, as she had said, some words did seem to be deliberately cursing her.

Fang Songqi didn't waste time with him: "If you are satisfied, I will do something." ”

"Sister Wait!" Xu Jing called out to her and discussed with her, "Can you video call me every day during this time?"

"It's just your. Fang Songqi rolled his eyes suddenly, and his mouth should be down, "I'll try my best." ”

Since the afternoon, Fang Songqi has been busy.

Last time, the representatives of Right and Wrong & Hua went to Liucheng for inspection, and this time it was the other way around. The teams of the two sides who work on weekdays across the computer or phone face to face face again, without strangeness and formality, more like an old friend reuniting after a long absence.

The next three days are equivalent to catching up with old friends.

Fang Songqi likes to eat and drink after work every day.

There are many Chinese restaurants in Botts, and the staple food is actually Western food, and all kinds of Western restaurants are full of exotic atmosphere. Although the local taste of Kou may not be used to them, since they are here, they must be brave enough to try. Anyway, Fang Songqi is the most active in eating.

So in a short period of time, she basically ate all the meat. The local beef is completely incomparable in China, and the raw beef jerky has a delicious aftertaste, and several colleagues plan to take it back to their relatives as gifts. It is important to mention that she has expanded her life's carnivorous range to include crocodiles, zebras, ostriches and other animals - non-wild, artificially farmed, and after being made into barbecue, it is fragrant enough without seasonings.

As a landlocked country, Botts is close to South Africa and not far from the sea, so there is no shortage of seafood, and the locals don't like these things, which are cheaper for outsiders, and it tastes like they don't need money.

Vegetables are in short supply throughout Africa, which is exactly what Ji Zhongtang said when she interviewed him.

Fong's inspiration continues to spring up with a satisfied stomach, and she feels that this time, her column in Taste will not be out of manuscripts for a long time. This made her miss the days when she used to run around with Fang Jie's footsteps......

After going out to drink and eat well, it is a rule to go back to camp before the sun sets, otherwise it is not safe at night and it is often easy to have accidents.

Although Botts is a relatively safe country, it is still inevitable that there will be looting from time to time, and Chinese shops have been smashed. Asking someone from a security company to maintain security is a sure thing, like the non-Chinese camp, there are security guards everywhere, and it is said that the security guard is from a military background.

On the fourth day, it's a purely sightseeing tour.

Before that, Fang Songqi first met an old friend-

"Brother Hua......?"

Ren Jiahua pushed the sunglasses above her head and looked her up and down: "...... tanned?"

Africa's ultraviolet rays are truly unforgiving. Fang Songqi was helpless, and greeted him: "I don't seem to have heard that I can see you?"

They came to inspect with a handful of small people, and they didn't go to the point where they needed to alarm the boss to receive them personally.

Ren Jiahua got out of the car and walked in from under the sun: "Yes, I didn't plan to come here during this time. But it's not you? I'll take the time to come from Hong Kong. ”

Fang Songqi didn't take it seriously, but he still had to answer: "Then I am really guilty and have taken up your precious time, Brother Hua." ”

Ren Jiahua smiled: "I heard that you are happy with me?"

Fang Songqi also smiled: "It's so happy to be an employee of Brother Hua." ”

"How? Are you interested in changing jobs?"

"I'm just an intern at DK, so where did I get to change jobs? I have to wait until I graduate next year to actually start working. That's someone else picking on me. ”

"So what about next year after graduation? Are you interested?" Ren Jiahua didn't look like he was joking, "I won't send you to Africa, just Hong Kong." ”

"Is the salary high?"

"Certainly no less than you stay in DK. ”

Fang Songqi touched his chin when he heard this, and after two seconds, he smiled brightly: "Then I will take it as the first offer, and I will definitely consider Brother Hua first when the time comes~"

"You should say yes. Ren Jiahua pretended to be dissatisfied, "I said a minute ago that others picked you, but now you are picking me." ”

Before she could react, he joked again: "Compared with working for me, it is a better choice to be a boss lady at Lin Zi." ”

Belch...... Fang Songqi was inconvenient to say "grass", so he simply glanced at the time, changed the topic, and said goodbye to him: "Brother Hua, I'll go in first to meet my colleagues, and we'll go out later." ”

"Go ahead and stay safe. Ren Jiahua nodded, and after seeing her back, he took out the mobile phone that was still in his pocket for voice calls.

He was originally on the phone with Lin Shinian, and just ran into Songqi, he didn't hang up, and he could continue directly at this time: "Lin Zi, do you hear me?" Xiaofang is not unaccustomed to here, eat and sleep well, have fun." Xiao Fang knows that my time is precious, and you even asked me to come over. ”

"Where are they going to play today?" Lin Shinian asked.

"Camping in Chobe National Park. ”

"Please arrange a few more security guards for them. ”

Ren Jiahua shook his head while laughing: "I'm really worried about her, how good is it for you to come by yourself? ”

…………

Unexpectedly, when he set off, Brother Hua also came.

Half of the people who traveled were non-Chinese employees, and their own bosses went to play together, not only did they not make them restrained, but the atmosphere was more harmonious.

Known for its large elephant population, Chobe National Park is located in a swampy delta and is accessible by small plane.

The tent hotel where he stayed, the appearance was indeed a tent, full of the nostalgic adventure style of the 40s of the 20th century, and Fang Songqi glimpsed the shadow of some scenes in the movie "Into Africa".

The tent is comparable to a high-end hotel, with toilets, outdoor pools, and outdoor showers.

Amanda had a bad stomach and vomited and diarrhea yesterday, and was absent from today's trip, so Fang Songqi was left alone, and lived in a tent alone, which made her exclusive, except for her, only Hua Ge can have such treatment.

After a hearty lunch, the group headed out to the nearby bushes and grasses with a local guide.

The park is famous for its elephant herd, but there is more than just elephants, giraffes, mongooses, wild boars, zebras, etc., as if the animal world is suddenly brought to life through the TV screen.

Before cruising in a canoe, the guide repeatedly told me not to put my hands and arms outside the canoe to avoid being attacked by crocodiles.

During this period, a little accident happened: Fang Songqi almost fell into the water, but fortunately, Brother Hua was close to her and dragged her in time, and she only lost the camera in the end.

Even so, it was enough to frighten her, because in less than two seconds, the crocodiles that were originally lying quietly all moved.

Also because of this accident, considering the safety of the big guys, the canoe river safari ended early.

After returning to the hotel, Fang Songqi had palpitations and kept recalling the situation at that time.

Because she was so focused on the scenery, she really didn't pay much attention to why she almost fell into the water, vaguely looking like someone accidentally bumped into her ......?

Not so sure.

The canoe was really a little crowded......

After a short rest, Fang Songqi went out to participate in the evening BBQ.

In the past few days when she came to Africa, she only selected two or three pictures in the afternoon and sent them to the circle of friends, that is, when she remembered the movie "Out of Africa" during the day, she took a few photos to share, but there was no text.

Now that she is swiping the circle of friends, she sees that Shen Ye has left a message - "It has the flavor of several scenes in "Into Africa". ”

Fang Songqi stopped in this sentence that matched her mind for a long time.

In fact, she prefers to think that the person who left the message is Yuejian, not Shen Ye.

She broke up with Shen Ye, but she and Yuejian are still friends.

"Xiao Fang, don't you want to eat some?" Ren Jiahua walked over, brought a plate of skewers in his hand and handed it to her.

Fang Songqi didn't have much appetite at this time, and still picked up a string to give him face: "Thank you, Brother Hua." ”

Ren Jiahua put the plate on the small table between the two of them, and immediately sat down beside her, and cared: "What's the matter?

"It's fine. Nothing is going on anymore. Fang Songqi shook his head.

"I'm still scared of you. Ren Jiahuaman's deputy eldest brother cared about the image of the little sister, "If something really happens to you, how can I explain it to Lin Zi? ”

Rain on someone's parade...... Mention the old dog again...... Fang Songqi smiled politely: "If I really have an accident, it's my own bad luck, where does Brother Hua need to explain something? Boss Lin has something to explain to Brother Hua?"

Ren Jiahua was puzzled: "I really don't understand the relationship between you and Lin Zi." ”

Fang Songqi took a bite of meat easily: "Boss Lin is my former boss, just this kind of relationship." ”

"Well, the boss brought his female employee back to meet the old father. Ren Jiahua quipped.

Fang Songqi didn't think it was enough to chew and give an explanation: "The female employee just happened to accompany the boss to Hong Kong to run errands, and accidentally bumped into the boss's old father, and was misunderstood about the relationship~"

Seeing that she didn't eat oil and salt, Ren Jiahua didn't continue to talk about Lin Shinian, after all, it was inconvenient for him to meddle too much in other people's emotional and private affairs.

He wanted to get some wine to drink, and when he got up, he asked, "Do you want water?"

"No, thank you Brother Hua, I have. Fang Songqi gestured to a travel water cup that she had placed at her feet and was overlooked.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted in fright: "Ahhh

Fang Songqi turned his head along the way, and saw that the female employee of Non-China Media who was shouting would be in her direction.

She was stunned for a moment, and reflexively wanted to look around.

was stopped by Brother Hua: "Don't move." ”

Fang Songqi paused, and his mind slowly appeared in the correct reaction when he encountered a snake in the wild.

The two closest security personnel to them were experienced and immediately dealt with.

Fang Songqi was so stiff that he didn't even dare to turn his neck at will because of Brother Hua's words, so he couldn't see how they solved the problem at all.

All I could see was the worried and scared expressions of other colleagues who stayed on the grill and didn't mess with it without permission.

After a while, but listening to Brother Hua's "Okay", everyone's tension was relieved.

One of the security guards walked back and reported to Ren Jiahua in English about the snake's strength.

Fang Songqi frowned from the audience.

"Xiao Fang, are you scared?" Brother Hua asked.

Fang Songqi shook his head. Because she didn't even see the shadow of the snake from beginning to end, she didn't feel much, and it was even a little inexplicable.

"Go, go over there, don't stay here," Ren beckoned, "The hotel manager has been informed that it's their responsibility." ”

"Thank you, Brother Hua. Fang Songqi really didn't dare to stay any longer.

The other onlookers gathered around her to care for her, and described to her how close they saw the snake to her and how terrible it looked.

Fang Songqi looked back at the dark forest behind him, thinking that she had almost filled the crocodile's stomach in the afternoon, and then her back was faintly cold.

This incident inevitably swept everyone's interest, ended the BBQ in advance, went to rest and prepared for tomorrow's trip.

Before Fang Songqi returned to his tent, he noticed that the two security guards didn't know what to say to Brother Hua, and Brother Hua glanced at her with a rather solemn expression.

What's the matter? This made her heart can't help but get a stone, is she a physique favored by the plague god......?

After washing up, she took her medicine and was about to go to bed early, when a call came in her phone.

Seeing that the screen showed Lin Shinian, Fang Songqi picked it up with interest: "Are you okay?"

After all, it was the first time he contacted her since he hadn't met at the airport that day.

"I heard that you provoked both crocodiles and poisonous snakes today?"

knew that Brother Hua would exchange news with Lin Shinian. Fang Songqi was not surprised at all, but she didn't speak in front of Brother Hua at this time, so she spoke with less scruples: "Brother Hua's mouth is not sewn, it is a big horn." ”

Poke the old dog than there, the old dog is more ridiculed than this is ridicule or ridicule?

Why did she give him a free laugh?—— "If you have nothing else to do, just save this expensive phone bill, I'm going to rest." ”

"Can you sleep?"

"Why can't you sleep?" Fang Songqi felt that he asked strangely.

"Well, I underestimated your guts. Lin Shinian seemed to smile and be helpless.

"Hey," Fang Songqi contemptuously, "I've also traveled north and south." ”

Lin Shinian shaved off his helplessness, and seemed to laugh and mock: "That's just an experience." ”

OK, maybe it's nothing, and it's not his turn to look down on it. Fang Songqi sneered: "Do you think that I am too scared to sleep, so I specially called, expecting me to cry and cry for comfort?"

"Not really. If you cry and cry for comfort from me, Shen Ye is too useless. Lin Shinian mocked.
