144. It's hard to sleep when you think about it
"So, if you're okay, I'll hang up, now don't delay me asking my boyfriend for comfort. It's three or four o'clock in the morning, right? I won't delay your sleep, and I'll discuss important matters with you when I return home. As he said, Fang Songqi immediately cut off the call.
After cutting off the call, she found that Shen Ye had really sent her a message not long ago, just like Lao Goubi, asking her about her two accidents today.
It seems that there are also people in the newspaper office who don't have a slit in their mouths. Fang Songqi pursed his lips, pondered for two seconds, and simply looked back: "I'm fine." Thank you for your concern. ”
She didn't sleep well that night.
But it's not because I'm disturbed by two accidents, it's because ......
The biggest selling point of the tent hotel is that it is quaint, primitive and close to nature.
One of the manifestations of the closeness to nature is that there will be large animals at night, such as when the wild elephant comes to eat the leaves outside her tent, she immediately wakes up from the sleep, because the tent house is shaking the whole thing, if she has not been told in advance that it is caused by the huge body of the wild elephant touching the tent house, she does not need to panic, she can probably think that there is an earthquake.
The situation of other colleagues is similar to that of Fang Songqi, who spends half nervous and half excited. The next morning, the topic of discussion at the dinner table was which animals were heard at night, and all kinds of wild predators such as coyotes, wild dogs, and lions accounted for everything.
In the next two days, she seemed to have become a little sister who didn't let her family worry about it, and she was always carried by Brother Hua, plus two security brothers were dispatched to follow her.
The eyes of her colleagues inevitably became strange, and Fang Songqi could fully predict that his relationship with Brother Hua would become the gossip of their tongues.
Considering her reputation, Brother Hua revealed his intention to dig into the wall.
As for how much everyone believes, there is no way to know.
Fortunately, Fang Songqi's heart has always been relatively big about this kind of thing, so let others guess how they like.
…………
Brother Hua's obvious protection of her spread to the United States, Feng Songren's ward.
“…… You'll have to stop for the time being and look for another opportunity. In recent days, they cannot be acted upon rashly and their vigilance cannot be dispelled. Uncle He reported on his handling of the matter.
Feng Songren has no opinion, what he cares about is the relationship between Ren Jiahua and Fang Songqi: "What is the situation of Chairman Ren? What does he have a personal relationship with Xiao Fang?"
Ren Jiahua is not a small person, so Uncle He can't do anything about this, and on the surface, the biggest possibility is: "Miss Fang may be too recruiting, and Chairman Ren is also interested in her." ”
Hidden under the desire to poach people from DK, they have heard a little about Ren Jiahua's private life, although they are married, but they are only married, and the paparazzi of the Hong Kong media have always dared to write more lace news than mainland reporters.
After a short period of muttering, Feng Songren looked impatient: "Don't grind and rub on the extraneous branches, if the natural disaster can't be solved, you will create a man-made disaster, and the solution will be over!"
…………
As long as you open the door every day, the sunshine will come naturally, everyone will welcome the sunrise in the morning, send away the sunset in the evening, and deeply experience the quiet years of the original natural scenery.
The two bull elephants with their noses fighting, the buffalo grazing quietly by the riverside, the eagle soaring with their wings, the red-billed hornbill feeding the birds, and the spoon-billed stork that has just caught the small fish, are permanently fixed in the camera and become everyone's memory of Africa's rich wildlife resources.
Of course, they only seem to coexist in harmony in this vast land, and nature does not hesitate to show its cruel side of the jungle -
At that time, a sea eagle was caught in a fishing net in order to catch a fish, but the claws were entangled in the fishing net, and it could not break free, and it wailed bitterly.
The tour guide told everyone that this exhausted sea eagle would not survive tonight, because the crocodiles, coyotes, wild dogs, etc. in the vicinity were all waiting for dark.
In the face of crocodiles, even if everyone wants to make a sea eagle, there is nothing they can do. At the same time, for personal safety, I didn't look much and left in a hurry. The next day, when they passed the same position again, there was nothing left, and they couldn't help but be surprised.
On the last day, the group left the beautiful Chobe Park in a small plane amid the sunset and flying birds.
Tired of returning to the camp of the African Media Group, Fong Songqi greeted Amanda with her condition.
Although Amanda is still in good spirits, the doctor has diagnosed no major problems.
Doctors do not refer to local doctors in Africa. Medical and health care is the weakness of all African countries, and Botswana is no exception, with low levels of medical staff and relying on medical teams aided by China. Working in Africa and building a good relationship with the medical team has become one of the essential requirements for Chinese companies.
There is a special clinic in Africa, and the doctors in the clinic are left after the medical team members who originally aided the doctor left after passing the examination and obtaining the doctor's license after the expiration of the assignment period. This is not uncommon, but some people choose to open their own clinics to practice medicine, and some people choose to be hired privately in hospitals.
Amanda sighed: "When I go abroad, I am still the kindest of my compatriots." ”
Fang Songqi listened to her praise the doctor who treated her a few words, washed hastily, and quickly went to make up for sleep.
On the other side, Brother Hua and Lin Shinian were talking on the phone.
"You were brought back to camp safely, without any accidents. It may have been that we overthought it that day. ”
The reason for wanting to do so was that the security guards told him that the reason for the poisonous snake was that there was a dead rat nearby, and the smell of blood was tempting.
It's weird.
The tent hotel in Chobe Park has been in operation for more than a year or two, and it has always been safe, and it has never threatened the lives of guests within the hotel limits, otherwise there are so many animals, and there are dangers everywhere, who would dare to stay in it at night? This time, he made such a low-level mistake......
Although the hotel staff apologized, they were unable to find out the specific cause of the accident.
So later, he and Lin Shinian discussed the possibility that it might be artificial.
Brother Hua immediately added: "It is also possible that you have protected the small party too tightly in our state, and the other party has no way to start, so he has to stop fighting." ”
After taking two sips of water, Brother Hua's words changed again: "I talked to Xiao Fang vaguely, and she didn't seem to offend anyone to the point of killing her." ”
First, I was afraid of scaring her, and secondly, I was not sure of anything at present, so Lin Shinian did not let Brother Hua reveal their private speculation.
As for who to offend, Lin Shinian thought of only the Feng family for Fang Songqi.
Indeed, as Brother Hua said, what kind of motive does it have to be to ask for Fang Songqi's life?
And when he and Fang Songqi discussed Feng Songren's condition, they also agreed that there was no need for the Feng family to make a fuss about breaking her up and Shen Ye.
Maybe it's not the Feng family who wants to clean up Fang Songqi?
Maybe she almost fell into the water to feed the crocodile and was almost bitten by a poisonous snake, but it was really her bad luck, pure accident?
In any case, until she returns home, there must be more security.
"I still have to ask you, Duobang is busy watching her. "Lin Shinian is sincere.
…………
When he opened his eyes, the sun was warm again, and Fang Songqi stretched his waist to meet the tenth day of his business trip to Africa.
In five days, I will be able to return home.
Realizing that she subconsciously used the word "can", she reacted, even if she was happy to eat, drink and have fun here, she couldn't keep her footsteps, and when it was time to leave, she would not be nostalgic.
While brushing her teeth, she looked back on the past journey, and it seemed that there was no place that made her have the idea of staying for the rest of her life...... at most: this place is so beautiful, I haven't finished exploring, and I will definitely find a chance to come again in the future~!
Brother Hua clearly said that he had not arranged to come to Bots during this time, but today Brother Hua still personally received the directors from the Guangdong Overseas Exchange Association.
Fang Songqi and his group followed several executives from Feihua.
Headquartered in Botswana, with branches in South Africa, Zambia, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Nigeria and other places, the number of Chinese newspapers and periodicals distributed by it has an audience of nearly 2 million so far.
In addition to publishing Chinese-language newspapers and periodicals, the cooperation between non-Chinese media and local media is also very harmonious, and they have jointly launched several online media and television stations, such as the radio broadcast that Xiao Sun specially FM in the car on the first day of his arrival.
On a small level, this has provided convenience for the Chinese and overseas Chinese in Africa, both culturally and economically and trade, and on a large level, mainstream African countries have more opportunities to understand the real situation in China and promote friendly exchanges between the Chinese and African peoples.
The number of domestic media that intend to cooperate with Africa & China is increasing day by day, and it is not an exaggeration to praise Africa & Huawei's current sweetness. As a result, I have to be proud that DK's Liucheng Daily is the first domestic media to get a cooperation.
They were accompanied by an overseas Chinese delegation from Botswana, who left the Chinese Embassy in Botswana and visited the Confucius Institute at the University of Botswana.
Doctors and teachers are two of the most respected professions in the region.
Two days later, the group of people who sent off the Guangdong Overseas Exchange Association, Fang Songqi and they also entered the countdown to the last three days before leaving.
In the last three days, the purpose of the big guys is basically the same, which is to buy, buy, buy, and buy things to bring back to China.
Fang Songqi has little hope in the shopping valley, and only wants to bring something like raw beef jerky as a snack, so the others get up early in the morning to go shopping, and she sleeps well until almost noon, and after completing the daily video call with Xu Jing, she slowly starts to pack her luggage.
If she travels normally, she must carry a lot of beautiful clothes, but this time it is very simple, all jackets and trousers, and a few T-shirts.
There is a big difference in temperature between morning and evening, but even if it is hot, she tries to wear long sleeves and pants whenever she is not in the apartment to prevent mosquito bites. Although Botswana is one of the continent's few-case countries in the continent and the health care work in the camps is excellent, it is not wrong to be cautious.
Brother Hua sent Xiao Sun to look for her.
Fang Songqi thought there was something important, but he just invited her to dinner.
"Tomorrow is a group practice banquet, I don't think I have time to invite you alone. Brother Hua's residence is also in the staff apartment area, except for the fact that he lives alone, there is no special treatment in other aspects, and the decoration and furniture are the same as everyone else, which seems to be specially designed to share weal and sorrow with employees.
Fang Songqi looked at the table full of authentic Chinese food, which greatly aroused the food grain. No matter how delicious the local flavor is, you will get tired of eating too much.
Brother Hua didn't take credit: "Ask Lin Zi to inquire about it, and say that you like to eat these dishes." Some ingredients are hard to find, so you can make do with them. ”
Beep - Automatically block old dogs than others. Fang Songqi picked up a dumpling and bit into it, tsk, rare cabbage, and the meat was also used at the tip of the buttocks.
"Where's the improvise? These dumplings alone are worth hundreds of dollars. Converted into RMB, you get thousands of dumplings, thousands of dumplings, Fang Songqi hurriedly chewed and swallowed slowly, "All I swallow in my stomach is gold!"
Brother Hua was amused by her.
Fang Songqi also poured himself wine and talked with him while drinking.
At first, it was mainly Brother Hua who was looking for a conversation and asked her how she felt about the investigation for more than ten days.
Seeing that he really wanted to understand, Fang Songqi was not afraid of making jokes, and as a small employee of DK, what to say. Among them, she said that she thought that the proportion of African employees in Africa could be appropriately increased, which aroused the interest of Hua Ge and further chatted with her.
Fang Songqi's idea is actually very simple, he feels that hiring more local staff can show China from a more objective perspective.
Brother Hua smiled: "Lin Zi also mentioned to me a few years ago, saying that I have too strict control over the proportion of African employees, and I can relax appropriately." ”
Fang Songqi can already accept that when facing Brother Hua, the name of the old dog is always less than that can not be mentioned.
She didn't answer.
It did not prevent Brother Hua from continuing: "Lin Zi's own company employs a lot of local employees. I didn't take his advice, and the main starting point was that I was working in the media, which was not quite the same as what he was involved in. However, some of the current situation has changed a lot since the previous years, so I will probably have to re-weigh it. ”
Fang Songqi felt that she was exhausted in her work skills, and she had nothing more to say, so she took the initiative to turn the page on serious topics and enter the real chat. The gossip was about eating and playing that she was interested in, and she mentioned her previous travels in other countries.
"At a young age, I've been to a lot of places. Brother Hua went to the wine cabinet to get a new bottle of wine, "If you haven't had enough fun in Africa, you will directly ask Lin Zi to bring you over again during the holidays." He has invested in many projects, which are available in several mainstream African countries, and you can choose at will. ”
Huh. Fang Songqi didn't smile, the effect of alcohol made her reveal her true face, and brushed Brother Hua's face: "Can you mention him without moving?"
Brother Hua walked back with the newly opened wine, not angry: "I know you because of Lin Zi, he is one of our common topics, it is difficult for me to mention him less." Brother Hua, I don't mean anything else, just how to say it. ”
Then he added very frankly: "It would be better if I could give him a sense of presence in front of you by the way." I'm his brother, I don't state him, who will state him?"
Fong Songqi remembers that when he was in a nursing home in Hong Kong, he talked about the character "Jia" in both of their names, and he once said that Lin Shinian was originally his younger brother (Chapter 085), and he finally sold Guan Zi, and her appetite has not been answered.
Rolling her eyes, she pretended to drink calmly: "Well, Boss Lin said that you and he are brothers~"
Out of trust in Lin Shinian, and her words were indeed smooth, Brother Hua thought that she was really clear and had no defense against her: "In the past, the family didn't plan to change his name, he took the initiative to mention it himself, and finally followed my 'Jia' generation, and after transferring to Uncle Lin's family, he will not change it twice." ”
"He seemed to have lost his former name even in front of us. So the first time you told me his name was 'Shi Nian' (Chapter 041), I was surprised. I had forgotten his old name a little bit, and he still used the surname 'Lin', so I looked back and pondered for a while before I remembered it. ”
Fang Songqi forced himself to remain calm and not to show his stuff, and his heart was tumbling because of the information obtained, quickly digesting and analyzing, and sorting out the clue: Lao Goubi is not Lin Yinan's own son?!
Is that so? She's thinking right?!
She just gave it a try, and it really got dry goods from Brother Hua's mouth!
Brother Hua's words continued: "Although I have teased you several times that you and Lin Zi are not close, in fact, since Lin Zi can tell you his previous name, it is enough to show that you are not an outsider." ”
Fang Songqi grabbed the wine glass in his hand to hide his lack of confidence, calmly drank again, and used this short time to use his brain to think about how to answer next.
A man flashed through his mind.
When she put down her glass, she smiled: "Where is it not an outsider? It's just that for some reason, he needs to share information with me at this stage, and I just learned about it." If it weren't for the fact that I knew about the existence of Mr. Sheng Mingying, he might not have revealed this to me until now. ”
"Sheng Mingying?" Brother Hua was obviously unfamiliar with this name, but according to the three words "old man", he quickly thought of something, and suddenly, "You mean Lin Zi's grandfather before? I don't know his old man, I only remember that Lin Zi's original surname was 'Sheng', and there was a grandfather in the family, and his grandfather and my grandfather and Uncle Lin were old acquaintances." ”
Do you want the information to come so suddenly and so violently? Fang Songqi almost didn't catch it.
Consistent with her previous conjecture, Lin Shinian really had a lot to do with Sheng Mingying, and Ji Zhongtang said at the time that he wanted to investigate, and the channel was Lin Shinian (Chapter 132). So the question now is, did he know Fang Jie when he was a child? Didn't he say that Fang Jie was a student sponsored by Sheng Mingying?
After a lot of effort, she pressed her inner emotions and spread a calm smile on her face: "Then I will also take back my ridicule of Brother Hua, I said before that you don't know much about Boss Lin." ”
"No, no, I really don't know much, these things when I was a child are thanks to the blessings of the elders, I know a little bit about it, Lin Zi himself rarely mentions his private affairs to me, otherwise I wouldn't know you on a yacht in Macau. Brother Hua's eyes were thick and meaningful, "You are the one who knows him best, right?"
Fang Songqi shrugged helplessly, noncommittal or not. The person who knows the old dog best is Xiao Jiu, not her.
Her mind turned again, and she tried to say more, after all, tonight was a rare opportunity. However, after all, she didn't know how to pretend to understand, and she really couldn't find a sew to support her to continue to ask. He didn't say that he didn't know Sheng Mingying?
OK, immediately decided to stop here, don't be greedy, otherwise he should really notice something abnormal if he is not careful. After all, he is also a good person, and she is purely lucky.
Fang Songqi moved on to other topics in due course.
When the banquet was dismissed, Brother Hua asked her if she confirmed that she would not shop.
Fang Songqi unscrewed the small vortex on his lips: "Isn't Botz the country of diamonds?I'm going to take a look tomorrow~"
The information shocked her to toss and turn that night, as if she had finally caught a corner of Lin Shinian's hidden secret, although it was still not cracked, but she couldn't control her excitement.
Excited to the end, she sent a message to Lin Shinian, just one simple word: "Hey~"
Lin Shinian seemed to be next to his phone, so he replied quickly: "Another nightmare?"
He was wrong this time. Fang Songqi was on a whim and deliberately teased him: "No." It's because you think that you can't sleep. ”
Thinking about "his business", rounding off for shortened as "thinking of him", she is in a good mood and doesn't mind being cheap and cheap him~!
Lin Shinian replied after a long while, but he didn't fall for her: "Are you nervous?"
Hey, it's boring, I knew that I would learn Xiao Jiu's tone and call him "Uncle Longlegs". Fang Songqi pursed his lips, lost interest, threw away his mobile phone, and ignored him.
The next day, in fact, there was no need for Fang Songqi to "plan" himself, and his colleagues who wanted to continue shopping today took the initiative to pull her along, and the reason was also frank: "Even if you don't buy anything, give us a few choices as counselors, and we will be immeasurably meritorious if we carry one or two shopping bags~"
Fang Songqi: "......" is straightforward enough, and you want to take her free labor......
I still have to go, because I have to pick up some souvenirs to give to other colleagues who have not come on a business trip.
And if she knew in advance that she would have an accident this time, she would definitely die and sleep on the bed in the apartment!
…………
At this time, Fang Songqi opened his eyes in pain in a coma.
It took three or four minutes for the blank mind to gradually come back to its thoughts.
She and her colleagues went shopping in the city, and after a while, they spread out because of their different goals. She and one of her colleagues were attracted to animal hides.
Handbags and bags in cowhide, sheepskin and various wildlife skins are a source of affection for Fong.
Hiss...... And then?
By the way, the neck! It was as if something had suddenly stung her neck, and she was completely unconscious.
Until now, she woke up, her cheeks pressed against the ground, and the unknown stench mixed with the smell of urine kept pouring into her nose.
Where is it ......?!
In an instant, Fang Songqi was anxious to get up.
It didn't work out because her hands and feet were tied and her mouth was sealed.
But there are clearly others next to it!
Unable to get up, she tried her best to spin her body in place, stretching her neck to look around.
The goal is dozens of women who are also trapped and gagged, yellow-skinned, white-skinned, and black-skinned, all of whom look embarrassed.
Some of them were lying on the ground like her, while others were sitting against the wall, their eyes full of light.
With a thump in his heart, Fang Songqi vaguely guessed about the current situation.
After a moment of panic, she gently touched the yellow-skinned woman closest to her with her foot.
After touching it three times in succession, the other party cast a dull gaze.
Fang Songqi couldn't find a way to communicate with the other party, so she squeezed her eyebrows, hoping that the other party could understand her questions.
Footsteps were heard outside.
