The morning air is fresh and humid, and I always feel that there is a sweet aroma softening in the tidal air, giving people a refreshing and comfortable feeling.

Thanks to the benefits of the ocean and the Yihe River, the small town of Laizhou has a humid climate, known as the north of the Yangtze River, surrounded by the Yishan Mountains on three sides, and the Yishui River passing through the city on one side, and the vast flat land adjacent to the water, which has built this mountain city.

Liu Lai, the king of Yiling in the Han Dynasty, came here on a safari and took a fancy to this basin where mountains and rivers depend, so he asked the Han Emperor to divide this place to himself, and built the Yiling Palace. It also makes this natural and somewhat primitive place have a real history of its own. What is the scale of the Yiling Palace, the pomp and circumstance is almost impossible to test, but the ensuing establishment of the state began in the Han Dynasty and has continued to this day, and the small area has always been the regulation of the state capital. It seems that the historical evolution is not only the identity and status of King Yiling, but the city built along Yishui, which not only benefits from Yishui, but also chokes the gateway of Yishan, and has important strategic and economic significance as a fortress.

Today's Laizhou City is no longer the grand occasion of the past, but after years of construction and development, a modern industrial city has been formed. It is not only an important industrial base in the southwest of Hohai Province, but also in the field of equipment manufacturing, it has several heavyweight military enterprises of Laizhou Heavy Industry and Laiji Group, making full use of the surrounding natural and steel resources to develop itself, and also contribute great wealth to the economy of Hohai Province.

With the development of industry, the city quickly gathered workers and technicians from all over the world, building the city and building its own home. A variety of complete supporting facilities have also been established, making this small mountain town have an extraordinary prosperity and scale.

The two heavyweight military industrial enterprises occupy two urban districts at the east and west ends of Laizhou City, becoming two relatively independent urban districts, and the scale and mode of construction during the period of enterprise running society make the two areas have their own education, medical care, sports, and entertainment venues, and have production and living facilities that match the production of enterprises. Although with the transformation of military to civilian and the stripping of socialization functions of enterprises, the development and construction of enterprises themselves have not completely gotten rid of the original model, and the relationship between employees and enterprises still continues the habits and ways of the past.

The original Laizhou urban area has been turned into a supporting service area, or a purely administrative area, which in a sense maintains the natural features and characteristics of the city. Parks, green spaces, squares and leisure places are all over the city, integrated with modern high-rise buildings, and well solve the contradictions formed by the concentration of many urban production and life, as well as the bottleneck problems in the process of urban modernization. It has become an important place for leisure, entertainment and consumption of citizens and enterprise employees, forming another form of harmonious scene.

Laizhou Hotel is built next to the park, it can also be said that the park is built next to the hotel, the area is very large among the green trees, there are artificial lakes and criss-crossing forest paths and pavilions, hidden in the huge green, and the hotel is built in the middle of the nature surrounded by green, the courtyard-style Chinese buildings surround together, forming a relatively closed space, three floors of height, white walls and red tiles, and the surrounding green organic integration, it is difficult to find this hotel without looking carefully.

The hotel is separated from the park by an iron fence, but it is only a formal partition, and it is easy to enter the park from the hotel, and there are several invisible small doors to pass through when you walk out of the hotel.

Qi Tianxiang walked into the park through the small door of the hotel, rested very well last night, woke up as soon as the day was bright, got up and washed up briefly, walked out of the hotel, and walked into the park along the pebble path.

The park is very quiet in the morning, except for a few old people who exercise in the morning, there are almost no people, the wet air, and the moist flowers and plants, quietly pass the fragrance and the natural breath of the field to Qi Tianxiang, so that he can enjoy the sprouts of new greenery in the park, as well as the shyness and beauty of the early flowers.

The park is very large, Qi Tianxiang first walked along the forest path, and then walked to the artificial lake, walked around the lake for a while, walked to a slightly higher pavilion, slowly sat down, took out a cigarette to light it, smoked slowly, eyes instead of feet, browsing the surrounding scenery.

It should be said that the construction idea of the hotel is still very ingenious, the construction of the park must be ahead of the hotel, the government hotel built according to the park, not only can effectively use the public resources of the park to create the external environment of the hotel, but also can minimize the investment in hotel greening and landscaping, and concentrate the funds on the construction of the hardware facilities of the hotel, so as to make silent use of public resources, so that the park has become the back garden of the hotel, which does not affect the leisure function of the park, but also meets the needs of the hotel guests. It's the best of both worlds.

These clever things should come from Xiao Shengli's handwriting, although these are unconfirmed speculations, Qi Tianxiang is still willing to believe the truth of this speculation. I knew this Xiao Shengli before, because he was the secretary of Jiang Hao, the secretary of the provincial party committee, in the provincial government, and the friendship between the two families of Yan Jiang for many years made Qi Tianxiang often go to Jiang Hao's house to greet him when he came to Hehai, and every time he went back, he would see Xiao Shengli's face, as if he had never left Jiang Hao's house, every time they met, they could see him busy with this and that, more than the waiter at home. Although there was not much communication, the impression was average.

Xiao Shengli is the kind of person who is very good at things, polite to everyone, polite and thoughtful to everyone, but in these politeness and politeness, there is a vague slickness and sophistication, which always makes people feel less real. But Qi Tianxiang's feeling of Xiao's victory has never changed.

Qi Tianxiang was also a little strange, how could he think of Xiao Shengli at this time, and he would think of Xiao Shengli from the layout and construction of the hotel, maybe it was the conversation with Zhou Tong last night, or maybe it was the opportunistic tricks of the hotel that thought of these. In short, there is no clear answer, and there is no need to seriously investigate the causes of these things.

After smoking, his physical strength has recovered a little, and the time to look at his watch is about the same, Qi Tianxiang slowly stood up, still walking back slowly along the same path. Appearing here at this time is equivalent to adding a problem to Xiao Wang's safety and security, after all, this is a park, Xiao Wang still doesn't dare to take it lightly, and can only follow from a distance, neither too far nor too close. In early spring, the climate is still a little humid and cool, and it is still not very comfortable to be sheltered in the bushes.

Qi Tianxiang is reluctant to cause too much trouble to others, whether it is a colleague or the staff around him, this is his character and his temperament.
