Lin Zhaoheng's family arrived in the provincial capital on the evening of the 14th day of the first lunar month, and the province held a grand welcome banquet for them at the highest-standard foreign affairs hotel.

After the banquet, there was a joint theatrical performance by the provincial art troupe and the television station, and it is said that the acrobatic troupe was invited to perform their pre-Red Revolution repertoire "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", just to entertain Lin Zhaoheng's nine-year-old grandson and three-year-old granddaughter.

Shen Guodong was busy until midnight before coming back, and quietly went to see Zhou Wanwan, thinking that she had already fallen asleep, but unexpectedly, as soon as she tucked the corner of the quilt, her hand was covered by a soft little hand, "Brother Shen, is it going well today?" ”

Sleepy and confused, still thinking about him.

Shen Guodong squatted on the side of the bed and touched her head, "Smooth, many activities will be canceled tomorrow, you don't have to get up early, I'll accompany you to have breakfast before leaving, sleep well." ”

"That's not going well, is it not entertaining anyone? Adult or child? Lin Zhaoheng is definitely no problem. The night was as cold as water, even if the heating in the house was sufficient, Zhou Wanwan still felt that Shen Guodong, who was wearing thin pajamas, would be cold, so he lifted a little quilt and pulled him up to talk.

Shen Guodong felt sorry for her that she couldn't sleep well, but he really couldn't resist the temptation of the warm quilt and the little girl's intimate care, so he still lay down and hugged her and gently told her about today's events.

“…… Lin Zhaoheng's daughter-in-law and niece refused to move their chopsticks, and in the end they had no choice but to ask the chef to make steak and vegetable soup for them in the youth restaurant......

…… As soon as the second show began, except for Lin Zhaoheng, everyone else left the table and went back to the hotel, saying that they were tired. The prepared "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" has not been performed, and Mr. Yu Zhenshan has not performed for many years, so it is easy to invite him out of the mountain. also brought a six-year-old grandson, and it was the last time for the grandchildren to be on the same stage, but unfortunately it didn't work......

The visits arranged for tomorrow have been cancelled, Lin Zhaoheng went to the provincial government for a meeting, and his family provided a car and driver, so he could go freely at their request! Anyway, when his mind is fulfilled, Lin Zhaoheng also knows what the situation is in the mainland. Eating and playing can't be compared with the outside at all, and bad hospitality won't affect his investment intentions, don't worry. ”

"Have you communicated today's arrangements with the people over there?" It must have been communicated. Although the mainland is inexperienced in receiving foreign guests, it will not make such a low-level mistake. Since there is no problem over there, they have to maintain basic respect and politeness, if they don't even care about it. That's their impudence. We don't have to blame ourselves too much.

Shen Guodong understood what Zhou Wanwan meant, kissed her forehead, patted her on the back and let her sleep peacefully, "Lin Zhaoheng is not stupid, the mainland's investment policy for him has not caught up, he will definitely not be unable to get along with money, we also have a mutually beneficial relationship with him, even if the reception is not successful, it will not affect anything." Go to sleep. ”

Zhou Wanwan nodded and quickly fell asleep with peace of mind. Shen Guodong saw that she was asleep. When I went back to my room to read the information, the light was on until the early hours of the morning.

The next day, Zhou Wanwan thought about it, and went to see the reception process of Lin Zhaoheng's family as a guest at home, and then went to see the set recipes and prepared things, which were already set by the Foreign Affairs Office, she didn't plan to interfere, but with last night's incident, she still wanted to do something for Shen Guodong.

Zhou Wanwan went to Zhou Chen with the information he asked for from Uncle Zhang, and the two of them studied at home for most of the day, and the chef of the Shen family's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was replaced by Zhou Chen in the evening.

Shen Guodong had a one-day meeting with Lin Zhaoheng, and in the evening, the people from the Foreign Affairs Office wanted to invite him to entertain Lin Zhaoheng's family to enjoy the night view of the provincial capital, watch ice lanterns and play dragon lanterns, but he directly refused.

If he even has to play with him, why do he need so many people? He pulled the banner alone and called the provincial government!

In fact, the people who received it were really not slacking off at work, but they were really frightened by the pickiness of the Lin family. Shen Guodong has always been tough and has ideas, they just want to find someone to suppress the field.

It's a pity that Shen Guodong has no intention of making that Taishan stone. He didn't bother to take care of anything other than the Lin family's investment, and he had to go home for the reunion festival!

In fact, this year's Lantern Festival is not on the family members, Dunzi has a task in the field, Grandpa Shen is either at the grassroots level or a tea party or a group meeting every festival, anyway, he is always busier than usual. There are only Zhou Chen and the two of them at home, and it is precisely because there are few people that he must go back, otherwise the little girl will feel that the festival is even more boring.

As soon as Shen Guodong walked into the courtyard, he felt that the house was a little different today, the two lights on both sides of the gate were turned off, and two red lanterns were replaced, not ordinary red lanterns, but with delicate patterns and long flowing tassels, which lined the black cast iron gate and red brick wall more simple and heavy.

There are no lights in the yard, but a lot of delicate and small lanterns are hung on the trees and in the corners, each shape is very exquisite, or painted with freehand beauty, or a few free and easy cursive calligraphy, all of which are very suitable for the environment, lined with a round of bright moon in the sky, the whole small courtyard is quiet and elegant and full of ancient charm.

Shen Guodong walked a few steps, only to notice that there was a faint sound of the guqin, which made people settle down like flowing water, and could calm down and carefully appreciate the strange stones under the lamp, the green bamboo covered with snow, the plum with a dark fragrance in the corner of the wall, and the quaint wind chimes on the branches.

Zhou Wanwan walked over slowly with a palace lamp and gently bowed to Shen Guodong, "Guest, please." ”

Shen Guodong didn't know what this little girl was doing, so he cooperated with her very much, smiled and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please.

Zhou Wanwan carried a lantern to lead the way in front and reminded him softly, "Guests look below, there are a few marquee lanterns that draw the Havoc Heavenly Palace and Tom, Jerry, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, if the guests are interested, you can guess the lantern riddle above, and if you guess the lamp correctly, you will be rewarded!" It's the same with the lights above, each with a riddle. ”

Shen Guodong immediately understood, it turned out that this was preparing for the reception of the Lin family tomorrow.

This must be the attention of the little girl, Uncle Zhang in the family only prepared a table of good dishes and footballs, small pistols and dolls, how can there be so many quirky tricks of the little girl.

Dinner is also different from the past, taking the way of serving Western food, but it is Chinese food, but the cards are particularly exquisite, each dish is placed in a shallow plate, only a small portion, but the decoration of flowers and vegetables accounts for most of it, very exquisite, and the taste is also very good.

Zhou Chen and Shen Guodong ate a meal prepared for adults, and Zhou Wanwan came up with a children's meal on the plate, with colorful and novel shapes, which can arouse children's curiosity and appetite just by looking at it. And there is a small story related to the Lantern Festival, and I am not afraid of having nothing to say to children.

After dinner, I went to set off fireworks, all of which were very safe fireworks sticks and naughty fireworks put up by children, and the three older children had a lot of fun.

When I came back, there was fragrant tea, and the tea set was not the one they usually used, but it was so complicated that it was dazzling, "Take it out and pretend to scare people, aren't the Lin family picky, let's just make them dizzy, so that they are afraid to show their cowardice if they want to find faults!" ”

Zhou Chen explained to Shen Guodong with a smile, his face was full of scenery and elegance, and he couldn't see that he was digging a hole for people at all.

Shen Guodong watched Zhou Wanwan's pair of crystal clear slender hands elegantly shuttling between the tea set and the dense water vapor, and suddenly felt that he was very thirsty, but a small cup of hot tea went down, and the thirst in his mouth was not quenched, but the heat in his heart continued.

After boiling until Zhou Chen went home after drinking tea, Shen Guodong resolutely crossed out the item of drinking tea from the reception plan.

Joke! Can anyone drink the tea that their little girl makes?! You can't just look at it!

Shen Guodong was absentmindedly listening to Uncle Zhang's arrangements for receiving guests tomorrow, and was thinking about how to take the little girl upstairs to kiss and hug her, when the call from the Foreign Affairs Office of the Provincial Party Committee called urgently.

Lin Zhaoheng's grandson is missing.

It's been missing for an hour, and the nanny and the niece of the Lin family who were in charge of taking care of him didn't tell everyone at first, but they were looking for it nearby, but they couldn't find it later, so they notified everyone. The best time to look for has been missed.

If the only grandson of the global financial tycoon disappeared on the mainland, if he cannot be found, it will be devastating to the country's image, and the future of all those involved will be ruined. The gravity of this matter is unimaginable.

Shen Guodong made a few phone calls urgently, if this incident was premeditated, then an hour was enough time to transport the child out of the provincial capital or hide it, or, now, kill people.

And there are so many security guards in the open and in the dark, and if you let such a conspicuous child lose it in front of everyone, then this matter is not so simple. It's almost certainly an internal response.

Shen Guodong talked on the telephone with the leaders of the Provincial Public Security Department, communicated with the local garrison and the provincial military district, blocked all the roads out of the entire provincial capital, and radiated to all nearby roads and railways.

The city was tightly deployed, fearing that the kidnappers and dogs would jump off the wall in a hurry, and the outside was loose and the inside was tight, and the entire provincial capital entered a state of emergency.

After the simple deployment, Shen Guodong grabbed the car keys and wanted to go to the scene, Zhou Wanwan had already put on his coat and took Xiao Wang to wait for him at the door, "Brother Shen, you know, Xiao Wang is the best at finding someone, I know Xiao Wang best, you take the two of us, maybe it will be more effective than bringing a troop to go." ”

Shen Guodong saw the determination in her eyes, and before he could think of anything to object, Zhou Wanwan had already pulled his sleeve, "Brother Shen, let me go!" I want to help you! I have to help you at this time! ”

Shen Guodong touched Zhou Wanwan's head, kissed her on the forehead, and ran back to call Zhou Chen, "Go to the South Street of Central Street, I'll send someone to pick you up!" "The whole central street is under martial law, and no one can come and go casually.

Zhou Wanwan is right, finding someone in a troop is not as good as Xiao Wang, to mobilize Xiao Wang, no one is better at it than her, but at this time, Shen Guodong can't guarantee that he can take care of her all the time, and he can only really rest assured if he hands her over to Zhou Chen.

After checking Zhou Wanwan's coat and scarf, Shen Guodong waved at Xiao Wang, "Let's go!" The group quickly got into the car and galloped through the brightly lit and peaceful street on the surface, but in fact the undercurrent was turbulent, towards the already panicked central street.
