Chapter 121: The History of Water City

Looking at Chen Dong, Zhang Ying still didn't ask, but said:

"You kid, you won't see people in the last semester, what's the situation, where did you run chic, this is experiencing life"?

"Alas, what kind of life is experienced, it's hard to say, hey, why did you come to Watertown and work"?

Chen Dong and Zhang Ying came to a bear hug and greeted each other warmly, for what Zhang Ying just said, Chen Dong also brought it over at once, obviously unwilling to mention it, Zhang Ying also didn't ask again!

"No, a friend came over to do something, and I came over to play."

Zhang Ying said that he didn't want his classmates to know too many things on the other hand, after all, everyone is an ordinary person, so it's better to know a lot of things!

"Oh, I thought you kid was going to work in Watertown."

Chen Dong said!

"No, how can we find a job so quickly, and we are not famous college students"?

Zhang Ying said!

"By the way, how are you kid doing?"

"Hey, it's normal, make do with it, don't talk about it, such a shadow, let's have a drink at night, I haven't seen you for so long, I miss you"?

Chen Dong said!

"Uh, it may not work today, I have something to do, my friend is waiting, I made an appointment in advance, or we will do it tomorrow"?

In fact, Zhang Ying really wanted to have a drink with Chen Dong, although he didn't ask, but from Chen Dong's expression and face, Zhang Ying knew that Chen Dong was bitter and wanted to find someone to talk to!

But now he is in a hurry to go to Li Lei's appointment, so he can only refuse Chen Dong!

"Uh, that's okay, by the way, you said you made an appointment with a friend, where, I'll send you"?

Chen Dong said!

"Okay, it's the first one in Water City, I'm thinking about how to get there?"

Zhang Ying said!

"The first one in Water City, amazing, the shadow is the best hotel in Water City, you kid can do it now"?

When Chen Dong heard Zhang Ying say that the first one in Shuicheng, his eyes lit up, it was the best hotel in Shuicheng, although he had been there before, but since his family fell into the middle of the road and his father went bankrupt, he has never been there!

For the former rich second generation, Chen Dong is very clear, the per capita consumption of the first family in Shuicheng is more than 200, where is Zhang Ying's friend's treat, which shows that Zhang Ying is mixing well now, just graduated and mixed so well for a long time, Chen Dong's eyes are full of admiration, or it is better to study!

"Hey, no, I just met a friend by chance, I haven't been there, and I don't know what's good or not"!

Zhang Ying said!

"Come, the shadow comes up, I'll send you there"

Chen Dong was not verbose, rode on the motorcycle, and shouted at Zhang Ying!

Zhang Ying got into the car, Chen Dong lit a fire, and disappeared on the crowded road as soon as the smoke slipped away!

After a while, the car stopped at the gate of the first place in Water City, Zhang Ying has not been to the first place in Water City once in three years in Water City, at this time looking at the hotel in front of him, Zhang Ying is also a little shocked!

Antique building, huge main gate, two red lacquer doors open outward, a pair of stone lions guarding the door in front of the door, two dragons are engraved on the top of the gate, a stone bead in the middle, a typical two dragons playing with pearls, the gate is a wall to welcome the door!

The wall tiles are pasted with a picture of mountains and flowing water, and a row of bamboos is planted at the root of the wall in front of the front wall, and below is a pool that keeps flowing, and the seven goldfish in the pool are swimming leisurely!

Directly above the gate, there is a plaque "the first in the water city" five big characters were golden, by the gate's spotlight, shining, the whole building is magnificent, tall and magnificent!

Chen Dong knew that Zhang Ying had made an appointment with a friend here, and after Zhang Ying got out of the car, Chen Dong found a reason to leave, the better it would be before leaving Zhang Ying will have dinner together at noon tomorrow!

Zhang Ying looked at his phone, half past five, there is still more than an hour, what are you doing?

Zhang Ying looked at the gate of the first house in Shuicheng, turned his head to look at the opposite side, and the whole person was stunned at this time!

Facing the first one in the water city is the famous ancient building "Guangyue Tower" in the water city, this city tower has a long history, there are too many stories and legends, Zhang Ying is no stranger to this drum tower, although there is no opportunity to come during school, but for this building, Zhang Ying has done a lot of understanding!
