Zhijing Pavilion is located on the west side of the west embankment of Kunming Lake, commonly known as Tuancheng.
Therefore, this lake located on the southwest side of Kunming Lake is also called Tuancheng Lake.
The outer ring of Zhijing Pavilion is about 60 meters in diameter. It is a circular water fortress. Unfortunately, it was destroyed during the Cixi period, and now only a desolate island ruins remain.
Tuancheng Lake is the end point of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project and the main source of drinking water for Beijing.
Because too many people came here to swim wildly, in order to protect the water source, the government had to spend tens of millions to heighten and thicken the fence and prohibit tourists from entering, at the cost of destroying the scenery of the Summer Palace and depriving tourists of their enjoyment. The scenery of Tuancheng Lake is difficult to reproduce. ?
There are no private boats on Kunming Lake, so if you want to board the Zhijing Pavilion, you either have to sneak over the fence and swim there, or you have to wait for the lake to freeze in winter and walk on the ice.
This place has been closed for a long time and is really a bit desolate.
In addition, it was getting late and the trees on the island were densely covered with teeth and claws, blocking most of the moonlight, so it looked eerie and particularly scary.
Chen Xi hugged the little guy and gently stepped onto Zhijingge Island. What he saw was a large burnt tree. Its mottled shadow echoed the scarred city wall behind. Through the gaps between the tree roots, you can see See the shadow of Yuquan Mountain Pagoda in the distance.
This place was too remote and gloomy, so the little guy immediately became frightened, and could only shrink himself into Chen Xi's arms as much as possible, while his little hands hugged Chen Xi tightly, and his palms were even colder.
This also made Chen Xi frown slightly.
I thought Zhijing Pavilion was a good place, but after arriving, I discovered that it was just a desolate ruin.
It was not good to scare the child, so Chen Xi gently put his left hand on the little one's head, hugged her and prepared to leave.
But before leaving, Chen Xi suddenly raised his head and looked thoughtfully at the abandoned city wall that was more than ten meters high. Then he stepped onto the water again and slowly left.
Back to the hotel.
The little guy was a little unhappy, probably because he was frightened.
Even when Chen Xi said he would play games with her, she couldn't get excited.
Chen Xi had no choice but to hold her and sit on the bed, and then told her Andersen's fairy tales.
The story is not important, what is important is that dad is by your side.
So the little guy was wrapped in a soft quilt, lying in Chen Xi's arms, listening to him telling stories, and finally relaxed slowly, and then fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, it was still dark.
Maybe it was because she was frightened last night, so the little one seemed to be having a nightmare. Before she woke up, she waved her little hands randomly and murmured: "Daddy... Daddy..."
"Dad is here."
Chen Xi sat cross-legged next to her. After hearing her cry, he immediately looked at her situation, then put his hand on the little guy's forehead and said softly: "Dad is here, baby, don't be afraid, don't be afraid …”
Perhaps Chen Xi's comfort had an effect. The little guy hugged Chen Xi's wrist randomly, then changed his position and continued to fall asleep.
Chen Xi couldn't move around as she grabbed her wrist, so she could only maintain such an awkward posture and quietly look at the little guy's sleeping face.
His eyes were very soft, full of a kind of emotion called fatherly love.
……
Zhonghai.
Jincheng Villa.
In Ning Zhongguo's study.
Lao Hu sat on the sofa and waited quietly for Ning Zhongguo's reply.
He has been with Ning Zhongguo since he was eighteen years old, and it has been more than twenty years now.
And he, from the beginning as a dispensable warehouse manager, slowly climbed to the position of vice president of China Ocean Shipping Group.
Lao Hu’s education level is not high. He went out to work after dropping out of junior high school.
Without Ning Zhongguo's promotion, he would never have gotten to where he is today.
So in Lao Hu's heart, Ning Zhongguo was his benefactor and the noble man who gave him the opportunity to prove his value in life.
After Ning Zhongguo listened to Lao Hu's report, he frowned slightly.
After careful consideration, Ning Zhongguo asked, "Are you sure the news is true?"
Hearing this, Lao Hu immediately nodded and said with great certainty: "It's absolutely true. Xu Wei must have Mr. Chen's elixir in his hand, but I'm not sure how much exactly..."
"How did he find Mr. Chen?"
After saying that, before Lao Hu could answer, Ning Zhongguo suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and immediately shook his head and laughed out loud.
After shaking his head slightly, he sighed as if sighing: "Apart from you, only Lao Liu and Qiutong know the existence of Mr. Chen. Yesterday, Lao Liu suddenly asked for leave. I thought he was Is there something urgent to deal with...I really didn't expect that Old Liu would betray me one day..."
Lao Hu said nothing.
Although he is the vice president and Lao Liu is the driver, in comparison, Lao Liu has more seniority than him.
Ning Zhongguo would never treat his confidants badly.
Lao Hu wanted to climb up, so Ning Zhongguo let him sit in the position of vice president, second only to Ning Qiutong in Sino-Ocean Group.
Old Liu is not that ambitious. Ning Zhongguo wanted to transfer him many times, but Old Liu declined with a smile.
So Ning Zhongguo could only give him a big red envelope every year, which was no less thick than Lao Hu's annual salary.
Ning Zhongguo sighed for a while, but he didn't seem to take this matter too seriously.
After taking a sip of tea, he said casually: "That's all, Xu Wei's methods are probably too powerful, and Old Liu may have something to hide... In short, you can handle it, so there is no need to ask about this matter again. Me."
"OK."
Hearing this, Lao Hu nodded heavily.
In the slightly narrowed eyes, a cold light flashed faintly.
After talking about Lao Liu, Ning Zhongguo thought about it again, and then gently put down the teacup.
After pondering for a moment, he said to Lao Hu again: "Xu Wei should have found Mr. Chen before he went to Beijing... Well, you put the company's affairs aside first, and I will arrange two important things for you. Task."
"You say."
"The first task, starting today, you will try your best to find a woman named Qin Ruoying. This woman is Mr. Chen's partner. She has been missing for three years and was last seen in Shangjing. Mr. Chen probably went to Shangjing this time for Find her. But I think you can start from Zhonghai University... The identity of this woman should not be simple, so there is no upper limit on the task budget. When you need money, you can go to the financial account and report it. If you encounter any difficulties, please notify us in time. I, I will show up."
"Yes."
"The second task..."
Speaking of this, Ning Zhongguo suddenly laughed.
Then, with a bit of sarcasm on his face, he said softly: "Since Xu Wei wants to get in on my plate, let's see if he can squeeze in..."
