Chapter 347 Sea Exercise

"Hold my hand." Chi Wenyan reached out and grabbed Ji Wan, pulling her to the shore.

Ji Wan was soaked all over and the cold made her shiver constantly.

Chi Wenyan took off his coat and put it on her, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, just a little cold." Ji Wan forced a smile.

At this time, Shang Tong had been rescued by Chi Lin and brought ashore. She immediately burst into tears, "It was Ji Wan who pushed me into the water. I just came to see the flowers, and she suddenly went crazy and pushed me."

Shang Yunmin rushed over after hearing the news. Seeing Shang Tong soaked to the skin, she immediately hugged her distressedly and asked, "Tongtong, are you okay?" Then she looked at Ji Wan angrily and asked, "Ji Wan, how could you do this?"

"That's not the case," Ji Wan tried to explain, "She pushed me first, and I just caught her when I fell."

"You're lying." Shang Tong screamed, "It was obviously you who was jealous of me and pushed me on purpose."

Seeing the argument getting more and more intense, the old man finally spoke up, "Enough. There are surveillance cameras here. We can find out who is lying once we check."

Only then did everyone notice that there was a surveillance camera installed on the pavilion by the lake, facing the scene of the incident.

Chi Wenyan immediately ordered someone to retrieve the surveillance video.

Soon, the truth came to light: the video clearly showed that it was Shang Tong who pushed Ji Wan first, and Ji Wan just held her back in counterattack.

What’s even more surprising is that the video also has sound, and Shang Tong’s insulting words to Ji Wan were recorded in full.

Shang Yunmin's expression was extremely ugly. "Tongtong, how could you do this?"

Shang Tong's face turned pale and she could no longer argue.

The old man was furious. "Shang Tong, not only did you intentionally hurt someone, you also dared to frame them. Is this the family tradition of Shang family?"

"Grandpa, I..." Shang Tong was trembling with fear.

"You will be punished by copying the family rules a hundred times and reflecting on your mistakes indoors for a month." The old man said sternly.

Chi Wenyan stepped forward and said, "Grandpa, Tongtong did do something wrong, but she is still young. I hope I can give her a chance to correct her mistakes this time."

The old man glanced at Chi Wenyan and said, "Wenyan, you are always so magnanimous. Okay, I'll do as you say, but the family rules must be copied. There is no waiver."

Shang Tong looked at Chi Wenyan gratefully, then lowered her head and dared not speak again.

After the matter came to an end, Ji Wan returned to her room, changed into clean clothes, and prepared to leave. Chi Lin was waiting for her at the door, his face gloomy.

"Ji Wan, don't get too close to Wen Yan in the future." Chi Lin warned.

Ji Wan sneered, "We are just friends, don't think too much. Besides, we have decided to divorce, you have no right to interfere with my friendships."

Chi Lin clenched his fists, but ultimately did not lose his temper. "Whatever you say."

Ji Wan left the old house and returned to Jing Nanxing's apartment, exhausted.

The next morning, Ji Wan returned to the company and received unexpected good news.

She was promoted to deputy manager of the business department, reporting directly to the general manager and no longer under Liu Zixin's jurisdiction.

"Congratulations, Sister Wan." Xia Guoguo said excitedly, "This is great news."

Ji Wan was also surprised, but soon realized that this was the reward for the success of the Qihai project.

Cheng Wen came over and handed her a document. "Manager Ji, this is the new project arrangement. Please take a look."

Ji Wan took the document and frowned, "What? Going surfing with a client?"

Cheng Wen nodded. "It's part of the Qihai project. President Fu specifically requested it, saying he wanted to enhance understanding between partners through informal settings."

Ji Wan recalled that Fu Qichuan mentioned it once after dinner, but he didn't expect it to be arranged so soon.

"Okay, when do we leave?" Ji Wan asked.

"Tomorrow morning," Cheng Wen replied. "All the equipment has been prepared. You just need to bring some changes of clothes."

Ji Wan nodded, but she felt a little nervous. She didn't know how to surf, and she might make a fool of herself.

"By the way," Cheng Wen hesitated, "I have some news that I'm not sure if I should tell you."

"What news?"

"Mr. Chi...seems to be preparing for a business trip to Kyoto, and he'll be gone for a week." Cheng Wen said cautiously.

Ji Wan's heart moved. Chi Lin was going to Kyoto?

But does this have anything to do with Ning Weiwei?

But she quickly shook her head and pushed those thoughts aside.

No matter where Chi Lin goes or what he does, it has nothing to do with her.

Now, the only thing she needs to focus on is how to avoid making a fool of herself in tomorrow's surfing activity and how to further advance the Qi Hai project and achieve financial independence as soon as possible.

Early in the morning, Ji Wan and Xia Guoguo arrived at the beach early.

The sun has not yet fully illuminated the earth, the sea water is a light blue, and the sea breeze is cool, blowing towards you, as if it has a salty taste.

"Sister Wan, do you really want to learn surfing? We have an event with clients tomorrow, so you can rest today." Xia Guoguo asked worriedly, holding two surfboards.

Ji Wan had already changed into a tight diving suit and tied her hair up high, with a determined look on her face. "It's always good to learn a little. I don't want to make a fool of myself in front of President Fu tomorrow."

There are not many people on the beach. Most of them are locals who get up early for morning exercises, scattered on the beach in twos and threes.

Ji Wan found a flat piece of sand and placed the surfboard flat on the ground.

"Okay, I'll teach you some basic movements on the shore first." Xia Guoguo said.

She learned to surf for a while in college. Although she couldn't be called a professional, she had no problem getting started.

Ji Wan carefully studied every move, lying on the surfboard, paddling with both hands, and quickly standing up to maintain balance...

These seemingly simple actions are not easy to do.

"I think I've almost mastered it. Let's go in the water and try it." Ji Wan stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Xia Guoguo was a little skeptical, "Sister Wan, how about practicing for a while? Surfing is not that easy..."

"Theory is just theory after all, and practice is the only criterion for testing truth." Ji Wan said with a smile, picked up the surfboard and walked towards the sea.

Xia Guoguo shook her head helplessly and followed.

The cool sea water soon reached Ji Wan's waist. Following Xia Guoguo's instructions, she lay on the surfboard, paddled with her hands, and headed towards deeper waters.

"When the waves come, stand up quickly and keep your balance." Xia Guoguo shouted from the side.

Ji Wan nodded and stared at the sea intently.

Soon, a small wave came, and Ji Wan paddled quickly, trying to keep up with the rhythm of the wave, then turned over and tried to stand up.

“Pah.”

Ji Wan fell heavily into the water and his surfboard flew out.

She choked on the water a few times, floated to the surface in embarrassment, and wiped the water off her face.

"Are you okay, Sister Wan?" Xia Guoguo swam over worriedly.

"It's okay." Ji Wan grabbed the surfboard and climbed back up. "One more time."

In the next hour, Ji Wan fell countless times. Every time he lost his balance just as he was about to stand up, or was knocked over by the waves before he could even stand up.

Her skin was whitened by the sea water, and her arms and legs were a little red from repeated beatings, but she still did not give up.
