Chapter 92: Proposal
Country C is a tropical island country located near the equator, with beautiful scenery and warm climate.
Here you can find clear waters, bright sunshine, vast beaches, mysterious jungles... In short, it is a well-deserved perfect tourist paradise.
The end of the year is the peak season, and many tourists from the northern hemisphere flock to escape the cold and unbearable winter.
It was evening when we arrived at our destination. The sky was stained with beautiful sunset glow, and there was a warm breeze. The lush green trees on both sides of the road swayed in the wind, like some kind of cheerful welcome ceremony.
The hotel staff were already waiting in the parking lot, wearing neat uniforms. They took the luggage one by one with a smile on their faces and enthusiastically led the way for everyone.
This was Shen Fengni's first time participating in a company team-building event. She walked at the back of the group, feeling unfamiliar and fresh.
"Take this, there are a lot of mosquitoes here."
Jiang Zhuoyan beside her stuffed something into her hand. Shen Fengni lowered her head and saw a pack of mosquito repellent patches.
"Okay." She immediately took out two pieces and put them on her arm and thigh respectively. She raised her eyes and smiled at Jiang Zhuoyan, "Niannian is really nice."
Even at night, the local temperature is above 25 degrees.
Therefore, Chen Fengni was dressed very coolly, wearing a water-green suspender top, light-colored jeans, and her slender waist and long legs were clearly visible.
Her delicate, porcelain-white skin is so soft and delicate that it makes your eyes dizzy. The newly applied mosquito repellent sticker is printed with cartoon patterns, which makes it a cute embellishment.
Jiang Zhuoyan pursed his lips, reached out to hold her hand, and walked forward together.
The people in the company were quite sensible. After a brief chat, they naturally kept a distance from the two of them, and no one came forward to disturb them again.
After chatting with Xiao Yang and the others some time ago, Jiang Zhuoyan found an opportunity to ask Shen Fengni where she liked, on the grounds that she wanted to use it as a reference when choosing the venue for the annual meeting.
Shen Fengni thought about it and said that she was afraid of the cold, so she preferred to go to a warm place.
Jiang Zhuoyan thought about it again and again and finally decided on Country C.
It's not just because of the warm climate and beautiful scenery, there's another reason.
There is a mountain range in Country C called Lingxi Mountain, which is a well-known scenic spot. The scenery there is very similar to the Jile Peak in "Jianghu Nuo".
Whether in past lives or present lives, they both had many fond memories in the game. Therefore, for them, Jianghu Nuo was no longer just a game to kill time.
It is the beginning of fate, the continuation of the story, and will also witness the ending of the fairy tale. It is of great significance and irreplaceable.
Therefore, Jiang Zhuoyan's plan was to choose a suitable location in Lingxi Mountain, try to recreate a scene from the Paradise Palace, and propose to Chen Fengni there.
Of course, she wouldn't propose directly at the beginning, but would find a suitable reason to bring the man over first.
At that time, she would tell Shen Fengni that she was organizing a theme party and let everyone dress up as their favorite game characters. Then she could naturally let Shen Fengni wear the sect school uniform that she had prepared in advance.
Anyway, "Yimeng" is a game company and has organized similar gatherings before, so doing this will not feel abrupt.
Jiang Zhuoyan felt that her plan was perfect. The only thing that bothered her a little was that the cross-border nature of the trip made the preparations more difficult.
Country C is a small country, and online shopping isn't nearly as developed as in my own country. Many props had to be purchased from domestic websites and then brought over, which added a lot of work.
But for a perfect proposal plan, it's worth the trouble.
Jiang Zhuoyan walked with her eyes downcast, a faint smile on her lips.
The hotel rooms are spacious and comfortable, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery by opening the window.
The mountains are rolling, covered in lush greenery. The beach is bustling with tourists, laughing and playing in the waves. The endless coastline winds as far as the eye can see, connecting the water and the sky.
"What do you want to eat tonight?"
While putting away her luggage, Shen Fengni turned around and asked the people around her.
It was already past seven in the evening. Considering that everyone was tired after the long journey, no group activities were arranged for the first night and the employees made their own arrangements.
Jiang Zhuoyan came over to help, "Let's eat seafood."
"Okay, let's go out for dinner?" Shen Fengni didn't stop moving, and quickly sorted the items in a suitcase and put them away. "Just now, when I was on the road, I saw a few good restaurants nearby."
"Feng Ni, I'm a little tired and don't really want to go out." Jiang Zhuoyan was silent for a moment before answering, "Also, I have some work to take care of. Could you please pack it up and bring it back?"
The slightly stiff tone and polite words made Shen Fengni stunned.
She nodded without asking any more questions, "Of course, you have a good rest, I will be back soon."
Then she leaned in closer, kissed her girlfriend on the cheek, then grabbed her bag and walked out the door.
The door of the room was closed again and Jiang Zhuoyan breathed a sigh of relief.
The proposal was due tomorrow night, and she had a few details to discuss with Xiao Yang and the others, so she had deliberately sent Shen Fengni away. Otherwise, the two of them would be together almost 24 hours a day, and there would be no chance for her to speak.
In order to give Shen Fengni a surprise and keep it confidential, only she, Xiao Yang and the other two knew about this.
Jiang Zhuoyan took out his cell phone and sent a message to a small group of four people named "Silence is Golden": What's going on?
The other party responded quickly.
A little lamb: Report, the venue is ready!
Xiaojuaner: Report, the costumes are ready!
Zhizhi Berry: Report, the props are ready!
Every time he asked about the progress, the three girls opposite him looked ready for battle, and their team was neat and orderly, which often gave Jiang Zhuoyan the illusion that he was in a military camp.
She was already used to this pattern, and after asking a few questions, she suddenly remembered something.
Yan: Remember to try the fan.
This time, the person on the other end took a while to answer: Don't worry, Mr. Jiang.
***
In the corner of a small restaurant, there were three listless figures.
"What should we do now?"
Tang Lili sighed and broke the silence, "We have to think of a way."
"I can't think of it." Xiao Yang sighed and leaned back. "Destroy it."
Her gaze shifted to the tabletop.
There was a red folding fan on the table. It was extremely beautiful and exquisite, but several of its ribs were broken in the middle, making it a defective product.
Anyone who sees it will sigh that it is a pity.
Since only the three of them knew about the proposal, they naturally shouldered a heavy responsibility. Jiang Zhuoyan had specifically asked them to arrive in Country C a few days earlier than the others to make all the necessary preparations.
The work wasn't too strenuous, and there was still plenty of time left every day for enjoyment. The three of them felt they had made a lot of money, and lived extremely happily every day... until today.
The story behind this is a long one. There is a setting in the Paradise Palace that when people in the sect express their feelings to their sweetheart, they often give her a red folding fan.
The folding fan is the sect weapon of the Paradise Palace. Giving out a folding fan means being willing to protect the other person forever.
So Jiang Zhuoyan also added this element when proposing to her. She would give Shen Fengni a folding fan. When she opened the fan, the ring tied to the fan rib would slide down and come into her sight.
Then Jiang Zhuoyan would say the prepared lines and propose naturally.
This fan was custom-made by Jiang Zhuoyan based on the shape of a weapon from the Paradise Palace. It was one of a kind. Along with the other props, it had been mailed over early, ready for use tomorrow night.
But now...
"It's all my fault." Kong Zhi raised her head suddenly, as if she had made up her mind. "Let's glue the fan first. If we get caught, I'll stand up and admit it."
"No, no."
The two friends shook their heads in unison.
"None of your business."
"It must be a transportation problem."
The fan was fine when they first got it, and they didn't pay much attention to it. But a few hours ago, when Kong Zhi was checking the props again, she casually picked up the fan and opened and closed it twice, and several of the fan ribs broke at once, which almost gave her a heart attack.
The other two people were nearby at the time and knew that Kong Zhi was operating the fan normally and did not accidentally damage it by using too much force. So either the quality of the fan itself was problematic, or the fan ribs had already suffered subtle damage during transportation.
But now that things have come to this, there is no point in dwelling on the cause. The most urgent task is to find a solution as soon as possible.
It was impossible to buy a custom-made folding fan. The three of them wandered around the island for an entire afternoon, looking for a place that could repair them, but they found nothing.
Seeing that it was time for dinner, the three decided to eat first before continuing to think of a solution.
"No, even if it's glued on, there will be obvious marks, and it will be visible at a glance."
Tang Lili held her chin up in her hand, her tone melancholy, "Even if it hadn't been discovered at the time, this fan would have been carefully kept after use. Mr. Jiang and Teacher Shen are both very careful people, so they would have definitely discovered it right away."
Kong Zhi had already started thinking about his funeral. "This kind of crime... in ancient times, the punishment would be death."
She had already made up her mind. If Jiang Zhuoyan really pursued the matter, she would say that she had accidentally broken it. The broken fan bone was directly related to her, and she didn't want to drag others down.
Moreover, based on her understanding of Jiang Zhuoyan, it would be easier to be forgiven if one honestly admitted one's mistakes than to make excuses and deny them.
"We're all guilty." Xiao Yang rolled his eyes at her. "None of us three can escape."
Joking aside, it's just a fan, it shouldn't be enough to get you fired...
They are all familiar to Shen Fengni. If things really don't work out, they can ask her to plead for mercy. It won't be a big problem.
The message in the small group rang again.
Yan: Be sure to check the fan carefully.
Yan: Don't make any mistakes.
The three of them looked at each other, and then replied "Received" in the group in an extremely tragic manner.
What you fear will come true. Is there anything more tragic than this?
Xiao Yang fell back, looking resigned to his fate.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind, "What a coincidence, you guys are here too."
Xiao Yang sat up straight with a start and turned to look.
Shen Fengni suddenly appeared in the field of vision. Although she was not wearing any makeup, she was still so beautiful that the people passing by behind her became a blurred background.
"What a coincidence, Teacher Shen." Xiao Yang greeted him haltingly, "Are you eating alone?"
Chen Fengni lifted the bag containing the takeaway box and said, "Pack it up and eat it at the hotel."
The other two suddenly realized something and reached out to cover the folding fan on the table, but they were still a step too late.
"What are you guys talking about?" Chen Fengni took the folding fan with her free hand, her tone filled with curiosity. "This, is it the folding fan from Paradise Palace?"
