Chapter 128 Don't Attract Attention
Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the restaurant, heavy snow has begun to fall outside. Visibility is extremely low, and all outdoor evening activities have to be cancelled.
Amy and Ian loved the hustle and bustle, and thought it would be more fun with more people, so they agreed.
Lin Xiao looked at Chen Zan again. She was really pretty, with fair skin and delicate features. The tight sweater dress under her coat outlined her beautiful figure. She was prettier than any female celebrity he had dated before.
It is no wonder that the second son of the Zhou family, who never had any interest in women, broke the rule after his trip to Rongchuan.
He invited enthusiastically, "Chen Zhan, your colleagues have all agreed. Let's play together tonight."
Li Ziye also said at the right time: "Yes, it's more lively with more people."
Amy and Ian really wanted to go, so Chen Zhan agreed without disappointing them.
After dinner, I took a hot spring bath with Amy and the others. Seeing that it was almost time, I went to play in Lin Xiao and the others’ private room.
Before leaving, Chen Zan remembered that he had not taken his cell phone yet, so he went back to his room alone to get it. Only then did he see the missed calls and the message Zhou Jingyu had sent half an hour ago.
Zhou Jingyu: "Behave yourself outside and don't attract any attention."
When Chen Zan saw the text message, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. What's wrong with this man?
I called back, but no one answered.
Amy urged her to hurry up and stopped fighting.
The elevator to the hotel's entertainment area is separate from the guest room elevator. You have to go down one floor first and then take the sightseeing elevator outside to go up.
As the elevator went up, Amy could see the scenery outside more clearly. She couldn't help but say, "It's snowing so heavily tonight."
Chen Zan also saw that it was snowing even heavier than when she had dinner. She had never experienced such heavy snow before.
She took out her cell phone to check the weather forecast, but there was no blizzard warning. She remembered that Zhou Jingyu had told her to stay in the city as much as possible during the day, saying that it was uncertain whether there would be a blizzard this year.
I couldn't help but start to worry whether I could go down the mountain tomorrow.
Amy and Ian were quite carefree, thinking it was just snowing and nothing to be afraid of. Besides, the hotel was so big and there were so many people there, so nothing would happen. At most they would just have to stay in the hotel for a few more nights.

After Jiang Yushan finished his dinner in the evening, he went home and felt bored around midnight, so he simply called Xie Huaiqian to go up the mountain to join in the fun. Xie Huaiqian hadn't seen Chen Zan for several years, so he happily drove along.
As a result, when the car was halfway there and had not yet left the city, snow particles were already hitting the car window densely, making crackling sounds.
Xie Huaiqian felt that the weather was not right. "We can't drive anymore. The wind is strong and the snow is heavy. It's night time now, so visibility is too low. Let's wait until tomorrow to go into the mountains."
Jiang Yushan also noticed that the snow was falling abnormally. He hadn't seen such heavy snow in the capital for many years. He frowned and asked Xie Huaiqian to park the car on the side of the road and not drive away.
Xie Huaiqian found a parking space. There were few pedestrians on the road, and even the number of vehicles was pitifully small. The trash can next to him was covered with a thick layer of snow in a short while, and the entire street began to be covered with a layer of silver frost.
Jiang Yushan said seriously, "Hurry up and call Tuesday to ask him and the secretary when they will be back."
"There were snowstorms in several mountainous areas of Lin County. Didn't Second Uncle and his team go there to oversee the disaster response?"
"That's what happened. The main thing is that the snow is a bit abnormal. Blizzards, ice rain and extreme weather are no joke. The weather forecast is not accurate and it will come at any time.
They're not in the city, and if they don't handle it properly, it could be a big problem. By the way, ask your brother if the city has made advance arrangements for snow disaster prevention, especially emergency teams, snowplows, snowmelt, and other equipment."
After hearing this, Xie Huaiqian quickly made a phone call and asked, even if he was asleep, he had to wake up, otherwise there would be strong winds, heavy snow, and freezing rain all night, and the entire city's traffic might be paralyzed tomorrow.

In the hotel's entertainment box, the group played until the early morning.
Amy and Ian learned mahjong from someone, but their skills were not very good. Not only did they lose money, but they were also forced to drink a lot of alcohol.
Chen Zan had guessed that the two would be drunk, so she didn't drink more than two glasses that night and asked Lin Xiao and the other two friends who were not drunk to help send them back to the room, otherwise it would be really difficult for her to take care of two people at once.
In the hotel corridor, Lin Xiao learned that Chen Zan and the others were going down the mountain tomorrow, and said that they would also be going back tomorrow, so it was natural for him to add them as friends.
After adding a friend, the network was busy for a long time but there was no movement.
Lin Xiao wondered: "Is the phone broken?"
Chen Zhan said: "Maybe the weather affected the network signal."
Lin Xiao nodded. "That's fine. Anyway, I've left my contact information. It doesn't matter when I add you."
After sending the people away, Chen Zan took a towel to wipe Amy's face and changed her clothes. By the time he finished all this and lay back on the bed, it was already two o'clock.
At five or six in the morning, Chen Zhan and Amy were practically woken by the cold. Hotels usually have heating on, so wearing short sleeves to bed at night is no problem, so there's no such thing as being woken by the cold.
But Chen Zhan and Amy were really woken up by the cold.
"Are you sure? The hotel has turned off the heating?" Amy asked as she went to turn on the light. She found that not only was there no heating, but there was also a power outage.
Chen Zhan immediately reached for the phone on the bedside table and discovered that it was not yet six o'clock, but the phone had no signal at all.
I turned around and called the guest room phone, but the line was busy.
Amy was frightened, "Cynthia, what's going on?"
Chen Zhan was relatively calm. He put on his coat and said, "You stay in the room first. I'll go downstairs to ask the front desk."
Amy was afraid of the dark, so she insisted on getting dressed and going with him no matter what, and not staying in the room alone.
Chen Zhan: "Then come with me."
As the two of them arrived at the door, there was a knock, and Ian's voice came from outside, "Amy, Cynthia, I heard you, is there a power outage in your room too?"
The two opened the door. Ian was wrapped in a thick down jacket. It seemed that he was also woken up by the cold. When he found something unusual, he came to knock on the door as soon as he was worried that the two ladies were not safe.
Fortunately, there were lights in the corridor and the elevator was working normally.
When we went to the lobby, we found that there were not only them, but also many other guests gathered in the lobby.
They had just arrived a while ago, and the front desk phone had been busy non-stop. The reason was that not only was there a problem in their room, but the entire hotel had a power outage. The generator had been urgently activated, but the power was insufficient to support the electricity in all the rooms.
In addition, it was still dark outside and the snow had not stopped. The hotel management suspected that the power lines were broken by the snowstorm last night. They had to wait until the snow stopped before they could send anyone out to check.
The hotel staff tried their best to comfort the guests. Amy looked at the heavy snow outside, which showed no sign of stopping, and said a little fearfully, "It's snowing so hard, and it's warm even without the power. Are we going to be trapped here, like in Blizzard Hill? Outsiders can't get in, and we can't get out. Cynthia, we really should have listened to you and not come here."
Chen Zhan was still worried, but when he heard her say that, he couldn't help but laugh: "Amy, you've watched too many horror movies and underestimated our country. As long as the snow stops, there will definitely be a way to get out."
Amy blinked, "Cynthia, Sister Anna is right. Although you are the youngest in our department, you are the calmest and most collected person. No wonder Sister Anna thinks so highly of you."
Chen Zhan said seriously, "No, I believe in the ability of our government. Even if the mountain is blocked by heavy snow, someone will come to take us out."
If she encountered this kind of thing abroad, she might really have the same idea as Amy, but this happened in China, and she instinctively believed it unconditionally.
