The other side.
The brothers An Minghe and An Minghui did not leave after work.
The two sat in the office of An's Building, looking at the bustling night view of Beijing, and discussed how to change the current situation of the company.
The recent events have caused a lot of uproar in the city. Not only has An's stock price been falling, but the number of projects has only decreased and not increased.
Apart from those old customers, there have been no new customers for nearly a month.
Although the raw material carcinogenic incident was clearly a rumor, some companies still chose to bypass Anshi and seek cooperation with other companies.
An Minghui said, "The domestic product market has been in full swing recently. Why don't we start a live broadcast and recruit some 00s to run it?"
An Minghe rolled his eyes at him. "What are you talking about? Selling CNC lathes? Selling steel? Who's selling that in a livestream?"
He had also heard a little about the recent trade war among domestically produced goods.
But An's is a heavy industry enterprise, and the orders start at at least several million. He doesn't think anyone would sell this in the live broadcast room.
An Minghui gave him a look that said, "You don't understand this." "It's not about selling, it's about promotion. The post-2000 generation has a way of doing things. If we abandon our traditional ways, perhaps we can usher in a new chapter..."
An Minghe thought about it and felt that what he said made sense. "Then I'll leave this matter to you. Do it as soon as possible. By the way, have you found the killer?"
When An Minghui mentioned this, hatred surged, and his face suddenly became gloomy. "No, those underground organizations in the south refused to accept her name as soon as they heard it."
An Minghe's eyes darkened. "We can only contact the Yamaguchi organization. Contact them immediately!"
——
The next morning, while having breakfast, Tang Xili received a call from Amy, telling her that An Minghe had contacted the Yamaguchi organization and the killer would arrive in Kyoto this afternoon.
"Get rid of it!" The girl's face was cold and she uttered these two words calmly.
Everyone at the table was confused and had no idea what this "get rid of" meant, but it didn't sound like a good thing.
Jiang Wenqing, who often said 'get rid of it', was very familiar with this. He nudged Yong Zhixu beside him with his elbow and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Third brother, she is going to kill someone."
Yong Zhixu whispered back, "Mind your own business."
Breakfast ended quickly, and at noon, we had the lotus banquet, one of Chunshan Court’s specialties.
To add to the fun, the ingredients for the lotus feast will be prepared by themselves.
A few kilometers away there is a small artificial lake owned by Chunshan Ting. The lake is full of lotus flowers and the ingredients will be obtained from the artificial lake.
Soon, they took Chunshanting's bus to the artificial lake.
It was mid-August in the Gregorian calendar, just after the Beginning of Autumn, and the tail end of summer had not yet slipped away. The lotus flowers were in full bloom, and the pink lotus flowers, untainted by the mud, were sandwiched between layers of green waves, which was particularly pleasant.
As the host, Yunchuan planned the itinerary. The lotus banquet required: lotus roots, lotus seeds, lotus flowers, lotus leaves, lotus stems, shrimps, and crabs.
There are 7 items in total, and there are 16 of them, who will be divided into four groups to complete them.
Lotus pods, lotus leaves and lotus flowers are easier to pick, so they are combined into one task. Shrimp and crabs are also combined. In order to be fair, Yunchuan asked everyone to draw lots. Whoever draws the lot will be in that group.
Tang Xili was drawn to the fourth group, Zhou Zhou was also drawn to the fourth group, as was Chen Zui.
"Who is our last member?" Chen Zui shouted with his hands on his hips.
Yong Zhixu silently raised the red ball with the number 4 printed on it in his hand.
Tang Xili's eyes moved. What a coincidence.
Chen Zui drew another task, and they got the task of picking lotus flowers and lotus leaves.
After dividing the work, the four groups put on life jackets and set off in small wooden canoes.
However, not long after they left, Zhou Zhou suddenly wanted to eat fish. Tang Xili waved towards the boat and was about to catch fish for her.
Chen Zui stopped her, "No, I love fishing the most, let me go."
When the boat approached, he jumped onto the boat swiftly, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it away.
Zhou Zhou also crawled over and said, "I heard there are many kinds of fish in this lake. Ah Li, I'll keep an eye on him to prevent you from catching the wrong ones. The task of picking lotus leaves is left to you. Don't tell Brother Chuan, I'm afraid he will punish me."
Having said that, without giving Tang Xili a chance to speak, he waved his hand to tell the boat to go faster.
The boat was moving very fast, and the propeller created a trail of white waves on the calm lake surface.
Tang Xili didn't have the chance to say anything. She frowned as she watched the boatman and Yong Zhixu being the only ones left on the boat in the blink of an eye.
While taking a hot spring bath yesterday, she thought about it and decided that since Mr. Yong’s gaze made her feel uncomfortable, she might as well stay away from him.
Unexpectedly, we were gathered together alone today...
Yong Zhixu sensed her unwillingness and a hint of loss flashed in his eyes.
He was still too anxious and shouldn't have revealed his feelings last night.
Now, the little girl doesn't want to be alone with him.
Why……
The man sighed, sat down at the stern, pointed southwest, and said to the boatman, "Brother, I think there are more lotus flowers over there. Let's go there."
"Okay," the master rowed the boat and took them deep into the lotus flowers.
This time, Yong Zhixu was no longer so bold. He carefully hid his feelings and tried not to look at her.
His words and actions were well-balanced, just like those of ordinary friends.
This made Tang Xili relax a lot, and the feeling of rejection gradually disappeared.
The two of them worked together to pick a large handful of lotus flowers, a handful of lotus leaves, and a handful of lotus pods, and then returned to the shore.
The other three groups also returned with full loads, including fresh shrimps, plump crabs, and tender lotus roots and lotus stems.
Because time did not permit, everyone did not delay and took the bus back to Chunshan Court.
As soon as he got off the car, Yunchuan asked the waiter to send the ingredients to the kitchen, and he took everyone to the highest viewing terrace in Chunshan Courtyard, overlooking the capital while waiting for the banquet to begin.
Nearing twelve o'clock, the first and second dishes came up, fried lotus petals and three treasures of lotus pond.
Yong Zhixu looked calm. With his bony fingers, he held the serving chopsticks, picked up a lotus petal, and placed it in Tangxi Pear's bowl.
"Miss Tangxi, these are the lotus flowers we picked. Try them." He said calmly, then picked up another petal and placed it in Yunchuan's bowl beside him. "Try them too."
Tang Xili subconsciously glanced at the man and found that he didn't look at her while picking up the food. The sudden feeling of rejection disappeared.
"Thank you." She responded politely, and then, to prevent him from picking up more food for her, she quickly put the food into her own bowl as soon as the dish was served.
When the eighth dish was served, Jiang Wenqing, who was browsing on his phone opposite, suddenly looked unusual.
"Chen Zui, look!" He handed the phone to Chen Zui who was sitting next to him.
"What?" Chen Zui was confused and took a closer look.
It's a video.
Outside the airport, a group of masked men in black clothes started fighting with another group of masked men in white clothes. The fight turned into a gunfight and all the men in black were killed.
"Oh my god! Where is this?" Chen Zui was shocked.
