After hanging up the phone with Jun Shiling, Xia Yu followed Jun Shiling’s request and asked the local people in Continent F if they had seen a similar pattern. However, the answer he received was no.
“Okay, thank you.” Xia Yu nodded at the local residents and walked along the street towards the shore.
This was a small village by the sea. The streets here looked dilapidated because of the war all year round. Xia Yu occasionally stopped to buy some daily necessities.
Seeing that it was almost time, Xia Yu was about to return to the team when he saw Lin Yi bandaging an injured child by the street not far away.
The little kid’s face was dirty. Lin Yi wiped the dirt off his mouth with her sleeve, then took out a milk candy from her pocket and stuffed it into his mouth. “Bear with it. It won’t hurt anymore after I bandage you.”
Children always hid in the chaos of war and had never seen someone as gentle as Lin Yi. He looked at Lin Yi in a daze and even forgot the pain in his arm.
The medical conditions here were simple, so Lin Yi could only treat him simply.
Over the past two days, Xia Yu’s ship had temporarily stopped here, so Lin Yi had been treating the people around here.
Her white clothes were already covered in all sorts of dirt. Her beautiful black hair was tied up behind her head, and she looked very tired because she did not sleep well.
However, in the chaos, Xia Yu felt that she was very eye-catching.
He did not disturb Lin Yi and stood quietly at the side.
After some time, Lin Yi packed her things and was about to leave when she looked up and saw Xia Yu leaning against the wall.
Lin Yi nodded at Xia Yu. “Why are you here?”
“I was passing by.” Xia Yu glanced at the medical kit in Lin Yi’s hand. “You came to treat them again.”
“Mm.” Lin Yi carried her things and was about to leave when Xia Yu reached out to take the medical kit from Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment and tacitly agreed to Xia Yu’s movements.
“We’re preparing to return to China.” As Xia Yu walked, he turned to look at Lin Yi. “What are your plans? Do you want to come with us?”
Lin Yi shook her head. “I don’t want to go back.”
Perhaps after returning, her life would be comfortable. In Continent F, life was filled with danger.
However, a bird that was used to flying in the sky could not tolerate life in a cage.
“I’ll continue to stay here. Our newspaper needs war reporters too. If the others are unwilling to come, I’m willing.”
“Okay.”
To Lin Yi’s surprise, Xia Yu had become especially easy to talk to in the past two days and did not mention their marriage anymore.
The conversation between the two fell silent. Lin Yi began to miss the time when the two of them had yet to open their relationship.
She thought of that moonlit night in the desert. Xia Yu was holding her hand and there was no one around. The two of them chatted quietly under the starry sky.
However, now,
Lin Yi secretly turned to look at Xia Yu and met Xia Yu’s smiling eyes.
“When are you leaving?” Since Xia Yu had seen her, Lin Yi did not hesitate anymore. She looked at Xia Yu openly.
“In five hours.”
“Oh.” Lin Yi pursed her lips. “Then, have a safe trip.”
The corners of Xia Yu’s lips curled up slightly and he did not respond to Lin Yi.
Unknowingly, the two of them had already walked back to the ship. Lin Yi did not seem to be in a good mood. She took back her things. “Since you’re leaving, I’ll pack my things and leave later.”
Xia Yu replied and watched Lin Yi leave, thinking about something.
In Beijing, when Xia Wanyuan woke up, it was already night.
It had already rained twice in autumn, and the temperature outside was already relatively low. Xia Wanyuan sat up from the bed. Jun Shiling, who was working at the side, walked over with a blanket and covered Xia Wanyuan’s shoulder.
“Have you slept well? Are you hungry?”
Xia Wanyuan nodded. “I’m hungry.”
Soon, someone sent the food over. Jun Shiling fed Xia Wanyuan mouthful by mouthful. Seeing Xia Wanyuan eat like a kitten, Jun Shiling’s eyes flickered. He suddenly leaned over and kissed Xia Wanyuan’s face.
Caught off guard, Xia Wanyuan stopped chewing. She glanced at Jun Shiling. “What are you doing?”
Jun Shiling kissed her again. “I’m very happy.”
“What?”
Over the past few days, Jun Shiling had been worried about Xia Wanyuan’s health and had always been tense.
However, just now, seeing Xia Wanyuan eat like a kitten, the string in Jun Shiling’s heart suddenly softened.
He finally felt a little real. Xia Wanyuan was really safe and had given birth to their children.
This late joy finally engulfed Jun Shiling like a tide.
Jun Shiling put his bowl aside and pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms, kissing her forehead non-stop.
Xia Wanyuan was sad and touched. She allowed Jun Shiling to vent the joy in her heart while feeling a little helpless. “CEO Jun, I’m so hungry. How long has it been since I ate?”
Only then did Jun Shiling let go of her and feed her again. “Eat properly. I heard from others that you must take good care of a woman in the first month after giving birth. I’ll be in charge of your daily life this month.”
Although the gold medal nanny would also arrange Xia Wanyuan’s living arrangements, Jun Shiling was still worried. He was afraid that something would happen to Xia Wanyuan’s health.
Looking at Jun Shiling’s anxious and nervous expression, Xia Wanyuan’s heart warmed.
The reason why she was willing to risk ten months of pregnancy and give birth to those two children with all her might was because she knew that Jun Shiling was worth it.
“Alright, then I’ll enjoy CEO Jun’s care.” Xia Wanyuan blinked at Jun Shiling. “I want to go to the window to take a look. I’m so bored being cooped up in bed every day.”
“I’ll play chess with you.” Jun Shiling carried Xia Wanyuan to the French window and brought the chessboard.
Not far away, the two babies were sleeping soundly. The room was quiet, with only the sound of chess pieces landing.
The manor was silent, but the outside world was surging.
During this period of time, the Xuan family had become more and more high-profile.
At first, Xuan Li was still worried about Xia Wanyuan’s counterattack. However, ever since the news of Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling being kidnapped spread, Xuan Li watched for a while and completely fell into madness.
He increased the investment in various projects and tried to snatch the Moon Bay project from the Xiafeng Group.
The shares of the Xuan family’s company rose and became something that everyone flocked to.
However, just now, this stock that had advanced rapidly and became the most investment-worthy stock in recent times suddenly fell.
At the same time, all the major news media exposed the various problems of the Xuan company.
Xuan Li’s appetite was too big, and his strides were quite big. He often swallowed this project in one gulp and went to buy the next project before he could digest it.
Under such a series of adverse reactions, the Xuan Corporation’s investment project finally exploded.
“I heard that the Xuan family is holding a board meeting soon. I’m afraid Xuan Li won’t be able to protect the position of the head of the Xuan family this time. The Xuan family will suffer a huge loss this time.”
[Serves him right. I have good reason to suspect that this person was the one who caused Xuan Sheng’s accident. After Xuan Sheng passed away, this person danced too happily. I’ve long disliked him.]
[ I just want to ask, are he and Xuan Sheng really brothers? They really don’t look alike at all. Xuan Sheng is much better-looking than him. I feel that Xuan Sheng is the real crown prince. This person is like that tanuki. ]
[ Sigh, if only Xuan Sheng wasn’t dead. I feel that he’s so pitiful. His parents don’t love him, and the person he likes doesn’t like him either. He died for no reason. ]Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com
The Internet was in an uproar. In the Xuan family corporation, the usually calm Xuan Li threw everything to the ground.
“Idiot!!”
The assistant walked forward and packed the documents. “CEO Xuan, the meeting is about to start. You have to let others see your confidence.”
Xuan Li took a deep breath. “Where’s Xuan Sheng’s corpse?”
“It was cremated long ago.” The assistant looked at Xuan Li in confusion. “What’s wrong, CEO Xuan? Not long after Xuan Sheng was salvaged, Linxi cremated him. Why are you asking this now?”
“No.” Xuan Li scratched his hair. “Things have been too strange recently. Everything seems to be Xuan Sheng’s doing.”
In the middle of the day, the assistant was frightened by Xuan Li’s words. “CEO Xuan, no way. At that time, we sent someone to the scene to check. It was Xuan Sheng himself.”
“No.” Xuan Li had a very bad feeling. “It’s not that simple. Back then, our people were not hidden. If Xuan Sheng really died, according to Xia Wanyuan’s style, she would definitely look for us. However, she didn’t. Does that mean...”
As Xuan Li spoke, his expression changed.
The victory during this period of time was too easy, so much so that he ignored many hidden details.
A smile involuntarily appeared in Xuan Sheng’s eyes.
As expected, Xia Wanyuan’s child was as likable as her.
Xuan Sheng stood by the cradle and looked at it for a while before turning to look at Xia Wanyuan. “Alright, I’m done. I still have something on at the company. I’ll go back first.”
“Okay.”
Knowing that Xuan Sheng had just taken over the Xuan family recently and had more things to do, Xia Wanyuan did not ask him to stay.
Xuan Sheng did not let anyone send him out. Instead, he walked out alone.
From the main building to the entrance, Xuan Sheng walked step by step. His eyes were clearly flickering. When he reached the door, Xuan Sheng looked in from afar.
Thinking of the little girl’s eyes just now, Xuan Sheng’s lips curled up slightly.
The assistant had been waiting outside for a long time, afraid that Xuan Sheng and Jun Shiling would have a conflict.
Now that he saw that although Xuan Sheng had come out, he was standing there in a daze without moving, the assistant hurriedly ran over to remind Xuan Sheng.
“CEO Xuan, we should go back.”
“Mm.” Xuan Sheng nodded and got into the car.
Outside the car, the assistant felt a little strange. Why did I feel that the current Xuan Sheng was different from when he came over just now?
It was as if the dark clouds had dispersed and they had finally seen the light of day.
“Aren’t you leaving?” Xuan Sheng suddenly said in the car.
The assistant hurriedly restrained his thoughts and followed Xuan Sheng into the car.
In the manor, Xia Wanyuan did not want to play cards anymore.
She put the things aside disinterestedly. “Do you think Xuan Sheng can still find a girl he likes?”
Initially, when Xia Wanyuan saw that Xuan Sheng took good care of Lu Li, she thought that Lu Li would eventually move Xuan Sheng.
However, from the looks of it, Lu Li and Xuan Sheng’s relationship was becoming more and more like siblings.
Jun Shiling quietly packed the chess cards that Xia Wanyuan had thrown aside. “No.”
“Why?”
“Because if it were me, I wouldn’t either.”
There would not be a second Xia Wanyuan in the world, so there would naturally not be a second relationship.
Xia Wanyuan was silent. “Then...”
As if knowing what Xia Wanyuan was going to say, Jun Shiling spoke first. “How do you know that he’s unhappy?”
If Jun Shiling had not been standing beside Xia Wanyuan today, he would have been happy to be able to look at her from afar.
Xia Wanyuan sighed softly. “Forget it, let’s not talk about this. I haven’t looked at the company’s situation recently. Is the profitability of the Moon Bay project okay?”
Jun Shiling shook his head.
Xia Wanyuan looked at him in surprise. “Did I lose money?? I thought everyone would like that play mode.”
Jun Shiling smiled. “Stupid, not just okay, it’s very good. Your project has already surpassed all the amusement park projects in the world and become the most profitable one.”
The key was that the Moon Bay project not only drove everyone to spend in the scenic area, but more importantly, this project conveyed the beauty of all sorts of traditional Chinese culture to tourists through the various beauty in the scenic area.
As a result, after everyone left the amusement park project, they could not forget all sorts of folklore skills, which led to a large number of products.
Xia Wanyuan did not expect to earn so much money. Her original intention was to build a carrier that could bear the beauty of China’s traditional culture.
In the end, not only did the carrier succeed, but commercialization was also maximized.
Therefore, it was not that China’s culture was not suitable for commercialization. It was just to see if they would publicize and use it.
Not only did this project attract all sorts of local tourists in China, but the experience and evaluation of foreign tourists were also quite good.
Capital was all about profit. When everyone saw that Xia Wanyuan’s project was so profitable, they wanted to discuss cooperation with her.
There was no lack of large companies who had offered rather generous conditions to cooperate with Xia Wanyuan and open the Moon Bay project overseas.
“These are companies that want to cooperate. You can consider it yourself.” Jun Shiling placed a stack of documents in front of Xia Wanyuan.
Xia Wanyuan flipped through it and was a little interested in the largest amusement park project company.
This LY company was quite famous worldwide.
Coincidentally, Xia Wanyuan was looking at its information when the company called her.
Xia Wanyuan was very willing to discuss the expansion of the project with the other party.
However, after the other party said a few words, Xia Wanyuan began to lose interest.
“No need. I won’t consider it. Goodbye.” In the end, Xia Wanyuan interrupted the other party and hung up.
Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was a little angry, Jun Shiling pinched her face. “What’s wrong? What did they say?”
“They said that they want to build a paradise similar to the Moon Bay project in China, but there are requirements. They want to control the cost budget and want to mass customize handicrafts from the Internet to build the entire paradise.”
Back then, Xia Wanyuan’s original intention of building the Moon Bay project was to restore the most real dream world. Any detail inside required extreme perfection.
According to the other company, if they could reduce the cost and use low-cost handicrafts, the profits would at least double. That was a huge number.
The other party had never thought that Xia Wanyuan would reject him.
“Why did she reject it??” The leader of LY Company was questioning the person in charge of contacting her. “The conditions we gave are already generous enough. What does she mean?”
The person in charge of contacting them could not explain, but his eyes darted around and he thought of a solution. “Director, Xia Wanyuan and the rest already have plans to come to Continent M to open an amusement park. Since she’s coming to Continent M, won’t things be easy?”
As the largest amusement park project company in the world, LY Company was famous worldwide and had almost formed an absolute monopoly.
As long as the Moon Bay project wanted to be successfully built in other countries, it would never be able to bypass LY.
“You’re right. Since they don’t want face, let’s wait for them to beg us one day.” The LY leaders looked at each other and finally agreed to this method.
At this moment, in China, Shen Qian was discussing with Xia Wanyuan about expanding the Moon Bay project to Continent M.
Shen Qian was already Xia Wanyuan’s most capable assistant. He had already made sufficient preparations to raise the idea of expansion.
Hearing Shen Qian’s report, Xia Wanyuan thought for a while and happily agreed.
“We can shift the center of the theme of the amusement park this time by a little.”
“How?”
“Shift to the mythical creatures.”
“What do you mean?” Shen Qian quickly understood what Xia Wanyuan meant. “Is ‘Under the Sky’ already preparing to be broadcasted?”
The moment Xia Wanyuan mentioned the mythical spirit monster, Shen Qian thought of “Under the Sky”. During this period of time, Xia Wanyuan had been very busy and had not had time to care about this television drama.
However, the scenes for the television drama had already been filmed. There was a professional team to oversee the post-production, so Xia Wanyuan did not have to worry anymore.
Now, after all sorts of improvements by the team, the first version of “Under the Sky” had already been reported to Xia Wanyuan.
“I haven’t had time to watch it.” Xia Wanyuan nodded. “But this television drama can be used as an entry point that can complement the amusement park project.”
“Okay, I’ll arrange it now.”
After the video conference with Shen Qian, Xia Wanyuan called An Rao.
An Rao’s mood did not sound very high. “Yuan Yuan.”
“At home? Do you want to come over?”
“Okay.” An Rao’s tone was very low. “Then I’ll pack up and bring the little kid over.”
Half an hour later, An Rao hugged Xiao Qingli and plunged into Xia Wanyuan’s arms. “Yuan Yuan, Bo Xiao hasn’t called me in a long time. Could something have happened to him?”
An Rao was already very worried about him. Although Bo Xiao was busy previously, he would still call her in two to three days to report his safety, but he had only called her once in a long time recently.
“No, I just asked Jun Shiling yesterday. Bo Xiao is safe, but he’s quite busy.”
Xia Wanyuan did not lie to An Rao. At this moment, in the southwest, Bo Xiao was inspecting the local situation with his teammates.
The village here was still calm and peaceful three months ago, but now, it was already a mess.
First, there was chaos, then a very fierce virus attacked. Most of the people in the village had been infected. Now, most of them were being treated in the isolation ward of the hospital.
