Chapter 3725 ArrivalEarly Saturday morning.
Miss Ying... Song Ying was actually woken up by a call from Mr. Song - it wasn't anything important, he just told her that young people shouldn't sleep in and should get up early to breathe fresh air.
After finally dealing with the nagging of her elders, Miss Sakura wanted to take a nap but found that she was no longer sleepy. She felt a little irritated and simply took an early swim.
This villa was bought before [Qilin City] became an extraordinary restricted area. It cost about 60 million yuan at that time. The main feature was that it had a large swimming pool and occupied a large area. As for its current value... Song Ying made a huge profit anyway.
"Miss, your breakfast."
Song Ying nodded, looked around, and said thoughtfully, "Where is that bitch Song Haoran? This time he came here, he was not seen for three days and two days, and he ran out again early in the morning?"
Gan Hong placed the plates expressionlessly, "It seems that the Second Master had an appointment with the representative of the Daidoji Group, Chida Hideo, today, but they were not in the hotel, they went out together."
Song Ying couldn't help but frowned. "This guy is so mysterious. What bad things is he doing again?"
Gan Hong did not comment on this, but suddenly said, "By the way, it seems that Miss Ren left [Qilin City] today."
Song Ying was stunned for a moment, "What is she doing outside [Qilin City]?"
"Not sure yet." Gan Hong thought for a moment and said, "But the car just got on the highway, and judging from the direction, it should be heading south."
"South..."
……
……
The meeting place was a teahouse with a strong ancient charm.
Hideo Chida only brought an assistant with him when he traveled. The assistant was quite strong, probably because he had some kung fu skills... As for the others, in [Qilin City], it is impossible to tell whether you are a human or a ghost.
"It's my fault for keeping Mr. Song waiting for so long." Chida Hideo apologized very formally.
"The tea here is very good." Song Haoran smiled calmly, "Your country's tea ceremony is also unique, you might as well taste it."
"Oh, you really have to savor it."
Neither of them started talking, but the confrontation had already begun.
The island nation wants to obtain the right to reside in [Qilin City] this time, and of course they will not just put their bets on one place... The lost cultural relics of the previous dynasty are indeed very attractive to the Shenzhou government, but it is obviously not realistic to give up the right to reside in the [Supernatural Forbidden Zone] just for this.
The country of China always prioritizes protecting its own citizens.
Therefore, the island country needs more lobbyists... The Taoist Association of Shenzhou is a very good target - so in addition to the list given to the Shenzhou government, a part of the return of cultural relics is also given to the Taoist Association of Shenzhou.
A large number of ancient Taoist books, and even some lost Taoist instruments and collections - these things were like precious pearls covered in dust before the revival of spiritual energy, but today they are shining with their former glory.
Song Haoran is a man of many means. When he first joined the association, he was only a secretary. But later, because he was so capable, he was soon officially appointed as a director of the association with a high number of votes.
Of course, he is not the only director, but compared to those old antiques who just retreat into seclusion, young people are more sociable... A new era has arrived, and organizations like the Taoist Association, which are mostly composed of old antiques, also need to be injected with new vitality.
What's more, the Song family had already had contact with the Daidoji Group when it was developing in Samba Country...that's why they had this contact with the Daidoji Group.
"Speaking of which, Miss Daidoji hasn't been found yet, which is really worrying." Song Haoran suddenly sighed.
"I heard that Mr. Song has made a lot of efforts in this matter and even provided reliable clues to the law enforcement of [Qilin City]. I am really grateful." Chida Hideo expressed his gratitude solemnly.
"I just hope that this matter will not affect the discussion with you." Song Haoran smiled and said, "I will do my best."
"Please rest assured, Mr. Song, we came here with the utmost sincerity this time." Chida Hideo said formally, "Ms. Yujia's matter will not affect what we are going to do next."
"Mr. Chida doesn't seem... to be worried about Miss Yujia?" Song Haoran showed curiosity.
"Of course I am worried, but I believe in your country's ability." Chida Hideo said, "Besides, we asked Miss Yuga to accompany us this time and let her be the main person in charge of the delegation just to make it more serious. In fact, Miss Yuga does not have the right to inherit the group. The Daidoji family has other outstanding descendants in this generation."
"A mascot..." Song Haoran understood, "Since it won't affect us, then it's naturally the best."
Chida Hideo nodded, then glanced at the assistant beside him... The assistant understood, supported himself with his hands, moved forward, and respectfully handed over a document with both hands.
"Song, this is the list of cultural relics we prepared to return to your association. Please have a look. These are treasures we have painstakingly found from private collectors." Chida Hideo smiled and said, "I think you will be very interested."
In fact, the association has already reached a decision on whether or not to help the island countries obtain some rights and interests... There are voices of opposition, but those old guys are more eager to bring back the heritage of their ancestors.
After all, there are quite a few sects that survived until the revival of spiritual energy, and most of their inheritance has been cut off... It’s not that they can’t practice anymore, it’s just that they are currently in the bonus period of the revival of spiritual energy, and the future is worrying.
However, the government will not agree to grant [Qilin City] residency rights. At most, the surrounding satellite cities can demarcate some areas and transfer them in the name of [investment].
Song Haoran came here this time just to make the other party bleed more... Investment? This kind of national-level investment must at least come up with a project worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Otherwise, how can your island country call itself a developed country?——How should I trick Chida Hideo…
Mr. Song was looking at the list in his hand with a smile - at this moment, the phone suddenly vibrated, it was a text message from Princess Chuyang.
"Song Haoran, you must get the [Tiger Talisman] on the list."
——【Tiger Tally】?Song Haoran's heart trembled slightly.
He wore a pair of special glasses today, which could transmit images to Princess Chuyang - at first he just had a sudden thought and wanted to see if there were any ancient objects that Princess Chuyang, a super antique, could recognize.
I didn't expect there would be a surprise...
Something that could make Princess Chuyang care, and it was a military talisman - could this be the thing that Zheng Ge used back then?
But it seems that the word "Qin" is not engraved on it?

Saturday, noon.
In front of [Sunshine Welfare Home].
The car was parked aside, and Li Zi was helping to take the gifts down from the car - on the other side, Bai Zhi was doing the same job.
Zi Ling's mother hadn't been back to her parents' home for a long time, so she couldn't stop buying gifts once she started.
"As expected, this MVP business car is the best." Zi Ling's mother took the maid's arm affectionately, "Our You Ye can really help!"
The maid smiled and said, "I heard that this is a place similar to Sister Ren's mother's home. I know that in Shenzhou, the concept of mother's home is very important. It's great that I can help."
Listen, my future daughter-in-law speaks so nicely.
Zi Ling's mother took a deep breath and suddenly opened her arms towards the gate of the welfare home. "[Sunshine Welfare Home], I'm back!"
"Ms. Ren seems very happy." The maid said with a chuckle beside Luo Qiu.
Luo Qiu looked around and said, "The environment here is good, with beautiful scenery and clear water."
"Zi Ling! You're here!"
I saw a fifty-year-old woman, who came out hurriedly with a young girl and a man in his thirties... All three of them were wearing the clothes of welfare home caregivers.
"Sister Liu!" Zi Ling's mother came forward and hugged Liu Susu, and said bluntly: "Is the meal ready? I'm hungry!"
"You're already so grown up." Liu Susu laughed, "Why are you being so coquettish?"
"I'm just hungry!"
"I really can't stand you." Liu Susu smiled, "I'm ready a long time ago. Don't just stand there. Come on, come on, come in first!"
"By the way, where is the dean?" Zi Ling's mother asked curiously.
"She went out early in the morning." Sister Liu shook her head and said, "Really? You told me yesterday that you would come back a day early. I clearly told her that, but you still went out early in the morning!"
"Oh my, could something happen to the dean? Everyone around here knows her, don't worry!" Zi Ling's mother pushed Sister Liu forward, "Eat, eat, I haven't had the black bean duck you made for a long time, is there any today?!"
"Yes, yes, yes. I killed a duck for you early in the morning. I knew you would like it. I am so tired!"
"I'll give you a massage later~"
……
“Hello, just carry the things for us.” The young girl who came out with Sister Liu took the initiative to step forward and said, “It’s great that you came, and you bought so many things… Brother Bang, come and help carry the things!”
"Oh well."
Hearing this, the man in his thirties nodded, and then began to pick up the things on the ground without saying a word... His hands were not enough, so he even put them around his neck directly.
"Where are you going to take it?" Bango asked hesitantly at this time.
"…Take it inside first and put it in the inner room!" The girl said in a bossy manner, "Remember to lock the door and don't let the children steal food. They are very naughty!"
"Oh."
Bango turned around and stood up, looking a little funny, perhaps because he was carrying too many things.
The girl then apologized, "I'm sorry, that's Bangge... He's a bit slow, I heard he had a fever when he was a kid, and he's been like this ever since."
Luo Qiu didn't say anything, but simply responded: "Let's go in too."
"Okay, come with me." The girl glanced at the two parked cars quickly, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Cha Tiantian, and I'm a caregiver at the welfare home."
"Hello, Miss Cha." Luo Qiu also gave a brief introduction.
When he found out that Luo Qiu and Miss You Ye were engaged, Cha Tiantian was a little surprised, but he quickly reacted and praised them for being a match made in heaven.
While leading people into the house, Cha Tiantian enthusiastically introduced the welfare home and the anniversary events.
"If this is your first time here, I recommend that you go to the Lover's Beach in front if you are free tomorrow." Cha Tiantian suggested, "That is a scenic spot developed by our local government, and there are many entertainment projects there."
"Why is it called Lover's Beach?" Li Zi asked curiously, "Is there any local story behind it?"
Surprisingly, this time Li Zi did not rush to the dining area with Zi Ling's mother.
"Haha, it's not really a story, just some fictitious things made up by the old man." Cha Tiantian laughed and said, "In fact, it's mainly because the scenery in that area is beautiful, and there are many Metasequoia trees planted there... It just so happens that their leaves have turned red during this period, which is very beautiful."
"It seems worth taking a look." Li Zi seemed to have imagined the scene.
"You can also go to the old street in the town to stroll around. There are many local specialties, special snacks, etc...."
"Miss Cha." The maid asked curiously, "It feels so quiet here. How many children are there in the orphanage?"
"There are still about sixty of them." Cha Tiantian smiled and said, "It's quiet now because after lunch, our courtyard has a rule that the children should take a nap... Today, it's a little early."
"Is it because they want to entertain us?" Luo Qiu thought for a moment and said.
"Yes, Sister Liu started preparing a long time ago." Cha Tiantian nodded, "She is looking forward to your coming, especially Miss Ren."
Today's weather is actually not very good... In fact, after we walked out of [Qilin City], the weather started to get gloomy.
As the year draws to a close, the gloomy sky always makes people feel a slight chill.
On the way to the canteen of the welfare home, we passed by an old three-story house... It felt a bit like an elementary school teaching building many years ago.
Li Zi looked around casually, and as her eyes swept across, she saw children standing in front of the windows of the houses, looking in.
Li Zi gazed slightly, and the moment she looked back, she saw only the dark sky reflected on the window glass. Suddenly, a cold wind blew, making a sound of ding-dong-dong. That was the sound of the wind chimes hanging in the corridor of the house.
"Hey, you guys are so slow! If you don't come soon, I won't wait for you!" At this time, Zi Ling's mother was seen standing at the door of the cafeteria from a distance, shouting towards this side, "I want to eat something~"
Li Zi chuckled twice, then ran towards Ziling's mother like a guinea pig looking for food.
"Let's go in too." Luo Qiu glanced at the maid and smiled slightly.
"Ok."
Cha Tiantian, who was walking at the end, suddenly turned his head to look at the dormitory building… At the gatehouse at the entrance staircase of the dormitory building, he saw a thin old man with a slightly hunchback standing in the half-open door, looking in quietly.
The other party seemed to notice that Cha Tiantian was looking at him, and quickly closed the door again.
"wack."
Cha Tiantian muttered something, as if he shivered for no apparent reason, and hurried into the cafeteria.

[Qilin City]...In a yoga classroom.
Miss Ying, whose body looked like peaches were about to burst out, was using a yoga ball... Gan Hong, who was waiting outside the door, suddenly walked in.
"Miss, Miss Ren's car has stopped. This is the location."
Taking the tablet from Gan Hong, Song Ying heaved a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat off her face, and then zoomed in on the map on the tablet. "Hmm? Nanhe Township? This isn't near the southern area that our group is focusing on developing... Why is she going there?"
"Do you want to ask someone to go take a look?"
Song Ying thought for a moment and asked, "Does our company have anyone in Nanhe Township?"
"Yes, there is a construction site in the area right now." Gan Hong thought for a moment and said, "It is mainly to open up a road leading to a local scenic spot and increase the added value of the residential area to be developed in the future."
"Oh... I remembered something. There must be a lake nearby, right?"
Gan Hong thought for a moment and said, "[Lover's Beach]."
