Chen Ning finally sent him a message, but he was in the mountainous southwest region at the time with poor signal and didn’t receive it. 。Their Equipment Development Department has research and development bases all over the country. This time, they came to the southwest mainly to build the 10th R&D base. He came here to select a site and start construction. 。These R&D bases are confidential, so they are all designated by Arabic numerals. It is difficult for outsiders to guess what they are developing from the code. 。He has been here for almost a week, and the address was just confirmed. 。Back in the city at night, I saw her message. It was like a work report, mainly briefly outlining her main work arrangements for the past few days. At the end, she added: “I put my phone in the hotel when I’m working, so you can send me messages anytime and it won’t affect my work. I’ll reply when I see them.” 。”It’s silly, who would want to see her post these things?
Song Jingye also replied: “I know, I’m on a business trip outside, the signal is sometimes bad, and I can’t reply immediately, but I will reply as soon as I see your message.” 。”
Don’t look down on anyone, everyone is too serious.” 。Just as I sent it, Chen Ling’s video request came through. 。After the connection, her smiling face appeared on the screen. Song Jingye couldn’t help but smile and asked:
“Are you not busy today?”
Usually, when they didn’t contact each other and couldn’t see each other, it was fine. Once they saw each other, his heart would feel empty thinking of her. 。Well, there are no meetings this afternoon, we have half a day off. 。Chen Ling returned to that side just as dusk was settling in. The light held a hint of golden haze, and the foreign architecture flickered past her. 。”Are you outside?” he asked. 。”Yes, Teacher Zhang from our office brought me and Xu Haichen out for a meal.” 。Chen Ling was in high spirits, happy to have a half-day off. Her leader allowed them
to do whatever they wanted. 。Don’t go too far. 。”You know, it’s only two streets away from our hotel here, very close.” 。Chen Ling replied. 。Answer 。This street is a landmark of the city, with many tourists from all over the world gathering here. You’ll also encounter quite a few Chinese compatriots along the way. 。
Chen Ling turned the camera back, pointing it at the street scene outside for him to see. 。As a result, the scene changed, and the first shot that appeared was Xu Haichen stopping to look back and wait for her. 。Song Jingye let out a cold snort here, “You really know how to cause trouble.” 。Chen Ling smiled and said, “Let me show you the view here.” 。”
Uninterested in the scenery, he switched the camera back. ” 。”Song Jingye ordered,” 。
“Good” 。She just switched cameras and Mr. Zhang in front called her: “Linghui, hurry up, don’t get lost!” 。”Uncle, I’ll hang up first. ” 。”Just hang out” 。Song Jingye could feel her happiness even through the screen, and he was happy for her too. 。Chen Ling quickly walked a few steps to catch up with Teacher Zhang and Xu Haocheng. 。Teacher Zhang asked, “Boyfriend?”
“Hmm” 。”
“It’s great” 。Only the young can smile so brightly and happily over such small things. 。Xu Haochen stood by the wishing pool in the center of the square in front, with a backpack on his shoulders, lost in thought. 。”Do you have any coins? Give me one,” he said, turning to Chen Ning. 。Chen Ning of course didn’t 。Teacher Zhang handed each of them a coin: “Though we can’t engage in feudal superstition, we can still experience it.” 。Chen Ning took the coin, tossed it into the center of the pool. Her greatest wish was for Song Jingye’s safety. 。Xu Haichen also flipped a coin, causing ripples to spread across the water and sparkling with golden light. 。。Family health 。He answered <<< 。
Teacher Zhang smiled: “Why do you two make such old-fashioned wishes? I thought young people like you would make more romantic ones.” 。”Health and well-being are the foundation of all things.” 。Chen Ling replied. 。There are also quite a few tourists here making wishes by putting coins into the machines, and there are many Chinese people among them. 。
Teacher Zhang treated the three of them to a meal at a restaurant beside the wishing pool today. 。> The food took a long time to arrive. While the three of them waited, they mainly chatted, with Ms. Zhang sharing her experiences from years of overseas assignments. As she spoke, she expressed her feelings: “Our profession is just given a halo by the state. Many colleagues, like me, just do it for a living and perform some tedious tasks.” 。Sometimes when I think about home, I also want to give up and go back to a stable job. But if I really quit, I would be reluctant. 。After all, they have passed through numerous trials and tribulations to get here. The sense of honor that comes with this profession is something that no other job can replace. 。Chen Ling and Xu Haocheng listened, nodding from time to time. This was the heartfelt words of their seniors, reflecting the reality of a large number of colleagues: living ordinary lives, persevering, and achieving glory. 。After chatting for a while, the food arrived. Halfway through our meal, I suddenly saw outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, by the wishing pool, the crowd erupted like a pot had been blown up, scattering everywhere, each face etched with terror. 。Because of the glass windows, it was very soundproof, so Chen Ning didn’t know what had happened outside. She only saw expressions of terror running past the window. 。Every intersection of the square was blocked as if. The people who were originally running around, went crazy and ran in the same direction. There were the elderly, children, young people, those who fell down, and those who were trampled. 。No one knew what was happening outside until a few people rushed into the restaurant for refuge. They said there had been a terrorist attack in the square ahead. 。At this point, faint gunfire and the smell of gunpowder could be heard from outside within the restaurant. 。Teacher Zhang acted decisively and, in French, shouted at the waiter, “Turn off all the lights in the restaurant immediately, pull down all the curtains, and lock the door!” 。At this moment, the restaurant waiter seemed stunned, at a loss of what to do. 。Chen Ninghui and Xu Haichen reacted quickly. Xu Haichen flew to pull the curtains, while Chen Ninghui ran towards the door to close it. 。
The streets were still filled with people running and screaming in terror. 。Gunshots grew closer, screams tore through the air, and a car sped towards them from the square. From afar, they could see several men in black standing on top of it, firing their guns wildly. 。Everyone sprinted with all their might, racing against death. 。Upon seeing this, Chen Ning’s face turned pale, her whole body trembling. The sound of gunfire and the whistling bullets grew closer and closer. 。Just as she was about to lock the door, she suddenly saw a five or six-year-old Chinese child standing in the middle of the road, crying loudly. He seemed to have been separated from his relatives. His hair was messy, one shoe was missing, and his clothes were torn. 。He stood in the middle of the road, the car roaring and about to rush over him, bullets ricocheting off the ground and sparking. 。If it is any later, that child will undoubtedly die. 。Chen Ning gritted her teeth, didn’t care so much anymore, rushed out, grabbed the child and ran towards the dining room. 。That was like running a race against death. When she ran back, it seemed like pieces of bullets had gotten lodged in her feet, the pain was excruciating. 。In the instant she pulled her child back into the restaurant, she felt her whole body go limp and leaned against the door, gasping for breath. 。
