Chapter 42 Trip to the Capital
Chapter 42 Trip to the Capital
Lin Xi packed her things and felt like she was hungry. She had to find something to eat.
Lin Xi went upstairs and saw Lin's mother and Lin Tian in the living room.
"Sister, where have you been? No one answered my phone calls."
Lin Xi touched her pocket and found that her cell phone was not on her body.
"My mobile phone should be in the bedroom. I was unraveling rocks down there and lost track of time. Mom, is there anything to eat? I'm so hungry."
"You kid, you can't forget to eat when you're busy. I've left some food for you in the kitchen. I'll heat it up for you. You go take a shower first. You're covered in ashes."
Only then did Lin Xi notice that her body was covered in calcite dust, and she quickly went upstairs to take a shower. By the time she came downstairs after taking a shower, Mother Lin had already heated up the food, and she picked up the bowl and started taking a big bite.
At this time, Lin Tian came over mysteriously and whispered: "Sister, let's discuss something."
"what's up?"
"I want to go to the capital."
"Why are you going to the capital?"
"There will be a cyberspace security technology competition in Beijing in two days. I want to go and watch it."
"Then go ahead, you're already so old."
"But mom won't let me go, saying it's too far. You can talk to mom."
"Okay, I'll tell mom later."
"Sister, you are the best. Mom will listen to you now."
After Lin Xi finished eating, Lin's mother was still watching TV in the living room. Lin Xi came over and sat next to Lin's mother.
"Mom, I heard Xiaotian said he wants to go to the capital, just let him go."
"His feet are just nimble and he wants to run around."
When Lin Tian heard what Lin's mother said, he looked at Lin Xi pitifully.
"In the worst case, I'll go with him."
"Yes, yes, my sister will go with me, please, Mom."
Mother Lin saw that Lin Tian really wanted to go, and Lin Xi was accompanying her, so she finally agreed.
"Your sister will accompany you, and you have to take good care of your sister."
"That's for sure, Mom, I will definitely protect my sister."
Lin Tian and Lin Xi secretly exchanged glances.
Lin Xi: Okay, success.
Lin Tian: It has to be my sister.
The cyberspace security technology competition is the day after tomorrow. The two siblings decided to leave tomorrow. Lin Xi booked her flight tickets online and went back to her room to rest.
Lin Xi took out the piece of waxy flower, took a photo and sent it to Father Zheng. Just 30 seconds after sending it, Father Zheng called.
"Hey, Xixi, do you want to take action on this piece of waxy flower?"
"Ah."
"I see that although the material in the photo is just glutinous, it is larger in size and can be made into an ornament. My godfather will buy it for you for 20 yuan. What do you think?"
"No problem, then I will bring the materials to your company early tomorrow morning."
After discussing with Father Zheng, Lin Xi went to bed.
......
"Morning, Tiantian."
"Good morning host."
"I want to sign in."
"Ding, on the 31st day of signing in, you will be rewarded with a courtyard in the capital."
Then a key appeared in front of Lin Xi.
"Tiantian, are you worried that I won't have a place to stay when I go to the capital?"
"Who is worried about you?"
Lin Xi: Oh, quite arrogant.
There are not many courtyard houses in the capital now, and the area rewarded by the system is not small, worth 2.3 million. In the future, she will also own a house in the capital, and Lin Xi is accustomed to the system's timely and considerate operation.
After signing in, Lin Xi quickly packed up and went downstairs. After a simple breakfast, she took Lin Tian to Father Zheng's company. She was going to give the ingredients to Father Zheng and then went directly to the airport. Lin Tian yawned all the way. For days.
"You didn't sleep well last night?"
"Sister, I was a little excited at the thought of going to the capital last night. I didn't fall asleep until very late. I'm so sleepy now."
"Let's take a nap on the plane later."
Lin Xi quickly took Zheng's father's company downstairs, "You wait for me in the car, I'll take you up and come down."
Under the guidance of her secretary, Lin Xi easily found Zheng's father's office. She pushed the door open and found Zheng Tian inside.
"Godfather, Tiantian."
"Xixi, come and sit quickly."
Lin Xi sat down and took out the ingredients. Father Zheng started to read them immediately.
Zheng Tian came over and said, "Is this the material you bought at the Stone Gambling Conference?"
"Yes."
"I see you bought six yuan in total. Is it a loss?"
"No, I also found a piece of spring ice with color, and a piece of high ice with no color. I plan to keep it to make some jewelry." Lin Xi did not say anything about the glass cockscomb red and imperial green.
"Do I need to provide you with a designer and engraver?"
"No need, I've already found someone." He has already obtained the master sculptor level and doesn't need anyone else.
"Okay, let's go shopping in the afternoon."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to go. I'll fly to the capital in a while."
"Why are you going to the capital?"
"Watch a game with Xiaotian."
"Okay, let's make an appointment when you come back."
Father Zheng was also optimistic that the material was good, so he immediately transferred the money to Lin Xi. He originally wanted to keep Lin Xi for a while, but saw that she was anxious and let her go.
When they arrived at the airport, the siblings got their boarding passes, passed the security check, and boarded the plane directly at about the same time. On the plane, Lin Tian fell asleep, and Lin Xi took out her mobile phone and connected it to the wireless network on the plane.
Three and a half hours later, the plane landed at Beijing Airport. It was still early, so the siblings took a taxi and went straight to the courtyard.
This morning, when Lin Tian knew that her sister had a courtyard house in the capital, she thought her sister was joking. When Lin Tian stood at the door of the courtyard, Lin Tian's jaw almost dropped in shock.
Lin Xi took out the key and opened the door. The courtyard was quite well preserved, but some modern electrical appliances could still be seen, which should have been added by the previous owner.
"Why are you standing there stupidly at the door? Come in."
Lin Tian reacted and quickly followed Lin Xi.
"Sister, when did you buy the courtyard house?"
"I bought it before." Lin Xi didn't say that this was a reward she only got this morning.
Lin Xi went to the room first and took a look. There were sheets, duvet covers and everything, which was more convenient. It was also very clean. It must have been cleaned and there was a place to stay tonight.
The two siblings each chose a room, put their luggage away, and went out to find food.
Before coming to the capital, Lin Xi had already decided that she must try the authentic Beijing roast duck, so she found one of the most famous old restaurants on the Internet, Quanjuxiang.
When the two of them arrived at the store, there were still many people eating. The waiter arranged a seat in the lobby for the two of them. They ordered a set of roast duck and some Beijing snacks.
After the meal, the two siblings were very happy. The roast duck tasted very authentic, and the snacks were also good. Both of them had bloated stomachs by the end of the meal.
After eating too much, the two decided to go shopping. This was the brother and sister's first visit to the capital. They planned to be tourists for an afternoon and wanted to see Tiananmen Square. Since it was not morning, they could not see the flag-raising ceremony. Immediately afterwards, the two went to the Forbidden City. The Forbidden City was so big that it was already five o'clock when they came out from the tour.
"Sister, where are you going now?"
"I'm going to watch the game tomorrow. I won't go shopping today. Let's go back to the courtyard."
The two took a taxi back to the Siheyuan. They had not looked carefully when they first arrived. This time Lin Xi saw some cars with special license plates passing by on the road to the Siheyuan. When they arrived, Lin Xi discovered that there was something like this not far from the Siheyuan. It is a military compound, and it can be said that living here is very safe.
