Over in Heshan City, under the personal arrangements of Xia Hongyu, a strong woman, the preparations are almost complete.
Xia Hongyu told Shen Xing last time that she had always had the idea of diversifying and transforming her business, and now besides selling medical equipment, she has begun to get involved in the wood carving industry.
However, Shen Xing probably also understood that although Xia Hongyu intended to expand her business, she might not necessarily invest in wood carving, let alone choose herself.
The purpose of her cooperation with herself is very simple, and it contains a large part of repayment.
If Shen Xing hadn't helped him last time, if Feifei hadn't slept with her, there's no telling whether Xia Hongyu would still be alive now.
And after seeing Shen Xing's power and Feifei's strange operation that night, Xia Hongyu intuitively felt that they were not simple, so she also wanted to get closer to these two people.
The woodcarving shop set up by the Yungu City Public Security Department for Shen Xing closed down. Shen Xing shipped all the woodcarvings and workbenches in the shop, as well as the workbench at home, to Heshan City.
Although these two workbenches are old, they are of very good quality. In addition, one is his own and the other was left by Ye Ting. They have commemorative value, so Shen Xing will not take this opportunity to replace them.
Including all the original wood carvings contained in the package, he chose to have the express company come over to pack and ship these items the day before he left.
As for the remaining wood, all the valuable ones were sold as second-hand, and the low-value ones were kept. But the more precious ones, such as shadow wood, were packed away by Shen Xing.
The old house in Ivy Community had been completely renovated and moved in last week. Because the house belonged to Feifei, Shen Xing obtained the little guy's consent and listed it for rent instead of selling it.
In the next two days, Feifei went back to school to say goodbye to her teachers and classmates, and also brought a small gift to each teacher and several close classmates.
Shen Xing handled the transfer procedures for her.
All of this had to rely on Xia Hongyu's connections in the big city of Heshan. Soon a "Heshan Climbing School" accepted her transfer application. The school had strong teachers, but the tuition was relatively high.
However, Shen Xing had other plans. Transferring to another school was just a process to hide from others, not his purpose.
The day before leaving Yungu City, Shen Xing went to get together with his old classmate Hong Anjie, and later that day had dinner with Guo Tianzhi, Li Naijing and Zhao Wenbo.
Having Guo Tianzhi treat guests can be regarded as practicing for Shen Xing.
On the way to eat, Guo Tianzhi got up and went to the bathroom. Zhao Wenbo sighed softly and told Shen Xing that he might also be transferred to the special task force of Heshan City in the near future.
The people above said that they wanted to gather a group of key personnel to strengthen training and carry out work on the spot, but in Zhao Wenbo's view, his superiors have not trusted him since that incident, so he may have deliberately used this name to strengthen control over himself. and surveillance.
However, currently he has lost his passion for work while staying in Yungu City, so a change of environment seems to be a good choice.
The four of them drank some wine besides eating. Feifei kept reminding Shen Xing to drink less. She frowned, stared at her, and sometimes clasped her hands in front of her chest, looking like a little adult.
Guo Tianzhi came back from the bathroom, sat down and opened the wine partition, and said: "Actually, if you stay in Yungu, you will be more helpful to us. After you go to Heshan, there will be no place for heroes to play."
"Why?" Shen Xing asked curiously.
"I heard that there have been no unusual cases in Heshan for more than half a month?" Li Naijing took over.
"It's not half a month, it's..." Guo Tianzhi counted on his fingers, "It's been 35 days so far."
"Oh?" Shen Xing was surprised, "Did no abnormal cases be reported for 35 consecutive days, or did the special investigation team simply find no more abnormalities?"
Guo Tianzhi shook his head: "That's not too clear, and I also heard this news from my former colleagues in Heshan City. There is no official news in this regard."
"I feel it." Zhao Wenbo said at this time: "Not only in Heshan City, but also in our Yungu City, the number of abnormal cases seems to be decreasing. Sister Naijing, how many reports of suspected abnormal cases have we received this month?"
Li Naijing pondered for a moment and said: "Two, and one of them was eliminated yesterday."
Zhao Wenbo asked: "Is this the case where I always heard a woman crying at night?"
"Yes." Li Naijing nodded, "Next to the duty room where the case was reported is a water pump room. The water pump usually runs during the day. After the machine is turned off at night, it continues to return water. There is a whining sound in the water pipe. From a distance, it sounds like a person crying. .”
"The other case has not been determined yet." Guo Tianzhi said: "However, the conclusive evidence proving that it is an anomaly is not enough. More needs to be collected."
Li Naijing said: "According to my many years of experience, this case is not closely related to anomalies."
Shen Xing nodded: "If it is confirmed that it is not abnormal, it means that there will be no abnormal cases in Yungu City for a month."
"That's almost it." Li Naijing nodded.
After saying this, she poured herself a glass of wine. Before anyone else could raise their glasses, she drank it all in one gulp. Two blushes appeared on her cheeks. She said happily: "I really like this feeling of nothing unusual..."
When he finished speaking, he originally wanted to say something, but suddenly he was stunned. He didn't know what he thought of, so he didn't continue to speak, but became stunned.
"I can't use all my strength." Guo Tianzhi slapped the dining table, picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
Shen Xing looked at Zhao Wenbo, who shrugged and gave him an "I feel pretty good" look.
At this time, Feifei quietly came to Shen Xing's ear, lowered her voice very low, and said, "Uncle Shen, could this be the reason why the second uncle hasn't appeared for a long time?"
Shen Xing was suddenly startled, frowned and turned to look at Lin Feifei who looked serious.
After careful calculation, this seems to be the case.
If possible, Shen Xing is ready to try another day to see if this abnormal second-hand person will not appear again.
"Have these anomalies found their home?" Shen Xing secretly speculated.
After a table of wine and meat, everyone stood up and dispersed chattering, leaving the restaurant and walking to the street.
Guo Tianzhi kept lamenting that his ambitions were not fulfilled and his talents were buried.
Li Naijing hummed happily, enjoying the happy time without any abnormality.
Zhao Wenbo shook his head from time to time, feeling that he was being excluded. He didn't care much if there was anything unusual.
After being noisy along the way for a long time, Guo Tianzhi suddenly stopped. His face, which was as red as a monkey's butt, looked very serious. He burped for a long time, and then said after a long time: "If something goes wrong... there must be a monster! We must not ...You must not relax, you must be prepared for an abnormal explosion that may...may occur!"
"ah!"
"ah!"
"ah!"
Several others were stunned when they saw Guo Tianzhi, who was too drunk, fell down straight after saying these words impassionedly.
…
Although he drank, last night Feifei was watching like a little adult, and Shen Xing actually didn't drink much.
After getting up, the two took their easy-to-carry luggage and went straight to the high-speed rail station, while checking in all other things.
From Yungu City to Heshan City, there are a variety of transportation options to choose from, including airplanes, high-speed rail, and highways.
However, for such a short distance, air tickets are too expensive and uneconomical, and the highway always feels too slow, so most people basically choose to take the high-speed rail when going to the big city of Heshan.
It's not expensive, and it's extremely fast, not much slower than an airplane.
Arriving at the big city of Heshan seems to symbolize that Shen Xing and Feifei's future will get better and better. The warm sunshine in Heshan in winter makes them feel warm.
Feifei has been smiling since she left the high-speed rail station.
The two took a taxi according to the address Xia Hongyu sent to them and arrived at the most prosperous commercial area in the city. They found an address called Doctor's Senior Apartment, took the elevator to Room 702, and opened the room with the key Xia Hongyu had given them in advance. Door.
This kind of high-end apartment comes with decoration, and the decoration quality is between fine decoration and luxury decoration. It looks magnificent at first glance, and it is fully equipped with solid wood furniture. Feifei's big eyes have not blinked since entering the house.
Of course, according to Shen Xing's previous request, space was reserved for him to put two workbenches and wood carving display racks. The studio and bedroom are both located on the duplex floor.
Shen Xing measured it with his eyes and found that the duplex floor had enough space and did not have the depressing feeling that the duplex floors of other apartments bring to people.
Downstairs are the living room, dining room, kitchen and bathroom. The layout of the entire apartment is exquisite and beautiful, without any sense of compactness.
The two walked around the house inside and out. Xia Hongyu asked the servants to put all the clothes they had checked into the closet. Some yellowed and old clothes were stacked in a specific corner. , it is up to Shen Xing to decide whether to throw it away.
Not only that, both of them discovered the new clothes that Xia Hongyu had prepared for them. Shen Xing even saw two neatly arranged boxes of four pairs of underwear in the closet. The pants inside had all been cleaned and distributed. It emits bursts of fresh floral fragrance.
"I've only seen this kind of treatment in books." Feifei said.
"Me too." Shen Xing seemed to be talking to himself.
"I mean, no woman would buy underwear for a man for no reason." Feifei said seriously: "In the book "The Elegant Man", Mrs. Sun Qi once did something to impress her favorite boy, Ding Luwei. I gave him a set of underwear. As for you, you gave him eight pairs at once, so I think the situation is more serious."
"Who is Sun Qi?" Shen Xing asked.
"A widowed rich lady." Feifei replied.
"Where's Ding Luwei?" Shen Xing asked again.
"A bookstore owner whose business is tepid." Feifei answered again.
"Why do I feel like you are implying something?" Shen Xing said.
"No." Feifei said still seriously: "Sun Qi is widowed, but Aunt Xia is just divorced. Ding Luwei is the owner of a bookstore, but you open a wood carving shop. It's different, completely different."
"I don't see any difference." Shen Xing said with a smile: "In the future, we will watch less "Elegant People" and more "People who get rich through hard work" and "People who work harder, the luckier they get" and so on."
"I'll think about it." Feifei nodded.
The two of them packed their luggage in the house. After resting for a while, they received a call from Xia Hongyu and immediately got up and headed to Jinzun Commercial Plaza.
This commercial plaza is very close to the Doctor's Senior Apartment because it is just across the street.
The two calculated the time. If they walked faster, they could go downstairs from the apartment to the street, cross the pedestrian bridge, enter the mall, and then reach the third floor. The whole journey would only take fifteen minutes.
At this time, Xia Hongyu was standing next to the wood carving shop with the rolling shutter door half open, instructing the two employees in the shop to clean.
She was wearing an extremely majestic-looking white plush coat, high-heeled boots, and a pair of velvet dark gray slim-fitting pants. Her legs looked slender and well-proportioned, without any bloated feeling.
"Aunt Xia's dress is so beautiful. She looks like a rich lady." Feifei started to marvel before she even got close.
"Yes, she looks like a divorced rich wife." Shen Xing added for her.
Feifei covered her mouth and laughed, but she quickly put away her smile and asked seriously: "Uncle Shen, who is your favorite person? Aunt Ye Ting?"
"Well, it should be." Shen Xing nodded slowly and hesitantly.
At the same moment, the memory of Ye Ting came to his mind, but soon fragments of the dispute between the two flashed up. He couldn't remember what he was doing, and could only vaguely see Ye Ting roaring at him.
It seemed that after her ranting to no avail, Ye Ting's eyes turned resentful as she looked at her. After a while, she uttered three words from her mouth and rushed out the door.
These three words seem to be: I hate you.
"Huh? No!"
As if he could clearly gaze at the picture in his mind at this moment, Shen Xing was stunned for a moment and looked carefully at Ye Ting's lips.
After he concentrated on observing, Ye Ting's originally blurry face gradually became clearer, especially the lips that were speaking.
From Shen Xing's perspective now, the three words she said didn't seem to be "I hate you", but - "Stop looking for it".
"Stop looking for it!"
A sudden sound suddenly amplified several times in Shen Xing's ears, causing him to startle and come back to his senses.
She found that Xia Hongyu had seen herself and Feifei and was turning around to say hello.
"Aunt Xia!" Feifei ran over and hugged Xia Hongyu's thigh.
Xia Hongyu kissed her on the face. Although she was smiling happily, Shen Xing noticed that her smile was still a little uncomfortable.
Holding such a child who can tear a short-haired cat apart in the blink of an eye, no one can laugh so easily.
After a moment, Xia Hongyu raised her head and said: "The new store has been renovated. It has been open for two days. I didn't let anyone close the store until the wood carvings arrived yesterday. However, there is still some smell of decoration. Now I am asking the employees to clean the store. Hygiene, and put some more formaldehyde remover."
"Thank you for your hard work." Shen Xing nodded.
"What's the hard work? I'm an investor, and the money I make here is half of what I make. Of course, I have to do a better job." Xia Hongyu looked at him with a smile.
Then he added: "Is the store still called Tingwu? Or should we change it to another name?"
"Just call her by her original name." Shen Xing nodded.
"Okay, I'll have the store sign ready and delivered in the next two days."
Xia Hongyu didn't say much, and introduced two staff members in the store to Shen Xing. They were a man and a woman. The man was Guo Liangliang and the woman was Shao Qing.
Guo Liangliang is slightly chubby but tall, while Shao Qing has good features and a friendly smile, making him very suitable for a job as a store clerk.
"Boss Shen." The two said in unison.
Shen Xing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be boss, boss, just call me Brother Shen."
"Maybe Master Shen will do," Xia Hongyu joked from the side.
While Guo Liangliang and Shao Qing continued to work, she said to Shen Xing: "Today's Tingwu wood carving shop is positioned as a high-end collection, so not only the packaging must be elegant and pleasing to the eye, but also the price and taste of our works must be established."
"What do you mean, the price... is set?" Shen Xingchi asked.
"To make a tasting grade, let's divide it according to the tasting grade." Xia Hongyu said: "I will only give you a reference idea, and it is up to you to make the final decision. The tasting grade is divided into three levels: A, B, and C. From high to low, it is Grade A. Collection, Grade B exquisite products, Grade C exquisite products, what do you think?"
Shen Xing nodded and said it was okay. He didn't care. After all, it was just a title.
However, Shen Xing knew that the spiritual essence contained in each grade would definitely be different when carving in the future.
It is a collection-grade piece, and may reach a sky-high price of millions after its reputation is established. It's just that it also requires the support of a powerful spiritual essence.
