In the evening, Jiang Ning sent Xue Yuantong home. He took out his mobile phone and dialed Shao Shuangshuang:
"Is Huaicheng's truck ready?"
"Let him wait by the lake. I'll send you my phone number right away." Shao Shuangshuang said. Jiang Ning rarely asked her to do things. Once there was a request, she would put down what she was doing and try her best to make arrangements for Jiang Ning.
"I asked someone about the Huqishan villa you mentioned last time. It has been selected. The price is about thirteen million. With the company's current funds, it can be bought. Do you want to take the time to go and take a look?"
"No, you decide."
"There are still three types of materials you want to collect. Currently, we have information on two types and are negotiating for them."
"Intensify our efforts and strive to complete the collection before purchasing the villa." Jiang Ning said.
"OK."
"The market analyst I hired gave a report saying that the number of bald people and the rate of baldness is growing. He said that in the future due to the popularity of the mobile Internet and the real estate industry, there will be more and more rich people. Not only is it not recommended to grow
Qingye lowered the price, but instead suggested selling it at a higher price, or even hiring a group of scalpers to raise the price and create a hot sales phenomenon." Shao Shuangshuang said.
"You decide." Jiang Ning didn't know much about these things, so it was all decided by Shao Shuangshuang. All he wanted was money.
Seeing that Jiang Ning was not having a good time talking, Shao Shuangshuang did not interrupt anymore and hung up the phone.
She sat in a separate office, opened the files, and began to read them one by one. The company was just established and there were too many things to be busy with.
Before Jiang Ning left the rental house, she took a Qi Gathering Pill and was about to leave.
Xue Yuantong ran out wearing Little Bear cotton slippers: "Jiang Ning, it's so late and it's so cold outside, are you still going out?"
Jiang Ning smiled: "It's okay, I'll be back soon."
"Really?"
"Of course." Jiang Ning walked towards the dam, his consciousness observing Xue Yuantong until he was a hundred meters away, he used the Qi Concealing Technique to hide his body, and then rushed towards Huaicheng.
After hearing the news about Bi Lingmu in Tieba a few days ago, he was always thinking about it and wanted to go to the lake to have a look and settle the matter as soon as possible.
At night, at 10:45, Jiang Ning arrived in Huaicheng, entered the park, and came to the lake.
The moonlight is good tonight, and the moon is reflected on the lake, as if you can reach out and catch the moon in the water.
The lake is a lake in the city. It is not large in area. The lake is oval in shape and is two to three kilometers long and wide.
It was late at night, and it was winter again. The park was extremely quiet, with no one out for a walk, which was perfect for Jiang Ning to search.
Jiang Ning activated the 'Water Control Technique' and stepped toward the lake. He actually stood on the water. He opened his consciousness and explored the bottom of the lake.
A few days ago, Jiang Ning broke through the third level of Qi training, and his spiritual consciousness increased a lot. He is now 120 meters away.
Once the spiritual consciousness is detected, it is like a radar submerged in the lake, and everything in the lake is clear to the mind.
Jiang Ning walked forward, and her consciousness quickly passed by. The lake in the city was not very deep, and the deepest point was less than six meters.
The consciousness was like a net, scraping in the lake. Ten minutes later, Jiang Ning stood on top of the northwest corner of the lake.
He closed his eyes to relieve the stinging pain between his eyebrows, which was the sequelae of using too much spiritual consciousness in a short period of time.
After taking a short rest, a red light appeared in Jiang Ning's palm and turned into a spear. He tapped lightly and the red spear pierced into the lake water and rushed towards the bottom of the lake.
At the bottom of the dark water, a wooden board was buried in the mud. The red light circled around the board and pulled it upward. This piece of wood, which had been sleeping for countless years, lifted up the mud and made the lake water turbid.
The board quickly floated to the surface, and Jiang Ning cast another spell to remove the silt on the surface.
I saw that the wooden board showed a deep blue color.
"It is indeed Bi Lingmu." Jiang Ning said to herself.
Bi Ling wood is one of the most important materials for refining the spirit boat. He didn't give much hope at first, and even planned to use other wood instead. Who really expected to find it today.
He took the green silk wood back to the shore and cast another spell to remove the moisture from it.
Jiang Ning then contacted a truck to send the Biling wood back to the factory in Yuzhou.
…
On the way back, Jiang Ning pushed the speed to the extreme. He was far behind the cars on the highway.
At 11:50, Jiang Ning rushed to the door of his house and used his spiritual power to tidy up his clothes. He was surprised to find Xue Yuantong standing at the door.
Xue Yuantong was wearing a hood, with his hands in his pockets and his eyes bright.
"Jiang Ning, you are finally back!"
"You're too slow, come in quickly."
She went up and grabbed Jiang Ning's arm, leading him into the house.
Jiang Ning originally wanted to use his spiritual sense to detect something fishy in the house, but he gave up and searched for Bi Lingmu today. His spiritual sense was already exhausted, and the detection with his spiritual sense was not as clear as what he could see with his eyes.
He followed Xue Yuantong into the house, passed through the main room, and arrived at Xue Yuantong's small room.
Different from usual, Xue Yuantong's room was actually decorated with two warm-colored lamp strips. What attracted attention was that there was a small round table beside the bed.
A small puffed white blanket lay on the table.
Xue Yuantong closed the door, put her little hands on both sides of the blanket, and shouted:
"look!"
Lifting it up, a delicate box came into view. In the transparent box, there was a piece of fruit cream cake.
"Happy birthday, Jiang Ning!" She pinched her waist and looked like she was about to praise me.
"How come you remember my birthday?" Jiang Ning was a little surprised. She looked at the cake and then at her.
"As you wrote on QQ, I calculated the date specially and today is your birthday!" Xue Yuantong said.
Jiang Ning was silent for half a second and suddenly recalled that today is his birthday...
The word birthday seems so far away to Jiang Ning that he has forgotten it.
In the past, it was only Jiang Ning who celebrated other people's birthdays. I didn't expect that this year, there would be such a surprise.
He looked at Xue Yuantong, sighed, and said:
"Thanks."
Xue Yuantong said hurriedly: "Don't thank me, hurry up and eat the cake. Your birthday will be over in ten minutes!"
She dexterously inserted the candle, lit it, blew it out, and started eating, all in one go.
The two squatted at the small table, very close to each other. Jiang Ning activated his magic power to envelope Xue Yuantong with warmth.
Xue Yuantong cut a piece of cake, gave it to Jiang Ning, and then cut a piece himself.
Jiang Ning took a few bites and found that the cake was slightly warm.
He hadn't finished one piece, but Xue Yuantong had already eaten three pieces. His mouth was covered with chocolate and cream, and he didn't even know to wipe it off before continuing to stuff it into his mouth.
Jiang Ning was a little relieved to see Xue Yuantong remembering his birthday. The way he looked at her now was really...
'Do you want to celebrate my birthday, or do you want to eat the cake yourself?'
Seeing Jiang Ning stop talking, Xue Yuantong asked strangely: "Eat, why don't you eat?"
"If you don't eat it, I'll finish it."
Jiang Ning picked up a piece of cream and rubbed it on her face deliberately.
Xue Yuantong didn't care, he was very excited about the food.
In the end, Jiang Ning only ate one piece of the birthday cake.
