At noon, the Daqie driven by Zuo Yi stopped at the Jiangsu Expressway Service Station.
The biggest advantage of self-driving travel is that you can go and stop when you want. You don't need to catch up on the itinerary. You are led by planes and trains. Although the speed is a bit slower, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way at any time.
Of course, Tyke, who is inseparable from Bao'er, is one of the reasons why Zuo Yi chose to travel by car, because pets cannot be taken on planes and high-speed trains, and it is too troublesome to check them in.
The Jiangsu North Service Station on the Beijing-Hangzhou Expressway is an Internet celebrity attraction. The exterior of the service station is very characteristic of Jiangsu Province. The white walls and black tiles are full of ancient charm. When you walk inside, you feel like you have traveled through time and space, and suddenly arrived hundreds of years ago.
.
Xiaoqiaoliushui Renjia, this high-speed service station has "moved" the most elite part of an ancient town inside, with pavilions and pavilions, shop buildings, and trousers wearing t-shirts trying hard to attract business under the guise of signboards.
In addition to local snacks from Jiangsu Province, there are also a variety of north and south delicacies here. Whether it is salty, sweet or spicy, you can find something you like.
"Dad, I want this and this!"
Bao'er was dazzled. He wanted to try this one when he saw it looked delicious, and wanted to try that one when he saw it was delicious.
Of course Zuo Yi is buying, buying, buying.
Anyway, no matter how much she buys, Foodie Tai can destroy it completely and make sure not to waste any food, so she can choose whatever she wants.
The service station was crowded with people. Like Zuo Yi, many people deliberately chose to have lunch here, and some even came here specifically to experience it.
Among everyone, the combination of Zuo Yi, Gu Yunxi and Bao'er is particularly eye-catching.
The man is tall and handsome, the woman is beautiful, the little girl is pretty and cute, and the family of three is very good-looking. They look more comfortable and harmonious than the celebrity families in those variety shows.
Someone secretly filmed them with a mobile phone.
Of course Zuo Yi was aware of it, but he didn't care. This time he took Bao'er out to have fun.
The little girl's foodie nature showed up. She tasted more than a dozen kinds of snacks and delicacies, and she was satisfied until her belly was full.
After having lunch, the three of them continued on their way.
For the remainder of the trip, Zuo Yi did not stop along the way and drove all the way to the capital along the highway.
Baoer also slept for several hours holding Tyke.
After several modifications to Zuo Yi's Daqi, in addition to adding a lot of high-tech equipment, the interior comfort has also been greatly improved. After the rear seats are put down, it becomes a comfortable bed, which is very suitable for traveling.
When we arrived in the capital, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
What Zuo Yi didn't expect was that when he brought Gu Yunxi and Bao'er to the lobby of the hotel they booked, he would actually see Xia Yunqi waiting there!
The Seven Star Emperor Hotel that Zuo Yi stayed at was located in Beijing's Second Ring Road. The last time he brought Bao'er to the capital, he also stayed at this hotel, but it was booked by the Qin family for him.
This time Zuo Yi made the reservation by himself and did not tell the young apprentice in advance.
"Kiki!"
Bao'er didn't think too much, and was extremely surprised when he saw his good friend.
"Baoer!"
Xia Yunqi held her hand tightly, and the two little guys were happy to see each other again after a long separation.
"Hello, Chief Zuo."
Xia Yunqi was not alone. She was accompanied by a gentle middle-aged man, who said respectfully: "I am Xia Hongze, Qiqi's uncle. It's an honor to meet you."
Zuo Yi shook hands with him: "Hello."
Polite but distant.
Although Xia Yunqi's uncle seemed to be talented and temperamental, Zuo Yi didn't have much favorable impression of him.
Xia Yunqi is a true bloodline of the Xia family. Her mother is Qin Wuyang's niece, and her father is a direct member of the royal family. However, the Xia family dislikes her very much, and she has always lived a life of dependence on others in the Qin family.
As Xia Yunqi's uncle, when Xia Yunqi's father passed away, he did not assume the responsibility of taking care of his niece. How could he make Zuo Yi like her?
Xia Yunqi is a very sensible and well-behaved child, even better than Bao'er.
Zuo Yi's cold attitude made Xia Hongze very embarrassed. He wanted to say something but didn't dare.
At this time, Zuo Yi's attention was no longer on the other party. He noticed that there were many people beside him, and one of them was Ye Yingxue!
Zuo Yi suddenly realized.
With his current status, his every move must be watched, so it is normal for these "local snakes" from the capital to appear in the hotel he booked.
"Miss Ye."
Zuo Yi walked over and said to Ye Yingxue: "It's already very late. Let's talk about anything tomorrow."
This time Zuo Yi came to the capital. In addition to bringing Bao'er to meet Xia Yunqi, he mainly discussed the Thunder Stone deal with Qin Wuyang.
And Ye Yingxue is now Qin Wuyang's representative, especially when meeting with Zuo Yi, her presence is always indispensable.
Zuo Yi had always suspected that Qin Wuyang had some misunderstanding, but he was too shy to ask.
"OK."
Ye Yingxue said quickly: "Chief Zuo, I will contact you tomorrow. If you need anything, please let me know."
As she said that, she couldn't help but secretly glance at Gu Yunxi who was following Zuo Yi.
The relationship between Gu Yunxi and Zuo Yi is already well known in Daxia's upper-class circles. Zuo Yi was so angry because of Gu Yunxi that he almost overturned the Gu family and made the Fan family pay the price.
As the sweet daughter of the Ye family, Ye Yingxue knew very well that she and Zuo Yi would have nothing to do with each other, but when she saw Gu Yunxi who had "conquered" Zuo Yi, the Alpha strongman, she could not help but feel a bit of comparison.
Gu Yunxi keenly noticed Ye Yingxue's eyes and smiled slightly at her.
Ye Yingxue immediately blushed.
After sending Ye Yingxue and others away, Zuo Yi said to Xia Hongze: "Mr. Xia, you should also go back. Let Qiqi stay here at night."
He did not use a discussion tone, but directly told the other party his decision.
Xia Hongze actually wanted to get close to Zuo Yi, otherwise he wouldn't have waited here with Xia Yunqi for several hours.
But Zuo Yi obviously didn't want to see him, so he could only say sarcastically: "Okay, okay."
Zuo Yi was too lazy to pay attention to Xia Yunqi's uncle and went to the front desk to check in.
He booked two rooms, one of which was a deluxe suite. It would be no problem to accommodate one more Qiqi.
The two little guys can sleep together at night and talk more.
When Zuo Yi finished the formalities and brought Gu Yunxi and the two little girls to the room, he received a call from Qin Wuyang.
The two made an appointment on the phone to meet tomorrow.
