Imperial Capital, western suburbs, in a factory workshop.
"Master, this is what you want." A man in a white robe handed a stalactite to Lin Zhiming.
Lin Zhiming took the stalactite over.
Stalactite is just the name Lin Zhiming gave this thing because it looks too much like a stalactite.
After taking it, Lin Zhiming felt a chill, which was not as strong as the extremely cold ice spring.
"Is this the product of alien civilization?" Dong Jian couldn't help but ask. Lin Zhiming had already told him about the origin of the stalactites. Now that he saw this thing with his own eyes, Dong Jian still felt a little strange in his heart.
"Yes!" Lin Zhiming nodded, then looked at the men in front of him and asked, "Is the water source ready?"
"Well, everything is ready. Master, please come with me!" the subordinate said, turning around and leading Lin Zhiming into a nearby room.
The room is not big. There are large stones placed on the floor. A pit is cut out in the middle of the stone. Above the pit is a round hole. The size of the round hole is exactly the same as the convex hole on the stalactite.
Same as above.
Lin Zhiming walked under the round hole and inserted the protruding part of the stalactite into the round hole.
With a click, the stalactites clicked together instantly.
Then, Lin Zhiming's men walked aside and pressed the switch that conveyed the water flow.
After a few seconds, a drop of water condensed on the tip of the stalactite.
Everyone's expressions became excited. After all, this was the first test of stalactites. If successful, it means that stalactites can be continuously produced in the future.
Tick tock!
The water droplets on the stalactite finally fell into the pits of the stone.
"Is that it?" Dong Jian asked.
Lin Zhiming nodded and said, "This is the same as what I saw in the Xiansheng Clan. This extremely cold ice spring is very magical and will not condense on its own, but when a living organism touches it, the living body will be instantly
Freezing."
As he spoke, Lin Zhiming reached out and put his finger on the drop of water.
An extremely frightening chill instantly poured into Lin Zhiming's body. However, at that moment, a warmth appeared in Lin Zhiming's body, dispelling the chill.
"That's right, it's the extremely cold ice spring! We succeeded!" Lin Zhiming said excitedly.
"Can I touch it?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"One drop should be fine. Just put your hand under the stalactite." Lin Zhiming said.
Dong Jian nodded and stretched his hand under the stalactite.
Slowly, another drop of extremely cold ice spring appeared, and then fell into Dong Jian's palm.
With a snap, the extremely cold ice spring quickly spread out after touching Dong Jian's hand, and then disappeared.
Dong Jian suddenly withdrew his hand and shuddered all over.
"Good ice!" Dong Jian said with a trembling body. At the same time, Dong Jian's entire palm turned blue and purple in an instant.
"Hurry up and put your hands in your crotch to warm them up." Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
Naturally, Dong Jian would not put his hand into his crotch. He stretched his hand to his armpit. After leaving it there for a while, the temperature of his hand slowly returned to normal.
"It's terrible. Water of this temperature has never been seen before." Dong Jian said with lingering fear.
"Even if you are a warrior at the Saint level, once you fall into the extremely cold ice spring, you will only die!" Lin Zhiming said.
"If we could collect enough extremely cold ice springs and create a water gun that could shoot at extremely cold ice springs, wouldn't the lethality be comparable to that of a laser gun?" Dong Jian said.
"That would be too wasteful, and before you even shoot, a super expert can predict and dodge. It's a waste." Lin Zhiming shook his head.
"That's right!" Dong Jian nodded.
"This one is dripping here first, and more raw materials will be sent later. All you have to do is to make those raw materials into stalactites. The more the better, understand?" Lin Zhiming said to the men around him.
"I know, Master!" His subordinate nodded.
"Dong Jian, let's go." Lin Zhiming said, leading Dong Jian out.
Arriving outside the factory, Lin Zhiming and Dong Jian got into a car. Dong Jian was responsible for driving, while Lin Zhiming sat in the back seat.
"Master, I just received news that the Li family has invested a huge amount of money to acquire the best imperial green jadeite on the market. It seems that they also want to get a share of this matter." Dong Jian said while driving.
"It seems that Li Xin still doesn't give up, but this is good. It takes a lot of effort to clean up the Li family. He has to jump into the pit of imperial green jade, which saves us a lot.
Something." Lin Zhiming said.
"According to the current trend, the network can be closed after the year." Dong Jian said.
"After the New Year? It's almost here." Lin Zhiming looked out the window with a smile.
There has been no snow in the Imperial Capital in the past few days. The weather is very good, but a little dry.
"Dong Jian, will you still be alone during the Chinese New Year this year?" Lin Zhiming suddenly asked.
"Isn't it always like this?" Dong Jian said with a smile.
"You're almost old now, and it's time to think about life-long matters." Lin Zhiming said.
"If you don't get married, you won't have children. If you don't have children, you don't have to think about the future and can concentrate on helping you, the head of the family. That's great," Dong Jian said.
"What you said makes me don't know how to answer it." Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
At this moment, Lin Zhiming's cell phone suddenly rang.
The call was from Huang Tingjun.
Lin Zhiming seemed to have expected something. He picked up the phone and asked directly, "Has the wedding date been set?"
"How do you know?" Huang Tingjun asked in surprise.
"How else can we say we are brothers?" Lin Zhiming said.
"It's like this. Mengjie and I plan to get the certificate first, and then go on a trip during the Chinese New Year to get married." Huang Tingjun said.
"Aren't we going to have a banquet?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Mengjie doesn't think it's necessary, so I'll listen to her," Huang Tingjun said.
"Okay, you can do whatever you want. It's your business anyway." Lin Zhiming said.
"Thank you, Zhiming, thank you for supporting us." Huang Tingjun said with emotion.
"Don't thank me, be nice to my sister, she has suffered enough." Lin Zhiming said.
"Yeah!" Huang Tingjun nodded.
After the two chatted casually for a few words, Lin Zhiming hung up the phone.
"It's time to celebrate the New Year again!" Lin Zhiming put the phone aside and stretched.
“When I was young, what I looked forward to the most was the New Year, because during the New Year, I could buy new clothes, eat delicious food, take a vacation, and get New Year’s money. Now, it seems that I have no expectations for the New Year, except that I am getting older.
Not much changes year after year," Dong Jian said with a smile.
"That's because you have always been alone, with no reference around you, so you always feel that nothing has changed. Look at me, I have two children. After this year, my two children will be two years old.
Children are growing up day by day, and with these two references, my feelings are different from yours." Lin Zhiming said.
"Will the young master and the young lady celebrate the New Year together this year?" Dong Jian asked.
"Yes." Lin Zhiming nodded. Gu Feiyan and Yao Jing had put aside their grudges and formed an alliance. Naturally, they wanted to spend this year together.
"The head of the family enjoys the blessings of everyone, which is enviable." Dong Jian said with a smile.
"You are so envious. As long as you raise your finger, there are many girls in the imperial capital who are willing to form a group to serve you. It's just that you're a poor guy." Lin Zhiming said.
Dong Jian smiled and looked ahead.
The scenery ahead keeps changing, but the two people in the car have not changed for many years.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
Today is New Year's Eve.
The entire villa community of the Lin family has completely entered the rhythm of the New Year.
The female members of the Lin family are scattered throughout the villa complex, some cleaning, some hanging lanterns and pasting Spring Festival couplets.
Children play on the lawns, basketball courts, and playgrounds of the community.
As for the men, those who help the family are still in the company doing the final settlement for this year, while those who do not help the family are shopping on the street and delivering all the new year's goods to the Lin family.
The old people who have no labor force sit together leisurely, chatting and making tea.
These people, who come from different Lin families all over the world, have really integrated together after more than a year of getting along. Even if they speak different languages, have different rules of mahjong, and have different hobbies, they can still play together.
The entire Lin family is like a paradise, and everyone lives in harmony.
As the head of the Lin family, Lin Zhiming also went to the company early this morning.
The Lin Group's holiday is at 12 noon on New Year's Eve. After 12 o'clock, the Lin Group will officially enter a one-week annual holiday, and one week later, some important departments will start working.
"Boss, can I discuss something with you?" Zhao Meng stood at the door and asked cautiously.
"What's the matter?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Can I go to your house to pay New Year greetings during the Chinese New Year? I'll bring my parents with me, they both really want to go," Zhao Meng said.
"I don't have time from the first to the third day of the Lunar New Year. After the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I can go from 10 to 16 o'clock during the day." Lin Zhiming said.
"Okay, then I'll tell you in advance if I want to go!" Zhao Meng said excitedly.
"Come in for a moment." Lin Zhiming hooked his fingers at Zhao Meng.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Meng walked up to Lin Zhiming and asked.
Lin Zhiming took out a bag from the drawer and placed it on the table.
"This is a New Year gift for you, take it back." Lin Zhiming said.
"I still have gifts?" Zhao Meng took a look at the bag in surprise. There were jewelry, cosmetics, etc. inside, which were all very expensive.
"You just joined the company not long ago. You don't get the year-end bonus, so I'll give it to you. Nothing happens. You can go out." Lin Zhiming said.
"Okay!" Zhao Meng nodded and walked out happily.
"By the way, be careful during the Chinese New Year, that woman Zhao Chuchu has a lot on her mind." Lin Zhiming said.
"Don't worry, I'm neither breaking the law nor violating ethics. I'm not afraid of her!" Zhao Meng smiled proudly and walked out of Lin Zhiming's office.
After Zhao Meng left, Lin Zhiming packed a few bags and left his office.
