Hidden Corners

in a few days.

Eight o'clock in the morning, Forever Botanical Garden.

Li Chengyi moved his hands away from the dozen or so knotweeds that had been transplanted.

He frowned slightly.

None of these bloomed, just regular plants.

"That's all?" He looked at the young man who was standing a little restlessly.

This person is Zhu Hong, who was specially sent by him to search for the Wild Festival Mao Feilian, but now it seems that the efficiency is too low.

It took me a few days to find this.

"Boss, this kind of wild flower usually grows in some wild mountains, a little far away from the botanical garden and it is not blooming this season," the young Zhu Hong replied helplessly.

"It's December now, and the weather is much colder. Boss, you really can't do this request."

"I was negligent." Li Chengyi nodded. He really didn't expect that in reality, the arborescens only blooms from May to October.

"Does it have to bloom?"

Not far away, the manager Chen Yuqin approached with the signed contract documents, and obviously heard what was said here.

"It must." Li Chengyi nodded, "Manager Chen has a solution?"

"On my side, I can ask through channel dealers, and I can also post purchase orders online. The climate here is cold and there are no flowers, but some places are warm all year round." Chen Yuqin said with a smile.

"Acquisition? This is a way." Li Chengyi nodded.

"Boss, I'm here to ask, what is the opening hours of the special garden area you built? Also, if you want to expand the park around, what is the rented area?" Chen Yuqin changed the subject and asked about the business. thing.

This is also what Li Chengyi meant.

With the success of the scallops he watered with special nutrient solution, the original purple-red florets have now turned purple-black.

And in the center of the stamen, a strange light golden liquid will continue to flow out. That is the blazing liquid he named it.

This stock solution has now become the largest source of income for the botanical garden, and it is an excellent material for making stimulants.

It's a pity that this kind of financial source will inevitably be interrupted in the near future because of the complete departure of Quiet Shop.

Li Chengyi must think of new profit points as soon as possible.

Creating a unique and idiosyncratic garden area has become his new idea.

"The money is enough for the time being, and the surrounding parks will be tripled, and then professional designers will be hired to design the tour route and the distribution of consumer stores. The stores will first put automatic vending machines."

Li Chengyi began to discuss the development direction of the botanical garden with the manager Chen Yuqin.

Because of his own needs, he must maintain the scale of the four flowers: sunflower, gladiolus, wisteria, and jellyfish. It must also be maintained in bloom all year round.

Therefore, it is the core to find compensation and profit from this aspect as much as possible.

While discussing, he also thought in his mind that if the flowering period is too concentrated, if his flower scale clothes are damaged in the middle and cannot be repaired, it will be a little troublesome.

Therefore, when choosing other flower gods in the future, the interval of flowering period must also be taken into consideration.

"By the way, please take someone to go through the entry procedures later." Li Chengyi mentioned another matter. "It's my assistant secretary."

After thinking about it, he decided to hang Zhou Xingtong on the side of the botanical garden instead of Hongjin Biology.

"No problem. The boss should have found a secretary a long time ago. I often call you when I have something to do, but I can't find you. I'm in trouble." Chen Yuqin complained.

"Isn't your sister Chen here? I don't have to worry about everything here." Li Chengyi smiled.

After chatting with Chen Yuqin for a while, he handed Zhou Xingtong's phone to her.

Li Chengyi turned around and left the botanical garden towards Yong'an Garden opposite.

As soon as he went out, the phone rang.

He crossed the driveway, walked onto the field path, and approached the gate of Yong'an Garden.

Then he took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket and looked at the screen, it turned out to be the teacher prison dragon.

Prison Dragon usually seldom calls him, and even if something happens, he will be notified by text message mostly. I didn't expect to call him now.

After pressing connect, Li Chengyi put the phone to his ear.

"Teacher, what's the matter?"

"Xiaoyi, did you meet a strong old man with a long beard at my side before?" Prison Dragon asked in a deep voice.

"Yes." Li Chengyi smiled, "The old man said he wanted to fight with you, and he said some nonsense like that from back then. I don't know if it's true or not. Then he wanted to fight me on the spot, and I sent him away gone."

"You fought with him?" Prison Dragon raised his voice slightly.

"I didn't move much, I just frightened him." Li Chengyi replied.

"Well, that old man's name is Jiao Chenwei. He was an old enemy of mine when I was young. He jumped off the roof of the twelfth floor of his hometown this morning and landed head first." Hell Dragon said with a sigh in his voice.

"Dead?" The smile on Li Chengyi's face froze.

Although the other party has a bad temper and is ready to strike at every turn, at most it is provoking trouble. According to the law, it is provoking trouble. The crime is not death, far from it.

"Why did he jump off the building?" Li Chengyi couldn't understand.

"I don't know, maybe I was hit by you. The old boy practiced the copper whip boxing all his life, but he met you. I heard from Xiaojing that you suppressed him with one hand?"

"Well, after all, the old man, I don't want to really fight with him, so I will warn you." Li Chengyi replied.

"Hey, now people from the General Security Administration have found me, and people from the Judiciary Department of the military department have also come. Fortunately, there is a surveillance video of the whole process, otherwise this matter will be really troublesome." Prison Dragon's tone was full of helplessness.

"You shouldn't scare him."

"Teacher, he died and committed suicide because he was mentally weak. He was already old and couldn't bear even this little blow. I don't think it's my fault." Li Chengyi frowned.

"That's what I said, but in this world and this society, if you are not right, you will win." Prison Dragon obviously had a lot of feelings, and he hesitated to speak when he said this.

"It's like between countries. What's the use of reasoning with other countries? The result is the most important thing. The current situation is that he is dead, and we are the biggest suspects. I guess your side will soon Go to someone to investigate. Because you have another layer of identity, you are even more suspicious. Just as long as you know it in your heart."

"I understand. Thank you teacher." Li Chengyi replied.

"Next time, if you encounter such a thing again, just bear with it and don't do anything. One thing more is worse than one thing less." Prison Dragon persuaded.

"Teacher, I don't think I'm at fault. We're all adults. He took the initiative to find trouble, and ended up losing and committing suicide. We should be held accountable? There's no reason for that!" Li Chengyi frowned and said in a low voice.

"Xiaoyi. You are still young. If we want to live a stable life, we must learn to retreat when it is time to live a stable life." Hell Dragon sighed, "I would not have such a stable life now if I hadn't retired in time."

"It doesn't matter what is right, and it doesn't matter whether you are right or wrong. You are right, you are right, and now you are the object of suspicion, and you have to be investigated by the General Administration of Security. Who is to blame?" His last words seemed to say Gained the greatest enlightenment in his life.

"Teacher, you are getting old." Li Chengyi hung up the phone, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Some people are destined to live like a shooting star in their lifetime, but the shooting star is fleeting, short and beautiful. They are happy, well-informed and reckless.

Some people may not have any dazzling moments in their lives, but they can live longer and longer. It's just that the only thing needed is to forbear and retreat, to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

The difference lies in what kind of route you are willing to choose and what kind of life you want.

Li Chengyi knows.

If it was him before, he might have chosen the latter path.

But it's a pity. He is a blind man and has no choice.

When he came to the gate of Yonganyuan, he raised his head and glanced at the three characters of Yonganyuan.

For a while, he stopped moving forward, just stood at the door and did not move.

"Why don't you come in? Brother Cheng?"

Dahei passed by the courtyard with a basin of dirty clothes in his arms, and when he saw Li Chengyi, he immediately spoke in confusion.

"It's okay." Li Chengyi lowered his head.

"Is everyone there?" he asked.

"Well, because there may be a sign at any time, everyone gathered here." Dahei nodded.

Li Chengyi smiled and strode into the door.

He also needs to be ready. Without the Silent Shop, he needs to open up a new channel to obtain dead-end items.

Otherwise, the external cultivation of mutant flowers that he had placed high hopes on before might be aborted.

Go into the inner hall.

Skittles and Big Bear are sitting on the terrace reading e-books while drinking hot milk tea.

Xiao Zong was cooking something in a hurry, but there was an obvious smell of burnt food.

Longmen Hang was lazily lying on the sofa, yawning, with one stinky foot raised high.

Seeing Li Chengyi coming in, he waved his hand lazily as a greeting.

Skittles and Big Bear waved their hands in this direction, lowered their heads and continued to read.

Li Chengyi said hello and walked upstairs.

There is also a room reserved for him upstairs here.

Go to the deepest bedroom on the second floor.

He pushed open the door.

Inside the heavy alloy door is a spacious bedroom with walls, floors and ceilings, all of which are covered with a thick alloy surface.

The silver-gray coating dyes the entire room in a sci-fi style.

All the tables, chairs, bookshelves, lamps and the like are all silver gray.

Li Chengyi entered the door, looking at the flying instrument suitcase stored in the corner, and a black pocket for small things in a quiet corner.

He walked over, rummaged through it, and took out a dusty thing that looked like a can of fish.

Greedy heart, this is a small thing he bought in a quiet shop one time.

I have been unable to find the usage, but this time I can use it to try.

Taking out this small thing that outsiders cannot see, Li Chengyi stood up and began to think about how to get there.

The little shop of silence is gone, but there are still holding hands.

He didn't forget that Estherine Black mentioned before that he could trade with those Black Seas.

But holding hands is not something you can get in if you want to.

'Unless I go to Su Tan's prototype site again, it will be a bit troublesome to enter, and I can only wait for it to pull me on its own initiative. '

"Estherine, I want to come into your place, is there anything you can do?" He suddenly whispered.

No one responded.

Evidently Estherine couldn't answer in reality, maybe she couldn't even be sure if she heard this sentence.

Li Chengyi thought for a while, then walked slowly to a corner of the bedroom, where a standing cuboid wooden cabinet was placed.

Pulling open the cabinet door, a standing little girl's skeleton was fixed straight on a black base.

The bones are held in place with special braces throughout.

Li Chengyi thought of what Iselin said before, and immediately stretched out his hand and gently placed it on the skeleton.

"Estherine, I want to come into your place, can you do it?"

His voice produced slight tremors, and along with the palm of his hand, it was gently transmitted to Iselin's skeleton.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

Slap.

A slight sound came from behind Li Chengyi.

He let go and turned around.

A blond girl in a black tunic was looking at him happily.
