The domineering all-around female president

Chapter 18

Sleeping outside at night is not as comfortable as at home after all, but Zhuo Ran had a rare good sleep. When he opened his eyes, he felt that the sky was already bright, and there were some small sounds outside the tent.

"oops-"

As soon as she got up, there was a sharp pain in her ankle, and she blurted out a cry of pain.

"Are you awake, did you sleep well?" When the curtain was opened, the man's handsome face came in.

This person seemed to be able to revive with full blood at any time, with a face full of energy, Zhuo Ran smiled unconsciously: "Morning, Ling Zhan."

"Morning, Zhuo Ran." He seemed very happy, with a bright smile in his fox-like eyes.

"Now that we're awake, let's go have breakfast." The man bent down and hugged him, Zhuo Ran exclaimed, after all, he was not used to such intimacy.

"I can go by myself." But the other party didn't seem to listen at all, just hugged her carefully, and put her on the prepared mat, her movements were gentle and natural. "There's nothing delicious, so let's make do with it. I'll take you to eat something delicious after we leave here." The man's tone was soft and pampering.Zhuo Ran was in a daze, feeling that after last night, the relationship between them seemed to be changing quietly. Ling Zhan's considerateness was taken for granted, as if they had known each other for a long time.

"Eat something if it doesn't taste good. To replenish some energy, we have to hurry." The man handed over a handmade sandwich, which was made with the leftover materials from last night, and a carton of milk.

"Hurry up soon?" Zhuo Ran hesitated slightly, her feet are like this now, taking her on the road will slow down his schedule.

"Well, this car is out of gas and can't be driven. I'm going to throw it here. When the phone has a signal, I will call the car rental company to come and pick it up. I got up early and looked at the map. It's about ten miles ahead. There will be a town where we can find a car and leave." While eating casually, the man briefly explained the current situation.

"I can't use my feet yet, and I can't go far. Why don't you go alone. I'll wait for the people from the car rental company to come, and then I'll take their car and leave." She walked with him. He was driving, since he was about to abandon the car and leave, but he couldn't let his feet loose, so let's say goodbye here.No matter what kind of scenery lies ahead, they always want their own things.

"Is that why you don't like being with me? I would rather stay alone in this barren mountain than walk with me." Ling Zhan looked at her with a slightly hurt expression on his face. , I tried to push him out, I would rather keep a cold heart than accept his warmth.

"I'm just telling the truth, how do you take me with you."

"That's it." The man put the bag he packed in the morning on Zhuo Ran's body. Because he only brought some necessities, the backpack wasn't very heavy.Then, he lowered himself and carried Zhuoran on his back: "You don't weigh much. Carrying you is just an extra luggage. How troublesome it can be."

"It's a mountain road of more than ten miles." The woman struggled to get down, and carrying a big living person on the road was not like a backpack, and the more she walked, the more tired she would be.But the man tightened his arms and refused to let her go: "No matter how far the road is, I will not leave you behind. Zhuo Ran, since we met, I am not going to miss you again." At this moment, the man seemed to be the same as before. Different, with an undeniably domineering tone, he said solemnly.

Zhuo Ran was slightly taken aback, did she miss something unknowingly?Why do I feel that the man in front of me seems to be different from the playful and rambunctious Ling Zhan in my impression.

However, she just kept quiet, and said in a low voice: "We are not the same way, we have been together for a short time, and we will be separated in the end. Thank you for everything you have done for me these two days. But, I am not suitable for your game." The protagonist of life." The woman smiled lightly, if it was ten years ago, she might have liked this kind of absurdity and excitement, but now her heart is calm and her body is old...

Ling Zhan didn't say anything, just hugged her tightly and walked firmly.Zhuo Ran, maybe you haven't come out of the shadow of divorce yet, I won't force you, I have spent my whole life entangled with you, and you will eventually know that since that afternoon ten years ago, there has been one more person in this world man, love you...

After all, the mountain road was difficult to walk, but the more than ten miles on the map made them walk for more than half a day, and finally arrived in the town before sunset.Lunch was hastily settled by eating compressed biscuits. At this moment, the man took a small car and said that he wanted to take her to a good place.

"Where are we going?" Zhuo Ran looked at the endless emptiness on both sides of the road, and felt that they seemed to be getting away from people. She didn't want to sleep outside tonight, not to mention that when they left, they only brought necessities, such as tents and sleeping bags. Throw them all in place.It feels like since meeting him, everything about her has become unknown and uncontrollable, just like at this moment, sitting in this small car, she doesn't know where she is going.

"Have you ever heard of Ancient Wind City?" In order to let her sit more comfortably, the man took the initiative to sit in the front passenger seat, leaving all the space in the back row for her.

"Ancient Wind City?" Zhuo Ran almost exclaimed, how come?
"What's your expression?" The woman's voice suddenly raised, which startled Ling Zhan. He hurriedly looked back, but saw Zhuo Ran's nervous and bewildered expression.

"Stop, I won't go, I won't go." She said stubbornly.Of course she knew about GF's Gufeng City. She first proposed this plan by herself, but the board of directors thought it was absurd and unfeasible, so it was not approved.It's Tang Yi's place, she doesn't want to go there.Although the situation has changed, she and him have long been strangers, but she still doesn't know how to face him.

"Why?" This seemed to be the first time she was so panicked.

"I just don't want to go, I have to go by yourself." She has read the report and knows that this month is the first trial operation of GF Gufeng City after its completion. Tang Yi, as the executive director who vigorously promotes this project, will definitely go to the site , she doesn't want to see him.

Ling Zhan signaled the driver to continue driving, and asked with a smile, "Tell me the reason, and I'll stop." Her expression at the moment is really cute, hesitant, bewildered, and flustered, but there is still a trace of longing. Somewhat curious, this is the first time such a vivid expression has appeared on this woman's face.

"I don't want to go, let's go back to the town, okay?" Zhuo Ran begged in a low voice. Although she really wanted to see the ancient wind city of her dream, which was once her most proud project, she was afraid of seeing him. When I was so embarrassed.

"Aran, this car was originally going to Gufeng City, and it won't be going back to town today."

"Stop the car, I want to get off." Even if she sleeps on the street, she doesn't want to see Tang Yi.

"Miss, the front is already here. You are traveling from other places. Let me tell you that the ancient city is really well built. Before it was completed, I went to the city to pick up people and saw it. It is antique and gorgeous. I'm sure you won't regret it if you go." The driver brother said in not-so-standard Mandarin.

Ancient Wind City uses modern technology to restore the ancient style as much as possible. Not only is the scene in the city the same, every brick and tile is built in imitation of ancient times, but also for the tourists who enter the park, no matter men, women, old or young, they are all dressed in ancient costumes. The trained Gufeng employees will carefully create a full range of decorations for each tourist, including hairstyles, clothing, accessories, and related consultation and services.This is the first all-round retro resort in China. The investment cost is huge. At the beginning of its establishment, it was not favored by the industry. The board of directors of GF also strongly opposed it. However, the current chairman Tang Yi insisted on implementing it. After more than three years, it finally turned out to be empty. born.It is said that the early publicity was very good, and the reservation occupancy rate was once fully booked, which shocked the industry.

Standing in front of the gate of Gufeng City, Zhuo Ran was silent. This was once a dream of her when she was a girl. A piece of ancient civilization was created outside the bustling and bright modern city. The ancient civilization that traveled through time and space brought people's imagination and pursuit of ancient style to life. , Integrate into modern leisure and entertainment to create an ancient legend.She once put forward this plan with high spirits and high spirits, and made a lot of data analysis, forecast, and analysis of the possibility of the future of the market, hoping to convince the board of directors.That was the most serious time since she worked, but it was rejected.At that time, she was very disappointed, but Tang Yi told her that given him five years, he would definitely restart the project and give her a real Gufeng City.

Now that years have passed, Tang Yi has fulfilled his promise, but he is no longer by her side.

"GF's Tang Yi really has a good vision. The promotion of such a big project is not for ordinary people to make decisions." The trip to Gufeng City was originally in Ling Zhan's plan, and everyone said that Tang Yi, the chairman of GF, can be called the industry leader legend, and his biggest project in recent years is this ancient wind city, so he really wants to come and see it.

Zhuo Ran didn't speak, just stared at the gate of Gufeng City, there was a world inside the city, and a world outside the city.Looking at the flow of people coming one after another, she knew that Tang Yi had succeeded.

"Zhuoran, with me by your side, no matter what scourges or beasts there are in the city, I will protect you." Ling Zhan supported her to stand for a while, feeling the heartbeat of the woman beside him, he just quietly accompanied her.Feeling that the women around her were no longer so repulsive, so she said softly.

"Ling Zhan, let me go in by myself." The woman said quietly, when her dream turned into reality, she wanted to set foot on this legendary land and feel its reality.This was her dream and passion, and she was irresistible when she came here.

"Your feet, okay?",
"It's okay, just a few steps away." Zhuo Ran turned his head and smiled at him.For a moment, it seemed that the corners of the woman's eyes and eyebrows were dyed with youthful vitality. At this moment, it seemed that she had returned to many years ago, and the girl in front of her and the sunny girl in the photo merged into one.

When you step into that door, you will be greeted with a powerful ancient vision, not seeking perfection, but only seeking perfection, as if you have traveled through time and space all at once.

"Second guest officers, are you staying at the hotel? Our place is full. Do you have an appointment?" In front of the ancient costume hall, the two wore the same lotus root powder light gauze skirt and the same double flat bun. The appearance is exactly the same, elegant and youthful, the young woman asked with a smile on her face.

He still remembered this detail.

At that time, she said, when Gufeng City is in operation, we will find a pair of twin sisters to be the front desk maids. They wear the same dress, comb the same bun, and match the same accessories. Beautiful, stunning...

How did Tang Yi answer back then?

This is hard to handle, where can I go to find another you...

"Do you still want to go by yourself? Or I'll carry you in." At some point, Ling Zhan had completed the check-in procedures, returned to her side, and asked softly.

"What? Didn't you say there is no room?" Zhuo Ran suddenly woke up.

"There is no room for you. I have made an appointment before." Ling Zhan smiled: "It seems that you can only live in the same room with me." The man in green clothes dressed like a servant is very young, with delicate features and crooked smiling eyes: "Please, Mr. Ling, you booked a Tianzi room on the third floor. lead the way."

Seeing that Zhuo Ran was still hesitating, Ling Zhan approached her ear and whispered, "I booked a suite, it's very big."

But as soon as she entered the door, Zhuo Ran began to regret it. How could she have forgotten that this place is completely retro-decorated. The so-called big space is just bigger, but there is only one bed, and the cover is only the outer hall.

"Guest officers, please rest first. Later, someone will bring you the clothes and accessories of Gufeng City and related supplies, and will agree with you on the details of the service in the future." The young man in green bowed and settled down retreated.

"It's really interesting here." Ling Zhan looked around the room, with carved beams and painted pillars, which is ancient, elegant and comfortable.Push open the window edge, and outside is a brand new world, with blue bricks and gray tiles, all of which are ancient charms.

"It's still early, and they will deliver dinner in a while. The rule here is that you are not allowed to go out without changing into ancient costumes, so we can only stay here now and wait for them to deliver the clothes before we can go out for a stroll."

"I know." Because this rule was added by her, if you want to create a complete ancient world, then every visitor will also be a part of the ancient city.

If tourists still wear modern clothes when traveling in a city full of ancient imprints, it would be too disobedient, so I added this rule back then, no matter who is in the ancient city, they must wear ancient clothes. Clothing, while enjoying the sense of ancient style, also serves as a flowing scenery of the resort.

Of course, people who choose to come here for vacation usually have a strong sense of ancient customs and don’t care about this rigid rule. Many people even come to experience the fun of changing clothes.

"Master Ling, are you there?" The door was knocked lightly, and a gentle and graceful female voice sounded softly outside the door.

"Come in." Ling Zhan replied casually.A woman with her sideburns in a bun pushed open the door and walked in, and said softly: "Mr. Ling, the clothes you ordered before are all ready, but this lady has not made an appointment before, so there is no dress that suits her yet. clothes, you see—"

Following the woman came in, and there were two young men in green clothes, one was holding a stack of clothes, the other was holding a wig and accessories.

"It's okay, I'll just wear men's clothes." Zhuo Ran took out one of Ling Zhan's clothes, white arrow sleeves, and said lightly.How can she be in the mood to apply decals to the mirror and dress up now, and this simple and elegant men's clothing looks just right.

"The clothes here are all made according to the size sent by the young master. Miss, you may not fit this one well. Otherwise, I will change it now, and I should be able to send it back soon." The woman's voice was light and sweet. , sounds very comfortable.

"Okay, we're in no hurry."
