1361 Rainy Night
Whether it was hating or supporting, at least for now, the popularity of Moon Bay Paradise was incomparable.
Under the mockery both domestically and abroad, the people in the advertising industry were simply envious of Xia Wanyuan’s popularity.
“Good lord, what kind of popularity maniac is Xia Wanyuan? With her, there are hundreds of millions of advertising fees saved.”
“Hundreds of millions might not be able to reach her effect… She made her project famous worldwide without any effort… How many companies can’t reach this level in their lives?”!!
Whether it was envy or mockery, as these people had said, Moon Bay Paradise was popular. Many netizens domestically and abroad were waiting for it to open.
Linxi had already entered the rainy season. During this period of time, the continuous rain had never stopped. Shen Qian confirmed with Xia Wanyuan again. After receiving an affirmative answer, he announced to his subordinate that the opening time would not change.
Tomorrow was the opening ceremony of Moon Bay. Tonight, the entire park was brightly lit. Everyone was working overtime to prepare for tomorrow.
It was late at night, and the rain was getting heavier. There were faint thunderclaps.
Xuan Sheng stood by the window and quietly looked at the lightning outside. The assistant was worried. “CEO Xuan, it’s raining so heavily. What are we going to do for the opening ceremony tomorrow?”
“Since Xia Wanyuan said it’s okay, so be it,” Xuan Sheng replied calmly.
“Okay.” Since Xuan Sheng had already said so, the assistant did not dare to say anything else. He stood behind Xuan Sheng and quietly accompanied him in a daze.
Time gradually passed. The night deepened and the rain became heavier. The assistant was about to ask Xuan Sheng if he wanted to rest when messy footsteps suddenly came from outside the room.
There was a knock on the door and a person covered in rain rushed in. “CEO Xuan, something happened to Miss Xia!”
Xuan Sheng suddenly turned around. “What is it?”
“Miss Xia returned to take a look at our preparations. On the way, we encountered a landslide. I heard from the people over there that the entire car rolled into the valley.”
Xuan Sheng immediately rushed to the door. “How is that possible? Where’s Jun Shiling?”
“CEO Xuan, doesn’t the officials of Linxi City have a meal with CEO Jun tonight??”
Xuan Sheng’s expression immediately turned ugly. His subordinate was right. In order to rope in Jun Shiling, the officials of Linxi City held a banquet at a restaurant in the city tonight and even invited the Lin family to accompany them. Although they had also sent him an invitation, he did not go.
“Have you called the police?” Xuan Sheng grabbed his subordinate’s collar.
“The rain is too heavy. Although we called the police about the landslide over there, the police won’t be able to enter for a while,” the subordinate said as he wiped the mud off his face.
Xuan Sheng let go of his subordinate and rushed into the rain. The assistant shouted behind him for a long time but could not stop him.
“Seriously!” The assistant took an umbrella and rushed out. “It’s raining so heavily. Ancestor, wait for me!!!”
The rain gradually became heavier, hitting the small road in the mountains.
The Moon Bay project was originally built with natural mountains and rivers. Many places had not been modified and still maintained the original terrain. After the rain, it looked extremely muddy.
Following his subordinate’s directions, Xuan Sheng drove south.
However, he had just recovered from the last explosion. His body was already hanging on by the medicine prescribed by Shen Xiu. Now that he was furious, coupled with the heavy wind and rain, something began to happen to Xuan Sheng’s body.
The subordinate in the front passenger seat glanced at Xuan Sheng. “CEO Xuan, why don’t you let me drive? I know the way. Rest for a while. You still have to contact the police outside later.”
“Okay.” Xuan Sheng parked the car by the roadside. The subordinate got out of the front passenger seat and walked around to Xuan Sheng’s side. He reached out to touch the steering wheel. In the next second, his right hand behind his back took out a knife and slashed at Xuan Sheng.
A white light suddenly flashed in the rearview mirror. Xuan Sheng subconsciously dodged.
Seeing that his attack did not succeed, the subordinate slashed at Xuan Sheng again. The two of them fought in the rain and pounced on the mud, unable to be recognized by the mud.
——
The next morning, it was supposed to be the opening ceremony. However, everyone searched the entire hotel but could not find any traces of Xuan Sheng.
At that moment, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling had already arrived at Moon Bay. Everyone reported the situation to Xia Wanyuan, who frowned slightly. “He’s not someone who doesn’t know the severity of the matter. Could it be that something happened?”
At that moment, a person covered in mud ran towards the entrance of the hotel. Everyone stopped him. He wiped his face. It was Xuan Sheng’s assistant.
“Where’s your boss?” Xia Wanyuan walked up to him and asked.
“Miss Xia?!! Didn’t you fall into the valley? When did you go back yesterday?” The assistant was panting.
“What valley? I went back after checking yesterday.” Xia Wanyuan had a bad feeling. Hearing Xia Wanyuan’s words, the assistant’s expression changed drastically. “Yesterday, someone came and said that you fell into the valley. CEO Xuan was worried about you and left with that person. If you’re fine, then our CEO Xuan?!”
Xia Wanyuan had brought the assistant to the side to ask. Now, the people standing not far away were looking over curiously.
Xia Wanyuan thought for a while. “Don’t panic first. We can’t let others know about Xuan Sheng’s disappearance now. I’ll get someone to look for him. After you cooperate with me to smooth things over, go and look for Xuan Sheng too.”
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” The assistant nodded and followed Xia Wanyuan.
“CEO Xuan isn’t here yet?” Someone could not help but ask curiously.
The assistant wiped the mud off his face. “Don’t mention it. Our car broke down on the mountain. I came back to look for it and fell on the way. This rain is really heavy.”
“Yo, it broke down. Is it far?”
“It’s far. The mountain is slippery and he probably won’t be back for a while. CEO Xuan said that if we follow the original process, he won’t appear. It’s the same with Miss Xia around.”
“Okay.” The assistant’s reaction was very normal. Everyone was concerned about Xuan Sheng’s condition for a while and did not ask further.
Xia Wanyuan gave her assistant a look. The assistant retreated to the side, and Xia Wanyuan brought the others into the amusement park.
Although tickets were quite expensive in the eyes of many people, to many of Xia Wanyuan’s fans, they were quite willing to support their idol’s career with a thousand yuan.
Xia Wanyuan had quite a lot of fans, so the 30,000 tickets on the first day of opening were actually sold out. However, the selling time was a little long, and it took about a week.
Due to the fact that Moon Bay had been quite popular recently, even if Xia Wanyuan did not specially invite them to open today, the news media from all over the world had already filled the entire Moon Bay.
