The banquet last night concluded with a slightly flawed ending, and Chen Fei set out early the next morning in his Mercedes GL400 for the journey home.
Chen Fei grew up in a place called Chengyang County, a famous scenic tourist county within Northern Mountain City's jurisdiction. It boasted spring-like weather all year round, pleasant temperatures, and humid air, earning it the reputation of being the most livable urban area within a hundred miles. Not only that, but Chengyang County was also home to a tourist destination renowned throughout the province and beyond—Emerald Lake.
"Ten acres of lotus flowers make a fish's world; half a city of willows brushes against the eaves."
This was a couplet written in admiration of Emerald Lake by some great poet or writer.
The morning sunlight sprinkled over the lake's surface, making it glitter and shimmer. Chen Fei could already see it from afar.
