In the early morning of Saturday, the cold was approaching. Lin Zhiyuan opened the door of his house and walked in the alley leading to Houhai.

The cold air was like steel needles piercing the exposed skin, making people very uncomfortable.

There was a light snowfall in Yanjing City last night. The red walls and green tiles of Houhai Park were dotted with white snow. It was like traveling back hundreds of years in an instant.

The thick sneaker soles made a slight squeaking sound on the snow. Lin Zhiyuan lowered his head and walked straight to the lake.

Seven or eight winter swimming team members have gathered on the ice and are making preparations for winter swimming. Two people are holding fishing nets and are carefully salvaging the ice floes floating in the waterway. These ice cubes and ice ballast must be salvaged. , otherwise it is likely to sting people's skin when swimming in the water.

After Lin Zhiyuan arrived. He quickly took the fishing net from Uncle Dongyong's hand and said, "Teacher Zhang, let me come."

This is Lin Zhiyuan's third time participating in winter swimming, and he has gradually become familiar with these winter swimming team members. He knows that the leading winter swimmer's surname is Zhang, and he was a mathematics teacher at a middle school in Yanjing before he retired.

Teacher Zhang cheerfully handed the fishing net to Lin Zhiyuan, "It's okay, just do some exercises before going into the water, just as a warm-up."

After everyone worked together to clean up the ice floes on the rice, under the leadership of Teacher Zhang, we collectively started warm-up activities.

Then Uncle Zhang briefly said a few words to everyone, "Now the lake is frozen, and the water temperature has dropped to zero. This temperature is not suitable for long-term swimming, because it will cause frostbite to the skin. Everyone should not be in the water for more than ten minutes." "

Then, under the command of Teacher Zhang, everyone went into the water in pairs, and each person's swimming time was strictly limited to ten minutes.

Because Lin Zhiyuan was a novice, he was ranked last. He stood on the ice and looked at the people chopping waves in the ice water, feeling scared and envious.

The water temperature in the two winter swims he participated in before should have been around ten degrees. This was his first time swimming in a frozen lake, and he didn't know if he could stand it.

Finally it was Lin Zhiyuan's turn. He took a deep breath, used all his mental strength to overcome his fear, quickly got into his cloak, took off his outer clothes and put on his swimming trunks. With a clear whistle from Teacher Zhang, he jumped into the water with an older sister.

The cold lake water instantly submerged his whole body. This extreme cold forced Lin Zhiyuan to increase his swimming speed.

The waterway was too short, only twenty meters long. After Lin Zhiyuan swam about a hundred meters, he felt that the chill on his body was no longer so heavy and he gradually warmed up. Only then did he believe that what was said on the Internet was true. The water in the winter was really warmer than outside, especially when the body was fully open.

Teacher Zhang held his watch. When Lin Zhiyuan swam for eight minutes, he blew the whistle, "Xiao Lin, it's okay. This is your first time swimming in ice water. Swim a little less. Let's do it step by step and take our time."

Lin Zhiyuan nodded and climbed onto the ice with the help of others.

When his skin was exposed to the cold air again, the pain of needle pricks hit him a hundred times a thousand times. He quickly ran into the changing cloak, dried his body as quickly as possible, and changed into clothes.

Winter swimming is indeed a sport for the strong. Although Lin Zhiyuan has only completed it three times, and these three times he gritted his teeth and overcame fear, he feels that he has benefited a lot.

A person's life is about constantly mustering up courage and overcoming difficulties.

When Lin Zhiyuan changed his clothes and came out of the cloak, Teacher Zhang took the lead in applauding, and several other winter swimming team members also cheered for Lin Zhiyuan.

"Xiao Lin, good job. When you first started swimming, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to persist. Now it seems that this worry is completely unnecessary. The Houhai Winter Swimming Team officially welcomes you to join."

Lin Zhiyuan, who accepted everyone's blessings, walked back home. On the way back, he felt that his whole body was warm, and the biting cold air that was just chilly didn't seem so scary anymore.

After returning home, Lin Zhiyuan took a hot shower, had breakfast, and drank the ginger soup Su Jin cooked for him.

At nine o'clock, Lin Zhiyuan walked into the kitchen.

The kitchen is fully stocked with chicken, duck, fish, and all kinds of seafood, and Aunt Wang and Shen Juan are busy at work.

When they saw Lin Zhiyuan coming in, they all laughed at the same time, "Mr. Lin, do you want to cook in person today?"

Lin Zhiyuan also smiled, "We have guests at home today, and I will cook some dishes for them myself."

Last night, Xing Ziyao and Xue Zhaokuan from Le Gang Investment Company came to Yanjing with a small team. The purpose of their trip was to assist NetOne and Citigroup's Tiger Brokers in launching a series of preparatory work before listing.

Since NetOne moved to Yanjing, it has been developing better and better, and Ding Sanshi's desire to go public has become more and more restless.

This is not surprising to Ding Sanshi. Nowadays, all major domestic websites have started to list in the United States, and almost all of them have formed a wave. Nowadays, the ultimate goal of those doing Internet in China is to be listed on Nasdaq.

As one of the three major portals in China, Wangyi naturally has more capital.

After nearly half a year of operation, Ding Sanshi successfully contacted Citigroup Tiger Securities. Tiger Brokers is a senior securities company in China and has successfully helped many companies obtain listings.

After several rounds of negotiations, it has now been confirmed that Tiger Brokers will become the securities underwriter of NetOne.

This time, Xing Ziyao and Xue Zhaohuan led a team to Yanjing at the invitation of Ding Sanshi to assist Net One Company as major shareholders.

In Ding Sanshi's mind, Legang Investment Company is not only his noble person, but also the guiding light in his career. Without them, Ding Sanshi would have no confidence.

A few days before arriving, Xue Zhaokuan called Lin Zhiyuan. Lin Zhiyuan was very happy when he heard that they were coming to Yanjing and decided to hold a banquet at home to treat these old subordinates to a meal.

At around ten o'clock, Xing Ziyao and the others arrived. Lin Zhiyuan went to greet him personally.

This time six people came. Xing Ziyao, Xue Zhaokuan and Xue Zhaokuan's wife Huang Jiayan, Lao Gao, Stephana and Ma Jing.

As soon as the two parties met, Xue Zhaokuan ran up to Lin Zhiyuan excitedly and called Mr. Lin loudly.

"Zhaokuan, how are you doing lately?"

"Mr. Lin, I'm fine." Xue Zhaokuan suddenly blushed, pointed to Huang Jiayan beside him, and whispered: "Mr. Lin, I'm going to be a father soon. Jiayan is pregnant, and the due date is July next year."

Huang Jiayan was a little shy and pulled Xue Zhaokuan with her hand to prevent him from continuing.

Su Jin, who was standing aside, was very surprised, "You two are so lucky to have a millennium baby."

Xue Zhaokuan nodded repeatedly, "Sister-in-law, no, it's all thanks to Mr. Lin, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today."

Everyone was stunned. Huang Jiayan's face turned into pig liver. She pinched Xue Zhaokuan hard and whispered: "What are you talking about?"

Only then did Xue Zhaokuan realize that he had said the wrong thing, scratching his head and smiling naively.

A burst of huge laughter went straight into the sky, and Xing Ziyao, Lao Gao and others laughed so hard that they stopped breathing.
