River Bay was a good place. A large river rushing from the south to the north and from the west to the east merged together to form a surging river. Where the river met, it formed an oval harbor that was left behind by the heavens.
The high buildings around the harbor looked as if they were entering Manhattan in New York City; the water surrounding the harbor was the field for ferries and yachts.
A large ferry with a long whistle set sail eastward, its hull like a plough in the water, making a deep ravine.
He Ye stood on top of the hundred li of dike, staring at the ferry as it slowly moved further and further away, couldn't help but to recite Li Bai's poem.
In the midst of Emperor Caiyun's colorful clouds,
The thousand li of the Jiang mausoleum,
There was no end to the sounds of the apes on both sides of the river,
The light boat had passed ten thousand mountains.
He Ye had the literary talent. Although her specialty was biotechnology, literature had always been a sacred dream in her heart. Untiringly studying famous books and literature had become her hobby.
If He Ye came from a prestigious family, it wouldn't be difficult for him to be a writer like Zhang Ailing.
Unfortunately, she was born in a poor village, so her parents could not create the environment for her to write books.
In order to graduate as soon as possible and raise her family out of poverty, He Ye applied for the Biotechnology Department of the University of Biological Engineering.
He had thought that biotechnology, a unique and attractive major, would bring good luck to both him and his family.
But after four years of studying in the Biological Engineering University, He Ye's major had become as good as dog shit that no one wanted.
He Ye was furious, but what could she do about it? This was a market economy, with thousands of men and horses entering the market as a melting pot for testing; the fittest would survive the downside.
There was a constant debate on whether quality education should be the priority or job hunting should be the priority. Both seemed to make sense. However, if one could not find a job to support himself, then what quality was there to talk about?
How many of those contractors in society earned so much after they went to college to improve their quality? God knows.
The argument that He Ye supported was to find a job and learn skills, but after entering university and coming into contact with the life of a city, He Ye finally understood how important money was. Money was not everything, but without money, it was absolutely impossible.
From this perspective, He Ye was very despicable. After all, she was a university student, and it would take her 16 years to go from primary school to university.
How could the King of Oil understand the heartache of the old lady who picked up coal from the desert? It was even more expensive! Fallen! Who would understand …
The harbor formed by the river was a huge one with a height of more than ten meters and a width of more than ten meters. The towering trees that grew on the bank gave it a beautiful scenery.
The hundred-kilometer dike was naturally over a hundred kilometers long, and only now did it have the name Baili.
To the north of the hundred-kilometer long dike was a man-made lake. The lake was surrounded by forests, gardens, and amusement parks.
Man-made lakes include islands, mountains, water, and pavilions; boats of all sizes race around islands and reefs, and the laughter of tourists is heard from time to time.
The artificially constructed lake was called ”Lake of Mourning”, and it was obviously derived from the name of the female lead from Master Jin Yong's ”Heroic Couple”, Li Moli.
The surface of the lake was very large, and around it rose buildings and pavilions. The pavilions and pavilions stretched out to connect the trees and reeds.
Birds chirped in the bushes, and long-legged egrets flew in search of food in the reeds.
He Ye let out a sigh as she faced the ferry. She walked slowly with Sima Lin and Chen Erpu along the 1000-mile long embankment.
