Chapter 241 Do you want to pray together?
...
The Spring Festival is an important festival celebrated in all the states of Brandenburg.
People celebrate the New Year by gathering in churches, streets or squares. Floats made of colorful flowers stretch for miles, forming a beautiful landscape.
People followed the floats, sang and danced, celebrating the arrival of the festival.
Jiang Zhiyue stayed on the deserted island and missed the New Year's Eve. During the annual New Year's holiday, she naturally stayed at home and spent it with Jiang Wanrou. The New Year here is equivalent to New Year's Eve, but the customs are very different.
Svero Plaza is the most prosperous entertainment and shopping center in the world, with a large number of dazzling neon tube advertisements and sky-high sightseeing elevators. Every New Year, it is the only way for the public to get close to this valuable square.
The nobles would arrange staff to distribute tens of thousands of New Year gifts to civilians in the square. The "Gold Falling Ceremony" that night is also the most representative custom of Brandenburg.
On the first night of the New Year, as people are excitedly anticipating, a huge crystal ball will slowly drop from the Babel Building, followed by flying banknotes that will fill the sky above Piazza Svero and be snatched by the public.
Ordinary people braved the cold wind and lined up to receive gifts, while the rich held family gatherings in warm villas and estates. The young second generation held parties in private homes and clubs, or went on vacation to private islands.
Dominating the evening news were reporters camped out in Swellow Square, broadcasting live, singing the praises of the good deeds of the wealthy.
Jiang Zhiyue took a quick look and changed the channel. There was no news about the riots in Lanzhou, New Myanmar, anywhere, and she didn't know how it was resolved. Jiang Zhiyue thought of the owner of the hotel.
She went back to the public school these days to finish the last elective course exams she had missed. It was winter vacation, and the college was empty with few people on the streets.
There were only three or four students in the class of Hearing and Speech Rehabilitation. On the day of the unified exam, a girl came up to me with a smile and said, "Hey, Jiang Zhiyue, you are so lucky to have participated in the succession test of the young masters. Ah, it turns out that being Mr. Gu's study partner is more fortunate than being a rich lady like Yanzhu."
"Even Yanzhu has never been alone with Master Qin! You are so lucky. I can't help but be jealous."
Jiang Zhiyue knew she couldn't hide it, so she sighed in her heart and smiled gently.
The girl was dazzled by her smile and told her directly that this matter had spread everywhere and it came from Lin Jun's circle.
"You don't want to snatch Young Master Qin away, do you?" The girl stuck out her tongue and asked tentatively, "Lin Jun described it vividly. It was Young Master Qin who protected you all the way. If it weren't for Young Master Qin, you would have died in the riot zone long ago."
"Many girls like Mr. Qin, especially pretty girls. They always think they can charm Mr. Qin with their pretty faces. In the past, there were even special recruits who were not afraid of death and tried to scam Mr. Qin. Jiang Zhiyue, you are different from them, right?"
Jiang Zhiyue still remembers the meaningful expression on the girl's face. Suddenly, the sound of her cell phone vibrating brought her back to her thoughts and she picked up the phone on the table.
Xiao Jingrun just sent a message.
【Happy New Year. 】
A warm smiley face appeared on Lins’ private message interface, and it was an animated picture.
Jiang Zhiyue followed no one except acquaintances. Xiao Jingrun's personal social software was more like a business card specially created for him by the Xiao family. He had been authenticated and there was a special little logo next to his avatar.
The man’s profile picture is his photo, with restrained and simple color matching, elegant, low-key and textured clothes, and an approachable smile.
The entire public school, both boys and girls, followed Xiao Jingrun. As soon as Jiang Zhiyue clicked on the message, the system prompted that her friend Cui Miaomiao had liked Xiao Jingrun’s post a minute ago.
In just a few minutes, the post received over a million likes.
The man shared a photo of fireworks outside the window, captioned: [Happy Chinese New Year. ]
Jiang Zhiyue looked down at her phone, curled the corners of her lips, thought for a long time, and replied with an emoticon pack of "having fun together". That was it. She secretly felt that it was not sincere, so she typed a few more words.
The heating was turned on in the room, and the whole Gu residence was filled with a festive atmosphere. However, there is no custom in Brandenburg to post couplets, and the festivals here are not dominated by red. The whole country likes gold very much, which is full of nobility.
The courtyard was decorated with lights and illuminated with large patches of golden light. Standing by the window and looking out, the main building of Gu's residence looked like a magnificent palace.
Mrs. Gu sent the housekeeper to invite her to dinner. Jiang Zhiyue secretly felt lucky that Mu Liansheng insisted on walking home with her that day. He might have caught a cold and sneezed several times. Seeing this, the housekeeper went back to report.
Jiang Wanrou prepared a sumptuous dinner, including roast goose, sausages, buttered bread, and lo hei, a dish made of colorful shredded vegetables and fish fillets.
Before she knew it, Jiang Zhiyue had been back for a week and her life was gradually getting back on track. Gu Zhaoye was busy going to the company with his father and no longer hung around her to make trouble.
Jiang Zhiyue felt a lot more relaxed, but Jiang Wanrou seemed to be worried.
Jiang Zhiyue knew what her mother was worried about, it was the sudden appearance of Mu Liansheng that day.
She had already explained that she had not offended Mu Liansheng, nor had she dated Mu Liansheng, and they were not in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
Jiang Wanrou's expression became more serious, and she gestured, "Mom didn't misunderstand you. Mom is just worried about you."
Seeing that she looked dazed, Jiang Wanrou hurriedly invited Jiang Zhiyue to dinner, wished her a happy new year, and gave her a gift, which was her savings for the year.
"Don't be too frugal in college. You should actively sign up for activities that require money." Jiang Wanrou didn't want Jiang Zhiyue to bear too much psychological burden in public school. After all, the treatment given by the Gu family was quite considerable.
Jiang Zhiyue thought about the chips in her pocket again. She had to find a time to exchange them. Qin Si gave her all the chips he had won. Since she didn't want them, he threw them in the trash can.
Five million is only enough to buy a toilet in Monterey Park, and many areas are not open to public purchase. However, in the neighboring country, you can buy a small house with three bedrooms and two living rooms. After accounting for various taxes and fees that foreign residents have to pay, this amount of money is just enough.
Perhaps the biggest gain from Jiang Zhiyue's trip is that she is one step closer to her goal.
She lowered her eyes slightly, but her smile was genuinely happy.
As for Mu Liansheng’s harassment, it is actually insignificant. As long as you get what you want, just let those unpleasant episodes go.
She received another message from Xiao Jingrun, asking her if she was free in the next two days.
Jiang Zhiyue was about to reply when the other party replied: [I heard that Xilin Temple can pray for peace and prosperity for the country and the people. Do you want to go and pray together? ]
