Lying in bed at night, Song Shuqian couldn't sleep, so she rolled into Wei Jianguo's arms, "Are you asleep?"
"I can't sleep. The gap between us and them is too big."
Everything he saw today had a big impact on Wei Jianguo, and he was very worried about the future of his country.
Song Shuqian also felt like two different worlds, but she was more open-minded. "When we returned to Huludao after playing in Sijiu City, I had the same feeling. It's obviously the same country, but it's like two different worlds.
Now that I have this feeling again, I don’t have any difficulty getting used to it.
Let's develop slowly. I have confidence in our country. "
Thinking of the changes that have taken place this year, Wei Jianguo has gained more confidence.
He will do his best no matter what.
"Honey, what should I do tomorrow?"
"You, forget about your mission, just think of yourself as participating in an event and be yourself."
Song Shuqian said there was no problem.
The next day, they had a day of free time, where they could go shopping and buy something they liked, or visit Gotham City.
The itinerary had been discussed long ago, and for safety reasons, they would travel together.
The first stop was the Gotham City Stock Exchange, which I heard is one of the most important stock trading venues in the world.
None of the five of them knew what stock trading was.
Song Shuqian heard from Tiantian that this thing will always exist in the future.
She wanted to see.
When the five people came here, they were like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and everything was new and interesting.
In the trading hall, there is a huge market display screen hanging on the wall, which scrolls and displays key information such as the real-time price, increase or decrease, trading volume, etc. of various stocks.
Traders wearing vests of different colors quickly shuttle between different trading areas.
Some of them held trading order sheets and shouted out buy and sell quotes loudly; others gathered together and discussed market conditions and trading strategies intensely, with gestures and shouts intertwined, creating a lively and tense scene.
Song Shuxi and the other four felt out of place here, so they found a corner and watched everything.
Even though Song Shuqian was extremely intelligent, she couldn't understand the various information on the display screen.
She only knew that every number and every transaction here might be related to the wealth and fate of countless people. This strong sense of impact made her feel both awed and overwhelmed with excitement.
This is something that the Dayong Dynasty and the Shanghai Market have never brought her.
Suppressing their thoughts, they left the place.
I just came out of the hotel this morning and haven't eaten yet. It's already noon and I feel very hungry.
I just found a restaurant that looked okay. Song Shuxi spoke the best English here, and she was responsible for communication.
"This shop has burgers, pasta and pizza. What do you want to eat?"
Wei Jianguo and the other four... they had no idea what these things were.
Being watched by four people, Song Shuqian also felt that she shouldn't ask. She coughed lightly to cover up her embarrassment and said, "Well, I don't know what these are."
With a chuckle, all four of them laughed.
Wei Jianguo suggested, "Why don't we order something different so we can all see what they look like?"
Song Shuqian had no objection and looked at the other three people.
They had no objection either.
The people Wei Jianguo brought out this time all come from well-off families. The pair who played the brothers were actually cousins, third generation military men, and their grandfather held an important position.
In other words, they are not short of money.
This was convenient for Song Shuxi. She had two servings of pasta, two servings of seafood noodles, a 12-inch Margherita pizza, four servings of fillet steak, a serving of tiramisu, and five glasses of freshly squeezed juice.
After the dishes were served, the five people fell silent as they looked at the things on the table.
Not enough food, these three words linger in everyone's mind.
When ordering food, they felt they had ordered too much and were worried about leftovers.
Song Shuxi almost didn't order anything for herself. She saw a hot dog on the road and tried one out of curiosity. Now she is not hungry at all.
Wei Jianguo asked for a plate and gave her some of his pasta and steak so that she could taste them.
"How about it?"
Song Shuxi...this thing is covered in blood, she doesn't want to eat it.
Fortunately, I didn’t order any for myself.
After watching the four of them finish eating, Song Shuqian quickly said, "Drink some juice to relax. Are you all okay?"
It’s hard to describe the four of them.
Afterwards, they tasted the four portions of noodles again. The taste was okay, but there were too few of them and not enough for them to eat.
Song Shuxi thought this pizza was delicious, especially the cheese on it. It would have been even better if there was more cheese.
She ate a piece.
As for the tiramisu, of course it was ordered for her alone.
Looking at the bill and touching their stomachs, they decided to just eat for free at the hotel in the future.
Having enough money and being taken advantage of are different concepts.
Five people were wandering on the streets of Gotham City, and all kinds of eyes were fixed on them, some were curious, some were disgusted, some were full of malice, and some were full of kindness.
They don't care.
They took the bus to the Empire State Building and looked at the towering building in front of them in silence for a long time.
Having done her homework in advance, Song Shuqian said, "The Empire State Building was completed in 1931, is 318 meters high, and has 103 floors."
Suppressing the shock in their hearts, they lined up to enter for a visit.
As they stepped into the hall, the luxurious marble decorations, exquisite murals and chandeliers gave them a sense of splendor that made them feel as if they were in a palace of art.
Looking at the 73 elevators running at high speed and the staff and passengers coming in and out, they mechanically joined in.
Arriving at the 102nd floor observation deck and feeling the wind brushing against her cheeks, Song Shuxi was once again shocked by the panoramic view of Gotham City.
The streets are bustling with traffic, the buildings are arranged in an orderly manner, and the Hudson River is sparkling.
She said in her heart that this trip was destined to be unforgettable.
At the same time, a seed in my heart quietly sprouted.
Fearing that she would fall, Wei Jianguo held her in his arms all the time and paid close attention to her at all times.
There were many people hugging each other like them. Song Shuqian noticed a girl in a long off-shoulder dress with long golden hair. She was so beautiful that she didn't look like a real person.
As a woman, she couldn't help but look at it several more times.
Only after coming here did Song Shuqian realize the diversity of fashion. Her and Tiantian’s first business can start from here.
The last stop of the day is Times Square. They want to experience the business atmosphere here and also need to buy souvenirs to take back like every tourist who comes to Gotham City.
Clothes, art and antiques were not an option for them; they wanted to buy something that was absolutely safe to take back home.
Everyone bought chocolates and candies.
Song Shuqian saw a bookstore and went straight in. If you want to know the difference, reading a book is a good choice.
Seeing many products not available in China, Song Shuqian bought them all.
She thought it over and submitted it when she got back, letting the higher-ups decide which ones could be used.
This shouldn't cause any trouble.
Of course out of selfish motives, she bought a lot of things that An An Lele needed.
