In the bazaar of a Middle Eastern port city, Odin and Osa had pleasant conversations with local merchants and learned many little-known stories about the desert trade routes.
Odin picked up an exquisite handmade carpet with great interest and asked about the price and production process.
The merchants enthusiastically introduced everything from the selection of raw materials to the weaving techniques. Odin listened intently and turned to Osa and said, "Third brother, if you take these carpets back home as gifts for your family, they will surely like them."
Osa nodded in agreement and began helping Odin choose colors and patterns.
Leonor and Huang Yunxi lingered in front of the spice stall, where the unique aroma of a mixture of various spices filled the air.
Leonor picked up a small bag of spices, sniffed it gently, and said to Huang Yunxi, "This smells so special. I'm going to try making some Middle Eastern food for Odin when I get home."
Huang Yunxi smiled and joked, "You only have eyes for Odin, but these spices are really good. I'll pick some back for Osalu."
As they were choosing, they exchanged cooking experiences and laughed happily from time to time.
The few of them strolled around the market for a long time and returned to the yacht with a lot of gains.
As night falls, the moonlight shines on the sea, making the waves sparkle.
Everyone sat around on the deck, sharing what they had seen and heard today.
Leonor excitedly showed off the jewelry and spices she bought, while Odin told the legendary story of the desert trade route. Osa and Huang Yunxi listened attentively and asked questions from time to time.
At this time, Xiao Zhen was listening to Feng Yi's follow-up report on the crackdown on criminal forces at the Quantum Security Headquarters.
"We've already interrogated the arrested members of the criminal organization and gained more information about the behind-the-scenes operations." After Feng Yi finished his report, Xiao Zhen paused in thought and said, "We must thoroughly investigate this matter. We must not leave any hidden dangers behind and ensure the safety of our families and partners."
After finishing his work, Xiao Zhen couldn't help but think of Odin and Osa who were traveling abroad, and called Odin.
"Dad, we are in the Middle East. It's really interesting here." Odin received the call and excitedly shared his travel details.
Xiao Zhen listened to his son's story with a gratified smile on his face. "Just have fun, but be careful. By the way, what are your plans next?"
Odin looked at Leonor beside him and said, "We still want to stay in the Middle East for a while, experience the desert, and then slowly return to Europe." Xiao Zhen gave a few instructions and hung up the phone.
The next day, Odin and his party rented a few camels and headed deep into the desert under the guidance of a local guide.
The scenery of the desert is magnificent and mysterious, with rolling sand dunes glowing golden under the sunlight.
Leonor rode on the camel, holding the reins tightly, feeling both nervous and excited: "Odin, this desert is even more spectacular than I imagined." Odin smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, I'm here."
On the way, we stopped at an oasis.
The clear lake water reflects the blue sky and the surrounding date palm trees, like a paradise.
Osa and Huang Yunxi were walking by the lake. Osa suddenly stopped and said to Huang Yunxi seriously, "Yunxi, this trip has made me more certain that I want to walk with you forever. Will you marry me?"
Huang Yunxi's eyes sparkled with tears as she nodded vigorously: "I do."
When Odin and Leonor saw this scene, they came forward to congratulate them, and their laughter and joy echoed in the desert.
After returning to the yacht, everyone was still immersed in joy. Odin suggested holding a small celebration party, and everyone responded.
The yacht was decorated with colorful balloons and flowers, and the chef prepared sumptuous food and exquisite cakes.
Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate, Osa and Huang Yunxi snuggled together happily, and Odin and Leonor were also happy for them.
At the same time, in Dubai, the financial center of the Middle East, the new financial plan promoted by Xiao Zhen is being implemented in full swing.
Inside a modern financial building, the staff of a newly established financial institution are busy and orderly.
Various financial data are jumping on the big screen in real time, showing the results of the initial operation of the new financial system.
The new global settlement central bank system, the new SOFT international cross-border settlement system, is being tested here with local financial institutions.
The technicians stared at the computer screen nervously, constantly checking data and debugging the system.
Project leader Dr. Wang frowned, staring intently at the data scrolling on the screen, muttering to himself, "Almost there, just the last bit."
Assistant Xiao Li asked anxiously, "Dr. Wang, will there be any problems with the system integration? This is a key step in our new financial plan."
Dr. Wang took a deep breath and said firmly, "Don't worry, we have done so much preparation in the early stage just for this moment.
Everyone, please check again carefully to make sure everything is correct."
Some of the Middle East's largest companies have shown strong interest in the new financial scheme.
Mr. Amir, an executive of an oil company, said during discussions with the new financial institution: "We are always looking for more efficient and secure financial solutions. The new SOFT system is expected to break the limitations of traditional financial settlement and reduce our transaction costs and risks.
But I am still a little worried. Is the stability and security of this new system really guaranteed? "
Li Ming, a representative of the new financial institution, responded confidently: "Mr. Amir, your concerns are completely understandable. The new SOFT system uses the most advanced blockchain encryption technology and multiple security protection mechanisms. After countless simulation tests and actual combat drills, its stability and security far exceed those of traditional settlement systems."
