Midtown Manhattan is arguably the most expensive location on the planet, with the world's largest urban garden, Central Park, the most luxurious residential complex, skyscrapers one after another, and the densest density of boutiques, from top-of-the-line luxury to handmade, each building has its own legend.

When the car drove to Central Park, Cheng Xiaoyu turned his head to look at the direction of the lush greenery, he had passed by Central Park many times, but he had never risen to go in and take a look, at this time they were passing by the statue of Central Park on the east side of 59th Street, McDowell saw Cheng Xiaoyu's eyes fall on the shining statue and said: "This golden statue symbolizes peace, and we have the most things that symbolize peace in the United States, but we in the United States are indeed the countries that have waged the most wars in modern times........"

Everywhere in the park, you can see gray-haired ladies sitting on well-dressed benches reading books, and of course there are dog.walkers, leading ten local tyrant dogs of the Upper East Side around the park, and children running in the middle of the balloons and laughing like silver bells, this is the United States, a country that is neither heaven nor hell.

And Cheng Xiaoyu's feelings for the United States are very complicated, even if he has lived here for more than ten years, he still feels that he is just a passerby.

McDowell parked the car on the side of the road and told Cheng Xiaoyu to wait for a while, he waited for McDowell to get out of the car, watched him walk into the shop on the street, exhaled a deep breath, and then coughed a few times, he didn't speak for so long, he felt that his throat was uncomfortable, and he subconsciously wanted to answer the question a few times, but he still held back, and at the moment he had a feeling that he would not be happy if he didn't shout.

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't think there was anything abnormal about McDowell's excessive enthusiasm for him, after all, most Americans are like this, and it is very common to talk to each other in the United States, and even two strangers may become friends or lovers after chatting casually.

But Cheng Xiaoyu did not get infected with the open personality of Americans because he lived in the United States, originally his personality was a little introverted, so he did not integrate into the circle of American students, and he was fat at the time, and he was often made fun of, so when he lived in the United States, he was actually a little self-enclosed, and this situation did not change until after the car accident.

It didn't take long for McDowell to get into the car with a few bottles of wine and drinks, he put the plastic bag with things in the back seat, and then started the car and said to Cheng Xiaoyu: "In our United States, to participate in a party, you have to bring things to the door, alcohol, drinks or food, it doesn't need to be too expensive, basically if you are arranged to bring drinks, if you don't specify what it is, it's okay to bring two large cans of family Coke, our American party is the best portrayal of the spirit of participation and sharing." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu nodded and said that he knew that although he had been in the United States for so many years, he had no other entertainment except for practicing, neither participated nor invited him to a party, speaking of which, today was the first time to attend a student party in the United States. But this basic party common sense is still known......

McDowell told Cheng Xiaoyu some precautions for participating in American parties, there are different dress requirements for different parties, but as long as it is not a banquet and a ball, it is actually very casual, don't go too early to participate in the party, in order to avoid embarrassment for yourself or the host, depending on the nature of the party, it is best to be five minutes to an hour or two late......

As they spoke, the two arrived at the party location, at the intersection of Thirty-Sixth Avenue and Lexington Avenue, and McDowell carefully found the house number and came to the outside of a villa that looked to be some years old. People who can buy a villa in this location are naturally either rich or expensive, but Cheng Xiaoyu doesn't know much about New York, so he naturally doesn't know its expensive value, and of course he doesn't care.

McDowell parked the car, brought wine and drinks and beckoned Cheng Xiaoyu to join him into the courtyard with a European-style independent door, the party at Columbia Business School is naturally not the kind of DJ DJ group dancing around, it is a slightly more formal cocktail party, before entering, McDowell whispered to Cheng Xiaoyu with an exaggerated expression: "Rain, if someone makes a fuss and says that you are beautiful, don't pay attention to him, we Americans are the most casual, pompous, hypocritical, and insincere group of people in the world who use language." ........ One of the manifestations of this is the misuse of adjectives. Of course, I'm not saying you're not pretty, but leaving them alone will save you a lot of trouble......."

Cheng Xiaoyu nodded to indicate that he knew, and walked into the living room side by side with McDowell, he was actually a little curious about how the top students of the American Ivies League lived.

This living room has a super high ceiling, a square pattern, 3 bright orientations are inlaid with floor-to-ceiling glass, and there are already many people standing in the sunlight in the living room.

When McDowell and Cheng Xiaoyu entered, they attracted the attention of many people, and one of the tall boys with glasses immediately walked over, greeted McDowell affectionately, and said, "Hey, Mike, which oriental beauty are you talking about?" ”

McDowell hugged the man with glasses and said, "Hey, Davin, this is a young lady from Huaxia, just call her rain, her voice has been a little uncomfortable recently, and she may not be able to speak......"

Dai Wen blinked and turned his head to Cheng Xiaoyu and said, "Beautiful lady, I'm so glad to know you, you are the most beautiful oriental woman I have ever seen, mysterious and elegant....... What is the name of that Chinese actress........ And beautiful ......."

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't look embarrassed at all, at this moment he was already able to wear women's clothes and get used to all kinds of sights, he smiled and thanked him.

Devin took the wine and drinks handed over by McDowell, then pulled him aside, and said with a serious expression: "Mike, what is your relationship with this rain?" Hey! It's better not to have anything to do with it...... Ekaterina was already on her way....... You're her boyfriend........"

When McDowell heard Devon's words, he said a little depressedly: "Why didn't you say she was coming earlier!" If I knew, I wouldn't have come, and I've already texted her about breaking up! ”

Devin said with some dissatisfaction: "I really don't know what's wrong with Catherina!" I can't take care of the two of you, I think you have to make it clear to Ekaterina in person if there is anything, the text message is too rude. ”

McDowell smiled wryly and said, "Okay, I know, I'll talk to her when she comes." ”

Devin patted McDowell on the shoulder to express comfort, and then asked, "What is the origin of this beautiful Chinese chick?" First-year freshmen? Such a hot girl, why don't I know? ”

McDowell hammered Dai on his bra and warned him: "She's not a student at our school, don't beat her idea, she's the daughter of a big Chinese conglomerate......

Dai Wen raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and said, "OK, OK, don't worry!" I'm not going to touch her...... But you see the chicks you've brought are really welcoming, and the two 'future leaders' of Smith and Anderson are gone......."

At this time, Cheng Xiaoyu was surrounded by two boys with blond curly hair and freckles, both of whom were wearing plaid shirts, and began to ask after introducing themselves: "Beautiful young lady, are you interested in finance?" ”

Cheng Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly, he wanted to hear what the top students of Columbia University wanted to show off.

Smith, who was dressed in blue, immediately smiled and said: "Then you must know that on June 24 this year, the European Commission finally and unconditionally approved the acquisition of the New York Stock Exchange by the Intercontinental Exchange for $8.2 billion in cash and shares. ”

When this happened, Cheng Xiaoyu was still in prison and didn't know, so Cheng Xiaoyu shook his head.

Smith smiled and explained to Cheng Xiaoyu: "Such a statement may be a bit too professional, and it doesn't seem to be bloody, but it conveys a subtle message, as a geographical sense of "Wall Street", it may have completely come to an end." Between the words, a sense of the vicissitudes of worrying about the country and the people arose spontaneously.

Then Smith and Anderson began to review the history of Wall Street for Cheng Xiaoyu, an East Asian girl, and the people who dominated the streets, McDowell came over when he saw this, and said to the two boys who were still talking, and then pulled Cheng Xiaoyu away, while saying to him: "Don't pay attention to these 'future leaders', accidentally get entangled by them, they can chat with you for hours in their field of expertise, whether you are interested or not, he will tell you that they have a good understanding of their current 3. The GPA of 89 is very dissatisfied, and then I will discuss with you the acceptance rate of each top business school and its own characteristics. ”

Cheng Xiaoyu thought to himself that this is probably the characteristic of American scholars, and it is a completely different character from the Chinese scholars who "only read sage books and don't listen to things outside the window".

Then McDowell introduced Cheng Xiaoyu to the various people in the hall, including green environmental activists, vegetarians, speakers, and sister groups......

But just as McDowell and Cheng Xiaoyu were talking, the situation suddenly changed, and a rush of high heels came from the door of the living room, and a girl with pale golden wavy curls, not too long hair scattered behind her head, and occasionally a light light, there was a feeling of veil and fog in the eyes of everyone.

She is wearing a dark purple dress, but unfortunately her breasts are not magnificent, so there are no deep and charming ravines, but the curves and proportions are still good, and her somewhat puffing expression looks cute and a little sexy....... It's a standard blonde beauty.

Everyone in the hall saw this attention-grabbing little wild cat, but their expressions were different, McDowell was annoyed, while the other boys were a little envious, most of the girls were disgusted and jealous, only Cheng Xiaoyu felt that it was a big deal, and suddenly had a feeling that he was not being used as a gun by McDowell.

The blonde girl walked up to McDowell and Cheng Xiaoyu with some anger, first looked Cheng Xiaoyu, who was much taller than her, up and down with an awe-inspiring attitude, and then turned her head and asked McDowell: "Mike, who is this?" ”

McDowell's handsome face was expressionless, just shrugged and said, "Catherine, this is my friend Rain....... There was some indescribable pain in his blue eyes.

Catherine crossed her hands on her hips and said, "Friend? Friends who have slept with or kissed? ”

Cheng Xiaoyu was a little speechless when she heard such direct words, and she wanted to take off her wig very much and tell her: "Girl, you misunderstood." ”

McDowell didn't explain that it was just an ordinary relationship with Cheng Xiaoyu, but said softly: "Catherine, I think I've already told you, the two of us are not suitable, we should break up......."

"Mike, did you say that because of my father's threat? You leave him alone...... For your sake and I can run away from home....... We can start a new life........." said Catherine, crying a little:

McDowell heard Catherine mention her father, recalled the Russian oligarch with a head like a light bulb, shuddered and said: "No, no, Catherine, I think you misunderstood, Mr. Konstantin just expressed his concern for you, and any decision I made was because of the conflict between our two personalities......." Then he glanced at Cheng Xiaoyu with infinite affection and said: "To be honest, I like a cold and quiet girl like rain, and your enthusiasm makes me a little unbearable." ....... Can you let me go? ”

McDowell's words were sincere, and his expression was also in place, but Cheng Xiaoyu still observed McDowell's slightly trembling hands, and instantly understood that McDowell was somewhat insincere. Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't judge what it was for, but he knew that he was innocently lying on the gun.

Catherine glanced at Cheng Xiaoyu fiercely, Cheng Xiaoyu didn't want to be a backbiter, not to mention that he was still a man, so he hurriedly walked away to show his innocence.

Ekaterina said with tears in her eyes: "You bastard......... In vain, I copied a summer vacation note for you. Then she waved her hand and slapped McDowell directly.

McDowell didn't dodge, not even his head.

Before turning to leave, Catherine said with resentment: "You will regret it........"

At this time, McDowell was facing the door of the hall, everyone was behind him, and his expression could not be seen, while Catherine had her back to him, and only Cheng Xiaoyu was by his side, seeing the fleeting sadness and powerlessness in McDowell's eyes........
