New York City, the largest city and largest port in the United States, is also one of the largest cities in the world. Strategically located in the northeastern part of the East Coast of the United States, it is the most populous city in the United States and a multi-ethnic and diverse city, with immigrants from 97 countries and more than 800 languages spoken.

When you talk about this cosmopolitan city, what strikes you most is the commercial and financial impact it has on the world's economy. The famous "Wall Street" is located in New York's Lower Manhattan, which is truly thunderous, and it is the weather vane that guides the direction of the global financial market.

In addition to business and finance, the city is no slouch in other ways, with Columbia, New York University, Rockefeller University and many other prestigious schools, as well as dazzling Broadway, Fifth Avenue, Lincoln Center, and the world-famous New York Fashion Week, all of which indicate that it also has an extraordinary influence in the fields of education, entertainment and fashion.

The city of New York is also known by many other names, and the "Big Apple" is often referred to by the American population, and the origin of this name will not be described here, but it is nothing more than the official propaganda effect. The tall name "Gotham City" may be better known than the dirty nickname of "The Big Apple", which originally came from a fictional city in DC Comics, the hometown of the superhero "Batman".

In the original comic content, it was not clearly stated which city in the United States "Gotham City" refers to, and there were a lot of speculations and conjectures, and then I didn't know what those comic fans thought, anyway, it was a comparison and comparison, and it was found that New York City and Gotham City were the closest in terms of fit, so in the end, New York inexplicably added a new nickname of "Gotham City", which was also widely recognized.

In fact, New York is more appropriately called the "city that never sleeps" than these two titles, as it literally indicates the prosperity of the entire city, but now the world's largest cities have similar names, so it is not conspicuous

Of course, since it is called the "city that never sleeps", it naturally shows that the nightlife here is extremely colorful, all kinds of KTV, bars, disco bars, dance halls, nightclubs, etc. are all carnival all night, and those who are tormented by the pressure of work and life during the day are almost out of breath, in this noisy night to find a place to release their suppressed emotions.

The deafening music, the drinking and drinking, the men and women dancing wildly, and even the hidden ugliness all combine to form an alternative world that is different from the sunny day.

But not everyone seems to be intoxicated by this world of drunkenness, a young woman with long hair, a tall and voluptuous figure, wearing a long beige trench coat and high boots, weaves through the crowd of revelers, she stands on her heels and turns her head, as if looking for someone.

It wasn't until her eyes fell on the row of booths in the corner and saw that she was looking for a character that she smiled, walked with graceful and rhythmic steps, bypassed those boring men who wanted to come forward to talk, and quietly walked towards the target person who had been looking for a long time.

When she approached, she saw three people sitting in this row of booths, a man and two women, who completely ignored their surroundings and entertained themselves. And one of the men is an Asian at first glance, and he is also the most conspicuous among the three, under a fresh and neat short hair, he sets off a face with a clear contour, but he does not lose his handsome face, a pair of constantly flashing peach blossom eyes bring a bit of softness and cynicism to this man, and the evil smile at the corner of his mouth seems to make those women feel the somewhat bad essence exuded from his bones, adding a bit of masculine charm.

This person is wearing a sky blue casual shirt, with two sleeves rolled up to the forearm, and there are two buttons below the neckline that are not buttoned, and the chest muscles that are slightly exposed can be faintly seen. If those big men in Europe and the United States are compared to bears, then this man is like a leopard, strong and elegant.

However, this leopard-like man is a little bohemian at the moment, holding a convex and backward one on the left and right, the blonde beauty with a good figure whispering and laughing, and there are several bottles of wine on the coffee table in front of him, two of which are empty, it seems that these three have drunk a lot, and they don't even notice that there is one more person in front of them.

"I knew you were fooling around here!" The woman in the trench coat lightly opened her lips and said coquettishly.

"Why are you here?" The man looked at each other in surprise, and then patted the buttocks of the two blonde beauties next to him with interest, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry~ Two big beauties, our carnival today may end early, you see that I have friends coming to talk about some more private things, so I'm very sorry!" You can go to the bar and order more drinks and food, it's all mine! ”

As soon as the two beauties left, the man took out a clean glass, put a few ice cubes, poured in the whiskey, and complained by the way: "Please!" Please don't talk to me in this bed-catching tone, O.K? You're not my girlfriend, so why bother me! ”

Hearing this, the woman in the trench coat chuckled, took off her coat and put it aside, and then sat down diagonally opposite the man unceremoniously, picked up the wine glass and took a shallow sip, and then began to tease the other party again: "Aren't you afraid that I will tell Sika everything you did today?" ”

"Don't put that name in front of me, she doesn't have anything to do with me anymore!" The man looked at the wine glass that was shaking in his hand and said in a flat tone.

"Hmph~ It's strange to believe what you said! If you really don't care so much, then why did you firmly disagree when I proposed that the two of us try to have a relationship? Does that mean I'm not as pretty as Sika she's? ”

"Please! The two of us are close to each other! It's the kind of good friend who has more than a friend and is not yet a lover! O.K~ If you can touch your heart today and swear to God, just say, 'I, Stella have completely forgotten about Choi Siwon, and from today onwards, I love Choi Jin-ryong wholeheartedly!'" In that case, I could have reluctantly taken you, do you dare? ”

"Cut~ Then you also touched your heart and swore to God, 'I, Cui Zhenlong, no longer love Zheng Xiuyan, I will love Stella from now on, and I will never die!' If you can do that, so can I! ”

"Unfortunately, I don't believe in God!"

"Hmph~ quibble! I knew you were still thinking about Sika! ”

This time the man was silent, did not refute the other party, he drank the wine in one gulp, and finally sighed: "The two of us can really be said to be sympathetic to each other!" ”

Seeing this, all book lovers should be able to guess that the man and woman in the dispute with each other are Cui Zhenlong, the protagonist of this book, and Stella, who was a trainee at S.M. Company.

It is somewhat coincidental that they can reunite in New York, in the second year after Cui Zhenlong successfully entered the Stern School of Business of New York University in September 05, that is, in the fall of 06, Stella, who withdrew from the "darling of the times" selection and was devastated by the loss of love, also returned to her birthplace in the United States, and then through a year of hard work, she was also successfully admitted to the Stern School of Business of New York University, becoming Cui Zhenlong's veritable student.

The two met again at a Korean hometown meeting, because they knew each other and had similar emotional experiences, so the two quickly became very good friends, and the relationship was a big step forward compared to the original in South Korea.

"Zhenlong, do you really plan to go back to South Korea in a few days?" Stella asked, tilting her head and staring into the other's eyes.

"En~ I haven't been back to South Korea for almost four years, if I don't go back, it is estimated that my doll mother will fly to the United States in person, and then break my legs and drag it back!" Cui Zhenlong nodded and said with a wry smile.

"And what about your studies?"

"I have already submitted my master's thesis to Professor Smith (PS: Professor Smith is a fabricated figure), and I am waiting for the final defense, and if I can pass it successfully, then I will continue to study for a doctorate degree at Seoul National University in South Korea as an exchange student."

In this regard, Stella nodded understandingly, as one of the few female friends of Cui Zhenlong in the United States, of course she knew how hard the other party had worked at New York University in recent years, in the eyes of those Americans, Cui Zhenlong's life was completely like an ascetic, the daily sleep time was strictly controlled below four hours, and most of the rest of the time was spent on studying, even during the Chinese New Year and winter and summer vacations, he found various excuses to stay in the United States, Unless it is an important or unshirkable social event that requires participation, he will change his schedule for this purpose. It is precisely because of such demanding requirements that he was able to complete all the courses at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels of finance in just three years.

However, in the past six months, Cui Zhenlong's life has changed a little, no longer blindly boring to study and study, he can also be seen shuttling in many social occasions and parties, of course, all kinds of women like a marquee are also indispensable, at least as far as Stella has seen, there are no less than a dozen or so who appear next to Cui Zhenlong.
