Jamie handed Serena a RIM950, a "mobile phone" launched by a Canadian company in '98.
In the future, it will have a louder name.
Blackberries!
The shape of this BlackBerry is more like a vertical version of a handheld game console, with a large black and white screen and a unique 33-key QWERTY keyboard, which has a bit of a handheld computer feel.
However, it is not accurate to say that it is a mobile phone, as it does not have a live call function.
Aside from this only drawback, the RIM950 is all about the pros.
The battery life, wireless connectivity, and the creative addition of real-time email sending are the last of those key and why Jamie asked Serena to give it a try.
Serena took the letter suspiciously and tried to send an email to Blair.
Then there was the long wait.
During this time, Serena used her and Jamie's two mobile phones to call and text people she knew in New York, but unfortunately none of them could be connected.
Because of the 911 attacks, the communication network of New York City was paralyzed.
Serena was now aware of something terrible that might be happening in New York, and she immediately began to pack her belongings and prepare for Jamie to take him to the nearest airport.
She was going back to New York at once.
Jamie didn't stop it, because saying anything didn't work at this point.
Unless he told Serena what was going on in New York, he couldn't explain why he knew it in advance.
At this point, one can only hope that Blair will see the email sooner.
Finally, just as Serena was packing her suitcase and preparing to go out, she received a reply email from Blair on the RIM950.
"It's horrible, I can't believe it's real."
"Just as we were talking, two airliners crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Towers, the streets were covered in black smoke, and the honking of police cars, fire trucks and ambulances pierced the sky, and the whole of New York was in a state of panic."
"The school just organized our evacuation, and now I'm in a café next to Central Park, and thankfully it's connected to the internet."
"Everybody's cell phones can't get through, text messages don't work, I can't contact my family right now, and the only good news at the moment is that no one I know has a home or workplace near the World Trade Towers, and I hope everyone in these two buildings is safe."
After reading Blair's email in a hurry, Serena dragged her suitcase and walked out.
That's when Jamie stops her.
"Serena, listen to me, if Blair says that's true, then I'm afraid it won't help you to rush to the airport now."
Serena shouted at Jamie emotionally:
"Why?"
Jamie put his arm on Serena's shoulder.
"The collision of two passenger planes into the World Trade Center was not an accident, but a premeditated terrorist attack, and the White House and airlines were probably aware of this no matter how slow they responded, so I dare say that all planes on the ground in the United States have been asked to ground except for those planes that are still in the sky."
These words calmed Serena completely.
She immediately picked up the RIM950 and sent an email to her mother, Lily, and grandmother, Sissi, as well as an email back to Blair, asking her to help contact her mother, Lily.
After doing all this, the two went to the living room together and turned on the TV.
Westar News has been urgently inserting news of the terrorist attack in New York and announcing that the president has ordered a state of emergency in the United States.
With the RIM950 in her hand, Serena anxiously walked around the TV, praying for the safety of her family and friends in New York.
Jamie, dressed in pajamas, stands in front of the TV with a remote control in his hand.
His focus was not on 911 itself, but on the elegant and powerful blonde presenter on TV.
Her name is Gretchen Carlson and she is currently the lead host of Westar News.
Looking at the face on the TV screen that resembles the previous Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman, Jamie's eyes finally fall on the Westar News logo.
It must be said that Westar News understands the audience.
Even when reporting on a catastrophic event like 911, the hostess still wears a low-cut tight skirt that shows off her figure.
Even the announcer station is a transparent table, which makes it more convenient for the audience to appreciate the host's beautiful figure and long legs at a glance.
The guy who came up with the idea was Roger Ells, CEO of Westar News.
Ever since 1996, media mogul Logan Roy authorized Els to form the Westar News Channel, and it has become a gathering place for sexy and tall female hostesses.
One of the mantras that Els often has on his lips is:
"If the TV station wants to be uninterrupted 24 hours a day, it must have something that can retain the audience, that is, a woman's long legs!"
It worked.
Westar News ratings are climbing, with an average of more than 2 million viewers tuning in to Westar News every day.
Els has built the Roy family's most profitable asset, with Weststar News alone accounting for one-third of the entire Weststar Media Group.
However, in Jamie's previous life, there was no media mogul named Logan Roy, and there was no Westa News Channel.
Only Murdoch and Fox News.
This Logan is a character in an American drama filmed based on Murdoch, and Westar News corresponds to Fox News in his previous life.
As for Roger Ells and Gretchen Carlson, they did have their own people in their previous lives, but they didn't look like the fair-skinned, tall and sexy appearance on the TV screen in front of them.
At this time, Gretchen can refer to Nicole Kidman when she starred in "Batman Forever" in her previous life, and she was at the peak of her appearance.
It's no wonder that one person has carried the banner of Weisda News Channel's ratings.
The TV was scrolling with the latest news about the World Trade Tower, when suddenly Jamie's cell phone rang.
Serena picks up her phone, only to be disappointed to find that the call is from Jamie's father, John.
On the phone, John tells Jamie about the 911 incident, and Jamie says he's watching TV.
The father and son chatted tacitly and hung up the phone.
It wasn't long before Lee, Beth, and Keith all arrived at the cabin where Jamie lived.
More information was revealed in the news at this time, and the Pentagon was also hit by a passenger plane, and another hijacked plane crashed in Pennsylvania.
Beth comforted Serena, who was sitting on the couch with her face covered, anxiously waiting for news.
At this moment, two email replies were received on the RIM950 at the same time.
One from Blair and one from Serena's mother, Lily.
All are safe.
Serena, who read the email, cried with joy and hugged Beth and cried bitterly.
Jamie stepped forward to comfort him, and Lee and Keys were silent.
For the vast majority of ordinary Americans like them, 911 was truly a disastrous day.
