"Hello? Is this Zhou Jing? Hello, this is Zhang Zian. When you were running the day before yesterday … "
Early in the morning of the third day, Zhang Zian stood on the balcony of the guesthouse. At about the same time as when Zhou Jing ran here the day before yesterday, he did not see her. He guessed that she had changed her running route or time. After waiting for a while, he called her.
Because Zhou Jing did not bring her cell phone when she ran, he felt that the possibility of this call going through was not great. He was mentally prepared to call again in half an hour. He did not expect that after a few rings, the phone was connected.
Zhou Jing's voice came from the other end of the phone. "Ah … Oh, hello."
Zhang Zian did not know if it was the phone that caused the change in her voice. Zhou Jing's voice was a little hoarse, not as clear as when he met her the day before yesterday.
Zhang Zian was a little embarrassed and said, "That … I want to go to the aquarium today. I don't know if it's convenient for you …"
If it was just for himself, he would definitely not ask for this favor, but going to the aquarium was just an opportunity. He mainly wanted to help Jiang Feifei build a relationship and see if he could find an internship or job opportunity through Zhou Jing. However, it was not convenient to ask someone for help right away, especially someone he had just met.
"Okay, come over. Call me when you're here," Zhou Jing replied.
"Right, I haven't asked which aquarium you're from …" Zhang Zian asked, embarrassed.
Zhou Jing said, "Sorry, I forgot to tell you. It's the Monterey Aquarium."
"Okay, see you in a bit."
Zhang Zian hung up the phone awkwardly. He always felt that he would be treated as a favor.
The Monterey Aquarium was one of the most prestigious aquariums in the United States and even the world. It was said that in 1978, one of the founders of Hewlett-Packard spent 55 million dollars to support his daughter who was studying marine biology at Stanford …
55 million dollars in 1978!
Please give me a dozen fathers like this!
However, he had never heard of a mermaid show in the Monterey Aquarium. Was it a new project?
In any case, the Monterey Aquarium was the best choice. The other two aquariums, one in San Francisco and the other in San Diego, were more like a children's amusement park.
Old Time Tea asked doubtfully, "Zian, leaving Peter Lee alone … is there no problem?"
The elfins had already heard that at the foundation's celebration last night, Zhang Zian had met Peter Lee again. Peter Lee seemed to be making friends with San Francisco's celebrities and nobles, using this to expand his network. He had donated a lot of money to the foundation for this purpose. Philanthropy could always win the favor of others, and people who were passionate about philanthropy were born with extra points in the minds of others.
Moreover, doing charity could also prove one's wealth. Which poor person would want to do charity?
In Old Time Tea's view, Peter Lee's bewitching activities were exactly the same as the ancient China's Five Bucketfuls of Rice Sect. They were all lies, using people's superstitions to attract believers and achieve ulterior motives.
The only question was, what exactly was Peter Lee plotting?
Zhang Zian shook his head. "We can't do anything about it. It's not illegal in the United States, and the general public might even be grateful to them."
He was just a tourist, not even an American citizen. What right did he have to care about Peter Lee? If he forcibly stopped them, Peter Lee might call the police to arrest him and deport him. It was better to be patient for the time being and observe quietly in the dark.
After breakfast, he and the elfins hurried to set off because the distance was not close. It was hard to imagine that Zhou Jing actually worked in such a far place, or did she not always live in downtown San Francisco? The latter was more likely.
The Monterey Oceanarium was located on the Monterey Peninsula, more than 100 kilometers from San Francisco. There were many famous attractions along the way, such as Silicon Valley and Stanford University.
Wandering around the world-famous university, sitting on the grass for a while, feeling the atmosphere of the top students, reminded Zhang Zian of his own school days.
Silicon Valley was a gathering of elites. Countless high-tech companies had their headquarters here. Maybe one of the companies would launch a product tomorrow that could change the world.
In addition, there was a little-known town along the way, nicknamed Butterfly Town. It was said that from October to March every year, countless monarch butterflies would stay in the town for the winter. However, the last thing Zhang Zian wanted to see was butterflies. Fortunately, it was summer, and there were no butterflies in Butterfly Town.
After Butterfly Town, Monterey was not far ahead. He found the location of the oceanarium through navigation.
Today was not a weekend, nor was it a holiday. There were not many cars parked around the oceanarium, so it was easy to find a parking space.
He stopped the car, picked up his phone, and was about to call Zhou Jing again. Richard suddenly pinched his shoulder and said, "Hey? You idiot, look ahead. Who is that? "
Zhang Zian looked up, wondering if it was Peter Lee again. No matter what, Peter Lee would not come to the oceanarium. What could he want here?
His eyes unconsciously glanced at the man in front of him, looking for traces of Peter Lee, but he did not see him. Instead, he saw a somewhat familiar figure.
"That … isn't that Snowy? Why is she here? "
At first, he thought he was mistaken. He rubbed his eyes and looked again. It was indeed Snowy.
It was rare to meet her abroad, but it was not appropriate to greet her. He thought so, and then called the elfins to get out of the car.
"Hello, everyone …"
Snowy was facing the phone camera. Just as she was about to say the usual opening remarks to the audience in the live broadcast room, a head suddenly stretched out in front of her, blocking her from the phone. She was shocked.
"Hello everyone, I am the hottie store manager!"
Zhang Zian's face suddenly appeared in the live broadcast room. His two hands were still making a V shape next to his head. Because he was too close to the camera, his face was distorted. The audience was all shocked, and after they realized what was going on, they started cursing.
"Mr. Store … Mr. Store Manager, why are you here?"
Snowy was surprised and a little happy. She took a few steps back and pointed the phone at him.
"Why can't I be here?" Zhang Zian asked. "If you can come, why can't I come?"
"No … I didn't mean that …" Snowy clarified. "I mean …"
"Wait a minute." Zhang Zian waved his hand, interrupting her explanation. "I'll make a phone call first."
He dialed Zhou Jing's number. Within a few minutes, Zhou Jing came out of the oceanarium, but her face was very bad, and her walking posture was weak.
