After coming to the cool San Francisco, Snowy and her mother ate, drank, and played all day long. They no longer had to stay in an air-conditioned house all day like in Binhai City. Her father, Jiang Tianda, was always busy with meetings and business, and basically did not participate in the mother and daughter's activities.
For convenience and safety, the mother and daughter also stayed in the hotel in North Bay, San Francisco, where Jiang Tianda and the company's executives stayed. The scenery here was good, and they could see the Golden Gate Bridge from the window. A few steps out of the door, they could reach Fisherman's Wharf, which could be said to be a very convenient tourist accommodation.
It was also because they could see the Golden Gate Bridge that they noticed from the morning that the mist had shrouded the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge and was faintly spreading to the south. Seeing this, the mother was worried that it would be cold today, so she planned to wear a leather coat to keep out the cold. However, when she heard Zhang Zian's voice message, her heart wavered.
Tonight, the husband and wife were invited to attend a social dinner together, and a social dinner … Everyone knew that women had to wear evening gowns. If it was cold, they should put on a coat over the evening gown and take it off before entering. Otherwise, it would be easy to catch a cold when the cold wind blew.
At the dinner where celebrities gathered, there might be strong environmentalists and animal protectionists — no, it should be said that there would definitely be, absolutely. It would be strange if there weren't. Otherwise, the San Francisco House of Representatives would not have passed the relevant ban.
If environmentalists and animal protectionists saw her wearing a leather coat, although it would not affect business negotiations, they would certainly have a bad impression of her. They might not be willing to make friends with her. If there were a large number of environmentalists and animal protectionists present, they might even coldly isolate her. If that was the case, it would be embarrassing. This was not a joke.
The purpose of the social dinner was to make friends in politics, business, and academia. It might be useful in the future. It was not worth it to be isolated just because they were wearing leather clothes. If Zhang Zian had not reminded them, they might have even been isolated for no reason.
Not only leather coats, but leather handbags and other animal products should not be brought. This was not fear, tolerance, or hypocrisy, but respect and politeness. Just like when you go to someone else's house, you should at least respect the etiquette and traditions of the other person's house. You know that the other person may hate something, but you still have to bring it. Isn't that going to fight?
Jiang Tianda looked calm on the surface, but in fact, he was very upset. It was such an important detail, but none of his subordinates had reminded him. Instead, it had to be that damn pretentious criminal who reminded him. However, this matter could not be ignored, because details determined success or failure, which made him even more upset.
Of course, the executives might not know about this. After all, this was a new ban, and the company's business had nothing to do with fur products, so no one paid attention to this kind of thing.
Xue's mother, Shi Rong, was worried about what kind of coat to wear over her evening gown tonight. She only had this leather coat on hand, so she might really have to buy one.
But hearing that Snowy planned to go to the national park in the north by herself, Jiang Tianda could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb.
"What's dangerous in a national park? Many people went there to have fun! He had also gone quite a number of times! If other people can go, why can't I? "Snowy thought that her father was just trying to scare her and argued back.
"Nothing dangerous? Look at the newspaper yourself. "Jiang Tianda pulled out a newspaper and threw it to her.
Snowy picked up the newspaper and looked at it. Except for Arabic numbers, it was all in English. She had a headache, so she threw it aside and said, "Just tell me, I don't want to read it."
Jiang Tianda snorted, pointed to a picture in the newspaper and said, "A few days ago, a 19-year-old girl who just went to college went hiking in the national park and disappeared. The local county police sent many people into the forest to look for her, but they haven't found her until today."
He was not deliberately trying to scare Snowy. The national parks in the United States were vast, and most of them were original forests or canyons. Only a small number of scenic routes were opened up for tourists to hike or drive. But sometimes young people who were adventurous or just looking for fun would go deeper into the forest to camp alone or in groups.
In China, tourists often got lost in the mountains. Forest parks in the United States were larger and more likely to encounter accidents.
Every year, an unknown number of people went missing in major forest parks in the United States. Some were eventually found, and some disappeared forever. Of course, the number of people who disappeared in the forest park was too small compared to the total number of people who disappeared every day in the United States. It did not attract much attention. If it was a child going missing, it might attract attention, but an adult … People might say, "Who told you to go play in the forest?"
Although Snowy only planned to go to a small forest park near San Francisco, her parents still could not rest assured to let a young girl like her, who was not familiar with the place and was not very proficient in the language, go alone. What if she was harassed by a careless tramp?
This was not China. In China, enthusiastic netizens would help her call the police. If she encountered danger in a forest park, she would not even know how to report her location to the American police.
Snowy did not care. She had a pepper spray with her, and her physical strength was good. Couldn't she run when she encountered bad people?
No matter how she persuaded her parents to rest assured, they firmly refused to let her go alone. Her mother persuaded her to go shopping with her, and her father said he would take her to Silicon Valley to broaden her horizons. She would rather stay in the hotel than go out for the former, and she would rather be killed for the latter.
Snowy thought about it, pointed to the phone and said, "If you are so worried, how about I ask my friend to go with me? Of course, it depends on whether he has time or not. "
"A man? Then I am even more worried. "Jiang Tianda pulled a long face.
"Haha, it doesn't matter. You didn't watch my live broadcast, so you don't know. That guy is harmless. Even cats can bully him, and people gave him the nickname 'Chi'. In case of danger, I will run first. He may not be able to run faster than me," Snowy explained confidently.
Jiang Tianda said, "Even Chi is a man."
But her mother said, "I think it's okay. If it is a girl, you will say that it is not safe for two girls to go together."
This sentence made Jiang Tianda speechless.
Snowy was afraid that her parents would go back on their word, so she quickly sent a message to Zhang Zian and asked, "Today I plan to go to the Red Shirt National Park in the north to do a live broadcast. That … Do you have any plans today? If not, are you interested in making a cameo appearance? By the way, food and drinks on the road are on me. "
Zhang Zian replied almost instantly, "Okay!"
