Everyone in the room raised their glasses and drank to their heart's content, except for Zhang Lisheng who did not drink at all.
Upon seeing him like this, Tina put down her glass and threw herself into his arms. "Baby, you don't drink? Let's go watch wrestling together in the car later. It's the most exciting mixed competition, you'll definitely like it."
"I never knew that you like watching American wrestling."
"Lisheng, every girl likes to watch two strong men with muscles fighting in the ring." Sheila, who was by the side, smiled drunkenly. "After all, not every skinny boy is as mysterious and charming as you."
"You look like you've drunk too much, Sheila." Zhang Lisheng glanced at Sheila, causing the girl to shudder. Her body shuddered a few times as if she was convulsing. Cold sweat flowed all over her body and her mind became much more sober. "Let's go now if we're going to watch wrestling. If we continue drinking, I'm afraid all of you will be drunk here."
As the young man was speaking, he stood up from the sofa and walked out of the nightclub. Tina was stunned and hurriedly pulled Trish and Sheila to follow behind him. The rest of them had no choice but to walk out of the Cupid Bar in disappointment.
When they came to the empty outdoor room in the middle of the night, the temperature suddenly turned cold and the air became much fresher.
Zhang Lisheng took a few deep breaths of the cold air and walked into the car. Tina followed him and sat in the passenger seat. "Baby, are you angry that Trish, Sheila, and I came to the nightclub to drink and even planned to stay out all night …"
"Of course not!" The young man shook his head in confusion. "This is New York. It's not like I don't know how the young people around me live their lives. As long as you know how to protect yourself, it's nothing."
"Then you don't want me to watch American wrestling? Oh, sh * t, I like wrestling, not like what Sheila said, where I want to watch 'two strong men with muscles all over their bodies fighting in the ring' …"
"I'm not angry. I really don't understand why you think so?"
"Then why did you turn around and leave just now?"
At this time, everyone had already squeezed into the car in silence. The young man was stunned for a moment and thought about it carefully. Then, he started the car and reversed to the road. Alertly, he said, "I'm sorry, Maddie. If it wasn't for your reminder, I wouldn't have realized that my personality seems to have become a lot more carefree these days.
Everything went too smoothly. Although there were twists and turns, the final result was good, whether it was the factory, or other aspects. Moreover, most of the people I met during this period of time were very respectful to me, and almost all of them listened to me … "
"What did you call me?" Tina suddenly asked in a deep voice.
"Of course it's Tina. What's wrong?"
"No, you just called me Maddy."
"Oh, perhaps I've crossed them by accident. Tina, Maddy, these two names are very similar," Zhang Lisheng became silent for a while and explained softly.
"Then when you're with her, will you also call my name by mistake?"
"Of course, it's a missed opportunity," Zhang Lisheng did not know how to answer her. He could only follow what she said just now and bite the bullet.
"But I'm your girlfriend, Zhang Lisheng. How can you call out my name when you see other girls? If it's me, no matter how similar other people's names are to yours, I'll definitely not make a mistake."
"Oh, what the hell? I just said a wrong name, and it's only when I'm apologizing to you.
This doesn't mean anything at all. It's just an unintentional little mistake … "Zhang Lisheng looked at Tina next to him in annoyance. He realized that the girl's face was actually extremely depressed and her eyes were already red." Okay, I'm wrong. Please forgive me, okay? "
"My dear, Lisheng must have made a mistake unintentionally. He has already apologized like this, so don't be angry anymore." Upon hearing that the young man no longer argued and took the initiative to apologize, Trish, who was sitting in the back seat, patted her best friend's shoulder and comforted her.
"Trish, a big company that has a net profit of more than 500 million dollars a year has hired a student who has just entered New York University for less than half a year to be the secretary of the decision-maker. Do you think this is reasonable?"
Trish was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhang Lisheng who was driving with a troubled expression. "Lisheng, explain to Tina, Lisheng. Why did you do this?"
"Explain?
Sh * t! I've never thought about whether it's reasonable for a big company that has a net profit of more than 500 million dollars a year to hire a student who has just entered New York University for two to three months to be the secretary of the decision-maker.
I won't explain this kind of thing. In my opinion, it's really just a simple slip of the tongue. You shouldn't be angry at all … "Zhang Lisheng sighed.
"Perhaps you really think so, Lisheng, but men and women are different. This kind of thing is very harmful to the girl." Sheila, who was by the side, scared Zhang Lisheng with a heavy voice. "I know many couples who have no choice but to break up because of such a small slip of the tongue …"
"Shut up, Sheila Z. Beyat. I know almost all of your friends. Tell me who has broken up with each other because of a slip of the tongue?" Tina, who had been silent, blurted out, "Alright, Lisheng! I'll forgive you this time. Remember, don't do it again."
Upon hearing that the girl had forgiven him, Zhang Lisheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, he said stubbornly, "That's not necessarily the case, Tina. If I pay special attention to this kind of thing, I'll look awkward instead … Oh, it's time for the news.
Oh, it's time for the news. Let's listen to what's new. "
In order to cover up his guilty conscience and change the topic, he casually turned on the radio on the car's center console.
The radio resonated and a clear voice resonated. "According to local observers, Cape Town, the capital of the Western Cape Province in South Africa, has been attacked by unidentified people driving steam armed armored vehicles. It's reported that the government forces have paid a heavy price of sacrificing more than 300 people to repel the attack of the unidentified armed people.
Witnesses said that the weapons used by these armed people are small throwing javelins with air assist. The armed armored vehicles they drive have steam sound holes similar to the ship's whistle … "
To young men, war and games were the topics that they were most interested in. When the boys in the Explorer's carriage heard this funny news, they could not help but laugh and discuss it. "Steam armed armored vehicles and javelins? Oh my god! These Africans are just so humorous! They might as well use spears and blow darts to fight …"
"Oh, you're just too mean, Dukley! A tank driven by a steam internal combustion engine is always better than a sharpened head."
"Sharpen the 'head' of the wooden stick and blow air into the mouth before attacking. Wouldn't it become an air-assisted javelin when it's thrown out …"
However, Zhang Lisheng's expression turned a little grave right away. In his opinion, the news just now most likely represented a sign that the supernatural realm's spatial door that had appeared in a non-militarily powerful country was about to be discovered.
Not only that, it was not the Earthlings who took the initiative to invade the supernatural realm this time. Instead, it was the supernatural realm's people who took the initiative to start a war with the Earthlings. This was not a good sign.
"Lisheng, what are you thinking about?" Tina, who had been glancing at the young man's expression with the corner of her eyes, noticed that his expression had suddenly turned solemn, so she asked in a whisper.
"Nothing.
Tina, remember not to travel to those small countries with weak military forces anymore, no matter how stable the regime is.
The new era has arrived. Now, the safest choice is to stay in the metropolises of powerful countries like New York, Boston, Shanghai, and Beijing. "
Tina was stunned for a while before suddenly understanding the meaning of Zhang Lisheng's words. "Lisheng, you mean the attack in Cape Town, South Africa? I-It's those …"
"No matter who did this, you, Trish, and Sheila better get rid of your bad habit of traveling and stay in the US obediently," Zhang Lisheng looked at the three girls and said.
Upon hearing his words, the girls could not help but have a terrified look on their faces.
When Dukley saw that the young man who had just apologized immediately used a lecturing tone to talk to his sweetheart, he could not help but say, "It's not a bad habit to travel to broaden one's knowledge …"
"But a trip that might cost someone's life is." Zhang Lisheng replied and drove the car outside Madison Square Garden Stadium according to the guidance of the navigator.
Madison Square Garden Stadium was located at the corner of 8th Street and 33rd Street in New York. It was located next to Pennsylvania Station, one of the largest train stations in the US.
One could say that almost half of the tourists who came to New York by train would first see this huge milky white cylindrical stadium that had a history of more than 120 years and had been rebuilt many times.
This was the home stadium of all the famous university teams in New York. It was the first choice for New Yorkers to hold political gatherings as well as the holy land for basketball, boxing, fighting, and music concerts.
At this time, this stadium that could be said to be the face of New York City was brightly lit in the middle of the night. Countless vehicles were honking their horns as they poured into its parking lot in a congested manner.
"We're here." Zhang Lisheng drove the Explorer along with the traffic flow attentively and parked the car bit by bit. Letting out a long sigh of relief, he pushed the door open and got out of the car.
Looking at the flow of people pouring into the stadium from the parking lot and Tina who was holding his arm by his side, the young man said, "So many people are here to watch the wrestling match! This is unbelievable!"
But if there are so many spectators, can we still buy tickets? You can't possibly use the privilege of the Douglin family in the Garden Stadium, can you? "
"Baby, guess who did Barnum, the most successful charlatan in the US, borrow money from to build the house when he rented the old train station on Madison Street to accommodate his circus?" Tina, who had regained her composure, asked with a smile.
Zhang Lisheng, who could clearly feel that the food that he had stuffed into his mouth at Hank Hotel had begun to nourish his bones and body after several dozens of minutes of digestion, suddenly felt that he had not fully understood the transformation power, so he smiled and said, "Oh, the Douglin family is really great! Looks like we can watch the wrestling match now, but I want to eat a few hot dogs first."
