Afterward, not only did they feel neither the slightest fatigue, but rather, they felt more energetic and vibrant than ever. Qin Xue, like a rose just refreshed by a gentle rain, bloomed even more gracefully and beautifully. As for Gao Liang, he felt stronger and more spirited than ever before. This is the true benefit of mutual cultivation—profound improvement and enhancement of physical well-being. "Husband, you are absolutely wonderful! If you don't mind, I would like to serve you every day!" Qin Xue, having experienced the sacred grace, gently touched Gao Liang's strong muscles and said softly. "Thank you, my lovely one. However, my husband is quite busy and may not be able to fulfill your wish." Gao Liang lightly pressed on Qin Xue's delicate nose. "I don't mind at all. As long as my husband desires me, I shall be ready at all times!" Qin Xue's words warmed Gao Liang's heart. He held her tightly once again, gently bit her ear, and said, "Then, my husband desires you now!" They both became wildly passionate once again, entwined on the red carpet of the chairman's office on the 68th floor of the Empire State Building all night long. It wasn't until 8 a.m. the next morning that a sudden series of urgent phone rings woke up Gao Liang and Qin Xue, still deep in their dreams. Qin Xue was nestled against Gao Liang, her face radiant with contentment. Gao Liang picked up the phone—David was calling. David had found George's employment history at EA and discovered a problem: during George's tenure as CEO of the U.S. EA, there were indications of misappropriation of company funds, though the specific evidence remained unclear, possibly because George had already destroyed it. The company's financial records didn't match, placing George squarely at the center of suspicion. "David! I want all of George's financial statements from his time as CEO cleared up within twelve hours. Then, you must rush to the EA office in New York as quickly as possible. I want to review them personally!" Gao Liang issued the orders directly. "Yes! Yes!" "President!" David's voice came through. "Also, send someone to investigate George's recent activities—keep me updated immediately!" Gao Liang issued his orders with decisive confidence. Having arranged for David, Gao Liang then dialed his two bodyguards: "Bill! Andrew! You're to be at the 68th floor of the Empire State Building in ten minutes—I have an important task for you!" As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened, and Qin Xue quickly stepped back from Gao Liang's embrace, but it was too late. Bill and Andrew bowed respectfully to both Gao Liang and themselves, saying, "Mr. Li! Miss Qin! What can we do?" "Here's the situation: Miss Qin's parents are both in Taiwan. Her mother is ill, and her father has lost his job. I need you to bring both of them to New York within five days—so that Miss Qin can take care of them conveniently. As for expenses, I've arranged them!" After highlighting her point, she produced a check and quickly signed it. Bill and Andrew respectfully took it and immediately went about carrying out the arrangements. "Husband! You're absolutely wonderful! You even managed to arrange for my parents to come to New York—something I've longed for ever since I arrived in the U.S. from Taiwan!" Qin Xue was genuinely touched and surprised. Having faced countless hardships in finding work and settling in America alone, and especially missing her parents deeply, it was truly a tremendous relief to learn that Gao Liang had gone to great lengths to bring them to New York. Qin Xue, a 19-year-old vibrant and spirited young woman, deeply appreciated the exceptional man who had made such sacrifices for her. She felt herself melting into Gao Liang. "Husband! I know you have many women in your life, but that doesn't matter to me. I don't seek formal titles or status—I only want us to cherish this love we share right now!" Her heartfelt words moved Gao Liang to give her a kiss. Qin Xue smiled contentedly and said, "Husband! It's getting late now!" "I'll make you a breakfast!" "No! Let's go somewhere to eat—don't want to dirty your neat hands!" The thoughtful words from Gao Liang filled Qin Xue with such happiness that, at this very moment, she felt like the happiest person in the world. To be cherished by such a remarkable man—what a blessed experience! The two of them took the elevator from the 68th floor of the Empire State Building, stepped out into the lobby, and then walked hand-in-hand along the bustling street. After about five minutes, a restaurant named "QiYuan 3" caught Qin Xue's eye. She seemed to have discovered a new land, pulling Gao Liang's hand and leading him inside. Gao Liang still hadn't entered—he was on a long-distance call from China's coastal city, from Mike, discussing specific matters related to game development. When Qin Xue stepped in, she found the restaurant modest in size but elegantly decorated, with large promotional posters displayed on all four walls, showcasing advertisements for chocolate ice cream and hot dogs. Qin Xue really loved this atmosphere. The young woman was intently staring at the ice cream, chocolate, and hot dogs displayed in the glass case. Her eyes were filled with yearning, and her little tongue was still gently licking her lips. At that moment, a very beautiful female server approached, making Qin Xue momentarily speechless. After living in the U.S. for so many days, she had never before seen such a stunning American woman—this one with her sparkling sapphire eyes, golden hair flowing like a waterfall, and an impeccable figure that looked absolutely flawless from any angle. In that instant, Qin Xue felt like a duckling standing before a swan, humbled and outshone. As she was fully absorbed in the server's beauty, the woman asked, "Miss, which flavor of ice cream would you like?" Qin Xue eagerly pointed to the most elegant one. The server smiled warmly and naturally placed the price tag beside the ice cream, leaving Qin Xue utterly astonished: "Wow!" The price is over ten thousand dollars! I'm stunned!" Qin Xue really almost fainted. Fortunately, the female server caught her and said, "Miss, are you okay?" "I'm fine!" Qin Xue firmly suppressed her inner excitement, pretending nothing had happened, and hurried away as if fleeing. "Qin Xue, why did you leave empty-handed?" Gao Liang stood outside, having finished his phone call, and asked her. "Let's go to the next one! Maybe this one isn't to my taste!" Qin Xue said with words that didn't match her true feelings. How clever Gao Liang was—after just staring at her for three seconds, he had already understood everything. He immediately pulled her by the arm and led her straight back into the store. "Is this the one?" Gao Liang truly had a keen intuition, having accurately identified the ice cream that this lovely young woman had been looking for—this left Qin Xue once again deeply impressed. Qin Xue nodded warmly and enthusiastically. "Server! I'm purchasing it! Please pack it for me!" "Highlight shouted inside the store, and only then did the American woman emerge from the back room, quickly saying in English, 'Here! Here!' But when the two faced each other, they both froze. 'Jinanah! How is it that you're here?' Highlight looked at his wife Jinanah, dressed in a server's uniform, and was utterly puzzled. At that moment, Jinanah seemed completely unfamiliar with him—she smiled at the young woman Qin Xue standing beside her, then at Highlight, offering a professional, practiced smile. This kind of smile felt foreign to Highlight; he didn't need it. 'What a keen eye you have, Mr. Highlight—your purchase has won the heart of this lovely lady!' Jinan praised Gao Huang warmly, skillfully wrapping the gift and politely handing it to him. At that moment, the restaurant owner arrived, smiling warmly and saying to Gao Huang and Qin Xue, "Thank you so much for your kind purchase of our 'Frozen Luxe Chocolate.' Our chocolate ice cream, which is certified by the Guinness World Records as the world's most expensive ice cream, is priced at $25,000. We serve it in a crystal highball glass, with an 18-karat gold and diamond decorative band wrapped around the outside. Inside the glass, a layer of 23-karat edible gold is applied. First, we place the frozen chocolate—comprising 14 of the world's rarest and most expensive cocoa powders, sourced from Africa and South America—then blend in milk, add ice cubes, and, within 30 seconds, incorporate 28 additional cocoa powders. Following this, we top it with a layer of cream, garnished with the world's most expensive truffle, and finally cover it with a 5-gram layer of 24-karat edible gold." The dessert comes with a spoon valued at $14,000, adorned with jewels, which customers can take home with them. Qin Xue listened intently, tears welling up in her eyes as she felt an overwhelming sense of happiness—she now truly believed herself to be the happiest person in the world. When it came time to pay, Hou Guang didn’t even blink, his generosity and grace deeply touching Qin Xue, who couldn’t help but gently kiss his forehead—right in front of Jin Nana, with genuine happiness. Hou Guang noticed Jin Nana firmly holding back her emotions, and after she briefly greeted the manager, claimed she needed to go to the restroom. He called out behind her, but Jin Nana paid no attention at all—she went alone to the restroom, where she stood before the mirror, weeping continuously. Qin Xue sensed something unusual and quickly took hold of Hou Guang’s hand, saying, "Husband, she’s so beautiful! Wait—who is she? Why did she leave as soon as she saw you?" Huangao said nothing and spoke to the restaurant owner in English, then went directly to the restroom to find Jinanana. He asked the female cleaner to call her, but the cleaner said Jinanana had already disappeared. Huangao felt deeply disappointed. He silently pleaded in his heart, "Jinanana, don't leave me! In my heart, you are truly my wife!" After Jinanana left, Huangao had truly been lost for the past couple of days. He found himself impatient with everything, easily annoyed, and even raised his voice at Qin Xue, who held back tears, silent and moved—only then did she realize just how important the American woman was to Huangao. Huangao wanted to use work to ease his inner sense of loss. He hadn't been with Qin Xue in days and had been visiting the EA office in New York alone for a long time, having neglected all EA-related affairs. It was time to take good care of everything again. Electronics' New York office is located on Wall Street, a renowned street in New York City. Wall Street, stretching from Broadway to the East River in the southern part of Manhattan, is only about one-third of a mile long and just 11 meters wide—its name being a phonetic translation of "Wall Street." Though narrow and only seven blocks long from Broadway to the East River, the street is famously known as the financial center of the United States. Established in 1792 when Dutch colonists built a earthen wall from the East River to the Hudson River to protect against British invasions, the street took its name from this wall. Although the original wall was later demolished, the name "Wall Street" has endured. It is here that the headquarters of banks, insurance companies, shipping firms, and railroads—such as those of the Morgan, Rockefeller, and DuPont families—are concentrated. The New York Stock Exchange is also located here. Highlight was sitting in the spacious and well-lit office on the 18th floor of Morgan's executive building, midway along Wall Street, deeply reviewing the latest marketing strategy for *The Need for Speed*, when David burst in with a stack of documents pulled from his backpack. "Li! Here are some bills and reports handled by George, the CEO of Electronic Arts, please take a look!" David said respectfully. Highlight nodded slightly and asked, "How has Kenneth, the Vice President at headquarters, been progressing recently?" "Back to Li! With George's CEO having diverted substantial funds, the company is now in serious trouble. Moreover, many investors have been withdrawing their capital, so the company can only hold on for another two weeks!" David sighed. "How much of a shortfall is there?" Highlight asked directly. "According to Kenneth's latest figures, it's approximately 6 billion U.S. dollars!" David replied. "That's a huge loss! We simply can't afford this. I must act immediately to rescue Electronic Arts!" "Highlight frowned and said. It was time to act decisively—urgently. As a hands-off executive, Highlight could no longer remain passive. It was time to step in. He immediately called Mike, the managing director of the China Wushu Games Company based in China: "Mike! I'm giving you three days to compile the profit figures from China Wushu Games Company and convert them into U.S. dollars, then transfer them directly to the EA office in New York. Also, you need to lead your team to develop a game specifically tailored for Chinese players!" Mike couldn't possibly have refused—right away he agreed and got to work. Then Highlight called the Tokyo office of China Wushu Games Company in Japan. The person who answered was a Japanese lady, who greeted Highlight politely and warmly with a soft voice. But when Highlight heard it wasn't Meiji, his wife, he grew impatient. He was suddenly furious at that Japanese lady, nearly bringing tears to her eyes. Fortunately, Matsui arrived and revealed the truth: Miss Miki had not come to the office for several days, as if she had gone on a business trip abroad. Gao was livid. He issued a direct order: "Find out the Japanese profit performance of the Chinese Wushu Games Company. If there's any surplus, immediately convert it into US dollars and transfer it to the account of Electronic Arts' New York office." Matsui looked deeply concerned, explaining that he had no authority over such matters—the financial control rested entirely with Miss Miki. Gao was genuinely distressed—this had been his own arrangement! His wife, indeed, held complete financial authority over all matters concerning the Chinese Wushu Games Company in Japan. Yet now, the situation was urgent. Without finding Miss Miki, the Japanese side would be unable to provide support to Electronic Arts. High亮 called Morgan Bank, which was under the aegis of the Morgan financial dynasty, to inquire about a loan and received a polite response: "Mr. Gao Liang, we are certainly willing to consider your loan request—however, it would require the guarantee of a CEO from one of the top ten U.S. financial dynasties." "Alright, let's drop that then!" Gao Liang replied with a sigh. What could he do? Time was precious—three days had already been wasted in vain. With only about ten days left, if the rescue funds failed to materialize, Electronic Arts would be completely crippled. Electronic Arts was of paramount importance—it was the cornerstone of the old company in the United States. The Chinese martial arts games company was equally vital—it was the foundation of the old company in China. Neither could be compromised. Both had to be solid. Gao Liang didn’t want to resort to a desperate, life-sustaining measure. At this very moment, his mind was entirely occupied by the figure of 6 billion U.S. dollars. At her wits' end after playing a game for a while, Highiang accidentally waved the billing statement showing George's appointment as CEO in front of the built-in camera of her high-end laptop. She hadn't realized it before—until she did. Wow, the "Decrypt Password" software disc installed on the laptop automatically launched and began analyzing the statement. The system then prompted: "Please wait, launching the required decryption software!" Highiang had hoped it would automatically decrypt the information, but to her disappointment, the system instead asked: "Please enter the password to be decrypted!" Another password—what was it? As a computer expert, Highiang systematically entered all possible passwords she could think of. Yet, after hours of trying, the system kept displaying: "Sorry, the password you entered is incorrect. Please re-enter!" "When Huangang desperately entered the next password, the system prompted: 'Sorry, you've already entered it 168 times. The system will now block any further new password entries. Please try again tomorrow!' 'Good heavens! Even the old guy couldn't crack it? Who in the world knows this password?' Huangang was truly at a loss. Today was just terrible—off to the old guy's place for a relaxing visit! Huangang drove his latest model Ferrari, even more luxurious than the one he originally won worth one million dollars. He remembered a place and accelerated toward it. The Statue of Liberty (English: Liberty Enlightening the World, French: Liberté éclairant le monde) was a gift from France to the United States in 1876, commemorating the centennial of American independence." The Statue of Liberty stands on Liberty Island, near New York City, New York State, and is one of America's most prominent tourist attractions. Weighing 450,000 pounds and standing 46 meters tall, with a pedestal height of 45 meters, its full official name is the "Statue of Liberty National Monument," formally known as "Liberty Enlightening the World." The entire copper statue is constructed with a steel framework of 120 tons and an outer skin of 80 copper plates, assembled using 300,000 rivets, totaling 225 tons. The internal steel framework was designed by architect Joseph-François Mangin and the renowned French engineer Gustave Eiffel, famous for constructing the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
