Chapter 368 You're on the Times Square screen!
After a flight of more than ten hours, the enormous, dark blue Boeing 747 private jet landed very smoothly at New York's international airport.
The plane taxied for a distance on the runway before finally coming to a stop in an open area reserved for private aircraft.
The cabin door slowly opened. The boarding stairs were lowered.
Li Mengli walked at the front, carrying a very small bag. Zhao Jiajia and Huo Qian followed behind her. They all walked down the airplane stairs together.
When the three of them reached flat ground, Zhao Jiajia's eyes widened in surprise.
In front of them, five black, extended Rolls-Royce limousines were parked neatly. Beside each car stood two foreign bodyguards dressed in black suits and wearing black sunglasses. The bodyguards stood very straight and looked extremely professional.
Seeing Li Mengli step down, one of the bodyguards, the leader, strode forward. He bowed very respectfully and said loudly in fluent Chinese, "Miss Li, hello. We are sent by the boss to pick you up. The car is ready, please get in."
Seeing this spectacle, Zhao Jiajia grabbed Huo Qian's arm and exclaimed excitedly, "Huo Qian! Did you see that?! This is New York! Mengli's father has so many luxury cars and bodyguards abroad. This is truly amazing!"
Huo Qian looked at the convoy ahead and nodded very seriously. She replied, "Yes. Uncle Li's abilities are top-notch worldwide. With a convoy like this, it's very safe."
Just as they were talking.
Pierre and Lu Wenzhou also got off the plane.
Pierre moved with lightning speed. He ran straight to the Rolls-Royce in the middle and personally opened the door. Then, he placed his hand on the top of the door and said very gently to Li Mengli, "Miss Li, please get in. It's quite windy in New York, please be careful not to catch a cold."
The translator was loudly translating beside them.
Li Mengli looked at Pierre and smiled generously. She said, "Thank you, Pierre."
Just as Li Mengli was about to get into the car, Lu Wenzhou walked up from behind.
Lu Wenzhou was holding a very beautiful and thick scarf. He walked up to Li Mengli and handed the scarf to her directly.
Lu Wenzhou's voice was very calm as he said, "Mengli, it's quite cold in New York right now. Wear this scarf. Although the car has heating, it will be cold when you get out. Don't catch a cold; you have a lot of work to do tomorrow."
Li Mengli took the scarf, smiled at Lu Wenzhou, and said, "Okay. Lu Wenzhou, you're so thoughtful. Thank you."
Li Mengli naturally wrapped the scarf around her neck and then got into the car.
Pierre watched as Lu Wenzhou handed him the scarf, and he gave Lu Wenzhou a very resentful look. Lu Wenzhou completely ignored Pierre's gaze and calmly got into another car. Pierre quickly followed suit.
The convoy drove out of the airport very smoothly.
Five black Rolls-Royces were driving on the streets of New York, attracting a lot of attention.
After driving for about an hour, the convoy arrived at the heart of Manhattan, the most bustling and vibrant part of the city.
The car stopped in front of a very, very tall building. This building is the most expensive house in New York.
The bodyguard opened the car door, and Li Mengli and the others got out.
They followed the butler into a private elevator. The elevator went directly to the top floor of the building.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, Zhao Jiajia exclaimed, "My God! This house is huge!"
This is an extremely large single-story luxury mansion. The entire house has two floors. The exterior walls are all made of transparent glass. Standing in the living room, you can directly see the famous Central Park in New York City, as well as the entire city skyline.
In the center of the living room sits a very large genuine leather sofa. A very soft carpet covers the floor. Next to it is a large indoor swimming pool.
A dozen or so foreign maids in uniforms stood neatly in two rows. Seeing Li Mengli enter, they all bowed and said loudly, "Welcome home, Miss Li."
Li Mengli was quite surprised to see such a large house. She knew her father was very wealthy, but she hadn't expected his house in New York to be so luxurious.
Everyone sat down on the sofa.
At this point, the two men started behaving themselves again.
Pierre didn't sit on the sofa. He went straight into the kitchen of the mansion. He spoke loudly to the French chef inside.
Ten minutes later, Pierre came out carrying several steaming cups of black tea and a lot of very delicate fruit slices on a very nice plate.
Pierre placed the plate on the table in front of Li Mengli. He smiled and said, "Miss Li, you've been on a long flight, have some hot tea. These fruits were personally selected by me, they're very fresh. Eating some fruit will make your skin better."
Li Mengli picked up a piece of fruit, took a bite, and said generously, "It's delicious. Pierre, you've really put so much thought into this. Why don't you sit down and rest for a bit?"
Pierre was delighted to hear Li Mengli's words and sat down on the chair next to her.
Lu Wenzhou walked over at this moment. He was holding a tablet computer in his hand.
Lu Wenzhou didn't take any food. He sat opposite Li Mengli and said very seriously, "Mengli, I've already spoken with the housekeeper of this building. I've arranged everything for tomorrow."
"Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, a private driver will pick you up to go to the fashion show venue for a fitting. I've also had the security there checked again. During your stay here, there will be four bodyguards protecting you outside at all times. You don't need to worry about anything at all."
Li Mengli looked at Lu Wenzhou and nodded. She said, "Thank you, Lu Wenzhou. I feel very reassured having you handle the work matters."
Zhao Jiajia and Huo Qian sat nearby. They ate fruit while watching Pierre and Lu Wenzhou.
Zhao Jiajia whispered to Huo Qian, "Huo Qian, look at these two. One takes care of the food and drinks, and the other takes care of the work. They work together really well. Mengli doesn't have to worry about anything now; she can just sit here."
Huo Qian smiled and replied softly, "That's the benefit of competition. They all want to show their best side. Meng Li is handling it very well now. She doesn't refuse, nor does she immediately agree. She just watches from the sidelines."
Everyone rested in the mansion for two hours.
Li Mengli took a shower and changed into a very casual outfit.
She walked into the living room, looked at everyone, and said, "We've been sitting on the plane for so long, let's go for a walk now. I want to go to Times Square in New York. I've heard it's very lively there."
Zhao Jiajia immediately agreed loudly, "Great! I've been wanting to go there for ages. Let's go now."
Lu Wenzhou immediately stood up and said, "I'll have the driver prepare the car."
The group of people arrived at Times Square in New York City in a Rolls-Royce.
This is the most populous and bustling part of New York City.
The road is lined with very tall buildings. On the exterior of these buildings hang many enormous, brightly lit electronic screens. These screens broadcast the world's most famous Goblin every day.
The streets are filled with people from all over the world. Everyone is taking pictures and walking around.
Li Mengli, Zhao Jiajia, and Huo Qian walked in front. Lu Wenzhou and Pierre followed beside them. Several bodyguards followed behind.
Pierre walked to Li Mengli's left. He said very enthusiastically, "Miss Li, there are so many electronic screens here. But I think the streets of France are much more romantic. Perhaps we can stroll through the streets of France sometime in the future."
Lu Wenzhou walked to Li Mengli's right. He said in a very calm voice, "Mengli, there are a lot of people here. Be careful. My bodyguards are behind you, so don't be afraid."
Li Mengli walked in the middle. She looked at the surrounding scenery while listening to the two of them talking. She felt very happy.
The group walked to the main intersection in the middle of Times Square.
Just at this time.
Suddenly, all the enormous electronic screens around us went black.
The various car and cosmetic ads that were playing suddenly stopped within a second.
Foreigners walking in Times Square all stopped in their tracks. They looked up in surprise at the huge blacked-out screens.
Zhao Jiajia also looked up and said loudly, "What happened? Are these screens broken?"
The next second.
The tallest and largest electronic screens around Times Square suddenly lit up simultaneously.
There was no commercial game playing on the screen.
A very high-resolution, very large photo appeared on the screen.
The person in the photo is wearing a very unique and beautiful white dress. Her hair falls naturally over her shoulders. She has a very clean and innocent smile on her face.
This girl is none other than Li Mengli!
These photos and videos were all taken when Li Mengli walked the runway on that small stage during Paris Fashion Week.
On the giant screen, Li Mengli's face was clearly visible. Her presence stood out strikingly against the backdrop of the foreign models, making her appear exceptionally beautiful and stunning.
Then, the images on the screen began to rotate. Several videos of Li Mengli walking on stage were shown. Next to the videos were large English letters that translated to: "Beauty from the East".
At that moment, everyone in Times Square was stunned.
The foreigners walking on the street all stood still. They looked up, their eyes wide, staring at the Asian girl on the screen.
Many people took out their phones and started taking pictures. Many foreigners also loudly praised the photos in English.
"My God! This girl is so beautiful! Her smile is gorgeous!"
"Is she some international superstar? She looked absolutely stunning in that white dress!"
"Such a clean and refined aura is truly rare. She is absolutely beautiful!"
Hearing the loud praise from the foreigners around him.
Li Mengli, standing in the middle of the intersection, was completely stunned.
She stared wide-eyed at her reflection on those giant screens. She couldn't believe it was real. She covered her mouth with her hands.
Zhao Jiajia and Huo Qian were completely stunned.
Zhao Jiajia shouted loudly, "Mengli! That's you! That's your photo from Paris! You're on the Times Square screen!"
Huo Qian was also very excited. She knew very well that to simultaneously display her personal photos on those massive screens in the heart of Times Square, New York, for such a long time, would require an enormous amount of money. It was definitely not something an ordinary person could do.
Pierre and Lu Wenzhou, who were standing next to him, were also completely shocked.
Pierre's mouth dropped open. He stared at the screen and exclaimed, "My God! This is absolutely incredible!"
Lu Wenzhou's brow furrowed slightly. He was a man of big business. He knew how enormous the financial figures behind this were. He knew this was definitely not something arranged by the organizers.
