Charlotte, as its name suggests, has a historical heritage and is even more brilliant today.

In order to establish his own business, King George III of the British Empire decided to build a new stronghold in North America and named the city after his newlywed wife Charlotte Sophia, Queen of Meckburg of Germany.

They never imagined that today in the 21st century, Charlotte would be loved by the world because of this name.

Today's City of Queens, Charlotte, is of course no longer dominated by British and German culture, but a melting pot that combines various cultures from Europe, North America, South America, Asia, and Africa.

So Charlotte also has Lao Chou's own melting pot hot pot restaurant, and the best base ingredient is actually chocolate sauce.

As the headquarters of American Airlines and Air China, Charlotte Douglas International Airport has direct flights to major cities in North America, South America, Western Europe, and North Africa. It has become the southeastern gate of China and a major international aviation hub.

After flying over from Los Angeles, Gao Bin’s biggest feeling after landing was that there were so many people.

Who said no one comes to North Carolina? Nonsense!

North Carolina is the place where humans first flew into the sky. Charlotte, a queen with wings, will definitely fly higher, further and more steadily.

Convenient aviation has brought great development in logistics, trade and commerce. Logistics giants such as Amazon have lost no time in setting up branches, logistics centers, warehousing centers and distribution centers in the western suburbs of Charlotte.

Business is naturally inseparable from finance. Charlotte is the third largest international financial center in the United States, and it is also the largest offshore settlement center in the United States.

Here are the headquarters of U.S. Bank, BB&T Bank headquarters, Wells Fargo Eastern Training Center, and branches and offices of other major U.S. financial institutions.

This is why Gao Bin agreed with Ye Zhenzhen to settle in Charlotte. In addition to accompanying Ye Zhenzhen to settle down, he also wanted to set up a few shell companies here for future development. No, it was convenient.

Business operations.

Housekeeper Dai Sili, along with her bodyguard and driver, drove the Mercedes-Benz S to the airport to pick her up.

Gao Bin met her in a video, and they didn't feel strange after seeing her in real life.

However, after getting in the car, Gao Bin felt a little disgusted. This was the previous generation of Mercedes-Benz S. Although it still retained the luxury of Mercedes-Benz, it was a bit outdated after all.

So Gao Bin said to Dai Sili:

"Go back and pick up the latest Maybach. I'll leave this one for you."

Daisy Li is half British, so the gene of being a housekeeper has long been flowing in her blood.

After hearing Gao Bin's instructions, he immediately agreed:

"Okay Mr. Gao, the new car will appear in your garage tomorrow."

"Thank you!"

Ye Zhenzhen heard the conversation between Gao Bin and the housekeeper and couldn't help but wonder, how could Gao Bin, who had never experienced higher education and whose wealth even exploded in a short period of time, have such qualities?

Is Gao Bin able to speak that British accent that is comparable to that of a pure-blooded Briton?

Ye Zhenzhen's English level is also good, but she can never have an authentic accent. No matter how fluently you speak, you will know you are a foreigner as soon as you speak.

But Gao Bin's accent was the most authentic British accent. She even heard some Oxford accents, and some of the words used were words only used by the ancient British aristocrats.

This discovery made Ye Zhenzhen regain her curiosity about Gao Bin.

But now was not the time to ask more questions. She held Gao Bin's arm and listened silently.

Gao Bin has been communicating with Dai Sili, sometimes asking about Charlotte's customs, and sometimes asking about business issues.

There are endless questions. Thanks to Dai Sili's professionalism, otherwise she would have been asked questions long ago. Most people would really be overwhelmed.

I'm not very lucky today, I got caught in a traffic jam. Charlotte is not Manhattan, New York, and traffic jams are not common.

Although Gao Bin asks a lot of questions, in fact, for him, coming to Charlotte is equivalent to revisiting his hometown.

He can't remember how many times he has been to Charlotte, but he can at least count them firsthand.

Every time I revisit my old place, I have a lot of thoughts. A casual walk can evoke many memories of the past.

Starting to remember the past is a sign of getting old.

In order to maintain a young mentality, it seems that we should go to more new places and learn about some unknown scenery and people.

But after so many reincarnations on this earth, there seems to be nothing unknown to him.

It is precisely because of this mentality that I stayed in the manor during the first week after arriving in Charlotte.

The main reason is that Ye Zhenzhen needs to catch up on jet lag. I don’t know if it’s because of her pregnancy, but it’s very difficult for her to get jet lag.

Finally, the two of them woke up from a late sleep on Saturday, had a hearty breakfast, then took their cameras and prepared to go out for a walk.

I feel bad as soon as I go out. Charlotte in winter feels very humid and cold, with drizzle falling. It's not as cold as New York, nor as cold and bright as the capital.

Fortunately, this weather will not last long, and the overall climate in Charlotte is still very pleasant.

They were not in a hurry to visit the scenery, but chose some cultural sights, such as the New South Museum.

The Museum of the New South, as its name suggests, is a museum dedicated to displaying the history of the southern states after the Civil War.

Anyone who has watched "Gone with the Wind" can understand the history of the black slaves in Ugly Country, so I won't go into details.

There are many physical exhibits in the museum, such as the first batch of black votes, machines from the veil factory, books and publications for the Ku Klux Klan, etc.

One of the large halls has a replica of a commercial street at that time, with clothing stores, grocery stores, barber shops, post offices, etc. Strolling around in it is like walking into a time tunnel.

After passing the commercial street hall, there is a small cinema, which shows some propaganda films before and after World War II.

There is a video of Roosevelt coming to Charlotte to announce the new economic policy to control cotton prices, commercials promoting cotton's contribution to the victory in World War II, and military recruitment advertisements.

After passing the cinema, I vaguely remember seeing a replica of an ordinary family living room. There were biscuits and coffee on the coffee table, and an old-fashioned black-and-white TV was playing news about conflicts caused by black people taking "walks" on the streets during the civil rights movement.

While the two of them were sitting on the sofa cuddled up and watching the report with great interest, a very energetic old lady sat on the sofa next to me and watched the report carefully together.

At the end of the program, she suddenly said:

"I still remember watching this news when I was a child. At that time, I was still very young and my father was sitting next to me."

She seemed very sad, and Ye Zhenzhen seemed to feel the same, with tears welling up in her eyes.

Beyond this living room, there is a series showing the successful economic transformation of the New South, and Charlotte's transformation from a traditional cotton processing and trade center to the second largest financial center in the United States.

This transformation process is also the largest internal migration process in the history of Lao Chou.

With the abolition of the old slavery system, the fate of black people in the South did not change overnight. White people's oppression of black people changed from the naked and unscrupulous past to a more cunning and seemingly legal model.

With the great development of industry in the north, groups of black people spontaneously left the south and went to New York, Chicago in the north and Los Angeles in the west to find new life opportunities.

There are a few lines of text on the wall next to the exit, which are worth reading.

"the future is not someplace we are going to, but a place we are creating. The paths to it are not found, they are made."

Probably "The future is not waiting in the distance, but is created in our hands; the road is not waiting for us to discover, but waiting for us to pave it."

Ye Zhenzhen liked this sentence very much. She felt like she was talking about her relationship with Gao Bin.

After leaving the New South Museum, walk west along Cui Ang Street.

This is the main street of Little Charlotte, the busiest place.

In fact, this street is just that, there is not much to see when walking around, and at the end is the Museum of Modern Art.

Although Charlotte is known as the largest city in North Carolina, compared with domestic metropolises, the so-called big cities in Ugly are pitifully small, not even as big as a district in Magic City.

But I have to say that the leisurely living atmosphere here is unparalleled in China. Ye Zhenzhen enjoyed walking on the streets with Gao Bin in the rain. She was so excited for fun that she didn't want to go home.

Gao Bin ate and walked with her all the way until he couldn't walk anymore, then he called Ye Zhenzhen's bodyguard to bring the Maybach that he had just brought back.

...

Domestic~

After He Minhong was first blooded by Qi Mu, he dragged his luggage back to his residence alone and exchanged messages with Qi Mu to express his thoughts.

Zhu Zhe and Yu Chuhui were chatting in the kitchen. Yu Chuhui smiled and said a few words, not forgetting to make fun of He Minhong.

Unexpectedly, He Minhong heard it.

When He Minhong went out, he was teased by Yu Chuhui. The two almost quarreled, but Zhu Zhe stepped in to stop and calm the conflict.

Everyone went out to work together. Fang Zhiheng casually said that he missed Gao Bin, and everyone laughed at him.

Zhu Zhe walked to the company and met Zhu Minjie. He deliberately scolded Zhu Zhe for being ungrateful in public, causing his colleagues to watch.

Zhu Minjie wanted to embarrass Zhu Zhe in front of his colleagues, but his wishful thinking completely failed. When he faced Zhu Zhe's questioning and condemnation, he still put on a tough and greedy face, and even brought out his parents to complain.<

/p>

Zhu Zhe was not polite when he saw this, and detailed every account he had to support his younger brothers and sisters over the years. As the eldest sister, he had no such obligation at all. Being able to provide for them to study and graduate was already the most benevolent thing.

Going out to work to make money is not just a fantasy. Zhu Zhe spends every penny of his hard-earned money at home. On the contrary, Zhu Minjie is still eating, drinking and having fun two years after graduation, accomplishing nothing, let alone working to support his family.

Originally, Zhu Zhe still had some affection for his relatives, but today he saw Zhu Minjie come to his door and threaten him verbally. This kind of affection has long since disappeared. He warned him not to pester him again in the future, and he completely ended the relationship from now on.

In addition, the lawyer was entrusted to contact Yu Chuhui's aunt Yu Xueqin. Unexpectedly, Yu Xueqin refused to mediate in a strong tone and gave Yu Chuhui an ultimatum. If she did not repay the loss for Yu Dafu, she would sell the house to compensate the two families.
p>

After learning about it, Yu Chuhui insisted on his decision and believed that this method would be a permanent solution, which would not only allow Yu Dafu to clean up and leave the house, but also cut off his mother's thoughts.

Although the lawyer cannot comment on Yu Chuhui's family relationship, he respects the client's choice. Even Fang Zhiheng thinks that Yu Chuhui can drag his mother out of desperation in this situation, which shows how strong his perseverance is.

Considering that he didn't do anything substantial for Yu Chuhui this time, the lawyer couldn't ask for more legal fees and simply returned the money to her. After all, he was still the legal adviser of the Ye family and had to give Ye Zhenzhen face.

After sending the lawyer away, Yu Chuhui was full of praise for his conduct.
