The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

It's still early, with nearly four hours until the ball drop.

Lin Zhiyuan took Yehelena to stroll around Times Square, which is the most prosperous commercial district in New York and is known as the crossroads of the world. Nearly 40 shopping malls and theaters gather near the square, which is a prosperous entertainment and shopping center. Broadway theaters, a large number of dazzling neon tube advertisements, and TV-style promotional boards have become symbols of New York, reflecting the strong urban characteristics of Manhattan.

The two of them walked around and ate, surrounded by countless people waiting to celebrate the new millennium. The entire area around Times Square was filled with a carnival atmosphere.

In a jewelry store, Lin Zhiyuan bought Yehelena a diamond necklace worth $1.8 million. She was so beautiful that she put it on the spot and kept spinning in front of the mirror.

"Does it look good?" Yehelena turned and asked the salesgirl beside her.

"Miss, I swear on my grandmother's health that no one is more suitable for this necklace than you." The salesgirl, who had always been smiling, had green eyes of envy.

"Lin, is this a New Year's gift?" Yehelena turned lightly and faced Lin Zhiyuan.

"It's both a gift and compensation. Who made me not come to see you for such a long time?" It's the millennium, and Lin Zhiyuan's mouth is as sweet as honey.

"Lin, you are so nice to me." After hearing this, Yehelina looked at Lin Zhiyuan with tears in her eyes. If this was not in public, she would probably drag Lin Zhiyuan to conduct a real-life rehearsal.

Yehelena also wanted to buy something for Lin Zhiyuan, but Lin Zhiyuan was very picky. He thought clothes and shoes were inconvenient to carry and too heavy, and he said he didn't need jewelry or watches.

Yehelena's eyes suddenly lit up, "Lin, I know what you want."

She pulled Lin Zhiyuan out of the mall, crossed the street, and the two of them entered the Hilton Hotel.

"Yehelena, what are we doing here?"

"Lin, shut up."

Yehelena rushed to the hotel front desk like the wind. She took out an exquisite Hermès wallet, grabbed a stack of money from it, about two thousand dollars, and slapped it in front of the front desk staff, which stunned the white-collar beauty.

"Miss, how can I help you?"

"Book me a room with floor-to-ceiling windows that can see the ball drop. The higher the floor, the better. If you get it, the money is yours."

The receptionist was in a dilemma. The Hilton Hotel has 31 "ball drop viewing rooms" which are the best rooms for watching the ball drop ceremony up close, so people started booking them half a year ago.

The ball drop ceremony is about to begin, and this person actually wants to book a room at this time. Is this a joke?

The receptionist secretly glanced at the colorful dollars in front of her and sighed in her heart that she could never earn this money.

"Miss, I'm really sorry, but all the rooms in our hotel that can see the ball drop ceremony have been booked. Why don't you come earlier next year..."

Before she finished her words, Ye Helena interrupted her, "Of course I know that these rooms have been booked, otherwise why would I give you money? Now call those rooms and tell them that I am willing to pay ten times the price to buy their rooms. As long as one person agrees, the money will be yours."

Before Yehelena finished her words, the receptionist picked up the phone and started calling each room one by one.

In order to earn this money, the receptionist tried her best. She made 16 calls in a row. Unfortunately, most of the people who could book a room to watch the ball drop during this period were rich people. Some people hung up the phone after the receptionist said only one sentence. Some guests even jokingly hit back, "Ten times the price, are you kidding? I'm willing to pay him a thousand dollars to get out."

The receptionist's face became increasingly ugly, just like Yehelena's. When the seventeenth call was made, things took a turn for the better.

The room was booked by a young couple. For some unknown reason, they had just had a big fight in the room. At this moment, the receptionist called and the young man agreed without hesitation.

When the young couple came downstairs, Yehelena immediately fulfilled her promise. After they divided the money, they parted ways on the spot without celebrating the New Year. Yehelena happily took Lin Zhiyuan's arm and went upstairs into the room.

Hilton's service is of course of the highest standard. In just ten minutes, the room was completely refurbished, all the sheets and bedding were replaced, and then a bottle of champagne was delivered to the room.

In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows is the full view of Times Square, with a sea of ​​revelers below, dancing to the music. Opposite the room is One Times Square, and the glittering crystal ball on the roof is clearly visible.

Lin Zhiyuan and Yehelena each held a champagne glass and stood in front of the window, admiring everything.

Ye Helena suddenly squeezed into Lin Zhiyuan's arms and whispered in his ear: "Dear, take off your clothes!"

"what?"

"I've thought of a perfect way to celebrate the millennium." At this moment, Yehelina was like a greedy kitten, smiling foolishly, her red lips close to Lin Zhiyuan's ear, "The way we celebrate the millennium must be the most unique. I want you to enter the last number in the countdown..."

Lin Zhiyuan was dumbfounded. He never dreamed that Ye Helena would think of this.

However, under the little goblin's strong request, he could only agree with tears.

Finally, at 12:59, thunderous cheers came from downstairs, and a 60-second countdown appeared on the LED screen of Building No. 1.

The crowd gathered in Times Square burst into cheers that got louder and louder, and countdown numbers appeared on the LED screens of all the tall buildings at the same time.

60, 59, 58...

The numbers decreased one by one, and Yehelena's two slender white arms wrapped around Lin Zhiyuan, like a vine wrapped around a big tree.

Both of them stared at the crystal ball opposite them.

The crystal ball began to fall, shining brightly, and at the same time, brilliant fireworks began to be launched from all around Building One.

The huge sound of music resounded throughout the entire Times Square. At least 100,000 people witnessed this grand event on site at the same time. As for the global audience watching the live broadcast on TV, it is estimated that there were more than several thousand.

Finally the number reached 10.

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

A gentle, low sound emanated from Yehelena's nose, lingering in her ears for three days.

"Honey, we did it, Happy New Year and Happy Millennium!"

The same sentence was also typed out on the No. 1 Building across the street.

Happy New Year and Happy Millennium!

The year 2000 finally arrived.

In his past and present lives, Lin Zhiyuan never dreamed that he would celebrate the arrival of the year 2000 in this way.
