In the evening, Xia Haoyang and four others returned to the luxury hotel where they were staying in downtown Los Angeles.

"So, Hongling, firefighting, which is a free public service in our country, is a private contract in the United States? They want to be paid to do the work?" Xia Haoyang asked about the bizarre things he saw tonight.

"In the United States, only a few large cities have fire brigades that are affiliated with the government. Firefighting business in other states is privately contracted. The United States saves as much as possible on domestic public services, and the money saved can be used to buy guns. After all, you hoard food, I hoard guns, and your home is my granary. Just kidding." Hong Ling said humorously.

"When public services become a business, can this thing be done well? Firefighting is related to the safety of people's lives and property." Xia Haoyang said with a frown.

"Let me tell you an example from my personal experience." Hong Ling said lightly.

"After graduating from college, I rented a house in a small town in New Jersey. At that time, the electrical wiring in the rented house was aging and caused a fire. I chose to call 911." Hong Ling smiled at several people.

"About ten minutes later, the first fire truck arrived. When I asked the fire truck to put out the fire, guess what? The firefighters on the truck told me that there was no water in the fire truck, not even a fire extinguisher. The huge fire truck was completely empty."

"What the hell are you doing here?" Xia Haoyang didn't understand.

"Because he wants to be the first to arrive at the scene." Hong Ling continued to sneer, "There is no fire department affiliated with the government in the local area, so when 911 receives a call, it will notify all local private fire companies of the matter. Whoever arrives first will have the right to extinguish the fire, and will naturally get the fire-fighting fee from the homeowner or the insurance company."

"This is the same principle as competing for missions in games." Xia Haoyang also said in a sarcastic tone.

Hongling continued, "If the first fire truck cannot complete the task, it can cooperate with the later ones and share the money in the end. So that time, after the second fire truck arrived, the two fire trucks discussed and connected the water pipes to each other before starting to put out the fire. Three more fire trucks came during the firefighting process, and there were a total of five fire trucks at the scene, from four different fire companies. The later ones saw that there was nothing for them to do, but they didn't want to come in vain, so they carried a stretcher and prepared to send me, who was fine, to the hospital."

At this point Hongling smiled again.

"I had never experienced this before, so I accepted their 'kindness' and followed their stretcher to a nearby hospital. As a result, a week later, I received fees from three fire companies, each in US dollars."

"So expensive?" Zeng Jingyi blurted out in shock.

"Haha, I thought I was scammed, so I called the fire department. They told me that as long as people and cars arrive at the disaster site and start working, the price will be the same, no cheating. Of course, you can choose to buy fire insurance, so the insurance company will pay for it all. I had just graduated, and I didn't expect something like this to happen. How could I buy fire insurance for the house I rented?" Hong Ling shook her head.

"Is this the case in the United States? It's so terrible. Then why are so many people scrambling to run to the United States?" Zeng Jingyi said fearfully.

"What I just said was that fire insurance was not paid. Hongling's best friend also did not pay the fire protection fee. But what if you are very rich and pay these fees in various areas of life?" Old Xie also said coldly.

"So everyone is still rushing to the United States, because the United States is still a paradise for rich people," Xia Haoyang continued.

"Yes, you have to be a rich person, like us, living in such a luxurious hotel. Yesterday we went to Beverly Hills and the observatory, today we visited the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and ate top-notch food in the hotel. Don't you think it's like a dream? You enjoyed this week's trip, didn't you?" Hongling looked at Zeng Jingyi with a smile.

"I admit that this week's journey was very enjoyable, but I now feel more and more that my motherland is still the best." Zeng Jingyi was a little emotional.

"So you know what? Jingyi, people who have been abroad are more patriotic. Although some people don't mention it on the surface, or even say something that goes against their heart, the feeling deep down is the same. The motherland is still the best."

"The motherland is still the best." Xia Haoyang also murmured and repeated.

What happened tonight had a deep impact on the two of them. After Hongling and Lao Xie returned to their room, Zeng Jingyi hugged Xia Haoyang tightly on the bed.

Xia Haoyang also hugged the other person gently. In the dark room, both of them had their eyes open, but no one spoke.

Not knowing what Zeng Jingyi was thinking, Xia Haoyang thought a lot of things, all kinds of things. But just when he was thinking about it, Zeng Jingyi suddenly started to dry heave.

Xia Haoyang immediately turned over and sat up, holding Zeng Jingyi with both hands, and asked anxiously: "What's wrong? Are you okay? Did you inhale some smoke at the fire scene?"

But Zeng Jingyi couldn't speak at all and continued to dry heave.

Xia Haoyang helped Zeng Jingyi to the sink in the bathroom and poured some water for her. His eyes were full of anxiety. "Do you want to call a doctor?"

"No need to call a doctor, I should be fine after a rest." Zeng Jingyi said these words with difficulty and started to dry heave again.

"You can't do this. I'll call the butler right away and ask him to arrange for a doctor to come and see you." Xia Haoyang said firmly.

Xia Haoyang stayed in the presidential suite of a five-star hotel in Los Angeles, which cost more than 10,000 gold coins per night.

The presidential suite of the luxury hotel is not only spacious, but also has more exquisite and luxurious furniture. It is equipped with facilities such as a private swimming pool, spa, private cinema, etc., and also has private services:

The first is the private butler service.

In the presidential suite, you can enjoy 24-hour private butler service, which not only provides you with caring care, but also arranges your itinerary, answers calls, prepares dinner, provides entertainment activities, etc. This service can bring more convenience and comfort to the wealthy, making them feel at home.

And this is why Xia Haoyang asked the housekeeper to arrange a doctor immediately.

In addition to a private butler, it also includes: private chef service, so that you can enjoy top-notch food and fine wine in the room without having to go out to find a restaurant. It is very luxurious. These days, Xia Haoyang and others almost always eat in the room, but they enjoy exquisite food from all over the world.

In addition to a private butler and private chef, there is also the right to a dedicated driver, personal physiotherapist and beautician, and a dedicated elevator.

So there is a reason why presidential suites are expensive, especially those in five-star hotels.
