Seeing that Fang Yi was smiling, Liu Yu didn’t plan to stay in this troubled place any longer. He pulled Fang Yi along and walked out.
“Where are you going?” Fang Yi hurriedly wiped the tears off her face, afraid that she would be seen by her colleagues when she walked outside.
“Let’s go! I’ll take you for a walk!”
“But it’s work time now…” Fang Yi said anxiously.
“How can you still be in the mood to go to work now? Besides, don’t I have the final say in the design department?” Liu Yu said casually, “Now, I’ll announce that you have a day off. I’ll go shopping with you, okay?”
“But what if other people have something to ask you?” Fang Yi was still a little worried.
“Then contact me by mail. Don’t worry. What can they do? It’s already good enough that they can draw their own blueprints.”
“Then what if they can’t complete the mission…” Fang Yi was still a little worried, but Liu Yu said, “Don’t worry! I have my own ways!”
He wrapped his arm around Fang Yi’s waist. After he sent out a message in the work group chat, Liu Yu brought Fang Yi onto Angel’s Wings and arrived at Jiangcheng’s largest commercial street.
To be honest, Liu Yu had never gone shopping seriously since he graduated from university. On one hand, it was the continuous improvement and development of online shopping. On the other hand, he had a high-intensity job, so there was no time for him to go shopping. At the same time, the meager salary he earned was not enough to support consumption beyond the necessities of life.
In these years, other than the basic expenses, Liu Yu’s biggest expense was upgrading his graphics cards. His main goal was still mining. After so many years of development, Blue Planet already had a set of effective methods to control the proportion of of Bitcoins production and people’s lives.
If they did not invest a certain proportion to buy new computers and graphics cards, with the increasing difficulty of Bitcoin production, the graphics cards that could not keep up with the times would lead to a decline in mining capacity, resulting in less money on hand. And if one did not have the money to buy the latest graphics cards, it would lead to a decline in mining capacity again, forming a vicious circle.
Therefore, the vast majority of people could only struggle on the survival line and did not have the opportunity to consume. Therefore, all the commercial streets served the rich.
Driving the Angel Wings to the parking area, as expected, there were many luxury cars and hover sports cars everywhere. However, the Angel Wings was still a beautiful scenery.
“Angel Wings?” The surrounding people would cry out in surprise when they saw the Angel Wings. However, in their eyes, this was just a new car, and they were not surprised by its price.
“Weiwei, look, the new Angel Wings!” A girl in a gorgeous dress reminded her companion beside her.
“It’s so beautiful!” The girl named Weiwei praised.
“Yeah, I really want to marry a man with Angel Wings.” The girl’s face was full of envy. When she saw Liu Yu and Fang Yi coming down together, she said in disappointment, “Another one with female companion. We haven’t even opened today.”
Weiwei suddenly exclaimed in surprise, “Fang Yi!”
“Huh?” Fang Yi was suddenly stunned when she heard someone calling her. She looked at the girl in the distance and hesitated for a long time before asking, “Weiwei?”
“Wow! Fang Yi, it’s really you!” Weiwei ran over excitedly. She wanted to give Fang Yi a hug, but she seemed to be a little afraid of Liu Yu. She was clearly very excited, but she suddenly lowered her voice and did not dare to come closer.
“Liu Yu, I’ll go over for a while…” Fang Yi glanced at Liu Yu.
“You go ahead.” Liu Yu shrugged nonchalantly. He was not a ferocious beast, so he did not know why the girls did not dare to come over.
The two girls exchanged a few pleasantries and quickly separated. Weiwei ran to the side of the girl who was with them, and Fang Yi also walked back.
“Why are you back so soon?” Liu Yu asked curiously.
“My friend was afraid that you would be unhappy, so she left a contact and went off,” Fang Yi explained:
“Weiwei is my classmate from university. Because she is prettier, she has always wanted to find a rich man to marry. She thought that she would be able to get in touch with the rich second generation here, but she did not expect to live a humble life and look up to others’ faces everywhere…”
“Everyone’s life is their own choice.” Liu Yu changed the topic and said with a smile, “And I think you are much prettier than her!” Fang Yi’s face was plain, and with a little dressing up, she was completely incomparable to Weiwei.
“Aiya, don’t talk nonsense.” When Fang Yi heard Liu Yu praising her, she said that she didn’t want him to say it, but in her heart, she was very happy. “Liu Yu, she is now working as a shopping guide in the Commercial Street. Why don’t you let her take us around?”
“I’ll listen to you. You’re in charge today!” Liu Yu said generously.
“Darling, you’re the best!” Fang Yi kissed Liu Yu’s face and sent Weiwei a message with a smile.
After a while, Weiwei ran over, but she was wearing a cat-eared maid outfit. It seemed that she wanted to show off that Fang Yi was the real female companion.
It had to be said that Weiwei really knew this place like the back of her hand. Where there were special snacks and delicacies; where there were special toys and accessories; where the latest cutting-edge technology was sold; where there were fashionable and beautiful clothes.
In particular, there were all kinds of high-end custom-made clothing stores. One had to walk into them to know how incredible the life of a rich person was. Although it was called a clothing store, it was actually more like a small clothing factory.
The contracted designers would customize the clothes for their customers online. Then, through the selection of clothing materials and using 3D printing technology, they could directly take away the ready-made clothes within ten minutes. If the customers were not satisfied, they could directly decompose the clothes in the store and remake them.
The lunch was enjoyed in a fusion restaurant. With the increasing social atmosphere of efficiency, there were few restaurants in ordinary cities. The main way for people to get food was through the synthetic food in convenience stores.
With the increase in production efficiency, the channels for ordinary people to get fresh ingredients were also shrinking. All the food that could be industrialized had disappeared from the family kitchen, Liu Yu had basically never eaten food in the traditional sense before.
“You must try the poached fish here! It will be so delicious that you will cry!” Weiwei strongly recommended her favorite spicy poached fish.
“Huh! ?”Liu Yu tasted the fish and was immediately conquered by the smooth and tender taste. Although the taste of the seasoning was not much different from that of the synthetic food, the taste of the raw meat was still not completely imitated by the synthetic materials. In particular, the heat that was controlled by the chef gave the boiled fish a soul, which created a sharp contrast with the food produced by industrial production. Of course, this was also inseparable from the skills of the chef. Even Fang Yi could not help but give up on eating to her heart’s content.
“Fang Yi, I really miss the days when you used to cook,” Weiwei sighed.
“You can cook?” Liu Yu looked at Fang Yi in surprise.
Hearing that, Fang Yi blushed. “I’ve always liked to cook. Even if it’s synthetic food, I’ll try to reprocess it. Usually, when I procrastinate, I like to watch historical videos about cooking…”
