    On September 18, Qin Shiou changed into a Tang suit again and took Wei Ni to attend this Chinese gathering.

    When he went abroad, especially in North America, Qin Shiou discovered that the Chinese people paid special attention to some things in history. There were gatherings on many anniversaries and on many festivals.

    This is also a method used by Chinese to enhance cohesion, and compared with local white people, Chinese need unity more, so many immigrants welcome such gatherings to rely on friends when going out, and such gatherings are a good opportunity to meet friends and expand their circles.  .

    This gathering was not held in St. John's, but in Corner Brook, a city on the west coast of Newfoundland, Canada.

    St. John's is the largest city in Newfoundland, while Corner Brook ranks second, but there are more Chinese in this city than St. John's.

    This is related to the economic market composition of the two places. St. John's mainly generates income from fishing and tourism, while Corner Brook's economy relies on logging, limestone mining, livestock raising and papermaking. It is more suitable for Chinese investors and migrant workers to survive.  .

    Corner Brook is located at the mouth of the Humber River on the west coast of Newfoundland. It has a population of less than 50,000, including about 8,000 Chinese. It is a famous Chinese city in Canada.

    ¡°If it wasn¡¯t the first time I was invited and I was embarrassed to refuse, Qin Shiou really didn¡¯t want to go. Corner Brook is in the west of Newfoundland, and Farewell Town is in the east. The distance is really a bit far.

    Unfortunately, Qin Shiou couldn¡¯t fly a helicopter because they were wearing formal clothes to attend the party, and the wind was too strong when they got off the helicopter, which easily wrinkled their clothes and blew dust.

    This way you can only leave early, otherwise you will not be able to catch up with the party, so you can just go to dinner directly.

    Originally, Qin Shiou didn't want to drive because he felt a little tired, but that changed after he got on the road.

    Like other parts of Canada, Newfoundland has a vast territory and straight and wide roads. There are very few cars on the road in the morning. After driving on the road, it feels like a free rein on the grassland, which is very refreshing.

    At first, Qin Shiou was relatively restrained. When he saw the speed limit sign on the road, he controlled the speed below 100 kilometers per hour.

    Winnie smiled and said, "Just speed up. Don't worry about the speed limit sign. The speed limit sign in Newfoundland is just for decoration. You can drive up to 120 or even 150 now, it's absolutely no problem."

    When Qin Shiou heard this, he immediately stepped on the accelerator. The President No. 1 roared and accelerated again. The fir trees and maple trees on the roadside were quickly left behind.

    ¡°At this speed and in this road condition, the superior performance of President 1 is reflected.

    Although the speed increased repeatedly, the car did not drift at all and drove steadily on the road.  In addition, because the road is flat, you can't feel any bumps when sitting in the car. The method is just like sitting on a chair at home, and you can see the scenery outside the window receding.

    The best part is that when driving on such a flat road, Qin Shiou does not have to pay highway tolls. There is no toll road in Newfoundland, so you can drive as you like.

    After the sun rose and the air temperature increased, Qin Shiou opened the window and felt the refreshing breeze blowing by his ears.

    From St. John's to Corner Brook, we pass through semi-prairie areas on the way, so looking out from the car, we can often see for several kilometers at a glance. It is endless, and the sky and the earth seem to be connected.

    About halfway through the journey, Qin Shiou passed by a large lake. Wei Ni asked him to stop and take a rest. Qin Shiou got out of the car and walked to the lake for about ten minutes.

    This lake is larger and clearer than Shenbao Lake. It is a bit like a scene in "Forrest Gump". Forrest Gump is running on the road with such a big lake beside him.

    ¡°The lake water in the mountains around me is so clear, Jenny, it¡¯s like another piece of sky, blending together so that I can¡¯t tell which is the sky and which is the water.¡±

    Qin Shiou couldn't help but think of this classic line. The lake is so clear now.

    After taking a dozen photos, Qin Shiou went on the road again. Gradually there were more people and cars behind him. Every time a car passed by, both parties would sound their horns.  Sometimes some drivers will even chat on the radio.

    Qin Shiou felt that this situation was quite novel. He turned on the radio on the road and responded twice when someone spoke. He used to see such scenes when watching Hollywood western blockbusters, but he didn't expect that he would experience it now.

    In fact, this is normal. A six- or seven-hour drive is filled with endless emptiness, and it is easy to feel mentally exhausted and numb. In this way, drivers will naturally cherish every car they encounter on the road.

    ??Leaving out at six o¡¯clock in the morning, when having lunchAt this time, we finally arrived in the small town of Corner Brook.

    The folds that were scrubbed before the departure of President 1 were shining, but when they arrived at the Winston Ship Hotel in the small town, they were already covered with a layer of dust

    The Winston Wooden Boat Hotel is a five-star hotel in Corner Brook. Canada's tertiary industry is very developed. Even a city with a population of only 40 to 50,000 has several five-star hotels.

    Qin Shiou called Yan Donglei, and he drove over to pick them up.  Seeing Wei Ni wearing a cheongsam and her hair tied up in a high bun, Yan Donglei's eyes flashed with surprise and he said: "Xiao Qin, you are so lucky to have found such an outstanding girlfriend."

    Wei Ni smiled softly and said, "Thank you for the compliment."

    Yan Donglei raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I'm not complimenting you, I'm telling the truth, and your Chinese is also very good. Many Chinese brothers attending this meeting speak without standards."

    He took the two of them into the hotel. The room had been opened before, a deluxe double bed room. Yan Donglei asked if he had any objections. Qin Shiou smiled from ear to ear and kept saying no, no, fine, fine.

    There is one room and one big bed, what else should I change?  Who else would Qin Shiou be in a hurry with?

    At noon, Yan Donglei went to a Chinese restaurant called La Meizi, and he knew it was a Hunan restaurant.

    Yan Donglei introduced to him that the owners of the Winston Wooden Ship Hotel and this Chinese restaurant are all Chinese. Now the Chinese play a giant role in the economic development of the small town, and many industries have been acquired by the Chinese.

    The Chinese are now very famous in Canada, but unfortunately, this fame is only related to money.  Although Qin Shiou is an angry young man, he now has to admit that the image created by Japanese and Koreans in Canada is better.

    The party was held at 1:30 in the afternoon. Yan Donglei was indeed very popular among the Chinese community in Newfoundland. After they were seated, Liu Qing, the chef and owner of the restaurant, personally cooked fish head with chopped pepper, Dong'an chicken, steamed preserved meat, and steamed green pepper.  Famous Hunan dishes such as eggplant, rock sugar Xianglian, Wugang dried fragrant, red pepper cured beef, etc. were also served at the table to accompany them.

    During the meal, Yan Donglei briefly mentioned the process of the gathering. There was a report meeting in the afternoon, a tea party at around 4 o'clock, and the auction dinner in the evening at 6:30.

    After listening to Yan Donglei¡¯s introduction, Qin Shiou took out the auction items he had prepared this time.

    Opening the exquisite box, the magnificent golden conch revealed its stunning appearance. Yan Donglei was also a good connoisseur. When he saw the shell of the conch, his eyes widened and he said: "Xiao Qin, you are really spending a lot of money."  Ah." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
