Chapter 422: Drag Racing
Silicon Valley, located in the state of California, United States, is right next to the Golden Mountain Bay Area.
This is where the most computer companies in the United States are located and is also the most technologically advanced place in the world.
This seemingly inconspicuous small area manages to absorb over a third of the United States' venture capital funds every year, making it undoubtedly a land of miracles.
This place has birthed many billionaires, countless multimillionaires, and even more managers with assets in the millions, making it the birthplace of America's wealthy.
Silicon Valley, this land of miracles, sees the emergence of many computer-related companies every year.
Some of them may go bankrupt soon, but some could become the next big tech giant.
These newly emerging companies constantly attract the attention of capital investors hoping to identify those with development potential and invest early to reap returns far exceeding their input.
Today, this place once again drew the attention of countless people, making Silicon Valley the focus of the United States again.
However, this time, it's not because a new promising company emerged, nor because those tech giants have any eye-catching new products.
It is because Jiang Cheng, a genius from the Yan Family, had some unexpected developments while negotiating with Facebook's founder, Mark Zuckerberg, creating a big news story.
Initially, Zhang Dabiao's high-speed car chase in the streets of Silicon Valley was already shocking news.
His speed of over 160 kilometers per hour was unimaginable, and coupled with the FBI vehicles in hot pursuit, it was like a real-life version of "Fast and Furious."
The United States television station, having received the news, even dispatched a helicopter, hoping to conduct a live broadcast and stir up a big news story.
Unfortunately, by the time their helicopter arrived at the scene, the speeding car had already vanished without a trace.
Meanwhile, the FBI vehicles had also abandoned the chase, heading in another direction.
Such a situation left the television crew in the helicopter deeply disappointed.
"Damn it, we even flew the helicopter over, and yet we're still a step too late to capture this big news,"
complained the beautiful hostess, tidying her wind-blown hair and beginning to grumble with a pout.
Her looks were undeniably above average, and her figure was strikingly attractive. She was quite the captivating presence.
Hostesses like her typically don't need to worry about gaining fame, yet she rushed over in a helicopter for this unexpected event.
It's known that conducting a live broadcast from a helicopter is incredibly dangerous, with even the slightest mistake posing a life threat.
Helicopter accidents occur frequently worldwide, and they are far more dangerous than those in airplanes.
After tidying her hair, the beautiful hostess tightened her seatbelt and continued to complain, "Taking such a risk and ending up with no news to show for it, today is truly unlucky. Had I known, I wouldn't have exerted myself to come over, staying safe at the television station would have been better."
Sitting next to her was a middle-aged man with a camera on his shoulder, appearing to be the cameraman sent by the television station for this occasion.
Listening to the hostess's complaints, the middle-aged cameraman removed the heavy camera from his shoulder and let out a long sigh.
Carrying such a heavy camera is not an easy task, and compared to the hostess, his job was certainly more strenuous.
However, he did not join the hostess in complaining. As a cameraman, he had no room for complaints.
The hostess wasn't afraid of others hearing her complaints, as he heard she had some close relationship with a senior figure at the television station, making her immune to others giving her a hard time.
As for the exact nature of that close relationship, it was not something to be disclosed to outsiders.
The middle-aged cameraman, unlike the beautiful hostess beside him, didn't have her physical advantages and thus had to work harder.
To be able to work as a cameraman alongside this beautiful hostess already made him feel quite satisfied.
It was just a stroke of bad luck this time, arriving slightly late, but not capturing major news was no big deal. We will have plenty of opportunities in the future," the cameraman consoled the beautiful hostess without minding his own fatigue.
Hearing the cameraman's comforting words, the hostess's mood slightly improved, but she still carried a hint of resentment and said, although what you're saying isn't wrong, there will be more opportunities in the future, but to let such big news slip past like this is really frustrating.
This unexpected event, if she could have conducted a live broadcast, would have made her famous instead of being stuck in a not-quite-successful position.
After all, this real-life "Fast and Furious" scenario is not something that happens every day.
Besides, it's said that the car evading FBI capture was driving at 160 kilometers per hour, newsworthy enough to make the headlines of many media outlets.
If I could have completed the live broadcast, I would have truly made a name for myself, the beautiful hostess thought to herself, unwilling to let it go.
At this moment, the cameraman beside her suddenly showed an excited expression and shouted loudly, "I just got news from the station through my headset; there's another car chase happening on the streets, and those FBI vehicles didn't give up the chase but turned to pursue another car!"
The car the cameraman referred to was the one Jiang Cheng was driving.
Upon hearing this news, the beautiful hostess immediately snapped out of her previous disappointment and became very spirited, filled with fighting spirit.
This time she wouldn't miss the car chase spectacle.
Today was truly a day of ups and downs in the life of that television hostess.
She hadn't thought that after missing a good opportunity, fate would offer her such a big gift.
Who would have thought, on an ordinary day, that two high-speed car chase incidents would occur consecutively?
"Quick, change direction and accelerate to the scene, we mustn't miss it this time. Today, we're bound to make a big news story!" the beautiful hostess shouted passionately to the helicopter pilot, "Roger that, adjusting course immediately. Don't worry, we'll make it this time!"
