Star Tycoon

Chapter 189 Destiny
After Zhu Nuanyue changed her clothes and came out, only Bai Wanru and Bai Mengru were left in the room.

"Great, that person is finally gone. I hate him!"

Zhu Nuanyue smiled at Bai Wanru, then wrinkled her nose and brows to make a face that showed she disliked someone.

Bai Wanru was amused by this lively and spirited atmosphere, and her bad mood from before disappeared.

“I hate that idiot too. Mengru, you should just divorce him.”

Bai Mengru said irritably, "I'm divorced, are you going to support me?"

Bai Wanru said directly, "Fine! I'll raise you, you little good-for-nothing, and your daughter too!"

"Nobody would believe you!" Bai Mengru rolled her eyes dismissively. "I make at least six million a month, seventy million a year. Give me ten years' worth, and I'll believe you."

Bai Wanru was furious. Looking at this woman who was almost forty, she said, "Do you think you're made of gold?"

Bai Mengru retorted irritably, "And you? Don't you even know how old you are!"

Seeing that the twin sisters were about to start arguing again, Zhu Nuanyue quickly said, "Stop arguing! Let's go see a stage play! Maybe there are some handsome guys in it, let's go check it out!"

Thanks to Zhu Nuanyue's witty remarks, the Bai sisters reconciled.

The relationship wasn't great, but it wasn't particularly bad either; it was just barely maintained. I had one sister who could be considered a friend.

The three of them, along with their assistants, went to see the show, and they booked the best, most expensive seats.

While on her way to the Grand Theatre, Zhu Nuanyue scrolled through her phone and soon came across a viral video.

"Mom! Leona posted a video; it looks like she's going to build a house."

Bai Wanru was also scrolling through her phone when she heard this and came over to look at her daughter's phone.

Leona posted a video of a watermelon patch on YS, along with two captions.

I want to build a large building in my small town, Watermelon Town. It will be our new headquarters, and we welcome all the top companies in the United States to set up offices here.

How long do you think it will take us to complete this new 527.2-meter Empire State Building? Is it more than a year and a month, or less?

Leona's videos and posts quickly garnered over 100,000 likes and were shared hundreds of thousands of times!

Countless lighthouse enthusiasts erupted in jubilation!
Empire State Building!

The tallest building ever built in the United States 84 years ago!

It is 443.2 meters high, has 102 floors, and took one year and one month to build.

It is the pinnacle of the United States' construction industry and a symbol of the United States' golden age!

Leona's ambition to build the Empire State Building and fill the 84-year gap at 443.2 meters is now completely undisguised.

But people in the US prefer this direct and violent approach!

The new Empire State Building has begun fundraising, and Leanna doesn't need to find anyone to attract investment; entrepreneurs from home and abroad have already taken the initiative to sponsor it.

Among them are many wealthy Asians.

Engineers and civil engineers around the world are talking about this new Empire State Building.

Politicians in various countries are also assessing this possibility and seeking expert advice.

"It's basically impossible; it would be very difficult to build a building over 400 meters tall within a year."

"But it's not impossible. After all, 84 years ago someone built a 443-meter building in a year. Now, almost a century has passed, and mechanical and construction technologies have advanced by leaps and bounds. Theoretically, it's not impossible."

In reality, everyone thought it was impossible; a year was too short a time, and there simply wasn't enough time to build a building over 400 meters tall.

But such instances have indeed occurred in reality, and that old Empire State Building is still in use today, still standing in the heart of the United States.

If workers and technology from 84 years ago could build the 443-meter Empire State Building in one year and one month, there's no reason why people today can't do it.

But... I just can't do it!
Can our country do that?

"Basically... it's unlikely. With current technology, three days is already the limit for one floor. Any more than that would be unsafe."

"Can Leona do that?"

"It's probably impossible. Lone Star State is prone to hurricanes. Neither the geology nor the surrounding environment is suitable for building high-rise buildings. I think the possibility is close to zero. I can't rule out that she did this kind of publicity to make money."

The others thought it was very likely, since Leona hadn't specified how long it would take to build the building. 84 years ago, the construction speed was more than one floor per day, meaning the 443-meter building would be completed in less than 400 days.

A building that's over 500 meters tall... it's really hard to guess how long it will last.

If the Smiths can really do it, even if it takes them two or three years to repair the new Empire State Building, then they will be the hope of the United States and the spiritual leaders of the younger generation!

Lighthouse Dream!
Whether they are Black, White, or Asian, they will all vote for them!

At first, everyone thought that Cotton Town was going to be a small processing factory.

As a result, John Smith made a big move, creating a short video app that quickly attracted a large number of users and entered the internet industry.

At first, everyone thought they were going to become internet stars.

As a result, the factory was built in just six months, and the stage play "The Lion King" was rehearsed.

At first, everyone thought that The Lion King was just a slightly better stage play, including the executives of the fruit company and government staff.

And then they pulled off something big, inexplicably becoming top influencers!
Steve and the others initially thought John Smith was a worthwhile investment, but anything too far in the future seemed unlikely.

When John Smith and Leona stood together, the handsome and beautiful celebrity couple, with their perfect chemistry, created an explosive effect where one plus one equals more than three.

Only then did all the capitalists and politicians realize the influence of this couple, as well as that of Cotton Town and Watermelon Town.

When Leona wants to rebuild the Empire State Building, she will be automatically matched with a Beacon of Light who is willing to sacrifice himself for his ideals.

Whether they are soldiers or civilians, any family that has experienced the most glorious era of the United States will support them!

No land lacks ambitious people with dreams.

The cost of hiring a gunman to assassinate the couple would be extremely high.

By the time capitalists and lawmakers wanted to stop it, it was too late. Now all they could do was try to win them over or hope they would make a fool of themselves and fall from grace.

The people of the United States believe in the existence of God and that the couple is destined for each other.

The people of China believe they are descendants of the Yellow Emperor and have the purest bloodline, while the people of the Lighthouse believe that Mr. and Mrs. Smith are the true Lighthouse people and best represent the Lighthouse Dream in the universally recognized sense.

As an Asian, Bai Wanru didn't really understand the Lighthouse culture, let alone the significance of the Empire State Building, which was no longer the tallest building.

However, after seeing the large number of white supporters in the comments section and the support of hundreds of thousands of people, Bai Wanru quickly learned about the history of the building from domestic AI forums.

Even at this point, Bai Wanru still didn't understand the significance of Leona building the new Empire State Building.

Suddenly, the actors on stage shouted out their lines.

This is a very normal line, and it's a line that was already present in this part of The Lion King's storyline.

There were no problems with either the actors' performances or the dialogue.

But the white audience members in the theater were quickly moved by those words.

Countless people stood up, raised their fists, and shouted slogans with great emotion.

"king!"

Simba!

"Make the beacon of the nation great again!"

"Long live Leona! Long live John!"

……

The chaotic shouts disrupted the performance on stage and left many wealthy people like Bai Wanru feeling bewildered.

Even if these people who have no motherland in their hearts have the citizenship of the United States, they will not be able to understand the cultural identity of the United States.

For every thousand readers, there are a thousand Hamlets.

The core of The Lion King has been redefined with new meaning!
Regardless of its past, from now on it will be a patriotic film that resonates with people who live in the Lighthouse!
The bullet of time was fired unintentionally half a century ago, when many people were still children. It has traveled for half a century and landed on many middle-aged and elderly people who are beginning to reminisce about the glorious years, as well as young people who have begun to doubt the existence of the lighthouse dream.

The people of the beacon nation are all waiting for a hero, a king with a divine mandate, to arrive, sweep across the land, and reveal the unseen light.

"You are my son, and my only king!"
