America: I came here to study, not to show mercy.

Chapter 115: Virtual Workplace Selection
The architectural styles throughout Manhattan vary greatly. There are modern glass curtain walls that blend history and abstract forms, as well as old-fashioned wheel hub shapes with industrial aesthetics dominated by vertical lines and geometric decorations.

Since the breakthrough of elevator technology in the late 19th century, this area has entered the era of skyscrapers. With the continuous development to this day, more high-rise buildings with modern styles have been built. Here, you can clearly see the development history of skyscrapers at a glance.

Li Xiaoen walked along the road, admiring the scenery of Manhattan's skyscrapers. He looked up from the information he was checking on his mobile phone and was quite emotional for a moment.

No wonder the old skyscrapers like the Empire State Building he saw had gray surfaces. Upon checking, he found out that they were antiques that were more than 90 years old.

Even so, perhaps because he has seen too many modern skyscrapers, he also likes this kind of ancient and heavy style of architecture.

Looking back, Li Xiaoen immediately remembered Sufei, whom he said goodbye to in Chinatown.

At that time, Sufeil frowned and looked at him for a long time without saying a word, then suddenly turned and left, making him unable to figure out what he was thinking.

No, when we get back to Princeton in the evening, we won’t even be able to enter the school gate, right?

Thinking of the obstacles Sufei had always put in his way, Li Xiaoen shook his head with a somewhat amusing look. He came here to study abroad, and somehow got involved with such a young lady. The source of everything was due to the tip dispute the night before school started.

But now thinking back, if I were to go back to that time, I would probably still do the same thing.

Without thinking any more, Li Xiaoen followed the instructions on the map and came to the high-rise building of 11 Pennsylvania Square. After confirming that it was correct, he walked into a Starbucks coffee shop downstairs.

After ordering an iced American coffee, Li Xiaoen looked around and saw a small staircase, so he sat in a corner on the second floor.

[Successfully used the long-term activity prop card for playing house]

[The base has been confirmed, the interactive reality loading is complete, the host can go there to sign for it, and then the pretend family mission will begin]

[Play House virtual work location to be determined, time limit: 18:07:29]

[After the host determines the virtual work location, they must clock in once a week to complete their work. Salaries and bonuses will be paid according to the host's current ability and the company's regulations.]

Bringing up the system screen, Li Xiaoen couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw the information displayed on it.

After several days, the house in a community located in the Suffield villa had been completed and could be signed for at any time. This was what he expected, but he had never thought that he would have to play house after signing for it.

Household tasks, wouldn’t they include being a housewife, buying groceries, cooking, etc.?
Thinking of his childish behavior with a few girls when he returned to his hometown as a child, Li Xiaoen still feels embarrassed and can't help but touch his forehead.

[Company location confirmed: 11 Pennsylvania Square]

【Company Location Company Searching...】

[Businesses at this location: Vornado Realty Trust, Naxos Technology Innovations, Apple, Lumina Fashion Creative, Starbucks Coffee Shop...]

[Host, please confirm. After confirmation, a company will be randomly selected for employment.]

Li Xiaoen: “???”

Withdraw!

Li Xiaoen conveyed the instructions in his mind, and frowned when he saw the prop cancellation information appear on the screen.

Before I could catch my breath, a figure in a black silk skirt came towards me, and a soft voice came over.

"Hello, are you alone? There's not enough space in the store. Can I sit across from you?"

Looking up, meeting those cautious and slightly apologetic eyes, Li Xiaoen couldn't help but turn his head to glance at other places in the store.

It would be a lie to say that there were no empty seats in the restaurant. In fact, every table was occupied, and among the many people sharing the table, the young woman chose herself.

"Please sit down." Li Xiaoen nodded.

"Thank you."

The young woman nodded quickly, put her backpack down on the floor, sat on the chair, and took out her laptop.

Looking back at the woman's solemn and nervous expression, Li Xiaoen tentatively submitted the props again. [Company location confirmed: 11 Pennsylvania Square, 4th floor]

[The host is not within the location range, please reselect]

"..."

[Company location confirmed: 11 Pennsylvania Square, 1st Floor]

【Company Location Company Searching...】

[Businesses at this location: Starbucks Coffee Shop, Pret A Maanager Light Meal Shop, Metroquick 24-hour Convenience Store...]

It turned out to be the case.

Finally figuring out the rules for using the props, Li Xiaoen took a deep breath and frowned.

Address confirmation requires his actual location. The submitted location can be any range of other people's locations, but if there are multiple companies, the system will automatically select a random company for him to virtually join.

The good news is that Apple is located on the fourth to fourteenth floors of this building, which are all single-story office areas, but the bad news is that Apple does not seem to allow visits from unrelated personnel.

This is a difficult situation.

Li Xiaoen frowned, and seeing that it was almost time, he got up and went downstairs to get the iced American coffee he had prepared.

When he came back, he saw a young man in a white shirt and trousers sitting next to his table, whispering something with the young woman opposite him.

"Ah, look."

Noticing Li Xiaoen's return, the woman quickly signaled, "He's back with coffee."

The man frowned and turned his head, glancing at Li Xiaoen's well-matched and elegant clothes, and finally fixed his gaze on the young man's handsome face, then silently lowered his eyes.

"I'm a little sorry, but can I get your contact information?" Not giving up, the man bent down and asked the woman again.

"Oh, sure. Thank you for your appreciation and recognition."

The young woman was delighted when she heard this, nodded quickly, and gave out her cell phone number.

The man tapped his fingers on his phone to record the information. A smile finally appeared on his face. He nodded to the woman and said, "I'll contact you tonight."

After saying that, he turned and left the coffee shop without waiting for the woman to react.

Only then did the woman breathe a sigh of relief and her expression quickly returned to normal.

"Thanks for saving me a spot."

Li Xiaoen tilted his head and said something, then sat back down opposite the woman.

"Need not."

The woman forced a smile, replied briefly, and then hurriedly looked down at the computer screen.

In contrast, Li Xiaoen took a sip of coffee and his eyes became more lively when he looked at the woman.

Speaking of which, the woman in front of him has the capital to be aggressively approached by men. She has delicate features, fair skin, and a thin figure. But under the black silk hip skirt and professional attire, she still has the necessary curves. Her black hair is tied behind her head, revealing her entire oval face, making her look very capable.

None of this is important. What he cares about is the identity of the other party who is interviewing for the position at Apple.

Shaking his head, Li Xiaoen looked at the woman opposite him with a smile and asked:
"Excuse me, are you going to the Apple company in this building for an interview?"
