Zheng Jianguo's first-class ticket was booked for him by Bruce, and this is also the reason why he was like Grandma Liu, who had entered the Grand View Garden, in the waiting hall prepared for first-class passengers.

It's just that at this moment, with the impact of the previous unimaginable past, and the emotional reason began to return, I felt that although these arrangements were luxurious and did not cost money, the wool came out of the sheep.

With a first-class ticket price of $1,200, the money saved can buy a house in the second ring of the capital-

So with this thought, Zheng Jianguo originally planned to feast on the idea of not eating for nothing, and eating is earning, but he didn't expect to meet Arai Xiong here, a neighbor of the São Paulo community.

So when the other party said something to Mary, and strode over, Zheng Jianguo's movements in his hand stopped, and when he looked at the other party with a smile and wanted to say hello, he had already stopped at a position two meters away from him, and his upper and lower bodies became ninety degrees: "Doctor Zheng, it's a great honor to meet you here, it just so happens that we haven't eaten yet, I wonder if I can have lunch with you?"

"Mr. Arai, please be seated—"

Seeing that the other party was so polite, Zheng Jianguo also moved his stool and stood up, and made a gesture of invitation to the other party, he and this person were not the first time to meet, they had known each other at the community meeting a few months ago, but this was the first time that the two sides greeted each other: "This was originally a semi-open public place, and I was very happy to meet Mr. Arai." ”

"Allow me to introduce to you, this is my brother, Yasu Arai, and this is my brother-in-law Ken Maeda-"

Arai Xiong's height is a head shorter than Zheng Jianguo, and Arai Kang next to him is half a catty, with a soft smile on his face with a small nose and small eyes, but Maeda Jian next to him is a little taller than Zheng Jianguo, but the two of them invariably met him again in the introduction, Zheng Jianguo simply reached out and shook his hand after bowing to the other party, and the four of them were officially acquainted: "Three of you, please sit." ”

Zheng Jianguo was originally a little upset when he was disturbed while eating, especially when the three new joiners sat down, just when he looked at the half of the sandwich in front of him and considered whether to continue eating or waiting, Arai Xiong had already spoken: "It's not the right time for us to come, Doctor Zheng, please continue to eat, and the meal we ordered will come soon——"

"Good. ”

Zheng Jianguo continued to eat by himself, and saw Mary, who was watching from a distance, turn around, and soon saw three waiters appear with plates, and he remembered what Mary said before: "If there are companions, you can also enjoy it for free——"

"These two are here to eat?"

With this faint thought in his heart, the three new Arai Xiongs on the table did not speak, until Zheng Jianguo even finished the main meal, the three of them also put it down at the same time, and asked the waiter to remove the plate and ask for charcoal coffee, and he changed his mind: "Bring me a cup of Kona coffee, the original flavor is fine." ”

"I didn't expect Dr. Zheng to be different, most of the other young people order blended coffee when they drink coffee, and use sugar or milk to cover the sour and bitter taste of the coffee, but I don't know that the reason why coffee is fascinating is not the delicate feeling mixed with sour and bitterness——"

The smiling Arai Xiong said that he was obviously making a conclusion after analysis, Zheng Jianguo didn't expect this person to be able to say such a naked sycophant, and immediately smiled: "Mr. Arai has won the award, for me, the role of coffee is still refreshing, relieving fatigue and reducing work pressure, and providing efficiency in work and study, so I choose original coffee, which can be enhanced with sour bitterness——"

"Does Dr. Cheng also have that much pressure to study and work?"

A faint smile faded a little, and Arai Xiong's round face showed curiosity, and he continued: "I heard that you seem to have a natural instinct for learning, and what others find difficult seems to you to be easy-"

"The natural intuition is also to sweat to water, the feeling of ease is just the illusion of others, because when I give, not many people see it, people will always subconsciously forget the process of paying, and focus on the result. ”

Seeing that the other party wanted to talk to him, Zheng Jianguo felt that this was what the neighbors who didn't know about him thought, and then the waiter next to him brought coffee before he finished speaking, and everyone took a sip after putting it down in front of him, but it didn't take much for Maeda Jian next to him to look at the watch on his wrist, and Mary, who had disappeared earlier, appeared next to him, and said fluently: "Mr. Arai, your flight can be boarded——"

"Looks like I still have to learn the language. ”

With this thought flashing through Mary's voice in his mind, Arai Xiong opposite Zheng Jianguo had already stood up and said in spoken English: "Doctor Zheng, it's a great honor to chat with you, it's time to leave now, let's talk another day!"

"Have a nice trip!"

Zheng Jianguo simply threw out a sentence in Mandarin, and when Arai Xiong was stunned, Maeda Jian next to him whispered in his ear: "This is the wish to bless us to be able to reach our destination safely when we travel——"

"Thank you!"

After saying it again, Arai Xiong bowed again with a flash on his face, and then turned around and left with the two people who had also bowed next to him, until he boarded the first class cabin of the plane in the departure hall, and Arai Yasushi next to him opened his mouth and said: "Although he is dressed very much like an elite, he can still see his nouveau riche nature in eating and drinking, and he eats not for tasting, but for satisfying his stomach——"

"He has been in the United States for less than two years, and he has changed from a student from a backward country to a doctor in the United States, and now he can't forget the suffering of hunger, and the purpose of eating is naturally to satisfy his stomach, as for the taste of taste, it will have to wait a few years, you can see that he drinks coffee, the purpose is to refresh himself-"

Shaking his head, Arai Xiong, accompanied by the flight attendant, took the two to the first class, sat down and looked at the two and said, "Do you see how he eats and drinks, does he look like a person with a net worth of millions?"

"Millions, millions, dollars?"

Arai Kang quickly raised his head and asked, then he saw Arai Xiong's eyes glaring, and then he changed his words: "How did he earn it?"

"First he sold a game design, and then he made a wave of money after last year's silver war, and he closed his position before the silver price crashed, and the media reported that he had almost 10 million in revenue at that time, which I only learned when I heard that he moved to St. Paul Street——"

For Zheng Jianguo, Arai Xiong didn't know much news, and he still heard it from his wife, who had participated in many community activities: "I've seen it at community meetings before but I didn't greet it, so I'll take you two to meet you today, Maeda, don't neglect Dr. Zheng because of your age." ”

"Hey, brother-in-law, I remember!"

Maeda Ken leaned forward and responded, Arai Xiong nodded, and then a few more figures next to him arrived in the first class cabin, and the smiling flight attendant pushed a trolley and appeared in the wide aisle, with a crisp voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Delta Airlines-"

As the voice of the flight attendant sounded, the plane was slowly pushed away from the boarding gate by the tractor, and at this time, Zheng Jianguo, who was standing in the VIP waiting hall, saw the plane disappear at the end of the runway, and a thought flashed in his mind.

"3050 meters!"

The tall waiter said with a smile, and then saw that the first-class VIP nodded and said no more, curiosity suddenly flashed in his blue eyes, and he said tentatively: "Sir, is there anything you need my services in?"

"No, thank you!"

The number of 3310 meters flashed in his mind, and Zheng Jianguo's subsequent resentment couldn't help but come out, because at this time, there is no runway more than 3310 meters in the domestic civil airport, and the white swan can only choose other airports for refueling.

Considering the efficiency of the White Swan's engine, it is a quarter higher than the original Concord engine, which reduces the original consumption of almost 20 tons per hour to 16 tons, that is, the original 20 tons of fuel can fly less than a quarter of the distance.

Therefore, based on this situation, the White Swan, which has entered the late stage of modification, has reduced the number of fully loaded fuel to 120 tons, and removed half of the fuel tank that originally occupied most of the cabin, freeing up more space to improve the comfortable environment of the cabin, and at the same time, due to its own weight, it has also reduced the full load take-off distance from 3500 meters to 3310 meters.

However, the runway of 3310 meters is still 310 meters more than the runway of the capital airport at this time, so if you want to go straight from the capital to Boston, you must refuel once during the flight.

The first option given by the aerospace company was to load 100 tons of fuel from the capital or Hong Kong Island, refuel through San Francisco or Portland, Los Angeles and Seattle, and then fly directly to Boston.

The second option is to fly directly to Narita Airport, which has not yet been renamed, and this newly built airport, which was only opened the year before last, has a runway with a length of 4,000 meters, which can be refueled and fly directly to Boston.

Both options are to the west, while the third is to the east, which requires the passage of South Vietnamese and Cambodian airspace through Bangkok Airport, which was opened in 1914 and has two runways of more than 3,500 meters.

It's just that no matter which airport you choose as the refueling airport, you will waste 20 tons of fuel and more than an hour, and the fuel consumption for take-off and landing is much higher than that for cruising - but unfortunately Shanxian Airport is still alive and dead.

With a faint resentment, Zheng Jianguo ate something in the VIP hall again, and there were a few more people in the VIP hall who were obviously first-class passengers, but fortunately, he didn't have the idea of getting to know him, and those people obviously had similar ideas to him, until Mary took him and a few people to the boarding gate, and boarded the plane under the gaze of the passengers who were already lined up next to him.

"Isn't it the treatment of two loveseats for one person?"

Seeing that the so-called first-class cabin was just a wider and longer space and chairs, Zheng Jianguo had an unbelievable feeling in his mind, but found that the other passengers who sat down did not have any objections, so he honestly sat in his seat, and the flight attendant next to him also introduced: "Welcome gentlemen and ladies to Delta Airlines, we provide free cigarettes and seafood for passengers who take this flight, if there are passengers who need it, they can call us directly, thank you——"

"Free cigarettes—"

The smokers in the previous flights flashed in his mind, and Zheng Jianguo threw this unnecessary worry behind him, but set up the chair that could be flattened as a reclining chair, and found the aviation magazine provided and read it, and soon the fuselage shook The tower outside the porthole next to it began to move, and someone behind him already beckoned: "Flight attendant, please help me send a Marlboro over——"

"You can have a VCR and headset for your next flight—"

After summarizing the gains and losses this time, Zheng Jianguo took out a small notebook and wrote it down, and felt a faint smoke drifting behind him, and he had to pray in his heart: "I hope this flight is okay——"

"Ahem, ahem—"

As Zheng Jianguo prayed, there was a heart-rending cough in the first-class cabin, and the flight attendants ran over: "Sir, are you okay? This cigarette should be fine-"

"Ahem - it's not about smoking, it's about my body, it's about my body, I'm in the advanced stage of lung cancer, ahem, the doctor told me to quit smoking, if I can quit smoking, will I still get lung cancer?"

The coughing voice came shouting, but Zheng Jianguo didn't even look up to look, everyone has the right to choose, even if they ignore the feelings of doctors, relatives, and friends, they still go their own way, and on this plane, it is the feelings of the flight attendants: "You should listen to the doctor-"

"Hmph, doctor? Those people who only know how to see the test results are also worthy of being called doctors? I complain that my lung cancer is caused by smoking, but there are so many people who smoke, why do only a very small number of people get lung cancer? It's just nonsense-"

As if remembering his own treatment process, the person who spoke vented his complaint at the flight attendant, who was obviously hindered by his own duties, and could only make a final effort: "But everyone believes in the doctors, and they will come to them if they have physical problems, which must make sense-"

"Makes sense, so tell me what the doctors did to heal people, and they just used all kinds of tools, medicines, needles, scalpels, films, lab results, and then put them all together, and they told me they had lung cancer—"

With the explanation of the flight attendant, the voice of the person who had lung cancer became louder and louder, so in the following time, Zheng Jianguo felt that he was not sitting in first class, if someone in the economy class was so noisy during the flight, I am afraid that it would have caused public anger a long time ago.

However, since the cargo got on the plane, and when she had been nagging for an unknown amount of time, there was suddenly a fair cheek next to her, and the red lips of the blonde high nose bridge came into view, accompanied by a faint fragrance, and she lowered her voice: "This gentleman may be claustrophobia, so he is using this method to relieve his pressure - please don't worry about him, Dr. Zheng." ”
