Early the next morning, Zheng Jianguo directly stuffed his luggage into the trunk of Plymouth, drove to the physics laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for a half-day shift, ran to the rice noodle shop at noon to eat a 20% discount of rice noodles, and then arrived at Celia's biological laboratory without notice, but did not want to see a handwritten working time posted on the locked door: "6 am to 12 noon, 3 pm to 5 pm, 8 pm to 10 pm-"

"That's really hard-"

Looking at the work schedule in the biological laboratory, Zheng Jianguo didn't have much effort to figure out the benefits of doing this, don't look at the requirements to start work at 6 o'clock, but compared to the Massachusetts General Hospital where he is located, the interns and residents in other departments still get up at 4 o'clock in the morning and have to go to the hospital at 5 o'clock to do the handover.

Of course, the working hours of the hospital are different, think about Zheng Jianguo's emergency room, there are people like him who work for eight hours, and there are also people like Priny who work 24 hours a day, so Celia can arrange such a schedule, which shows that there is a reason for her.

At the very least, he knew that the human brain was most awake in the morning, and with it came the most efficient work, although he worked six hours at a time, but he could consider working only two hours in the afternoon, or two hours in the evening.

So under conservative speculation, it can be seen that the 8 hours from 12 o'clock to 20 o'clock are an important time period for ordinary people to socialize, and the social activities of the vast majority of people are completed during this time period.

Of course, considering that there are social activities in the evenings, the two hours of the normal working time range from 15 to 17 o'clock appear on the schedule, which is almost tailor-made for part-time students.

"Hello, this classmate—"

Not long after Zheng Jianguo stopped at the door of the laboratory at the transparent gate, a probing voice came from the side to draw his attention, and he looked at the other party's school police dress and some familiar cheeks, and immediately smiled: "I'm Zheng Jianguo, an associate professor of our school, and I want to come here to find Celia, but it seems that they haven't come to work yet——"

"Oh, the working hours in this lab are a little different—"

The vigilant school police officer looked Zheng Jianguo up and down, and then after looking at the work card he took out, he suddenly remembered the Zheng he saw last time, and couldn't help but look at what he was wearing and smiled: "Professor Zheng, you are wearing something different today." ”

"Hehe, I have to go to catch up with a party in the afternoon, I originally wanted to come and see it before leaving, so I'll talk about it when I come back~"

Because he was about to go to Manhattan, Zheng Jianguo was wearing a more formal three-piece suit when he went out today, and this is also the reason why the school police didn't recognize him, he wore a casual line shirt last time, of course, the main reason is that he rarely comes here and thinks: "I misunderstood you-"

"Just untie it~"

The school police officer said and returned the work card to Zheng Jianguo, who also saw the vigilance in the other party's brown eyes full of scrutiny, and immediately turned around with a smile and said goodbye, although there were still two hours before the boarding time, and now he left the campus when he was fine, drove the Plymouth car onto Federal Avenue, and went straight to the airport.

"Meteorologists have pointed out that this year's summer in the Boston area will be unusually hot due to the recent average temperature of 3 degrees higher than last year's."

Looking at the white swaying ground outside through his sunglasses, Zheng Jianguo unbuttoned the suit on his body, because his suit belongs to the custom series, a little bigger movement will make people feel a few yards smaller, plus after the radio reminder, he remembered that it seemed to have snowed at this time last year, and this year's summer is obviously a lot earlier: "It seems that this year is quite warm, so this year's electric fan, and it is not going to sell well? Hey, there is a school bus stopped in front of you——"

When Zheng Jianguo was thinking wildly, the car in front of him was quickly parked in the middle of the road, and after he slowed down, he saw a yellow bus with a flashing STOP light parked on the roadside lane in front of him.

Subconsciously stepped on the brake and pulled the handbrake, Zheng Jianguo looked at the yellow bus in the distance again, and felt a black shadow on the left lane, and then a shrill siren came: "Woo woo-"

"Is this someone overtaking the school bus?"

Zheng Jianguo, who suddenly flashed this thought in his mind, had not come back to his senses, and the siren had quickly disappeared in front, until a few minutes later the school bus started and he and the car in front of him quickly overtook one by one, but he didn't expect more helicopters to fly outside the window, and then the host on the radio changed his voice: "Emergency insertion, a locally numbered Toyota car was driving from south to north on Federal Highway, overtook the school bus that was picking up and dropping off students and drove north, ignoring the police warning and really fleeing——"

"Beyond the school bus and resisting arrest—"

Zheng Jianguo mourned for this buddy for a few seconds in his heart, and then saw the helicopter in the sky disappear out of the car window, there will be no aggravating circumstances in the Republic of China to resist arrest, even if it is placed decades later, it is only when the police are attacked in the process of resisting arrest, there will be a crime called obstruction of official business that can be applied.

However, in the United States, as long as the police are still standing when they are ordered to lie down, and they do not do so when they put their hands on the back of their heads, it is an aggravating circumstance of resisting arrest, and the most direct consequence is that the police automatically obtain the right to use weapons to ensure their own safety - in the free United States every day of shooting, even the police cannot judge whether the hand that is not raised will find the desert eagle from nowhere.

Soon the report on the radio about this disappeared, Zheng Jianguo drove to the parking lot of the airport, put on sunglasses and took out two suitcases from the trunk, in view of the fact that the trolley suitcase he imagined had not yet been built, not to mention the large and heavy box at this time, the design of the support or metal bracket, needless to say, a single empty box weighs seven or eight pounds.

"It's too hot—"

Passing by a few people who entered the parking lot, Zheng Jianguo stepped on the sound of complaints to the entrance of the departure hall, and didn't want to see a few reporters and photographers with long guns and short guns surrounding someone at the exit before the glass door opened, so he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly carried two suitcases to the baggage check-in office to go through the formalities, and then took the green card and ticket to the first-class ticket gate where no one was there, and the blonde with heavy makeup smiled at him: "Good afternoon-"

"Good afternoon!"

Zheng Jianguo handed over the ticket and green card, only to see the blonde take it and take a look, look at him again, quickly take the boarding pass he had handled, and return it to him with a smile: "I wish you a happy journey-"

"Thank you!"

After receiving the boarding pass in a polite way, Zheng Jianguo went to the security checkpoint next to him, and the detection methods at this time were still very primitive, but fortunately, his luggage was checked in, and there were relatively few things with him, except for the key certificate, which was a wallet.

After taking off the coat, let the security inspector touch it, even if it is checked and released, the handheld metal detector has not yet been invented, so don't say it is the metal security gate: "Thank you." ”

"Thank you for choosing First Class on Delta Airlines, I'm Mary, the reception manager of the lounge, and it's a pleasure to serve you—"

After taking the box containing the wallet and documents from the security inspector, Zheng Jianguo heard a voice next to him before he put on his suit, and couldn't help but turn his head and smile at the woman who was taller than himself: "Mary, can you help me introduce the facilities of the VIP lounge?" Although I have taken the plane many times, this is the first time to take the first class, and I will not tell you, this time I can take the first class, or take advantage of others——"

"Mr. Zheng, at Delta Air Lines, we are committed to providing excellent service to every customer, especially for First Class passengers, and we offer a separate lounge that makes our customers feel at home, and this lounge is your second home.

From relaxation to ordering to private personal retreats, we also offer massages to guests and invite them to experience our services if you have other companions. ”

Mary, who was always smiling, said, and brought Zheng Jianguo into the VIP lounge not far away, the latter only felt that the light became soft after the dimming in front of him, the marble entrance was paved with a soft carpet, and the air was also mixed with a faint fragrance, several groups of thick sofas and tables were deliberately placed on one side with some kind of messy regularity, and Mary, who found him looking, also spoke: "This is the social area we have prepared for passengers, a place for passengers to communicate freely——"

"Over there is our bar, which serves all the top brands in the world, and there is the biggest TV by far across the street—"

As Zheng Jianguo's gaze shifted, Mary also took him to the distance, and soon the two walked and interacted past the bar and a TV embedded in the wall, and arrived at the counter full of various pastries and fruits: "This is our dining area for passengers, if Mr. Zheng is not satisfied with these pastries and fruits, we also provide a special menu, and the three-Michelin-starred chef will meet your other requirements in terms of catering——"

"And if you want to relax after a meal, we also offer a lounge area including a private TV, as well as a reading area including Turkish coffee, a playroom for the kids, a gym including a sauna—"

When Mary's voice came into his ears from time to time, Zheng Jianguo was already completely shocked by what he heard and saw, it is said that he has taken many planes, even more than the vast majority of Americans, whenever he used to sit in the waiting hall with an economy class ticket, he also looked at the VIP waiting hall entered by well-dressed men and women and imagined: "What's good in there, but it's just a bigger place to rest and more comfortable!"

Until this time, as the talk of the second home came into his ears, and even the wall TV that he didn't have a home that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars came into view, Zheng Jianguo deeply felt the enjoyment brought by money, and this was only the point where he temporarily settled down-

"Mr. Zheng, I have already introduced you to the facilities of our Delta Air Lines lounge, if you need anything, you can ask a staff member to arrange for them to do it, and I will not continue to bother you here. ”

Mary still maintained the smile she had when she met before, and Zheng Jianguo nodded and said, "Thank you, thank you very much for the introduction you made here, this is simply an eye-opener for me, but I still have a question, that is, are these eating, drinking, and merrymaking services you mentioned charged?"

"No, the service is provided for free, at no charge—"

The smile on Mary's fair cheeks was still the same, and Zheng Jianguo felt that the rice noodles he spent $4 on at noon were too much of a loss, not to mention the craftsmanship of a three-Michelin-starred chef - the $4 could have been saved.

As if feeling the silent cry in Zheng Jianguo's heart, Mary smiled at him after finishing speaking, and said, "Considering that you are here for the first time, Mr. Zheng, I especially recommend our hamburger set to you, which includes watermelon with cheese basil, tomato bisque sandwich with grilled cheese, and refrigerated Parma ham. ”

"Okay, thank you, Mary, I can't wait to try the burger set you said right now—"

Originally, I felt that the $4 for lunch was in vain, Zheng Jianguo heard such a suggestion, and said with a look of wanting to taste it, but Mary still maintained her previous smile and said, "Then I'll take you over——"

"Good!"

Zheng Jianguo looked at the empty VIP lounge, thinking that he hadn't seen a few people since he came in before and arrived at the dining area, Mary made a gesture of invitation to the nearest table and chair: "Please wait here, I'll order you food, I don't know if you have any requirements for champagne——"

"Oh, sorry, I don't drink, just get me a drink. ”

Hearing that someone let him drink, of course Zheng Jianguo politely refused, not to mention that his amount of alcohol was not much, just considering that he had drunk too much and said something inappropriate, then there would be no way to cry: "That's it, trouble you!"

"Okay, then I'll order your food. ”

Mary smiled and said and turned to leave, Zheng Jianguo was relieved to lean on the back of the chair, his eyes swept over the delicate decoration and soft lighting, just when he looked at his watch and wanted to time the meal, he saw that the disappeared Mary had already arrived in front of him with a waiter with a plate, Zhan Yan smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Zheng, I have already ordered a meal for you, if you have other needs, please order these service staff, I wish you a happy meal." ”

"Okay, Mary, thank you!"

After finishing his eyes on Mary, Zheng Jianguo found that when the boss in front of him had placed half a palm-sized sandwich on the plate, the waiter next to him had already spoken: "This is a sandwich with grilled cheese, please use it slowly——"

"Hey!"

As the waiter's voice did not fall, a very characteristic voice came, and Zheng Jianguo subconsciously turned his head to look at the voice.

When he didn't want to see three men in suits and leather shoes straightening up, Mary leaned over each other slightly, it was an unusual standard Japanese-style greeting gift, and he found that among the three men, there was a familiar face: "So coincidentally?"
