Chapter 294: Arrival in the United States
After walking out of the airport, Chen Ping saw at a glance the employees of Baidu holding a sign in front of him to greet him.
Chen Ping walked over quickly, greeted the other party with a smile, and then said softly, "Did Mr. Li ask you to pick me up?"
Holding the sign with Chen Ping's name written on it, the middle-aged man standing in front of Chen Ping, looked at Chen Ping in front of him, and a look of confusion and confusion suddenly appeared in his eyes, and after hesitating for a moment, he cautiously asked softly: "Are you Mr. Chen Ping?"
Chen Ping chuckled and nodded, and before he could speak, the middle-aged man on the other side had already asked softly with some uncertainty again: "You are a shareholder of Baidu Company, the chairman of Guangyu Technology Company, Mr. Chen Ping Chen?"
Chen Pingping suddenly laughed a little at the other party's two inquiries, and then nodded solemnly, and said with a smile: "That's right, it's me." ”
After receiving Chen Ping's affirmative reply twice, the middle-aged man opposite immediately gasped, and his gaze at Chen Ping became a little strange.
Mr. Li asked himself to pick up this Mr. Chen, but he never revealed his personal information about Mr. Chen.
He really couldn't imagine that such a young guy would be one of the shareholders of Baidu, and even the chairman of Guangyu Technology.
You must know that although Guangyu Technology Company is far inferior to Baidu, it can definitely be regarded as a rising star in the domestic Internet industry.
The energy that Chen Ping possesses is by no means imaginable by ordinary people.
The first time I saw Chen Ping, I didn't know anything about Chen Ping beforehand, this middle-aged man was really a little unbelievable, Chen Ping's age could do so many appalling things.
After a moment of gaffe, the middle-aged man finally came back to his senses, and then bowed respectfully to Chen Ping, behaved extremely gentlemanly, and said softly: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Li asked me to pick you up from the hotel, in the afternoon, Mr. Li will take time to meet you, and please Mr. Chen Please go with me to rest first." ”
Chen Ping smiled and nodded, and did not blame the other party for questioning his identity twice, after all, Chen Ping also knew very well that in the eyes of people who were not familiar with him, his age was really unbelievable.
This is not the first time he has encountered this kind of situation, and it can be regarded as human nature.
So Chen Ping didn't blame the other party at all.
After coming to the hotel, Chen Ping also lay directly on the bed, with a tired look on his face.
The flight of more than ten hours made Chen Ping full of exhaustion, even with his physique, he couldn't wait to sleep well.
However, when he first came to the United States, Chen Ping still had some uncontrollable excitement in his heart.
Although he couldn't tell where the excitement in his heart came from, he couldn't sleep for some reason.
After lying on the bed for a while, Chen Ping also sat up directly, a look of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and after sitting quietly on the bed in a daze for a long time, Chen Ping sighed softly.
Then, Chen Ping sat on the bed and took out his mobile phone and pressed out a group of numbers, but after pressing this group of numbers, Chen Ping's fingers suddenly froze, as if he was a little hesitant, should he dial this number?
After a long time, Chen Ping suddenly smiled bitterly, and a look of pain appeared in his eyes, but this look of pain also disappeared in a flash.
After a while, Chen Ping finally made up his mind and dialed the number.
After the phone rang a few times, it was connected, and on the other end of the phone, a somewhat confused voice came: "Hey, who is it?"
Chen Ping hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "I'm Chen Ping." ”
It was just a short 4 words, but the two people on both ends of the phone fell silent in an instant.
After a long time, there was a trembling voice on the other end of the phone: "Have you changed your phone number?"
Hearing the other party's voice, Chen Ping could hear it at once, the other party seemed to be trying his best to suppress his fluctuating mood, although the tone of his voice was a little casual, but in fact, the slight trembling meaning in the words was heard by Chen Ping at once.
Chen Ping also smiled bitterly in his heart, but after all, his heart was calmer than the other party, and he quickly returned to normal, and said in a smooth and soft voice: "No, it's just that after coming to the United States, I temporarily used this number." ”
Hearing Chen Ping's words, a bit of surprise suddenly appeared in the voice of the person opposite: "You came to the United States?"
Chen Ping nodded slightly, a blank look flashed in his eyes, but then he reacted, he was not talking to the other party face to face, and the other party couldn't see his nodding at all.
Chen Ping also smiled bitterly in his heart, and then hurriedly said softly: "I came to the United States to deal with some affairs and participate in a ceremony, and I just thought that you should also be here in the United States, so I will give you a call, how are you recently?"
In the face of Chen Ping's question, the person opposite didn't seem to hear it at all, but hurriedly whispered, "Where are you now?"
Chen Ping was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied softly: "I just got off the plane now, and I'm still resting in the hotel......
As soon as Chen Ping's words fell, the other party had already hurriedly asked again: "Which city, which hotel?"
Chen Ping was a little stunned for a moment, but this time, he didn't answer the other party's question directly, but after smiling bitterly, he said softly: "You don't want to come to me, do you?" I'm in New York now, I remember that you're not here......
As soon as Chen Ping's words fell, before he could continue, the person opposite hurriedly said, "I'll go over now." ”
After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone without hesitation.
Listening to the busy sound on the phone, Chen Ping's eyes suddenly appeared a dazed look, and then he looked at the phone in his hand with a smile, not knowing what to do.
In fact, Chen Ping called the other party, even Chen Ping himself didn't know why, and even in Chen Ping's heart, it seemed that he just wanted to listen to the other party's voice.
However, Chen Ping did not expect that after knowing that he had come to the United States, the other party would not hesitate to go to New York to meet him.
You must know that in Chen Ping's impression, the place where the other party went to university abroad is not in New York, and it is at least a few hundred kilometers away from New York.
But the other party didn't seem to have taken this into account at all, but bluntly expressed his willingness to come over in person.
Chen Ping wanted to make a phone call back and ask the other party not to toss so much, but in the end, Chen Ping still didn't make the effort to dial the phone, just sat on the bed and quietly started to stay.
In the afternoon, Li Changhong rushed to the hotel and hurriedly met with Chen Ping.
However, in the past few days, Baidu needs to prepare for the stock listing, and Li Changhong, the chairman, is even more busy, and he doesn't have much time to entertain Chen Ping, but he just ordered his subordinates to receive Chen Ping well.
On June 25, the day of Baidu's stock listing, Chen Ping was invited to the ceremony and participated in the stock listing ceremony with Baidu's shareholders.
After greeting for a while, Li Changhong confessed and left here in a hurry.
Chen Ping also understood this, after all, a large company like Baidu, whose stock is about to be listed, and many aspects of affairs are extremely complicated, and Li Changhong can find time to meet him, which is already very face-saving.
Chen Ping naturally didn't want to keep the other party much.
After Li Changhong left, Chen Ping completely rose to the waist, returned to his room, and fell headlong on the bed.
After a few hours of groggy sleep, Chen Ping woke up again and was woken up by the ringing of the phone.
In a daze, I didn't see the caller ID on my mobile phone clearly, but subconsciously connected the phone.
But before he could say anything, a crisp voice had already reached his ears: "I'm downstairs in your hotel now, do you have time to come down and meet me?"
Hearing this voice, Chen Ping, who was still asleep, woke up in an instant in his half-asleep state.
His eyes widened suddenly, and he sat up from the bed suddenly, and then asked softly in disbelief, "What did you just say?"
"I said I'm downstairs in your hotel, can you come down and see me?"
The other party's words even had a hint of pleading.
Hearing the pleading meaning in the other party's words, Chen Ping's heart trembled violently, faintly tingling a little, and then said softly without hesitation: "I'll go down now, you wait for me." ”
After finishing speaking, Chen Ping also hung up the phone directly, jumped out of bed, and didn't even have time to change clothes, so he hurried downstairs.
But as soon as he closed his door, a blank look instantly appeared in Chen Ping's eyes.
Then, a somewhat wry smile appeared on Chen Ping's face, and his originally hurried pace slowed down.
At this moment, he even had a little fear in his heart.
Because what he will face next may be the only person he feels a little indebted to in his heart after he is reborn.
Even Chen Ping, who has already experienced strong winds and waves, will inevitably fluctuate a little in his heart at this moment.
But after hesitating for a moment, a determined look also appeared in Chen Ping's eyes.
He has never been an indecisive person, even in the face of this situation, Chen Ping can still quickly calm down.
After confirming his intentions, Chen Ping walked quickly downstairs.
A moment later, when Chen Ping saw the delicate figure waiting at the door of the hotel downstairs, Chen Ping's heart also trembled slightly.
This figure has not been seen for a long time, and it seems that it has been close to a year.
But in this short period of one year, it seems to be a lifetime away.
The figure that was originally extremely familiar in his memory seemed to have become a little blurry in Chen Ping's eyes at this moment.
The originally firm footsteps also became a little hesitant at this moment, and gradually slowed down.
However, although Chen Ping's footsteps slowed down, after the other party saw Chen Ping's figure, a look of surprise instantly erupted in his eyes, and then he trotted all the way over without hesitation until he came to Chen Ping's face.
The other party seemed to want to fall into Chen Ping's arms, but Chen Ping didn't know what he thought, and subconsciously took a small step back.
It was this small step that instantly opened the distance between the two sides, and the other party seemed to realize something, and the pace under his feet slammed.
The figure that was originally rushing towards Chen Ping's side stopped all of a sudden, this time the action was too abrupt, and the other party almost fell to the ground, but he quickly adjusted his body.
And at that moment just now, Chen Ping wanted to reach out to support the other party, but his hand was halfway out, but he froze in mid-air.
