Chapter 157 boarding
In the terminal building of the Capital International Airport, a director of the Ministry of Education is making a "report": "Students, you are honored to become a foreign student on public assignment to the United States, and you are about to set foot on the other side of the ocean......
Jing Jian stood at the back of this group of more than 20 international students, unintentionally talking nonsense. Airfares, passports, and enrollment certificates have been distributed, and the precautions for studying abroad and the route map for connecting flights have long been stuffed into your pockets. Looking left and right, doing nothing, just waiting for the end of this "report".
"I'm sorry, sir, where is the airport post office? Suddenly, a middle-aged foreigner came to ask for directions in English.
It turned out to be a philatelic enthusiast. Jing Jian pointed the way for him: "Please go that way, go down the stairs, and see ......" Pointing to the road, Jing Jian suddenly had an idea, "I have more time, so I'll send you over!"
"Thank you so much. ”
"You're welcome!"
After saying hello to a male classmate wearing glasses next to him, Jing Jian sent the foreigner to the post office. By the way, I smoked a cigarette to breathe, and felt that the "report" should have ended, so I slowly returned to my original position.
Sure enough, he had already started queuing up to board the plane, but unexpectedly, the male classmate was still very enthusiastic waiting for him: "Classmate, your English is very good? Meet me, I am from Huaqing, my name is Wang Chengwen, and I used to be in the fourth grade." I know that you are also from Huaqing, and you are also going to the University of California in Los Angeles, how about we get together?"
"Oh, fortunately. Jing Jian didn't agree, and he didn't agree. It's an airplane, and you can't do it without a team. Even if it is a university in the future, there will never be too many contacts. Besides, it came out of that broken garden? There are so many pimples on the face? It's not pleasing to the eye.
And Wang Chengwen didn't feel Jing Jian's coldness at all: "Then let's go and line up." Let me tell you, we Huaqing can have preferential treatment in the United States, and we can reduce the credits of basic courses with Huaqing's transcripts. Other universities don't have that kind of good thing, they have to start from scratch, what a waste of time?"
Jing Jian followed behind Wang Chengwen, pouting boredly. What is so glorious about this? Can it still be flaunted? It is nothing more than that Huaqing was founded with a part of the Gengzi indemnity returned by the United States, and it was first established as a preparatory school for studying in the United States. That's a national shame! Even if it's a little cheap now, Na shouldn't be jubilant in public, right?
Wang Chengwen seemed to be a chatterbox: "We are lucky this time, Air China's flight just didn't happen, it was an American Airlines plane, I heard that it was a foreign waiter, hehe, that's a foreigner to serve us Chinese......"
"Huh......" Jing Jian's eyes lit up, and he immediately showed a warm smile, "Classmate Wang Chengwen, you line up first, my stomach hurts, leave for a while." ”
"Eh, then I'll take care of your luggage. Huh, why do you just have a backpack and luggage?"
"Hehe, that's it. You don't have to worry about it. You get your boarding pass first. Jing Jian secretly thought that as long as there is money, what can't the United States buy? If you don't have to pay attention to politeness in public, take a plane ticket, wear slippers and vests, and fly as well.
"Then how are we going to sit together?
"I'll look for you. You line up first!
“......”
Finally getting rid of this pimple talker, Jing Jian hid in the toilet, watching the long line on the plane getting shorter and shorter. When all his international students entered the waiting hall, Jing Jian whistled, slowly walked to the boarding gate, patted his ticket to the service desk, and asked in English: "I'm sorry, miss, can I upgrade?"
Due to the regulations of all official assignment countries, you can only take Chinese air flights such as Air China, and you are not allowed to take foreign airlines unless there are no flights. And this time, it was good luck. Since you are flying American Airlines, why do you have to squeeze economy class to "suffer"?
Unexpectedly, the Chinese waiter of American Airlines at the service desk was stunned and asked in Chinese: "Classmate, aren't you going to study abroad?"
Jing Jian was very unhappy, and the service attitude of American Airlines was a mess: "So, American Airlines has no rules for upgrades?"
A foreign stewardess at the service desk noticed the situation here, hurriedly came over, and smiled: "I'm sorry, sir, can I help me?"
Jing Jian simply repeated: "Upgrade! First Class!"
"Happy to serve you. ”
"Do you accept cash checks? ”
"No problem. Please wait a few minutes and I'll take care of it for you. My name is Daisy, and I'm in first class. I'll take your luggage to me and I'll take you on board. ”
Looking at this Latino tall beauty, Jing Jian smiled, this is right, if you don't worship rich people, what is the United States?
Under the envious gaze of the Chinese waiter, Jing Jian signed his name on a large cash check with a fixed amount, and found that there were more than 100 US dollars, so he handed it to Daisy and winked with a smile: "The extra is your tip." ”
That Daisy's professional smile immediately turned into a real smile, and her winkling eyes flickered, and she quickly checked in for Jing Jian, and took the big backpack: "Thank you very much, sir, please come with me." ”
......
In the ordinary waiting hall, Wang Chengwen and a group of passengers lay in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the take-off, landing and taxiing of planes, and couldn't help but let out bursts of admiration. Wang Chengwen looked left and right, a little surprised, he didn't find Jing Jian, but soon, he was attracted by a plane taxiing on the runway......
Sitting in the dedicated first-class waiting room, drinking coffee, and chatting happily with another first-class old Westerner. The old man took out his cigar, and the two of them soared through the clouds. When they talked about happiness, they let out bursts of knowing laughter. And not far away, a sweet stewardess stood on the side......
Finally, the announcement sounded, and a long queue formed in the ordinary hall. Two foreign flight attendants were found to have appeared, and many people wanted to see but were afraid to look, dodging. And Wang Chengwen talked to the one behind him: "Classmate, my name is Wang Chengwen, Huaqing." ”
"Gu Jiahui, National People's Congress. "The male classmate was a little reserved.
"How is your English?"
"It's okay!"
In the first-class cabin, two stewardesses had already come to their side, carrying the luggage for Jing Jian and the old man, escorting them into the first-class passage.
"Bramble, it was a pleasure to talk to you, and if you come to New York, you can come to me. But don't go to where I work, it's not a good place to go. And...... Smoking is bad for your health! ”
"Billy, I don't really like hospitals, especially with bad old men like you. If the nurses inside were like these flight attendants, it would be bearable. ”
"Don't worry, they'll be holding the syringe. ”
"Hahaha——!"
