Chapter 927: Investigation

Although peanuts were used instead of chips, the interest of both of them was relatively high, and they still played very energetically.

Both of them already knew that the other party was also going to Las Vegas, so when they played at 21 o'clock, they checked the flight number, and after confirming that the two were on the same flight, they naturally agreed to leave together and go to check in together. In this way, the two don't have to worry about their opponents leaving halfway, and the fun is a little higher.

With things to do, time flies. Before you know it, you lose time waiting for the plane, and it's time to board the plane.

This café is located in the airport, and its customers are mainly passengers waiting for their flights. In order to facilitate customers and avoid customers in the café from missing their flights, a large screen is hung on the wall of the café, which simultaneously scrolls to display the boarding time and arrival time of each flight in the airport.

"It's time to board the plane!" The display screen in the café was facing Xiao Yao's direction, Xiao Yao found the prompt on the display, so he packed up the poker and waved the waiter to pay.

When Nicky Thompson sat down to ask for coffee and the waiter to deliver coffee just now, the sunglasses on his face had not been taken off, and when the waiter brought the peanuts called by Xiao Yao, although Nicky Thompson took off his glasses, he deliberately supported his forehead with his hand, turned his head sideways, and added her loose hair, which basically covered her face. At this time, seeing Xiao Yao calling for payment, Nicky Thompson picked up the sunglasses on the table and put them back on.

Xiao Yao had already confirmed the identity of the other party, and naturally understood the reason for the other party's actions, so he just smiled and did not speak.

"Sir, you are a cup of coffee and a plate of peanuts, and this lady is a cup of coffee, do you pay for them separately, or do you buy them together?" asked the waiter with a clip.

The waiter knew that the two were not coming together, but he also saw the two chatting and playing poker together, and he was not sure about the relationship between the two, so he took the list of the two together.

"I'll do it, two together!" said Nicky Thompson, who had sunglasses on, pulled out a credit card and handed it over.

The waiter looked at Xiao Yao, and was a little surprised to find that Xiao Yao didn't say anything, so he took the credit card and said, "Please wait!"

"Thank you!" Xiao Yao said to Nicky Thompson.

"You're welcome. Nicky Thompson turned his head to look at the waiter who went to the bar to swipe his card, and then turned back to Xiao Yao and said, "But I guess the waiter must have said in his heart just now, this man is really not a gentleman!"

"But I don't think it's a gentleman to refuse a lady's kindness!" Xiao Yao said.

"Hah!" laughed Nicky Thompson, "that's a good reason!"

"Isn't it?" Xiao Yao said, "When you just sat down, I was divining, and you were watching me divination." We're all waiting for the plane, but you're more bored than I am in terms of boredom. We just played 21 o'clock, in fact, I was helping you pass this boring waiting time, and you think you should thank me. Paying for me is the equivalent of asking me for coffee, which is a great way to do it. ”

"Well," Xiao Yao nodded, and added, "I think so too!"

"You~" Nicky Thompson looked at Xiao Yao in surprise.

"Ma'am, your credit card!" the waiter handed back Nicky Thompson's card.

"Let's go, it's time to check in. Xiao Yao got up and took his luggage.

Nicky Thompson put away his surprised expression and got up to pick up his luggage.

Self-service check-in machines are now available at almost all airports where boarding passes can be issued. Xiao Yao and Nicky Thompson didn't want to be recognized, so they naturally wanted to reduce contact with people, so they naturally chose to go to the self-service check-in machine to get their boarding passes.

Both have a large suitcase that needs to be checked in. The self-service check-in at most airports in China can only handle boarding passes and cannot handle baggage check-in, but the self-service check-in at many airports in the United States can also be handled by self-service baggage, so there is no problem in this regard.

After getting your boarding pass and checked in your baggage, the next step is to go through security.

The two went through the formalities together, and naturally they also queued up to go to the security check together.

"Xiao, you go in first!" When the security check was about to arrive, Nicky Thompson suddenly pulled Xiao Yao and whispered, "I'm going to the bathroom!"

At the security check, passengers will definitely need to take off their sunglasses. Airport security screeners are a profession that has seen more celebrities, although they generally do not make any moves to chase stars because of their work, but it will inevitably be shown in words, and her identity may be discovered by Xiao Yao on the side.

"I'll wait for you?" Xiao Yao knew that she was afraid of being exposed, so she said deliberately.

"No, no!" said Nicky Thompson, "you wait for me, you'll have to line up again." You go in first, find a place to sit and rest, and I'll go back to you when I'm in!

"Okay!" Xiao Yao didn't feel embarrassed for her, gave her the phone number, and then watched her run in the direction of the bathroom.

Xiao Yao is also a star, and he is also quite well-known in the United States.

However, the last time Xiao Yao made a public appearance in the United States was at the beginning of last year, when he was in the Celebrity Race and promoting a parkour movie, he had not been in the American news media for more than a year, and there was no heat at present. Although many of Xiao Yao's deeds are widely circulated in the United States, he is a Chinese after all. Americans may be familiar with his name and his deeds, but their familiarity with his physiognomy is limited. More than a year later, the chances of him being recognized privately in the United States are still relatively low.

Nicky Thompson didn't recognize Xiao Yao, and neither did the airport security inspectors, who passed through security very quickly and normally.

It's still some time before boarding, but it's not too long. There are seats for passengers to rest near the boarding gate, and after Xiao Yao passed the security check, he didn't look for a café again, but sat down on the seat at the boarding gate of the flight.

After Nicky Thompson passed the security check, she also went directly to the boarding gate of the flight she was taking, so she didn't call Xiao Yao, and she successfully met Xiao Yao near the boarding gate.

There are a lot of people near the boarding gate, so naturally the two of them will no longer play at 21 o'clock in this kind of place, so they just sit in their seats and chat quietly.

"Xiao, you speak English so well!" Nicky Thompson suddenly said to Xiao Yao, "Are all Chinese people so good at English?"

"Of course, not everyone is so good, but there are a lot of people in China who can speak English now. Xiao Yao said, "I speak English well because I have been to the United States a lot and have been to Europe!"

"You come to America a lot," Nicky Thompson said, "because of work? But I remember you said you were all working in China!"

"I'm talking about basically, occasionally coming to the U.S. to work. Xiao Yao said, "But it's more about traveling to the United States! You know, no matter what you do, you need to increase your knowledge, so I like to run around." ”

"Really, where have you been?" asked Nicky Thompson.

"America, I've been to New York, Los Angeles, Boston. Xiao Yao said, "Europe has been to Paris in France, Clermont Ferrand, Munich in Germany, London in England, Salzburg in Austria, Africa..."

"Really?" Nicky Thompson looked incredibly skeptical, "a photographer?"

"I'm a very successful photographer!" Xiao Yao said.

"How old are you?" asked Nicky Thompson.

"Twenty-four!" Xiao Yao replied.

"How successful can a twenty-four-year-old photographer be?" said Nicky Thompson, "and even if you were successful, how could you have traveled so many places at such a young age?

"My parents are very rich," Xiao Yao said, "every year on vacation, I can travel abroad!"

"Well, tell me what you've been to and what you've seen?" asked Nicky Thompson.

Xiao Yao picked out some of the things he had seen abroad and told Nicky Thompson. Of course, what Xiao Yao said was mainly what he had seen and heard, and basically did not involve himself, so he did not reveal his identity.

As a world-class superstar, Nicky Thompson has also been to many cities and places in the world, and soon believed that Xiao Yao had indeed been to many places. However, Nicky Thompson went to those places basically for concerts or performances and other work reasons, and his experience and experience were very different from what Xiao Yao said, so even if Nicky Thompson believed Xiao Yao, he listened to it with relish.

Xiao Yao has been to many places, and he has seen and heard a lot, but the speed of narration is not fast. Before Xiao Yao finished speaking, a staff member appeared at the boarding gate to inform the passengers to board the plane, and Xiao Yao stopped at the opportunity.

"Shaw, what class of ticket are you?" asked Nicky Thompson.

Nicky Thompson bought a first-class ticket, and because she was first-class, she was embarrassed to ask Xiao Yao's cabin when she got her boarding pass at the self-service check-in just now. Although Xiao Yao said in the café that she was not poor, she thought that Xiao Yao was an ordinary person, and the probability of buying a first-class cabin was relatively low, so she was afraid that she would be embarrassed to ask Xiao Yao.

On many airlines, first class passengers board earlier than passengers in other classes. Now that he is about to board the plane, Nicky Thompson feels that it is normal to ask, even if the other party is not first class, it should not be embarrassing, and I heard Xiao Yao say that he has been to so many places just now, Nicky Thompson should have a good chance of buying first class.

"Business class!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "The security check is my first, and you will go first when boarding." ”

"Oh," Nicky Thompson said, a little disappointed, "if there's a seat available in first class, I'll upgrade you!"

"No need," Xiao Yao said, "you helped me pay the bill for the coffee, and you already thanked me." And I only accept that you invite me to coffee, the cost of upgrading is too big, I don't accept it!"

"No," said Nicky Thompson, "I just found it a pleasure to talk to you, and I wanted to hear you tell us more about your experiences abroad." ”

"Then why don't you downgrade?" Xiao Yao said, "Come to business class?"

"Downgrade?" Nicky Thompson was stunned for a moment.

"Just kidding!" Xiao Yao pointed to the boarding gate, "The first class is almost over, you should board the plane." ”

Downgrading is not a non-existent thing, but it generally occurs when the flight is overbooked, and the airline asks the passenger of the higher class to change to the lower class of service and refund a certain difference, and few passengers take the initiative to request a downgrade on the plane.

Nicky Thompson saw that there was really no one in the passenger tunnel in the first class, so he picked up his bag and took his boarding pass to board the plane.

Nicky Thompson got on the plane, settled his carry-on luggage with the help of the flight attendant, sat down in his seat, and immediately pulled out his mobile phone. But after thinking about it, she put the phone down again.

First class is generally at the front of the aircraft, while business class and economy class are in the middle and aft, and passengers in the last two classes will pass by when boarding. Nicky Thompson sat for a while before he saw Xiao Yao board the plane and go to the back of his seat.

Nicky Thompson waved hello to Xiao Yao, and watched Xiao Yao pass through the first class cabin and walk to the business class in the middle of the back, before turning around, picking up his mobile phone and dialing a call.

"Matt, please help me find someone. After the phone was connected, Nicky Thompson said to the other end of the phone, "A photographer, a Chinese person, his name is YaoXiao, probably this pronunciation, you can help me check whether there is such a Chinese photographer, what works are there, and what is the level." In addition, if you can find some other information about him, check it for me too, the more the better!"

"Why? I met an interesting guy at Boston Airport, and that's what he told me, and I wanted to know if what he said was true and what kind of person he was. ”

"yes, it's a man, no, I just think he's funny. You know, the backstage of the awards ceremony is to take promotional photos, and if his photography skills are really good, I wonder if it's possible to talk to the organizers and ask him to come and take pictures for me, and it just so happens that he also went to LV, and he should stay at LV for a while. Don't worry, if I were to ask him to take a picture, I would definitely let him meet you first!"

"Okay, I see, wait for your news!"

Nicky Thompson hung up the phone, and couldn't help but recall the contact with Xiao Yao during this time, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked.

After a while, Nicky Thompson saw that there were no more passengers at the front hatch, presumably that the passengers were almost all boarding, and the flight attendant was basically idle, reaching out and pressing the call button above the seat.

"How can I help you?" soon a flight attendant approached, first reached out and pressed the light on the call button, then bent down and asked.

"I'd like to ask, are there any seats available in first class?" asked Nicky Thompson.

She found that there were still seats next to the first class cabin, but after all, there was no door yet, and she was not sure if the seats next to her were not sold or if the people had not yet arrived.

"Yes!" The flight attendant was supposed to be a first-class attendant, and seemed to be familiar with the situation in first-class cabin.

"Have you asked anyone in the back who needs an upgrade?" asked Nicky Thompson again.

"No!" the flight attendant shook his head, "Do you have a companion in another cabin behind you and need to be upgraded?"

"Forget it, no need. Nicky Thompson thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "If you need an upgrade, he'll look for you, I'll just ask." ”

"Okay!" the flight attendant nodded.

After the flight attendant left, he thought about it for a while, but ran to the back, found the flight attendant in charge of the back two cabins, and asked them to announce that there were seats in the first class in the aisle of the last two cabins, and asked if there were any passengers who needed to be upgraded. However, to the surprise of the first-class flight attendant, no passengers from behind were promoted to the front first-class cabin until it was time to take off.
