263 Departure
I didn't think that Elena said that Stephenson was actually in Fairbanks, ready to go to Point Barrow to deal with some things, Zeng Gong could only complain about this, as for how true what Mr. Stephenson said remains to be verified, but it is good to be accompanied, especially the head snake.
"Thomas, Uncle Ghent, I'm sorry, my friend just told me I could take the Phillips Petroleum Company plane to Point Barrow, and I need to pack my things quickly. Zeng Gong and the two middle-aged uncles had a good conversation, and they were a little reluctant to leave now.
Seeing Thomas's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Zeng Gong said unconsciously funny: "Uncle Thomas, you can catch fish fry with confidence, there is no time limit, and when the time comes, you notify me, and there will be someone to receive it." ”
Zeng Gong's assurance made Thomas a little embarrassed, and Gent said in a round next to him: "Zeng, don't mind, Thomas's daughter will get married in the summer, and he is solely responsible for organizing the wedding, and this year's catch is not very good, and he is under a lot of pressure." ”
Zeng Gong nodded understandingly, he knew the customs in North America, whether his daughter was engaged or married, his parents needed to prepare, and with the urine sex of Americans, thinking about it with his toes, he also knew that they would not prepare this large amount of money in advance, but temporarily crammed, if there was an accident, it would be conceivable.
"Do you want to increase the amount of the deposit?" Zeng Gong asked with concern, this matter was just a gesture for him, and it was a relief for Thomas.
Unexpectedly, Thomas shook his head stubbornly, in his opinion, the deposit provided by Zeng Gong was already very generous, enough for him to hire enough helpers to complete the work of catching fish fry. The big deal is to mortgage the newly bought fishing boat, Thomas secretly gritted his teeth. The most important thing is that he doesn't want Zeng Gong to feel that he has no strength.
Zeng Gong didn't say anything when he saw Thomas like this, after all, the two of them met in Pingshui. It also takes time to precipitate in a deep friendship, which is not something that can be done by two people who meet for the first time and have a good feeling for each other, not to mention that it involves the relationship of interests, and in the eyes of Americans, it is more necessary to distinguish between public and private
"Is that Mr. Zeng?"
Zeng Gong had just finished saying goodbye to the two of them, when a tall black young man pushed the door into Uncle Ghent's hotel, bared his white teeth at Zeng Gong, and asked kindly.
"Stephenson?" Zeng Gong looked at the tall young man in front of him suspiciously, because he didn't know more about Stephenson before.
"Hello Mr. Zeng, I am Elena's classmate. Stephenson immediately extended his hand in a friendly manner.
"Hello Stephenson. You can call me Zeng, Adolphus and James call me that. Zeng Gong held Stephenson tightly together, and he had a certain affection for Elena's classmates.
"Zeng, have you packed your luggage, the plane is already waiting at the airport, should we leave now?" said Stephenson with a smile, looking at the luggage on the side of the counter.
"Of course, you can go at any time. Zeng Gong followed Stephenson's gaze. The smile on his face is even stronger, nice man.
"Goodbye, Uncle Thomas, Uncle Ghent, there's a chance I'll be back to Fairbanks. It's a beautiful place. Zeng Gong and Stephenson picked up their luggage and said goodbye to the two old guys again.
Thomas and Gent smiled, Fairbanks wasn't a good place for anyone else. Near the North Pole, the alternation of polar day and polar night weather has brought a lot of trouble to life. And the weather is extremely cold and bad, but so what? This is where they have lived all their lives.
"Zeng, be careful on the road, next time I will treat you to the most delicious burbot. Thomas patted Zeng Gong's shoulder with some sensationalism and said.
"I don't have the best vodka, but I have the means to get it. Ghent looked at the black clay wine bottle beside him, and stopped talking.
"I'm looking forward to it. Zeng Gong shook his hand and was about to get into the car with Stephenson, when suddenly Thomas stopped him.
"What's the matter, Uncle Thomas, I don't have much flame in stock, and I can give you a few more bottles when you get the fry. Zeng Gong thought that Thomas still wanted to flame, and said with some embarrassment, adding a little disgust to this old man out of thin air.
"No, you waited here first. Thomas jumped into his car, a 90's F150 with great power that disappeared from everyone's sight.
Gent obviously knew Thomas's temperament, and said with some embarrassment: "Zeng, don't mind, Thomas's temperament is like this, he should have suddenly thought of something, he should be back in a while, he lives not far from me." ”
Zeng Gong shook his head, the two of them were as straightforward as the cowboys on the ranch, and they were very easy to get along with, how could he care about waiting for a few minutes.
"Stephenson, can we wait?" However, Zeng Gong still won Stephenson's opinion, after all, he had to take someone else's plane.
Stephenson didn't speak, he just picked up the phone and contacted the airport, and then said lightly: "The airport can delay the take-off by an hour." ”
Delayed by an hour? Zeng Gong looked at Stephenson again, delaying the flight is not a trivial matter, although the plane is a special plane of the Phillips Oil Company, but it still needs to obey the dispatch of the airport, which can change the flight time at will Obviously, Stephenson's energy is not small.
"Thank you, Stephenson. Zeng Gong said with some emotion that his relationship with others was just maintained because of Elena, and there was no friendship, but they were very good and considerate.
A trace of unnaturalness flew over Stephenson's face, but he had to accept Zeng Gong's thanks, this kind of delayed flight thing could not be controlled by a small staff member, Elena is one of the shareholders of Phillips Oil Company, and has the right to do so, he is just the executor.
"Hehe, it doesn't matter, the plane is the company's special plane, and delayed flights are normal, after all, there will always be emergencies, isn't it?" Stephenson said to himself with a humble heart, and secretly looked around, and found that the expressions of the two had not changed so that he was relieved.
Stephenson didn't be embarrassed for too long, Thomas's old pickup appeared in everyone's sight, and before the car stopped, Thomas jumped out directly, panting, and saw that Zeng Gong was still relieved.
"Zeng, this is for you. Thomas pulled a flower pot out of the carriage and shoved it directly into his hand.
Involuntarily took the flower pot, Zeng Gong suddenly jumped. (To be continued.) )
