Chapter 216: Spring is coming, it's time to get busy
Brad is an expert in the ocean, and Link asked him to help him design something that would be easy to install and recycle, and would make the most of the artificial reef.
Then he called Martha and asked her to help him find a producer to make artificial reefs. The so-called artificial reef can be in many modes. For example, some cement racks. He planned to make some rectangular cement racks, flat below, with some pillars on top.
Finally he said, "Help me make a plan." I plan to install some wind turbines in Ozette. You need to apply to the Washington government. ”
He stayed in Ozette and took Hannah around the wine-growing regions. He looked around and didn't see anything wrong. That's when he was going to leave.
But he was hesitant to return to Nevada or go to California. Jessica will return to the U.S. from Australia today.
He asked Hannah, who didn't know what to whisper to the bunny doll, "Hannah, do you think we're going to go home or go to Jessica?"
Hannah looked up at him, confused, as if she hadn't heard what he was saying.
He asked again. She understood. She shouted, "Click!"
Link rubbed her head and said, "Okay, let's go find Kaka!" It seems that Jessica and this little girl are very compatible. He also believes that Jessica is genuinely good to Hannah. Children are usually very sensitive, and Hannah is even more intelligent, she can tell whether others are genuinely good to her or false.
So he prepared and flew to San Francisco just after noon.
After booking a room at the Sheraton Hotel in San Francisco, he took Hannah to the airport in the car provided by the hotel.
He asked Jessica at the airport about the international flight passengers coming out of that exit, and he hugged Hannah over to him.
Hannah hears Link say that Jessica will be coming out soon.
So she saw a traveler coming out, and when she didn't find Jessica, she asked, "Daddy, where's Kaka?"
Link explained to her, "Jessica's plane will arrive in half an hour." ”
But Hannah knew the concept of time. Every time she sees a traveler coming out, she still asks.
Link also took the trouble to follow the time: "Jessica's plane is twenty-three minutes away. "Fifteen minutes left!" "Soon, eight minutes." ”
He believed that with a few more words, Hannah would understand the length of time.
Finally, Link sees Jessica dragging a small suitcase out of the passageway.
Hannah seemed to see it before he did, and she waved to the passage with her butt on Link's arm, shouting, "Click, click! Hannah is here,"
Jessica heard her familiar screams, and she paused to see the father and daughter waiting for her at the passenger exit. A sweet smile tugged at the corners of her lips as she trotted over them.
She threw herself on Link and kissed him for a while, "Why are you here?"
"Surprise!" Hannah said, pouting.
Jessica smiled and hugged her, then kissed her on the mouth: "Hannah came to pick me up, very surprised!"
"Hannah is happy!" the little thing put his arms around Jessica's neck and smacked heavily on her face.
Link watched them interact and smiled and said, "Let's go pick up our luggage first." "Of course, Jessica can't go to Australia with just such a little luggage.
He reached for the little suitcase, then reached for Hannah. Jessica dodged: "Don't rob Hannah with me." She's been with you for so long, and she's mine today. Hannah likes to click, too, doesn't she?" she said, biting the little one's cheek lightly.
Hannah only felt an itch on her face, and she giggled and said, "I like it!"
Seeing her like this, Link had no choice but to say, "She's quite heavy now, so take her with you when you're tired." "Hannah is less than two years old, but she can walk steadily.
Jessica laughed and said, "I will." ”
They went to wait for the checked luggage. Link said, "We'll go to Sacramento tomorrow, okay? ”
Jessica had planned to go home today. But you don't have to rush back.
They got their luggage and drove to the hotel where Link had booked a room.
Link got out of the car and carried his luggage, and the hotel waiter helped carry the luggage onto a cart and followed them to the guest room. This time, Link still booked the presidential suite.
On the way to the room, he suddenly heard someone call him: "Link?" The person who called him was in Chinese.
Link turned his head and saw that it was Fan Zhongkun. He turned around, walked over to the other party with a smile, and said, "Mr. Fan." I didn't expect to see you here. Are you here to visit a friend?"
Fan Zhongkun heard him say that Chinese was much more fluent than the last time they met, so he smiled and said in Chinese: "Yes." I have a friend from DC D.C. who lives on this floor. When did you get to San Francisco?"
"Shortly after arriving. I'm here to pick up my girlfriend. ”
That's when Jessica came over with Hannah in her arms. Link introduced her and said, "Jessica, this is Zhongkun Fan from Fan's Chinese Restaurant, and this is my girlfriend, Jessica Benis. This time, of course, he was in English.
"Hello, Miss Benis! Nice to meet you. ”
"Hello, Mr. Fan. I'm glad to meet you too. I've often heard Link talk about you, and your Fan's restaurant. He said that that was the most similar to the Chinese food he had eaten in China. ”
When Fan Zhongkun heard her say this, he smiled and said, "It is an honor for our restaurant to be able to satisfy the guests." We did try to accommodate American tastes while preserving the characteristics of Chinese cuisine as much as possible. ”
He saw that Link and the others seemed to have just moved in, and said, "I won't bother you." Link, will you still be in San Francisco tomorrow?"
Link thought for a moment and said, "Maybe we'll leave tomorrow." ”
Fan Zhongkun said: "That's a pity. I would also like to introduce my friends to you. It seems that it can only be said next time I have the opportunity. ”
After Fan Zhongkun said goodbye, Link and the others also went to the room. Link gave the waiter who helped them bring their luggage up for $100. The waiter left in surprise and closed the door by the way.
This Presidential Suite is more than any other hotel Link has stayed in before. However, the interior decoration is not bad at all. And it's more homely.
However, the size of the presidential suite is small, which is also normal. Downtown San Francisco, confined to a narrow peninsula, is one of the most expensive cities in the United States.
Jessica went to take a shower and came out, so she sat down directly next to Link and nestled in his arms, sighing, "It's good to have you around!"
"Then let's get married!" Link blurted out!
Jessica looked up in his arms, rolled his lovely eyes, and said, "You're going to propose just like that? You don't even have a ring, and I'm disheveled?"
Link immediately said, "That's easy, you'll get dressed in the room, I'll go out for a while, and I'll be back right away." He was about to stand up.
Jessica grabbed him by the waist and said, "No." Not this time!"
Link pondered for a moment and said, "Okay!
Jessica could hear the frustration in his words. She raised her head and put her hand in his face, looked at each other, and said, "Didn't we say it last time? I don't plan to get married until I'm twenty-five!"
Link kissed her on the mouth and said, "You can get engaged first." Then I can ask you to live with me. ”
Jessica chuckled and said, "So that's what you're aiming for!"
She attached her head to his chest, listened to his heartbeat, and said, "Then I'll go back to Neva with you in a few days." ”
Link was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and couldn't help but grin.
Hannah watched the two adults hug each other, she stood up on the couch, and then stepped on Link's thigh and squeezed between the two of them, grabbing one with one in one hand. She pouted and said, "Hannah wants a kiss!"
Link kissed her on the cheek and sat her on his lap. He asked Jessica, "What did you get out of going to Australia this time?"
"The deal didn't work out, but a sales team was hired there. We also found a winery that was willing to be our pilot. ”
Link could hear some frustration in her voice and said, "Maybe it will be better after September." ”
"Why do you say that?"
"Because my wines are going to be famous in September. ”
"You're so immodest!" Jessica said with a laugh. "But I think so, too! Your winery uses our products without any pesticides, and I think they'll understand the benefits." ”
When she said this, she regained a lot of confidence. However, she has another problem in mind: "However, the value of our company's products is aimed at the main mycodiseases and insect diseases of grapes, and it is not enough to fully meet the needs of wineries to control diseases." ”
Link thought for a moment and asked, "Isn't there any progress in the lab?"
"Several new product cultivation methods have been found. But from my dad, they haven't been able to find a way to control the number of splits in those products. If put into use directly, those products may multiply indefinitely and are prone to mutation. It is easy to have a serious impact on the entire environment and may even endanger human health. ”
Hearing this, Link nodded and said, "That's really dangerous. ”
"So I'm dad, they're looking at how to limit the number of reproductive generations of microbes. If the key can be found, all products can fully meet the requirements of environmental protection, and safety can also be guaranteed. ”
"The lab is still focusing on grape disease prevention?"
Jessica laughed and said, "I think if I transferred all the company's assets, you'd probably not notice anything." She paused and continued to laugh. "You see, you really should care more about our company. At least some of the company's situation should be understood. ”
Link put his arm around her and said with a little more strength, "I'm relieved that Canon Agricultural Services has you." And I still have a lot of work to do. ”
"What's your new plan?" she knew about what Link had done before. also knew that he had already left everything to others to do. Now he says he has a lot to do. That should be a new idea.
Link smiled and said, "Isn't there no one to take care of Ozette now? It's April now." Someone has to take care of the production over there. ”
"If you don't like to manage, just hire a manager. ”
Link shook his head and said, "When Hannah Castle is built, I'm going to move there." Since I'm there, I don't need to hire a manager. And the staff there are quite good, so I don't have to spend too much experience. ”
Jessica was happy to hear him say that. Link didn't care much about anything before. That's not a big deal, though. But she worries that Link's attitude towards life is becoming more and more negative. Now I hear that he is actively planning to run his largest farm. That shows that he has realized his mistake. It's well worth the reward. So she took the initiative to put her lips on it.
Hannah tilted her head and watched the two mouths in front of her stick together, not separated for a long time, and Daddy was still eating her tongue. She didn't understand why Kaka kissed her for so long, just for a while, and kissed her daddy. She felt very unfair. So, she got angry.
She stood up and reached for Link's face. It was her turn to kiss Kaka. She squinted, pouted, and stuck her little tongue out at Jessica.
Jessica was amused by her appearance for a long time.
