Chapter 8: Homecoming, Encounters, Thoughts
"I'm going back. When the officials under him stared at Lin Zhicheng, his eyes clearly revealing the meaning of inquiry, he gave this answer.
Do you have any big things to deal with? Can that be more important than attracting investment?
"Don't look at me like that, don't you?" was stared at by Carter and the others' 'resentful' eyes, Lin Zhicheng was also a little embarrassed: "Don't worry, it's only a few days, I'll be back soon." Maybe I'll be back before you even leave. ”
Although the decision to attract investment has been made, how to contact the big conglomerates and prepare a plan to persuade them to invest is not something that can be solved in a short time.
Besides, Lin Zhicheng went home this time just to explain the situation to his aunt who stayed in his hometown, and by the way, he took the two cousins to the magic capital and asked them to continue their classes this semester. It's not a big deal, it really doesn't take much time.
As he said, he may have returned from the country again before the people of Nalan Island had discussed a sufficiently sound plan of action.
“…… All right. After listening to Lin Zhicheng's explanation, Carter and the others were relieved. Of course, a word of advice is still indispensable: "Boss, you have to talk and come back as soon as possible." After all, you are the owner of the island, and there are some things that only you can decide. ”
"Okay, I promise. ”
………………..
Carter and the others, who were responsible for managing the normal operation of the island, had no other opinions, but John, the old housekeeper who was responsible for taking care of Lin Zhicheng's private life, was not so easy to break away.
Well, in Lin Zhicheng's homecoming plan, he really didn't think about taking the old housekeeper John with him.
First, it was because the old butler John was an authentic 'foreigner', and if he went back with him, it would inevitably cause a commotion. Second, it's because if the old butler John follows him, he will make himself look like a 'rich man', and then, naturally, a group of people will surround him and want to get wet.
Lin Zhicheng is not a ruthless and unrighteous character, such as his aunt's family, he has always kept it in his heart, and he always wants to repay it.
After the accident with his parents, only my aunt's family reached out and helped to take care of the aftermath. The others, not only did they not help, but even joined forces and moved out of the village elders and village chiefs, using the words 'you won't come back to settle down anyway, and it's useless to keep this land', they just took away the homestead that should have been inherited by him from Lin Zhicheng at a very small price.
Let those people touch their own light? Forget it, Lin Zhicheng's heart is not wide enough yet.
In short, with the reason of 'travel lightly, go back quickly', Lin Zhicheng finally persuaded the old housekeeper John to set foot on the way home alone.
It takes a lot of time to get back to the magic capital from the Nalan Islands. There is no way, the Naran Islands are not popular at the moment, and airlines have not opened direct long-haul flights here in order to ensure profits.
In other words, Lin Zhicheng had to go to Hawaii first, and wait for seven or eight hours after landing before he could set off for the magic capital.
From Nalan Island at nine o'clock in the morning to ten o'clock in the evening of the next day, after thirty-seven hours of tossing back and forth, Lin Zhicheng returned to his apartment in the magic city.
I left for almost a month and a half, even if the air quality here in the magic capital is not bad, there is not too much dust, even if the doors and windows have been closed when I go out, after so many days, a thin layer of dust has fallen at home.
It's not early, and with the fatigue of the journey, there really isn't much energy left. Lin Zhicheng simply cleaned up the bedroom first, and then cooked himself a bowl of instant noodles for supper, and then fell asleep deeply.
The next morning, well, I didn't get up until half past eleven, and the time could already be considered noon.
After washing and cheering up, Lin Zhicheng continued to ignore the dust accumulated at home and went straight out to run errands.
The first thing to do is to make another trip to the airport. When he came back, Lin Zhicheng brought a lot of gifts to his aunt's family, but because of some small accidents in transit in Hawaii, his luggage was not transported with the flight, but had to depart from Hawaii a day later, so Lin Zhicheng had to temporarily modify the plan and go to the airport today to pick it up.
Fortunately, it was only a little late, and there were no other surprises. After arriving at the airport, after waiting for a while, Lin Zhicheng picked up the boxes that belonged to him.
I found a small cart to put the boxes, and while pushing the cart to avoid the crowd, I moved towards the entrance of the airport hall. Suddenly, Lin Zhicheng's ears heard a chaotic movement.
When I turned my head, a large number of people gathered at the passenger exit, and there were eight CD girls in the crowd, all of whom had extremely expectant expressions, either holding various fancy gadgets in their hands, or holding mobile phones, staring at the automatic door at the passenger exit.
Maybe there's a star coming. Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but through the understanding on the Internet, Lin Zhicheng has accurately guessed the identity of this group of little girls, obviously, they are all star chasers, to put it fashionably, they are the so-called fan girls.
It doesn't matter if she's a fan sister or not, it has nothing to do with herself anyway. Only one day after returning home, Lin Zhicheng had already found his way of thinking as an otaku, turned his head indifferently, and continued to push the cart towards the exit of the hall.
"Whoa~~~~~~!" As soon as he turned around, a burst of cheers suddenly erupted behind him, mixed with screams.
Although he had already guessed that it was the star that the fans were waiting for came out, however, because this sound happened to be a little sudden, Lin Zhicheng couldn't help but be taken aback.
Subconsciously glanced back, and through the crowded crowd, Lin Zhicheng vaguely saw the figures of several young men.
"It turned out to be from Korea, tsk. "I can't see who it is, but through the shouting of 'OPPA' from the mouths of the fans, Lin Zhicheng still guessed the origin of the other party.
As an otaku, Lin Zhicheng sometimes watches Korean variety shows on the Internet, and he knows a little about the artists who are active in the Korean entertainment industry. However, in the end, it is a man, especially a man with a more normal aesthetics, he still prefers those female idols with beautiful legs and long legs, and as for those beautiful men who are feminine to the sissy, he has always been very uninterested.
For example, now, knowing that the other party is a popular idol group, Lin Zhicheng still doesn't have the heart to move forward at all, and the two seconds he stopped were just smacking his tongue for the madness of the fan girls.
Maybe it was because there were too many people, or maybe everyone was so emotional, and all of a sudden, a gap was squeezed out of the wall of people pulled by the airport security.
The one at the front got out of the gap and ran to her idol with an excited expression, and behind her, because she was caught off guard, several little girls were squeezed to the ground, entangled with each other and fell into a ball.
Suddenly, a small situation happened, but fortunately it was not very dangerous. Soon, the security guards helped the little girls up and repaired the human wall again.
In the chaos, the security guards forgot about the only lucky little girl who got out of the wall.
Well, in fact, this little girl was not much luck. The reason why she rushed out desperately was nothing more than to get an autograph from her idol, but when she ran in front of her idol, she still couldn't fulfill her little wish.
It wasn't that he was stopped by the agents around the idols, but he was directly pushed open by the idols themselves. Seeing this scene from afar, Lin Zhicheng's perception and evaluation of the male idol group in front of him were reduced a few points - if the agent stepped forward to block him, he could also speak from the company's standpoint, and take out 'I am worried that I will not suffer from inequality, and I must treat all fans equally' as a reason to explain the refusal to sign. And the current situation is that that guy, as an artist, still refuses to sign autographs for fans under the premise that the agent has not stopped him, and the other fans have been controlled by the security guards and will not make any more mistakes, which can only show that he does not take the fan in front of him seriously.
"Forget it, it's none of my business anyway, maybe the little girl still thinks it's handsome." There was a little contempt in his heart, but in the end, it was none of his business, and with a sigh, Lin Zhicheng still chose to leave.
When I went out, the sound was much quieter, and my ears were much lighter.
When he stopped a taxi and was about to go home, Lin Zhicheng suddenly had another thought - should he buy a car?
There are so many things that it seems a bit difficult to get them all back to my hometown, but it would be nice to have a car. Such an idea was the first reason that prompted Lin Zhicheng to have the idea of buying a car.
Of course, more importantly, it was because he remembered some of the things he had heard when he had been drinking with his uncle two years ago, when he had planned to buy a small van for his family. On weekdays, whether it is to transport agricultural products or to repair a house, it can be used. However, because the two cousins were admitted to college at the same time, the uncle had to give up the idea of buying a car and used all the money he saved to pay the tuition fees of the two cousins.
Not being able to buy a pickup truck has always been a regret in my uncle's heart. Now that he has money, Lin Zhicheng can't help but have the idea of making up for his uncle's regrets.
