Chapter 1208: The Return of the King
Cheng Xiaoyu stayed at the flight map on the TV screen, quietly looking at the sky above which time zones he had flown over, and the screen showed the temperature outside the window minus 60 degrees Celsius and the altitude of 16,000 meters. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Just now, I have flown through a time zone.
He stared at the screen, calculating how long it would be before he got to the date line, a moment to remember for him, the planes catching up with time in the thin air, and all of them going through the sunrise and sunset of the day in a matter of hours.
At this moment, Cheng Xiaoyu's heart was filled with indescribable excitement, as if he was leaving the earth in a spaceship.
The plane sped away, it was night when it took off from Los Angeles, and a few hours later it was already early in the morning, and the red sun was rising and falling in the cotton-like clouds, and by the time it reached Hawaii, it was already noon, and the change of day was about to arrive.
Cheng Xiaoyu didn't get tired at all, he looked at the flight map carefully, and when the plane finally flew over that line on the map, he picked up the prepared Leica camera and took several photos outside the porthole.
The sky on the display is clear, white clouds are stacked on top of the light blue, and the silver wings on one side stretch out in the blue-white picture, reflecting a dazzling ray of sunlight on it.
Cheng Xiaoyu thought it was beautiful, he put down the camera, leaned back in the chair, and the beautiful stewardess who had been paying attention to him hurriedly asked him if he wanted to drink or eat something.
Cheng Xiaoyu simply asked for a glass of water, then thanked him, and then listened to the music and closed his somewhat sour eyes and pretended to sleep.
The body is very tired, but the spirit is still very excited, he doesn't know whether the time passes fast or slow, in short, every time he opens his eyes to look at the watch, he feels why it has only been such a while, he opened his eyes intermittently and closed his eyes, trying to fall asleep, so as to mix up this long time, but every time he slept very shallowly, the noise of the engine, the occasional bump caused by the passage of air, the light footsteps and the sound of the flight attendant, he heard clearly in the chaos, and even he could feel the light and darkness in the cabin.
When he arrived at the Sea of Japan, there were only two hours left to arrive in Shanghai, Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't sleep, he got up and went to the bathroom to wash his face, and when he returned to his seat, the stewardess asked him if he wanted to eat, Cheng Xiaoyu, who had nothing to do, nodded and smiled and said, "Okay!" Although he couldn't eat at all.
When he replied "yes", he saw the stewardess's expression jump, and the beautiful stewardess immediately walked back to the place where the meal was prepared.
Cheng Xiaoyu could hear her excitedly saying to another flight attendant from afar: "Yushen is finally going to eat, this is the third sentence he said to me today..... I'll hear a few more words later, I'm so happy!"
Another voice said coquettishly: "Let me go when the harvest is closed!
"No, no, how can I let you take my male god's plate..... It is said that he himself is really handsome and temperamental..... Oh, if I could marry him, I would be so happy......"
Cheng Xiaoyu, who heard this pair of whites, couldn't help but wonder, and it didn't take long for the flight attendant to bring the appetizer: sea cucumber soup + spicy edamame salad + abalone + jasmine chicken jelly, and waited for Cheng Xiaoyu to finish it slowly, and then brought the main dish: cherry braised pork + a small bowl of Yangzhou fried rice......
The stewardess put the tray on Cheng Xiaoyu's dining table and said gently: "This is what our leaders specially prepared for you in advance when they knew that you were going to take our flight..... Welcome home. ”
When Cheng Xiaoyu heard the word "go home", her heartbeat began to accelerate.
Yes, although his time in Shanghai is not long, but Shanghai seems to be his home, he raised his head, with a hint of moisture in his eyes and said, "Thank you for being so attentive, thank you ......"
The beautiful flight attendant hurriedly picked up the plane and said with a red face: "Feather God..... Can you sign me later?"
Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Wait until I'm done eating..... Group photos are OK...."
.......
When the plane flew over the sea of Shanghai, it was twelve o'clock in the morning.
Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the lights scattered in the darkness, the little warm colors were compiled into a neon net, and there were lights flowing in between, the scenery was spectacular, brighter than the galaxy, more colorful than the streamer.
Shang Hai arrived.
A warm voice sounded in the cabin: "Ladies and gentlemen: the plane is about to arrive in Shanghai, and the ground temperature is 13 degrees Celsius......" Maybe it's not very English, maybe it sounds a little mechanical.
But at the moment, Cheng Xiaoyu felt very warm.
Cheng Xiaoyu had already fastened his seatbelt and turned off his electronic devices, and he felt that the plane was diving and falling with his body and mind.....
When the plane landed smoothly at Shanghai Pudong International Airport after a period of turbulence, Cheng Xiaoyu's mood became more and more nervous, and even his heart trembled, although Shanghai's frequent sunshine was not as bright as California's, although the air here was a little muddy, not as fresh as California's.
But Cheng Xiaoyu felt that he was already a little tired of wandering outside, this is his hometown and home, there are mountains and forests he is familiar with, and there are beaches and temples he has visited...... And here are his dreams..... and the key to life.
As the plane slowed down, Cheng Xiaoyu's mood stirred, he turned his head and looked greedily at the familiar terminal, and far away under the spotlight, he saw a huge red banner hanging under the word "Shanghai": "Warmly welcome Cheng Xiaoyu home!"
This banner was a little unexpected by Cheng Xiaoyu, it was something he didn't expect at all, he looked at the red banner for a long time, his expression was a little surprised.
He didn't know the time when he returned to China, because the developed network had been spread all over the country, and he didn't know that the main road of Pudong International Airport at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night was still jammed with traffic, all of them were fans who came to pick him up.
Regarding the madness of fans, Cheng Xiaoyu still didn't know anything about it at this time.
After the plane stopped, Cheng Xiaoyu was the first to get off the plane under the arrangement of the crew, but as soon as he walked out of the bridge surrounded by bodyguards, the group was stopped by the ground staff.
Cheng Xiaoyu looked between the two bodyguards and saw a ground crew standing with an elegant man and a graceful lady standing aside, among which a demure lady in a blue Chanel suit was still holding flowers in her hand.
These two Cheng Xiaoyu know each other, the male is Fan Yuewen, the principal of the opera, and the female is naturally Aunt Zhou.
Cheng Xiaoyu was very surprised by this unexpected pick-up, and stepped forward and shouted, "Aunt Zhou!" and said, "Fan..... Hello, Headmaster, why are you here too?"
Before Fan Yuewen could answer, Zhou Peipei first stuffed a large handful of tulips into Cheng Xiaoyu's arms, and then reached out and touched Cheng Xiaoyu's forehead and said, "Stinky boy, now that your wings are hard, you won't say a word when you go home!"
Cheng Xiaoyu looked at Aunt Zhou, she was wearing a white jade bracelet on her wrist, the blue Chanel suit and her plain makeup complemented each other, and her face was not too much fat powder, but it was as thick as the best peony in the painting.
Yun sideburns hold a pair of beautiful eyes, the eyes are still black and translucent, the upper tail adds a delicate charm to the whole noble and dignified face, and the snow-colored skin is as fat as jade, as if it will ripple out of the water when touched, and it is not obvious that she is a woman in her early forties.
Cheng Xiaoyu hugged the flower and smiled awkwardly: "Isn't this trying to surprise you?" In fact, Cheng Xiaoyu didn't know whether to go back to sleep or not, so he didn't dare to tell Aunt Zhou, he always had concerns in his heart.
Zhou Peipei looked at Cheng Xiaoyu's upright figure and seemed to have the shadow of Su Changhe, remembering his words at the Oscars, her eyes were a little red, she reached out and hugged Cheng Xiaoyu, and patted him twice on the back and said, "Anyway, it's good to come back..... Just come back!"
Fan Yuewen interrupted this touching family drama and said with a wry smile: "Professor Zhou, you two can catch up later, and a team of leaders are waiting in the VIP room!
Zhou Peipei straightened up, wiped her moist eyes with her hand, turned back to Fan Yuewen and said, "Well, you know, don't delay the business, let's go over now!" and then said to Cheng Xiaoyu, "You go with me and Principal Fan first!"
Cheng Xiaoyu didn't know what was going on, and asked suspiciously while keeping up with the pace, "Aunt Zhou, Principal Fan, what's going on?"
Fan Yuewen took Cheng Xiaoyu and walked towards the VIP room and said with a smile: "Boy, you have made a lot of trouble when you return to China this time, Secretary Gu and Mayor Guo have come to pick you up in person!"
Cheng Xiaoyu said noncommittally "ah", and said with a little headache: "I don't seem to have told anyone that I want to come back, right?" He is most annoyed by these social interactions, and he doesn't like these hypocritical interactions in officialdom.
Fan Yuewen saw Cheng Xiaoyu's face, and said as she walked: "As soon as the video of your autograph for someone else at the airport is released, the whole of China will know what time your flight will arrive! Not to mention that you are also on the country's key list, can the government not know about your return to China?" Then he patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, the leader is not a man-eating monster.....
Cheng Xiaoyu smiled bitterly: "I just don't think it's necessary to make such a big battle, right?"
Zhou Peipei shook his head with a smile and said: "You haven't gone out yet, the situation in the pick-up hall is even more terrible, now it's all crowded with people, all of them are waiting for you, the light signs and banners are like a concert......"
Cheng Xiaoyu didn't know what to say for a while, he completely underestimated his influence in Huaxia and the enthusiasm of his fans, he thought that when he arrived in the middle of the night, there would not be too many people to pick up the plane, after all, it was not a weekend, those who should go to work had to go to work, and those who should have attended classes had to go to class.
But these can only be left behind for the time being, he wants to ask Su Yuxi, but he can't ask, in fact, he doesn't have much chance to talk to Zhou Peipei, it has always been Fan Yuewen who is communicating with him.
mainly hopes that Cheng Xiaoyu will return to the play to hold a meeting, and it is best to give a speech, and choose Cheng Xiaoyu's appearance, and said that Cheng Xiaoyu's file has been on the play, and he is ready to hire Cheng Xiaoyu as a visiting professor or honorary professor, I hope Cheng Xiaoyu will not refuse.
Cheng Xiaoyu temporarily pushed it off on the grounds that he had just come back and needed time to think about it.
Fan Yuewen didn't mind, and said with a smile: "Anyway, you ran away as a monk, you can't run away from the temple, your Aunt Zhou is our lobbyist in the play....."
Zhou Peipei smiled: "Is there a .....bonus if the invitation is successful?"
Fan Yuewen immediately bribed very generously: "The invitation is successful, the vice principal is yours..."
Cheng Xiaoyu could only smile and shake his head, Fan Yuewen and Zhou Peipei led Cheng Xiaoyu to the airport VIP lounge, where Gu Shitong, who had been promoted to the secretary of SWCW Shanghai, Guo Qiang, mayor of Shanghai, Han Yong, secretary general, and all members of the Shanghai Olympic Bid Committee, and other senior officials in Shanghai were waiting for him.
As soon as Cheng Xiaoyu walked in, Gu Shitong greeted him directly, holding Cheng Xiaoyu's hand with both hands and shaking it vigorously: "Looking forward to the stars and the moon, but finally looking forward to our great director back....."
At this time, the reporters and media on both sides began to take pictures cracklingly, Gu Shitong cooperated with the pose, and Cheng Xiaoyu had no choice but to follow.
Then all the members of the pick-up group shook hands with Cheng Xiaoyu respectively, and Cheng Xiaoyu had not had time to adapt to this sudden enthusiasm.
He is still a little confused, if Cheng Xiaoyu is just an Oscar director, he is naturally not qualified to enjoy such a high-standard pick-up team, the problem is that he is not only a world-renowned Oscar director, but also the owner of the world's largest music copyright company in the "Sound of Rain", and the actual owner of "Xi Yu".
Although the fact that Cheng Xiaoyu is the actual owner of "Xi Yu" has not been exposed, in fact, Su Yuxi has already passed the case of the Xu family, the Xu family is very clear, and several big bosses in China also know it, and Cheng Xiaoyu's name has long been on the red list.
As the base camp of the Xu family, Shanghai certainly knows at the level of secretary and mayor, but the number of people who know it is very limited, so today's high-level reception lineup still surprises many people.
Gu Xueren, who was standing in the back, was very surprised, originally he thought that as long as he persevered, showed his heart, and impressed Su Yuxi with sincerity, sooner or later he would not be able to defeat Su Yuxi of the family, and there would be no better choice.
But now, Cheng Xiaoyu has become a mountain that he must climb over, that is to say, if he really wants to marry Su Yuxi, he must first impress Cheng Xiaoyu, which is also the purpose of his coming to pick up the plane today, first come over to deal with this "future uncle", and strive to leave a good impression in his heart.
But now is far from the time when he can speak, Gu Xueren looked at the crowd wearing ripped jeans, T-shirts and flight jackets of the Animal Protection Organization, and the handsome Cheng Xiaoyu stood in the middle of a group of Chinese officials in suits and leather shoes and pot-bellied Chinese officials, and felt very weird, and then could only smile bitterly.
The other party is too good, but he is only 24 years old, and he has achieved a lot of achievements, and his own conditions are much better than the other party, not to mention, he is still the key cultivation object of the family, but the gap is too big in comparison.
He remembered that about four or five years ago, the young man in front of him had to look at Su Yuxi's face when he said a word to him, but now, he wanted to say a few words to the other party, and he had to wait for the other party to have time to give him a chance......
It's unpredictable.
However, Gu Xueren didn't worry too much, he felt that it was not difficult to be friends with Cheng Xiaoyu with his EQ and IQ, as long as he could make friends with Cheng Xiaoyu, he believed that Cheng Xiaoyu would be moved by him sooner or later!
Gu Xueren has this self-confidence, as well as this perseverance and determination.
Cheng Xiaoyu held up a smiling face that was already a little sore and greeted the officials, and then said a bunch of words that he would definitely support the Olympic bid and so on, and the whole reception came to an end.
Gu Shitong saw that the time was not early, and he took the lead in saying goodbye, and when he left, he told Cheng Xiaoyu that he had found someone in the city to be a liaison, and he would come to see him later, and said that because there were too many fans waiting for him outside, he arranged a helicopter for him, and said a few words of greeting, and then left with a group of people.
Then Mayor Guo Qiang came up and held Cheng Xiaoyu's hand and said: "Xiaoyu, I grew up watching Xiao Ning, you can call me uncle with Xiao Ning in the future, don't call me mayor, mayor, it looks like a ..... In the future, the development of Shanghai still needs to contribute to the development of Shanghai! I hope you will make more contributions to your hometown! Another day, you can bring Xiao Ning to my house to sit down.... We'll be a family from now on....."
Although Cheng Xiaoyu doesn't like officialdom, he is not a white, so he naturally heard that Guo Qiang was from the Xu Department, and immediately smiled sincerely, and spoke a lot more affectionately, and said: "Uncle Guo, I can't talk about contribution, but as long as I can do my best, I will definitely do my best, and when you have time, I will definitely visit Xiaoning and ......"
Guo Qiang patted Cheng Xiaoyu on the shoulder and said, "I'm waiting to eat you and Xiao Ning's candy as soon as possible....."
Although Cheng Xiaoyu had been prepared, he still felt a little heavy loss in his heart, and his smile froze and said, "This is up to Xiao Ning to decide...."
Guo Qiang smiled and said, "Then you have to come on, call me if you encounter any difficulties in Shanghai...."After finishing speaking, he asked the secretary to leave Cheng Xiaoyu's phone number, and gave Cheng Xiaoyu's business card and turned to leave.
Then the officials of the government department shook hands with Cheng Xiaoyu and said goodbye, there were as many as seven or eight people behind, and Cheng Xiaoyu didn't have the kung fu to identify them one by one.
All this made Cheng Xiaoyu feel a little tired, when it was the turn of the last person, Cheng Xiaoyu was already numb, he shook hands with the person opposite in response to the story, in fact, he didn't take a closer look at who that person was, he shook it twice and was about to let go, but the person grabbed it tightly and didn't let go.
Cheng Xiaoyu found that something was wrong, so he raised his eyes to see, the man stood in the brightly lit VIP room and smiled at Cheng Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, don't you know who I am?"
