Chapter 449: Pass

If there is a man helping to carry the suitcase, it is indeed a lot faster. It's just that Shen Yiyi glanced at the American official who was accompanying Chen Bin from the corner of his eye, and he had a big belly, and he looked like he was overnourished. He didn't offer to help him carry a bag or anything. At this time, Shen Yiyi had time to slander this US imperialist official for lacking a sense of service.

Because of the special passage, Shen Yiyi and Chen Bin just followed the large army walking in front for a short while, and then turned a corner and separated from them. That's right, isn't this a little bit of power in your hands just to "go off the beaten path"? It is said to be a special channel, but in fact, it is also called a "diplomat courtesy channel". This is again divided into two types. Airports that do not have conditions are generally arranged on the outermost side of all transit lanes. Conditional airports will also be arranged at a separate exit. And Shen Yiyi obviously went to the latter situation this time. That's right, Los Angeles Airport is one of the top ten airports in the United States, and the conditions of the airport are pretty good. And the number of people entering and leaving the United States through this port every year is also enough, which is why China has set up one of the two major consulates in California here.

Although it is a separate so-called "courtesy" channel, the procedures that should be followed still have to be followed. So after Chen Bin asked for Shen Yiyi's passport in his hand, he came to the front of the customs officer.

Unlike China's customs and border inspection departments, which are different departments, the United States customs and border inspection are one department, so the full name of this department is called "U.S. Customs and Border Administration". And the U.S. visa doesn't specifically say how long she can stay in the U.S., in fact, the U.S. has a personality like that. What allowed Shen Yiyi to stay for as long as he could was the power of this official who was about to face her.

After handing Shen Yiyi's passport to the border inspector, Chen Bin turned around and asked Shen Yiyi: "Miss Shen, do you need me to be a translator for you?" The border inspector will ask you some questions in a moment. You need to answer well. ”

After getting the task of picking up people from the consul general, Chen Bin actually resisted a little in his heart. Shen Yiyi didn't guess wrong, in fact, although Chen Bin was also born in the city, he could not be called the second generation of officials. He really relied on his own strength, and after graduation, he was recruited to my country's diplomatic front and became a newcomer. Yes, in fact, even if there are some black-box operations, on the whole, the promotion channel of the civilian class to the upper class has not been completely closed. As Shen Yiyi imagined, Chen Bin's achievements are so good. So that he was completely not blinded from the light in front of other people who ate by connections. After coming to work at the Consulate in Los Angeles, he was appreciated by the Consul General for his hard work and efficiency.

The consul general arranged for Chen Bin to pick up people this time, but he actually had his own plans. Of course, it is because Chen Bin's work has always reassured him. Therefore, when receiving a wealthy child like Shen Yiyi, who can be described as the proud daughter of the sky, he also hoped that with Chen Bin's caution and prudence, Chen Bin could well complete this reception task that made the consul general a little headache. Because the Consul General believes that there is a deep generation gap between the needs of a little girl who has just come of age and himself.

Of course, the consul general also wants to promote Chen Bin. Give him a special opportunity. He knew that with such a humble son. If you want to go further in your career, you have to put in more effort and hard work than others. In addition, Chen Bin also needs to have good luck to ensure that he does not make any mistakes along the way. Because once he makes some mistakes at work, then he basically has no chance to correct them again, and he will be put into another book. But if he can climb a good family business and use the power of the Yue family, it will be very different. Of course. Giving him such an opportunity does not mean that Chen Bin will be able to seize this opportunity. Who can guarantee that Chen Bin will be able to understand the painstaking efforts of the consul general. Or to put it more thoroughly, whether Shen Yiyi can take a fancy to Chen Bin is really not something that the consul general can predict.

Anyway, judging from the situation on this side. Chen Bin really didn't appreciate the consul general's hard work in caring for him. On the contrary, because of his background, he has quite an opinion about this kind of high-ranking cadre with a strong background, and even his attitude towards Shen Yiyi is not very good. Although he was very polite on the surface and did his best to Shen Yiyi with a gentlemanly demeanor, the slight disdain in his heart still made Shen Yiyi feel something.

Although I don't know why this staff member seems to be a little disapprehensive about himself, Shen Yiyi thinks that the relationship between this staff member and himself is that Pingshui meets, and after this village, everyone doesn't know each other. So as long as it's not too much, Shen Yiyi really doesn't care how the other party treats him. So in the face of Chen Bin's question, Shen Yiyi just responded with a smile: "No need, thank you." ”

Chen Bin was a little surprised. He always thought that such a young lady should go out alone, with limited foreign language skills. In the face of the U.S. border officials, I must be a little flustered, and I need someone to help me or something. But unexpectedly, this little girl didn't mean to worry at all. She actually refused to help her. In that case, he didn't emphasize that he helped. Of course, the unspoken evil taste in his heart is also, he wants to watch this little girl who doesn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the sky at a loss when asked by the immigration officer.

This is also a loss of being a poor child. If it was really a high-ranking cadre's child, the family would have investigated Shen Yiyi's situation a long time ago, and then sent it to his own children outside. And Chen Bin can only live in his imagination of a high-ranking girl now, and he has prepared in vain for a while to watch the lively mood that is destined not to be realized.

After Chen Bin got out of the way, Shen Yiyi walked in front of the immigration officer, smiled at the other party, and said "Hi".

Smile is the universal language, so it's the same in the United States. And not only is it universal, but it's even easier to use here.

Although the medical community is not sure whether this is a disease or not, Shen Yiyi clearly knows that there is a group of people in this world, and he can't tell the difference when he sees other people's faces. As the saying goes, the symptoms of this type of person are called face blindness.

In Shen Yiyi's view, although it cannot be ruled out that some people are pathologically insensitive to the facial features of others, more people are actually unfamiliar with their own unfamiliar areas, which makes them weak in the facial features of people who are not very seen. When Shen Yiyi was an engineer in her previous life, she met a German engineer and personally told her that she was dressed by Chinese to judge the identity of the other party. Because he does not have the ability to distinguish the five senses of the Chinese. So when he came to the construction site of the Chinese, he encountered a huge obstacle. All the Chinese on the construction site wore the same work clothes.

Shen Yiyi diagnosed that the German engineer's problem was mainly that he met too few Chinese at home. The German lives on the border with Poland, and because the place is relatively remote, there are very few East Asians at all, not to mention Chinese, not even Japanese and Koreans. Not being cultivated by life to recognize the yellow race can only be said to be an inevitable result.

But the United States is different. It's a recognized country for immigrants. On the West Coast, due to historical and practical reasons, it is a place where Chinese people gather. Shen Yiyi believed that there might be a lot of Chinese neighbors around the immigration officer's home, and he might have had a lot of Chinese classmates at school when he was a child. So he should be able to identify the facial features of the Chinese.

Of course, it is impossible to confirm such a judgment. Because if you ask an immigration officer to admit that he has "face blindness", is that a decision to make someone lose their job? So I'll leave that question aside.

Facing Shen Yiyi's smile, the immigration officer also smiled at her.

“Oh,_you_look_quite_nice.”

The immigration officers of the United States are very fond of complimenting people. Whether this compliment was out of politeness or a strategic effort to lower the vigilance of others, it was not the first time that Shen Yiyi had been treated like this. The same was true when I came to the United States in a previous life.

So for such a compliment, in addition to saying thank you, Shen Yiyi didn't know what else to say.

The normal question and answer will naturally involve the main purpose of Shen Yiyi's trip. Shen Yiyi naturally told the truth. Because after going out immediately and meeting with the Morgan family, she will soon attend the press conference of the balance bike under the arrangement of the Morgan family. And she also expects that the launch could be quite sensational. In this case, the current low profile may be interpreted by the immigration officer as deliberately providing false information. She didn't want to cause trouble for her wrong choices.

From the moment Shen Yi opened his mouth, Chen Bin was taken aback. As a diplomatic worker, English is an important tool for him to eat. Waiting for an idle person to speak English would not make him feel so surprised, but Shen Yiyi did it. Because she speaks fairly standard Oxford English.

If Shen Yiyi knew that her spoken words had not only surprised the old gentleman and aunt of the Chi family on the plane, but also shocked the young staff member from the consulate, then she would have made a "YEAH" gesture in the mirror quite proudly, because what was the purpose of spending so much time practicing English pronunciation at that time? Isn't that just for this case? (To be continued......)
