Chapter 389: To Each According to His Needs
When Zhen Fan and the three were about to leave, the staff stopped Zhen Fan, and Mayor Turner wanted to talk to Zhen Fan alone. This made Zhen Fan a little surprised, he has no intersection with the official now, of course, except for the relationship between those few congressmen in California, and it is not a political relationship with them, purely between patients and doctors. And with Dan Milk, vice executive chairman of the California Senate, it's just a one-sided relationship.
"Can they go?" Zhen Fan asked the staff.
The staff looked embarrassed, spread their hands and said, "Mr. Mayor only invited Dr. Zhen alone. Maybe I can ask you for the mayor's opinion again! ”
"Alright, alright, we're waiting for you here!" Lance spoke first!
"Go ahead, don't worry about us!" Helena also said with a smile and patted Zhen Fan's shoulder, "It's probably a good thing, maybe I'll give you a bonus!" ”
Zhen Fan shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't care. Money is nothing to him at all. Now there are new wines to be marketed, and there is no need to worry about money, not to mention the huge income brought by two clinics.
Zhen Fan went with the staff to meet Mayor Nat. It was in a small private reception room in the mayor's house. There were no other people inside, except Mayor Turner, a clerk and a reporter and photographer.
It seems that Mayor Turner wants to have a separate special meeting with Zhen Fan, and wants to make news and release it. It turned out that after Turner knew that Zhen Fan was also one of the rescue doctors, he had this idea. One is because Zhen Fan is a celebrity. Not just those celebrities in film and television, but celebrities with the halo of American heroes. He is also a celebrity who has a wide range of contacts with many political, film and medical circles.
In front of Zhen Fan, he couldn't show the slightest shelf, and he had to make himself look like he and Zhen Fan were chatting like old friends on an equal footing. Case. Zhen Fan is not polite, when he came, he basically guessed a little bit of Mayor Nat's intentions, since he treated him politely, then he also treated him with courtesy, and the courtesy was still exchanged!
"Hello, Mr. Zhen, it's really a bit presumptuous. Should have greeted you early. But...... It was also a temporary decision! When Mayor Nat saw Zhen Fan, he immediately got up and walked towards Zhen Fan. also gave Zhen Fan a big hug very affectionately, showing that he and Zhen Fan were very close.
"It's a great honor!" Zhen Fan nodded, and the two let go.
Mayor Turner invited Zhen Fan to sit next to him, and there were two sofa chairs. Placed diagonally side by side. There is no prioritization, which means that the status of this dialogue is equal between the two people.
"We were just chatting this time, and I learned a lot about Dr. Zhen, such as your legendary experience and your superb medical skills and extensive contacts, which is amazing, and only exceptional people who have lived in the United States for many years can reach such heights."
"Indeed...... It wasn't easy, but I just caught the plane crash. Something that others don't want to happen to me in their lifetime. I don't know if it's lucky or not. Zhen Fan also laughed and made a joke, and immediately both of them burst into laughter. The rest couldn't help but laugh.
Now they are relieved. They were afraid that Zhen Fan would be restrained because of facing Mayor Nat, and if they shot like this, it would look unnatural, but now that they are like this, they are much more relieved. Make an "OK" gesture to Mayor Nat to signal that you can go.
In fact, this interview is just like that, Mayor Nat introduced Zhen Fan to the history, geography and urban characteristics of Philadelphia, and also introduced his family. Then he talked about Zhen Fan's plane crash experience and the process of him winning the title of American Hero, as well as the outstanding medical skills shown in this rescue.
In short, there is no such thing as a violent clash of views or excitement, as if two old friends were talking. Even Mr. Nat wanted Zhen Fan to send out an invitation, inviting him to be the image ambassador of Philadelphia, and to visit other cities or countries with him.
But Zhen Fan still refused, he didn't like to get involved in such things at all. And the personal wishes of Mr. Nat contained in this are too strong, and he is completely squeezing your image value, Zhen Fan will not let him get his wish, unless he shows enough sincerity, and now he has not expressed anything.
Sure enough, Mr. Nat looked a little disappointed. But as a mature politician, this is not much of a setback. He was already planning to make good use of the video of the interview. Reversing the negative impact of a major crash on Philadelphia, after all, the cause of the crash is man-made.
Zhen Fan, a former American hero, undoubtedly reappeared, saving Philadelphia and saving his reputation. Let Zhen Fan's propaganda overshadow those negative reports, stimulate the heroic complex of Americans, and maybe turn bad things into good things. Of course, if such a report comes out, Zhen Fan will be a bit like a character in those hero comics, where there is a problem, he will appear there, it is simply a living image of Spider-Man or Batman.
The interview lasted about half an hour, and then Mr. Nat shook hands with Zhen Fan and said goodbye.
"Thank you very much!" Mr. Nat shook hands with Zhen Fan again and personally sent him to the elevator, which was a bit unusual, "Looking forward to your next visit, I will invite you to my house as a guest!" ”
"That's it!" Zhen Fan laughed and nodded, "But...... Did you cook it yourself? ”
"Of course, my cooking skills are not bad, if you want, we can be together!" Nat laughed too.
Zhen Fan actually nodded very seriously: "I'll surprise you!" ”
Saying goodbye to the two, Zhen Fan walked into the elevator, and Mayor Nat walked back with satisfaction, this time even if there was no Zhen Fan, he planned to establish the image of a rescue hero. But there is absolutely no Zhen Fan, the existing American hero, after all, the plane crash has been deeply rooted in the hearts of Americans. It is said that Hollywood director Bit Jackson wants to make a movie about this experience.
Right now...... Director Bit Jackson should be able to think about the filming of the sequel after that rescue movie, isn't this also a story that can be made into heroic deeds?
In short, Mayor Nat is very satisfied, and Zhen Fan is also very satisfied, this is a good opportunity to promote traditional Chinese medicine, and it is a step forward for the future development of traditional Chinese medicine in the United States and Europe.
When they returned to the hall, Lance and Helena both walked over and smiled at Zhen Fan: "Philadelphia will remember you, Zhen, at least Mayor Nat will remember you!" ”
"If I can pay less tax if I open a clinic in the specialty, then I will be very honored to be received by Mayor Nat, and it doesn't matter if I see him a few more times!" Zhen Fan smiled.
The three of them walked out of the hall with a smile and a smile, and then found their car.
"I'll drive!" Zhen Fan beckoned to Lance, who threw the car keys over.
"Do you know how to get around the city?" Lance asked.
"It's okay, I'm a hero of Philadelphia now!"
"Okay, okay, but heroes may not know the way!" Lance was thundered by Zhen Fan, stretched out his hand, said he was speechless, and then naturally sat in the passenger seat, while correcting Zhen Fan's route mistakes at any time.
"Will we still have a hotel?" Helena, who was sitting in the back row, asked a question.
"No, absolutely not!" Lance said no, decisively.
It was his darkest memory of the past two days, first being crushed by the hostess to death, dead and alive, and then being kicked twice by Helena, seriously injuring vital organs, and then full of fear of that place.
"We're going south, we're going to Washington, D.C., I'm going there to see, I've been in the United States for more than a year, and I've got to see what the nation's capital looks like!" Zhen Fan's expression became a little excited, Washington is the place he has always wanted to come, mainly to see the White House and the Pentagon.
"Okay, let's go to Washington!" Lance shouted, then pointed to the road ahead, "Turn left, yes, this is the city center, the road conditions here are very complicated, you choose to be a driver, it's a very difficult challenge!" ”
It was indeed a very difficult challenge, Zhen Fan turned left and right, and under the guidance of Lance, he finally turned out of the city, but it had been more than an hour, so after driving out of the city, Zhen Fan parked his car at a nearby fast food restaurant, intending to eat something before leaving.
In Philadelphia, Zhen Fan didn't stay long, nor did he visit Harvard University and MIT, which are so exciting for countless students, but he was full of interest in some of Washington's iconic buildings.
The roadside fast food restaurants have no characteristics at all, and the food is barely okay, and it is more popular. Zhen Fan asked for a lobster package, and he was really addicted to eating lobster.
After eating and drinking, the three of them rested for a while, and then sat on a nearby lawn, leaning against the tree, squinting in the shade, and the three of them formed a half-circle.
"Why Miami? Are there any secrets there? As he sat down, Lance finally couldn't help but speak, "I've been to Miami and had a trip to the sea, but nothing happened. ”
"Let's talk about it when we get there, maybe you ignored it, Zhen will be able to find it?" Helena said something that made Lance suppress the question.
"Actually...... We can treat this as a trip. Staying at home anyway will always put yourself in a quagmire that is getting deeper and deeper. In this regard, it is a new opportunity! Zhen Fan was not too sure what he would find in Miami, so he could only comfort the two of them like this.
"I'm for it!" Helena was the first to express her feelings, "Staying in that town, I really don't know how to get out of the emotional quagmire, but luckily you went!" "She refers to Zhen Fan.
"Me too, I feel like I'm a little bit of a walking dead with those souls. I was about to pray to God that this qiē would be over and bring me out of this hellish place! As a result, Zhen, you're here! Lance grinned, "God sent you, I've always thought so!" (To be continued......)
