Chapter 60: Arrival in Los Angeles

The word 'Kai Tak' in Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport is taken from the names of Ho Kai, a well-known Chinese businessman, and his close friend Au Tak, respectively, and was built in the 20s after the completion of the first phase of reclamation works by the Hong Kong government.

Kai Tak Airport was converted into a military airport during the Japanese occupation, and after the war, it was exclusively used for civilian use, and the military airport was moved to Shek Kong, New Territories.

At this time, Su Jingxian and his entourage entered the old airport from Kai Tak Road, lined up to board the plane, and sat down in turn.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a dozen hours, relax." Su Jingxian looked at Zhong Qiang, who was sitting next to him, pursing his lips, his face was slightly pale, and said with a smile.

Zhong Qiang turned his face and barely squeezed out a smile: "Boss, if you tell fortunes, I have a hurdle at the age of twenty-six, and now there is a month to celebrate the New Year, I am worried that this hurdle will not be crossed!" Do you see newsprint? A passenger plane crashed into a hill in August last year......"

"I'll pounce on your mother! Crow's mouth, shut up! Seeing that the passengers in the neighboring seats around him heard Zhong Qiang's words, their faces showed displeasure, and Su Jingxian hurriedly slapped Zhong Qiang on the back of the head to stop him from continuing.

There have indeed been several air crashes in Hong Kong in the past two years, and now the people who take the plane are a little awkward in their hearts, Su Jingxian is really afraid that Zhong Qiang will continue to talk about it, and the three of them will be asked to get off the plane before the plane takes off.

Sitting opposite Su Jingxian and Zhong Qiang was a young man named Deng Zhipeng, the 'special correspondent' of the China Hong Kong Daily in what Chen Bingzhong said.

Although it was the first time to take a plane, compared to Zhong Qiang, who had already begun to break out in a cold sweat, Deng Zhipeng's state after getting on the plane was obviously countless times stronger than him, not only did he not feel the slightest discomfort, but his squinted eyes also turned around, revealing a strong curiosity about all the furnishings on the plane.

"Boss, have you ever been to the United States?" After the plane took off, he withdrew his gaze from the uniformed flight attendant, and Deng Zhipeng asked Su Jingxian, who was flipping through a magazine opposite.

Su Jingxian raised his head and said in a relaxed tone: "Like you, the old virgin entered the cave room for the first time." ”

Deng Zhipeng smiled, rubbed his hands and asked, "Listen to Uncle Zhong, is it true that you can take pictures of beautiful girls when you go to the United States this time?" ”

The specific matters of founding the magazine Su Jingxian only discussed with the editor-in-chief Chen Bingzhong, at this time the two employees around him did not know what to do in the United States, hearing Deng Zhipeng mention it, Zhong Qiang, who closed his eyes because the plane took off, couldn't help but open his eyes and look at Su Jingxian.

"What? Hearing that there is a beautiful girl who is not even shocked when the plane takes off? Su Jingxian looked at Zhong Qiang and teased.

Zhong Qiang grabbed the armrests of the seat with both hands, shook his head after listening to Su Jingxian's words, and said: "I want to vomit when I see a woman without a shirt now, boss, you must not let me go to the United States to do the same job." ”

This proud nightlife text editor who once created the miracle of the Eight Girls of the Night, now when he hears Su Jingxian mention women, he no longer has the original high-spirited look.

"Don't worry, even if you want, the ghost girl can't look down on your little body." Su Jingxian smiled slightly, his eyes fell on the magazine in his hand again, and he didn't raise his head to the two of them and ordered: "I will know the specific things after I arrive in the United States, in short, remember what I said, when I go to the United States, I only talk about business, not politics, and it is best to close my mouth with tape." ”

At five o'clock in the morning the next day, the Douglas jet from Hong Kong finally landed slowly and slowed down on the runway of Los Angeles International Airport.

Los Angeles has arrived.

Su Jingxian and his entourage got off the plane, traveled lightly, and walked out of the airport hall, and the landscape in front of them suddenly opened up.

The straight coastline stretches west from the direction of the airport, and although it is not yet dawn, the glass-domed terminals are illuminated with colorful neon lights and street lamps on both sides of the road.

"Boss, where is your ghost friend who came to pick you up?" Zhong Qiang, who vomited three times on the plane, held Deng Zhipeng's shoulder, and his voice was weak.

Outside the airport, there is a flow of passengers coming in and out, and on the opposite side of the road stands a group of people waiting to be picked up, holding various pick-up signs.

Su Jingxian's eyes wandered, and a smile appeared on his face after seeing a young American crowded in the crowd of pick-ups.

"Don't you know Chinese?" Su Jingxian said a word to Zhong Qiang, walked straight to the crowd of people who picked up the airport on the opposite side, and after coming to the young American, he politely said in English, "I'm Su Jingxian from Hong Kong, is it Mr. Thompson?" ”

Of course, Su Jingxian did not have the ability to predict the future, he could be sure that the young American in front of him was Thompson introduced to him by Jane, completely because of the pick-up light in the other party's hand.

On the pick-up light sign held by the American young Thompson, three words were written in Chinese - Su Jingxian.

Although the name is wrong, it does not affect the reading, compared to the handwritten pick-up sign held up by the other pick-up personnel around him, the glowing light sign in Thompson's hand is particularly eye-catching, which also reflects the importance that this American young man attaches to Su Jingxian, or the importance he attaches to the $10,000 honorarium.

"Mr. Sue?" The anticipating Thompson saw Su Jingxian walking forward to greet him, his face showed surprise, and he stretched out his hand to introduce himself, "Hello, I'm Thompson Ranbir, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Su Jingxian shook hands with the other party and smiled: "Professor William asked me to say hello to you and your father. ”

The two of them looked at each other without a trace as they talked.

At first glance, this young American named Thompson left a good impression on Su Jingxian, he was about thirty years old, wearing an avant-garde denim suit, without other strange embellishments, dressed very casually, and his natural blonde hair looked a little unkempt in the night breeze. While shaking hands, Su Jingxian found that Thompson's nails were cleanly trimmed, and the whole body did not look strong, but exuded vitality and slenderness.

However, what made Su Jingxian a little puzzled was that Jian Lianshi mentioned that Thompson had been injured on the battlefield, and now it seems that he is not disabled.

This doubt was quickly solved, and when Thompson put away the light sign and limped to a car parked on the side of the road, Su Jingxian showed a look of understanding.

"Mr. Su, I have booked a room at the nearest motel, if you and your companion are not disgusted, you can rest there for a while." A limp Thompson came to the car, opened the door and smiled at Su Jingxian and the two people behind him.

Su Jingxian nodded, sat in the co-pilot's seat in order to facilitate the conversation with Thompson, and said: "Thank you, but I don't have much time to come to the United States this time, if I can, I hope to solve the work problem as soon as possible." ”

"Of course, I have already contacted an editor of Junzi Magazine at the request of Mr. Su on the phone, and he is now looking for a home because the magazine refuses to give him a five-dollar salary increase." After Zhong Qiang and Deng Zhipeng sat down in the back row, Thompson started the car and said to Su Jingxian.

Su Jingxian leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes slightly, and praised it: "Very good." ”
