Volume 1: Life Mutation Chapter 10: Absent-mindedness
At 16:08 on the same day, the plane landed at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi International Airport. The group's staff in Thailand took Yang Lin and the three to a five-star hotel in the center of Bangkok.
In front of the hotel, Yang Lin and the three of them met the person in charge of the Thai side of the project, a lady surnamed Mao, and everyone around her called her Sister Mao. She was in her 40s, not tall, slightly chubby, and very stocky. She has dark skin, medium long hair, and always has a smile on her face, which seems to be very kind. But when she laughs, her facial features are crowded together, which makes it feel very unnatural. It was as if God had given her a sinister and cunning face, but she herself was trying to be kind.
It is said that this Manager Mao can be arranged here is also stained with Li Shipeng's light. When Li Shipeng first came, she was very attentive to Li Shipeng, busy before and after, and never left an inch, which won Li Shipeng's trust and appreciation. Later, the group had a fat cha who was sent to Thailand, and she took the initiative to apply, and Li Shipeng arranged her here.
Yang Fan doesn't have a good impression of this kind of person. She always felt that although this Sister Mao had a lovely smile on the surface, her gestures revealed a kind of treachery. Her eyes are very flickering when she looks at people, and the smile on her face is also very incongruous, except for the corners of her mouth that have been raised, there is a sad face between her eyebrows and eyes, she seems to be observing others all the time, but she hides herself deeply.
Sister Mao greeted Yang Lin very diligently, she stretched out her hand very early, took three steps and two steps to Yang Lin, and said, "Yang Gong, welcome to come." I'm the Thai counterpart in charge of your event, my name is Mao Yunfei. The hotel has been arranged for you, and the three of you are living alone, and the room is on the 18th floor. Also, Yang Gong, I just contacted China, and there was a problem with our exchange venue. Hey, it's all the negligence of those young people below, they have no experience, and they have made such a big mess.
However, I am already coordinating the change, and the original event will not change after 3 days. These days, the three of you can take a stroll around Bangkok and relax, and the rest of the trip may be tiring. The driver, Pony, has been in charge of the service of the three of you these days, and you can just tell him where you want to go. ”
"Pony, don't hurry up and give Yang Gong their luggage in!" Mao Yunfei said to the driver behind him with a gloomy face.
After the man agreed, he quickly took over the luggage of Yang Fan and the others, and then with the same calm face, he beckoned the waiter of the hotel to take the luggage of Yang Lin and the three of them to the hotel.
Yang Lin shook hands with Mao Yunfei and said, "Oh, then thank you Manager Mao." We are not familiar with the situation in Thailand, and everything is arranged by Manager Mao. ”
After Yang Yan and Yang Fan also smiled at her, the three of them entered the hotel and came to their respective rooms. The room is not bad, and it can be worthy of five-star standards, Yang Fan is lying on the soft bed, but the nervous mood is difficult to calm down, especially after coming to Thailand, Yang Fan faintly feels that this task is not so simple.
Yang Lin found Mao Yunfei, and the two were communicating some details of the event.
After a while, Yang Yan came to Yang Fan's room, where the sister and brother studied the attractions of Bangkok, preparing to use these rare two days to have a good time.
Yang Yan always looked excited, but Yang Fan was preoccupied, although he smiled and discussed the itinerary with Yang Yan, he kept subconsciously glancing at the black suitcase placed on the table.
The next two days will be relatively easy, Yang Lin is not a lively person, except for calling Liu Wen, he basically rests in the hotel. Yang Yan took Yang Fan to walk around Bangkok, the Grand Palace, Chinatown, Chao Phraya River, Wat Arun, and the floating market, completely unafraid of the hot weather and the deadly ultraviolet rays.
According to Yang Lin's requirements, both of them spent their own money to take the tour, and did not use the car and driver arranged by the company. Fortunately, both of them speak good English, and Bangkok is a tourist city, so they didn't encounter any problems.
However, Yang Fan's heart has been like pressing a stone in the past two days, and the activities after 3 days made him a little worried, and the Thai receptionist Mao Yunfei didn't feel good about him, so he was always in a nervous state. Thinking that Yang Yan also came to Thailand with him, Yang Fan's heart became even more nervous.
He has a very good relationship with Yang Yan, and Yang Yan has been taking care of him since he was a child, there are almost no secrets between them, and Yang Fan has been struggling with whether to tell Yang Yan the truth. He completely trusts Yang Yan, and even relies on Yang Yan very much, and several times, he wants to tell Yang Yan the truth and listen to her opinion. But I'm afraid that it's okay, just because of my sensitivity and suspicion, I ruined my sister's vacation mood. Yang Fan knew that the purpose of his sister's coming out this time was to play, so he kept controlling himself and barely pretending to be relaxed and happy.
On the second night of their arrival in Bangkok, the siblings arrived at the famous Khao San Road. Tomorrow is the agreed time for the exchange meeting, so the two of them are ready to relax at the end tonight.
Yang Fan doesn't like places like Khao San Road very much, and he says that this is a paradise for backpackers from all over the world. But I really saw the real scene, it was like two rows of ordinary grocery stores side by side, and all kinds of small stalls almost occupied the road, eating, drinking, wearing, local specialties and everything, mixed with fish and dragons. There are also middle-aged women with heavy makeup standing in front of small massage parlors, soliciting business in extremely unfamiliar languages, using Chinese and Japanese when they see Orientals, and English when they see Westerners, which is globalized.
When Yang Fan and his sister were shopping, there were occasionally some slightly fashionable young women pulling Yang Fan. Yang Fan was actually a little worried about the arrangement of the day after tomorrow in his heart, and it was really a little annoying to encounter this excessive "enthusiasm" again, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only politely refuse again and again.
But Yang Yan had a lot of fun, taking pictures for a while, looking at this and that. This will be eating mango while calling Liu Wen. She wanted to use WeChat video with Liu Wen, but Liu Wen didn't know how to use a smartphone at all, so she could only use the computer at home.
Before leaving, the sister and brother specially taught Liu Wen how to use the computer's QQ. In the past two days, everyone used various ways to help Liu Wen recall how to open the computer, how to open QQ, how to enter the password to log in, and how to connect to the video steps. However, the process is too complicated, and Liu Wen has never liked these things, so it is really difficult to learn.
Yang Fan regretted it a little, and knew that when he was leaving, he set a shortcut key for Liu Wen and set everything up, so that she could operate it with one click. He still overestimated his adoptive mother's ability to learn in this area, which was a huge mistake.
Yang Yan and Liu Wen communicated for another 10 minutes, and finally Yang Yan gave up the idea of video.
"Thanks, no need." Yang Fan once again rejected the "invitation" of a massage parlor usher.
Yang Yan also saw that her younger brother was a little uncomfortable. So, she grabbed Yang Fan's arm, rested her head on her brother's shoulder, and pretended to be a couple. Yang Fan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood his sister's intentions. Only then did he realize that single men were the key target of those massage parlor girls, and couples rarely encountered this kind of thing.
Yang Yan and Yang Fan are actually not related by blood, and there is no similarity in physiognomy. So the two of them are walking on the street so intimately, they are simply a young handsome man and a beautiful couple. Yang Fan's appearance is relatively delicate, and he is also in the same category as a handsome guy. Yang Yan is not only beautiful, but also has an outstanding temperament, and their fake couple has even attracted the attention of many people. Fortunately, the two grew up together, although they are not sisters and brothers, this kind of intimate behavior did not cause any discomfort, and Yang Fan's troubles of being pulled are indeed much less.
"Xiaofan, let's go eat, I'm a little hungry." Yang Yan took Yang Fan's arm and said.
"Well, I'm hungry too. But, sister, can we eat something different? It's been sour, spicy and fried these days, and I'm sick to my stomach when I eat it. Yang Fan looked at Yang Yan with an aggrieved face and said.
"Okay, I searched before I came, there is a restaurant called Ethos, which specializes in vegetarian food, let's try it." Yang Yan said as she began to follow the map to find the location of the restaurant.
The two followed the map to a small street across Khao San Road, where there was a strange shop on the main street called "Pink Pussy" with a pink nude female model wearing sunglasses standing in the window.
This store is really small, with red wooden tables and chairs, and it has a bit of a Japanese restaurant feel. The two found a place to sit by the door, and the owner, a dark-skinned Thai man about 40 years old, came over and asked in proficient Chinese: "What do you two eat, do you need to recommend our specialties?" ”
Yang Yan saw that he could speak Chinese, so she took out her mobile phone and said a few dish names in Chinese. It didn't take long for the three dishes to be served, lined up on the table.
Yang Yan introduced Yang Fan one by one on her mobile phone: "These are all online recommendations, this is his homemade chocolate cake; This is PI TA; This is Lasagna, a modified Italian dish. ”
Yang Yan danced with her eyebrows and pointed to each dish to introduce, while she began to taste them one by one, she made an expression of enjoyment for each dish, and when she ate the chocolate cake, she was intoxicated to the extreme, pointing to the cake and saying to Yang Fan: "Brother, try it, this cake... It's so delicious! Aren't you your favorite to eat tiramisu? This one is not bad, try it! ”
"Oh, I'll taste it." Yang Fan smiled and responded, just now he had been thinking about the activity, and when he saw Yang Yan's exaggerated expression, he noticed the three dishes side by side on the table. He spooned a small piece of black cake in his mouth, and the cake melted in his mouth, and it tasted really good.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? What's the matter, aren't you worried about money? Don't worry, I'll treat your sister to this meal. Yang Yan looked at Yang Fan a little absent-mindedly, so she put down the tableware and said.
Yang Fan also realized that he was acting too sensitive, and he didn't want Yang Yan to worry, so he immediately adjusted his mood and said, "Do you need to have a treat?" Your brother is going to be promoted when he goes back! It's just that the weather in Thailand is really hot, and it's so hot at night, you know I'm most afraid of the heat. ”
After speaking, Yang Fan picked up the tableware and began to vomit. In fact, apart from that bite of the cake, he barely tasted the taste of the next few dishes.
Yang Yan knew that Yang Fan was indeed the most afraid of heat, and thought that her younger brother might also be homesick. Yang Fan has been in love with his family since he was a child, and he is very dependent on his family, no matter who he leaves, he has to adapt for a while, but he is thin-skinned and never admits it. Thinking of this, Yang Yan just smiled faintly and didn't say anything more.
The siblings had just finished eating and settled the bill. Yang Fan's mobile phone rang, and it was Yang Lin calling.
After the phone was connected, Yang Lin said on the other end of the phone: "Xiaofan, you and your sister are back, Manager Mao called just now, tomorrow's itinerary is set, let's prepare a little." ”
"Okay, Dad, let's go back." After hanging up the phone, the sister and brother took a taxi back to the hotel and went straight to Yang Lin's room.
