Volume 1: Life Mutation Chapter 12: A Sense of Foreboding
When Yang Lin and the others arrived at Loei Airport, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening. Out of the airport, they waited for the driver at the pick-up platform.
Anne and Nava were all around Chalunpong, and Nadi walked up to Yang Lin and said softly: "Yang Gong, Manager Mao explained before getting on the plane." They went to set up for tomorrow's event, but she had already arranged for a local driver to pick us up and take us to the hotel. Tomorrow's event is in Beichun County, which is more than 80 kilometers away from here, and we will stay there tonight. ”
While Nadi was talking, Charampong was already on the phone. Yang Fan didn't know Thai, but guessed he was probably contacting the vehicle that picked him up.
"Why is tomorrow's event so far away? What is that place in Pak Xuan County, I thought the event was arranged in Loei? Yang Fan asked in surprise.
Nadi also shook her head slightly and said: "Beichun County is not a big county seat, and if you go north, you will cross the Mekong River to Laos." As for why the location was placed there... I don't know.
In fact, Manager Mao also contacted us in the past two days, she said that they originally set the event in Pattaya City, but the temporary reason and location need to be changed, and when we were notified, it was said that it was in Loei, and the specific location was not decided. Because we are from Loei, we were hired, and we only know the exact location. ”
Yang Yan asked with a puzzled expression: "Dad, our publicity activities should not be arranged in a slightly more lively place." Bangkok and Phuket are much better than here, how can they be arranged in such a remote place? ”
Yang Lin frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "I don't know about this." Anyway, Manager Mao is also there, we will know when we get to the hotel or meet tomorrow and ask. ”
Chalunphong said a few words to Nadi in Thai, and Nadi turned her head to Yang Lin and said, "Yang Gong, the car to pick us up will arrive soon, and the hotel in Beichun County has also been arranged." ”
As they spoke, two Toyota SUVs stopped in front of them, and a local Thai driver got out of each of the two cars, greeted Charum Phong and began to carry his luggage to the car. The Chalunpong family walked in front in one car, and Yang Lin and his son followed in another car, and the car drove for about two hours and stopped in front of a hotel lobby.
Yang Lin and a few people got out of the car, and Nadi came over and said, "Yang Gong, this is the best hotel in Beichun County arranged by Manager Mao." The three of you will rest here today, tomorrow's activity will start at half past ten, and we will leave on time at 9 o'clock. I will be waiting for you in the lobby on the first floor, and if you need anything, we will stay in the innermost room on the same floor, you can contact us at any time. Oh, and she said tomorrow's arrangements are in your room, so don't forget to check them out when you get back. ”
"Okay, then you've worked hard. We're fine, let's get the kids to rest. Yang Lin said with a grateful face.
After saying goodbye to Yang Lin and his son, the Chalunpong family left, and the couple held a child in their arms, and the children were already asleep.
The level of this hotel is similar to that of a domestic express hotel, the location seems to be in the core area of the county, but the surrounding environment and infrastructure are relatively average. With the help of the street lamp, Yang Fan vaguely saw that the whole street was not too long, and it was relatively narrow, and there should be some small doors such as merchants on the opposite side, and there were no tall buildings in the whole area, which felt inferior to the small county towns of third-tier cities in China. Moreover, Thailand is a country with a relatively rich nightlife, but at this point, the streets are basically empty, and it seems that it is indeed not a bustling place.
Yang Fan also felt more and more strange, Yang Yan was right, since it was propaganda, how could it be chosen in such a remote place? He was really relieved, didn't go back to his room, and dragged his luggage directly to Yang Lin's room.
After entering the room, Yang Fan closed the door, frowned and said, "Dad, why am I getting more and more nervous!" Why did you say we chose this place? ”
Yang Lin said while packing his luggage: "Don't you know this, isn't the most important thing in this work those two samples?" ”
Yang Lin pointed to the briefcase that he had been walking from in the past few days, and continued: "Any exchange activities are all disguises, isn't it just to cover for this matter." Li Shipeng also said that the handover of the sample this time is not in accordance with the rules, of course, it can't be fanfare! ”
Yang Fan walked to the briefcase and put it on the table, and asked, "Dad, then you said that we should just find a place, set a time, and give this thing directly to the other party?" Why are you bothering to engage in this exchange activity? ”
Yang Lin finished sorting out his luggage, changed into slippers, sat on the bed, and said, "Didn't President Li say that day, this thing can't go through official channels." I guess that's a cover-up. It may also be that those people in the group are afraid that we will think too much, so no matter what, they have to do something to perfunctory us. I don't care much about this now, it's okay to make do in Thailand, as long as the group can fulfill its promise to our father and wife after returning home. ”
Yang Fan still had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't say anything more, after all, there will be people from the group tomorrow, and there shouldn't be any big problems. He suddenly found a piece of A4 paper on the bedside table, and when he picked it up, it showed the flow of tomorrow's activities. Yang Fan was just about to take a closer look, when the doorbell rang.
Yang Fan walked over to open the door, Yang Yan walked in, it is estimated that she also has some doubts about tomorrow's activities, and came to ask her father.
Seeing that Yang Fan was looking at something, Yang Yan asked, "Xiaofan, what are the arrangements for tomorrow?" ”
Yang Fan picked up the A4 paper and read, "Oh, that's right. First of all, Manager Mao's opening remarks; Then I would like to introduce the guests present, the main guests are Dad, a Thai Muay Thai representative named Tirad Weseigo, who should be about the same age as his father when he looks at the photos, the county leader of Beichun County who funded this event, and 1 pharmaceutical company partner of our group;
Here's Dad and Tillard performing their respective martial arts routines; Finally, there's the buffet. It's 90 minutes in total, and it's nothing special to watch. By the way, Dad, you're going to perform tomorrow, and you're not good at routines. ”
Before Yang Lin could answer, Yang Yan asked first: "Xiaofan, I remember you told me before, isn't this event mainly your pharmaceutical company?" What is your group's pharmaceutical partner doing, and do you need to interact with him? ”
"Oh, it's this thing next to you, it's a sample of a new drug developed by our pharmaceutical company, I'll give this to him after the event ends tomorrow." I'll see, it should be at the last buffet. After Yang Fan finished speaking, he put down the A4 paper and sat on the bed close to Yang Lin.
"Dad, Xiaofan, you don't have anything to hide from me. Just for such a thing, I also want to have a martial arts exchange meeting, isn't it okay to go through business channels and send it directly by courier or hand? Yang Yan asked with a serious face.
Yang Fan saw that Yang Lin didn't want to hide it, but he didn't know how to speak, so he said directly: "Sister, that's the case." This sample may be a little special, you know that many companies now have some side play with the rules when they are developing drugs, and this cannot go through the formal business process and channels, so the company asked me and my father to send it through this form.
Well, my dad and I thought it was a little weird. However, our company is a large central enterprise group, a state-owned enterprise, it is estimated that it is for rapid development, and it should not involve anything illegal. Dad and I both thought so, so we agreed. ”
"Do you know what's in there?" Yang Yan asked, pointing to the briefcase.
"I don't know, this thing is absolutely secret until it goes public. And the group said that this time it is not officially put into production. It's just that the production capacity and level of foreign partners are stronger than ours, and it is estimated that many experiments will be carried out before they can apply for patents and formal production and sales. ”
Yang Fan deliberately didn't tell Yang Yan about the genetic code institute, not wanting her to worry. Moreover, he thinks that there is no need, in fact, the most important thing is the things inside, that is, there are risks and things inside, so more is better than less. He knew that although his sister usually seemed to be an optimist, she would be shrewd when she encountered this kind of thing, and she would definitely ask for the bottom of the question.
Yang Lin saw that Yang Yan was still a little uneasy, so he comforted: "Girl, don't worry, it's nothing." We'll be fine tomorrow if you give things to others, and you two can play in Thailand for a few more days, or we can just go home. I thought about it, and after I went back, I would go to President Li, such a big group, so that it would not play tricks with us. ”
"Yes, sister. Today's day is another plane, and it's a car. I'm tired, I'm going back to sleep, good night, Dad. Yang Fan said and walked out of Yang Lin's room. Yang Yan saw that she was left alone, and returned to her room after saying goodbye to her father.
The next morning, Yang Lin and the three of them had breakfast, left the room, and came to a hall. Yesterday's two SUVs were already waiting, but the Charampong couple was not in sight.
Yang Fan took a closer look at the surrounding buildings. If you look at it during the day, it's not as good as last night. At night, the lights are dim, and I only see rows of merchants, but when I look at them during the day today, some of them are not merchants at all, but they just hang a sign in their house and buy some groceries and daily necessities. And all of them are in Thai, which also proves Yang Fan's guess yesterday that this is indeed not a prosperous place, and there is no business activities or tourism vacations.
Yang Fan suddenly felt that his suitcase moved, and subconsciously looked down to see that it was little Nava standing next to him, and one hand was on the handle of the suitcase, it seemed that he was going to help Yang Fan with his luggage.
Anne, who was standing on the side, said in very fluent Chinese: "Mom said, we must do what we can, and we can't eat and drink for nothing." ”
Yang Fan was amused by them and pinched Nava's little face. Yang Lin and Yang Yan next to him were also crying and laughing, on the one hand, they were pleased that these two little guys were sensible, but on the other hand, it also confirmed a truth, the children of the poor have long been in charge. It seems that the actual living conditions of their family are really a little worse than what Nadi described yesterday.
At this time, the drivers of the two cars also saw Yang Lin and them, nodded their heads, and hurriedly helped with their luggage.
Nadi trotted all the way from the hotel lobby and said apologetically, "Yang Gong, I'm sorry. I don't know if I ate something bad yesterday, I've been having diarrhea today, and I've been delayed a little bit, but it should be too late. ”
"It's okay, it's still early. Why didn't you see Mr. Charampong? Yang Lin asked.
"Just now he asked the front desk of the hotel, there is a pharmacy at the next intersection, and he went to buy medicine for me. We'll just drive over and pick him up, so please get in the car first. Nadi said.
"Okay, let's go." After Yang Lin finished speaking, he took Yang Fan and Yang Yan into the car behind, and another car led the way in front, and Nadi took the two children to get in the car and set off.
The car drove for 2 minutes and stopped at an intersection, and Chalumphong also got into the car with a box of medicine in his hand.
