Chapter 175: Fanwai 2
In mid-February, California saw a heavy snowfall.
Ji Chenchu and his team landed in Los Angeles in southwestern California, with a group of seven people. Just out of the airport, a cold wind hit, fortunately, on this trip, the other party arranged someone to pick up the plane, and they did not wait in the cold wind.
got into the car, Ji Chenchu leaned on the window and looked outside. At this time, it was late at night, perhaps because of the heavy snow that caused the delay of the plane, or perhaps because of the snow on the road, there were many cars on the road of the airport, and there were some traffic jams.
It was warm and quiet in the car. The representative sitting in front cleared his throat and said, "If Miss Ji doesn't mind, I'll turn on the news, today is the Chinese Chinese New Year's Eve." ”
Is it Chinese New Year's Eve? After going abroad for a long time, she often doesn't remember the days. Ji Chenchu's eyes sank and he retracted his gaze, and then smiled slightly: "Of course I don't mind." ”
As the representative turned on the news, the sound of fireworks echoed in the car, and the representative smiled: "It's really lively." ”
Ji Chenchu nodded in response. The representative saw that she didn't want to continue the topic, and closed her mouth in amusement.
This was the last day of Ji Chenchu's seventh year abroad, and on this day of that year, when she was reunited with her family, she sat alone in the deserted airport, waiting for a flight to France. At that time, it was also a heavy snowfall, and at five o'clock in the morning, she boarded the plane and disappeared into the brightly lit Jiangcheng.
Why did she go? It's been too long, she can't remember? No, just reluctant to remember.
The representative answered a phone call, and in the words, Ji Chenchu heard something about tomorrow's speech, and she turned her head to look out the window.
The representative hung up the phone and turned around and wanted to talk to Ji Chenchu. Seeing her looking out the window in a daze, she wanted to speak again and again. She looks good when she laughs, but she doesn't like to laugh, and she has laughed twice since he first saw Ji Chen.
Once, he greeted her at the airport, and she smiled out of politeness. Once, just now he asked her to start the news, and she apologized and smiled because of her gaffe. But no matter which one it is, it will distance her from others very far, and she will not offend or be close to others.
And at this moment, in her eyes looking out the window, there was longing, but more sadness. She seemed to be hiding her emotions, and his intuition told him that Ji Chenchu had a story on him. He couldn't help but wonder, what was going on? It can make a person cold to this point.
"Deputy?" Ji Chenchu shouted suspiciously.
Hearing this, the representative was slightly embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, I'm distracted." ”
Ji Chenchu shook his head: "What's the matter?" ”
The representative nodded, and handed the notebook in his hand to Ji Chenchu: "This is the list of participants in tomorrow's speech, you can look at it first." There is also a speech scene arrangement, you see what is still missing, I will ask someone to add. ”
Ji Chenchu took it and looked at it. Praised: "It's good, there's nothing missing." ”
Just as the representative took back the notebook, Ji Chenchu saw a familiar name on the screen, and his face changed. Shocked, he said, "Can you show me the list again?" ”
"Okay." The representative also noticed that something was wrong with her, and the gentleman nodded and gave her the thing.
Ji Chenchu took it. Gu Chengnan's name pierced his gaze, and his hand shook and almost dropped the notebook on the car.
The representative asked with concern, "Miss Ji?" Are you okay? ”
Ji Chenchu shook his head and handed back the notebook, looking out the window again. Her heart hurt as if she had been twisted by a knife, and after many years, she never thought that she would see these three words in such a way. She thought she had forgotten everything, but she didn't. The curtain of the past poured into her mind like a flood of beasts, or maybe it was awakening.
Everything in the past, Ji Chenchu's breathing was not smooth, she clutched her chest and gasped, not only frightened the deputies, but also frightened the staff of her peers.
The representative called her over and over again: "Miss Ji, Miss Ji, Miss Ji......"
After a few minutes, Ji Chenchu came to his senses slightly, looked at them all looking at him with worried eyes, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry." ”
"Miss Ji, do you want to take you to the hospital?" The representative asked. She looked at Ji Chenchu at this moment, her face was pale and a little worried.
Ji Chenchu shook his head, and only after his emotions calmed down a little bit did he say, "No need, it's probably too tired to rest well." ”
The representative nodded. Of course, he knew that this was Ji Chenchu's excuse, but if he debunked it, he was afraid that she would be even more uncomfortable, so he smiled and said, "You have a good rest tonight." ”
Everyone else also saw that she was abnormal, they had worked together for many years, and no one had heard Ji Chenchu talk about what she was like before, and they could all see that she was a person with secrets. Everyone knows that no one wants to tear her down, this hard-working, stubborn girl.
Ji Chenchu's thoughts were still on the list, to be precise, on that person. That person, the person she had loved for so many years, the person she had forgotten for nearly eight years, just the appearance of a name made her remember everything.
When they arrived at the hotel, the representative arranged for them to stay and briefly explained tomorrow's itinerary.
It was late at night, the representative did not stay long, and after the representative left, several other colleagues also went back to their respective rooms to sleep.
Only Ji Chenchu, in the dark room, lying on the bed tossing and turning and unable to sleep, all he thought about was Gu Chengnan.
She finally gave up sleeping, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, the light from elsewhere shining into the room from the floor-to-ceiling window, Ji Chenchu crossed his arms and watched Los Angeles in the early morning and fell into his own thoughts.
Gu Chengnan, have you come to Los Angeles?
......
Nine o'clock in the morning.
Ji Chenchu led the team to the venue, which was a new drug launch conference held by an anti-cancer drug research institute funded by Shaw Group, and Ji Chenchu, as the person in charge of this research project, needed to give a speech on stage.
The attendees were people from all over the world who have contributed to the medical industry. What Ji Chenchu has to do is just make an opening speech and a speech, and the director of the institute is responsible for the rest.
There were about 500 people in the venue, and Ji Chenchu looked at everyone in the venue before taking the stage, but she didn't find that familiar figure, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
When the host called her on, she calmly walked onto the stage, picked up the microphone, and talked endlessly about the speech and the speech memorized in advance. From the beginning of his arrival in the United States, communication was a problem, and now he can finish a three-page English speech in one go, and Ji Chenchu has paid a lot.
After the speech, there was thunderous applause from the audience, and her colleagues gave her a thumbs up, and she was relieved at that moment.
The press conference was successfully completed, and the group returned to the hotel, ready to fly back to New York overnight.
The representative was in charge of their itinerary, and in the lobby of the hotel, he held a bouquet of roses, walked towards Ji Chenchu, and stopped in front of her: "Miss Ji, when I checked out, the front desk said that there was a bouquet of your flowers." ”
