When he opened the door, he saw that it was his 'partner' on the plane, foreigner Jimmy, and Long Ziyou quickly invited him in.
"Mr. Long, it's just a small thing, but it's not disrespectful. I'm here to express my gratitude. Please accept it!" As soon as he sat down, Jimmy gave Long Ziyou a gift, and he was right.
Chinese.
Seeing that Jimmy spoke Chinese so well, Long Ziyou was quite surprised, but what surprised him even more was what Jimmy said when giving gifts. Those who didn't know better would have thought that he was born and raised in China. This gift-giving
How can you speak so smoothly!
"Haha, if it's too expensive, I won't accept it." Long Ziyou knew that Americans have the habit of opening gifts in person, so he naturally opened the gift box and found a beautiful silver-gray tie. He fell in love with it at first sight.
"Jimmy, I have to say, I like your gift very much."
"Haha, as long as you like it." Jimmy was very happy to see Long Ziyou accepted the gift.
"Mr. Long, actually I came to visit today. In addition to expressing my gratitude to you, I also want to ask you to do something for me." The look on Jimmy's face became serious and he handed a business card to Long Ziyou. In fact,
Jimmy has long wanted to find Long Ziyou, but Long Ziyou has been cooperating with the CIA and FBI investigations these days, and it was not until today that he found the opportunity.
Long Ziyou took the business card and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Are you a reporter from the BBC?"
"Yes, I want to conduct an exclusive interview with Mr. Long, please do it!" Jimmy begged with a serious look on his face.
"Jimmy, do you know why all the pictures and videos about me on the Internet have disappeared?" Long Ziyou did not answer Jimmy directly, but asked rhetorically.
"I know that both your government and our government are afraid that you will be retaliated by terrorists, so the pictures and videos about you on the Internet will disappear without a trace." Jimmy nodded, "But Mr. Long, you can rest assured.
, my interview is only audio-recorded, not video-recorded! You don’t have to worry about us publishing your photo.”
"This..." Long Ziyou really couldn't refuse Jimmy. After all, Jimmy had shared difficulties with him and helped him. After pondering for a while, he continued: "Jimmy, this matter is mine.
I can’t make the decision myself, so I’ll ask my teacher for advice.”
"No problem, I can wait for the result of your request." Seeing that Long Ziyou did not reject him directly, Jimmy was very happy.
Long Ziyou made a phone call to Lan Jianfeng and told Jimmy's identity and the fact that he wanted to interview him. Lan Jianfeng did not dare to make the decision without authorization, so he made another phone call back to China to ask for instructions from Tan Daoru. Tan Daoru had a headache.
He didn't dare to make the decision, so he went to the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and principal Zhou Mingli for instructions.
After pondering for a while, Zhou Mingli gave the answer: Yes, but do not involve domestic political affairs, and do not express views on international events.
Tan Daoru conveyed Zhou Mingli's instructions to Lan Jianfeng, and Lan Jianfeng conveyed them to Long Ziyou. The entire request for instructions only took about six or seven minutes.
"Okay, Jimmy, I can accept your interview." Putting down the phone, Long Ziyou said to Jimmy.
"Thank you so much, Long!" Jimmy's face was a little congested with excitement.
"Haha, you're welcome, let's get started." Long Ziyou said with a smile.
"Okay, let's start right away!" Jimmy immediately took out a voice recorder from his bag and tried it, and it was normal.
"Long, everyone knows that your marksmanship is very good. Can you tell me how you developed your marksmanship? Do you have any secrets?" Jimmy started his interview.
"I personally like playing with guns very much. In addition, my previous job was as a police officer, so I naturally developed good marksmanship. As for the secret, I can't say, it's just five words: interest and hard work." Long Ziyou smiled.
replied.
…
Jimmy's exclusive interview lasted for a full forty minutes. In fact, Long Ziyou finished telling what happened on the plane very quickly, but Jimmy kept asking questions, including his state of mind at the time and every detail.
This made Long Ziyou very depressed.
After the interview, Jimmy left with satisfaction. Before leaving, he did not forget to give Long Ziyou his contact information, and then asked for Long Ziyou's contact information.
Not long after Jimmy left, Lan Jianfeng summoned Long Ziyou and other fifteen people for a meeting in the small conference room of the hotel.
"I believe everyone knows that our visit and inspection has been put on indefinite hold by the United States because of what happened a few days ago. Yesterday, I asked Principal Tan for instructions. Just now, I got instructions from Principal Tan." Lan Jianfeng said seriously.
Looking around for a week, he glanced at the faces of the fifteen people one by one, and continued: "The school leaders have decided that except for Long Ziyou and Duan Ying, everyone else, including me, will return to China tomorrow, and the inspection activities will be postponed until three months later.
, that is, before graduation.”
After Lan Jianfeng announced the school leaders' decision, everyone fell into silence. It can be said that the school leaders' decision was not too unexpected. After the hijacking incident a few days ago, everyone felt that they could save their lives.
That was already the greatest blessing among misfortunes. How could one be in the mood to compete for those places for further study? Besides, even if they fought, they couldn't win against Long Ziyou and Duan Ying, so everyone was open-minded and had a good attitude.
"You guys have something you can say?" Lan Jianfeng said again.
"Director Lan, we have no objection to the school leadership's decision. Ziyou and Duan Ying are the best in our group. They deserve their places for further study. We all support it, don't you think so?" Lu Bojun
The first thing to say.
"Of course, we all support it." Others also agreed.
At noon the next day, planes had resumed taking off and landing. The atmosphere at the La International Airport was still very tense. Every step had a policeman and every five steps a wolf dog. The security was very tight. Naturally, the security check measures for boarding the plane were much stricter than usual. Every day
Passengers than unboxing inspection.
The serious atmosphere at the airport seemed to be a little sad. In this atmosphere, Long Ziyou and Duan Ying parted ways with their class teacher Lan Jianfeng and their classmates, and boarded the plane to New York and back to Yangzhou.
After getting on the plane, there were only two people this time. Duan Ying naturally took Long Ziyou, but she still didn't talk to Long Ziyou much. This made Long Ziyou feel strange. Duan Ying didn't seem to pay much attention to her these days.
, Logically speaking, after the shared hardships in the past few days, the relationship between the two should have taken a further step forward. How come they have become estranged instead?
In fact, Long Ziyou still doesn't understand women's hearts very well. Duan Ying is a conservative person and a married woman. What she said on the plane that day was because she thought that she and others were doomed.
It can be said that it was the biggest secret in her heart. But the problem now is that both she and Long Ziyou survived, and they were not seriously injured, so how could she have the nerve to face Long Ziyou.
Duan Ying ignored him, and Long Ziyou couldn't talk to her shamelessly to avoid being thought to have any intentions, so he simply closed his eyes and listened to the music to relax.
In fact, Duan Ying is quite conflicted now. She is embarrassed to talk to Long Ziyou. It can be seen that Long Ziyou ignores her, which makes her feel a little angry. She can't figure out why she is angry.
Duan Ying, who was secretly sulking, also followed Long Ziyou's lead and put on headphones to listen to music. Maybe music can soothe people's mood. After listening to a few songs, her mood calmed down and she also
I figured something out.
"Climbing, the speed pushed me to the back of the chair, and the blurry city slowly flew out of my sight..." When the plane took off, Long Ziyou suddenly remembered a song he liked very much - "Thirty Thousand Thousand" by Dick and the Cowboys.
"Ft." Although his mood at this time was very different from that in the song, one thing was the same, and that was hesitation.
Being in a strange country, most of the people he saw were people with different skin colors from his own. Thinking that he was about to start a strange life here, Long Ziyou couldn't help but feel a little hesitant. The hijacking incident that happened a few days ago had already filled his heart.
Enthusiasm is extinguished.
"Ah..." Suddenly, the plane that was flying smoothly in the sky was bumpy. The frightened Duan Ying instinctively crawled into the embrace that made her feel safe.
"It's okay, Sister Ying, it's just the air current." Long Ziyou gently patted Duan Ying's back twice and comforted her.
In fact, people who often fly know that it is common for airplanes to encounter turbulence. After the turbulence, Duan Ying also understood that she was making too much fuss. When she saw the people next to her looking at her with surprise, she wished she was on the floor.
There is a slit you can drill through.
In fact, if people around him knew that Duan Ying had experienced a hostage-taking incident by terrorists a few days ago, they might not look at Duan Ying in such a way.
Slowly leaving Long Ziyou's generous chest, Duan Ying's face looked a bit shy and embarrassed. Seeing a hint of teasing in Long Ziyou's eyes, Duan Ying rolled her eyes at him angrily, "It's so bad.
You come to make fun of me too!"
"No way, Sister Ying, please don't wrongly accuse a good person!" Long Ziyou shrugged with an innocent look. This action was quite a bit like doing as the locals do. I believe those who often watch American movies or TV series will know that Americans
I especially like to shrug.
"Yes!" Duan Ying lightly punched Long Ziyou's arm.
This slapstick melted away the barrier between the two. They were talking and laughing all the way to the moment they got off the plane. People who didn't know better thought they were a couple.
After getting off the plane, Long Ziyou and Duan Ying got into a taxi. As soon as they got in, the fat black driver greeted them and asked them where they were going.
"New York University." Longzi lobbied for the destination.
"Are you two here to study abroad? Are you coming to the United States first?" After the car started, Long Ziyou, a black man of unknown age, struck up a conversation with the two of them seemingly casually.
"Yes, it's the first time." Long Ziyou nodded honestly, but before he finished speaking, Duan Ying tugged on his clothes, and then whispered in his ear in Chinese: "Don't say it's the first time.
America, otherwise these black drivers will deliberately drive in circles, and in that case, we will have to pay two or three times more fares."
