In the lounge, it was the first time that I talked so much with Min Nolan. In addition to these conversations, I also asked her many questions about capital investment.
She also told me very patiently, and would tell me how to avoid these problems with the attitude of a person who has experienced it.
But in the end she advised me not to go too far. Even if I succeeded in the end, it might not be a good thing.
Our flight took off at 12:20 in the middle of the night. This was the first time in my life to go abroad, so I was inevitably a little excited.
At the same time, there is also a question that bothers me, that is: can I see An Lan immediately when I go there?
This is what I'm most looking forward to!
Even on this international flight, our seats are in first class.
Although I have never been abroad, I know that air tickets for international flights like this are ridiculously expensive even for economy class, and first class is twice as expensive.
After finding the corresponding seat and sitting down, Min Nolan's seat happened to be opposite me.
I asked her: "How much did you spend on this flight?"
"Why are you asking this?"
"Isn't this first class cheap?"
"It's okay." She said lightly.
But this made me even more curious, so I continued to ask: "How much is it?"
"One hundred and thirty thousand."
After hearing this number, I was so shocked that I opened my mouth.
It took me a while to react, and I swallowed hard and said, "Is it two or one?"
"Two."
Even two of them are enough to shock me.
One hundred and thirty thousand!
It is difficult for some families to earn 130,000 yuan a year. Our two air tickets are equivalent to the annual income of an average family.
I know that 130,000 yuan may not be a big deal to her, but I feel a little sick.
"One piece is sixty-five thousand, and I don't have the money to give it to you!" I shrugged and said.
"I didn't ask you to give it."
"That's so generous. Why don't you give me some more help?" I said jokingly.
Min Nolan suddenly turned his head and looked at me coldly.
"Oh, I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously." I smiled dryly.
"It's now like this, how can you still laugh?"
"Why not? Could it be that I cry for you?"
I am not heartless, I am very understanding. I used to be sad about some things for a long time, and even self-abuse.
But I don’t know when I started to change. Even if I encounter big things, I will laugh them off.
Maybe it was after Liang Jing passed away, maybe it was after I experienced such a blow
I stopped talking to Min Nolan because the plane had taken off smoothly.
I think looking down from the window, even though it is late at night, the night view of the city of Hong Kong is also very charming.
It wasn't until the plane climbed to a corresponding altitude that I looked away, then closed my eyes and rested.
The plane announcement just now said that this journey will take twelve hours. This is really the longest flight I have ever taken.
I want to take a nap and it's almost time to wake up.
But I couldn't sleep no matter what. It wasn't that the plane was noisy, on the contrary, it wasn't noisy at all.
But as soon as I closed my eyes, all I could think about was simulating the situation in which I would meet An Lan, and how I should tell her what I knew.
I hope she can come back with me and we can manage the company together. I think this is good.
I really couldn't sleep, so I had to find a movie and watch it.
Unknowingly, I finally fell asleep.
I thought I could sleep until dawn, but when I woke up, it was still dark outside the window.
I looked at the time. It was already seven o'clock in the morning, Beijing time. Logically speaking, it should be dawn.
But I soon remembered that we were on an international flight and should have passed the morning and evening line by now.
Many passengers on the plane were sleeping, so I went to the restroom and asked the stewardess to get some breakfast when I came back.
After breakfast, I didn't feel sleepy anymore.
Being bored, I had to find a TV series and started watching it. I don’t know how much time passed until the announcement on the plane started again.
"Passengers, there are still 40 minutes left before the plane will arrive at Edinburgh International Airport in London, England. Please continue to fasten your seat belts and do not move around randomly until the plane lands safely."
I then opened the window shutter and looked outside.
It finally dawned, and I looked at the time on my watch. It was already 12:30 noon, Beijing time, but it still seemed like morning here.
Min Nolan also woke up at this time, and I asked her: "Is it morning in England now?"
"Well, eight o'clock in the morning." She looked at her watch and said.
It was at the moment when the plane was about to land that my heart really started to get excited.
After the plane landed smoothly, it continued to taxi forward for a while before finally stopping at the platform entrance.
I followed Min Nolan off the plane. In this foreign country, I could only follow her closely.
At this moment, I am facing a completely unfamiliar environment. I can understand the language here to some extent, but it is a bit difficult for me to speak.
I think I also passed CET-6 in my English proficiency test. An excellent programmer must be proficient in English.
It's just that over the years, I only know how to read but rarely speak, so gradually I lose my ability to speak.
Looking at all the unfamiliar surroundings in front of me, I felt somewhat uncomfortable.
After following Min Nolan out of the airport lobby, we came to the parking lot and she made a phone call.
About ten minutes later, a Bentley Flying Spur stopped in front of us.
A foreigner wearing a suit and white gloves got out of the car. He came to Min Nolan, opened the rear door for her, and held the door frame with his hand.
Min Nolan immediately got into the car, and the foreigner said to me again: "Sir, please"
I nodded and got into the car.
Some people may not believe it, but this is my first time riding in a luxury car like Bentley. As far as I know, this Flying Spur sells for around 300 abroad.
For people like Min Nolan, it is not very expensive, but for me now, it is sky-high.
After I sat down, the foreigner returned to the cab and started smoothly.
In the car, Min Nolan kept his eyes closed and meditated.
And I kept looking out the car window. I was very interested in this strange city.
This is the world’s largest financial center!
After dozens of minutes of driving, the car drove into a manor.
As soon as I entered this manor, my eyes were opened!
It is completely a natural wetland park, surrounded by pavilions, pavilions, clear water and green spaces. It is also decorated in a European classical style, giving you a strong sense of the most noble and elegant atmosphere.
Sitting in the car, I couldn't help but ask Min Nolan: "You couldn't tell me that this is your home?"
"Is there a problem?" Min Nolan replied calmly.
I was beyond surprised. I saw rich people and people living in luxury houses.
But in London, where land is at a premium, how rich is it to live in such a large manor?
What's even more exaggerated is that the huge villa directly in front of the car looks like a castle.
At this moment, I finally felt how rich one of the three largest financial groups in Europe is!
