An international flight from Fuso Osaka landed at the Capital International Airport. Wang Yaocheng and his party walked out of the international airport. The scorching sun shone down and they couldn't help but look up at the sky.
The dazzling sun hangs high in the sky, spreading endless light and heat. Even through sunglasses, you can feel the heat.
During this global journey of tens of thousands of kilometers, I was still a mainlander when I left the country, and when I came back, I had a Hong Kong registered permanent residence. It was really touching.
"Boss, let's go to the hotel quickly. It's too hot outside."
"Haha! Okay."
A group of four people hailed a Toyota Crown that was parked at the airport. There were two big yellow characters "Shouqi" printed on the door. It was considered the best taxi at the airport.
If you look at the exit of the Capital Airport, you will see people queuing up so tightly that you can’t see the yellow faces at the beginning and end. People in Yanjing City commonly call them “locusts.”
The yellow noodles are cheap and good, starting at 5 yuan for 3 kilometers, which is very affordable.
The eldest brother who drove the Toyota Crown taxi was a middle-aged man in his 30s. Wearing white gloves, he put the four people's gifts in the trunk, got in and drove with a serious look on his face.
As the Crown car drove off the ramp of the international airport, Wang Yaocheng said:
"Brother driver, please find us a hotel that is close to Chang'an Street and is clean and hygienic."
The taxi man's energy, which he had been holding in for a few minutes, suddenly broke. He grinned and said:
"Okay! Do you like Yanjing Hotel?"
"This is an old-brand foreign-related hotel. It's close to Wangfujing Street. It takes five minutes to walk to Tiananmen Square and the Great Hall of the People. The environment is first-class."
"Let me tell you, at first I thought you were a foreign guest. I never thought about where you came from when you spoke Chinese. How about traveling abroad to catch up?"
Wang Yaocheng said, "I am from Jiangsu Province, but I have just obtained Hong Kong household registration, so I am not considered an outsider."
"I'm sorry, let's switch exports to domestic sales! Then we don't need to live apart. We will be one family after 1997."
"Yes, brother is right."
Wang Yaocheng couldn't help but laugh. He originally thought that the taxi man was a serious person, but he didn't expect that the chatterbox would open up and he could talk about the drastic changes in the international situation to the giant bear in the north. What he said was very clear and logical.
Therefore, the men in Yanjing City are all commentators on the international situation.
The Crown car drove smoothly all the way to the Yanjing Hotel. In the foyer, the taxi man enthusiastically helped to take out all the luggage.
"Thank you, Brother Hai, we can just take these ourselves, please excuse me!"
"Don't bother me, why are you so polite? When you get here, you are going home. We are your mother's family, right?"
Wang Yaocheng smiled and nodded: "Brother Hai is saying that it's me who's in trouble."
"That's right. If you want to take a morning walk and eat some traditional specialties in these 49 cities, just call me on the bb machine and say hello. It's convenient here anyway.
The nationally famous Black Panther band knows that Dou Wei lives in our alley, and we have watched this child grow up."
"Okay, you can show us around in these two days."
"It's just a matter of words. There's no need to drive the crown car from the company. It's too expensive. I'll take you around on my bicycle tomorrow. I guarantee your satisfaction."
"Thank you very much! Definitely."
After bidding farewell to the enthusiastic taxi man, the four of them stayed at the Yanjing Hotel. Among the people traveling with them, in addition to Mr. Huo Jiaguang and Peter Wu, there was also a Chinese-American lawyer named Billy.
Billy is from Baodao, 34 years old, a middle-aged elite man with a bit of a funny personality, and one of the legal team of Red Hat.
He came to the United States with his parents when he was a child, graduated from the law department of Stanford University in the United States, and worked in a famous law firm, specializing in civil litigation and commercial torts, so all his behaviors and habits are Western-oriented.
"Boss, you are a Hong Konger, do you have the right to be so polite to them? They are just a bunch of people who are just trying to beg you."
A group of four people dragged their suitcases onto the elevator. Billy asked abruptly, with a condescending sense of superiority in his words, which made Wang Yaocheng suddenly turn cold:
"Although I have a Hong Kong registered permanent residence, I am an out-and-out Chinese. This ancient land has raised me up, and I have an extremely deep love for it.
Here, people from all over the world are Chinese, with the same yellow skin, dark eyes, and the same blood flowing.
Billy, you are of American nationality, but don’t forget that the blood of Chinese people is also flowing through you.
I just hope that you can treat the Chinese people equally and put away that condescending attitude. If you cannot respect the Chinese people, you will not be able to perform your duties well, because you have no sense of identity with this ancient land."
"Oh! I'm sorry, boss. I will try my best to understand this ancient land. Please give me a chance." Billy didn't expect the boss's reaction to be so intense, and he suddenly felt a little stupid.
"Only once, never again."
"Thank you! Boss, I will keep it in mind."
A "ding" sound
The elevator stopped on the 12th floor, and Wang Yaocheng walked out without saying a word, leaving only Billy in cold sweat.
Mr. Huo Jiaguang and Peter Wu walked out immediately without trying to comfort Billy, which he needed to understand by himself.
The boss will always be the boss, and your uncle will always be your uncle.
Don't talk nonsense just because you are approachable. It's hard to find three-legged toads in this world, but there are plenty of two-legged Harvard graduates.
The four people in the group all lived on the 12th floor. Mr. Wang Yaocheng and Mr. Huo Jiaguang lived in a business suite, and the other two lived in a standard single room. The treatment was very different.
About seven o'clock
The last ray of sunset has just fallen into the horizon, the air is still filled with a dry temperature, the cicadas are chirping, and the ancient city of Yanjing has entered a quiet time every day.
Without the noise of traffic during the day, at night, the wide Chang'an Avenue occasionally passed by a yellow-faced car, which was rare and quiet.
Wang Yaocheng came to the hotel lobby wearing a casual outfit. He wore water-brushed blue jeans on his legs, Nike classic red and white sneakers, and a light cotton T-shirt on his upper body. He looked young and sporty, very youthful.
vitality.
Others can't tell at all that this casual outfit is worth more than $5,000.
On my feet are only the air jordan 5 series (Jordan fifth generation) limited signature Nike sneakers, with a classic translucent rubber outsole design. It is a classic model that leads the trend of sports shoe design and is worth more than 3,600 US dollars.
Wang Yaocheng sat relaxedly on the classic wooden sofa in the lobby. He was a little bored waiting for others, so he picked up a magazine "Popular Cinema" and flipped through it.
on magazine cover
A beautiful girl was wrapped in a yellow bedsheet, raising her left hand and smiling youthfully. The entire scene was covered in yellow bedsheets, with only her bare right arm exposed.
She also had a yellow towel tied around her head, as if she had just come out of the shower. She was very happy and had a strong sense of nostalgia for the times.
The aesthetics of the magazine... I am speechless.
Wang Yaocheng's eyelids twitched as he glanced at the name of the beautiful actress. It turned out to be Qu Ying, which really shocked him.
I looked at the date again and saw that this was the October 1991 issue of "Popular Film" magazine. It really tested one's nerves.
Wang Yaocheng briefly flipped through it, full of nostalgia.
He put down the magazine and looked at the elevator entrance. Mr. Huo Jiaguang, whom he had arranged to go shopping with, had not yet come down, but he saw two young girls standing aside and whispering, as if they were quite mysterious.
Seeing Wang Yaocheng looking over, the two young girls poked each other and walked over together.
Uh...what's going on?
"I'm sorry, sir, can I communicate with you in English?"
"Okay, why not?"
"Maybe this is your first time coming to China. I would like to ask you what impression you have of this ancient country? What are the shortcomings in economic development?"
Well……
What's going on?
Is such a high-level question a reporter’s interview?
Wang Yaocheng answered in English;
"I'm sorry! I feel like I don't have the right to speak on such an important issue. This requires serious research and scientific demonstration. It's impossible to draw conclusions easily. Just like chatting now, I think it's better to talk about lighter topics.
For example, where are you two girls from? Can you introduce yourselves?"
The two young girls looked back in shock, laughed to themselves, and even forgot to introduce themselves;
"Hehe, we are both juniors at Huaqing University, majoring in liberal arts. I am He Yan, and my classmate is Chen Jingyi. We have nothing to do during the summer vacation, and we want to practice English with foreign guests, so..."
So found me.
Wang Yaocheng felt a little ashamed, which was not obvious under the light. He just saw two young girls coming over and started chatting up, so he really thought wrongly.
With some compensating emotions, Wang Yaocheng said cheerfully;
"It's okay to practice English conversation. It's free anyway, but you two don't need to call me a foreign guest. Let me introduce yourselves. Wang Yaocheng. I will be a sophomore at Jinling University when school starts. Well, I'm from the Computer Science Department."
At this time, He Yan and Chen Jingyi looked at each other, both blushing.
He Yan has a more cheerful personality and switches to Chinese to express anger;
"You pretended to be so high that you and I were dumbfounded and didn't understand. We were fooled into being stunned by you. Tell me, little brother, what should we do during this holiday?"
Um……
It's my fault!
He Yan and Chen Jingyi put down their burdens and sat relaxedly on either side of Wang Yaocheng, making playful and fierce gestures, showing their white teeth, as if they were gnashing their teeth.
It looks like it would be really troublesome if I didn't give an explanation.
Wang Yaocheng couldn't laugh or cry, he couldn't reason with women, and he quickly raised his hands to surrender;
"I have a solution. Aren't you two seniors going to practice speaking English? My partner and I happen to be pretty good at English. We have been working in Yanjing City these days. The two seniors can come to me at any time. Never
decline."
"Hmph! We are both outstanding students at Yenching University and junior students at Jinling University. Do you think we really need you to practice our spoken English? Phew!"
"That's right, there's that companion of yours who came to Yanjing City to travel together, right?"
"If you want us to help you, please beg me!"
"Yes, you won't help us if you don't say nice things to make us happy."
The two seniors actually became arrogant, leaving Wang Yaocheng in the middle in the cold.
