Early the next morning, Ning Chen participated in his thesis defense. It was ordinary, without any surprises. There was no difficulty from the instructor, and he did not receive much praise. After all, his writing was not amazing, but at least the whole thesis was written by him.
If you write it yourself, at least you don’t have to worry about plagiarism.
"That's enough." Ning Chen snapped his fingers after going out, "The rest is waiting for me to get my diploma next month. My four years of college life is about to come to an end."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Mengyao called, "How was the thesis defense?"
"Graduation is no problem." Ning Chen smiled.
The two made an appointment to have dinner together, and then during dinner that night, Zhou Mengyao told Ning Chen something, "There will be a fashion show in Los Angeles in the United States in three days, and Tilanya is also one of the exhibitors. I will go there on behalf of the company.
Will you go with me?"
Ning Chen raised his eyebrows and laughed softly, "Is it such a coincidence?"
"What's wrong?" Zhou Mengyao stopped her chopsticks and asked.
"Our head teacher and Zhang Hanjie will also go to Los Angeles in the past few days to attend an Internet conference." Ning Chen told Zhang Hanjie's story.
"That's quite a coincidence. If we go to the nightclub then, we can go together. It will be safer if there are more people." Zhou Mengyao nodded. The so-called safety is naturally the safety of Zhao Tingting and the others.
"Indeed, Happy America, there are shootings every day, but it is said that the rich area will be much better." Ning Chen said.
Zhou Mengyao smacked her lips, "Those are two different worlds."
…
Four days later, at Luocheng International Airport, Ning Chen and his party had just walked out of the airport when a Chinese man's eyes lit up and they came up to him, "Mr. Zhou, you've had a hard journey. I rented a business car. Let's go back to the hotel first."
?”
"No hurry, let's go to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel first." Zhou Mengyao said, this is the hotel that Zhao Tingting and the others booked.
"Okay." The middle-aged man nodded and said without asking why.
After getting in the car, the commercial vehicle quickly drove out of the international airport and headed for the destination.
Seeing Zhang Hanjie looking outside all the way, Li Hui knew that he had never been to Los Angeles, the United States, or that he rarely went abroad. He saw Zhou Mengyao and Zhao Tingting whispering, and occasionally pulling Ning Chen to say something.
So he introduced to Zhang Hanjie, "It takes about 40 minutes to get to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel from Los Angeles International Airport. It is almost impossible to pass through the city center. And to be honest, the urban landscape in the city center is not as prosperous as the surrounding areas."
"Yeah." Zhang Hanjie nodded, "It doesn't feel much different from China, except that there are more foreigners."
Li Hui said with a smile, "Now China's development is almost riding a rocket. Domestic first- and second-tier cities are basically not inferior to foreign metropolises, and the urban ecology of Xiamen City is considered to be the best in the country, whether it is commercial districts or
The tourism ecology is also among the best in the country. We are used to staying in Xiamen. Even if we come to cities like Magic City and Luocheng, although they are indeed larger and more prosperous, they will not make people feel astonished.
Or shocked.”
Ning Chen smiled and said, "Have a good rest tonight. After your meeting tomorrow, let's go to Beverly Hills for a walk in the evening?"
"Absolutely. If you don't go to Beverly Hills and Hollywood when you come to Los Angeles, how can you come to Los Angeles?" Zhang Hanjie said excitedly.
Zhao Tingting glanced at him sideways and said calmly, "Go back and compile the results of this conference into a PPT and give it to me before the end of the month, otherwise I don't mind holding your diploma in my hand for a while."
Zhang Hanjie was speechless after hearing the words, and couldn't help but nodded and said, "Don't worry, Teacher Zhao, I will listen carefully, take more notes, and strive to gain more."
Zhou Mengyao pursed her lips and smiled. She had invited Zhao Tingting to go out with her before, but Zhao Tingting really liked silence and disliked movement. If Ning Chen and Zhao Tingting were not there, she would not have allowed Zhang Hanjie to go out at night.
Do you really think that the nights in Los Angeles and the nights in Xiamen are the same?
After the commercial vehicle drove for a while, Ning Chen noticed that there was more and more traffic in front of him. The commercial vehicle moved slower and slower, and then almost stopped.
"I heard that there are frequent traffic jams in New York. Is it the same in Los Angeles?" Ning Chen said with a smile.
Li Hui didn't answer, but the Chinese driver in front of him turned around and said, "These big cities are all the same. Don't they have traffic jams in the north?"
Ning Chen and everyone laughed when they heard this, "No, the traffic jam is even worse."
Suddenly, several "bang bang bang!" sounds came from far away.
There was a pause in the car. Zhang Hanjie swallowed his saliva and asked hesitantly, "Is this the sound of a gunshot?"
The driver nodded, "It's indeed gunshots. Don't worry. The United States doesn't ban guns, so there will be gunshots from time to time."
"Let me strangle you." Zhang Hanjie laughed dryly, "I can hear gunshots from time to time. You guys are really generous."
The driver raised his eyebrows in the rearview mirror, "Just get used to it."
"Bang bang bang!"
Several more gunshots were heard, but the sound was a little closer to the crowd.
"Here I go, how did you get here? What's going on? Are you filming a Hollywood blockbuster?" Zhang Hanjie asked in horror.
The driver was also a little uneasy. He often heard gunshots and gunshots ringing around him were not the same thing.
"Bang bang bang!"
There were screams not far away, seemingly just a few hundred meters away.
There was already some commotion among the surrounding cars. Some cars seemed to want to turn around and leave. Some car owners saw that the surroundings were relatively congested and started to get out of the car and run behind. Of course, there were also some drivers who were sitting calmly in their cars and seemed to be...
…Brush the news?
"What should we do?" The driver swallowed, "I suggest we get off the car first, hide in a nearby building, and wait until everything is safe before getting back on the road."
Zhou Mengyao looked at Ning Chen, but Ning Chen had already radiated his spiritual consciousness.
After advancing to the late stage of Ning Yuan, his spiritual consciousness range has reached nearly one kilometer, which is just enough to observe the scene of the current shooting.
A pickup truck full of bullet holes was lying on the road. Two gangsters wearing black hoods and holding automatic rifles were shooting at a police car not far away. Another gangster ducked close to a car.
He forced the driver of the car out with a gun, then got in, controlled the car to reverse, and seemed to want to pick up the other two people.
The other two men held guns and beat the Los Angeles police until they couldn't even lift their heads. When they saw that the car was ready to pick them up, they finally shot a bunch of bullets, then picked up the travel bag beside them and prepared to throw it into the car.
"Seeing" the Los Angeles police hiding behind the car while talking on the phone, Ning Chen knew they were calling for backup, and the important thing was that the backup hadn't arrived yet.
After gesturing at the car and the road conditions on his side, Ning Chen found out very helplessly that they were very likely to come to the street on his side and pass by him and others. If they were next to the business car again,
If you get a punctured tire, things might be very interesting.
Ning Chen didn't want to experience such an interesting thing, so he gave each of the three gangsters an Ice Soul Silver Needle.
