"Are you Chinese? Or a descendant of immigrants?" Yang Jing asked the young man with the same name as a famous badminton star as they walked.

"I am a third-generation immigrant. My grandfather came to San Francisco as early as the 1960s. At that time, he was about the same age as I am now."

"Haha, then your Mandarin is quite standard." Yang Jing was really surprised to hear James Lin say this. Nowadays, most of the second-generation immigrants cannot speak Chinese fluently, let alone the third-generation immigrants.

"My father and grandfather taught me since I was a child that although we hold American passports now, the blood flowing in our bones is still the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang, so we must not forget our mother tongue. Anyone who forgets his mother tongue has forgotten his ancestors."

After hearing these words, Yang Jing couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

James Lin drives a Chevrolet Camaro. This car is a classic model. In the last century, there were three most famous muscle car brands in the United States: Dodge Charger, Ford Mustang, and Chevrolet Camaro.

After driving out of the airport, James Lin drove directly onto Highway 101, then headed north along this highway bordering the Bay Area. It took him about half an hour to reach the harbor area in the north of San Francisco.

Guo Dabao's Rongbao Mining San Francisco branch is located in the Seaport District. Looking north from the branch's office building, you can see the Golden Gate Bridge, the most famous symbol of San Francisco.

This red bridge may be the bridge that has been destroyed the most times in Hollywood movies. In Yang Jing's memory alone, this famous bridge has been completely destroyed in movies no less than ten times...

Of course, in reality, this bridge is still very strong and cannot be destroyed so easily.

Guo Dabao's branch was not set up in Chinatown, mainly because setting up the branch in the seaport area would facilitate the import and export declaration of some minerals.

The branch is located in a four-story office building, with more than seventy people working there, most of whom are of Chinese descent with black hair and yellow skin.

The general manager of the branch is a Chinese American who is in his fifties and his Chinese name is Zhao Meng.

Although Zhao Meng is not very prominent, he is a well-known manager in the mining industry. Before being recruited by Guo Dabao to work as a branch manager, Zhao Meng worked for Barrick Gold, a famous Canadian gold company, and was the top person in charge of a large gold mine in Utah, USA.

When Guo Dabao set up the San Francisco branch two years ago, he heard of Zhao Meng. So, relying on his fellow Chinese relationship plus a large sum of money and shares, Guo Dabao successfully poached Zhao Meng and appointed him as the top person in charge of the San Francisco branch of Rongbao Mining.

"Xiao Yang, Mr. Guo has told me everything about your situation on the phone, so you don't have to worry about the arrangements for your time in the United States. During this time, there will always be someone with you. How about Xiao Lin who just came to pick you up?" Zhao Meng is also a descendant of Chinese descent, but his family has spent much more time in the United States than Lin Dan.

Zhao Meng's great-grandfather came to San Francisco in the 19th century. Zhao Meng, who is in his 50s, is already a fourth-generation immigrant. However, Zhao Meng speaks Mandarin fluently. Although not as good as Lin Dan, he is definitely better than most descendants of immigrants.

Yang Jing nodded and said, "Mr. Zhao, thank you very much for your help. I think Xiao Lin will do."

Although Lin Dan is one year younger than Yang Jing, the two of them had a very pleasant chat on the way to the airport just now. Yang Jing also likes to have a partner who is exciting enough.

Zhao Meng smiled and said, "I don't want to let Xiao Lin go to you. He is the successor I have focused on training. But you are Xiao Xiang's good brother. If I send an old man to follow you, I'm sure you won't like it."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao."

"You, don't call me Mr. Zhao anymore. Although I am a fourth-generation immigrant, my bloodline is very authentic. Counting from me, four generations ago, my family are all authentic Chinese! And if we really talk about it, we are from the same hometown in Shandong Province. My ancestral home is in Jiaozhou. So, you can just call me Uncle Zhao from now on."

"Uncle Zhao!" Yang Jing called out in surprise, "Uncle Zhao, if you come back to visit my hometown in the future, please let me know. Although my home is in Tianqu, the westernmost part of Shandong Province, we are really fellow villagers."

"Okay, when I go to the head office to report on my work at the end of the year, I will definitely go back to my hometown to take a look. You will be responsible for my reception throughout the whole process!" Zhao Meng said with a smile.

After a pause, Zhao Meng continued, "I have already arranged the bodyguards that Lao Guo asked me to arrange for you. These two bodyguards are retired special operations personnel from the former Delta Force. They worked for Blackwater International for five years and now work for Titan Corporation in San Diego. They are both kids from the Bay Area. You need two bodyguards this time, so I found them."

"But the price of hiring these two is not cheap. Their daily fee is three thousand dollars, and this is still a friendly price. If someone else hires them, each person will have to pay at least two thousand dollars a day. How about this price? Can you accept it?"

Yang Jing nodded and smiled, "This price is very suitable. The bodyguards you recommended, Uncle Zhao, must be very good. I will use these two people."

Yang Jing certainly liked such bodyguards. Delta Force was the most powerful special forces in the United States and was well-known all over the world. Moreover, these two had worked for Blackwater International after retiring and were now working for Titan. This must be because they had extraordinary skills. You should know that both Blackwater International and Titan were well-known security companies in the world. Being able to work for these two companies successively meant that they were definitely among the top bodyguards.
