Chapter 469 Arrival in Kyoto
Lin Anan opened her eyes at the right time, and immediately heard a slight electric noise in her ears, followed by a female voice that sounded through an old-fashioned speaker, clear and metallic:
"Dear passengers, please note that the China Civil Aviation IL-18 aircraft we are on is preparing to land at the Capital International Airport.
The aircraft is descending and the fuselage may experience slight turbulence. Please fasten your seat belts, fold up the small table, and adjust the seat back to the vertical position..."
Li Ran pushed Lin An'an hurriedly, "An'an, look, you can see the capital city from the window."
Lin Anan nodded lightly and began to tidy up her hair and military uniform.
"This is my first time in Kyoto. Kyoto is the heart of our great country, the center of national politics, culture, and international exchanges. It is truly extraordinary...
Look below, there are the continuous Yanshan Mountains! And the Yongding River, it is really winding like a silver ribbon. I guess only from this angle can you see it so comprehensively, right? "
What Li Ran said was really attractive, and Lin Anan's attention was completely attracted to her.
Not only her, but also Commander Zheng and others in the front row frequently looked out the window.
The plane landed safely on the runway of the Capital Airport. The taxiing speed gradually slowed down, and the fuselage made a dull tremor as the landing gear rolled over the airport runway.
Lin Anan saw through the porthole that the Red Flag cars were lined up on the tarmac. The gold-plated sunflower badges on the front of the cars were shining in the scorching sun. The guards standing solemnly beside the cars were wearing neat uniforms and white gloves.
Commander Zheng stood up first, cleared his throat, and glanced at Lin Anan and others from under his hat. "Remember, when you step out of the cabin, you represent the Northwest Military Region. Everyone, cheer up."
"yes!"
As the hatch slowly opened, a gust of wind mixed with hot tar rushed in.
Lin Anan followed Commander Zheng up the gangway. The metal steps were so hot that they burned her feet in the sun. She saw a red carpet in the middle of the apron. At the end stood two middle-aged men in Zhongshan suits. The one on the left wore a golden collar badge of the General Staff, and the one on the right held a gold-stamped folder.
"Commander, you have worked hard on the journey!" The middle-aged man from the General Staff took two steps forward and said in a loud voice, "The car from the General Office of the Central Committee is waiting over there, please come in."
Commander Zheng shook hands with the man, his face calm and serious. The aura that came from fighting in the sea of blood and corpses was so strong that it was not something that ordinary people could suppress.
"Thank you for your hard work, please."
Li Ran's fingers trembled slightly, but Lin Anan's face remained calm, her body was straight without any tilt, and every step she took was extremely standard.
A car slowly drove over. It was a matte black Hongqi CA770, and the gold-plated sunflower badge on the front of the car was larger than that of ordinary cars.
The middle-aged man from the General Staff whispered something to Commander Zheng.
Commander Zheng nodded and suddenly pointed at Lin Anan: "This is the chief translator for this meeting, Lin Anan, and next to him is the deputy translator, Li Ran."
Lin Anan’s whole body froze!
I was actually introduced by name?
"Hello, leader."
The two men saluted almost in unison.
"Get in the car."
"yes!"
The guard opened the car door for everyone.
Lin Anan and Li Ran were arranged to get in the third car.
At first glance, the interior of the car is clean and spacious, with a maroon cushion on the back seat, a silver "Serve the People" plaque embedded on the inside of the door, and tiny five-pointed stars engraved on the corners. It really shows that every detail is thoughtful.
The Jingxi Hotel's motorcade had already been waiting at the airport exit. Six military jeeps were lined up in a row with small red flags on the front of the vehicles.
When I saw the leaders’ car coming out, I immediately followed.
When the car drove onto Chang'an Avenue, Li Ran squeezed Lin An'an's hand tightly and said, "Translator Lin, look at Tiananmen Square!"
She pretended to have a calm voice, but she couldn't hide her excitement.
Looking through the car window, the red walls of the Tiananmen Gate Tower glowed in the scorching sun, and the glazed tiles on the eaves looked like rows of burning flames.
So majestic!
After just two glances, Lin Anan felt a little dazed.
In her previous life, she had also been to Kyoto. At that time, she was being adopted by her biological parents and had also hurriedly passed by Tiananmen Square...
"An An, what do you think of Kyoto? This is Tiananmen Square, the benchmark of our capital."
"From now on, you will be the eldest daughter of our Lin family. I hope you will not bring the bad habits from the orphanage with you, and don't be blinded by the prosperity."
"It is important for a person to know himself. Your sister is excellent in all aspects. When there is a chance, we will let her guide you more."
At that time, Lin Anan was immersed in the joy of recognizing her loved ones and did not hear anything unusual.
Looking back now, every word and sentence is extremely ridiculous.
Li Ran noticed that Lin Anan was in a bad mood and squeezed her hand again.
Lin Anan came back to her senses, shook her head at her, and indicated that she was fine.
It’s different now!
With her own efforts, she joined the team of Northwest Military Region and stepped onto a bigger stage.
Her ability can be either 'defense line' or 'sharp blade', no worse than anyone else!
When the convoy drove into the Jingxi Hotel, the guards at the door saluted in unison.
As soon as the car stopped, several staff members in white shirts came jogging to open the door.
"Everyone go to the guest room and rest first."
Commander Zheng waved his hand, and everyone responded and entered the hotel one after another.
Lin Anan dragged her suitcase through the corridor. The red painted floor was polished to a shine that could reflect her shadow.
"An An, we live in room 202, this one."
"Um."
Pushing open the door, the room is designed as a suite. The living room outside is furnished with carved mahogany furniture, and there is a thermos and teacups on the table.
There are two single beds in the inner room, the bedding is clean and tidy, and there is a black rotary phone on the bedside table.
"An An, the accommodation conditions are really great!"
"Well, it's really good. It's worthy of being a hotel for receiving important leaders and foreign guests."
"That's right! We are here with the chief, it's really impressive!"
The two began to pack their luggage. Lin Anan looked out the window. The window faced a flower bed with a wide and unobstructed view. The Jingshan Wanchun Pavilion in the distance was looming under the clouds, like a green screen guarding Kyoto.
Not only does this place have a good geographical location and environment, it is also very safe.
"Even if there is an earthquake in Tang City, this place should be safe and will not be affected..."
"An An, what did you say?"
"Nothing, are you tired? Wash your face and take a rest. You still have to have dinner with the leaders tonight."
"Okay."
Just as dinner time arrived, there was a knock on the door.
"You two, please go to the restaurant for dinner."
A crystal chandelier hangs from the dome of the restaurant at Jingxi Hotel. The light shines through the frosted glass and casts petal-shaped spots of light on the dining table.
Lin Anan followed Commander Zheng into the box. Eight hot dishes had been placed on the round table. The Yellow River carp in the celadon bowl was drizzled with sauce, and the sweet and sour aroma of Zhenjiang vinegar floated in the steam.
"Please sit down, don't be shy." Commander Zheng pointed to the seat by the window, and the old guard immediately stepped forward and pulled out the carved dining chair for him.
Lin Anan and the other person sat down at the very bottom.
"This braised fish fillet in fermented rice wine is the signature dish of Jingxi Hotel. Come, try it."
"Thank you very much."
Lin Anan took a sip of the corn porridge. There was a layer of golden oil floating on the surface of the porridge, and it tasted quite good.
During the meal, the leaders were basically communicating and she just listened quietly.
