The clouds today are completely different from the sparse clouds we see in modern times. The atmospheric visibility is excellent now, and the sea of clouds appears particularly magnificent, full of primal and awe-inspiring power and beauty.
As the flight gradually stabilized, the flight attendants began distributing meals. After we ate, the cabin lights were dimmed a bit.
After a long flight, the plane landed on the airport runway with a deafening roar and an almost violent descent. Chen Qing opened his eyes; they had arrived.
After disembarking, the immigration inspection line moved slowly, with uniformed customs officers asking various questions.
Liu Fenghua hesitated and dragged his feet, so Chen Qing took the lead.
It was He Yuxiang's first time going abroad, and he was filled with excitement. He looked around and found that his aunt was calm.
Arriving in the beautiful country wasn't as exciting as having a pack of cigarettes on the plane.
Liu Fenghua originally wanted to see Chen Qing's awkwardness as a "Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden" on her first trip abroad, but she didn't expect her to keep a calm demeanor.
I bet he's panicking!
Wang Weiqiang closely followed the factory director!
Foreigners are really tall and strong. They're prone to firing their guns easily. What if they accidentally shoot someone?
The factory managers are different.
She has some knowledge of martial arts.
He can lend a hand in a critical moment.
Seeing Wang Weiqiang's undignified demeanor, Liu Fenghua said, "When we go abroad, we represent the image of the Chinese people. What kind of behavior is this, cowering like this? Are you trying to make foreigners laugh at us?!"
Wang Weiqiang was embarrassed.
He quietly increased the distance between them.
Chen Qing glanced at Liu Fenghua but remained silent.
Afterwards, Chen Qing led everyone to get their luggage.
He Yuxiang helped his aunt and Yang Yihe take down their luggage. Seeing that Wang Weiqiang was too weak from losing 20 pounds, he also helped carry it. When he saw that Manager Wang couldn't carry it, he became a porter again.
Liu Fenghua prepared two large boxes. Seeing that He Yuxiang was helping everyone but not him, he sneered, "So young, yet so good at pretending."
He didn't name names, so nobody paid him any attention.
As the group walked out of the glass doors of customs, they were greeted by a bustling crowd of people holding up all sorts of signs.
Amidst the chaos, the delegation members still noticed a composed middle-aged Asian man in a well-tailored dark gray suit.
He held up a simple white sign that read in both Chinese and English: "Welcome Director Chen Qing of Shengxia Sports Apparel Factory".
Two robust white men in uniforms stood behind him.
Liu Fenghua indignantly criticized, "Is he only welcoming you?! It's clearly the Chinese clothing inspection team!!"
Chen Qing: "You're right. When you go abroad in the future, you can just ask the people in the US to write a welcome sign."
Liu Fenghua angrily retorted, "Director Chen, what do you mean by this!"
Chen Qing replied coldly, "The literal meaning."
She walked over and introduced herself in English.
David politely replied in fluent Chinese, “Director Chen, hello. I am David, Mr. Marcus’s chief assistant. Mr. Marcus has a very important meeting and is unable to attend in person. He is very sorry. He has entrusted me to take full responsibility for your itinerary during your stay and to convey his sincerest greetings. We hope our hospitality will satisfy you.”
Liu Fenghua's expression changed.
He didn't expect that foreigners would value Chen Qing so much and would find someone fluent in foreign languages to entertain him!
David heard what he just said, and he only said that he was entertaining Chen Qing alone!
What does this mean?
Do you look down on him?!
Or is it that David and Chen Qing are working together to deliberately target him?!
Chen Qing ignored Liu Fenghua's ulterior motives, and smiled appropriately at David, extending his hand to shake David's hand lightly: "Mr. David, it is an honor to meet you. Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Marcus, and for your thoughtful arrangements."
"You're welcome. The car is waiting outside, and the hotel has been arranged. Please." David stepped aside to lead the way.
Two white drivers immediately stepped forward and silently took all their luggage.
He Yuxiang said at the opportune moment, "I'll take a taxi."
Chen Qing waved his hand: "Go ahead, but remember not to eat anything that strangers give you. If you have any problems, just contact the embassy."
It's no use looking for her; it's her first time in the US, and she's unfamiliar with the place.
"knew."
He Yuxiang walked out of the airport and got into a yellow taxi.
Chen Qing and his group, on the other hand, got into a Cadillac with sharp lines.
The car drove away from the airport and merged into the traffic.
Wang Weiqiang sat in the front row, his hands resting nervously on his knees.
Chen Qing, Yang Yihe, and Wang Xuemei sat in the back row, leisurely looking out the window.
The walls of the street were covered with mottled graffiti.
Some shop windows were empty, and Chen Qing keenly noticed that there were "For Rent" signs hanging at the entrances of the shops.
However, the scene changed again when the Cadillac turned onto Fifth Avenue.
Luxury store windows are lavish, and pedestrians are dressed very differently, with suits and pretty dresses making up an increasing proportion of the crowd.
Chen Qing stared intently.
Yang Yihe was initially pleased to see many black garbage bags and confused foreigners on the road, but her heart sank when she saw the luxuriously decorated shops.
After the car arrived at the hotel, David helped with the check-in process, so Chen Qing didn't have to worry about anything.
He then conveyed to Chen Qing that he invited them to the company's conference room for a discussion the following day.
Chen Qing agreed, and then called to Yang Yihe, "Xiaohe, let's share a room."
Wang Xuemei frowned: "Yang Yihe should live with me!"
Chen Qing: "If you have any problems, come to me."
Wang Xuemei took out paper and pen and started writing quickly. She wrote that Yang Yihe was living with the factory director of Shengxia Sports Clothing Factory, bypassing her rank, and handed it to Chen Qing for signature.
Chen Qing signed it.
Wang Xuemei was satisfied: "Then you can go and stay here."
Chen Qing had nothing to say.
Manager Wang is like that; she is unwilling to take any responsibility. If you want to do something that goes against her internal rules, you have to abide by her rules, such as signing to take responsibility.
Chen Qing was often tormented by her, but he had to admit that Manager Wang's position was very secure.
Director Peng Qingyun conducts several investigations every year, but Wang Xuemei has never done one!
Special positions require exceptional rigor.
Yang Yihe followed her aunt in the elevator.
Inside the elevator, Yang Yihe couldn't help but ask, "Auntie, what's our capital city like?"
Chen Qing: "It has a historical charm."
Yang Yihe didn't know whether her aunt was praising or criticizing her.
In short, she felt slightly disappointed.
The port city is prosperous, but it belongs to China. It's a bit unsettling to see the United States so prosperous.
When the elevator arrived at their floor, Chen Qing patted Xiao He on the shoulder reassuringly: "It's okay, don't be discouraged, take it slow, we're always making changes."
Yang Yihe nodded.
Chen Qing smiled and patted her hair before opening the door to the room.
The room was a luxurious suite, and Chen Qing took his luggage inside.
Yang Yihe surveyed the private room, then walked to the window, gazing at the bustling traffic below and the clearly defined skyscrapers in the distance, her feelings remaining complex. (End of Chapter)
