Chapter 268

In the crackling flash, Zheng Jianguo watched the porter and taxi driver put two suitcases into the trunk. He got into the back seat of the car and reported an address: "No. 18, 72nd Street, upper east side of Manhattan --"

"OK, which star are you? I don't even know you? "

The driver is a white toothed brother in a sweater. His eyes with large white iris and small eyes swept through the rearview mirror. He drove out without stopping.

Looking straight at the group of reporters in the rearview mirror returning to the airport exit, brother Bai Fang then said, "I think you are familiar, but I think you all look the same -"

"Well --"

Silently glanced at the driver in front, Zheng Jianguo pulled the corners of his mouth and made a dull hum, which was a response.

Then he put on a dignified look on his face and looked out of the window. Unexpectedly, the white tooth in front seemed to open the chatterbox: "are you going home? The house you bought on the upper east side? House prices there are the highest, of course, considering Fifth Avenue, Central Park and private schools.

If I were as rich as you, I would choose there too! But no one came to pick you up? Don't all the people who live there have their own luxury cars? "

"Bruce should send someone to pick me up?"

As if reminded by brother Bai Ya's nagging voice, Zheng Jianguo suddenly had an idea in his mind that his first-class tickets were booked by others, so he must know when to get off the plane.

If you consider it as human nature, you will definitely drive in person or have someone pick you up after you book the first class of the plane.

With the relationship between the two, this situation will be inevitable. Of course, if you are really busy, you will also tell the visitor how to travel or how long it takes to take a taxi.

"How long does it take from here to 72nd Street in the upper east?"

Many thoughts flashed through his mind. Zheng Jianguo asked. Brother Bai Ya showed a brilliant smile and said, "the normal time is about half an hour, but where are we? This is New York, and the place you go is the upper east of Manhattan.

Even if I, an old and native driver, went to the sports car, I never arrived within an hour. Look at the traffic jam ahead -- "

"Doodle doodle -"

The chattering brother Bai Ya said and pressed the horn in front of him. Zheng Jianguo couldn't help feeling some toothache. He looked out of the window and saw another taxi parked next to him. Then he pressed the horn: "Dudu, Dudu --"

Then he took back his eyes and looked at the watch on his wrist. Zheng Jianguo got on the plane at more than 3 p.m. and then flew for more than half an hour and delayed at the exit for a few minutes. It was almost 4:30 now.

If you can't arrive for an hour, you'll get off at least at 6 o'clock. According to Zheng Jianguo's understanding of time life this year, you know that the start time of this kind of dinner starts at 5:30 p.m.

"When we first met, we stepped on the rice order?"

Feeling the powerlessness of the traffic jam again, Zheng Jianguo glanced at brother Bai Ya, who was still honking the horn like the driver next to him. He saw that he suddenly released the horn and leaned forward. It was obvious that he was looking at something through the windshield. He soon heard him say, "it's really good for rich people to get off the plane and go straight by helicopter, Then you don't have to block the ground like us -- "

"Buy another helicopter? Then you can consider opening an airline -- "

He looked at the helicopter that was about to disappear in the sky. Before the idea in Zheng Jianguo's mind disappeared, he felt that the car suddenly started and ran out. When he almost hit the back of the front chair, brother Bai Ya's voice came: "sorry, the traffic lights will change again. We have to hurry!"

“——”

When the car quickly passed the intersection of the green light, Zheng Jianguo saw two policemen at the roadside station flash past. Then the speed began to drive fast and slow. At this time, he began to rejoice that he would not get carsick. Otherwise, according to this tossing method, he would spit out if he didn't reach his destination.

But even if he didn't get carsick, when Zheng Jianguo arrived at his destination an hour and a half later, he got off the car with a big white face. Just as he stepped on the solid and flat ground and breathed fresh air, there was a familiar voice: "Zheng, how did you come by taxi? Didn't Cagney receive you?"

"Hi, Bruce -"

Seeing the radiant Bruce's face slightly changed, he had brought a uniformed waiter to him.

Zheng Jianguo shrugged and watched the driver hand over his luggage to the waiter. He took his wallet out of his pocket and said, "I was surrounded by reporters at the exit. Maybe the people you sent didn't see me. Please give me change."

"Oh, good --"

After receiving the money, brother Bai Ya thought whether there was a tip to take. When he heard Zheng Jianguo say the change request, he found 4 dollars and 20 cents with the idea that these people were so stingy. Zheng Jianguo directly handed the money to the waiter next to him: "please help me carry it up."

"Hi, Zheng -"

Bruce's face changed again before he wanted to say that when I gave the money, he saw that the waiter had taken the money with a bright face. He had to turn around and look at his wife in the lobby and say, "this is my wife, Catlin Bruce --"

"Hi, Zheng, it's a pleasure to come to you. Welcome to Manhattan. You can take this as your second home -"

Katerin Bruce, who was walking on a pair of high heels, was 1.8 meters tall. Zheng Jianguo couldn't help looking at Bruce, who was a little shorter than her. He felt that this man's taste was also one of the few Americans. He immediately touched his hand, gently shook his hand with the other party, and said, "thank you, Mrs. burrows. I'm also honored that you can invite me to the housewarming banquet -"

"Zheng is not an outsider either. Let's go up. There are still some guests at home -"

Bruce patted Catlin on the shoulder and said that Zheng Jianguo followed the two apparently well cleaned couples into the hall of No. 18.

The brightly lit hall is exquisitely decorated. Both men and women are wearing suits, dresses and long skirts, even if they have children. I can't help feeling that the residents in this property are really high-end and high-grade——

"Ding -"

As the elevator door opened with a sound, Zheng Jianguo saw three pairs of men and women in the same suits, long skirts and gowns, so he put down his steps and waited for the other party to leave.

But I don't want three pairs of men's and women's six eyes to sweep over Zheng Jianguo and Bruce in the elevator. Among them, the blonde woman wearing a deep V dress looked at Zheng Jianguo again. After the slender willow eyebrows were provoked high, the blue eyes flashed a surprise: "are you - Dr. Zheng Jianguo?"

"Well, Hello, I'm Zheng Jianguo -"

For the first time when he came into contact with the deep V dress so close, Zheng Jianguo almost couldn't control his floating eyes. After a great effort, he stopped his eyes on the other party's clavicle nest and looked at the flaming red lips on the other party's face with a smile: "are you?"

"I'm sorry. It's presumptuous of me to do so. I'm Abigail from the digestive department of Mount Sinai Medical Center. This is my fiance Klein. Nice to meet you -"

The crimson lips opened and closed, and some dazzling white shell teeth were printed into the eyes. Abigail showed a happy smile when he said it.

At the same time, when his slender hands expressed body language, he introduced Zheng Jianguo, and he nodded to Klein, who looked at her face. This was a greeting.

Compared with Massachusetts General Hospital, Mayo Clinic and Johns Hopkins Hospital, the name of Mount Sinai Medical Center is not well known to future generations.

Just now, for Zheng Jianguo, who has graduated from Harvard Medical School, he knows that this hospital is a top medical center comparable to the first three.

The person who can claim which hospital he is is is at least as well-known as him. Considering the prefix of the emergency room of Massachusetts General Hospital printed on his business card, we know that this should also be an attending doctor: "I'm glad to know you, too."

"I wonder if you are applying for hospitalization after graduation - or which hospital you went to?"

Abigail, whose expectation was hidden on his white cheek, asked, and Zheng Jianguo smiled and said, "I am now trained in the joint MD and PhD program in the emergency room of Massachusetts General Hospital, and I am also serving as a guide in the laboratory of the digestive Center -"

"I thought you gave up your research on Helicobacter pylori. I wonder if you could give me a business card. I'd like to ask you about some research matters, but now the place and time we meet -"

The slender hands are doing some exaggerated body movements from time to time. Abigail blushed like shyness after she said her ideas. Zheng Jianguo didn't expect her to be so direct. She took out her wallet from her pocket, took out a business card and handed it to her with both hands: "it's a bit exaggerated to ask for advice. Let's learn from each other -"

If it was a normal interpersonal exchange of business cards, Zheng Jianguo certainly wouldn't hand them out with both hands, but at this time, he insisted on the gaze of four or five people next to him, and it was a lady who took the initiative to ask for her business card, so he lowered his attitude.

"Thank you! You are too modest - "

Abigail took the business card with both hands and looked at it, but soon his crimson face showed surprise: "are you still an associate professor at MIT?"

"Part time. There's a physics lab over there -"

Zheng Jianguo smiled and didn't go on, but Abigail nodded as if he thought of something: "well, I heard you also got a doctorate in physics when you graduated, so I won't delay you. I'll call you later. Bye! Dr. Zheng! "

"Goodbye! Dr Abigail! "

With a smile on his face, Zheng Jianguo nodded with Klein who didn't say a word next to him, and then watched them leave. The elevator that had stopped earlier had also gone up.

Fortunately, the next elevator has reached the second floor. Waiting for the elevator to go down to the first floor, Bruce said, "Jianguo, do you still have a part-time job at MIT?"

"Isn't the emergency room busy? Several hospitals here are overcrowded -- "

With Bruce's voice, Catlin Bruce opened his mouth, and Zheng Jianguo said with a smile: "the emergency room of Massachusetts General Hospital is also busy, but the agreement I signed is not an ordinary inpatient agreement.

In the MD and PhD joint training program, there are normal working and off-duty hours, research time outside the regular shift, and extra weekend rest time.

Professor Thomas of MIT just wanted to use this time to invite me to join his laboratory, so he became a part-time associate professor, but then I had half a day left on my weekend -- "

"You didn't give yourself time to relax?"

At this time, as the elevator opened and the people inside walked out, Catlin Bruce asked after the three people and the waiter entered the elevator car. Zheng Jianguo shrugged and smiled and said, "I want to learn more while I'm still young and energetic. As for entertainment and relaxation, there will be a lot of time in the future -"

Turning to look at Bruce, Catlin saw that he picked his eyebrows and tilted his head. His son, who was almost the same age, flashed in front of him, and felt that the gap between people was really incomparable.

Originally, I wanted my son Cagney to get close to him before he asked him to pick up the plane, but I didn't think I didn't receive Zheng Jianguo. I haven't even come home with my car.

"This is worth affirming. Unfortunately, the vast majority of young people can't realize the responsibility of youth -"

Bruce nodded approvingly and said that the elevator stopped on the 15th floor. Only when the door of the elevator opened, Zheng Jianguo was affirmed. Looking at the exquisitely decorated elevator box, he couldn't believe his eyes: "this --"

"This is the upper east side of Manhattan at up to $1000 per foot --"

Catlin walked out of the elevator with a smile. Zheng Jianguo and Bruce took the porter to room 1503. They carried their suitcases one by one to the living room where there were already five or six young men and women. Bruce looked at the melon seed skin thrown on the old carpet and said, "Martha, I said, garbage should be put in the trash can -"

"Anyway, we have to sweep it. We'll sweep it after we finish eating and throw it away. I promise you I'll clean it -"

The girl called Martha looked at the TV with disapproval. Bruce had to stare at Zheng Jianguo and said, "whenever this time, I envy the parents of the Republic - I'll take you to the guest room."

"Ha ha."

Looking at the boys and girls who were not much younger than himself, Zheng Jianguo automatically ignored Bruce's previous words, but he followed the latter to the guest room, put down his suitcase, and was knocked on the door when he simply picked up.

Opening some old wooden doors, Zheng Jianguo saw a big boy whose face was somewhat similar to Bruce standing at the door. At this time, he was full of helplessness and said, "Zheng, I didn't expect you to be surrounded by reporters. When I heard you from reporters, you had already got into a taxi -"

"It's all right. These were accidents. I arrived safely -"

Knowing that the goods didn't do the task assigned by Bruce, Zheng Jianguo didn't turn around in his heart. Bruce came from a distance and said, "Jianguo, this is my son Cagney. Except that he doesn't like learning, everything else is good -"
