Chapter 39 Reunion Test
He waved for the restaurant manager, pointed to Frank outside the window, and said something, and Frank was quickly invited into the restaurant.
When he walked to the dining table, Li Changheng had already stood up, and the captain, co-pilot and four beautiful stewardesses at the same table also stood up politely.
Before Frank could speak, Li Changheng hugged him and said happily, "Long time no see, Frank."
Feeling that Li Changheng did not reject him, Frank smiled in relief.
"Okay, long time no see, Henry".
"You bastard, when you were at my aunt's house in Houston a month ago, you agreed to come back and have dinner with my aunt,
But the next day my aunt prepared a big meal, but you didn’t see anyone, which made your mother and my aunt nag me for more than an hour.”
"This, this".
Frank knew Li Changheng was talking nonsense as soon as he heard it, so he cooperated without any hesitation, scratching his head pretending to be embarrassed.
"Sorry, Henry, I, I did have something to do that day".
"Okay, okay, I understand." After finishing speaking, Li Changheng smiled and explained to the captain and the others, "This is Frank, my aunt's son, who grew up with me.
Two years ago, the little bastard who ran away from home in order to test his qualifications as a pilot.
And what you don't know is that this kid said he ran away from home, but in fact he just moved from his own home to mine.
Every time I get home from vacation, I have to listen to him ask all kinds of questions about flying and airplanes.
It made me feel like I don’t want to go home for the past few months.”
"Haha", when everyone heard that this was the reason, they would not blame Frank, and after thinking about it for a while, they made up their minds.
The cousin became a pilot because of his cousin, regardless of the opposition of his family, he only wanted to follow in the footsteps of his elder brother and become a pilot.
After saying sorry to the stewardess beside him a few times, Li Changheng pulled Frank to sit beside him, poured him a glass of red wine himself, and asked in a low voice,
"Last time you called me and said that you have received the training certificate from Pan Am. How is it? Are you still doing the simulation training now, or did you follow the group on the plane?"
"My".
Frank, who has never graduated from high school, doesn't know what simulation training is.
Fortunately, Li Changheng pretended to be helpless and shook his head, "Forget it, you don't have to tell me, I will ask my acquaintances myself."
Then he smiled apologetically to the joint captain and co-pilot, "Frank has been a little brainless since he was a child,
Although the progress and courses of the training are said to be kept secret, any captain or co-pilot can ask about the progress of the training on the grounds of selecting a team.
After all, our profession is tiring, and no one likes to bring a rookie who doesn't fit in.
When I was an intern, I was directly selected by Captain Howard, who was still the co-pilot at the time."
"Well, that's right."
Captain McClay, who was sitting opposite, nodded in agreement, "Two pilots in the same crew really have to get along, and even become good friends, in order to deal with various problems more effectively."
After finishing speaking, McClay looked at Frank with a nervous face, "Don't worry, Frank,
Your brother is the first officer at Pan Am, and he's sure to teach you how to deal with a captain like me."
"Ha ha".
The people at the table laughed instantly.
Half an hour later, seeing that everyone had put down their wine glasses, or hadn't touched their glasses for a while, Li Changheng took the initiative to call the manager to pay the bill.
Taking Frank to send the 6 crew members away, watching the two taxis go away, looking back at Frank with some confusion on his face, he said,
"If you have time, walk with me and tell me what happened to you these days."
"Okay, okay", Frank immediately brought himself into the younger brother's mode when he was in San Francisco.
It’s actually not that far from Lower Manhattan to Midtown. After half an hour’s walk, after learning about Frank, the two came to a coffee shop and enjoyed the attention and eyebrows of the waiter.
After thinking for a few seconds, Li Changheng said, "Originally, I planned to go to Los Angeles to go back to school, but I didn't expect that one of the people you lied to was an accountant of the Gray Gang.
So, for safety, I can only leave the west.
If you don’t need it in the future, you must never go back to San Francisco. Even if you want to write a letter to your parents or send a postcard, you can’t leave your real address.
It's best to drive to the surrounding towns to mail, understand? "
"Understood." Frank nodded honestly, and then asked anxiously, "Then will my parents be in danger?"
"Calm down," Li Changheng glared, and Frank immediately sat down on the chair honestly.
"About ten days ago, I called your father, and if he is fine, it means your mother must be fine.
Besides, as long as the two of us are not recognized and caught, this matter will be over in a few years.
Even, the accountant of the gray gang might have stopped, or went to see God."
"That's good." Frank secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the captain's uniform on Li Changheng, and asked carefully,
"So, you were implicated by me. After you couldn't go to school, you went to take the pilot qualification test and became a pilot?"
"Hahaha", Li Changheng chuckled a few times, reached out and took out a Pan Am work card from his jacket pocket, and handed it to Frank.
Seeing the name 'Henry Howard' printed on the certificate, Frank didn't know that Li Changheng was pretending to be a pilot.
After returning the documents, Frank asked carefully, "Why?"
"Qian," Li Changheng curled his lips, "I'm the same as you, the bottom one who didn't graduate from high school, has no skills, no education, and no connections.
Even though we think we are smarter than everyone else, we can't even get a decent job.
If I want to live and live well, I can only be like you."
same as me?
Frank's eyes lit up, he turned his head to look around, and asked in a low voice, "Fake check?"
"What do you think?" Of course Li Changheng would not answer directly in this kind of place, "Okay, it's already late, I have to fly to Paris tomorrow, and I'll contact you later."
"Wait, wait," Frank grabbed Li Changheng's arm, "Stop playing, Boss Henry, you will tell me this, you must be trying to lure me into the gang."
"Hehe", sitting back on the chair, Li Changheng was very satisfied with Frank's attitude of taking the initiative to be his younger brother.
Looking at Frank with a surprised expression in his eyes, "It's not bad, it's as smart as before."
After speaking, under Frank's surprised gaze, he took out a glove from the outer pocket of his coat and put it on, and then took out a stack of envelopes with the Pan Am logo printed on it from the inner pocket.
"Tomorrow I will prepare a set of co-pilot uniforms for you, and then at this time tomorrow night, you will give me 2,900 US dollars in this cafe."
Now that Frank saw Li Changheng wearing gloves, even if he didn't care about it before, he would be a fool if he wasn't careful now.
Looking at the number of envelopes, he pointed to ten envelopes and asked, "Is this a test?"
"Don't be late", after speaking, Li Changheng pushed off the gloves, still on the table, and then checked out and left the cafe.
