Chapter 25 JFK International Airport

Kennedy International Airport.

In the 1990s, if ordinary Chinese arrived at Kennedy International Airport for the first time, they would definitely be shocked by the modern atmosphere. They had a full steel structure, a dome of dozens of meters high, nine terminals in a U-shaped shape, and in the middle there was a huge waiting hall.

So when you arrive at Kennedy International Airport, you must know which terminal you are on board or the waiting room. If you go wrong, it is not a good thing, because even if you get from one waiting room to another, even if you have commuting tools on the site, it is quite time-consuming, not to mention that you have to pay extra money when taking the commuting tools.

From Hong Kong to Honolulu to Seattle, then transfer to New York, spanning two states and one ocean. After getting off the plane, Su Jingzhen felt that his waist was not his own, and his legs didn't seem to obey the command. The first long journey was too painful, but he was already very tired and could not rest. He still had to find someone. Lawyer Ye Juwen recommended a person with the qualification of a practicing lawyer in the United States to pick him up.

Su Jingzhen walked out of the airport slowly with his luggage. There was a road outside the terminal. Su Jingzhen had just got off the plane and didn't know how to distinguish between south and north. He could only gradually move forward with the flow of people. Outside the railing of the terminal, there were many people coming to pick up the plane holding cards. Su Jingzhen wanted to distinguish which one belonged to him.

Hong Kong, NYU, Su Jingzhen, this is it, there are Chinese and English abbreviations, this is here to pick me up. Su Jingzhen walked up to see that he was indeed a girl.

"Hello, I am Su Jingzhen."

"Hello, I'm Joanna Yuan, you're Su? Just call me Joanna." The girl who thought she was obviously an Asian face answered in panic.

When strangers meet, many embarrassing things always happen. Although Su Jingzhen's age is almost sixty, he is a little nervous, but as a man, he has to speak first.

"Are we taking a commuter tool? Or..." Although the United States is a country on wheels, Su Jingzhen could not guarantee that the girl in front of him would definitely drive to pick him up.

"Oh, I have a car, right outside the parking lot. Let's go forward, cross the opposite road from the underground passage, and then you can reach the parking lot." Joanna waved her arm, pointed to the busy highway, and signaled the route to walk, but Su Jingzhen frowned, because Joanna's accent was a bit strange, not like the Hong Kong accent, nor from the mainland. When she spoke faster, Su Jingzhen couldn't understand it.

"Slow down, say slower, I don't understand." Su Jingzhen pointed out this problem without hesitation, because Ye Juwen said that the girl took the plane and took him to New York University to register for the registration. This is the relationship between the customer and the lawyer hired.

Joanna was a little nervous, more embarrassed. She took a deep breath to calm her emotions and said with a little attitude towards official customers: "Sorry, Mr. Su, my Chinese is a bit bad. Because I haven't met a customer from Asia for a long time, I'm very sorry."

Su Jingzhen carried a backpack and wanted to have a classic American shrugging expression to express his irrelevance. But the backpack was too heavy. He felt that the chic movements were deformed, but the words he said would not deform: "It's okay, as long as you say it slower, I can hear it clearly. Otherwise, there would be no problem speaking English. I got a high score in the language test."

"I'd better speak Chinese to you. I'll be with you in the next few days, so I feel more intimate in Chinese." Joanna took good care of Su Jingzhen, a client from Hong Kong.

"How are the accommodation arranged?" Su Jingzhen asked, following Joanna's back, dragging a big box.

"I stayed with me. There were free rooms in my place. I hadn't had time to rent it yet. If you were not used to it, you could also stay in the hotel. I will arrange everything for you. But in New York, especially hotels close to Stern Business School, they are very expensive. I don't think you need to spend this extra fee." Joanna walked on the roadside, and the noise of the car roared in her ears, which made her have to raise her tone to send the sound to Su Jingzhen's ears.

Su Jingzhen received an offer from New York University's Stern Business School. Of course, this is inseparable from the help of Yuan Guanghua and Ye Juwen. Every year, countless students go to North America and Europe to study, and there are many experienced admissions officers or lawyers in Hong Kong.

Because of this, with the pioneering of money, Su Jingzhen's language barriers were fine. He had excellent TOEFL scores, had a very good SAT score, and had an admissions officer who helped write recommendation letters in a targeted manner, so he easily got an offer.

This is because Su Jingzhen himself is relatively low-key. If this news is exposed in Tongguan Town Middle School, it will blind the eyes of a group of people, because a lot of teachers and classmates think that Su Jingzhen will fail this college entrance examination. His grades are average, and he can't even think about getting into a key university. If there is a miracle in general, there is still a little possibility. The biggest possibility is to go to a college or something. If he is lucky, he may not even be able to get into a college or a college.

"Will it be inconvenient to live with you?" Su Jingzhen had never lived with a girl in his two lives, especially in such a completely unfamiliar relationship.

"No, my last roommate was a man, a white student from South Africa." Joanna had studied Su Jingzhen's information, and of course she knew that he came from a relatively closed country. She was eliminating Su Jingzhen's nervousness and strangeness in her words, and of course she was also eliminating her own.

"Huh? This is Ford? It seems that your performance is pretty good." Su Jingzhen followed Joanna to the parking lot, and parked next to a car at her signal. Su Jingzhen seemed to recognize this as a Ford at a glance.

"This is not my car. Although mine is also a Ford, it is relatively small. I am afraid that I can't hold your salute and change it with my colleague. Fortunately, one is changed. Otherwise, if you are so tall, it will be a bit uncomfortable to get on my car." Joanna was a little surprised to see Su Jingzhen recognize this car. Isn't it said that China is very poor? People there are all using bicycles. The cars on the street are probably public transportation. How could he recognize this as a Ford?

Su Jingzhen didn't care what Joanna was thinking, and signaled her to open the back box lid and put the greeting in before talking about it.

"You have to live in New York for several years. It is very inconvenient to not have a car in the United States. If you get familiar with it these days, you have to take time to take a driver's license, otherwise it will be inconvenient to travel." Joanna also helped to move her luggage, but she, a girl less than 1.6 meters tall, couldn't help much, so she could only stand aside and talk to Su Jingzhen about some experiences of living in New York.

"Well, I know, the colleges of New York University are distributed in New York City. This is a university without walls. Isn't it said that New York is actually built in New York University." Su Jingzhen fiddled with the knowledge he knew a little, and he had read this information before coming.

After giving up his salute, Su Jingzhen sat in the passenger seat. The car moved slowly. Looking at the tall buildings in the distance, he silently encouraged himself. New York, I'm here!
