After walking around the construction site, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Bai Qianzhou looked at his watch and turned to remind Fu Wan:

"It's almost time, we have to leave for the airport."

Although the flight was at 7 o'clock, in order to prevent any uncertainties, Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou had to arrive at the airport a few hours in advance.

Qin Fu heard this and immediately said, "I'll take you there!"

Fu Wan didn't bother to be polite with him. After all, having a car was convenient and saved her the time of hailing a taxi.

There were three people in a car. Bai Qianzhou opened the back door and waited for Fu Wan to get in before he went to the passenger seat.

"I forgot to ask, where are you going?"

"Los Angeles."

Bai Qianzhou spoke concisely and uttered three words lightly.

"Los Angeles? What are you doing in Los Angeles at this time?"

Qin Fu was a little confused. The Chinese New Year was still more than a month away, and it was a question whether the two of them could make it in time for the New Year.

Fu Wan thought for a moment and replied, "Let's go to Los Angeles to visit relatives."

It is impossible to tell the truth, but the reasons Sun Shaoping gave them can indeed be used.

Visiting relatives?

Qin Fu didn't ask any further questions after hearing this. He was not a rookie who had just entered society. Talking to people also required some knowledge. If others were unwilling to talk about something, he would just ask briefly and naturally would not delve into it further.

But he took a look at the clothes on Bai Qianzhou and Fu Wan. They were both wearing thick cotton coats, and the capital was very cold in December.

"How's the weather in Los Angeles? Is it as cold as in Beijing?"

This random question actually stumped Fu Wan. She clapped her hands lightly, feeling a little annoyed.

Oops, how could I forget such an important thing? I forgot to pay attention to the weather in Los Angeles.

But Bai Qianzhou was obviously more experienced. "Don't worry, the temperature in Los Angeles will be warmer than in Beijing. We have some light clothes in our luggage. If all else fails, we can buy some when we land."

As the old saying goes, there is nothing that money can't solve.

It’s just a question of whether there is enough money.

Of course, this did not exist for Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou. Bai Qianzhou prepared 5,000 US dollars in advance, and Fu Wan also exchanged some at the post office as a backup.

In addition, she also carried two small gold bars with her in case of emergency.

While chatting, the car soon arrived at the airport.

Qin Fu found a suitable spot to park the car. After Fu Wan and the others got out, he couldn't help but nag a few words: "Comrade Xiao Fu, Xiao Bai, remember to call me if anything happens. When you return to Beijing, we'll get together again."

"Okay, Brother Qin Liu, don't worry!"

Fu Wan waved at him while holding her luggage, and then the two of them walked towards the airport gate.

Compared to Bai Qianzhou's calmness, Fu Wan took several glances at the conspicuous terminal building as soon as she got off the car.

The capital's airport opened in March 1958, the first civilian airport built and put into operation after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Initially built with a small terminal building, the airport opened its new terminal on New Year's Day 3. Furthermore, in 1959, the airport also implemented numerous water fountains and greening projects. The sight Fu Wan witnessed now gave her a sense of returning to the modern era. Aerial view of the airport in 1980. Internationalization had already taken its initial form; the Longhai Railway Station, a mere two or three hundred square meters, was incomparable.

The country is indeed becoming stronger!

Fu Wan secretly admired in her heart and felt extremely happy that she could witness such a process again.

The corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, and Bai Qianzhou naturally noticed this change in emotion.

"Is there something happy?"

Fu Wan didn't hide it and immediately nodded with a smile, "Seeing such a magnificent airport, I'm happy for my country!"

Bai Qianzhou also smiled when he heard this, "That's indeed worth being happy about!"

If you want to know who has the most profound feelings about the changes in Beijing Airport, Bai Qianzhou, who has studied abroad for several years, naturally has a say.

When he went abroad as a teenager, the Capital Airport was still a small Soviet-style building. When he came back, the airport was no different from modern airports abroad.

With Bai Qianzhou leading the way, the two of them quickly completed the waiting procedures. Although this business trip to the United States was for the organization and all expenses were reimbursed, Fu Wan and her companions still didn't have the luxury of using the organization's money to book first-class tickets.

After getting on the plane, Fu Wan put down the cloth bag in her hand and casually asked a flight attendant who passed by her.

"Comrade, how long does it take for our flight to reach Los Angeles?"

"Ma'am, the flight leaves at 7:00 PM sharp, and we'll arrive in Los Angeles at 5:00 AM tomorrow morning."

From seven to five, that's a full ten hours.

If she had to sit in economy class for ten hours, Fu Wan couldn't even imagine how miserable she would feel when she arrived the next day.

Such departure and arrival times would later be known as red-eye flights. However, this was the only flight from Beijing to Los Angeles, so Fu Wan had no choice but to choose it.

Just after asking the flight attendant, Bai Qianzhou walked over from not far away.

"Awan, there aren't many people on the plane, and there are still plenty of seats in first class."

"I just got an upgrade, let's go now!"

Fu Wan was pleasantly surprised when she heard this. "First class? I was just wondering if I should go ask."

The organization can only reimburse economy class, but they can pay for first class at their own expense!

Economy class was affordable, but far less comfortable than first class. For Fu Wan, who had plenty of money, comfort was more important.

Bai Qianzhou naturally thought of this. You have to know that if he was not familiar with the United States, had the language advantage, and was already familiar with Fu Wan, he would not have had the opportunity to have Fu Wan come out this time.

Fu Ming and Qin An Ning have both obtained their marriage certificate, so he has to work harder!

So he must seize this opportunity to improve his favorability.

Seeing this, Fu Wan didn't bother to be polite with him and said that she would pay for the return trip.

When the two of them arrived at the first-class cabin, there were only a few people there. Few people could afford or be willing to buy a plane ticket these days, let alone fly first class.

The seats in the first class are much more spacious than those in the economy class. As soon as Fu Wan put down her things and sat down, a flight attendant came to greet her.

"Ma'am, how can I help you?"

Fu Wan thought for a moment and said, "Please get me a blanket, thank you."

There is still a lot of time before arriving in Los Angeles, and she is feeling a little sleepy, so she wants to sleep as long as possible.

The flight attendant's service is always thoughtful. She not only brought a blanket, but also two simple eye masks.

Fu Wan was also amazed when she took it. The eye masks of this era were not particularly exquisite. Simply put, they were just a piece of comfortable cloth.

Fu Wan didn't mind it, after all, it was good to have it. She took the blanket and covered herself with it. When she was about to fall asleep, the flight attendant came over and asked her if she wanted something to eat.
