Chen Guang was also a little unhappy. Previously, the two of them had agreed to return to China together. Tang Ying had booked a seat first, and he had called the Civil Aviation Administration to book a seat next to Tang Ying.
Originally, the two of them had agreed to sit side by side in the first-class cabin. With such a long flight, they might even be able to take the opportunity to do it like before.
They might even be able to do something else. * Cough *
But now, it was all over. Tang Ying had been transferred to economy class.
Mei Zhong Airlines was clearly not giving him any face!
Alright, he and Tang Ying had booked their tickets separately, so Mei Zhong Airlines might not be aware of their relationship.
Since Chen Guang had taken quite a bit of advantage from the civil aviation industry, he felt that it wasn't a crime to be ignorant. Hence, there's no need for him to make a fuss over such a small matter, and he decided to let people off the hook whenever possible.
In the past, he had always cut the queue and snatched other people's seats without paying. God knows how many people had been forced to descend because of his sudden whim. As the saying goes, "Those who do evil will bring about their own destruction." He had done too many bad things and could not avoid retribution.
Although the retribution for the descent did not fall on his head, it was the same thing for Tang Ying.
I have to help the airline company appease the angry passengers.
With that thought in mind, his butt was crooked.
"I'm going to call their boss later! Calm down. Sister Tang Ying, calm down first! "
As he spoke, he patted Tang Ying's shoulder.
Tang Ying glared at him. "Why are you still speaking up for the airline company?"
Chuckling, Chen Guang replied, "How can you put it that way? I'm not speaking up for them. In fact, I used to cause people to descend often. Let's be more understanding. The seats in economy class are a little narrow, and we can sit close together. It's fine. "
"Forget it. I'm not that spoiled. I've even bought a special ticket that Eastern Airlines doesn't have. I'm just a little unhappy that they surrendered without saying a word. "
Tang Ying rolled her eyes and waved her hand.
"That's right. They are of low standards. I will really get the Civil Aviation Association to reprimand Mei Zhong Airlines' staff, okay?"
Chen Guang added.
At this time, Tang Xiaokai, who was next to her, also helped to absolve her. "That's right. I also know the global vice president of American Airlines. Sis, I'll help you redress this injustice! But don't worry about it today. You don't like to be special. Their airlines have always done things like this. Pan Am is slightly better, but American Airlines' service attitude in this area is indeed problematic. "
"Alright, alright. Look at the two of you. You make it sound like I'm the one who's unruly and willful."
The three of them chatted for a while. Tang Xiaokai had other things to do in Los Angeles, so he left first.
There was still some time before takeoff, so Chen Guang and Tang Ying found a cafe in the airport lobby and sat down. After that, he called the Civil Aviation Association's specialist, who specialized in serving the highest-level VIP customers, to voluntarily downgrade from first class to economy class.
Recipients of the Hero Medal had a higher priority than VIP customers. As soon as Chen Guang made the call, he naturally received the highest level of service. He enjoyed the same or even better treatment as top billionaires like Buffett, Gates, and Zuckerberg when they took private flights on commercial airliners. There was an extremely high level of confidentiality, even higher than that of ordinary US government officials.
Only the specialist, who personally adjusted the seat for him, knew what was going on, who wanted to change the seat, and how it was done.
In addition, because Chen Guang's own reputation was too resounding recently, he did not want to cause too much of a stir when he returned to China. Therefore, when he contacted the specialist, he took the initiative to further increase the level of confidentiality.
As for American Airlines, the highest-level security certification department knew the specific details. However, due to the confidentiality agreement, they would not immediately inform the Los Angeles Airport and the ordinary staff on Chen Guang's flight.
They did not need to know why, nor did they need to know who wanted to change the seat. They only needed to execute and implement it.
The highest responsibility of the entire aviation safety system was the Safety Committee. With the Safety Committee's stamp of approval, the passenger's identity was already foolproof.
When the passenger's identity was verified for the last time before departure, they could see the name Chen Guang, but before that, they were not qualified to check it in advance.
Downgrading was difficult, and it was easy to offend people. However, allowing a lone passenger to be upgraded from economy class to first class for free was simply a matter of a phone call. What's more, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong with the seat, Chen Guang even took the initiative to provide the passenger with two thousand dollars in cash as compensation.
After waiting for about an hour, the two finally got on the plane.
Tang Ying stuffed her carry-on bag under her feet and complained unhappily, "I should have put my bag in the suitcase. Economy class is too narrow."
Chen Guang wasn't any better than her. He also had a bag with him, which he used to store his laptop and the Omnipotent Holy Grail.
"Look at you, Sister Tang Ying. One look and I can tell that you've never lived a poor life. Don't even mention economy class. A year ago, when I was as poor as a doornail, I went to another city to do part-time work. I couldn't afford a berth, and I couldn't even get a seat ticket. All I could buy was a standing ticket and squat in the green train aisle for a whole night. What's this today?"
Tang Ying pinched Chen Guang's waist in annoyance, "You're the only one who has a lot of life experience, okay?"
"Hehe, I don't deserve it."
Chen Guang chuckled, "Sorry for not recognizing you. Sister Tang Ying, you're also very good. I used to think that the best doctors were in their seventies or eighties, but after meeting you, I realized that doctors in their twenties can also be so outstanding."
Tang Ying was not moved by his flattery at all, "You have the cheek to say such things? I won't talk about your other things. I won't talk about you, the newly minted Oscar winner. Just the photocatalyst that you created a while ago was able to attract the attention of laboratories like Prince, Alamo, and Cambridge. Even if there were ten of me, I wouldn't be able to match your achievements. I think you're mocking me. "
Chen Guang was embarrassed by her praise, "Shh, shh, lower your voice. Don't let anyone recognize me."
As he said that, he desperately pulled the brim of his hat down to cover his face, and then he pretended to be modest, "Don't praise me anymore. If you continue to brag, I'll be in heaven."
"Brag?"
Tang Ying turned around and looked at him with a playful look, "You're not serious, kid."
Chen Guang felt wronged, "I'm very serious, okay?!"
"I know you're still thinking about the past. You're not serious when you get on the plane. You're still bragging? Going to heaven? You're still calling yourself serious? Have you no shame? Brag … "
As she said that, she deliberately pouted her lips and made a very meaningful gesture.
Chen Guang: "…"
Sister Tang Ying's sudden burst of unorthodox ideas was a little sharp.
"Okay, okay, I'll stop joking with you. If it wasn't for the fact that we're in economy class and there are people next to us, I really didn't intend to let you off. I'm a professional medical researcher, and I'm actually left in the dust by a half-baked person like you in terms of knowledge. I really can't accept this. Don't worry, wait for me to collect more samples from you and decipher your genetic code. In the future, all of humanity will remember my contribution! Who knows, maybe you're hiding the secret to the next stage of human evolution! If I achieve my goal, I can be even greater than Darwin! "
Tang Ying, who was sitting near the aisle, whispered into Chen Guang's ear on her right.
Chen Guang had a very unique feeling. She was clearly talking about a very great and noble goal, but his heart was in turmoil, as if it was being scratched by a cat's paw.
"Okay, then I, as a lab rat, will have to risk my life to accompany you."
Chen Guang didn't want to be someone else's lab rat, but if it was Tang Ying, then he didn't mind.
Everyone was so familiar with each other, they met when they were down, their relationship was extraordinary, and Tang Ying's sample collection process was so …
"Oh yeah, one more thing. Sister Tang Ying, how much is the initial investment for your research institute? Will Gokyo University and Morlens each pay half? "
Chen Guang asked as they whispered to each other.
Tang Ying stomped her feet in anger. "Stop it, I'm angry when you mention it. My saliva is almost dry. No matter what I say, I made it very clear that if you want to build a biomedical laboratory of a sufficient level, just the purchase of the most basic equipment and instruments will cost at least 50 million USD. This does not include the other construction costs of purchasing land in the five capitals and the cost of manpower. "
Chen Guang scratched his head. "It's just studying my genes, is there a need for such a big deal?"
Tang Ying: "In genomics, there's not much difference between studying a person and studying a pig."
"I think you're scolding me."
"You can think whatever you want. If it's just a human genomics experiment, the workload won't be too big, but you're too different from ordinary people. I think it's very likely that more than 10% of your genes will have to be re-measured. "
"That's not a big workload, right?"
"A person has three billion base pairs! That's not a big workload? "
"Okay … okay, it's a lot."
"That's why I'm very angry. My alma mater, Morlens and Gokyo University, are too stingy. It's not a problem for them to provide manpower, but when it comes to money, they're all misers. They can't even give me 20 million USD. "
"Then why don't you provide your own money?"
Tang Ying shrugged. "Do you think I didn't ask Xiao Kai and my dad? They don't agree. They all know that genomics is actually doing public welfare for humanity. It's purely a waste of money. They look like they care more about money than their lives. They're all businessmen. "
"How can you talk about your father and brother like that? Aren't they very generous to me? "
"That's because investing in you has a greater profit, okay? Forget it, anyway, let's leave it at that for now. 20 million USD, I'll reluctantly set up the framework. I'll take it one step at a time. "
However, Chen Guang smiled meaningfully. "Sister Tang Ying, in my humble opinion, you've forgotten a very important thing."
"What?"
"The person sitting next to you is probably the number one nouveau riche of this year. He's lacking in everything now, but he's not lacking in money. "
Tang Ying's eyes gradually lit up. "Hey, why didn't I think of that earlier!"
Chen Guang continued to chuckle. "50 million USD? What is this? It's not that I'm bragging, but I can even take out 500 million now! "
He really wasn't joking. Although the cost of coming to America was not small, the income was even higher.
The box office of the movie, the development of "Romeo and Juliet", and the crazily selling "World's Pie" were all living old hens that could lay golden eggs!
While the two were chatting happily, they were puzzled as to why the plane was still not taking off.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the aisle. Tang Ying straightened her head and craned her neck to look behind her. "What's going on?"
Standing in the aisle were two burly male airport staff. The two of them walked along the rows of seats and raised their heads to meet Tang Ying's gaze.
Then, the two men's eyes lit up. They stopped counting and walked over with large strides.
One of the burly black men said loudly in a low, muffled voice, "This Chinese lady, oh, and this Chinese man next to you, please leave the plane."
The white man next to him added, "Sorry, our tickets are oversold."
Tang Ying was stunned. She had been flying for so many years and had encountered situations where she couldn't board a plane because of oversold tickets.
But that had never happened to her before!
Besides, if it was really oversold, she wouldn't even be able to get a boarding pass.
She had never heard of an oversold ticket when the person was already on the plane.
Bullsh * t!
