Chapter 1470: Aquarium
"Hello? Is that Zhou Jing? Hello, I'm Zhang Zian. When you were running the day before yesterday..."
Early in the morning of the third day, Zhang Zian stood on the balcony of the hotel. It was about the same time when Zhou Jing ran past here the day before yesterday, but she was not seen. It is probably because she changed the running route or the time, and waited again. After a while, I called her.
Because Zhou Jing didn't carry a mobile phone while running, he felt that the possibility of getting through the call was unlikely, and he was mentally prepared to call again in half an hour. Unexpectedly, after a few rings, the call was connected.
Zhou Jing's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Ah... oh, hello."
I don't know if the phone call caused the change in tone, Zhang Zian heard Zhou Jing's voice was a little hoarse, not as clear as when he met her the day before yesterday.
Zhang Zian said with some embarrassment: "Well...I want to go to the aquarium today. I don't know if it's convenient for you..."
If it was just for himself, he would definitely not ask for this favor, but visiting the aquarium is just an opportunity, he mainly wants to help Jiang Feifei to build relationships, and try to find an internship or job opportunity through Zhou Jing, but this is not convenient Ask someone for help as soon as you come up, and you are still a new acquaintance.
"Okay, come here, and call me when you come." Zhou Jing replied.
"By the way, I haven't asked which aquarium you belong to..." Zhang Zian asked awkwardly.
Zhou Jing snorted, "Sorry, I forgot to mention, it's the Monterey Aquarium."
"Okay, see you later."
Zhang Zian hung up the phone in embarrassment, always feeling that he would be taken as a slap in the face.
The Monterey Aquarium is one of the most prestigious aquariums in the United States and even in the world. It is said that in 1978, one of the founders of Hewlett-Packard spent 55 million dollars to support the daughter who studied marine life at Stanford...
$55 million in 1978!
Such a father, please give me a dozen!
However, I haven't heard that there is a mermaid show in the Monterey Oceanarium. Is it a new project?
In any case, the Monterey Oceanarium is the best choice. The other two aquariums, one in San Francisco are broken and small, and the other San Diego SeaWorld is more like a children's amusement park.
Old Cha asked suspiciously: "Zian,
Leaving Lippett alone... no problem? "
The elves have already heard that Zhang Zian ran into Li Pitt again during the foundation celebration last night, and Li Pitt seems to be making friends with celebrities and nobles in San Francisco, so as to expand his network of contacts. I think this is why he donated a lot of money to the foundation. Purpose, because philanthropy always wins the favor of others, and those who are passionate about philanthropy are born with extra points in the eyes of others.
Moreover, doing charity can also prove one's financial strength. Who would do charity for the poor?
In Lao Cha's view, the demagogues that Lipett and the others did are exactly the same as those of the Five Dou Rice Religion in ancient China. His heart can be punished.
The only question is, what exactly is Lipett up to?
Zhang Zian shook his head, "We can't control their affairs, and we can't control them. It's not illegal on American borders, and ordinary people may still be grateful to them."
He's just a tourist, not even an American citizen, so why should he care about Li Pete's affairs? If they forcibly stopped him, Li Pete and the others might instead call the police to arrest him and deport him. They might as well endure it for the time being and observe quietly.
After breakfast, he and the elves took the time to set off. Because the distance of the trip was not close, it was hard to imagine Zhou Jing working so far away, or did she not always live in the downtown area of San Francisco? The latter should be more likely.
The Monterey Aquarium is located on the Monterey Peninsula, more than 100 kilometers away from San Francisco. There are many famous attractions along the way, such as Silicon Valley and Stanford University.
Wandering around the world-renowned universities, sitting on the grass for a while, and feeling the atmosphere where the top students gathered, reminded Zhang Zian of the time when he was in school.
Silicon Valley is even more elite. Countless high-tech companies have their headquarters here. Maybe any company that launches a product tomorrow can change the world.
In addition, along the road, there is a little-known town, nicknamed Butterfly Town. It is said that from October to March every year, countless monarch butterflies will stay in the town for the winter during their migration, but Zhang Zian does not want to see it now. Butterflies are the only ones. Fortunately, it is summer now, and not a single butterfly can be seen in Butterfly Town.
After passing Butterfly Town, Monterey was not far ahead, and he found the location of the aquarium through navigation.
Today is not a weekend, nor is it a holiday. There are not many cars parked around the aquarium, and it is easy to find a parking space.
He stopped the car, picked up his mobile phone and was about to call Zhou Jing again, when Richard suddenly pinched his shoulder and said, "Gah? Look ahead, you idiot, who is that?"
Zhang Zian looked up, thinking he couldn't be Lippett again, right? Anyway, Lippett wouldn't come to the aquarium, right? What can he want here?
His gaze unconsciously scanned the man in front of him, looking for Lippett's trace, but he didn't see it, but saw a somewhat familiar figure from behind.
"Then... isn't that Xiaoxue? Why is she here?"
At first, he thought he was wrong, but after rubbing his eyes, he saw that it was indeed Xiaoxue.
It's rare to meet them abroad, but it's not appropriate to go to say hello, he thought, and then told the elves to get off the car.
"Hello, everyone..."
Xiaoxue was facing the phone camera, and was about to say the usual opening remarks to the audience in the live broadcast room, when a head suddenly stuck out in front of her eyes, blocking her and the phone, which shocked her.
"Hi everyone, I'm Dashuaibi the store manager!"
Zhang Zian's face suddenly appeared in the live broadcast room, with both hands still gesticulating with the letter V next to his head. Because he was too close to the camera, his face was distorted. The audience was all frightened and reacted After that, he cursed endlessly.
"Shop...Mr. Store Manager, why are you here?"
Xiaoxue was both surprised and a little happy. She took a few steps back and pointed her phone at him.
"Why can't I be here?" Zhang Zian asked back, "If you can come, can't I?"
"No...that's not what I meant..." Xiaoxue clarified, "I mean..."
"Wait a minute." Zhang Zian waved his hand, interrupting her explanation, "I'll make a phone call first."
He dialed Zhou Jing's number, and within a few minutes, Zhou Jing came out of the aquarium, but her complexion was very bad, and her walking posture seemed weak.
