Chapter 451 Museum
The passenger plane landed at New York's LaGuardia Airport. Lin Xian, who had woken up from a nap, felt refreshed. It happened to be a sunny day again after getting off the plane. The boarding stairs faced the deep blue sea of Flushing Bay, blowing in the sea breeze with a little dampness. The smell, looking at the sparkling sea in the distance instantly gave people the feeling of a spilled milk glass, and all the comfortable warmth flowed from the table.
After getting off the plane, he entered the departure hall and picked up his suitcase. As soon as he left the airport hall, Lin Xian, who was holding Lin Nian's arm, noticed a group of people gathered on the edge of the busy road not far away, including passers-by and photographers. As if he was watching something, he got closer and found a silver-white Rolls-Royce parked there.
The car's logo shines dazzlingly in the sun. The four-door elongated model is so luxurious that it feels unreal. Every window is covered with privacy film and has a black shade curtain inside. Even the license plate on the front and rear of the car is not on. Everyone is gossiping about who this car is waiting for at the airport. Is it one of the two Bergs or other big names coming to New York for business?
Lin Xian just took a look and didn't want to continue looking. Lin Nian next to him also took a look, and then started to get inside. After squeezing through the crowd, he stretched his head to confirm the model of the car. It was indeed his. It was the same car in my mind, but now there were two or three New York girls taking photos beside the door, wearing sunglasses on their heads and carrying bags to show off their waistlines to the camera.
"You want to take a photo too?" Lin Xian looked at Lin Nian and asked jokingly.
"It depends on who you take pictures with. Taking pictures with a car is not interesting, but taking pictures with you is interesting." Lin Nian said with a frown.
"You don't like such a good car?" Lin Xian laughed.
"The 100-meter acceleration is not faster than mine." Lin Nian seemed a little uninterested.
But he still pulled Lin Xian to the side of the silver car. The three New York girls were a little surprised to see Lin Xian and Lin Nian approaching, but after noticing the two people's extraordinary good looks, they all took the initiative to get out of the way. You need to take a photo with them at both locations.
Lin Nian walked to the door and was put on his shoulders by girls on the left and right. He had no choice but to turn around and raise his scissor hands to the camera. Lin Xian also raised his scissor hands to take a photo behind his head, and then pulled He opened the car door and started to get inside. Several New York girls on the side were stunned, thinking that if everyone was just hanging out outside, wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to go inside directly?
But the imaginary angry voice from the car owner did not come out. After the two siblings got in the car, they closed the door to block the noise and sight outside. The black electronic partition on the front seat slowly opened to reveal the cab. The young driver in a suit and ties looked up at the boy and girl in the rearview mirror. After confirming Lin Nian's identity, he nodded slightly and said, "Miss, you have been waiting for a long time."
"Then lead the way." Lin Nian nodded.
Of course, Cassel College will not arrange an eight-figure luxury car to pick up the commissioner. Although the executive department has money, it will never squander it on such a place, so whether it is the Bentley in Chicago or the current star-topped car The car was specially arranged for Lin Nian and Lin Xian by someone else, just so that they could see her as soon as possible after landing.
Then the electronic partition rose, and a group of people on the roadside outside the car could only retreat to avoid the moving silver car amidst the sound of the ignition engine, and stared blankly at the taillights of the car entering the traffic and leaving the airport. Several photographers They all began to regret not taking more photos of the boy and girl who had just entered the car. Those who managed to take a group photo couldn't help but pull out the photos to identify who the boy and girl were who were too young.
As soon as they turned on the camera, they inexplicably found that the photos they had just taken had been cleared. Not a single one was left.

After driving for a while, the silver car gradually entered the urban area of New York. LaGuardia Airport is located in Queens, which is the largest area among the five boroughs of New York. The vast area naturally represents prosperity and the huge gap between the rich and the poor. . The superhero Spider-Man in the movie "Spider-Man" also grew up in Queens. He laughs at the fact that Queens has a large population and a large number of poor people. Brooklyn is often compared to Queens, and some big cities I mean, I look down on people from small cities, but this kind of discrimination is even more serious in New York.
This good car drove smoothly on the road. Lin Xian gently opened a corner of the blinds and looked outside. This car was the focus of everyone's eyes no matter where it went. It was not often taken on the roadside. After we stopped, what was even more interesting was that a policeman at the intersection immediately got on his motorcycle and dispatched the police after seeing that the car did not have a license plate. The old policeman on the side went up and held the stupid young man down, yelling and scolding him.
It seems that this car has been greeted in advance. The owner does not want to be too ostentatious about this meeting. The information of the passengers in the car will be hidden. But who is the owner who can do this? When did Lin Nian know this kind of person?
The long drive was not boring and slow. No other car on the road dared to overtake or miss other cars in this car. Instead, the driver tried to overtake the car in front, glanced at the mirror, and immediately slowed down and turned the steering wheel to the right to avoid it. This was true. Their schedule was reduced by more than half, and they soon arrived at the Lowell Hotel they had booked.
As soon as the car stopped, a hotel waiter came to open the door. There was no need for Lin Nian and Lin Xian to do anything. They didn't even have to get out of the car. The waiter very considerately informed them that their identity information had been entered in advance and they only needed to carry their bags and check in. That's it. If you have other things to deal with now, you can go and deal with them first. It won't be a problem to come back to the hotel later.
Lin Xian wanted to say that we had nothing to do, but Lin Nian stretched out his hand to stop her. Then she remembered that Lin Nian said that he wanted to meet someone before coming to New York. After delivering the luggage, the car continued to set off without stopping, and this time the drive was shorter. They arrived at their destination, the Metropolitan Museum, in less than ten minutes.
Lin Nian and Lin Xian got out of the car. The driver stood quietly by the car door and waited the whole time. Lin Xian looked at the driver and then at Lin Nian and asked, "How about I wait in the car?"
"Isn't it boring?"
"It's not that boring. At least there are free drinks to play with PAD."
"Let's go in and take a look around. It's really unreasonable not to take a look when you come to the museum. Besides, I just had a casual chat with that person. It's not something too important." Young Lin gently pushed Lin Xian's back, and together they He walked towards the museum door and said casually.
"It's hard to deal with the girl you asked to meet in the museum. Brother, please show your best. Then I will wander around for a while so as not to cause any trouble for you." Lin Xian patted Lin Nian.
After the two entered the museum, they found that there were very few people in the hall. In other words, there was no sign of anyone else except them. It was obvious that the Metropolitan Museum was closed today and only received a few guests who had made reservations.
The neo-Gothic structure, huge Corinthian stone columns, exquisite wall sculptures and spacious arches appear empty at first glance, but many entrances are blocked by red lines. After Lin Nian walked in, hurried and loud footsteps immediately sounded deep in the hall. A middle-aged man dressed in a suit who looked like a museum manager hurried over. He glanced at Lin Xian and then at Lin Nian. When he saw the latter, his eyes visibly lit up and he determined his target. He leaned over and stretched out his hand, picked up a few words in Mandarin and started to say hello, "Hello, hello. Is this Mr. Lin?"
"Yes, just speak English." Listening to the Mandarin with a Minnan accent, Lin Nian could barely tell that the other party was saying hello to him, stretched out his hand to shake his hand, and turned his head to look to his side. The girl signaled to the other party that she was not alone, "There is also Miss Lin."
"Hello, Mrs. Lin, hello, Mrs. Lin." The middle-aged man shook Lin Xian's hand again and greeted him warmly in English. But when he looked up, he found Lin Xian looking at him with a half-smiling expression, and Lin Nian was also beside him. He rolled his eyes and realized that he had made a joke. A drop of cold sweat left his forehead and he took a breath, "I'm sorry. Did I make something wrong?"
"My sister." Lin Nian explained.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I see you two are so perfect for each other. Sorry, sorry, I won't talk nonsense." The manager saw that he was getting more and more confused, and his back was almost wet with sweat. But he knew that these two people in front of him The background behind the seemingly ordinary boy and girl, just those few misunderstandings would have cost him his job.
"It's nothing. The person I want to see is already inside, right?" Lin Nian shook his head. It was not the first time that he and Lin Xian had been misunderstood anyway, so they just laughed it off.
"Ms. Laurent is already waiting for you in the original exhibition area. Would you like to go there together?" the manager asked tentatively, looking at the two of them.
"She only wants to see me, right? Find someone to take my sister for a walk." Lin Nian nodded.
"That's the best." The manager got a satisfactory answer and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately picked up the pager and notified the backstage to call a museum commentator. After finishing everything, he turned around and walked towards an entrance, removed the red line, raised his hand and asked Lin Nian followed his footsteps.
"Just wait here for a while. I will go to other exhibition areas to find you in a while." Lin Nian looked at Lin Xian and nodded.
"Don't worry, it's my first time to visit a museum in New York. It's fun to play around. Traveling is all about walking around." Lin Xian shrugged, "It's you, why don't you go quickly? The beauty has you Make an appointment."
"Got it." Lin Nian waved his hand, stopped nagging Lin Xian, and followed the manager who was waiting patiently in the distance with his hands folded.
At the same place, Lin Xian stopped and waited for a while before hearing the loud sound of high heels. He turned around and found a petite girl in a white suit walking from another entrance. Even wearing high heels could not hide it. She was tall enough to make any boy dote on her, and with a serious look on her face, she walked up to Lin Xian and bowed, "Miss Lin Xian, right?"
"Yes, I am."
"Then please come here. Today's museum is only open to VIPs. Have you learned anything before coming to this museum? Which exhibition area are you more interested in?"
"Primitive art? I guess, I prefer to explore some issues before ancient history. It's just a pity that there should be people there, so let's take a step back and look at medieval art. I heard that there were also leftovers from that period. Many interesting stories." Lin Xian said with a smile.
"Okay, then please follow me." The petite girl also smiled and walked in front to lead the way, and behind her, Lin Xian turned around and looked around at everything that was new to her.
