Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

He installed the domestic mobile phone card on the plane. After turning on the phone, he habitually opened the address book and rummaged through it casually. When the word "Chen Yu" jumped into his eyes inadvertently, all the noisy and chaotic sounds around him suddenly disappeared. Disappearing, like an invisible cover separating him from the world, his steps stopped unconsciously.

The planes rising and falling outside the window seemed to remind him of the scene that made him collapse. His thumb kept rubbing the screen of his mobile phone. Her voice, face, and smile seemed to be all around him in front of his eyes and in his ears. When he thought about things changing and people changing, he I couldn't help but have mixed feelings.

He stood quietly for more than ten minutes, until there was no one around him, then he slowly put the phone back into his pocket and walked forward again.

He quickly arrived at the baggage claim carousel. I wonder if the checked baggage was checked in early, which caused his luggage to be at the bottom. There were some scattered luggage coming out, but they were not his.

While waiting for his luggage, he took out his notebook from his bag, wondering if Lao Bai would reply to him. But to his surprise, there was neither free Wi-Fi nor a wired interface in the T2 terminal. He simply He dialed Lao Bai directly. Although international long distance calls were expensive, he was really in a hurry.

This time Lao Bai turned on the phone, his voice was as stable as ever, and it sounded like he had read Dong Qiangqiang's email: "I landed and you returned to China, just in time."

Time is money, so Dong Qiangqiang must go straight to the point: "The bank suspected me of laundering the [-] euros."

"Don't worry, I thought of it when I gave it to you. When I get to the company, I will deal with your matter first. One proof of work and one proof of bonus. That's all, right? Simple." Lao Bai answered lightly, and Dong Qiangqiang hung up on the stone all the way. Only then did he land, Lao Bai was indeed cautious enough.

"After you open it, send it directly to the lawyer. I've also written the law firm's address in the email. Please do it as soon as possible."

"Well, I'll ship via DHL and I'll be there soon. How long will you stay this time?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. It depends on the situation. The current plan is one week."

"Be adaptable and get back as soon as possible. Contact Lele when you have time. She is also at BJ. Also, let me know when you answer the phone so you can email me back and I will call you. It's cheap."

Lao Bai hung up the phone without any more greetings. At this time, Dong Qiangqiang's two big boxes jumped out one after another. He pushed the suitcases and walked out of the gate with other people who had picked up their luggage.

It was almost six o'clock in the afternoon. To Dong Qiangqiang's surprise, there were very few people holding signs to pick him up at the gate. He couldn't help but think of the scene when he first set out. At that time, the gate was crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder. As time passed, things changed. Compared with the situation at that time, it can be said that there is nothing to do now.

It wasn't until he pushed the luggage trolley out of the hall door that Dong Qiangqiang remembered that he had two unresolved problems: First, he needed RMB to take a taxi, but he had no money; second, he didn't know where to take a taxi.Whether he was going to the hospital or his new home, he didn't know the place, and even if he knew the address of his new home, he couldn't get in because he didn't have the key, so he had to contact Mother Dong first.

But even if he was in the city at this time, the bank was closed to the public. He pushed his luggage and turned around and entered the lobby again. After walking 50 meters, he saw a foreign currency exchange point.

He handed over two thin euros at the window, and the staff expressionlessly put a few hundred-dollar bills, a few small bills and a handful of steel coins into the stainless steel tray under the window.

When he first arrived in Germany, Dong Qiangqiang had a habit of multiplying everything by ten subconsciously, converting it into RMB, and then comparing the prices with the same items in China. Finally, he came to the conclusion that everything was expensive in Germany, which made him reluctant to buy anything.Now when I see two banknotes being exchanged for a pile of colorful money, I can't help but feel emotional again.

Dong Qiangqiang pocketed the money and pushed his luggage out of the main entrance of the hall again. He happened to meet a taxi. As soon as Dong Qiangqiang said he was going to the city, the driver enthusiastically stuffed Dong Qiangqiang's luggage into the trunk. The suitcase was so full that the driver had no choice but to stuff another suitcase into the second row and let Dong Qiangqiang sit in the passenger seat.

As the driver drove out, he asked Dong Qiangqiang where he was going. Dong Qiangqiang didn't know, so he asked the driver to get on the airport expressway first, while he called Dong's mother. In a few words, he told Dong Qiangqiang the hospital and ward where his father was, and gave a brief report. He hurriedly hung up the phone because of the exam situation.

There were not many cars on the road, and the car quickly got off the highway and sped towards the hospital.Dong Qiangqiang rolled down the window, and the cool and moist air hit his face. He looked at this familiar and unfamiliar city. As far as he could see, there were buildings rising from the ground, which looked tall and silent in the twilight of the setting sun.

From time to time, he could see construction sites in progress. Groups of mechanized equipment were busy busy at the construction site. The construction site did not stop working just because it passed six o'clock. It was still a brightly lit and busy scene.

The streets that occasionally flashed past his eyes did not look much different from when he left. There were not many buses running on the road, but there were indeed not many people in the cars, and there were not many pedestrians on the road.

He paid special attention to the cars running down the street. About a quarter of them were Volkswagen or its brands.When he left BJ, most of the taxis on the street were Fukang and Xiali, but the number was not large anymore. Now, the taxis on the street were mainly Santana 2000 and Hyundai. He was a little confused: the starting prices of these two models were They should all be more expensive than Fukang. Is it because consumers’ incomes have increased?It seems like I should go to the 4S store if I have time, he said to himself.

Seeing Dong Qiangqiang staring thoughtfully out of the window without saying a word, the driver secretly took out a cigarette from the box and just about to light it, Dong Qiangqiang said without looking away: "Master, please don't smoke, thank you."

The driver swallowed and retracted his hand in embarrassment. He smiled and said, "You've never been to a BJ before, have you?"

"It looks strange." Dong Qiangqiang was amused by the driver. He pointed to the unfinished heavy bridge piers on both sides of the ring road in the distance and answered the question, "What is the master repairing over there?"

The driver glanced at the direction Dong Qiangqiang was pointing and replied without thinking: "The five rings will be available by the end of the year."

"That's the fifth ring?" In Dong Qiangqiang's impression, the fifth ring had just been built not long ago when he went abroad. "It was too fast." He couldn't help but sigh.

"What's this?" The driver became more and more certain that Dong Qiangqiang was just a "foreigner" who had just arrived and had never seen much of the world. He was quite dismissive of his emotion and couldn't help showing off, "I'm telling you this, here This is the capital, and everything here must be done with efficiency. Let me tell you this, in two years the sixth and seventh rings will be available."

The driver's words made Dong Qiangqiang suddenly feel strange. Although he had only been away for two years, the BJ here was changing with each passing day and was very different from the BJ when he left. It no longer seemed like the place where he grew up, and he didn't look like BJ. People are more like tourists in a foreign land.

When it got dark, the taxi dropped Dong Qiangqiang, who was dragging two large suitcases, at the door of the hospital.There was no one in the hospital at this time, but even so, there were still many strange eyes looking at him curiously.

Dong Qiangqiang carried two suitcases and went straight into the entrance reception room.

As soon as he opened the door, he met the surprised looks of two security guards.

"Hello, I'm here to visit a patient. Can I temporarily store my suitcase with you?"

The two security guards looked at each other. After a few seconds, the older one stood up and said, "No, no, we don't allow it here. Take it away quickly."

"I don't have any dangerous items here. They are all my personal clothes. I came to visit my family in... the Department of Respiratory Medicine." Dong Qiangqiang originally wanted to say "Department of Infectious Diseases", but he was afraid of being tabooed by the other party, so he hurriedly changed his words to "Respiratory Medicine". Internal Medicine”.

"That's not okay. We have regulations. Take it away quickly." The security guard said, opening the door and clearing Dong Qiangqiang and the two boxes out without any explanation.

Since the other party wouldn't let her save it and it was inconvenient to carry it, he simply stared at the hospital gate. Anyway, it was less than an hour before Dong's mother and the nurse changed shifts, and Dong's mother should leave the hospital soon.
