Chapter 8 Mixing Into Pan Am

Through the window, looking at Frank leaving with his head down on the street, Li Changheng suddenly felt that he was too cold-blooded.

After all, he is just a half-grown kid who ran away from home at the age of 16. If he wants to get along in the past month, he still has some friendship. Maybe it would be good to treat him as a younger brother.

But within ten seconds of the thought disappearing from Frank's back, he was thrown into the sky by Li Changheng.

Needing help is a matter of later, and Frank at this time is definitely a problem.

Half an hour later, I went downstairs to a convenience store not far away, and wrote down the phone numbers of San Francisco Pan Am and the airport in the thick phone book.

After changing some change, I ran to the public phone booth on the street, called the airport, and confirmed how many direct flights to New York were available today.

Li Changheng dialed the customer service number of Pan American Airlines.

After a few beeps, the microphone came, "Hello, this is Pan Am Airlines, what can I do for you?"

"Hi, hello," Li Changheng stabilized his mind, took a deep breath, and tried to speak in a normal tone, "I'm Henry Taylor, Pan Am's first officer, and I have to fly to New York tonight.

The people at the hotel told me just now that the co-pilot's suit that was put in the hotel for dry cleaning was missing.

Although the hotel said it would pay for the clothing, but I will be boarding the Boeing 707 in three hours, so I can only ask you for help."

I thought the other party might refuse, but I didn't expect the customer service on the phone to agree.

"This kind of thing is very common. You don't have to worry too much. Our customer service basically receives calls from the captain or other flight crew who lost their clothes every day.

I'll transfer you to the logistics department, Captain Taylor."

There was a beeping sound from the microphone, "Pan Am Logistics Department, how can I help you?"

Li Changheng repeated what he said just now, and soon a voice came from the microphone saying, "You can go to the clothing customization center at 189 Stry Street in San Francisco,

There are urgent handmade clothes for sale, the only trouble is that the price will be very good."

"It's better to be expensive than not to be able to board the phone, thank you." Li Changheng hung up the phone, but was in no hurry to go to the clothing customization center.

Instead, he dropped another 10-cent coin and dialed Pan Am's customer service again. The person who heard the conversation was not the customer service just now.

Li Changheng said with a suppressed voice, "Hello, my name is Henry Howard, and I am a reporter for the school newspaper of St. Langley School. I called you because many students in the school are interested in the profession of captain.

And you Pan Am is the most famous airline in the United States, our first thought was to interview you Pan Am."

Sure enough, as soon as the good words were said, the customer service in the microphone immediately responded happily, "Thank you, thank you very much for your affirmation of Pan Am, and welcome you to visit and visit the San Francisco headquarters."

The corner of Li Changheng's mouth twitched. The price of oil has been rising in the past few years, and the competition among various airlines is very fierce.

Even if it is a small school newspaper, it is no wonder that the Pan Am refused to accept an interview with a middle-level and high-level employee on the premise that the airline does not need to pay.

Then he said, "So, can you tell me what I need to pay attention to during the interview?"

"Wait a minute, Mr. Howard, I will report to the manager now."

"OK".

After waiting for less than a minute, the voice in the microphone turned into a man's voice,

"Hi, Mr. Howard, I'm Fluke Marr, customer service manager of Pan Am San Francisco. During the interview, you only need to bring your camera, pen and notepad, and the questions you need to ask in advance.

Come to the Transamerica Building on Royce Avenue at 10:00 tomorrow morning. I will be waiting for you at the gate on time. Do you have any questions? "

Of course there is a problem. Once Li Changheng heard the customer service manager's tone of voice, and directly arranged the time, place, and received him in person, he knew that this guy had a strong desire to control and was an experienced person.

Going to Pan Am by myself has another purpose, how could it be possible to be accompanied by someone who has a high probability of seeing the problem at a glance.

"This..." After hesitating for a few seconds, Li Changheng said, "Sorry, Mr. Mal,

You probably forgot that tomorrow is Wednesday, I have to go to class at ten o'clock in the morning, and there will be extracurricular activities after school in the afternoon, so it will be a little troublesome if I ask the physical education teacher to ask for leave."

Fluke Marr patted his head, he habitually treated Li Changheng as a real reporter, "Sorry, little Howard, I did forget that you are still a student.

Then if you are free this week, even on weekends, you can come directly to the Pan Am Building and ask for customer service in the lobby.

I'll tell them about the appointment later, and someone will take you to see Deputy Manager Robert.

Anything you want to know about Pan Am, you can ask Mr. Robert."

"Understood, thank you, thank you".

Li Changheng heard what Marr meant, and wanted him to report more on Pan Am, not the captain, the flight attendant, "Don't worry, Mr. Marr, I am a loyal supporter of Pan Am.

I will let the whole school know that Pan Am is the best airline in America."

"Hahaha, I like you, Henry, I look forward to seeing the report written by you personally, goodbye, child."

"Goodbye Mr Marr, have a nice day".

"Thanks".

After hanging up the phone, the first thing Li Changheng had to do was to find a camera.

The easiest and most direct way is to go to a pawn shop in Chinatown and ask.

For only ten dollars, I got a ten-year-old antique that couldn't find any parts to repair except for the dinner plate-sized flash that worked.

Go home and clean the inside and outside of the camera to make the camera look old, but it is also in line with the characteristics of the tight funds of the middle school newspaper.

Having nothing to do, he was curious about this kind of old antique, but he took it apart bit by bit, and then restored it to its original shape based on memory.

At 11:00 noon the next day, Li Changheng dressed in his best clothes and headed for the Pan Am Building with a backpack on his back.

I told the customer service manager yesterday that I would not go today, and if he suddenly appeared at noon, the probability of meeting him was very low.

Sure enough, at 12:15 noon, it was the lunch time for office workers, and I heard Li Changheng say that he used the free time at noon to interview because he wanted to report Pan Am's deeds early.

The Pan Am lobby took him directly outside Robert's office and handed him over to Robert's secretary for reception.

Robert, who was preparing to go to lunch in the office, hung up the secretary's phone angrily.

He stood up, straightened the shirt that was about to be torn by his chubby stomach, buttoned the suit, stood by the door, and rubbed his cheeks with his hands.

The serious round face soon revealed a smiley expression.

"Welcome, welcome, future Pulitzer Prize winner."

"Wow, the Pulitzer Prize?" Li Changheng shook his head hastily, "I'm just a reporter for the school newspaper, you're too flattering, sir."

"Come on, Henry, let's chat while eating." Robert pulled Li Changheng to the long conference table in the office and sat down.

After ordering the secretary to prepare lunch, he smiled and said, "Anything you want to know, as long as I can tell you, I can tell you."
