Countercurrent 1978 starts with the production team

Among Chu Jianghe and his group, except for himself who seemed relatively calm, the rest were frightened by the scene and didn't know what to do.

what's the situation?

The American police were seen yelling at Teacher Qi, and the people who were surrounded were speechless except for raising their hands with fear on their faces.

Chu Jianghe frowned as he looked at the situation in front of him and did not step forward rashly. He watched how things developed to see if anything really happened.

After a commotion, the American police saw that Teacher Qi and several others were under control and wanted to search them, but they did not find anything threatening. Finally, with the help of the police dog, they found several pieces of beef jerky wrapped in paper in Teacher Qi's pocket.

The American police sniffed the beef jerky curiously, then handed it to the police dog, signaling the police dog to sniff it again. Unexpectedly, the police dog had been drooling over the beef jerky and thought it was for him to eat, so he swallowed the beef jerky in one bite and started eating.

When the American police saw this, they waited for a while and found nothing unusual with the police dog. Then they realized it was a misunderstanding. They laughed and spoke a few words in English to Teacher Qi and the others, signaling the police around them to relax. They patted Teacher Qi on the shoulder and comforted him, then waved their hand to signal him that he could go.

Teacher Qi was so frightened by the scene that he stood there in a daze. He was almost knocked down by the slap of the American policeman's big hand.

The translator who accompanied the team was standing relatively close to the front. When he heard what the police said, he felt relieved and quickly comforted everyone.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

……

They were visiting scholars, and although the immigration inspection was very cumbersome, nothing else happened after this incident and they all passed through smoothly.

Even after they left the airport, Teacher Qi and his friends were still feeling a lingering fear, and they didn't feel relieved until they got on the bus.

Teacher Qi sighed as he sat on the bus: "Damn, I was scared to death."

"That's right. I was scared to death. This is the first time in my life that someone has pointed a gun at me."

"They're not going to really shoot me. I'm so scared I almost peed myself."

……

The rest of the people, like Teacher Qi, all had expressions as if they had survived a disaster.

The team leader consoled them for a few words, then asked Teacher Qi, "What happened just now? Why were you suddenly surrounded by the police?"

Some people speculated: "Could it be that the beef jerky in Teacher Qi's pocket was so fragrant that even the police dog couldn't resist it?"

Many people here are traveling abroad for the first time. The situation at the security check was chaotic and there were police officers all around. In order to avoid trouble, no one asked too many questions. Only then did they remember to ask Teacher Qi what was going on.

Chu Jianghe sat with Teacher Qi and also gave him a puzzled look.

Police dogs are trained for a long time. If they suddenly bark just because they are greedy, they would have been eliminated long ago. It should be impossible.

Faced with everyone's questions and puzzled looks, Teacher Qi thought for a while and then began to explain with a red face.

"The police over there didn't notice it. It seemed like I accidentally stepped on the police dog and it started barking at me..."

Everyone couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this explanation; even Chu Jianghe couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh, so that's how it is. Teacher Qi, we are all harmed by you. You have to treat us to a good meal these days."

After understanding the reason, some people became indignant and started to instigate, while others even made jokes.

"I thought it was because Mr. Qi's Inner Mongolian beef jerky was so fragrant that even the American police dogs couldn't control it."

Teacher Qi also knew that it was his fault that he had implicated everyone, so he forced a few smiles and agreed.

"Okay, okay, I'll treat everyone to dinner after we're settled."

Teacher Qi agreed but sat there worried. The subsidies this time were limited, only 6 US dollars per person per day. He was thinking of saving these subsidies so that he could go back and use the foreign currency to buy foreign brand home appliances with tax-free indicators, or buy something for his family here.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought enough food for several days this time, and even stuffed a few pieces of beef jerky in his pockets.

He had made sufficient preparations this time. Even if he had to go hungry for a few days, he was determined to save the foreign exchange.

Now he has agreed to treat several people to dinner, but he doesn't know how much foreign exchange it will cost, which makes him very worried.

Chu Jianghe was sitting next to him and noticed something strange about Teacher Qi.

"What's wrong, Mr. Qi? Don't you have enough foreign currency? If not, I have some here."

Nowadays, going abroad is a big deal. From a public perspective, it means that the organization trusts you and rewards you; from a private perspective, there are foreign exchange subsidies for official business trips abroad.

Although something went wrong, fortunately I didn't go to the small dark room.

"Really?" Teacher Qi looked at Chu Jianghe with surprise. This was like someone offering a pillow to a sleepy person. Then he thought of Chu Jianghe's foreign exchange, which was not much. "Teacher Chu, how can you say this? I'm sure your foreign exchange will be useful."

Chu Jianghe smiled slightly: "It's okay, I don't have anything to buy."

Are you kidding? What can $6 a day do? This time he came with a Polaroid portable camera, and the camera alone cost $180.

Therefore, that little subsidy is of no use to him, so he might as well do a favor to Teacher Qi.

Sure enough, Teacher Qi smiled immediately when he heard Chu Jianghe's words.

"Teacher Chu, thank you so much. I will definitely treat you well when I get back."

The purpose of their trip this time is Columbia University in New York, the best university in the whole of New York, located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.

In order to take care of these people, Columbia University specially arranged for the bus to stop near New York's Times Square to let them get off and have a look.

When they stood in New York's Times Square, they were still shocked by the modern buildings and technology. This time the leader had obviously done some homework and pointed at the building in front of him with high spirits.

"Take a good look at this. This is New York's Times Square, known as the crossroads of the world."

Most people are traveling abroad for the first time, and looking at the glittering neon lights and high-rise buildings, all they can do is nod their heads obediently.

In fact, it would be more appropriate to call this place Times Square, because the New York Times established its headquarters building here in its early days, hence the name. However, Chu Jianghe would not go to the trouble of correcting his leader's mistake.

There are nearly 40 shopping malls and theaters here, and it is a prosperous entertainment and shopping center. Broadway, Fifth Avenue, and the Times Building, in addition to neon lights, there are street performers everywhere. For Teacher Qi and his friends, it is really a feast for the eyes.

Chu Jianghe had a nonchalant look on his face. He was remembering the bet he had made with Professor Payton in class before. The loser would post a message in the most conspicuous place in Times Square to apologize to the other party.

Chu Jianghe has definitely won the order, but the largest electronic billboard in North America has not yet been put into operation. If Payton loses, I don’t know if he can afford the million-dollar advertising fee.
