New York.Manhattan.Fifth Avenue!"
It's fine.""
Not late."
Standing on the sidewalk, wearing a casual suit and a baseball cap, Hawke wiped the sweat on his forehead because he was in a hurry, looked up at a 35-story apartment building across the street and breathed a sigh of relief, then lifted the backpack behind him and walked towards the prestigious Star Building opposite.But......
As soon as he entered the hall on the first floor of the Star Building, Hawke was stopped."
Stop."
A white man sitting at the front desk, wearing a white uniform and a big beard, looked at Hawke, who seemed to be in a hurry: "What are you doing?"
”This is the Star Building.If you are not a resident of the apartment, or if you have an appointment with a visitor, even if a fly comes in, you will need to be thoroughly inspected before you can be released.Hawke stopped and looked up at security.At the end of last month, just past his seventeenth birthday, Hawke, who was wearing a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked at the security guard who stopped him, and hurriedly walked over: "Hello, I am Mrs.
Straker's new math tutor on the twenty-sixth floor for her daughter." ”"Credentials.""
Andrew."
As he spoke, Hawke didn't mind the impatience on the security guard's face, and took off the backpack on his shoulder, opened it, found the document in the backpack, and handed it to the security guard very politely: "Andrew Luther, from the Department of Mathematics at New York University, this is my student ID." ”"Student ID?""
Yes."
The security guard frowned, "What about your driver's license?"
”A student ID card is not a legal and valid document.As a security guard who retired from a professional organization and was hired by the Star Tower Committee with a high salary, there are a hundred ways to determine whether a document is a fake or not.But......
Student ID?
Hawke shook his head: "No, sir, when I was in New Jersey, I couldn't afford a car, so I ......"
A flash of clarity flashed in the security guard's eyes.New jersey?
It turned out to be from the countryside.No wonder.With this in mind, the security guard took the student ID card handed over by Hawke's hands, looked at the information on the document, and then looked up at Hawke, who was wearing a neat-looking but somewhat yellowish white shirt in front of him, plus a pair of slacks and a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and looked at it with eagle-like eyes.M..This should be a poor student from a poor family, who has just come from the countryside and has been admitted to New York University, has taken a lot of student loans, and wants to work hard to earn money on his own.Half ringing.The security guard came to a conclusion, withdrew his gaze, and pointed to the visitor registration form that was sitting aside, "Let's register." ”Hawke quickly thanked him, then grabbed the pen on the registration form, wrote down his information, and then took out a wet paper towel from his bag and began to wipe it.I was about to call Mrs.
Straker on the twenty-sixth floor to confirm whether there was really such a visitor's security, when he saw Hawke's action, he was slightly stunned by his former professional habits, and subconsciously frowned: "What are you doing?"
”How can this action look like I don't want to leave fingerprints on the pen?
Hawke looked at the security guards who had just softened his gaze and now became alert, and put the wiped pen back in place with some crampedness and explained: "Sir, I'm afraid of soiling the fountain pen, I also went to the *** Building and the Sky Building today, and they all asked for it, worried that I would stain their fountain pen." ”Edifice?
Sky Tower?
Those two nouveau riche mansions.No wonder.The security guard listened to Hawke's answer, his thoughts turned around, the alertness in his eyes disappeared again, and he shook his head: "The Star Mansion is not these two nouveau riche mansions. ”Compared with those nouveau riche buildings, which pay more attention to cleanliness and tidiness, Xingchen Building pays more attention to the personal safety of residents.Hawke didn't speak, only smiled a little crampedly again.The security guard turned his eyes away from Hawke, grabbed a landline next to him, and dialed Mrs.
Straker's house on the twenty-sixth floor."
Toot!""
Toot!""
Toot!"
The security guard looked at the phone that hung up because no one answered, frowned, and looked at Hawke in front of him: "Sorry, no one answered, you can't go in for the time being." ”This time, the security guard's voice was also relatively gentle.Hawke had a look of surprise on his face, then put his backpack on the table, and then found a notepad from the bag that seemed to be full of miscellaneous items and many books, and after opening it, he found one of the pages, and looked at the security: "No, September 15th, from 7 to 8 o'clock in the evening, I will come to tutor Lauren in math, Mrs.
Straker on the 26th floor of the Star Building on Fifth Avenue, you see, what I have recorded here is correct." ”The security guard's gaze swept over the schoolbag that was pushed under his nose by Hawke for fear of being mistaken for lying, and he was a little nervous and excited and cramped, and put the contents of the schoolbag into his eyes on a large scale, and then his eyes fell on the notepad that Hawke turned around, looking at the dense schedule of when to tutor whom, and was a little surprised: "Oh my God, so many?"
”Hawke smiled a little shyly: "No way, I have to repay the loan for the middle school at the end of this year, so I can only work hard." ”Security once again gave Hawke a deep look, but this time it was no longer a wary or suspicious gaze, but with a kind of sympathy, but more admiration, and a hint of trance.It's like, when I came to New York City, that's what it was.Hawke hurriedly clasped his hands together, made a pleading motion, and said to the security guard: "Sir, can you help me make a phone call, please, it is not easy to get this job of Mrs.
Straker." ”The security guard didn't hesitate this time, nodded, grabbed the landline on the desktop again, and dialed the phone number of Mrs.
Mia on the twenty-sixth floor again.If you are an adult, this phone call will definitely not be made a second time.But......
This is just a pure and harmless college student who has a poor background, but is very inspirational and has just been admitted to the metropolis from the countryside and wants to get ahead by his own efforts.This time the call went through.After the phone was connected, the security guard nodded to Hawke, shared the joy with him, and then said, "Mrs.
Straker, there is a very polite college student named Andrew downstairs, saying that you hired a math tutor for Lauren, and he is now in the ...... of the building."
An interrupted voice came from the other end of the phone: "What, he just arrived, he's an hour late, let him come up!"
”The security guard hung up the phone, swiped an elevator card to Hawke, and said with a smile: "This card can only be swiped on the twenty-sixth floor." ”Hawke thanked the security guard gratefully, and then ran, anxiously skimming through the security gate and running towards the elevator."
Hey!""......"
Hawke, who had just run to the security gate, stopped, his face changed for a moment, and then, turning around, looked.But......
The security guard who got up just looked at Hawke, who turned around with an anxious look on his face, and made a cheering gesture: "Come on, young man, New York City will not fail any man who works hard." ”Hawke smiled on his face, "Thank you. ”said.Hawke turned around directly, ran into the elevator that happened to be open, and then pressed the twenty-sixth floor, and looked at the security just now when the elevator closed with a happy and grateful expression.Bite!
The elevator closes.Hawke took his phone out of his bosom, edited a text message, and gave it to his killer agent."
