Gao Yang arrived in New York on his fourth day.
It was the beginning of September, which meant early autumn, but it hadn’t reached a particularly comfortable temperature yet.
Despite this, Gao Yang still donned a very formal suit and leather shoes.
Wearing a suit and leather shoes made Gao Yang feel a bit awkward, as he was unaccustomed to them, but he wanted that formal feel.
After carefully straightening his tie, Gao Yang smoothed his hair with his hands, put on his sunglasses, and then walked out of the hotel’s main entrance.
Gao Yang walked to the entrance of the hotel, and his car was just parked right in front of him.
The valet stepped out of the car and handed Gao Yang the keys with a smile, saying, “Sir, your car is incredible.
It’s the best one I’ve ever driven.
Many people must envy you.”
The reason the valet handed the keys to the owner was to wait for a tip.
Gao Yang smiled, took the car keys, and placed a hundred-dollar bill in the valet’s hand, saying in a deep voice, “You’re right, this certainly is a great car.”
Gao Yang opened the car door and sat in Bruce’s car.
A 1969 Mustang BOSS 429, indeed a classic American muscle car.
By now, the car might not be considered advanced, but its 375 horsepower V8 engine was still powerful, and the roar of its exhaust was equally enchanting.
However, driving Bruce’s dream car, which he had only managed to drive once before his death, Gao Yang didn’t want to cause the slightest damage to it, so he drove very slowly and carefully.
If Bruce were still alive, he would definitely have teased Gao Yang about his driving style.
Gao Yang arrived at the Tomler Building, drove around for a while, and after finding a parking spot, he parked carefully, locked the car, then walked into the Tomler Building.
Mr.
Tomler’s company was on the top floor.
Gao Yang walked straight to the elevator area, waited until an elevator arrived, followed the crowd inside, then pressed the button for the sixtieth, the top floor.
Gao Yang stood at the very back of the elevator, and by the time it reached the top floor, he was the only one left inside.
The elevator doors opened, and Gao Yang stepped out.
Only Mr.
Tomler’s company was on the top floor, so there were two uniformed security guards equipped with batons standing outside the elevator.
Upon seeing Gao Yang, one of the guards stepped forward and said in a stern voice, “Sir, do you have an appointment?”
Gao Yang shook his head, “No.”
The guard looked at Gao Yang and said, “If you’ve come in by mistake, please leave.
If you’re here to discuss business, please follow me.”
Gao Yang nodded and followed the guard, who swiped his card to pass through the glass door emblazoned with Tomler Global Defense Consulting Company.
The guard led Gao Yang to the reception desk, where four suit-clad but obviously armed private security guards stood, as a receptionist rose from the service desk with a smile, “Good day, sir, how may I assist you?”
Gao Yang said in a deep voice, “Yes, I need to see Mr.
Tomler.”
After looking over a registration list, the receptionist asked with a smile, “Do you have an appointment?”
Gao Yang shook his head, “No.”
The receptionist smiled apologetically and said, “Sorry, sir, you can’t meet Mr.
Tomler without an appointment.
If there is something you need, I can take a message and convey it to Mr.
Tomler.”
Gao Yang calmly stated, “My name is Ram.
It should take about two minutes for you to inform Mr.
Tomler’s secretary through the internal phone, and for him to respond.
Now, I’ll give you two minutes to tell Mr.
Tomler that Ram is here, and if he won’t see me, I’ll leave.”
The receptionist still looked troubled, while the four private security guards, upon hearing Gao Yang’s words, immediately adopted a defensive posture, hands going to their waists or under their jackets and quietly moved closer.
Gao Yang glanced at his watch and said to the receptionist, “Start the timing, you don’t have much time.”
The receptionist, looking at the private security guards and finally realizing something might be wrong, picked up the microphone and after pressing a call button, said in a low voice, “There’s a gentleman here who insists on seeing Mr.
Tomler immediately.
He calls himself Ram.
If Mr.
Tomler refuses to see him, he will leave.”
After a short wait, with roughly one minute having passed on his watch, the receptionist smiled at Gao Yang, “Good day, sir.
Mr.
Tomler will see you now.”
Gao Yang nodded and walked towards Mr.
Tomler’s office, while the four private security guards spread out, eyes fixed on him, and followed at a distance of two to three meters behind.
The door to Mr.
Tomler’s office opened, and a new secretary with a complicated expression on her face looked at Gao Yang.
Mr.
Tomler’s office was a suite.
After Gao Yang entered the ante-room, the four bodyguards immediately surrounded him, one holding a portable metal detector.
Then a bodyguard wearing sunglasses extended a hand and said to Gao Yang, “Sir, please hand over your weapons and all communication devices.”
Gao Yang’s face remained calm as he said, “I have a gun, but I will not hand it over.
If you insist, I can leave.”
After speaking, Gao Yang said in a low voice, “I’m in a bad mood right now, and time is precious.
I don’t want to waste much time.
I’ll give you one minute to consult and decide, or you can try to forcefully keep me here.”
