Lisko's American life
Chapter 143 139. Arriving at the Hotel (3 days 5)
The plane quickly arrived at the New York airport. Lisko took the luggage from the consignment and brought sunglasses, and Haas looked at the city that had to come several times a year.
They came a day earlier this time, because they are the youngest, there are many things that need to use them both, such as picking up people at the airport according to the arrival time of each senior, and then sending them to the hotel where everyone is staying. This is the two of them every year. Need to come forward.
It is estimated that this kind of situation can only get rid of this kind of thing by attracting newcomers to the literature club.
Everyone who joins the club has experienced it.
Li Ske looked at the sunny weather outside, and it seemed that New York also knew to cater to them. In the city where it was raining a few days ago, the rain suddenly stopped today.
The whole city is full of freshness and cleanliness after the rain.
"Let's go, let's go to the hotel." Haas stretched lazily. Lisko discovered that his brother's weight had become a little heavier recently. It seems that the breeder Ada contributed a lot.
Li Ske felt that if he gets fatter, Lu Bo will be his brother's tomorrow. Now he has been controlling his weight because he often thinks of Lu Bo walking out of breath.
The party is now arranged to stay in hotels. At this time of the year, I will go directly to the Ryan Hotel, because this hotel is opened by the club’s Minister of External Relations Ryan.
There are many writers and literary people in the literary club, but there are also some who have achieved good writing and some achievements, but Ryan is one of the best people who changed careers later.
Ryan is the son of a New York real estate developer. When he was in school, he concentrated on literature and gained fame. However, his father had an accident and gave up writing to concentrate on family business.
However, he did not withdraw from the literary club. After all, the connections in it are eye-catching, so the club made him the minister of outreach, responsible for the venue and procedures of the annual gathering. The Ryan Hotel was built by him in recent years. It has always been a place to stay for the brothers who come to meet up.
Ryan, who entered the mall, changed the calm image of writing and became much smoother. With his huge memory, he arranged everyone well every year and was praised by everyone.
The club also collects membership fees every year, usually 50,000 US dollars per person per year, but no one does not pay it, because no one wants to be excluded from this huge network gathering.
These membership fees are used to establish a literary fund, support those impoverished writers, and to organize gatherings.
After Lisko became famous in writing, he also donated to the club several times, each time it was one million dollars.
He can achieve what he is now because many people in the club are helping.
Every time a new book is released, everyone in the club spontaneously helps to promote it, and various newspapers also make headlines.
There are other places to work harder, awards, etc. Otherwise, how did Lisko make the book "The Catcher in the Rye" listed by the US Department of Education as a must-read book for middle school students?
Of course, the premise of all this is that you have this strength yourself, and everyone is willing to help make the icing on the cake.
In case the quality is not good, what they are not willing to do, the most important thing for writers is to cherish feathers.
When I got out of the airport, I saw the car waiting outside at a glance. The nameplate of the Ryan Hotel and the names of Lisko and Haas were clearly posted on it.
"Sir, please get in the car."
The pick-up driver and the welcoming staff kept the pictures of the two guests in their minds long ago, so they saw them at a glance.
I had already called my senior fellow Ryan when we set off from Denver, and the pick-up staff at the hotel knew that they were coming today.
Of course, Ryan is currently busy with the venue, and apologized for not being able to meet him in person.
He talked about it, and Haas just listened.
Perhaps the Americans are not so serious about the ranking of capital, but this does not include the literary world. In what way, Ryan is the brother of the two people. If they really come to meet them, then they will be panicked. a little.
Tuck Haas into the car with difficulty.
"Brother, you really should lose weight, or you will become like Lubo in the future."
Lisko complained about Haas's weight. He could feel that after Haas got into the car, the whole car had dropped a little.
"No way, I can't do this, I can't refuse Ada's kindness" Haas panted, and strenuously fastened his seat belt, with a happy smile on his face.
Li Ske looked at the brother who was still reminiscing about Ada, with a sore toothache. The two of them were really glued after their long-lost love.
The car started, and the Ryan Hotel was not too far away from the airport.
At the gathering a few years ago, after everyone came to New York, everyone would live in Swan Castle. Sometimes they often couldn’t live. Many seniors were crowded in a house, and some slept directly in the big library of the instructor. Take a blanket and sleep directly on the ground.
In the past few years, there have been more and more people, and it is hard for everyone to trouble the older and older tutors and teachers.
Just as Ryan’s hotel was opened, it was arranged for Ryan to contract. Ryan also waved his hand in a big way. During the party, all club members were free.
Fortunately, the annual gathering only lasts three days, so his loss is not great, and he has gained praise from many people.
Ryan's current reputation in the club is a bit similar to Chai Jin in the Water Margin.
When he arrived at the hotel, Lisko found his house number, 201 on the second floor according to the invitation sent.
Haas's is 202. There is no surprise in this sentence, because in the past few years, their rooms have been close together every year.
The room was a normal standard room, and Lisko was familiar with the luggage.
He has lived in this room four or five times.
The room has a small refrigerator, a bed and a sofa, a lot of TV sets and bathrooms.
After staying, Lisko washed away the exhaustion of the journey.
It is his usual habit to take a shower after finishing the car.
The refreshed Lisko changed his clothes, walked out of the room, and knocked on the door of the senior.
Haas didn't ask who it was, he knew it was Lisko as soon as he guessed it.
"Is it done?" Lisko followed him into the room. Haas was still wearing a bath towel, wiping his hair with a towel in one hand.
Looking at the white fat under the bath towel, Lisko really felt that his brother Haas was like the hanged pig he saw in the vegetable market in his previous life, with white skin and very fat.
Lisko fell on the sofa, waiting for Haas to take care of himself, because they were going to the meeting place to find Brother Ryan.
After being with Ada, Haas lived extremely delicately and used various cosmetics for maintenance.
Lisko looked a little disgusted as he was styling his hair in front of the mirror, and he kept applying it.
