Free heart

At 16:30 in the afternoon, a United Airlines flight UA087 took off from Shanghai Pudong Airport.The flight will eventually fly directly to Newark Liberty International Airport in New York, USA.

A week ago, Zhou Lin asked Shen Xiaoxiao why she booked a first-class ticket.Xiao Xiao replied that the first class is not only more comfortable to sit on, but also has its own separate seat.There are lockers for personal luggage, reading lights, crystal goblets, porcelain tableware, free champagne, personal TV, playing games, on-demand movies, listening to music and other luxurious and enjoyable environments.

Later, after Zhou Lin searched the price of the first-class air ticket from Shanghai to New York on the Internet, she felt that the salary deducted for the five-day personal leave was almost a drop in the bucket in front of a plane ticket.Then, she called Xiaoxiao's mobile phone and told her that it's better to book two round-trip business class tickets from Shanghai to New York.

Xiao Xiao said on the phone, "Book a business class round-trip ticket? Can't we spend a few more days in New York?"

Zhou Lin had no choice but to explain, "My dear sister-in-law, I have used up all my annual leave to accompany you to New York this time, and I have also asked for a few days of personal leave. I don't want to leave bad news for the company's senior management. impression."

"Shen Ying told me about your leave. But, what does it have to do with the class of ticket booked?"

"A round-trip non-stop flight ticket for business class only costs more than 3 yuan, while a round-trip non-stop flight ticket for first-class class costs more than 3 yuan. Xiaoxiao, I actually want to save some money on air tickets and buy more clothes .”

"Oh, so that's what you intended. What if... I only like to fly first class?"

"You still don't fly in first class? Xiaoxiao, didn't you tell me that you plan to start your own independent life after returning to China? Why, you still want to find your old man for the airfare, food, accommodation and transportation expenses to New York this time." Mom is coming back?"

"Well, you're right, I really should think more about my future life."

Zhou Lin smiled and said, "If you agree, I will book two round-trip business class tickets online for you immediately. In fact, the special services of business class are not much worse than those of first class. Although the seats are for two people, but I can sit and chat with you, watch a movie or listen to music."

Xiaoxiao laughed softly, and said accommodatingly, "Okay. Although I prefer to enjoy the individual seats in the first class, and I can also order my favorite dishes from the menu, your suggestion is still worth adopting."

Now, it is 8:19 on August 16th, and 40 minutes have passed since the flight took off.Zhou Lin unfastened her seat belt, looked at the few other passengers in the business class, turned her head and said to Xiao Xiao, "Hey, what you said to Shen Ying before boarding the plane, is it true or not? of?"

While choosing a channel to plan to watch a wonderful movie, Xiao Xiao answered her, "Of course it's fake. Do you really think that my friends and I will still be walking down the streets of New York in tops while attending International Topless Day?" up?"

"I knew you would not be so obedient. Then why did you lie to Xiaoying?"

"I just don't want to get an international roaming call from Shanghai when I arrive at Newark airport after a 14 hour and 30 minute flight. Then I hear my mother crying on the phone, telling me how and how Daddy will come to New York found us."

"Heck, what you said is very likely to happen. Let me tell you, if my daughter goes to the United States to participate in this kind of parade without clothes in the future, I think I can only lock her at home. Not allowed to go anywhere."

"If you have a daughter in the future and you are an adult, I think you should think about the unimaginable consequences of your actions."

Zhou Lin rested her head on the other's shoulder and said, "If it's an adult, of course I can't tie her hands and feet. It's just that that kind of thing can only happen abroad. For domestic people, this It's an unimaginable activity."

Xiao Xiao said with a smile, "Rachel Jessie, the spokeswoman for Topless Day, once said something, she said: 'It is sexist to think that showing women's breasts is a crime, and the principle of our protest is to promote Men and women have equal rights, and people should respect each other.’ Regardless, this kind of sexism is still prevalent in the country.”

"Yes, sex discrimination in Shanghai's workplace seems to be getting more and more serious now. When some small and medium-sized enterprises recruit girls who have graduated from college, they will directly ask whether they are married or have children."

"My God, how dare they do this?! This is an absolute performance of naked invasion of personal privacy!"

"No way, it's like this in China now. Arbitrary invasion of personal privacy, online sales of personal privacy information, gender discrimination, no matter where you go. After all, people have been accustomed to the collective concept for a long time, and the collective interests are always greater than personal."

Xiao Xiao shook her head, and asked again, "Why do they ask such questions when recruiting female college graduates?"

Zhou Lin said, "It's not to save the part of the childbirth cost of female employees in the future. Think about it, after graduating from university and working in a company for two or three years, I found a boyfriend and liked each other, so I talked about getting married. The problem."

Then, she said, "After the process of falling in love and getting married, shouldn't it be the step to have a child? Once a working woman is pregnant with a child, the company must implement the relevant regulations in accordance with the labor law."

Xiao Xiao nodded, "During this maternity holiday, not only did the company fail to make a profit, but it also paid all the expenses of the pregnant female staff. For this, I can only express my deep sympathy for these girls."

Zhou Lin sat up straight, put her arms around her and asked, "You should sympathize with me first. After I get married to Xiaoying in October, I have to go on the road of pregnant mother. In case I give birth to a daughter next year Come on, maybe your mother will dislike me for giving birth to a daughter."

"Don't worry, I will always support you! Whether you give birth to a daughter or a son, I will definitely stand by your side."

"Giggle, of course. Otherwise, how are we two going to be BFFs?"

On the next flight, the two had nothing to do and watched an American thriller and suspense action movie.Zhou Lin suddenly remembered something, and said softly to Xiao Xiao, "This flight will take 14 and a half hours, how can we solve the problem at that time?"

Xiao Xiao replied, "From now on, we must adjust our body clock according to Eastern Time. When I ask you to sleep, you must do so. Even if you can't fall asleep, you should close your eyes and take a nap."
