Reborn in America: Starting as a California Resident

A few minutes later, the plane took off smoothly, and Henry looked out the window at the city view that was gradually shrinking until the skyscrapers became miniature models and finally disappeared below the horizon.

The clouds below spread out like a soft cotton blanket, edged with gold by the afterglow of the sun, resembling a dreamlike painting.

Just as Henry was enjoying the beautiful scenery, Allison reappeared in his sight.

With an elegant gesture, she handed over a menu and a beverage list, saying softly, "Please choose your preferred drinks and dishes, and Chef Victor will prepare them for you."

Her smile was just right, neither too cold nor too intimate, making people feel very comfortable.

The chef she mentioned, Victor, is an internationally renowned chef who graduated from Le Cordon Bleu, the world's largest professional training institution for Western cuisine and pastry baking.

He made his mark at several Michelin-starred restaurants and apprenticed under many world-class chefs, including a master chef who served as the royal chef in the French court, thus mastering extremely exquisite culinary skills.

Ten years ago, he incurred huge debts in Las Vegas that he was unable to repay;

Paul Getty admired the man's talent, helped him pay off his debts, and even hired him as the head chef on his private jet.

Henry glanced at the menu briefly and ultimately chose his favorite French Bordeaux red wine and a delicate foie gras as his appetizer.

After taking the menu, Allison quietly asked if any other services were needed before leaving to arrange the meal.

Soon after, Allison returned, carrying a bottle of chilled Bordeaux wine and a beautiful plate of foie gras.

"Mr. Henry, here is your red wine and appetizer. I hope you enjoy them."

She gently placed the plate on the small coffee table and then adjusted the lighting to make the entire lounge area more cozy and comfortable.

Henry took a sip of red wine and nodded approvingly. "Very good, thank you, Allison."

Allison smiled and replied, "It's my pleasure, Mr. Henry."

After speaking, she slowly withdrew, maintaining an appropriate distance and respect.

Unlike the flight attendant named Alice I encountered last time, Alison's service was much more professional and courteous.

All of this is because all the flight attendants on this plane have undergone the most rigorous pre-job training in the Getty family.

The most important rule in their training manual is: never use any words or physical actions to seduce a member of the Getty family.

This is the red line within the red line.

After all, those who apply for family private jet services are usually the younger family members;

If this leads to the leakage of family genes or causes unnecessary scandals, it would be an unacceptable risk for the Getty family.

Therefore, every flight attendant undergoes rigorous training before starting their job to ensure that they maintain professional ethics at all times and avoid any form of misconduct.

Henry sat on the comfortable sofa, enjoying everything that was so wonderful before him.

He gently swirled the wine in his glass, letting the Bordeaux wine leave elegant streaks on the glass.

"Mr. Henry, this is the main course prepared especially for you."

Chef Victor emphasized the importance of temperature and texture in this dish, urging the customer to savor it slowly.

Just as Henry was enjoying the peace and quiet, Alison appeared again without a sound, this time bringing the main course—a slow-cooked beef prepared by Chef Victor, served with a vanilla cream sauce, and roasted vegetables on the side.

The dishes were beautifully presented, with harmonious color combinations, and every ingredient was presented in its best condition.

Alison spoke softly, her voice carrying a hint of reverence for the food.

"Okay, please convey my thanks to Chef Victor; his cooking skills are truly amazing."

Having just enjoyed the foie gras and feeling quite hungry, I was even more excited to face this meticulously prepared main course.

He picked up his knife and fork and gently cut a piece of slow-cooked beef. The meat was tender and juicy, and he could feel its delicate smoothness in his mouth with almost no chewing.

The vanilla cream sauce adds a touch of richness and fragrance to this dish, while the roasted vegetables balance the overall flavor with their unique freshness, making every bite a feast for the senses.

Seeing Henry nod in satisfaction, Allison smiled slightly and said, "I will convey your praise to Mr. Getty."

If you require any further service, please let me know.

After saying that, he retreated to a corner of the cabin and continued to observe whether the other passengers needed any assistance.

Henry savored each bite of food, and couldn't help but feel a deep admiration for his grandfather Paul Getty's taste.

He secretly decided that when he bought his own private jet, he would definitely hire a chef with superb culinary skills.

Enjoying such exquisite food under the vast sky is such a wonderful feeling!

Henry felt more relaxed than ever before, and he couldn't help but close his eyes, immersing himself completely in the delicious food.

After the meal, Alison reappeared gracefully and asked Henry if he would like dessert or coffee.

Henry considered it for a moment and decided to end with a strong espresso.

As the plane flew smoothly, night quietly fell, and the cabin lights became softer.

When the coffee was served, Allison politely asked Henry if he needed help turning on the reading light so he could read or work on some documents.

Henry nodded slightly and began to peruse some of the documents he carried with him;

Occasionally glancing up at the picturesque sea of ​​clouds outside the window, the atmosphere inside the Getty aircraft gradually becomes tranquil.

......

"Knock knock!"

"Mr. Getty, we are about to arrive at Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong. We expect to land in about twenty minutes."

"Okay, I understand."

Hearing Miss Alison's sweet voice outside the door, Henry lazily got out of bed and began a simple wash.

Yesterday, they took off from San Francisco International Airport at approximately 4:30 p.m.

而旧金山到香江的飞行距离约为7500英里（约12000公里），波音747的巡航速度大约为550-600英里/小时（885-965公里/小时）飞行时间通常会在12到14个小时之间。

The flight proceeded smoothly, and we successfully arrived in Hong Kong on the 13th hour of the flight.

Because Hong Kong is located in the Eastern Time Zone 8, while San Francisco is located in the Western Time Zone 8 (during daylight saving time), there is a 15-hour time difference between the two. Therefore, when the plane departed from San Francisco, it was already 7:30 a.m. the next day in Hong Kong time.
