42 Port of Fonteve
After lunch, Lin Yilong took Lin's father and mother to stroll around the seaside in Monaco and drank iced coffee in the café in the central square of Monte Carlo to cool off.
"It's really hotter here than in South Wales!" Lin Mu said, "On such a hot day, the British actually came here to find guilt!"
"I don't usually travel further south. Lin Yilong also sweated a lot, he wiped the beads of sweat on his face and neck, "If it weren't for Nadia and Vera, I wouldn't have come out, and even if I did, I would have been in an air-conditioned café or cold drink hall - you know, this is not the hottest place, such as Seville in the south of Spain and Bordeaux in France, sometimes the temperature can reach 40 degrees!"
"It's so hot!" Father Lin also began to complain about the weather, "Now it seems that Wales is still a pleasant place to live." ”
"Long Long, you remember my subordinate's daughter, Amy, who visited your London apartment two months ago. Mother Lin found a topic and started talking, "I met her a few days ago, she lives next door to us now, maybe her situation is really good." ”
"Who knows!" Hearing the experience of Lin Mu and Amy meeting by chance downstairs in the apartment, Lin Yilong could only pretend not to care, "Then this means that your repayment has been settled, old lady?"
"One step at a time. Mother Lin is not worried about whether her debts can be paid off, "Although life may be a little hard, it is not too much of a problem for him to save some money." ”
The total amount of credit that Amy's father borrowed from Lin's mother is now about 200,000 pounds, and the foreign exchange market is a little sluggish these days, resulting in an increase in the cost of exchange, which has virtually increased the repayment pressure of Amy's father, plus the 15% interest on the loan a year, which is a headache for this man. With his salary of nearly 3,000 pounds a month, after deducting the fixed expenses, it is only enough to repay the interest on Lin's mother's loan.
This is not a problem that bothers Lin Yilong - but Amy, who was involved as a daughter, seems to be really pitiful.
Well, maybe not.
For example, the British often say "this is a part of life, don't play if you're unhappy!" and "don't be sad, be happy!" and so on, all of which are analyzed from the perspective of the parties concerned. It is impossible to say that there are no words of comfort from the British, but it is difficult to consider the situation in which the English most often express regret rather than apology in the written word.
Lin Yilong, who had learned a little bit about this "melon-eating plot", calmed down a little and slightly alleviated a certain "sudden" sympathy.
"Actually, when it comes to tourism, the shopping here is pretty good. "But it's not as good as London, at this time, there is no F1 Monte Carlo to compete, there is no revue, and the only places to have fun are the marina and the spinach center." ”
Mother Lin expressed her understanding and felt that she had rested enough, so she took Father Lin to a nearby store to take a look at the fashionable clothes and accessories of cosmetics that were a little difficult to buy even now, leaving Lin Yilong alone in the central square.
Lin Yilong was not idle, and went to the real estate agent to see the new residence he bought a month ago.
The owner of the real estate agency was also there, and he took great pains to express his sincere apologies to Lin Yilong and personally took him to the new house that was being refurbished.
Renovation and reinforcement works are well underway, and the staircase and elevator that surround the apartment patio are prominently removed, giving new functions to the living room, living room, study and master bedroom.
"Can it be completed before the boat show?" asked Lin Yilong.
The Monaco Yacht Show is almost the largest yacht show in the world, and the reason why the word "almost" is added is because after all, the pond is the largest private yacht market, so in terms of volume, Monaco may not be as good as Florida, and the "luxury" lifestyle that the Monaco Yacht Show tries to express is its most attractive point. Countless billionaires, celebrities and their agents will make an appearance at the show in late September.
As for Lin Yilong, it was out of curiosity about the colorful boat show that he was ready to visit at the end of September – but the nearby hotels were already fully booked. Since he has a house, there is no reason to live outside, if he can pass the environmental acceptance before this, he can move in here.
"We will do our best. The foreman who accompanied the two said, "Strive to complete the whole work before then." ”
"It's for the best. Lin Yilong unconsciously brought the British kindness and arrogance he learned from his "friends" in the farmers' club, chatted with the site supervisor hired by Bristol, was satisfied with the current progress, and left.
No matter how the residents of Brecken Woods who came to Monaco wandered around, with the many neighborhoods and guild halls that were not open to the public in such a small area of the Principality, and the weather was so hot, they would have returned early, and Lin Yilong went straight to the marina and returned to "utopia".
As the yacht was preparing to sail, Lin Yilong's next stop was RNY off the coast of Italy, not too far from the port of Monte Carlo, where the 14 knotted yacht could be reached in eight hours, but as the captain said, there was no problem with night sailing, but it was slightly more difficult to get out of port. As a result, the yacht had to go out to sea before sunset and take a speedboat to transport the guests.
"Do you need me to stay here and wait for the other guests?" the captain asked when he saw Lin Yilong returning.
"No need, I've been here before and have nowhere to go. This topic reminded Lin Yilong of the days when he and Amy spent a very sweet time in Monte Carlo, and he smiled unconsciously.
After only three seconds of deep thought, Lin Yilong came back to his senses.
"Mr. Captain, have you ever been to the Monaco Yacht Show?" Lin Yilong felt that this time was also very early, since he was in Monaco, he was naturally very interested in the world-renowned yacht show.
"Nope. "Coincidentally," replied the captain, "during those days I was either adrift at sea or on shore off—you probably know, sir, that if a seafarer comes ashore on a holiday, it will be a long time, and there will not be much thought of returning to sea during the vacation." ”
"That's just as well. Lin Yilong agreed with the captain with some disappointment.
"And, even if our ship happens to be on the Côte d'Azur at that time, in the port of Hercules alone, we will not be able to moor a yacht like ours that is not an exhibitor. "So, unless I've just finished a period of work, I'm not going there." ”
"Not going there to find a job?"
"It's a boat show, it's just a display platform, and the crew has an employment channel for the crew, so I don't have to go there. The captain replied.
