A week before Belo plans to leave for Cannes.

Zhuoqun made a special trip to book a luxury suite for her and Fan Hong at the famous Negresco Hotel in Nice.

This palace-shaped hotel was built in 1912.

It is said that Napoleon and Josephine shared a bed in this hotel.

Or so says the hotel presentation posted on the door.

But in any case, at least there are countless celebrities who have stayed here.

In addition, Nice Negresco is a museum-style luxury hotel with an artistic atmosphere.

The distinctive pink dome is the work of the Eiffel Tower's designers.

The hotel is also decorated with almost 6,000 pieces of French art.

It was collected by the Austrian lady in her lifetime, and the standard was no less than that of Versailles and the Louvre.

So as a location for many movies, it has also created many classic films.

At least 30 or more movies and TV series have been filmed here.

The location is also excellent, with the promenade and the calm Mediterranean Sea just outside the property.

Morning joggers on the promenade pass by and watch from their rooms as the sun rises far from the east, illuminating the Mediterranean Sea in gold.

As a result, many tourists come here every day to visit and take pictures.

It's a great pleasure to have a drink at the hotel's seaside café.

All in all, it's a well-deserved Nice landmark.

If there is a common saying among hotel staff, it is - "We are far more famous in the world than in Nice, France." ”

So naturally, as soon as she came here, Bei Lu, a literary young woman who is very romantic by nature, liked it here.

She loved the palatial grandeur of the place.

Her bedroom bed is covered with a crimson canopy, and the matching drapery is decorated with a golden-yellow pattern.

The tables and chairs are exquisitely furnished in a way that no modern luxury hotel can ever provide.

She also loved the view from the window.

Looking out from the balcony, it's the Côte d'Azur.

The sea and the sky become the same color, blending with each other without boundaries.

In the distance, eagle-like white yachts cruised in the sky.

Even the people who stop on the beach can see romance everywhere.

The citizens of Nice are strolling along the sidewalks of the seafront, and there is no shortage of gray-haired old couples.

On the rocky beach, younger men and women hug each other.

Children dig holes in the pebble sand and fill them with water.

Here, even the most unhappy people can quickly become happy.

So when a waiter brought a food cart full of food into the house, took a tip of ten euros and left respectfully.

When Fan Hong went to enjoy the food cooked by the two-Michelin-starred female chef.

Staying on the balcony of the bedroom, Bei Lu, who was looking into the distance, reluctantly withdrew her eyes.

turned around and thanked Zhuo Qun very sincerely.

"Thank you. The room was very nice and I especially liked it here. Makes you bother. ”

Zhuo Qun didn't want the atmosphere to be too serious, so he deliberately joked.

"You're welcome, I didn't really bother at all. The main suite was where both Sophia Loren and Elizabeth Taylor lived. What I think is that it may be that the aesthetics of the actresses are relatively close, so I ordered it for you. ”

"You ...... man"

It works well. This joke made Bei Lu angry, and she spoke easily and casually.

"Hmph, anyway, thank you. Now I almost want to buy this hotel. ”

Zhuo Qun laughed.

"I'm afraid it won't work. Do you think I haven't tried it? But this is a treasure trove of French history, a beautiful art hotel. Not for sale. In my last life, I offered 1.5 billion euros, but it was still rejected. ”

Belo also has a sense of humor.

"Really? That's a shame. In fact, you shouldn't be so stingy as a big man, and you can't talk about big business with buckles and ropes. In my opinion, it is right to directly offer 5 billion. I'd love to see if the French would be tempted by this price. ”

This witty answer made Zhuo Qun laugh.

"Well, count yourself on the big pockets. But it's not your job to make a fool of humanity. Not to mention that for the arrogant French, such an offer of yours is even more cruel. I advise you to hold your hand high. France's economy is bad enough, so let's not take advantage of the danger of others and pour salt into their wounds. ”

Zhuo Qun's words were puns on a romantic comedy dominated by Asian actors that would become a sensation in Hollywood two years later.

Of course, in this world, only Beilu knows what he is talking about.

"Crazy? But I think at the beginning of that movie, Michelle Yeoh bought the hotel and was very relieved. I would also like to take revenge on the French for having no eyes. ”

"Then I can only feel sorry for the French. Who makes their aesthetics bad, this is called self-inflicted. They should really give you the Best Picture nomination for "Mysterious Rebirth". ”

So the two of them tacitly laughed for a while.

Later, Beilu expressed her gratitude again, and showed the affection she had developed for this place.

"Seriously, you're such a competent tour guide. With you with me these days, my mood is much brighter, and I am a little reluctant to leave Nice. ”

"I won't talk about museums, oceanariums, or anything like that. I especially like the flower market in Piazza Salrea and Boulevard Jean Medsin, as well as the jumping restaurant on the reef, and now this hotel. ”

"I'm going to come back when the Cannes Film Festival is over. I would very much like to stay in this small town for a long time. Everyone doesn't say that Nice is the most beautiful in summer? I hope you can continue to be my tour guide. ”

Unexpectedly, Zhuo Qun shook his head.

"No, have you forgotten that in the middle of the night of July 14 this summer, there will be a disaster in the city of Nice. The French National Day celebrations will be attacked when a large truck crashes into a crowd watching the Bastille Day fireworks display. At least 84 people were killed and 202 injured in the attack. Unfortunately, this summer, Nice is not the right place for us. Don't talk about you, even I have to stay away from this land of right and wrong. ”

Beilu was speechless and said for a while.

"It seems that I am still too inexperienced compared to a veteran like you. ”

Zhuo Qun is not modest about this.

"If you consider the possibility of doing it all over again. I think it's certainly necessary to be a little more prepared. However, I don't mean memorizing lottery numbers. It's plane crashes, hotel fires, train accidents, terrorist attacks, and so on. Preparing for bad things is the most important thing. ”

Belle nodded.

"You're right, these things that matter with security are really important. After all, none of us knows what will happen if we die early, and it's scary to think about. It would be too bad if that happened. A reborn person dies of an interruption in reincarnation? Not funny joke at all. ”

Then she raised her eyes and stared at Zhuoqun with expectation.

"Would you like to spend a little more time talking to me about these things? I mean, it would be nice if you would come with me to the festival. I don't have a male partner yet. I really hope that you, a blue-faced confidant, can help me with this. ”

"No problem. I'm going to leave anyway, so I might as well go with you. ”

Zhuo Qun did not disappoint Bei Lu and agreed.

He didn't even think much about it, and he came up with a better suggestion.

"Listen to me, more importantly, I think you have hardly been free from anxiety in your life, and your life and mentality have been ruined by career success. Obviously you are richer than anyone else, but you have never enjoyed anything with peace of mind, and you really owe yourself. How about we just have a good time at the end of this life. I mean, watch everything you can as a team. ”

"If you wish, and my intention is this, I may ask Monsieur Capet to sail us to Cannes. Then after the film festival, we don't go back here, we go straight to Paris. After a few days in Paris, we will take the Orient train to explore the cities along the route. In this way, while enjoying the scenery, you can also give your daughter a field trip to those therapy schools. ”

"After that, probably late summer and early fall, we'll be able to come back again. When the time comes, although the lavender in Provence has withered, there is still a hunting season waiting for us. If you are interested, I can teach you horseback riding and shooting. If you're not afraid of blood, maybe you can join me in a bird hunt, what do you think?"

Bei Lu couldn't be more satisfied, because her situation was indeed as Zhuo Qun said.

"It was fantastic, I think it must be enjoyable. Seriously, not only in this life, but in two lives combined, I seem to be the happiest in the past few days. I'm looking forward to seeing what your erudite person appreciates and enjoys participating in. I hope you can surprise me more. ”

But I didn't expect Bei Lu to say this a little too much.

Zhuo Qun's new idea immediately surprised her, and she felt like she was cocooned.

"Okay. How about I arrange some more activities in the air? Have you ever taken to the skies in a glider or a parachute?"

"You mean...... No, never. However, I find it difficult for me to adapt to this aspect...... Forget it. ”

"Haha, that's a retreat? No. ”

"I really ......"

"Alright. Trust me, okay? I promise, you'll love the feeling of soaring through the air, and I'll be with you. Don't forget, I'm a good chef, a good hunter, a good painter, a good journalist and of course a great gliding expert. ”

Bei Lu can no longer refuse, Zhuo Qun asserted.

Then he took out a large brocade box from his leather bag as a gift of encouragement.

"Please be brave and don't pout. Otherwise, maybe I won't give you these good things and take them back. ”

"It's ......"

Bei Lu didn't expect to get another sweet date after being hit with a stick, and there was a surprise.

"Hannah's most valuable jewelry, I took it out and cleaned it, and just took it back. You haven't seen them yet, but I think you're the only one who deserves them. I was thinking, why don't you wear them to the Cannes Film Festival, they're going to make everyone's eyes flutter. ”

Zhuo Qun said as he opened the box.

In front of Beilu is a set of extremely delicate and gorgeous ruby and diamond-encrusted classical jewelry.

Seriously, it's beautiful, it's really dazzling, and it's definitely a royal jewel.

But for some reason, I saw only a necklace and two earrings, but no ring.

Bei Lu was pleasantly surprised, but couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

No, it's not because of greed, it's not ......
