012. First arrival in Venice
Leaving the hospital, my feelings are very complicated, self-blame with regret, although Yangmei's illness can't be completely because of me, but I may have to bear most of the reasons,
Lu Hongtao called and told me that he had found the person who bought the house, but he couldn't contact Yang Mei's family, these are no longer important, I already know where Yang Mei is going, so I let Lu Hongtao rest.
I called Liu Yue and Meng Qingqing and told them about Yangmei.
"What, you said Yang Mei has congenital heart disease. Liu Yue said with surprise and worry.
"That's right, and it's serious," I sighed,
"Can't it be treated? If you need money, our company can take care of it," Liu Yue said without hesitation.
"Do you think I'll be stingy with this little money, let alone Yangmei, even if it's an ordinary friend in difficulty, I won't sit idly by," I smiled bitterly: "The key problem is that it's not a matter of money anymore, but the success rate of this operation is very low, and there is almost no possibility of success," It's only 1999 now, and the level of medicine is not very developed. ,
"Then what should I do, we can't just watch her leave us like this," Liu Yuehe asked anxiously, "You should think of a way." ”
"Hehe, don't worry. I smiled, "You listen to me first." ”
"What are you laughing at, when has this been, you are still laughing,
Liu Yue said angrily.
"Didn't I say it, you support me and say slowly, although Yang Mei's illness is almost incurable from a medical point of view, but I am 99% sure that she will be cured" I smiled and said, "So I am going to find Yang Mei." ”
"Really," Liu Yue knew my ability, if I said that I was sure, it was really sure, so when I heard me say this, he also showed a knowing smile, "That's great, I'm you, you go and find Yangmei, there are me and Qingqing at home, you should rest assured,." ”
"I think so too. So say hello to you, and I'll be ready to leave for Venice in a moment. I said.
"Can I help you book a plane ticket?" asked Liu Yue.
"Okay, I'll go to the company in a while," I nodded, as for the passport issue, don't worry at all, after I walked up to the front desk, Liu Yue has already helped me apply for visas for various countries, due to the detachment and particularity of the international status of Shuguang Group, so the visa is very easy to pass.
With all this in mind, I set out on my journey to Venice.
Venice is located in the northeast of Italy, is an important port on the northwest coast of the Adriatic and Venice Bay, and it is strange that Venice is a city composed of a group of small islands, and there are as many as 118 of them.
Moreover, the hot springs in the city of Venice are built on the water, and the main means of transportation is the boat, and what makes me interesting is that there is a dedicated airport in such a water city.
Venice Airport, full name Venice 8566, Marco Polo Airport (Cenicemancopoeoainpont), Venice Airport named after the great traveler Marco Polo, 13 kilometers from the center of Venice, mainly operating Italian domestic flights, but even if there is an airport, in 99 years, there is still no direct flight from China to Venice, must be carried out in other cities in Italy need to transfer, when the route was opened in the previous life, I can't remember, probably around 07 years, after all, this is not what I care about。 ,
Two days later, I showed up at Venice's Marco Polo Airport, where I didn't know anyone, and Dawning's headquarters in Milan, Italy, also had an office, but I didn't want to bother them.
I'm going to find a place to settle down first, after all, Yang Mei's matter is not in a hurry, even if it is relatively simple to find a Chinese in a foreign city, but it is not easy to catch 6.
I got on a water taxi that is very characteristic here, which is actually a small water runabout, which can only be seen in the waters of Venice, but not in Huaxia.
I knew Italian in my previous life, so I didn't have any difficulty communicating with people.
"Man, are you here for business?" As soon as we got into the dinghy, the driver saw that I could speak Italian, so he struck up a conversation with me.
"I'm ,,,,, kind of travel, but it's actually a matter of personal affairs. "Because I arrived in Venice, I was not far from meeting Yangmei, so I was in a good mood, so I chatted with him.
"Hehe, there are not too many Chinese people here, and even fewer people can speak Italian. The driver smiled: "You're like this, right?"
"Yes, but I've learned a little about it on TV before, "I've been here once in my last life because of work, but it was in 2010, and I wasn't very impressed by the hurry.
"Venice is good, it's a very touristy city, with a lot of features, how about it, do you need a charter? I'm always at your service. The driver began to sell business.
I thought about it for a while, anyway, I need a car to find Yang Mei, so I nodded and said, "Okay, but what about on land?"
"That's no problem, my brother drives a taxi on land, you use his car when you go by land, and you come to me when you do water, and you need to pay a fee. The driver said.
"Okay, then I'll take your car off, what do you call it?" I didn't care how much it cost, the point was that seeing him so enthusiastic, I really needed a guide.
"Don't you ask the price, my name is Mark, and my brother's name is Luki," the driver asked.
"I don't think you'll lie to me, if I charge too much, I can go and charter someone else's car the next day, right?" I laughed.
"Of course, the price of a charter is 800 euros per day, and of course, if you need to travel at night, you have to increase it to 1,000 euros. Mark said.
"Eight hundred euros?" I roughly calculated, it was eight thousand Chinese coins, which was expensive enough.
"Don't think it's expensive, it's already the lowest price,,," Mark saw my questioning tone, thinking that I was too expensive
"Well, it's eight hundred euros, and you'll take it around the city from tomorrow. I nodded, the money was nothing to me.
"Okay, where are you going now?" said Mark, cheerfully.
"Help me find a hotel nearby, you can pick me up tomorrow, and I'll have a good rest." I said.
"No problem, there's one around here, is it okay to have a four-star one?" asked Mark.
"It doesn't matter,,It's almost on the line," I don't have any special requirements for these, as long as the environment is comfortable, after all, I'm not here to enjoy, I have a task, and I don't have to find a five-star hotel.
When I came to the Chiogio Hotel, not far from Piazza San Marco in Venice, I couldn't help but look at this typical European-style classical building in front of me.
"Well, it's not bad. Mark was pleased and proud to see me: "It is the best hotel in the neighborhood that has preserved the characteristics of the old architecture of Venice, with its spacious halls and charming inner courtyard, which is unique among Venetian hotels. ”
"It's really good," I nodded heartily, I don't know the rules for hotel star ratings here, but it's definitely enough for a five-star hotel in some places.
When I walked into the lobby of the hotel, I felt that the choice was worth it, with a large collection of rare authentic works and some masterpieces displayed in the lobby of the hotel, as well as a special "Accademia Gallery" where the famous "Tempest" and the original paintings of the three philosophers are preserved.
I checked in with my passport, then exchanged contact information with Mark, and gave him a part of the deposit in advance, and agreed to pick me up early tomorrow morning.
I asked for a relatively classical room, although I didn't come to enjoy it, but it would make people feel comfortable.
After taking a hot bath, I lay on the bed and began to close my eyes and recuperate, thinking about how to find Yang Mei's whereabouts, this is not China after all, and it is not the scope of my dark forces, I can't mobilize official forces to find someone, maybe I can put pressure on the local government through the influence of Dawn or East Asia Power, but it is difficult to guarantee that they will really look for it with their hearts, if it is perfunctory to me, let Yang Mei know that I am looking for her, and leave here early, then it will not be a loss.
So I need time and practical observation, and then find the most reasonable set of solutions, so that it is safe, anyway, there are still a few months, and there is no rush at this time.
