1433, a day trip to Paris
The two booked their last double room in an Ibis hotel chain, 100 meters from the Montparnasse Tower and 60 meters from the Montparnasse train and metro station, received the keys, and took the elevator to visit the room and leave their luggage by the way.
Whether it is the elevator or the room, just like Wang Bo's impression, it is cramped and cramped. The furniture such as the TV and the bed in the room was also pocket-sized. The TV is the kind of 14-inch tuotuo TV that is rare in China, and the so-called double bed, Wang Bo measured it with his eyes, and it felt that it was only one meter and two wide at most.
However, in addition to the small space, simple furnishings, and small furniture, the whole room was cleaned and sorted out very clean, tidy, and spotless. There is also a carpet on the floor, although it is not the expensive carpet found in a five-star hotel.
"Ning Qian, do you want to rest for a while? I can go around first, I feel like you basically didn't sleep much last night. Wang Bo put the travel bag in his hand on the small table by the window, and said to Ning Qian, who looked a little nervous and restrained after entering the room.
"It's okay, Mr. Wang. I...... We're all used to it. Ning Qian blushed slightly and shook her head, the other party's concern for her made her feel a warm current flowing through her heart again.
"Hehe, it's really okay, don't let us go out for a walk later, halfway through the stroll, you'll fall asleep, and then ask me to carry you back!" Wang Bo smiled and made a joke.
"Talent...... No!" Ning Qianqiao's face flushed, and she whispered.
"Okay, let's go out and see the Grand Paris now. Wang Bo got up from his chair, and now he couldn't wait to revisit the famous places and scenery that he had experienced in his previous life.
At this moment, Ning Qian was a little embarrassed and said, "Mr. Wang, I ...... I'd like to change my clothes first, can I?"
Wang Bo looked up, and then noticed that the girl was still wearing the flight attendant's uniform: a white long-sleeved blouse, a red pony coat on the outside and a red skirt underneath, but there was no colorful silk scarf and red ceremonial hat around her neck.
Walking out in such a uniform is indeed more eye-catching, and he has noticed it when he walked on the road not long ago. At first, I wanted to buy a set of casual clothes for the other party when I went shopping, but I didn't want the other party to bring their own clothes.
"Okay, then I'll go out first. Wang Bo nodded, a little reluctant to see the outfit in front of him. The reason why the identity of flight attendants makes men all over the world think about it is not unrelated to their dress. If all the flight attendants were the waitresses in the roadside flies, the waitresses in the restaurant were featureless, and even greasy, and the number of people who were in reverie would definitely drop by more than half immediately.
However, he also knew that it was not appropriate to let Ning Qian go out with him like this and travel around Paris.
"It's okay, Mr. Wang, I'm ...... I went to the bathroom to change my clothes. Ning Qian, who got Wang Bo's consent, immediately hurried to the bathroom with the white paper bag she was carrying.
Wang Bo continued to sit on the single sofa by the window, but his eyes were fixed on the bathroom by the door. Ning Qian was changing her clothes in the bathroom, and at this time, Wang Bo found that his mouth was a little dry, and his throat was a little itchy.
After a few minutes, the glass door of the bathroom gently opened from the inside, and then a completely changed girl stepped out. The girl wore a pair of slim-fitting blue jeans with a black short-sleeved T-shirt on top, and her hair, which had been tied at the back of her head with a haircover, was lowered to form a dark, slightly curly waterfall scattered behind her shoulders. The whole dress, although simple, looks pure and beautiful because the girl has a good figure and a beautiful person. Ning Qian walked up to Wang Bo with a blushing face, bit her lip slightly, and said with trepidation:
"Mr. Wang, I changed my ......"
Sure enough, it is a beautiful woman with a smooth strip and a plate, no matter how she wears it, Wang Bo secretly praised in his heart, withdrew his gaze, stood up from the sofa, waved his big hand, and said:
"Then let's go and see the world's number one tourist destination!"
The two took the elevator downstairs, asked for a traffic map of Paris at the front desk, and consulted the front desk attendant, asking him to use a pen to mark the addresses of several of the most famous places of interest in Paris, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs-Élysées and other attractions.
The two went out and started to go to the first attraction, the iconic building of Paris, the Eiffel Tower.
The most convenient way to get around Paris is, of course, the metro with excellent access. The Paris metro has a total of 14 main lines and 2 branch lines, with a total of 380 stations and 87 intersections, covering the entire city. Wang Bo, who had been in Paris for half a month, easily traveled around Paris with a traffic map full of French.
On the contrary, it is not very convenient to take a taxi in Paris. First, the price is deadly expensive, and second, even if you stand on the side of the road and wave, most of the rental cars that roar by will not stop. It's not that these drivers are deliberately turning a blind eye, but that the taxis, which look empty, have actually been called and booked.
Yes, most of the taxis in Europe need to be booked in advance by phone. This is very convenient for locals, but it is quite unfriendly for foreigners who do not speak the local language and are not familiar with the local area. In his previous life, when he was on a business trip in Europe and needed to take a taxi, Wang Bo basically asked the front desk of the hotel or customers to help him call a taxi.
There is a subway station near the hotel, and after leaving the station, the two of them first went to the ticket office of the subway station to buy a day and weekly pass. One of the advantages of the Paris metro is that there is a distinction between time, day, week, and annual passes, and the longer the time, the cheaper the price, and there are a variety of options according to their needs. Wang Bo planned to stay in Paris for a few days, so he bought a weekly ticket.
On the following day, taking advantage of the developed subway system in Paris, Wang Bo took her translator Ning Qian to visit the Eiffel Tower, the Place de la Concorde, and the obelisk standing on the Place de la Concorde.
Revisiting his hometown for the second time, Wang Bo's mood is very different from his previous life.
In my previous life, when I went to France, business trips and visiting customers were the main purposes, and tourism was just incidental. And at that time, he had only entered the company not long ago, and urgently needed to open the European market, and the pressure of sales was extremely great, day to night, in addition to arranging and planning to visit customers, trying to promote the company's products to customers, and achieving sales tasks, but also to collect all kinds of information - customer information, their demands, opinions and suggestions on the improvement of the company's products, information about domestic competitors, the performance and market share of competitors' products in the local market...... Basically, all that turns in my mind is business, the ancient city, the beautiful and beautiful scenery, the exotic customs and charm, like a marquee passing in front of me, but for Wang Bo, who is not playing on it, he didn't leave much impression.
This time it is different, there is no pressure at work, there is no penny broken in half, and the economic thrift that I want to save for the company wholeheartedly, the same scenery, the same people, appear in different moods, different status, but in the eyes of the same person, it has different meanings. The quaint, historic city, wide or narrow, but with its well-connected streets, people from all over the world, of different skin colors and accents, have become cute.
As soon as he saw that it was close to noon, Wang Bo led Ning Qian and casually walked into a café on the side of the road - the cafes in Paris are like the teahouses and mahjong parlors in Rongcheng, they are simply everywhere, and many of them also put the tables directly on the road facing the street, becoming an open-air café - two cups of coffee and two Western meals - usually steak, eating and drinking, chatting, and watching the people outside from time to time, the bustling and lively streets, happy and comfortable.
The afternoon will start with a visit to the Arc de Triomphe and a tour of the Champs-Élysées.
Before leaving, Wang Bo asked again if he needed to go back to the hotel to rest. The other party had worked all day and didn't have much rest at night, so he was a little worried that Ning Qian wouldn't be able to bear it.
"It's okay, Mr. Wang. I'm not sleepy. Ning Qian smiled and shook her head.
"Ning Qian, I invite you to come out, in addition to letting you act as a temporary interpreter, I also want you to relax, take a break, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the world's first tourist resort. So, if you're tired, tell me, don't be tired, or I'll be guilty. ”
"I understand, Mr. Wang, thank you. ”
