Just now, Shu Tao and Ma Jun talked about "New York and Paris".

The reason why Shutao doesn't like New York has something to do with her experience and her pride. In New York, she couldn't find love. There's only sex there.

Let's put it this way, Shu Tao knows very well that in fact, love has always been given an irreplaceable place in human history by myths and novels, but, this is like human beings making up gods and ghosts, everyone knows who the gods are and what monsters are, but they have never seen them, but when these two concepts come to mind, emotions will still arise in their hearts: worship, or fear.

That's what it feels like to face love.

Why doesn't Shutao like New York, yes, I have just said it, there is no love there.

And what about Paris?

Maybe there is no love, but there are signs of love, and it's like the whole of Europe, full of mythology, where even if you know that there are no gods like anywhere else on earth, but the frescoes, the sculptures, the churches, make you feel very close to God. The slowness, leisure, and countless brand-name stores there make Shutao feel that she is very close to love.

New Yorkers use love as a guise for sexual gratification.

Parisians use love as a concoction to improve the quality of sex.

The two are different, the former is a scam and the latter is a resource.

To put it bluntly, New Yorkers don't like to waste time on the process, and Parisians don't like to waste time on the purpose, after all, the process is more valuable.

Back to New York.

It was related to an experience with Shutao. Also because of the intranet, Shu Tao made a boyfriend who was studying in New York in her sophomore year, and obviously, it was this boyfriend who chased Shu Tao first.

Shutao once flew directly from Paris to New York to find him. At that time, Shutao was full of passion for following love, as long as he could find this person in the vast sea of people, even if he flew for a few hours.

This man booked a hotel for her—an ordinary Redburry hotel on Madison Avenue. In the evening, the man took her to Korea Street to eat barbecue, and after sending her back to the hotel, he stayed for the night as Shu Tao thought in advance. But because of the fatigue of the journey, Shu Tao really had no interest in going to bed, and the man didn't bring safety supplies, so they slept next to each other all night and didn't do anything.

The next day, the man left and never appeared in Shu Tao's field of vision again. This man omitted to communicate with Shutao, understand and even the simplest thing about visiting a small park, and jumped directly to bed, but nothing happened! This is so pale and abrupt for Shutao, there is no temptation at all.

Shutao called him the next day and asked him to go boating in Central Park together, and the man only replied: "That's what rich people do, I don't have this kind of spare time to spend all my time on this, I need to work, I need to pay my tuition." ”

Well, for the next few days, Shutao spent the next few days with Shulei. Fortunately, Shulei went to school there, if Shulei wasn't there, it is estimated that Shutao would really have to stay alone in such a cold city at that time, maybe it is not as simple as hating it now, maybe she will resent New York. She spent five days in New York and returned to Paris with several large boxes of designer clothes she had bought on Fifth Avenue.

Shutao thought that she could meet different men in different places, and this man might bring her love, but men are like the clothes she buys, and these things can also be bought in Paris, so why go to New York?

Since then, Shutao has dragged this kind of stingy and boring man who is tired of life into the recycling bin and empties them again.

However, there is another type of man in her life, who is spoiled and spending. Although you don't have to be tired, but you are wandering in the same place, no thoughts, so featureless, just like an ordinary brand-name cashmere sweater, you can have ten pieces, but you can't tell where they are, why do you want to buy them, you haven't liked or hated them, they seem to be a part of your life, if one day you don't have the ability to have them, you won't feel pitiful - this kind of man, it's Yue Ran!

However, just this year, there was a third type of man in her life - Ma Jun, he was unique, without the bad of the first type of man, nor the emptiness of the second type of man, he may be the handicraft that Shu Tao encountered in Nepal or any unexpected place, she knew that as long as she missed it this time and turned around to find it, he might not be there.

It has nothing to do with the noble and lowly, he doesn't need her to spend too much money, but he needs God to give her such an opportunity. If she has no eyes and is not sure, she may never meet a second one until she dies.

Shutao calls this kind of man an opportunity - or fate. But Shutao is very afraid now, and if he loses him one day, he will never be able to find it again!

She clenched Ma Jun's hand, hoping that they would never be separated like this.

After about 16 hours of flight, the plane finally arrived in Paris. Lee was ecstatic as soon as she entered Paris, and to commemorate her first visit to Paris, she wrote down what she had seen during the five days in her diary.

The following is Levin's "Notes on Visiting Paris":

【Sunday, August 13】

My trip to Paris with Shutao was like a trip through time and space, and I felt like I had entered another universe.

I never thought that for the first time in my life, I would be able to eat BJ roast duck from Quanjude on a plane with a space of 1,000 meters, or watch Kingdom Hearts in an IMAX-like video hall on the plane, and I would never sing in an airplane karaoke hall with LED flashing lights.

Without me knowing, our plane landed at Le Bourget airport (1), which was very well organized and very polite and welcoming. No queues, no crowds, no panic, only three customs officers stamped our passports, by the way, our visas were signed within three hours after being guaranteed by Qu Tang Real Estate, before that I didn't know that as long as I had enough money, I could do whatever I wanted and skip the normal way.

As soon as we got off the plane, a black Land Rover was waiting for us. Oh, by the way, there are also six bodyguards who resemble Alain Delon, and these bodyguards hired by Shutao are all French veterans, who accompany them 24 hours a day.

The black car took us around the city and ended up at the Shangri-La Hotel, where Mr. Qu had bought enough rooms for two floors.

The place is like a private mansion, as it was once the site of Prince Roland Bonaparte, the nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte(2), which took four years to renovate.

The overall color of the suite we stayed in was cream and turquoise, and there was a beautiful dressing table with a three-sided folding mirror, and I took a lot of pictures of each corner when I came in.

I wanted to close my eyes and refresh myself like Erman, but I was so excited, I had jet lag, and I didn't get used to it for a while after sleeping on the plane for so long.

[Monday, August 14]

When I woke up early in the morning and saw the Eiffel Tower outside the window, I thought I was still asleep, but immediately I realized that I was really in Paris! Today I really learned about the friends of Shutao, who are them.

Wang Yueshan - her mother Shen Yun is the editor-in-chief of the fashion group "Lady" magazine, her father is a financial tycoon, owns seven banks overseas, and is now a financial consultant for China Merchants Bank.

Yan Wandi - She comes from a high-ranking family, and her mother owns the largest mining group in the country.

Deng Xiaoling – She told me that she had had this short bob hair since she was a student. She is the heir to numerous shopping malls and cinemas, and she is married to the son of a Taiwanese tycoon.

Hu Ruonan - Her father is the king of natural gas.

Wang Wenjia - her chin, nose, and cheekbones are all newly reshaped, and she is also a new generation of rich girls. Ten years ago, her father started a company in the living room of his home, and now her father is known as China's version of Bill Gates.

As soon as we arrived at Boulevard Saint-Paulais, the girls dispersed and went to different boutiques. Deng Xiaoling and Hu Ruonan went to Balenciaga, while Yan Wandi, Wang Yueshan and Dr. Zhang Qi went to Mulberry, Mrs. Qu and her friends rushed directly to Goyard, and Shu Tao and Ma Jun rushed directly into LV. I was arranged to go to Moynat with Wang Wenjia, Erman, Lixuan and Yuan Yuan. I've never heard of this leather brand. Its most iconic Rejane pouches cost 6,000 euros each, and their leather is even sourced from cows that haven't been bitten by mosquitoes. After Wang Wenjia walked around the store, she pointed to three of the bags, and the clerk came over and asked, "Madam, do you want to see these three bags?" "No, I want all the others except these three!" Wang Wenjia said, taking out her JPM Palladium credit card. My ancestors, these are true, I have only seen them in brainless TV dramas before!!!!

【Tuesday, August 15】

I guess word must have been revealed to every designer store this morning that China's five largest weapons of mass destruction are all in the city.

Because early this morning, the envoys of the top boutiques sent invitations to Shangri-La, and all these exquisite invitations had the exact time written on them. Today's itinerary is to Avenue Montaigne. The CHANEL store there had already opened for us in advance, and they also prepared an exquisite breakfast for us because of the book peach.

As I ate the quiche I had never tasted so good, the girls ignored the elaborate breakfast and ran to try out the tweed coats. Deng Xiaoling said to a Chinese clerk, "Why do your clothes fade after wearing them for a while?" The clerk smiled and said, "I'm sorry, we didn't consider the problem of fading before the production of our clothes, because for you, you won't wear these clothes more than three times." "When I heard the clerk say that, I almost squirted out the quiche I was eating!

Then it was lunchtime, we went to the Chloé boutique and the next afternoon tea was at Dior.

I've seen some rich girls around me spend money on some famous brands before, but I've never seen the way these friends spend money, it's amazing!

Like a plague of locusts, these girls sweep away everything in sight when they descend on every boutique, while Shutao holds her breath and posts every transaction on social media.

In the excitement, I bought my first haute couture piece – a pair of beautifully crafted navy shorts that I found on a discount rack at Chloé, which I thought were very versatile.

Needless to say, in the eyes of other girls, discount fights do not exist at all, and they see nothing but the outfits for the new season.

Lixuan decided that after visiting Chanel, he and Erman and Yuan Yuan went to visit the taxidermy museum. Only Ma Jun is quite enthusiastic about this "work". He stayed there and watched lovingly as Shutao vacuumed up all the famous brands. He doesn't admit it, but you have to know that when a man goes shopping with a group of women can go shopping for up to 15 hours – that's true love.

Of course, Ma Jun is also desperately sweeping the goods, but he is much faster than these girls!

When Mrs. Qu was hesitating whether to buy a ruby necklace for 6.8 million euros at Bulgari or an 8.4 million euro yellow diamond necklace across the street from Boucheron, Ma Jun took the opportunity to hide away. Twenty minutes later, he walked out of Chavet, came back with a dozen shopping bags in his hand, and secretly handed me one. When I got back to the hotel, I opened it and found a well-tailored white striped light pink shirt – as you can imagine, it was made from the softest cotton. Ma Jun must have figured that this would go well with my new Chloé trousers. Ma Jun is such a lovely person, no wonder Shutao likes him!

【Wednesday, August 16】

Today is Haute Couture Fashion Day. In the morning, we visited the studios of Bouchra Jarrar (3) and Alexis Mabille (4) and took part in their private fashion show.

At Bouchra, I witnessed something I've never seen in my life: women fall into multi-*** madness for pants. Obviously, Bouchra's cleverly tailored pants are like a second spring, well, it's your second spring.

In the next studio, Alexis only shows up at the end of the fashion show, and the girls suddenly become brain-dead fans at the "One Direction" concert, trying to impress Alexis so that he can give them a "one-on-one" measurement service.

After a casual lunch at a restaurant in Dworskis, Lixuan, Ma Jun and Yuan Yuan went to Morsheim to visit the Bugatti car factory, while Mrs. Qu insisted on visiting the Hermès boutique on rue de Sèvres. (By the way, her feet don't seem to hurt anymore, even after 72 hours of walking on the sidewalk.) I've never learned about the allure of Hermès, but I have to admit that it's pretty cool – it's set in the former indoor swimming pool of the Lutetia Hotel, and all the merchandise is scattered across different countertops in the expansive atrium.

Hu Ruonan was indignant that the store didn't chase away the crowd for her, and she decided to boycott the place.

She then walks around and makes contemptuous comments about other Asian guests.

"Don't you think it's natural to shop around these people?" I joked.

"These people aren't rich – they're just 'high and not rich'!" Hu Ruonan scoffed.

"What is high or not?" I asked.

She glared at me viciously: "Don't you know how to speak and interpret words?—— don't you know what Gao is not rich means?"

I racked my brains, but I still didn't know. Hu Ruonan finally said it: "It's - high-income people, but not rich."

【Thursday, August 17】

Today I can finally rest for a while and get ready to go back tomorrow. But Shu Tao came to tell me that she was going to Switzerland with Ma Jun, and Yuan Yuan also wanted to follow, but Shu Tao refused.

I feel that Erman is becoming more and more unhappy these days, because Yuan Yuan is always absent-minded in front of her, and he does not show any interest in Erman at all.

We called Lixuan to the room to discuss this issue while a few girls were going to the hotel spa. Li Xuan said: "Can't you see that Yuan Yuanqi's real purpose is not to hook up with Erman, he was sent by Yue Ran to monitor Shu Tao." ”

Erman's eyes widened, and he felt that he had suffered another loss. She sighed and didn't speak again.

I called Huang Junjie today, and he happened to come to me at some time today. It was the most memorable time of my life, I slept with the man I loved in the Shangri-La Hotel in Paris.

At the end of the diary, I just want to say, I love Paris!

Je t'aime，Paris！
