At Charles de Gaulle Airport, the tax refund counter is always the busiest window, and it is crowded with tax refund crowds at any given time. Chen Mo had sorted out all the invoices last night, and the goods he purchased were all placed in an orderly manner, so it took less than ten minutes to complete the formalities and receive more than 800 euros in cash from the hands of the customs officers.

However, the two colleagues acted slowly, annoyed the staff, and deliberately postponed their procedures for a long time, until they were about to board the plane, and Chen Mo said a lot of good things to them next to them, so they could be regarded as returning the money to them.

Because Norway does not use the euro, coupled with the protection measures of European countries for currencies, they can't carry too much cash with them, and they are unwilling to convert euros into RMB into the account, so they gave Chen Mo all the money and deposited it in Chen Mo's foreign exchange account.

This account was handled when he came to the UK to study a few years ago, and he has not been cancelled, and this time he went abroad, which also played a lot of roles. At present, the control of foreign exchange accounts of domestic banks has not been completely liberalized, and there are no exchange measures for domestic banks in many regions, so even if there is a domestic foreign exchange account, it is not so easy to use.

There are no direct flights from Paris to Bergen, Norway's second largest city, so when booking tickets, they specially booked a KLM flight with a connecting flight from Amsterdam. The four of them went around and around until ten o'clock in the evening, when the plane finally landed at Bergen airport.

On the plane, the radio predicted the temperature in Bergen, and a light rain was inevitable in a city that rains most of the year. However, due to the warm current, the temperature has not been very low recently, and although the maximum temperature is only 10 degrees, the minimum temperature is 5 degrees.

Most people added clothes, but Chen Mo liked this temperature, and only added a woolen sweater, which was also the only thick clothes he brought.

He doesn't like summer, he doesn't like too hot weather, and every time it gets summer, he always feels that his brain's ability to think has deteriorated. On the contrary, he loves winter and is not afraid of the cold. From childhood to adulthood, in addition to wearing cotton clothes and cotton pants when he was a child, now even in winter, he is just a down jacket and a woolen sweater, and at most a pair of autumn pants underneath.

When he was a child, Roujia envied his physique, because Roujia was afraid of both heat and cold. Every year in winter, I always like to sleep with Chen Mo in my arms. When she grew up a little and knew that she was shy, she had to ask Chen Mo to help her warm the quilt before driving him away and getting into it by herself.

Chen Mo has no impression of Bergen, and even for Norway, he feels that this is an unfamiliar region. A kingdom that exists only in fantasy and not in reality.

This is mainly because from hearing about this country, the impression Chen Mo received was an ethereal feeling. From Haruki Murakami's novel "Norwegian Wood", to the song of the same name by The Beatles, and even the song of the same name of the band of the last Treasure Island, Chen Mo has only one impression, that is, he is cold and isolated.

Roujia likes this novel very much, she often says that her body is Naoko, but her soul is Midoriko. She had always dreamed of one day being able to come to this country in person and experience life in isolation, but unfortunately, this wish was not fulfilled until her death.

When Chen Mo set off from home, he deliberately carried a photo of Li Shan with him, hoping that she could follow him and see this strange country with his own eyes.

The reception staff sent by Statoil was much warmer than Total's, and kept apologizing, as if Chen Mo was the fault of their plane being late and the rain in Bergen.

Before coming, Chen Mo had no impression of Bergen, but just took the information distributed by the company and went through it. This small city of 200,000 people is the second largest city in Norway and one of the cultural capitals of Europe.

Due to its unique geographical location, it is also Norway's largest seaport and window to the outside world, through which more than half of the country's exports are shipped to the world.

The discovery of the North Sea oil field has also made Bergen, the nearest one, an important oil industry base in Northern Europe, and petroleum refining, shipbuilding, machinery, and metal processing have become another important industrial pillar of Bergen.

Since everyone knows English, Chen Mo's role as a translator is not so important, except for some professional terms, which need to be mentioned by him on the side, most of the time, he is just a spectator.

The manager Ballmer who came to greet him was also an old acquaintance of Minister Xue, and they chatted enthusiastically in the back row, so Chen Mo could also be distracted, sit in the passenger seat, and look at the dark world outside.

Although the rain stopped at this point, the clouds were still thick, the stars could not be seen, and the whole world seemed to be pitch black. Only the lights of the inhabitants between the mountains and fields emitted a faint glow scattered and scattered. Looking out of the car window, up and down the hillside, the lights from far and near are endless, it seems to be like the starlight in the sky, if you don't sit in the car, it can give people a sense of spatial confusion.

Chen Mo took out Roujia's photo from his suit pocket and pressed it tightly against the car window, as if this would also allow her to see the outside world.

Twenty minutes later, the car passed through a tunnel of more than 2,000 meters, and as soon as it came out, it entered the city of Bergen. Although it is the second largest city in Norway, it is really small, and the silhouette of the whole city is visible from the hillside.

Turn left along the hillside and you will see the docks on your right, and on your left you will find small wooden houses hidden in the woods. The car soon entered a hotel, a five-story building, the largest building Chen Mo had ever seen in the city.

Chen Mo put Roujia's photo in his pocket and cleaned up his emotions. As soon as the car stopped, I saw seven or eight colleagues come out of it, each with a sincere smile on their faces.

They are far away from their family and friends, and they will stay in this strange country for months, and this is not a big city like London or Paris, and here, I am afraid that they are all going crazy.

The arrival of colleagues from the two technical appraisal departments not only brought them a lot of things from their hometown, but also letters from their families, and for a while, they were warmly welcomed, and even Minister Xue, the leader, was almost forgotten aside.

Minister Xue didn't care too much, it was almost midnight, and a large group of people were really noisy and disturbing the people, so he sent them back to the room to chat.

When he came to Norway, Chen Mo's identity also changed, and in the official letter with Statoil, he was no longer a translator, but gave him the name of an assistant.

Minister Xue is a big leader, of course, he can't be a bare-bones commander, which is too unimposing, and it also damages Minister Xue's image in the eyes of the other party.

To put it mildly, this also damages the corporate image of CNPC. For such a major project, you can't just arrange a leader to come over in addition to the technical staff, right?!

also thanks to this blessing, Chen Mo was also arranged by the other party to rest in a suite, which was opposite Minister Xue's room. However, Minister Xue's room is facing the bay and can enjoy a panoramic view of Bergen city and the beautiful mountains opposite, while Chen Mo's room can only see the backyard facing the mountains and the woods on the mountain.

After tossing and turning all day, from several hours of negotiation in a row, to the transfer of three cities, at this time, not to mention that Minister Xue felt tired, even Chen Mo also felt a little tired.

But when he returned to the room and took a hot bath in the warm room, Chen Mo didn't feel sleepy anymore.

What intrigued him was the underfloor heating in the room, which was close to the Arctic Circle and the temperature was very low, but the rooms here were not air-conditioned and all used underfloor heating.

This made Chen Mo very curious, because this kind of floor heating not only has no smell, but it also seems to be different from the heating used in his home. The climate in the capital is dry, and the home is equipped with radiators, although there is no problem with keeping warm, but it is too dry. If you don't put a basin of water in the room, you won't be able to stand it for a few days.

Chen Mo is so angry that he often gets nosebleeds if he doesn't pay attention. But for his grandfather, the impact of this internal dryness on the body is even greater. And in this room, because the heating is under the floor, the impact on the air humidity in the house is much smaller, if you install such a set of equipment at home, it should be much better for grandpa's health.

However, because he didn't understand this aspect, he tossed around the room for a long time, and he didn't understand how floor heating worked. I asked the waiter, and I only found out that the equipment in their hotel was natural gas, and he didn't understand anything else.

When I woke up in the comfortable bed, the forest outside the window had already shown its original outline, and although the sky was full of dark clouds, it was not raining at this time.

Chen Mo looked at the time, it was almost half past seven, and the sky had not yet dawned. When he first arrived in a strange country, Chen Mo was also excited and didn't want to rub in bed, so he put on sneakers and a windproof jacket and prepared to go out for morning sports.

Walking out of the hotel, he found that the hotel was located at the foot of a small hill at the top of a peninsula, surrounded almost by sea water on all sides, and in the distance there were mountains and dense peaks surrounding the small city.

Since there is no sun, you can't tell the direction, to the right is the sleeping city of Bergen, and to the left, due to the arrival of autumn, the forest becomes colorful, and there are hidden wooden houses and villas, which really has a bit of a paradise.

Chen Mo jogged in the direction of the city, and due to the rain just after the rain, the surrounding forests, streets, including houses, became spotless. There was almost no one to be seen on the road, so Chen Mo couldn't help but slow down, for fear of waking up the city.

I ran to a fish market, which is a little more popular, but it may be due to the season, the fish market here is not big, and it does not match the introduction above, this is the largest fish market in Northern Europe. But he's not a traveler either, and he doesn't stop to get a taste of the Nordic flair, after all, he has to do his job before he has the leisure to get around.
