Chapter Ninety-Four: The Castle
"Where is this?" Ji Qingling sat in the car and looked curiously, she thought that Fu Zijun would take her to Paris to visit the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe or something, but the plane landed at Frankfurt Airport first, and then took a three-hour car ride to this town surrounded by mountains.
"Metrah." He opened the car door and took her hand and got out of the car.
"Haven't heard of it, is this Germany or France?" She looked around suspiciously, her impression of France was limited to Paris, the Mediterranean, and Provence, and she didn't know anything else, who made her French teacher extremely fascinated by Chinese culture, but rarely mentioned the situation in her own country, and for a time she couldn't tell where the unfamiliar place name was.
"Germany."
She looked at him in astonishment, and came to Germany after a circle, didn't the plane land in Paris, "Didn't you say you were going to take me to France?" ”
"France will come back in a day or two, and an old friend happens to be here on a business trip, and he invited me to come over for a little meeting and talk about something by the way." He squeezed her hand apologetically, "But this is a world-famous porcelain city, and you can also get a glimpse of the style of a small German town." ”
It turned out that there was still business, no wonder he would take her out to play so happily, maybe the trip was just incidental, the main purpose was business, she pouted slightly, and was still a little lost.
However, when I saw the castle in front of me, I quickly turned into exclamation, "What a beautiful castle! ”
Ji Qingling saw the castle for the first time, she had only seen it on TV or pictures before, and the feeling was far less shocking than at the moment.
"It's so beautiful!" Every girl has a fairy tale about the castle and the princess and the prince in her heart. She is no exception, a handful of old people, and her eyes still shine with excitement and longing.
The corners of Fu Zijun's lips hooked slightly. In her time, she has rarely been so lively and excited.
"Let's go, we'll live here, and you can enjoy it during this time."
"Live here?" Ji Qingling looked at him incredulously, although she had also dreamed of living in a castle, she also knew that this was a historical and cultural building, and it was simply impossible.
Like can you imagine what it's like to live in the Forbidden City?
At this time, the reception staff had already stepped forward to take their luggage attentively. The middle-aged man at the head greeted Fu Zijun with a smile and said in English with a German accent, "Mr. Fu." Mrs. Fu, the room is ready, you can rest in the room for a while, or you can go to the town for a walk. In the evening, Mr. Yuna and Mr. Leo will have dinner with you. If there is anything you need, just tell us. ”
Fu Zijun also thanked him with a faint smile, the middle-aged man was very careful, Fu Zijun could communicate with people fluently in German, he knew it, but Ji Qingling couldn't figure it out, so he used English empatheticly, although Ji Qingling had a hard time listening, he understood it anyway. He asked in Chinese in a low voice with his eyes wide open. "The Mr. Leo he said won't be Li Dahai's brother."
He glanced at her with a smile, "It seems that French was not learned in vain during this time, at least I can understand people's names." ”
"Don't underestimate Li Dahai and me, we are indeed teaching seriously." When she spoke, Ji Qingling felt weak, Li Dahai's things were reluctant to cope with daily conversations, and it was absolutely impossible to understand the literature, Fu Zijun's words were more sarcastic than praised, she was clear, but she was still a dead duck with a hard mouth.
Fu Zijun looked at her with a smile, and didn't break it, she was embarrassed to see it, so she rolled her eyes helplessly, "You think everyone is you, you learn things so fast, language is such a thing for those who have no talent, you can only rely on the day after tomorrow to continue learning, I just learned French not long ago, and it is impossible to think how smart I am." ”
"The main reason is that your teacher was not chosen well, and I have to be replaced to teach, and I will ensure that you can read the literature without barriers for three months." Fu Zijun gestured confidently, anyway, he just didn't like Li Dahai.
"You're going to see Li Dahai's brother later, don't hack his brother in front of others."
"Black Plum Sea?" He curled his lips and smiled, "That's definitely Leo's favorite thing to do." ”
Fu Zijun has a cold temperament, and he doesn't have many close friends at all, and it was the first time Ji Qingling saw him with such an expression, "Leo is the old friend you said?" ”
"Hmm." He responded, "He is a very good person, completely different from Li Dahai's unreliable person." ”
Being able to receive such a high evaluation from Fu Zijun shows that Leo has a high status in his heart, and it seems that he is really his friend, not an ordinary business partner.
As soon as he entered the castle, Ji Qingling's attention was immediately taken away, the nineteenth-century architectural style, Gothic and Renaissance elements were perfectly blended, and this strong and beautiful atmosphere told every visitor that it has a long and noble history.
This is the background, looking at the antlers on the wall, she thought that Ji Jingui also placed two at home, but it gave people a feeling of nouveau riche, although she invited a famous designer to design, she always felt that something was missing, and what was missing was this thick history.
"I didn't expect such a magnificent castle to be converted into a hotel." Ji Qingling couldn't help sighing, this is simply impossible in China, aren't the Germans afraid of being destroyed by the guests of the hotel to destroy the historical and cultural buildings? Aren't they known for their rigor?
"The castle in Germany is privately owned, not state-owned, this castle originally belonged to the president of Villeroy & Boch, he and his family have been living here, and later more and more people came to visit here, and the Villeroy & Boch Group also developed in accordance with the international strategy, so the castle was changed into a boutique hotel, not open to the public, only for the company's VIPs, so it can not be regarded as a simple hotel, it can only be said to be a place for their company to entertain guests." Fu Zijun explained softly.
"What a smart German," Ji Qingling exclaimed, "It is equivalent to letting guests live in their own homes, and this way of entertaining guests will indeed make people feel at home, less of the hotel's formulaic coldness, and more of the warmth and warmth of home, in other words, I will also be willing to do more business with them, and you also have cooperation with them?" ”
He nodded, "Leo and I have cooperated with them, and this time I came to talk about the cooperation between the three of us in China." ”
"When will you be able to come out and have fun with me without business?" Although she complained, there was not much dissatisfaction on her face, more distressed, she couldn't even let go of the burden of work when she came out to play once, and his life was too tired.
"I will definitely fight for it next time." He kissed her hair apologetically, "Every room in the Kasbah Hotel has a different style, do you see what is written on our key?" ”
"Cannes, Cannes?" She looked at him with some uncertainty.
He nodded and opened the door, and the room was typical of the South of France, bright and fresh, elegant and quiet.
"It's beautiful!" Ji Qingling excitedly looked east and west, "This is the style I like." ”
"There are only 21 rooms in the hotel, each with a different name and a different style, would you like to visit it?" Seeing her excited, his face was also dyed with a smile.
"Is that okay?"
"Of course, as long as it's an unoccupied room, you can visit it at will."
"Great!" She was excited, but she couldn't help but yawn.
"I think it's not too late for you to take a nap and then look around." He reached out and stroked her face, her face was so sharp that it was distressing at the beginning of her serious illness, he was a little sleepy all the way, let alone her, it was only the new environment that made her overexcited, and she would suppress this tiredness.
"Okay, then I'll go take a nap first, what about you?" She also understands her physical condition, and even if she wants to visit, she is not in a hurry.
"I still have some business ......"
"No, you can sleep with me for a while." She looked at him with a blank face, he was working when she was sleeping on the plane, and now he has to work again, does he really think that he is beaten by iron and doesn't need to sleep?
"Sleeping with you?" Fu Zijun looked at her in surprise, obviously thinking crookedly.
Ji Qingling immediately blushed, looking very embarrassed, she was sluggish and only now realized that they had only booked a room, did they have to sleep together tonight?
"That, that, I don't care about you, I'll go rest first." She flew to the bathroom, it was really easy to deceive, Fu Zijun looked at her back and smiled.
Probably because of lack of energy, maybe it was too tired from a long journey, she slept for a whole afternoon, and when she woke up again, it was almost dusk, she opened her eyes in a trance, looked at the unfamiliar room, and couldn't figure out where she was for a moment, until Fu Zijun's low voice came from not far away, she had a trace of real feeling, and the previous memories slowly returned to her mind.
He really worked all the time without a break, and she looked at him worriedly.
He is always so strong, looking at his thin back, her nose suddenly sour, he is her dependence, and who can he rely on?
Fu Zijun heard the movement on the bed and turned around, just met her somewhat moist eyes, and hurriedly said something to the computer, then closed the computer and sat beside her.
"What's wrong? Another nightmare? During the time when she was sick, she had nightmares almost every night, and every time she woke up with tears, his heart ached so much, and now when she woke up and was in love, that worry came up again.
"No, I slept well." She shook her head and pressed her face to his palm, "Are you tired?" ”
"It's fine." Since living with her, many of his concepts have changed, always thinking of being able to spend more time with her, he is no longer the workaholic of the past, and the workload is not stressful for him now. (To be continued......) R1292
