Chapter 152: The Seven Sins (7)
Located not far from the foot of the Acropolis Hill, the streets of this old town are the most Greek and cultural streets of Athens, and one of the most vibrant streets in the city.
At the heart of Plaka is an Orthodox church, even though it's midnight. There are still tourists lingering, Cheng Mo just glanced at the quaint stone Orthodox church, and then quickly entered the main street, there are no vehicles in the narrow road, and the small stone-paved road is lined with small Greek-style shops one by one. Just a few steps away is a restaurant, café and bar, and the smell of coffee fills the streets.
Cheng Mo cautiously watched whether anyone was following him, and walked towards the bar street in the sparse flow of people, past the shop street selling tourist souvenirs, and when he arrived at the bar street, the flow of people became dense, the sound of music and human voices intertwined became very noisy, the old walls were plastered with performance posters, the closed coffee shop shutters were full of graffiti, the street was full of chairs and coffee tables, and the blonde and blue-eyed white people occupied the long street all day.
Cheng Mo swam like a fish through the crowded old streets full of perfume and alcohol, and found the bar that seemed to have the most people in the most prosperous place and walked in. He squeezed to the bar and ordered a beer, and then took the beer through the bar from the back door to the back alley, which was also a commercial street, but most of it was closed, and there was no one, only a few couples of men and women making out in the dim light.
Cheng Mo took a sip of beer, continued to walk forward as if nothing happened, and cautiously saw that no one followed him out, when he was sure that no one was following, he put the beer on the side of the road, and entered a bar called "Chalk" through the back door, he bought a bottle of beer again, sat by the window and waited for twenty minutes, and then left through the main entrance.
Although the probability of being followed was already very low, Cheng Mo still took the trouble to do this several times, passing through several bars before walking to a place called "Adam Hotel" and hailing a taxi and heading straight to the "Royal Olympic Hotel".
The Royal Olympic Hotel is located in front of the Temple of Olympian Zeus and closer to the Acropolis than the Emparicon Hotel under the Tai Chi Dragon, and this five-star hotel is significantly larger and much taller than the Emparicon Hotel. There is no doubt that in Room 1710, where Ayala lives, a telescope can be set up to clearly observe the entire Emparicon Hotel.
The taxi driver parked the car in front of the gate of the Ottoman Palace, and the doorman in a black tweed coat opened the door for Cheng Mo, Cheng Mo said thank you, and casually stuffed a tip of ten euros, and the doorman hurriedly took it, and respectfully asked Cheng Mo if he had any luggage. Cheng Mo shook his head and said "no", and walked straight towards the revolving door, and the doorman watched Cheng Mo enter the golden hall with some regret.
There is a marble statue of Zeus in the hall, and Greek mythology is carved on the marble floor, Cheng Mo walked to the front desk, in the front desk on his left is a Greek girl who looks quite cute, and in the front desk in front of him on the right stands a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hooked nose, Cheng Mo did not hesitate to choose the Mediterranean Sea in front of the right, and when he just approached, he heard the Mediterranean Sea ask in English: "What can help you?"
Cheng Mo took out Lin Zhinuo's passport from the inner pocket of his leather jacket and said, "I need a room now." ”
Mediterranean smiled and said, "I'm sorry, sir, we're full now." ”
Cheng Mo had checked Booking before he came, of course, he knew that there would be no room in this hotel for a few days, but most of the things in this world could be solved with money, so Cheng Mo asked as if he was completely unaware: "What about the executive suite?"
Mediterranean's face once again flashed with a professional smile and said, "I'm sorry, there are no executive suites either." ”
"What about tomorrow? Will there be a room tomorrow?" Cheng Mo leaned on the counter with one hand, knocked on the counter with the other hand with his passport, and the thousand-euro note in the passport shook twice in the air.
He looked down at the euro and shook his head and said, "Sorry, there won't be rooms for the next week, maybe you'll have to check out other hotels nearby." ”
"This is really terrible!" Cheng Mo raised his forehead, showing distress, and then he put down his hand, frowning as if hesitant and unwilling, and whispered to Mediterranean: "Sir, I want to ask you for a favor." ”
"You said that if there is anything you can do to help, I'm happy to help. ”
Cheng Mo said with a painful face: "To tell you the truth, I came to Greece to chase my wife, she is a model, named Ayala, she quarreled with me and left the house, saying that she wanted to go out alone to relax..... However, her friend told me that she came to Greece with another man and stayed in room 1710 of your hotel....." Cheng Mo lowered his head, took off his sunglasses and wiped the tears in his eyes, before putting on his sunglasses again, and said in a faint crying tone: "I don't know if you can understand this mood, it's too heartbreaking, I can't bear it at all, so I rushed over to see if she lives with other men." ”
Mediterranean shook his head and said with a sympathetic face: "Sir, it is inevitable to encounter misfortune in life, but don't cry, there is no scar that time cannot heal!"
Cheng Mo raised his head, looked at the Mediterranean Sea and said, "So please help me, help me get a room next to room 1710, and I will repay you." Saying that, Cheng Mo pushed the passport with a thousand euros in front of the Mediterranean.
"Oh, sir, I really can't do anything about this..... Mediterranean looked down at Cheng Mo's passport, raised his hands in front of his chest and waved slightly.
Cheng Mo pleaded softly: "This is related to the happiness of my life, I married her in Huaxia, according to our Huaxia regulations, if I get evidence of her cheating, she won't be able to share too much property...... So please help me, I can't let this cheating woman take away tens of millions of dollars from me for no reason!"
Hearing tens of millions of dollars, Mediterranean's expression froze for a moment, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, rolled his Adam's apple silently, and whispered: "Sir, I sympathize with you very much, but I ......"
Cheng Mo hurriedly interrupted the Mediterranean Sea and said in a low voice: "Don't worry! I won't embarrass you, you check the sides of her room to see if there are any guests who are about to check out, I will compensate them for double or even triple the room rate, of course, I won't treat you badly.... It's just a tip here....." Cheng Mo raised his hand and tapped his passport slightly with a thousand euros.
Mediterranean looked at Cheng Mo's passport, tangled for a moment, and then said in a hurry: "That..... Please wait a minute, sir..... I'll take a look at ...... for you."
Mediterranean picked up the mouse and inquired for a while before whispering to Cheng Mo: "Sir, your luck is really good, the guests in room 1711 will check out tomorrow, and the guests who will stay next, I can try to inform them that the room needs to be repaired, and ask them to change to another hotel to live, so that you can save a lot of money." ”
Cheng Mo asked with a grateful face, "My name is Zeno, what do you call me?"
"You can call me Creitas. Mediterranean said respectfully.
"Yes, Mr. Cretas, I don't mind whatever method you use tomorrow, but in all I will pay you three times the room rate, and I will tip you twenty thousand euros when it is done. Cheng Mo took another 1,500 euros out of his pocket, put it on top of his passport, and pushed the passport with a total of 2,500 euros forward a little again, "Here is the deposit, my passport is also thrown here with you, tomorrow you take my passport and directly help open the room." ”
Hearing Cheng Mo's words, Mediterranean Creetas couldn't help but tremble, the two thousand five hundred euros in front of him attracted his attention like a magnet, although Greece looks quite rich, but the actual situation is not so, the average salary in Athens is more than 700 euros, as a hotel receptionist, he chooses to work night shifts in order to earn more, even so he is only more than nine hundred euros a month, one thousand euros, just this money to support his wife and three children, in terms of Athenian consumption, it can be said that it is quite tight.
At the moment, as long as he helps this Chinese man with a little help, he can easily earn 200,000 euros or more, which makes Mediterranean Crettas have to be excited, so even if he loses his job, it doesn't matter if he changes his job again. Thinking so in his heart, he didn't dare to look around, quickly received the money and passport under the counter, and said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Zeno, I will arrange the room for you, and you can come and check in after three o'clock tomorrow afternoon....."
Cheng Mo stretched out his hand to Kretas and said sincerely, "Mr. Kretas, thank you very much for your help. Cheng Mo grabbed Kretas's hand and shook it and whispered: "Please give me a contact information, I will invite you to dinner tomorrow, and by the way, I will give you some tips." ”
Kretas let go of his hand, lowered his head and wrote a phone number, tore the note to Cheng Mo and said, "You can just call this tomorrow." ”
Cheng Mo said "OK", and then explained: "Please be sure to keep my passport, and don't let my wife know that I have been here, if others have doubts, you can say that I am a photography enthusiast." ”
"Yes, Mr. Zeno. ”
Cheng Mo patted Creitas on the shoulder, leaned close to him and said, "By the way, please help me check which guests are staying in your hotel at the same time as my wife, especially those who are staying in rooms near her." ”
Cretas nodded.
Cheng Mo waved his hand and said, "Then we'll see you tomorrow, Mr. Cretas." ”
