Chapter 1006: Cultural Relics of the Old Summer Palace
Boarding, take-off, landing.
The trio arrived at Charles de Gaulle International Airport.
Chen Wen led the way, walked out of the arrival hall, came to the parking lot to find the sedan, and happily returned to Versailles.
Entering the shared house, Masako Nakamura greeted her with cheers, gave Chen Wen a hug, and hugged the Xie sisters again.
"There's a record of your phone call on the coffee table. Masako hugged her twin sisters, turned her head and shouted at Chen Wen.
The three girls were chattering, Xie Tiantian was hungry, and they went to the kitchen together.
Chen Wen sat on the sofa and picked up the notebook
The long list gave him a small startle, a total of 8 records of his missed calls.
The biggest one, Chen's mother called last night, and Masako told her that Chen Wen had gone out with a few classmates.
Chen Wen is not in a hurry to call his mother, and his mother will find another time to call when she goes back, anyway, the telephone of the Huaxia aid construction site headquarters is specially for the engineers to call their families.
Yesterday and Saturday, Zhou Tong, Zhang Wanting, Zhang Yuan, Cui Xishan, and Han Cunshui called.
Chen Wen pondered for a moment, and the purpose of these five people was basically easier to imagine.
Zhou Tong has long figured out the details of the two Chinese female students, and they can generally enjoy it when they are cheap. Last time, under his leadership, Chen Wen enjoyed the daughter of a corrupt/official.
There is also a girl on Zhou Tong's side, Chen Wen didn't bother to try it last time, and vaguely remembered that Zhou Tong said that she was the daughter of a bankrupt businessman. Chen Wen estimated that this should be the case, and he was quite satisfied with Zhou Tong's activities and social efforts.
Zhang Wanting, Zhang Yuan and Cui Xishan, Chen Wen guessed that he should want to ask him to have dinner or something, there is no need to worry about this matter at all, these girls are studying abroad honestly and can't run.
Han Cunshui, Chen Wen estimated that it might be that the two Southeast Asian brothers wanted to get together with him, and the brothers were always very happy together, complaining about the little devil together, and chatting about the little girl together.
During the day today, two people called Chen Wen. One is Jessica, Chen Wenchai, the great-granddaughter of this cultural relics thief may have helped him find good antiques.
Another missed call made Chen Wen a little baffled, it was actually from Ma Liang.
On August 28, Chen Wen flew to Paris, and the local team received Chen Wen, accompanied him to Brussels, and took Chen Wen to complete the registration and housing search for the University of Versailles. A few days later, Chen Wen asked Ma Liang to take him to the airport to pick up Wang Qiao, but his hot face was attached to someone's cool buttocks.
After the registration season, Mark Liang went to the south of France to work as a fruit picker, and he introduced another member of the ground picking team, Liszt, to Chen
Wen, Chen Wen and Ma Liang have no contact since then.
Chen Wen felt a little strange, he and Ma Liang were not particularly familiar.
According to the life experience accumulated in the two lives, this kind of so-called old friend who is not very familiar with you and suddenly finds you will often have more troublesome things. As for whether the matter is troublesome to him or to you, it is difficult to say.
7 friends' calls, Chen Wen lined up in order, first replied to Jessica related to money, then called back to his good buddies, then called back to three girls with a little ambiguous future, and finally asked Mark Liang what he was doing.
The first call was made to Jessica.
The great-granddaughter of the antiquities thief told Chen Wen: "A friend of mine, oh, I should actually say that it is a friend of Monty, wants to sell a very valuable antique. ”
Monty Modwell is Jessica's boyfriend, one of the young masters of the Chanel backstage holding family.
Chen Wen asked: "What kind of antique is it, what is its name, how valuable is it, how valuable is it?"
Jessica said: "Monty doesn't know what it is, his friend only said that it is an antique from the Old Summer Palace, your royal garden. ”
Chen Wen was suddenly shocked in his heart, there were too many good things in the Old Summer Palace that were taken away by the Eight-Nation Alliance!
Jessica continued: "Monty's friend said that other similar items of that thing had been sold for a million dollars a few years ago. Now, Monty's friend has been having trouble with his business lately, and he is desperate for money and wants to sell the collection. ”
Chen Wen scolded the Eight-Nation Alliance for being shameless in his heart, scolded a few more words of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's corruption and incompetence, calmed down and asked: "Jessica, you called me, you should be optimistic that I can afford this antiquity of our Huaxia, right?"
Jessica laughed, "Of course, Monty and I are very optimistic about you. When you have time, preferably in the last few days, I'll take you to meet that friend, and you can meet in person. I'll accompany you to him. ”
Of course, Chen Wen understood the intention of Jessica's last sentence, and said with a smile: "There is no problem with this, you are the introducer, and you must accompany me on the spot." If you can close the deal, I am willing to pay you a commission in accordance with the industry rules. ”
Jessica smiled seductively: "Very good, dear rich man of Huaxia, I like to deal with rich people like you." ”
Chen Wen thought to himself: Lao Tzu is also happy to deal with you, the great-granddaughter of the cultural relics thief, and Lao Tzu still wants to deal with you well!
Chen Wen said: "Tomorrow I have classes in the morning and afternoon, and I only have the first big class in the morning on Tuesday, so I hope you can accompany me to see the goods on Tuesday afternoon." ”
Jessica said seductively, "Okay, Tuesday morning after the second big class, you come to my classroom to pick me up." ”
Putting down Jessica's phone, Chen Wen dialed Han Cunshui's number.
Not surprisingly, Han Cunshui and Zhou Wenchang wanted to ask Chen Wen to get together. Chen Wen explained that he went to Portugal for two days. The brothers meet up and meet again the following weekend.
Subsequently, Chen Wen called Zhou Tong. Unexpectedly, Zhou Tong introduced female international students to Chen Wen, and this social expert met many girls.
Zhou Tong said: "Next Friday, on the 13th, there is a dance party here in our apartment, buddy, if you can come to participate, you can definitely bring up the level of the dance." Let me tell you, there are a few beautiful girls. I didn't tell Zhang Wanting, lest she and Song Qinyao also come to join in the fun, then it would be boring. ”
Chen Wen said: "I don't have any other arrangements for the time being, so I said it in advance." Hey, by the way, shouldn't we visit Zhang Wanting and Song Qinyao on Friday?"
Zhou Tong said: "That...... Let's go see them first, have a meal, and then we'll leave?"
Chen Wen said: "Okay, I'll call Zhang Wanting and the others in a while." The old rule, you come to the door empty-handed, and I'll bring something over. ”
Zhou Tong exclaimed: "Chen Wen, good brother, be a good person! Don't talk about girls, I am also willing to make a good friend like you!"
Putting down Zhou Tong's phone, Chen Wen dialed Zhang Wanting's apartment number.
Zhang Wanting and Song Qinyao had just returned home from work, and Chen Wen could hear the sound of exhaustion and panting in the earpiece.
Chen Wen said: "You have worked hard, are you okay lately? I went to Lisbon for two days, and when I got home, I didn't eat yet, so I was worried about calling you back." ”
Zhang Wanting said: "Qin Yao and I are very good, and there is nothing else. Hey, that's the one, I suddenly wanted to talk to you yesterday, and I wanted to ask you to have lunch at noon today. ”
Chen Wen asked, "Is there a hurry? If you're in a hurry, I'll drive over now." ”
Zhang Wanting said: "Don't worry, don't worry! Oh, it's ...... That one...... Li He and I have been writing back and forth two times recently, and we are very unhappy and want to talk to you. ”
Chen Wen understood that Zhang Wanting and her boyfriend had a quarrel, and they quarreled by transatlantic letters. Chen Wen thought this thing was really interesting, and he pasted a stamp of more than a dozen yuan and traveled across the ocean for ten days to send a one-way letter just to send a letter that he quarreled with the object.
However, Chen Wen can also understand that in 1992, the means of communication were too underdeveloped, and not everyone could be as wealthy as him, and it was really not possible for most people to afford to make transatlantic phone calls. Answering the phone in China is a very troublesome matter, and you have to go to the post and telecommunications bureau to go through the formalities, and most ordinary telephones do not have this permission.
Zhang Wanting and Li He had an awkward quarrel and wanted to chat with Chen Wen, which means that Zhang Wanting didn't want to talk to Song Qinyao about it, or they talked about it but Zhang Wanting was not satisfied.
