After determining those options, Wang Wenwu and Shu Jinxi went to check it out together, and exchanged three thousand francs on the way, which was used as Shu Jinxi's living expenses in France. It had only been a few years since the war ended in France, the economy had not improved for a while, and the franc had depreciated. In terms of currency value, now

One Chinese silver dollar can be exchanged for more than eleven francs.

France was experiencing economic difficulties after the war, and a large number of young French soldiers were demobilized. It was common to see down-and-out young men in military uniforms on the streets. At first, they thought about work-study programs, but later they discovered that it was not easy for work-study students to find jobs. Factory owners were more willing to find local jobs.

Young man, unless you are a work-study student, you will need very little wages, but you will not be able to support yourself.

Neither Wang Wenwu nor Shu Jinxi were very satisfied. Only a few days later, they found a beautiful house with rooms for rent in the suburbs. The landlord was an army officer's widow with a daughter to be married, so they rented out the best room in the house at a high price.

To subsidize life. After negotiating the price,

Because Shu Jinxi didn't know how many years he would study, Wang Wenwu paid the rent for two years and mailed the rest.

When they moved here, the landlord even invited him to have a meal with him. After staying for a few days, Wang Wenwu decided that the landlord was a nice person and there was nothing to worry about, so he decided to go about his own business.

After bidding farewell to Shu Jinxi, he took out a letter and asked Wang Wenwu to bring it to Sun Muen in Paris. Originally, Wang Wenwu had no intention of going to Paris. He went directly to the front lines of the European War to see if there were any leftover supplies that no one wanted.

, because of this letter, I had to go to Paris to find Sun Muen first.

When Wang Wenwu arrived at HEC Paris, he only knew that Sun Muen had registered, but he still didn't know where Sun Muen was, so he had to use the stupid method that the RB people used in Shanghai to search for him in various high-end hotels one by one.

But maybe Wang Wenwu was lucky. When he was looking for the third hotel next to a square, he found it. If it weren't for the local taxi driver, Wang Wenwu would never have found this hotel. The hotel's appearance looks very restrained.

, a Baroque palace-style building that can be seen everywhere in Europe, is only five stories high, the facade is also very low-key, about three or four meters wide, and there is no eye-catching signboard at the door.

When the taxi stopped at the door just now, if Wang Wenwu hadn't been reminded by the driver, he wouldn't have noticed the word "Ritz" on the window awning, and he wouldn't have known that this was a hotel.

After the front desk confirmed that he knew Sun Muen, someone showed him the way. After the waiter knocked on the door, it was Butler Li who opened the door. Being able to meet someone he knew in a foreign country, Butler Li shook hands with Wang Wenwu happily.

"The lady is waiting for you inside, please come with me!"

Wang Wenwu nodded.

The carpets in the guest rooms are of the highest quality, and are thick and soft enough to bury your toes. The fireplace is in the style of the Napoleonic era, and the mahogany chairs, beds, and wardrobes are all in the style of the Louis XVI era; the coffee table and dressing table are all in the style of the Louis XVI era.

The vases placed there are treasures. And the aroma you smell when you enter the door is different in the room.

Sun Muen was reading the newspaper when he saw Wang Wenwu coming in. He stood up and greeted him: "I just sent a letter to Lyon yesterday. I didn't expect you to arrive today!"

"It's a pity that it's not Jin Xilai, that's all."

"You are joking. Although I have only arrived in France not long ago, I now feel that I have no friends and an unfamiliar place."

When Wang Wenwu saw that Sun Muen was still feeling emotional, he quickly interrupted: "Okay, okay, this is Jinxi's letter. If it weren't for this letter, I wouldn't have come to Paris!" He took out the letter written by Shu Jinxi and handed it over.

To Sun Muen.

Sun Muen quickly took it and opened it, reading the letter at a glance.

After reading it, he said: "So, Jinxi has settled down!"

Wang Wenwu nodded and said, "Well, I looked for a lot of places and finally found a good landlord."

Sun Muen said with emotion: "It's Jinxi's fate that he found a suitable place to stay so quickly. Uncle Li, look at all the people we met!"

Wang Wenwu curiously asked Butler Li: "Butler Li, what's going on?"

"Mr. Wang, don't ask, they are all unhappy things!"

"Okay, okay, I won't ask. I plan to go to Germany to see if there are any suitable goods to be shipped back to China. But before I leave, I will go to Lyon. Is there anything you want me to bring to Jinxi?"

"when are you leaving?"

"Now that the letter has been delivered, I'll leave tomorrow."

"Don't you want to stay for two days?"

"No, finish things here as soon as possible so that I can return home early!"

"Okay, have you found a place? If you're not in a hurry, have a meal with me before leaving!"

"Let's just find a hotel to stay in then. I'll come over tomorrow. We'll have dinner together before I leave!"

Seeing Wang Wenwu about to leave, Sun Muen said: "Well, I want Uncle Li to help you sell tickets! It will save you some trouble!"

"It's better not to bother Butler Li, I'll do it myself!"

Butler Li said: "Mr. Wang, although I don't know French, I have brought a translator, so I can go with the translator."

"I'd better not bother you to make a trip. Miss Sun's French is not good. If the translator leaves, I think there will be a lot of inconvenience. I'll do it myself!"

When Butler Li heard this, he looked at Sun Muen. Sun Muen really felt that communicating with people now relied on translation. It would be inconvenient if something happened if he went out for a while. He said, "In this case, I won't force it. The food here is quite good.

, let’s try it together later!”

"Thank you very much, Miss Sun."

The two chatted for a while. Sun Muen talked about a lot of the setbacks he had encountered in Paris. Wang Wenwu wanted to encourage him, but Sun Muen quickly adjusted himself.

Butler Li said next to Sun Muen: "Miss, Mr. Wang, you can take a seat."

When it was ready, uniformed waiters came in pushing a dining cart with exquisite dishes. The beige tablecloth, shiny bells, silver tableware and fine porcelain tableware. Although I didn't know how it tasted, it looked very simple.

.

After the meal, Wang Wenwu said goodbye and left, and found a mid-range hotel nearby. However, the hotel owner thought that Wang Wenwu was from RB. However, after learning that he was Chinese, he curiously asked: "Votre fran?ais, ment est-

"il si bon, vous êtes le seul chinois que j'ai jamais vu." [How come your French is so good? You are the only Chinese person I have ever seen who can speak French.]

Wang Wenwu asked curiously: "Avez-vous vu ces chinois?" [Have you seen those Chinese people?]

"Quand il y a une guerre, il y a beaucoup de chinois, maintenant, il y en a beaucoup, mais ils ne parleront pas français." [During the war, there were many Chinese, and there are many now, but they don't know how.

French.]

Wang Wenwu knew that the hotel owner was talking about the workers sent by Premier Duan when he was in power. Through conversations with the boss, he learned that the French people had a very friendly attitude towards these workers, and they admired and praised the Chinese people for their hard-working character.

Especially French women, compared to French men, they believe that Chinese workers are not only down-to-earth and capable, but also kind-hearted, helpful, and more responsible and loving. Many French women believe that such Chinese men are their best partners.
