Comrade Qiao's real name is Qiao Jingrong. He is in his thirties and has been in Paris, France for more than half a year. He is a handsome diplomat who is both reserved and charming.
After Feng Zhiyi and Lu Lingxiao got out of the car, Lu Lingxiao first cautiously looked around at the surroundings before leading Feng Zhiyi over.
"You're here? Please come inside." Qiao Jingrong saw the newspaper in Lu Lingxiao's hand, smiled, and invited them into the house.
After the two men sat down on the sofa, Qiao Jingrong asked them with a smile, "What would you like to drink? Black coffee or tea?"
Lu Lingxiao opened his mouth and said, "Tea."
He really can't stand black coffee.
His wife's space had a lot of coffee, all kinds of coffee, and coffee beans. He tried a few kinds, but he just couldn't get the taste right.
His daughter, Zhizhi, does quite like drinking coffee.
Qiao Jingrong poured them each a cup of tea, then took out two documents and handed them to Lu Lingxiao. "These are the information about the family members of these two experts. Take a look. Also, I will be visiting Mr. Song and Mr. Li's homes in three days. You two will come with me then."
"What time and where should we meet?" Lu Lingxiao asked softly, glancing at the documents as he did so.
Mr. Li's family members are slightly larger, numbering about fifteen or sixteen.
Mr. Song's family situation is simpler, as he and his wife have only one child, plus their daughter-in-law and two grandsons, making a total of six people.
When evacuating, we can arrange for Mr. Song and his family to move first, and then turn around and go to Mr. Li's house, because Mr. Li's family has more people and, needless to say, a lot of things.
After all, these two experts have lived in Paris for over forty years, and their entire families live here. How could they not have acquired a lot of things?
Moreover, Mr. Li and Mr. Song are scientists, so their home must be filled with all sorts of research materials and books.
After reading the information, Feng Zhiyi had similar thoughts to Lu Lingxiao.
First, they moved Mr. Song's family to a safe place and settled them in, and then immediately went to Mr. Li's house to pick up Mr. Li's family.
Once the people are successfully moved, the rest will be much easier.
Once his appearance changes, those foreigners could turn all of Paris upside down and still not find a single trace of him!
"You two come directly to my house at nine o'clock in the morning. I will take you to visit Mr. Song. But you must pay close attention to the route when you get there. Also, there are quite a few people guarding near Mr. Song's house. It's best to find out the number of them before you act."
Qiao Jingrong thought for a moment, then said to them, "After the people are moved out, you should return to China as soon as possible. Do not stay. Only when you return to China and to Beijing will you be truly safe."
Lu Lingxiao nodded. "Okay, I understand. I'll let you know as soon as Zhizhi and I confirm the time of the operation. Also, we'll return to China by sea, not by plane."
Qiao Jingrong readily agreed, indicating that there was no problem.
He might not be able to help much with the rendezvous, but he could certainly help them leave.
The three of them sat on the sofa and chatted for a while before Lu Lingxiao and Feng Zhiyi said goodbye and left Qiao Jingrong's residence.
As they were leaving, Qiao Jingrong kindly reminded them that the security situation here was very chaotic, unlike in China, so they should try not to go too far.
The couple thanked Qiao Jingrong and then drove the BMW to Walmart.
Seeing the familiar sign not far away, Feng Zhiyi hurriedly said to Lu Lingxiao, "Lingxiao, stop for a moment, I'll get some more US dollars."
Walmart is a comprehensive supermarket that offers a wide variety of goods.
Feng Zhiyi plans to buy a lot of things to bring back to China. Anyway, there is enough space to fit all the things she buys. Of course, she will take advantage of this trip abroad to do a big shopping spree!
Because many things are cheaper abroad than in China.
For example, imported watches, clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry, and electrical appliances are all much cheaper than those sold in domestic department stores.
On the contrary, products like fruit are extremely expensive abroad.
A small watermelon costs only a few cents in China, but it costs $4 in Walmart in Paris.
That's the difference!
Lu Lingxiao parked his car on the side of the road and waited for Feng Zhiyi to fill a black bag with US dollars before driving his BMW to Walmart's underground parking lot.
After parking the car, Lu Lingxiao was in charge of carrying the money.
The couple then took the elevator to the nineteenth floor.
Start by exploring the top floor, and then walk down each floor one by one.
As soon as she entered the supermarket, Feng Zhiyi, like a bird released from its cage, kept weaving through the crowd with her basket.
Lu Lingxiao, who was following behind her, shook his head helplessly, but his starry eyes were filled with a doting smile. Luckily, he had long legs and good stamina, otherwise he really couldn't keep up with his wife's speed.
At this moment, she seemed to have completely unleashed her girlish nature, with an extremely strong desire to shop. Boots, leather shoes—as long as they were of good quality, she would buy them.
But the price is really cheap.
A good pair of boots costs only two dollars, but in domestic department stores they would sell for twenty or thirty yuan.
Feng Zhiyi bought forty or fifty pairs of shoes, mainly because there are many people in her family: three children, Lu's parents, grandfather, several godfathers and Jun Zeyi, as well as godfathers and godmothers.
A few pairs per person isn't too many.
Next came clothes, bags, hair clips, toys, and so on, which were quickly thrown into the shopping cart.
Lu Lingxiao went to exchange one empty shopping cart after another, and handed over the shopping carts full of things to the supermarket security guards to push to the checkout counter.
Upon seeing the appliance store, Feng Zhiyi stopped and discussed with Lu Lingxiao, "Lingxiao, shall we buy a few refrigerators to take back with us? We can put one in our family quarters, and after the six-courtyard house is renovated, we can also put one in the courtyard house. We can also keep one as a spare in the Lu family's old house."
As for the villas in Compound No. 2, and the homes of my godparents and several godfathers, we don't need to use those, because their homes are all equipped with refrigerators, televisions, and air conditioners.
They were all provided by the state.
If you already have it at home, there's no need to buy another one.
Lu Lingxiao thought for a moment and said, "Honey, let's not buy any appliances for now. When we get home, let's ask Fourth Brother if he can help us get a batch of appliances, all kinds of appliances. If he can, we'll buy a whole bunch and take them back."
"You mean, buy them back and resell them?" Feng Zhiyi's eyes sparkled as she quickly calculated the profits in her mind.
Buying electrical appliances in China is not only expensive, but also requires an industrial permit.
But these things are incredibly cheap abroad.
A color TV is now about five or six hundred yuan cheaper.
The same goes for watches. Like the Omega she was wearing, it cost 680 yuan when she bought it at the Jiangshi Department Store, and she even had to pay for the watch.
However, at Walmart, an Omega watch only costs $88.
After being converted to RMB, it is 466.4 yuan.
The exchange rate in 1980 was 1:5.3, meaning that 1 US dollar could be exchanged for 5.3 yuan.
What a good deal.
