Lin Xiao quickly declined Wang Wei's offer, suggesting that Wei Changfeng join a domestic tour group to visit Paris. Given his current fame, he would likely become the center of attention for all the elderly people on the bus as soon as he got on, causing chaos throughout the group.
Lin Xiao politely declined Wang Handong's suggestion that his driver take them sightseeing. She said that she was already very grateful for the car he had lent her, and it would be too shameless to ask him to provide someone to accompany them as well.
They agreed that Lin Xiao would pick up the car from Wang's house the next morning. Wang Wei's parents were also eager to meet the girl and said they would treat her to a nice meal when she returned from her trip with her friends.
Lin Xiao felt the timing was perfect. Wei Changfeng and the others were also going to the embassy to pick up their travel documents in the morning, and she would meet up with them after picking up her car.
The next day, when Lin Xiao arrived at the Wang family's house at the agreed time, Wang Wei had already gone to lead a tour group, but his parents were there.
Mr. Wang said he would explain the car's features to Lin Xiao when she picked it up, and he would only feel at ease after seeing her drive it away safely.
Wang Wei's mother, while praising Lin Xiao for her beauty, busied herself cutting fruit and making coffee for her.
Wang Handong explained to Lin Xiao the basic precautions for driving in France. In fact, it is roughly the same as in China, and unlike in the UK, the driver's seat is on the right. Driving in France is the opposite of China, which can feel very awkward.
The only thing to be careful about when driving in France is that pedestrians have absolute priority. Even if there are no traffic lights, you must stop and let pedestrians cross the road first.
Lin Xiao listened attentively to Mr. Wang's introduction, while Mrs. Wang kept trying to talk to her, asking if she had eaten breakfast and if not, to eat at home.
Lin Xiao said that they had already eaten, and Wang's mother complained that her son and husband were incompetent, saying that they should have invited Lin Xiao over earlier so that everyone could have a meal and chat together, which would have been more lively.
Lin Xiao felt a little embarrassed by Wang's mother's excessive enthusiasm, but she was deeply grateful for her kindness.
Before coming, she had already checked the basic prices of different car rental models in France online and brought enough cash.
However, anticipating that Wang Wei's parents might refuse, she also brought a gift of equal value.
After Lin Xiao drove away, Wang's mother kept praising the beautiful, gentle, quiet, and well-mannered girl, asking her husband for his opinion as she did so.
Mr. Wang responded with a smile: "Putting everything else aside, just considering Lin Haitao's assets in China, this girl is worth pursuing! I just don't know if our son has the ability."
Wang Wei's mother glared at her husband and said with dissatisfaction, "Money, money, money, all you care about is money! I only chose this girl because she is well-educated, polite, and beautiful. I'm not as obsessed with money as you are!"
Wang Handong laughed: "So what if you're obsessed with money? Without my hard work, how could you and your daughter have such a comfortable life?"
"If we really become in-laws with the Lin family, my company's business will be more stable, and Lin Haitao's business in Europe will also benefit. This is a powerful alliance, a win-win situation!"
After Lin Xiao retrieved the car, he contacted Zhao Hui, and Zhao Hui and his team successfully obtained the blue travel document booklet from the embassy.
She told everyone to wait at the embassy while she went to meet them.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Hui couldn't help but praise her: "Lin Xiao looks young, but she is very independent in everything she does and takes good care of others. She doesn't seem like a pampered girl from a wealthy family at all."
“Exactly, he even came to study abroad alone! Every year during the start of the school year, I see those interviews with universities sending off new students, and it’s always a family sending their child to school, and that’s just across a province. This guy is going across the country.” Xiao Hao agreed.
"Is Lin Xiao's family very rich?" Xiao Min asked, a little curious after hearing Zhao Hui's question.
Zhao Hui nodded: "Didn't you see her demeanor when we treated her to dinner yesterday? She was very familiar with Western dining etiquette, and it was very natural for her. We even had the company teach her again before she went abroad, just in case she seemed a bit inexperienced."
“Yes, and you heard her say that her whole family came to France more than ten years ago and stayed for more than half a month, traveling from south to north. You have to be rich and have plenty of free time to do that,” Xiao Hao added.
Zhao Hui glanced at Wei Changfeng and said with a smile, "Changfeng thought she was a poor student studying abroad and said he wanted to hire her as a translator according to French salary standards. I think that girl would definitely not care about such a small amount of money."
Wei Changfeng recalled that when the waiter brought Lin Xiao her coat at the end of lunch yesterday, he inadvertently glanced at the understated logo on the inside of her coat. It was a brand that a luxury goods editor had previously explained to him, a brand favored by the "old money class".
"Many nouveau riche bosses in China only like big logos, the bigger and shinier the better. If you tell them about brands that are only used by the old money class in Europe, they've never even heard of them."
"Because these brands don't bother advertising in magazines; they're not part of the same circle, so they won't include you."
The editor shrugged as he spoke, his voice tinged with regret: "That's why our magazine can't get any sponsorships from these brands."
