Seeing him suddenly sit up in bed, Zhao Hui asked, "What's wrong? Did you forget something?"
"No, no, I just remembered something small, nothing." Of course, Wei Changfeng couldn't tell his agent what was on his mind, so he quickly denied it.
Ugh, I'm still a little annoyed. I should have gone downstairs to the restaurant earlier.
No, no, who said that girl would definitely stay at the Ritz? Or that she would definitely eat at the restaurant?
With so many hotels in Paris, how could it be such a coincidence that two people sat next to each other on the plane and even booked the same hotel?
In that case, he should be truly afraid: this behavior is far more likely to be caused by obsessive fans than a low-probability event.
Thinking of this, he suddenly sighed again, though it was unclear what he was sighing about.
Zhao Hui and Xiao Hao watched him from the sofa next to him. Sometimes he seemed to "suddenly sit up in shock while on his deathbed," and other times he would sigh inexplicably, as if he were a lunatic.
Xiao Hao couldn't help but ask, "Brother, are you feeling unwell?"
Wei Changfeng was unaware of his lapse in composure, and when his assistant asked him, he seemed puzzled: "Ah, what's wrong?"
Zhao Hui seemed to have guessed something and comforted him, saying, "Changfeng, don't be nervous. Although this is our first collaboration with this brand, they chose you because they value your abilities. Don't be too anxious."
He thought Wei Changfeng was feeling the pressure of tomorrow's event, after all, it was an international occasion, and he was attending as an Asian ambassador.
He was completely wrong...
Wei Changfeng's trip to Paris lasted a week. His main tasks were to attend brand events, as well as to be photographed and interviewed by three media outlets. They could arrange the rest of their time as they pleased.
According to the agent's original intention, today was for rest and fitting, followed by attending events and photoshoots tomorrow and the day after, leaving plenty of time to relax.
However, due to the time difference, no one was sleepy at all. So after resting for an hour, he, nearing middle age, dragged his tired body and went on a trip with Xiao Hao and the others.
The Louvre is very close, but you'd need a whole day to see it properly. The brand will deliver the clothes in the afternoon, so they only have half a day to wander around outside.
So everyone suggested that they go for a walk along the Seine and "pay homage" to this world-famous river.
After turning on the phone's navigation, Wei Changfeng, with his long arms and legs, walked quickly and led the way. Before long, the group arrived at the banks of the Seine.
The Seine is very wide, with a mighty current; even at its narrowest point, the river is over thirty meters wide.
Almost all of Paris's most famous attractions can be seen along the river, such as Notre Dame Cathedral, the Louvre Museum, the Musée d'Orsay, and the Eiffel Tower.
Parisians say this river is their mother river, and Paris is its daughter. Since the Middle Ages, Paris has developed and been built almost entirely along the Seine.
A river divides the city into two sides; the left bank is home to many cultural figures, while the right bank is the domain of financial talents.
This river has also appeared in the works of Chinese literati and painters many times. Xu Zhimo, Wu Guanzhong, Ba Jin, Qian Zhongshu and others have all lived here.
The Seine is much more desolate in winter than usual, and it's not the best season to visit it.
However, temperatures in Paris rarely drop below zero; even in the coldest winters, the temperature generally stays around five or six degrees Celsius, so the water surface does not freeze.
With the gentle breeze blowing and the boats sailing back and forth, ripples spread across the water, creating a tranquil and gentle atmosphere.
There are many tour boats on the river, some large and some small. The tour boats in Paris have a special name: "fly boats".
These flat-bottomed boats originated in the Lyon region of central France. They are said to have been originally used to transport fresh meat products, and were named for the fact that meat attracts flies.
This type of boat won first prize at the 1867 World's Fair in Paris and was subsequently introduced to Paris.
With the construction of the subway, the fly boat once declined, but with the recovery of tourism after World War II, it ushered in its own spring again.
Although the name of the cruise ship is somewhat unappealing, the ride is actually quite comfortable, and with a long history, it is very popular with tourists from all over the world. Tickets are also inexpensive and can be purchased on-site.
Wei Changfeng and his assistant both seemed eager to take a boat ride. Zhao Hui, who had experienced it before, also chose to join the others on the boat tour.
There were several Asian faces on the cruise ship, but it was unclear what nationality they were. Because they didn't want excessive exposure before the event, they all tacitly remained low-key and quiet.
Wei Changfeng, dressed in a camel-colored cashmere coat and wearing a light brown cashmere scarf, sat in the least conspicuous spot at the stern of the boat.
To allow tourists to enjoy the scenery along the coast as much as possible, the fly boats do not travel very fast.
There are fewer passengers on the ship in winter than in the other three seasons, and most of them are blond and blue-eyed, speaking a variety of languages.
Zhao Hui could only understand that some of the people were speaking English, while others spoke with a trilled "r" sound, which sounded like Italian.
He guessed that Asian tourists might still prefer to visit France during the summer and autumn.
As the boat approached Notre Dame Cathedral, a slight commotion arose among the tourists. The magnificent Gothic building, mostly encased in layers of steel frames, resembled a caged beast, evoking pity in the eyes of onlookers.
This famous historical building, which has existed for over 800 years, is world-renowned because of Victor Hugo's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame".
However, it was almost destroyed by a fire in 2019, and the restoration work is still ongoing.
Sitting on the boat and seeing its current state, Wei Changfeng couldn't help but sigh with regret.
"It seems like it caught fire a few years ago, how come it's still not fixed?"
