Clearly, apart from Zhao Hui, the other three people have been successfully persuaded by Lin Xiao to come to this small town at the foot of the mountain that they had never heard of before.
Lin Xiao looked at the intense gazes of the crowd and said slowly, "Christmas has just passed, so there won't be any special ceremonies. It's just become an ordinary small town."
"I see~" The three of them sighed almost in unison, their expressions shifting from intense anticipation to deep disappointment.
"Besides, you haven't received your travel documents yet, so you're currently considered 'illegal immigrants' in France."
"We'll get the travel certificate tomorrow morning, so we can set off at noon and arrive before evening!" Xiao Hao said eagerly.
Lin Xiao looked at Xiao Hao and explained, "Although the travel document says it can be used as a passport, I haven't tried it before, so I don't know if I'll encounter any problems using it to buy train tickets and accommodations, such as whether local hotels and inns will accept it."
Many French people have only a very basic level of English, and you don't speak French either. If you encounter any problems, you might have difficulty communicating.
“Then come with us! Then we won’t be afraid of anything!” Wei Changfeng blurted out.
Zhao Hui kicked him under the table. This kid sometimes speaks without thinking. He's not even part of their team, so why should he act with them?
Wei Changfeng felt pain in his foot, but he could only pretend to endure it.
Knowing that Zhao Hui thought he was being too casual, he added, "Can't we just ask Lin Xiao to be our translator? We shouldn't let him help for free; we'll pay him according to the local French wages."
Xiaomin also agreed: "Yes, yes, although the brand's translator is very nice and said to contact her if there's anything, we can't expect her to take us around."
Zhao Hui looked at the people at the table and realized that none of them were on his side, so he had no choice but to say, "Miss Lin is here to study, not to work as a translator. Doesn't she have her own things to do?"
Xiao Hao reacted quickly, ignoring Zhao Hui and asking Lin Xiao directly: "Lin Xiao, French schools also have winter breaks, right? You haven't started school yet, have you? Since you're free anyway, why not take us out to play?"
We're not worried about getting lost, and you'll make money too. Our Brother Zhao is incredibly generous; the company will reimburse you!"
Wei Changfeng glanced at Xiao Hao and thought to himself that this kid was really good. He hadn't expected that Lin Xiao should be on vacation right now, so he had time to accompany them to the police station to report the crime and keep their appointment.
"If the company won't report it, I will!" He patted his chest generously, and Xiao Hao and Xiao Min immediately started clapping exaggeratedly.
Seeing the three people's attitude, Zhao Hui felt embarrassed to spoil everyone's fun any further.
Moreover, if he were to obstruct them further, it would seem as if he were being stingy, having only allowed Lin Xiaobai to act as their translator once at the police station, and then refusing to pay for a translator in the proper manner.
So he asked Lin Xiao if she had time, hoping she could go with them.
So despite Lin Xiao’s repeated emphasis that the town is very ordinary apart from the Christmas ceremonies and that most of the tourists are skiing enthusiasts, it still couldn’t dispel everyone’s desire to go and see it.
The only thing to blame is her excellent descriptive skills.
They had already seen most of the sights in Paris over the past two days, combining work and leisure. On the day of their return, the organizers of the event would also take them to the brand's own castle to select rare wines as gifts to take back, so other castles were not very attractive to them.
Therefore, this fairytale-like ice and snow town is even more charming in the eyes of everyone.
Faced with the enthusiastic invitations from the group of people, Lin Xiao felt a bit pressured, so he said that they would make a decision after everyone had successfully obtained their travel documents the next morning.
Later today, she will go online to find information and photos of the town, and then send them to everyone to see first.
If they are still interested, they can stay overnight to experience it and then return to Paris the next day without delaying their trip back home on Friday.
"Who among you can ski?" Lin Xiao asked.
Zhao Hui and Wei Changfeng said they were both beginners. Wei Changfeng had learned a little when he participated in a variety show before, and there was a coach on site to teach him, but he could only learn the basics in a short time.
On the other hand, Xiao Hao, who comes from Northeast China, had some experience with outdoor sports in school, so his skills were decent. Xiao Min, however, had no interest in such outdoor activities and had never tried them.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow. If anyone still wants to go to town and ski, we can rent equipment. If not, we can just stroll around town. After all, one day isn't a very long time," Lin Xiao concluded.
The lunch and conversation lasted a full three hours.
This time, everyone was able to truly experience the "slow-paced life" in France.
Xiao Hao joked that it's no wonder there are so few fat people among the French; after chewing their food so slowly for so long, their cheeks get tired and they can't eat much.
After lunch, Lin Xiao expressed her gratitude to everyone. Before returning to her accommodation, Zhao Hui added her on WeChat to discuss the trip arrangements for the next day.
Thus, the one-way communication between Lin Xiao and Wei Changfeng was cut off by the agent, and it became communication between Lin Xiao and Zhao Hui.
This was, of course, Zhao Hui’s intention. To avoid any potential “worries,” he was very strict in managing Wei Changfeng’s interpersonal relationships.
Lin Xiao was simple-minded and didn't think of any of this. She simply assumed that Zhao Hui added her as a friend for easier communication.
After seeing Lin Xiao off, Wei Changfeng asked Xiao Hao to accompany him to the gym for a while.
I've been a bit lazy these past couple of days. I ate so much for lunch, so I still need to exercise.
