As soon as Xiao Ran and the others got out of the car, a few French guys in suits and leather shoes came up to them.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Sean, welcome to Paris. Nice to see you again. I hope you like Paris."
A guy wearing a red armband said with a smile, and came up to bump elbows with Xiao Ran.
This guy is a senior police officer in the art crime department of the French police. He has been to Philadelphia in the United States before and dealt with Xiao Ran, so he knows him.
However, the French did not take any advantage during that trip to Philadelphia, and several major museums in France were severely slaughtered by Xiao Ran.
Such a result made this guy feel unwilling all the time.
While bumping elbows with each other, Xiao Ran also said hello politely.
"Good afternoon, François, it's nice to see you again, you seem to be in good condition."
"We just arrived in Paris, and I didn't expect you to come to the hotel to wait for me. It seems that you are very well-informed!"
Hearing this, Francois' old face couldn't help but blush.
But it returned to normal in an instant, and then began to introduce several other French guys.
Without exception, the other French guys are all from French government departments.
Including the deputy mayor of Paris in charge of culture and art, an official from the French Ministry of Culture, etc.
During this period, Pierre and Caroline also came forward, got to know these guys and said hello.
Elaine, standing next to Xiao Ran, acted as a translator.
After everyone got to know each other and exchanged polite greetings, the deputy mayor of Paris suddenly said:
"Mr. Sean, the current situation is very special and severe. Considering that you are all from the United States, and the epidemic in the United States is relatively serious."
"Due to the need for epidemic prevention and control, we require that you must be quarantined in the hotel for at least seven days, and you cannot leave the hotel during this period."
"After seven days, it is confirmed that there are no problems and everyone's nucleic acid results are negative, and then you can move freely in Paris."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but pause, somewhat surprised.
However, he figured it out in a blink of an eye.
Obviously, this is the French who is stumbling upon themselves!
Epidemic prevention and control is just a cover, but it is a good excuse that is difficult to refute.
David, Pierre and Caroline, who were standing aside, also figured this out in the blink of an eye.
The next moment, Pierre took a step forward, squeezing his neck to argue with the deputy mayor of Paris.
David is also prepared to fight hard to prevent everyone from being locked up in the hotel for seven days.
However, Xiao Ran stretched out his hand to stop them.
Then, he looked at the deputy mayor of Paris for culture and said:
"Mr. Carlin, are you sure you want us to be quarantined in the hotel for seven days before we can move around freely?"
"Before setting off from Los Angeles, we sent the nucleic acid test reports of all members to the relevant departments in Paris."
"All of us who came to Paris this time have negative nucleic acid reports and have been tested more than once."
"According to the relevant agreements reached between the United States and the European Union, nucleic acid reports from both sides are common. There is no doubt about this."
"From this point of view, there seems to be no reason for you to require that we have to quarantine in hotels for seven days and restrict our movements."
After finishing his words, the deputy mayor of Paris' culture couldn't help but blush a little.
After a moment of pause, this guy said:
"Mr. Sean, as I said just now, this is a special period and special situations require special treatment. Please understand."
"The United States and the European Union have indeed reached relevant agreements, but the implementation in each EU country is another matter."
"There are many of you coming to France this time. For safety reasons, we have made a request to ask you to quarantine in the hotel for a week."
"A week is very short, and the scenery here is also very good. I believe you will soon get over the quarantine period and move freely."
Before she finished speaking, and before Xiao Ran could respond, Caroline had already cursed.
"What a bunch of bastards! Since Sean and the others are asked to quarantine in a hotel for seven days, why don't you take any protective measures and come here to meet Sean and have close contact with him?"
"In this way, since each of you is in close contact, do you also need to be quarantined for seven days to avoid spreading the epidemic?"
"ah!"
Several French officials exclaimed in surprise, their faces turned red instantly, and their expressions were quite embarrassing.
Elaine snickered and gave Caroline a thumbs-up backhand.
She knows very well how powerful this leftist mother is in fighting.
Caroline is a veteran who often organizes strikes and school strikes. The matter in front of her is nothing more than child's play.
Xiao Ran looked back at Caroline, then smiled and said:
"It's okay, Caroline, since the Paris city government requires us to quarantine for seven days, then we will quarantine in the hotel."
"Everyone can take a break during these seven days. It is also a good enjoyment to stand upstairs and enjoy the scenery of the Seine River."
"Mr. Carlin is right. The seven days will pass soon. Then we can go out and move around freely and experience the style of Paris."
Hearing what he said, Pierre and Caroline couldn't say anything more and could only nod.
Afterwards, Xiao Ran said hello to several French officials, and then led everyone into the hotel door.
In order to prevent Pierre and Caroline from being locked up in the hotel, Xiao Ran did not let them follow him, but asked them to go back to their respective homes.
In a moment, everyone had entered the five-star hotel and began their seven-day quarantine life.
After watching Xiao Ran and the others enter the hotel, Pierre and Caroline left the place together and went back to their respective homes.
As soon as they left, Francois asked in a low voice:
"Karin, is it really appropriate to use quarantine as an excuse to lock Sean in a hotel for seven days?"
"Don't even think about it. Once the seven-day quarantine period is over, this guy Sean will definitely launch a crazy revenge."
"By then, the Paris antique art market will probably face an unprecedented catastrophe and be robbed crazily by this guy."
Karin turned to look at him and said helplessly:
"If Sean is not allowed to quarantine in a hotel for seven days, do you think he will let go of the Paris antique art market? It's impossible! Don't forget what happened in Japan."
"The result is the same anyway, so why don't I try to get seven days to make preparations? I can do a lot of things in seven days."
"I am going to have people notify all antique shops and galleries in places such as Montmartre and Saint-Ouin, so that they can carefully sort out the items in their stores."
"In addition, I am planning to organize a group of top appraisal experts to use these few days to scan several major antique art markets to reduce losses as much as possible!"
"Ah! Can it still be done like this?"
Francois exclaimed and was stunned.
Carlin shook his head indifferently.
"Of course, I am not a professional in the field of antique art collection, but an official."
"Some of the rules in this industry don't apply to me, and I don't care!"
After saying that, the guy walked towards the vehicle parked on the side of the road.
Francois and the others shook their heads helplessly and followed immediately.
Just as they got in the car and left, Xiao Ran was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window of the presidential suite, looking down at these French guys.
Since you are shameless, don't blame me for being ruthless!
