The fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Milan, Malpensa International Airport lobby.
Dong Qiangqiang and Lei Lanting stood guard at the exit, staring intently at the tourists of different skin colors, tall, short, fat and thin, who were walking out one after another from the automatic door.
"I see on the big screen at the airport that the plane has landed for more than thirty minutes." Lei Lanting paced back and forth at the iron railing outside the automatic door at the checkpoint, looking up at the automatic door from time to time, looking impatient, "But this Why haven't the helpers come out? You said nothing would happen to them, right? What you said before has come true now, right? We don't even have a chance to collect the passports. How about I take this now? The group has withdrawn?"
"Quit the group now?" Dong Qiangqiang asked, "Do you still need the deposit? It's 10,000 euros."
"Hey, it's so annoying!" Lei Lanting was so depressed that he gnashed his teeth, "This travel agency is really shady. If I had known that the deposit was so high and the salary was so low, I wouldn't have accepted anything. Do they just let us work for tips? What a grandson."
"Du Lan said that the reputation of the travel agency that introduced you to the tour group and the quality of each group tour are not good. All the tours it accepts are domestic scattered tour groups. The quality of tourists varies, so few people take its business here. You know Domestic travel agencies usually have to pay a guarantee fee of 3,000 euros per person to the relevant agencies for these people traveling abroad. If the tourists disappear midway, the guarantee fee for the travel society will be confiscated. Of course, travel agencies are not willing to take this risk, so if If the person is lost in your hands, then the travel agency will not give out any of the money, and you, the tour guide, will definitely take the blame. So when they come out later, we will collect their passports first, and then count the number of people. Try to remember everyone's name. Every time we get on or off the bus, our two cars must pass each other once to make sure everything is safe, do you understand?"
"No wonder the travel agency asked me for so much money," Lei Lanting suddenly realized, "It turned out to be because they were afraid that I would lose sight of others."
"I heard from Lao Bai that Italy has recently announced an amnesty for illegal immigrants, so we have to pay special attention this time. If we find anything wrong, report it to the consulate immediately." Dong Qiangqiang sighed lightly, "Of course, if the other party is really determined to run away , let alone the two of us, even the four of us together may not be able to keep an eye on him."
"You have to keep an eye on it." Lei Lanting emphasized hurriedly, "Otherwise, if one escapes, it will be like 'I have worked hard for decades and returned to before liberation', and my work is completely in vain. That is absolutely not possible! Absolutely not possible !” He shook his head like a rattle.
"There are many of us, so we should keep an eye on them." Dong Qiangqiang reassured him while paying attention to the crowd walking out, "So that day you suggested bringing Tong Lele to Italy. Lao Bai and I both thought it was feasible."
"Right," Lei Lanting's originally depressed face immediately brightened up when he heard Tong Lele's name, "Lele has never been to Italy, and now it's vacation. She has money and time. If she doesn't come here, she will graduate this year. If If she really returns to China, she won’t know it’s the year of the monkey or the month of the horse again.”
Everyone can see that since Dong Qiangqiang and Du Lan got along, Lei Lanting launched a new offensive against Tong Lele. Although everyone can also see that "flowing water is intentional, falling flowers are ruthless", and even Lei Lanting himself may be able to feel it, it is difficult for outsiders to interfere if the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried. So when Lei Lanting immediately suggested taking Tong Lele with him on this trip, Dong Qiangqiang did not object, and Lao Bai didn't care. Dong Qiangqiang speculated that Lei Lanting might not know that Tong Lele planned to return to China after graduation.
"After collecting the passports in a while, we will take them to the car. Before getting on the car, let Lao Bai tell them what to pay attention to when traveling. In the next few days, Lao Bai and I will be in the front of the car, and you and Lele will be in the car. At the back, remember to follow closely and don’t lose it.”
"Milan looks more foreign and fashionable than those cities in Germany, and the air is full of luxury goods." Lei Lanting joked, "It shouldn't be as dangerous as Lao Bai said, right? Is he too cautious?"
"Listen to what Lao Bai said, Milan is better in the urban area. The attractions, airports and outlets are all equally dirty and messy. You should not be careless. He has suffered a lot in Italy before. This time he is willing to help. Will you?" A lot of pitfalls will be avoided." Dong Qiangqiang explained.
"But look at how many policemen there are in this airport now. They are much more than in German airports." Lei Lanting glanced at the Italian policemen who could be seen everywhere in the hall, heavily armed and loaded with ammunition. "Although they are not as tall and powerful as the German policemen, they are. But looking at it still makes me feel at ease.”
"That's because last month, a plane flying from Greece to Milan received a notification before it even landed that there might be a bomb on the plane. From then on, the Italian police did not dare to be careless. After all, the lessons learned from 911 were there." Speaking of 911, Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but think of that name again, and quickly closed his mouth.
Lei Lanting probably guessed what he was thinking and stuck out his tongue. Although he didn't say anything else, he felt quite dissatisfied.
The two waited for more than ten minutes before they saw a group of people wandering out of the automatic door.
I saw them walking in the wind, sounding like loud bells, supporting the old and carrying the young, shouting and having their pockets exposed.
Seeing this scene, Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but sigh: If they are still so arrogant in the next few days, they will be a group of fresh lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
"Look! Those two are the ones picking us up." Someone with sharp eyes immediately recognized the words on the pick-up sign held by Lei Lanting, waved to him and shouted, "Hey, are you from a travel agency?"
After a brief exchange of greetings, Dong Qiangqiang led everyone to the car parked outside the airport.
Lao Bai and Tong Lele cleaned the car inside and out early, but in fact it was Tong Lele who did all the cleaning. She really couldn't bear to let a person with bad legs like Lao Bai busy.
"Hello everyone, I am Lao Bai, your tour guide for this trip to Italy. The lady next to me is my assistant Lele, and she is also the tour guide." Lao Bai paused briefly, "Some of you may have been to Milan before. It may be the first time for some of you to go abroad. I am here to talk about the precautions when traveling. Please listen carefully. If your personal or property losses are caused by force majeure or personal reasons, travel agencies, drivers and tour guides do not assume any responsibility. These contents are all written on the travel contracts you signed, so I won't go into details. I mainly emphasize the following points." When Lao Bai spoke, his face was solemn, his tone was low, and with his gray hair, he looked quite uncomfortable. Angry and self-defeating style.
However, no one among the dozen or so people in front of him took him seriously, and the only one who listened seriously was the child.
"First, don't expose your wealth. Although Milan is one of the richest cities in Italy and even Europe, like other Italian cities, there are many thieves. Don't bring large denominations when traveling. Keep money close to your body as much as possible. Keep plenty of change. On your body. Carry your schoolbag on your front. Ladies should not bring a bag or a shoulder bag. If you must carry it, wrap the strap of the bag around your hand. Men and women should try not to bring luxuries and personal valuables such as gold necklaces, earrings, and rings when traveling. objects.”
Dong Qiangqiang observed carefully. Most of the people were talking and laughing, and a few had expressions of irritability and displeasure.
"Second, you must inform the tour guide when leaving the team, and private movement is strictly prohibited. Milan is one of the cities with a high population mobility in Italy, and there is a mix of dragons and snakes. The hotel you are staying in has been booked by the travel agency, but your dining and shopping here are Arrangements are made by the tour guide. When the tour guide is away, you can ask for the driver. Never go alone. Stay away from those gypsy girls on the street who ask you if you want help, and don't let black guys tie ropes around your wrists. These are all It means you will lose money."
A young girl interrupted Lao Bai's speech with disdain: "Hey, how long are you going to talk? We don't have time to listen to you talking about these old things. We are still in a hurry to go shopping..."
Lao Bai didn't even look at her and continued: "Third, tip. In Italy, you need to tip the service staff. Not only do you have to pay the tour guide and driver the same day's tips before dinner every day, but you also need to pay when you use the bathroom in the mall. , you need to tip when others help you carry your luggage, etc. Tipping is a good and orderly custom in European countries. Fourth..."
"I've been talking for a long time just because I want money. It's really annoying to talk so long..." A young girl muttered in a low voice.
"That's right. They thought we didn't understand anything, so they just wanted to get tips, and they didn't even weigh how much they weighed..." An aunt said deliberately in a low voice that Lao Bai could hear.
People began to whisper and whisper to each other.
