As the taxi sped along, Dong Qiangqiang made a mental calculation: If Ding Haifeng were to go back and meet his group members directly, if there were any emotional members among the group members, they might directly report Ding Haifeng's injury to the travel agency. I'm afraid it would be difficult for Ding Haifeng to return. Now that the situation is under control, it may not be easy for Dong Qiangqiang to take over in the future. It is better to let him wait in the car for a while. Once Lao Bai and Lele agree to help, Dong Qiangqiang and Ding Haifeng will show up together to explain the reason. Ding Haifeng's members will They won't cause trouble because they are worried that no one will care about them.
The taxi stopped steadily in the parking lot outside the shopping village. Dong Qiangqiang helped Ding Haifeng get into his station wagon first. After asking him about the number of members in the group and the hotel they were staying at, he asked him not to enter the shopping village yet and wait for the call in the car. Wait until Dong Qiangqiang is done here before calling the members to avoid unnecessary trouble. At this moment, Ding Haifeng was the only one who followed Dong Qiangqiang's lead and immediately agreed.
After Dong Qiangqiang entered the village, he found Lao Bai and roughly described Ding Haifeng's affairs to Lao Bai. Lao Bai asked noncommittally: "How do you think about this?"
"I want to take it." Looking at the bustling tourists from all over the world in the store, Dong Qiangqiang honestly expressed his true thoughts, "First, our group will end tomorrow. If we can seamlessly connect a new group, not only will our income It will be more, and Lele and I will have more experience as tour guides. Secondly, we have all walked his itinerary, which is equivalent to going back the same way. Whether it is driving, visiting or shopping, the previous experience can be consolidated and deepened. Our business capabilities and brand promotion have only advantages and no disadvantages. If we have enough time, we can also add new cities to increase income like last time. Thirdly, by doing this, we are doing Ding a favor. If he does not accept this group , I will definitely have to pay a lot of money to the travel agency. It is not easy for students studying in Germany. Didn’t you just say that on the phone? Just help if you can. Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. This is to accumulate virtue and do good. Good thing."
"Well, now that we've talked about the benefits," Lao Bai said quietly, "let's talk about what problems or troubles you might encounter by doing this."
"The biggest trouble in this matter is that he has no liquidity, so whether it is accommodation, food, or transportation, we have to pay these expenses in advance at the beginning. But I think this money should be collected from the other group members' subsequent shopping commissions. If we squeeze out a part of it, the worst result is that we lose no money, or lose less. If that is the case, I will pay for the part of the compensation. After all, I took over this matter, and it is fair for me to bear it. I guarantee that you will be happy. Lele’s tour guide remuneration, but I really can’t promise the shopping commission. I can only ask you and Lele to go on another trip together because Ding Haifeng has suffered a few stabs, and you can enjoy the sights.” Dong Qiangqiang deliberately begged pitifully, "Do you think it's okay?"
At this time, some members of the group came to ask Lao Bai about shopping. Dong Qiangqiang could only smile and wait for Lao Bai to answer other people's questions first.
"Old Dong, I need to remind you." Lao Bai said sternly, "If you want to advance funds, you have to think clearly. First, the money is not a small amount. Second, you may lose all your money and have to pay back. Third, Third, maybe I judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. This man named Ding Haifeng gave up his life rather than his wealth before. Maybe he will be a villain who turns his back on others or falls in the eyes of money. If you meet Mr. Dongguo in the future Don’t complain about the wolf, because it’s a decision you made after careful consideration.”
"Well, I know that." Dong Qiangqiang nodded, "But I still want to believe that he is a good person."
"Since you have thought it through, I have nothing to say. I guess Lele will not refuse you." Lao Bai picked up a dark blue diagonal striped tie from the display cabinet, looked at it left and right, and then put it down. He turned back and said, "How are you going to handle this next?"
"There was a lot of commotion just now. Maybe Ding Haifeng's people already know about it. The fact that he is injured and can't drive must not be hidden. I plan to let him introduce me to his group. I will be responsible for driving and he will be responsible for the tour guide. It's a coincidence. The thing is, the hotel he stayed in is the same as ours, so I can drag the two groups of people to the same restaurant for dinner, and then to the hotel. As long as we deal with it tonight, we will be relaxed tomorrow night. ." Dong Qiangqiang analyzed.
"That's no coincidence," Lao Bai smiled, "That hotel is famous for its high cost performance in Rome, and the discounts that tour guides can get are huge, so anyone who has been a tour guide in Rome will choose that hotel again, which also shows that Ding Haifeng and the travel agency may not be newbies.”
Since that day was the last night for everyone in Italy, everyone agreed that they wanted to have a Chinese meal to commemorate this trip.
Having learned from his previous experience of eating in Venice, Lao Bai first listed several restaurants with different price points to solicit opinions from everyone. Everyone selected the best among the prices and chose the restaurant with the lowest per capita consumption. Lao Bai made it clear that although this store has a price advantage, people may not be able to accept its interior decoration. But everyone insisted on their opinions and refused to listen to his suggestions. Lao Bai did not hesitate and led the group of people to the "Rome Impression" restaurant without saying a word.
What made Dong Qiangqiang feel good was that the snakehead finally stopped following them this time.
Along the way to the restaurant, he saw many Chinese and Western restaurants. He thought that "Rome Impression" should be a mixture of Chinese and Western restaurants, even if it was not an antique Chinese restaurant.
He couldn't wait to feast and treat himself.
But when Lao Bai led everyone into the restaurant, reality gave everyone present a loud slap in the face.
The restaurant lobby is about a dozen square meters, and the floor is covered with dark red tiles. I don't know if the tiles are old or have not been cleaned for a long time, so they look dirty. Through the holes in the ceiling, you can clearly see the yellowed sound-absorbing cotton inside. On the largest wall is a huge paper golden dragon with no shape at all and very eye-catching details. On the other walls are several Japanese watercolor paintings with tattered corners. Several bakelite tables were scattered in the middle of the room, and an old-fashioned TV was placed on a high table in the corner, playing a certain Hong Kong and Taiwan drama from the 1990s on a seemingly endless loop. The cashier window is on one wall, and behind the wall seems to be the kitchen. The menu display hanging above the window shows close-up color pictures of dozens of different dishes. The light bulbs behind some of the color pictures are broken, making the dish look bleak. The light, as if being laughed at by the other dishes, also makes it even less appetizing. Dong Qiangqiang looked up and looked at the menu. The prices were unbelievably low. In addition to claiming that it combines eight major cuisines, with flavors from both north and south, the restaurant also emphasizes that its signature dishes are Peking duck and Buddha Jumping over the Wall.
The entire lobby was deserted, no one greeted them, and no one was waiting at the window.
A picture has emerged in Dong Qiangqiang's mind: an older man is sweating in front of the blazing fire in the kitchen, stir-frying the dishes in the pot, while his wife is standing by the cashier working boredly, maybe she wants to They work part-time as a receptionist, and their children may be helping peel garlic and wash vegetables in the kitchen.
When everyone thought that Lao Bai brought them here because it had the cheap food they wanted, only Dong Qiangqiang didn't understand why Lao Bai did this the day before leaving. Just as he was about to ask Lao Bai why, the restaurant door suddenly opened. After being pushed away, a group of people of varying heights, fatness and thickness, dressed in Italian police uniforms, silently filed into the restaurant.
This scene was so familiar that Dong Qiangqiang remembered that night in Hamburg for a second.
The leading policeman looked at Dong Qiangqiang and others for a while, then turned his face and shouted toward the window. It sounded like he shouted a personal name.
