In a daze, Dong Qiangqiang was woken up by a violent vibration coming from his abdomen. He rubbed his eyes sleepily, and then realized that the source of the earthquake was his mobile phone.
He shook his head vigorously to wake himself up quickly, and then he saw that the time displayed on his phone was 4:08 in the morning, which was earlier than the time when he and Lao Bai should hand over.
Dong Qiangqiang propped up his body on the sofa with his arms and looked around, only to find that Lao Bai's head was tilted to one side and his body was leaning on another sofa next to him and he was asleep.
He turned his attention to the front desk again, but it was empty. He quietly got up and approached the front desk only to find that the middle-aged man on night shift was sleeping soundly on the table.
He didn't know when Lao Bai fell asleep, nor did he know if the smuggler had come and deceived his group members, so he had to quickly return to the sofa to wake Lao Bai up.
"How about I go up and call them all up?" Dong Qiangqiang hesitated, "I know it's stupid to do this, but I don't want to go through ninety-nine prayers and fail to fix the last one. If someone really ran away, It’s better to call the police earlier. What do you think?”
"Our people are all in the hotel." Lao Bai raised his hand and looked at his watch, "There's no need to wake them up."
"How do you know?" Dong Qiangqiang asked curiously, "Everyone at the front desk is also asleep, and there is no one to help us keep an eye on it. Do you still remember what time you last checked?"
"It was about half past two," Lao Bai yawned, "and then I lost my impression."
"Then it's been an hour and a half," Dong Qiangqiang didn't understand why Lao Bai was so unhurried and unhurried, "What if..."
"It's still early." Lao Bai interrupted him and continued. He got up and carried a blanket and walked to a larger sofa next to him to lie down. "You can sleep a little longer, you have to drive during the day."
"Can you fall asleep?" Dong Qiangqiang was even more surprised, "Aren't you worried at all?"
"Don't tighten yourself too much." Lao Bai replied with his eyes closed, "There's no point in worrying."
"Did you see something?" Dong Qiangqiang, who had asymmetric information, finally came to his senses, "That's why you are so sure."
There was no answer, Lao Bai seemed to have fallen asleep again.
Dong Qiangqiang, who didn't get Lao Bai's support, was determined to go upstairs and knock on the door one by one to check the wards, but he was worried that Lao Bai was right and his rash move might disturb the dreams of the group members, so he had to stay in the lobby boringly.
After finally staying up until six o'clock in the morning, the staff at the hotel front desk changed shifts. Dong Qiangqiang hurried over and asked the other party to call his group members one by one to remind them of the time and place for breakfast.
The staff member was an Italian boy with a childlike face. His fluffy curly hair and sleepy eyes seemed to indicate that he had just woken up. After hearing Dong Qiangqiang's request, he looked embarrassed and politely refused: "Sir, if we do this, we will be complained by our customers and laughed at by our colleagues."
But Dong Qiangqiang couldn't control that much. He was really worried about someone sneaking out of the hotel while Lao Bai was napping. "I have two groups of dozens of people staying in your hotel. Now you only need to call 6 of them. You don't want me to call the police and report that someone is missing in your hotel, do you?"
Dong Qiangqiang's threat was very direct. The boy wanted to refuse but was a little timid. He wanted to find other staff in the lobby to help him out, but was embarrassed to find that he was the only one in the lobby.
Just as he was looking around, Dong Qiangqiang had already picked up the phone on the front desk and dialed the number of his group member's room according to the text prompts on the phone. Then he handed the receiver to the boy and warned: "Just speak English, slower." .”
The boy had no choice but to accept the call obediently and provide morning wake-up calls from room to room. Dong Qiangqiang put his ear next to the receiver and listened attentively to what was happening on the other end of the phone. Fortunately, someone answered the phone in every room, although the group members sounded unhappy when they answered.
Dong Qiangqiang breathed a sigh of relief, gave the boy a 2 euro tip, and then went back to his room to brush his teeth and wash his face. As he was brushing, he wondered: How could Lao Bai predict that no one would escape?
During breakfast, Dong Qiangqiang's members all yawned, as if they hadn't woken up. Lao Zheng was particularly tired. While eating a croissant, he muttered: "After staying in so many houses, this is the first time I have encountered someone who wakes up guests so early for dinner. It sounds fresh, but Rome is different."
His complaint aroused everyone's agreement, but some people think that this may be the unique feature of the Roman hotel.
Listening to everyone laughing and joking, Dong Qiangqiang thought to himself: At least you guys slept yesterday. I slept so much that I was almost scared out of my mind.
Some of Ding Haifeng's team members have already gone downstairs to have breakfast, while others have not yet gotten up. After communicating with Ding Haifeng, Dong Qiangqiang decided to send his people to the city center to have a look around with Lao Bai and Tong Lele, and then return to the hotel to pick up Ding Haifeng's people into the city. Since his group members went directly to Rome Leonardo da Vinci International Airport after lunch to prepare for boarding their flight back home in the afternoon, everyone checked out.
Dong Qiangqiang arranged for Tong Lele to help check out at the front desk. Lao Bai was responsible for checking the two cars, while he helped the group members get their luggage into the car.
Seeing that more and more people were checking out, Dong Qiangqiang and Lao Bai discussed where to go as the first stop. Before the two of them could come to a conclusion, they saw Lao Zheng, the only couple in the group, and another male group member walking with the front desk person. People shouted excitedly.
The people who had already boarded the bus, Lao Bai and Dong Qiangqiang were all confused about what was going on. Lao Bai raised his chin in the direction of the front desk. Dong Qiangqiang understood, jumped out of the car and ran straight over.
"What's going on?" Dong Qiangqiang asked Tong Lele, who was acting as a translator for several people, "Why are there still quarrels after checking out?"
Tong Lele blushed and said "Come and do it" and left the hotel on her own. Several members of the group immediately surrounded Dong Qiangqiang and shouted at the same time. In an instant, Dong Qiangqiang felt that all Lao Zheng's spittle flew onto his face. .
"Tell me one by one." Dong Qiangqiang raised his hands and shouted, "Start from the younger ones."
"Then let me say it first," the woman with the child said without hesitation, "He asked us to lose money."
"Why are you losing money?"
"I don't understand foreign languages, you ask him..." The woman rolled her eyes and put the LV satchel on her shoulder hard, "Why else would I need you? Did your tip go in vain?"
Dong Qiangqiang has become very accustomed to this kind of cynicism in the past few days. He calmly turned to the Italian boy at the front desk and asked: "Why do you ask this lady to compensate?"
"Her child graffitied on the oil painting hanging in the room and has damaged the original work, so she needs to pay 900 euros in compensation." The boy looked at the yellowed manual in his hand and explained slowly.
"What about him?" Dong Qiangqiang pointed at the male member and asked, "He also destroyed the oil painting?"
"He ordered a lot of room service and used up all the charged products in the refrigerator in the room. He needed to pay other fees besides the room rate, totaling 487 euros."
"What about him?" Dong Qiangqiang pointed at Lao Zheng, "He also ate all the refrigerator?"
"Oh, no, this gentleman watched the pay TV channels for one night, and he needed to pay 360 euros to watch the TV."
It was the first time Dong Qiangqiang heard that there was a pay TV in the room, and he couldn't help but ask: "Pay TV? What is the content?"
