Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

After leaving the fashion show, the group did not go back to the hotel directly. It was the evening when the scenery was at its best, so a visit to Paris naturally meant a visit to the Champs-Elysees.

The Champs-Élysées was built in 1616 when Queen Marie de Medici transformed a swamp at the Louvre into a green boulevard, also known as the Boulevard des Linmeng.

The translation of 'Champs-Élysées' was given by Mr. Xu Beihong when he was studying in France. The two circular fountains on the street have been preserved to this day, and the construction style imitates the fountain style of St. Petersburg Square in Rome.

At both ends of the Champs-Élysées are some buildings that have experienced the vicissitudes of history. The Arc de Triomphe, a famous historical site that must be seen when traveling to France, is located in the center of the star-shaped square at the west end of the avenue.

Moreover, this section of the road is home to the showrooms of famous car brands such as Air France, Crédit Française, and Mercedes-Benz Citroën. In addition, there are also famous perfume shops, nightclubs and fast food restaurants, which can be said to be a gathering of businessmen.

The eastern section is dominated by the natural scenery of gardens, with birds singing, flowers fragrant and green trees shading it, and it is adjacent to the Louvre Museum with a rich artistic atmosphere.

So if you want to take a walk in the evening, you can go to the east section. If you want to go shopping, the west end is the first choice. The group got off the bus at the east end and walked west. The total length of the Champs Elysees is about 2 kilometers. Stop and go until you reach the west end.

It was almost time to have dinner, so I happened to pick a good restaurant over there to try the local delicacies.

"Do you think they are working normally or working overtime now?" Walking on the tree-lined avenue, although the sun is just setting in the west, it is already past six o'clock in the evening in summer. I looked at the busy shops on both sides of the road.

Yang Dongxu, a busy clerk, couldn't help but ask.

Zhou Ya smiled and ignored him, while Zhuo Qing'er gave him a blank look.

In many movies or TV series in later generations, or when it comes to human rights, "overtime is illegal in France" or that overtime is illegal in developed countries in Europe and the United States has always been a hot topic.

The actual situation is that this is a rumor. As long as you want to get better, whether you are French, German, or even American, you need to work overtime, and voluntary overtime without overtime pay in the country is not uncommon in European and American countries. Even

This routine was introduced to China from these developed countries.

This rumor originated from a report in the French newspaper "Echos", which stated that the latest French labor law stipulates that companies are not allowed to send emails to employees between 6 pm and 9 am the next morning.

Phone calls to employees are not allowed.

In short, employees are not allowed to arrange work after get off work. As soon as this report came out, it was reprinted by media in various countries. The Guangzhou Daily directly reprinted the report with the title "Replying work emails after get off work is illegal in France."

Later, France News Network actually refuted the rumor, saying that there was indeed such a document stating that "work emails and phone calls are not allowed to be sent to employees between 6 pm and 9 am the next morning", but this is not a law.

The document is a 'memorandum of understanding' signed between two French associations and employer companies, and is aimed at engineers and consultants with mid- to upper-level incomes who often work overtime.

The so-called memorandum of understanding means that when I have nothing to do, I can forgive you and you don’t have to work overtime. When I am busy, you must also forgive me for staying in the company and working overtime.

Even in later generations, France stipulated that working hours were 35 hours per week and 7 hours per day. Such an agreement could pass labor arbitration, but it was still not an enforceable regulation.

But this explanation did not attract too many people's attention, because the media wanted a gimmick. Since the audience bought their own newspaper, it was successful. As for helping to explain things that affect the sales of their own newspaper, as long as they are not mentally retarded, they would not do it.

Will do it.

As for reporting based on truth, media reporters must have their own professional ethics... Haha...

So it is true that the French are on strike demanding reduction in working hours and increase in wages and benefits, but if you say that all French people work five days a week, seven hours a day, you are not satisfied with such ease, and want to ask for more.

There is no such good thing in the world. Looking at the developed countries in Europe and the United States, the difference in the protection of workers' rights and interests seems more fair.

It is impossible for everyone to work five days a week and seven hours a day. Employees who do not have weekend breaks are common in France, and it is not uncommon to work more than ten hours a day.

Of course, if you want to say, I have to do a job that has weekends off and works seven hours a day. If you want to do such a job, no one will stop you, but your quality of life will definitely only hover around the line of food and clothing. No.

Have more income to pay for other consumption.

Therefore, those scenes in TV dramas or movies about overtime crimes, various European and American workers being unaware of their blessings, and various demonstrations and protests are actually bullshit. It is a universal truth all over the world that the more work you do, the more you work. At most, it is the people of your country.

Foreigners are only taken care of in terms of salary and benefits, and they cannot all be herded.

Zhou Ya used to stay in Europe and the United States to handle business, so she was obviously very aware of this example. Zhuo Qing'er has also been traveling to Paris in recent years. Although he has not understood it seriously, he has seen many examples with his own eyes.

I won't fall for it either.

"Don't you have great influence in China? Do you want to popularize these common sense things back home?" Zhuo Qing'er asked tit for tat.

"Even if I say something like this, would anyone believe it? Do you believe that there are many people who say I can't eat grapes and say they are sour?" Yang Dongxu curled his lips. This kind of thing is obviously thankless.

In fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon in China. Especially after countries in later generations vigorously develop infrastructure, some foreign counties may not necessarily look as good as domestic rural areas.

But some people don’t believe it, so they travel abroad one after another. Then they write about it after they come back. I don’t know whether they are afraid that they will travel to a garbage place, feel garbage and be laughed at by people they know. Or they are afraid that they have already suffered a loss and been deceived.

You have to trick other people into thinking that you can have a balanced mind.

In short, even if you don’t have fun when you travel abroad, you will still be very happy. It seems that traveling abroad has higher merits than Monk Tang’s trip to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures...

"Sister Zhou Ya, do you want to go in and take a look? I'm going to kill someone today. Every time I invite guests to my own restaurant, I've never seen someone so picky." Zhuo Qing'er held Zhou Ya's arm and pointed at a high-end luxury cosmetics store.

The shop said.

"I'm still feeding my child, so I can't use these cosmetics." Zhou Ya smiled.

"Has your mind become mired in studying design in the past few years? We are husband and wife. All the money I save belongs to my wife, and you actually told Zhou Ya that it was wrong for me to save?" Yang Dongxu said with a slight expression.

He glanced at Zhuo Qing'er with disgust, as if looking at a fool.

"You're crazy. You pretended to be too good before, so you tricked Sister Zhou Ya into getting married. Otherwise, you would have been a bachelor for the rest of your life." Zhuo Qing'er glared at Yang Dongxu, which was obviously unreasonable and forced.

A tough fight.

Yang Dongxu rolled up his sleeves and looked ready to fight back. But the words had not come out yet. The mobile phone in his pocket rang. He glanced at the unfamiliar number and hung up immediately, preparing to argue with Zhuo Qing'er.

A son named Chou Yin Mao came.

But the phone hung up and started ringing again.

Hang up again!

Ring again.

"It's not over, is it? Who are you?" Yang Dongxu answered the phone.

"The Embassy in France, you..."

"Oh, I got it." He said a lot on the phone. In the end, Yang Dongxu, who was a little impatient, responded and hung up the phone. He hesitated for two seconds and did not cover the flip phone, but directly chose to turn off the phone.

.

"What happened just now?" Zhou Ya reached out and wiped Xiao Wenchen's saliva and asked casually.

"It's the same old routine, diplomatic protest. Is it this or that?" Yang Dongxu shrugged indifferently.

"Is nothing going to happen?" Zhuo Qing'er looked at Yang Dongxu worriedly.

Although I know that Yang Dongxu is not a vegetarian, this is a foreign country after all. And the embassy represents the government. If someone like Yang Dongxu hangs up the phone and turns off the phone before he has finished speaking, he will definitely offend others.

"What's the problem? Don't say that Rima is just a shareholder of Exxon, or that his father is a shareholder of Exxon, and he is still not in the top five. Even if Exxon Oil Company is theirs

It's not like I can't afford the legal fees for an international lawsuit." Yang Dongxu curled his lips.

"But the other party is a person with status. Whether this lawsuit is fought in France or in Europe and the United States, the court will definitely be biased." Zhuo Qing'er still couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Hey, I haven't spent any time abroad in the past few years, but I still understand the secrets here." Yang Dongxu looked at Zhuo Qing'er in surprise.

The cruel Zhuo Qing'er felt itchy at the base of her teeth. If Zhou Ya hadn't been between them, she would have pounced on Yang Dongxu and bit Yang Dongxu twice. She obviously cared about him with good intentions, but this bastard was actually really angry with her.

"Okay, okay." Seeing Zhuo Qing'er's eyes starting to get angry, Yang Dongxu stopped teasing, "You have to believe that the saying 'money can make the devil go away' is true everywhere. The court may because of this

His status is biased, but I am rich.

In other words, I am so poor that all I have left is money. If you have money, you will have good lawyers. In addition, many lawyers would break their heads in this kind of international lawsuit and want to help you fight it so that you can have a chance to become famous overnight. Don't say that I am rich.

, if I don’t have money to operate properly, a bunch of bad lawyers will let me choose for free.”

"It's better to say it than to sing it." Zhuo Qing'er snorted unconvinced.

Especially Yang Dongxu's words, 'I am so poor that I only have money', made her want to kick Yang Dongxu a few times. She had never seen such a arrogant person. She really wanted to hit someone who was so arrogant and yet so successful.

Chinese Embassy in France.

"How's it going? When will he be here?" Seeing his secretary put down the phone subconsciously, the deputy representative of the embassy asked.

"that......"

"What kind of trouble have you encountered?" The deputy representative frowned. Diplomacy is no small matter, especially in such a foreign country.

"No, he hung up the phone before I finished speaking." The secretary cried sadly.

"Then why are you still standing there? Keep calling. Could it be that the domestic mobile phone signal is not good overseas and it was accidentally disconnected?"

"Hit!" The other party turned off his phone."

"There is really a problem with the mobile phone signal." The deputy representative was stunned.

secretary:"......"
