Riverside police

The doctor said that the old lady would not live long. Wang Qiulan had persisted for so many years. Why couldn't she grit her teeth and hold on for another month or two?

Just when everyone was feeling sorry for Wang Qiulan, Han Yu and Comrade Lao Wu were traveling on a public expense tour in the "City of Romance"!

However, Han Yu's tour was different from Comrade Lao Wu's. Comrade Lao Wu was both a senior police officer and a literary and artistic person. He had to visit the Louvre when he finally came to Paris.

Compared with those domestic attractions, the tickets to the Louvre were not expensive, but Han Yu thought about it and still couldn't bear to spend it.

"Director Han, this is a rare opportunity. I don't know when I will come next time. I may never come again in this life. Don't you really want to go in and take a look?"

"Political commissar, I don't understand art and am not very interested in artworks. Why don't you go in and take a look? I'll wait for you at the exit."

"There is Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" and the broken-armed statue of Venus, the goddess of love!"

"I know, but I'm really not interested in these."

Wu Guoqun felt very sorry. He felt that the reason why the young director was not interested in these things might have something to do with the fact that he was the son of a boatman. He only knew how to sail and repair ships since he was a child, and had never been influenced by art. At the same time, he felt that Han Yu's trip should not be in vain, so he pointed to the front and said, "Director Han, stand over there, I'll take a few more photos for you."

"Okay, thank you."

Han Yu was still interested in taking photos in front of the glass pyramid. Anyway, taking photos didn't cost money. I just didn't know how many memory cards Comrade Wu brought. He started taking photos at Donghai Pudong Airport, started taking photos at Paris Airport, and took photos non-stop in the city of Paris. He was even warned for taking photos of pedestrians.

After taking photos and keeping them, I accompanied him to buy tickets.

I didn't know how big the Louvre was. He didn't know English, let alone French. Han Yu was worried that he would get lost, so he bought tickets with him and didn't let him rush in. He waited at the door for about ten minutes. He happened to meet a domestic tour group and let him go with the tour group.

I thought he would be able to come out after a maximum of an hour, but he waited at the exit for nearly three hours before he came out with a digital camera in his hand.

"Political Commissar, how do you feel?"

"Director Han, you really should go in and take a look. There are all the world's famous artworks inside, and there are many of our Chinese ones!"

"Really?"

"It should be stolen when the Eight-Power Allied Forces burned down the Old Summer Palace. It's a pity to think about it."

They were all stolen, and now they can't get them back.

Han Yu really didn't want to discuss this topic. Looking at the tourist map, he smiled and asked, "Political Commissar, where is the next stop?"

"Let's go to the Eiffel Tower. Is it far from here?" Comrade Lao Wu asked happily.

"It's probably three or four kilometers from the map."

"Why don't we walk there? There are attractions all along the way. Look at those buildings. We can walk and see them."

Going out with him is like going shopping with my senior sister and Zhang Lan. Although he is 51 years old, he doesn't seem to be tired.

Respecting the elderly and loving the young is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation. In addition, it is a rare opportunity to come to the "City of Romance". Han Yu had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to accompany him.

As they walked, Comrade Lao Wu suddenly remembered something: "Director Han, we haven't taken a group photo yet?"

There was a square in front of them. There were many historical buildings around the square. Many tourists from all over the world took photos in the square.

Han Yu was thinking about finding someone to help take a photo, and saw two female tourists from Asia also asking a black guy to help take photos.

Old Wu also noticed it and couldn't help laughing: "I don't know if the black man knows English. If he does, we can ask him to take a few photos for us."

"Okay."

As soon as Han Yu finished speaking, the black guy ran away with the cameras of the two Asian female tourists. The two Asian female tourists recovered, one hurriedly chased after him, and the other shouted anxiously. It sounded like he was Japanese.

Comrade Old Wu was stunned and subconsciously held the digital camera hanging on his chest tightly, muttering: "Is this a robbery?"

"It seems so, no, it is a robbery."

"This is the capital of France. How dare someone rob in broad daylight and in public?"

"Didn't Mr. Liu remind us when he went to the airport to pick us up that the security in Paris is not good."

Mr. Liu is a Chinese in France. He opened a trading company in France and has business dealings with the East China Sea Salvage Bureau of the Ministry of Transportation. He should have helped the East China Sea Salvage Bureau purchase some equipment.

Han Yu and Old Wu came to France to obtain business visas this time, and Mr. Liu's company helped to issue the invitation letter. It would be very troublesome to apply for a visa in the name of the Changhang Public Security Bureau or the Maritime Safety Administration. The visa officers of the French Consulate in Donghai are all China experts. They know that the Changhang Public Security Bureau and the Maritime Safety Administration are both law enforcement departments. They will ask what you are going to France for?

Mr. Liu was very enthusiastic. Not only did he send an invitation letter, he also drove to the airport to pick us up in person, and even held a banquet last night. However, being too enthusiastic is not a good thing. The hotel was booked by someone else, and it was too expensive. A standard room similar to a three-star hotel in China cost 140 euros per night!

There are no invoices abroad like in China.

For this business trip, the Maritime Safety Administration gave an overseas subsidy based on the overseas travel standards of COSCO Shipyard.

The accommodation fee in Paris is 120 euros per person per night, but it becomes 100 euros when we arrive in Marseille, because the prices and consumption in Marseille are not as high as those in Paris. The food expenses are the same, whether in Paris or Marseille, it is 40 euros per person per day.

The money saved is all his own. If he stayed in a cheaper hotel, he could save more.

Han Yu felt more distressed the more he thought about it. He turned around and asked with a smile: "Political Commissar, do you want to take a photo?"

"Forget it. It's not worth it if the camera is stolen." Comrade Wu really experienced what bad public security meant. After thinking about it, he smiled again: "Besides, there's no point in taking a photo with two grown men."

It was dark when they walked along the Seine to the Eiffel Tower. Han Yu's legs hurt from walking, but Comrade Wu was still full of energy.

The lights of the tower were on, which was very spectacular.

Before 6:30, you can take the stairs to the second floor. Now it's past 6:30, so you can't take the stairs and can only take the elevator. You can even take the elevator to the top of the tower to overlook the night view of Paris.

Wu Guoqun has a long working experience and a high administrative position. His salary is higher than Han Yu's. His wife used to be a civil servant, and now she is retired and her salary is not low. In addition, his son has started a family and his son and daughter-in-law have a lot of income, unlike others who have to rely on their parents.

In short, he is more relaxed financially.

After finally coming to France, he was worried that the subsidy from the Maritime Administration was not enough, so he went to the bank in advance to exchange 20,000 euros. It can be said that he came here just to spend money!

Following Han Yu to the ticket office, he stopped and asked: "Director Han, are you really not going up to take a look?"

"No, I'm afraid of heights."

"Plane flies higher, why aren't you afraid of flying?"

"When I was on the plane, I sat by the aisle, not by the window, so I wasn't afraid to look outside."

"So you haven't been to the Oriental Pearl TV Tower?"

"No, I don't dare." As a new Donghai resident who does not work and live in Donghai, Han Yu has really never been to the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, but not because of fear of heights, but because he thinks the ticket is a bit expensive.

Comrade Lao Wu didn't understand why, so he could only pay for the ticket and go up to visit alone.

Han Yu continued to wait at the exit, feeling like he had become the tour guide of Comrade Lao Wu. He thought that the mobile phone he used was a global communication phone, and he had activated international roaming before going abroad, and the Maritime Administration would help reimburse the phone bills later. Then he thought that he was free anyway, so he found a step to sit down, took out his mobile phone and called the senior sister to report that he was safe.

"Don't you see what time it is now? Do you want me to sleep?" Han Xiangning was awakened by the ringing sound in his sleep and asked in a daze.

Han Yu suddenly remembered that there was a time difference between Paris and China, and hurriedly said: "Then I'll hang up first, you go back to sleep."

"No, no, no, I've been woken up by you." Han Xiangning turned over, holding up the phone and asked curiously: "Where are you now, is everything going well?"

"We are in Paris, visiting the Eiffel Tower. Lao Wu went up and I'm waiting for him downstairs."

"Why don't you go up?"

"You need to buy a ticket to go up, and it's just a little higher, what's the point of going up."

The junior brother is indeed as frugal as ever.

Han Xiangning couldn't help but ask, "Besides the Eiffel Tower, where else did you go today?"

"The Louvre, Notre Dame de Paris, Les Invalides, and the Arc de Triomphe. Anyway, I went to many places today, but I didn't go into any of the attractions that require tickets. Old Wu is interested in these, so he went in to take a look."

"If you want to go in, go in and take a look. Zhang Erxiao and Gao Xiaoqin have traveled to France, and they said that the tickets for French attractions are not expensive."

"There's nothing to see. You can do anything with the money."

"If you don't go anywhere, isn't this trip to Paris a waste?"

"I'm on a business trip, I'm here to work." Thinking that one euro can be exchanged for eleven yuan, this trip can save a lot of money, Han Yu laughed and said, "Besides, my trip was not in vain. I took a lot of photos outside the attractions. Old Wu is not only a good writer, but also a good photographer. I'll print out those photos and show them to you when I get back."

There's nothing wrong with being frugal.

Han Xiangning had not only long been accustomed to his junior's stinginess, but also became very stingy. He thought it was okay to not spend money on tickets to see the place, but asked with a smile: "How many days do you plan to visit Paris?"

"The cost of living in Paris is too high. It costs 140 euros to stay overnight. We will take the train to Marseille tomorrow morning."

"The accommodation fee is shared by two people, and it won't exceed the budget, and you won't have to pay for it. Even if it costs 140 euros per night, you can still save 30 euros."

"Why not save more if you can? Who would complain about having too much money?"

"That's right." Han Xiangning suddenly remembered something He asked with a smile, "Your branch regards business trips and obtaining evidence as a benefit. This time it was Political Commissar Wu, who will be next time?"

Han Yu grinned and said, "Old Huang, his passport is ready."

Han Xiangning chuckled and said, "Old Huang's passport may not be used. The Panamanian shipowner I told you about last time replied to my email today. He said that the captain will dock in Hong Kong on the 11th of next month."

Han Yu was stunned and pondered, "It's okay to go to Hong Kong. Old Huang doesn't seem to have been to Hong Kong. Forget it if the passport is not used. Please tell him tomorrow and ask him to apply for a Hong Kong and Macau Pass as soon as possible."
