Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 251: Use this to test cadres? (Life Chapter)

Gu Weijun went back to his room and changed his outfit, wearing a straight Mao suit and shiny leather shoes. After asking for leave from Team Leader Fang, he left the embassy under the leadership of Comrade Wang, a staff member of the embassy.

The embassy is very close to the Champs Elysées, only a few hundred meters away, and it takes about 5 minutes to walk.

When you walk into the Champs Elysées, the first thing you see is the wide roads and neat streets, lined with tall and gorgeous buildings, exuding a historical atmosphere and exquisite architectural style. The exterior walls of these buildings are decorated With exquisite sculptures and reliefs, the beauty of European architecture is highlighted everywhere.

Gu Weijun previously thought that the Champs Elysees was similar to the Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street or Wangfujing Pedestrian Street in China. He didn't expect that the road in the middle was so wide, with 8 lanes! There were also cars parked on both sides.

Looking at the Elysée Palace from a distance, the Champs Elysées are not all storefronts. To the east is a 700-meter-long boulevard and lawn near the Place de la Concorde, in the middle is a circular square, and to the west is the business district 1200 meters away. It is said that the closer you get, the more you get there. The rent at the Arc de Triomphe is more expensive.

People were coming and going on the Champs Elysées, and their clothes were not as fashionable as Weijun imagined. They couldn't keep up with Taikoo Li in Chongqing in later generations!

Men generally wear suits, while women's clothes are mainly in dark tones and less colorful. Although there are some who wear skirts, they are long and only reveal their ankles. Alas, bad review!

Alas, I was deceived by later generations of photographers! Gu Weijun remembers seeing a group of photos of French models from the 60s. Their clothes and figures fit his aesthetic perfectly!

Where is my flaming red lip and big waves? Could it be that my Sophie and Adjani are too young?

Alas, all that's left is shopping.

Or with a man!

What’s even more sad is that it’s not available for purchase now.

Gu Weijun strolled along the street. The latest fashionable clothing, jewelry, and perfumes were displayed in the windows of these shops on both sides of the street. The lights illuminated these shops, filling the entire block with bright light.

There are also many cafes and restaurants on the Champs Elysees, exuding the tempting aroma of coffee and delicious food. There are many tourists sitting in parasols by the roadside, enjoying delicious food and afternoon tea, and enjoying a leisurely afternoon.

"Hi, sir, can I buy you a drink?" Gu Weijun looked down and saw a smoking lady with an oval face, almond eyes and a sharp nose, short blond hair like a little boy, wearing a horizontally striped orange jumpsuit. skirt and white high heels.

"Hi, my name is Zhen, can I buy you a drink?" Seeing that Gu Weijun didn't answer directly, the lady switched to English and asked again.

"Hi! Hello!" Gu Weijun replied in English with a smile, "My name is Gu, of course!"

"Who can refuse an invitation from a beautiful lady?"

"It's just that you also saw that I have a companion. I can't abandon him just because of an invitation from a beautiful lady, otherwise he will be sad!"

Jane's eyes turned into crescent moons as she smiled, "Of course, I'm not such an unreasonable person!"

The three of them walked to a coffee shop on the street under the leadership of Jane. After sitting down, Jane asked cheerfully: "What do you want to drink?"

"Tea or red wine?" Gu Weijun shrugged, "You have to know that as an Oriental, I prefer tea."

"Where is this gentleman?" Jane did not ignore Comrade Wang.

"Just be like Gu!"

Jane smiled slyly, "Okay, then I'll help you decide!"

"Hey waiter, please bring a bottle of Bordeaux Margaux wine and a plate of cheese!"

Gu Weijun's expression remained unchanged and contained a smile, but Comrade Wang's expression became very unnatural.

Zhen raised her eyebrows, and she was surprised by Gu Weijun's calmness, "Gu, can I ask which country you are from?"

“If it’s not convenient to answer, just think I didn’t say anything!”

Gu Weijun smiled smartly, "What's so secret about this?"

"I'm Chinese!" "Ah!" Jane covered her mouth with her hands in surprise, "Is it that mysterious country in the East?"

Gu Weijun raised his eyebrows, showed his standard eight teeth, and replied with a smile: "Beautiful lady, do you think I am mysterious?"

Soon, a bottle of red wine was consumed by Gu Weijun and Zhen. The two had a lively conversation. From the conversation, they learned that Zhen is an American, and her full name is Zhen. Xibao is an actor who came to France to film a movie! It happened that there was nothing to do after the film was finished, and my agent had returned to the United States. I was bored and came to the Champs Elysées to relax.

Unexpectedly, at a glance, he saw Gu Weijun, who stood out among the crowd and had a unique temperament. He couldn't restrain his curiosity, so he took the initiative to chat.

The gentlemanly demeanor and humor shown by Gu Weijun did not disappoint Jane. Happy time is always short-lived. Jane looked at her wrist and saw that it was already 6 pm. She invited Gu Weijun again, "Dear Gu, do you have an appointment tonight?" ?”

"Would you like to have dinner together tonight?"

“The hotel I’m staying in has a three-star Michelin restaurant which is pretty good!”

"Yeah~~And we can still chat for a while!"

Zhen looked at Gu Weijun expectantly, "I hope to hear you tell more stories about the East and China!"

Gu Weijun stood up with a smile and made a gesture of invitation, "Parting is the beginning of reunion!"

"Every companionship on the journey has an end!"

"Jane, let me take you to the hotel to bring our encounter to a successful conclusion!"

"Okay then!" Jane's hope was dashed and she sighed softly. After calling the waiter to pay the bill, she asked for the waiter's notebook, wrote down her contact information and phone number and handed it to Gu Weijun.

After Gu Weijun took the small note, Zhen's hand never put it down, her eyes filled with tears, "So, why don't you leave your contact information?"

Gu Weijun smiled and pointed at Comrade Wang, "Zhen, our country is not that open to the outside world now. If possible, I think you can contact me through our embassy in France!"

Comrade Wang immediately said: "No. 11 George Street!"

Gu Weijun gave him a strange look, but Comrade Wang's expression remained unchanged.

Gu Weijun made an invitation gesture again, and Jane sighed slightly again, picked up her handbag and walked forward.

The George V Hotel is not far from the Champs Elysées, with Baroque architectural style everywhere. The hotel is filled with flowers. After Gu Weijun sent Jane to the door of the hotel, he stretched out his right hand to say goodbye, "We have an ancient Chinese poem, After seeing you for thousands of miles, I must say goodbye!"

“Beautiful lady, Jane, thank you again for today’s afternoon tea!”

"This is a good time that I will never forget!"

Unexpectedly, Jane did not reach out to shake hands. Instead, she opened her arms and hugged Gu Weijun directly. She said goodbye with the kiss-to-cheek gesture popular in France. At the same time, she whispered her room number in his ear, "Gu, just as you said, Parting is the beginning of repetition, and I hope our repetition is already on the way."

Then he licked Gu Weijun's earlobe with the tip of his tongue, which made Gu Weijun tremble all over!

After letting go of Gu Weijun, Zhen smiled slyly again and walked into the hotel with light steps.

After watching Zhen enter the hotel, Gu Weijun turned to Comrade Wang and said, "Brother Wang, shall we go back too?"

Maybe someone saw the happy conversation between Gu Weijun and Zhen at the roadside cafe. On the way back to the embassy, ​​several women also took the initiative to invite them. Unfortunately, none of them liked Gu Weijun's aesthetics, and Gu Weijun already declined the appointment.

When Gu Weijun passed by BNP Paribas, Deutsche Bank, Sumitomo Mitsui, Citibank and other banks, he stopped to take a look. He also went in and walked around to experience capitalism up close before finally returning to the embassy!

　Does any book friend know this actress? Ha ha
