    At Beijing Airport, Lu Zheng and Iris received Mr. and Mrs. Sandro Xiao.

    Mr. Sandro and Lu Zheng met him once, but this was the first time he met Mrs. Sandro. She is a Western beauty in her thirties. She is graceful and more radiant than a Hollywood actress. Although Iris is a better person, her mother  , how could she not be a great beauty?

    Mrs. Sandro Xiao was very curious about Lu Zheng. In the first class flight to Ice City, she and Mr. Sandro Xiao changed seats and sat next to Lu Zheng to chat with him. She talked about the marriage between Lu Zheng and Iris.  She was not satisfied or dissatisfied, and had no right to express her opinion, but since Iris chose this Chinese man, she seemed to hope to chat more with her son-in-law and get to know her daughter's chosen husband.

    Lu Zheng could tell that Mrs. Sandro didn't know much about the East. It's no wonder that Western celebrities are always full of arrogance and prejudice, especially towards the East.

    Mr. Sandro was obviously not interested in this trip. After changing seats with Mrs. Sandro, he put on a blindfold and rested. He and Mrs. Sandro had almost no communication.

    The last time Lu Zheng met Mr. Sandro, he knew that Mr. Sandro was a playboy and had affairs with many Hollywood actresses. Perhaps, no matter how sexy and charming Mrs. Sandro was, men were always dissatisfied, and domestic flowers would never be enough.  The scent of wild flowers.

    Mr. Sandro and his wife brought two tall bodyguards with them, plus Laura, who came with Lu Zheng and Iris, a total of seven people. When they left the airport hall, they naturally became the focus of everyone's attention, but Lu  Although Zheng was the only Easterner traveling with them, in the eyes of others, Lu Zheng's identity was naturally that of a translator and tour guide, which was not very conspicuous.

    Lu Zheng also played the role of tour guide and translator. He took care of everything from negotiating taxi prices to asking for directions.

    At the exit of the airport, watching Lu Zheng go to negotiate with the drivers, Mr. Sandro Xiao said slightly dissatisfied: "Isn't he a member of the privileged family of the Communist Party? In China, shouldn't he have many privileges? Why should he handle these trivial matters by himself?  Things are a waste of time.¡±

    Mrs. Sandro's charming blue eyes looked at Lu Zheng's back and said, "I think it's good that he is like this. He is different from you. I can feel it."

    Mr. Sandro muttered something in a low voice, as if he was a little resentful. Maybe he didn't want to travel a long distance to China.

    Iris¡¯s little body stood upright next to her mother. She was wearing a black retro military coat. She was cute, but also had the coldness of a female officer. She was so exquisite that it was hard to describe.

    She didn¡¯t seem to hear Mr. Sandro¡¯s complaints at all. Maybe she had learned to filter out her father¡¯s nagging since she was very young.

    Lu Zheng found two taxis, which made Mr. Sandro a little dissatisfied. Lu Zheng smiled and said, "It's not easy to distribute three cars."

    At Lu Zheng's suggestion, the two bodyguards of the little Sandro couple took the co-pilots of two taxis, then the little Sandro couple took one, Lu Zheng, Iris and Laura took one, and two taxis  The car slowly drove out of the airport as Lu Zheng said.

    It snowed just yesterday in Ice City, and it was covered in silver. This crystal clear northern city was like an ice sculpture, especially enchanting.

    Lido Garden is the only villa area in Ice City today. It is said that because of the high construction cost, the real estate sales are not very good. Although after the snow, this villa located on the frozen riverside like a shining ice belt is like a fairy tale kingdom.  There are dreamy houses one after another, but there is really no one living in the villa area. It looks very empty and desolate.

    Even the taxi driver asked Lu Zheng in surprise after parking the car: "Brother, these foreigners bought the villas from here? Have they been cheated?"

    Lu Zheng could only give him a smile.

    This villa area was developed by a local developer in Bingcheng, but it is a bit ahead of its time. Not many locals in Bingcheng can afford it, and few outsiders will use real estate as an investment. Moreover, even if they invest in real estate, they will not  Come to Ice City.

    Iris, however, is full of confidence in China's newly liberalized real estate. Buying land and real estate in various cities in China is also one of her little hobbies. She has a dedicated team of Chinese agents to operate for her. She usually works through Amalia  The wife gives orders to the team of agents.

    Although Lu Zheng admires Iris' vision and knows the explosive growth after real estate is loosened ten years later, he is not interested in hoarding land in the country. Making money from his own people is not a big deal.  However, he would not get involved in Iris's small interest. Anyway, if Iris did not participate, other hot money would flow in. It was just a matter of time.

    Almost half of the villas in Ice City Lido Garden have been bought by Iris. Lu Zheng couldn't help but admire Iris when he thought about the future value of this land, which is so valuable. This area of ??Ice City will gradually be developed into  Tourist areas and scenic protection areas will no longer approve land for residential villas, and developers are now taking advantage of the loophole. However, the villas built are not easy to sell, but more than ten years later, this only villa has been  Domestic super-rich people speculateA sky-high price.

    In Villa No. L, Mrs. Amalia, Louise, Anna and others rushed over long ago and tidied up the room.  But they were not familiar with Bingcheng after all, so they were not used to pick them up at the airport.

    Lu Zheng asked Mr. Sandro Xiao and Mrs. Sandro Xiao to take a break to catch up on the jet lag. He planned to go to a major travel agency to hire a tour guide who was familiar with the local situation, rent a commercial vehicle, and plan a self-guided tour route for the two days.

    Mr. Sandro's journey was boring. Hearing Lu Zheng say that he wanted to go to the city, he said he would not rest and went with Lu Zheng.

    Just like that, Lu Zheng, Xiao Sandru and Laura took one of the taxis that had just been sent to them and went straight to the Songjiang International Travel Agency that the taxi driver mentioned.  In fact, travel agencies in Bingcheng have sprung up like mushrooms since last year. The taxi driver said that Songjiang Travel Agency is quite large and handles international tours, but it mainly does local business.  There are buses and minibuses marked by their travel agency running in the city, so when Lu Zheng asked the travel agency, he first thought of Songjiang.

    Songjiang Travel Agency occupies two floors on the third and fourth floors in the Guomao Building. It is indeed not small in scale and has a very modern feel.

    Lu Zheng told the reception desk his intention to come. After the receptionist made a few calls, Lu Zheng and others were quickly invited to the lounge, where they were received by a manager of the travel agency named Zhang.

    Manager Zhang is a middle-aged man about forty years old. When he heard Lu Zheng said that he wanted to hire a private tour guide and hire a minibus, he said in embarrassment: "Sir, our tour guides all go with the group and we haven't lent them yet."  Private group precedent.

    Before Lu Zheng could speak, Mr. Sandro Xiao had already taken out a green note and put it on the table. He muttered a few words. I guess he knew there was a blockage from Manager Zhang's expression.

    Lu Zheng had no choice but to act as a translator and said: "Manager Zhang, please help me. I know you are working hard, please help with the arrangements." There was no one outside the glass door of the lounge, so Lu Zheng handed the dollar bill to Manager Zhang.  folder.  In fact, what Mr. Sandro Xiao said was naturally not so polite.

    Manager Zhang has seen the world and knows that this is a hundred dollar bill. If it is put on the black market, it can be exchanged for a thousand yuan. His heart skipped a beat, but he couldn't help but close the folder, and the dollar bill was caught in the file.  inside

    Manager Zhang coughed and said, "Then please wait a moment, three of you, while I go and think of a solution."

    Manager Zhang went out for a walk, and when he came back he was all smiles, and the folder he was holding was not the same one before. After entering the room, he said: "I reported to our President Wang on the phone that he is not in the iceberg."  City, leave it to me to handle the private hiring of tour guides. Our Mr. Wang said that this business can be carried out, but the problem is this. In terms of charging, it is still in line with the tour group. As for our tour group, the tour guide service fee is basically two hundred  It¡¯s about a day, do you think it¡¯s okay?¡±

    Lu Zheng laughed and said, "Just kill the foreigners. The impact will be bad. To be fair, it won't do any harm to your travel agency."

    Manager Zhang smiled and asked tentatively: "Mr. Lu, do the two foreign friends understand Chinese?" Seeing Lu Zheng shaking his head, Manager Zhang's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "That's it, how do you get the rebates?  We can all talk about it. Of course, the quality of our service will definitely satisfy foreign friends. It is reasonable for you to choose such a high-end travel agency for them, don¡¯t you think so?¡±  When translated.

    Lu Zheng said helplessly: "Only in the next two days, how much can I get from the rebates? It's not enough for you, Manager Zhang, to just say something. Manager Zhang, you have to be fair. That's one hundred dollars. You have to help me no matter what."  Mr. Sandro, please fight for your rights?"

    Manager Zhang smiled and said, "It seems like he has a lot of money and doesn't care about this little thing." After all, he felt a little guilty and thought about it and said, "Let's do this. I'll help you choose an international tour guide who often leads foreign groups. He speaks excellent English and can communicate with you."  It¡¯s better to communicate with guests. Are you from a foreign family? Which country are you from?¡±

    Lu Zheng said: "I'm German, but I have no problem communicating in English."

    Manager Zhang said: "That's good. It just so happens that our gold medal tour guide, Miss Gu, is here. I asked her to come and meet you. After all, you are a private group. We also have to consider personal safety, and Miss Gu has to agree to it."

    Lu Zheng nodded.

    Manager Zhang dialed the number and talked for a while. Not long after hanging up, there was a knock on the door, and a pretty girl walked in. She was wearing a dark blue suit, which should be the tour guide uniform of a travel agency. The style is very good and she has a very elegant temperament.

    Manager Zhang smiled and said: "Xiao Gu, come, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Lu, the translator of Mr. Sandro and his party." Then he said to Lu Zheng: "This is Xiao Gu, Gu Wenqi, the gold medal tour guide of our travel agency.  "

    Lu Zheng stood up and shook hands with Gu Wenqi, then introduced Gu Wenqi and Mr. Sandro Xiao in English, saying: "Mr. Sandro, Miss Gu is our tour guide."

    Mr. Sandro didn't even stand up, let alone shake hands with Gu Wenqi, he just nodded.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?With a smile on her face as usual, she retracted her hand. Seeing that the cigarette on the coffee table in front of Mr. Sandro was still not extinguished, she took a few steps forward, squatted down, and gently put out the cigarette butt.

    Seeing her behavior, Mr. Sandro was slightly surprised. He thought that this delicate oriental girl was very attentive and liked her.

    Manager Zhang rolled his eyes and said: "Xiao Gu, you accompany two foreign friends to visit our travel agency. Mr. Lu and I will finalize the details." He then asked Lu Zheng: "Mr. Lu, you can make the decision, right?  ?¡±

    Lu Zheng nodded helplessly, knowing that Manager Zhang wanted to expend all the people so that he could discuss with himself how to hack these foreigners. After all, the tour guide, chartered car and driver, two days of full service, were very flexible in terms of cost.

    Gu Wenqi smiled in English and said to Mr. Sandro Xiao: "Sir, I will accompany you for a walk."

    Little Sandro was feeling bored, so he got up and walked out with Gu Wenqi, without saying hello to Lu Zheng.

    Laura, however, sat still. She had always been responsible for Iris's safety. Without Iris, her first responsibility was Lu Zheng, not Little Sandro.

    Manager Zhang glanced at Laura and said to himself that this female nigger looks stupid, so here she is. Mr. Sandro¡¯s nostrils are turned upward, but he must be smart. If he is present, he is not allowed to make gestures.  When he mentioned the cost, he noticed something.

    Manager Zhang smiled and said to Lu Zheng: "It seems that Mr. Sandro is not very satisfied with you."

    Lu Zheng smiled bitterly and rubbed his nose. He had already felt it. Unlike the last time he met him, Mr. Sandro today seemed to look down on him. This was because he didn't think about himself when he came last time.  Can you really marry his precious daughter?

    Manager Zhang added: "Then let's talk about the details of cooperation?"

    Lu Zheng nodded.

    "If you are still satisfied with Miss Gu, the total cost will be 1,500 yuan including car rental and driver's full service for two days. Car fuel and meals are not included. You will be responsible for all tourist spots, working hours, and meals for the tour guide and driver.  You are also responsible. In this case, I will give you two points." Manager Zhang got straight to the point.

    "What kind of car is this? Although there are seven of us, we should try to have as much space as possible and be more comfortable." Lu Zheng said.

    Manager Zhang smiled and said: "This price is just for an ordinary van. If you change it to a minibus with multiple seats, the price will have to go up."

    Lu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Look for a business car with about fifteen seats. It needs to be a better imported car. If you don't have one here, I think you can rent it from a big hotel with your travel agency." Go out to play.  If you can't sit comfortably, it's no fun.

    Manager Zhang was stunned for a moment. I dared to believe that this person was also trying to do something dirty. He smiled and said: "Okay, no problem. The Cameron Hotel has a fifteen-seater Mercedes-Benz passenger van specially designed to pick up foreigners. I'll borrow it for you. But  If you want to impress someone, I can¡¯t decide on their car, so you can make a budget of five thousand yuan, do you think it¡¯s okay?¡±

    Lu Zheng didn't like bargaining, but this Manager Zhang was really too shady, and that's not how the money was spent. Lu Zheng thought about it and said, "Well, I don't know how to bargain. For two thousand yuan, you can do it."  If it doesn¡¯t work, we¡¯ll find another travel agency.¡±

    Manager Zhang smiled and said: "What do you think this is? If you think the rebate is small, we can discuss it again"

    Before he finished speaking, the door to the lounge was pushed open, and a male staff member rushed in and said, "Your foreign guest who just came here got into a fight with Mr. Jiang."

    Manager Zhang¡¯s expression immediately changed: ¡°Mr. Jiang? Come on, take me to have a look.¡±

    Lu Zheng was also stunned. Mr. Sandro was fighting with someone?  No way?

    Following Manager Zhang, a few people ran down the stairs without waiting for the elevator. The entire floor below, which is also owned by the travel agency, was now in a mess.
