Located in the south central part of France, Clement Ferrand is the capital of Auvergne region and the capital of Mount DOM province. It is the political, economic, cultural and educational center and the largest city in the region. Michelin, a world-famous tire manufacturer, was founded in this city, and its manufacturing center still stands here. In addition, its clothing industry and agricultural machinery manufacturing industry are also very competitive in the market.
Mount dome on the west side of Clement Ferrand is a volcano, which has erupted many times in history. Many buildings here are made of nearby volcanic rocks, making the city a famous "volcano city" in France. The natural scenery here is beautiful. There is an open popular science theme park - Clement Ferrand vulcania volcano Geopark near DOM volcano. The volcano is surrounded by gardens and towns with European characteristics, as well as skiing, skydiving, hot-air balloons and other recreational venues. In addition, the per capita income and per capita consumption level here are lower than the average level of Mount DOM Province, ovene region and the whole France, which also makes it a very good holiday destination in central France.
Coming out of the passenger passage of ovegne International Airport, Xiao Yao saw a big card with his name written in both Chinese and English among the people who picked up the plane. He motioned with Fang still and Pei Minyi and walked towards the big card.
When he came near, Xiao Yao was slightly surprised. This is a young white girl with brown hair. Her facial features look like Clara Lago, a Spanish actress Xiao Yao knew before.
"Hello, I''m Xiao Yao!" Xiao Yao pushed the luggage cart, went to the girl and said in English.
"Hello, I''m the staff sent by Yago to meet you. My name is Clara... "The girl put down her cards, shook hands with Xiao Yao with a smile, and introduced herself in English.
"Lago?" Xiao Yao stares at the road.
"Well?" The girl puzzled for a moment, subconsciously looked behind her, then turned back and said, "do you see an acquaintance? Oh, by the way, my name is Clara Willa
"No, I read it wrong." Xiao Yao smiles awkwardly, then introduces Fang still and Pei Minyi to Clara Willa and says, "these two are my assistants. This is Fang still and this is Pei Minyi."
"Hello," Clara Willa said with a smile, and then said to Xiao Yao with some doubts, "you said they were both your assistants?"
"Yes, can''t I bring two assistants?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I remember we told Yago''s Shencheng branch in advance that three people came here this time."
"No, no, the number is not a problem." Clara Willa pointed to Xiao Yao''s luggage lane with a smile. "I just didn''t think that these two were your assistants, but the luggage of the three of you was in your luggage cart. What a gentleman you are
"Thank you," Xiao Yao understood Clara''s meaning and said with a smile, "not only French men and English men are gentlemen, but also Chinese men."
"Do you think he knew Yago would send a local beauty to pick up the plane, so he put all our luggage in his car to help us push our luggage?" The Chinese side still can''t help but make complaints about Pei Minyi''s voice in Chinese.
"Well, speak with conscience." Xiao Yao, who has a good ear power, looks back at Fang and says, "even in domestic airports, I help you with your luggage every time?"
"Oh, forget he''s very good at hearing." Fang still sticks out his tongue.
Xiao Yao and Fang still speak Chinese. Clara Willa didn''t understand them, but he guessed that they were just joking, not really contradictory. He called Xiao Yao and said, "Mr. Xiao, I''ll take you to the hotel first."
"All right." Xiao Yao is no longer concerned with Fang and follows Clara Willa to the parking lot outside the airport.
The four came to the parking lot and got into Vera''s car.
Willa drove to the hotel, and on the way, she began to tell Xiao Yao about the arrangement of Yago company: "Mr. Xiao, I''ll take you to the hotel now, and tomorrow morning I''ll take you to the office of the Organizing Committee of the film festival to go through the formalities and get your personal documents. This short film festival lasts for five days. Apart from the last day when the awards are announced, the first four days are the screening of all the short films. With the certificates issued to you by the festival, you can enter any exhibition hall at any time to watch the short films being played. "
"Thank you." Xiao Yao, sitting in the co pilot''s seat, nodded politely to thank him.
"You''re welcome. It''s my job." Clara Willa smiles, and then says, "if you are interested, you can also visit Clement Ferrand and the surrounding scenic spots, including tonight. If you want to go out for sightseeing, you can contact me at any time. In addition to the reception work, I am also responsible for working as your part-time tour guide during this period."
"I see," Xiao Yao said with a smile. "In fact, my two assistants are here to play in France. I''m sure I''ll have to trouble you these days."
"Look, there are all free guides. You two are really here this time." Xiao Yao turned back to the two people in the back seat, "you two don''t have to worry about anything, just go and play.""And you?" Clara Willa turned to Xiao Yao and said, "aren''t you going to visit Clement Ferrand, too? You don''t have to be there all the time for the first four days of the festival. During the screening of your short films, I certainly suggest that you stay in the exhibition hall, so that some film dealers who are interested in you and your short films after watching the short films will not find you. However, in the film festival, each short film will only be played three times, and there is not much time in total. You still have a lot of time to go out and play. "
"Thank you for your reminding," Xiao Yao said with a smile. "But clement Ferran, I''ve been here before, and I''ve taken pictures of the crater on Mount dom. I''ve seen the places I should play and see. Besides, I''m here for the film festival this time, and I''m going to watch more video clips. Just take my two assistants and play well. "
"You really don''t need us to do anything, just let us play?" Fang still leans forward and asks Xiao Yao.
"Of course not." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "didn''t you listen to Clara? What if a film dealer sees my short film during the show? You have to be present when you talk about copyright. So during the show period, including the next half hour, you have to stay with me in the exhibition hall. After that, I look for short films in the film festival, so you can play with Minyi freely. Minyi really has nothing to do, except for putting on make-up for me on the last day of the award ceremony. I can move freely for the first four days. "
"That''s good." Listen to Xiao Yao say so, Fang still and Pei Minyi at the same time relaxed. Although Xiao Yao said that he was taking advantage of the opportunity of work to take them out to play, they would be very embarrassed if he really didn''t do anything in France this time, just played for a few days, and then followed Xiao Yao to go back like this.
"You have a good boss!" Clara Willa glanced in the rearview mirror and said with a smile, "I envy you."
"Isn''t your boss nice to you?" Fang still smiles and says to Clara Willa, "you are so beautiful, no boss will treat you too badly, right? Unless your boss is a woman and envies your beauty. "
"Strictly speaking, I don''t have a boss yet." Clara Vera said, "I''m just working part-time in Yago."
"Just part time?" Fang still repeated, "I think you are very talkative and professional. I thought you were an old employee."
"I''m still a student. Study acting at Clement College of art. " Clara Willa said with a smile, "because of the film festival, at this time of year, many cultural agencies, film companies, film dealers and the like need to temporarily increase their staff. Because I''m studying acting, I know more about movies, and my English is good, so I have a part-time job as a receptionist at this time of year. "
Four people chatted all the way, and soon arrived at the hotel where Yage company helped Xiao Yao to book a room.
Send them to the front desk of the hotel and watch them check in. Clara Willa leaves them with her contact information.
Xiao Yao and Fang still, Pei Minyi three people are together, luggage is not a lot, a waiter pushing a hotel luggage car can be loaded, Xiao Yao also no longer trouble one more person. First, I took the two women to the room with the waiter, and then I took the waiter back to my room. When the waiter unloaded his luggage, Xiao Yao tipped him and began to pack his luggage.
The doorbell rang as soon as the luggage was packed here.
Xiao Yao went to open the door and found that it was Fang still and Pei Minyi.
"What''s the matter?" Xiao Yao let them into the room and closed the door.
"I came to you only when I had nothing to do." Fang still said, "the film festival will officially start tomorrow. How can we arrange it tonight?"
"You can arrange what you want," Xiao said with a smile. "You can find a place to play by yourself."
"We are not familiar with the land. It''s our first time to go abroad. How can we find a place to play. Didn''t you say you were here before? Of course we''ll ask you. " Fang still takes it for granted.
"Look for Vera," Xiao Yao said. "Didn''t she say part-time tour guide? We have paid for Yago. Since they have arranged people for us, it''s no use for nothing. " With that, Xiao Yao picked up an empty glass on the table and took it to the tap to drink. Along the way and Clara Willa chat, said a lot, and some luggage, Xiao Yao already thirsty.
"You just drink raw water?" Pei Minyi looks at Xiao Yao''s action and exclaims in surprise.
"It''s OK. The water here can be drunk directly." Xiao Yao waved his hand and said, "do you want to try it? There are still empty cups on the table. If you want to drink, you can pick them up yourself."
"Did you switch to the European way of life when you came to Europe?" Fang still shook his head and said, "no matter how sanitary the water in France is, it''s also the water in the tap. We can''t stand it." She knows that people in some European and American countries drink water directly from a cup to a tap, but she can''t do it in terms of behavior."You don''t know that. I won''t let you drink like this in other places in Europe and America, but it''s different here. " Xiao Yao said to them, "next to Clement Ferran is the volcano. In the early years, the magma accumulated near the crater and formed different types of magmatic rocks. These rocks are rich in minerals, so a lot of minerals beneficial to human health are dissolved in the groundwater in this area. The water quality here is very good. Tap water is almost the same as mineral water. That''s why I asked you to drink it. By the way, there is an additional advantage of living here, that is, you can take a bath with mineral water, which is a luxury you can''t enjoy in other places. If you have nothing to do at night, take a bath in the hotel. "
"Well, we''re not here to enjoy bathing in mineral water." Fang still rolled his eyes and said, "then we''ll find Vera to take us out to play in the evening. Do you want to go with us?"
"I''d better sleep in the hotel." Xiao Yao shook his head.
"Don''t be such a wet blanket." Fang still said, "we finally come to France, you stay in the hotel to sleep? It''s a waste of life
"Why not come to France? That''s you Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I''ve been to France several times. This is clement Ferran. I''ve been here once before, and I''ve taken pictures of the crater. Otherwise, how can I know so much about this place and know that the water here can be drunk as mineral water. In fact, there are many places to play here, but there are really no good activities in the evening. "
"Well, sleep in the hotel." Fang still turned out his cell phone and said, "let me ask Vera if there are any interesting programs here in the evening."
"Hello Vera, I''m Fang still." Through Clara Willa''s phone, Fang still first asked Hello, and then said straight to the point, "I want to ask, is there any fun place here in the evening?"
"Tonight?" Vera asked affirmatively, "don''t you need jet lag?"
"No need." Fang still said, "because of the time difference, I don''t think I can sleep tonight, so I want to go out to play."
"Well, the International Jazz Festival happened to perform in Clement recently. This evening is the last one. I originally planned to go with my friends. If you are interested, I can take you with me."
"International Jazz Festival?" Fang still took a look at Pei Minyi. Seeing her nodding, she immediately replied, "well, we are very interested. Please take us with you at night."
"International Jazz Festival?" Xiao Yao was also stunned.
"No problem!" Vera said at the end of the phone, "are you all three going? I also have two friends who need to think about what to drive in the evening. "
"The two of us." Fang still said on purpose.
"Three!" Xiao Yao immediately shouts to the phone.
"OK, three!" Vera on the phone said with a smile, "I''ll pick you up at the hotel at seven in the evening."
"Thank you Fang still thanks, hangs up the phone, raises his eyes and says, "don''t you want to sleep in the hotel?"
"I didn''t know there was a Jazz Festival here tonight." Xiao Yao slightly embarrassed smile.
"It seems that you don''t know so much about it." Fang is still smiling.
