Chapter 54: French trip (5)
The taxi finally stopped beside the Eiffel Tower. The two got out and walked to the Eiffel Tower. Li Yuxin looked up and looked at the tower in front of her, and then said, "Is this the Eiffel Tower? Is there nothing special about it?"
Hearing Li Yuxin's words, Ye Lingtian smiled and said, "It does seem that nothing special now, but at that time, it was still very sensational. Moreover, for the French, this iron tower also has a special meaning to carry the special feelings of their nation."
Li Yuxin nodded, looked around again, then looked at Ye Lingtian in surprise and asked, "Have you ever been to France?"
"If you are interested, you can go up and take a look, but you have to spend money. Since you are here, go up and take a look. From above, you can see the whole of Paris." Ye Lingtian did not answer Li Yuxin's words, but walked away first.
Ye Lingtian and Li Yuxin stayed at the Eiffel Tower for a moment, and then went to Notre Dame Cathedral and the Louvre. Of course, each place just took a quick look.
"Everyone says this is the capital of art, but why don't you feel too much after reading it?" Li Yuxin said with some disappointment.
Ye Lingtian said lightly: "Your requirement is really too high. Just like if you ask a foreigner to not only feel the beauty of its architecture after seeing the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, you also need to understand that the national feelings and historical heaviness contained in it are as unrealistic as we foreigners, looking at these famous buildings is actually just to see the excitement. Most of the foreigners here feel like you. Let's have a meal."
"Ye Lingtian, honestly explain, have you been here before?" Li Yuxin stared at Ye Lingtian and asked.
"Take you to a store, which is very authentic and has a very flavorful Parisian dish. Let's go," Ye Lingtian said again, then called a taxi and got in.
Li Yuxin looked at Ye Lingtian in confusion, and then followed Ye Lingtian into the car.
"I'll invite you to this meal." After entering the restaurant, Ye Lingtian ordered the dishes in fluent French, and then said to Li Yuxin with a smile.
"Ye Lingtian, tell me, have you ever been to France? Moreover, you have been there for quite a while. Your French can be spoken so well, and it seems that you are so familiar with Paris. If you say you have never been here, I won't believe it." Li Yuxin asked Ye Lingtian in a diligent way.
"I've been here, I've been here for a month." Ye Lingtian looked at the brightly lit Paris neighborhood outside the window, nodded and said.
"What are you doing here? Studying abroad? Traveling? No, haven't you been working in the army all the time? Why did you have the chance to come here?" Li Yuxin couldn't figure out the relationship even if she was beaten to death.
"Work, it's a business trip." Ye Lingtian said lightly.
After hearing Ye Lingtian's answer, Li Yuxin was still full of suspicion, but she could see that Ye Lingtian didn't want to say much. Li Yuxin was a smart woman, not a person who liked to ask questions. Therefore, even though she was full of doubts, she stopped it and did not ask Ye Lingtian again.
"Are you still nervous? Do you feel better?" Ye Lingtian took the food handed over by the waiter and asked Li Yuxin while eating.
Li Yuxin looked up and looked at Ye Lingtian, then said, "I don't feel nervous, but I do feel very stressed."
"Let me tell you a story. Maybe this story is not very suitable when I was eating, but I think you should be able to listen. This is what I did when I was thirteen or fourteen years old. At that time, my family was poor and my two children went to school. No matter how hard my mother worked, she could not afford the whole family, let alone she was just an ordinary worker. In order to subsidize the family, I went to pick up garbage. The garbage dump was not far from our house and could be reached within half an hour. I would go there every day after school. However, there were many people who thought the same as me, and many uncles and grandparents were there. The garbage dump was not far from our house.
Every day, garbage trucks come to take out garbage at a fixed time. For us, it is time to grab money. When a truck of garbage is poured out, everyone rushed up and grabbed it like a stimulant, stuffing everything that is slightly worth a little money into the bag I brought. I didn't grow tall at that time, so I couldn't beat others at all. Every time I snatched more, I snatched the least, and the money I earned every day was not enough to buy Ye Shuang an ice cream, not to mention that the family was so tight. Every time I went there, I felt very stressed. Every time I came to the car, I swear in my heart, this time
I must grab more, sell more, buy some vegetables for my family, and make everyone eat better. However, the more I put such pressure on myself, the more nervous I will be. When I grab, I just can't grab any valuable things. In addition, I don't have much strength, and the good things have been snatched by others. Later, I brought a flashlight every day because I knew that there were still a few cars at night, and not many people snatched those cars, so I could grab a little more. After discovering this, when I grabbed it during the day, I didn't have that much pressure and I could pick it up slowly, but later I found out that
When I went to pick up slowly, I had to pick up much more than before. Moreover, most of them were more valuable. Because there was no pressure, I could watch it with a calm mind and not panic, so I would not miss some valuable things and read it more accurately. Of course, what I did is not comparable to what you do now. I just want to tell you that don’t put such pressure on yourself, relax and adjust your mentality. It is much more beneficial to welcome work with a relaxed mindset than nervousness," Ye Lingtian said slowly while eating.
