After sending his address to this person, Han Qi packed up his things. At eleven o'clock, someone came and knocked on the door.
Han Qi walked over and opened the door. Outside was a young man in his twenties who looked very young. He was not as formally dressed as other government employees. He was dressed casually, which made Han Qi think he was here to promote sales of something.
But I thought it was impossible. The salesperson might be dressed more formally than the staff.
"Hello, who are you?"
"My name is Algernon, and I work for the Norwegian Foreign Affairs Office, Mr. Han Qi. I will be your assistant from now on."
"oh!"
This should be the person James sent to pick him up.
"What's wrong with an assistant? That's a bit harsh. It's work. Let's help each other. Did you drive here?"
"Yes, of course. Do you want to clean up? Or should we leave now."
"Let's go now."
Han Qi went back to the house and took out his luggage. Anyway, there were just a few things. Now they were all packed in a suitcase and a travel bag. He could carry the bag on his back and pull the suitcase and set off.
Algernon saw that the travel bag Han Qi was carrying was very high, and said to Han Qi: "Do you need me to help you get something? For example, this bag."
Han Qi looked at his figure and thought to himself that he might not be able to move it for you. He quickly shook his head: "No, I can do it by myself. I still have some energy left. Where is your car? Let's get in the car first. Otherwise
You colleagues should all be impatient."
The month has just reached the middle of the month, and Tromso has called four times. It is hard to believe that this matter is really as leisurely as James said.
"Just downstairs."
As an official, there is no problem if you temporarily park at a certain point on the street during work, as long as it does not cause too much impact. Let alone declare it, the traffic police will choose to let it go after looking at the license plate.
When I opened the trunk, it was empty. It was obvious that everything had been emptied when it arrived.
After putting down his luggage, Han Qi sat in the passenger seat.
The car started to move forward.
Han Qi is a little unfamiliar with the road... Although he is unfamiliar with any road, he knows the way by looking at the buildings.
"Aren't we taking a plane?"
"There is something wrong with the flight from Oslo to Tromsø. It will not be opened in the near future, so I can only drive you there. I hope you don't mind. There is food and water in the car, as well as pillows and blankets. Please
Use it as you wish.”
Forehead……
It's several hundred kilometers away. How long will it take if we keep driving?
He adjusted his seat very far back and lazily exchanged messages with Ingrid.
After watching Algernon who was concentrating on driving for a while, Han Qi suddenly asked: "Hey, brother, I guess you are about the same age as me. When did you join the government?"
"Ah? I... I passed the exam in the first half of the year, and I have only been officially working for two months."
"Internship period?"
"That's right." He said, but he was afraid that Han Qi would look down upon him, so he explained, "Despite this statement, as long as the first contract is signed, it will be considered approved, and wages and other benefits will be paid as normal employees.
"
"I know, enjoy normal treatment."
It is said that the welfare of domestic civil servants is good, but are they good?
There are very few ordinary things. Under normal circumstances, I can sleep until I get up at ten o'clock, come over for a cup of coffee, have lunch, and have afternoon tea before getting off work. If you don't have self-control, you can see the end of this kind of life at a glance.
This is a single person, but the normal life of almost all Norwegian government employees.
In other words, the students who have just joined are more energetic.
Seeing that Han Qi was easy to talk to, Algernon tentatively said, "Can we take a photo together later? My girlfriend likes you very much and even learned a few songs you sang in Chinese."
"Oh? Does she understand?"
"That should be possible, right? She understands a little Chinese now."
"Okay, okay, no problem." Han Qi nodded affirmatively.
Han Qi didn't know why he suddenly thought of a small animal.
There is a saying that goes like this: "If you encounter this kind of thing somewhere, then there will be more of the same thing happening somewhere you can't see."
In other words, there are many people who start learning Chinese because of themselves.
Could this be the Chinese propaganda ambassador?
It was the first time that he met someone who started learning Chinese because of chasing stars, and this was a foreigner. This made Han Qi's sleepiness dissipate a lot. He flipped the switch and let the seat bounce back.
"Usually I will give you autographs, photos, etc., but I'm curious about how your girlfriend learns Chinese."
Algernon laughed twice and said a little embarrassedly: "I don't understand this, but it sounds like it. I even remembered one word, (hello) means hello.
.”
"Almost."
Chinese is the most difficult language in the world to learn.
This is not aimed at Chinese children who have been learning Chinese since childhood, but for foreigners who have been learning phonetic characters since childhood.
In the whole world, only China fully uses ideograms.
The island country has converted almost half of its languages, many of which are phonetic, as well as Korean. Korean characters seem to be phonetic, but in fact they are all phonetic... They have abandoned the most culture among Asian countries.
Therefore, it is difficult for foreigners to learn Chinese.
Ingrid is considered to be very talented, and she also has Han Qi to give guidance. He is very sensitive to language. He can tell what is wrong with Ingrid as soon as he hears it. After a few months of targeted training, Ingrid will be able to improve her English.
Ge Li can speak Chinese fluently with Han Qi.
During this time, Han Qi occasionally studied Italian.
Not to say proficient, but at least if Han Qi is put on the streets of Italy now, he can ensure that he doesn't get lost... He has mastered all the words related to asking for directions.
Algernon seemed very proud of his girlfriend, bragging to Han Qi all the way about how beautiful and talented she was. Han Qi laughed and said nothing, and sometimes chimed in and said something about how awesome she was, how envious she was.
Didn't you expect that my wife is your future queen?
The journey on the road was quite boring. When I was tired of talking, I was listening to music. Algernon suddenly answered the phone and turned down the music in the car.
"I just picked up Mr. Han Qi and I'm driving him to Tromso."
"Yes, yes."
"I know you like him very much, but it would be too rude for you to come to see him. He has already promised to give me autographs and photos."
"Don't be sad, that's it. Goodbye."
After he hung up the phone, Han Qi suddenly said: "If you don't mind, there's no problem with me."
He never resists contact with fans and even treated them to dinner in Rome.
Algernon has a very good character, and he is the person in charge of his trip to Norway. There is nothing wrong with showing off a little face.
"You speak our language? Oh my god!"
Algernon was shocked.
He had checked Han Qi's information before, but he had never seen anything saying that Han Qi studied Norwegian. How could he not only know it, but also speak it so well?
"It's nothing. I have two good friends from Oslo. I often chat with them, and gradually I get better at it. They used to say that my accent was Tromso-like, but I changed it later.
Already."
Algernon is from Tromso, and his accent is different from Han Qi's.
"It's enough to just chat..."
Algernon was speechless. This must be the Versailles literature that his girlfriend often talked about.
Why can't he believe it so much?
He was very grateful to Han Qi, but he still did not call his girlfriend to inform him. After all, he was picking up Han Qi directly to the Tromso City Hall, and it was not convenient to stop for any fan meeting in the middle.
If the leaders knew about it, would he still do his job?
The car was speeding along.
There is no ice on the roads in Norway in the summer. When it is not raining, this high-grade asphalt concrete surface is very suitable for cars to run at high speeds, and there are very few vehicles on the road. Driving on such a road is definitely more comfortable than China's highways.
There are many benefits to low population density.
Halfway through the drive, Han Qi took the initiative and asked, "How about you let me drive?"
He hadn't driven for a long time, and he felt a little itchy when he saw roads like this.
There are no side roads on this road. As long as you keep driving straight ahead and don't run around, you won't get lost. And you can switch to Algernon to drive again when you approach Tromso.
"May I?"
Algernon hadn't driven for such a long time in a long time. He was a little nervous and thought it would be good to sit down and rest for a while.
It’s also good to relax on your phone for ten minutes.
He asked: "Do you have an international driver's license? Although no one will check, sometimes the traffic manager will suddenly come to the intersection to check. Even if we see it in advance, it will be too late."
"No problem, I have my international driver's license with me."
He had already taken the exam.
Han Qi and Algernon changed places.
This is a Volvo car, with automatic transmission. Han Qi has never seen the specific model, but it looks very high-end. He is a racing driver, and he knows a little bit about modifying cars. There are so many family cars, and he can't do them all.
know.
When driving on the road, Han Qi conservatively chose to familiarize himself with the car's power since he didn't know the performance of the car.
Algernon put on his seat belt and joked: "You can drive pretty smoothly, but you can't reach Tromso in a few hours at this speed."
"……really."
Han Qi stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.
The Volvo's speed suddenly jumped forward a mile, and kept climbing, and soon reached the 130 miles that Algernon drove before.
Algernon was a little frightened.
He was confident about driving so fast. As a foreigner, Han Qi came to Norway and drove at such a speed. To be honest, Algernon was worried.
"Slow down, don't be in a hurry, or I'll do it."
People who sit in cars and people who drive have different feelings when facing the same speed.
With the performance of this car, driving for more than 100 miles is like playing. I don’t feel any sense of driving the car myself, but if I sit in the passenger seat and watch the scenery on both sides go by, it feels very exciting.
Already.
"It's okay, this car is nice."
"That's right." Algernon said proudly, "I hesitated for a long time before buying this car. I usually receive some foreign guests who come to Norway, but I rarely travel this far."
In the two months since he started working, he has received several people, all of whom were sent from the city to the airport.
But there was nothing he could do in the past few days. The airport was closed, and the leader demanded that Han Qi arrive in Tromso within these few days. He could only drive to the battle by himself... But that's fine, he could go home and see his girlfriend.
.
He gradually became familiar with this speed.
The main reason is that Han Qi drove too steadily and could not feel how fast he was going.
The scenery outside the window was still passing by, with an afterimage. Algernon always felt that Han Qi was speeding up again. He turned his head and looked at the speed displayed on the panel. Algernon's legs suddenly became weak.
More than two hundred!!!
Two hundred three, two hundred four.
Is this a Volvo?
He wanted to ask Han Qi to drive slower, but he opened his mouth and forgot how to speak... He occasionally drove 150 miles, which was considered drag racing for him, because the road conditions on this section of the road were really good.
The road is wide and has no obstacles, and there are no other cars on the road.
I have never experienced speeds above 200.
I was so nervous that I forgot how to speak, and I was afraid of disturbing the driver if I called Han Qi in other ways.
How dare he drive so fast?
Han Qi quickly noticed Algernon's pale face and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you alive?"
"I...I..."
He stared at me for a while, then calmed down and said: "Isn't the speed limit marked on this car 220? How did you manage to drive to 240? Please, stop looking at me, look at the road..."
"oh……"
Han Qi suddenly exclaimed, and then smiled, "How can such a good car have a top speed of only 220? As long as you dare to step on the accelerator, it will definitely exceed this speed, but that's all it can do. The highest estimate is only 240."
This speed is...a bit slow for him.
What kind of car was he driving? When he was taking the test for his racing license, he was driving a racing car. He went over 400 meters on the road in the training ground. Later, he ran over 200 meters in a rally race where the road conditions allowed. Where are you today?
Han Qi asked: "Have you never taken an express train before?"
"Does nbs count?"
"..."
nbs is the national railway of Norway. Han Qi took nbs when he came back from the airport.
"Of course not."
Han Qi paid attention to his condition while driving. When he saw that it did not continue to deteriorate, he said: "It's good to be familiar with it. This speed is nothing. Your car is very good and the road is also good."
"I, I, I feel a little dizzy."
Han Qi slowed down a little and asked: "I saw you were driving well just now, why..."
Han Qi also wanted to get to Tromso earlier. It takes more than an hour to fly, and you can imagine how long it will take to drive. If you keep taking your time, you may not be able to get there even after dark, and you will have to stay outside for one night. Secondly,
Only genius can arrive.
Who knows why...Algernon thought to himself.
I didn't realize it before, but after looking at the speedometer, all my senses became more sensitive, and the car that I thought was smooth before became trance-like.
At this time, Han Qi lowered his speed to 180.
Algernon gasped.
I guess it's not the car's condition that's the problem, but my own problem.
Then here comes the problem.
Why can Han Qi drive at such a speed without changing his expression, and even holding his cell phone in his left hand, ready to send messages at any time?
"Boss, what did you do before? Weren't you a designer or a painter?"
