After seeing off Jacques Saunière, William walked slowly to the Champs-Elysees with a mask on his face. It would be unreasonable if he didn't walk around the Champs-Elysees when he was in Paris. Moreover, William hadn't bought a gift for his mother since he became rich.
He walked past the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe. It took him about 20 minutes to walk to the Champs-Elysees.
Since he had a lot of time, William strolled around the stores one by one except for the women's clothing stores. Finally, he bought a sky blue watch for himself at Patek Philippe for more than 1 million dollars and a diamond watch for his mother for more than 3 million dollars.
After paying for the Swiss National Bank's black gold card under the manager's respectful gaze, William took the new Patek Philippe, the Vacheron Constantin watch and the watch that he had given to his mother. When he went out, he put them into the storage space while no one was paying attention.
It was already past 5 pm when he left the Patek Philippe store. The sky was getting dark, and the streets were lit up with bright lights. Touching the new watch in his hand, William was secretly happy. Spending 4 million dollars was like spending 4 yuan in his previous life. It was so cool.
Walking on the street, there were tour guides taking tourists from different countries to sightsee from time to time. After walking past the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower was not far away. The Eiffel Tower looked very spectacular under the lights at night. If it was during the day, many people would be disappointed. There was nothing to see.
William saw a lot of people lining up to buy Mexican scallion pancakes at the roadside stall near the Eiffel Tower. He bought one out of curiosity. However, after a few bites, William was gasping for breath and almost tearing up. He hurriedly went to the roadside cafe and ordered a fruit juice to drink.
Sitting on an outdoor chair and drinking a few mouthfuls of fruit juice comfortably, he suddenly heard the Hong Kong language. He turned around and saw a Chinese beauty sitting on a chair not far from him, drinking coffee and eating snacks. She was laughing and laughing with a Chinese middle-aged man.
"Brother Hua, do you see that handsome mixed-blood guy? Haha, I'm dying of laughter. Look at how embarrassed he is after being spiced. Ah, he's looking over. Could it be that he understands Hong Kong language? Oh no, Brother Hua, let's go, he's coming over."
When the man called Brother Hua saw William walking over, he looked at his companion speechlessly. What a blabbermouth! He didn't expect to bump into Li Zi who came to France to relax because he was in a bad mood when he came to France to look at red wine. The two of them sat in an open-air café beside the Eiffel Tower and saw a handsome mixed-race guy panting because of the spiciness of the burrito. Li Zi didn't laugh at him for long before the handsome mixed-race guy walked towards them.
When Brother Hua saw William walking over, he quickly stood up and apologized in unskilled English. His pronunciation made William frown.
William directly said in the language of the Great Celestial Empire, "Hello, Mr. Liu, I can speak the language of the Celestial Empire and Hong Kong."
When Brother Hua heard William's standard language of the Celestial Empire, he knew that things were bad. The young man in front of him really understood what they said. He quickly apologized and said, "Sorry, I apologize to you on behalf of my companion."
William looked at Liu Tianwang with a smile. He just felt that this person looked familiar from afar. When he walked closer, he saw that it was really Liu Tianwang. William also recognized the beauty beside him.
Seeing Liu Tianwang looking at him apologetically, William smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to denounce you. Beauties have privileges. Let me introduce myself. My name is William Devonshire. Nice to meet you, Mr. Liu."
Liu Tianwang looked at William in surprise. This foreigner's language of the Great Celestial Empire was really standard. He even knew the idiom of denouncing. Liu Tianwang said in his somewhat vague language of the Great Celestial Empire, "I'm also very happy to meet you, Mr. Devonshire."
This is Mandarin? That's right. Old Liu's Mandarin is really not good at this time.
"Well, Mr. Liu, let's talk in Hong Kong. God, you are really from the Great Celestial Empire. Your Mandarin is not as good as mine. And you can call me William."
Liu Tianwang was a little helpless about his Mandarin. Listening to William's ridicule, he said self-deprecatingly, "Hey, I didn't expect to be laughed at by a foreigner like you because of my Mandarin in France. It seems that I really have to learn Mandarin when I go back. If I encounter this situation again, it will be too embarrassing." After that, Liu Tianwang asked William to sit down.
Hearing Liu Tianwang's self-deprecating words, William laughed. Liu Tianwang was indeed a king. In the blink of an eye, he resolved the awkwardness. He turned to the beauty who was embarrassed to talk to him and said, "Hello, Miss Li. I've seen your bewitching movie. I didn't expect Miss Li to be so beautiful in person."
Li Zi asked in surprise, "No way. That's a movie from five years ago. Is that movie also available in France?"
William looked at the young stutterer and said with a smile, "I forgot to tell you that I'm an Englishman, a Chinese-English hybrid. My father is from Shanghai, and my mother is from England. So although I grew up in England, I know the culture of the Great Four Classics very well. I've read the novels of Mr. Jin and Mr. Gu Long."
When Li Zi heard William say that he had read the novels of Mr. Jin and Mr. Gu Long, he said in surprise, "You grew up in England, and you've read the novels of Mr. Jin and Mr. Gu Long? You're lying. I haven't read the Great Four Classics. Can you understand them?"
William laughed and casually said some famous stories in the Journey to the West and the Three Kingdoms, which shocked Liu Tianwang and the little stutterer. The three of them drank coffee and chatted casually. After chatting for half an hour, William finally told them the reason why he had approached Liu Tianwang.
William told them the whole movie in his memory. William was quite eloquent. Liu Tianwang and the little stutterer were soon attracted by William's story. After the story was finished, William said to Liu Tianwang, who was still in deep thought, "Brother Liu, what do you think of this story?"
"It's very good. I want to act in it. William, this is really a story that you came up with."
William thought that of course it was not his original work, but this time and space were only in the year 00. The script of the Infernal Affairs must not have come out in this world yet. So William said shamelessly, "Of course, do I need to lie to you? I've already registered the script. "
This guy was lying through his teeth. He did not register the script at all. He only came up with the idea when he met Liu Tianwang today. But after today, he would definitely register the script immediately.
Because he had to meet Jacques Saunière at 8 o 'clock, William and the other two exchanged phone numbers and shook hands with each other.
On the way to Monica Café, William wondered if he could set up his own movie company and film some secret agent movies from his previous life. He wondered if he could film the special events that he had experienced in this world.
It took him about ten minutes to walk back to the café and order dinner.
After he finished eating and drinking a cup of coffee, it was already 8: 40. Jacques Saunière was still not there. Today was Monday, and the Louvre closed at 6 o 'clock. It had been almost three hours, and Jacques Saunière was still not there.
He took out his phone and dialed Jacques Saunière's number. It took almost 30 seconds for the call to go through.
"Who is this?" A French voice came from the phone.
During William's three months in Switzerland, he had learned German, French, and Italian from the Swiss traders. Thus, William was still able to converse with them.
He said in French, "Hello, I'm William Devonshire. I'm looking for Professor Jacques Saunière. I have an appointment with him at Café Monica at 8 o 'clock, but the professor is still not there. Is the professor there?"
"William Devonshire, WDS for short?"
William said, "Yes, sir. Can you let the professor on the phone? It's been almost an hour since the appointment. "
"William Devonshire, you're at Café Monica, the one outside the Louvre?" The person on the phone did not answer William's question, but asked directly.
Who was on the other end of the phone? So rude. It sounded arrogant.
"Yes, please let the professor on the phone, sir." William was angry. I'm not looking for you.
"Very well, I know. Please stay in the café and don't move. I'll go find you." Then he hung up.
William looked at his phone furiously. Did this b * stard eat gunpowder? Why was he so arrogant?
