Early the next morning, I received a call from Mark, who said he had parked at the pier not far from the hotel. At the moment I was eating breakfast in the room, I quickly finished the milk in my hand, then got up and left the hotel.
From a long distance, I saw Mark standing on the edge of the pier and waving to me. Standing beside him was a fat, white man whose grade was not as high as his.
When Mark saw me coming, he hurriedly introduced the fat man next to me: "This is my brother Lu Qi, just leave him alone on land!"
"Hello, Mr. Lu Qi, my name is Liu." I didn't say my name, because my name is too famous, but if I didn't say it, few people would recognize me. I am from the business world. Except for those media reporters or those in related industries, ordinary people know my name Liu Lei, but they can't remember what I look like! Not to mention foreigners like them, in their eyes, orientals all look alike, just like we look at foreigners!
"Mr. Liu, I'm glad to serve you!" Lu Qi said with a smile.
"Hehe, you don't have to be so polite. I'm a little embarrassed that you two are here to accompany me. Mr. Lu Qi, you can go to business first, and I'll call you when you need it!" I exchanged greetings with him. .
"You're welcome, this is what I should do! I've already scolded my brother, he charged you twice the normal amount, so it's not too much for the two of us to serve you!" Lu Qi said.
"Is that so?" I looked at Mark with a half-smile.
"Hehe, I'm sorry..." Mark looked at me embarrassedly.
"It's nothing. Do you want to do business? As a buyer, since I agree to your price, it means I have approved it!" I shook my head and said, "On the contrary, I still have a lot of things to trouble you!"
"Help!" said Mark.
I got into Mark's boat, while Lu Qi parked the car in front of the hotel and was ready to call at any time. As long as I need him, he will show up at the destination as quickly as possible!
"Mr. Liu, where are we going now?" Mark started the boat, then turned his head and asked me.
where to? To be honest, I don't have any specific destination, I don't know where Yang Mei is. If I knew this earlier, I should have left a spiritual imprint on her in the first place. Since Meng Qingqing's accident last time, I have put a spiritual brand on each of my women, so that I can know where they are at any time, and I can rush to them as soon as possible when they are in danger!
I thought about it, Meng Qingqing is most likely to go to some scenic spots, so I said to Mark: "Well, are there any famous scenic spots or amusement places near here? Take me around!"
"Okay, St. Mark's Square and St. Mark's Basilica nearby are very famous. This is the most elite and prosperous area in Venice!" Mark introduced.
I don't know Yang Mei's play habits, so I can only look for it aimlessly, but this is the only way I can think of so far!
"Then let's go to that St. Mark's Square to have a look!" I nodded and said.
"Well, let's go back to the shore now. St. Mark's Square is not far from here. I'll ask Lu Qi to drive you there!" Mark said.
"Forget it, since it's not far away, let's just walk and treat it as a walk!" I said indifferently.
"Okay, then I'll accompany you there!" Mark nodded.
First of all, I want to take a stroll around here. Although the chance of meeting Yang Mei is very small, it is not impossible, so I would rather try my luck!
There are not many Chinese on the street, so I can easily find the target without deliberately looking for it. However, there are a few Chinese people I met, but there is no Yang Mei!
All the way to St. Mark's Basilica, I didn't find that familiar figure. The church is located on one side of St. Mark's Square. It is surrounded by shops and opposite is a museum. After I've been to church, and after a quick tour of the boutiques and museums, I'm ready to leave.
Mark who was beside me saw my behavior very strangely: "I said man, why are you in such a hurry, you didn't look at a lot of things carefully, and you didn't take pictures as souvenirs, what is the old saying in your place, by the way, It’s just looking at the flowers on horseback, why don’t you look like you’re out for sightseeing!”
I knew that Mark would find out sooner or later, and what I was going to do was not shady, and I had nothing to hide, so I said: "Actually, I have already said that I am here for some private matters, and there is no need Without telling you, I came here to find my girlfriend!"
"Looking for a girlfriend?" Mark was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Oh, I understand, don't argue with me, she came here by herself, and then you came to find her, am I right?"
"Almost!" I smiled, not wanting to tell him about Yang Mei's illness.
"There are not too many Chinese here, so how about it, do you have a picture of her? Show me, and I can help you find it together!" Mark said.
"There are some photos, but I didn't bring them with me. When I go back to the hotel, I can ask my family to send them over the Internet, and then go to the photo studio to make a few copies!" A person is stronger!
"Okay, let Lu Qi also take a copy, so that he can drive around while waiting, maybe some miracle will happen!" Mark said.
Thinking of this, Mark and I immediately went back to the hotel where I was staying, and he called Lu Qi over.
As soon as I got back to the hotel, I called Liu Yue.
"How is it, husband, is there any news about Yang Mei?" Liu Yue asked impatiently as soon as she saw my phone number.
"Not yet, please, I just came here for a day, how can I find it so easily! By the way, do you have a photo of Yang Mei?" I asked.
"Photos? What's the use?" Liu Yue asked.
"Hehe, it's like this. I hired a local driver, and I'm going to give him a copy of the photo, and let him keep an eye on it for me!" I explained.
"So it's like this, this idea is good, just wait, I'll find it for you right away, and then send it to your mailbox!" Liu Yue said.
In 1999, there may not be many hotels in China that can access the Internet, but the hotel I live in has opened the Internet service, and you can surf the Internet as long as you plug in your laptop.
I checked my mailbox immediately, and although there were several unread letters, there was no one from Liu Yue. Maybe you haven't received it yet.
At this time, the intercom phone in the room rang, and I picked it up. It turned out that it was from the main station, saying that a gentleman came to me and asked if I could call him up. I knew that Lu Qi was here, so I quickly told the main station to let him go.
After a while, Lu Qi opened the door and walked in. "Hey, why are you back? Are you not going out?"
"No, actually it's like this..." Mark told Lu Qi about me.
"Girlfriend? Is your girlfriend also from China?" Lu Qi asked after hearing this.
"Yes, of course." I nodded.
"I drove a few guests the day before yesterday, and they are also from China, but it seems that they are traveling with a family, so they should not be your girlfriend." Lu Qi said to himself.
"What!" I was surprised when I heard Lu Qi's words: "One family? Three people?"
"Yeah, what's the matter? Is there any problem?" Lu Qi didn't understand why I was so excited.
"My girlfriend should have come with her parents! So there are three people!" I said quickly, "Where did they get in the car? Where did they get off?"
"They are cars on the Rialto Bridge, and their destination is St. Mark's Church." Lu Qi thought for a while and said.
"Rialto Bridge? Is it a place name? Is there a hotel nearby?" I seemed to have caught a glimmer of hope.
"The Rialto Bridge is also a scenic spot, just a bridge, and there don't seem to be any hotels nearby..." Lu Qi shook his head.
So this is ah! I sighed in disappointment, and suddenly thought that I still have a photo of Yang Mei, I should ask Lu Qi to confirm, if Yang Mei is really in Venice, then I will have greater confidence in finding it!
I refreshed my "inbox" and found that Liu Yue's letter had been sent! I opened the email, downloaded the picture attachment to my notebook, and opened the picture.
This is a life photo taken by Yang Mei when she was working in the company. On it, Yang Mei is sitting at the computer desk, sorting out a document, with a calm smile on her face.
"That's right! It's her! I remember her!" Lu Qi suddenly shouted, pointing at the photo on the computer.
