Chapter 508: Chapter 305: Night Paris, the Godfather, the Unbridled Lin Chu

Lin Chu and Gao Haitao chatted as they walked, their thoughts gradually drifting.

The bodyguards following behind them were also lost in thought.

’This big boss is really something else, isn’t he?’

’He’s on another level!’

They had all been assigned to work here from their home country. Before the company was acquired by LC Group, their salary had been around six thousand euros.

That was considered a high salary for the area.

After LC Group’s acquisition, not a single person had resigned.

The reason was simple.

Everyone’s monthly salary had increased to varying degrees. Even the lowest-paid employee’s salary had been raised to ten thousand euros.

They knew their new boss was generous, but listening to the conversation between President Lin and President Gao now, they realized... ’we were being too conservative.’

’Way too conservative!’

Casually buying a sports team... That kind of power...

"What the fuck!"

"Why is there so much dog shit on the streets of Paris!"

Lin Chu suddenly exclaimed. He had spotted a fresh, runny pile at the entrance to an alley ahead, swarming with flies.

It was less than two hundred meters from the bustling main road.

Gao Haitao was taken aback for a moment, then found himself at a loss for whether to laugh or cry.

Er...

He had seen the same thing on his last inspection visit to the Paris branch, and the image had left a deep impression.

However, the local employees were clearly quite used to it.

He turned to look back at one of the bodyguards.

"President Lin, haha, this... this is just how Paris is. There are a lot of inconsiderate people. The main issue is that the public restrooms are too expensive—it’s two euros per use."

"The wealthy naturally don’t care, but two euros isn’t a small amount. That’s fifteen yuan."

"Spending fifteen yuan just to use the toilet once is pretty extravagant."

The bodyguard explained with a smile.

"What the hell is wrong with their municipal services?"

Lin Chu was too exasperated to even complain properly. He took out a tissue, covered his nose, and hurried past.

"They probably can’t keep up. After all, local labor is too expensive. If they offered two thousand yuan a month like back home, absolutely no one would apply."

"But if they offer too much, they can’t afford it."

"Add in all the various immigrants, and over time, it just ended up like this."

"You definitely won’t see this in the wealthy districts, though. They hire their own cleaning staff and don’t rely on public services provided by the government."

The bodyguard explained in detail again.

It was a developed country, after all.

High wages and high welfare benefits.

There were always pros and cons. The price was a shortage of many blue-collar jobs.

Lin Chu listened to his explanation and nodded thoughtfully but didn’t say much more.

Although it was a foul sight, this was a systemic problem and nearly impossible to solve.

He couldn’t be bothered to worry about it for them.

He was just venting a little.

He continued walking forward.

By the Seine River, a group of men and women were dancing. There were some middle-aged people, but it was mostly old men and women, all dancing joyfully to the soothing, melodic music.

It seemed no different from the "plaza dancing" back home.

"Are there any sights here you can’t see back home? Come on, take me to see them."

"Since we’re already here."

Lin Chu said with a casual smile.

It wasn’t that he was dead set on finding that kind of nightlife.

But since he was here, it wouldn’t hurt to experience it and broaden his horizons.

After all, he once had a goal of traveling the world.

He still hadn’t fully completed it; it just no longer took up all of his time.

’This current lifestyle is basically a vacation anyway.’

’And a very in-depth one at that.’

The best way to travel, of course, was to get deeply involved in the local economic life.

Take his meeting with Liszt in a few days, for example...

Lin Chu had even bought a snowboard. If the meeting with Liszt went smoothly, he would go hit the slopes in the Alps afterward.

If it didn’t go smoothly, he would go anyway, just to blow off some steam.

"I don’t know much about the nightlife here. Whoever does, feel free to make a recommendation."

"President Lin drinks and doesn’t mind bars, but they have to be high-class."

"Parties are fine too."

"Just don’t recommend any of those low-class places."

Gao Haitao turned back and explained with a smile. He had a pretty good understanding of Lin Chu’s tastes.

From being Lin Chu’s driver to his current position, he had witnessed Lin Chu’s complete transformation.

Now, Lin Chu had become quite "discerning."

When it came to nightlife, he didn’t like the kind you paid for directly.

It was all about enjoying the atmosphere and the thrill of the hunt.

Of course, if he met someone special, Lin Chu certainly wouldn’t play coy.

"Okay."

"How about we go to the Moulin Rouge? It’s a performance bar with waltzes, song and dance shows, and acrobatics."

"We’ve been there before. The atmosphere is great, and it’s a lot of fun. Lots of beautiful women in very skimpy outfits."

Another bodyguard, who was tall and handsome, introduced with a smile.

Honestly, when it came to partying hard, foreigners really knew how to do it.

And they did it out in the open.

"President Lin?"

Gao Haitao looked at Lin Chu.

Lin Chu nodded with a smile. "Let’s go."

Night Paris.

The phrase suddenly popped into his mind, and Lin Chu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

The first thing that phrase brought to mind were those hair salons with the little pink lights, the kind from decades ago.

That was the glamorous image of Paris imagined back home during that era.

...

Led by the bodyguard, they cut through a small alley and headed toward the Moulin Rouge.

It wasn’t far from the Moulin Rouge.

Probably less than a kilometer away.

As they entered the alley, the bodyguards instantly grew vigilant. They turned on their lights, partly to check for anyone hiding in the shadows, and partly to scan the ground for any "landmines."

"What kind of route is this?"

Gao Haitao turned and scolded.
