Chapter 382 Sir, do you know Scola?

After chatting a lot, Xia Yunjie knew that the young man's name was Xie Simeng. Now he usually goes back to China once or twice. His grandparents are still in China. His father came to Italy twenty years ago, and his mother came fifteen years ago. At that time, Chinese restaurants were just starting out and they didn't have the energy to take care of their son, so before he was five years old, he lived in China with his grandparents, and he also learned Mandarin at that time.

After he was five years old, his parents brought him to Italy. He went to a local kindergarten and learned the local language. Now he can speak Chinese and has a little English in Italian. However, because he did not learn Chinese properly, he can only speak but can't recognize words and write.

Xie Simeng's family is still Chinese, but because they have been in Italy for a long time, they can sign a free return visa for five to ten years at a time, which is convenient.

While speaking, an Italian woman who was not bad at the age of about 23 or 24 entered the carriage to check the ticket. Xia Yunjie handed her the ticket, but was told that his ticket was not punched, which was the ticket check when entering the country. The woman told Xia Yunjie to fine forty euros.

"I took the train from Rome to Florence and did not ask for holes to be drilled before getting on the train, but the ticket inspector did not say that I violated the regulations. Why did the holes be drilled again?" Xia Yunjie asked in confusion.

"The last time you took the high-speed train, one ticket, and if you miss it, it will be invalid. But this is a slow train, there is no location regulations, and the ticket is valid for several months, so you can take it at any time. If you don't punch holes on the automatic ticket checking machine, we can't know if you are reusing it. Look, there is a reminder behind this ticket." The ticket inspector looked at Xia Yunjie with a hint of questioning.

Obviously, although her words were tactful, the meaning was that they were very obvious, which was to suspect that Xia Yunjie would evade the ticket.

Xia Yunjie looked through his train tickets and found that there were indeed a few lines of very small English words written on the back, reminding him that holes were needed, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Different countries and cultures are indeed different. In China, people used to check tickets for you before boarding the train, but Xia Yunjie didn't see the ticket checkers at all. He thought that everyone here was following the rules, so there was no ticket checking procedure. Unexpectedly, he needed to drill holes by himself, and the validity period of the train ticket was very long. However, the front of the Italian train tickets was written in Italian, not even in English. Xia Yunjie never thought about it carefully, so he made a misunderstanding.

Although the ticket inspector's questioning made Xia Yunjie a little unhappy, since it was because of his negligence that violated other people's regulations, Xia Yunjie could only abide by other people's regulations and prepared to accept the punishment.

Forty euros are equivalent to a day's work pay for ordinary Italians. Xia Yunjie doesn't care about the money. Xie Simeng felt distressed and hurriedly explained to the ticket inspector in Italy.

Although Xia Yunjie couldn't understand Italian, he could roughly guess that Xie Simeng was telling the ticket inspector that he was a tourist coming to Italy. He didn't know this rule and did not want to evade tickets.

But obviously the communication was not very smooth, because in the end Xie Simeng shrugged helplessly and said to Xia Yunjie: "She said that although she believed you didn't mean it, she still had to fine you. However, taking care of you as a foreigner without knowing it, she could only punish you half, that is, twenty yuan, and I can only help you so much."

Xie Simeng's words surprised Xia Yunjie. What was unexpected was not that the ticket inspector finally took a step back, but that Xie Simeng was able to negotiate with adults in a very independent manner when dealing with such things at a young age and finally obtained some "discounts".

"This is already very good. You can help me save back both Chinese and dinner money." Xia Yunjie smiled and took out his money clip and prepared to pay.

"Aida, this gentleman definitely did not evade tickets on purpose. You don't have to grab him and let him go." Just as Xia Yunjie was about to pay, an old man sitting diagonally opposite him suddenly said to the ticket inspector in Italian.

"Grandpa, how did you know that he must have evaded the ticket on purpose?" asked the woman, known as Aida, the ticket inspector.

"That person is the grandfather of this ticket inspector. He is talking to you. Maybe things will turn around." Xie Simeng couldn't help but explain to Xia Yunjie in a low voice when he saw the old man helping Xia Yunjie speak.

Xia Yunjie also guessed that the old man was talking to him. He couldn't help but look at the old man curiously. He was really a little surprised why he wanted to talk to him. He remembered that he didn't know this Italian old man.

"Because he was wearing clothes that Scola personally designed and made for him," the old man said.

"Scola, are you talking about your former colleague Scola? How is this possible?" Aida obviously knew who Scola was, and her eyes widened when she heard this.

Her grandfather used to be a tailor, but never showed his strength in the fashion industry. Now he retires and retires at home. However, one of his colleagues is now at the top of his head in the fashion industry and is a true master. Countless high-class nobles and socialites want him to have a clothing designed and made by himself but cannot. Her grandfather's colleague is Scola, the director of Guqi's fashion design. Of course, the two have a huge difference in identity and have almost no contact, but his family still has a photo of him and Scola when he was young, and they also like to talk to people about him and Scola. This is his pride.

A passenger who can wear clothes designed and made by Scola himself will certainly not care about this ticket worth a few dozen euros.

Of course, what Aida was even more surprised was that how could Scola design clothes for a person of her age like Xia Yunjie, and the other party was still a Chinese? You should know that with a status like Scola, he rarely personally designs or makes clothes for someone. And celebrities and nobles in Italy and even around the world are all proud of owning a piece of clothes Scola personally designed for her or him. In other words, wearing clothes Scola personally designed for her or him has become a symbol of identity. Now, Xia Yunjie, a young man who was suspected of evading tickets, was actually wearing clothes designed and made for him by Scola.

"I understand Scola so much. He likes to leave his own mark on the right sleeve or right trouser leg of the clothing he made. A very small "," it is difficult to find if you don't pay attention. This mark will only be known to those who really know him. And don't you think this gentleman's clothes are natural and elegant to wear?" Aida's grandfather explained, with a hint of complacency and pride on his face that revealed the truth.

According to his grandfather's words, Aida stared at Xia Yunjie's right sleeve carefully and found a letter "" that was very close to the color of the material of the clothes, but with a little difference. If no one specifically reminded this letter and looked carefully, it would be impossible to notice it.

"Do you know a person named Scola? It seems that he was a colleague of this old Italian man before." Xie Simeng obviously didn't pay much attention to the fashion industry. Of course, this was related to his age, gender and industry. He had never heard of Scola's name and secretly said to Xia Yunjie after hearing this.

"Yes, it's a tailor." Xia Yunjie nodded with a smile.

"That's right. The old man said that the clothes you were made by Scola for you, and his sleeves were marked, so he recognized them. But to be honest, your clothes are really good and look very handsome." Xie Simeng showed such an expression and whispered.

"Why do you like it?" Xia Yunjie felt a little moved when he heard this and asked with a smile.

"Yes." Xie Simeng nodded.

"If you really like it, I will call Scola later and ask him to design a set for you and let him taste your Chinese food. I think he should be happy." Xia Yunjie smiled, thinking of the benefits of celebrities.

Xie Simeng knew how to help himself enthusiastically at a young age. Although it was only twenty euros, Xia Yunjie still accepted his affection very much. If Scolla could be brought to their restaurant for dinner, it would have caused some sensation.

"No, no, please ask a special tailor to customize clothes, which is very expensive." Xie Simeng waved his hand in a panic and said in a hurry when he heard this.

"It's okay, Scola and I are friends. He will definitely be happy to design and make clothes for you for free. You just need to provide him with a Chinese meal." Xia Yunjie smiled.

"Our family runs a Chinese restaurant, so there is absolutely no problem. I will also have a few special dishes and I will cook and entertain him in person." Xie Simeng was so happy when he heard that it was free customization and hurriedly said.

"Sir, do you know Scola?" As soon as Xie Simeng finished speaking, Aida finally came to her senses and asked in a low and polite manner. Her eyes at Xia Yunjie also changed significantly.

"Yes, I'm a friend." Xia Yunjie nodded.

"Aha, you are indeed Scola's friend. I am Scola's former colleague, my name is Bernardo. Is Scola okay recently? I haven't met him for a long time." Seeing Xia Yunjie nodding and admitting, Old Bernardo couldn't help but get up excitedly and shake hands with Xia Yunjie, with a sudden glory on his face.

"He is pretty good, he is still as romantic as before." Xia Yunjie shook hands with Bernardo.

"This old pervert" Bernardo smiled and cursed, then pointed at Aida and said, "This is my granddaughter Aida. I think you must have had a misunderstanding between you just now, but now the misunderstanding has passed."

"No, this is caused by my negligence. Miss Aida gave a 50% discount. I am already very grateful." Xia Yunjie smiled and waved his hand, then took out twenty euros and handed it to Aida.
