I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 84 Everyone Loves Duvalo (Please collect, recommend, and read!!!)

"I heard your motorcycle was stolen?"

Chloe's laughter on the phone was particularly piercing.

"Ok!"

Liu Jin responded with a gloomy face.

"Where was it stolen?"

"Airport!"

"When?"

"It was around six in the morning. I left it there for an hour and a half, and when I came out, it was gone."

"Hahaha!"

"why are you laughing?"

"Nothing, sorry sorry."

"Your apology is a bit gloating."

"No, absolutely not... But I'm a little curious, what are you doing at the airport so early in the morning? I heard you're in a relationship?"

Liu Jin hung up the phone immediately.

He called Mela in the morning to tell her that his motorcycle was stolen, and accidentally let it slip that he had given it to a female classmate. Mela, who responded dazedly, immediately became alert and kept asking about the relationship between him and Deborah.

It was only noon when Ottilie called to comfort him (and ask for gossip).

Chloe called long distance from Spain...

It was also his fault for being careless. When he was calling Mela, Joan happened to pass by.

As a result, after one morning, many people in the school knew about it.

But the version keeps evolving.

It went from his motorcycle being stolen to his motorcycle being robbed.

Later, Liu Jin heard from Jimmy that he had offended the Toulouse gang and had to rush Deborah back to Brazil to avoid implicating her. However, on the way to the airport, he was intercepted by gang members and his motorcycle exploded.

……

"This version was definitely written by Americans."

"why?"

"This is so fucking Hollywood. It's just like the screenwriters of those Hollywood action movies."

"Hahaha, I think so too."

"Then you still ask me?"

Liu Jin looked at Xiao Heidan and his eyes suddenly turned.

"No, you couldn't have made up this version... Damn it, you know the story between Deborah and me best."

“How could that be, hahaha, it has nothing to do with me.

Oh, class has to start soon. I have to go to class."

His deceptive attitude was completely exposed.

Liu Jin was too lazy to ask any further questions.

Jimmy Rouse has been a little obsessed lately, probably because his books are so popular, so he's been thinking about writing a book every day.

But what is written are mostly third-rate plots written by third-rate Hollywood screenwriters.

It’s time to buy a car!

The money Mela gave him for the planning proposal made his wallet fatter again.

Otherwise, try to raise one million and three hundred thousand dollars?
However, the issue of taxes cannot be ignored.

The French tax authorities may not be as powerful as the Lighthouse Tax Authority, but they are not easy to deal with either.

Liu Jin thought about it and involuntarily came to the office door.

"Professor Dufresne?"

Dufresne was sitting in his office, devouring a French sandwich.

There was no one else in the office.

Seeing that it was Liu Jin, he waved to Liu Jin to come over.

"What's up?"

"Ok!"

Seeing that Liu Jin hesitated to speak, Du Fulan thought for a moment and then stood up.

"Let's talk somewhere else."

Liu Jin, of course there is nothing wrong with that.

It's late afternoon.

The sunshine in early spring is quite bright.

Toulouse has a Mediterranean climate and plenty of sunshine.

The reason why Airbus is located here is probably because Paris is too cold, and the climate here is very suitable.

Sitting down outside a small cafe, Liu Jin ordered two cups of coffee.

He's treating.

"Old Joe, I need your help."

"Borrow money?"

“No, no, no, it’s May, it’s almost tax season.

As you know, I have a good income this year, so I need to find someone to do my taxes, but I don’t know anyone I can trust.”

"This..."

Old Qiao was a top accountant by profession. He immediately understood what Liu Jin meant.

After thinking for a while, he took out a notebook and pen from his pocket, wrote a phone number on it, tore it off and handed it to Liu Jin.

"Raphael is my student. If he hadn't taken the wrong path, he would have become a great accountant now. But he is very reliable. You can go to him. He will help you with all financial matters, and it will be very safe."

No one wants to pay a large amount of tax for no reason.

If you paid, it must be because you are poor.

Rich people will use various means to avoid taxes.

Liu Jin put the number away, raised his coffee cup and clinked it with Lao Qiao.

"Thanks, Old Joe."

Old Joe smiled, obviously not taking the matter to heart.

The two of them drank coffee, basked in the sun, and chatted about literature.

Old Joe is indeed a literature lover, and he knows a lot about French literature.

He likes The Red and the Black and believes that Stendhal is the greatest writer in French history.

"What about you?"

"I like Romain Rolland, and my favorite work is Jean-Christophe. It's very powerful."

"I would also like."

Old Joe laughed.

"But my favorite hero is still Julien."

"It's all right. I prefer Duvalo."

"Um……"

Old Joe pondered for a long time.

After a while, he laughed and said, "French men all like Mr. Duvallo, hahahaha!"

Duvalot is the hero in Maupassant's "Belle Amigos".

A little man who has constant romantic encounters goes from being in poverty to being successful. In this process, the thing he lacks the least is women.

Baroness, tycoon's wife, editor's wife, tycoon's daughter...

How literary would you say it is?

Well, very high.

It's so high that all men would envy Duvalo's experience.

……

Deborah is gone.

Liu Jin's life returned to its previous state.

Typing and attending classes.

Occasionally I go to the boxing gym to exercise and practice boxing.

After boxing, I will follow the students in the boxing gym to find a bar to relax.

Sometimes he treats, sometimes others treat.

After a few times, Liu Jin's popularity in the boxing gym has become better and better.

Meanwhile, at school.

Liu Jin is gaining more and more attention.

He held the top spot for the seventh consecutive week.

Two months after the release of "Amelie", sales exceeded 200,000 copies, attracting the attention of the French literary world.

However, according to Mela's analysis, sales will start to fall next.

Weekly sales of 83,000 copies were already the peak.

New books released at the beginning of the year have also begun to gain momentum, with "Platform" being the most popular.

To put it bluntly, it is just an SQ novel disguised as an exploration of human nature.

Who says the French are elegant?
Go watch a Marc Dorcel movie, it's pretty freaking brutal!
Like Michel's "Elementary Particles", "Platform" has triggered a large-scale discussion in the French literary world.

But the common people love to watch it, and there is nothing they can do about it...

Seeing that the sales of "Platform" exceeded 20,000 in a week, you can tell how much the French like it.

But, for "Amelie", the impact is not significant.

However, Michelle repeatedly provoked Liu Jin in the newspaper, and her words became more and more intense.

Andre called specifically to ask Liu Jin to remain silent for the time being.

Because his interview will be divided into two parts and will be published next week!

……

Liu Jin went to Paris on the weekend.

He came to Notre Dame again alone.

Tour alone, stroll alone.

The next day he found a priest of Notre Dame and asked him to take him to the bell tower on the west wall.

He listened to the priest's introduction.

In my mind, the scene of Notre Dame de Paris kept appearing.

Scenes emerged in his mind...

His thoughts became clearer and clearer!
