I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 11 Backbone

"So, you're going to move out and live on your own next January, is that what you mean?"

There is a restaurant specializing in Turkish kebabs on Las Cross Street, where Toulouse Business School is located.

To be honest, the taste is a bit bland.

But the hotel's waiters are very nice, they are all students from Toulouse Business School.

Liu Jin and his four companions chose to sit by the window.

Originally, I didn’t plan to call Liu Sisi.

But when Liu Sisi saw them together, she followed them.

Liu Jin told his plan.

"It's mainly my personal habit, and has nothing to do with Yueyue.

I need a quiet environment. That apartment... is terrible. It's small and depressing. I didn't want to live there in the first place, but the school has already booked it. If I refuse, it doesn't matter to me, but it might have some impact on you. So I agreed to stay. But I need a quiet and independent environment."

"What do you want to do?"

"Well, this is my personal matter."

"What about Yueyue?"

Dadong asked seriously.

Sun Yue, on the other hand, felt a little aggrieved and had tears in his eyes.

Wasn’t yesterday great?

How come we have to live separately in the blink of an eye?

"I have my plan."

Liu Jin didn't say what the plan was, and there was no need to say it. Even if he told Dadong and the others, they wouldn't believe it.

"Here's what I'm thinking: Your place is bigger, so after three months, have Yueyue move in. That way, the three of you can split the rent. I remember Xiao Qiao said your rent is 2400. If Yueyue moves in, each of you only needs to pay ... You can save , and Yueyue can also save .

how about it? "

Liu Jin directly points out the problem that most international students have to face: expenses!

Dadong seemed indifferent, he had no shortage of money.

But Yang Dongqi perked up.

Even Sun Yue fell into deep thought.

"Besides, it's reassuring to have Yueyue with you. Brother Dongqi can teach him French, and Brother Dong can take care of him."

"But I have to return to my country after a year."

Dadong said seriously.

But Liu Jin smiled.

"After a year, if Yueyue still can't be independent, then let him go back too.

When studying abroad, we are all students, and no one is anyone else's father. Besides, it's not like I don't care about him. He's still in school, and if he needs help, I can help. In short, I don't dislike Yueyue, I just need some independent space."

"If that's the case, I have no problem with that."

Dadong and the other man thought about it and agreed.

And Sun Yue's feeling seemed to no longer be so resistant.

"So, Jin-ge, what are you going to do living alone?"

Liu Sisi couldn't help but ask.

Liu Jin glanced at her, thought for a moment, and said with a smile, "Pick up girls."

"what?"

Yang Dongqi and Dadong couldn't help laughing.

Even Sun Yue curled his lips.

Only Liu Sisi had a look of loss in her eyes.

Stinky man!
……

"You're really out of ideas?"

After sending Liu Sisi back to the apartment, the four of them strolled along the Garonne River.

The Garonne River is the mother river of Toulouse.

At night, colorful lights flicker on the river, and the air is filled with a dreamy atmosphere.

There are many streetwalkers along the street.

From time to time a car would stop, and after a few words through the car window, either the car would leave or the prostitute would get in.

They were all dressed very revealingly.

Shivering in the October night in Toulouse.

"They are all girls from Eastern Europe, but you'd better not mess with them, there are people behind them."

Liu Jin glanced at Sun Yue, who was attracted by the streetwalker, and said coldly: "When the time comes, I'll set you up with a honey trap. You won't even have time to cry."

“The police don’t care?”

"Haha, hahaha, the French police..."

Liu Jin sneered twice, turned to Dadong and said, "It was just a momentary hormonal impulse, and now it's subsided. You should know very well what the girls who come here are thinking... There will be no result, you and I know it very well."

"what!"

Dadong slapped Liu Jin on the shoulder.

He was photographed with his teeth bared.

Yang Dongqi also smiled and said softly: "It's good that Xiaojin can react. We just need to take care of ourselves."

Sun Yue, on the other hand, still had that clear, foolish smile on his face.

He actually didn't quite understand.

But it doesn’t matter!

His three brothers would not harm him.

……

In this way, Liu Jin once again began his study abroad career.

But unlike back then, he now has his own goals.

Apart from attending classes, he spent most of his time hiding in the library next to the main teaching building.

There are two computers here, and they are connected to the Internet.

The most important thing is that there are few people here.

It doesn't matter who occupies the computer and uses it, there won't be much dispute.

The computers in the school computer room can also be used.

But it's not as quiet as here.

It's also very convenient when you need to look up information. The library isn't very large, with about 10,000 to 20,000 books. They cover a wide range of French literature and history. Of course, the majority are economics books, as this is a business school after all. There's also a variety of newspapers. (Image)

Ha, what an old-fashioned feeling.

Twenty years later, almost no one will read newspapers, and most people will get news from the outside world through the Internet and mobile phones.

My horizons have been broadened!
But at the same time, it also makes people impetuous.

At least, that's how Liu Jin felt.

The library's newspapers cover mainstream French newspapers.

Le Monde, Le Figaro, Libération, L'Echo, Le Parisien...

Liu Jin even found L'Humanité, a newspaper published by the French Communist Party.

It is indeed the land of revolutionary pioneers. When anti-communism became the mainstream consciousness throughout Europe, the daily sales of Humanité could still reach about 20.

This also made Liu Jin feel very interesting.

……

During this period, Liu Jin was asked to apply for residence and medical insurance together with other international students.

However, the efficiency of the French is really not commendable.

After submitting the application, it will take a week to receive it.

This also means that you have to go through it again.

Liu Jin had no choice, this was the national situation.

There's no such thing as dedication here.

Leave after get off work and fool around at work.

The attitudes of those gwy people are just so-so, neither hot nor cold, and most of them are middle-aged and elderly people, which doesn't seem very attractive.

If this happened in the country...

No wonder some people later said: In Europe and the United States, first-class talents go into business, second-class talents go into politics, and third-class talents are civil servants.

"Brother Jin, what have you been busy with lately?"

After submitting the application, Sun Yue grabbed Liu Jin who was about to slip away.

"You're nowhere to be seen except in class. You don't talk much in class... You come home late at night."

"Yeah, what are you busy with?"

Dadong was also very curious.

Liu Jin is really too difficult to catch.

As soon as the get out of class is over, he disappears.

Even Sun Yue could only say a few words to Liu Jin in the morning, and couldn't even find him at other times.

"I'm in the library."

"Library? Which floor is it?"

Liu Sisi and others looked confused.

"When you leave the school gate and turn left, the small building next to it is the library. Don't you know?"

"really do not know."

"Haha, I'm right over there. If you need anything, find me there. If you can't find me in the library, go to the computer room... well, or go to the lounge on the first floor. I'm sometimes there too, but not often."

"Liu Jin!"

Just as a few people were talking, a girl came over.

Liu Jin smiled and said, "Selina, what's the matter?"

Her name is Yang Liu, her English name is Selena, she is from Hubei Province, and she is also Liu Jin's classmate.

She doesn't like people calling her by her Chinese name, so everyone calls her by her English name.

A very cool girl about the same age as Liu Jin, she knows clearly the purpose of her coming to France and is very opinionated.

Back then, Liu Jin had a very good impression of her.

There is also a big sister, who is the kind who lives very realistically.

"We're planning a party this weekend, would you like to come?"

Well, it seems that there was indeed a party that year, and Selena even invited some local students to attend.

But that time, it seemed that Liu Sisi and Duan Jie had a conflict.

I don’t remember clearly!

"Yes, Selina told us yesterday. We are neighbors in China, and we should unite when we are abroad."

Liu Sisi said naively.

She was full of curiosity about this kind of gathering.

"I...may not be able to attend."

"why?"

"I'm going to Paris this weekend."

"what?"

"It's Friday night's train, and I have to catch it right after school... Maybe next time, I'll treat you and we can all get together."

"Is that so? Then we can only do it next time."

Selina looked a little regretful.

After a few days of contact, she also discovered it.

This world is made up of circles.

Just like the Hubei people, Selina and the big sister who hadn't arrived yet were the main group. But Selina wasn't a meddlesome person, so most of the time, it was a boy named Ma Jun who was in charge. The other two boys, Zhang Pei and Song Weijie, and Duan Jie, also gathered around Ma Jun.

Among these international students from Zhongzhou, Yang Dongqi appears to be the best at French, while Dadong is the oldest and the backbone.

But actually, after a few conversations.

She knew that Liu Jin, who never said a word in class, seemed to be their backbone.

Selena also heard some rumors about Zhao Qian.

She didn't know the specific situation.

It seems like the school has shut down.

The Zhongzhou international students, who were the actual participants, also seemed unwilling to talk about it.

So, Selina only had a general idea.

It seems that Liu Jin played a big role in it.

But since they didn't say anything, Selena couldn't ask.
