I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 23 An unexpected surprise (Please recommend and collect!)
"You should thank me!"

The printer made a monotonous sound and spit out sheets of manuscript paper.

Chloe looked at the manuscripts and said without turning her head.

"Thank u?"

"You have finished your book. Are you planning to publish it?"

"Once I've written it, of course I have to publish it." Liu Jin said, "But I haven't thought about this question yet. Do you have any recommendations?"

"Of course!"

Chloe said.

Without turning around, she said, "But I want to apologize to you first."

"apologize?"

"You left your manuscript with me last time, and I read it twice after I got home. Yesterday morning, Mela came to see me and accidentally found your manuscript. Although it's not finished, she likes it very much and thinks it's worth publishing."

After saying that, Chloe turned around and looked at Liu Jin.

"I know this is not a good thing. After all, as the author, you trusted me and gave me the unfinished manuscript, but I was negligent and it was seen by outsiders. Mela is a trustworthy person and would not take the manuscript away. But it is my fault after all, so I apologize."

Liu Jin was very serious at the beginning.

But as Chloe finished speaking, a smile appeared on his face.

"So, Mela has access to publishing."

"Yes."

"Which publishing house is she from?"

“She hasn’t graduated yet, she’s a graduate student in the literature department of the second university.

But her family owns a small publishing house. Well, it might not be very well-known, but it has a long history and extensive connections in the publishing industry... She did an analysis with me, and I think what she said makes a lot of sense."

"What analysis?"

"A lot, let her talk."

At this time, the manuscript had just been printed.

Chloe took the floppy disk out of the computer and said to the aunt who was eating ice cream cake in the printing room, "Aunt Mary, the printer is out of use. How much is it?"

"Little Chloe, if you say something like that again, don't come to my place anymore.

I also have to thank you for the cake."

Aunt Mary looked unhappy and waved at Chloe.

Chloe smiled, picked up the manuscript, and pulled Liu Jin out.

"Aren't you from the first university? Why do you look so familiar here?"

"If you're from the First University, can't you come to the Second University? Anyway, regardless of whether it's the First, Second, or Third University, they're all part of the University of Toulouse system. Besides, Mela's studying here, so of course I'll come here often... You don't know, I put a lot of effort into pursuing Mela back then. It really pissed off those guys from the Second University, and it still pissed me off."

You, a lesbian, are telling me this?
But when you think about it, it doesn’t seem like a big deal.

This is Europe!
It’s not that Europe is the birthplace of lesbianism.

But lesbian groups are not uncommon.

There are not only lesbians in Toulouse, but also gays!

But everyone is used to it and doesn't care much.

But in a few years, the lesbian community will evolve and become a very powerful group in nq.

And then further on...

It’s hard to tell the difference between human and ghost!

When the two returned to the swimming pool, Mela had already changed her clothes.

She is a little plump, but because she is about 170 cm tall, she doesn't look fat.

On the contrary, there is a kind of rich beauty.

In today's Europe, the aesthetic of the White Bone Demon has become popular.

Chloe is a bit thin.

She was a little taller than Mela and noticeably thinner.

But it doesn't guarantee that she will look thin when she's dressed and look plump when she's undressed... Chloe said that she practices karate and is a black belt.

"Hello Liu Jin, I'm Meila, Meila Singla Bezier."

"Béziers?"

Liu Jin was stunned for a moment.

He had an impression of this name.

It seems to be a city on the Mediterranean coast of France.

It's not a very big city, very quiet and the environment is beautiful.

It has both the vicissitudes of the European Middle Ages and the characteristics of a modern city.

Don't ask him how he knows this city.

In fact, even many French people are not aware that such a place exists.

This was also the city he had accidentally visited when he was a scoundrel in France in his previous life.

There are many small cities like this in France.

Moreover, the customs of the north and south are different.

At that time, Liu Jin was very curious. Why could many small cities in France retain that sense of vicissitudes and pastoral beauty?
Later he figured it out.

It's a bit similar to China's future.

Most people will live in a big city like Paris, Marseille, Lyon or Toulouse.

But small cities have become deserted.

"Béziers seems to be a place name?"

"You know Béziers?"

Meera was a little happy.

Liu Jin said: "I have seen the propaganda posters of Béziers. I like the scenery that perfectly blends ancient and modern elements.

I like cities that are quiet and have some historical charm.”

"Me too!"

Mela's attitude became much friendlier.

"Béziers is the birthplace of the Singela family, our ancestral home. After the Great GM, the Singela family left their ancestral home. To remember our family's history, we all add the name Béziers after our names."

"noble?"

"Haha, all the nobles in France were beheaded during the Great GM. We are just an ordinary family."

France is good at this!
There aren't that many nobles.

I'm quite disgusted by the pretentious style of those aristocrats.

He is so poor that he can't even afford to eat, yet he still has to act like a noble person.

Well, this is particularly evident in Great Britain.

"I've kept you waiting for so long, let me treat you to a meal."

"I'm going to that new store that opened last week."

"Ok."

When Meila spoke, her voice was soft and pleasant.

And her tone of voice combined with the characteristics of southern French really gives people the feeling of wiping their butt with silk.

The look in her eyes when she looked at Chloe was full of love and doting.

Liu Jin suddenly had an idea.

Chloe said it was Mela she was pursuing?
Maybe not.

It was May who set the hook, sending Chloë on a wild chase.

"I heard that your book is finished?"

"Yes, the whole book was finished at nine o'clock last night."

"Hey, I've got the full manuscript."

While Mela was chatting with Chloe, she did not neglect Liu Jin.

That kind of graceful and polite temperament is truly the style of a lady from a noble family.

But, she is a lesbian!

The world is big and there are many beautiful women.

Why bother spending time on a lesbian?
There are countless beauties in France, Sophie... It seemed that for a moment, Liu Jin only thought of Sophie Marceau.

Oh, and Eva Green;
And Cicely Cassel.

And Léa Seydoux.

And Isabelle Adjani...

Except for Leia, the others seem a bit old.

Especially Ajani.

But when Anjelica was young, she was so damn beautiful.

Liu Jin was chatting with Mela as he walked, his mind wandering.

No one knew when he had mastered the unique martial art of multitasking.

It seems like a martial arts novel!

Every Chinese man has a martial arts dream.

……

Before I knew it, I arrived at the restaurant.

Chloe and Mela walked in with ease, followed closely by Liu Jin.

"Ajige, three of you."

"Miss Mela, Miss Chloe, and this gentleman, please follow me."

It seems that Mela is really a celebrity in the Second University.

Led by the waiter Ajige, the three of them found a quiet place.

“I’ll have a green salad with aioli.

Main course, veal in white sauce, celery juice instead of lemon juice.

Then a gratin of ham and chicory, and finally anisette ice cream, a double dose of anisette.”

The waiter smiled and wrote down Chloe's order, then looked at Mela.

"Same salad, but with Parisian asparagus and a mignonette dressing.

What recommendations do you have today? "

"Today's chef is Chef Coster, and he just came up with a lemon lavender roast chicken. It's delicious when paired with macaroni."

"Then let's do this."

Meila flipped through two pages and suddenly looked up and said, "I want fresh low-fat cheese for toast, the kind you introduced last time."

"no problem."

Ajige then set his eyes on Liu Jin.

"This is my first time here, any introduction?"

It's hard to get authentic food if you only look at the menu.

Therefore, the waiters in French restaurants are particularly important.

Ajige thought for a moment and smiled. "For an appetizer, I recommend the salmon tartare, served with cucumber and raw rhubarb salad. It's delicious... For the main course, you can have the venison Wellington. It's best cooked medium rare, as the center of the venison has a delicious pink color. And, depending on your appetite, you can add a serving of beef cheek vegetable soup."

I personally recommend spicy pesto, as creamy sauce might be a bit greasy.

Finally, a mille-feuille with champagne or ice cream should make you feel very satisfied. "

"so be it."

French cuisine is very complicated and has many requirements.

Many people think that French food takes a long time.

But in fact, daily meals are not that troublesome.

Just listen to the waiter's introduction, that's basically it...

"Ajige must have set his sights on your wallet."

Chloe couldn't help but smile at Mela.

Mela laughed too!
