I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 45 Florian's Daydream (Please read, collect and recommend!)
Florian, a black guy living in the Bronx, New York.

He is kind, hardworking, humorous and yearns for a better life.

After failing his 101st interview, he discovered that the reason for his failure was the color of his skin.

From that day on, he began to hate the color of his skin.

But he had no choice.

Until one day, he saved a white man by chance.

The white man was very influential.

As a token of gratitude, Florian was given a job opportunity.

From that day on, Florian felt different.

He wore a suit and tie and went in and out of high-end places in New York. Every day he met well-dressed gentlemen.

Florian felt that he had become a gentleman too.

He began to hate the black people around him.

He began to hate his black wife who was always with him.

He even hated his daughter who wore all black.

He felt that he was a white man.

Unconsciously, he began to regard himself as a white person and treat the people around him with the same attitude that white people once treated black people.

And at work, his colleagues increasingly respected him...

He started making money, a lot of money.

He found a white prostitute and announced to the outside world that she was his wife.

Everything is beautiful.

He moved into a big house and drove away his black wife and daughter.

Hanging out among white friends every day.

He discriminates against his black friends, ethnic minorities, and people of other skin colors.

Because he felt that he was a white man.

A sudden disaster struck.

Florian's patron died in it.

The attitudes of the people around him began to change.

The white friends who were once friendly to him gradually distanced themselves from him.

Because the new boss doesn't like Florian.

Florian is out of work.

But he did not wake up from his dream.

White prostitute, stole his money.

The bank towed away his beloved car and evicted him from his big house...

He remembered his wife and daughter and called for help.

The black man's wife was willing to help him and asked him to go find her.

But when he walked out of the big house, he met a patrolling policeman.

He yelled that he was white.

But what was waiting for him was a whistling bullet.

Florian, dead!
……

Originally, Liu Jin was working on "Father Trapped in Time".

Florian's inappropriate remarks on TV made him extremely angry.

So Liu Jin stopped creating.

In three days, he wrote a short story called "Florian's Daydream".

The story line is simple, but he uses a dual narrative method, combining the real and imaginary worlds to show Florian's ugly face.

By the way, the guest Florian who was speaking out on TV was a black man.

This also gave Liu Jin sufficient creative motivation!
He just wanted to scold Florian.

But he cannot target the entire black community, as this will trigger protests.

So, he stripped Florian from the black group and made him an individual.

Then they created a group of kind black people who followed ancient traditions.

Wife, daughter, friends...

"It's normal for you to yearn for a better life. Everyone yearns for a better life, but you can't betray your tribe."

"Florian, you are a fool, and those white people just want to get something from you."

"You are no longer my homie, a true homie is someone you would die for.

When you are weak, your homie is your umbrella of protection; but when you are rich, you abandon your traditions." "Florian, wake up, we are black."

"You know what they call you behind your back? Tar baby."

"Class may change, but skin color does not..."

……

Three days later, when Liu Jin found Meira with Florian's daydream, Meira was frightened by his appearance.

His eyes were red and his hair was messy.

"Liu, why do you look like a refugee?"

"I am now a refugee, a refugee who is discriminated against."

As he said this, he handed the manuscript to Meera.

"I'd like to ask for your help in getting this article out there."

"What article?"

Chloe came out of the bedroom, wearing pajamas.

Well, she doesn't seem shy at all.

The spring light appears suddenly, looming.

Liu Jin discovered that she was actually quite talented...

She sat down on the sofa, crossing her long legs.

"Aren't you writing 'Father'? Have you finished it?"

"No, I wrote a short story."

"You're so energetic... Since coming to France, you've already completed two works and are now working on a third. And you even found time to write a short story? Amos, tell me, are all Chinese people this hardworking?"

"Hard work is a virtue, you French people don't understand."

"How could I not understand? In fact, many French people are also very hardworking."

Chloe immediately started arguing with Liu Jin.

It’s just that Liu Jin is very sleepy now, his brain is in a fuss, and he can’t keep up with Chloe’s sharp tongue.

As he was talking, he fell asleep leaning on the sofa.

Mela, who was sitting opposite her, also finished reading "Florian's Daydream" and couldn't help giggling.

"Liu, I finally understand why you said that the pen of a writer is a murderous knife... Florian is finished!"

However, Liu Jin did not respond.

Meera then realized that he had fallen asleep.

Chloe asked curiously, "What do you mean Florian is finished?"

“The same Florian who made discriminatory remarks on TV a few days ago.

Liu wrote a short story specifically about him, and the whole thing is just insulting him... You can take a look at it, and I'll call Mr. Roper."

Ropert is the chairman of the French Communist Party.

He has a close relationship with Mela's grandfather.

If you want to fight back while the heat is on, the Humanité newspaper under the French Communist Party is the best choice.

Other newspapers...

Mela talked to Roper on the phone for a long time.

Roper was also curious, so he asked Mela to fax the article to him.

He's old-school and still doesn't know how to use email.

After hanging up the phone, Meera walked out of the room.

She heard Chloe, laughing wildly.

"what happened to you?"

"Nothing, just thought it was funny." Chloe raised her head and smiled, "Amos, what a tough guy."

"If he wasn't ruthless, he would have had a hard time gaining a foothold in the French literary world."

After saying this, Mela snatched the manuscript from Chloe's hand and went to the study to send the fax.

Chloe turned her head and looked at Liu Jin who was slumped on the sofa.

She smiled, got up and walked into the bedroom.

After a while, she came out with a blanket and covered Liu Jin with it.

Turning and walking into the study, she leaned against the door and asked softly, "Meera, have the sales of Amos's book come out?"

Meera took out a piece of paper from her bag and handed it to Chloe.

Chloe took a look and immediately opened her mouth wide and covered it with her hands, looking shocked!
