I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 56 New House

"Why is your boss like this?"

"What? My boss is always like this."

Liu Jin walked around Ottilie's desk, trying to make small talk.

Ottilie looked up at him.

"If you have something to say, just tell me. Why are you just wandering around trying to figure out what to do, you idiot."

"Ottilie, why don't we just speak French... English is fine too, or Spanish if that doesn't work."

"Why? Don't you Chinese say that the local accent is the most beautiful?"

"The key is that it feels weird to hear such a big word coming out of a little foreigner like you."

"You are the foreigner. You are in France now. You are the foreigner, don't you know that?"

"Uh...I was wrong."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Ottilie finally returned to speaking French.

"Is there something wrong tonight?"

"What do you want to do..." Da Chazi spoke again.

I'm from Henan, not Northeast China!
But since he needed help from others, Liu Jin decided to endure it!
"Hey, isn't the new house ready?"

"Yeah, it's really tiring. The previous tenant was really dirty. When I cleaned the room, I swept out a lot of vaginal discharge.

Isn’t she a student?”

Ottilie still spoke with a Northeastern dialect.

Liu Jin spoke in French: "Students are divided into different classes... You know, it's not easy for a student like her to rent such an expensive apartment."

"You are also a student..."

"We are different." Liu Jin said with a flattering smile, "Please do me another favor and help me move."

"Are you going to die? Not only do I have to clean your house, but I also have to help you move?"

“There are so many things!”

"Don't you have a car?"

"My little donkey..."

Ottilie's eyes rolled around.

"Then it's your treat!"

"No problem, I just got the manuscript fee."

"I want a big meal."

"The royalties aren't much..."

"Don't give me that. I wrote the check for Meila. Do you want me to report it?"

"Okay, eat whatever you want."

"I'm going to Chinatown."

"What's good to eat in Chinatown?"

Is that little shabby street in Toulouse worthy of being called Chinatown?

"Hey, don't worry about it. It's your treat anyway."

I carefully recalled the restaurants in Chinatown in my mind.

It seems there aren't any big restaurants!

There are several small shops, two of which are quite authentic.

others……

It's a wolf in sheep's clothing, and it feels like it's run by Vietnamese.

Or, a modified Chinese restaurant.

Anyway, in his previous life, Liu Jin didn’t find anything special about the food there.

Small restaurant, won't cost too much!

Liu Jin made a decision immediately. "Okay, I'll treat you... You said we'll go to Chinatown to eat."

"Okay, let's go!"

Ottilie immediately stood up, opened the drawer and took out the key.

She put on her coat and picked up her backpack.

After saying hello to other people in the office, he took Liu Jin away.

Before leaving, I glanced at the clock in the room. It was past four o'clock, and it was almost time to go home from get off work.

But Liu Jin always felt that something was strange.

Feel like you've been fooled?
He kept muttering in his heart.

……

Instead of riding a motorcycle, he got directly into Ottilie's car.

A Citroën C2000 with a red body that was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in early 5.

"A new car!"

Liu Jin fastened his seat belt.

Ottilie nodded proudly and said, "Of course!"

She drove her car into the driveway and headed towards the apartment where Liu Jin lived.

"I'm planning to buy a car, too."

"Buy a car?"

Ottilie suddenly laughed: "Do you have a driver's license?"

Yeah, forgot about this!
"Is there any agency that can help me get a driver's license quickly and easily?"

"What's so fast and good about this? It's all the same... You can learn to drive first and take the written test at the same time. Once you pass the written test, you can take the road test. The road test is very simple; just make sure you don't make any mistakes within 32 minutes. So, the written test is very important."

"Give me a question bank later."

"Let me ask for you...Aren't you going to learn how to drive?"

“It’s not like I don’t know how to do it.”

"That's convenient. You can apply for the written test first. After you pass it, you can apply for the road test."

To put it simply, Liu Jin was a little pessimistic about the French's efficiency.

But this is also a necessary process.

The two of them soon arrived at the apartment. Liu Jin went upstairs and soon came out with a suitcase. He hadn't bought much these days.

Although some electrical appliances were bought, Liu Jin gave them to Sun Yue when Sun Yue moved out, so it was very simple.

He had already packed it up when he came back last night.

Ottilie drove straight towards Mirepoix Road.

This is the rush hour for getting off work.

The traffic was so bad along the way that Ottilie cursed several times.

Road rage is a very common condition in every country.

In this way, we drove for more than an hour before reaching our destination.

Liu Jin, carrying his bag and luggage, followed Ottilie into the apartment building and took the old elevator to the fourth floor.

it's getting dark!
Although there were lights in the corridor, the light was very dim.

The two came to the door and opened it.

Ottilie reached out and turned on the light, and the dark room was suddenly filled with light.

"Ooh!"

Liu Jin couldn't help but sigh.

It is indeed much cleaner.

Tina should have cleaned the house the last time he came, but it was obvious that it wasn't very clean.

Now, it has a brand new look.

A very large living room facing the balcony.

The kitchen is in the living room and has a dining table.

There is a new low sofa set in the living room.

In the center, there is a large carpet with a coffee table on it.

On the TV cabinet is a TV, as well as a set of audio equipment and an amplifier.

"this is……"

"Mera bought the appliances, and Chloe bought the sofa!"

Ottilie smiled and said, "They said they wanted to represent France and welcome you, a foreign writer."

Liu Jin couldn't help laughing.

The appliances are very complete, including refrigerator, TV, washing machine, oven and microwave.

"The stove is electric, but Meila said you Chinese might not be used to it, so she asked someone to add an open flame stove.

But it’s best not to cook anything that creates a lot of smoke, otherwise the neighbors might call the police.”

"understood!"

Ottilie took Liu Jin to visit two rooms.

"Meira said that you should like quietness, so she set up this room as a study.

Here, Chloe got the bookshelf and desk from a group of you. They're secondhand, but they're very sturdy. If you move out in the future, you can just throw them away. They're not worth much anyway... All the old furniture in this room has been thrown away. It's just a bunch of girls' stuff. I don't think you'd like it.

This is your bedroom.

This is the cloakroom... It was a mess before, too, so I threw everything away. I bought new sheets, mattresses, and quilts, so don't worry. If you need anything else, just let me know. Or you can go pick it out yourself; there are plenty of shopping malls around here anyway.

So considerate!

Liu Jin walked around the apartment and went up to hug Ottilie.

"Thank you, Ottilie!"

"Write your book well. Whether my salary will increase this year depends on you."

"I'll try!"

Liu Jin couldn't help laughing.

Absolutely perfect apartment.

Big and comfortable!
Liu Jin came out of the bedroom and walked to the window.

This is a floor-to-ceiling window, and there is also a floor-to-ceiling door. When you open it, there is a balcony outside, where you can see the street downstairs and the White Shadow Bookstore.

The sight line is also very good.

The lighting should be good.

On the balcony, there is a small round table and a white chair.

“If you’re tired of writing a book, you can sit here and have a cup of coffee. It’s a great experience.”

Ottilie came over and suddenly asked, "You smoke, don't you?"

"Ok!"

"Here, go down this street down there and turn left. There's a really good tobacco shop. They have all kinds of cigarettes."

"I don't fly leaves."

"let it go!"

Flying leaves are not uncommon at the University of Toulouse.

But for the Chinese, that thing is firmly resisted.

Ottilie smiled and said, "How is it?"
