I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 71 Let Everything Go with the Wind (Happy Lantern Festival!!!)

In front of a stall not far away.

Julie and Adrian are bargaining with the stall owner.

She took a fancy to a silver tea set.

Her long golden hair and tall figure show her elegance.

Adrian was beside her, smiling gently, and whispering a few words in her ear from time to time, making Julie laugh.

The sunlight shone on her face, and her smile was particularly bright.

The wind blew her long hair, making her look more graceful.

……

Liu Jin, take a deep breath.

Looking at them, I suddenly laughed!

A smile of relief.

When he first met Julie, he had thought about whether he should...

But he gave up!
Because he knew too well that he and she were not suitable.

In his previous life, he pursued a comfortable life, while Julie wanted a stable life.

And in this life, he is even more so.

In his previous life, he had hurt Julie badly.

Don't bother me again in this life.

Adrian is a good man, he will have a stable life and a stable income.

He is also the most suitable partner for Julie.

Seeing Julie smiling so happily, Liu Jin was also very happy.

I hope all the good women in the world can stay away from bad men.

"Amos, what are you looking at?"

"Um, I didn't see anything... Oh, I think I saw a place selling old record players. Do you remember where it was?"

"there!"

Deborah thought for a moment and pointed.

"Let's go over and have a look."

Liu Jin reached out and held her hand.

Deborah, great smile.

The moment the two turned to leave, Julie seemed to sense something and looked back.

However, the flea market was crowded with people, and Liu Jin and Deborah were already lost in the crowd.

"what happened?"

Adrien asked.

Julie smiled and shook her head, saying, "Nothing, let's take a look around."

……

The flea market is huge.

Liu Jin and Zhu Li did not meet.

However, he did like a record player that was about 80% new and came with a dozen vinyl records.

Liu Jin really likes this kind of old records.

He had one in his previous life, and he also had dozens of vinyl records.

It's a pity that later...

The records are very diverse, including chansons and English records.

What made Liu Jin happiest was that among these records, there was also a 1988 Leslie Cheung concert album.

"Hoohoo!"

Liu Jin smiled so happily that it was unclear how happy he was.

Born in 75, he has a natural liking for Hong Kong music.

The best songs are those by Alan Tam, all of which are above standard.

My favorite singer is my brother. Some of his songs are indeed average, but some of his songs are good and better than Allen.

Most importantly, he liked his brother's character.

I didn't expect to have an unexpected gain.

He and Deborah immediately started bargaining with the stall owner.

Don’t think that foreigners don’t bargain, especially women. Bargaining is a natural skill.

In the end, Liu Jin bought this old record player and a dozen vinyl records for less than two thousand francs.

Among the records, there is also the soundtrack of "Notting Hill".

It was a bit painful when I carried it back.

Fortunately, it was not far from the apartment, and the two of them laughed all the way home, carrying the record player.

When I entered the apartment door, I happened to meet Mrs. Rosalie.

She hasn't been doing well lately.

Liu Jin's lawyer sued Rosalie for racial discrimination, making her very embarrassed.

Seeing Liu Jin, she opened her mouth to say something.

But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

"That lady seems to hate you a little."

Deborah asked as they entered the elevator.

Liu Jin briefly recounted the previous conflict.

"Don't be fooled by her pitiful appearance now. She was quite arrogant a few days ago. The other party's lawyer offered to settle, but I refused. I don't want money either. I just want her to apologize, and publish an apology in the newspaper for 30 consecutive days."

Deborah chuckled.

"You're really ruthless, can you win?"

"My lawyer said it's not a big deal."

"That's good. Racists are the most hateful!"

Well, actually I am a little bit...

Liu Jin muttered to himself in his heart.

……

The Spring Festival in 2001 was on Wednesday, January th. After the weekend, the Spring Festival was getting closer and closer.

Chinatown is decorated with lights and looks particularly festive.

In 2001, France was not as concerned about Chinese festivals as it was later.

They may be curious, but not that curious.

After all, this festival has nothing to do with them.

But the impact on Chinese people is obviously quite large.

Everyone was a little distracted during class on Monday morning.

Julie discovered this situation and went to Liu Jin to ask about it.

After learning that the next day was New Year's Eve, similar to Christmas Eve, and the day after tomorrow was Spring Festival, similar to Christmas, Julie considerately found the school and told Pierre about it.

Pierre is a very smart man. He immediately decided to give the China International Class two days off on Tuesday and Wednesday.

When Julie announced the news in class, everyone shouted with joy, which made Julie very happy.

"What should I say?"

"Congratulations on getting rich, bring me the red envelope!"

"What do you mean?"

"Chinese, when you meet a Chinese person tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you will get paid if you say this."

"Is it so good?"

Julie looked eager to make a move, her eyes fixed on Liu Jin.

"Liu Jin, congratulations on your prosperity. Give me the red envelope."

Her accent is not very suitable for speaking Chinese.

Everyone in the class laughed and shouted at Liu Jin, "Red envelopes, red envelopes, red envelopes!"

"Shut up!"

Liu Jin stood up.

He glanced at everyone in the class and sneered, "I knew you guys had bad intentions, but I'm prepared."

As he spoke, he took out a red envelope from his schoolbag and handed it to Julie with both hands.

“There’s really money to be made.”

Julie was pleasantly surprised.

She took the red envelope, which contained a fifty-franc note.

"Brother Jin, congratulations on your prosperity, congratulations on your prosperity."

"Same joy, same joy!"

Liu Jin took out another red envelope.

The classroom suddenly became more lively.

Julie stood on the podium, not teaching, but looking at everyone with a smile.

……

No classes in the afternoon!
Originally there was.

But after receiving a red envelope, Pierre generously said that he would take a holiday starting from the afternoon.

Selena and the others started discussing how to spend New Year's Eve.

Liu Jin originally planned to participate, but he received a phone call and hurriedly left on his motorcycle.

He came to the Sofitel Hotel in the city center.

Head straight to the casual bar.

"Hey, Marlene, long time no see!"

He walked forward, kissed Marlene Farmer on the cheek, and then sat down.

Marlene looked a little tired.

"You look terrible."

"Well, it's a bit bad indeed."

"What happened?"

"I'm fine, it's Alice."

"What's up with her?"

"Have you read the latest news?"

"You mean that Daniel Potter? Who cares what he does? He's just a Canadian, what the hell is he qualified to criticize Alice?"

"But Alice is interested."

Liu Jin frowned slightly.

"After the interview, we returned to Paris. Sales in the UK are good. Although Daniel's trouble has not affected sales. Last week, Alizee's "Moi...Lolita" once again topped the singles chart. Sales of "Food" are also very good, ranking in the third place and currently sitting at number six on the weekly chart."

"Is this good?"

"But Alice... you should know that she doesn't really like singing.

That child preferred dancing and painting, and I was the one who brought her into this field. But now, she's a little resistant and doesn't really want to continue singing."

Liu Jin listened quietly.

In her previous life, Alijie fell silent after releasing her first album in 2000.

It wasn't until 2003 that she reappeared and sang "J'en Ai Marre", which once again caused a sensation.

The title of this song translates to 'I'm tired'.

That same year, she got married...

Did she also face Daniel's accusations in her previous life?

To be honest, Liu Jin wasn't quite sure.

After listening to Marlene's story, he was silent for a moment and then asked softly, "What can I do?"

“The child is very depressed now and feels that he is not suitable for singing.

Originally, Laurent and I didn't want her to continue participating in the promotion. But firstly, the contract had already been signed, and secondly, she insisted on coming. I knew she came to Toulouse because she wanted to see you.

"so what?"

“I don’t know if this is right… Damn it, I actually don’t want her to see you.

But I think she should be able to listen to your advice. I really don’t know if this is right, but I don’t seem to have any other choice.”

"So, you want me to persuade her to continue singing."
