I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 2 Je m'appelle Amelie

Chapter 2 Je m'appelle Amelie
In 2000, -year-old Liu Jin set foot on French soil.

There were five other people who came to France with him.

Four of them were his fellow townsmen from Zhongzhou.

There is another one, who is from Shanghai.

Their destination was Toulouse, the fourth largest city in France, also known as the City of Roses.

However, when they arrived in Toulouse, there were only five people, including Liu Jin.

Zhao Qian, a girl from Shanghai, disappeared at the train station!

This incident caused quite a stir at the time and even alarmed the embassy.

As vice-chancellor, Pierre had to stay in Paris for a whole week.

Three months later, Zhao Qian was found dead in Monaco.

Liu Jin and his colleagues were in Toulouse at the time, so they didn't have a chance to see it. But according to Xiao Qiao, Lao Pi's assistant Qiao An, Zhao Qian's body was almost unrecognizable as a human, with its organs hollowed out and already rotten when it was discovered.

"It's the Albanians!"

At that time, Liu Jin and his team had been in Toulouse for a year.

Liu Jin's French has improved a lot, so he gets along well with Xiao Qiao.

Xiao Qiao said, "She was taken from the train station bathroom... Once you fall into the hands of those Albanians, you basically have no choice. You're either injected with drugs and forced to become a streetwalker, or you become a plaything. Being a plaything is better, at least you can enjoy it for a few days. But becoming a streetwalker is basically the end of it. Anna must have been treated as a plaything."

It was this incident that made Liu Jin realize that the legendary civilization of Europe was not as beautiful as imagined.

……

To be honest, my memory of Zhao Qian is very vague.

A sickly girl, and very coquettish.

Of course, in 2000, it was normal to be pro-white.

Who could have imagined that twenty-five years later, the black-and-sin worship would become so rampant.

As for the reputation of Chinese girls in 2000...it’s okay, not too bad.

At most one EG title.

But after 2025, the black label of "Brazilian Steak" suddenly appeared and was even widely recognized.

But at that time, Liu Jin no longer cared about these things.

Zhao Qian’s disappearance is a taboo among Chinese students at Toulouse Business School, and no one wants to mention it.

Slowly, I forgot about it.

If he hadn't seen her today, Liu Jin wouldn't even remember that this person existed.

He walked out of the small door and wanted to go out.

But after thinking about it, he turned back to the glass cabinet.

"Six cups of coffee, five breakfasts."

Very fluent, without any difficulty.

The coffee girl smiled and asked, "Blue Mountain, espresso, or cappuccino?"

"One Blue Mountain, four cappuccinos, one espresso, and a double shot."

"D'accord, what would you like for breakfast? We have freshly baked croissants, which are very delicious, and sandwiches with Spanish ham."

"Croissants, two per portion."

"D'accord."

"Blue Mountain for the old man, cappuccino for the others, and I want espresso."

"Hey, your French is pretty good."

"is it?"

"Very good, but it doesn't sound like a Parisian accent. It sounds a bit like the South... Are you here for tourism, or something?"

It's eight o'clock in the morning and there are not many people in the coffee shop.

That’s normal too!
Today is Sunday and most people are sleeping in.

The coffee girl also had nothing to do, so she made her own breakfast while chatting with Liu Jin.

"Study abroad. I, and the people outside, are all here to study abroad."

"Japanese?"

“No, no, no, it’s Chinese.”

Liu Jin did it himself, had enough food and clothing, and poured a glass of ice water.

"Never tell a Chinese person he is Japanese in front of them. That is the most vicious curse against the Chinese."

"why?"

"This... is because during World War II, the Japanese killed 35 million Chinese.

Well, just like the Nazis murdered the Jews."

"what?"

The coffee girl was startled, her hand trembled, and she was burned by the scalding coffee.

"Is it okay!"

"It's okay, I'm just scared by you."

As she spoke, she handed Liu Jin a glass of espresso.

"I don't know, so...this cup of coffee is on me."

"Thank you!"

Liu Jin took the coffee without hesitation.

He took a sip and looked outside.

Sitting at a small table outside the coffee shop, Liu Sisi looked drowsy and listless.

She's airsick!
Tian Dadong, Sun Yue and Yang Dongqi were chatting.

Zhao Qian was sitting alone at a small table, not knowing what she was thinking about.

It’s not that the people of Zhongzhou are banding together to exclude Zhao Qian.

It was Zhao Qian who looked down on the people of Zhongzhou.

In addition, she was very proud and a little aloof, so no one talked much along the way.

But it must be admitted that she has the unique beauty and fashion of Shanghai girls. Even Liu Sisi can't compare to her in this respect.

When did people start to notice Zhao Qian’s disappearance?
Is it at the train station? Or...

Liu Jin didn't pay much attention to Zhao Qian back then, so his memory of her is very vague.

I vaguely remember that when they were waiting for Xiao Qiao, two people came over and talked to Zhao Qian for a while.

"I'm not a good student. I even failed French history, so I don't know much about Chinese history."

By this time, the coffee girl had finished her breakfast.

“Pardon.”

She carried the tray and came out from behind the cupboard, motioning for Liu Jin to make way.

Liu Jin quickly stepped back and watched her carry the tray out and place breakfast in front of everyone.

The people outside the coffee shop looked inside in confusion.

Liu Jin raised his coffee cup and greeted them with a smile.

Dadong, it was Tian Dadong, and several people laughed.

Liu Sisi, who was originally drowsy due to airsickness and not having eaten breakfast, also took a look inside the coffee shop.

Liu Jin remembered that the girl was vomiting non-stop on the train because she didn't eat breakfast and was carsick.

Zhao Qian also looked over.

She hesitated for a moment and nodded to Liu Jin as a token of gratitude.

Pierre frowned slightly. He looked at the breakfast in front of him and then at Liu Jin who was drinking coffee inside.

After hesitating for a moment, he took off his baseball cap and smiled at Liu Jin.

At this time, the coffee girl walked in.

"So, you're going to Toulouse today?"

"Yes!"

"That might be difficult."

"why?"

"You're out of luck. Today, the three major railway unions in Paris are jointly marching. All railway workers are on strike, striving for a 38-hour work week. Therefore, no trains will depart unless drivers are transferred from Toulouse."

Well, it seems that they were able to make the trip only after a driver was transferred from Toulouse.

"How do you know so clearly?"

"Hehe, my boyfriend is a train driver!"

"So, do you have a boyfriend?"

"Can't I have it?"

The coffee girl was a little unhappy.

This is Paris, the city of romance.

Being suspected of not having a boyfriend is something many young Parisian girls cannot tolerate, as it is tantamount to saying that they are unattractive.

"No, I'm just heartbroken."

"Heartache?"

"My love has been shattered before it even began!"

As he spoke, Liu Jin made a broken gesture, which immediately made the coffee girl laugh especially happily.

In France, if you like a girl, you can flirt with her directly.

But in China in 2000, if you did this, you would probably be scolded.

The coffee girl was very happy.

She smiled and said, "That's such a pity. If you could stay in Paris, maybe you would have a chance. It's a pity that you have to go to Toulouse!"

"Stop talking, stop talking!"

Liu Jin covered his chest and made a painful expression.

Then, he quickly cheered up and said, "But I will be back!"

"Hahaha!"

The coffee girl smiled even more happily.

I can't remember when Pleasant Goat came out.
It's certain that she doesn't know this joke.

However, that didn't stop her from finding it interesting.

"Je m'appelle Amelie." (My name is Emily)
The coffee girl extended her hand and introduced herself.

Liu Jin was startled, then immediately reacted and held the coffee girl's finger, "Je m'appelle Amos." (My name is Amos)
"Amos?" The coffee girl looked at him in surprise and said, "You're a little arrogant."

"I know!"

Amos means prophet in French, English, and Spanish.

In fact, Liu Jin has other English names.

People of his generation all like to have foreign names, regardless of whether they are useful or not.

fashionable!

However, most people will not have any disputes with this foreign name later on.

Take Liu Jin for example, he even forgot his English name.

Amos is a character in a novel he later wrote.

He likes this name.

"So, your name is Emily."

"That's right!"

A flash of inspiration came to Liu Jin's mind.
