I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 267 Melissa Trio

Chapter 267 Melissa Terio
Old Zhong sat on the sofa watching TV, holding a cup of coffee in his hand.

There was a newspaper on the small table beside me.

He looked remarkably relaxed.

Liu Jin walked into the guest room and glanced back.

He laughed and said, "The Rejuvenation Stake is pretty good, isn't it?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

Liu Jin said, feigning composure.

"He came out unharmed after just one night!"

Haha, Emmanuel must be almost forty, right? You managed to win her over... hehe, you're qualified to go find a rich woman now.

"how do you know?"

Liu Jin was stunned.

"Brother, do you know that you're a celebrity in Cannes now?"

Emmanuelle is France's national goddess, aren't you all going to hide it? Look, the newspapers reported it, you went to a hotel with her yesterday and haven't come out since… Hehehe, I bet that supermodel got you really bored.”

"You don't know anything, we're talking about serious business."

It's true that I say so, but I would never admit it.

Liu Jin said seriously, "We are discussing 'Before Sunrise'."

"What before?"

"A book."

How come I didn't know you had this book?

"There's a lot you don't know. If you don't believe me, go ask Ottilie."

A look of confusion appeared on Old Zhong's face.

Could it be that I guessed wrong?
Could it be that he and Emmanuel were really discussing serious business that night?

It's not impossible, after all, Béa is almost forty, a full twelve years older than Lao Liu.

That's right, Lao Liu has a good appetite.

but……

"Let's pack up and get ready to go."

"Aren't we waiting for the closing ceremony?"

"We're not waiting anymore; it's none of our business anyway."

Liu Jin yawned and went into the bedroom.

wrong!

This guy……

If it were just about serious business, I wouldn't be this tired.

This guy has a really good appetite!
Old Zhong realized he had been tricked and couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath.

……

Liu Jin has already said goodbye to Ajani.

Adjani wanted him to stay, but Liu Jin refused.

His reason was perfectly plausible: go back and prepare for the exam!

With that said, Adjani couldn't press the matter any further.

After all, exams are still very important in France. Liu Jin is a student, so his studies are naturally more important.

I've already notified Yang Ziqiong and David Lynch.

other people……

I don't know Liu Jin well, and we have no interaction.

As for Section Chief Jia, Liu Jin only told Wang Hongwei.

They were just strangers who met by chance. Although Section Chief Jia was more famous, Wang Hongwei was from the same hometown as Liu Jin, so he was naturally closer to him.

other people……

Hmm, there's no one else!

The films featured in this year's film festival are mostly unfamiliar to most people.

The only one I vaguely remember is the Korean director Im Kwon-taek's "Painted Fire".

The reason I remember it is not because of the movie, but because of the director.

Before his rebirth, he vaguely remembered seeing a report on Toutiao that said Lim Kwon-taek's later years were quite miserable, and he was wandering around.

It's unclear whether it's true or false.

If Liu Jin hadn't seen Lim Kwon-taek in person, he might not have remembered him.

South Korea!
In a cruel country, anything can happen.

Liu Jin didn't bring much luggage to Cannes this time, so there was no need to pack.

A few pieces of clothing, and then a wallet.

He checked out at the front desk and got into the car with Lao Zhong.

Sitting in the passenger seat, he yawned and was about to close his eyes for a nap when Lao Zhong suddenly slammed on the brakes, and Liu Jin almost hit his head on the windshield.

"Looking for death!"

Old Zhong started cursing.

Liu Jin opened his eyes and saw a woman standing in front of the car.

She was dressed in a business suit, had long, dark yellow hair tied in a ponytail, and looked very refreshing.

She has an oval face and delicate features.

Her smile makes people feel very approachable.

She looks a bit like Rachel from Friends, Jennifer Aniston.

"Amos, I'm Melissa Trio, a reporter from LCI. May I interview you?"

She ran to the car window and shouted.

LCI, LA CHAINE INFO.
The translation is "professional news channel," which is a channel of French television.

Yes, you can think of it as CCTV-12, a pure news channel.

"Uh, an intern reporter?"

Liu Jin's gaze swept over her chest.

I confirmed it, it's Big C.

I love this size the most!
The main problem is that Liu Jin's hands aren't big enough, making it difficult for Big D to handle.

"Melissa, I have to go back to Toulouse, I really don't have time. How about next time?"

He was always very polite to beautiful women.

However, Melissa didn't want to give up this opportunity. She graduated last year and joined LCI, and is working hard to become a full-time employee.

Don't assume that foreigners don't oppress interns.

Same!

After graduating from university, I entered the workforce.

Especially in places like television stations where interpersonal relationships are complex, without connections, unwillingness to make sacrifices, and no influential figures willing to mentor you, you're basically just a beast of burden. You might even be let go near the end of your internship.

Melissa's internship is almost over!

If we don't produce some results soon, we might really be kicked out.

"Mr. Amos, I've been waiting for days, trying to find an opportunity to interview you. Please, please."

"But I really want to go back to Toulouse."

"I can go back with you."

"what?"

Liu Jin turned his head and glanced at Old Zhong beside him.

No, girl!
Do you really not consider Chinese people to be men?

For hundreds of kilometers, you were in a car with two grown men. Weren't you afraid something would happen?
He wanted to refuse, but as the words reached his lips, looking at Melissa's pleading face, his heart softened for no reason.

It was as if he saw himself in a past life.

After failing, they strive to find opportunities and plan a comeback.

At that time, he was like Melissa, unwilling to give up even the slightest chance!
"Get in the car!"

Ultimately, he is a soft-hearted god.

Liu Jin pushed open the car door and jumped out, then opened the passenger compartment door and waved for Melissa to get in.

……

Melissa Terio was born in 1978 in Grenoble.

You ask me where Grenoble is?
Yes, at the foot of the Alps!

I initially studied law for a year.

However, she later discovered that the legal profession was very complex, and a young woman like her with no connections had virtually no chance of getting ahead.

Liu Jin agreed with this.

Those who are suffering from drought will die of drought, and those who are suffering from flood will die of flood...

Look at Chloe, she hasn't even graduated yet, but she's already obtained her intern lawyer qualification.

My father is the chairman of the council of the bar association, and my mother owns a very strong law firm.

I interned with top lawyers.

The cases I was involved in were all major cases.

Mergers and acquisitions, criminal cases...

Many junior lawyers may spend their entire lives dealing with trivial, insignificant cases.

Chloe has access to resources that junior lawyers could never access in their entire lives, let alone cultivate connections with.

"So, you transferred schools?"

"It's not a transfer, it's dropping out of school."

After dropping out of the Paris Law School, I went home and studied for another year before being admitted to Grenoble III.

"Yes, the media studies programs at the top three universities are very strong. After I graduated, my advisor recommended me to LCI."

This is why you should choose the right school.

Why go to university?

You might think that the connections and relationships you cultivate after entering the workforce are impressive, but little do you know that the resources and circles you have while studying in university may be levels and circles that you could never cultivate or access in your entire life after entering the workforce.

Grenoble Third...

Universities with this kind of name usually have abundant resources.

Paris: First, second, and third year; Toulouse: First, second, and third year...

This is a well-established network!

Extremely well-connected.

Otherwise, why don't you try a regular school? See if you can get a job at the national television station after graduation.
Although LCI is not very well-known.

But news channels, those kinds of platforms, possess resources that ordinary people simply cannot imagine.

Sometimes, you see those amazing people, each with extraordinary achievements.

Sometimes, it's not that they are so amazing, but that the platform they are on is truly amazing.

"Is Grenoble University very strong?"

"Of course!"

Melissa looked proud.

"Grenoble University, also known as Grenoble Alpes University."

The first university has highly authoritative physics and chemistry programs in Europe; the second university is best in literature, sociology, philosophy, and history.

By the way, do you know Stendhal?

"Red and black, of course I know."

"He graduated from Grenoble Alpes II, which even has a Stendhal Academy."

She looked like a proud little peacock.

Liu Jin looked at her with amusement, but he could also understand her.

Suddenly, he frowned.

"Your name is Melissa Terio?"

"Yes!"

Liu Jin's face suddenly darkened.

Anger flashed in his eyes.

"So, you wrote that piece about the idiots causing trouble at Cannes?"

"what?"
