I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 279 Consultation with Guangdong Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security
How many girlfriends does Liu Jin actually have?

Now, it remains a mystery to the old lady.

But the good news is, she has found one!
She had a small notebook containing a list of Liu Jin's rumored girlfriends that Qianqian had found online.

Sophie Marceau has already been crossed off her little notebook.

Currently, the notebook also contains the following name: Emily (coffee shop girl), with a 10% probability;

Heidi Klum (German model), divorced and with children, not considered, 10% chance;

Alizee (French singer), Xiao Jin wrote songs for her (Xiao Jin can write songs? I never knew that), the probability is 60%;

Eva (unknown). Xiao Jin's cat is named Eva, indicating a close relationship. Women's clothing was found in Xiao Jin's house, most likely left behind by Eva, with an 80% probability.

Adriana Lima (supermodel), walking around in lingerie, is indecent. Probability: 40%.
Angelina Jolie (who is Angelina Jolie?), probability, 40%.

Ten percent is practically impossible.

The old lady, wearing reading glasses, looked at the list in her small notebook.

What happened to Xiao Jin?

Has he really become a coward?

I've only been in France for a short time, how come there are so many women...?

This doesn't even include Mela and Chloe.

The old lady's top choice was Ottilie, but she ended up with an older man, so she has basically been ruled out by the old lady.

Capitalist society!
She sighed.

I have a worry in my heart: will this list be expanded in the future?

I feel that it's very likely.

And with so many women, how could Xiao Jin possibly succeed?
The old lady felt a bit of a headache!

……

Life in Toulouse moves at a slow pace.

If you're going to the space city area, you might be a bit nervous.

However, in the old town, most people are listless, giving the impression that they have nothing to do.

This is not a city for young people to strive for.

But for the elderly, this kind of lazy and leisurely feeling, as if time has stopped, is extremely suitable.

In Liu Jin's memory, Chengdu was like this before 08. But after 08, it seemed as if the speed-up button was suddenly pressed, and the pace of life suddenly became faster. Twenty years later, when you look back, it seems that the leisurely pace is no longer there.

Well, that's just my personal opinion!

Aside from the language barrier, the old lady felt everything was fine.

She was a little dissatisfied with seeing Qianqian doing nothing.

She's at the age where she should be striving, yet she's out shopping every day, acting like a spoiled brat, not at all like a mature woman.

"I'm not that big to begin with!"

"That's not OK!"

The old lady turned to look at Liu Jin, who was sitting to the side, and said, "You, as his uncle, aren't you going to do anything about it?"

"My uncle has an even more leisurely life than I do."

Liu Jin was just watching the show, but when he heard Qianqian's words, a murderous glint appeared in his eyes.

Qianqian, you've already chosen a path to your death!

"Can you compare to your uncle? Your uncle's hand isn't fully healed yet. Besides, he writes and paints every day. Why don't you mention that?"

"I……"

"Mom, didn't Qianqian say she was going to study in France?"
"How about this, I'll find her a French school and let her gain experience for two months. If that doesn't work out, she can go back; if it's useful, I'll have someone find her a school and change her visa to a student visa while I'm at it, what do you think?"

Qianqian sensed a strong sense of malice.

"Uncle, what are you trying to do?"

What do I want to do?
Think about how many pitfalls you've dug for me since I came to France!

Liu Jin felt a chill in his heart, but a kind smile appeared on his face. "What are you saying? What bad intentions could I possibly have?"

I'm simply trying to learn from you and gain more knowledge.

Mom, the language schools in Montpellier are really good, and they're close to Toulouse too.

Let her go and train on her own for a month... I'll find her a school, what do you think?"

Studying abroad?

The old lady couldn't make up her mind.

After all, she's not her daughter; it's her mother's decision.

However, Liu Jin's suggestion was good.

It would be a real shame to let her drift aimlessly for months on end.

"Uncle, are you still my uncle? Where is Montpellier? I came here with Grandma on a trip, why do I have to learn French?"
Besides, how could you leave me alone in another city?

"You can't say that. Didn't you also study English alone in Beijing back in China?"

Is it the same?

Qianqian got angry!
I'm here to have fun, not to go to school.

“Qianqian, look, you said it yourself, you’re here to accompany Grandma.”

Grandma's here with me now, so you don't need to worry. Besides, you can't go out playing with Mela and the others every day for such a long time. You're free, but everyone else is busy too; you can't just laze around all day." "Uncle, I'm not lazing around at all!"

You are always idle and lazy.

The old lady was intrigued. "How about studying for a month or two?"

"That's right. In that environment, after a month or two, even if you're not proficient, you'll at least improve in terms of communication skills."

"Then it's decided!"

Liu Jin immediately jumped up from the sofa, grabbed the phone, and walked out.

"uncle!"

Qianqian's shrill voice came from behind.

But Liu Jin ignored it.

……

And so, Qianqian's tragic fate was sealed.

This is actually not difficult. Studying here from within China and studying here are two completely different concepts.

However, Liu Jin's idea of ​​exiling her to Montpellier ultimately failed to materialize.

The old lady was worried too!

So, through Ottilie, he found a language school in Toulouse.

It is an affiliated language school of the University of Toulouse II.

Many students who intend to apply to the University of Toulouse II will study French here for a year.

As for whether she stays or not?

It's none of Liu Jin's business.

That's for her mother to decide.

His life was very peaceful.

I spend my days writing and drawing, and when I have free time, I take my dog ​​and cat with me as I wander around Toulouse with my mom.

I feel like my mom is getting happier and happier!
That day, Liu Jin took the old lady to visit Capitol Square.

The elderly woman was tired from walking, so the two of them ate at the restaurant of the GRAND HOTEL DE L'OPERA, located next to the French Opera. This restaurant is a Michelin one-star hotel situated in the hotel's inner courtyard garden.

The hotel was originally the Holy Martial Academy, founded in 1359.

It was converted into a hotel in 1909 and is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Toulouse.

Chef Stephen is Liu Jin's friend and also his reader.

Originally, you need to make a reservation to eat here, but Liu Jin made a phone call to Stephen and got a table easily arranged.

It was afternoon, and the sun was quite strong.

The temperature in Toulouse has reached over 30 degrees Celsius.

The unique rose-red hue of Toulouse also made it feel particularly hot.

I sat in the restaurant, enjoying the air conditioning.

I feel much better...

It wasn't dinner time yet, but Stephen arranged afternoon tea.

The old lady sat in a chair, dressed in GUCCI, looking every bit like an empress dowager.

She took a sip of Stephen's special black tea, Sri Lankan black tea, with lemon and a touch of base liquor, mixed with fruit juice and mint.

Finally, there were two green olives, which looked quite pleasing to the eye.

Liu Jin couldn't stand Sri Lankan black tea, always feeling that the spices were too strong.

He ordered a beer and sat with his mother under the parasol, looking out at the empty square beyond the railing.

The sunlight shone down, as if a halo of light enveloped it.

The wind, though carrying heat, became much gentler after entering the inner garden, making people feel very comfortable.

Liu Jin also enjoyed this leisurely time.

In his past life, he never had a proper time with the old lady, sitting like this, saying nothing, just sitting quietly.

do you know?

It was a very warm feeling.

The phone rang suddenly.

Liu Jin closed his eyes and reached out to answer the phone.

"My mother and I were in the inner garden of the Opera Hotel near Capitol Square..."

"Yes, it's Stephen's side."

"You're coming over? What's up?"

"Guangdong Provincial Human Resources and Social Security Bureau?"

Liu Jin suddenly opened his eyes and sat up straight.

"Okay, I'll wait for you."
