I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 293 Conflict!

The show "The Truth" has finished airing.

But the discussion among the guests continued.

The topics covered a wide range of issues, including discussions about stealing the country, RQ and MZ, and praise for Melissa's courage...

However, there is very little discussion about Liu Jin.

The focus was mainly on two French journalists, Melissa and Rémy.

For their courage, for their integrity...

It showcases the noble character of the French.

Well, Liu Jin doesn't count!

But Liu Jin's mind was no longer on television.

He was reflecting on Mr. Lu's words and his actions since his rebirth.

I must admit, he's gotten a little cocky!

The act of instigating Melissa to conduct the interview was somewhat crude and reckless.

He should have been more cautious.

The wisest course of action is to distance yourself from the incident.

After all, if this matter were investigated thoroughly, even a small, insignificant country like the one that stole the country would be beyond his ability to handle.

Looking back on my previous actions...

A beautiful life is not a big problem.

But Pirates of the Caribbean, to be honest, is a bit risky.

Fortunately, he established himself in France first, and the timing of Pirates of the Caribbean's publication was just right.

If it had been published a month later, the outcome might have been different.

In the future, we should try to reduce such interception actions to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Hollywood is not just the entertainment industry.

That's more like an ideological tool used by the victims...

Making money, no problem.

Those who use ideological tools against their victims will never tolerate such actions.

To put it bluntly, it wouldn't be impossible for him to hang himself or shoot himself... those people are no saints.

Be cautious, even more cautious.

He is very weak!

Even if someone has some money, it's nothing compared to those big shots.

……

Liu Jin set a red line for himself.

He can provoke petty people, he can provoke Koreans, but he should try not to touch the victims.

And this is even more true of his works.

To maximize the role of Chinese people, to maximize China's influence, to enhance the positive image of Chinese people, and to break down so-called stereotypes and prejudices.

Ah!
Black sticks, a life of hardship, but it can continue.

However, strategy is key!
Liu Jin thought for a moment, then got up, took out his notebook from his bag, opened it, and wrote a few lines on it.

"Miracle in Cell No. 7", by Zheng Yuanbian.

Full Metal Jacket, Iwo Jima.

After finishing writing, he closed the notebook, picked up the noodles that had long since gone cold, and ate them with gusto.

After tidying up, I turned off the TV and prepared to go upstairs.

The phone suddenly rang.

It's Melissa Terio.

"Melissa, are you alright?"

“Mr. Amos, I’m sorry for the late contact. I’ve been busy with the production of ‘The Truth’ since I returned at the end of last month. Thank you for providing me with this message.”

"Nothing, this is what I should do."

After saying this, Liu Jin himself felt a little disgusted.

He's become hypocritical!

"No, actually, if you hadn't finished your work first, probably no one would have known about this crime."

I originally wanted to invite you to participate in the program.

but……"

"Haha, I understand, Melissa. This isn't something you can decide. I can understand that."

France 2 is so irresponsible; how could they possibly let a Chinese person share in the glory?

Melissa repeatedly expressed her gratitude to him over the phone and suggested staying in touch to try and continue their cooperation.

Liu Jin readily agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Jin couldn't help but laugh.

They're all smart people!
I believe it won't be long before Melissa becomes famous in France.

Perhaps they really can continue to work together!
……

The broadcast of "The Truth" caused a huge uproar.

The country's poor performance in the World Cup has gradually faded after nearly two months of downplaying.

Football is more important than life.

But life isn't just about football.

Ordinary people are busy making a living, so they don't have time to care about these things every day.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that France is not a victim, after all, their elimination from the group stage was purely due to their own lack of effort.

However, Italy, Portugal, and Spain have never stopped criticizing.

The Italian and Portuguese versions of "The Crucible" were also published in mid-August, and the results... were alright.

But it doesn't compare to sales in Spain.

It is estimated that the combined sales of the three books will add two million copies to Liu Jin's sales.

That’s about it!
However, the airing of "The Truth" brought "Silenced" back into the public eye.

France took the lead in criticizing the move, followed by three other countries, and then Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and other countries joined in.

In just a few days, a wave of action emerged. RQ organizations, organizations protecting minors, and organizations protecting vulnerable groups all followed suit.

They were indispensable in stirring up this kind of thing.

The attacks and investigations targeting a country, in particular, really got them excited, and they all eagerly stepped forward to express their opinions.

A wave of anti-Ban movement gradually formed.

Monday, the 16th.

China suddenly announced that a reporter, XXX, from a newspaper in southern China, went missing in 2001 while reporting on the news in the United States and has not been found to this day.

Meanwhile, an article was unearthed from a certain website.

The content is about a school for the deaf and mute...

The evidence is conclusive.

The missing journalist's date of birth, ethnicity, workplace, experiences, and published articles were all unearthed.

Subsequently, the Chinese Embassy in Belgium formally issued a note to Belgium, requesting an investigation to locate the journalist.

Throughout the entire process, China never mentioned that the reporter had any connection with the school for the deaf and mute.

But it all points to schools for the deaf and mute.

Even the petty rascals didn't miss this opportunity to show their faces, and immediately jumped out to criticize.

Subsequently, the news reached Europe, which intensified the criticism of the thief from various European countries.

A storm is forming!
……

Liu Jin saw the news and couldn't help but laugh.

When it really matters, your family will always protect you!

Once the chain of evidence was established, Liu Jin was completely extricated from the matter, and no one paid any attention to him anymore.

However, this incident also led to a surge in sales of "Silenced" in Europe.

Random House was initially hesitant about whether to publish "The Crucible".

After all, America doesn't care about the lives of her fellow countrymen.

But the storm had already formed, and the whole of America was talking about it. When the documentary "The Truth" was being discussed, Random House no longer hesitated.

What allies!

Don't stop me from making money!
In September, the English version of "The Crucible" was officially released.

Against the backdrop of the documentary "The Crucible" and the nationwide discussion on the matter, "The Crucible" broke one million sales in its first week of release, dethroning "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" from its fourteen-week reign as number one.

"Amos, Congratulations on your potential nomination for the Pulitzer Prize for 'The Crucible'."

"Isn't it 'The Old Man and the Sea'?"

Liu Jin asked with some doubt.

"It's an award for outstanding public service in the news category, while The Old Man and the Sea is an award for creative fiction. They're different."

"How did the melting pot become news?"

"Isn't he news?"

Ms. Luo from Senqu answered with a smile.

Yes, how can it not be news!

The whole world is talking about it; that's news.

Liu Jin couldn't help laughing.

……

September 23rd marks the start of another week.

School has officially started!

Although the course started last week, due to the special nature of the international class, this week's course is actually quite relaxed.

As international students gradually return, teaching has returned to normal.

Jimmy, you've gotten even darker!

He said the abundant sunshine in the Pampas made him feel like he was back in Africa.

"Have you been to Africa?"

"No, I was born in America."

"Then why are you talking about Africa?"

"This... is just a feeling."

Blood ties?

Liu Jin thought to himself.

Martina exclaimed excitedly, "Amos, I never imagined that your book, 'The Crucible,' was based on a real event."

"South Korea is so despicable!"

As she spoke, she glanced at Zoe.

Yes, it's that American-Korean mixed-race one.

Martina and Zoe had conflicts from the very first year of the international program.

It's highly likely because Martina's figure and face are better than hers, so she often crickets Martina in private.

After that, Martina and Liu Jin became very close, which made her increasingly displeased with them.

She often boasts about her stolen heritage.

Only this time...

She heard Martina's words but did not refute them.

And you can't refute it!
Haven't you seen the TV stations repeatedly broadcasting the documentary "The Crucible"?
Liu Jin smiled but didn't respond to the topic.

Instead, he put his arm around Brian and Jimmy and walked outside, intending to go for a smoke.

Harper, who was sitting next to Catherine Tee and Zheng Hui, suddenly stood up and followed Liu Jin and the other two out.

Four people walked past the door of a classroom, just as three men with very distinct Middle Eastern features came out.

The man in the lead saw Liu Jin and suddenly smiled.

"Qinqiang opera is poor!"

He greeted Liu Jin, but at the same time pulled at the corner of his eye with his finger, making a squinting gesture.

Liu Jin's expression immediately changed!
