I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 354 Farewell

Chapter 354 Farewell
Liu Jin stayed in Toulouse for four days.

Qianqian came back on Friday.

I had a meal with Liu Jin.

The next morning, I took Alizee out shopping.

In her words, she hadn't seen Alizee for a long time and missed her terribly.

Alizee was reluctant, but due to Qianqian's enthusiasm, she could only reluctantly spend the whole day with her outside.

And you still say you're unwilling?
Seeing the two girls return with bags full of purchases, looking completely satisfied, Liu Jin could only roll his eyes at them.

On Sunday, Liu Jin hosted a banquet at his home.

Deng Fei and Handsome were invited to dinner.

Ever since handsome reminded him about his internship, Liu Jin had been grateful for that favor.

Handsome is interning at a trading company in Toulouse and is doing quite well.

However, he has already decided to return to China after graduation.

"This is ultimately a foreign country, not home."

No matter how well you do, you're still a second-class citizen. Unlike you, I can't write books or have connections. If I stay here, I'll probably work myself to death and still just be an ordinary person. ESC TOULOUUSE is a prestigious European university, after all. If I go back, my family can pull some strings and I shouldn't have trouble finding a decent job. At least I won't have to be subservient to others like I am here.”

Where is Zhang Pei?

"Zhang Pei has decided to stay; he plans to immigrate."

I didn't expect that.

Handsome, who initially declared he would never return to China until he made a name for himself after arriving in the country, turned out to be the first to decide to go back.

On the contrary, Zhang Pei, who had been saying he wanted to go back to China after arriving in Toulouse, ended up staying.

Which is better or worse?

It's all just a choice.

Returning to China doesn't necessarily mean you'll do poorly.

We'll see in twenty years...

However, Liu Jin was still quite emotional.

The Henan group that came to France together back then has long since fallen apart.

Da Dong, needless to say, went back long ago.

After Liu Sisi went to America, she disappeared without a trace.

As for Yang Dongqi and Sun Yue, they have very little contact with Liu Jin these days. In fact, they all went their separate ways starting last year.

Therefore, Liu Jin did not contact them when he returned this time.

Handsome, on the other hand, knows some inside information.

Yang Dongqi has decided to stay and work in the aerospace city after graduation.

He had worked as a translator before, and with the increasing cooperation between China and France this year, he now works as a translator at a precision machinery company in the aerospace city, mainly communicating with domestic entities. He has a natural advantage in this area, so his boss values him highly.

Moreover, Yang Dongqi's visa was changed to a work visa at the end of last year.

In other words, even if he doesn't get his diploma, he can still get the job.

It's just a matter of how much salary you get.

Ma Jie told Ma Jun about this in private.

Ma Jie was so envious!

He still hasn't received his work visa.

"Where's Yueyue?"

"Him?" Handsome shook his head and said, "I'm not too sure, but he'll probably stay too."

Well, everyone has a bright future ahead of them.

……

That evening, Qianqian returned to school.

Before leaving, Liu Jin reminded her to start thinking about her major.

Qianqian obediently agreed.

Alizee didn't leave; she stayed at home for another night.

It wasn't until the next day that she drove Liu Jin to the airport.

Liu Jin needs to fly to Paris first, and then fly directly to America... Actually, it doesn't matter if he doesn't go, Little Li will definitely take care of it for him.

But after thinking about it, I decided to go anyway.

I'll study my thesis in seclusion there, and then travel around sometime.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to relax.

However, after arriving in Paris, a phone call disrupted Liu Jin's plans.

Mr. Lu called and invited him to dinner.

Originally, he wanted to see Mela first, but Mr. Lu's call made him decide to see Mr. Lu first instead.

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Mr. Lu looked much more haggard.

"DSG is holding a social gathering this Chinese New Year, and we originally wanted to invite you, but you went to America instead..."

"Well, I had no choice."

"So busy, yet you still sang with Shakira?"

"what?"

Mr. Lu couldn't help but laugh out loud: "She's currently holding a concert in London. She said in an interview that she regretted not being able to invite you."

"I really don't know, I'm too busy."

"Is the movie finished filming?"

"Ah."

"How does it feel?"

"It shouldn't be too bad, we should be able to get it for twenty or thirty million US dollars."

"Twenty or thirty million US dollars? In Europe?"

"North America."

"That's not bad either." After exchanging a few words, the two suddenly fell silent.

"I'm going back to China next week!"

"..."

"After I go back, I will work in the African Department. We might meet again in China."

"Who knows, maybe one day you'll come back."

"That's hard to say!"

Mr. Lu laughed heartily.

That's for sure, the future is bright!

Liu Jin couldn't help but laugh.

"The next DS is a France expert, but he is expected to take office a little later."

From now on, my work will be handled by Comrade Liang Xiaofei. I'll give you his contact information; you can contact him if you need any help.

He'll contact you directly if anything comes up.

This is a kind of trust.

But after a moment of contemplation, Liu Jin said softly, "Let's try to minimize contact."

"Ok?"

Mr. Lu's face darkened.

Liu Jin laughed and said, "From now on, I will most likely have frequent contact with the victims."

I'm not saying all victims are bad people, but there are definitely bad people among them... I hope to spread Chinese culture in my own way. Too much contact with the authorities will inevitably provoke resistance from some people, which isn't a good thing.

Moreover, what I'm going to do in the future might be seen by the authorities as... somewhat inappropriate.

This will also have an impact on you.

I hope to work here as a completely independent individual, and whether I succeed or not, it will be my personal matter.

The future world is unpredictable and turbulent.

Huafa, Huamei, Huaou...

The relationship is complicated.

Liu Jin did not want to leave too deep an official mark on himself.

That would cause him a lot of trouble, and would also create a lot of trouble for the country.

Mr. Lu's expression softened slightly.

"what are you up to?"

"Black Sun, Black Stick, Black Beauty, Black Europe..."

"Forehead!"

Mr. Lu, I suddenly don't know what to say anymore.

He looked at Liu Jin and said softly, "Why are you doing this?"

"Nothing much, I just find it interesting!" Liu Jin chuckled, picking up a piece of boiled beef with his chopsticks. He said softly, "I have a feeling that the future world will be very chaotic. I just want to stir things up in it."

"That's up to you."

Mr. Lu breathed a sigh of relief when he confirmed that Liu Jin would not immigrate.

After all, he is now a prominent overseas cultural figure who receives significant attention in China.

"Mr. Lu, there's something I'm having trouble saying."

"you say!"

"You'll be in Africa next... Don't be too nice to Africans!"

They prefer whips and shackles; unconditional sacrifice will only lead to a repeat of what happened to their southern neighbor years ago.

We Chinese are too kind, too naive!

"You can't say that. You've read Mao's Selected Works, so what did the first article say?"

Unite all who can be united.

"Yes, unite all those who can be united. The key is 'can be united,' not 'unite' itself!"

Liu Jin picked up his wine glass and clinked it against Mr. Lu's glass. "Being too kind is not good. Giving too much will make people think you are weak and easy to bully."

A gentleman deceives others.

I would prefer my family to be less of a gentleman.

Because the outside world is mostly populated by barbarians and thugs..."

After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.

"I'm just a writer. I don't understand anything about vision or composure, let alone long-term perspective."

I just feel that dealing with those people is pointless if we have a long-term vision; they don't. And no matter how strong our long-term vision is, it's useless anyway, don't you think? Everyone's focused on their immediate surroundings, barely able to feed themselves, so what's the point of talking about the long term?

"go on."

"Actually, there's not much to say; everyone in China understands."

I recently read a book that discussed the Opium War.

In 1840, the British Foreign Secretary famously said: "If the Chinese hadn't destroyed their opium, how could we have fired our cannons?"

I'm not sure if he actually said that.

But this statement is very representative of Western ideas.

Brother Lu, that's all I can say. You can use it as a reference. If I'm wrong, just ignore it.

Mr. Lu did not speak.

He just kept replaying Liu Jin's words in his mind.

Actually, the reason is very simple.

It's easy to understand if you think about it.

but……
