I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 397 Hey, Adriana!

Chapter 397 Hey, Adriana!
In 2003, there were no direct flights from Shanghai to Venice.

After considering it for a while, Liu Jin chose a direct flight to Milan.

He has a Schengen visa, so it's very convenient for him.

Once in Milan, he can rent a car and drive directly to Venice, which only takes two or three hours.

And you can also enjoy the Milanese atmosphere.

Okay, let's visit the San Siro stadium again.

Although he had long since lost interest in football, it was still his favorite team.

Which star players did AC Milan have in 2003?

forget!

……

A thirteen-hour flight.

It was already late when we landed in Milan.

Liu Jin hailed a taxi at the airport.

"The Bulgari Hotel on Via Montedi Pieta, thank you!"

He doesn't speak Italian, but he learned some in his past life.

Unfortunately, for some reason, I wasn't able to strengthen myself during my rebirth.

But Italian has one characteristic: if you just follow the letters and pronounce it, it's pretty much correct, and you won't make too many mistakes.

At least, the driver understood.

Moreover, the driver realized that Liu Jin didn't speak Italian, so they switched to English.

However, Liu Jin wasn't in much of a talkative mood.

After arriving at the hotel, I checked in smoothly.

Liu Jin then told the receptionist that he needed a car to go to Venice the next day.

"You are... Mr. Amos?"

Liu Jin was taken aback and looked at the front desk manager with a puzzled expression.

“I have read your book, ‘The Crucible,’ which has Amos Liu Jin’s name on it, which is why I am asking you this question.”

I almost forgot, I was quite famous in Italy last year, both big and small.

The book "The Crucible" added 1.5 million copies to his sales in Italy.

Although it can't compare to Spain, it's still pretty good!
"I'm."

"Great! Can I have your autograph?"

The front desk manager took out a well-worn book, which turned out to be a French edition.

You speak French?

"Of course!"

"That's great!"

Liu Jin smiled, signed his name, and then took the room key.

He chose a regular single room; there was no need to always stay in a luxury suite, and it made no sense.

Shortly after entering the room, the front desk called to inform Liu Jin that the hotel had prepared a Porsche for him.

“You can pick up your car at the Bulgari Hotel in Venice.”

Does Venice also have Bulgari?

"Of course."

"okay I know!"

After putting away his luggage, Liu Jin asked the front desk for international calling privileges and then dialed Emmanuel's number.

"You've already arrived in Italy?"

"Yes!"

"We'll be a few days late; we won't arrive in Venice until the day after tomorrow."

Emmanuel laughed and said, "Eva hasn't arrived yet, so we'll have to wait for her to join us."

"Is the hotel arranged?"

"Director Pierre Zulivi booked the Excelsior Hotel on Lido Island for us."

A very nice hotel, and the official hotel of the Venice Film Festival, boasting a superb beachfront location and Middle Eastern flair.

"So, I'm staying at this hotel too?"

"Of course, we're a team... Of course, if you want a convenient date with Eva, I'd recommend Cipriani, although it's not on Lido Island, so transportation will be a bit inconvenient; you'll have to take a boat. It's very private, but a bit pricey. At this time of year, the room rate is probably around 1500 euros. But you should be fine with that."

Emmanuel said with a smile, adding at the end: "Mr. Rich Man!"
Fortunately, Liu Jin had already learned about the Forbes announcement from Mela.

In fact, Forbes' figures are quite conservative, only estimating Liu Jin's income to be around one hundred million US dollars.

Liu Jin could accept this.

"Then I'll go with you guys. I'll drive there tomorrow. See you at the hotel then."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Jin immediately called Industrial Bank and booked a very comfortable king-size room at the Cipriani Hotel through them. His customer service manager quickly replied, informing him that the reservation was complete and providing him with the room number... Liu Jin could simply pick up his room key with his passport.

At the same time, registration is not required.

This is also a convenience for banks, as it further protects customer privacy. Liu Jin really likes this.

Having obtained the room number, he immediately sent an email to Eva.

The Cipriani Hotel will become his secret hideout for rendezvous with Eva.

Thank you, Emmanuel!
If she hadn't reminded him, Liu Jin probably wouldn't have remembered this.

With everything arranged, he collapsed onto the bed.

I'm a little mentally exhausted, but...

He slept the entire way on the plane.

I should have stayed in bed!
I'd rather type on the plane.

It's so troublesome not being able to control the time difference.

I checked the time; it was only ten o'clock.

Milan's nightlife was just beginning, so I got dressed and strolled out of the hotel, wandering the streets of Milan.

Milan at night is ablaze with lights and bustling activity.

Temptations are everywhere, but dangers lurk beneath the surface.

You need to discern this.

Some places are best avoided, while others are places where you can roam freely.

What places should we avoid?
Places with few people and a chaotic atmosphere generally don't have good public security.

Streets with bright lights and luxury stores are relatively safer.

Besides that, some famous scenic spots are also quite nice.

For example, the Victoria II Arcade.

There are glamorous shopping areas, as well as countless bars and RISTORANTE ELEGANTE (fine restaurants).

The arcades are arranged in a cross shape.

Although it was late, it was still very lively.

Liu Jin wandered aimlessly through the corridors, sometimes strolling through the shopping area, sometimes walking through the corridors filled with bars.

At the other end of the arcade is the famous La Scala opera house.

There were no performances tonight, so the opera house was closed. Liu Jin could only sit at the entrance and watch the crowds coming and going.

pretty good!
They can sit on the ground without being driven away.

It's much better than Hong Kong Island; at least here they won't kick you out just because you're Asian.

On the contrary, the Chinese people are subjected to humiliation on Chinese soil!

This is also a major reason why Liu Jin has been unwilling to go to Hong Kong since his rebirth.

Sometimes, Chinese people can be quite shameless. Even when someone clearly doesn't like you, you still insist on getting close to them, and then you accuse them of discriminating against you...

Anyway, none of them are good stuff!

……

"Amos?"

Just as Liu Jin was sitting on the ground to rest, he suddenly heard someone call his name.

Moreover, it sounds somewhat familiar.

Turning my head, I was greeted by a pair of long and sexy legs.

Looking up from her thighs, she was graceful and voluptuous, with alluring curves.

Upwards...

Liu Jin couldn't help laughing.

"Adriana, it's been a long time!"

"It's really you!"

Two tall, beautiful women were walking towards him.
