I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 46 Let the Bullets Fly for a While (Please Read, Collect, and Recommend)

"So, 3700 copies, is that good or bad?"

When Liu Jin woke up, it was already early morning.

Mela and Chloe had a good schedule, had returned from exercise, and had made a simple breakfast.

A large plate of scrambled eggs, cheese, and a choice of juice or milk.

And a big box of cereal.

Chloe likes cereal with milk, and Mela likes juice.

As for Liu Jin, he never refused anyone who came to him.

First, he soaked a bowl of cereal with milk, then poured a glass of juice, spread butter on the hot toast, put the scrambled eggs on it, put another piece of toast on it, and started to eat it voraciously.

In contrast, Mela and Chloë were much more refined.

"That's great. It's only been a few days, not even a week."

Chloe chewed and spoke vaguely.

"Not necessarily. We'll have to wait and see... The current strong performance is mainly due to the effective promotion we did earlier. Alice's help was a major factor. Plus, your 200,000 bet from Marlene also stimulated purchases."

The key depends on the market reaction, it won’t come out so quickly.

Many people buy books and then put them aside to read in their spare time.”

"That's true."

Liu Jin nodded repeatedly.

That's the kind of person he is.

My greatest pleasure in my previous life was buying books. I bought a lot of books, but I didn’t have time to read them.

Later on, every time they moved, the movers would feel miserable.

Carrying two or three hundred boxes of books is definitely a very difficult task.

That’s a real weight!
"But don't worry, ten thousand books won't be a big problem."

Chloe smiled and said, "Judging from the current popularity, selling 10,000 copies before the end of the month should be easy."

"What about the 30,000 copies?"

"It won't be a big problem. Don't forget, we still have the bet with Farne.

As long as 10,000 copies are sold, there will be another wave of popularity... But after that, it will take time to test! But 30,000 copies will not be a problem, don't worry. Liu, I have confidence in you. But I am a little unsure about "Little Sweethearts".

Chloe finished her cereal with milk and licked her lips.

"I don't understand why you wrote this story."

"what happened?"

“I don’t know… I know it’s a good story, but when I watched it, it was very difficult for me.

Emily and Julian are a pair of bitches, a pair of... I can't describe the feeling, they are just bitches..."

"Pretentious?"

"almost."

Meila laughed and said, “But that’s the core of the story, isn’t it?
The same growth, but there are two Emily... I was also filled with anger when reading this book. But it is very attractive. "

"Yeah, they were so crazy at first, why did they become so cowardly later?"

Liu Jin finished drinking the orange juice and wiped his mouth with a piece of paper.

“Maybe this is the price of growing up.”

"The price of growing up?"

Meera's eyes lit up.

"That's a great slogan, I'll use it when the time comes!"

“Will the royalties increase?”

Chloe picked up a piece of toast and threw it at him.

"miser!"

……

Yes, I am a money-lover!
But who in this world is not a money-grubber?

Liu Jin left Mela's house and rode his scooter all the way to the city.

The sun is shining brightly and I feel very happy.

It's just a bit cold...

It’s December!
2000 will soon pass.

All in all, this was a successful start.

I have written two books and the third is about to be completed.

The royalties from the two books totaled 1 yuan, the money from teaching Alice to dance was yuan, and the planning fee from TF was yuan.

In the blink of an eye, it was one million francs.

If the book "Father" is included, I should be able to get another 300,000.

By the end of 2000, I became a millionaire!
It’s good, much better than my previous life…

Liu Jin felt happy when he thought about the money that was about to arrive.

But then he thought again, although one million francs may seem like a lot, it is only a few hundred thousand dollars.

No, I have to work harder!
In order to be able to live a life of debauchery until death in the future, I have to work harder next year!
Novels like Amélie can be put aside for the time being. I need to write a few books that make money, the kind that can make a lot of money.

However, Singla's size...

He had to think about this matter seriously.

After all, he didn't want the publishing issue to affect his friendship with Mela and the others.

Phew, I have a headache!
……

Back in the city, Liu went into the boxing gym.

After taking a shower and tidying myself up, I said goodbye and left.

"Asshole, what do you think this place is? A bathhouse?"

Abel roared angrily.

Rust just laughed.

"What are you laughing at? Do one hundred squats, quick!"

"It was Liu who provoked you."

"I know, but he's running too fast!"

...Back to school, end of vacation.

Liu Jin continued his study abroad life.

The noise from the outside world had no effect on him.

What he needs to do is to finish "Father" as soon as possible so that he can celebrate the New Year happily.

He likes school life because there is not so much intrigue.

Although Ma Jun would provoke from time to time, in Liu Jin's opinion, such provocation was more like children playing house.

False provocation: a war of words.

The real provocation: I’ll use money to beat you to the point where you’re worse off than dead.

After the experience of "Florian's Daydream", the creation speed of "Father" suddenly became smooth.

This also made Liu Jin very happy.

At the weekend, he sent home 200,000 francs.

After all, that period in my previous life was so painful!

The failure of several books in a row has doubled the pressure on the family.

In this life, he doesn't want his family to experience that feeling again.

As a result, my father called me early on Monday morning.

There is a seven-hour time difference between France and China. It is still early morning for Liu Jin, but it is already afternoon at home.

As in all the scenes of sending money home, Dad's tone was particularly stern.

"What did you do?"

"What did I do?"

"Why did you send so much money back?"

"Your son is making money, aren't you happy?"

"I'm freaking out. What were you doing out there? Where did you get all that money?"

"Hey, old man, congratulations! Your son has become a writer, and his book has been published in France. Don't you think I'm awesome?"

"Hahaha, you have to make me believe your lies, you? A writer?"

"What's wrong? Can't I?"

"You? Your sister helped you write your composition when you were in school."

A female voice came from the phone.

"Dude, you wrote a book? Stop kidding! You?"

"Liu, can't I?"

"With your elementary school essays describing your homeroom teacher as 'bold and strong', you're still a writer? And you're even publishing in France?"

Dark history, a dark history that can never be avoided.

Isn’t it just a fourth-grade composition: My homeroom teacher.

When Liu Jin described his class teacher, he used the word "broad-shouldered and strong-willed".

There is nothing wrong with this word.

The key point is that his homeroom teacher is a female teacher, about thirty years old, with a strong build...

Liu Jin's mother asked him to revise it.

Finally he changed it back.

His head teacher was so angry...

"Really the royalties from writing a book?"

"Why would I lie to you? Because of this book, your son has been discriminated against by the French. He's been going crazy these past few days with his mouth-to-mouth."

"Wait a minute, you said it was published in France, in French?"

"Yes?"

"Come on, brag! When did you become so good at French?"

It is the responsibility of all sisters to punish their younger brothers.

Questioning their younger brothers is also a natural skill of all older sisters.

When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately became angry.

You looked down on me in my last life, and you still look down on me in this life. Then wasn’t my rebirth in vain?
He immediately started to speak in French.

Until his sister interrupted him, "What were you talking about?"

"French, French!"

"No, you won't know how to do it before you leave..."

"That's because I don't want to show off... My Japanese is pretty good, and my English is pretty good too. How about giving it a try?"

"Just try it!"

My sister's English is not bad.

But in the end, he was left speechless by Liu Jin's criticism.

After hanging up the phone, my sister looked at my father with circles still flickering in her eyes.

"Is this my brother?"

She hesitated for a moment and asked in an incredulous tone.

Liu Jin has always been a trouble-maker, and he's always been good at stirring up trouble. But...

It's not clear whether he has written any books, but his English is really good, better than hers.

Moreover, the two hundred thousand francs were clearly lying in the bank, which made her feel an unprecedented sense of frustration.

Dad hesitated for a moment, put on his clothes, picked up the passbook and remittance slip and walked out.

"Dad, where are you going?"

"I need to go to work and explain to them that I've lived a clean life, and now that I'm old, I'm suddenly receiving francs... If I don't explain clearly, who knows what the higher-ups will think of me. Let them check it out, and everything will be clear."

My mother, who had remained silent all this time, spoke at this moment.

"You're going to show off."

Dad paused, then slammed the door shut.

A bright smile also appeared on my mother's face!
