I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 622 The First Day in Nishimura

2006 10 Month 6 Day.

According to Chinese custom, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a day for family reunion.

But Liu Jin was pushing a luggage cart with two stray dogs tied to it.

Eva the Tanuki cat carrier is on the luggage cart.

After a long journey of more than ten hours, Eva the Cat was curled up in her cat carrier, dozing off.

Liu Jin stood outside Exit 35 in the arrival hall, looking completely bewildered.

He had already arranged with Eva before he arrived that she would come to pick him up.

But all the passengers on their flight had already left, and Eva still hadn't appeared.

what's the situation?
This wasn't his first time in New York.

This is indeed the first time I've encountered this situation.

I just got off the plane, and I haven't gotten a SIM card yet.

Although his French mobile number was usable, no one answered when I called twice.

This made Liu Jin feel very uneasy!

Is this a case of standing someone up?
……

"Amos!"

Just as Liu Jin was getting a little impatient and was about to call a taxi, a fragrant breeze wafted from behind him.

The two stray dogs immediately stood up, bowed, and growled.

But once they saw who it was, they immediately returned to their original state.

Liu Jin turned around in a flash and saw a figure rushing towards him.

He reached out and grabbed the person, the force of which still made him take two steps back before he regained his balance.

"Eva, you look like you've gained weight!"

"You're the one who's gotten fat, you jerk!"

Eva giggled, wrapped her arms around Liu Jin's neck, and wrapped her two long, straight, and very strong legs around Liu Jin's waist.

Liu Jin couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He held Eva and spun her around twice.

Eva then got off him.

“Julie, Adrian… Amos, why did you bring them here?”

"It's not good to always keep them on the estate."

Not only the two of them, Eva came too!

Eva squatted down and teased the two big ones a few times.

Then she looked up and saw that Eva the Tanuki had woken up and was peeking out of her carrier, her yellow eyes staring at her.

Tilting its head, it seemed to be asking: "Human, why do I feel like I've seen you before?"

Eva quickly stood up, took the tabby cat out of the carrier, held it in her arms, and then gave it a loving hug.

She and the tanuki hadn't seen each other for a long time...

"Where's the car?"

"Let's go to the parking lot."

Eva carried the raccoon dog forward, while Liu Jin pushed the luggage cart, with the two large animals following beside her.

She was wearing a white trench coat and sunglasses.

Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, making her look exceptionally stylish and full of energy.

The two crossed the driveway, attracting a lot of attention along the way.

Many rednecks looked at Liu Jin with resentment. Perhaps in their eyes, how could a big beauty like Eva walk with an Asian? However, judging from Liu Jin's demeanor, he didn't seem like someone to be trifled with.

"Amos, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be late."

The school added an extra class at the last minute, so... otherwise, I definitely would have arrived early.

"Humph!"

"Don't be angry."

"I thought someone was going to stand me up."

"I won't stand you up unless you stand me up."

You've been doing really well lately, going to Germany to watch a football match and filming a movie. I thought you'd forgotten about me.

"Hehe, I may forget anyone, but I will never forget you."

Where is Alizee?

"Forehead……"

Eva pouted and snorted.

Liu Jin, who had originally held an absolute advantage, suddenly lost half of his momentum.

……

Two people, two dogs, and a cat pushed a luggage cart into the parking lot and stopped in front of a Saab Ban.

"your car?"

"It's yours... You've always said you like muscle cars, and since you're going to Columbia University soon, it's definitely not suitable for you to drive a flashy car. This car sells quite well in America, and I reckon it will catch your eye."

"Hehe, I really like it."

Liu Jin put the luggage into the car.

The two boys jumped into the car and obediently sat in the back seat.

Eva, holding Eva, sat in the passenger seat.

Why are you sitting in the passenger seat?

"You're driving... Anyway, you're familiar with this area, so it's good to get acquainted with the roads beforehand."

She smiled slyly.

Liu Jin sighed. He was still the same as before, always trying to be clever.

I'll drive it!

He got into the car and turned on the car's computer.

"where to?"

76 Perry St.

"76 Parry Street... Nishimura?"

"Ok!"

"That's where the old money lives... Wait, Parry Street? That sounds familiar!"

"Hehe, the filming location for Sex and the City."

"You rented a place over there? Those are all townhouses, the rent isn't cheap."

Townhouse, also known as terraced house.

Liu Jin set the location on the navigation system and started the car.

"$750 million."

"That's really not cheap..."

The car braked suddenly.

"How many?"

"$750 million."

Liu Jin was startled, but quickly realized what was happening.

"You bought it?" "Yes, it's 5000 square feet, with a five-story house including a cellar, six bedrooms, six bathrooms, a rooftop terrace, and an indoor swimming pool..."

Eva said with a grin.

"Why did you buy such a big house?"

"You like big ones, huh? Look at all the houses you bought in France, none of them are smaller than 5000 square feet... And when you come here, you'll definitely meet some old friends. If you live in a bad place, people will look down on you."

Let me tell you, that house is really amazing.

"You can see the Hudson River from your terrace..."

After listening to Eva's words, Liu Jin felt a warmth in his heart for no apparent reason.

He started the car again and drove out of the parking lot.

He listened as Eva sat beside him, holding and playing with her while enthusiastically describing the house to him.

"how much is it?"

"Three million!"

Where did you get so much money?

Eva Green has acted in quite a few films over the years.

Although Rick Yorn didn't take much of the credit, Eva's salary wasn't particularly high.

So far, the highest it has reached is no more than 150 million.

This is even with her having several best-selling works; otherwise, the figure might be even lower.

We've talked about Hollywood before, where over 70 percent of projects are monopolized by the Five Eyes alliance and Jewish actors.

Eva's situation is much better, thanks to her connection with Scatterlight Pictures.

Although the scale is not large, her connections with Leonardo DiCaprio and Rick Yorn mean she doesn't have to worry about not getting film offers.

But to be honest, the pay wasn't very high.

Even though she has a GUCCI endorsement, it's not a top-tier endorsement.

They definitely have some money, but 750 million...

Liu Jin had already guessed the answer.

Eva glanced at him furtively and whispered, "It's a loan."

"How many?"

Liu Jin drove with a blank expression, asking without looking to the side.

"four million!"

Which bank?

Wells Fargo.

Liu Jin thought for a moment, took out his phone, searched through his contacts, found a number, and dialed it.

"Hey Thomas, I'm Amos Liu Jin!"

"Mr. Amos, I'm so surprised to receive your call. How can I help you?"

"Here's the thing, a friend of mine bought a house and took out a four-million-dollar loan through Wells Fargo."

But personally, I think Citibank is more reliable.

"Haha, you're absolutely right."

"I want to pay off my Wells Fargo loan early, but I'm not quite sure about America's rules."

I hope to pay off this loan through you. Do you think that's possible?

Thomas was Liu Jin's client manager at Citibank.

After listening to Liu Jin's request, he laughed and said, "That's easy. Please send me your friend's loan information, and I'll contact Wells Fargo. By the way, will this money be withdrawn from your personal bank account?"

"Of course!"

"It's Friday today, there's no time to contact them."

I will contact Wells Fargo next Monday and settle the loan for you by Friday.

"That's troublesome!"

After saying this, Liu Jin suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, how much money do I have in my Citibank account right now?"

"Wait a minute... Um, your account currently has $370 million in deposits."

"Thank you so much!"

Liu Jin hung up the phone and drove onto the highway.

"I don't need you to help me pay off the loan; I can pay it off myself."

"Is that house for me to live in?"

"Yes!"

"Since it's for me to stay in, of course I should also pay for some of the accommodation."

Besides, you're going to school this year for further studies, so your income will definitely decrease... I don't want to be dealing with mortgage payments from the bank before we've even lived in the new house for very long. Also, I don't like loans; I always feel like the house isn't really ours... Let's split it 50/50."

"But……"

"You heard it too, your man has over 300 million in cash in his account."

"Humph!"

Eva snorted, hugging Eva, looking a little unhappy.

However, it must be admitted that a loan of four million dollars is not a small amount. Even though Eva now earns one million eight hundred thousand dollars a year from endorsements, this is New York, one of the most expensive places in the world, and one million eight hundred thousand is not much.

Not to mention that Eva also has a team supporting her.

Moreover, she will have to teach for the next year, so her income will definitely shrink considerably.

Thinking about it this way, the pressure does seem quite significant!
"I know you have money, but you should have discussed it with me first."

"What's there to discuss? Even if your man doesn't write books, he still earns tens of millions a year."

"What kind of logic is it to let my woman pay for a house for me to live in?"

The phrase "my own woman" made Eva unable to suppress a smile.

She gave a rather haughty snort, then turned to look out the car window, a sweet feeling welling up inside her.

That jerk, even though he's a womanizer...

but……

I don't know what happy thing she was thinking of, but she couldn't help but suddenly burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?"

“I was thinking, what if Alizee knew you sold me the house…”

"We bought this house together. Have you forgotten that you spent over three million on this house yourself?"

"You idiot!"

"You're the one who says good morning!"

Eva was furious.

She has been studying Chinese for a long time and can now converse fluently.

Therefore, it is clear that the "stupid pig" Liu Jin was referring to is definitely not the French word for "stupid pig".

Liu Jin couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Eva the raccoon was startled. She jumped out of Eva's arms and darted to the back seat. The two big dogs watched as Eva pounced on Liu Jin and kissed him.

"Crazy woman, I'm driving!"

"Hehe, I'm happy..."

Eva wrapped her arms around Liu Jin's neck, pressed her face against his, and smiled very happily!
