I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 624 It's time to give America a shock!

The morning sunlight streamed into the room.

Liu Jin yawned and got out of bed.

Eva is not here.

The other Eva, however, had somehow slipped into the master bedroom and was curled up at the foot of the bed, fast asleep.

Big Eva got up very early!
She's in great health.

I called 'papa' last night, but I woke up earlier than him this morning.

As soon as it was light, I took both of them out for a run.

Liu Jin checked the time; it was almost eight o'clock.

He lifted the covers and got out of bed, but this startled little Eva.

She opened her eyes, stretched on the bed, called out softly to Liu Jin, and then lay sprawled out on the bed to continue sleeping.

Oh my god, I'll have to buy a lint remover brush!
Liu Jin put on his underwear and went out onto the terrace.

He stood by the pool and first tested the water temperature.

It's a bit chilly!
After all, it's already October.

This is New York, not the South of France, and it's already a bit chilly in October.

So, I gave up the idea of ​​morning swimming and practiced a set of rejuvenating stances barefoot on the garden terrace, and then practiced another set of rejuvenation stances.

Looking at the time again, it was already nine o'clock!
He then turned and left the terrace, went back inside to take a shower, changed into a new pair of underwear, put on a sweatshirt, wore loose trousers, and strolled downstairs.

Wang Wang Wang!
Julie and Adrian were walking upstairs when they called out to him a few times.

Liu Jin squatted down, angrily rubbed the dog's head, and then went up to the second floor.

Eva was also dressed in casual home clothes, cooking in the restaurant.

Breakfast was American: fried eggs, bacon, sausage, coffee, fresh orange juice, and a bowl of miso soup.

The main dishes are toast and croissants.

"Is this miso soup for me?"

"Yes!"

Eva made sandwiches out of the toast, then cut them up and placed them on the table.

Who drinks miso soup first thing in the morning...?

It seems so; that's just how I am in my daily life.

Liu Jin wanted to remind Eva that he was Chinese.

But considering that she meant well, I thought about it and sat down, picked up the miso soup and took a sip.

Trying something new once in a while is fine, but if it's like this every day... Liu Jin can't stand it.

So let's find an opportunity to remind her.

"Wait, don't you have classes?"

"Stupid Amos, today is Saturday."

Eva rolled her eyes and said irritably, "There's nobody at school, what would I do there?"

"Okay, I'm confused!"

Liu Jin smiled, picked up the sandwich, and ate it in a few bites.

On the contrary, Eva sat down slowly and deliberately, appearing very elegant.

What are your plans for today?

"Go buy a car!"

"Isn't there a Suburban?"

“I was going to school in a 1.5-ton Saabban, and it felt like I was going to a farm.”

"Hahaha, you're discriminating against farmers."

"I don't!"

Liu Jin vehemently denied it.

Saying such things in France is not a big deal, but in America, it could easily lead to a lawsuit for occupational discrimination.

It's said that America was free, but anyone who lived in America knows that freedom has its limits!

This country has too many taboos!
You can criticize the president or the wealthy, but try to avoid using discriminatory language.

The problem is that many people who come to America for the first time are unaware of so many language taboos and can easily offend others without realizing it.

It's a bit better here in Manhattan.

If it were in predominantly Black neighborhoods like the Bronx or Brooklyn...

They're dirt poor, but have a ton of rules.

A single word, even a gesture or a glance, can provoke those mentally unstable and sensitive Black people.

For example, the word "nigger" isn't necessarily unacceptable if you're joking about it with middle-class or wealthy people.

But if you, an Asian or white person, say something like that in a Black neighborhood... you could actually die there.

The poorer you are, the more sensitive you become; the poorer you are, the more self-esteem (or inferiority complex) you become

It's the same meaning as the gesture you made to the Koreans.

"I'm planning to buy a car."

"There's another Ferrari in the garage, you can drive it for now."

"If I drive away, what will you do?"

"Then, I'll sit in the passenger seat, hehehe!"

I don't know what funny thing Eva thought of, but she suddenly kept laughing.

Liu Jin rolled his eyes, picked up the coffee cup in front of Eva, drank her coffee in one gulp, and then turned and ran away.

"Damn it, my cappuccino!"

Behind the dining table, Eva angrily waved her fist at Liu Jin.

……

After dinner, Eva took Liu Jin out.

However, as he got into the car, Liu Jin keenly sensed that someone was taking pictures.

He turned around abruptly and saw a car speeding past him.

There were two people sitting in the car, one of whom was fiddling with a camera...

Were we photographed?

Eva, who was black on the outside and white on the inside, also asked while wearing sunglasses.

Liu Jin nodded. "It must be paparazzi!"

"Hoho, the great Mr. Amos has arrived in the Big Apple and has been caught by reporters in no time."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jin couldn't help but laugh.

"Let's drive!"

He sat in the passenger seat.

Actually, he was no stranger to the streets of New York, but it had been three years since he last drove around Manhattan.

Eva started the car with a smile and drove into the lane.

They're just paparazzi; it's not the first time!

As a celebrity, Eva is already used to it.

Liu Jin, who is a public figure in France, has also experienced this kind of unauthorized filming.

The two headed straight to a Ford dealership on Fifth Avenue. Liu Jin took a liking to a Ford GT Fastback, priced at $3.9.

After circling the car twice, Liu Jin decided to buy it.

He still remembers a line from the movie "Gone in 60 Seconds" starring Angelina Jolie and Nicolas Cage: "It's so annoying to see Fiats and Ferraris everywhere."

But when you pull up in a Ford GT, all eyes will be on you.

Champagne, beautiful women, you name it!

"This one will do."

Liu Jin was particularly fond of this silver Mustang.

He was about to take out his card when Eva stopped him. After a heated debate with the sales agent, she managed to bring the price down to $3.6, along with a free top-of-the-line skincare set and a whole host of gifts.

Isn't it said that Americans don't bargain?
Actually, prices drop everywhere, it just depends on the product and the location.

Liu Jin in Paris might not know this, but in Toulouse, if you buy groceries at a street market in the early morning, you can negotiate prices that will skyrocket.

Pay the payment and complete the formalities.

Liu Jin requested the use of a custom-made license plate, so it would take a few days to process and he could only use a temporary license plate.

He drove his car out of the dealership.

Just as I was about to have a chat with Eva, the phone suddenly rang.

Amos, are you in America?

"Leon?"

"yes……"

"I'm on international roaming, why don't I call Eva's number?"

"I'm also making an international call, damn it, you miser."

Xiao Li was stunned by the scolding, but quickly realized what was happening and launched into a tirade of curses before hanging up the phone before Liu Jin could retaliate.

Eva walked over and asked, puzzled, "Why aren't you leaving?"

Just as Liu Jin was about to answer, Eva's phone rang.

"It's Leon on the phone..."

"Looking for me!"

Liu Jin chuckled as he took the phone. "You finally showed some intelligence for a moment, you idiot Leon."

"You're the idiot, you idiot Amos!"

Leonardo immediately retaliated on the other end of the phone.

After arguing for a while, he changed his tune and asked, "You really came to America?"

"Of course you called Eva."

"You bastard, don't call me an idiot anymore... I'm still on set in Maryland, I won't be able to come see you until next month."

"What drama?"

"Body of Lies, you probably don't know, it's an adaptation of the novel of the same name by David Ignatius."

"That Washington Post reporter?"

"Huh, you know him?"

“Last night I saw him arguing with that petty Jeffrey on TV.”

Leonardo DiCaprio couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Who told you to steal his Pulitzer Prize for Fiction?"

He then changed the subject, saying, "However, I think he has a point."

"Damn it, I will definitely write an America novel that will make you Americans kneel down and worship me."

"Hahaha, I don't believe it!"

Leonardo DiCaprio seemed rather provocative.

The two chatted for a few more minutes, and after learning that Liu Jin would be staying there until May, Xiao Li stopped arguing.

"I'll come see you next month, Scott's calling me!"

With that, he hung up the phone.

……

"Whose call was that? You seem a bit excited."

After hanging up the phone, Leonardo DiCaprio walked up to director Ridley Scott.

Russell Crowe, who had been crouching next to the director watching his own performance, looked up and asked Leonardo DiCaprio with a smile.

"That guy Amos."

"The one from France?"

"Yes!"

Has he come to America?

"You didn't watch TV last night?"

"I was a little tired last night, so I went to sleep as soon as I got home."

"Jeffrey provoked Amos on television, which seemed to annoy him a bit."

He was just bragging to me on the phone about writing an America story that would be revered by all Americans.

"Hoho, that's a bit difficult."

An actress standing nearby asked curiously, "Why? Can't Mr. Amos write it?"

“Gershfi, it’s not a question of whether it can be written down.”

Amos's talent is undeniable, but earning the worship of the American people is no easy feat.

Americans are very proud.

Ridley looked up and smiled, "That's not necessarily true."

When he created his first book, who could have imagined that the story would captivate the French so much? I remember he had only been in France for a little over a month when he finished it—a truly amazing guy.

"Which book?"

Bertrand Russell has also read many of Liu Jin's works.

But to say I understand it, I don't know much about it.

Golshifteh Farahani, the actress from Tehran, Iran, was just a newcomer at the time... but in the future, she would become the second actress, after Taraneh Alidosti, to stand at the forefront of the resistance against the Iranian regime.

Actually, there's not much to say.

Taranes rebels against the headscarf.

This person not only took off their headscarf, but also their clothes.

Her resistance was so thorough that she became the first Iranian actress to be completely blacklisted by Tehran since 1979.

However, at this time, Gorshfi was just a nobody.

However, she is a fan of Liu Jin and knows all of Liu Jin's authors by heart.

"Mr. Scott is talking about 'Amélie,' isn't he!"

Yes, that's the book.

Little Li's heart skipped a beat.

He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say!

He just made a bet with Liu Jin on the phone that if he lost, he would kneel down to Liu Jin!
No way, no way, no way!
Are we really going to kneel down to that idiot Amos?
