I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 712 Graduation Season (The End)
Liu Jin lost the first trial!

The Paris court ruled that Liu Jin had indeed assaulted Sharon Stone, causing her significant harm.

However, since Sharon Stone made the inappropriate remarks first, and Amos lost his temper and reason, it did not constitute "intentional harm," but rather "attack in the heat of the moment." Therefore, the court ruled that Liu Jin should bear all of Sharon Stone's medical expenses and pay two million euros in compensation.

Sharon Stone disagreed and said she would appeal.

Liu Jin also disagreed and wanted to appeal.

Therefore, the Paris court accepted Sharon Stone and Liu Jin's request and decided to make a further ruling at a later date.

As for when?
The court did not say.

The Paris courts have a lot of cases; how could they possibly choose a date specifically for Sharon Stone and Liu Jin?

Previously, it was America DSG that put pressure on them, which is why the ruling was made so quickly.

Since neither side agrees, let's go through the proper procedures.

The procedures in French courts...

Chloe estimates that if the trial can start in October, it will be considered a fast court process.

"So, I still can't leave the country?"

"That depends on the situation... but the ruling has been issued, the travel restrictions have been lifted, and your passport can be returned soon."

However, my dad suggests you countersue that bitch.

How to file a countersuit?

"Crimes against humanity... Her remarks have triggered crimes against humanity."

It depends on whether anyone cares. If you really sue her, she will be very upset.

Moreover, the court will expedite the verdict on this type of charge. Her words will undoubtedly lead to a successful prosecution and will completely ruin her reputation.

"Then file a countersuit!"

"You need to make this point clear on Melissa's show later."

"Is everything ready on your end?"

"Hehe, by the time she sued you, I had already collected and secured all the evidence."

"Good job!"

Liu Jin smiled.

He gave Chloe a thumbs up.

……

Three days later, a photo appeared on Tianxian's blog.

The background is on a beach in Montpellier.

Liu Jin stood next to a sapphire-blue PGO Hemera retro sports car, grinning foolishly without a care in the world.

He was wearing white shorts, a pink polo shirt, and sunglasses.

The accompanying text reads: "Amos said that he was in a good mood after the successful countersuit, so he went to the Montpellier Motor Show and fell in love with this PGO."

I like cars too.

This person is too flamboyant!

……

Changchang commented: I think it's alright.

Jiang Wen commented: That's fucking sassy, ​​but I like it.

The cult leader commented: What kind of car is this? It's really beautiful?

The fairy replied: It's said to be a handcrafted car with a Renault engine. The paint has been infused with fine Mediterranean sand, which is why it creates a shimmering wave effect.

The front end is a replica of the 1930 Bugatti Type 57, but the LED daytime running lights are hidden inside the grille.

Magnesium alloy wheels and the like...

I'm a bit confused but it sounds impressive!

Amos said that only 12 units were produced per year (well, in fact, 83 units were produced over 7 years).

The cult leader replied: Oh, that's interesting.

Jiang Wen replied: Why didn't that guy tell me?

The fairy replied: He said you are a bandit and he's afraid you'll steal it.

Jiang Wen replied: I'm going to call him and yell at him!

……

At the Gruson Estate, Qianqian was test driving the PGO and was very excited.

Liu Jin's mother sat on the porch of the lakeside villa, lecturing him.

"how much is it?"

"Hmm, it's not very expensive!"

"How expensive is 'not very expensive'?"

"15 million!"

"Yes, it's not very expensive, and it looks quite pretty."

"Grandma, don't listen to my uncle's nonsense, it's definitely not RMB."

Qianqian ran over and loudly reminded her.

"Dollar?"

"No, oh!"

"Damn, 15 euros?"

"Grandma, Lala said that my uncle has ordered four more cars."

"what?"

Liu Jin quickly defended himself, saying, "Clay has helped me so much, running around doing everything for me, I should show my appreciation."

Mela has been working so hard for me, I should thank her. Now that they're married, Ali and Eva should have children too.

I'm not a spendthrift.

After thinking about it, Mom realized that Liu Jin's words made sense.

"Forget it, you earn your own money, you spend it yourself, I can't be bothered with you. But, your sister Pengpeng called and said that Xiao Chong's wife is pregnant again and they're planning to have a second child."

"Yes, Xiao Chong is your nephew, about your age..."

"I just remembered, I haven't prepared for my defense yet, I'm going back to study."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jin turned and left without saying a word.

His mother wanted to stop him, but she swallowed the words back.

She sat in a rocking chair, basking in the sunlight.

A moment later, she suddenly asked Qianqian, "Do you have Xiao Ai's phone number?"

"Have!"

"Then why don't you give her a call and see if she's busy?"

……

That evening, Alizee called.

"My mom called me today."

Liu Jin was sitting in his study painting when he heard this and was taken aback. "What does she want with you?"

"They didn't say much, just chatted and talked about everyday things."

but……"

"But what?"

"Personally, I felt that she was subtly asking me about French people having children."

you say……"

Liu Jin was silent!
He thought for a moment and said softly, "How about we have one?"

Alizee laughed and said, "Okay!"

Neither of them continued the conversation.

Having a child is easy, but what about getting married?
What will happen to Eva now that she's married?
There are many things involved here, and it can't be resolved with just one phone call.

Do you think Liu Jin wants a child?
miss you!
He has never had children in his two lifetimes. Whenever he sees other people taking their children out, it would be a lie to say that he is not envious.

But we're getting married!
Liu Jin hung up the phone, walked to the balcony, and looked at the hazy night outside, feeling somewhat lost!
Suddenly, he picked up the phone and dialed Chloe.

"Clay, I'd like to set up a family trust, is that alright?"

"of course can!"

Chloe and Mela had just finished dinner and were sitting at home watching TV.

"I want to set up a family fund for my children."

"A child? You have a child?"

Chloe exclaimed in surprise, and Mela rushed over, her face beaming with excitement.

"No, I just... I want to set up a foundation in the names of Eva and Ali, respectively."

Then, I'll put all the future profits from Notre Dame and Les Misérables into Ali's fund; and then Gone with the Wind and... well, three books in one fund, what do you think?"

There was a moment of silence on the phone.

After a long while, Mela's voice, filled with gritted teeth, rang out, "Liu, you're such a scumbag!"

Chloe said, "You'd better think this through. These three books of yours can bring you at least tens of millions in income every year."

"I know!"

"Okay, it's not that difficult, it's just that you're really generous."

……

In the original timeline, a hundred years after Les Misérables was published, it still sold millions of copies worldwide every year.

The same applies to films like Gone with the Wind, Notre Dame Cathedral, and The Old Man and the Sea.

By securing the copyrights to these books through a family fund, the foundation will become very wealthy over several decades, enough to guarantee the livelihood of future generations.

Liu Jin was also worried about what would happen if he died one day.
This is not unfounded worry.

God can give him a new life, or He can kill him suddenly.

As the saying goes, "Man proposes, God disposes..."

It's essential to plan ahead.

Chloe agreed to help him set up a foundation, but it wouldn't be done in a short time; it would take time.

Liu Jin then put the matter out of his mind and continued writing and painting.

In June, he completed his dissertation defense and received his doctoral degree, thus successfully completing his university life in Toulouse.

My mother cried her eyes out at the graduation ceremony.

The Liu family finally has a doctoral student!
She also had Qianqian record a video of Liu Jin receiving his doctoral degree, which she then sent to Liu Dasheng.

Qianqian even uploaded the video to her blog.

Tianxian, Changchang, Jiang Wen, and others all forwarded her blog post.

Congratulations to Uncle Liu on graduating! From now on, you'll be called Dr. AMOS. (Sound of a cheerful voice)

Congratulations Amos, happy graduation... By the way, why does Changchang call you Uncle Liu?
天仙
Haha, actually you should call Qianqian that too.

Qianqian, you'd better die!
Has Lao Liu graduated? When are you coming back to China? I'll invite you to the Olympic opening ceremony.

Jiang Wen
Congratulations, Mr. Amos, on getting a doctorate! I doubt I'll ever get that kind of degree in my lifetime.

·...

Unfortunately, Liu Jin did not register on any domestic social media platforms.

He didn't even know that because of Changchang's words, he successfully entered the 'uncle circle'.

He is still confused and hesitant!
Next, should I stay in Europe to continue my studies, or go to America?

After 08, there weren't many opportunities left for him to find a bargain. Returning to China would certainly offer plenty of opportunities, but should he go back?

His temperament, his temper...

For a moment, Liu Jin was also undecided!
