I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 719 Long Time No See, AA
Mara is now the Italian Minister of Youth Affairs.

At Liu Jin's urging, she kept a very low profile after taking office.

As for the suggestion of "Clearly Standing Street V" from the original timeline, it did not appear, and naturally there was no related controversy.

Her job mainly involves communicating with young people.

The University of Milan, for example, is naturally within her sphere of interest.

Not to mention, in early September, when the list of participants for this academic seminar was released, Mara immediately saw Liu Jin's name.

She already knew that Liu Jin would be teaching at the University of Salerno.

Deep down, I felt a little smug.

In Mara's view, Salerno University is not worthy of Liu Jin's current reputation.

Liu Jin's willingness to go was also due to her recommendation.

It's worth noting that Professor Vincent Loya was very pleased when she returned to the school and brought up this matter.

But he said at the time, "Amos has a huge influence on the world literary scene."

The University of Salerno doesn't have a strong position in the QS World University Rankings, and someone like Amos, when choosing a university, would usually pick from the top 100. However, I will extend an invitation, but whether I'll be accepted is hard to say.

At that moment, Mara was both excited and regretful.

What's exciting is the global influence of my own man.

Unfortunately, after hearing what Principal Loya said, it seems that Liu Jin would not have benefited much if he had chosen the University of Salerno.

However, teaching...

That’s no problem!

Mara came here specifically to meet Liu Jin.

"I'm sorry, I have to go to Rome in two hours, so I won't be able to meet you today."

"It's okay, there will be plenty of opportunities!"

Mara was overjoyed to hear Liu Jin's words.

"Let me introduce you, Zorgia, Minister of Culture and Heritage, who is also a good friend of mine."

Ha, Prime Minister May, hello!

Actually, Liu Jin recognized her the moment he saw her.

Compared to Prime Minister Medvedev twenty years later, Giorgia is now slightly overweight.

I guess he's become more focused on his physique since becoming prime minister... But could you roll your eyes at me?

Despite his own thoughts, Liu Jin still followed etiquette and hugged Premier Mei, exchanging a cheek kiss.

But I really want to see her roll her eyes!
Liu Jin has always believed that Prime Minister Mei's appearance is quite ordinary, but when she rolls her eyes, she is incredibly charming and adds a lot to her appeal.

At this time, Prime Minister Mei was probably still struggling to master the art of rolling his eyes.

I always felt like I was meeting Thompson in the future when she was in front of me, like a little fangirl.

"Mr. Amos, I'm your fan!"

Yes, she's definitely a big fan.

……

Mara and Meloni have a very tight schedule.

Mara was originally accompanying Meloni to Milan Fashion Week.

They will be returning to Rome this afternoon; there is an important cabinet meeting tomorrow, and they need to rush back to make some preparations.

But in order to see Liu Jin, Mara has been putting it off until now.

It doesn't matter...

Italians are as efficient as the French, or even more lazy.

If the meeting is scheduled for 9 o'clock, starting at 11 o'clock is considered extremely efficient!

She only wanted to meet Liu Jin, then chatted briefly with the scholars from the University of Milan before leaving in a hurry with Meloni.

Before leaving, she whispered in Liu Jin's ear, "I have applied to study for a master's degree in philosophy at the University of Salerno."

"Won't this affect your work?"

“It won’t affect you.”

Liu Jin immediately revealed a knowing expression.

Mara and Meloni came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

Professor Barbara smiled meaningfully and said, "It's alright, there's plenty of time, there will always be opportunities."

"Huh?" "Hehe, I heard that you and that minister seem to have something going on."

"I am not, I am not, don't talk nonsense."

Liu Jin immediately denied it three times, his attitude extremely firm.

"is it?"

Professor Barbara's smile was enigmatic.

"I will stay in Milan to meet with some old friends, and on Monday the 22nd, I will register at the University of Salerno."

You can arrange your time as you see fit for the next two days, as long as it doesn't interfere with your registration on the 22nd... Going to Rome is also an option.

You know what, when Professor Barbara said that registration would begin on the 22nd, Liu Jin really considered going to Rome.

Today is the 18th, Thursday.

I'm going to Rome tomorrow, and I can spend a wonderful weekend with Mara.

Then on the evening of the 21st, I went to Salerno and arrived in the morning, just in time to check in.

But after Professor Barbara pointed it out, Liu Jin lost interest.

……

After the banquet ended, Liu Jin did not return to the hotel.

I was strolling around the streets of Milan under the cover of night when I unknowingly found myself at the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele.

Sit down at a round table outside a coffee shop and order a rich, aromatic Italian coffee.

He lit a cigarette, sat there quietly, and his mind immediately went blank.

Reborn for eight years, I have struggled for eight years.

After this year, his net worth will exceed 10 billion.

It feels like my life is already complete, and I don't need to strive anymore...

But if I don't strive, I always feel like something's missing. Does this mean I should just start drifting along, waiting to die?
On the other hand, the opportunities left for him to profit from others are becoming fewer and fewer.

Subprime crisis like this one will be rare in the future, and even if it happens again, it won't be in his memory.

Continue writing?

What can I write?

Two of Hugo's books remain: *Ninety-Three* and *The Toilers of the Sea*, but frankly, their impact doesn't compare to *The Hunchback of Notre Dame* and *Les Misérables*. Hugo wasn't a prolific writer; he also wrote poetry and was a great poet…

However, Liu Jin couldn't recall which poems he had written.

Aside from ancient Chinese poetry, Liu Jin has never been interested in literary works like poetry.

So, sorry!
America's side, the drifting is already complete.

He had one more book left, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which he planned to take a break from writing.

To be honest, this book is not famous; it's a short story.

If it weren't for the movie, many people probably wouldn't know about it.

However, adapting the film into a written form would likely have an extraordinary impact as well.

Besides that, there are only a series of Dickens' works left... but Liu Jin only remembers a few Dickens books most vividly. He'll select some later and write them down. As for grades? Is he the kind of person who cares about grades?
and then?
Liu Jin discovered that he seemed to have less and less to write about!

"Hey, Amos?"

A fragrant breeze wafted by, followed by someone calling his name.

Liu Jin was startled and turned to look.

Hey, AA?

He stood up in surprise, looking at the tall woman in front of him with a look of astonishment.

"It really is you! I thought it looked like you when I passed by earlier, but I didn't expect... What are you doing in Milan?"
"They're not here to attend Fashion Week, are they?"

Hmm, I think so!

This week, it seems, is Milan Fashion Week.

But Liu Jin really didn't notice.

He said with a smile, "I've graduated and now I teach at the University of Salerno."

I came to Milan to attend a seminar at the University of Milan... Long time no see, AA!

Alessandra Ambrosio smiled slightly, then suddenly opened her arms and gave Liu Jin a light hug, whispering in his ear, "Long time no see, Amos!"
