I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 721 This is…

Liu Jin ultimately stayed in Milan!

And had a pleasant weekend.

AA is flying to New York on Saturday night.

She's currently riding high, especially after Gisele Bündchen ended her contract with Victoria's Secret last year, and she took over the Dreamy Omen brand that Bündchen had previously endorsed... In the supermodel world, she may not be number one yet, but within Victoria's Secret, she's firmly in the top three. She's tied with Adelaide Lima, second only to Heidi Klum.

Moreover, Heidi has been transforming her career in recent years.

They appear on the runway less and less often.

She only appears at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show at the end of each year; she basically doesn't participate in other shows.

Heidi is now a famous presenter and producer.

Holding two IPs, "Pride of the Runway" and "Supermodel Show," and also serving as a judge for "American Idol" and "Meda," her status is extraordinary...

AA is not as good as Heidi.

Moreover, she didn't have Heidi's ambition.

He has a typical "small fortune is enough" mentality: he walks the runway, does a few endorsements, and acts in some movies, earning three to four million US dollars a year.

"I applied to the book publishing program at New York University and will graduate next year."

"You want to be an editor?"

"No, it's just that I feel I should improve myself."

Liu Jin had no objection to this.

But something felt off, though I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

It's clear that AA wants to retire!

These past few years, they've been frantically walking the runway and making money.

Furthermore, her decision to attend university made it clear to Liu Jin that AA had a very clear personal plan.

But what's the reason?
It's not that it's bad for women to be ambitious, but rather, it's a bit strange!
But what exactly is strange about it?
Liu Jin couldn't say anything.

After seeing AA off, Liu Jin dialed Lao Zhong's number.

"Old Zhong, do you know anything about private investigators? I'd like a reliable one."

He actually knew private investigators, such as the one Mr. Lu had introduced to him... However, Liu Jin felt that Andy was clearly taking a special route, and since this was a private matter, there was no need to contact him, and he didn't really want to.

Old Zhong was playing with the child when he heard Liu Jin's question and was taken aback.

"What are you up to now?"

"It's nothing, just investigating someone."

It's a private matter! I don't want anyone to know, you understand?

Old Zhong was silent for a moment, then sighed, "You..."

He then hung up the phone.

"Hey, hey, hey, have you given me any definite answer yet, hello?"

Liu Jin was somewhat helpless.

About an hour later, he received a text message.

Can't you just behave yourself for once?

Call this number; his name is Mel, and he's a top-notch private investigator in New York.

You can tell him that Jules recommended him and he will do his best... However, his fees are not cheap.

Liu Jin finished reading the text message with a pursed mouth and replied: Who is Jules?

It's your dad, Zhong!

So your name is Jules. I thought you didn't have a foreign language name.

Old Zhong did not reply.

I checked the time; it was 11 p.m.

It should be five o'clock in New York right now!
Liu Jin simply dialed the number Lao Zhong had given him. A hoarse, deep voice came from the other end of the line: "Who is it?"

"I was referred by Jules; I want to investigate someone."

"Wait a moment!"

Immediately afterward, there was a snapping sound on the phone, followed by a woman's muffled voice.

Then came the sound of footsteps and the sound of windows being drawn.

"10 for catching someone in adultery, 20 for involvement in organized crime, 15 for finding someone, and double the amount if a dangerous situation occurs."

"You neither kill nor harm others, which type are you?"

Damn, the price list is quite clear.

"I just want to investigate someone's information."

“10,000 for ordinary people, 200,000 for officials, 200,000 for gang members, and 500,000 for personnel in classified agencies.”

“Alessandra Ambrosio, a supermodel.”

There was a moment of silence on the phone.

A moment later, the hoarse voice came again, as if speaking to someone else: "Sally, have you heard of Ambrosio?"

"If it's that Victoria's Secret supermodel, I know."

How much does this service cost?

"A supermodel, a public figure, must cost at least 300,000."

"Did you hear that?"

This was said to Liu Jin.

That Sally, I guess she's his assistant.

I have a feeling that the person Lao Zhong introduced this time is a bit unreliable.

but……

"no problem!"

"Okay, send me an email address in a bit."

Since Jules was the referrer, no deposit is required. I'll send you the results to your email, and you'll transfer the payment within 48 hours.

Listen, if you dare to default on your bill, not even Jules, let alone Jesus, will have any respect for you!

"can!"

"So be it."

"Wait, wait, aren't you going to ask who I am?"

"I don't care who you are. You're someone Jules introduced. If there's a problem, I'll go to Jules."

This guy has a very strong Australian accent.

After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.

Liu Jin looked at his phone, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Who is this!
But since Lao Zhong recommended him, he must be reliable... right?

After thinking for a moment, Liu Jin didn't use his usual Hotmail or Gmail, but instead gave him a 163 account.

About 10 minutes later, a text message arrived: "Don't contact me, don't rush me."

If there's a result, I'll send it to your email. If there's no result, there's no point in following up. Just leave it at that and don't reply.

That's pretty straightforward!
Liu Jin scratched his head and then stopped replying.

……

The following day, Sunday.

Liu Jin called Professor Barbara to ask if she wanted to go to Salerno together.

Professor Barbara's reply was: I'm already in Salerno, have a great weekend!
Liu Jin was a little confused!

Why did you leave?
They left without even saying a word?

He was left alone in Milan...

It's not really Professor Barbara's fault; the main problem is that Liu Jin checked out on Thursday night and didn't stay at the same hotel as Professor Barbara.

Professor Barbara naturally assumed that Liu Jin wasn't in Milan, so she didn't pay any attention to him.

He spent the last two days with Ambrose, attended two big shows, and then stayed in the hotel all day without going out.

He had visited many of Milan's tourist attractions.

AA comes to Milan several times a year, so he's probably tired of it by now.

Shopping?

No need!
New York has everything.

Liu Jin is the same; if he wants to shop, he can buy things anywhere in Paris.

However, since Professor Barbara has already arrived in Salerno, he shouldn't delay any longer.

I can't be late for my shift tomorrow, right?
but……

I don't want to take the train, and I don't want to take the plane.

After checking out of the hotel, he made a phone call to Mela.

"My all-knowing sister Mela, I have a question."

"what is the problem?"

"I need to get from Milan to Salerno, but I don't want to take a plane or a train. What should I do?"

"Are you crazy? Let's drive!"

"I'm not in Toulouse, where would I get a car in Milan?"

"Are you really stupid... Italy, do they lack cars? Porsches, Ferraris, Maseratis, or even Ivecos if all else fails, you're not short of money. Come on, this is Milan, look at all those Milan stars, do they need these?"

"right!"

"Liu, why don't you come back?"

It seems like you've gone crazy after only a few days in Milan.

"You didn't go messing around again, did you? And who was it this time?"

"I don't!"

"I do not believe!"

"..."

Liu Jin and Mela had a verbal battle for half an hour, and Liu Jin ultimately lost.

He hailed a taxi at the hotel and asked the driver to take him to Manzoni Street.

That is the main street in the center of Milan that connects Piazza della Scala and Piazza Cavour, and it is also the northwestern boundary of the upscale shopping district that makes up Milan’s ‘Fashion Quadrilateral’.

Named after the 19th-century Italian writer Manzoni.

It is known for its luxury flagship stores and star-rated hotels, and is also home to numerous 4S stores for high-end cars.

The driver dropped Liu Jin off at the street corner and drove away.

Liu Jin, carrying a backpack and an LV travel bag, walked into the streets of Manzoni.

Luxury goods are on display everywhere, and young women in tattered clothes are everywhere... It's already late September, and the temperature is starting to drop. But the young women seem oblivious to the cold, walking happily along both sides of the street.

It stopped in front of a Ferrari dealership.

Looking through the window, Liu Jin's gaze instantly turned extremely serious.

I took a deep breath, stepped forward, and pushed open the door.

Several well-dressed sales assistants were chatting idly together when they saw Liu Jin walk in, and their eyes flashed.

Women living in Milan, especially those working in luxury venues, have a keen sense of brands.

In a flash, their gazes swept over Liu Jin's entire body.

LV travel bags and backpacks, and Dior's new white sneakers this year.

The striped casual suit has no brand name, but the stitching and style indicate that it is a custom-made piece by a master tailor.

Although the watch on her wrist was partially concealed, it was a Patek Philippe.

The female sales assistants exchanged glances and immediately confirmed that the Asian man in front of them was a wealthy man.

A voluptuous and alluring saleswoman with a deep cleavage was the first to react and jogged over to Liu Jin.

"Sir, which car's performance would you like to know more about?"

"This one!"

Liu Jin reached out and pointed to a yellow Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano sports car.

"And this one too!"

He then pointed to a sapphire blue Ferrari California parked on the other platform.

The saleswoman's eyes sparkled, and her gaze towards Liu Jin was somewhat sly.

She was about to speak when Liu Jin said, "I want both of these cars. I want one ready to go right away, and the other to deliver to Salerno University... You should be able to deliver, right? Do you know Salerno University?"

I almost choked to death!

The saleswoman quickly covered her mouth and coughed.

"Sir, you mean you want both?"

"May I?"

"Of course, no problem!"

This might be the most successful sales pitch this sales associate has ever made in his/her life.

Before I could even say a word, they just packed it up!
A commission of nearly 100,000 euros was pocketed...

The sales assistant's eyes were full of hearts.

She figured that if Liu Jin made any unreasonable demands right now, she would agree without hesitation.

To be fair, this sales assistant was above Liu Jin's aesthetic standards.

He didn't like the skinny, bony type; the voluptuousness of Italian women was more likely to arouse him.

However, in the past two days, he has been completely drained by AA!
At this moment, Liu Jin was in a state of supreme wisdom, and all he could see were those two tempting sports cars!
