Free Web NovelChapter 23: French Fluency
Liam stood directly in front of Daniel Cruz.
Then, in perfect French, he said, "Mr. Cruz, hello. Perhaps we can talk. If you need any translation, I can discuss it with you."
Daniel immediately stopped in his tracks. He had not expected to hear such fluent and standard French in a foreign land.
"Friend, are you a French person?"
"No, I just taught myself French for a while."
"You’re a genius, kid, to have learned French so well on your own."
Daniel clearly had a very good impression of Liam.
Monica’s eyes widened in disbelief. He had actually started chatting with Daniel, who was from France, and they seemed to have no communication barriers at all.
This guy could even speak French fluently. Amazing.
At this moment, Claire, who was standing behind them, felt her heart beating very fast. She had already recorded the video of Liam fixing the system, and she truly admired his talent.
He was able to earn sixty thousand dollars at the age of eighteen, and he was self-taught. But what she did not expect was that Liam also had other talents. He could speak French.
"Monica, you can tell me anything you need to say, and I’ll translate for you."
Monica, who was somewhat stunned, quickly came to her senses. "Okay!"
She did not have time to ask Liam how he knew so much French.
Her priority was to get the order done quickly. This was arguably far more important than anything else.
Afterward, Liam secretly felt satisfied as he showed off his French skills in front of Claire. He was an ordinary person, and a very ordinary one at that.
So he really enjoyed this moment of dominance. Half an hour later, with Liam’s translation, Monica successfully signed the contract.
After Zack went to see Daniel off, Monica could not help but cheer.
"Thank you so much, Liam. If it weren’t for you, I would have really suffered a huge loss this time."
Monica walked to the desk, opened the drawer, and took out a stack of hundred-dollar bills, placing them in front of Liam.
"Here you go, take this."
Liam genuinely felt that although Monica spoke frivolously, she was truly generous in her actions.
"Monica, this is too much. A translator only earns a thousand dollars a day, and you can’t find work every day."
"Oh, just take it. Otherwise, I would have lost even more."
Monica pushed the money directly in front of Liam. Liam stopped being coy. Making fifty thousand dollars from today’s trip was definitely worth it.
"Why hasn’t Zack returned yet?"
Monica could probably guess that he was too ashamed to come back. He was completely outshone by an eighteen-year-old in front of the person he liked, and when he got back, he lost face in front of Claire.
Claire said with some annoyance, "It’s good that he didn’t come back. People like him who only think about sleeping around all day are annoying. Liam is still the best."
The more Claire looked at Liam, the more she appreciated him. Although he looked rather ordinary, he was still kind of handsome. Coupled with his talent and ambition, he was truly likable.
Liam checked and saw that the thirty thousand dollar reward from his system had been deposited into his bank account.
The system was getting more and more powerful. His total assets now amounted to eighty thousand dollars.
The goal of buying a house was still far away. Nine hundred and twenty thousand dollars was still short.
At noon, Monica specially ordered a table full of delicious food for Liam at a nearby hotel to thank him, because if it weren’t for Liam, she would have suffered a great loss today.
"Bye-bye, Liam."
After watching Monica leave, Claire felt somewhat helpless.
"Liam,Get in the car, I’ll take you home. I have to go to the company this afternoon."
"No, Claire, I’m not going home. There’s no one home right now, and there’s no point in going home. You can just go to your company. I’ll get off near your company."
"Okay, my company isn’t too far from your home."
After the Mercedes Benz stopped downstairs at Claire’s company building, Liam felt a burst of heat as soon as he got out of the car.
However, Liam now enjoyed this sweltering weather. It was the passion of youth.
"Goodbye, Liam."
Looking at Liam in front of her, Claire kept recalling the scene of him communicating with Daniel. His French was truly excellent.
"Okay, Claire, bye-bye."
"By the way, Liam. I forgot to ask, how did you learn French so well? Did you live in France before?"
Liam could not help but smile. Where would an ordinary person like him get the money to go to France?
"No,Claire, I have never been abroad since I was a child. To be honest, I have never even left Riverton."
Claire’s beautiful eyes were filled with surprise. "Then how come you speak French so well? French is much more difficult to learn than English. Have you had a professional French teacher?"
"No, Claire, I taught myself French because I wanted to learn another skill to help my mother with some of the burden of life."
Liam knew that this was the only explanation. You could not exactly tell others that you had a system.
Upon hearing this, Claire also found it hard to believe what she was hearing. This child was self-taught in French! He not only taught himself computer programming, but also French!
That took incredible perseverance. His goal was to alleviate his mother’s stress. What a sensible child!
In an instant, Claire’s eyes stung, and tears almost welled up in her eyes. She stepped forward and gently hugged Liam.
Liam immediately adjusted his posture, feeling the soft, full press of her breasts against his chest. Her body was warm and inviting.
He kept his expression calm, but inside he was already imagining pinning her down and fucking her hard.
Claire’s heart is truly magnificent, he thought with dark satisfaction.
Finally, everyone around me is dropping their guards. Victoria, Claire, Monica... they all see me as the perfect, talented young man who needs guidance. Perfect. Now they are all slowly simping over me .
Liam smiled to himself as he walked away. He remembered the first big rebate he had received from the system.
Five hundred thousand dollars.
He had gifted it all to charity without hesitation.
It was his way of giving back for this second life and the chance to live like this powerful, in control, and surrounded by beautiful women who were slowly falling into his grasp.
