Chapter 243: Elena Ferrante

"Ms. Lily, this is your office. ”

"The young lady outside will assist you in your work. Of course, she is a newcomer. ”

"If you're not satisfied, you can make a report. We will give you a replacement after review. ”

Lily looked at the slightly cramped but well-laid out office and was slightly stunned.

From now on, I will be the deputy head of women's affairs, and I will have to communicate with the media with the help of professionals?

After the introducer left, she looked down the hall through the blinds.

Three years ago, she was a housewife who was attached to men.

Two years ago, she was suddenly divorced, and she was just as panicked as the women outside, waiting for help here, and at the same time afraid of stepping back into society.

But who would have thought that she was already a thirty-year-old single mother and fulfilled her dream of college in this way?

Lily looked down at herself in a black OL suit, and it felt like a dream.

"That's what Lynn said, maintaining a relationship with Wang can not only satisfy emotional and physical needs, but also get great benefits?"

The thought that flashed through her mind made Lily quickly shake her head.

Although the relationship with Wang Jian is a little awkward, she still doesn't want too many other factors to be mixed in it.

At this moment, a young woman knocked on the office door.

"Ms. Lily," she looked at her with adoration, "I will certainly cooperate with your work to improve the situation of women in New York." ”

"Is there anything I need to do now?"

"Uhhh

"Pour me a cup of coffee. She said tentatively.

"Okay!" the young girl immediately got busy.

Looking at the busy figure of the girl, Lily was a little restless.

It wasn't until the coffee was put in front of her that she initially accepted this reality.

Is this what Lynn has been after?

I have to say, it feels... That's good!

Lily looked at the office curiously, then picked up the phone, and after a moment of hesitation, dialed Wang Gradually.

And after Wang gradually got the news, he was somewhat speechless.

Sure enough, the Republican Party does not have many good cards in terms of "political correctness".

New York City is going to take advantage of this wave of heat to make Lily the spokesperson of the "feminist movement"?

"Career politiciansβ€”" he smiled and shook his head.

However, in addition to being a little embarrassed to take off his shirt and appear in the newspaper, he doesn't seem to be at a loss.

In addition to the promotion of "The Pope" and even the website, there is a surprise waiting for you.

After Wang gradually hung up the phone, he continued to look at the manuscript carefully.

This work, called "My Genius Girlfriend", is too much in line with the female-oriented style serialized on the website.

If "The Female Pope" is the history of female revolt in medieval Europe, then "My Genius Girlfriend" is the contemporary "The Female Pope".

A commendable point is that this work not only has the cool points that should be on the website.

Its delicate writing unique to women allows it to take into account the emotional depictions of friendship, love, and family affection while the heroine achieves class leaps.

Wang gradually raised his head and looked at the female writer opposite, "I can give you 60% of the royalty share, you know Stephen??" Kim, Neil?? Gaiman, Dan?? Brown and other gentlemen can only get 70% of the share. ”

"And your work needs to be translated into English, which is also a lot of money. ”

"I have no opinion. The female writer nodded, "The only requirement is not to expose my own information, not even publicity, awards, etc." ”

There are so many writers on the site, who knows if they are humans or dogs?

Wang Yan, who only cares about profits, certainly has no objection to this.

He took out the standard contract, filled in his name, and handed it to the other party.

But when the female writer signed her name and handed the contract back to Wang Yan, he was taken aback.

"Elena Ferrante, the mysterious Italian writer?" Wang gradually looked at the contract, and then at the other side, his expression a little surprised.

If the greatest writer of all time is Hugo, there is some controversy.

Well, the most mysterious writer is Elena Ferrante, there is no doubt about it.

Since 1991, the author has been able to publish a bestseller every year.

But because she never appeared in public, even her name was fake.

Many people began to speculate that it was a pen name shared by a group of writers.

"Are you really Elena Ferrante?" Wang gradually felt like witnessing history.

"Hehe," the writer smiled, handing over a stack of papers.

"This is a copy of all the manuscripts I have made since my debut novel, Sinister Love. ”

"Also, this is a bank record of the royalty share paid to me by the publisher. ”

"If Mr. Wang still doesn't believe me, I can authorize the website to audit the bank records. ”

Belch...

Wang gradually still couldn't suppress his curiosity, "So, why? I think there are many publishers who are interested in Elena Ferrante's new work, right?"

"The big publishing houses can't tolerate my behavior anymore. The female writer sighed, "Compared with small publishing houses, it doesn't seem to have any advantage in publicity channels, right?"

"What's more, I prefer to trust my peers than the editor-in-chief of the publishing house. ”

She couldn't help but smile, her face was a little weird, "Especially this male colleague, in order to support women's rights." ”

"You can run naked in front of a group of women and the media. ”

Belch...

This conversation can't go on!

Wang gradually smiled awkwardly and said to the female writer: "You have to wait a little while in New York, we need to contact the translator." ”

"If you are satisfied with the level of translation, then My Genius Girlfriend can officially start serialization on the website. ”

"Of course," Wang gradually wrote a note and handed it to the other party, "your expenses in New York will be reimbursed by the website." ”

"Its treatment will refer to the author of "Harry Potter", which is very popular in the English children's book market, jk?? Rowling's standard. ”

Elena Ferrante took the slip and stood up, and after nodding to Wang Wan, she walked out of the office.

Looking at the back of the mysterious writer leaving, Wang gradually picked up the internal phone and dialed Tom.

"Find a batch of Italian translators immediately, this "My Genius Girlfriend" will definitely be a big seller!"

"You and I will personally supervise," Wang gradually began to enter a state of fantasy on the phone, "if the website can publish a famous book..."

"Ahem. Tom quickly pulled Wang Yan's thoughts back with a cough, "There is no problem in finding a translator." ”

"But overseer, King, have you forgotten that St. Patrick's Day is coming soon?"

"We've accepted Apple's invitation to attend its new product launch. ”
