When Beyolai returned to the front desk, Aung Si Li was staring at the surveillance images in a daze, and after noticing Beoulai, she said, "I kind of understand a truth now." ”

"What do you understand?" asked Beoulay.

"When you're at your worst, you always meet the people you love the most. ”

"My God, that's a Chinese man, when did you like a Chinese person?"

Of course, she can see that the Huaxia guy just now looks okay, but are you sure you want to find a Huaxia boyfriend?

"Alas. ”

Aung Si Li held the small mirror and felt sorry for herself.

Not to mention downstairs for the time being, after Ye Kai arrived in the room, he took out the things he needed for washing out of the box.

I just told the young lady about my request.

Of course, it was a very reasonable request, Ye Kai was just hungry and wanted to eat something. Let them bring their things to their rooms after they are ready, and they will not go downstairs themselves.

After such a long air journey, a good sleep in the hotel should be what Ye Kai wants to do most at this moment.

Not long after taking a shower, the doorbell rang.

"Hello, room service. ”

It should have arrived with something I ordered.

When I opened the door, sure enough, there was a dining car outside, and I could smell a fragrance through the layers of mesh leaves.

A lot of British food is dark cuisine, but that doesn't mean there are no good things to eat in the UK, and now that the whole world is a village, why can't you eat other people's food in the UK?

So unless you want to experience British cuisine, it is still difficult to eat authentic British food after arriving in the UK.

Ye Kai's black rice porridge is Huaxia's practice.

Eat, eat and sleep.

…………

The next day, Ye Kai went downstairs and passed the front desk, and saw that the girl inside was looking at him, so he smiled and nodded.

As soon as I was about to leave the hotel, the young lady at the front desk said, "I'm sorry to disturb you......"

Ye Kai turned around and asked, "Hello, what's the matter?"

"The hotel provides free umbrellas, if you are going to travel it is best to bring one. ”

looked at the place where she was pointing, and sure enough, she saw two rows of umbrellas, both of which were black, which was the style that Huang Feihong often held in the movie, which was very classic.

Ye Kai went over and took a handful and said, "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome. The front desk lady said.

Leaving the hotel, the air is pleasant.

Ye Kai had heard a lot about British air before.

At the beginning of the 20th century, most of the British used coal as a household fuel, producing a lot of smoke. This smog, combined with the climate in the United Kingdom, has created a "well-known" haze at home and abroad.

With such a history, it is not surprising that people mistakenly think that Britain is heavily polluted.

But after coming to the UK, I found that there was no trace of air pollution here, and it rained lightly last night, and it was inevitable that my shoes would get water stains when walking on the road.

But there will be no dust or mud on the soles.

Sure enough, if you really want to know a place, you can't believe it through hearsay, and you still have to see the place to know.

I took a ride straight to the publishing house, and the driver of the taxi was dressed in the same way as yesterday, in very formal clothes, and his hair was carefully trimmed.

Is this a uniform or a ...... Habit?

The place where the publishing house is located is not a new street, and after getting off the bus, Ye Kai saw a lot of old-fashioned houses, which are very contemporary.

I don't know if it was because it rained last night, but the buildings here are all in cool colors.

That is, with a little bit of blue coldness.

British architecture is different from many European countries, perhaps it is this unique 'coldness', or maybe this is the so-called high place is unbearable?

The people who are walking on this street also have umbrellas in their hands to prevent rain from coming at any time.

Ye Kai glanced towards the sky and walked into Cambridge University Press.

Cambridge University Press and the University of Cambridge are not in the same location, so although I came here, it was still a long walk from the University of Cambridge.

Seeing someone coming in, someone asked, "Hello, who are you looking for?"

"Hello, some time ago I submitted a manuscript to your publishing house, and the email asked me to come here before April to sign a contract, this is the content of the email. ”

Ye Kai found the mail he received at that time and handed it to the front desk.

"Hmm...... Oh, are you Mr.Ye?" he seemed to remember who Ye Kai was, handed the phone to Ye Kai, and said, "The editor-in-chief has been waiting for you, and if you don't come again, he will call you." ”

"I'm sorry, but I've been delayed some time ago, so I can only come to you now. ”

"It's okay, I'll take you there. ”

She walked out from behind the desk and motioned for Ye Kai to follow her.

The British way of speaking made Ye Kai a little uncomfortable, and they couldn't wait to add honorifics to every sentence.

Well...... It's actually a hassle.

When I went up to the second floor, there was a door that was not closed, and the front desk knocked on the door and said, "Sir, Mr.Ye is here, are you in time?"

"Oh, of course. He stood up with a smile, and his body should be two hundred and five to three hundred pounds, and said, "Let me see where the future great writer is?"

The front desk nodded to Ye Kai and left the office, Ye Kai stepped forward to shake hands and said, "Hello, I am Ye, or you can also call me Sean." ”

"Shaun, your Harry Potter is simply amazing, and now our family is your big readers. ”

"That's great, I hope you guys like it. ”

"Of course I love it. He asked Ye Kai to sit down, and he also sat back in his original position, saying,

"Sean, you speak so good English, better than my uncompetitive nephew, I wish he could stand in front of you and say a few words to you, and you will know how ridiculous his magical spoken language is. ”

Similar to the French, a serious matter is a matter of chatting and going off track.

However, Ye Kai was also very curious about the daily life of the British, so he also chatted with the editor-in-chief here.

About a century later, it is estimated that the editor-in-chief is hungry.

So we finally got down to business.

The book was rejected by an internal vote, but the manuscript that the editor-in-chief took home was seen by the children, who found that the book was not intended for children around 10 years old.

Even the young people of the post-90s generation like to watch it.

So he asked ten young people born in the 90s to read this manuscript, and they were all captured by the magical worldview of Harry Potter.

This makes the editor-in-chief even more suspicious of the publishing house's review mechanism.

How can so many people like a book that so many editors have decided that it doesn't meet the criteria for a bestseller? He loved it himself, and now he has so many readers to support it, which makes him advocate for the publication of this book.

And because of Ye Kai's authorship in China, his royalties are higher than those of other book writers in Europe and the United States.

After the contract was signed, the two went to a nearby restaurant for dinner together.

The editor-in-chief has been in the industry for more than 20 years and has a lot of experience in European and American writing, which is incomparable to Ye Kai, who only writes today, and Ye Kai can learn a lot from here.

On the night of April 29, the English version of "Harry Potter" was signed with Cambridge University Press.
