The journey home wasn't a one-off affair, as the flight from London to Los Angeles wasn't half the length, and there were transfers to go through in between. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Before leaving, Alice had already informed her family that she would be in New York for a little delay to do some work. Of course, the promise of gifts for her family is indispensable, and since she's on a short stay in Manhattan, she doesn't mind spending more time browsing the boutiques.

But before that, you have to get the job done first.

"Oh shit, who can tell me who did this!?"

In the central business district in the early morning, Alice just got out of the taxi when she saw a large group of people gathered in the corner of the office building. A man in a gray trench coat stood in the corner, indignantly pointing to a bag of garbage that had been thrown and splashed all around.

"This is Rockefeller Plaza, how many people walk by the foot of this building every day?

Alice shook off her white trench coat and brown boots, and walked straight towards the man.

"Officer, Mr. Officer, you're here!"

At the same time, the man saw a policeman pushing through the human wall and walking towards the scene, and immediately shouted: "Look for yourself!

Alice was one of the spectators who had already gathered around her, and the policeman looked at the garbage that had fallen to the ground, which was actually filled with several leftover takeaway pasta from last night.

"Sir, have you been smashed?"

"I? I don't. The man in gray said happily: "But it's just a little bit, that gentleman, you help me testify that I was standing when the damn bag of steel fell...... That location!?"

The policeman looked at the onlooker who was being fingered, and the other party stood up and said, "That's right, sir, I was also so frightened at that time, bang, it was like firing a mortar!"

Many of the onlookers were there to witness the whole process, after all, although it was past nine o'clock, there were still many people walking around the area. Immediately, in response to the onlooker's words, everyone complained.

"It's really scary, and it's pasta! Look, look at this mess, how disgusting, it's going to be a hassle for the cleaners to clean up." ”

"Pizza Hut's takeaway box, this gentleman, and Mr. police officer, I am a lawyer, I strongly recommend that you find a nearby Pizza Hut and find the real culprit from the takeaway order!

"Yes, yes, and everyone can see that this building is not the kind of structure with glass curtain walls, the kind that can be seen at a glance when you open a glass window. These are all old buildings built in the thirties of this century, just open a window and throw something, that person can make it once, and there will be a second time!"

It was so lively, Alice quietly stood in the crowd and was happy. It's so lively and really rare, I haven't come to Manhattan for a long time, and I actually staged such a good show for her early in the morning.

"Rest assured, we will investigate carefully. The police officer looked at the mess very seriously: "This is a very bad behavior, I immediately gather my colleagues, please do not destroy the scene, the police will act immediately." ”

The situation is already very obvious.

The crushed Pizza Hut box of bolognese, cheese, mushrooms, bacon and chilled noodles was apparently an overnight leftover for five or six people, and there was not a lot leftovers. The leftovers for five to six people, the take-out lunch of the company's employees, who doesn't order their own portion? Extreme waste, coupled with the act of throwing objects in the air early in the morning, which pedestrian will not be indignant when he sees it?

"Mother's legs, typical character is corrupt, and it's a whole company, this has to be the best of the best. Alice was also shocked, so shocked that she even held back the hiccups from eating too much breakfast, but fortunately, the police had already arrived, so most of the onlookers dispersed, including the man in gray who yelled just now.

And that happened to be Alice's goal.

"Mr. Brown?" the girl walked up the steps quickly to follow his back, "Mr. Brown?"

The man turned his head in surprise and saw the person who came, and his surprised expression suddenly turned into surprise: "Oh my God, Alice!?"

Brown, a senior editor at Bantam, one of the world's top major publishing houses, was pleasantly surprised by the early morning encounter: "It's been a long time, Alice, how long has it been? Half a year, has it been?"

"About a year and a half?"

Alice playfully stuck out her tongue, she just combed a bangs on her forehead this morning, and when she spit out her little pink tongue and blew in the breeze, it was making the old editor blink.

"So you're here today ......"

"That's right, I have another piece to offer you. ”

Alice fluffed up the topic that Brown was most eager to hear: "So let's go upstairs first, shall we?"

"No problem, no problem! Oh my God, you're finally going to have a new book again!"

Brown, who was angry about the high-altitude throwing object one second, suddenly threw that anger out of the clouds the next second, and even took it away much faster. Quickly walked into the lobby of the office building, quickly came to the elevator to wait, although it was not a good place to talk, he couldn't help but nagging about other topics.

"Our company will routinely send you an email every month!"

"Well~ I know this, but I'm not a full-time writer after all. ”

"You published a mystery novel in Japan more than half a year ago, and I also read it, and it's also a wonderful story, congratulations on winning the Edogawa Ranbu Award. ”

"The gold content of that kind of award...... Oh, but Brown, I don't remember having an English version of After School, where did you see that?"

At this time, the elevator door opened, and the two walked into the elevator room with other white-collar workers, and in the face of Alice's question, Brown was quite crying and laughing: "Don't you know that this novel has been translated into English?"

Alice looked at him and blinked.

"Ah...... Yes, I remembered, I gave the translation rights to Penguin. ”

A girl with a lot of nobles, what it feels like to be embarrassed at this moment. Who doesn't know that Bantam in the United States and Penguin in the United Kingdom are the two top giants in the world? The "big two" in the industry naturally mean a strong competitive relationship, and they actually told their opponents in front of Bantam's editors that they had given the right to translate a certain book to their opponents, well......

To be reasonable, Alice is very good-hearted.

"Oops~ So I'm not here for you?" she said with a smile: "Editor-in-chief Domingo should have arrived at the company, but I have prepared a big gift for you." ”

It was so much to look forward to, so Brown was almost so excited that he was about to sing the whole time the elevator went up!

Because he knows very well Alice's talent in the field of literature!

While the girl has been known as an entrepreneur for some time now, as a literary editor, Brown certainly focuses on Alice's accomplishments in his field as well as other areas.

Since Alice's success in other ventures has gone from strength to strength, the two novels she has published in Bantam have gone on to sell well. Presumably, because her Silicon Valley career is particularly eye-catching, many people have also become very interested in her Virgo "Jurassic Park", bantam even conducted a survey a few days ago, and the results show that a considerable number of readers are really computer science students and company employees!

If the business itself boosted the sales of "Jurassic Park", then the age and gender of the girls themselves became the reason for the promotion of "Scarlet Fairy Tales", a vampire romance novel.

The two protagonists who are close in age to the writer when he created it, as well as the strong contrast with the writer's age and gender, the indifferent murder in the ice and snow, the school bullying links, the gay hobbies of the perverted adoptive father and even the male protagonist's father, the relevant details of prostitution, and even the "male" identity implied by the girl vampire itself are enough to make this novel too controversial.

Then, when these controversies are linked to the identity of the author, sales will naturally increase strangely.

Finally, the elevator opened on the floor of the publishing house, and Brown rushed into the office almost at a trot, and couldn't wait to shout, "Guys, look who I brought here!?"

Alice made a steady stop near the door.

"Love, love, love, Alice?" is a young editor looking up.

"Oh, my, gold!" is a middle-aged female editor who stands up, stunned, and taking off her glasses.

"Brown, what kind of shit did you kid step on?" Just as he opened the door to the editor-in-chief's office to find the water dispenser, Domingo whispered, "Alice, how did you get her to come to us again?"

To say that the feelings of the first two employees can still be understood, Domingo's words made Alice mutter, she stepped forward in three or two steps and said: "Hey, hey, hey, look at what you said, I look like I've been kidnapped? Or is it that your old employee turned out to be a potentially evil lolicon who just woke up?"

In the same way, the first sentence is easy to understand, and the latter sentence is quite confusing. Hawkers, if you don't understand, you don't understand, who here doesn't know how to cover up this kind of trivial matter immediately. Domingo greeted him with a laugh, and he was overjoyed!

"Alice Alice, it's been a long time since you've been patronizing our bantams!"

Holding the hand of the editor-in-chief, Alice smiled: "Well, that's why I brought you a big gift this time." (To be continued.) )
