On the second Monday of April, in Manhattan, New York, the streets were crowded with cars during rush hour. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info look around, I don't know how many streets are covered by exhaust traffic, there is the sound of horns everywhere, the road is also full of people shuttling through the crowd, a lot of noisy scenes, and I don't know how many people can gnaw a bite of meat on this beautiful big apple, or just become the nutrients to irrigate it.

"This little thing is amazing, I really took Speick, how did he come up with such an idea?"

In the editorial office of Bantam Books, Brown is excitedly touching a large box. The box was the size of a briefcase, no more than three or two books thick, the skin was steel, but the weight was not high, and a flickering light bulb realized that it was working, and as for the effect, it was an eye-opener for the book editors.

"It's not how he came up with the idea, it's that the people in Silicon Valley are so talented. ”

Colleague Blaney wiped the table, he had just entered the company: "Such a small box can replace the functions of an entire professional computer, and the price is at least four or five times cheaper, I really convinced them, how did I design it?"

Just when Blaney also wanted to take a look, Brown laughed and pulled his hand away: "Just your hairy appearance, it's better to stay away from it, although the price of this router is very cheap, but it is also two thousand yuan, do you still want to pay the rent?"

Blaney cut off: "I'm a native of New York, how can I pay any rent? But Brown, this order must be not small, when I watched them deliver last week, it was at least a dozen tin boxes, just such a small briefcase, it costs 2,000 yuan! Tsk, the IT industry is easy to make money, look at us, a book is only a few dollars?"

"Don't take a tin box in one bite, it's called a router!"

This is the big office area, and it wasn't just Brown who was present, but not far away, young Ederson said, "Look at my mouth, Blaney, the way, the way, the device!?"

"Oh shit, isn't it just a new word, you think I'm illiterate!?"

Seeing Edson laughing and dodging the thrown pen, Brown smiled: "Okay, okay, okay, I won't talk to you more, I still have a job, so I'll go first." ”

As soon as these words came out, both of them were silent and looked at Brown enviously.

This big brother has been developed recently.

That was all last year, and I don't know what kind of **** luck he went, so he dug out Alice Wang, a cutting-edge writer. It's strange to say, obviously she didn't even bother to participate in the book launch, but the results of "Jurassic Park" sang all the way like taking medicine. Just last month, the book reached No. 3 on the New York Times rankings, and not only in Japan, but also in Japanese, French, Italian, and Portuguese, and many fans have even written to Bantam asking for details about the author.

It can't be helped, because Alice asked for a low-key treatment from the beginning, and there was no personal introduction of the portrait on the last page of the book cover, just a simple statement of her name and city of residence, and at most she mentioned that she was an Asian girl.

Yes, just this limited information still makes many people see that they are tired. The publisher used the word "girl" instead of "woman", and even related newspapers revealed that when the Japanese version of "Jurassic Park" came out, Bantam asked the Japanese side across the Pacific Ocean not to use the word "female" in the author's bio, but to use "女の子".

Not to mention how peers and readers speculate about the authorship, as far as bantams are concerned, Brown's position seems to have taken a 180-degree turn. If so, he was just a little old man who had more and more achievements and had more than ten years of work experience, but now, he has become the only contact person of the rookie king!

This is also something that makes many editors depressed, even the editor-in-chief Domingo is very painful, it should be said that Alice is really lazy, with an editor's phone, others rush to give her a business card, and it doesn't matter if the identity of the editor-in-chief or even the chairman is more valuable, guarding Brown's phone doesn't care about anything else. Therefore, whether the company contacted her, or she had something to find the company, Brown could really be said to be in power, and it was all up to him.

Fortunately, Brown, as a senior editor, knows what is most important, and the cooperation has lasted for nearly a year, and it has always been easy to talk and discuss with each other, and it often leads to all kinds of things that are pleasant.

Just like the day before yesterday, Brown just hung up the phone and talked to Alice, and he later swore to his colleagues again and again that it was just a casual remark of his own, but it still inevitably made all his colleagues punch and kick with envy and jealousy.

The sentence was, "By the way, Alice, since this book is so popular, why don't you write another one?"

Then the other party said without thinking: "Cheng, I will come to the company the day after tomorrow and send you a book manuscript." ”

The day after tomorrow, send a manuscript.

There was not even a half-second delay between the questions and answers.

"Bastard John, have you just won the Mark Six lottery and your luck hasn't gone away!?A book manuscript!A writer's months of hard work, just called by you in a word!?The day after tomorrow!?Are you sure she'll be here the day after tomorrow!?"

After learning of this result, Domingo's shouts could almost be heard by the whole audience, and all the staff of the editorial department unanimously affirmed that Brown was about to develop again.

Because, the quality of this second book will definitely not be bad, right?

At about ten o'clock in the morning, a beautiful figure appeared at the entrance of the editorial department of Bantam Books.

"Is Brown there?"

A series of white dresses set off the perfect figure, half-inch low-heeled sandals walked silently, long black hair was soft and shawl, and the dark and shiny bag in his hand was obviously Prada's latest style this year. When the guests finally arrived, Aemond, who happened to be sitting in the doorway, was completely dumbfounded.

"Ah...... Brown Brown ...... In, in, in......"

"Oh, Alice!"

"Hey, isn't this Alice, you're here, John is in his office. Hi John, get out of here!"

As soon as they saw someone coming, half of the editorial department suddenly became lively, led by Blaney, and many editors who had known the girl for a long time hurriedly stepped forward. At the same time, a door in the corner of the office opened, and Brown walked out quickly, and before he could see anything, he shouted, "Who called me? Who called me?"

"Hey, John. ”

Alice looked at Brown and patted her bag, and for a moment, as if she were a veteran employee of the editorial department, casually pointed to a certain room: "Talking in the conference room?"

Brown laughed and shook Alice's hand, looking at the girl in front of him who could be his daughter, the folds on his face were almost able to kill flies: "No problem, talk in the conference room, let's go to the conference room to talk." Hey, Edmund, pour us both a cup of tea, Alice loves black tea the most, hurry up!"

Then, before Edmund could say anything, he and Alice had already walked into the conference room.

"Ah...... That was the ...... Alice Wang?"

It was only at this point that Edmund finally came to his senses and grew his mouth in surprise: "Such a beautiful little girl?"

An editor looked at the young newcomer to the company with a teasing look and said slyly, "What's the matter, boy, you won't take a fancy to that girl, will you?"

A joke made Edmund blush, and hurriedly quibbled: "What nonsense, she should only be thirteen years old, how can I be interested in such a young girl?"

"And what are you blushing about?"

"Who's blushing!?Bastard, you're telling me again, who's blushing!?"

Not to mention the fight between Edmund and his old colleagues, Blaney touched his chin thoughtfully, looked at the closed door of the conference room, and muttered to himself: "Thirteen years old, no, but that girl's cup is really big......"

At the same time as the voice fell.

"Alice, what's wrong?"

In the conference room, Brown asked curiously when he saw Alice's eyebrows twitch vigorously when he saw Alice who had just sat down.

Alice raised her eyebrows and snorted, but she didn't say anything, just pulled the fabric of the skirt on her chest, and then opened the small pouch.

"Without further ado, let's take a look at my manuscript first. ”

As she spoke, a manuscript that was almost as thick as "Jurassic Park" was pulled out by her.
