Stanley spoke ill of him, but Lance remained unmoved. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Listen, Stanley, it's a bestseller, if I were you, contact the editorial department right away, find multiple editors to review the book, and they'll give you professional advice, and there's nothing to lose for you, is it?" Lance stared into Stanley's eyes, trying to convince.

"What does this have to do with me? Discover a best-selling book, the credit goes to the editorial department, not mine, even if it's the book I recommend, Lance, don't be so naïve, you've worked here, you should know the procedures here, I know you're down now, eager to find a good book, a good author, maybe you desperately need to get a commission to pay next month's rent, but all this has nothing to do with me, I'm sorry Lance, I don't want to help you with this. Stanley said with pity, and then made a point: "Even if this is really going to be a bestseller!" ”

Lance was not angry at Stanley's ridicule, "It's going to be a bestseller, but I have a way to make it a super bestseller, or a phenomenal work, and make a bad work a bestseller, and make a bestseller even better, isn't that exactly what the marketing department does?" ”

"Do you have a way? Lance, why can't you change your arrogance? Who do you think you are? Look at your outfit, I dare say, the front desk must have thought you were an insurance salesman when you just came in, and if you're so smart, then why am I sitting in this office instead of you? ”

Lance frowned and looked at Stanley, not hiding the disgust in his eyes, "Stanley, you should use silence to hide your ignorance, I can't believe it, don't you never read the newspaper?" Do you know what the hottest news in New York City has been lately? ”

The hottest news?!

Stanley was stunned for a moment, what do you mean? The most frequent appearance on the news recently is undoubtedly the Queens serial killer incident, before the case was solved, the newspaper was full of a large number of case reports, the introduction of the victim and the accountability of the police, etc., after the case was solved, these things were repeated again, because the murderer was not found by the police, the media's doubts about the police were even more serious than before the case was solved......

Thinking of this, Stanley suddenly had a flash of inspiration, serial killer, solve the case, Lance?!

He immediately remembered that Lance as a family member of the victim, a hero and an avenger who caught the murderer as a novice, the newspaper should have overwhelming coverage of him, but this is not the case, because Lance did not accept any media interviews, and deliberately avoided reporters because of sadness, resulting in only a few blurry photos and a few words of introduction to him in the news, Stanley did not expect that Lance in the newspaper was his former opponent and colleague!

"You're Lance!" Stanley stood up suddenly, pointing at Lance speechless in surprise.

Lance was amused by him, spread his hands, and said, "Of course I'm Lance!" ”

"No, no, I mean ......" Stanley sat back down, slowly calming his mood for a while, before continuing: "I'm just so surprised, the photos in the newspaper are a bit blurry, and you're a big change from before, I didn't expect that person to be you, Lance, you're so unlucky, uh, although it's a bit rude to ask, but I still want to say, you say this to win my sympathy, let me help you?" It's not like your Lance style! ”

Lance looked at Stanley with a sneer, he really didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, so he went straight to the point and said: "Take a good look at this novel, Stanley, if you are smart enough, call me, and then I hope you can show the right attitude of asking for help as you said, I will wait for you!" ”

With that, Lance slapped the manuscript in front of Stanley and left Stanley's office without looking back.

Stanley stared at the doorway, scoffing.

He shook his head and stood up, ready to throw away the manuscript that Lance had left behind, although today's meeting was not very pleasant, and he did not fully show his superiority, but at least he saw that his former rival was now so down, and it was a happy thing to be happy after all.

When he was hesitating whether to throw the "" in his hand into the trash can or the shredder, Stanley suddenly remembered what Lance had just said, which made him hesitate a little, although Lance was down, but it seemed that the stinky temper was still the same as before, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a person who deliberately came to make him laugh, the ghost was bad, Stanley took the manuscript and sat back at the desk.

"I'd like to see where you got that much faith!"

The book "Lovely Bones" is very simple to describe and the language is very straightforward, and as Stanley read it line by line, this book of the school magazine-level work in his mouth was surprisingly attractive to him.

The girl, the murder, the murderer hiding in the neighborhood, these things easily captured Stanley's heart, drew him to keep reading, and soon he immersed himself in the world of the characters in the book, grieving at what happened to Susie and angry at seeing George Harvey at large......

The short part of the manuscript was quickly read, and Lance brought about a quarter of the manuscript of "Bones", writing that Harvey had an alibi, and Stanley was looking at it, but found that the follow-up part was gone, and he suddenly pounded his desk with some annoyance.

"Bones" is a family trauma novel with healing powers, but that's for the whole book, and the first part of the novel is full of depressing and infuriating plots, and Stanley can't help but feel a little gloomy after reading it.

It took a long time for Stanley to wake up from the world of the book, and when he remembered Lance's words, he suddenly understood something.

Serial rape and homicide, a young victim, a father obsessed with revenge, and a cunning neighbor, aren't all these exactly the remake of the homicide in Queens some time ago?! Stanley didn't finish the book, and he didn't know how different everything in the book was from reality, but he was sure that it was a novel based on a real case.

As it turns out, Stanley usually cares a lot about news and current affairs.

Thinking of Lance's identity again, Stanley understood it all at once!

First of all, it's a good novel, it's uncertain whether it will be up to the bestseller grade, but at least it will entice him to read it in one sitting, and for Stanley, it's not bad, it may not sell well after publication, but at least it won't make Lance's commission just enough to buy a burger.

Secondly, with the promotion of Lance, a recent newspaper figure, this book will definitely enter the public's attention, and as long as Lance mentions a few words in an interview, it is equivalent to saving a high amount of advertising and promotion costs.

The most important thing is that with Lance's cooperation, the book doesn't need to be a bestseller, it just needs to attract the attention of the public, and that is the success of their marketing department, which is the success of him Stanley, the marketing executive!

Thinking of this, Stanley immediately wanted to contact Lance, but as soon as he pulled out the phone, he changed his mind.

Holding the phone and thinking for a while, Stanley picked up the manuscript and went out to the editorial department downstairs, he decided to let the professionals review the manuscript first, and if necessary, he had to ask someone from the editorial department to contact the author or Lance, and ask them to send all the remaining manuscripts, and then let the editors review it to determine the value of the book.

Finally, he decides what attitude he wants to use towards Lance as needed.

Just begged to come to the door so rashly, Stanley was very unwilling!
