Chapter 29: When JK Meets JR (2)

Jerry smiled and watched this cute Barbie doll finish eating the cake, and earnestly hoped that the leader could jump off the chair, pat his buttocks, and then turn around as if he hadn't seen him, just like that piece of cake, disappearing without a trace~ Oh my God, the ghost knew that she could eat such a big piece of cake with such a small body, but Jerry was disappointed, because Jessica. After Rowling finished eating the cake, she rested her head on the back of her fleshy hands crossed over the high table, and her smart eyes stared at Jerry's face without blinking. For a moment, Jerry had a feeling of running away, so sad that he was actually "molested" by a Barbie doll. The corners of Jerry's mouth twitched secretly, and he was thinking about whether he should find a topic to open the very tacit silence between the two people, so as to remind Barbie that there was still a little white cream sticking to the corners of her mouth, which should be a more comfortable entry point to break the deadlock.

Before Jerry could speak, Jessica, who was smiling again, was on the other side. Rowling said, "Xiexie, your cake is delicious, Mr. JR, you look more handsome than on TV." ”

Being evaluated by a milky Barbie doll in such a tone, Jerry's heart is quite awkward. Should he say something xiexie? However, does this Barbie know what it means to be handsome? Also, how old is she? Could it be that she is a little dwarf, and she is not as young as her body seems? Is she just cheating and drinking with this innocent appearance of the cute world? Yes, absolutely, otherwise how could her small body fit such a big piece of cake? In just a moment, Jerry's mind was already spinning, and depending on where he was now, he had already conceived of countless routes to escape, or it would be a good choice to take this little dwarf hostage. Poor Jessica. Little did Rowling know that in such a short period of time, she had become a hostage of some escape plan in Jerry's mind.

No one thought that a youth idol popular in shijie would be in a café called Nicholson in a corner of Edinburgh, and a Barbie doll would be in tension.

Yes, absolutely, she's definitely a dwarf

The two men stared at each other for a long time, until a voice rang out.

"Jessica ~ Jessica ~ Where are you?"

Joe, who had finished writing a novel, looked up, but saw no sign of his daughter in the café. At this moment, Jessica. Rowling sat across from Jerry, her small body blocked by Jerry.

Hearing Joe's scream, Jessica. Rowling leaned sideways and raised her hand, "Mommy, Mommy, I'm here"

The milky sound almost made Jerry jump.

Jerry is only now showing up, and what he has done in Royal Victoria Square is indeed a bit excessive, and while he doesn't regret it, he is also afraid of some crazy believers. After all, once the human mind is unrestrained, the actions it produces can have a great shock. Think about the Japanese Red Army, which he is no stranger to, think about the Taliban terrorist organization, and think about the future of a certain person named Ben. Osama bin Laden's guys plotted it. It is impossible for him not to be afraid, after all, he is not the powerful Pedro. Bocanirola is not Carlos, the ruthless and bloodthirsty jackal. His greatest means of self-defense is to break the martial arts, but when a brick faces countless crazy believers, the situation that two fists are invincible to four hands will become a reality.

Joe finally saw Jessica behind the broad shoulders on the other side. Rowling's outstretched little hand.

This little one

"Hey~ Jessica, how did you get here." Joe hurried over and picked Jessica off her chair. "I'm so sorry, sir, she didn't bother you"

"No, no, no, she didn't, on the contrary, we got along very well. Ma'am, I envy you for having such a lovely daughter" Jerry secretly looked at Jessica. Rowling winked, and the latter made a "OK, no problem" gesture in understanding.

Typical people are small and big

However, when Jerry saw the mother of the Barbie doll, who had already wiped the corners of Jessica's mouth and looked up at him, he suddenly had an illusion that he seemed to have seen her somewhere Yes, it was such a sense of déjà vu. ,

"Joanna. Catherine. Rowling, my friends all call me Joe, and as for this little glutton, she's my daughter, Jessica. ”

Jerry soon struck up a conversation with Barbie's mother, and when he learned the woman's name, he realized that he knew her at first sight.

Oh~ It turned out to be her Harry. Potter's mother, the magical mother who will be popular all shijie in the near future, J Rowling.

Jerry hadn't expected to meet her here, which was a real joy. To Jerry's even greater delight, Ms. Rowling didn't recognize him. It's a strange thing, her daughter Jessica can recognize JR with makeup, but she doesn't recognize herself.

Could it be that children are far more discerning than adults?

Jerry threw the question straight to his head, "So, Ms. Rowling is still a writer?" ”

"Yes, yes" Obviously, Rowling was very unimpressed by such a title, and even resisted a little. A few years ago, when she was working at Amnesty International, everyone didn't believe that she would pursue anything outside of her daily work, and they would rather believe that she would have had an affair at lunch than that she would have to write in a café for a novel. She wasn't, and she couldn't

The word writer is sometimes very ironic.

"Speaking of which, Nanako-san is also a writer."

"Nanako-sanako?" The strange name immediately piqued Rowling's interest.

"Oh~ Miss Nanako, she's a very close person to me. Hmm~ Ms. Rowling, do you know Jurassic Park? ”

Rowling naturally knew about Stephen. Spielberg directed, in 1989 swept the world of science fiction, that cross-era dinosaur masterpiece has not yet been released, the whole of Britain was shocked. Oh~ Damn, did those dinosaurs come back from the ground? Yes, Rowling, who was still at Amnesty International at the time, was also taken aback.

"That's Nanako-sanako's work."

"Yes, I know, Nanako Tanaka of Japan." Rowling's voice suddenly rose a few degrees, and then, she stared at Jerry in disbelief, "You mean, you're a friend of Miss Nanako Tanaka?" ”

"Why, Ms. Rollin, you know Miss Nanako too?"

How could Rowling not know Nanako Tanaka, but Nanako Tanaka didn't know her. The same woman with children, the same hard years of tempering, Nanako Tanaka, with her outstanding talent and tenacious perseverance, created the "Midnight Bell" trilogy, "Railroadman" and "Jurassic Park" trilogy in the midst of difficulties, and thus swept all shijie. With the assistance of Cannon Tertu Publishing Company, at the Edinburgh International Picture Festival, the struggle of Nanako Tanaka, the leader of Japan's New People's Party with the theme of inspiration and talent, was made a typical feminist deed, and the whole Shijie was promoted. In a sense, J Rowling, who has a similar situation to Nanako Tanaka, almost regards Nanako Tanaka as an idol.

How could she not know about Nanako Tanaka

How could she not know about Nanako Tanaka

Jerry didn't know when, that stupid little woman already had such a reputation, watching J Rowling talk eloquently about her understanding of Nanako Tanaka, Jerry's heart rose with a sense of pride, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, "Yes, she is such a person, she refuses to give up, and she is not willing to give up." She is like this, in that icy and snowy shijie, she got out of the predicament strongly. Speaking of which, when I first met her, I didn't expect her to have such a day. Well, Ms. Rowling......"

"Joe, you can call me Joe" Rowling likes to talk like this, with a teenager she doesn't know.

"Okay, Joe said that maybe you don't believe your novel, in fact, I am also an editor of a publishing house."

"The editor of the publishing house?" Rowling looked at Jerry carefully, he didn't seem to be very old, how could it be, how could it be the editor of a publishing house?

"Trainee editors, of course. However, because of Nanako Tanaka's relationship, I have a certain relationship in the publishing industry. Joe, you should know that with the change in the focus of Miss Nanako Tanaka's life, she has stopped publishing new works over the years. And my dream is to dig up another Nanako Tanaka. So, can you show me your work, maybe, you're the next her?"

Another Nanako Tanaka?

"Wait a minute, please wait a minute." Rowling immediately stood up, then ran to the window and grabbed her stack of papers. Publishing Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was one of Rowling's wishes, but only if her novels met a discerning publisher. Although she didn't think that a guy as young as Jerry could become an editor at a publishing house. However, perhaps because she needs a reader to endure a difficult life alone, yes, she needs a reader to appreciate her talent and share the magic she has created. And readers like Jerry, who may have connections in the publishing industry as he said, are what she craves. She wanted to be able to get a sum of money so that she could improve Jessica's life and improve her own life.

Relying solely on the Scottish Government's little relief of hardship will never work.
