Chapter 40: Sincerity from Bloomsbury
"Knock knock!"
"Knock knock!"
"Mr. Newton, Mr. Newton!"
Sandy's delicate face looked a little anxious, she had grown a lot since graduating from university two years ago and accidentally joined BloomsburyPublishing plc, and she knew Newton's surname very well, and she was 24 years old and extremely mature, but she had never encountered this situation today.
As the company's CEO, Newton didn't come out of the office all day, and he didn't eat lunch, originally Sandy thought he had more things to do today, so that's it, but he didn't expect to get off work now, he didn't even come out, and he didn't see a bunch of documents sent in the morning to let him take them out, right?
Thinking about the sudden death or assassination of certain professionals in the office that often appears on the BBC news, Sandy couldn't help but feel a tight heart, and couldn't help but knock on them violently, and the office phone couldn't get through, but there was no response, only to see that she was about to smash the door with a fire extinguisher in the corner.
"Smack!"
The door of the office that had not been opened for a day was actually opened from the inside, and Newton felt a little dizzy, but he was extremely excited, and he couldn't hide the excitement on his face, and he didn't even pay attention to his disheveled appearance.
Thinking of the magical story full of fairy tales, thrilling and extremely attractive that he had just seen, Newton's heart suddenly became hot. That's really a good story, Ben is right, this book will be very popular, and even drive the whole company to break through the current reliance and predicament, now the top priority is to quickly let Ben find the hateful Chinese, oh, the loveliest Chinese, hurry up and sign the publishing rights of this book, if the author invests in another company, it will be over.
Seeing that the female secretary in front of him was holding a fire extinguisher, Newton was a little stunned, and then seemed to understand something, turned around and looked at the door, looked at himself again, looked at the watch on his wrist again, and immediately understood.
βoh!mygod!β
It turned out that I had been reading a book in the office for a whole day, and I didn't do anything, and my thinking was still stuck at the moment when I finished the meeting in the morning, and I suddenly seemed a little annoyed, damn the book, it made me forget to do things, but then I laughed again, isn't the charm of this book here? Since this is the case, it means that the greater the chance of success, and then comforted the beautiful female secretary a few words, and walked to the editorial office without looking back.
Sandy was a little overwhelmed for a moment, didn't the boss see that he was going to slam the door? Why did the boss's face change so quickly, it was really strange, and then he quickly put down the heavy objects in his hand, packed up his things, and chased after him, as the boss's secretary, how could he not follow the boss.
"Ben!"
"Ben!"
"Hi, man, do you see where Mr. Ben is?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Newton, I don't know."
"Ben!"
"Hi, man, I'm here, why did you come to the editorial office, do you want to be an editor here too, do you have a crush on Linda? Or Murray? β
"Man, do you think I'm that kind of person? Now I have a very important thing for you to do, if this thing is done well, then our company can break through the current predicament, and even surpass the first-class company, man, tell me, can you do it well? β
"What's the matter?"
Seeing that Newton didn't look like he was joking, Ben's face suddenly disappeared, and he asked very seriously, Newton just liked Ben's serious and unprocrastinating look.
"Man, let me tell you, I've finished reading the book you gave me, it's really a good book, I want you to find the person who gave you the book as quickly as possible, and then sign the book for publication by us at all costs, of course, as the vice president of the company, you don't want the company to pay too much, right?"
Newton cautioned with some seriousness.
"Really? Do you really want me to sign this book? Newton, you've never signed a book I recommend, and this time you admit it's a good book, right? I really didn't expect that an eleven-year-old Chinese genius boy could write such a wonderful story, or was influenced by Mr. Tolkien, Newton, this is really a happy thing, and it is also a good gimmick, those media like flies will definitely make our company popular. β
"Okay, man, you can go quickly, all expenses can be reimbursed to the company's finances, and besides, you can't use too much."
After Newton finished speaking, he hurried back, and when he was halfway there, he ran back and said, "Inform me as soon as the matter is resolved, no matter when." β
"Okay, man, I'm going to meet the lady at the University of Nottingham."
University of Nottingham, UK.
At this time, the university campus is full of tranquility, and the breath of spring is approaching for students to look forward to, for the British perennial rain and fog shrouded in excess, today is a rare sunny day, mild sunshine on the grass, without a trace of cold wind.
Students who are free are wandering around in pairs or sitting quietly somewhere on the ground reading books and laughing, couples are talking about love stories on campus in pairs, and the intimate laughter does not make passers-by laugh.
At this moment, on the lawn outside a tennis court on campus, the lake in front of him was gently whisked up a small wave, and the warm sunlight fell on his body, which was very comfortable, Chen Lirong looked at the lake in front of him in a daze, but his mind was thinking about the manuscript he submitted to BloomsburyPublishing plc a few days ago, and the smile of the teenager that appeared in his mind from time to time.
"What an amazing guy! No wonder even grandpa liked him. β
βhey!chen!β
Just when she was secretly struggling with the outcome of the matter, she suddenly found a familiar figure behind her, and then got up and looked behind her, only to find that it was her classmate Kelly, and what was incomprehensible was that Kelly was followed by a man with a somewhat bloated figure, who looked okay but was too fat.
"Hi, carry, who is this gentleman?"
"Oh, Chen, I don't know this gentleman, but he said he came to you, don't you know him either?"
The chubby girl seemed to be a little upset, and I saw her look at the man with an angry face, as if to ask if you lied to me.
"Hello, beautiful Ms. Chen, I'm Ben from Bloomsburypublishingplc, Ben Frederick, this is my business card, I was commissioned by Mr. Newton to talk to Ms. Chen about the co-publishing of that book, you know, it's the book you submitted to our publishing house, I want to tell you that that book is really amazing, I love it."
"Oh, hello, Ben, my name is Chen Lirong, you can call me Chen, I want to ask if it's the HarrypotterandThesorcerer's Stone."
Chen Lirong was a little surprised, she didn't expect that book to be accepted by them so quickly, and she also read that book, it was indeed very attractive, and the young man was so confident, it seemed that it was very likely that he could really sell it. At this time, she could not have imagined the success of the book that would later make the world crazy.
"Yes, yes, it's that book, but the name is a bit long, I don't remember it now, it's this book, I promise in the name of God, Ms. Chen, I don't know if we can find a place to make a simple negotiation on the publishing rights of this book, you know, although our company is a small company, but it is absolutely reliable, we are very optimistic about this book, and we have enough sincerity."
Ben immediately expressed his position when he heard this, and immediately threw Newton's confession to the Atlantic.
