Dear readers and friends, if you still like this book, if you have the ability, please make up for the chapters that you did not subscribe to in the previous part of the "Fugitive Report", it has been really bleak and bleak recently, very, very, very unsustainable, and very, very, very need your support.

"No need to apologize, dear Mr. Lindbyer."

Grace smiled tolerantly, "Let's get back to business, Mr. Editor-in-Chief, you can assume that I have assured: the Board of Directors will never do anything against your beloved Supernatural Legends, on the contrary, it is precisely in order to make Supernatural Legends develop more rapidly that some group of damn bastards will deliberately convene a special hearing that you must attend." ”

"I don't quite understand what you mean, Dear Mr. Grace/Akehays."

"No, you know that."

Grace lowered her head slightly, and quickly pulled out another document that was somewhat discolored, even visible from the corners and even wrinkled from the corners, and visible from the center: "Can I read this document?" Dear Mr. Lindbyer, this may take a little bit of time. ”

"Please, please."

"Thank you very much, dear Mr. Lindebyer, for being so accommodating."

With that, Grace put her glasses back on and began to slowly lift the file at hand.

Moreover, as the venerable gentleman accomplished these slow movements, he said in an equally slow and logical manner: "Dear Mr. Editor-in-Chief, from what we have agreed upon, you seem to have given me permission to omit some of the ink-wasting nonsense at the beginning of the document, and to read directly what we are all really interested in. ”

"Yes, yes, dear Mr. Grace, there is not the slightest error in your memory."

"Good."

It was at this point that Grace had unfolded the file, adjusted the direction, and found what she needed at the same time. As a result, Lindbyer/Waldcher's ears immediately sounded the flat voice of an old guy who always had no emotion when he read the document: "All along, due to the positioning and strategy of the magazine, Supernatural Legends has always adhered to a certain fixed standard of use......"

As soon as he heard this, a very ominous premonition immediately rose in Lindebyer's heart.

Sure enough, in a still-calm manner, Grace continued, "Specifically, the criteria are reflected in a darker style, offbeat articles, and a half-share of new authors and brand-name authors---- which is Mr. Lindbyer's favorite method---- long ago, because the magazine was responsible for discovering new talent, nurturing readers, and building brands, and this strategy was very correct and absolutely unreproachable." ”

"But!" When the word came out between the lips of Grace/Ackhays, Lindebyer suddenly noticed that for some reason, Mr. Grace's slightly raised head and eyes in the upper position seemed to reveal some helpless emotions:

"However, due to the appearance of "The Cage of Skyrim", "Supernatural Legends" suddenly attracted a large number of new readers some time ago, and also gathered a considerable number of famous authors, but unfortunately, since the sudden disappearance of Mr. 'Consul', this trend cannot be continued, and it is difficult to maintain. Under such circumstances, in order to avoid the continued loss of the achievements that have been made so far, and to make better use of the natural advantages of these achievements, "Supernatural Legends" should set aside more space for famous authors, stabilize the results, and gradually transform, from the current dark style to a more popular style, in addition to ......"

"I think I understand, Dear Mr. Grace."

Lindbyer, who didn't want to continue listening, suddenly raised his left hand gently, and at the same time slowly interrupted: "Obviously, the gentlemen of the board seem to have finally discovered that the strategy that the editorial board of Supernatural Legends has always adhered to, and is currently continuing to implement, is a bit out of place?" ”

"You seem to have a different opinion?"

"No, I couldn't agree more."

Lindbyer shook his head slowly, "The Board of Directors and you are well aware, and I am well aware, that the current strategy of the Supernatural Legends editorial board is indeed not conducive to the preservation of the fruitful results that have been achieved, nor is it conducive to exploiting the natural advantages of these achievements. ”

"Or do you have a better suggestion?"

"No, I didn't. Dear Mr. Grace/Ackhays, you deserve to commend the author of this report. Although I haven't finished reading it, I can confirm with great certainty that the advice made by this talented gentleman can definitely help Supernatural Science Fiction quickly get out of the predicament, stabilize the vested results, give full play to the brand effect, open up the secondary market, and derive intangible advantages. ”

"But why do you have such a sad expression?"

"No, it's not sad, Dear Mr. Grace/Akehays, I'm just a little tired."

"Just a little tired," said Mr. Lindebyer, despite the slight tremor of the muscles in his cheeks and the pain of his clenched palms.

"Come on, dear Mr. Lindebyer. Even if I have wasted fifteen years of my life and have not developed any understanding of you, any gentleman with glasses can tell that you do not like the report I have at hand. ”

"No, I like it."

Lindbyer exclaimed, "Why don't I like it? It can bring profits, keep sales, open up the situation, stabilize the author! The benefits are not even countable, not to mention that it takes no money, no personnel, and no boring technical specialties to accomplish all these miracles, only the abandonment of the ridiculous style of Supernatural Legends, the outdated tradition of helping new authors, and the fact that some gray-haired fool in the editorial office has finally begun to emerge from his head, giving up the strategy of running a journal that he has only adhered to for fifteen years! ”

"Hey, hey, dear Mr. Lindebyer, please calm down." Grace leaned over, carefully examined Lindebyer's expression, and said with a little worry: "Take it easy, it's not time to despair, you can't lie in my office and cry loudly." ”

"Rest assured, Dear Mr. Grace/Ackhays, I'm calm and relaxed, and I won't make a mess of your office." Perhaps because he was too excited, when he said this, the editor-in-chief tried to show a cold and unforgiving tone, but only revealed more sad expressions.

"Well, well, dear Mr. Lindebyer, you are calm and relaxed."

Without the wisdom and experience accumulated over the decades, Grace was sure that now was not the right time to argue, and following the tone of Mr. Lindlindebyer, the well-versed old man quickly re-threw up a topic that Lindbyer would definitely be interested in: "I just want to tell you that such an outcome can be avoided." ”

"Can it be avoided?" Lindbyer's eyes widened.

"Yes, it can be avoided entirely."

Grace nodded vigorously in the most definite way, "Look, dear Mr. Lindbyer, this damned report looks a little older, two months have passed since it first lay in front of me, to be exact. Dear Mr. Lindbyer, there must be something very interesting in putting aside your well-known frugality for a moment, and using your equally acclaimed wisdom. ”

"What do you mean?"

"I don't mean it alone, I mean, dear Mr. Lindbyer, you should probably know that Grace/Ackhays is not the only one of the board bastards who disagrees with this report."

"Oh! Mr. Grace! ”

"Yes, dear Mr. Lindbyer, we still have a chance."

"Opportunity?"

"Yes, the last chance, the only chance."

"Please forgive me for my sluggishness, honorable Mr. Grace/Ackhays."

"Just like I once said." Grace sat down slowly, putting her back back back into the soft chair, "Dear Mr. Linde Baier, our chances depend entirely on your answers to certain questions. ”

"Questions?"

"For example, why has the sales of Supernatural Magazine been declining again and again for three months?"

"But it really doesn't have any other answers!"

"Oh! Dear Mr. Lindbyer! People often say: when you encounter problems, don't always think about others, you should think more about yourself. ”

"Huh? Does this have anything to do with me? ”

Lindebyer instantly showed a very surprised expression: "Should I take the blame and resign?" Because Supernatural Tales has increased sales tenfold? ”

"Oh! No, no, no, dear Mr. Linde Baier. You don't have to be forced to find responsibility for yourself, after all, you don't have to, and in a matter of days, you'll be rewarded and your Supernatural Tales will change tactics. ”

"What else should I do? Although the magazine's sales have been declining, in the past three months, my editors and I have been trying our best to select better manuscripts, discover more potential authors, and find more ......."

Grace/Akhays were not at all interested in such an argument: "It's all an answer without any price. ”

"yes, because they don't have a damn profit and don't have the direct effects that the bastards love the most." Lindebyer said this to himself in a voice that no one could hear, and at the same time frowned, and asked in a gradually lengthened tone: "Okay, well, I admit I can't think of it." Dear Mr. Grace/Akehays, I think I need your advice.
