Carol was immersed in the story and kept reading.

Outside, the sky began to grow from afternoon to evening.

Carol felt that she was reading relatively quickly,

After all, the previous content has been read several times,

Before Mr. A sent the last part of the manuscript, Carroll read the previous content several times.

It's just that at this moment, when I finished reading the whole book, I couldn't help but slow down my reading speed when I saw some details.

finally

Until the evening sunset is completely obscured by distant buildings,

The evening glow is also drowned out by the night.

"Knock Knock ......"

There was another soft knock on the office door.

But even this little sound made Carol, who was immersed in the story, shudder,

Originally, even if "Shadow Empire" had horror elements, the plot was tense, which made Carol a little nervous.

The sudden knock on the door startled Carol,

Then he glanced at his shadow in the lamp, and then answered the door,

"Come in."

Immediately after, the office door was pushed open,

Lena walked in.

"Didn't you say don't knock on the door unless there's something particularly important?"

"My dear editor-in-chief, yes, you're right, it's just that the other editorial colleagues are already off work, and I waited a little longer, but it was too late, and I didn't hear the slightest movement in your office, so I had to knock on the door."

Lina said to Carol a little helplessly,

Then he looked at Carol, and felt that Carol's gaze was a little strange,

Well, where is this looking?

Lina couldn't help but look back,

"Editor-in-Chief Carroll, what are you looking at?"

"No, it's okay, just look at the shadows."

Carol withdrew her gaze from staring at Linna's shadow with some embarrassment,

But when he turned his gaze back, he glanced there again, making sure that Linna's shadow was there.

Well...... It's probably a little stunned,

The plot in makes Carol a little hairy when he thinks about it,

What happened to 'Chang Mo' and 'Hu Yan', if it happened to him, he would immediately go crazy.

…… Well, Mr. A's writing is so real that it seems to be substituted for it, and another clear picture comes to mind.

"Oh...... Does it have anything to do with Mr. ABC's new book? ”

Carroll didn't show all of the previous manuscript to other editors until she received the full manuscript.

Looking at Carol's Shinto appearance, Lina felt a little inexplicable, and probably guessed that it had something to do with the content of Mr. ABC's new book "Shadow Empire",

After all, the title of the book has 'shadow' written on it.

"Well, yes, I'm sorry to keep you waiting so long. To express my apologies, I treat you to a dinner? ”

"Thank you, my editor-in-chief, Carol."

Lena smiled at Carol.

Then Carol looked back at the unfinished "Shadow Empire" on the computer screen, and hesitated again.

“…… Then you wait for me? Will I finish reading Mr. A's "Shadow Empire"? ”

"Well, Editor-in-Chief Carroll"

After receiving the reply, Carol turned her head again, and then looked at it with some fascination.

……

“…… Whew, that's a good work. ”

"Beautiful fairy tale. Perhaps when everyone reads him, they can touch the best memories in their hearts. ”

White Flag Country, Eyre Press.

The rest of the staff editors have left work.

In the office, Al and Penny are still not gone.

Holding "The Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" in his hand, after finally reading it,

El Chang let out a sigh and said with emotion.

Since yesterday's release of "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals",

He dragged a cooperative bookstore and left him a copy of "The Shepherd Boy Seeks Immortals".

also fought the idea of knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent,

After reading it,

can only say that it is worthy of being the fierce rival of Mr. I's "Ordinary and Great",

It is worthy of being a work that can drown out the heat of Mr. I's work.

"The Shepherd Boy Seeks Immortals" is indeed a good book.

"Ordinary and Great" is no worse than this one, but this work still puts a lot of pressure on Al.

"It's like me, remembering when I was a child, in my grandfather's country, that carefree summer vacation days......"

"I remember chasing dragonflies by the river, blowing the wind from the farmland in front of my house, climbing up the trees to get shaded, lying on the roof and watching the stars......"

Al said with emotion.

“…… But even so, I still have confidence in "Ordinary and Great", and even more confident. ”

Penny, who was also following after reading this "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals", had a smile on her face and took over the words.

Ayr paused, followed by a more determined expression on his face,

"Yes, at least these two books don't actually compete."

"Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" and "Ordinary and Great" are works of two themes,

While good work is not limited to subject matter, the conflict between the two books is not so obvious.

Readers who have read this fairy tale of "The Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" will not stop reading the serious work of "The Ordinary and the Great".

Al believes,

Although it's stressful right now,

But as long as a few days before the release of the overseas version of "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals",

Now it's just because the popularity of "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" is too high, and the popularity of other works has been squeezed out and drowned.

When the popularity fades a little, now "Ordinary and Great" will gradually become less and less affected.

And with the larger the readership base of "Ordinary and Great",

With the quality of "Ordinary and Great", what if it is a court of justice,

Even, it is not impossible to directly overpower "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals".

Al has enough confidence in "The Ordinary and the Great",

Now readers who are attracted by "The Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" will be able to grab it back sooner or later!

Al has this confidence, and he has this confidence in Mr. I's "Ordinary and Great"!

Just spend these two days...... It's good to spend these two days!

……

"Hiss ......"

"Young man, it's done here, you can rest first."

On the other hand, after writing "Shadow Empire",

After the completion of "Shadow Empire", Ji Zhuo is ready to enjoy it,

It also relieves the backache and stiffness of the shoulders and neck.

After dinner, I went to the home to massage the osteopathy.

Let the aunt pinch from the neck and press the shoulder,

Finally, the stiffness was relieved.

Ji Zhuo let out a sigh, and the massage aunt left,

Ji Zhuo lay on the massage table and rested.

From sending the full manuscript of "Shadow Empire" to Carol's side, Ji Zhuo didn't care.

Now

Finally received another message from Carol,

And then there were a lot of them.

"Carol: Mr. A! This is a great book! This work is even better than the Imperial Epic! ”

When the Imperial Epic was finished, you seemed to be right......

Without exception, Carol sent several messages in a row, all of which were a little excited and admired.

"Carol: Shadow Empire! Shadow Empire! It's a good title to get this book, and there is a synopsis, which really reflects the content of the text......"

In the next few sentences, Carol goes from the title of the book to the introduction, to the main text, to the ending later,

Boasted the whole book,

You can feel Carol's excitement and fanaticism through the screen,

There are even some incoherent words.

"Carol: Mr. A has re-authorized this work to our publishing house, which is really an honor for my publishing house, and I don't even think that our publishing house is worthy of this work!"

"Clumsy and extraordinary: then I change the publishing house?

carol：…… We will do our best to publish Shadow Empire.

carol: Mr. A, when is the best time for the official release of Shadow Empire? ”
