Chapter 170: The Writer Who Dragged His Manuscript

Cambridge began its winter break in early December, and after almost a month and a half, Charlotte got an internship as a clerk at a publishing house.

According to her, as Christmas approaches, writers are in serious trouble pretending to be dead, and the publishing house is very idle and can find time to go home to help in the restaurant.

"Grandpa was reluctant to sell the old house in the East End, so this restaurant was rented. The old house was renovated into a residence, and my room with my parents was still on the second floor, and my two younger brothers occupied the first floor. However, because my grandfather moved to a farm he bought in the countryside of Birmingham to raise beef cattle, the second floor of the old house was more spacious than before. ”

Charlotte thought out and introduced in detail: "But I am hardly at home, my two younger brothers have applied to boarding school, this new store is doing well, my parents don't have time to go home, in fact, the old house is deserted and empty a lot of the time." ”

"Grandpa runs the farm very well, not only supplying ingredients to our own restaurant, but also actively seeking procurement cooperation with several steakhouses, and grandpa plans to open a butcher shop at the farmers' market next year......" she said and suddenly stopped.

Hall, who had been listening quietly while driving, tilted his head to look at her, "What's wrong?" ”

"I'm sorry dear, I forgot you don't like to hear this."

Charlotte pursed her lips and took off her apron, opened the window and let the cold wind blow into the car, diluting the smell of greasy food on her body.

Hall wondered why he wondered, "Huh? I'm obviously listening to you very carefully. ”

"But I just saw you frowning."

"That's because...... Uh, honey, can you close the windows first, it's a little cold. ”

"I think your grandfather had a good idea of running a farm, and your family seems to be at a critical stage of transcending social classes. At this time, it is obviously a waste to vacate a property, whether it is to sell the old house or pledge the loan, in short, it should be converted into an efficient use of resources. ”

Charlotte's delicate face became bright again, and she said with a look of praise written on it: "Grandpa's idea of running a farm is something I learned from Orange Palace. ”

"Clever." Hall couldn't help but laugh.

He just wondered that Charlotte was able to carry her vampire mother's head, and was not led out of the money to let the family move to a wealthy area to buy a house and a car, and since then he has fallen into the bad situation of raising a 60-year-old grandfather and a 15-year-old brother.

It turned out that he had found the way to "help the poor and get rich".

The organic farm + high-end restaurant game is indeed effective, if it can really persist, it will not be a problem for the Stoke family to be self-reliant and mix with the middle class.

It's a pity that his little lover's vision has grown rapidly, and the influence of his original family on her is still deep-rooted.

If she were to be Isabella, she would open a farm rental shop, and sell the old house directly to the top rich area in exchange for start-up capital to open a top restaurant in the top rich area, next to the villa mansion in Chelsea.

Then sign a purchase and supply agreement with the organic farm of the Hall family at Orange Palace, and buy a few gourmet restaurant competition ratings and trophies.

One year across social classes, two years into high society, regardless of whether he is worth money or not, at least he is qualified to visit Hall's house and have afternoon tea with Baron Helena.

Isabella didn't have to do it herself, her mother, Madame Gloucester, would have done it all.

Hall couldn't help but shake his head and put the idea behind him, looking at the bunch of golden ponytails beside him: "So it's also your idea to move to Camden District to open a restaurant?" ”

"Although I don't quite understand what you mean by the 'information explosion' era, I believe your judgment that tourism will be very developed in the future, and Camden has the richest tourism resources in London." Charlotte gives her thinking logic.

Her vision is precise, and with the development of tourism, Camden has become a newly wealthy area with rising housing prices.

Hall was very proud of this, and deliberately joked: "Maybe you chose the wrong major, business is more suitable for you." ”

During the six months of school, the two communicated on the phone, Charlotte had never talked about the topic of family, and at this moment there was a feeling that the little lover had suddenly grown up, which was particularly amazing.

"Without you, business would be my only option." Charlotte's eyes sparkled brightly.

Hall was stunned, then just smiled and took her hand and rubbed it gently.

The skin of the slender white fingers is soft, but the belly of the fingers is slightly hard, which is the muscle left by physical work during the development of the body, and it takes many years of pampered life to disappear.

Charlotte looked out the car window at a small two-story building on the narrow and dirty street that was getting closer and closer, and flipped her hands and interlocked her fingers with Hall, using all her strength, and her knuckles were white.

It was this fiery Ferrari 944, this chaotic street, and the last time she pretended to be frank about her family situation, she was interrupted by the other party's indifference.

This time she finished.

"Do you like working at a publishing house?"

Entering the old Stoke house, Hall asked, looking at the new interior decoration.

Charlotte tilted her head and complained strongly: "Fortunately, in fact, I want to be a writer more, and publishing houses are a process of learning and accumulating writing experience." In particular, the reasons why writers delay their manuscripts are strange and worth learning. ”

"How about coming to LAp as an editor for JK Rowling after this part-time job?" Hall agreed.

JK Rowling, the girl, was initially passionate about long-form magic, but since she got the magic essay prize held by Margaret Costume and signed with LAp, she began to be hypocritical.

One would say that signing a contract first and then writing was a propositional essay, which made her feel bound and uninspired; After a while, she said that she had to fight for the cause of women's rights and shine, and when the world was in harmony, when would she engage in literary creation.

Hall was angry and his head hurt, and when he bought Raiden Hua in Los Angeles two months ago, he heard that this girl was making excuses to delay the manuscript again, and in a fit of anger, he threatened to send her to Africa to distribute condoms to black buddies to contribute to the cause of AIDS prevention.

J.K. Rowling suddenly sobered up, and in the past two months, she has written 200,000 words of drafts, which are expected to be published by the deadline next summer.

Charlotte pondered for a moment and said, "Will this conflict with my studies?" ”

"LAp's publishing house has just been acquired, and the original business has been cleaned up, and there is only one author, J.K. Rowling. And I co-authored the book with her, and I personally controlled the content of the writing. Your job will be very easy and I hope you will grow in your entirety. ”

Because J.K. Rowling has just graduated from college for a year and is immature in her writing ability, even if Hall provides the original outline, she does not write as well as she wants.

So Hall synthesized the extras of the series, as well as the 'Hall Magic Family' that appeared in the background setting of Margaret's costume magic school uniform, and guided JK Rowling to write a prequel to the series.

This will also become the first practice work of Raiden Pictures' first literary IP remake film, which is expected to be published and launched next summer, and the shooting plan will be launched as soon as possible.
