The Goddess Shines on America

Chapter 417: , Falling objects and long time no see

This trip home is not all in one go. After all, the voyage from London to Los Angeles is not half the length, and there will be a turnaround during this period. Before she left, Alice had already informed her family that she would take a little bit of time to get busy with work in New York. Of course, the gifts promised to her family are indispensable. Since she has a short stay in Manhattan, she doesn't mind spending more time visiting specialty stores.

But before that, the work must be completed first.

"Oh **** it, can anyone tell me who did this!?"

In the central business district in the early morning, when Alice got off the taxi, she saw a lot of people around the corner of the office building. A man in a gray trench coat stood in the corner, pointing righteously at a bag of garbage bags that had fallen to the surroundings.

"This is Rockefeller Plaza. How many people will pass by the foot of this building every day? He is going to kill people deliberately if he throws objects from a height in such a place!?"

Alice shook her white windbreaker, shook her brown leather boots, and walked straight to the man.

"Police officer, Mr. Officer, you can count it!"

At the same time, the man saw a policeman pushing aside the wall and walking towards the scene, and immediately shouted: "Look and see for yourself! Someone is throwing objects in the sky!"

Alice was one of the spectators who had been surrounded by a circle. The police looked at the trash that fell to the ground, and it was actually filled with a lot of takeaway spaghetti left over from last night.

"Sir, have you been smashed?"

"Me? I didn't." The gray-clothed man said gratefully, "But it's almost! That gentleman, help me prove that when the **** bag of steel fell down, did I just stand...that? position!?"

The police looked at the onlooker who was fingered, and the other side stood up and said, "Yes, sir, I was so frightened at the time. There was a bang, it was like firing a mortar!"

Many onlookers witnessed the whole process. After all, although it is past nine o'clock, there are still many people walking around here. Immediately, in response to the words of the onlooker, everyone complained.

"It's really scary, and it's actually spaghetti! Look, look at this messy look, how disgusting it is. The cleaners will also be troublesome to clean."

"Pizza Hut’s takeaway box, this gentleman, and Mr. Police Officer. I’m a lawyer. I strongly recommend that you find Pizza Hut nearby and find the real culprit of the high-altitude throwing objects from the takeaway order! Made in this kind of downtown area. He must bear legal responsibility for this dangerous behavior!"

"Yes, yes, and everyone can see that this building is not the kind of glass curtain wall structure, the kind of open glass windows at a glance. These are all old buildings built in the 1930s. Open a window and throw something, that person can make it once, and he can have it a second time!"

It was so lively, Alice quietly stood in the crowd and was happy. It's too lively and it's really rare. I haven't visited Manhattan again for a long time, and I actually staged such a good show for her early in the morning.

"Don't worry, we will investigate seriously." The police officer looked at the mess very seriously: "This is a very bad behavior. I will call my colleagues immediately. Please do not disrupt the scene. The police will soon action."

The situation is already very obvious.

The smashed Pizza Hut lunch box, meat sauce, cheese, mushrooms, bacon and chilled noodles are obviously leftovers for five to six people overnight, and there is not much left. Leftovers for five to six people, takeaway lunches for company employees, who doesn’t order their own share? Extreme waste, coupled with the high-altitude parabolic behavior early in the morning, which pedestrian will not be filled with righteous indignation?

"It's a damn, typical character is corrupt, and it's still a whole company, it must be the best of the group." Alice was also shocked, shocked that she even hiccuped back after eating too much breakfast. , But fortunately the police had already arrived, so most of the crowd of onlookers dispersed, including the gray-clothed man who was yelling just now.

And that happened to be Alice's goal.

"Mr. Brown?" The girl hurried up the steps to follow his back: "Mr. Brown?"

The man turned his head in surprise and saw the person who came, his surprised expression suddenly turned into a surprise: "Oh my goodness, Alice!?"

Brown, the senior editor of Bantam Company, the world's top large publishing house, expressed surprise at this early morning meeting: "It's been a long time since I saw Alice. How long has it been? Half a year? Has it been a year?"

"About a year and a half?"

Alice stuck out her tongue playfully. She just combed her bangs on her forehead this morning. When the little pink tongue spit out, and the breeze blew, she was telling the old editor to blink.

"Then you are here today..."

"Yes, I have works for you again."

Alice said lightly the topic Brown was most eager to hear: "So let's go upstairs first?"

"No problem, no problem! Oh my goodness, you finally have a new book again!"

Brown, who was still angry about throwing objects at high altitude in the previous second, immediately threw the anger out of the sky in the next second, and even walked much faster. He quickly walked into the lobby of the office building and quickly came to the elevator to wait. Although this was not a good place to talk, he could not help nagging a lot on other topics.

"Our company routinely sends you an appointment email every month!"

"Well~ I know this, but I am not a full-time writer after all."

"You published a mystery novel in Japan more than half a year ago. I also read it specifically. It's a wonderful story. Congratulations on winning the Edogawa Ranbu Award."

"The gold content of that kind of award... Oh, let's not talk about it, but Brown, I don't remember that I have some English version of "After Class", eh, where did you see it?"

At this time the elevator door opened, and the two followed other white-collar workers into the elevator room. Faced with Alice’s question, Brown was rather dumbfounded: "Don't you know that this novel has been translated into English?"

Alice looked at him and blinked.

"Ah... yes, I remember, I handed over the translation rights to Penguin."

A girl with a lot of things, this moment can be regarded as a taste of what it is like to be embarrassed. Who doesn't know that Bantam in the United States and Penguin Publishing in the United Kingdom are the top two giants in the world? The "two big" in the industry naturally means a strong competitive relationship. In front of the editors of Bantam, I told myself that I had given the right to translate a certain book to their opponents, um...

To be reasonable, Alice has a very good heart.

"Oh, didn't I come to you here?" She smiled and said, "Editor Domingo should have arrived at the company, but I have prepared a great gift for you."

This is very worth looking forward to, so during the whole process of the elevator going up, Brown was almost so excited to sing loudly!

Because he is very aware of Alice's talent in the field of literature!

Although this girl has been known as an entrepreneur in recent times, as a literary editor, Brown will certainly focus on Alice’s achievements in his field while focusing on other fields. .

Since Alice's achievements in other careers have become more and more brilliant, the two novels she published in Bantam have also become more popular. It’s also the reason why her Silicon Valley career is particularly eye-catching. Many people are also very interested in her Virgo "Jurassic Park". Bantam even conducted a survey a few days ago. The results show that a considerable part of the Readers are really computer students and company employees!

If the business itself promotes the sales of "Jurassic Park", then the age and gender of the girl itself will become the reason for the promotion of the vampire romance novel "Blood Fairy Tales".

The two protagonists who are close to the author’s age at the time of creation, and the age and gender of the author are in sharp contrast, the indifference to murder in the ice and the snow, campus bullying, the perverted adoptive father and even the male protagonist’s father’s **** hobbies, during the period of prostitution Relevant details, even the "male" identity implied by the girl vampire itself, are enough to cause too much controversy in this novel.

Furthermore, when these disputes are connected to the author's identity, sales will naturally increase strangely.

Finally, the elevator opened on the floor of the publishing house, and Brown almost trot all the way into the office first, and couldn't wait to yell: "Guys, see who I brought!?"

Alice stood steadily near the door.

"Love, love, love, Alice?" This is a young editor who raised her head~www.readwn.com~ This is a middle-aged female editor who stood up, dumbfounded and was taking off her glasses.

"Brown, what kind of **** is your kid?" Just when the door of the editor's room was opened to find the water dispenser, Domingo said softly: "Alice, how did you invite her to us again? of?"

To say that the feelings of the first two employees can be understood, Domingo’s words made Alice a little bit guilty. She stepped forward and said: "Hey hey, look at what you said, I seem to be Is it kidnapped? Or is it that your old employee turned out to be a potential evil lo*ic*n, who just suddenly awakened?"

In the same way, the first sentence is easy to understand, while the latter sentence is quite elusive. Well, if you don't understand it, you won't understand it. Whoever is there will immediately cover up such trivial matters. Domingo greeted him with a laugh, really overjoyed!

"Alice Alice, you haven't patronized our bantam for a long time!"

Holding the hand extended by the editor-in-chief, Alice smiled: "Well, so I brought you a big gift this time." (To be continued.)
