Chapter thirty-ninth, the strange family

After school, Alice didn't know that there was an uninvited couple waiting for her, so she was standing in front of a telephone booth with her sister's little hand.

"Hey, Posack, how are you doing recently? How is the progress?"

As always, the blue striped shirt was exposed casually on the outside of the jeans, and her white feet were wrapped in beige short-heeled sandals. Alice turned the keychain that she took out from the passerby's pocket while contacting Stanford.

"According to the design drawings you provided, the trial product has been completed halfway. Although it is still a little far from the experiment, the effect should not be much worse than yours. However, in terms of circuit layout, Sandy really wants to design a simpler one. What do you think?"

Since the new company is registered at the Posacks, almost all tasks have fallen on them. All Alice needs to do is provide a router design drawing, and even the product processing requires two adults to be responsible.

There is no way, she is really here, so no one can ask a twelve-year-old child to transfer to the San Jose area to live, and then go to a private house to play a handicraft workshop game in his spare time?

Don’t talk about the police. Once anyone discovers this situation, as long as he understands the law, he will call the police without hesitation!

What's wrong with the shareholder?

She is still a child!

Praise the excellent legislative protection of minors in the United States, so that Alice can enjoy life lazily, enjoy her success, and even have time to write a book!

"What do I think?"

Alice said absent-mindedly, as Hanna kept staring at the exquisite makeup box in the window: "If Sandy could really design a better circuit board, of course I would welcome it with both hands. Who wouldn't want to make the company's products better? Right?"

"But in terms of cost, Alice, you need to know that the funds are needed to develop products are very large..."

As if she was afraid that his wife would hear it, Posack's voice suddenly lowered: "...Santi has spent 2,000 yuan at present, but I think she has not made any progress. If this continues, I'm afraid that the product will not be made yet, and our startup capital will be consumed more than half. Alice, if the company needs your family's funds one day, how much can you take out?"

Alice sighed silently.

"It's okay to have a few thousand to tens or twenty thousand, but these are all undesirable measures. I said Uncle Leon, that's your wife. Just let me persuade you? Don't tell me you're afraid of your wife!"

After a good conversation, when Alice finally hung up the phone, she was extremely frustrated to find that the coins in her pocket were almost insufficient!

God knows that she just wanted to ask Posack's progress, but she had lost all the talk about "helping her husband and wife". The current situation is a bit surprising. Obviously, Sandy is planning to compete with herself technically.

However, Alice knew very well that although Sandy was definitely very talented, it was absolutely a dream to think that she would surpass her design drawing level in a short period of time, under the premise of insufficient overall experience.

After making the phone call, Alice was dragged into the store by Hannah again. The makeup box placed in the window was exquisitely styled, which firmly attracted her sister's energy. By the time Alice finally arrived at the doorstep, it was already around seven o'clock in the evening.

"I'm back!"

Then, she was stunned without surprise when she walked into the house with Hannah's hand.

A man and a woman stood up from the sofa. The man was about forty years old and had a little baldness, but he was energetic. The suit was obviously a high-end brand. The woman was around twenty-five or six years old, wearing a neat black suit, with a very cold face, giving people a sense of being uninvited.

"May I ask you guys are…?"

If it weren't for seeing her mother in the living room, Alice almost thought that it was the FBI or SHIELD who came to her house!

Alas? What is S.H.I.E.D.

"Alice, I'm glad to meet you. I'm the senior editor of Bantam Press, Orol Brown, this is my secretary, Leanna."

At the same time, Brown was almost crying when he saw the main protagonist finally making a grand appearance.

When he learned that a work like Jurassic Park was actually completed by a twelve-year-old girl, Brown had no idea how to express his surprise.

God, what does a twelve-year-old girl mean? Although it’s not that she is unable to write novels, it’s just some fantasy children’s adventure stories, or themes like Snow White!

But the depth of "Jurassic Park" far exceeds this standard. No, it should be said that it is already a science fiction work in the real literary field!

Well, it's twelve years old. After the initial surprise, Brown barely accepted this reality.

The problem is, I thought that after school was over four o'clock, I would see this magical girl at the latest at five o'clock. Who knew that when the younger brother named Oscar came home, he said that his sister took her sister shopping?

The first thing Brown thought of was, how could this family have such a child?

However, Sophie, who was a mother, did not have the intention of chatting with them more. Brown could not even learn about the mysterious Alice in advance. At the same time, Sophie was too indifferent to their arrival, which made Brown immediately realize that Alice was definitely a talented genius girl.

In this way, when no one paid attention to it and only pots of black tea were sent to make his stomach full, Bron simply read the manuscript again.

But at this moment, facing those dense lines of text, how could he have the ability to read it? But his secretary Leanna ignored him and just held a hard-skinned book and read it with relish, only tormenting him to the urge to dance with disco!

After arriving until 7:30, Brown was so excited that he was about to cry when he saw Alice who was late and finally made a grand appearance!

“It’s amazing!”

So immediately after introducing himself, Brown immediately shouted: "Alice, you are a genius girl! How did you come up with such an excellent idea!? God, use cloning technology to create dinosaurs, build dinosaur parks on unmanned islands, and even called it out of control! Tyrannosaurus rex ran out! It also allowed the velociraptor to breed from eight to nearly forty! My...oh!"

Leanna jumped hard, calming Brown in an instant.

Alice: “…thank you.”

Leanna: "You're welcome."

In the strange silence of the atmosphere, the three of them sat down. Hannah found a sofa legs and sat down playfully. Sophie came to the living room with another pot of black tea: "Alice, dad needs to work overtime tonight and it will take about nine o'clock to come back. You can just talk to Brown first, and mom is listening."

Alice took the black tea, and a trace of black and red tea leaves were still floating on the water. She blew gently and rippled up.

From the very beginning, Alice showed an extremely calm attitude. Brown has seen many authors. Not to mention that he is a veteran of the dignified Bantam Company, whenever a new writer sees even an ordinary editor coming to his house, who is not trepidated and ecstatic?

However, at this moment, especially after waiting for so long, when Brown saw Alice still having the energy to blow tea when facing her, she didn't feel it was inappropriate.

Because, in the previous article, he had read the manuscript three times in a total of at most 24 hours.

"I'll ask a question first..."

Alice saw her manuscript at first sight, Jurassic Park. As a member of the world's top best-selling novel library, this book definitely has an extraordinary status in the literary world, just like its adapted movie.

So, just like she made up Windows 98 and threw it to Bill Gates at this time, she was so calm that she almost crossed her legs.

"...You two didn't hang up the phone and flew directly from New York to Los Angeles?"

Brown blinked, feeling a little choked: "I thought you knew..."

Before he finished speaking, Leanna beside him spoke, "I asked about this after we arrived at your home. Your mother said that during the time when the publisher hung up the phone to the home, the whole family happened to be out of here. Mr. Brown meant that he thought you knew we had hung up the phone but you didn't follow it, not that we were going to come."

Alice: "…Well, thank you."

Leanna: "You're welcome."

Hannah sat on the armrest of the sofa, first looked at Leanna with a giggle, then blinked at Brown, and grinned, "Then uncle, when will my sister's book be published?"

Brown looked around the living room.

Sophie was extremely calm since their visit, and was still extremely calm after her daughter arrived home. She was very enthusiastic about serving pots of black tea. Then she brushed the dishes and washed dishes and did housework, and didn't talk, leaving them here, and they could only be left alone.

The Oscar who had returned home before said "Oh" after knowing that his sister had written an amazing science fiction novel, and then ran out of the house with a football.

Alice herself was startled when she first entered the house, but after knowing her identity, she immediately calmed down and came.

Then now, her sister said directly, "When will it be published?"

Then, who else can be there?

Yes, my father hasn't appeared yet.

Then, who else can there be?

Grandparents, grandparents?

Brown struggled to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

This Alice, this family...

Why do you feel like you've entered a haunted house?
