Chapter four hundred and seventeen, falling objects and long time no see

This trip home was not a one-stop moment. After all, the voyage from London to Los Angeles is not half long, and it has to go through a turnaround. Alice had already informed her family that she would delay a little time in New York and work hard. Of course, the gifts she promised to bring to her family are indispensable. Since she had a short stay in Manhattan, she didn't mind spending more time strolling around the store.

But before that, the work must be completed first.

"Oh damn, who can tell me who did this!?"

In the central business district in the early morning, Alice had just gotten out of the taxi and saw a group of people surrounding the corner of the office building. A man in a gray windbreaker stood in the corner, pointing indignantly at a bag of garbage bags that had fallen and splashed around.

"This is Rockefeller Square. How many people walk by the foot of this building every day? Is he going to deliberately kill people if he throws objects from high places like this??"

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

"Police officer, you're here!"

At the same time, the man saw a policeman pushing a wall away and walking towards the scene, and immediately shouted: "Look at it yourself! Someone actually threw objects from high places here!"

Alice became one of the audiences who had already surrounded her. The policeman looked at the garbage falling to the ground and contained a lot of takeaway pasta left over from last night.

"Sir, have you been hit?"

"Me? I don't." The man in gray said with gratitude: "But it's just a little bit! That gentleman, please help me with a certificate. When the damn bag of steel fell, did I stand in... that position!?"

The policeman looked at the onlooker who was fingered, and the other party stood up and said, "That's right, sir, I was shocked at that time, and it was a bang, it was like firing a mortar!"

Many people watched the whole process. After all, although it was already nine o'clock, there were still many people walking around here. Immediately, when catering to the onlooker's words, everyone complained.

"It's really scary, and it's pasta! Look, look at this messy look, how disgusting it is, it's also very troublesome for the cleaner to clean it."

"Pizza Hut's takeaway box, this gentleman, and the police officer, I am a lawyer. I strongly recommend that you find Pizza Hut nearby and find the real murderer who throws objects from takeaway orders! He must bear legal responsibility for committing such dangerous behavior in such a city center!"

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

It was so lively, Alice stood quietly in the crowd and was having fun. It was so lively and really rare. She hadn't visited Manhattan again for a long time, and she 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 immediately call my colleagues and ask you not to destroy the scene, the police will take action immediately."

The situation is already very obvious.

The crushed Pizza Hut lunch box, meat sauce, cheese, mushrooms, bacon and cooled noodles, which are obviously the overnight leftovers for five to six people, and the leftovers are not a small amount. The leftovers for five to six people, and the company's employees takeaway lunch, who didn't order their own? Extreme waste, coupled with the high-altitude throwing behavior in the early morning, which pedestrian would not be indignant when he saw it?

"My mother, she has a typical character, and she is a whole company. What's the best group?" Alice was also shocked, so she even held back the hiccups she had eaten too much breakfast. Fortunately, the police had arrived, so most of the onlookers dispersed, including the man in gray who was yelling just now.

And that happens to be Alice's goal.

"Mr. Brown?" The girl quickly walked up the steps and followed his back: "Mr. Brown?"

The man turned his head in surprise and saw the person clearly. His surprised expression suddenly turned into a surprise: "Oh my god, Alice!?"

Brown, the world's top large publisher and senior editor of Bantam Company, expressed surprise at this early morning encounter: "It's been a long time since Alice, how long has it been? Half a year? Is it a year?"

"About a year and a half?"

Alice playedfully sticking out her tongue. This morning she happened to have a bang on her forehead. When the pink tongue was blew, the breeze blew, it was causing the old editor to blink.

"Then you are here today..."

"Yes, I have another work to provide to you."

Alice flutteredly said the topic Brown longed to hear the most: "So let's go upstairs first?"

"No problem, no problem! Oh my god, you're finally going to have a new book!"

Brown, who was angry about throwing objects from a high altitude the next, threw the anger out of the sky, and even walked much faster. He quickly walked into the office hall and quickly came to the elevator to wait. Although this was not a good place to talk, he couldn't help but nag about other topics.

"Our company will send you routine emails every month!"

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

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

"The value of that kind of award... Oh my god, I won't say it anymore, but Brown, I don't remember some of the English version of "After Class", where did you see it?"

At this time, the elevator door opened and the two walked into the elevator with other white-collar workers. Faced with Alice's problem, Brown was quite amused and crying: "Don't you know that this novel has been translated into English?"

Alice looked at him and blinked.

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

A girl with many noble people has tasted embarrassment at this moment. Who doesn’t know that the American Bantam and the British Penguin Publishing House are the two top giants in the world? The "two majors" in the industry naturally mean a strong competitive relationship. In front of the editor of the Bantam, I told myself that the translation rights of a book were given to their opponents, well...

To be honest, Alice is very kind.

"Oh~ So I'm here with you?" She said with a smile: "Editor Domingo must have arrived at the company, I have prepared a big gift for you."

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

Because he knows very well Alice's talent in the field of literature!

Although this girl has been known as an entrepreneur for a while, 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 increasingly brilliant, the two novels she published on Bantam have also been sold further. It is thought that it is because her Silicon Valley career is particularly eye-catching. Many people have also become very interested in her Virgo "Jurassic Park". Bantam even conducted a special survey a few days ago, and the results show that a considerable number of readers are computer students and company employees!

If the career itself promotes the sales of "Jurassic Park", then the girl's age and gender will become the promotional reasons for the vampire romance novel "Blood Fairy Tale".

The two protagonists who are similar to the age when the writer was created, and the age and gender of the writer, the indifferent murder in the ice and snow, the bullying process on campus, the perverted hobbies of the adoptive father and even the male protagonist's father, the relevant details during prostitution, and even the "male" identity implied by the girl vampire themselves are enough to make this novel too controversial.

Furthermore, when these controversies are connected with the author's identity, sales will naturally increase significantly.

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

Alice stood firmly near the door.

"Love, love, love, Alice?" This is a young editor who raised his head.

"oh,my,gold!" This is a middle-aged female editor who stood up, stunned and was taking off her glasses.

"Brown, what luck is you guys going to do?" Just as I opened the door of the editor-in-chief's room and was about to find the water dispenser, Domingo whispered: "Alice, what methods did you use to bring her to us again?"

If you can understand the feelings of the first two employees, Domingo's words made Alice feel a little confused. She walked forward in a few steps and said, "Hehehe, look at what you said, do I seem to have been kidnapped? Or is your old employee turned out to be a potentially evil lolicus who suddenly woke up?"

Similarly, the first sentence is easy to understand, and the next sentence is quite incomprehensible. Well, if you don’t understand, you won’t understand. Who doesn’t know that you will immediately cover up such a small thing. Domingo came up with a laugh, and was really overjoyed!

"Alice Alice, you haven't visited our bantams for a long time!"

Holding the editor-in-chief's hand, Alice smiled: "Well, so I've brought you a big gift this time."
