Chapter Five Hundred and Nineteenth All-or-Nothing

"What should I do if the system forces me to copy books ()" Find the latest chapter!

"Thompson, this is not the time for you to make jokes."

"That's it."

"Don't talk about your meager connections. You must know that this time the other party is Keppel Ron, who has sold mystery novels all over the world in recent years. It's not like any meow or dog can be compared. You should go back to your Shanghai and be the person in charge with peace of mind."

"You don't want to recommend us an online novelist from the mysterious East, do you?"

"Hahahahaha."

"..."

Even in Caitlin's faction, Thompson's position is on the fringes. If it weren't for his glorious past at Penguin Random House and his senior qualifications in the company, otherwise he wouldn't even Every chance of entering Kaitlyn's office may not have a place for him.

Otherwise, Thompson would not have been sent to the far eastern capital of Shanghai to be the person in charge because of "marginalization".

In addition, after leaving Random House for a period of time, there is a feeling that people are leaving the tea, and it is almost very unpopular to come back to the headquarters during the period of time, and on such an urgent and important occasion When he opened his mouth, he was naturally ridiculed mercilessly by a group of people.

Even Caitlin, who was standing in front of everyone, looked at Thompson with a deep frown.

After all, she was one of her subordinates, so she naturally recognized him at a glance, and quickly recalled Thompson's previous "resume" at Random House in her mind, knowing that this was a Loser who was squeezed out because of losing power !

"Thompson, tell me if you have any good ideas."

Although Caitlin didn't expect the other party to come up with any useful suggestions, at least there were so many people present, including herself, that they couldn't come up with any better solutions for a while.

Maybe it's not such a headache for her to change other authors to change jobs to competitors, but...it's just that she has almost devoted herself to being one of the three vice presidents of Random House in the past two years. All the resources used, and even Keppel Ron, who owed a lot of debts, was the real headache for editors like them.

"Actually, just as others have guessed, I want to recommend a young writer from Huaguo to President Caitlin, and his work—"Lord of the Rings"!" Thompson took a deep breath, The upright belly felt like it had shrunk by two or three points, and the next second he spoke with confidence in his eyes.

Now that he chose to stand up at this time, Thompson has already made up his mind to abandon all hesitation and weakness in his heart. In addition, no one present knows the potential of that young man better than himself, and the book "Lord of the Rings" The magic it brings to people is a work worth betting everything on.

Succeed or benevolent!

From the moment he chose to push aside the crowd and come forward, he had already embraced that this time he would either gain a firm foothold at the headquarters of Random House and regain the glory of the past, or completely abandon his identity as an editor, and he would definitely not return to Shanghai in despair. Be a division leader with this option.

The scenery in Shanghai is very beautiful, the food in Shanghai is also delicious, and the people in Shanghai are very warm, but all these are not reasons to leave their hometown!

"You see I'm right."

"It's really pitiful. It's fine to be sent to Huaguo, and I'm still affected by that side."

"Has he already forgotten that because of regional and cultural differences, most of the oriental works are published overseas because of the unacceptable situation?"

"What about "Lord of the Rings", if a book like this can be successfully published, I will strip in front of the whole company!"

"I bet a hundred dollars, this book may not even pass the review!"

"..."

There are countless works to be reviewed by the entire Random House headquarters every day, and there are various types, but they are generally divided into two types: commercial type and academic type.

The former can bring very considerable profits, which is also the foundation for them to become the number one in the world, while the latter belongs to the type that is popular even if it loses money.

"President, this is the beginning of the book "Lord of the Rings", you can give it a try!"

It can be seen that this time Thompson came prepared, like this kind of works that have just gone through the review process but come from unknown authors, most of them will not pass through the president's office, so Kaitlyn heard this It is a normal reaction to look puzzled and have no impression after the title of the book.

"Let's see then."

One minute.

two minutes.

three minutes.

 …

Nearly ten minutes passed.

Kaitlyn, who was just reluctant to take a look at it, didn't know from which minute or second, her whole mind and attention were completely attracted by the content printed on the A4 paper in her hand.

No one who can enter this office is really stupid [beep——]

It is easy to judge that Caitlin's performance is completely attracted by the content of the book called "The Lord of the Rings" in her hand, and she can't pull her mind out. Experienced people know that you must not disturb this person at this time. Once you disturb the other party's fully immersive reading experience, you will probably face a violent temper tantrum.

Therefore, while Caitlin was reading with her head down, even if each of them stretched their necks and wanted to see if the contents on the A4 paper in their hands were really so magical, they were as curious as if there were several cats at the same time. It was as uncomfortable as being tickled, but he had to remain motionless, not daring to make any movement easily.

The total number of words in the three volumes of "The Lord of the Rings" is quite a lot. It is impossible for Thompson to directly print out all the contents of the first volume, so what is handed over to Caitlin is actually a short section of the opening chapter, but even This still makes the other party look at it with gusto.

Thirteen minutes.

Someone who paid special attention to the time typed out this accurate answer the moment Caitlin raised her head.

It's not that this novel can only attract Caitlin for thirteen minutes, but that its content can only support these thirteen minutes at most at Caitlin's reading speed.

Until the A4 paper in her hand was turned to the last page, and after reading the last word, Caitlin still felt a little unfinished. This is a feeling that she has not seen for a long time since she became the vice president, "Peggy, You go and get all the information in the book "Lord of the Rings", and keep it secret so that no one else will know it!"

Although there are a million thoughts in my heart that I want to continue to read the next content, it is more important to solve my own crisis at this moment. After all, there is only one position of president, and there is only one chance to sit on it. If you wait for the next time I didn't know it was the Year of the Monkey.
