The Goddess Shines on America

Chapter 38 The Publishing House Comes to You

When the whole family returned home, it was only in the afternoon. Since school was over early, everyone naturally had their own things to do.

James is going back to college immediately, and will definitely be back later tonight, because he has to make up for the time he was delayed. Oscar immediately rushed out to play football, and within five minutes, the two men in the family rushed out.

"Oscar is really full of energy~"

Alice went lazily on the sofa: "Mom, let me call Professor Posak, I don't know how they have handled the company these days."

Sophie naturally agreed, and she could only hear her voice in the kitchen but Hannah sat next to Alice playfully to see how her sister was working.

"Beep...beep...beep..."

The phone rang repeatedly, but after a while, the other party's voice message function was turned on.

"Hello, welcome to call Bosac's family, we are currently away due to something, if there is..."

Alice hung up the phone without further ado, blinked, as if she had just realized something, and said to Hannah inexplicably: "Our phone doesn't seem to have voice mail!"

Hannah blinked with an innocent look on her face: "It seems so!"

"Well...forget it, who cares, baby, do you want to go shopping?"

Time passed, the sun gradually set, and when the golden light poured into Culver City, a black Mercedes-Benz was slowly driving on Venice Avenue.

After an overnight read by seven editors, everyone spoke highly of the work. Although at the very beginning, what attracted everyone the most was the various advanced technologies mentioned in the article, even including the detailed description of the computer control program, but after everyone read it carefully, there is no doubt that everyone was fascinated by it. The wonderful plot attracts.

However, a new question page came soon after. Editor-in-chief Domingo called the author's phone number many times, but he couldn't get through. The other party didn't even set up a phone message. As a result, Bantam Press in New York couldn't communicate with each other at all!

So there is no way, as the person who accepted the submission, Brown had no choice but to take a plane across the entire US territory, go through untold hardships, rush from New York on the east coast to Los Angeles on the west coast, and then rent a car to worship the mysterious Asian family. family.

After a day and a night plus the time to catch a plane, Brown has read through the entire "Jurassic Park", and has even reached the stage of repeated taste.

"No. 15, Wenton Street, Culver City, Alice-Vivi-Wang, abbreviated as AVW, should be a Chinese lady. What a genius, generally speaking, this kind of people write about the life of Chinese Americans in the United States, but she wrote A science fiction novel was published! Leanna, a woman, and a woman of Chinese descent, actually wrote a science fiction novel that made me hooked!"

"Mr. Brown, please forgive me for taking out my notebook just now. Could you please write down what you just said on it yourself? After I have evidence, I can go to court to sue you for discrimination against women."

"Ahem!"

Brown was also accompanied by his secretary, Leanna, who was holding a notebook in a loser posture in a serious manner at the moment.

"Lianna, I'm serious. Don't you feel surprised? You know, although our publishing house does not have female writers who have submitted science fiction manuscripts, almost all of them are romance novels disguised as science fiction. For example, in the "You Who Came from Outer Space" not long ago, I don't even know what to say, the alien still looks like a human, is he a handsome guy? And a..."

"But it's really good, isn't it? Mr. Brown doesn't like it very much, but it is undeniable that this science fiction romance novel is indeed a hit."

"Well, I knew it was useless to tell you this."

Brown sighed with emotion, and as the car continued to drive towards the destination, he looked down at the manuscript in his hand again.

Brown was really curious about the author of this novel. When he read the entire novel and saw the identity of the author himself, he almost didn't pop his eyes out.

A Chinese lady! ?

The protagonists are surviving on an island full of dinosaurs. Jurassic Park, which can be called a sci-fi thriller, was actually written by a Chinese lady who lives in Los Angeles?

At that moment, Brown had already realized the potential of this Alice Wang, because he was absolutely sure that the other party was definitely a newcomer writer.

The debut novel is a science fiction thriller novel with a length of about 300,000 words, and it is also very exciting, and it is also a Chinese woman. Putting these two elements together, the promotional slogan for a month can be directly determined!

Too much hype!

"It's more likely that the other party is a housewife, but I can't deny the profession of a teacher. It's a pity that the phone can't be connected. I hope there is no accident."

If it wasn't because the phone couldn't get through, there was no need for Brown and his secretary to make a special trip to Los Angeles. After all, this flight was across the entire United States. Of course, having such a long time allowed him to savor the book again, and this also made him appreciate the talent of the mysterious author even more.

After all, there is a lot of profound biological knowledge written in this book!

Not long after, the rented car drove into Wenton Street, which is a typical middle-class neighborhood. Brown walked forward slowly. When he passed No. 7, he couldn't help being surprised by its extraordinarily large and gorgeous appearance. After passing by a few more houses, he stopped in front of No. 15.

"The price of this building will not be low."

Brown first looked at No. 7 in the distance, then at the house in front of him, and said with emotion.

House No. 15 was built on an extraordinarily large green area, with an area twice that of its neighbors. Although it was much smaller than the Beverly Mansion No. 7, it was still extremely conspicuous in the surroundings. Furthermore, the flower beds, fences, automatic irrigation and sprinkler facilities surrounding the house, and even the small fountain standing on the lawn all require high costs to create.

"If Mr. Brown is envious, just work hard to make money. As long as you can keep this author firmly tied, are you afraid that Mr. Speck will not give you a bonus?"

"Ahem, Lyanna, let's knock on the door."

The two talked and came to the door, rang the doorbell, and soon, a female voice came from the intercom.

"Hello, this is the Wang family, who can I find?"

Hearing the English with a London accent, but it was a woman's voice, Brown was even more surprised: "Hello, is Miss Alice Wang at home?"

A voice came from the opposite side: "She is still at school, may I ask if you have anything to do with her?"

Brown made a silent grimace, and whispered to Lyanna: "See, I just said that lady is a teacher!"

Lyanna didn't even look at him, and said into the intercom: "Hello ma'am, we are the editors of Bantam Books in New York. Ms. Alice Wang submitted a novel to the company, but because the call didn't go through, I Brown and the editor-in-chief rushed to Los Angeles immediately, intending to meet with her."

After a moment of silence, the door opened.

Standing in front of Brown and Lyanna was an extremely beautiful Caucasian woman. She should be close to forty years old, but her appearance was almost ten years younger, and her figure was even more attractive. Seeing it suddenly, Brown subconsciously froze.

"Ouch!"

So immediately after, he was secretly pinched by Lyanna.

"lady?"

"You two, please come in."

The person who opened the door was of course Sophie. Although I don't know why Alice suddenly thought of some books, but since the editor came to the door, she naturally said, "Alice won't be home in about an hour. I'll make tea for you."

Brown and Lyanna stepped into the house. The Wang family's living room was very spacious, and the oak floor was extremely delicate. Undoubtedly, although this family only lived in an ordinary mid-range neighborhood, their income was absolutely high, and it definitely belonged to the same type as the oversized house on No. 7.

"Ma'am, I don't know who you are?"

Seeing that Sophie was only "in her thirties", for a while, Brown was a little confused about the interpersonal relationship in this family.

"Oh, my name is Sophie Wang."

In the blink of an eye, Sophie realized what the editor was thinking. Thinking of the experience of the Bosack couple's visit a few days ago, she smiled slightly, with a very proud expression on her face.

"Alice is my daughter."

Sure enough, when Sophie said these words full of mischief, Brown's face suddenly showed a ghostly expression, and although the young woman beside him still had a straight face, her eyes also revealed a look of astonishment .

So, she immediately added with a smile: "She is only twelve years old this year!"
