Chapter 815 Selling Cuteness for a Living

Tobias might have gotten drunk there at night and didn't come home all night, which saved Shen Long a lot of trouble, otherwise, if he wanted to rape him domestically, Shen Long couldn't guarantee whether he would interrupt him leg.

After waking up in the morning and having breakfast, Shen Long chose a clean and tidy set from among Snape's meager clothes, and then tidied his hair in the bathroom to make himself look more energetic. Pu's messy hair looked really bad.

"Irene, I'm going out for a while, have you considered what I said to you yesterday?" Shen Long asked before leaving, and Irene-Prince's face was quite tangled.

Shen Long knew that such a big matter must be seriously considered, especially before finding a new way of earning a living, Irene-Prince was not so easy to make a decision, so he didn't urge him, and went out first.

Coming out of Spider Lane, he changed the subway twice according to the map. Shen Long found his destination this time - the office building of Penguin Publishing Group in London. That's right, Shen Long planned to be a copywriter again.

To be honest, for an eleven-year-old kid living in the bottom society, there are really not many good ways to make money. Go to work, the company will definitely not charge you, go to a football club to play football. The current star income is not high. Moreover, there is still a long time before entering the first team at the age of eleven, and it will also affect going to Hogwarts to study.

In comparison, copying a book is relatively free. Although it is a bit surprising that an eleven-year-old child writes a book, it is not impossible, and it will help Erin Prince get rid of that unfortunate situation. family,

Shen Long looked at his new image through the glass door of Penguin Publishing House, nodded with satisfaction, pushed the door and walked in, came to the front desk, stood on tiptoe and said to the receptionist, "Beautiful lady, can you tell me the boss Is the editing room there?"

"Oh, what a cute little angel!" Shen Long's cuteness played a role. The brand-new image and charm bonus made him win the favor of the girl at the front desk at first glance. She looked at Shen Long with a smile on her face, "Call I, Mary, what are you looking for from the editor-in-chief? Do you want the writer's autograph? If I can do it, I will definitely help you."

Penguin Publishing Group mainly publishes fiction and non-fiction works, as well as children's books, so it is not unusual for children to come to the office building and ask for an autograph of a certain author.

"You are really a kind lady, but I didn't come here to ask for an autograph." Shen Long sighed in his heart, thinking that I was also the godfather of the underworld and a big boss of a local warlord. It's so sad.

Under Mary's curious eyes, Shen Long took out a stack of manuscript paper from his bag and handed it to her, which he had prepared before entering this world. Shen Long showed a child's unique innocent smile, "This is my Can you let the editor-in-chief read the novel you wrote yourself?"

Mary exchanged glances with the girl next to her at the front desk,

Today is really interesting, there is a child to submit an article to the company! Mary instinctively refused. What good story could such a big child write?

But under the influence of Shen Long's eyes, she really couldn't say such words. Anyway, the work is not very stressful now, so it's better to play with him for a while, so Mary brought Shen Long to the reception area and poured wine for him. A glass of juice, "Cute little writer, can you tell me your name?"

"Greetings from Severus Snape!" Shen Long gave Mary a gentleman's salute before sitting down, which further deepened Mary's favor.

The manuscript doesn't look very thick, it seems that I can take a look at it first. Mary opened the manuscript, the font on it is quite immature, but it is extremely neat, and it shows that she has put her heart into it.

On the first page was the title of the book - The Lion King, and below that was the author's name, Severus Snape, a fairy tale written by a child? Mary turned it over, and was fascinated by this look.

Before Shen Long entered this world, he had already thought about how to make money and what books to copy. For a child, there is no better choice than fairy tales. The plot of "The Lion King" is simple and full of childishness. Moreover, Shakespeare's classic "The Prince's Revenge" was referred to in the setting of the plot. It would be perfect for an English child to copy this.

Shen Long drank the juice unhurriedly, until the juice was finished, Mary looked away from the manuscript paper and looked at Shen Long in surprise, "Sev, did you really write this?"

Although she is not an editor, she has worked at Penguin Press for a long time, and she can learn something by analogy. She thinks this book is better than most of the children's books that the publishing house is currently selling.

"Yes, when I was reading Kipling's "The Jungle Book", I wanted to write a story about animals." Shen Long nodded and said, "The Jungle Book" will also be made into cartoons and live-action movies by Disney in the future. Renamed "The Jungle Book", it is now a well-known children's work in the UK, and the two works have a little in common.

"I saw the African grasslands, lions, baboons, and warthogs in children's pictorials, and then I thought of this story." Shen Long told Mary the story of his creation vividly.

Mary asked a few more questions, and Shen Long answered them fluently. Now Mary believed it 70% to 80% of the time, "You should rest here for a while, I'll find someone to help you take a look, maybe it can really be published!"

She refilled Shen Long with a glass of juice and some candies and biscuits, then hurried to the editing room, found a children's book review editor she was familiar with, and handed over the manuscript to him without revealing Shen Long's age, " Charlie, I just received the submission, the author is still waiting outside, please help me to see it!"

"It seems that the author must be a handsome young man, otherwise our Mary would never be in such a hurry!" Charlie joked, and then looked through.

A handsome fellow indeed, if only he were ten years older, Mary waited quietly, and smiled at the surprise on Charlie's face.

"The writing style is a bit immature, and the words and sentences are far from "The Jungle Book", but it is still a good work and has great publication value." After reading it, Charlie closed the manuscript and thought about it for a while.

"Kipling is the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature!" Mary muttered, but comparing this work with the works of the Nobel Prize winner is enough to prove a lot of things.

"Where is Mr. Snape? I want to go out and talk to him!" This is a novel of great commercial value, and it must be signed, Charlie made an accurate judgment.

"I'll take you there, by the way, Charlie, don't be surprised to see him!"
