Chapter 815: Make a living

Tobias may have been drunk there at night and did not go home all night. This made Shen Long save a lot of trouble. Otherwise, if he wanted to be violent to his family, Shen Long could not guarantee that he would be interrupted. leg.
Waking up in the morning and having breakfast, Shen Long chose a set of Snape ’s pitiful clothes that were still neat and tidy, and cleaned his hair in the bathroom to make him look more energetic, Snape Pu's hair looked terrible at random.
"Eileen, I'm going out. 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 thing must be seriously considered, especially before finding a new way to make a living, Irene Prince was not so easy to make a decision, so he did not urge him to go out first.
After coming out of Spider Lane and replacing the subway twice with the map, Shen Long found his destination this time-Penguin Publishing Group ’s office building in London. That ’s right, Shen Long intends to copy the paper again.
To be honest, for an eleven-year-old child living in the bottom society, there is really not much good way to make money. Going to work, there must be no company to collect, go to the football club to play football, the current star income is not high, And at the age of eleven, there is still a long time to enter the first team, and it will affect going to Hogwarts to study.
Comparatively speaking, copying books is relatively free. Although eleven-year-olds are a little surprised to write books, it is not impossible, and it is also conducive to freeing Irene Prince from the unfortunate family,
Shen Long looked at the new image of the door of the Penguin Press, nodded in satisfaction, pushed the door and walked in, came to the front desk, and tipped his toes to the receptionist at the front desk, "Beautiful lady, can you tell me Is the editing room there? "
"Oh, what a lovely little angel!" Shen Long's cuteness played a role. The brand-new image and charm bonus made her win the favor of the girl at the first sight. She looked at Shen Long with a smile, "Call My Mary, what are you looking for the editor-in-chief? Do you want that writer ’s signature? If I can do it, I will definitely help you. "
The Penguin Publishing Group mainly publishes novels and non-fiction works, as well as children's books, so it is not uncommon for children to come to the office building and ask for a writer's signature.
"You are really a kind lady, but I didn't come to sign." Shen Long sighed in his heart, thinking that I had also been a mafia father and a big brother of a warlord. I didn't expect to rely on selling Meng now, It is so sad.
In Mary's curious eyes, Shen Long took a stack of manuscript paper from her bag and handed it to her. This was what he had prepared before entering the world. Shen Long revealed the child's unique innocent smile, "This is me Can you let the editor-in-chief read your own novel? "
Mary exchanged glances with the girl at the front desk next to her. It was so interesting today that even a child came to contribute to the company! Mary instinctively refused. What good story can such a child write?
But under the influence of Shen Long ’s eyes, she could n’t really say such things. Anyway, her work is not so stressful now, it ’s better to play with him for a while, so Mary took Shen Long to the reception area and poured him a glass of juice , "Cute little writer, can you tell me your name?"
"Severus Snape greets you!" Shen Long gave Mary a gentleman's gift before sitting down, which deepened Mary's favor.
The manuscript doesn't look very thick. It seems that I can take a look first. Mary opened the manuscript. The font on it was quite immature, but it was very neat and tidy.
The first page contains the title of the book-The Lion King, and below is the author's name Severus Snape, a fairy tale written by a child? Mary looked over, and she was fascinated by this.
Shen Long thought about how to make money and what books to copy before entering the world. For a child, there is no better choice than a fairy tale. The plot of "The Lion King" is simple and full of childishness. And in the setting of the plot, reference to Shakespeare's classic book "The Prince's Revenge", it is perfect for a British child to copy this.
Shen Long drank the juice unhurriedly. Until the juice was finished, Mary withdrew her gaze from the manuscript paper and looked at Shen Long in surprise. "Sev, did you write this?"
Although she is not an editor, she has been working at Penguin Publishing House for a long time, and she can learn something by touch-by-pass. She feels that this book is better than most of the children's books that publishers are selling.
"Yes, when I was reading Kipling's" The Book of Jungle ", I wanted to write a story about animals." Shen Long nodded, "The Book of Jungle" will also be made into cartoons and live-action movies by Disney in the future. Renamed "Fantasy Forest", 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 the children's pictorial, and then I thought of this story." Shen Long vividly told Mary about her creation.
Mary asked a few more questions, and Shen Long answered very smoothly. Now Mary believed 70% to 80%. "You take a break here first. I'll go find someone to help you. Maybe it can be published!"
She gave Shen Long a glass of juice, took some sweets and biscuits, and hurried to the editing room ~ EbookFREE.me ~ to find a familiar reviewer for children's books. She didn't disclose Shen Long's age yet and handed in the manuscript. To him, "Charlie, the submission I just received, the author is still waiting outside, please help me see it!"
"It seems that the author must be a handsome guy, otherwise our Mary will never be so anxious!" Charlie made a joke, and then looked over.
It was indeed a handsome boy. If he was just ten years old, Mary waited quietly and saw a surprised look on Charlie's face. She smiled.
"The writing style is a bit immature, and the words and sentences are far from" Book of the Jungle ", but it is still a good work and very valuable for publishing." After reading, Charlie closed the manuscript and considered for a while.
"Kipling is the Nobel Prize winner in literature!" Mary murmured, but comparing this work with the Nobel Prize winner's work is enough to prove a lot.
"Mr. Snape is there? I'm going out to talk to him!" This is a very commercial novel, and it must be signed, and Charlie made an accurate judgment.
"I'll take you there, by the way, Charlie, don't be surprised to see him!"
