Pulan went back to his apartment, which was not high-grade. He rented it. It would take him at least ten years to buy such a low-grade Apartment Based on his meager salary.

Back home, he threw away his suit and collapsed on the sofa, his mind full of motley's words to him.

This time, the choice is very difficult. If he is wrong, he will probably lose his hard-earned precious job. Maybe he will be reduced to the street. He can only do some hard work he disdains to make a living. It's no exaggeration, because Leonard press only needs one sentence, and there will be no publishers in the whole publishing world of Elroy willing to hire him.

Motley gave him a business card of a small publishing house, which, as far as he knew, was one of the competitors of Leonard's publishing house, and one of the few publishing houses that could survive being oppressed by Leonard's publishing house.

"Does Mr. motley mean that I should introduce Mr. Adrian to a new publishing house?"

Pran is staring at the ceiling and muttering, "the count of Monte Cristo" has indeed been abandoned by Leonard publishing house, but this does not mean that he can do whatever he likes. Bellocre must still be staring at "the count of Monte Cristo" and waiting for the opportunity to collect this work. If he chooses to disrupt belock's plans, his job at Leonard's will be impossible to keep.

He took out a copy of the count of Monte Cristo from his briefcase and quickly looked through the story he had watched for several times.

The choice lies with him

When motley's words rang out in his ears, Leonard press chose to give up count of Monte Cristo for the time being. How should he choose?

Although the count of Monte Cristo is not finished and has too many unstable factors, he swears that he has never encountered such a gripping novel. Every scene is closely linked, wonderful and full of connotation. The count of Monte Cristo is worth his future to gamble!

······

A few days later, Leonard's press published the award-winning novel of soliciting contributions. Harvey did not expect it to be the wild rose. The content of this novel has been published too many times, far beyond the scope of favoritism.

To his surprise, the count of Monte Cristo is not even qualified to be published alone. The novels that won Leonard's prize in this solicitation activity can get rich prizes and opportunities to be published alone. At the same time, the chance to be published alone is not the only one. In addition to the winners of Leonard's prize, some other excellent novels also have this treatment, His daughter, for example, was also published in parallel.

Harvey's mood is still calm. He has sent out the invitation to dinner, and tomorrow night he will meet his smart and beautiful fiancee. No matter how shameless or shameless she was, she could not easily leave the house, even if she held her leg, unless she was willing to lend him thirty barons.

It's better to ask your fiancee. If he can't raise money, he doesn't have to be afraid of those strong thugs with his current ability. The trouble is the people standing behind them. It can be imagined that once he can't change the debt, it will trigger a series of chain reactions, which can be much more serious than the debt of just 30 barons.

Just as he's ready to borrow money, Shirley knocks on the door of her study and tells his exclusive reviewer, Pran, that she wants to meet him. According to reason, since the publication of the award-winning works of Leonard prize, Pran, the reviewer, has no connection with the count of Monte Cristo. The count of Monte Cristo has no chance to be published alone, so Harvey can only contribute to other publishers or publish at his own expense.

Harvey came down to the living room and saw the dusty face of prawn standing in the center of the living room. His face was dim and tired, and his body was shaking when he stood, which made Harvey doubt whether he would faint at any time.

When Harvey came down, Pran was relieved. He stepped forward, took off his hat and bowed to salute: "good morning, Mr. Adrian."

"Oh, welcome, Mr. Pran."

They came to the sofa in the living room and sat down. Pulan said with a bitter smile, "I'm very sorry that I didn't realize my promise to you. The problem is not your work. The popularity of the Earl of Monte Cristo is the first in the solicitation of contributions. We also give high praise among the reviewers. But it's decided that the Leonard prize will be awarded to wild rose. Its author is Kathy Elroy, the second son of the Elroy family. You should also understand the influence of a person of high status. Even a trivial word can become a famous saying in other people's eyes. "

Elroy, the family name, represents the city itself and has the status of hereditary earl. The family has developed Elroy, which was originally a small town, to its present scale and takes the family name as its name.

In the city of Elroy, the Elroy family is not inferior to the royal family, and even a collateral member will be the focus of most social banquets.

"But it shouldn't be without a publishing opportunity," Harvey said quietly

"Yes, it should be." Pulan raised his voice a little and then shook his head: "Sir, just because your works are too excellent, they feel that they can't let your works appear in front of readers. If someone compares your works with wild rose, they will find that wild rose is less than one tenth of your works. Damn it, They even canceled the publishing opportunity because a work was too excellent! "

Harvey looked at his reviewer with an unexpected look: "Mr. Pran, you don't seem to agree with their decision."

"Of course, I don't want to make a second mistake." Pran replied solemnly, pausing to look up at Harvey and saying, "Mr. Adrian, please allow me to ask a rude question. What are you going to do with your work《 Count of Monte Cristo has never signed a collegiate agreement with Leonard press, and you and your work are free. "

"I haven't thought about that yet." Harvey shook his head. The purpose of his creation of the count of Monte Cristo is to win awards and make money. As a result, there is no chance to publish it alone, wasting most of his writing time. Does he need to write a novel after he borrows money from Diana to pay off his debt? He was more interested in magic than that, and he certainly didn't want to see the count of Monte Cristo buried.

Harvey looked at Pran with a smile: "Mr. Pran, have you brought me the answer?"

He's not a fool. Pran's attitude and words have already explained the purpose of his trip.

"Yes, I'm not going to give up your work. It's so excellent that it should have a better chance. It can make all readers admire it," he said

"I'm happy to listen."
