Good times are always so short. President Mallorca touched the gradually thinner manuscript and felt very anxious. Am I almost done reading it?
"Thump! Thump!" Just as he was about to finish reading the manuscript, President Mallorca suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
However, he did not even look up. He only shouted,"Come in" and continued to watch with relish.
The door was pushed open, and a mature woman with a sexy figure in an office uniform came in.
She held a phone bug in her hand and said to President Mallorca,"President, Miss Sona called just now and asked why you didn't answer the phone.”
"What? Sona's phone call?" Mallorca finally woke up. He looked at the script that he had almost finished reading, coughed lightly, and said," Then I'll have to trouble you, Sabella. Give me the phone."”
The woman named Sabella was the only chief editor left in the newspaper office. Mallorca was undoubtedly very grateful that she was still loyal to the newspaper company at this juncture. He was still very polite to her.
Sabella was still strict with herself. She placed the phone bug on the table and said calmly,"That's what I should do, President."
She hesitated for a moment and revealed a troubled expression." It's just that we're going to publish the newspaper next week, and the main content of our newspaper hasn't been decided yet..."
"Hmm?" President Mallorca frowned and said," Don't tell me we don't have any news or drafts?”
"That's not it. There are still some small news in the news, but other newspapers have these, so we lack a headline that is attractive enough. Unfortunately, President, you know that we don't have enough people right now. We're much worse than other newspapers in terms of obtaining the latest news.”Sabella frowned and said in a deep voice," Actually, we can wait for a while on the news. It's just that we don't have any outstanding novels in the novel section, so we're very passive.”
After President Mallorca heard this, he immediately scratched his head with a headache and said,"That's really a headache. Forget it, you can go out first. I'll think of a way later and see if I can get those old friends to help. I'll talk to Sona first. She seems to be in a hurry.”
"Alright, President." Sabella bowed slightly, turned around, and closed the door behind her.
The Mallorca Society let out a long sigh. Looking at the phone bug on the table, they couldn't help but reach out to pick up the phone.
"Hello? Was it Sona? How are you doing over there?" He forced a smile on his face, not wanting his bad mood to infect his daughter.
However, as soon as he received the call, Sona's voice sounded a little angry."Father! What were you doing just now! I called you, but you didn't even pick up and hung up! Speaking of which, did you receive the new draft I sent you just now?”
"Cough cough! Just now, his father received a draft that seemed to be quite good at a branch of the Telegram Department. He was engrossed in it for a moment…I'm really sorry, my good daughter…Wait! What did you just say?" When he heard his daughter's angry voice, President Mallorca immediately smiled apologetically and comforted her. However, he seemed to have thought of something and his voice suddenly changed." You said that the manuscript I was engrossed in just now was sent by you?”
"That's right! Oh, why didn't you pick up the phone just now? So he was engrossed in reading that manuscript! Hehe, how is it? Are you satisfied?" Sona seemed to be in a good mood.
Satisfied? Of course Mallorca was satisfied! The quality of this manuscript was unimaginable, as it could attract the attention of the president of a newspaper company who had read countless manuscripts to the point where he could ignore calls. Most importantly, most of the characters and settings in this book were made up by the original author. One could imagine that if this manuscript was placed in the novel section of their own newspaper, it might be able to salvage the declining sales of the Tulip News Agency.
"Which master's manuscript is this?”When Mallorca thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little better as he asked.
"No, not a master. On the contrary, this was a new manuscript submitted by a ten-year-old boy!”Sona's reply stunned President Mallorca.
If you said that this excellent manuscript was written by a newcomer, he would barely believe it. But if you said that it was written by a ten-year-old boy, wouldn't it be a little exaggerated and too irresponsible?
Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly thought of something. The newspaper company was currently lacking excellent manuscripts. Why should he care who submitted the manuscript? Furthermore, his daughter Sona was there to personally check on the situation. President Mallorca was actually very confident in his daughter's ability.
"In that case, Nana, I'll leave the follow-up draft of this newcomer to you. Oh right, how did he calculate the price?”When President Mallorca received this draft, he couldn't help but take a sip of his tea in comfort.
"It's not very high. 5000 Bailey for a thousand words.”
"Oh, that's indeed not very high, only five thousand words…Pfft!”President Mallorca did not react at first. He picked up the teacup and continued to sip it. However, before he could swallow it, he suddenly thought of something and spat out the tea. He said in disbelief,"Nana, why did you give her such a high price? Did I say something wrong? Newcomers usually only paid 500-1000 Bailey for 1000 words, and 5000 Bailey for 1000 words was already considered a top-notch author! Although this manuscript is good, we don't know the market for it. Isn't the cost a little high?”
President Mallorca's voice was already a little worried as he spoke.
Sona's voice was silent for a moment, as if she was thinking. However, she soon spoke again, and it was filled with determination."Father! We have no other choice! You should know the current situation of the newspaper company. Chambord's newspaper company is suppressing the people who have no good articles or talented people! Even this manuscript was stolen from Chambord's newspaper!”
"If we don't offer a high price now, we really won't be able to rope them in!" Sona sighed softly. This is a critical time, and we can only use extreme measures to deal with it!”
"Dad, I hope you can consider it carefully!”
President Mallorca fell silent.
After a long time, he slowly said,"Sona, you've grown up." I was the one who single-handedly brought the news agency to this state. Maybe it was my mistake. Now, I'll listen to you! Then sign this manuscript at the price of 5000 Bailey for 1,000 words!”
"However, you should stay in Donghai for the time being. Just treat it as contacting this expensive author!”
"Alright! Father!" On the other end, Sona did not think too much and happily agreed.
"In addition, Dad, I'll tell you another piece of news that might be very explosive, but I don't know if it's true or not yet!”
"What?"
"New World Moonlight Moria and Kaido battle, Moonlight Moria lost!”
"What?!" This voice was completely different from the puzzled voice from before. It was filled with excitement.
After getting Sona's affirmation and hanging up the phone, he couldn't help but stand up and open the office door.
Looking at the distressed employees outside the door looking at him in shock, his face was full of joy."Everyone, we already have an excellent script and breaking news! Next, let's get into action!”
