Chapter 21 Bail
…
“Who is this…?”
Li Chengjun’s eyes focused on Guo Shouyun who was walking behind.
“This is the Guo Shouyun I mentioned to you on the phone. Chinese-American, with a master’s degree in computer science from Stanford University, a bachelor’s degree in economics and history, a super scholar who got three degrees at the age of nineteen; now he is starting his own business in Silicon Valley. , Niu X?!” Chen Zhen hugged Guo Shouyun’s shoulder, showing off and admiring him.
Looking at Guo Shouyun’s youthful face, Li Chengjun’s pupils shrank, and at the same time he stretched out his right hand.
“It’s an honor to meet such a genius as Mr. Guo!”
Li Chengjun thought that Guo Shouyun was Chinese and could not speak Chinese, so he used English. Moreover, his spoken English is very good, very authentic London accent.
After briefly shaking hands with the other party, Guo Shouyun smiled in his standard Mandarin: “You’re welcome! I’m not a genius, I just work harder than ordinary people!”
After reading a lot of chicken soup articles in later generations, Guo Shouyun is also a little poisoned now. Coupled with the short rebirth time, many of his previous life habits have not changed.
But I have to say, it’s pretty decent.
“I didn’t expect Mr. Guo to speak Mandarin so well!”
This is really beyond Li Chengjun’s expectations.
“You two, you must pay a bail of 5,000 pounds each. Moreover, you are not allowed to leave London for half a month, keep your mobile phone switched on, and be summoned by the police at any time. In addition, if your previous testimony is true, you can Prosecute those who beat you!”
After letting the three of them communicate briefly, the police next to him started talking.
“Is there a problem? If there is no problem, sign here and you can go!”
“I lost my phone, it will take time to re-apply!” Guo Shouyun nodded and said.
The police looked at Guo Shouyun’s previous transcript.
“Are you staying at the Waldorf Astoria Hilton now?”
“Yes!”
“We’ll call the hotel customer service and ask them to communicate on their behalf!”
“Then I’m fine!”
“I’m fine!”
Chen Zhen shook his head.
“Please sign here!”
After the two nodded, signed their names respectively, and after paying the bail, they left the police station together.
“Old Guo, let’s go!”
“No, the Waldorf Astoria where I live is in two directions from Oxford. I’d better take a taxi back! And you are more seriously injured than me, so you should go back to rest early!” Guo Shouyun shook his head and refused.
“Alright then!” After hesitating for a while, Chen Zhen nodded, “Remember to contact me!”
“Um!”
After watching Chen Zhen leave, Guo Shouyun left the police station, stopped a taxi and returned to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. After a whole night of tossing and bruising, Guo Shouyun, who was already tired, didn’t even take a shower, so he fell asleep early.
When I woke up the next day, because my physical fitness was good and I was young, most of the pain on my body had disappeared. But the wounds on the forehead and arms take time to heal. He had planned to visit Buckingham Palace and the famous Westminster Abbey today. But looking at his current appearance, let’s forget it.
Called room service after breakfast. I opened my notebook, checked my mailbox, and after replying to the email from the company, I sat in a chair and started writing my novel.
In his previous life, he was used to this kind of work, and he didn’t feel anything. But in the afternoon, there was a knock on his door unexpectedly.
“Christopher? Why are you here?”
Looking at Christopher Ritter who appeared outside the door, Guo Shouyun was surprised.
“You can’t get through on the phone, so I can only come here in person! But what’s wrong with your face?”
“Last night, I saw ‘a hooligan harassing a young girl, I’m doing my best to be righteous’!” Maybe it was a habit, Guo Shouyun said something famous on the Internet, but looking at Christopher’s confused face, he changed the subject with a smile. .
“Why, have you read all my books?”
When it comes to books, Christopher Ritter’s attention turns to the things he cares most about.
“It’s over. Pirates of the Caribbean and Fantastic Beasts Are There are excellent!” After a pause, his excited expression suddenly became tangled, “But was it really you who wrote Fifty Shades of Grey?”
After letting him into the room and closing the door, Guo Shouyun nodded.
“Any questions?”
“Bruce, seriously. “Fifty Shades of Grey” is far worse in literary value and storytelling than “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”. Once published, those critical book reviewers will definitely spare no effort to blame you !” Christopher Ritter said after considering the language.
After listening, Guo Shouyun nodded unexpectedly. Literati are light, and it is the same in any country. Moreover, the SM novel “Fifty Shades of Grey” is indeed too straightforward.
“I understand, but I’m still young. Young people occasionally make mistakes and their state fluctuates. Isn’t it normal?” Guo Shouyun poured a glass of mineral water and handed it to Christopher.
After saying thank you, I took it and took a sip.
“For the publication of “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”, I will ask Rowling and some well-known publishers to do the preface, but I am afraid no one will want to “Fifty Shades of Grey”!”
A celebrity preface can increase the popularity and sales of the book, and the effect is similar to advertising. Guo Shouyun is not surprised.
“Forget about Fifty Shades of Grey! Just let the publisher publish it!”
In fact, among the three sets of books, Guo Shouyun is most confident in “Fifty Shades of Grey”. This once sold a set in 2 seconds. In less than two years, more than 100 million copies were published worldwide, exceeding the sum of the “Harry Potter” series. The profit of Random House, the world’s largest publisher, jumped directly in 2012. 76% of the super best sellers.
“I understand!” After nodding, Christopher Ritter took out the manuscript of the book that Guo Shouyun left yesterday from his briefcase, “I made some changes after reading these three sets of books. Take a look. , if it is appropriate, make a mark. If it is not appropriate, skip it, or write the revision comments, remember to use a red pen.”
Publishing agents are professionals with profound literary accomplishment and a good sense of the market. In addition to helping authors get better terms from publishers. Proofreading manuscripts and suggesting revisions is also one of the responsibilities of publishing agents.
Guo Shouyun nodded when he looked at the three sets of manuscripts that had obviously been flipped through a lot.
“I’ll read it as soon as possible and give you my opinion!”
“That’s good. I’ll go first, it’s not an easy task to get all three sets published in a week.”
“I send you!”
“Um! … By the way, you can use this phone, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, and return it to me after you finish it!”
Having said that, Christopher took out a Nokia mobile phone from his pocket and handed it to Guo Shouyun.
“What about yourself?”
“I have another one. I use this one at work. If you don’t want to be harassed, it’s best not to answer unfamiliar calls.”
After nodding in understanding, Guo Shouyun, who happened to lack a mobile phone, was not polite. Signed a contract, and Christopher Ritter, his publishing agent, can count on his cronies.
“Bruce! I understand young people are full of energy, but it’s easy to get into trouble with other people’s jealousy. Besides, once these three sets of books are published, you will soon become a cultural celebrity, so pay attention to maintaining a good image of yourself. It’s good to sell.”
Looking at Christopher Ritter, who blinked, teasing and admonishing on his face, Guo Shouyun, who knew he would be wrong, couldn’t help twitching the corners of his mouth.
But he didn’t refute it, and it wasn’t a big deal. Not worth wasting saliva.
“Understood, don’t worry!”
“Then I’ll go first, remember to call me if you have anything!”
“Wait a moment!”
Thinking of something, Guo Shouyun quickly stopped Christopher Ritter who was about to go out, and then quickly ran back to his bedroom, running out with a note in his hand.
“This is my email address. If you can’t get through to the phone in the future, just send me an email!”
“Understood!”
After taking a look, Christopher nodded, turned and left the room.
After watching his back disappear, Guo Shouyun closed the door, picked up Christopher’s revised manuscript, and sat on the sofa in the living room to read it.
