Ennie was also curious about what Kevin said, and continued to ask, "Oh, what kind of book is it?" "It's a book about love," Kevin explained. "The title is 'Jane Eyre'. The protagonist in the story is petite and plain-looking, without wealth or status, but possesses an extraordinary temperament and a rich emotional world. Through the trials of life, she sheds the inherent fragility and delicacy of women, gradually developing a strong and independent personality. She bravely pursues her own love and the beautiful life she desires." Kevin patiently narrated the story of "Jane Eyre".
Ennie, the editor, listened to Kevin's introduction, becoming increasingly curious about this book, eager to take a look at it right now.
"Oh, that sounds pretty good. It hasn't been published yet, so all the rights are in your hands. May I have a look? You know, my status can determine whether a book can be published," Ennie said.
"Of course, and I can assure you. If you are willing to publish 'Jane Eyre', you will definitely reap great rewards. 'Jane Eyre' will not disappoint you." Kevin's words were filled with confidence.The divorced woman, who had been divorced for many years, almost felt a little bit of heart palpitations. Unfortunately, there was too much of an age difference. Otherwise, Ennie would definitely have been deeply impressed by those talented and confident men.
"However, I didn't bring the manuscript with me. You can take mydisk back, everything is in there." Kevin finished speaking, took out a delicatedisk from his pocket, and handed it to Editor Ennie.
Ennie picked up the USB drive with her delicate hands that Kevin handed to her, and said, "Alright, I will read it as soon as possible. I will get back to you then. However, I believe in your writing skills. Anyone who can write poetry like 'The Rose of Love' is definitely a literary genius."
Having reviewed manuscripts for so many years, Ennie was very clear about whether an author had potential or not. This was also why she believed that Kevin's literary skills wouldn't be too bad.
"That would be Ennie's job, perhaps you will become a benefactor for life," Kevin said humorously.
"I hope so. Oh, you have to participate in the semi-finals tomorrow, I think we should part ways here," Ennie said.
"Alright, thank you for inviting me tonight, I am fortunate in this life."
After Ennie, the editor, returned home from the teahouse, she quickly turned on the computer and immediately plugged Kevin's USB drive in, eagerly opening the contents of "Jane Eyre."
"Jane Eyre," will it depict a girl that Kevin likes? I'd like to see that," Ennie muttered to herself.
And so, a woman in her thirties, dressed in a semi-transparent nightgown, stared intently at the words on the computer screen in the deep of the night.
Those fluctuating storylines deeply attracted her, the romantic death sentences made her yearn one by one, and the classic paragraphs couldn't help but make her admire the author's writing skills.
Although she hadn't finished reading it completely, as a seasoned editor, having read nearly a hundred thousand words, she already had a premonition of what was to come.
Yes, this one is definitely unprecedented in British literature in the past twenty years. It's so great, great like the protagonist in "Jane Eyre."
"You think just because I'm poor, humble, and not beautiful, I have no heart, no soul? I have a soul just like you, and a heart just the same. If God had also given me beauty and wealth, I would make it hard for you to leave me, just like it's hard for me to leave you now!"
Ennie couldn't calm her heart after reading this sentence. She recalled Kevin's youthful face and those tender years.
"Incredible, such writing actually comes from a young person's hand. Congratulations, my great nation of England, you will welcome a great genius writer."
Ennie now had a definite answer: she must sign the contract for "Jane Eyre." In recent years, the London literary publishing house had not yet published a best-selling book, perhaps this was a very good opportunity.
Ennie believes that the content of "Jane Eyre" will definitely resonate with many people, after all, everyone has been repressed for too long, everyone longs for love and to be loved, yearning to pursue their own beautiful life. And all of this, "Jane Eyre" depicts it vividly.
That night, Ennie stayed up all night. She was crazily watching "Jane Eyre," wishing she could finish all its plots in one night. However, she also knew that for such a classic work, she would definitely watch it a second time, a third time, or even more.
If it weren't late at night, she would probably not hesitate to call Kevin, ask him to come over, and immediately sign the publishing contract for "Jane Eyre." Or perhaps she would personally ask him how he could write such a detailed and wonderful story.
"I can't believe it, someone actually threw such a wonderful thing into the trash." Ennie remembered Kevin's words and couldn't help but sigh.
So, Ennie posted the following on her Twitter: "What a great girl, what a great work, what a great writer."
Twitter was first invented by Americans and popularized as a social platform worldwide, similar to Weibo in China, where the British generally enjoy using it.
Ennie, as a senior editor, naturally has many friends and fans in the literary world, so her Twitter followers have also reached several tens of thousands.
When this tweet was posted, even though it was already past midnight, there were still fans and friends leaving comments below the tweet
"Teacher Ennie, have you discovered another great work? I'm so looking forward to it!"
"Report, Ennie must have found a masterpiece of the ages. Otherwise, she wouldn't have exclaimed like that."
"The first floor is a fool, and Teacher Ennie may have also seen the works of the great literary figure Shakespeare, and then exclaimed."
"Third floor, you are the real fool, your whole family are fools, your ancestors for generations are fools. Ennie has long admired the greatness of Shakespeare's works, at this moment, what she said must refer to someone else."
And so, for a moment, the fans on Ennie's Twitter began to speculate about who the great work and great writer she mentioned could be.
But Ennie couldn't see any of this at the moment, as she was deeply immersed in the story of "Jane Eyre," following Piggy's footsteps step by step.
Kevin, back at the hotel, took a shower and then hid in his room watching TV. It wasn't that he didn't like going out shopping, but he didn't have much money on him. Although he believed that once his book was published, everything would change. But that was all in the future, for now, he was as poor as ever.Many players were frantically preparing for tomorrow's rematch in the room. Kevin, however, didn't take it seriously at all and continued watching his TV. This book has been signed, so feel free to collect it. Thank you.
