Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“This is a script, but it’s not a theater’s script. It’s a magvie’s script. You’ll find out about it later.” Mag said to her with a smile, “This script will be your work for this month. You need to adapt it into a popular novel.”
“Popular?” Cynthia was already finding the task difficult. “I’ve only written one popular book in my life. As for what it is, you should know it very well.”
Mag’s expression was slightly stiff. Of course, he knew. They wouldn’t have known each other if not for that.
“You just write it like you wrote that book. The script has already provided you with the story’s frawork and plot, you just need to add so details to it.” Mag consoled her. “Don’t be too stressed.”
“Like how I wrote that book?” Cynthia pondered seriously for a while before lowering her head with a blush and softly answering, “I got it.”
Mag flicked a glance at Cynthia surreptitiously and said with concern, “Then, let see the first draft in a week’s ti. I need to control the content.”
“Sure.” Cynthia nodded.
Mag didn’t stay for long. After leaving Cynthia’s house, he went to the city lord’s castle.
Delmar’s assets had been registered and processed in these past few days. That publishing house was the most difficult to process.
This small publishing house had over 10 staff mbers. It didn’t have any outstanding works and its most famous “Boss Mag” series was already sealed, so its value wasn’t high. Till now, there weren’t many people bidding for it.
Mag bought that company with a 1,500,000 copper coins offer.
Anyway, no matter how much he offered, the money would still co back to him. He simply gained a company for nothing.
Dicus helped Mag with the handover procedures and said with a chuckle, “Boss Mag, you have cut the ground from under his feet. I don’t think any company will dare to spread rumors about you for a very long ti.”
“Rumormongers have to ultimately pay the price.” Mag smiled and cupped his hands at Dicus. “Thank you for your hard work.”
“It’s just a small matter. Unscrupulous businessn like him deserved to be punished. It can serve as a warning to other crooks too.” Dicus shook his head with a smile.
“I heard that Cyril has decided not to pay the penalty?” Mag asked.
“Madam Denise personally ca this morning to ask for more ti. She also wished to communicate with Mr. Lev. Seems like she wants to lower the amount.” Dicus shook his head smilingly. “However, Mr. Lev insisted on 30,000,000 copper coins and not a coin less. Seems like he’s adamant on taking a big bite out of the Moreton Family’s wealth.”
“Such a fellow needs to be taught a lesson, otherwise, he won’t rember,” Mag said smilingly. He bade goodbye to Dicus and went to Delmar Publishing House.
The door of Delmar Publishing House was still sealed. When Mag stopped his bicycle, he saw a middle-aged woman sitting on the steps in despair.
Mag recognized this woman. She was Delmar Publishing House’s editor. She was responsible for Cynthia previously.
The female editor heard the noise and looked up at Mag. She seed to recognize Mag and lowered her head in embarrassnt. She pretended not to know him.
Rip!
Mag went forward and tore off the seal on the door.
“W-what are you doing?” The female editor stood up and looked at Mag with surprise.
“I’m the boss of this publishing house now. I can see that you’re sitting here in despair. Are you an employee of this publishing house?” Mag asked her with a smile.
“You’ve beco the boss of this publishing house?!” The female editor was completely stunned. She stared at Mag with disbelief.
“Yes. The boss of the publishing house is bankrupt because of his involvent in contract fraud. The publishing house was being auctioned at the city lord’s castle and I bought it.” Mag nodded and took out the ownership transfer certificate and showed it to the female editor.
“How did this happen...” The female editor was still dumbfounded.
The closing of the publishing house was very sudden. The boss was suddenly arrested, the publishing house was sealed and all the employees were out of a job.
She was still in shock today. She still hadn’t gotten her last month’s pay and she couldn’t find a new job. She happened to wander by today and decided to sit on the doorstep for a mont. She hadn’t expected to bump into Boss Mag.
“Are you this publishing house’s employee? What was your job previously?” Mag asked again.
“I used to be this publishing house’s editor. I’m responsible for getting in touch with the authors and proofreading their work.” The female editor quickly answered, “I am Eleanor.”
Mag asked her, “So, you are an editor. Then, do you know that author called Northwestern Lone Wolf?”
Eleanor’s expression turned awkward imdiately. Her gaze was shifty as she mumbled, “I-I have heard of that author before, but I don’t know her. I don’t know what she looks like, where she lives or what she likes to eat.”
“I see.” Mag nodded and lanted. “I think that author is very talented. Perhaps, you could introduce to her if you know her. You can help send her so knives too.”
Eleanor pretended not to hear him and prepared to leave. It was simply too awkward to bump into Boss Mag.
“Eleanor, I intend to reopen this publishing house again, but I’m not a professional and the publishing house needs people. Are you willing to join my publishing house?” Mag asked Eleanor with a smile.
“Erm?” Eleanor was stunned. She looked up at Mag. “Are you saying that you want to continue working at Delmar Publishing House?”
Mag smilingly answered, “No. It will be an all new Mamy Publishing House.”
Eleanor looked at Mag’s gentle and kind smiley face and nodded without any hesitation. “I’m willing!”
“Very good. Bring around this publishing house first.” Mag pushed open the door. “And introduce to your forr colleagues too.”
“Alright.” Eleanor quickly caught up and brought Mag around the publishing house.
The publishing house’s most valuable asset was this building. It took up 90% in the auction.
The publishing house had built up so works, but they were mostly unknown and the publishing house had barely survived all these years.
However, even though the publishing house was small, it still contained the essentials. This publishing house had all the essential staff mbers and it had the ability to publish a book.
Mag listened to Eleanor’s fairly just introductions of her forr colleagues, so he decided against inviting everyone back.
He didn’t have the plan to publish a lot of works currently. The first piece of work would be “Love of a Succubus”. He didn’t need help for typesetting and printing.
“From today onwards, you will be the company’s deputy chief editor. Your monthly salary will be 6,000 copper coins,” Mag said to Eleanor.
