Walking into the publishing house is a spacious and bright lobby, the whole lobby is marble floor, an area of more than 1,500 square meters, there are rest areas on the left and right sides, used to rest for visitors, and on the walls of these rest areas, there are also hanging honorary certificates, trophies and other items won by the publishing house.

At the same time, there are large wooden bookshelves in the rest area on both sides, which are filled with various types of best-selling books published by the publishing house.

It can be seen that the California publishing house is still very profound.

Because Kim Hyun-tae only glanced at it cursoly, he roughly calculated the books on the shelves on both sides, adding up to at least a thousand volumes.

You know, the books on the shelves are all books that have sold well since they were published by the publishing house.

A thousand books that sell big, that's not a small number.

Obviously, these books have definitely brought great rewards to the publishing house, as well as honors, and have also added highlights to the history of the publishing house.

This is also a way for publishing houses to show their heritage and strength to the outside world.

At the same time, on the front of the lobby, there are also personal photos of some famous editors, as well as photos of the authors of the novel, which have been sorted out by the publishing house into a Hall of Fame and hung on it.

A cursory look shows that just well-known writers have more than 100 photos hanging on the wall, which is obviously equivalent to telling everyone that these more than 100 writers are from the publishing house.

And those edited photos are also equivalent to telling everyone that there are many elites in publishing houses, and they are all very discerning.

This kind of display is clear, generous, and clear.

After Kim Hyun-tae read it, he was a lot more relieved about the publishing house, after all, the publishing house is regular, and it is also good for him, isn't it?

Retracting his gaze from these places, he walked to the front desk with his daughter in his arms, and Kim Hyun Tae reported his name to the blonde girl at the front desk, and at the same time informed the other party that he had made an appointment with the boss Dale.

"Hello, I'm William King, and I made an appointment with Mr. Dale yesterday to meet today to discuss the publication of the novel, I wonder if Mr. Dale has time now?"

William Kim, the unscrupulous alien elementary school student, gave Kim Hyun-tae the name of an American citizen in this time and space, which is very earthy and popular, and even his social welfare card is also this name, which Kim Hyun-tae complained about, but he had to accept it.

As for the daughter's name, it is coco gold, which is still very earthy and popular.

Perhaps, this is also related to the fact that there are not many alien elementary school students about the Chinese culture on the earth, in short, Kim Hyun Tae is powerless about this, and can only accept the reality.

Hearing this, the blonde girl at the front desk quickly flipped through the notepad in front of her, and after confirming it, she raised her head and looked at the young Asian boy in front of her with blue eyes.

Yes, in her eyes, Kim Hyun-tae is just a boy.

"Mr. Jin, the boss has already explained, if you arrive, you can go directly to the office to find him, take the elevator to the fifth floor, the third office on the left. ”

In the morning, Dale personally explained that there was no one to see today, everything was put down, as long as an Asian man named William King came to him, then the people at the front desk would let the young man come directly to the office to meet him.

The blonde girl at the front desk was very curious about this, she didn't understand what kind of identity this Asian boy who looked very delicate, one meter and eight heads, and his appearance was handsome even from the perspective of Europeans and Americans.

Of course, curiosity is curiosity, the blonde girl still has a certain professional ethics, and she didn't ask Kim Hyun Tae about anything here because she was too curious.

After all, I've been working for some years, so the blonde girl also understands a truth, that is, some things are better not to be too curious.

Curiosity, sometimes even cats can kill you.

"Thank you. ”

Saying 'thank you' very politely, Kim Hyun-tae turned around and left the front desk and walked to the side of the elevator, pressed the 'up' button, and then waited patiently for the elevator.

"This boy looks like he should be underage, why is he still holding a baby? Could it be that he is working as a nanny to take care of the child?"

After Kim Hyun Tae left with her daughter in her arms, the blonde woman couldn't help but gossip a little, after all, a boy holding a baby is still very curious, isn't it.

Of course, the blonde girl paper didn't think about it for the time being, and that baby was the biological daughter of the Asian boy Kim Hyun-tae.

Oh!

Oh my!

Underage single father, such an identity, even in the open United States, is very exciting to say.

The hateful thing is that Kim Hyun Tae really can't explain anything about this, after all, after he was forced to resurrect by an alien elementary school student, he entered the space-time tunnel, and was affected by the mysterious energy in the space-time tunnel, and became a 16-year-old young man with the appearance of a young man.

In addition, when the unscrupulous alien elementary school student gave him an American identity at this time, he also forged a series of 16-year-old life history, especially faking that he was a single father.

Ding dong!

The elevator door opened, Kim Hyun-tae walked in with his daughter in his arms, and then pressed the button that went straight to the fifth floor, and then the elevator door slowly closed.

At the moment when the elevator door closed, Kim Hyun Tae saw the flickering look full of inquiry and gossip in the eyes of the blonde girl at the front desk, which made Kim Hyun Tae tremble in his heart.

it!

What kind of eyes are they, as if they are looking at a cherished animal, and I'm not a monster, as for looking at me with such eyes.

After complaining in his heart, Kim Hyun Tae took a deep breath before leaving this annoying emotion behind.

Anyway, he and the blonde girl are not familiar with each other, and there is no possibility of any intersection in the future, so just forget about this little episode.

It's just that I'm uncomfortable with that look, and it's not a big deal.

Women, most of them are gossipy.

I'm interested in seeing myself holding a baby, so I'm curious.

Kim Hyun-tae stood in the elevator and guessed a little, but he really guessed a seven, seven, eight or eight.

There was another 'ding dong' sound, the elevator arrived on the fifth floor, the elevator door slowly opened, and then Kim Hyun Tae left the elevator and came to the corridor on the fifth floor, slightly discerning the direction, and walked to the left.

According to the location given by the blonde girl at the front desk, the third office in the left corridor is Dell's office.

The entire fifth floor, on the right side is an open office environment, in which there are seven or eight desks, each desk is full of layers of paper documents, seven or eight men and women of different ages, are looking down and reading those paper documents very carefully, no one looks up at Kim Hyun Tae.

And Kim Hyun-tae has no intention of disturbing these dedicated people.

Anyway, the blonde girl at the front desk had already told him where Dale was, so why bother others.

The first room in the corridor on the left is separated by several large glasses, and it is obvious that this is supposed to be the meeting room.

The second room, which looks a bit like a storage room.

Finally, there is the largest room in the area, and it is also Kim Hyun-tae's destination, the office of the publishing house owner Dale.

Coming to the door of the office, Kim Hyun Tae knocked lightly on the door, and soon a woman about thirty years old, wearing a women's professional suit, with light blonde hair, opened the office door and looked at Kim Hyun Tae with a puzzled look, because she found Kim Hyun Tae very unfamiliar.

"My name is William King, and I have made an appointment with Mr. Dave, and the lady at the front desk below told me that I could come up directly to Mr. Dave. ”

Without waiting for the woman to ask, Kim Hyun Tae told his intentions and told the woman that he had an appointment with Mr. Dave first, after all, Kim Hyun Tae found that there was a deep sense of vigilance in the woman's gaze.

After a preliminary look, the woman's appearance is not very good, and she is not too young, at least thirty years old, and she is dressed very decently, not so fancy.

Kim Hyun-tae pondered for a moment and estimated that this woman should be a secretary.

After hearing Kim Hyun-tae's self-report, the guarded look on the woman's face faded, and her expression softened, and she said to Kim Hyun-tae at the same time.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Dave was answering a very important phone call just now, so the office door was closed. The woman obviously knew such a person as William King, so she had a very good attitude. "I'm Lola, Mr. Dave's secretary. ”

Sure enough, Kim Hyun-tae's judgment was right, this woman was Dale's secretary.

While talking, this secretary named Lola brought Kim Hyun Tae to the door.

"Is Mr. Dave busy right now? If that's the case, I'll just wait outside, I don't want to disturb Mr. Dave's business. ”

Kim Hyun Tae didn't move, but looked at Lola a little apologetically, and asked in a low voice.

After all, he has the soul of a middle-aged person, and there are some words and things, but Kim Hyun Tae still understands how to say it and how to do it.

Lola smiled when she heard this: "Don't worry, Mr. Dale has already commanded that Mr. Jin's matter today is the most important." Besides, Mr. Dave had already hung up on that important call. ”

Since this is the case, Kim Hyun-tae is not polite, and walks into the office at the moment.

The office was a suite, with Lola's secretary on the outside, with a large desk with a printer on the desk, a telephone and a picture frame on the side, and filing cabinets and fax machines in the corners.

Not far from Lola's desk was Dave's office, which was located in the room inside the suite.

"Mr. Dave, Mr. William King has arrived. ”

Lola came to the door of Dave's office and stood on the edge of the door, and then a very loud man's voice was heard.

"Oh, is it Mr. William King, hahaha, I've been waiting for you for a while. ”

Before the words fell, a middle-aged man in a black suit, with a Mediterranean hairstyle, a hooked nose and triangular eyes, quickly got up from behind the desk where he was and greeted him, and before Kim Hyun-tae could enter the office, he had already arrived at the door.

Is this Dave?

For this guy's appearance, it's really enough for Kim Hyun Tae to drink a pot.

However, people can't be good-looking, and now that Kim Hyun-tae's novel is published, he still needs some support from the other party.

Therefore, Kim Hyun Tae did not react much in this regard, but stretched out his right hand and shook it tightly with the right hand stretched out by the other party.

"Mr. Dave, I'm William King, author of A Song of Ice and Fire. ”

reported his name again, and at the same time said the name of his pirated novel, Kim Hyun Tae's face flashed a rare flush, which was caused by a trace of shyness caused by his copycat novel.

"Come in, let's talk. Dave greeted Kim Hyun Tae warmly, and at the same time turned his head and instructed his secretary Lola: "A cup of coffee, no sugar." "I don't know ...... Mr. Jin" "The coffee is ready." In the face of Dave's inquiry, Kim Hyun-tae had no pretentiousness to drink tea.

Lola, the secretary, nodded, then turned to get ready.

Kim Hyun-tae walked into his office with Dave leading him.

After walking into Dave's office, Kim Hyun Tae habitually took a quick look at the furnishings inside......
