After saying that, Zhong Yi stood up and said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, I borrowed a typewriter from the embassy, ​​saying that it was for writing novels.

Steve wanted to leave with Zhong Yi, but was stopped by Zhong Yi. Instead, Steve stayed in the embassy and even asked Commod to arrange a counselor for him.

Zhong Yi asked Steve to be an agent, not a secretary.

So, Steve doesn't need to follow him all the time.

Moreover, if Steve always followed Zhong Yi, some things would be hard to explain.

Commod had no objection to Zhong Yi’s arrangement, and Steve would not have any objections to it.

However, what the two of them did not expect was that that night, Zhong Yi sent someone to send a manuscript of a novel.

"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone?" Commod weighed the thick stack of manuscripts in his hand and said to Steve, "I didn't expect that our mayor can really write novels."

Steve just shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, and his attention was still focused on the wine glass in his hand.

To put it bluntly, Steve doesn't think that Zhong Yi can really write any wonderful novels, especially as he is a Chinese, the novels he writes are even more unlikely to conform to the aesthetics of Westerners, so he has no expectations at all.

"Okay, okay, let's see what our mayor wrote." Commod quipped, casually flipped the manuscript and read it roughly.

The previous chapters are of average quality and have a little desire to read.

Especially the settings of the Dursleys and their son Dali are simply too old-fashioned. What is the difference between such a setting and Cinderella? Such a joke has long been used by others.

But when Harry hit the wall and entered the nine and three-quarters platform of Kings Cross Railway Station, boarded the 5972 train, and finally arrived at the Hogwarts Magic School, the plot suddenly became exciting.

At the beginning, Commod was talking to Steve all the time, but later, he no longer had the time to chat and devoted himself to the plot of the novel. Before he knew it, Commod was completely attracted by the plot.

Steve told a joke, but he didn't get a response from Commod. When he looked back, he saw Commod was already reading the novel with all his attention and came over curiously.

"Mr., is the novel that good-looking?" Steve said in surprise.

"Very wonderful!" Commod nodded, "It's simply wonderful."

"Is that?" Steve picked up the manuscript that Commod had read and said while reading, "The writing style is indeed good, but the old jokes like the Dursleys are too ordinary and have no new ideas."

"Don't rush to make a conclusion, young man, continue reading." After saying that, Commod handed over a stack of manuscripts that had been read in his hand, and then began to look at the manuscripts that followed, not wanting to wait for half a second.

After a while, Steve was completely immersed in the novel plot.

...

At this time, in the municipal government.

Finance Director Chen Jiming excitedly knocked on the door of Zhong Yi’s office.

"Mayor, the inventory work has been completed!" Chen Jiming said excitedly, "It's all done!"

"Is that true?" Zhong Yi immediately felt energetic and handed the fortress design sketch in his hand to Gong Weiqian, and said, "Let me tell me, how much money is there in total?"

Chen Jiming took out a small notebook, first licked his right index finger with his tongue, then opened the notebook with his right index finger, and recited: "This cleaning operation has eliminated 16 large and small gangs, 61 gambling halls, 107 brothels, and 519 opium opium houses."

Zhong Yi suddenly felt a sudden stern when he heard this.

A small Yinjiang River has a population of less than 300,000, and there are more than 500 opium opium restaurants!

From this we can see how raging the opium had reached during the Republic of China! If we can't stop smoking, will this country and this nation still have hope?

After pausing, Chen Jiming said again: "In addition, this cleaning operation also sealed sixteen mansion villas, including three mansions of former security commander Chen Jinmu."

Three mansions, this is also a search of Chen Jinmu's old house!

This is reasonable, how could it be possible to not investigate Chen Jinmu's old house?

After dipping his fingers, he turned over another page. Chen Jiming continued to recite: "This cleaning operation, the cash collected included 369,709 yuan per cent of fiat currency, 169,100 silver dollars, 1,036 US dollars, 2,517 pounds, 1,36 taels of gold, and 39 large boxes of calligraphy and paintings."

Zhong Yi frowned suddenly, and the gain was still a little different from the number he expected.

The numbers you have gained now are enough to maintain the two-month expenditure of the Yinjiang Municipal Government. It is far from enough to start the construction of the Yinjiang Industrial Park in this way!

Seeing Zhong Yi's face showing disappointment, Chen Jiming whispered: "Mayor, cash is just a small head, and the property collected is the real big head. Sixteen mansions and villas plus more than 600 shops can be sold for one million yuan in the future! And if the prospects for our Yinjiang in the future are better, the prices can be sold higher!"

After hearing this, Zhong Yi's mood improved a little.

...

By late at night, Commod and Steve finally read the entire manuscript.

Steve put down the last page of the manuscript and carefully gathered it together.

Commod let out a long sigh and said, "This is really a wonderful novel!"

"It's true!" Steve said deeply, "I love this little wizard Harry so much!"

Commodor said: "It is completely foreseeable that this Harry Potter will become an unprecedented best-selling novel!"

"Absolutely, there is no doubt about this!" Steve nodded vigorously, and his eyes became warm, because Zhong Yi had said before that he would publish the novel in his name.

In other words, he is about to become the author of this best-selling novel!

Commod said: "Steve, you are such a lucky guy. You met a good employer!"

"This is thanks to the support of the Minister." Steve was so itchy, and said, "How much royalties can you get if you send this book Harry Potter back to the United States for publication?"

Commod said: "That depends on the sales."

After pausing, Commod continued: "The excitement and world view of this novel will never continue. The Hobbit written by Tolkien. Referring to the Hobbit sales, Harry Potter's sales will have to go up 20 million!"
Chapter completed!
