In the early morning, after completing his writing task again, Goethe stretched and stood up.
Picking up the manuscript he had just completed, Goethe scanned it quickly, and after confirming that he had not found any typos, he took the manuscript and walked downstairs - just because he couldn't find it, it didn't mean that others couldn't find it. After learning that Maria was literate,
Goethe gave the task of second proofreading to his maid.
The manservant still followed Goethe dutifully.
It was only after confirming that Goethe had not given any instructions that he returned to his room to rest.
Omelette, toast, salad, milk.
There is another bowl...
Soup.
Dark and sticky, full of herbal flavor.
This is Maria’s special ‘blood-tonifying soup’.
After he returned to No. 11 Kimmel Street three mornings ago, the major newspapers in Hessettins directly printed a copy of what happened at the 'Summer Club'.
At the same time, he also wrote about the things that happened before that were not afraid of blackmail and resisted bravely.
In short, Goethe's goal was achieved.
One incident after another made him a favorite in Hesetins.
In this day and age, what is easier to gain fame than publishing in newspapers?
Naturally, it was published continuously!
Especially when there is a contrast in the continuous reports, Goethe is destined to attract more people's attention!
Of course, Goethe tried his best not to be annoying!
That’s why he chose the ‘Summer Club’.
instead of...
bank.
Although the reputation column did not indicate whether it was positive or negative, in order to be able to contact the 'transcendent' more smoothly and safely, Goethe chose the positive one - in fact, when he saw the reputation column, Goethe had thought about it.
I did a few big things, but finally chose to give up.
First, it violated his bottom line as a human being.
Secondly, if there is an organization similar to the 'Secret Keeper' in the 'Secret Realm' in front of him, there is a high probability that he will not survive.
Relying on the preliminary foreshadowing, Goethe's actions have been within Goethe's expectations so far, including some newspapers pointing out that it was difficult for him to abandon the bad habits of aristocrats and so on.
Regarding these accusations, Goethe, who had experienced the influence of some media in his hometown, was not angry at all, but was rather surprised.
But he knows that when it comes to 'heat', you're not afraid of people criticizing you, but you're afraid that no one will pay attention to you.
Therefore, he planned to discuss with his editor how to "gentlely" rebut those accusations.
It is best to let the other person hold on to you for more than ten days in a row.
Of course, not everything developed as Goethe expected.
For example……
Maria’s ‘blood-tonifying soup’.
Bitter, hard to swallow, and makes food lose its original taste.
In particular, Maria would prepare a bowl like this for three meals a day.
"Maria, I am healed!"
After Goethe pinched his nose and drank the so-called 'blood-tonifying soup', he reiterated again.
"Okay, Master."
The maid sitting opposite Goethe was concentrating on proofreading the manuscript. She almost subconsciously answered Goethe's words.
There is no doubt that if there is lunch, the ‘blood-tonifying soup’ will still appear.
"Maybe we can go out for lunch?"
Goethe thought.
Maria, on the other hand, spent half an hour reading the manuscript word for word.
"The master has a total of 17 typos, mainly in the way Mr. Holmes addressed several prisoners. It should be 'him', not 'it'..."
After Maria pointed out the errors and omissions in detail, she picked up the pen and started to delete it.
After Maria helped Goethe proofread the manuscript, she obtained the right to delete it.
When the revisions were completed, Maria handed the manuscript to Goethe.
"Please check again."
"besides……"
"This is an invitation from the neighbors. Among them, Mrs. Wood is a well-known person on Kimmel Street. Her afternoon tea and banquet are very much anticipated - her husband, Mr. Wood, owns two textile shops.
factory, a sugar refinery, and a fleet of transport vehicles.”
The maid took out a pile of invitations and said seriously.
"Well, how long is Mrs. Wood's invitation?"
Goethe asked.
"It starts at six o'clock this weekend."
"Okay, I will participate."
Goethe nodded.
Since you live on Kimmel Street as Poirot Marple, you must participate in some activities. Only in this way can you truly integrate into this environment.
Goethe knew this very well.
"I will reply to Mrs. Wood's maid."
"Since you chose to attend the banquet, you should choose a small gift."
"According to the standards of previous banquets, the value is about 20-30 yuan."
"Do you need me to prepare it for you?"
Maria is obviously a competent maid, and it can be said that she has fulfilled all these aspects.
Naturally, Goethe would not refuse this.
However, this did not make Goethe give up the idea of going out to eat.
"I have to go to the newspaper office. There are some things I need to communicate with the editor."
"I won't be back for lunch at noon."
"At night..."
"There is a high probability that I will not come back for dinner."
Goethe said, picked up the manuscript and coat and walked outside.
"Rick, go to the Hessettins Daily Press."
After boarding the carriage, Goethe gave the order directly.
"Okay, sir."
The driver shook the reins and the carriage immediately started moving.
Meeting the editor is naturally pleasant, and no editor dislikes authors who submit manuscripts early.
Therefore, Goethe did not refuse Goethe's request for gentle communication with those who accused him.
"In fact, even if you don't say anything, Poirot, we will still communicate with those guys."
"Your "Into the Wild" is now very popular, with a unique writing style and content that has never appeared before - you know, before you, for a long time, most of the adventure content was about stealing cattle from farms, and
The best thing about fighting between thieves and robbers is just some skill in hiding the cow!"
"Now that your novel has appeared, it has completely created a new genre!"
"The witcher Sherlock Holmes and his guide Dr. Watson are simply fantastic!"
Editor ‘Merry’ said this.
"In other words, those guys came with malicious intentions?"
Goethe keenly discovered the hidden meaning of Merry's words.
"certainly!"
"Jealousy is the original sin!"
Meri nodded firmly.
"Is that so?"
"Sorry to trouble you, if there are any results, please inform me!"
Goethe said goodbye to his editor.
This situation was still within Goethe's expectation.
As Mery said, jealousy is the original sin.
I just hope those guys follow the rules and don't go out of their way.
otherwise……
He will choose to solve the problem in his own way.
Then, Goethe shook his head and threw these annoying things out of his mind. There was only one thing left in his mind: a hearty lunch without 'blood soup'.
"Rick, go to the best-rated restaurant in the neighborhood."
"Okay, sir."
The carriage moved forward again.
We reached our destination quickly.
After inviting Rick but being politely rejected by him, Goethe didn't stop and trotted over happily, pushed open the door of the restaurant, and walked straight in.
