Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 131 Betting (

Kosnovic would not let Kevin dismiss the articles he recommended so easily. After all, the articles he selected had not been dismissed by the editor-in-chief for so many years. In other words, if Kevin really withdraws one of his articles today, it would be a great insult to him.

"Kevin, do you know who wrote the article "About Ideals"? And do you know how many subscriptions will be affected if his article is removed?" Kosnovic said.

"Oh, I really forgot to read the author's name. Augustine? This article turned out to be written by Augustine." Kevin read after tearing apart the sealed paper in the author's information column.

"Yes, it was written by Augustine. You and he are classmates. You should know that Augustine is a regular guest author of "Youth". He has also accumulated a certain number of fans in "Youth". Although these fans are outside of you It’s not worth mentioning in terms of big sales. But they are part of our University of Edinburgh.” Kosnovic said triumphantly.

Yes, Augustine has been publishing articles in the school magazine "Youth" these years, and no one will doubt his writing too much. Therefore, every time he submits a manuscript, there will be no word "rejection" for him.

Due to the rules of this parallel world, Kevin didn't notice the author's name when he reviewed the manuscript. Now seeing that it belonged to Augustine, he was also slightly surprised. Because he never thought that one day he would review Augustine’s articles, not to mention that now he would have the “power of life and death” over Augustine’s articles.

"Mr. Kosnovich, I don't think so. Anyway, we can't choose this article because of it. Of course, if you really value this article. I can publish it. But , not this issue, but to find the right time. After all, relatively speaking, "People Should Live in an Ideal State" is much better than it. We should select manuscripts with a fair mind, shouldn't we?" Kai Wen continued.

"I know that you and Augustine have some personal matters, but you can't make such a decision because of personal matters. You must know that this will greatly reduce the sales of "Youth". As an editor-in-chief, you should wholeheartedly Responsible for "Youth."

Since Principal Harden invited Kevin to be the editor-in-chief. Kosnovic has been in a bad mood. Now hearing that Kevin is going to cut out the article he chose, it is even more irritated.

"You are wrong. Augustine and I have nothing unpleasant. The reason why I chose not to accept the article "About Ideals" has nothing to do with him. It is because I am responsible for "Youth" .That's why this decision was made. Mr. Kosnovic. So, I'm really sorry."

Although Kevin is the editor-in-chief for the first day, he will not be intimidated by the other party's momentum. Besides, the reason why he did not choose Augustine's article was not at all due to personal reasons. But Augustus' articles are too old-fashioned,

It's not suitable for the current "Youth" at all.

A big reason why Kevin Jue's "Youth" is so unpopular now is that it is still lingering in old ideas. This does not meet the literary standards of the new era. It wants to get more praise, or publish something new is the right way.

Kosnovic obviously still can't accept that Kevin wants to return the article he valued, but Kevin is now the editor-in-chief, and if the other party really wants to do this, he seems unable to resist.

Therefore, he could only say in a slightly "threatening" tone: "Kevin, I can tell you that maybe after you take down Augustine's article, "Youth" will lose many readers in Edinburgh."

"Well, dear Mr. Kosnovic. I can bet you that if the articles in this issue of "Youth" are selected according to my point of view, the sales volume will be much better than the previous ones, and it will gain even more There are many approving voices. If not, I can submit my resignation to Principal Harden at any time. What do you think?" Kevin said, patting his chest.

"You actually made such a promise, then I have nothing to say. Young man, you will know when the time comes."

After speaking, Kosnovic left angrily.

After Kosnovic returned to his position, his mood began to calm down slowly. What he was thinking was: Kevin insisted on his point of view, so let him persist. Anyway, he has already promised, if this issue of "Youth" is not as good as the previous ones. He resigned automatically. I'd like to see how capable you, a brat, are.

After Kosnovic left, Kevin insisted on his point of view and discarded the article "About Ideal".

So, the bet about Kevin and Kosnovic quickly spread in the office. Many people are talking behind their backs. Especially those who are close to Kosnovi, they all feel that Kevin's decision should not be made.

"Although Kevin is very talented in writing books, he still has little experience in editing. Maybe Kosnovi knows which manuscripts are suitable for "Youth"."

"Yeah, I also think Kevin shouldn't insist on removing Kosnovic's manuscript. After all, Kosnovic's vision is fine. Over the years, the quality of the manuscripts he has selected is also very good."

"But Kevin dared to bet. This matter is fair. But this young man is too arrogant. Maybe Kosnovic really won? You must know that Kosnovic is very interested in the market for books and newspapers. understanding."

"Actually, Kosnovic's thoughts are also right. After all, Augustine is a frequent guest author of "Youth". Even if his writing is mediocre, he should be given the opportunity to publish it for this sake. Besides, I also read that article today. Yes. Although it is not very exciting, it has indeed met the requirements for publication."

"No need to guess, I think Kevin should lose this bet. Because Kosnovic is a professional old editor, he knows more about the recruitment of text than Kevin."

Principal Harden also heard the news of the bet. He originally wanted to talk to Kevin and Kosnovic in person. After all, when Kosnovic approached him for an argument that day, he already had a premonition that the other party was very dissatisfied with his arrangement of Kevin as the editor-in-chief.

But Principal Harden thought about it carefully and decided to forget it. Perhaps after this bet, both parties are willing to be convinced.

So, Principal Harden, like everyone else, was looking forward to what the bet would turn out in the end. (To be continued.)
