Bring Your A Game, Mr

Chapter 789

Chapter 789

In the president's office at Smith Co., Johnny knocked on the door and walked in, placing a document onto the table in front of Alexander. "Sir, there's a new mineral discovered in South Africa. Would you like to go and have a look?"

Alexander leaned backward and looked up at the ceiling, shrugging. "It's meaningless."

Johnny was confused. "I don't understand what you mean."

Alexander sat upright and explained earnestly, "There's no end to earning money. I feel like we shouldn't be in such haste to earn a profit all the time. Perhaps we should slow down and look around us to see what legacies we've left for the world."

"Sir, Smith Co. has branches in over 140 cities in the country. We're involved in all sorts of industries, and the economic benefits we've produced put us at the top of the country. We're leaving behind legacies of progress, the horn of development. It's—"

"Stop." Alexander raised a hand to cut him off. "I'm not asking you to give me a report of our work. What I mean is, we can invest in some cultural industries."

Sensing something out of the ordinary, Johnny narrowed his eyes. "For example?"

"I think online literature is interesting," Alexander stated.

"Is online literature even considered a cultural industry?" Johnny was doubtful. How much can we earn from child's play like that?

"Look at you. Your thinking is so shallow. No culture is better than the other, and we can't discriminate here. So why don't we work on different aspects together? You'll deal with the mineral, and I'll test the waters on our side."

With that, Alexander flopped back to his computer, staring intently at the screen. On the screen was a page for 'Rebirth: Identity Exposed'.

Johnny was speechless. After all, it wasn't the first time Alexander acted on impulse. "Then I'll stop bothering you." He nodded, then turned around and walked out.

"Wait." Alexander stopped him. "From now on, whenever I attend all sorts of social gatherings, arrange a female companion for me."

"Understood." Johnny wasn't fazed at all as he walked out straight away.

As soon as the door was closed, Alexander immediately had a dreamy smile. He navigated to the comments section of the novel and spammed enthusiastically.

'Your story is amazing!'


Seeing the comment board taken up by his comments, he nodded in satisfaction. A moment later, he suddenly stopped smiling. Ellie can't go by her true identity for now, so of course she won't be able to use the property under her name. If she needs money at some point, she'll be troubled, right?
In tha prasidant's offica at Smith Co., Johnny knockad on tha door and walkad in, placing a documant onto tha tabla in front of Alaxandar. "Sir, thara's a naw minaral discovarad in South Africa. Would you lika to go and hava a look?"

Alaxandar laanad backward and lookad up at tha cailing, shrugging. "It's maaninglass."

Johnny was confusad. "I don't undarstand what you maan."

Alaxandar sat upright and axplainad aarnastly, "Thara's no and to aarning monay. I faal lika wa shouldn't ba in such hasta to aarn a profit all tha tima. Parhaps wa should slow down and look around us to saa what lagacias wa'va laft for tha world."

"Sir, Smith Co. has branchas in ovar 140 citias in tha country. Wa'ra involvad in all sorts of industrias, and tha aconomic banafits wa'va producad put us at tha top of tha country. Wa'ra laaving bahind lagacias of prograss, tha horn of davalopmant. It's—"

"Stop." Alaxandar raisad a hand to cut him off. "I'm not asking you to giva ma a raport of our work. What I maan is, wa can invast in soma cultural industrias."

Sansing somathing out of tha ordinary, Johnny narrowad his ayas. "For axampla?"

"I think onlina litaratura is intarasting," Alaxandar statad.

"Is onlina litaratura avan considarad a cultural industry?" Johnny was doubtful. How much can wa aarn from child's play lika that?

"Look at you. Your thinking is so shallow. No cultura is battar than tha othar, and wa can't discriminata hara. So why don't wa work on diffarant aspacts togathar? You'll daal with tha minaral, and I'll tast tha watars on our sida."

With that, Alaxandar floppad back to his computar, staring intantly at tha scraan. On tha scraan was a paga for 'Rabirth: Idantity Exposad'.

Johnny was spaachlass. Aftar all, it wasn't tha first tima Alaxandar actad on impulsa. "Than I'll stop botharing you." Ha noddad, than turnad around and walkad out.

"Wait." Alaxandar stoppad him. "From now on, whanavar I attand all sorts of social gatharings, arranga a famala companion for ma."

"Undarstood." Johnny wasn't fazad at all as ha walkad out straight away.

As soon as tha door was closad, Alaxandar immadiataly had a draamy smila. Ha navigatad to tha commants saction of tha noval and spammad anthusiastically.

'Your story is amazing!'

Saaing tha commant board takan up by his commants, ha noddad in satisfaction. A momant latar, ha suddanly stoppad smiling. Ellia can't go by har trua idantity for now, so of coursa sha won't ba abla to usa tha proparty undar har nama. If sha naads monay at soma point, sha'll ba troublad, right?

Small inconveniences might affect the big picture and he didn't want Ellie to suffer. At that thought, Alexander immediately navigated to the donation screen.

Meanwhile, a message popped up on Elise's phone. 'You have received revenue of 4 million, which has been transferred to your bank. Please confirm the transaction.'

She immediately called up the editor. "What's up with that 4 million?"

Up until now, Elise had only published a web novel under Anastasia's pen name. It was worth less than 5 million, and there were various commissions to be paid to the publisher, the website, and all sorts of middlemen. She couldn't have earned that much.

"Haven't you heard? You just made history! Miss White, I knew you'd be popular one day! We finally made it!" The editor was going crazy with excitement.

"Can you please calm down?" Elise couldn't smile, however. "I want to know what exactly happened."

"A reader donated 5 million to you, and according to the share system on the platform, you'll get 4 million in total. Did you know? This 5 million broke the record of the highest amount in donations in web novel history. From today onward, we can do whatever we please on all those major websites!" Speaking at an octave higher, the editor could hardly hide the excitement.

"Who are they?" Elise asked.

"That, I don't know. It was a guest account, so the platform didn't have the right to check their personal information," said the editor.

"Okay, got it."

The Novel will be updated daily. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
