"No," Wang Jian pressed a hand to his temple, muttering to himself, "Give me a moment... just give me a moment."
After a short while, he lifted his head, his face filled with disbelief, and looked towards Tom and the young editor behind him.
"Did you really send Mr. Stephen King's work back for a rewrite?"
The young editor glanced at the serious-faced CEO and general manager, swallowed hard, and slowly nodded.
"And in the response email, you attached a 'novice writing guide'?" Wang Jian felt his own voice trembling.
The young editor whispered a quiet "Mm-hmm," his face looking ashen.
Holy shit!!!
Wang Jian didn't know what to say at the moment.
His entire mindset was just completely collapsing.
Since the 1975 publication of "The End of the World" solidified Stephen King's status in the world literary arena, which publishing house had ever rejected manuscripts from this titan?
