Bring Your A Game, Mr novel Chapter 789

Chapter 789 Choose Your Enemy

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?

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.
