My Prime Minister is so cute

"It seems so?"

Thinking about Sarah's usual fuss, Bird nodded and turned his attention to the daily task he had just completed.

"Lolita".

What the hell is this?

Bird took a look at the reward and frowned.

This novel, which was previously published in the United States, is well-known worldwide. It tells the love story of a middle-aged man and a young girl through the confession of death row prisoner Humbert. It was not even published in the United States at first. After several years, an American version was finally released, and it jumped to the top of the bestseller list.

Although the book is not a serious one, it is also a well-known book and it is estimated that it can be sold for a lot of money.

The problem is that it has nothing to do with pan-magicism and will damage the image of the pen name Bersabia.

Just when Bird was about to choose the experience point reward.

Suddenly I thought of Misabelle, the green-haired girl who was persuaded by me and was planning to transform "Happy Paradise". It seemed that she was lacking such a work.

After all, while "Lolita" is not serious, it does have good artistic quality, and the emotions it depicts are also very delicate, at least much more elegant than "The Nun's Story", and it is just right to serve as the first pillars of the transformation of "Paradise".

So Bird finally thought about it and exchanged it.

But I definitely can't use the pen name Bersabia, so I'll just serialize it anonymously...

Chapter 142 Glasses Mode, Start

Let’s go back a little in time.

After Misabel listened to Bird's advice in the cafe, she seemed to have a sudden enlightenment, her whole spirit was sublimated, and countless ideas emerged in her mind.

So as soon as she returned to the basement of "Happy Paradise", she called all the editors (although there were not many of them) to a meeting.

Before the meeting, Misabel took out a pair of exquisite gold-rimmed glasses from the drawer, reached out and placed them on the bridge of her fair nose, then blinked her eyelids gently. Her emerald green eyes, which had originally appeared a little divergent due to myopia, suddenly became sharp.

At the same time, Misabel's entire demeanor suddenly changed.

The petite girl who originally seemed a little quiet suddenly exuded an aggressive aura.

In fact, Misabelle has always been a little nearsighted, but for comprehensive considerations such as her image and temperament, she rarely wears glasses.

But all the editors of "Happy Paradise" knew that once their boss put on glasses, it meant that she had entered the so-called serious mode and was about to get serious.

So what is the reason that makes the boss take real action?

Several editors showed curiosity on their faces and began to speculate in their hearts.

"I received guidance from an expert today and realized the mistakes I made in the past."

Misabel's eyes swept across the faces of the editors present. "In the past, I was too obsessed with superficiality, only thinking of mindlessly piling up small, imperial articles. I thought I satisfied the tastes of the general public, but in fact it was too superficial and too formal."

"From now on, Happy Paradise will transform!"

The words fell.

The editorial office was silent.

But immediately, an editor who had reacted raised his hand and asked, "Boss, aren't we going to publish *magazine in the future?"

"Of course not. This is my dream. How could I give up?"

Misabel smiled slightly, then said solemnly, "My transformation is to transform Happy Paradise from a sewer rat into a magazine that lives in the sun, with taste, style, and culture!"

"I've printed out the specific plan on paper. Each of you will have a copy. Please read it and make your own suggestions."

As Misabel spoke, she distributed papers to everyone in the editorial department, which contained some of the ideas she had heard from Bird or had come up with herself during her previous conversations with him. Of course, Bird's identity was kept confidential, after all, he had requested this before.

At this time, Wilson, the editor under him, scratched his head and said casually, "Boss, there is no such thing as a master as you said. It's actually Teacher Bersabia, right?"

Misabel: “???”

"How do you know?" She stared at the editor who was always argumentative.

Being stared at by the death gaze, Wilson smiled awkwardly: "Haha, I guessed it. After all, Boss, you said you were going to see Teacher Bersabia today..."

Misabel's mouth twitched, and she resisted the urge to kick this guy out, and said, "Does anyone have any opinions on the transformation plan?"

An editor raised his hand and asked, "Boss, everything else is fine, but this color cover... isn't the price too high?"

Color printing is also possible with the power of magic.

It’s just that different printing methods naturally have different corresponding costs, and the printing price does not increase linearly, but an exponential function...

Black and white text is very cheap, making it the preferred format for most newspapers and magazines. Making money isn't a bad thing. Black and white illustrations, while more expensive, are still affordable. As for color illustrations, even Magic World finds it difficult to afford them, and only publishes one or two color pages occasionally, such as on anniversary occasions...

Even though "Happy Paradise" has had good sales recently, and because it is an underground publication, it basically pays no taxes.

But once you use color pages, you can basically say goodbye to profits.

“It’s certainly expensive, but it’s also the fastest way to stand out from the crowd of magazines.”

Misabel said calmly: "Since we are going to do it, we must do it to the best of our ability."

"Happy Paradise will use a color cover to create a visual experience that is different from all other magazines and is refreshing."

"Think about it. Among all the black-and-white magazines in a bookstore, ours is the only one with a color cover, and it's a picture of a sexy woman. Wouldn't that make you want to buy it right away?"

“As for how to make a profit.”

"It's simple, just sell enough."

"If we can achieve half the scale of Magic World, it should be enough to make a profit."

"Magic World"?!

When they heard the name of this magazine, several editors were shocked and could hardly believe that they would have to compete with such a magazine giant in sales.

Even if they could achieve half the sales of "Magic World", it would be beyond the reach of most regular magazines, not to mention "Happy Paradise", a mature magazine hiding in the sewers. That is something they dare not even think about...

"No confidence?"

Misabelle glanced at the group and noticed that their faces ranged from worry to shock to indifference, but none of them looked full of struggle.

It’s not that I can’t understand it.

After all, transformation is difficult, not to mention that her suggestion is a bit unrealistic.

But fortunately, "Happy Paradise" is basically her one-man show. Unlike the bloated magazines that have been famous for a long time, "Happy Paradise" has a sophisticated and efficient structure. No one will interfere with her decisions, and no one will blame her if it makes losses.

We need to boost everyone's confidence.

"By the way, there's one more thing."

To boost her confidence, Misabel announced, "I've already confirmed this with Mr. Bersabia this morning. He promised me that my future works will continue to be serialized in Happy Paradise, so I don't have to worry about sales..."

As expected, as soon as these words were spoken, several editors immediately cheered up.

As long as there is the golden signboard of Berthabia, sales will be guaranteed to be stable. Even if "Happy Paradise" fails in its transformation, it can still make a profit as long as it no longer prints color covers.

"real or fake?"

Editor Wilson was even more shocked and asked, "Boss, what exactly did you talk about with Teacher Bersabia this morning? Why did he give you advice and suggestions for a career change, and even go so far as to guarantee that your work would be serialized in a magazine like Happy Paradise?"

As if thinking of a possibility, his expression changed: "Could it be that, Boss, you are willing to sacrifice yourself for "Happy Paradise"..."

Under his influence, the eyes of the other editors also underwent a strange change - after all, no matter how you look at it, the only competitive advantage of "Happy Paradise" compared to other magazines seems to be that its boss is quite cute.

"......go out!"

Misabel finally couldn't stand it anymore and pointed at the basement door.

Chapter 143: Practice or survive, that is the question

After establishing the transformation policy, the editorial department took immediate action.

You can't get fat in one bite. Misabel plans to focus on the two sections of Sesewen and sexy clothing in the first issue of the transformed "Happy Paradise", and put other ideas aside for the time being.

In terms of imperial writing.

First of all, the requirements for manuscripts have increased significantly. Adhering to the principle of "better to have nothing than to have something of poor quality", literary and artistic quality must also be guaranteed.

The second is to try to actively solicit works on a small scale, focusing on writers who can make a little money and are not starving but not well off. These people have basic creative abilities and certain writing skills, but for various reasons their works do not sell well.

In terms of clothing design.

We also commissioned works on a large scale, and the targets were also third-rate fashion designers.

The main point is to win people over with money.

.......

The afternoon after Misabel's operation.

Costume designer Scott, looking at the letter of commission from "Happy Paradise" in his hand, fell into deep thought.

Do we really need moral integrity?

After all, there are some things that, even if you say they don't matter, once you lose them, you will still feel a slight sense of loss, such as integrity, and integrity, and integrity...

But as a man with ideals and ambitions.

Scott has been working towards becoming a fashion designer, hoping to make a career of his own in this industry.

Unfortunately, the reality is so cruel that his works have never been appreciated and he has been struggling to make ends meet.

Until today, the recently popular "Happy Paradise" sent him a letter of invitation, hoping that he could design a female erotic underwear for the new issue of "Happy Paradise" magazine, and the remuneration was very high.

"No no no, calm down Scott."

Holding the letter of invitation, author Scott finally struggled. "Even though the offer is generous, no matter how broke I am, I can't possibly be designing lingerie for an adult magazine, right? Wouldn't it be a laughingstock for my peers? My father back home would definitely kick me out with a broom if he knew!"

“Although it’s really a lot.”

"In short, I will absolutely never abandon my moral integrity and will never design erotic lingerie!!!"

at this time.

dong dong dong-

There was a loud bang on the door, followed by the landlord's rough voice: "Scott? Are you in? When did you pay last month's rent???"

Hearing this familiar voice, Scott immediately held his breath and dared not speak, pretending that no one was at home.

After knocking for a while, the landlord saw no one answered and yelled, "Scott, I know you're at home. If you don't pay your rent in full this month, I'll throw all your luggage onto the street! Do you hear me?"

After saying this, the landlord left in great anger.

Listening to the footsteps of departure.

Scott breathed a sigh of relief and finally dared to speak: "Alas, life is not easy. Where can I get the money to pay the rent? I can't just go to the construction site and move bricks, right?"

Wait, money?

Scott was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the letter of invitation from Happy Paradise in his hand.

But this time, his eyes changed subtly, as if holding a hint of hesitation, a hint of wavering, a hint of hesitation...

"Actually."

He was silent for a moment, then muttered to himself, "Contributing to Happy Paradise isn't too shameful, is it?"

"Look at Ms. Bersabia. She's been contributing to Happy Paradise, and she's still very popular. No one dislikes her; everyone respects her. This shows that as long as the work is good, it doesn't matter what platform it's on."

"If it really doesn't work, the worst that can happen is that we can remain anonymous and just don't let anyone else know."

"Besides, erotic lingerie is also part of fashion design. Lingerie is also clothing, so it doesn't deviate from my ideals..."

"Perhaps I can take this opportunity to calm down and improve my clothing design..."

"This has absolutely nothing to do with giving a lot or anything!"

"If I have to blame someone, I'll blame this damn world. It's definitely not my fault!"

After convincing myself.

Scott put down the envelope in his hand, took out a piece of draft paper from the side, and began to think about how to design underwear.

Although this is my first time designing underwear.

But as the saying goes, astringency is the primary productive force.

The inspiration in Scott's mind was like a surging river. His entire train of thought was continuous and coherent, completely different from the stiffness of his usual forced clothing designs. It was very smooth and silky, and he completed the first version in less than a moment.

Thus, perhaps the world's first real erotic underwear, a pair of black pants and bras with some hollow designs in the middle appeared on the paper.

"Could it be that I am actually a design genius?"

He looked at the finished manuscript in front of him and fell into deep thought.
