Chapter 1776: 429: A Miracle that Shook the World_2 Chapter 1776: 429: A Miracle that Shook the World_2 CEO Cooper said, “President Colden and I think ‘The Secret of S’ is the most suitable for adaptation.”

Mandel Thompson narrowed his eyes, “Then let’s hear the reasons from both sides.”

“I’ll go first,” CEO Cooper began.

Of course, Mandel Thompson gave CEO Cooper the face he deserved and smiled with a nod, “Go ahead.”

CEO Cooper spoke at length about his idea.

“First of all, ‘The Secret of S’ is hugely more popular than ‘There is Wine Today.’ Why is ‘The Secret of S’ so popular? Definitely because it’s good content! That’s why the readers favor it. Plus, ‘The Secret of S’ currently has already reached two hundred million clicks on the website. ‘There is Wine Today’ is barely over one hundred million! There’s no comparison between the two works; they’re not even on the same level, so there’s no need to contrast them!”

Of course, there were two more vital reasons CEO Cooper didn’t mention.

First, the author of ‘The Secret of S’ was his nephew.

Second, he didn’t like Isla Astir.

This girl was too sharp-tongued; she had the audacity to refute his opinions in front of everyone yesterday.

Moreover, in CEO Cooper’s eyes, girls could never compare to boys.

“So, I think ‘The Secret of S’ will definitely become the hottest game of the year and the most sought after by young people! President, choosing ‘The Secret of S’ is undoubtedly correct!”

Upon hearing this, those who supported CEO Cooper’s idea began nodding their heads.

Mandel Thompson didn’t make a decision right away but looked at Marsh Hofmann, “President Hofmann, let’s hear your reasons.”

Marsh Hofmann adjusted his glasses and spoke at a measured pace, “Although ‘There is Wine Today’ doesn’t match the popularity of ‘The Secret of S,’ big data analysis shows that ‘There is Wine Today’ has a reader payment rate more than three times that of ‘The Secret of S.’ This indicates that ‘There is Wine Today’ is a very good work, with a plot that’s closely interconnected. Just like in games, we must consider the long-term development and not let players feel bored and stop playing right after they register.”

“Sometimes, we can’t only look at surface data. There’s a saying, right? ‘All that glitters is not gold.'”
It’s like a calendar’s decorative vase–nice to look at but not practical.

At these words, CEO Cooper’s brows knit slightly.

What did Marsh Hofmann mean by that? Was he insinuating that his nephew’s data was fake?

How could this young man be so irresponsible with his words?

Just spewing things on a whim?

CEO Cooper looked at Marsh Hofmann and then said, “President Hofmann, young people should speak based on facts. How do you know the payment rate for ‘There is Wine Today’ is higher than ‘The Secret of S’?”

He was clearly making groundless accusations.

Marsh Hofmann pulled out a document, “This is the data I had Fragrant Comics’ website pull up.”

Seeing the data, CEO Cooper’s brows knit slightly again.

He hadn’t expected that Marsh Hofmann would actually go and do research.

Could it be that Marsh Hofmann and Isla Astir were related as well?

CEO Cooper picked up the document, examined it closely, and after a moment, he looked at Marsh Hofmann and spoke again, “Actually, data doesn’t explain everything. ‘The Secret of S’ is simply better than ‘There is Wine Today.’ If we’re talking about adaption, ‘The Secret of S’ is surely more suited.”

After saying this, CEO Cooper looked towards Mandel Thompson, “President, what do you think?”

Mandel Thompson narrowed his eyes, “I think…”

CEO Cooper watched expectantly.

Choose ‘The Secret of S’!

Mandel Thompson would certainly choose ‘The Secret of S.’
Just then, Mandel Thompson continued, “‘There is Wine Today’ is the most suitable, Brayman, start drafting the contract.”

Secretary Brayman nodded, “Yes, President.”

CEO Cooper was stunned.

He hadn’t expected Mandel Thompson to directly choose Isla Astir’s work.

CEO Cooper was still somewhat unwilling to let it go and looked at Mandel Thompson, “President! I think we need to discuss this matter further! Many companies are vying for ‘The Secret of S”s rights! If we miss this opportunity, we’ll regret it with nowhere to turn!”

“No need for further discussion,” Mandel Thompson said each word deliberately.

“President!”

Mandel Thompson turned his sharp gaze towards CEO Cooper, and asked in a stern voice, “Do you have any other objections?”

Even though Mandel Thompson was young, his aura was not lacking at all.

When he got angry, even someone over fifty like CEO Cooper felt fear.

CEO Cooper deflated like a punctured ball, “No, none.”

Mandel Thompson looked around the conference table, “Meeting adjourned.”

As he said this, Mandel Thompson turned and left.

Watching Mandel Thompson’s retreating back, CEO Cooper muttered indignantly to President Colden beside him, “Just wait! He’ll regret it soon enough!”
