Is this sentence right?
Working at the publishing house, I've found a paper for a foreign publisher. There is a sentence which I think is incorrect.
The sentence: Publisher "Books" no objection to the publication in English the enlarged edition of the book of Professor I. Ivanov "The countryside" in "International Publishing House".
My version: "The publisher "Books" has no objection to the publication in English the enlarged edition of the book of Professor I. Ivanov "The countryside" in "International Publishing House".
Which version is right? Is there any other mistakes?

The most important meeting in my life
I think the most important meeting in my life I had a six month ago. Its meeting helped me find the job.
One day I was going from my English classes. I was a bit sad because I couldn’t found a job for two month. And a day before I again had been at the job interview in the publishing house and then I supposed they didn’t take me on this job. Of course, the recruitment agent was polite, but they had needed an experience worker. And what could I say? I had just graduated the college and hadn’t experience at all. But I wanted work in the profession very much. So I was walking on the street thinking deeply and didn’t look around me. But then I take up my eyes and saw a girl smiling at me. I recognized my classmate. She came to me. We greeted each other and continued walking together. She said to me that she had been at college that day and our teacher asked her about me, because our teacher had the job for me. I was absolutely surprised. I walked to the college and found there my teacher. She told me that one publishing house was looking for a proof-reader. Also she told me details about this publishing house and what kind of literature they printed. She asked if I wanted apply for this job. I was a bit afraid because they printed technical literature. It is very difficult kind of literature for proof-reading. But I decided not to miss this chance. She gave me telephone number of director and I arranged an appointment.
Next day I went to the publishing house. It was the not big and quite publishing house. There were working a few people. The welcome was warming. The director was an old kind men and main editor was a tall thin woman. They make a good impression on me. The salary was not big but it didn’t matter for me. The main thing was that I would work in my profession. Then I met the main proof-reader. She was an old woman who was working in this publishing house a big part of her life. She wasn’t very tall, but very stately. Never the less the age difference we got on well. She was very kind and helped me if had some questions.
I’m working there up to now and I’m very happy. People and work are absolutely amazing. I don’t worry about difficulties any more. And I think working there is a good chance to learn my profession on all sides. I am very glad that I met my classmate that day. It was unexpected but very helpful meeting.
