Chapter 709: A Promise

In the café, Tomoshi Ooka and Pei Ziyun were still sitting.

Tomoshi Ooka ordered another cup of coffee, and while sipping the coffee, he looked through the work of Shinichi Yamada, which he had just bought at the bookstore.

Tomoshi Ooka also has some hobbies, watching movies, listening to music, and reading.

Watching movies, he likes to watch some documentaries, especially about history, thinking that this can improve his background and learn from history to improve himself.

Tomoshi Ooka is a person with dreams and ambitions, and he will not waste his time on some irrelevant things, even if it is some ordinary relaxation, he will try his best to improve his ability.

And listening to music can be regarded as a method of relaxation that Tomoshi Ooka really uses. Tomoshi Ooka likes to listen to some classical music, and there is a shelf at home dedicated to storing classical music discs, which he thinks is more connotative and can better relieve the usual tension and irritability.

As for reading, it is usually "The Cause of Japan's Rise" and "Thinking: Politics and Economy", and the reason for reading such books is that Tomoshi Ooka is working for the Hengyuan family, which has a close relationship with the Japanese government and needs to understand the situation better.

When I have time, I read some literary masterpieces, and I only occasionally read some popular books.

Tomoshi Ooka had heard that a rookie writer, Shinichi Yamada, had recently published two very good books, but he didn't take it to heart and didn't pay attention to it.

However, a few days ago, when I was sorting out the details of Shinichi Yamada, I was shocked to find that he was not the same name and surname, and he was not only a samurai, but also a talented writer.

Now Tomoshi Ooka is drinking coffee and reading a book, but in fact, it is the first time to read the work, and he exclaims: "It's amazing, Yamada-kun." ”

"You have brought the samurai in the book to life, his spirit is really enviable, is this because you are also a samurai?"

In the samurai, in the book, it seems that he sees his own figure, sees his pursuit and persistence in his dreams, and is admired by himself.

Listening to Ooka Tomoshi's praise, Pei Ziyun was expressionless, and only bowed his head and said: "You are too complimentary, to be honest, my level is not high." ”

In fact, it was just a plagiarism of the second part of a super-first-class author, Mizuda Nona.

Mizuda Nonaka debuted at the age of twenty-one, and wrote until he was fifty-four years old, a total of thirty-three years, and only wrote eleven books, an average of one every three years.

The level of the second part is not the highest, and in the end, it can be promoted by half a level, and it is not my own ability.

Tomoshi Ooka shook his head: "Although he is a newcomer, he has already surpassed many famous authors, and if this level is still low, there will be no high-level people in Japan." ”

As he spoke, there was a "Didi" sound on his body, and the phone rang.

Ooka Tomoshi stopped, put down the book and coffee in his hand, took out the phone and answered, his face was serious, and he responded from time to time: "Yes, yes, hi!"

After Ooka Tomoshi finished answering, he put his mobile phone on the table, but he didn't cut it off, and said to Pei Ziyun: "Yamada-kun, the Bandong family agreed to your request, when will you have time to pass?"

Ooka Tomoshi asked, shocked in his heart, and when he heard Pei Ziyun's conditions, although he agreed to tell him, he was still not sure in his heart.

Because I want to get the Ooka and Ogawa awards, it's too difficult.

If you are only shortlisted for the Ooka Award and the Ogawa Award, these are nothing, and some foundations and families can do it, but it is very difficult to actually win the award.

The difficulty is not a matter of money, but of a democratic society in which there is no central authority to enforce orders and prohibitions, and the so-called consortium is not a single company, so to speak, the interweaving of forces is the general situation.

The Ooka Prize and the Ogawa Prize are the most important awards in Japanese literature, with only 60% of the judges and 40% of the scores being selected by a number of private delegations, a total of 200 people from all over the country, all of whom have considerable literary literacy.

There are too many people paying attention, everyone has enemies, and if there is an obvious flaw, it will become a big scandal.

And Pei Ziyun's "Who is the Second Man" has won the Araki Award, and to win the Ooka Award and the Ogawa Award in the shortest possible time, it means that two awards will be won in two years in succession, such an achievement is unimaginable.

A new writer has won three consecutive literary titles in three years, which has never been done in the history of Japanese literature to date.

The most brilliant achievement is that Hironori Fukunaga, known as the "National Writer of Japan", won the Araki Prize, the Ooka Prize, and the Ogawa Prize in succession within 11 years, shocking the whole of Japan, and was called a national writer.

And if there is really a situation where a fifteen-year-old boy wins the championship three times in three years, it is really hard for Tomoshi Ooka to imagine what the situation will be - this is the whole of Japan staring at one person, any problem will be repeatedly examined under a magnifying glass, if there is no real ability to win the championship, the Bandong family will not be able to hold on.

Now that Sakato has agreed to Yamada Shinichi's request, it means that Yamada Shinichi's works really have the strength to surpass the Japanese literary scene.

That's terrifying!

Tomoshi Ooka was shocked, with an incredulous look in his eyes, and asked, "Have you written three more shocking works in a short period of time?"

This isn't human anymore, is it?

Tomoshi Ooka still knows a little about literature, writing is not easy, how many people can be famous for those who have been engaged in creation all their lives?

How many people can be famous?

In the heyday, how many people can pass it on?

And it is impossible for any writer to be in good shape forever and keep writing good works.

How is it possible to write five in a year?

Pei Ziyun understood Ooka Tomoshi's mood, but he smiled and said: "If it's time, although the semester is over now, I'm going to hold a national tour, where is Yuanzi Bandong?"

Only then did Tomoshi Ooka come to his senses, and said it again on the phone, and after listening to the answer, he said: "The Bandong family said that Bando Yuanzi is in the Hokkaido main house. ”

"Okay, I'm going to hold a club tour in Hokkaido, and the time is scheduled for July 23rd. Pei Ziyun heard this answer and said the time without thinking.

Tomoshi Ooka answered the reply again, got up and bowed deeply, with a smile on his face: "The Bandong family will warmly welcome you, as well as the members of your community. ”

Speaking of this, he paused and reminded Pei Ziyun again: "Yamada-kun, please be careful of other samurai, especially the samurai of Iwagami Shrine." ”

"Imagami Shrine?" Pei Ziyun nodded: "I understand." ”

After hearing this, Ooka Tomoshi got up and bowed and said goodbye, while Pei Ziyun muttered: "Do you agree to this condition?"

"It looks like the water is a bit deep!"

"But why should I care?"

He drank his coffee, turned to leave, and took out his phone and pressed a few buttons, and said to Kota Toyama, "Hey, is it Kota? ”

Club room

Several boys were swinging swords, waving wooden knives in their hands, slashing the air, making a whistling sound, and their clothes were soaked, showing that they had practiced very hard.

Tsuiko was also exercising, sweating all over, and her face was full of tangles and pain.

The next door has changed a lot, not only are the two connected, there are sofas, tables, bookshelves, etc., but also a simple open kitchen in one corner.

Since Naomi Hayakawa brought the lunch, Pei Ziyun found that the cooking skills were good, so he put her in charge of the food of the entire community - just the extra meal, of course.

Pei Ziyun specially made a simple open kitchen for Naomi Hayakawa in the club room, and let her show her cooking skills to avoid trouble.

Since the Tokyo apartments, which are as small as 15 square meters and as large as 60 square meters, are basically simple open kitchens, the Japanese are very experienced, so although the sparrows are small, they have all kinds of organs.

Portable stoves, water recyclers, kitchen utensils, and cutlery are all very thoughtful, and Naomi Hayakawa is simmering on them, she is smiling and in a good mood.

"I ate tamagoyaki a few days ago, and today I will eat fried dumplings. ”

The fried dumplings are fragrant, the skin is crispy, the filling is juicy, and the mouth is full of oil when you really bite into it, and Naomi Hayakawa thought, "I can try the fried shrimp, and I can also consider the tuna rice bowl." ”

And Kota Toyama was dealing with the work of the club on the desk, smelling the tempting fragrance, drooling, wiping his mouth with his hands, and saying to Hayakawa Naomi: "Naomi, you are so good, what is the secret? Why are the things you make so delicious?"

"Really, Naomi, I don't think even the chef of Oharaya can compare to you. As he spoke, Kota Toyama wiped his mouth again.

Oharaya is a famous restaurant in the neighborhood, and it is a traditional family restaurant in Japanese dramas, and it is mouth-watering just to look at.

Hayakawa Naomi listened to this and smiled slightly, she didn't know, anyway, she only understood, she didn't know what, as she fell asleep again and again, she woke up and found that she was very handy when cooking, and the taste was particularly delicious.

Recently, Pei Ziyun has eaten it and praised it again and again, which makes Hayakawa Naomi very happy.

Tsuneko's round eyes were full of approval: "Although Hayakawa-san can't even hold a wooden knife, his cooking skills are really good - I'm hungry, I want to eat rice balls." ”

"Hey, Tsuko, here. ”

A snow-white rice ball, with a bit of meat in it, as is traditional, covered with a layer of seaweed and a little salt, which is the snack after the club members exercise.

When Yanzi pounced on it and took a big bite, the phone came, Kota Toyama answered the phone, and when he heard the voice on the phone, he knew that it was Pei Ziyun, and asked, "Minister, is there something wrong?"

There was a sound on the phone, and Kota Toyama replied happily, as if he had some questions, and asked, "Hokkaido? But it costs a lot of money to get to Hokkaido, right?"

Pei Ziyun's voice came out on the phone: "Don't think about money, someone is sponsoring this time." ”

"Hey, that's great!" Kota Toyama completely believed Pei Ziyun's words, clenched his fists and celebrated hard, looked back and said, "Naomi, the minister won't come back if he has something!"

"Also, in a few days, we'll go to Hokkaido to play!" said Kota Toyama, with a look of longing on his face.

"Ah!" Hearing Kota Toyama say that Pei Ziyun would not come back, Naomi Hayakawa looked at her dim sum and suddenly felt some disappointment.
