Next chapter

"Crackling~Crackling~"

Accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, a group of writers who had been waiting outside the Tokyo Mainichi Shimbun building entered the building, and everyone had been waiting for this day for a long time, and today they were going to know whether they had won the award or not, and now everyone's hearts were in full swing. ￥f。 ￥f

Inuyama Shiba followed the crowd into the newspaper building, and in the process he loosened his tie without a trace, although he was very confident that he had won the award, but as long as the results were not announced, he could not feel at ease.

In an office of the newspaper office, Kojima was holding the list of candidates for the big prize given to him by his own adult this morning, handing it to the four judges for them to circulate one by one.

For this award-winning work,To be honest, Kojima is quite surprised.,He doesn't know why you chose it this way.,But these are not his responsibilities.,As a subordinate.,He just needs to faithfully carry out his lord's orders.。

Looking at the list of awards in his hand, Chuan Rui Kangcheng raised his eyebrows, obviously a little surprised that this work could actually win the big award, which made him want to speak, but thinking of his current identity, he swallowed back the words that had risen to his throat, and then passed them directly to Osamu Dazai beside him.

Casually took the list of awards handed over by Kawarui Yasunari, Osamu Dazai casually glanced at it and handed it to the next son, Edogawa Ranbu, the process was very fast, even a second, and there was no expression on his face, so that people couldn't see his mind at all.

For the winner of this novel competition, not only the participating writers are concerned, but Edogawa Ranbu is also concerned, because this decision is not decided by the four judges, but by the big boss behind the Sakura Group, who has been fragrant which novel the other party wants to choose for the past two days, but when he really saw it, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and almost shouted.

Although Edogawa Ranbu has a lot of opinions about this novel winning the big prize, but when he saw the appearance of the first two, he didn't talk long, after all, the other two traditional writers didn't squeak, what did he squeak, and then handed it to Chiyo Uno next to him.

As the only female writer, Chiyo Uno rarely expressed any opinions in this review, usually based on the opinions of three male writers, and she understands that her status is much worse than these three, so she knows how to measure things very well.

Chiyo Uno was a little surprised to see that this novel won the big award, she never thought about this novel, but since this decision was made by the big boss behind the Sakura Group, and the other three male judges around her had no opinion, of course she wouldn't be that uninteresting bird.

Stretching out his hand to take the list of awards handed over by Chiyo Uno, Kojima said: "Since the four masters have no opinion, then let's go out, I think those writers can't wait now." ”

Inside the conference room.

Originally, the whole heart of the writers was a lot more stable after entering here, this is not because everyone is self-adjusting, but they found that the layout in this conference room is a little special, it is not as strict as they imagined, but it reveals this relaxed atmosphere.

All the writers found a cardboard zuò bag with a cherry blossom print on the outside on the outside, which was filled with gifts from the organizers, which made the writers feel a wave of warmth.

Inuyama Shiao, who was sitting on the chair, didn't want to see what was in the bag, although he was curious about it, but he didn't move for the sake of face, but when he saw that the female writer on the left had moved to check, he finally did it too.

'Wow, this cup noodle looks so classy, I haven't seen it outside, it doesn't seem to be cheap.' Taking out the first gift from the paper bag, Inuyama Shiao was shocked, and he couldn't help but say secretly in his heart.

Carefully putting the high-grade cup noodles into the paper bag, Inuyama Shiao reached out and touched something again, but this gift made his eyes widen, and he exclaimed in his heart: "It's really a big hair, it's actually a can of the best canned beef for export, such canned beef is said to be sold to Americans, how much does it cost to exchange it for yen." ’

For a while, Inuyama Shiao's head was a little useless, and he held the best canned beef in his hand in a daze, and his hands were clenched tightly, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to grasp it.

In fact, it was not only Inuyama Shiao who was present, all the writers who looked at the gifts in the paper bag, and saw the best can of canned beef for export, which was almost a reflection of this, even if there were people who didn't know its value, they could also see the line of export English logo, as well as the exquisite aluminum packaging, all of which told them the value of this can.

For this expensive object, all the writers tightened their hands, just like Inuyama Shiao, for fear of accidentally falling to the ground and breaking the exquisite aluminum packaging.

Secretly swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Inuyama Shiba carefully put the canned beef in his hand into the paper bag, and his movements were more careful than when he was in the previous square cup noodles.

'It's really Dafa, even if you don't win an award today, it's enough to just harvest these gifts, these things must be worth more than 10,000 yuan, this Sakura Group is really generous. Putting the canned beef in a paper bag, Inuyama Shiba said secretly in his heart.

The value of the first two items made Inuyama Shiba look forward to the contents of the paper bag even more, and then he reached in and found a sakura ham, a can of lychee drink, a can of tomato and shrimp, a high-end pen specially made by the Sakura Group, a beautifully printed notebook, and a wool scarf.

There are a total of eight gifts, and there are a lot of things to eat, and the combined value of these gifts is incalculable, but according to his guess, I'm afraid it will cost about 20,000.

For this expensive gift, Inuyama Shiao felt a little unreal, he didn't expect this Sakura Group to be so generous, if it wasn't for the real thing in his hand, how could he not believe that there were so many gifts.

These gifts, except for pens, notebooks, and scarves, can be exchanged for a lot of money if they are taken to the black market. Inuyama Shiba thought to himself.

Just as Inuyama Shiba was calculating the value of the gifts in his hand, he suddenly heard a buzzing discussion from other writers on the left and right, and immediately looked up and looked around, and found young men and women wearing Western-style waiter clothes, holding exquisite dinner plates, walking towards the venue.

Watching one of the waiters walk up to their table and put down a dish, Inuyama Shiba couldn't help but sneak a glance and found that it was actually nine huge sea-caught prawns.

Inuyama Shibao, who often reads newspapers, has long heard of the reputation of catching prawns in the sea, and legend has it that a huge prawn costs 38 yuan.

At that time, when reading the newspaper, Inuyama was still secretly scolding the merchant in his heart for his black heart, but he didn't expect him to be able to taste this luxury food today, a table of nine people, exactly one per person.

As the first dish of sea-caught prawns came up, Inuyama Shiba became more attentive to the dishes that followed, and he recited the name of each dish in his heart, as for how he knew the names of these dishes, of course, it was to look at the introduction sign erected on the side of the plate.

There are 12 kinds of dishes, including crab paste meatballs, rose sweet soup, pork leg in sauce, abalone, stir-fried beef tenderloin with shiitake mushrooms, Hong Kong-style roast goose, teriyaki chicken cutlet, king sea crab, tuna salmon and cod sashimi platter, teppanyaki octopus feet, and Akita rice sushi. After secretly reciting the names of all the dishes on the table in his heart, Inuyama Shiba couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

For Inuyama Shibao, none of the dishes on this table were anything he had ever eaten, and just by looking at them, he knew that they must be worth a lot of money, and he had to admit that the taste of these dishes was really delicious.

It wasn't just Inuyama Shiao who was secretly swallowing his saliva at these delicacies, but the forty-five writers at the five tables present, except for a few special people with determination, everyone else made some small moves to a greater or lesser extent.

Although the people present are all writers and scholars, they are also human beings, and if they are human beings, they will yearn for beautiful things, and the personal economic conditions of these writers are very poor, which can be seen from the washed white clothes of several female writers present.

Although the fragrant dishes touched the throats of the writers present and made people want to taste them, none of the writers made a gesture of reaching out.

Although they were eager for these delicacies, as writers, they did not allow themselves to behave rudely in front of their colleagues, so everyone in the room sat upright.

Inuyama Shiba has never hated food so much as he does now, and he really wants to ignore these fragrant foods, but his uncompetitive stomach is always gurgling, which makes her extremely embarrassed.

But fortunately, the other writers around him are almost like this, which makes Inuyama Shiba not too embarrassed, otherwise he really doesn't know if he can wait until the awards ceremony starts.

It seems that if I don't try, my living conditions are not good, and my colleagues around me are similar. Secretly swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Inuyama Shiba comforted himself in his heart.

The inability to move in the face of a table full of food has made a group of poor writers feel tormented, and they now want the award ceremony to start soon, no matter what the result is, as long as it is done quickly.

As if sensing the call in the hearts of the writers, the room opened with a 'squeak', and then five people walked out of it.

The sound of the door opening drew Inuyama's attention to him, and when he landed on the figure that came out of it, his heart, which had been attracted by the food, immediately became restless, because he saw the person he admired.

"Chuanrui Kangcheng is really a master of Chuanrui Kangcheng. Looking at Chuan Rui Yasunei, Inuyama couldn't help but exhale in a low voice, although he himself wrote popularly, but the object of his worship was Yan Sù for the master Chuan Rui Yasunari.

When he was young, Shiio Inuyama read the other party's two books, "Commentary on the New Tendency of New Writers" and "New Sensibility Debate", which helped him a lot in his writing journey, and it was precisely because after reading these two books that he really recognized his own writing path.

If it weren't for these two books, Inuyama Shiba probably doesn't know what he's doing now, and it's absolutely impossible to be a writer anyway.

Pointing out the way forward of creation, this is no less than a teacher, although Chuan Rui Yasunari didn't know that there was such a person as Inuyama Shibao, but in Inuyama Shiao's heart, he regarded the other party as a teacher, and it was precisely because of this that he exclaimed rudely.

Inuyama Shiba is indeed rude, but the other writers present are not much better, for these writers, Kawarui Yasunari, Osamu Dazai, Edogawa Ranbu. Chiyo Uno is also their idol, and although they are writers who write, they also have their own admirers.

And the people they admire are naturally those great writers who are famous all over the country, and they themselves can become such well-known writers one day.

As soon as he entered the conference hall, Kojima heard a low voice, he knew that the voices of these writers were not for himself, but for the four people around him, but he was not envious at all.

Kojima was leading the four writers to the podium that had been arranged in advance, stretched out his hand to let the four writers sit down together, and then said into the microphone in front of him: "I'm afraid that the writers are already waiting a little anxious, so I would like to say sorry to the writers on behalf of the Sakura Group, because we have been discussing the results of the competition for a long time before deciding on them." ”

As Kojima said this, the writers below lowered their breaths, as if they were afraid that they would disturb the other party's announcement of the results.

Looking at the group of writers sitting below, with nervous waiting expressions, Kojima did not lose everyone's appetite, and said directly: "Time is running out, so I won't delay your time in the next place, and now it is up to Uno Chiyo-san to announce the list of winners of the glamorous romance classification." ”

Under the nervous gaze of a group of writers, Chiyo Uno whispered into the microphone in front of him: "The third winner of the next announcement of the erotic romance classification is ......"

The award-winning person happily came to the stage to receive the award, and the person who did not win the award sat down with a depressed expression, because of the mood, it seems that even the delicious food in front of him is not interested.

Among the award-winning people, Inuyama Shiba was very lucky to win the first place in the reasoning adventure category, and when he received the check with the value of 100,000 from Master Edogawa Ranbu, his body trembled slightly, because he knew that from this moment on, the 100,000 yuan belonged to him, and with this money, their family could live better.

The speed of awarding awards is very fast, and after a while, all the categories of awards have been completed, and now only the final award has not been awarded.
