Chapter 180: The Subsequent Discussion
Although Kazuya expressed a high degree of confidence in going to the editorial office to directly ask the location of the Machida editor, but to be honest, he was also prepared for failure, and he had nothing to rely on except for a dumb aid from a person who was inadvertently "pulled into the water" by Shinbuchi Gen, and the editorial department of Fantastic Bunko didn't seem to be a place that would hurt his own editor for a small role like him.
And his only reliance, the real Yuanxuan who is running into him, will definitely be hated by the other party at this time, and when the time comes, what he may have to pay is the price of pit this senior in the industry who is more or less of a great help to him.
Therefore, if you look back on this matter, Kazuya feels that he seems to have nothing but courage, and the so-called change may be a change in courage, but the IQ is extremely reduced, and there is no beneficial change in the actual situation.
Therefore, if it continues according to the normal logic, Kazuya-san is about to taste a bitterness called "Long Aotian is not so easy to be".
However, it was somewhat fortunate that the story did not go on this way, and he was involved in the somewhat complicated internal struggle of the Fantastic Library, which caught him off guard.
"Of course, at least I got the specific position of Machida editor, and as for whether I should listen to the idea of the deputy editor-in-chief, I will still talk about it later." Kazuya comforted himself like this.
However, after coming out of the editorial building, Shi Yuanxuan was the first to speak to Kazuya. For him, today can be regarded as a relatively big twist and turn, first of all, Kazuya, a "disciple" who was almost forgotten by himself, ran over and found a trace of inspiration for the novel "fake-zero" that he was still working on, which made him excited.
So he didn't have much concern and agreed to give Kazuya a face, and let him meet the editor of the Fantastic library he was more familiar with, but what he never expected was that Kazuya didn't want to discuss with the editor about the publication of any novels, but completely focused on threatening the editorial department, which made him, the person who came with him, a little inexplicably dragged into the water.
Just when he thought that Kazuya's move would make him finish in the industry, he saw a desperate place again, that is, the intrigue within the library on the opposite side was more serious than he imagined, so Kazuya's way of offending people didn't get too much attention from the other party, and he himself was a little lucky to escape.
Otherwise, poor Mr. Shibuchi will have to think carefully about what he will have to make a living from for the rest of his life.
"Well, to be honest, it's good to write this intrigue thing into a script or something, but this kind of workplace script is not very to my taste, and I will talk about it when I meet someone who is good at writing this kind of script in the future, I remember that Maruto Shimi seems to be preparing to create a similar script? Well, let's not talk about it yet. Moreover, as a professional script writer, his sensitivity also made Shi Yuanxuan find a somewhat interesting plot, but it is not so in line with his style.
Of course, the honest classmate is still a good person in general, and after his situation is no problem, he turned his attention to Kazuya again, although this guy cheated himself today, but out of the help of an elder to a junior, he felt that he still had to give some advice to this little guy who seemed to be a little unaware of the current situation.
"That, Kazuya," Shibuchi said earnestly.
"This, Mr. Shi Yuanxuan, I'm really sorry today," looking at Shi Yuanxuan, who sighed a little, Kazuya also realized that he almost dug a big pit for this person just now (Author: You have obviously dug the pit and everyone jumped in, and now what do you say to apologize,), so he lowered his head and said deeply, "I shouldn't have gone against the editorial department without consulting you, and I also involved you, I'm really sorry!" ”
"Well, this is nothing, the ending doesn't look bad in the end," Shi Yuanxuan waved his hand and said, "However, this is also what I want to tell you." ”
"What's the matter?" Kazuya's attention is now focused on the current address of the Machida editor given to him by the deputy editor-in-chief opposite, so he doesn't understand what he means.
"I'll just say it," Shi Yuanxuan nodded, "What do you think of that associate editor's idea of recruiting you?" ”
"What do you think? That's not what I'm thinking about now, can I just deal with it when the time comes? Kazuya shook his head and said with some confusion, "Anyway, my goal is just to find Senior Sister Shiyu, and there will definitely be a solution to other things at that time, right?" ”
"That's your problem," Shi Yuanxuan shook his head and said, "The current deputy editor has given you these benefits, but then do you think he will wait for your reply like this?" No, if you accept these benefits from him, it means that you already owe him something, even if you don't feel so in your heart, for him, he already has this evidence of yours, and he can use it a lot, do you understand? ”
"What do you mean?" Although theoretically it's been more than 30 years of life, most of Kazuya's contact with society is in school, although I learned some political insiders because of my parents, but for the sake of protecting their children, Kazuya's parents didn't let Kazuya and Ayase know too much about what they did, so the current Kazuya, for this kind of thing, is not much different from the average male high school student.
Therefore, in Kazuya's opinion, as long as he slowly drags this matter and doesn't care about it, the deputy editor-in-chief who doesn't have any binding force on himself can't do anything to himself, but, listening to what Shi Yuanxuan said, it doesn't seem to be the case.
"You're still too tender, kid," although he was a little upset at the way he had just and intentionally or unintentionally dragged himself into the water, Shi Yuanxuan continued to explain, out of his status as a so-called teacher and elder, "For the deputy editor-in-chief, you just accepted him." Kindness', he can use this matter as a bargaining chip to play with you and Machida, I guess his next move must be to immediately tell the Machida editor, what you want to go to, and then, it will take a while for you to get to the city next door now, and in this time difference, it is enough for the editor to take the teacher Kasumi Shiko you are looking for to move the position. And at this time, what do you think you should do? ”
"You mean, I'll have to turn to the associate editor again?" Kazuya frowned and said.
"That's pretty much what it means." Shi Yuanxuan nodded and said, "If you haven't asked for help from him before, then I think you might want to use other methods, but now that you have this good person to ask for help, and this person seems to have helped you just now, then your first reaction is to ask him for help again, right?" ”
"But, according to what you're saying now, I can do have other ways?" Kazuya said with some confusion.
"I don't know if you have any other methods, but, judging from my judgment, since you have already contradicted the editorial department at the cost of fighting a fish to break the net, it means that you really want to find Teacher Xia Shizi now, and you don't have too many other methods. Moreover, you all have inertia, and if you ask for help once, it is easy to rely on it a second time, do you dare to say that your first reaction when you hear me say this is not to find the deputy editor-in-chief first? Shi Yuanxuan said somewhat confidently.
Kazuya lowered his head and thought about it with some uncertainty: he also realized the problem at once, and from the time when the deputy editor offered to help him, the situation seemed to fall into his logic, and he himself was getting deeper and deeper into the plan of the deputy editor, and he was not in the slightest position to refute it.
"But, if you're going to tell me this, you should have some problem with this method, right? Otherwise, as a writer, aren't you going to be played to death by these editorial editors? Kazuya raised his head, looked at Shi Yuanxuan, and said.
"Well, there should be a way." Shi Yuan Xuan said hesitantly.
"Well, tell me! I hope to find the position of Shiyu-senpai, and I hope that the Machida editor will solve the matter well, but I don't want to become a tool for the intrigue between the deputy editor-in-chief and the Machida editor, so, Mr. Minobuchi Gen, please! Kazuya's eyes widened and said to Shi Yuanxuan seriously.
"Please! Don't make your eyes so big.,You see you're not actually a beautiful girl or something.,Widening your eyes when asking someone won't have the effect of softening the other person's thinking.。 Shi Yuanxuan said with a swing.
However, he then smiled mysteriously and added, "But I'll tell you better, for talented writers like us, this kind of editorial requests and traps and the like are not really a thing!" ”
Looking at Shi Yuanxuan's confident expression, Kazuya also became a little nervous.
"It's very simple, for me, the most important thing to do at this time is ' You see, you are a talented writer, and if you can let the deputy editor-in-chief poach you like this, and then want to make your debut and make you successful, it means that you are a very valuable object, at this time, it's very simple, you just need to tell the editor Machida about it, if she realizes that if she lets you go, it will hurt her in the struggle, then she will definitely try her best to keep you! ”
"That's it!" Kazuya's somewhat excited face also dimmed.
However, Shi Yuanxuan didn't seem to care about this, he just continued to boast and said, "You know what? At that time, one of my scripts was like this, but it was not an internal competition in the editorial department, it was still a little more advanced than yours, and it was directly a competition between two game production companies for me. Of course, instead of saying that I was going to change jobs, I was a little uncertain about the future of the company, and then the game company that made the script sent me a bigger contract, and it was really high-spirited at that time! ”
However, just when Shi Yuanxuan was nostalgic for his great deeds in the past, Kazuya said with a smile: "Well, thank you very much for the teacher's proposal, but I feel that this point cannot be done for me!" ”
"Huh? What's going on? Shi Yuanxuan raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Indeed, this left-right method is a good method, but this situation needs to be based on two premises, one is that you just mentioned, your own conditions and strength are excellent, and you can really make yourself a 'strange goods', and the second, I think it is very important that both sides have expectations for you, and the two sides are in a situation of competing for you, and I think this point cannot be satisfied."
"You mean that the Machida editor over there doesn't think that much of you?" Shi Yuanxuan took a heavy breath.
"That's right, although I don't have much contact with that Machida editor, but judging from my many contacts with her, she really doesn't seem to take my talent seriously, maybe my poaching by the deputy editor will hit her, but, in that person's opinion, maybe as long as I hold Kasumigaoka-senpai, who may become a top light novel writer in the future, in my hands, it will be foolproof, and besides, that person also has such ability and such confidence, so this is also the reason why she ignored me." Kazuya sighed and said.
"In other words, even if you are poached, even if your debut will deal a blow to that editor, it will only be a small beating, and there will be no damage to her status?"
"Almost! At least that's what that was in the eyes of that person, but I don't know what the deputy editor thinks, maybe poaching me to hit her is just the first step in the plan, and maybe he has the next step. Kazuya nodded and said.
"Then it's troublesome!" Shi Yuanxuan also frowned and said with some uncertainty.
"No, there's another way." Kazuya said heavily.
"Huh? How can you do it yourself? Shi Yuanxuan was a little surprised.
"That's right, that's to make myself a third-party powerhouse, a real, capable third-party powerhouse."
"What do you mean?"
"If my value really rises to a level that neither side can afford to take lightly, then I will have the capital to negotiate."
"It's obvious, but the point is that you don't have that value right now! And also. ”
"But I can change that." Kazuya showed a confident expression, "Two-pronged, two-pronged change." ”
