Chapter 466: Different Treatment
At the request of his two female fans, Shuichi Minamino not only signed on the blank page of the book "Pedestrian" according to their request, but also attached a short exclusive gift, and shook hands with them one by one and took a group photo. After the end, they also asked him to bring the most sincere blessings to the National University writer Mr. Takeshita Kusaoke, and to greet Miss Miyuki. For this reason, Shuichi Minamino, who promised the two, unknowingly became a celebrity who was noticed. Disturbing them no more, they bowed happily and satisfied, and left.
"I'll just say it! How can you be so familiar? At first, I didn't think about it yet. Now, I finally get it. Shuichi Minamino, the only disciple of the National University writer Mr. Takeshita Kusaoke, made a strong debut with the novella "Pedestrian", a rising writer star in the literary world. After reading Minamino-kun's debut novel, I realized first-hand what it means to be talented. I really didn't expect that we would be so fated to be able to meet here. Fortunately, fortunately. He took the initiative to stand up and took out the box of business cards he was carrying, and took out one of them, and presented it to the male editor of Shuichi Minamino with both hands.
Shuichi Minamino, who was also polite, took his business card with both hands, but didn't look at it. I clearly felt that the other party was not very friendly. First, being late for a date is a completely insincere apology; Second, even if he came, he was too busy trying to leave, and he didn't respect Yumi Dà Island at all; Third, when he knows his true identity, he has become a completely different person, which is enough to prove that he is clearly a snob......
"Nanno-kun, I have something to say to you, don't blame me if the words are inappropriate. I'm a straight-hearted man, I say whatever I want, and I never hide it. On behalf of the Society, I sincerely invite you to join us. We desperately need a writer as talented as you as a columnist. As for the remuneration, you can just offer it. The male editor, who did everything he could, naturally wanted to pull him over.
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't agree to your request. At the moment, I have a long-term contract with Mustard Press. As a contracted writer at Mustard Press, I had to fulfill the terms of the contract, which made it difficult for me to eat. "Half is true, and the other half is Shuichi Minamino who shirks his words, and is subject to any harsh conditions. It is precisely because he is the only disciple of Takeshita Kusao that he is given the overlord clause that he is neither a rookie writer nor a self-cultivating writer, but directly prescribes preferential treatment as a third-tier writer.
Although I could have been a columnist for other publishing houses, I was very repulsed in my heart. What's more, a small publishing house like the other party will not have any good development except for being able to make a few more living money. Instead of wasting too much energy on making more money, it is better to write a good novel. As long as you do your job well, why don't you worry about not making money from it? Moreover, he is not too interested in money, as long as he ensures his current living state and quality, it is enough to spend.
"Oh...... I see. It's a shame. However, Minamino-kun, have you ever thought about it, can you sell your next non-short story novel as a single book by our publishing house? As for royalties, we will add 5% to the amount given to you by Mustard Press. "A male editor who doesn't give up at all, as long as he feels 1 percent hope, he has to make 100 percent effort.
Shuichi Minamino, who enjoys the current kind of fragrant and gluttonous treatment, is completely a copy of Takeshita grass mustard ten years ago. At that time, his teacher was also robbed by editors from large and small publishing houses. The editors are constantly lobbying, digging into the corners of the wall, and at the same time, they are also offering the same lucrative, premium royalties and remuneration as they are now.
"Thank you for your kindness. If you can, you will definitely consider your company seriously. Since you are a person who loves to be straightforward, then I am also a person like you. I'll tell you the truth, my first novel has only just come out, and my second novel hasn't even been conceived yet. It's a kind of rejection of Shuichi Minamino, and he never considered releasing his novels at a publishing house other than Kee Press. The reason why he is like this is that he is repaying his teacher for cultivating him over the years, and secondly, he has no reason to abandon his roots, after all, Wasake Press is the largest publishing house in Japan. What's more, he didn't have to go there, but he didn't have to consider changing jobs to find another development in his publishing house.
"Okay! I still have something to do, so I'll take the first step and won't bother much. Tonight, this meal is up to me, don't be polite to me again. Yumi, you can come to the publishing house and ask me to pay the bill. "I don't expect to be able to win the male editor of Shuichi Minamino at one time, but I also saw that the relationship between the two was extraordinary, so I thought of a roundabout tactic. He can make full use of Yumi Oshima to realize his final plan, and he is very generous.
After finishing speaking, the male editor took the initiative to get up and say goodbye. Before leaving, he didn't take the manuscript of the novella that Yumi Oshima put in front of him. In her own opinion, her manuscript has no value at all, while Shuichi Minamino's manuscript is completely different.
"Yumi, what do you want to eat? Feel free to order, I'll please. Shuichi Minamino, who didn't intend to appreciate the male editor's treat, but was going to pay out of his own pocket to have dinner with her, his attention was completely on Yumi Oshima, and he smiled.
With a wry smile on his face, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at Yumi Oshima on the ceiling, his eyes were red, and his heart was extremely sour: "He just finished bullying me and left, and now it's your turn to bully me?" Before she could finish speaking, she stood up suddenly, picked up the manuscript she had put on the table, and rushed out in a hurry.
And quickly took out two 10,000 yen bills from his wallet and put them on the table Minamino Shuichi, and immediately chased them out. Standing at the door of the French restaurant, he instinctively looked left and right, and found that Yumi Oshima was running towards the bridge on the right, so he couldn't help but panic more and more in his heart.
