Yumi Oshima, who pouted, didn't take Minamino Shuichi's pertinent approach to his current novella to heart. And the mistake she made was the fault that she raised when she saw Takeshita Kusaoji in high school. For this reason, she has not made corrections, and she still does her own thing.

After seeing Yumi Oshima, who had the time indicated by the round clock hanging on the wall, I felt that it was time to go out for an appointment. So, dressed neatly and dressed up beautifully, she put the novella she had let Minamino Shuichi have preceded in a large white envelope bag, and then went out with him.

The meeting place is in a mid-to-high French restaurant. Yumi Oshima is the editor in charge of a small publishing house. Prior to this, he had submitted articles to a publication of this publishing house many times, and it was accepted for publication. The cooperation between the two sides is quite pleasant.

The publisher had no interest in making her a writer for a particular column. As for the issuance of a single book to Yumi Oshima or something, not only was it not on the agenda at all, but I never even thought that there would be such a "star-making plan". After all, such a long-term plan for cultivating authors is something that only a large publishing house can have.

The reason why the male editor called her out was, on the one hand, Yu Gong wanted to sign her as the resident author of the agency. Yumi Oshima doesn't write much, but there is always an audience that likes it. As long as someone likes to read what she writes, then it means that there is a market for it; On the other hand, Yu is private, he has some meaning between men and women to Yumi Oshima, after all, her appearance, figure, chest, and ass can still arouse the most primitive ** of many men's lower bodies.

Yumi Oshima and Shuichi Minamino, who arrived here first, came early, but they didn't find a place by the window, after all, they were booked in advance by others. At the small square table, she sat north facing south, while he sat west facing east. Since the most important guest did not arrive tonight, they only needed a glass of water, and then waited for the male editor to arrive, and then ordered.

The appointed time arrived at half past seven in the evening, but the male editor still did not show up at this French restaurant. I was embarrassed to call him to urge Yumi Oshima, so I could only continue to wait patiently. And Shuichi Minamino, who was sitting next to him, didn't have any impatience. As long as I can be with her, even if I feed mosquitoes and suck blood, I will enjoy it.

It was nearly eight o'clock in the evening, and as soon as the late male editor walked into the French restaurant, he noticed that Yumi Oshima was waving at him. And seeing that there was another familiar man sitting next to her, and he couldn't remember seeing this man there, although he was not happy in his heart, but in order to show his due demeanor, he still walked towards the table of the two of them.

"I'm sorry for the traffic jam, I'm late, and I've kept you waiting." As soon as he sat down in the chair, the male editor said excuses that could be forgiven, and he didn't take things too seriously. In his opinion, it is the other party who asks for himself, not for himself. Let her wait for herself, it is completely a matter of course.

"Shall we eat and talk? Waiter, a la carte. "Finally gave his responsibility for editing to Yumi Oshima, the reason why he brought Minamino Shuyi here is nothing more than two reasons. First, he also knew that he was interesting to him. It is not easy for her to refuse directly, but she has no scruples about the identity of the other party's editor, after all, she will continue to deal with him and this publishing house in the future. Second, she wanted to let Shuichi Minamino also see that her writing was still good. Otherwise, the editor in charge will not have a private contact with him to discuss the manuscript.

"Nope. I have other important things to do, I'm afraid I'll have to sit for a while and then leave. The male editor, who is disgusted with this kind of three-person date, on the one hand, clearly feels the embarrassment of the scene, so that she has a feeling that she is too ignorant of current affairs, and on the other hand, she has found a ladder for herself to go down.

Yumi Oshima, who quickly took out the manuscript of his novella, politely presented it to him with both hands and said, "This is a new work that I have just finished, I hope you can comment more." If there are deficiencies, I hope you can correct them in time. While I don't expect this novel to sell well, I hope it doesn't sell too badly. ”

And the male editor, who pretended to be surprised, looked at her with his head drooped, and pretended to be stupid and said, "Yumi, what do you mean by this?" I never said what kind of monograph the publisher was going to release for you! I guess you heard it wrong and understood it wrong! ”

"Didn't you tell ......me on the phone" Yumi Oshima, who was suddenly anxious, instinctively leaned in his direction a lot.

Before she could finish speaking, she was directly interrupted by the male editor: "Yumi, you are also an adult in your twenties." You should know what to do! No matter what the circle, it's not easy to mix. A rookie author like you, who has neither any fame nor any background in the literary world, is really difficult to get the publishing house to pay you to sell a single book. ”

"Sorry to bother you." Suddenly, two young girls in their twenties, one tall and one short, approached the table where the three of them were, and they said in unison with a little excitement and timidity.

"Excuse me, you're Shuichi Minamino!" The tall woman with the book "Pedestrian" in her hand repeatedly compared the real person in front of her with the photo of Shuichi Minamino printed on the book.

"Yes, I'm Shuichi Minamino. Excuse me, do you have something to do? Nanno Shuichi, who was originally sitting next to him, was completely transparent, and his attention shifted to the strange girl who was close at hand, and nodded.

They were overjoyed to hear such exciting news. After looking at each other, they hugged each other excitedly to celebrate. The short girl with the word "happy" written on her face first pointed to herself with her left hand, and then pointed to the friend next to her, and took the initiative to identify herself: "We are all your fans." Your novella, The Pedestrian, is fantastic. ”

At the same time, when the male editor heard the words of these two good-looking strange girls, he instantly remembered who the young man sitting opposite him was. So, one moment ago, he was still vivid, and the next moment his face changed, not only looked at Minamino Shuichi with a smile, but also was not in a hurry to leave. (To be continued.) )
