Chapter 040: Women's War (Part II)

There is a kind of Kitagawa Kako, who was forced into a corner by Hanano Sakura, and also showed a Jedi counterattack, and said aggressively: "Is your fiancé really working as an editor at the Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House?" ”

"Is that still fake? Literature and Art Spring and Autumn Publishing House is the N0.1 in our industry in Japan. Do you have anything to ask my fiancé for? Like, publishing a book? Submission? Since we're all so acquainted, just ask. Sakura Hanano, who fell back and leaned back in her chair, said in a victorious manner.

"No, you don't. I just wanted to ask, does your fiancé know the editor in charge of their publishing house, who has a big pie face, a lot of pockmarks on his face, wears highly myopic glasses, and is called Chie Sakai? Staring at her with both eyes is Kitagawa Kako, who looked at it again and again, and it seemed to be a light mention, but it was actually a needle in the cotton.

"Of course I do. It is precisely because of Sakai Chie's ugliness and perverse personality that the men at the publishing house often laugh at her behind her back. Whenever they had dinner in the publishing house department, they would deliberately forget about her. Suddenly, it was Hanano Sakura, who sat up straight, and the confidence in speaking seemed to be very insufficient than before, but she continued to make up nonsense as she continued.

Kitagawa Kako, who didn't hide it, and directly "giggled" out of her voice, felt as comfortable and restrained as drinking a warm hot drink this winter, and unceremoniously exposed her lie and said: "Sakura-chan, you still haven't changed at all." You are competitive and always want to crush me underneath and never turn over. It's a pity ......"

She deliberately paused for a moment, spread her hands at Hanano Sakura, and continued: "The reason why I said the opposite before, was just to test you. First, you don't know Miss Sakai at all. Not only is she not ugly, but she is also very beautiful. Not only that, but she is also a rich daughter. Second, this is enough to show that your fiancé probably doesn't work in the Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House. Otherwise, as an editor, he would not have failed to know Miss Chie Sakai, who was in charge of the editor. Thirdly, not only do I have a very good relationship with Ms. Chie Sakai, but she also comes to my house every week. ”

Sakura Hanano, who was exposed by her lies and blushed like a burning cloud, thought that there was still a chance to reverse the situation that was not in her favor and regain her lost face, and smiled coldly: "I admit that I told a part of the lie." It's true that my fiancé doesn't work as an editor at Wenyi Spring and Autumn Publishing House, but he also works as an editor at another publishing house. As for what you say, it may not be true! I really don't believe you're better than me. Since you keep saying that your husband is a writer, then you should name some of his specific works for us to hear! Don't be a person who is raised by you, who will only sit at home and can't do anything, but can only eat soft rice. ”

"Thank you for your concern. You're going to be disappointed, though. As for the name of Takeshita Kusaokesa, I don't know if you have heard of it? At your level, you won't have heard of it. Since your fiancé is an editor, you should have heard of it! Takeshita Kusashi is the most potential and dazzling rising star in the Japanese literary scene recently, and the man sitting in front of you is him. His published works have caused quite a stir, but the short stories "Rashomon" and "In the Bamboo Forest", as well as the novella "Childhood Sweethearts". Kako Kitagawa, who held her head high and felt very proud, stretched out one hand to the side of Takeshita Kusakei to gesture. Kill her by yourself is a falling flower and a piece of armor without leaving a way.

"I'm sorry, we were rude first, and I hope you will forgive me." Hanano Sakura's fiancé, who had been silent, put his hands on his thighs, bowed to Takeshita's side, and still couldn't believe it, and suddenly interjected in fear: "Are you really the writer of those novels, Mr. Takeshita Kusaoke?" ”

"The teacher didn't dare to be. Those clumsy works are the work of despicable people. Like him, he was silent, looking at the two women in front of him who were squeezing the mustard under the bamboo, as a big man, it was really difficult to get involved in their disputes and worsen the contradictions. Now, he finally got such an opportunity to speak.

"I really didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet the teacher today, it's really a blessing for three lives. I've read almost all of your short stories published in various fiction publications, as well as your first novella, Childhood Sweethearts. As one of your fans, my favorite of your short stories "Rashomon" and "In the Bamboo Forest" is the most. These two works are really well written, comparable to Maupassant's "Ball of Sheep Fat". Sakura-chan's fiancé, who admired him very much, quickly took out his business card holder from his coat pocket, and took out a business card of his, and presented it with both hands.

Takeshita Kusaoke, who also took it with both hands, first looked at the information on the front of the business card, and then looked at the north side and blurted out: "Jun Oda, the editor in charge of the trend publishing house." I'm sorry, I've only heard of New Wave Press, and I really don't know what your publishing house does? Could it be that your publishing house is another company under the New Wave Publishing House that has carried out detailed classification? ”

"We're just a small publishing house. It has no affiliation with a large publishing house like Xinchao, so it is even more difficult to compare it with the industry's leading literary and artistic publishing house. Mr. Takeshita hadn't heard of it, and it was normal. In my heart, I wanted him to contribute to his own Oda, and of course he was very optimistic about his future development potential in the Japanese literary world and even in the world literary world.

If I can establish a certain personal relationship with the other party now, then when he becomes famous and famous, he can also say something so that he can get the manuscript from him or something, which is not only conducive to improving his performance and status in the society, but also helps the publishing house to enhance its popularity.

Otherwise, their publishing house will always be able to publish only a few novels by fourth- or fifth-rate, or even little-known authors. Only when the popularity of publishers and publications increases, and the more popular readers gather, it will be easier to attract all kinds of advertisers to come and ask for their own product advertisements, so as to promote the economic benefits of the publishers.

Oda knew that if he could get the first release of the other party's next short story, it would be a great contribution to their publishing house. After all, their publishing house is the most famous writer in the industry, and the signed works published are the most famous, and they can't beat the current Takeshita grass mustard.
