Jiang Yu smiled, and said in a half-mocking and half-serious tone: "This is inevitable. After all, I never thought that Kasumigaoka-senpai would be the kind of person who would always care about the psychological state of the people around her......"

He's not stupid.

From the brief sentence just now, he roughly figured out the main purpose of the other party's invitation to come out today.

It's not something that doesn't fit the other party's style at all, it's not the development of an eight-o'clock TV series like "I have something important to tell you", and of course, it's not a completely nonsensical thing like "dating".

The other party, as a senior in the same school, and even more so as a senior in the writer's circle, came here to mention himself.

No, it may not be appropriate to say that it is a point, but it may be more accurate to say that it is to care, the care of the seniors to the juniors.

And this kind of care can be seen from the previous Twitter message. And, the reason why that Twitter can cause such a heated discussion, in addition to the identity of the best-selling author of Kaixiagaoka Shiyu, there is also a special reason - the other party has never promoted anything on any social platform.

Even if it's her own work, it's no exception.

Yes, Kasumigaoka Shiba is a popular writer who has sold well since his debut, but he has never recommended or promoted any work on Twitter. Even if sometimes there is a request for publicity from the publishing house, Machida Yuanko, who knows her temperament, has helped her block it.

Moreover, although Machida Enko never told her about the news, the smart girl, through the clues on weekdays, did not spend much effort to deduce this fact.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu, who is not good at expressing feelings and true thoughts in front of people, naturally can't run to his editor and say words of gratitude. But all of this, this girl, who is essentially a fairly pure creator, still remembers it.

This may also be the reason why even on weekdays, no matter how much he dislikes the editor who verbally dislikes him, Kasumigaoka Shiyu still gets along with each other.

This time is no different.

The time is slightly pulled back to one day in early May, Machida Yuanzi, who had just come out of the president's office with a pile of papers, sighed helplessly.

What she had been worried about before, it happened.

As the president, Kawashima Yasano, for publicity considerations, hopes that she can let Ms. Kasumi Shizi cooperate with the publicity work of the publishing house.

It is said to be "hope", but the tone is almost similar to "notice", and there is basically no room for maneuver.

Since it was a direct request from the president, Machida Enko was not easy to block back. Moreover, this kind of behavior, whether it is in the publishing industry or other industries, is actually quite a normal thing. Whether it is "bundled sales" or "fans circulate with each other", all in all, the purpose of this kind of publicity method is nothing more than to increase the sales of the work.

And this is a sparse and ordinary thing for other writers, but for Kasumigaoka Shiyu, it is a little difficult to accept.

Obviously a contemporary light writer, Kasumigaoka Shiyu seems to have a bit of the style of ancient literati, and for his works, he has a little confidence that "the fragrance of wine is not afraid of the deep alley".

Or rather, to think more of a writer than a word merchant. I will not promote my work all over the world, I will not accept any written interviews, and I will not deliberately hype it in order to seek higher sales and higher profits.

This is quite commendable.

At that time, Machida Yuanzi, who had been persuading her for a long time, watched the official release date of "Love Metronome" approaching day by day, but Kasumigaoka Shiyu was obviously very worried, but her face was still strong and light, and she still went to school on time every day.

While Machida Yuanzi couldn't cry or laugh in her heart, she also admired this girl who was still in high school.

After all, one always has to have a little ridiculous persistence, or spirituality, don't you? Even if it's just a little bit.

Of course, emotions belong to emotions, work belongs to work, and Machida Enko was quite unoptimistic about the "Love Metronome" that had just released the first volume. It's already like this, it's a niche innocent campus love story, and now I don't even want to publicize it, and it's hell if I can sell it!

Then, as Machida Enko expected, the work gradually fell out of stock, and there was no sign of reprinting at all, and the senior editor who was familiar with Machida Enko also made an assertion that the three volumes were cut in half.

However, after the release of the second volume, sales suddenly increased due to a strong recommendation from an avid fan on his blog, and it became a popular work. At that time, it made the Immortal Chuan Library scramble for a while, contact the printer, and urgently reprint.

In this way, after the completion of the work, Kasumigaoka Shiba became a best-selling author with more than 500,000 copies of his works sold without any real feeling.

If you have strength and achievements, then your unit and boss will naturally pay more attention to you. This is common in all walks of life.

That's why Kawashima Yasano, the president of the Immortal Kawa Library, paid so much attention to Kasumiko's new work, the purpose was to completely stabilize the popularity of this new best-selling author, especially after he got the editorial department's comments on his new work, and he was ready to train Kasumi Shiko as a signature writer of his publishing house.

After returning to his office, Machida Enko sighed for a long time, but still told Kasumigaoka Shiyu about the news, and hoped that the other party could cooperate with the work of the publishing house.

After all, Machida Enko, who knew how much the Immortal River Bunko valued this newcomer's reward, naturally didn't want Kasumigaoka Shiwa to make such a mistake that might be called a "political mistake".

However, to her surprise, the girl who thought she would have to use her words to persuade was neatly agreed to the request to cooperate with the promotional works, and agreed to the additional requirements for some works that needed to be piggybacked on this newcomer award.

Machida Enko, who was strange at the time, looked at the top of the Immortal River Bunko Newcomer Award page on her computer screen, and after the name of the peerless one, she raised her eyebrows and nodded thoughtfully, and at the same time, showed a playful smile.

However, before she could put her inner thoughts into reality, Kasumigaoka Shiyu took the initiative to end the call between the two as if she knew her thoughts.

The cleanness and decisiveness of the action is simply staggering.
