After returning home that night, Jiang Yu did not show any abnormalities, and Xiao Bury and Rita did not get to the bottom of it.

Just probably, both of them guessed the answer.

The girl did not express her thoughts in the past, and of course, she did not hide it. Perhaps in the girl's private conversation, she was also asked about this topic, and what answer she gave at that time is now unknown.

But if you want to ask the surrounding group of onlookers, if it is not surprising that these two people fall in love together, the answer is also a very clear and unambiguous no.

After all, the tacit understanding that these two people occasionally show really makes some people who watch the excitement or don't have that mind scratch their ears and cheeks, and they almost joke directly, "When are you going to get married?" "Something like that.

However, most of the time, due to Megumi Kato's precise grasp of the distance between the two, and Jiang Yu's deliberate or unintentional ignorance, they did not show the unique feeling of rejection and repulsion between adolescent girls and teenagers.

Over the next two days, Rita was a little depressed, but quickly managed to adjust.

In this regard, Jiang Yu didn't find out, but he thought that he had no position and no reason to comfort others at this time, so he behaved at home as always, without any waves.

At the same time, of course, ask him how he feels...... Probably a little confused, a little surprised, a little proud, and a little restrained.

Confusion, surprise, and pride all come from the other party's feelings that sprout at some point. And restraint, but it was his reason that made him understand that this was actually not something to be proud of.

After all, there are many feelings in this world that don't know what to do, go deep, and end without a problem.

What's more, the other party doesn't actually express much of that meaning on weekdays, and if Jiang Yu mixes in without authorization, it will just make both parties embarrassed.

As for whether the last person who is currently living in Jiang Yu's house, Zhenbai, understands or has been informed of the state of affairs, Jiang Yu can't see it. Because she behaved as elusive as ever, the whole person did not show obvious emotional fluctuations and changes. But it seems that in recent days she has been spending a lot more time in her room and painting than before. Occasionally, Rita invited her to go out for a walk, but she always refused very indifferently.

In fact, she has always tried to move forward on her own as a cartoonist, and recently she just seems to have a lot of motivation.

After Saturday's graduation ceremony, the admission list of the University of Tokyo was announced early on Wednesday. Jiang Yu, who was too lazy to look up the list on the Internet this morning, was dragged over by Xiao Bury to watch it.

Accompanied by Rita, Mashiro couldn't get up because she stayed up too late. After calling twice and not responding, the three of them went out on their own.

In the morning, the sun is just right, and the air is still a little cold of winter, so you have to wrap yourself in a scarf, but the cherry blossoms in full bloom on the streets and the street trees that show a thriving attitude all announce the overflowing smell of spring.

The three of them walked together for a few steps, and after a short time they arrived at the station, got off at the station of the same name as the university, and walked out a short distance to the iconic red door. The place where the list is released is set up not far from the red door.

Jiang Yu was somewhat puzzled about this behavior, which was like the release of the imperial examination list in ancient China, and felt that it was not in line with the living habits of modern people who are more and more accustomed to fast-paced and high information circulation. But along the way, he saw those peers in biological age, or secretly praying, or full of expectations, or worried in their hearts, and under the peace of mind, he was a little abrupt.

Compared with the "notice" and "release" itself, this kind of behavior is similar to a ritual. Moreover, the meaning expressed by the school is more "congratulations" than "you have been admitted".

It can be inferred from this that perhaps in some things, just a slight change of form can make it fade away from stiffness and seriousness, and become soft and friendly.

With the idea that this has nothing to do with this situation in his mind, Jiang Yu followed Xiao Bury, who was the leader in front of him, to the list of science subjects, and after spending a little time, he found his exam number in the lower right corner.

I have to admit that at that moment, his heart that he thought was calm still made a little wave, and it was fleeting.

Exhaling softly, Jiang Yu patted Xiao Bury and Rita in front of him on the shoulder, and said softly, "Found it, lower right corner." ”

The two of them followed the prompts to look for it, and after finding that the string of numbers that had been repeated countless times on the way here, they both turned their heads to look at Jiang Yu with some surprise.

"Congratulations, Yujun!"

"Worthy of my brother!"

The next moment, the two of them said congratulatory words at the same time, Jiang Yu smiled, nodded reservedly, turned around and said, "I've also seen the list, go home?" ”

Seeing that Jiang Yu didn't seem to be as excited as they imagined, or even as excited as the two of them, Xiao Bury and Rita looked at each other, and then caught up with Jiang Yu, who had already walked several steps.

Xiao Bury looked at the increasingly calm back in front of him, thought about it for a while, pulled Jiang Yu's sleeve with one hand, and asked hesitantly, "Brother, aren't you excited?" That's the big one! ”

Jiang Yu paused and said in a relaxed tone: "Actually, I'm excited, huh? ”

"Liar~!" After mercilessly exposing his brother's perfunctory lies, Xiao Bury showed the pestering appearance of being a sister for a long time, cleared his throat, and asked pretendedly, "Ahem, test!" test！ May I ask Jiang Yu, how do you feel about being admitted to the University of Tokyo? It is said that you didn't spend too much time studying before the exam, but it was really because the difficulty was too low and too smooth, so that you didn't feel it? ”

Jiang Yu turned around and glared at Xiao Burying, then glared at the position one step behind, looked at Rita here with a smile, thought for a moment, decided to cooperate with the early homecoming, and replied without any emptiness: "The accumulation of weekdays can largely replace the temporary review before the exam, and at the same time, it is not a good habit to ignore the effort to take it for granted because it is too smooth, and it is also unfair to other people who work towards the same goal." ”

However, in fact, he does not accumulate on weekdays, or rather, the process of accumulation is at the end of the memory that has begun to gradually blur into a ball.

It was a very nostalgic time, but I definitely didn't want to go through a second time.

"'The wood of the hug is born at the end of the millennium; The nine-story platform starts from the soil. ’”

"After that, it's time to build tall buildings and get excited."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the two to respond, Jiang Yu turned around and walked towards the entrance of the station quite chicly.

Xiao Bury stayed in place for a while, muttering in his mouth, "Brother, how can you usually be accumulating!" He was pulled by Rita and chased after him.

On the train, Jiang Yu chatted with Rita and Xiao Bury about some indifferent topics, and at the same time sent Megumi a message that he had been admitted.

When he was still preparing for the exam, he had talked to each other about this topic. Of course, at that time, he didn't think that he would confess with a brain fever for a while, and then smoothly communicate with the other party.

It's better to say that the whole process was a bit too natural at that time, but it made people lose their sense of reality.

However, if you consider that the other party is that Megumi after all, what is it about suddenly giving people the illusion of being full of reality?

With an involuntary smile on his lips, he chatted with his nominal and actual girlfriend for a while, and then the tram arrived at the station, and Jiang Yu also turned off his mobile phone and got up in time.

However, at this time, he noticed two straight lines of sight locked on him.

The smile on his face stiffened for a moment, and then Jiang Yu turned around casually and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Bury grimaced at his brother, snorted lightly and turned his head. Rita teased with a rather strange expression, pretending to be surprised: "It's nothing~ I just want to say that Yujun is also a boy~"

"No...... Is this the case now at this point, do you need to confirm it? ”

The corners of Jiang Yu's mouth tugged, and he complained.

"Eh......" Rita's expression turned pale for a moment, as if to say how could this person have such thoughts, "Why does Yujun have the confidence that he used to feel like a high school boy of the same age?" ”

"Didn't you? You're kidding, right? Hey——! Tell me you're kidding! ”

Faced with Jiang Yu's rare frantic and depressed expression, Rita showed a satisfied smile, pulled the person who was buried in the small buried, and took the lead to walk outside the station without hesitation.

Jiang Yu followed the two of them, and the frenzy and depression on his face suddenly turned calm.

That's it...... Means it's no problem, right?

He rubbed his cheek vigorously, and a faint sigh escaped from his throat. Ranwen

……

On the weekend of the last week of March, a magnificent building in Tokyo was used as the first floor of the "Red Zhu Project" office.

Jiang Yu walked into the depths with a calm expression in the eyes of the rest of the people, either curious or looking, and knocked on the room with the nameplate of "President's Office".

Because he was told that he could go in directly before he came, Jiang Yu just knocked politely, then directly twisted the doorknob and pushed the door open.

What catches your eye is a garbage heap that looks like a garbage heap, which is very different from the well-organized impression of an office. The materials piled up haphazardly, the machines placed in the east and west, and the adult women who are submerged in them, although they are not sloppy, can definitely not be said to be neat and polite.

The man heard the sound of the door opening, looked up, and grinned, "Yo, boy." I heard that you were admitted to the University of Tokyo? It's amazing! ”

Jiang Yu replied casually while looking for a suitable way forward: "Miss Akasaka, isn't this a tone of appreciation or admiration?" And I don't think it's that big deal. ”

"If you say that, the country's high school juniors will cry?" Akasaka Zhuyin easily ignored Jiang Yu's prickly words, "Although I really don't think that after entering the university, it will be helpful to you in the technical aspects of your future career direction." It is better to say that the most important thing is the construction of personal relationships, and how many alternative methods for other things should be used. ”

Jiang Yu walked up to Hongsaka Zhuyin's desk and replied with a smile: "Should I say that she is worthy of being a business queen who should have dropped out of college and created such a behemoth from scratch today?" It's just different. ”

Akasaka Zhuyin sneered: "I will think that I am a self-made person, but I am a real idiot." ”

The implication is that at the beginning of the establishment of the "Red Zhu Project", I am afraid that it was indispensable to accept help from various sources and various aspects.

After all, this is a society that is even more important than China, paying attention to class and human feelings.

Jiang Yu didn't care about the other party's ridicule, and said straight to the point: "So, where is the document that needs to be signed by me?" ”

"Ah, I almost forgot."

Akasaka Zhuyin slapped his head, as if he had really forgotten, and got up and began to rummage through the pile of papers that were pressed under his ass and folded up as a chair. This scene made Jiang Yu wonder if the call he received this morning was from the other party in person.

The reason why Jiang Yu came here today is to draw an end to the original job, or rather, to outline the beginning of the stroke.

After all, the identity he used to negotiate with Marz at that time was an employee of the "Red Zhu Project". In order to fulfill this initial lie, he will sign a temporary employee contract with the "Red Zhu Project" today, which will be valid until the end of last year, of course.

By the way, the industry's top creator and business queen, after the turmoil of cerebral infarction, slowly improved, and was finally able to be discharged from the hospital after the year.

Although after being discharged from the hospital, she was still reluctant to listen to the advice of doctors and friends, and she still went her own way in her daily style, but compared to the previous lifeless style, it was still a lot more relaxed.

After rummaging for a while, Hongsaka Zhuyin finally found the document that was not too thick under the one-liter wine bottle on his right, handed it to Jiang Yu casually, and said, "Look at it, if it's okay, sign it." ”

Jiang Yu nodded, took the document, and flipped through it casually. Then, his gaze suddenly froze on the last few pages, where the amount was written.

100,000...... Eight figures?!

Jiang Yu looked up at Hongsaka Zhuyin in surprise, and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter with this amount?" I'm not doing a job that is worth that, am I? ”

Hongsaka Zhuyin just raised his head and took a sip of wine, and said indifferently when he heard this: "After all, this is a copyright contract." "Global Chronicle" currently ships 530,000 copies in China, and the price is 8,500 yen, which is multiplied by 8% of my copyright share. In the end, 20% of it will be used as your agency fee. If you think it's less, you can tell me. ”

Jiang Yu made a numb face, and said in a dry tone: "The last ratio is too abnormal, and the penultimate one is actually not very normal...... ”

I worked as an agent for a month, and as a result, I took 15% of the other party's income, where did this come from?

Although in the past two years, the actual income brought to him by "Spring Things" has already exceeded eight figures, but suddenly getting a sum of money that is similar to his income in the past two years, or even more, Rao is Jiang Yu can't help but be shaken.

After all, he had never seen so much money in his previous life, even if it was converted according to the exchange rate, it was a huge sum of millions in his hometown.

After making up his mind, Jiang Yu thought of his plans for the future, and his mind of refusing couldn't help but be a little shaken. After thinking about it carefully, he looked at Akasaka Zhuyin and said fixedly: "Half! I'll only take half at most! Because I needed a lot of money for the next two or three years, I took it with a clear conscience. At the same time......"

Akasaka Zhuyin raised his eyebrows, slapped the table, and looked at it with a pair of eyes that were not fierce but very stubborn: "At the same time, you take the remaining half." ”

Jiang Yu was choked for a moment, and after being silent for a long time, he said, "...... Then I'll be considered a shareholder of Miss Akasaka. ”

Hongsaka Zhuyin nodded indifferently, pointed to the contract with his chin, and said, "If there is no problem, just sign it, as for the shareholding you said...... We can draw up an additional contract later. ”

Jiang Yu nodded yes, picked up the gel pen that was randomly placed on a pile of documents, and looked through the contract casually, ready to write down his name.

Then, when he wrote the word "Jiang" and even "Yu" next to the word fire, his expression was suddenly stunned and he put down his pen.

Akasaka Zhuyin raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?" Regretted it? As I said earlier, if you are not satisfied with the amount, you can change it yourself. ”

"Not ......"

Jiang Yu's tone was a little dazed, and he was also a little crying and laughing, as if he had a rare time at the table, but found that his opponent was playing from beginning to end.

He flipped to the pages behind the huge amount, pointed to the lead letters on it, and asked, "...... these payments?"

"Tsk."

Akasaka Zhuyin smacked his lips a little exaggeratedly, and then turned his head away from him.

Jiang Yu looked down at the pages of documents again—except for the temporary employment contract at the beginning, the next few pages were occupied by words such as the place of employment, the date of employment, the day of rest, salary, salary increase, and bonuses.

…… No matter how you look at it, it's a very ordinary regular employee contract.

As if he understood that his trick, which was not even a careful measure, had been recognized, Akasaka Zhuyin mocked in a rather unhappy tone: "You guy's okay, right?" Actually read all the corners of the contract thoroughly? What kind of creator are you? Don't stick to these minutiae as the real creator, isn't it? ”

"Don't replace all the other creators because you're very good!" Jiang Yu couldn't help but retort and complained, "And my behavior just now is the performance of ordinary people!" No problem! ”

Hongsaka Zhuyin was not weak, and could even say frankly: "These things are all good." It's only when I consider that there is also the possibility of using Kasumi Shiko and Kashiwagi Eiri in the future, so I think you are necessary for me. ”

Because you and I are the same kind of people, but it seems that you are better at getting along with creators with personalities than I am.

This sentence, Akasaka Zhuyin did not say.

Jiang Yu froze when he heard this, and he didn't know if he was happy to be the two who were indirectly recognized by Hongsaka Zhuyin, or if he felt helpless because of the other party's idea of being too preemptive.

He thought about it for a while, and wanted to knock on the table to emphasize his tone, but after finding that the desktop was full of various documents, he gave up this idea and said directly: "I'm still a student, huh?" ”

"It's good if you drop out."

Akasaka Zhuyin looked at him with a very strange gaze, as if to say how could this person be so worried?

Jiang Yu was speechless.

“…… Don't decide someone else's future. ”

Finally, he said this, tearing out the part after the temporary employment contract and signing his name.
