Late autumn, early winter.

In the early morning air in Tokyo, while the heat has dissipated, it has also added a bit of coldness.

Jiang Qian came to his office early, and through the floor-to-ceiling windows, he looked at the endless traffic on the street, at the steel boxes that never stopped coming and going on the tracks, at the office buildings in Tokyo, and at the old shrines hidden somewhere in the unknown that seemed to have the smell of incense.

"Whew-"

A short knock on the door sounded, Jiang Qian exhaled lightly, rubbed his eyebrows that were vaguely painful, and said in a deep voice, "Please come in." ”

He only booked one guest this morning.

A guest who can help him get a foothold in this bustling city.

The door lock movement turned, unlocked and closed quickly, and an ordinary-looking young man walked in. The young man wore a black suit with a plain white shirt and blue tie, and a pair of glasses with only a bottom frame on the bridge of his nose.

The only thing that can make people feel that this person is slightly different from others may be the small dull hair on the other person's head that sways in the wind.

Jiang Qian walked to the desk and sat down, pointed to the rotating chair in front of the solid wood square table, and said with a smile: "It's really hard to trouble you to come over so early." Please sit down first. ”

As half of his own people, and as collaborators who know each other well, they don't need to pay attention to the negotiation methods in those shopping malls.

Because from the very beginning, both sides are clear about each other's bottom line and how far each can go.

The purpose of his visit this time is to officially sign a letter of intent with the newly established "Miracle" in the name of "Jianghe Software".

Of course, it doesn't really mean to cooperate or anything, but just to formally express an attitude to the outside world that the new company has a backstage.

That's all.

As for if there is a conflict of interests between the company and "Miracle", will "Jianghesoft" contribute? The answer, of course, is yes. But how much to contribute is a somewhat ambiguous question.

After all, Jiang Qian's coming to Japan this time only represents his own will and that of the old man who is far away in Tianshui, China, not "Tianshui", a behemoth in the Chinese Internet industry.

Under such a premise, Old Man Jiang and Jiang He are naturally limited to what they can contribute.

Jiang Qian naturally understands this, so he doesn't have much expectation of "Jianghe Software" in these aspects, or even relies on emotions.

Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement.

Whether it's entrepreneurship or anything else, connections are important, but what is more important is always your own hard power.

After going through the contract from beginning to end, Jiang Qian picked up the pen on the table and prepared to sign it.

In fact, in the final analysis, what they are doing now is just a face-saving process. As soon as this contract was drawn up, Jiang Qian had already let the professional legal staff look at it, and after confirming that there was no problem, there was today's meeting.

Although he is not very old, he has been helping in the family business since he first entered college, and he really has a lot of experience and experience in business management.

Not to mention, he majored in economics and management when he was in college.

Doma took one of the documents, glanced at the place where he had signed it, nodded, and retrieved the bundle of bound white paper into his briefcase.

Suddenly, Tsuchima Ohira seemed to think of something, and the movements in his hands did not stop, but he raised his head, looked at Jiang Qian, and asked with some curiosity: "Have you already talked to Xiao Yu?" ”

Jiang Qian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then immediately shook his head with a smile and explained, "Our side has been discussing the specific authorization contract with the Immortal River Library recently. ”

In business, intention is intention, and contract belongs to contract. No one can be sure what will happen until the contract is formally signed. And even if the willingness of the two sides to cooperate is extremely strong, when it comes to the specific distribution of interests, there are inevitably all kinds of temptations and consultations.

Immortal Chuan Library and this newly established miracle company are in such a process.

But at the same time, Jiang Qian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and secretly said that his cousin really didn't seem to be like the one he occasionally heard from his grandfather when he was in Tianshui.

After all, who would have thought that a young man in his second year of high school would be able to write a light that sells 500,000 copies in half a year?

At the end, Jiang Qian added: "Moreover, in the past few days, it seems to be exactly ...... It's a cultural festival at my cousin's school, and I plan to wait for a few days to pass, and the contract over there should be almost negotiated, and then I will discuss the specific details with my cousin. ”

He was still a little unaccustomed to calling Jiang Yu his cousin.

Tsuchima Dahei nodded, hesitated for a while, but still opened his mouth to remind: "When discussing with Xiao Yu, just have an ordinary atmosphere, don't be particularly close, and don't deliberately put pressure on you." The kid...... How to say that? For things like reading atmosphere, I'm pretty good at it or ...... Sensitive, right? ”

The predecessor is indeed as he said, very good at looking at the atmosphere. But in the same way, it seems to be a bit maverick from the beginning of the country, and it can even be said that the predecessor of the autism has never seen through this aspect of things. In the same way, I will not go out of my way to cater to the atmosphere of the class.

This also leads to the fact that until the beginning of the second year of high school, the only thing that can be regarded as Jiang Yu's friend is the waste material protagonist who looks like a harem to the work, and at the same time contradictoively has a strong execution of the senior otaku.

Jiang Qian raised his eyebrows in some surprise and nodded in response, "I understand." ”

Doma Dahei pushed his glasses, and a smile appeared on his unremarkable face: "By the way, it's okay to call it ordinary, it's okay to call it by name, that kid doesn't care too much about this." ”

Jiang Qian nodded with a smile again, signaling that he understood.

At the same time, he also quietly began to sketch a new image of the cousin he hadn't seen for several years.

……

"Brother~ Can't I really go to your school's cultural festival?"

Standing at the entrance, Xiao Bury, who was wearing a school uniform, pulled Jiang Yu's sleeves while deliberately acting obediently.

Jiang Yu shook his head resolutely and resolutely, knocked on his sister's head, and said angrily: "I said it before, today is Friday, even if you want to come and see, you have to do it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." ”

Cultural festivals.

It refers to the festival activities that appear on campus and are similar to the art festival that is open to the public. Worldwide, due to the spread of ACG culture, it is natural that the Japanese cultural festival is the most famous.

Cultural festivals are not held on a specific day, and the day on which they are held varies depending on the situation of each school. However, it is usually held in the second half of the year, and in the case of three-semester schools, most of them choose to hold cultural festivals in September after the summer vacation.

For example, Otonogi Kisaka Gakuin where Muse and others studied, Sakuragaoka High School, where HTT and others studied, and Mizutaka, where Mahaku is located, basically held cultural festivals at that time.

And Feng Zhiqi's situation is a little different.

For three consecutive days starting this Friday, the name circulated among students was "Cultural Festival", but in the official statement, it was "Fengzhiqi School Celebration".

Under such an official name, it also leads to the programs at the Fengzhiqi Cultural Festival, which are slightly different from the programs of ordinary schools.

Or rather, a little more formal.

Some clubs that are obviously like nonsense, and some nonsense programs held by them, cannot pass the review of the student union at all.

Of course, this is also the main reason why Lunya was able to suddenly become a campus celebrity last year - who let even Feng Zhiqi Academy, which prides itself on its extraordinarily free school spirit, never hold a screening of anime skewers at a cultural festival before?

"Okay......"

After hearing the negative answer again, Xiao Bury lowered his head in some frustration, and gently circled his left foot on the ground, which looked a little distressed.

In this regard, Jiang Yu sneered and ruthlessly exposed his sister's performance: "How many times do you think you have used this set in front of me?" How can it take effect every time? ”

To be precise, except for the first few times, Jiang Yu can easily see through Xiao Buried's performance, the difference is only that he debunks it or not.

And this time, his choice is clearly the latter.

Xiao Burying's body shook when he heard this, then he raised his head, puffed out his face, snorted dissatisfiedly, and turned his head to look at the wall that was not very unusual.

The belated Mashiro looked at this scene a little strangely, blinked his eyes, and said in a flat tone: "Bullying is not right. ”

Jiang Yu raised his forehead and sighed, and said weakly: "The word 'bullying' can't be used here, right?" ”

Zhenbai looked out slightly, thought for a few seconds, and changed his words: "It's not okay to bully." ”

Jiang Yu completely lost the desire to correct Zhenbai's statement, raised his hands and surrendered: "Yes~Yes~ Of course bullying is not good, and bullying is not right...... Anyway, why can't you just see this as a small conflict between brothers and sisters due to a slight disagreement? ”

"Disagreement...... Little Skirmish ......"

Mahaku muttered these short sentences softly a few times, then nodded seriously and said, "I understand." ”

"No, don't you accept this statement so easily?!"

"Jiang Yu, it's really troublesome."

"I'm never the one who troubles, right?"

"Huh? Is that a small burial? ”

"Huh? No, no, no, no matter how I think it's not a troublesome girl, right? ”

“…… I think I have the right to dispute that. ”

"Ernie sauce!"

……

"It's so good~~! I also want to participate in the cultural festival~~! ”

Honogo lay on his back on the plastic bench, staring straight at the ceiling, and sighed with a slight envy.

Hai Wei, who was sorting out his belongings on the side, heard this, and immediately retorted: "Sui Naiguo, you have also participated in the cultural festival before, right?" ”

"Huh~~?" Hono sat up suddenly, "But I've never participated in a cultural festival at another school!" ”

"Ahaha...... Nan Qinli was keenly aware of the blue long-haired girl's gradually ugly complexion, and inserted herself into the conversation between the two with a haha, "This is also something that can't be helped, after all, everyone is still a student, so you can't skip school to participate in cultural festivals...... Something or something, right? ”

"Birdie, that weird pause at the end of your sentence...... Are you really ......?"

Suinoka's eyes widened, and she pointed at Nanqin Li, who was smiling a little shyly, with a look of surprise.

"Birdie ......"

Hai Wei also turned his gaze and looked at his friend who had played since he was a child with a complicated expression. As a friend, and as a sharp-minded girl, she has actually been aware of some abnormalities in Nanqin Li's words and deeds for a long time.

And until recently, that anomaly, after the integration and coordination, turned into a guess that made her a little shy and a little surprised.

In other words, it is no longer a guess, it is almost an established fact.

"Hehe......" Nozomi Tojo saw Nanqin's embarrassment, covered his mouth and chuckled, and gave his own suggestion, "In that case, let's take a day off tomorrow and go to the cultural festival of Yujun School together, right?" ”

Hai Wei frowned, and said with some hesitation: "But, training ......"

Nicole, who had been in front of the computer screen from the beginning, said without looking back: "The next game is not too early, right?" ”

Nozomi Tojo didn't answer, turned his head and looked at Eri with a smile, and asked, "What does Eri think?" ”

"Huh? Ask me? Eri didn't seem to be in this club room, and looked around a little confused before responding, "If I think so...... Everyone has been working so hard lately, so it's okay to have a day off, right? ”

"This ......" Hai Wei was still a little hesitant, but in the face of the current situation that most of the people present agreed with, he couldn't think of any reason to refute it.

What's more, she is not at all interested in the cultural festival of Fengzhiqi Academy. And even if she's not interested at all, she has to think a little about her childhood sweetheart's mood, right?

Although Nanqin Li hadn't said anything since just now, Hai Wei's gaze pretended to casually glance at the other party's cheeks a few times, and easily read the expectation and even nervousness hidden under the calm on the surface.

"Huh? Are you talking about something? ”

Coincidentally, the three first-grade girls who had gone to the bathroom together also returned to the activity room, and before pushing the door open, they also heard a little whispering from inside. In this regard, as soon as Starry Sky Rin came in, he raised his right hand and expressed his questions.

Nozomi Tojo smiled and nodded: "Yes, everyone is going to participate in the cultural festival of Yujun School tomorrow with a day off~"

"Eh~~ It seems to be fun!" Starry Sky Rin's eyes widened instantly when she heard this, and her tone became a little excited, and then she turned her head and looked at the other two behind her, "What do you think of Hanayo's affinity and Mahime-chan?" ”

"It doesn't matter."

Mahime is still the same old look, playing with the hair on the sideburns, with an indifferent expression. But if you are familiar with him, such as Kotofuki, you can see a slight nervousness under the calm expression of the other person.

Hua Yang snorted for a moment, and said timidly: "I...... I'm also a little interested...... After all, it's that Fengzhiqi Academy......"

As a well-known private school in Chiyoda Ward and the entire city of Tokyo, it seems that in the eyes of students from other schools, there is a sense of mystery that they want to explore.

Of course, due to the relationship between a "tenth muse" who is inconvenient to reveal his identity but in fact everyone knows who he is, all the girls are more or less interested in the higher school that they have never visited.

Sui Naiguo took in the expressions of the other eight people, and a look of understanding flashed in his eyes. Then she raised her hands and said with a smile on her face, "Then it's decided!" Tomorrow everyone is going! ”

“……”

Silent.

Sui Naiguo lowered his hands a little sneeringly, and looked at Haiwei with inquiring eyes. The blue-haired girl smiled helplessly, and said, "Then as the price of tomorrow's rest, let's practice a little more today." ”

"Huh~~~?"

As soon as the words fell, the unwilling voices of several girls instantly sounded in the activity room, followed by unreasonable or justified begging for mercy, and the activity room was filled with happy air.

Not long after, under someone's long-term accumulation, these inconsistent voices were suppressed. At this time, someone said quietly: "Should we tell Yujun first?" ”

After the girls looked at each other, they couldn't help but set their eyes on the same person.

And the girl, who was the focus of attention, was naturally stunned, and let out a crisp wail like a birdsong.

……

"Xiao Wei, why did you come so early today?"

As soon as Mio Akiyama walked into the music classroom, he saw Yui Hirazawa, who was sitting in his seat with a fascinated expression, and asked curiously.

Hirasawa raised his head a little confused, and after glancing at who was coming, he fell back in despair, and said vaguely, "What...... It's Mio...... The alarm clock at home broke this morning, so I thought I was going to be late, so I rushed all the way over......"

"Uh......" Mio Akiyama tugged at the corners of her mouth, and it took a long time to suppress her desire to complain, "Regarding this, Xiao Yui, wouldn't it be good for you to look at the time on your phone?" ”

"Huh~~~" Yui Hirasawa sat up straight all of a sudden, and looked at the black long straight Ji hairstyle girl not far away with a surprised face, "It turns out that there is still this trick!" ”

“……”

Mio Akiyama kept hinting at herself, and as if she hadn't heard what she had just said, she walked to her place and sat down with a blank face, took out her textbook, and reviewed it.

Yui Hirasawa's sleepiness seemed to be completely disturbed by the brain circuit that had become clear for a moment just now, and after looking at the slightly old wooden ceiling for a long time, he suddenly patted his head and said, "I almost forgot, today is the cultural festival of Yujun School, right?" ”

Mio Akiyama also raised her head in some surprise, took out her mobile phone to confirm the previous chat history, and said affirmatively: "That's true, and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow too." ”

"That's ......" Yui Hirasawa nodded thoughtfully, and just as Mio Akiyama was about to continue reading, she suddenly said in a loud voice, "Then let's go to the cultural festival tomorrow!" Cultural Festival! ”

Mio Akiyama, who was so frightened by this sudden loud voice that she almost threw the pen out, stroked her violently beating heart, and said a little weakly: "It's not impossible, you can also ask Yujun to confirm everyone's practice level." ”

"yes, yes~~!"

Hirasawa raised his head a little proudly, obviously quite proud of the idea he had just come up with in a flash of inspiration.

In this regard, Mio Akiyama had to remind: "I have to ask Xiaolu and Wei Wei what they think first?" ”

Yui Hirasawa hummed softly, shook his head, and nodded his head, not knowing whether to listen to it or not.

Mio Akiyama sighed again, secretly saying that this kind of thing, it was better for her to ask the other two by herself later.

As one of the most responsible people in HTT, the hardships of her daily life (especially the club band activities) are really not enough for outsiders.

……

"Michiru definitely wants to skip class and go to An'an to visit the cultural festival, right?"

Mizuhara Wise Ka, the bassist in "icytail", supported Michiru with his elbow and smiled teasingly.

The short-haired beautiful girl suddenly woke up from her contemplation when she heard this, and hurriedly defended: "Who, who would think like that!" ”

"Yo yo~" Suwon Wisdom Jia let out a tone of disbelief, "She said so, oh, hour~~"

"Hmph~~" Ji Chuan, the guitarist in "icytail", shook his head, sighed and said, "Xiaomei is also in the spring period~ You clean up, Lanzi?" ”

Lanko Morigaoka, the drummer of "ICYTAIL" and the leader of the band, nodded silently in agreement. Seeing this, Suwon Zhijia directly finalized the band's course of action for tomorrow: "Okay! Then let's go tomorrow! ”

"Pro~~"

Ji Chuan raised his hands, as if to strengthen the weight of his words.

Morigaoka Lanko nodded again, looking at the stunned Michiru with a "everyone is for your good" expression.

“…… You don't even ask my opinion, do you? ”

A moment later, Michiru let out a faint, feeble sound.

Naturally, no one listened. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Programmer in the Two-Dimensional Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
