Early the next morning, Li Xi went out early and went to the place where he had made an appointment with Kameda's editor.

Li Xi is a Hong Kong native who used to work as a reporter in an entertainment newspaper in Hong Kong, but he offended the club boss by exposing the scandal between a certain club boss in Hong Kong and a famous movie star in the entertainment industry, and even the newspaper could not protect him, so he had to quit his job as a newspaper reporter and take refuge abroad.

Because Li Xi offended the club bosses because of his work, the newspaper finally gave him a generous settling-in allowance and introduced him to Kameda, the editor of Japan's "Weekly Bunharu". After Li Xi came to Japan with this settling-in allowance, because he met Kameda's editor, he quickly returned to his old job and provided scandal photos for "Weekly Wenchun".

At yesterday's fireworks display, Li Xi originally just went to have a good time and see if he could have an affair by the way, so he didn't bring his own camera, but he didn't expect to meet Nanami Hashimoto who was dating Qianye. Originally, the picture of just seeing Chiya and Nana Hashimoto kissing was very beautiful, and I wanted to shoot it out of the reporter's instinct, but I didn't expect that what I took was a photo of Nana Hashimoto, a TOP member of Japan's now hot girl idol group Nogizaka 46, dating a man and having close contact.

Out of the instinct of an entertainment reporter, Li Xi hurriedly followed, wanting to take clearer photos, but because Nana Hashimoto and Qianye bought masks to cover their faces and the limited camera function of mobile phones, they did not take enough clear photos. This made Li Xi very annoyed at the same time, but also a little worried, wondering if the Kameda editor would pay for these photos.

After coming to the café where he had made an appointment with editor Kameda, Li Xi ordered a cup of coffee and waited anxiously for the arrival of editor Kameda. Taking advantage of the time before the editor of Kameda came, Li Xi flipped out the photos taken on his mobile phone again and checked them one by one.

Looking at the blurred photos, Li Xi was even more annoyed in his heart, regretting why he didn't bring a camera and missed such a good opportunity. Although the original newspaper introduced himself to the editor Kameda, he is not now an official reporter of "Weekly Bunharu", and if he can get the appreciation of "Weekly Bunharu" with this news, he can become an official reporter of "Weekly Bunchun", but now it is only a matter of luck.

Launched in April 1959, Weekly Bunharu was the largest circulation of any of Japan's major general weeklies. Since then, circulation has been declining amid the downturn in Japan's magazine industry. With the goal of turning gossip into a magazine, Weekly Wenchun has been frequently reported on political issues, economic issues, corporate issues, scandals involving bureaucrats or politicians' contributions, scandals of artists, murders, and other social events. The stance is conservative and right-wing, and most of the political and economic reports hold traditional Japanese values, and have reported accusing the Japanese crown princess Masako of luxury and gluttony in her private life, exposing Kato Kaichi's resume fraud, etc., and repeatedly breaking the news about the private lives of various Japanese artists, including the ** behavior of Kitagawa, the president of Genesys Office, the underground love affair of AKB48 and its sister group members, etc., "Weekly Wenchun" has also repeatedly attracted accusations of false reports by relevant party firms because of its breaking news articles.

But this is not a problem for Li Xi. As a former entertainment reporter who was forced by the club boss to stay in Hong Kong because of reporting scandals, for Li Xi, he is not afraid of the bad reputation of the newspaper, but he is afraid that the newspaper will not dare to report. As a veteran in the industry, Li Xi knows that although the rules of the Japanese entertainment industry and the Hong Kong entertainment industry are different, the basic things are still the same. The more controversial the topic, the more attention it attracts and sales, and as long as the newspaper has sales, you can be paid handsomely as a journalist. As for offending people, if you are afraid of offending people, Li Xi will not be forced to come to Japan because he offends the bigwigs of the association because of reporting scandals.

While Li Xi was thinking nonsense, Kameda editor finally came belatedly.

"I'm really sorry Li Jun, I'm late because of the traffic jam on the road." Although editor Kameda apologized to Li Xi with an apologetic look, there was a trace of disdain hidden in his eyes, for this Hong Kong reporter who came to Japan because he offended him, if it were not for the sake of face and favors, editor Kameda would not have ignored him at all. This time, I heard Li Xi say that he took a photo of Nana Hashimoto of Nogizaka 46 dating a man, and the Kameda editor came to meet him, and if the photo is true, he doesn't mind rewarding him with a bowl of rice. Thinking about it like this, editor Kameda said to Li Xi: "Li Jun, did you really take a photo of Nana Hashimoto of Nogizaka 46 dating a man yesterday?" That's valuable news! ”

Li Xi hurriedly nodded and said to Kameda Editor: "It's true, yesterday I saw a couple kissing on the Azuma Bridge, because I thought the couple kissing under the fireworks was very beautiful, so I took out my mobile phone and took a picture, I didn't expect that couple to be Nanami Hashimoto and her boyfriend." It's just a pity that my phone's camera function is not working, and the photos taken are blurry. Li Xi said as he took out the photo on his phone and handed it to the editor Kameda.

"It's a pity, Li Jun, why didn't you bring a camera! What a pity! Editor Kameda took the mobile phone handed over by Li Xi and blamed, faintly dissatisfied with the professional quality of this Hong Kong reporter who didn't even bring a camera when he went out. But Kameda's editor still hid his dissatisfaction very well, with a hypocritical smile on his face, looking at the photos that Li Xi had secretly taken.

Looking at the photos taken by Li Xi, although the editor Kameda was ecstatic in his heart, his face was still impassive, and he said in a perfunctory tone: "Oh, although it is true that Pie took a photo of a kiss, but such a blurred face is too recognizable, and it is difficult to use it as evidence!" ”

Kameda's editor's words made Li Xi panic suddenly, although he cursed Kameda editor in his heart, Li Xi still pleaded with Kameda editor with a sincere look on his face: "Kameda editor, you can help, these photos should still be usable, right?" Although the face is a little blurred, at least the recognition is still there, as long as you don't name your name when you report it, it's okay, right? ”

"Now it seems that this is the only way, but in this case, there is no way to give you the normal price, I will give you half of the money at most." Kameda's editor had already decided to buy the photos, but he was still holding down the price, because the less he gave, the more he could get out of it.

"Half is too little, isn't it?" Li Xi's face was bitter, and the price given by Kameda's editor made him unacceptable, so he said to him: "If that's the case, I still won't sell it, let's find another place to see." As he spoke, he made a gesture to retrieve the phone from Kameda's editor.

"Li Jun, don't worry! Things are still negotiable! The Kameda editor hurriedly held down Li Xi's hand, knowing in his heart that if he didn't give Li Xi a little benefit, he wouldn't be able to get this big news, so he said to him: "That's it, I'll post a little more privately and give you sixty percent of the market price." However, I can introduce you to become the official reporter of our "Weekly Wenchun", what do you think, Li Jun? ”

Seeing that Kameda editor offered such conditions, although Li Xi was still not satisfied with the price, but thinking of being able to become the official reporter of "Weekly Wenchun", Li Xi still nodded and approved Kameda's bid: "Then please Kameda editor!" ”

——————————————

After getting the photo in Li Xi's hand, the editor Kameda hurried back to the newspaper office and found his editor-in-chief to report the big news.

Although the editor-in-chief also felt that the photo was too blurry to recognize who it was, for a newspaper like Weekly Wenchun, this was not a problem, as long as the face was marked with a mosaic and an ambiguous title like X's, it was an excellent piece of journalism. So at the behest of the editor-in-chief, Kameda quickly concocted a report that was very powerful from the headline to the content, and with blurry photos, a headline was soon released.

After the editor-in-chief reviewed it and found no problems, the headline was quickly sent for typesetting, and Kameda was naturally rewarded by the editor-in-chief. Such a good thing naturally made the Kameda editor happy, of course, he did not forget the existence of Li Xi, for a newspaper like Weekly Wenchun, it is not a big deal to have an extra reporter, after mentioning it with the editor-in-chief, "Weekly Wenchun" has another official reporter.

After making an appointment with a few close colleagues to celebrate together, Kameda routinely sent the report to Sony Music along with the photos. Although "Weekly Wenchun" does not have the habit of taking down reports, routine advance notice is an industry rule, and even "Weekly Wenchun" does not dare to violate it.

Although he earned a lot of money as the editor of Weekly Bunharu, Kameda did not buy a car due to the traffic congestion in Tokyo, and commuted to work by squeezing the subway and train every day. Occasionally, when I need to work overtime, I also take a taxi and have a newspaper for reimbursement. The Kameda editor, who had come out of the newspaper office, thought about the nightclub to go to after drinking in the evening, and walked towards the subway station. However, he didn't notice that there was an out-of-control pickup truck coming in his direction at an unusual speed.

Kameda editor was happy, standing at the intersection about to cross the road, watching the traffic light on the opposite side turn green, Kameda editor didn't pay attention to the vehicles on both sides, so he took his steps, but was awakened by a horn sound, looking at the small truck rushing towards him, Kameda editor couldn't react, and was knocked out in an instant.
