Nine o'clock in the morning, Spring and Autumn Co., Ltd.

"Mr. Itagaki ...... You...... Early ......"

The young girl at the front desk greeted Itagaki Kazuhiko, but when Itagaki approached, she was taken aback.

Kazuhiko Itagaki had two clear dark circles on his face, deep bags under his eyes, and he looked like he was about to die, but his eyes were shining brightly, and he looked radiant.

He wasn't the type to stay up late, and in order to stay up late to read, he drank several liters of strong tea, and the book "White Night Walking" made him extremely excited, constantly stimulating his nerves.

So although the body is exhausted, the brain is too excited.

"Miss Saito, good morning, is the minister here?"

"Mr. Kawaguchi, he hasn't arrived yet, what do you need me to tell you...... No, he's your direct leader, so it's easier for you to see him than I do! The front desk lady couldn't laugh or cry.

"That's right......"

Kazuhiko Itagaki shook his head and walked into the office.

First of all, there was a long morning meeting, and Kazuhiko Itagaki was groggy at the meeting, and it was not easy to stay up until the meeting ended, and Kazuhiko Itagaki saw the editor Nobu Kawaguchi and stepped forward: "Minister, I have a work that I hope will pass the next serial meeting." ”

Kawaguchi Shin was taken aback: "Itagaki, are you okay, look at your face is very bad." ”

"I'm okay."

"New works...... Come to my office. ”

The conversation between Kazuhiko Itagaki and Nobu Kawaguchi was overheard by others in the editorial department, and Shimada looked up and smiled at his colleague sitting across from him, "It's not going to be a social mystery novel again, is it?" ”

The colleague smiled: "Itagaki is not stupid to this extent. ”

However, half a minute later, a somewhat anxious and puzzled voice came from the minister's office: "Socialists again?!" ”

Nobu Kawaguchi grabbed his hair: "Do you know the small positive ranking of the social reasoning author you cooperated with this time?" The penultimate is worse than the flash report! First-to-last, we're ready to cut it in half. ”

"Let me tell you the truth, even your author has a lot of criticism about you, and he thinks that it is because of your encouragement that he has made up his mind to create social reasoning. He blamed his failure on the lack of vision of our editorial department, and will you experience the same failure a second time? ”

Kazuhiko Itagaki seems to have expected Kawaguchi to say, "It's true that I was blindsided, but after learning from the experience of the previous time, I am confident that the work I brought this time will be well received by readers." ”

Kazuhiko Itagaki added temporarily: "I even think it can get the Naoki Award." ”

Nobu Kawaguchi laughed angrily: "You are really getting ......"

He glanced at the name of the manuscript on the table: Bai Yexing, and asked, "Which teacher's work is this?" ”

"The work of Kei Fujiwara-sensei."

"I've never heard of that name."

"He's a very talented writer."

"What works have you done before?"

"I've read all of this novel, and it's perfect."

Nobu Kawaguchi was stunned, "It can't be a newcomer, right?" ”

Itagaki Kazuhiko cheekily said, "He's a genius. ”

"Is it a newcomer?"

Itagaki Kazuhiko pursed his lips: "...... Be. ”

Kawaguchi Shin spread his chair back: "Social, newcomer...... Itagaki, you're really going to give me trouble. ”

The Spring and Autumn Bun Appreciation is now gaining momentum, and sales are steadily rising, and it is expected to break the record of this magazine this year, so Kawaguchi is now particularly interested in the quality of his works.

So I will only ask for manuscripts from some powerful best-selling authors, and I am very cautious when I receive them, and I have already taken a risk to receive the manuscript of social reasoning, but the adventure has failed.

There's nothing to say about failure, but don't fall in the same place a second time.

"No, the manuscript is returned." Kawaguchi channel.

Itagaki Kazuhiko said: "Minister, please take a look at this novel, this is really a good work!" ”

"If you are a newcomer, let him submit the newcomer award, and when he wins, we will ask him for a manuscript, and ...... before that."

"This book is at the level of a ranbu reward or a straight wood award!" Kazuhiko Itagaki said categorically, "If we miss it, it's our loss." ”

Nobu Kawaguchi looked at Kazuhiko Itagaki with some surprise. In his impression, Kazuhiko Itagaki is not a person who likes to talk about it, and it seems to be the first time that he can be rewarded by Naoki for his direct and bold words.

Could it be that the last failure stimulated him? So now he is desperate to make a social work popular to prove his vision?

"Itagaki, in fact, a failure is nothing, you ......" Nobu Kawaguchi looked at Itagaki with a determined expression, and couldn't help but be infected by him.

"Okay, you put this work here, I can take a look at it, and talk about it if it's okay."

"Thank you, Minister! Please! Kazuhiko Itagaki placed the manuscript on the table and bowed deeply.

"Wait, there's more." Kawaguchi said, "Although your grades and qualifications are enough, because of the failure of the previous work, the promotion to the team leader is still postponed...... I hope you understand that your writers are at the bottom of the list, but you are promoted, and your colleagues will have complaints. ”

"I understand." Kazuhiko Itagaki bowed again, "I'm sorry for your trouble." ”

……

"How's this house?"

The real estate agent walked to the window, pulled the curtains, and a building appeared in front of him, blocking most of the sunlight.

"Well, not bad."

"Not bad what? Even the clothes can't be dried. ”

"Across the street is the women's apartment."

Fujiwara Kei said: "If you want to watch **, I can go to the video store and rent a disc." ”

This real estate agent's name is Tanaka, and he is considered to be Kei Fujiwara's senior, and after graduation, he couldn't find a job with a professional counterpart and became an agent directly.

In this book, the threshold for intermediaries to enter the industry is still relatively high, and they earn a lot of money. Tanaka doesn't have any artist obsession and is very satisfied with the work of an intermediary.

"Cut, how can renting a disc be as exciting as a live-action scene...... I'm kidding you. This house doesn't require you to have proof of employment, and the rent is the cheapest in the area. ”

"In the Ikebukuro area, the houses here are the most cost-effective."

"What about the downside?" Kei Fujiwara knows that a house in Tokyo can't be cheap for no reason, and it must be a little flawed.

In fact, Fujiwara Kei is now a little stretched, even if it is a murderous house, he can accept it, poverty makes people materialistic.

"The law and order is not good." Tanaka told the truth, "Because Kabukicho is nearby, there are many nightclub public relations who live here. There are also often drunks in the neighborhood, and sometimes there are fights, the most common being sexual harassment. ”

"But it shouldn't be a big problem for you. I remember you knew karate, right? ”

"Karate can't beat a wine bottle." Although he said so, Fujiwara Kei was still quite satisfied with this house, at least he could stay in Tokyo.

"Actually, this is also a good ......" Tanaka laughed lewdly, "I've checked, this floor is full of beautiful ladies, and the people who entertain in Kabukicho are all old men who can't get tough, so they must be in a very depressed mood!" Take advantage of the weakness to enter, but you can eat it! ”

"Tanaka-kun, if you continue like this, sooner or later you will be complained by customers."

Tanaka smiled: "You are underestimating me, I am the sales champion of our club this month." Seeing people serve dishes is our basic skill. ”

He walked over and patted Fujiwara Kei on the shoulder, "Go out and say, if you're not satisfied, I'll show you again, and the intermediary fee will give you a seven-percent discount." ”

"You said you're writing a novel right now, is there a publisher willing to publish your work?" The two of them casually found a small restaurant to eat, and Tanaka asked as he snorted and snorted soba noodles.

Fujiwara Keimichi: "Yesterday, the editor of the Spring and Autumn Bunko took away my work, and I don't know what the result will be. ”

"Well, it's good to have one more choice, it's really hard to find a job in the broadcasting industry right now." Tanaka shook his head and sighed, "I was deeply touched at the beginning, I finally got an internal referral job in Higashijimadai, but they actually assigned me to the Hokkaido branch, so I resigned, it is better to be an intermediary." ”

"Tokyo, ......," Tanaka suddenly sighed.

After Principal Wada separated, it was getting dark, and although Tanaka did not have a proper shape on the surface, Fujiwara Kei knew that his shirt under the American suit was soaked with sweat.

After separating from Kei Fujiwara, he hurried to serve the next customer, and everyone had such a difficult life.
