One day, can I also reach this step!

[Chapter 116.116 Propaganda Function]

The signing session started at 9 am and lasted until 8:[-] pm.

Except for the 2-hour break at noon, Hiroto Akihara kept shaking hands, smiling and signing.

At the end of the day, he felt that the muscles in his right hand became a little stiff because of too many signatures.And the flesh on both cheeks also became a little twitching because of laughing for too long...

Fortunately, there is no need to bow repeatedly, otherwise the waist will be crippled...

Having said that, I really saw a lot of people today.

Hiroto Akihara slumped on the chair, recalling the many readers he met today.

Most of the readers who came to sign today are in Tokyo, but there are also those from surrounding cities.

There was even a reader from Nankaido, who did not know where he got the news, and came here after a long journey... It surprised Hiroto Akihara, but also moved him a little.

In addition to the different regions of origin, the readers who came to the scene also included a variety of people, and some of them were even more exotic.

A young man in overalls held Akihara Yuto's hand tightly when he was signing the signature, and he refused to let go, sobbing: "How could you send Ishigami to prison?!

Although Hiroto Akihara could partially understand his feelings, he still felt bored. After all, he was not gay, and it was not comfortable to be held by a man for so long.

Just when he was considering whether to forcefully push him away regardless of his demeanor, Satake Maki and another female shop assistant named Sugihara Aisa hurried forward, saying "sorry" while pulling him away.

This made Akihara Hiroto heave a sigh of relief.

After all, if he really pushed the opponent away, who knows if there will be rumors that he is playing big names...

"Teacher Akihara, you have worked hard today." Satake Maki walked over and handed over a bottle of drink, "Please drink some water to quench your thirst."

Hiroto Akihara took it and found that it was a bottle of oolong tea. He said "thank you" and unscrewed the cap to drink.

After taking a big sip, Hiroto Akihara straightened up and asked a question: "How many books did the Yamazaki Bookstore sell at today's signing event?"

Satake Maki hesitated for a while, and replied, "About 600 copies."

"That's all?" Hiroto Akihara was a little puzzled.

After all, he could keep signing signatures non-stop. Even with a conservative estimate, he had signed at least a thousand or more names.

Satake Maki nodded, and then explained: "Mr. Akihara, apart from the books you signed, quite a few of the books you signed were bought and brought by readers before. Moreover, the situation at the scene has exceeded our unexpected."

"Prior to this, President Anjiu and I thought that only 3 to 400 people would come, but I didn't expect that at least 1000 people came today."

Satake Maki paused again, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Akihara, from this point of view, it is already a great success!"

Hiroto Akihara was not so happy. In his opinion, he only helped sell about 600 copies.

In this case, if you want "Suspect X" to sell more than 10 copies, is it possible to hold more than 200 signings? !This efficiency is too low!

Seeing Yuuto Akihara's expression, Maki Satake seemed to guess what he was thinking, and took the initiative to persuade him: "Mr. Akihara, the impact of the signing will not be what you think."

"Huh?" Hiroto Akihara was a little confused.

Maki Satake straightened his expression, and said in a serious tone: "Although the signing event can promote sales, the more important point is to help you get closer to the readers, so its essence is a kind of publicity."

Hiroto Akihara lowered his head and thought about it. He recalled all the readers he met today, and some even came all the way here, so there is indeed some truth.

Satake Maki continued: "Readers who get your signature will be more convinced by you than ordinary readers. Therefore, these readers will also recommend your works to their friends around them."

"Taking today's signing event as an example, there are at least a thousand readers who will spontaneously recommend your work to their relatives and friends."

Hearing these words, Akihara Hiroto was stunned. He didn't think of this, but a term "fan circle culture" from his previous life suddenly appeared in his mind.

Therefore, today's signing will still have a certain effect, he nodded to show that he understood.

Seeing that Akihara Yuto's expression relaxed, Satake Maki also showed a smile, "Mr. Akihara, President Yasuhisa asked me to apologize to you. He had to leave early due to something."

Hiroto Akihara replied: "I see."

It seems that he can only go back by tram. After all, the money from "Suspect X" has not been returned yet, and he is still in a state of cash, so he really can't afford to take a taxi a few times.

At this time, Satake Maki thought about it, and tentatively asked, "Do you want to take my car?"

When he found out that he could ride a car, Hiroshi Akihara was so kind, he immediately agreed.

Immediately afterwards, Hiroto Akihara, along with Maki Satake, said goodbye to other staff members and left Yamazaki Bookstore.

……

"Editor Satake, is this your car?" Hiroto Akihara's mouth twitched involuntarily.

In front of him was a painted black cruising motorcycle. This motorcycle was 180 centimeters long and the seat was 80 centimeters high.

In addition, the engine and frame of the motorcycle are exposed, which looks like a wild feeling.

Satake Maki took off the helmet hanging on the handle, put it on, then opened the trunk, took out a helmet and handed it to Akihara Yuto, "Huh? Teacher Akihara, what's the problem?"

Hiroto Akihara took the helmet, hesitated for a while, and put it on carefully, after all, life safety is the most important thing.

In his mind, his impression of Satake Maki has changed drastically, what is this?Are you a cute motorcycle girl?

But after thinking about it carefully, he found that it was not too strange.

In Neon, many people use motorcycles as their work tools. After all, although the price is not very cheap (similar to a second-hand car), there is no need for parking fees and other car miscellaneous fees.

Then, Satake Maki sat in the front seat, and Akihara Yuto also sat in the back seat.

After confirming that both of them had their feet on the pedals, Satake Maki turned the key and pressed the clutch with his left hand.

After a low "engine sound", the motorcycle started slowly and headed towards Chiyoda District.

Hiroto Akihara, who was sitting in the back seat, was a little embarrassed in the oncoming wind.

After all, when a man and a woman ride a motorcycle, their bodies will inevitably come into contact. He can even feel the body temperature of the girl in front of him.

In order to avoid the suspicion of sexual harassment, Hiroto Akihara could only clamp the body of the motorcycle with his legs, and put his hands on his thighs honestly.

But what he didn't notice was that Maki Satake, who was sitting in front, had a bright smile on his face...

[Chapter 117.117 The Old Hen Laying the Golden Egg]

After more than 40 minutes of driving, the motorcycle quickly arrived at Chiyoda District, which is the doorstep of Hiroto Akihara.

After stopping the car, Akihara Yuto got out of the car, thanked him, and returned the helmet to Satake Maki.

"Mr. Akihara, you have worked hard today." Satake Maki said to Akihara Yuto who was opening the door.
