tokyo writer

If a writer really dissatisfied with Akihara Hiroto's treatment came to make trouble, his own career future would undoubtedly be affected.

What can he say when the minister or other specialists are held accountable?Are you saying that this is caused by helping newcomers promote their works?

It is estimated that they will be scolded by then.

Hiroto Akihara is just a newcomer after all, I hope he can accept this reality.

This decision was a bolt from the blue for Asano Aiko.She looked at Matsushima and Hiro's smiles and remained silent without speaking, but her palms were tightly clenched, and her nails were all sunk into the flesh.

She opened her mouth, but finally said nothing.

Now that the editor-in-chief has made a final conclusion, any objection would be blatant disobedience to the orders of the superiors.

But she was still puzzled and angry, obviously "Xiaoshi and Yoko" is the most outstanding work worthy of publicity!

[12.Chapter 12 showings and bars]

Hiroto Akihara knew nothing about Asano Aiko's frustration. He was looking at the house at the moment and was planning to change his place of residence.

On the third day after signing the contract, Mantanshe's accountant transferred the manuscript fee to his account.

After receiving the bill, Hiroto Akihara took out 10 yen, first paid the rent, and then bought a thank you gift for the administrator.

During this period of time, his writing speed has also increased. It took only 5 days to write the stories of "Seven Rooms" and "SO FAR" in the serial series. The speed surprised him a little. .

With enough manuscripts, he decided to give himself a few days to deal with trivial matters. After all, although the rent of the residence is cheap, the environment is too bad, which seriously affects his sleep and work.

Therefore, in order to write better, he has visited Mantanshe's writer's office a lot during this time, and he also met a common friend whom he could talk to.

But this is not a long-term solution, so he went directly to the real estate company he had seen before.

After explaining his budget and needs, the real estate company sent an intermediary brother in a suit and leather shoes to take him to a single-family house on a street in Wenjing District.

When we arrived at the destination, the broker opened the door of the courtyard and said politely, "Qiu Yuan, please go this way."

Hiroto Akihara nodded, stepped in, and began to look around.

This detached house is RB's traditional housing "one-household construction", consisting of a small courtyard plus a parking lot, and a 3-storey house.

The yard doesn't look very big, and the side facing the street is even more narrow, and it extends to the back, which looks very narrow and long. There are some flowers and plants in it, but it seems to be a bit messy because no one takes care of it carefully.

On the left is the family parking garage, which is made of red bricks and has a small area. It is estimated that it can accommodate a car and a motorcycle.But for Hiroto Akihara, it is currently used as a utility room.

He looked around, then looked up at the street, and found that there was no traffic, and it was relatively quiet.

Seeing the expression on Qiu Yuan's face, the intermediary brother who was standing by the side breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the economy is not good and house prices are falling every day, not only no one is buying a house, but there are also fewer renters. It's a little stressful.

But he still needs to work harder, he quickly put on a smile, opened the door of the house, and said with a smile: "Qiu Yuan, please take a look at the house type here again."

Akihara Hiroto followed him at the entrance, took off his shoes, put on his boots, walked in, and listened to the introduction.

The actual area of ​​this room is about 90 square meters. The first floor is the entrance, corridor, bathroom, toilet and stairs, and the second floor is the living room and dining room. As for his bedroom, he has to climb the stairs to the third floor.

It sounds good, but it’s a bit troublesome when you think about it. If you want to go to the toilet after waking up, you have to walk from the third floor to the first floor, not to mention going up and down at home every day. It may cost a lot to climb the stairs stamina and time.

However, the environment here is relatively quiet, and the rent is not bad.

Seeing Hiroto Akihara hesitated, the intermediary brother couldn't help becoming nervous.

After thinking about it, he decided to use his trump card, and persuaded him: "Qiu Yuan, if you decide to rent this apartment, we can come forward to negotiate with the landlord and reduce the key money."

Hearing this condition, Akihara Hiroto was a little moved.

To rent a house in RB, in addition to signing a new rental contract, you have to pay the landlord "gift money" and "fujin" of unknown meaning.

"Key money" is completely literal. A sum of money is given to the landlord as a gift to obtain the qualification to live in this house, which is equivalent to 1-2 months' rent.

And "fujin" is a deposit, the amount is almost the same as the gift money. When the time comes to check out, if the landlord finds that the house is damaged, he will deduct the repair part from the fujin and return it.

After the previous expenses, Akihara Hiroto now has only 16 yen in savings.

Although it is said that after the official serialization, the subsequent manuscript fee will be obtained soon, but for now, it can save a lot of money.

Akihara Hiroto and the other party said that they understood, and then tactfully said that they would think about it again. He planned to find a few more real estate companies and look at a few more houses before making a decision.

Under the regretful eyes of the intermediary brother, he politely said goodbye, walked towards the station, and prepared to take the tram home.

Today's writing tasks have not been completed, so let's hurry up.

……

"Akihara-san, I have your call."

As soon as Akihara Hiroto walked downstairs, he was stopped by the administrator uncle. He didn't even go upstairs, so he followed him to the direction of the management room.

Who is it this time? He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Picking up the microphone, he heard the noise of music on the other side of the microphone, thought for a while, and asked politely: "Hello, I'm Yuto Akihara, may I ask if you are..."

"Akihara-san, I...don't help you win the publicity...I'm sorry."

A familiar female voice came from the opposite side, it was Asano Aiko, only the other party's voice sounded a little drunk.

What publicity?Akihara Hiroto looked puzzled, but knowing that now was not the time to explore this, he tentatively asked: "Miss Asano, have you been drinking?"

"Well, I'm in a bad mood... I drank a little at the bar."

"Do you have any friends next to you now?"

"No... only... I am alone."

Hiroto Akihara became a little worried. A beautiful girl went to the bar to drink alone. Although it could be guessed that she was frustrated at work, it was a bit worrying.

He immediately asked: "Miss Asano, where are you now?"

The microphone was silent for a while, "Akihara-san, are you worried about me...I'm safe here..."

"No, I have an important job with you now, so I need to see you immediately." Akihara Hiroto interrupted her directly.

After saying this, he held the microphone and waited for a while, and when he was a little anxious, he heard the voice from the microphone.

"Sorry, Akihara-san... I was a little dizzy just now. I'm at the Wine bar in Nishi-Shinjuku [-]-chome, Shinjuku District... But it's better to find me tomorrow for work. I'm afraid I can't handle it right now."

"No, this job is more urgent now."

After saying this sentence, Hiroto Akihara hung up the phone, thanked the administrator and went out again. If the other party was really drunk in a place like a bar, there would be real trouble.

He walked to the nearest main road, waved a taxi and rushed to the destination that Aiko Asano said - the RB taxi fare was so expensive that he felt distressed, but now he couldn't care about the money anymore.

After more than 20 minutes of driving, he arrived at his destination.
