Hikasa Takeshi, vice president of Mandansha, turned his head and raised doubts to Kihara Daigo who was beside him.

Although he is the vice president of Mandanshe, due to the separation of management and management, he is not very clear about the specific affairs and administrative situation.

In Mantanshe, there are four major departments: Editorial Bureau, Public Relations Bureau, Printing Bureau, and Publishing Bureau.And even the editorial bureau has two categories: books and magazines, and magazines are divided into comics, fashion and literature.

As for Daigo Kihara, the department under his control has only two editorial departments of literary periodicals.

Because the volume is not large, this part of the business is not the main concern of Mantansha, so Hikasa Ken understands the affairs of literary and art periodicals, and his subordinates usually report at regular meetings.

He is not very clear about the grievances between Hiroto Akihara and Mandansha.

Hearing the vice president's question, cold sweat broke out on Kihara Daigo's forehead.

At this moment, he also realized that Akihara Hiroto's intentions were not good, and when he reported to his superiors about blocking the other party, he only said that he had taken some "measures" and did not elaborate.

How should I answer the vice president?

He hesitated for two seconds, saw Takei Kohei beside him, and immediately had an excuse.

"The deputy editor-in-chief Takei told me about this matter. As for dealing with the other party, he is also fully responsible."

Hikasa Ken, as the vice president, is not an idiot, so he immediately understood the loopholes in his words.

As a member of "New", why did Hiroto Akihara deal with Takei Kohei, the deputy editor-in-chief of "Tokyo Literature"?

But now is not the right time to ask questions, he frowned, and looked at Takei Kohei who was sitting on the other side, waiting for his answer.

Takei Kohei didn't expect that he would be betrayed by his superior immediately. He wanted to explain, but he hesitated after seeing Kihara Daigo's eyes.

If he offends this minister, his fate will probably not be much better than that of Kikuchi who was dispatched to Shikoku.

Takei Kohei hesitated for a moment, then faced Higasa Takeshi's probing eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "As for the specific situation of Akihara Hiroto, my subordinates will report clearly after the award ceremony."

Now is not a good time to answer, wait until later, and then carefully come up with a reason to fool the past.

No matter what, we must put all the responsibility on Akihara Yuuto...

Hikasa Ken was full of doubts. Although he wanted to ask clearly, he also knew that now was not the best time to ask questions, so he nodded and did not continue to ask questions.

While the three of them were talking, Hiroto Akihara had already talked for a while, and after expressing his gratitude, he briefly described his feelings about writing.

He paused again, then cleared his throat, turned his gaze to the partner of the publishing house, and continued talking.

"In addition to supporting my Reasoning Writers Association and relatives and friends, I am most grateful to Mandanshe. If Mandanshe hadn't accepted my submission at that time, maybe I would have thought that because I couldn't pay the rent, I would end up displaced. After my debut, the related resources have always been..."

Everyone in the audience nodded to Akihara Hiroto's words of thanks.

But at this moment, Akihara Hiroto suddenly changed his mind.

"However, a series of unexpected things happened to me."

With everyone's puzzled eyes, he continued.

"When I was about to release the booklet, the editor-in-chief of "New" was transferred to the Shikoku region. At the same time, my responsible editor was also assigned to other departments. However, the relevant personnel of the Mandanshe demanded it with a strong attitude. I went from "New" to "Tokyo Bungai" and even gave a string of reasons for the crown spring!"

Hearing these words, everyone in the audience was surprised. These words are no longer words of thanks, right? !

Why does it sound like an attack on Mandanshe?

The reporters squatting under the table to take pictures all became excited and began to take pictures one after another. For a while, the flashes came and went one after another.

The reasoning literature newcomer award winner was treated unfairly by Mandansha!

Big news, this is big news!

If it weren't for the acceptance speech time, they would have flocked to interview.

The three Mandansha people sitting in the audience also had different reactions: Ken Hikasa's frown deepened, Daigo Kihara's cold sweat kept breaking out, Kohei Takei gritted his teeth.

Bastard, who insisted that you go to "Tokyo Literature"! ?

Hiroto Akihara, don't spread rumors!

After finishing this part, Akihara Hiroto was silent for a while, making his expression look a little "sad".

In this way, my expression can be photographed more clearly by the newspaper, which further arouses the sympathy of the people!

At that time, regardless of whether Mantansha's ban on him is still useful, at least under the influence of the eyeball economy, the two books "Suspect X" and "Death of Reasoning" can at least sell very well!

Seeing that the time was almost up, Hiroto Akihara continued: "Faced with these unreasonable demands, I decided not to cooperate with Mandansha and published two works at my own expense, but to my surprise, Mandansha actually He once again threatened me to continue publishing articles in Mandansha's magazine."

"After I still refused, they even used business cooperation as a threat to demand that relevant media and newspapers should not report on my work, and blocked me!"

Hearing these words, most people in the field couldn't sit still.

A considerable proportion of the guests who came to the awards ceremony today are members of the Mystery Writers Association.

And one of the criteria for becoming a member of the association is a reasoning writer who has already debuted.

Also as writers, they were undoubtedly irritated by a series of "facts" that Akihara Hiroto said.

If you will be suppressed just by changing a publishing house, wouldn't the profession of writer become a slave of the publishing house?

And if other big publishing houses also learn this way, the purity of literature will undoubtedly be tarnished by commerce!

Damn Mandansha, what the hell are you going to do?

Do you want to unite with the other three companies to further squeeze the interests of writers!

While the writer was angry, the reporters in the audience became more and more excited. Some even wanted to rush to the stage to take pictures and ask questions, but they were stopped by the staff maintaining order.

Seeing that they couldn't take any useful photos, some peripheral reporters rushed to the partner's seat and took pictures of the three people sitting in Mandanshe.

Regardless of his identity, big news matters!

After filming for a while, the staff came running over and drove the reporters back.

By this time, Hikasa Ken's face had turned livid, Kihara Daigo's face was even paler, and Takei Kohei was even more angrily trying to tear Akihara Yuuto apart.

Using conspiracy and lies has always been his own means.

Unexpectedly, he was played by someone today.

But he found that he couldn't refute Yuuto Akihara's series of words. After all, although the other party lied, the personnel changes and banning were iron-like facts.

As long as you have the heart, you can find it out quickly!

Bastard, this is not easy to handle!
