After hearing this sentence, Awazu Hideki's eyes became serious, he straightened up, bowed deeply again, and made a request that Akihara Hiroto was a little surprised.

"Teacher Akihara, I would like to ask you to join "April Youth"!"

[59.Chapter 59 Little Actions]

Awazu Hideki's expression is very sincere, his voice is also very powerful, and his bow is very wide, which looks very sincere.

Akihara Hiroto was a little surprised when he saw his behavior, but he wasn't too surprised.Although a deep bow often means sincerity, but Neon society uses it too frequently, making it difficult for him to take it seriously.

Just like in the previous life because of the Fukushima nuclear accident, the prime minister and the relevant responsible persons bowed deeply and apologized, but anyone who knows the sincerity of the other party can basically understand it.

Hiroto Akihara decided to refuse, but seeing Hideki Awazu sweating profusely from waiting under the sun, he thought it better to let the other party have a sip of tea before declining.

He took out the key and opened the door, and said politely, "Editor Awazu, please come in first before we talk."

Awazu Hideki also realized that his actions might be too forceful, so he could only bow and accept Akihara Hiroto's invitation, bowing his head slightly and politely replied "Excuse me".

Afterwards, he and Akihara Yuto went to the entrance to change their shoes, and walked to the living room on the second floor.Hiroto Akihara asked him to sit down and made a cup of tea in front of him.

Awazu Hideki took the tea, first expressed his thanks, saw Akihara Hiroto sitting across from him, and then continued to speak in a candid voice: "Mr. Akihara, please think about it, we "April Youth" sincerely invite you. "

He came prepared today.

In order to obtain Hiroto Akihara's address and information, he spent a lot of energy, and even opened up some relationships within the Mantan Club, and did some less visible things.

But he believes that what he has done is valuable.

Although some people think that Hiroto Akihara doesn't have many works and is just a short-lived genius, but he thinks that since he is a genius, he should be recruited first.

Thinking of this, his voice became more sincere.

"I also know about your current treatment. Therefore, our conditions are that the royalties for the booklet will be increased to 16%, and the manuscript fee per page will be 10000 yen. If there are other losses, we are willing to bear it."

Hiroto Akihara was a little surprised. This condition was much higher than his income in "New Novel", or in other words, the increase was almost doubled, so it could not be regarded as a small amount of money.

But he was not tempted. After all, he even rejected "Tokyo Literature", let alone go to other publishers' literary journals.

After thinking about it, he decided to tell the truth: "Thank you very much for your kindness, but I still hope to cooperate with "New Fiction", so I'm sorry."

But to his surprise, Awazu Hideki's expression did not change, but smiled and said: "Mr. Akihara, can you tell me the reason for your refusal?"

"Sorry, it's not convenient to disclose." Akihara Yuto refused, after all, the other party is not from Mantansha, and he didn't want the other party to know too much.

Unexpectedly, Hideki Awazu said directly, "Is it because of editor Asano?"

Hearing this sentence, Akihara Hiroto was momentarily in shock.

Why would he know?

He was about to ask, but unexpectedly, Hideki Awazu continued to say, "Mr. Akihara, do you think that your cooperation with Editor Asano is really a good thing?"

Hiroto Akihara was even more puzzled, he thought the other party was threatening.

But he changed his mind, the other party was not an employee of the Mantan Club, so there was no threat, right?

Awazu Hideki took a sip of tea, "Mr. Akihara, for "New Novel", you are currently the hottest writer, and your talent is even more irreplaceable. But editor Asano is not like that. There is no one who can replace her. There are quite a few, so..."

Akihara Yuto frowned, "So?"

"It is not ruled out that some people will be jealous of editor Asano and make some small moves."

Awazu Hideki put down his teacup, fixed his eyes on Akihara Yuto, and said seriously, "What should you do then?"

"May I ask how did the editor Awazu know about this?" Hiroto Akihara was still a little skeptical.

"Mr. Qiuyuan, as competitors, we always have some tricks, but it is inconvenient to disclose the details, please forgive me."

Akihara Hiroto raised his head, took a closer look at Awazu Hideki, and found that the other person's expression was very natural, and he didn't seem to be talking nonsense.He thought for a while, and began to seriously consider what the other party said.

He thought that as long as his grades were better, he would help Asano Aiko, but he didn't expect this to happen.

If someone really wanted to deal with Asano Aiko, what would the other party do?

Awazu Hideki seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and said bluntly: "Mr. Akihara, no matter what your plans are, you are an author after all, and your relationship with the publishing house is only a cooperative relationship. If you intervene rashly, you will only treat Asano as the editor. more unfavorable."

He lowered his voice: "In the process of helping "New Novel", what kind of feedback did "New Novel" give you? Did it give you a higher concession in terms of manuscript fees and other bonuses?"

Hiroto Akihara shook his head, and retorted: "The editorial department has promised to discuss with me later, and also gave me a bonus."

Awazu Hideki nodded, showing a somewhat meaningful expression, "It means that the official manuscript fee has not been determined yet."

He paused, and then said in a positive tone: "Mr. Qiuyuan, there are other things that are closely related to your interests, but it is not convenient for me to tell you. But please believe that, as long as you are willing to come to " April Youth, all the conditions I promised are still valid."

"All in all, as long as Mr. Qiuyuan makes up his mind, you can call me at any time, and "April Youth" will always open the door to you!"

What he said was very honest, and Akihara Yuto couldn't say anything. Although he was very concerned about the "other aspects" he said, he was too embarrassed to ask, so he nodded and said, "I understand."

After Awazu Hideki finished speaking, he stood up and bid farewell. His goal had been achieved, and a nail had been planted between "New Novel" and Hiroto Akihara.

As for whether Hiroto Akihara will come to "April Youth" in the future, it can only be said as fate.

Akihara Hiroto also stood up and sent him away, then returned to the desk, sat on the office chair, looked out the window and meditated.

This editor Awazu said a lot today. Although you can't believe everything, you can't ignore it.

It is reasonable to say that only the insiders of Mandanshe know my address, but the other party actually got it. This is a question that makes people think deeply.

However, what the other party said made some sense. If someone used some tricks because he was jealous of Asano Aiko, how should he deal with it.

And who is most likely to do so?

At this time, two names suddenly came to his mind...

[60.Chapter 60 don't worry]

Although Hiroto Akihara vaguely guessed the person most motivated to do this, he didn't think of any solution for a while.

If it was aimed at himself, he would just walk away with a shake of his hand. After all, his ability has been recognized by the market to a certain extent, and at worst he would jump to "April Youth" or other literary journals.

But if the other party is targeting Asano Aiko, he is not very good at interfering.

After all, as Hideki Auzu said, he is just a writer, and the editorial department is just a cooperative relationship.

But to be honest, he thinks that Hideki Awazu might be exaggerating too.

First of all, Kikuchita has shown his favor frequently recently, and even entrusted Asano Aiko to bring bonuses and promises.

In addition, in terms of the sales of "New Novel", although he doesn't want to boast, his own role is indeed crucial, and he himself has stated and hinted to many parties before that the responsible editor he identified can only be Aiko Asano.

In addition, if the other party wanted to play tricks on Asano, he had to go through Kikuchita. After all, he was the editor-in-chief of the editorial department and had the right to transfer personnel.
