But because of the lecture just now, everyone on the field did not have any objection.

Seeing that everyone had sat down, Mie Seto ordered the servants to bring up the remaining dishes, and then said to everyone: "The hospitality is not good, please feel free."

She glanced at Yuuto Akihara, and said, "Teacher Akihara, please tell me if it doesn't suit your taste, and I'll ask the chief chef to cook a few more dishes."

Hiroto Akihara immediately thanked and said: "It's already very rich, it's too much trouble for you, it's really troublesome for you."

Mie Seto smiled, nodded, and went to communicate with others.Although she attaches great importance to Qiu Yuan, she cannot ignore other people.

Hiroto Akihara didn't join the conversation. He lowered his head and looked at the sashimi suspected to be bluefin tuna in front of him. The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

In his previous life, he had read some news that the top-quality bluefin tuna cost 30 yen per catty, so the dish of sashimi in front of him was comparable to his contribution fee for an article, right?

He couldn't help thinking about how much money Mr. Seto earned through royalties.

He thought about it, and gave up the plan of asking. After all, asking about income, whether it is Neon or Huaxia, can be regarded as a bit taboo. It is better not to know some things than to know.

After feeling his own poverty, Akihara Hiroto turned his "sorrow and anger" into appetite and moved his chopsticks.Seeing his actions, Seto Mie showed a satisfied smile.

Everyone enjoyed the food while drinking and chatting.During this process, Ishiiyou and others asked Akihara some questions about reasoning techniques, and Akihara Hiroto also answered them one by one with what he had learned in his previous life.

In the spare time for answering, time passed slowly, Akihara Yuto glanced at a few other acquaintances: Imamura Yuto had drunk too much, and he lay on the seat directly, and the sect association Yuma said nothing, and he didn't know where he was. what to think.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, the sky outside the window was completely dark. Hiroto Akihara glanced at the unconscious Yuuto Imamura and felt worried.

Mie Seto noticed his movements and said empathetically, "Mr. Imamura often gets drunk. I have already arranged a place to stay here. Mr. Akihara, do you want to stay here too and leave tomorrow morning?"

Hiroto Akihara shook his head and declined politely: "Thank you, Sensei Seto, for your kindness, but I still have something to do here, so I won't bother you. I'll just find a taxi by myself."

He didn't bring any change of clothes, and he didn't really like living in other people's homes, and he always felt uncomfortable sleeping in a bed that wasn't his own.

Mie Seto didn't force it either, but said politely: "It's already late, let my driver take you back."

Hiroto Akihara was surprised, but also felt that it was indeed late, so he accepted the other party's kindness.

……

After bidding farewell to Mie Seto and the others, Hiroto Akihara got into a limousine led by a middle-aged driver named Kotaro Nishikawa.

The car slowly drove out of the courtyard gate and started to accelerate.

Hiroto Akihara was sitting in the back seat. He glanced at the driver whose face was flickering under the changing light. He suddenly remembered the story "The Reasoning Taxi" he published on the Internet, and felt that the atmosphere suddenly became a little scary. .

He coughed, and decided to talk to him so that he wouldn't think about it.

"Nishikawa-san, how long have you been working at Seto-sensei's house?"

The driver continued to drive, and after confirming that there was no problem with the road conditions, he replied: "Mr. Qiuyuan, I have been driving for about 20 years, so you don't have to worry about safety."

Seeing that he was misunderstood, Akihara Hiroto immediately explained: "I'm sorry, Nishikawa-san, I'm just curious what do you think of your job? Why are you always willing to only be a driver?"

He is really a little curious. RB society pursues a lifetime employment system. Once many people enter a company, they will work until they retire.It's fine if it's a big company, the benefits are there after all.

But as far as he knows, even employees of some small companies, such as the private employees of the Seto family, generally do not leave easily. Even if the job is boring, the salary may not be very high.

The driver shook his head and responded: "A great writer like you naturally doesn't understand our little people. Now that I have a stable job, I don't know how many people are envious."

After saying this, he began to talk about the experiences of the people around him, and Akihara Yuto also listened carefully, and gradually understood a lot of things that he didn't know before.

Since the economic crisis, a large number of neon local companies have declared bankruptcy and closed down, and those that have not closed down are laying off employees vigorously. After losing their source of income, many families have to choose bankruptcy and liquidation because of the debt they owed from buying a house.

Around this Xi Chuan-san, there are many such cases.Some people choose to divorce, shoulder all the debts by themselves and wander on the streets; some people have no money, find a rooftop and jump off.

There are very few people like him who can have a stable job in Tokyo.So he thanked the Seto family from the bottom of his heart, and had no intention of leaving at all.

Hiroto Akihara nodded, and at the same time reflected on himself, feeling that he had lived a very comfortable life recently, and forgot that he had suffered a lot when he first came to this world.

He sighed, but didn't say anything, after all, his position didn't allow it.

To be honest, although the economic crisis is a disaster for Neon, it is a blessing for Huaxia.

During the economic bubble period, Neon's stock index level rose by leaps and bounds, which attracted the attention of the whole world.Some domestic scholars even suggested that they should learn from Nihong in terms of banking and foreign exchange systems, and increase the opening of the financial market.

Fortunately, when we were just discussing, Neon ushered in an economic crisis. In this crisis, the West continued to add insult to injury.

These current situations have made the country immediately vigilant, strengthened the regulation of the financial market, and avoided repeating the mistakes of RB.

After the economic crisis, RB ushered in a lost 30 years.In order to avoid the depreciation of wealth, many neon companies have invested their funds in Huaxia, accelerating the pace of Huaxia's economic growth.

So although I feel that the families that Nishikawa-san said are pitiful, Akihara Yuto will not say much. After all, if this economic crisis really does not exist, Huaxia does not know how many detours he will have to take.

He lost interest in chatting for a while, leaned back on the seat and closed his eyes to rest.

After 40 minutes, the car drove to Chiyoda District, and soon arrived at the gate of "Yihujian" where Akihara lived.

Hiroto Akihara said hello and was about to leave, but the driver suddenly stopped him and handed him a book.

Taking advantage of the dim light, Hiroto Akihara took a look and found that it was "New Novel". At this moment, the driver spoke again:

"Mr. Qiuyuan, my daughter is your reader, can you please sign me?"

Akihara Hiroto was a little surprised, but still nodded and signed his name.

After signing the name, he bid farewell to the driver and returned home. After a simple wash, he lay on the bed.

The only thing left to consider is Mantansha's literature award...

[74.Who is the winner of Chapter 74 Grand Prize? ]

On the afternoon of the Mandansha Newcomer Awards Ceremony, Asano Aiko drove her light-colored car to pick up Akihara Hiroto who was waiting at home.

She glanced at Akihara Yuto who had changed into a formal suit and had a refreshing hairstyle. She felt that he was a little more handsome after dressing up, and her face became hot involuntarily.

Hiroto Akihara didn't know what she was thinking. Seeing that the road the car was driving didn't seem to be going in the direction of Mandansha, he asked, "Asano, isn't the announcement of the Mandansha Literary Awards in the headquarters?"

Asano Aiko immediately realized that she had forgotten to tell Akihara the specific itinerary, so she explained: "Akihara, Mantansha's literary award is arranged at the Yosuga No Sora Hotel in Tokyo Bay. The conversation between the staff, followed by the minister's speech, and finally the announcement of the awards and awards..."

Hiroto Akihara nodded, then leaned back on the seat and closed his eyes to rest his mind. He just remembered last night that he forgot to write his acceptance speech, and he didn't go to bed until late.

After a 30-minute drive, the two arrived at today's target hotel and parked their car in the parking lot next to the hotel.

This hotel called Yosuga No Sora is 15 stories high. The overall shape is composed of white exterior walls and glass. It is a square-style frame with a relatively low-key appearance.

Hiroto Akihara and Aiko Asano were accepted by the waiter, and soon came to the multi-function hall on the top floor of the hotel, which was contracted by Mandansha, and a buffet party was being held.

Hiroto Akihara took a look around, and found that there were many acquaintances at the meeting, including editors from Mantansha, contracted writers, and some staff who looked like media—he was not surprised, as Mantansha, as one of the giant publishing houses, always has Some friendly media.

Aiko Asano said hello, and separated from Yuuto Akihara. Today's luncheon is a good opportunity to expand contacts, so naturally it cannot be wasted.

Hiroto Akihara also nodded, picked up a glass of champagne from the table next to him, and walked in the other direction - he just took a good look at some "acquaintances".
