Seeing the performance off the stage, the head of the podium didn't take it seriously. It seemed that he had already prepared for this. After a few polite words, he handed the microphone to the hostess, and then left the podium.

The hostess stepped forward and said with a deliberate smile: "Everyone, let's invite Mrs. Seto Tamae to come to the stage to accept the award and give an acceptance speech."

Seto Yuzhi walked up to the stage and took a copy of "Summer Night Hunting the Murder" handed over by the hostess.Holding the book in her left hand and the microphone in her right hand, she looked around and made a decision in her heart.

She first said with a smile: "First of all, I am very grateful to all the judges of the judging committee of Mantan Society for their recognition of me."

At this point, she suddenly changed her tone, "But I'm sorry, I also want to talk about other things."

Under the doubtful eyes of everyone, Seto Yuzhi continued: "I believe that many people on the field have a deep memory of the Mandansha Literature Award. For more than 90 years since the founding of the Mantansha, the literature award has been held every year. Under the concept of openness, fairness and justice, many writers have won this honor. For being able to become one of these writers, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the jury .”

Just when everyone thought she was talking politely, Seto Yuzhi said something unexpected.

"But I'm sorry, I personally don't agree with the announcement of today's awards."

There was an uproar in the audience, this was simply an open attack on the jury!

Seto Yuzhi, as the oldest writer on the field, is also the winner of this award. He has always maintained a certain tacit understanding with Mandansha. Why did he jump out and sing the opposite today?

Takei Kohei, who was still watching what happened with great interest in the audience, was also stunned. This was not in his plan for today.Kihara Daigo also frowned.As the executor of this award ceremony, the words of the other party are undoubtedly publicly accusing him.

But now that the media is under the stage, it is not suitable for him to interrupt the other party's speech in full view.

Seto Yuzhi did not take into account the thoughts of others, and responded directly: "I think that the Mantansha Literary Award should be awarded to the most influential and literary works. Recently, one work has reached the Such a level."

"In terms of influence, this work helped a magazine sell from about 3 copies to 20 copies. In terms of literary value, it broke through the traditional style of reasoning and blazed its own path. It has received rave reviews from many reviewers."

Under the flashlights of the media taking pictures, she coughed lightly, and then continued to speak: "The work I'm talking about is Hiroto Akihara's "ZOO" series."

"I think he deserves the honor of this award more than I do!"

[76.Chapter 76 This is shady! ]

Mie Seto's words naturally had her intentions.

In her original expectation, her competitor who won the grand prize was undoubtedly Hiroto Akihara, but to her surprise, the other party didn't even win the golden prize.

She suspected that the other party was involved in the strife within the publishing house, which is why this unpopular result broke out, but it also made her feel angry from the bottom of her heart.

She thought it was an insult!

This is true for Qiu Yuan, and it is true for herself and all those who love literature and writing.

From a convenience store employee to a well-known writer today, Seto Tamae has a heartfelt love for literature and cannot tolerate it being tarnished by other things.

Therefore, in her opinion, the judging committee of the Mantan Society did not award the gold award to Qiuyuan, which undoubtedly violated her literary beliefs, which she absolutely cannot tolerate!

What's more, if it was decided not to award the gold award to Qiu Yuan for reasons other than literature, then did she also receive the Grand Award for other reasons?

That's why when she delivered her acceptance speech, she took the risk of offending Mandansha and said something that shocked everyone.

However, she also has her own confidence. With the qualifications and contacts she has accumulated in the literary world for more than 20 years, even if she said such a thing, the Mantan Society would not treat her badly, and even sent someone to explain to her.

Akihara Yuto didn't know Seto Yue's intentions, and after hearing such words, he couldn't help being a little moved.

He was still angry at the unfair treatment he had received just now, and it turned out that such an "old senior" who he regarded as his biggest competitor stood up and cheered him up in this way.

This is far beyond my expectations!

After all, although the other party has always shown his appreciation for him, but I have only met the other party once, and I have no idea why the other party will help him.

Could it be that the other party really appreciates his "talent" so much?

All the media on the field were also unexpected. These media were originally invited by Mantansha. They thought they were filming another boring awards ceremony, but they didn't expect such a scene to happen.

Everyone became excited on the spot, and many people even thought about the headline of the news-"Shadow?The winner of the Man Tan Society Literary Award publicly questioned the jury! ".

For a while, these journalists didn't care about observing the order of the venue, and went up to the hive with long guns and short cannons, and for a while, the water around the ceremony platform was blocked.

"Mr. Seto, why do you think that the grand prize winner is Mr. Akihara? Do you think your work is inferior to the other party's?"

"Mr. Seto, do you think the competition jury is unfair?!"

"Seto-sensei, can you talk about it carefully!"

"Seto-sensei..."

While Mie Seto was busy dealing with the media, Daigo Kihara in the audience was trembling with anger. As the head of the department, he was the executor of the awards ceremony, and he was also the chairman of the selection committee, directly responsible for the results of the awards.

Once the award ceremony is exposed in the form of a scandal, it will undoubtedly cause a huge negative blow to the publishing house's external image, and it will also be extremely detrimental to his career prospects.

He took a deep breath, and immediately called the person in charge of the Public Relations Bureau, asking the Public Relations Bureau to communicate with all the media present today, threatening to suspend advertising, and demanding that all reports must be reviewed by Mandanshe before they can be published.

After the phone call, he asked his subordinates to call the relevant person in charge of the venue, demanding that the farce be ended as soon as possible.

As for the follow-up speeches of the winners of the Gold Award and the winners of the Silver Award and the Bronze Award, I can't take care of it anymore, and it will be fine to announce it directly in the form of an internal magazine.

After giving these instructions, Kihara Daigo directly questioned Takei Kohei next to him: "Asshole, didn't you say that Akihara has no roots? Why did Seto Yuji come out and say that!"

Seto Yuzhi and Mandansha have cooperated for nearly 20 years, and have always shown a "kind and kind" image.

He never expected from the bottom of his heart that Seto Yuzhi would say such a thing at this juncture.

He can only guess that there may be a connection he doesn't know between Seto Yuzhi and Akihara Yuto.

In the neon workplace, the boss is always right, and all mistakes must be borne by the subordinates.Therefore, when the boss blames, the subordinate must come out and admit the mistake as soon as possible.

For this truth, Takei Kohei naturally has a deep understanding, so the moment he heard the question, he immediately bowed deeply and apologized: "Sorry, it was the negligence of the subordinates, and they did not investigate the relationship between the two!"

In fact, he himself didn't know why.

After all, one is a veteran writer of "Tokyo Literature" and the other is a newcomer writer of "New Novel". No matter what, they shouldn't have such a deep friendship.

Originally, according to the plan, because of the award, Qiu Yuan was completely disappointed with "New Novel" at this moment, and the next step was for him to appease the other party.

Kihara Daigo also gave up reprimanding the opponent at this time, after all, there will be more opportunities in the future.What I have to do now is try my best to make up for the impact of the award ceremony accident on myself.

Damn it, if he knew this would happen, he shouldn't have softened his heart and promised his daughter to give the gold reward to the door assistant Youzhen!

Soon, at the request of Daigo Kihara, the staff who were originally responsible for the reception and decoration of the venue rushed to the surrounding area of ​​the stage, saying "I'm sorry", while blocking the reporters around.

The hostess also hurried up to the podium, took the microphone, and said with a polite "smile": "Today's awards ceremony is over for now, please leave the venue first."

The reporters in the audience were still relentless, and it was not easy to make big news. Don't think about running away so easily, someone has to say a few words.

Seeing that it was too late to grab the opportunity to ask Tamae Seto, some reporters turned their attention to the stage, looking for another party, Hiroto Akihara.

However, Hiroto Akihara had already seen that the situation was not good at this time, so he hid aside with Yuto Imamura.

He had to confirm which link was wrong, whether someone was targeting him, or if there were other accidents before he could open his speech to the outside world.
