However, since Aiko Asano is here, she can just implement her next plan.

Thinking of this, he showed a "politician" smile.

"Editor Asano, do you have time now? I want to chat with you briefly about Akihara-sensei..."

[78.Chapter 78 Drag]

In the publishing world, the editor, as the link closest to the creator, undoubtedly has a huge influence on the latter.

Therefore, in the literary and comic circles of neon, there are many cases where editors and creators can be seen leaving together.

In order to avoid the possibility of Asano Aiko leaving Mantansha with Akihara Hiroto, Takei Kohei decided to add a heavy insurance.

Aiko Asano was in a very complicated mood at the moment, but after hearing the word "Akihara", she immediately stopped packing up and asked, "Editor Takei, do you have any questions about what happened to this awards ceremony?" know what?"

After editor-in-chief Kikuchi kept silent, she had lost an effective way to get news.

For her now, she can't miss any possible way to get the truth.

Kohei Takei sighed, "Asano, so you don't know what editor-in-chief Kikuchi meant?"

Kikuchi, I'm sorry, you're going to be the scapegoat anyway, so let me use you again.

"But, why did editor-in-chief Kikuchi do this?" Aiko Asano said incredulously with her mouth slightly open.

Hiroto Akihara is the biggest contributor to the current sales of "New Novel", and the higher the sales, the higher the income for Kikuchi Tainaturally, who is the editor-in-chief.

From any point of view, she couldn't see Kikuchita's motive for doing so.

Kohei Takei shook his head, his eyes became pitiful, "That's because Mr. Yuma, the sect association, is dating the head's daughter, so editor-in-chief Kikuchi wants to please the head."

The truest lie is often a mixture of truth and lies, so Takei Kohei did not try to completely deceive Asano Aiko, but changed the result of the award from the direction of the head to Kikuchi's initiative.

As for other aspects, he believes that with Asano Aiko's position level and interpersonal relationship, he can't get more inside information.

After hearing the news, Asano Aiko murmured: "So, did Editor-in-Chief Kikuchi change the work for the Golden Award to "Looking for Footsteps"?"

However, she did not completely believe it so simply, but asked instead: "But for Editor-in-Chief Kikuchi, the sales of "New Novel" are the most important thing, right?"

"What if the director appreciates editor-in-chief Kikuchi and decides to transfer him to another department?" Takei Kohei shook his head and continued.

"Asano, how can you guarantee that Mr. Akihara's work will be a hit in the next issue?"

Anyway, Kikuchita's handle is in his hands, and he can do whatever he wants the other party to say.

And after being responsible for the awards accident, Kikuchi too must have no way to stay in the editorial department anymore, and it is estimated that he will be sent directly to other departments.

Aiko Asano didn't know that he was lying, but fell into deep thought.

If what Takei Kohei said is true, then editor-in-chief Kikuchi is not optimistic about the potential of Akihara's next work, but wants to use his current achievements to jump to other departments.

In order to achieve the purpose of transfer, he must befriend the head of the department, so he will be awarded this gold reward...

Takei Kohei "sighed": "Asano, as an editor, I would like to ask you a presumptuous question. What do you think of Mr. Akihara?"

Asano Aiko didn't expect to be asked this question, but she immediately reacted and responded seriously: "Ms. Akihara, you are my partner."

Although she has some other feelings for Qiu Yuan, she is always thinking about him at work, whether it is in the release of the work or in the promotion of the work.

She also knew that Qiu Yuan trusted her very much.

In her view, the two have reached a certain tacit understanding, that is, to create works that can be loved by readers together, and to strive together for this goal.

Takei Kohei nodded, and asked another question: "Then as a partner, what did you do for him?"

Before Aiko Asano answered, he continued: "In terms of writing, you have not provided directional guidance to the other party, and in terms of publicity, you have not been able to obtain any effective resources. Even this big award, You don't even know."

He smiled, and then asked in a very calm tone: "So Asano, what qualifications do you have to say that you are Akihara Yuto's partner?"

Seeing that Asano Aiko fell silent, Takei Kohei said with a "wry smile": "If I were the editor in charge of Akihara-sensei, then nothing would have happened today. I will give him various resources of "Tokyo Literature", and even more Will escort him all the way in the literary world."

Asano Aiko pursed her lips, and retorted: "Editor Takei, but you didn't choose Akihara's manuscript at the beginning."

"This is my fault," Takei Kohei said very frankly, but regretfully, "but it doesn't mean that I can't help the other party now."

""Tokyo Literature" can win a big award and a gold award every year, so I can guarantee that at least Mr. Akihara will not have any problems with the award. In addition, if Akihara leaves "New Novel", he will also be with Mr. Menxie With no conflict of interest, both can contribute better to the publishing house."

"Asano, I don't know if Mr. Akihara told you that I invited him to join "Tokyo Literature", but he chose to give up because of you."

After saying this, he was silent for a while, bowed deeply, and begged very "sincerely": "Asano, please give up being the editor in charge of Teacher Akihara, he is a genius in the RB literary world, please don't delay any longer him!"

According to the rules of the neon workplace, often only the subordinates bow to the superiors, and bowing by the superiors usually makes the subordinates panic.

Takei Kohei's intention in doing this was nothing more than to make Asano Aiko feel guilty, so that he voluntarily left Akihara Yuto.

Otherwise, he will definitely not be able to serve as the responsible editor of Akihara Hiroto by taking the other party's place.

For this purpose, he deliberately learned about Asano Aiko's character from his assistant, and knew that the other party was a very responsible person, but this is often the case, and he often felt a sense of responsibility for the trouble he caused others. guilt.

After bowing, he raised his head and found that Asano Aiko's face had turned pale. He knew in his heart that his words had already had an effect.

He pretended to "sigh", then turned and left.

It's too late, if Asano Aiko really thinks about Akihara Yuto, she will make her own choice later on.

Next, I said it to Akihara Yuto again with a kind face.

At this time, Asano Aiko no longer had any thoughts on him, but kept asking herself in her heart.

She found that she couldn't refute Takei Kohei's statement.

If he didn't have himself, Hiroto Akihara would have made his debut in another magazine, and then he would have won the grand prize, right?

She lowered her head and remained silent for a long time...

[79.Chapter 79 full of doubts]

Three days later in the morning, Akihara Yuren's home.

Hiroto Akihara stood by the phone at the entrance, and said into the microphone, "Ms. Asano, could I ask Asano to answer the phone?"

"Sorry, Akihara." Mrs. Asano sighed, and then continued, "She still feels a little uncomfortable, please forgive me."

"I understand, please tell me, please take care of your body." Akihara Yuto said.

"Understood, I will pass it on to her for you."

Hiroto Akihara was silent for a while, then hung up the phone.

He closed his eyes and began to think about a series of recent events.
