He immediately understood, because he was so obsessed with Akihara Hiroto's works, he just watched them all night, and even forgot to sleep.

An Jiujin just shook his head, smiled wryly, then went downstairs, sat at the dining table, and took the bread from his wife.He dipped it in the jam, and thought as he ate.

Even now, the plot of the story is still in his mind.

When he first started reviewing manuscripts, he didn't read the manuscript very carefully because he didn't like the identity of Hiroto Akihara's self-funded author.I just want to correct typos and language problems, so as to avoid too many mistakes when publishing.

So when he saw the protagonist Ishigami appearing on the stage, he didn't pay too much attention to it, and even complained that the encounter between him and Yasuko Hanaoka's mother and daughter was too bloody.

After all, because of a meeting ceremony, Ishigami gave up the idea of ​​suicide, and even became surrounded by Yasuko Hanaoka. No matter how you look at this plot, he feels that there is a problem, it is so bad, he even thinks that the protagonist named Ishigami has never seen a woman , will have such a psychology.

But as the plot progressed, a more three-dimensional and prominent character image began to appear in front of him, making him overturn all his initial thoughts.

As another protagonist of this novel, Professor Yu Chuanxue is undoubtedly the person who knows Ishigami best, and even sympathizes with him on the ideological level.

For Ishigami, Yu Chuanxue commented in this way.

"Ishigami is very simple. The answers he seeks are always simple. The answers he seeks are always simple. He will never pursue several things at the same time, and the means by which he achieves his goals are also very simple. He never hesitates , and will not be easily swayed by a little thing. However, this also means that he is not good at survival, either winning everything or losing everything, and his life is always accompanied by this kind of danger. "

It can be known from the plot that Ishigami was even called "Dharma Ishigami" when he was in college, and he was a genius no less talented than Yu Chuanxue. It was only because of his parents' illness that he had to wrong himself to teach in high school.

But even so, Ishigami still found his faith, which is his recognition of mathematics.But such recognition was not recognized by his own students, and even provoked.

Natural talent meets the helplessness of reality, which is the status quo that Ishigami is facing.

……

An Jiujin just picked up the milk and took a sip, then closed his eyes, leaned back in the chair, and continued to meditate.Vaguely, he substituted himself into the role of Stone God.

If it were me, even if I have a talent for mathematics, if I can't develop in this field, I might feel that I have no value in existence, right?

If it's worthless, it wouldn't be a pity even if it died, would it?

Unless... unless there is a new reason to support me to live!

Arriving here, An Jiujin just suddenly realized.

After being not recognized by the students for a long time and encountering difficulties in mathematics research, Ishigami gave up hope of surviving and prepared to hang himself at home.

At this time, Hanaoka's mother and daughter came to visit and handed over a door-to-door gift.When handing over the gift, Yasuko Hanaoka's beautiful smile successfully attracted Ishigami.

Ishigami also realized at this moment that Yasuko Hanaoka gave him the same sense of beauty as mathematics, and this became the motivation for Ishigami to live.

At that moment, Yasuko Hanaoka and her daughter, in the eyes of Ishigami, became physical symbols of mathematics, even if they could not be completely replaced, but close enough.

……

As soon as An Jiujin stood up, he didn't even bother to eat the leftover bread. Under his wife's puzzled eyes, he went back upstairs with the milk.

He sat at the desk and picked up the manuscript in front of him.

At this moment, he forgot that his original intention was only to correct typos, and he just regarded himself as a reader and began to further sort out the content of the article.

He ignored the churning drowsiness and flipped to the back of the manuscript.

He still has a doubt deep in his heart, Ishigami, did he really love Yasuko Hanaoka?

……

This sentence sounds very ridiculous. After all, for Yasuko Hanaoka, Ishigami not only gave up suicide, but even helped to fake the murder scene, and even willingly went to jail.

But his "love" has never considered what will be returned, let alone how Hanaoka Yasuko will treat him?

He may just want to give himself a living pillar to replace his lost dream of mathematics.

In other words, Yasuko Hanaoka is not so much the person he loves, but the meaning of his life.

So this kind of feeling even goes far beyond "love" and reaches another realm.

……

Although An Jiujin Gangyi still wanted to continue sorting out the contents of the book, his brain kept reminding him that he was already very sleepy.

Forced to do so, he put down the manuscript, lay down on the quilt behind him, and closed his eyes.

Although he was about to fall asleep, his mind was still active.

This work has the potential to sell well, maybe it can sell 40 copies... No, more than 50 copies are possible.

If so many can be sold, "Anjiu Bookstore" as a book publisher can be seen by more people.

Maybe you can get more customers, or switch back to the original business model!No more self-publishing deals!

That being the case, I must proofread the manuscript carefully to avoid typos and incoherent sentences. Otherwise, if the work sells well, the readers will definitely yell at the publisher!

No, no, if you review it alone, there will inevitably still be problems. Wait until the employees are called back to work, and you have to carefully review it several times!

Having said that, should we invite a special design company to customize the cover of the book? It seems that the editors in the publishing house are not very good...

After a long time, An Jiujin Gangyi finally couldn't resist the heavy sleepiness, fell into a deep sleep amidst wild thoughts, and snored.

But there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth...

[89.Chapter 89 Disappointment and Hope]

Kitaoka Law Firm, Chuo-ku, Tokyo.

When Akutsu was just sleeping, Akihara Hiroto brought the manuscript of "The Devotion of Suspect X" and the copyright certificate he had obtained before to the law firm that he learned about through Imamura Yuto.

The purpose of his coming today is to prove whether his previous idea is feasible.

After the bank refused the loan, he decided to persuade the president Anjiu to help him print 3 copies first, and to do other channel work well in the form of credit.

In order to achieve this goal, there must be another means, in other words, a bargaining chip that can be used as a mortgage.

Hiroto Akihara walked in, and was quickly led by the receptionist to this large office, where Yuki Kitaoka, the owner of the law firm, was also in front of him.

Kitaoka Yuki is a female property rights lawyer with 20 years of experience. She is already in her 40s and wears a neat gray professional suit.

The two sat on the sofa, and Hiroto Akihara quickly explained his situation.

Kitaoka Yuuki held his glasses with his hands, and then said in an orderly voice: "Akihara-san, I probably understand your situation, that is, you need a guarantee, right? I have a few opinions here."

Seeing Hiroto Akihara nodding, she continued: "First, just write an IOU, sign it and stamp it with your personal seal. This method is the easiest."

"Sorry, can you tell me about other ways?" Hiroto Akihara shook his head.

The relationship between him and that President Anjiu is purely between the seller and the customer, and he doesn't think that the other party will advance an amount of more than 600 million yen for him.
