Bungo common problem

In the end, Oda Sakunosuke, who was very concerned about novels, took advantage of his free time to visit the editorial office of Shinzao Literature Club.

At this time, the editorial department is rarely busy.

conference room.

"Hasn't the monthly magazine that was reprinted last time been sent? How did I hear that I received another urging call?"

The editor-in-chief who sat at the top looked to a certain seat on the right, and the young man in charge answered in an excited voice.

"The last reprinted one was sent out a long time ago, but it was sold out soon!"

"sold out?"

He reprinted twice the usual amount, and it sold out so quickly?It should be known that the number issued on weekdays is calculated based on the total number of one month.

The editor-in-chief frowned, then slowly relaxed, looking at the staff who spoke.

"What about the new reprint?"

"Already urging, the printing can be completed as soon as this afternoon!"

"very good."

The editor-in-chief nodded in satisfaction.What happened now has exceeded his expectations, although after seeing the article, he directly concluded that it was a thought-provoking article, and put it directly at the core of the monthly magazine.But he didn't expect it to move forward so quickly, and it even became a rising star in just a few days.

But not enough.

The editor-in-chief's eyes swept across the meeting room, but what he thought about was how to use this influence to expand.

"Sacrifice" is undoubtedly a work that can impress countless people. It is too inefficient to spread it only in the city of Yokohama. It should go to farther places and be read by more people.

But now there is one more important question.

"Asakawa-kun, is there still no news from Teacher Qianli?"

The editor-in-chief's gaze fell on a young man wearing glasses who looked weak.

"Not even a little news about the kid from the beginning?"

After all, at the beginning, the manuscript of "Sacrifice" was sent by a little girl who seemed to be only thirteen or fourteen years old. Even the sentence "I want to contribute." It was difficult for people to take it seriously.

This is a habitual contempt of age and experience, a habit that most people cannot avoid.

But the slogan of Xinzao Literary Club is to only read the content, so Asakawa Hayato, who just became a regular, accepted the manuscript without knowing the content, and even faced the other party with a tone of coaxing children.

It's a pity that according to the normal process, the author's name and address should be asked for a lot of information, but the little girl just said that she would come back after a while and disappeared.

Fortunately, this novel was not buried because of this contempt, and even Asakawa Hayato regretted why he didn't read the manuscript directly and keep the little girl.

This is the person directly related to Teacher Qianli!

"Sorry editor."

Asakawa Hayato lowered his head in shame.

"Even if the editorial department has been mobilized to pay attention, there is no news yet."

As soon as these words came out, the air in the meeting room suddenly froze, and everyone lowered their heads, obviously there was nothing they could do.

"Is there no news yet..."

The editor-in-chief took a deep breath to stabilize his anxious state of mind. He knocked on the table and spoke in a deep voice.

"If an existence like Teacher Qianli doesn't want to call us, there is nothing we can do. If it is Teacher Qianli..."

The editor-in-chief's eyes were in a trance for a moment, and his expression was silent.

"Then we can only wait."

They are a literary club, and if someone contributes, they will select the outstanding ones and publish them. Moreover, such an amazingly talented person as Teacher Qianli will never be unknown. From this article, he saw the teacher’s criticism of people’s willingness to be numb .

Yokohama should not be like this, and human beings should not be like this. Before changing these things and awakening people, Mr. Qianli will never give up.

He knew Teacher Qianli well, so he resolutely decided to publish the article even if he could not be contacted at the last time.

I just hope that Teacher Qianli can give himself some news when he sees the published article.

Just when he was thinking about how elegant, easy-going and determined literary master Qianli is, the door of the conference room was opened with a "bang", and a young employee ignored everyone's eyes staring at him, excitedly He looked at the editor-in-chief of the first seat.

"Editor-in-chief! Teacher Qianli is here!!!"

Everyone: ! ! !

However, it wasn't Chisato who came at all, but Oda Sakunosuke who took her place to collect the manuscript fee.

Not knowing where Chisato himself was, the editorial department was worried, so Oda Sakunosuke just went to the front desk and directly stated that he was here to collect the manuscript fee for "Sacrifice".

"What? Teacher Qianli?"

The receptionist at the front desk was taken aback for a moment, and his eyes on Oda Sakunosuke became hot in an instant.

"Are you Teacher Qianli?"

After all, no one except the editorial department knows that Teacher Qianli can't be contacted at all.

Without waiting for Sakunosuke Oda to explain, the receptionist stood up and looked at the same excited colleague beside him. The two people who knew that the editorial department was going crazy looking for Qianli grabbed Oda Sakunosuke as fast as they could in their lives. He clenched his sleeve tightly for fear that he would run away, and the other ran straight to the meeting room without saying a word, not even knocking on the door in time.

Oda Sakunosuke blankly put out a question mark, and within a few seconds, a group of people appeared in the editorial department, staring at him like wolves, excited and awed.

"Are you Teacher Qianli?"

The middle-aged editor-in-chief at the front of everyone motioned for others to be quiet, and came to Oda Sakunosuke by himself.

"Sorry, we are just a little excited. To be honest, we have been hoping to contact you for a long time. You..."

"Wait, you misunderstood."

Oda Sakunosuke quickly interrupted the editor-in-chief and explained straightforwardly.

"I am not the author Qianli, I am her..."

He thought about his relationship with Qianli, and came up with a more...reliable one.

"Well, Guardian."

It should be regarded as a temporary guardian, right?Oda Sakunosuke thought.

"She can't go out for some reason, so please ask me to help her collect the manuscript fee."

"she……?"

It was too late to care about the reception who spread the false news, the editor-in-chief opened his mouth, and repeated a certain key address in Oda Sakunosuke's words in a daze, and his eyes subconsciously focused on the other party's eyes.

Helpless and frank, he...is he serious?

Subconsciously, the editor-in-chief's eyes shifted to the weak young man wearing glasses, and the same shock and hesitation in the other's eyes made him wake up suddenly.

"Sorry, then this..."

"Oda Sakunosuke."

"Then Oda-kun."

The editor-in-chief took a deep breath and made an invitation gesture.

"Can we go inside and talk about it?"

Oda Sakunosuke nodded, casually.

"The previous meeting is over, now you can do what you need to do."

The warning eyes swept across the editorial department, and the editor-in-chief took Oda Sakunosuke to the editor-in-chief's office in the surprised sneak peek of the editorial department.

I don't know what the two of them exchanged. The editorial department only knew that after the editor-in-chief and the red-haired young man came out, they ordered Hayato Asakawa to let him leave with each other.

Along the way, Asakawa was uneasy.

He probably knew what the editor-in-chief asked him to go with this person to meet Qianli... What Teacher Qianli meant, because he was the only person who had been in contact with Teacher Qianli and did not leave any bad impressions. Compared with other veterans in the workplace, it is obvious that his cuteness is easier not to arouse alertness.

But when he really started to take charge of such an important matter, he felt very nervous, even after knowing that everyone had guessed countless times that it might be an aspiring young/middle-aged/old man who was the little girl he received, This nervousness only got worse.

Even the editor-in-chief doesn't have this experience, does he?As soon as she became a regular, she was in charge of a little girl who could write a work that would definitely become famous in the literary world... something.

No, no, teacher Qianli, can that be an ordinary little girl!

"That... Oda-kun?"

Thinking wildly in his heart to make himself braver, Asakawa Hayato mustered up the courage to look at the red-haired young man beside him, and asked carefully.

"Teacher Qianli... is she sick?"

As soon as he said the words, he felt that his statement was really offensive, so he quickly denied it.

"I don't mean that Teacher Qianli is sick. Of course, it is best for Teacher Qianli to be healthy, that is... Teacher Qianli..."

I wish I could say more than half of the words "Teacher Qianli". Ever since he entered the editorial department, Sakunosuke Oda has been surrounded by these four words. The editorial department called "Teacher Qianli" is also quite amazing.

"She...has some injuries."

"What? Injured!!!"

Asakawa Hayato subconsciously raised his voice, and his voice became urgent.

"Teacher, why is she injured? Are you okay? Is it serious? No way! I'd better go buy some supplements!"

According to what the editor-in-chief said, this is the hope of the editorial department and a new star in the literary world in the future. How can a new star be injured!That's the boss who will be in charge of me in the future, it's the beginning of my editing career, and it's the baby bump who wants to write classic articles!

He frowned tightly, like an ant on a hot pot, if he wasn't outside, he might have started to circle around anxiously.

"Calm down, Editor Asakawa, Chisato has nothing to do with her."

Seeing Asakawa Hayato still looking worried, Oda Sakunosuke thought for a while and pointed to the supermarket aside.

"If you are really worried, you can bring some snacks as condolences."

Asakawa Hayato: Snack... food?Wait, it seems... there is nothing wrong with it?
