Revive it!Wenhao Press

After returning to the publishing house in the afternoon, Hualichun immediately searched for the Dazai dog in the publishing house.She was very worried that when he was away, he found another building or found a river to jump into.

Fortunately, the publishing house now only has a small room, connected to a small backyard, and you can see all the corners at a glance.Hualichun saw Dazai dog sitting on the porch in the backyard at a glance, and was relieved.

Hualichun didn't know why Dazai dog got into the water.But after witnessing him type out an article "Setting Sun", she felt that it might be the writer's eccentricity.

Dazai Dog's ears shook slightly, as if he heard Hualichun came back, but there was no more reaction.Hualichun didn't bother Dazai Quan, but quietly sat down at the desk, turned on the computer to check, and hoped that when he was going to school, he would write something new on a whim.

But after searching around in the computer, all Huali could find was "Setting Sun" which was completed last night.

Sure enough, even if there is such an abnormal thing as Gougou being a great writer, it is still impossible to create two super high-quality works in a row.

Huali Chunzheng was sitting in front of the computer thinking, when suddenly there was a rustling sound behind her.

Dazai Inu didn't know when he came over.He stopped beside Hualichun, sniffed the tip of his nose close to her hand hanging on the side of the chair, opened his mouth suddenly, and lightly bit her fingertips.

The wet touch made Huali Chun tremble, and just about to withdraw his hand, Dazai Gou had already let go.He looked at Hualichun quietly, walked a few steps towards the door, and looked back at her.

At that moment, Hualichun had a conjecture - Dazai seemed to be taking her somewhere.

—Could it be something related to

She stood up and followed out.

……

10 minute later.

Hualichun, a dog walker, followed Dazai Dog to a small river: "..."

The river is gentle, and the surface of the water reflects the sunlight, giving off patches of irregular sparkling light, shining brilliantly on the thick and soft hair of the Dazai dog.

Dazai's tail wrapped around the girl's ankle under the pleated skirt.He looked at the river for a while, then turned his head and looked at Hualichun with sympathetic eyes.

The fluffy tail wrapped around her ankles was neither light nor heavy, and it didn't seem offensive, but it gave people the illusion of tenderness.

Even if it was just a dog, at that moment, Hualichun seemed to see something in Dazai Dog that transcended race and captivated the soul.

Why did she actually feel that this dog was inviting her whom she just met yesterday...to die in love?

"Teacher Dazai, could it be that you are..." Hualichun used honorifics, and asked tentatively, "Invited me to enter the water with you...?"

Dazai Inu's tail tightened slightly, as if urging.His eyes flickered slightly, biting the hem of Huali's pure black pleated skirt, his iris-colored pupils seemed to hide a deep-drawing vortex.

"..." In just two days of being together, this is the third time that Dazai Gou has shown that he wants to commit suicide in front of Hualijun.

Hualichun was silent for a moment, and pulled the hem of the skirt out of Dazai Dog's mouth.

"I will not seek death, Mr. Dazai." She half-kneeled in front of Dazai and said seriously, "I am an orphan, and I have been struggling for more than ten years just to survive. So I will definitely not die. I Live well."

"I won't let you die either. Although I don't know why you did this, "Setting Sun" will be published soon. It is my hope to revive Hoshinosha, and it is also a work that shakes my heart. "

Hualichun didn't know why Dazai Gou wanted to throw himself into the river again and again, and he couldn't persuade him.She is just a very ordinary and conventional person, and she may never be able to understand the heart of an unusual dog like Osamu Dazai in her whole life.

She had to say: "I want "Setting Sun" to be read by all kinds of readers."

"Men, women, old people, children, from Hokkaido to Kyushu, from fishermen fishing at sea to farmers working in the fields, from the president in the big office on the top floor to students in uniform... I want them all to read " setting sun"."

"Although these are just empty words now, I also want you to see how your work is published in the magazine. So please persevere, at least... wait until the day it is published, and see the expressions of readers. "

"It makes sense to do that."

Hualichun stared directly at Osamu Dazai with her eyes, there was no shadow in her eyes, and her clear green pupils seemed to be looking directly at Osamu Dazai's soul through this physical body.

Dazai Inu was slightly stunned.

He looked at the sparkling river not far away, then looked back at Hualichun's face, and finally turned around.

Seeing the situation, Hualichun, who was staring at the Dazai dog, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

***

In the next few days, Dazai Inu didn't write a single word, but he didn't throw himself into the river either.He doesn't stay in the publishing house all the time, but often goes out for a walk.

Hualichun didn't disturb him too much.During this period of time, she will use up the refreshed number of cards drawn every day, and has figured out the scope of the cards drawn-there are three types of cards that can be drawn every day, namely hint cards, item cards, and money cards.

And in the past few days, Hualichun has never drawn a reminder card again, only item cards and money cards have been drawn.

……

The regular release date of "Monthly Literature" is the 15th of every month.At present, the only way to sell unlocked is to conduct online sales through Hoshinosha's official website.Therefore, a few days before the release date, Hualichun updated the release notice on the homepage of the official website every day.

One day before the release date, Dazai Inu still had no new work to come out.Hualichun finally decided to start printing the first issue of the new "Monthly Literature".

The main article is of course "The Setting Sun".As for the number of prints, she bet all the money she got by drawing cards in the past few days, as well as the little savings she had accumulated so far, and chose the largest print volume under the current economic capacity-1000 copies.

Through Revival!After the new magazine printed by Wenhao Publishing House appeared in the publishing house, Hualichun couldn't help picking up a magazine and touched the smooth cover.Then, she opened the inside of the magazine and took a deep breath.

Inhaled into the nasal cavity, it represents the smell of ink in the publishing industry.

Hoshinosha's original readership has been completely lost, and there is only one featured article in the first issue.What's more, today is the era of decline of paper media. There are not so many people with paper books and periodicals, and the sales of paper books are also declining.Even if only 1000 copies were printed in this case, it would be no different from gambling.

But Hualichun did not hesitate.

She doesn't consider herself a gambler.She has strong confidence in "Setting Sun".

The release day happens to be Saturday. As soon as 0 o'clock arrived, Hualichun logged into the official website of Hoshinosha and opened the online sales channel.

Immediately afterwards, she sat in front of the computer, staring at the sales data without blinking her eyes.

……

"Wake up quickly."

"Wake up, it's eleven o'clock."

"Sleep so soundly, I can't wake up..."

Hualichun was vaguely aware that someone was poking her cheek.She frowned, and tried her best to open her sore eyelids.

In his blurred vision, he could vaguely see a fluffy silver-haired head looking at her cheerfully.There was a pair of small round sunglasses on the bridge of the other's nose, and her slender fingers were still poking her face mercilessly, as if they were poking rice cakes.

After reacting, Hualichun opened her eyes wide suddenly, and stood up with a bang.

She fell asleep on the desk.

"Oh!" Gojo Satoru, who was squatting aside, looked up at her with interest, "Suddenly he became energetic like a dying crucian carp flopping on the river bank!"

Is this the right word to describe a young girl in bloom?

Hualichun stood there for two seconds, then turned around: "Why did you come in?"

What Gojo Satoru was wearing was not the black uniform he wore last time, but a black loose-fitting short-sleeved T-shirt and trousers.He squatted halfway beside the computer desk, folded his arms on the desk, leaned his chin on his arms and tilted his head to look at Hualichun, and his tone was as brisk as ever: "I heard that your "Monthly Literature" is about to release its first issue today. , so come and have a look."

"No, what I mean is that no matter how powerful your spells are, don't just come into other people's houses..."

Hualichun rubbed her temples, and her thoughts drifted to other places at this time.She looked around, but did not find Dazai Inu, so she couldn't help asking: "Did you see the dog when you came in just now?"

"Dog?" Wujo Wuqi said, "No. Have you got a dog?"

Hualichun sat down again.She couldn't help but cast her eyes on the computer screen that had been left on all night.

What is displayed on the screen is still the background of Hoshinosha's official website.

Overnight, the sales volume of "Monthly Literature" was 0.

Hualichun originally thought that even if the publication had been suspended for three years, at least some old readers would notice the news after she announced that she would reissue the monthly magazine.But according to this zero egg, the current Hoshinosha's regular readership is completely zero.

Originally, I thought that with the level of "Setting Sun", as long as someone buys it, they will be shocked by it, and then drive more people around them to buy it.But in the absence of sales, this optimistic scenario has also been in vain.

To put it bluntly, the current "Monthly Literature" has no chance of exposure at all.It was "Monthly Literature" that dragged "Setting Sun" back.

"..."

Hualichun pursed her lips.Wujo Wujo stretched out his head to look at the screen, and made an exaggerated voice: "Oh, it's all gone... I thought I could sell at least one or two copies..."

Gojo Satoru's entire head was stretched out in front of the screen, and his brilliant short silver-white hair swayed with his movements, and some hair ends even touched Hualichun's face.

Hualichun moved to the side with some headaches, and just about to speak, Gojo Wu suddenly turned around and asked her, "How many copies did you print in total?"

Huali Chun told the truth: "A thousand copies."

"Really?" Gojo Satoru said easily, "Then I'll buy all the thousand magazines."

Silence continued for a moment.

Hualichun opened his mouth and spit out a surprised syllable: "Ah?"

"The price of a copy of "Monthly Literature" is 899 yen, and the thousand copies are less than 90 yen." Gojo Satoru ignored Hana Lijun's astonishment, and took out his mobile phone, "tell me your account Me, I'll transfer the money directly."

"But... why?" Hualichun was still surprised, "What's the use of buying a thousand copies of "Monthly Literature"?"

"Help you solve the immediate problem." Gojo Satoru said naturally, "You have printed a thousand magazines, but you can't sell a single one. After that, even eating will become a problem, and the publishing house won't be able to survive, right?"

"So... why do you want to help me?"

"..."

The smile on Gojo Satoru's face faded a bit.He seemed to think about it for a while, and finally said: "It's interesting to see that you want to fight against the Chanyuan family. Although I think the probability of your winning is very low, it will make me very unhappy if you lose at the beginning."

He raised his eyebrows and said, "Where are we going? I haven't met the people from the Chanyuan family directly. Is it going to be over?"

"Besides, didn't I say that? I know something about your parents, so it's probably related to me."

Hualichun looked at Gojo Satoru, his eyes couldn't help but become a little complicated.

Although the way this guy talks is nasty, she can't be angry with someone who wants to help her.

Her eyes were bright and dark, and finally she lowered her eyes and said softly: "Do you think I just need to sell all the printed magazines to make money, and that's all right?"

Gojo Satoru turned his head slightly, his eyes behind the sunglasses seemed to be sizing up Hualijun.

"Perhaps in the beginning, the purpose of my decision to revive Hoshinosha was to rebel against the Chanyuan family like a mother I had never met. But now, I want everyone to read the magazines of our publishing house."

"When it comes to running a publishing house, many people will immediately think of how many books to sell. But I have already felt that although sales volume is the key to supporting the survival of a publishing house, the essence of a publishing house's work is not how many books are sold, but how many books are sold. It is how many people have seen the excellent article."

"If I sell you a thousand copies of the magazine, the contents of the magazine will not be seen by readers at all. Although the funds can be recovered and the publishing house can survive temporarily, the articles in it will die."

Hualichun remembered what he had said to Dazai Dog by the river.

She didn't know how much weight her words carried in Dazai Inu's heart.Seeing that Dazai Inu went out for a walk on the release day, maybe he didn't care about those words at the beginning.

But from Hokkaido to Kyushu, from the president of the big city to the peasants in the countryside, you can see what is published by Hoshinosha, which is her commitment to precious writers.

"So even though I don't want to lose to the Chanyuan family, I also can't accept your proposal just now. I'm sorry." She said to Gojo Satoru cautiously.

"……yes."

The light smile on Gojo Satoru's face completely disappeared.He looked at Hualichun seriously, as if seeing her for the first time today.

"However, if the quantity you want is within ten copies, there is no problem." Hualichun continued to wring his fingers and said, "Read it for yourself, keep it for collection, and give it or lend it to someone you know..."

She raised her head and looked at Gojo Satoru with burning eyes: "Just buy ten copies! After reading the articles in it, you will never regret it!"

Gojo Satoru was silent for two seconds, then smiled slowly: "Then give me ten copies! I will recommend it to people I know."

Hualichun nodded, and immediately packed ten copies of the first issue of "Monthly Literature", put them in a bag, and solemnly handed them to Gojo Satoru, as if performing some ceremony: "Thank you for your patronage. You are the first issue of Hoshinosha. The guests are also the benefactors of Hoshinosha."

In order to print a thousand copies of "Monthly Literature", she really has no money in her hands now.

"I feel so honored~"

Gojo Satoru took the heavy bag with a smile, took out [-] yen and handed it to Huali Jun, and then asked: "But according to your statement, no matter how many magazines you sell, you can't achieve the goal of getting the article published. Is the purpose for the readers to see?"

"There are 990 books left. What are you going to do next?"

Hualichun's expression became serious again: "It won't end here. I must deliver all these magazines to readers within a week."

Gojo Satoru was about to leave, but after listening to Hualijun's words, he dawdled around looking at this and that in the publishing house, but he didn't leave.

Hualichun didn't pay much attention to him.She stared at several large cardboard boxes containing newly printed "Monthly Literature" in the publishing house for a while, then suddenly sat up, opened a cardboard box, and moved out a large stack of "Monthly Literature".

She opened the top one, and when she reached a certain page, she pinched the corner of the page without hesitation, and tore off the brand new page with a "click".
