I am a literary giant in Japan

Chapter 143 Are you worthy enough to be Mr. Beichuan’s opponent?
"Meow~"

Pete shot out like an arrow, and then rubbed my wife Yumeko's trouser legs with his big head.

Every time he sees such a scene, Kitagawa Hide can't help but sigh in his heart that cats are indeed one of the cutest animals in the world.

He also went over to help my wife Yumeko share the pile of newspapers in her hands, and took the envelope containing the bank bill from her mouth.

Logically, shouldn't the Industrial Central Bank send bills on the 25th of every month?
Unless there is a large amount of financial changes in the bank account, a copy will be sent suddenly.

Kitagawa Hide scratched his head. He had been busy guiding Mayumi Aso and others in writing books recently. He was too lazy to even check how much money was in his account. He didn't remember using any large sum of money.

"Xiujun, I'll go run the bath water first." Seeing that he was busy, my wife Mengzi waved her hand and ran to prepare the hot water for the two of them to take a bath in a while.

Kitagawa Hide exclaimed, "Eh!" and couldn't wait to open the envelope. He has always been very concerned about matters related to money, so he couldn't be careless about this!

A stack of bills signed by Senhara Masato slipped out of the envelope, and the numbers 560 million yen, which were deliberately highlighted in bold, instantly caught the eye.

The name of the transferor is Tanaka Aoi.

The original body's lingering ex-girlfriend? !
Kitagawa Hide hurriedly checked the bank statement carefully.

It was indeed that Tanaka Aoi who transferred a total of 560 million yen to his account in batches.

If I remember correctly, this number is the total principal and interest of the loan that the original body borrowed to support her college studies.

Attached to the letter was a piece of notepaper with a short message on it:

Thank you, Mr. Saito.

I'm sorry, and thank you very much, Kitagawa.

What are you doing?
Is this not a game of playing hard to get?

Kitagawa Hide immediately picked up his phone and called Senhara Masato.

Soon, Senhara Masato's voice came from the receiver: "Teacher Kitagawa? Good evening! Do you need anything from me? Ah, Hanzawa-san, this way, this way, please help me. Sorry, Teacher Kitagawa, I was just getting some information."

There was a lot of noise on the other end of the phone. Kitagawa Hide looked up at the clock. Wow, it was already past 7 o'clock in the evening, and the bank was still working overtime?
In his previous life, he had heard a saying that after the bank closed every afternoon, the work day for the bank employees upstairs officially began.

Finance may sound like a high-end industry, but it is actually a very tough job.

"Yes, good evening, Mr. Chihara, I have something to ask you. I just received a bank statement." Kitagawa Hide briefly expressed his doubts.

When Senhara Masato heard what he said, he quickly remembered the young and beautiful female guest.

Because Kitagawa Hide had too much money in his account and he was an "upper-class writer", Senhara Masato no longer deliberately informed Kitagawa Hide of changes in his account of several million yen, so as not to disturb him.

The two chatted for a while, and after hanging up the phone, Kitagawa Hide suddenly realized.

It was indeed the money transferred by Tanaka Aoi, and she didn't do anything tricky. She transferred the money, left a note, and ran away.

A few days ago, I asked Masato Chihara to contact the airline, and it seems that he is going abroad by plane.

It seems that he has a change of heart, but it doesn’t matter anymore.

Kitagawa Hide didn't want to have anything to do with her anymore. If it weren't for this incident, he would have forgotten about this woman.

Come to think of it, after that incident, he thought that Tanaka Aoi would continue to pester him, a potential stock, or after he became famous, she would jump out as his ex-girlfriend to reveal some information, participate in some programs on the school TV station to gain popularity, etc.

In the past, many celebrities’ ex-boyfriends/girlfriends loved to eat this kind of traffic. After live streaming became popular, some people even tried to make money by riding on the popularity every day.

Tanaka Aoi has never done this once.

Kitagawa Hide put the bank bill aside and soon forgot about it.

In the bathroom, Mengzi didn't seem to react, so he simply picked up today's evening edition of the newspaper and read it.

Anyway, if everything is ready, Mengzi will definitely come and call him.

This is the good thing about Japanese men. As long as you find a more traditional Heisei girl, you can often enjoy emperor-like treatment at home.

There is not much difference between having clothes to wear and food to eat.

Ever since the Nikkan Sports News gave him the film award, Kitagawa Hide has returned the favor by subscribing to an extra copy of their newspaper.

He seldom read sports newspapers, mainly because he preferred basketball and football. However, Japanese sports newspapers in the 90s basically talked about baseball, and Kitagawa Hide really didn't understand that stuff at all.

As usual, after quickly skimming through most of the uninformative evening editions of newspapers, he picked up the last daily sports paper, ignored the large amount of baseball news, and turned to the last page, the literature section.

"Are you worthy enough to be Mr. Beichuan's rival?" The title of this literary review is quite offensive.

The writer is Tetsutarou Mori.

Oh, the number one literary critic Kitagawa Fuki.

Kitagawa Hide chuckled and continued reading, then was shocked to find that this article actually took up the entire page.

The content is even more explosive!

Aoi Tanaka publicly exposes the true face of Yomiuri Okata and the dark side of the editorial department of Kodansha's "Gunzo"!
There is also a transcript of the recorded interview at the back.

Tetsutarou Mori also said that he had posted the photos and recordings on the Internet.

The few photos that could be published in the newspaper were quite revealing, featuring not only Yomiuri Okata, but also Akira Yasuhara, Shintaro Ishihara and others.

"This is going to plow up half of the Japanese literary world!" Kitagawa Hide looked at the photos and the commentary, and was shocked and moved for a moment.

Boomerang, boomerang, Kitagawa Hide once again experienced the wonder of the world and the complexity of human nature.

"Hidejun~ The hot water is ready, let's take a shower together~" Wearing a shower cap and only a bath towel to cover her hot body, Agatsuma Yumeko poked her little head out of the bathroom.

"Meow~" Pete ran towards her like a fly, then stopped with a slide.

Cats are particularly afraid of water.

The steaming mist spread out, and Pete was so frightened that he turned 180 degrees and rushed back to the hall.

Beichuan Xiu gave it a helpless look, and took off his clothes as he walked, revealing his strong and muscular body under his clothes.

In order to work and write better, starting this year, Kitagawa Hide goes out for a morning run early in the morning. He also often takes time to exercise to maintain a perfect body shape and plenty of energy.

He also plans to participate in the amateur marathon competition to be held in Izu soon.

Life lies in movement!

Having finally been reborn, Kitagawa Hide pays special attention to physical health issues.

The bathroom was steaming hot. Mengzi untied her bath towel and stood in front of a large full-length mirror, brushing her snow-white and smooth body with a long-handled shower brush.

The Japanese long-handled shower brush is one of the three essential items in a Japanese family bathroom. The other two are the pressurized shower head and the magic broom. You can basically see them in the bathroom of any Japanese home.

The Japanese have a strong bathing culture.

In a place like Tokyo where every inch of land is valuable, many apartment bathrooms are very small. But no matter how small the bathroom is, you can always see a three-piece suite and a bathtub.

Because taking a bath is a habit engraved deep in the soul of the Japanese!

By the way, family bathing is also a custom that has been preserved to this day.

A Japanese family will share a bucket of bath water, and when a daughter is young she will bathe with her father, because when she grows up she can only bathe with her mother or by herself.

There is also a sequence for taking a bath.

Father and son first, then mother and daughter. Or father alone, then mother and children.

These are considered to be small customs that can enhance family bonding, so even in the 90s, the bathing culture has not weakened at all.

But every time he saw my wife Yumeko brushing her body with a long-handled shower brush, he would be distracted.

Because that thing looks too much like a toilet brush
"Hey, Xiujun, you're here. I'll be there soon. Can I rub your back later?" my wife Mengzi said sweetly.

The first time we took a bath together, she was very shy and nervous, but now she is much more relaxed.

As their relationship grows stronger, more intimate things happen, and they are increasingly moving from a young couple to husband and wife.

Beichuan Xiu responded with a smile and walked over to help her squeeze the shampoo.

He is not a male chauvinist. He is happy to do intimate things with the girls he likes. He does not need Agatsuma Yumeko to treat him like an emperor.

After I finish this busy period, I think I should find an opportunity to visit Mengzi's parents.

After April this year, Mengzi will be a senior in college. She will start internships and look for jobs, and it will also be time for her to get married.

As Kitagawa Hide thought about this, he felt more and more relaxed.

When he first came here, he just wanted to have his own little home, a girl he loved and who also loved him, a decent career, and then pay off his debts.

Before I knew it, the little dreams I had always had in my heart were gradually coming true.

After that, it’s all about making Mengzi live a happier life, and then striving to become the “best person in the world”!

At this time, Tanaka Aoi, who had already boarded the plane and was slowly moving away from Japan, was also filled with emotion.

Throughout the past year, she truly experienced the fickleness of the world and the dangers of society.

In high school, with her sweet looks and hot body, she successfully hooked up with Kitagawa Hide, who was a rich second-generation at that time.

In her opinion at that time, giving away a blood didn't matter at all. As long as she could tie down the rich second-generation Kitagawa Hide, she could break free from her poor original family.

As luck would have it, Kitagawa Hideie suddenly went bankrupt after the bubble economy burst.

But at that time she was still thinking that she had invested so much and hadn't found a good buyer, so she might as well squeeze out every last drop of value from him.

Then she would give him hypocritical comfort, live with him, trick him into taking out loans and selling their house to pay for her studies, and then ruthlessly kick him out when she found someone better.

Tanaka Aoi doesn't think she is a very smart person, so she cares more about making the best solution for herself in every choice.

Along the way, she felt that she had done everything right.

But even with such a petty and calculating life, she still couldn't walk out of the path she wanted.

Finally, when she saw the words "Disgusting bitch who poached writers" written on her workstation in red marker, she broke down, became confused, and was completely at a loss.

And I don't know if Saito Reina's behavior was intentional or just random.

Help her wipe away the words that amount to workplace bullying.

This will allow her to leave with some dignity in the end, and will also prevent those who want to disgust her in the end from doing anything excessive.

It's just such a small action.

Tanaka Aoi, who had not looked for a job for half a year and had been staying in a rented house, finally figured it out.

The more you care about something, the less you get.

Kitagawa Hide is becoming more and more famous.

Through television and newspapers, Tanaka Aoi learned about Agatsuma Yumeko.

In her original eyes, this was a woman who was able to be admitted to the University of Tokyo but was extremely stupid.

Is there any point in staying with that kind of man for your whole life?
Until now, she suddenly felt that this was a truly smart woman.

"I'm sorry, and thank you, and then see you again." She looked at the sea of ​​clouds outside the plane and smiled faintly.

The evening edition of the Nikkan Sports News on the 17th immediately set off the entire Japanese literary world.

Arima Yoshiyoshi, who was originally thinking about how to speak up for his apprentice, suddenly felt numb.

He was so angry that he called and scolded Okatake Yomiuri first, and then went straight to find Noma Sawako and Ueno Toru.

The two presidents also had trouble sleeping tonight.

No matter how powerful Kodansha's public relations department is, they cannot fabricate something out of thin air or directly distort the truth to deny such a fact with solid evidence.

In the original history, this incident was eventually downplayed, mainly because Okamoto Yomiuri had already become famous at that time.

With the title of "national-level writer", his toxic chicken soup "Five Bodies Are Not Satisfied" sold more than 500 million copies, making him a hot-selling first-line writer with skyrocketing income.

With a large amount of money, Otaku Hitomi was willing to publicly forgive him again and again, until she finally couldn't bear it anymore and proposed to break up - because later Otaku Yomiuri flirted openly with AV actresses and didn't take her as his wife seriously at all.

But now, Yomiuri Okamoto just wants to make money by relying on his inspirational and good man persona. Now that his persona has collapsed, who would still want to read your toxic chicken soup!

If this book is called "Super Satisfaction of the Lower Body", it might become popular by riding on this popularity.

What is even more troublesome are some of the dark secrets revealed by Tanaka Aoi.

This was a real slap in the face for Sawako Noma.

The 18th is the day when "Bungei" is released. I can still vividly remember the scene where Yomiuri Okata and Yoriyoshi Arima talked freely on the TBS talk show not long ago.

Now it's all a joke!
"Five Limbs Are Not Satisfied" suddenly became a book that everyone despised, and some readers even came to ask for a refund because they felt nauseous just by opening the pages.

In contrast, "Literature and Art", which serializes the final chapter of "Border", has become a super hot commodity!
Everyone can’t wait to see the finale of Border!

Did "Hatsu" and Shimamoto end up together? Or did they break up completely?
Some people are sure to criticize me for this plot about Aoi Tanaka, so let me explain it first.

First of all, it is not whitewashing, it just reflects the complexity of human nature and the magic of society.

You never know who will give you a kick and who will give you a hand.

I always feel that when writing novels, one must reflect the complexity of human nature as much as possible.

There is no fool who is always bad, and there is no fool who is always stupid.

After Tanaka Aoi keeps hitting a wall, she will finally wake up.

Of course, paying back the money doesn’t mean she has really become a good person.

It’s not self-redemption, but all the mistakes you made in the past can be written off.

From Kitagawa Hide's perspective, her paying back the money and exposing the case were good things for him, but the matter itself was not necessarily just.

Maybe she did it for exposure, maybe for favor, or maybe it was just revenge.

Perhaps she was touched by Rena Saito’s small help.

I don’t think these are important.

The important thing is, I think we should be like Reina, Kitagawa Hide and others, and not refrain from doing good deeds even if they are small, and not do bad deeds even if they are small.

A boomerang that flies out will come back one day, but whether it hits your head or falls into your hand depends on what you do.


