I am a literary giant in Japan

This group of profit-seeking bad boys and girls now has a new leader.

It was Sato Tsuyoshi and Ono Satoko who were sitting at the table at this moment and came up with the "good plan" of "sharing dividends" with Mr. Kitagawa.

The two of them are the most typical Japanese bad boys and girls——

After the millennium, because of TV series and movies such as "I'm the Boss", "GTO", and "Hot Girl", ordinary people and foreigners have a wrong understanding of Japan's bad boy groups.

I thought that most of them were just like those in movies and TV shows, just stray prodigals who had gone astray, rather than real bad guys with ulterior motives.

In fact, movies, TV dramas, books and comics have all deliberately processed and beautified this group, just like the "Young and Dangerous series" in Hong Kong next door, using the so-called underworld ethics and brotherhood to cover up the illegal behavior of this group of social scum.

In reality, most of these guys are assholes like Tsuyoshi Sato and Satsuko Ono.

If left unchecked over time, they will either become the dregs of society or end up being arrested and forced to work on sewing machines.

Just like Shinichiro Azuma, he committed a heinous crime and was sent to a juvenile reformatory for "study".

There are very few outliers like Yumiko, Meggie, Ashin, and Xiaojiu.

However, film and television dramas like to use plot points like "the prodigal son returns" to attract audiences and glorify certain groups.

This is also a trick that best-selling books like to use.

In fact, this is how the general public perceives it.

It’s like a wife who has been subjected to domestic violence for a long time. Once her husband stops abusing her, she feels that her husband has become a better person and is willing to continue living with him.

But outsiders would think this idea is extremely stupid.

She's been abusing you, and you don't want to divorce her. Are you going to keep her around for the New Year?
Of course, these fledgling bad guys are no match for an experienced social figure like Kitagawa Hide.

He wanted to observe the Red Falcons because this small group reflected a larger social group phenomenon.

Moreover, these energetic young people are very closely connected to the Asakusa community, and are very suitable as a perspective to observe the various lives of the entire community.

"Asakusa Red Group" is famous for describing the various lives of people at the bottom of society. It is later recognized by the Japanese literary world as the pinnacle of documentary literature.

Although neither Kawabata Yasunari nor his early readers approved of it, the final result was undoubtedly the exact opposite of what they had imagined.

If we want to adapt this masterpiece into a more modern one, one that is more in line with the Japanese society at that time, we cannot do without the "assistance" of the Red Falcon Group.

As for the self-righteous and pretentious behavior of these little guys, Kitagawa Hide has already thought of a countermeasure.

"Oh, you haven't thought about it yet, Mr. Kitagawa?" Ono Satoko asked Kitagawa Hide impatiently while using a small makeup mirror to touch up her makeup.

If she hadn't noticed that Mr. Kitagawa cared very much about this new book, she certainly wouldn't have dared to make such a fuss.

No matter what she said, the other party was at the top of society, but how high up the society was, a 16-year-old bad girl like her couldn't really tell.

But since he appears on TV so frequently and many big shots want to take photos with him, he must be very rich, right?
It’s not too much to ask such a rich guy for a little dividend, right?
And it’s not like I didn’t contribute. I answered all his questions truthfully.

As for the former boss
After Ono Satoko finished putting on her makeup, she glanced at Ashin, who was standing behind them angrily and had no way to stop them.

This big-breasted, brainless woman, relying on the fact that she has been hanging out in the Asakusa community and Kabukicho for a long time and can fight, does she really think she is the same as the leaders of those big yakuza gangs?

It's obvious that there's money to be made from these two idiots, Meggie and Yumiko, but they insist on asking everyone to stay away from them, saying that it will affect their future.

future?

If you are already a bad boy in Asakusa, what future can you talk about?
Are you crazy?
But it doesn't matter anymore.

Once she gets enough money from here, she can pursue her dream in the film and television industry.

What's wrong with that? Becoming an actor or a star is the way out!
"Teacher Beichuan, our time is limited. If you keep dragging it out, we will be in trouble."

Sato Tsuyoshi has a similar personality to Meggie, but he is purely evil by nature. Since leaving school, he has been tossing back and forth between the juvenile detention center and the Asakusa community, doing a lot of dirty things.

His idea is much simpler.

He made a lot of money through this, and then he lived a carefree life with his brothers, eating, drinking and having fun.

"You guys, stop it!"

Ashin couldn't bear it any longer.

She growled and snarled at the two of them, and also stopped the even more aggressive Meggie.

Now that both Kitagawa-sensei and Kaoru-sensei are here, they might be observing Meggie and Yumiko.

If they leave a bad impression on Mr. Kitagawa and Ms. Kaoru at this time, all the efforts made by Meggie and Yumiko before will be in vain!

Ashin would never let them act impulsively at this time.

But her roar did not intimidate these younger generations as successfully as before.

Ono Satoko, who used to follow her around and yell “Sister Oshin,” sneered and said directly, “Sister Oshin, if you don’t want a share of the profits, then just give me your share.

I'm not as stupid as you guys, working for others for nothing."

"You guys..." Ashin was really furious this time.

But before she took two steps forward, a gentle big hand stopped her.

Kitagawa Hide, who had been talking to Kaoru in a low voice and had explained all the matters to her, finally took action.

This interesting "monkey show" gave him a new understanding of the bad boys and girls at the bottom of society.

No wonder many artists’ works become less and less spiritual after becoming famous and rich.

After all, as social class and status have improved, we have gradually lost our sensitivity to the lives of different classes.

When he was studying, when he saw the sentence "Why not eat meat porridge", Kitagawa Hide thought that Emperor Hui of Jin, Sima Zhong, was a little brain-dead. How could he say such a thing?

But after living in Japan for a while, the wealthy and upper-class people around me did make remarks and felt confused, like "Why not eat meat?"

The class differences in society have actually become so real and outrageous that it is hard for ordinary people to imagine.

In his opinion, "Red Balls in the Asakusa", which records the real life of the lower classes and is similar to "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", is the thread that connects this broken line in literary works.

So-called writers, after having enough food and drink, should also do something for the general public, so that more people can understand the current situation and reality of society.

The guilty ones have always been the capitalists and the top class, while the bottom people in all countries are just pitiful creatures.

What writers need to do is to use their pens to awaken the people at the bottom of society, so that they can wake up and no longer be fooled by the bastards at the top.

The great writer next door, Mr. Lu Yucai, said it well.

"Studying medicine can't save X people!"

He finally chose to give up medicine and pursue literature because he found that only words could awaken the souls of the grassroots people.

Just saving their bodies is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.

Kitagawa Hide reached out and stopped Ashin who was about to fight.

He had a good impression of this loyal and serious little girl.

If he had to pick one person from this group who is most similar to the characters in "I'm the Boss", Kitagawa Hide thinks it should be Ashin.

Even though she is such a bad person, there is still possibility and meaning for her to be redeemed.

So Kitagawa Hide won't let her make a mistake here.

"Teacher Kitagawa?" Ashin's neck and face turned red. He looked at Kitagawa Hide in confusion, then slowly loosened his clenched fists.

She felt a little ashamed and a little desperate, but she still obeyed Kitagawa Hide's will and did not argue with Satoko and the others.

"That's enough, you've done a great job. Shin, go to the back and accompany Yumiko and Meggie.

Just let me handle this.”

Kitagawa Hide smiled at her, then waved for Kaoru to follow.

"Oh, Mr. Kitagawa has finally made a decision?"

Ono Satoko looked at Kitagawa Hidekazu Kaoruko with pride, thinking that it was cool that she had made such a famous Japanese writer bow his head!

"Yes."

Kitagawa Hide glanced at Kaoru, then smiled at her and Sato Tsuyoshi.

"I have understood all your demands. According to the "Royalty Rights Law" promulgated by the Ministry of Justice, you can indeed get a share of the profits from the novel. Of course, I will also pay you the labor costs and information fees for providing information according to the market price."

"Oh, isn't this easy to communicate with? If you had said this earlier, there wouldn't be so much trouble."

Ono Satoko raised her chin even higher, like a little swan who had just won a victory.

Sato Tsuyoshi also waved his hand and the noisy delinquents quickly quieted down.

Ashin felt even more upset when he saw that the Red Falcon Group, which he had personally established, had now become a weapon in the hands of two traitors.

"I didn't say I wouldn't pay you."

Kitagawa Hide's smile became even wider, and then he looked at Kaoru who was standing beside him, and then turned to them and said,
“In short, the subsequent data collection and information gathering for the novel still depends on your assistance.

As for the remuneration, editor Xunzi will bring colleagues from the contract department to contact you directly. We will follow the procedures and legal processes. This will be more formal, right?"

"Of course. Signing a contract is definitely better than directly transferring the money." Ono Satoko agreed readily, feeling that the matter was already a sure win.

She was worried that Kitagawa Hideki would make a verbal promise but then simply go back on his word after the incident.

Now that the other party has taken the initiative to propose using formal procedures, she is even more satisfied.

"From now on, everything will be handled by me and my professional colleagues in the contract department. If there are no problems, follow me to the contract department on the third floor to sign the contract."

Xunzi looked at them with a calm gaze, and there was a hint of pity and disdain in her eyes.

After going through some things, she is gradually growing up.

As Mr. Beichuan said, the world is not black and white. Most of the time, the underlying color of the world is gray.

With the protection of her parents, the elders in the dancing troupe, and teacher Beichuan, her world was always as pure as snow.

But one day she will have to step into society and see the true nature of this world.

This incident was just the right time for her to warm up before officially entering society.

Sato Tsuyoshi and Ono Satoko only cared about the money and benefits, and when they saw that the matter was finalized, they immediately patted their chests and said that they would fully cooperate with Teacher Kitagawa to write the book, and then a large group of people followed Kaoru to the third floor.

After more than a dozen people left the conference room in an instant, the noisy atmosphere suddenly became much quieter.

Ashin lowered his head and remained silent.

The usually cute Xiaojiu pulled her sleeve, not knowing what to do, and could only accompany her in her misery.

The saddest ones are Meggie and Yumiko.

From not being able to see his future clearly, to gradually awakening through "Tokyo People", to working hard to write books and submit them for publication, and gaining recognition.

They are trying to escape from their past miserable life step by step through their own efforts.

Just when everything seemed to be getting better and life was becoming colorful, I was suddenly hit hard by my old friends.

They now don’t know how to face Teacher Kitagawa.

"What's wrong? Why are you all standing there? Continue discussing the human stories of the Asakusa community and provide me with some fresh material."

Beichuan Xiu looked at them one by one and smiled as if nothing had happened.

Ah Xin felt even sadder.

She felt that she was the culprit who had betrayed Teacher Beichuan.

She wanted to say something, but when the words came to her lips, all she felt was helplessness and helplessness.

At this moment, the gentle big hand touched me again.

Kitagawa Hide rubbed her head gently, without any blame in his eyes. Instead, he asked her and Yumiko and the others to follow him back to the table and officially start working.

At this moment, the bad guys present finally felt deeply what true warmth was.

It turns out that humans can really emit heat that is comparable to the sun.

After finishing the "field search", Ashin, still a little dejected, followed Meggie and Yumiko and slowly walked out of the headquarters building of Kitagawa Entertainment.

Ono Satoko and the others signed the contract happily and left.

Judging from their excited expressions when they left, the content of the contract should be quite to their liking.

This made Ashin feel even more uncomfortable and guilty.

Xiaojiu went back to Kabukicho first because he still had to do "daddy work" in the evening.

At this time, there were only three of them walking on the busy street.

After turning a corner and arriving at the parking lot, Meggie was about to get her motorcycle when Ashin patted her shoulder gently.

He looked at Ashin in confusion.

"Let me send Gongzi home today. I have something to say to her alone." Ashin said to them directly.

Meggie glanced at Yumiko and saw her nod, so she patted Ashin's shoulder gently and then rode away decisively on her motorcycle.

He didn't know what kind of conversation the two girls would have, but his intuition told him that he had to give them some private space today.

Yumiko put on her helmet skillfully, sat on the back seat of Ashin's motorcycle, then bent over and held her waist.

The locomotive started and then sped away into the distance.

The unfamiliar street scenes kept receding, and as time passed, the familiar scenes gradually appeared before their eyes.

The sun sets, and its afterglow shines on the car and on them.

After a while, Ashin mustered up his courage and finally spoke.

"Remember the first time I took you on this road by bike?"

"Of course I remember. I think I was just over fourteen years old at that time?"

"Yeah. At that time, I had just bought this car, and I wanted to look cool, so I came to your door every day and drove you around.

We sneaked out together to go shopping, sing karaoke, and occasionally drink and play games secretly.

Those days are the best memories of my life.

You know, it takes about fifteen minutes to ride a bike from my house to your doorstep. Sometimes when I ride a bike in winter, I often shiver with cold because I don’t have money to buy gloves.

But those fifteen minutes are always the happiest and most anticipated fifteen minutes of my day.

I'm looking forward to meeting you in fifteen minutes, and continuing to skip classes, go shopping, have fun, and do anything with you.

But until recently, I suddenly realized that I could repeat such days until I was twenty, thirty, or even fifty years old.

But you can't, Gongzi, you can't do this.

I don't know much.

But what happened these days has made me understand something more clearly.”

The locomotive suddenly stopped.

Gongzi looked up and found that she had arrived at her doorstep without knowing when.

Ashin got out of the car and helped her out, then took off his helmet and just looked at her in the setting sun.

Then she looked at the familiar door that she had seen for many years, and suddenly said seriously: "Now, I only hope for one thing.

That is, every time I come to pick you up, every time I run over and knock on the door, I hope you are not here.

You didn't say goodbye to me, you left nothing behind, you just left so suddenly, and went to the world you were supposed to go to."

"Sister Ashin" Gongzi looked at her and suddenly realized something different.

She also felt the "different things" that Ashin talked about.

"Go."

Ashin didn't say anything else, just patted her butt, then put on his helmet, got on his motorcycle, and left in style.

"Go, and never see you again." (End of this chapter)
