I am a literary giant in Japan

Chapter 408: The True Inheritance of Evil Will Be Repaid with Evil (Single Chapter Deleted)

"What?! You mean to say that not only will we not get the magazine profit dividends promised in the contract, but we will also be arrested and interrogated by the juvenile detention center?"

Looking exhausted, Ono Sato, who had just been drunk all night with Sato, sobered up immediately after hearing what the suited man in front of her said.

Sitting side by side with her, Sato Tsuyoshi, who had been so arrogant just now, had a dull look in his eyes and had no idea what to say.

"No. Allow me to correct you."

The man in the suit is a lawyer at Yamaguchi Law Firm.

After receiving a call from the president and teacher Hiroshi Yamaguchi, he rushed over to deal with the two annoying juvenile delinquents for the editor of "Kitagawa" Kaoru.

"First of all, according to the labor contract signed between Kitagawa Entertainment Co., Ltd. and you, Ms. Ono Satoko and Mr. Sato Tsuyoshi, you are entitled to receive a share of the profits generated by Asakusa Red Group."

"Wait. Then why did you say just now that we have no right to profit sharing?" Ono Satoko was also confused.

"Because what you just said was the profit sharing of the magazine, which of course has nothing to do with you and Mr. Sato Tsuyoshi."

The lawyer in a suit pointed to the labor contract patiently and explained it line by line.
"Please read, it is clearly written in Article 32 that you are entitled to receive a share of the profits generated by the novel "Asakusa Red Group".

Kitagawa magazine and Asakusa Red Group are not the same thing, so you are certainly not entitled to any share of the magazine’s profits.”

"I understand. Anyway, whether it's a magazine or a novel, I can get dividends, right?"

Ono Satoko opened her eyes wide and read the labor contract carefully, which she had not read carefully before.

It was clearly written on it that there would be profit sharing for the novel "Asakusa Red Group".

But what is the difference between these two things?

From the press release written by Yamazaki Yosuke, it can be seen that this issue of "Kitagawa" depends entirely on "Asakusa Red Group".

Even if the profit is less, it should be at least several hundred thousand yen, right?

"Yes. It's written in the labor contract, so you can get it."

The lawyer in a suit nodded with a smile and took out a new document from his briefcase.
"According to the contract, the profits generated by Asakusa Red Group these days will be distributed to you at a rate of 1%, which is approximately 7.32 yen."

"7.32 yen in less than three days. In other words, I can get at least several hundred thousand yen in a month?"

Ono Satoko did a simple calculation on her fingers and her brows were filled with joy.

"Yes." The lawyer in a suit nodded. "According to my calculations, your dividend income this month is approximately 52.1 yen."

52.1 yen!

Ono Satoko remembers that she used to come to Kabukicho often, but her office worker didn’t have such a high monthly salary!
Sato Tsuyoshi's eyes lit up as he asked, "I also got 1% dividend, so I can also get 52.1 yen!"

"Yes, you do too. Everyone who signs this labor contract will receive a certain amount of dividends."

The lawyer in the suit continued to nod and smile.
"Congratulations."

"That's great!" Ono Satoko felt that the guy in front of her who claimed to be a lawyer would not deceive her about such a thing.

52.1 yen, and that’s just the first month’s profit dividend!
It is said that this kind of novel can keep selling and keep generating profits!
In other words, your food ticket is guaranteed for the rest of your life?

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. However, she turned around and remembered another thing the lawyer in the suit had just said, so she quickly asked, "By the way, what did you say about juvenile detention center?"

"Yes, that's the second thing I want to tell you."

The lawyer in suit pushed aside all the documents regarding the profit sharing of "Asakusa Red Group" and placed a red-headed document right between the two of them.

“According to the employment contract, you are receiving profit dividends based on the real prototype of the novel.

However, Mr. Kitagawa clearly wrote in the novel and in the various reporting documents submitted to the relevant departments that the plot of the novel is not fictional but mostly based on real events.

Oh, and the filing documents clearly indicate which events are real and which are fictional."

The lawyer in a suit flipped through the red-headed document. The details inside were dazzling, but he quickly found some key points and pointed them out to the two men.

"Ms. Ono Satoko corresponds to Ono Fukuko, a member of the Red Group in the novel, and Mr. Sato Tsuyoshi corresponds to Sato Tsuyoshi, a member of the Red Group in the novel. Is there any objection to this?"

"No," Ono Satoko and Sato Tsuyoshi answered at the same time.

This was agreed upon during our previous communication with Kitagawa Hide.

It should be said that the "Red Regiment" in the novel is an adaptation of the "Red Falcon Regiment", the characters correspond one to one, and it is written in black and white in the labor contract.

They provided their stories to Kitagawa Hide, who rewarded them with profit dividends.

"That's fine. In the novel, Ono Fukuko is suspected of committing adultery, underage sexual transactions, kidnapping and extortion, and Sato Tsuyoshi is suspected of committing kidnapping and extortion, intentionally injuring others, burglary, and other illegal acts.

Then according to the filing documents submitted by Mr. Beichuan, these plots are true, and you two acknowledge that the prototypes of the characters in the novel are you."

The lawyer in a suit flipped through the red-headed documents one by one. His voice was still calm, but very harsh, which made the two of them stunned for a moment.

"Wait, wait," Ono Satoko interrupted him quickly, "Are you saying that these things should be blamed on us?"

"No, it's not on you. According to what you just said, first of all, you admitted that Ono Fukuko in the novel "Asakusa Red Group" is you, and then the plot of the novel was also reported to be true. These are all clearly written in the labor contract and related documents.

Of course, the relevant authorities will not punish or detain you based solely on the plot of a novel, but they will send staff to investigate, and if it is true, there will be follow-up actions. "

The lawyer in suits laughed.

“Because it involves many civil and criminal cases, many departments will be involved, which may be troublesome, but don’t worry, if it has nothing to do with you, the authorities will naturally give you justice.

By the way, the profit dividends from the novel will also be paid to you as scheduled.

The same is true for Mr. Sato Tsuyoshi. "

Sato Tsuyoshi is a fool now.

No matter how stupid he was, he now understood that he had been cheated by this so-called labor contract!
Some of the things in the novel are true, and some are false, but he himself can't explain it clearly and can't provide any evidence.

As for evidence, it is the Beichuan editorial department that may have a large amount of audio and other evidence in which they admit the "facts".

He had been to a juvenile detention center once and to the juvenile court several times, but he escaped unscathed each time.

But this time it feels a little different.
"If you have no other objections, please sign this document. I will immediately urge the financial department of Beichuan magazine to distribute profit dividends to you two."

The lawyer in suit saw their distracted expressions and immediately felt confident of victory.

He worked at the Yamaguchi Law Firm for many years, but unfortunately he was never able to become the confidant of Mr. Hiroshi Yamaguchi.

This time, he was able to help Mr. Hiroshi Yamaguchi and Mr. Kitagawa, and it was such a simple litigation issue. He suddenly felt that his luck had turned and it was time for him to rise to prominence!

The two bad guys in front of them might be difficult to deal with in their world, or for most ordinary people.

They take advantage of their age and the protection of the law to do whatever they want, and do not treat other people as human beings. Ordinary people cannot do anything to them.

But in his eyes, they were just two soft persimmons that were easy to bully.

Moreover, a perfect trap has been set for them to fall into.

Isn’t this a sure win lawsuit?
signature?

Sign a stupid signature!

Ono Satoko finally understood everything.

If they sign, they will most likely go to a juvenile detention center or a reformatory to spend time in prison. With the tragic experience of Shinichiro Tou, these juvenile offenders have become more restrained.

She didn't think Kitagawa Hide just set sending them inside as the ultimate goal.

"52.1 yen is the profit dividend you can get if you sign the contract. It's fair to everyone."

The lawyer in the suit saw their hesitation and immediately took the next step.
“Of course, signing means you acknowledge what is written in the employment contract.

However, if you don't sign, it means that you deny these things, and the relevant departments will also have to consider your feedback when they investigate.

At least this way, it will be slightly more advantageous to you than if both of you agree to these things."

"If you don't sign or approve, does that mean the contents of this employment contract can be invalidated?"

Ono Satoko understood.

"Yes. Similarly, the profits generated by Asakusa Red Group will have nothing to do with you two."

The lawyer in suits was concise and to the point, and added a killer trick at the end.

"By the way, I heard that there are other people who have signed similar contracts. As far as I know, they all chose to deny the labor contracts."

"Everyone" Ono Satoko suddenly realized.

No wonder no one has contacted me recently!

It turns out that they all surrendered to the enemy!

"I" was still hesitating and hoping for a lucky break, but Sato Tsuyoshi on the side had already expressed his opinion with a roar!
"I give up, I give up! I'm willing to give up those dividends! As long as they don't arrest me, I'm willing to do anything!"

The next morning.

A drizzle of rain fell again in Tokyo as autumn was about to come.

Kaoru, who successfully helped Mr. Kitagawa solve the problem of the bad boy group, walked in the rain and came to the agreed place alone——

Asakusa Shrine.

"Is that you, Kaoru-chan? Teacher Kitagawa is here and is waiting for you in the inner hall."

Mitsuha Miyamizu, wearing a shrine maiden's costume, walked over with a smile on her face.

Xunzi's flying thoughts instantly returned to her mind. She bowed slightly to her, then nodded and walked inside.

"Hey, can you wait a moment?" Miyamizu Mitsuha gently pulled her sleeve.

"Huh?" Xunzi turned around and looked at her.

"Um, Kaoru-chan should have starred in "The Dancing Girl of Izu", right?"

Mitsuha Miyamizu looked at her again and again, and the more she looked, the more she felt that she looked like the little dancer in the TV series "The Dancing Girl of Izu".

After the TV series was broadcast, countless people were impressed by the little dancer played by Kaoru.

That kind of innocence, simplicity and naivety is a level of performance that most actresses can never reach.

Because of this TV series, Mitsuha Miyamizu even plans to leave the shrine and try to interview for a job at a film and television company!
"Oh, yes." Kaoru remembered that Mitsuha Miyamizu and Mr. Kitagawa had a good relationship, so she nodded and said, "I actually played the role of the little dancer. But I have left the film and television industry."

"Ah, it really is you! That's great!"

Miyamizu Mitsuha hurried back to the small platform, then rushed over with a pen and paper.

"Kaoru-chan, can you give me an autograph? I like you so much! You played the little dancer so well!"

"Oh, okay." It was also the first time for Xunzi to encounter a star chaser, so she carefully took the pen and respectfully wrote her name on the white paper.

After getting the autograph, Mitsuha Miyamizu was overjoyed and decided to show it off when she got home and then frame it as a family heirloom!

After signing, Xunzi said goodbye to her and walked into the inner hall alone.

At this time, Kitagawa Hide was already sitting in the inner hall. When he saw her coming, he waved.

"Kaoru-chan."

Xunzi sat down beside him obediently.

"Teacher Kitagawa." She greeted Kitagawa Hide.

"Yeah. Thank you for your hard work."

Kitagawa Hide received the handling information from the Bad Boys Group last night.

These were all within his expectations and there was nothing surprising about them.

He was more concerned about the impact of this matter on Xunzi, to see if it could be a booster in her growth.

Kaoru, who came from Kitaizu, has the innocence and childishness unique to simple rural people.

This is actually an excellent character foundation.

But in Tokyo, where good and bad people mix together, this may become her fatal flaw.

Kitagawa Hide has no intention of changing Kaoru's character.

But he hoped to do something to stimulate the mature and calm side of her character, or accelerate her growth, so that she could adapt to the more complex Japanese literary world more quickly in the future.

These bad boys and girls are the whetstone that Kitagawa Hide uses to sharpen Kaoru's sword.

Kaoru solved the problem perfectly and it seemed like she learned a lot from it.

"You have already planned everything. I am just executing it. It is not hard work."

Kaoru whispered.

"Well, let's not talk about that for now. Let's take a look at the latest issue of 'Literature and Art'."

Beichuan Xiu pushed a copy of "Literature" on the table to her.
"My latest novel, The Villain, is serialized on it. I hope you can take a good look at it."

"Yes." Xunzi had actually bought "Wenyi" this morning, but she had been busy with studies and work recently, so she had planned to wait until the end to read it.

Seeing that Teacher Beichuan specifically called her to come and read a book, she immediately took it seriously.

Kawade Shobo has already promoted the book "The Villain" vigorously.

The novel is based on the heroine Masumi Hayashi who was involved in the Wakayama poisonous curry incident.

Because he has used real events to write many books, Mr. Kitagawa has recently been caught up in some public opinion storms.

Some tabloids believe that Mr. Beichuan has run out of ideas and has to resort to social hot spots to stimulate readers' interest.

Some critics also believe that Mr. Kitagawa is succumbing to the Nobel Prize, and that writing some realistic themes, especially novels criticizing Japanese society, may change the Nobel Prize Board and the jury's opinion of him.

Of course, these small-voice, sensational media won't cause much stir.

Like Kaoru, most readers now just want to read the book carefully and appreciate the "Hayashi Masumi" created by Mr. Kitagawa.
