Crossing over, and then being blocked by a rich JK.

Chapter 416 Homecoming Day [4K1]

At one o'clock in the morning, in a high-end apartment in the Shibuya residential area of Tokyo.

"You will come back."

Browsing Watanabe Yu's replies, Daigo Wada, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but frown.

As an old author who has worked in the industry for many years and has won the Naoki Prize, he knows very well what such a casual tone means.

——That is, Watanabe never thought about establishing a character, nor did he intend to establish a character, he just intended to be himself.

Frankly speaking, the risks of this approach are quite high.

Works are the bridge for the author and readers to meet and communicate, but it is always a bridge and can only be a bridge. If you forget this and want to use your true side to communicate with readers and accept media interviews, you will definitely suffer.

He had suffered similar pain before, and at that time he had no way to refute it, so he could only grit his teeth and swallow it.

but!

He and Watanabe, no, to be more precise, the circle he is in now and Watanabe are enemies.

Then he could only suggest that Watanabe should increase his efforts.

The more real it is now, the greater the suffering you will suffer later.

"Especially since you changed the subject."

Daigo Wada looked at the line of text on the screen and couldn't help but sneer.

If mystery novels were so easy to write, there wouldn't be so many authors every year who want to switch to this genre but get rejected by editors.

Yes, he does not deny that Watanabe has talent, and judging by the results of market verification, his talent must be the best of this era, but the problem is that talent needs to be realized in the right place and the right position.

After all, you can't use your talent for realism to force yourself to paint abstract art, right?
If you force it, you will definitely get hurt.

“I am looking forward to one thing right now.”

Daigo Wada lit a cigarette, and the pungent smell of smoke filled the room.

“When your readers find out that your new book sucks, will they still support you as much as they do now?”

He was both jealous and resentful of Watanabe.

They were jealous that this man dared to not give face to those of them who stuck together, and they were angry about the extremely high stickiness of his readers. If he had such a readership back then, he would not have been bullied so badly, and even reached the point where he had to kowtow.

That's why he hates, that's why he is angry.

This is also the idea of the vast majority of people in their circle.

Why can you be so unscrupulous?
Why? !

"call."

He closed his eyes, slowly exhaled a breath, and adjusted his suddenly fluctuating emotions.

Watanabe's existence is like a thorn in their throats, and just seeing his name makes them uncomfortable.

But last year they didn't dare to retaliate and could only endure it.

Now I finally have the chance.

Release date! Yes, release date!
Suddenly, Daigo Wada opened his eyes wide, bloodshot, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Once you start serializing, don't blame us for finding fault with you.

As a colleague, it is very easy to find fault with others, not to mention that the topic to be picked this time is something Watanabe has never written before, so it is easy and enjoyable.

It is really rare to be able to gain traffic and at the same time find ways to disgust your enemies.

The only thing he needs to consider is how to wrap such a sharp comment in a beautiful coat and transform it into "reasonable advice".

Frowning, he lowered his head and thought.

There are many people who think like Daigo Wada.

Some want to take revenge, some want to pull down others, and some want to vent their emotions. In short, in the Internet age where traffic is king, many people have set their sights on the topic of "Watanabe's new book."

Their idea is very simple, just get the traffic first. As for being scolded, that is something only well-known figures need to consider. The worst that can happen is that they can just issue an apology statement before being liquidated.

Regardless of whether the person involved forgives or not, as long as they respond, they can attract another wave of traffic.

If there is no response, then the worst that can happen is that you can just cancel your account. After all, it is not difficult to create a new traffic number and just use it.

So, like mushrooms after rain, when the sky turned from night to day, batches of highly controversial junk messages flooded into major social media platforms, starting the first wave of rhythm.

But to their surprise, the provocative parts they deliberately left behind did not lead to war, but instead directly led to abuse.

Of course, this was an "Internet fight" between two groups of people, and their goal was achieved. After all, the fundamental purpose of provoking a fight is to stir up topics, but the problem is that they were the ones being scolded this time, and no one even spoke for them. They were all being scolded.

This is very embarrassing.

Many people seemed to suddenly come up with an idea and started looking for the original text of the content they screenshoted, and then posted it in the comment section.

As we all know, for every controversial topic, most people will go straight to the comment section first.

Naturally, those bloggers who wanted to fish in troubled waters and earn black traffic were scolded. This is because this is not the Simplified Chinese Internet, otherwise the content of the verbal battle would probably not pass the review, and those with poor psychological endurance might even be scolded as having jade syndrome.

However, thanks to the "wrong examples" of these people, many bloggers who were eager to make a move but had not yet taken action have calmed down and started to consider more carefully how to receive this wave of traffic.

Of course, the most unexpected thing was the management members of Akiba Bookstore.

They had already prepared to invest money in publicity and promotion, and even the budget had been approved, but in the end, the traffic was brought up by Watanabe, the person involved, before they could even put in any effort.

It's quite a subtle feeling like being a bodyguard protecting your employer, but before you can take any action when a problem arises, you see your employer raise his hand and shoot the dangerous person.

Then, what is the meaning of my existence?

Responsible for deducting 666 from the employer?

However, this is just a complaint. The members of the operation department are still very happy as a whole. After all, they saved some budget while achieving their goals. And with the current momentum, they can still add fuel to the fire.

It would be unreasonable not to seize such a good opportunity to promote it.

They also have a hunch that if "White Night Walk" can be successfully published this time, Qiuye Bookstore will have another section for collecting manuscripts.

It’s not like they haven’t tried the serialization model before, but unfortunately, due to the limited sales of the magazine itself, the serialized works, even if of good quality, ultimately fell into oblivion and received mediocre response.

Some readers even wrote to me, saying that they would rather give up this section because it was too easy to delay people.
——The most frustrating thing is that after the serialized novel was completed, they published it as a whole book, and it became one of the top three best-selling novels of that quarter.

This is very embarrassing.

Although the author himself didn't say anything, the people in charge of the magazine at the publishing house had complicated feelings.

Time passed little by little, and with the follow-up publicity by Akiba Books and the rational remarks of many book bloggers, 24 hours later, "Watanabe's new book" was on the hot search list.

Although he did not reach the top and only made it into the top five, it also indirectly confirmed how popular Watanabe is.

And just like that, time came to the day when "White Night Walk" was officially released.

“Aren’t there too many people…”

Looking at the huge crowd outside the locked glass door, the staff of the Gumuwu Bookstore couldn't help but swallow.

However, he did not forget his responsibilities. After putting the last Akiba Bookstore magazine on the shelf, he took a deep breath, picked up the key, walked to the door, and then, like the protagonist in an American TV series facing a zombie apocalypse, he took a deep breath and unlocked the door.

Then, the huge crowd swallowed him up.

Three minutes later, as a group of expectant readers bought out the first batch of magazines on the bookshelf, "White Night Walk" officially sounded the clarion call for its attack.

"long time no see!"

Looking at Mr. Troll who was dragging a suitcase towards her, the saint lady who got out of the car, wearing a straw hat and a white long dress, tied up her black hair in front of her forehead, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and revealed a beautiful smile.

The bright sunlight passed through the shade of the trees and fell on the fair and beautiful collarbone, creating a faint halo. "Long time no see."

Watanabe Yu stopped, thought for a moment, let go of the luggage in his hand, then opened his arms and moved closer to the Saint Lady.

When he watched TV dramas before, he always thought that such actions were a bit silly, but now, his mind has changed.

Although the action itself is a bit silly, as long as someone responds to it, it is not silly at all, but rather it will appear sparkling.

Just like now.

When she saw him open his arms, Amamiya Ayana was actually a little hesitant. It wasn't because she was disgusted, but she was simply concerned about her image.

After all, the driver is still watching, so I have to pay some attention to the president's image.

But this entanglement only stayed in her mind for half a second, and the next moment, she threw away these insignificant things.

Her aunt once told her that everything in the world can be fake, but the hug from someone who truly loves you can never be fake.

Coincidentally, many days after my aunt said this, my uncle, You's father, also mentioned this sentence during a casual chat.

When he said this, there was a rare look of embarrassment on his face, but his smile was quite dazzling.

"I thought you would come down sooner."

Feeling the warmth in his arms, Watanabe Yu lowered his voice and whispered something.

Just as Ryoko understands Ayana, he also understands Ayana.

He knew very well what this seemingly extremely independent girl was actually like.

She is much more afraid of loneliness than most people imagine.

In private, he is also a childish boy who loves to act like a spoiled brat.

But he liked and was willing to let her act coquettishly.

"I can't leave the company."

Amemiya Ayana hugged him tightly like a koala.

She hasn't replenished Watanabe's energy for a long time. If she doesn't replenish it, she will break down.

"Is business good lately?"

Watanabe Yu asked subconsciously.

But as soon as he said this, he realized that he had said something wrong.

In a sense, he is a pretty awesome president. It's okay for him to be away from the company for ten days or half a month, but the most important thing is that he doesn't even know the company's operating status, and he leaves all power to Miss Saint, just like a hands-off boss.

“Business has always been good!”

Amamiya Ayana corrected someone.

Ever since my aunt started to connect with the social circles in Tokyo, the company's business has been growing at a visible pace.

Compared with last quarter, business this quarter is much better.

To give the most intuitive example, Amemiya Company's business has dropped by 15% compared with the previous quarter.

You know, the market is only so big. If one family eats more, then other families will inevitably eat less.

But in the past, those who were forced to give up the cake were usually those other than the Amemiya Company, but now it is the Amemiya Company itself.

"That's good."

Watanabe Yu nodded, then let go of Reina's hand, turned around and picked up the suitcase, and then, in front of Ryoko's slightly helpless look, he stuffed the suitcase into the trunk.

After a simple greeting to grandma, the group got on the car and left the countryside.

In fact, grandma wanted to come and see them off, but Ryoko refused.

Firstly, the weather was very hot. Although grandma was in good health, she was old after all, so it was better for her to take it easy. Secondly, to be a send-off, in fact, she just stood in the yard, so there was not much difference between sending her off and not sending her off.

But it is obvious that in the end both sides took a step back.

Grandma didn't go out to see them off, but just stood in the shady corridor and watched them leave.

"Speaking of which, where's Yuki?"

After the car was driving smoothly on the country road, Hamabe Ryoko took the initiative to start the conversation.

In just a few minutes, she had been surprised twice.

The first surprise was that Ayana would disregard her image and follow her heart to hug You.

But if she thought about it carefully, she could understand it.

It can be summed up in a simple sentence: when a girl meets someone she likes, her first reaction must be to be brave, rather than caring about the opinions of others.

The second surprise is now

——She didn’t even notice Yuki.

"Something happened at home, so I can't come."

The Saint Lady's answer was brief and to the point.

"what's up?"

Hamabe Ryoko tilted her head, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Given Yuki's personality, it must be something serious that would make her choose home at a time like this.

"Well...her father is back."

Amamiya Ayana considered her words and decided to be direct.

"what?"

This time, it was not only Hamabe Ryoko who was surprised, but also Watanabe Yu.

"Don't get excited. She's already disappointed with that man. So is Aunt Naoko." Amamiya Ayana explained, "They didn't meet him alone this time. There were other people present."

Including the two bodyguards arranged by my aunt.

From this perspective alone, aunt is much more considerate than You.

"That's fine."

Hearing this, Watanabe Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

He really did meet his ex-wife (ex-husband), and then took advantage of the private meeting to commit the crime.

Often, the perpetrator has always played the role of the dependent in the previous marriage.

"But I still suggest you go over there and take a look when you get back."

The Saint Lady suddenly changed the subject.

"After all, Yuki-chan might be emotionally unstable."

Blood ties are so wonderful.

Even if you have already been disappointed, you will still be upset and even extremely anxious because of some of the other person's words.

"it is good."
