Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

"I also want to pack up the food you made, Kamishiro-kun, and take it back for Mirai to eat!"

Divine Bai Feng said happily:

"Yeah, of course."

"When I get back, I'll make something delicious for Chitanda Mirai, and you can take it back with you."

Junko Urahara nodded happily and said:

"Ok!"

Chapter 304 Bidding!

Inside the publishing house building.

Shiro Shiro was riding the elevator.

He looked down at his schoolbag.

Inside were the beginnings of several unfinished novels intended for use in negotiations.

Hey~

The elevator doors slowly opened.

Shiro Kaede walked out with his backpack, then went straight to the front desk and said to the receptionist:

"Hello, my name is Shiro Kaede Kamishiro, and I have booked an appointment with Chinatsu Igarashi for editing."

The receptionist already had a very strong impression of Shiro Kaede.

The moment I saw him, I immediately remembered his name and who the editor I was looking for was.

After all, Kamishiro-kun's new book, which was just released yesterday, is incredibly popular!

Even she, the receptionist, knew about this novel, which shows how popular it was!

Furthermore, both the leader of Group C and Ms. Igarashi specifically instructed Shiro Kaede Kamishiro to deliver the item to Group C as soon as possible, as she was coming over today.

So she immediately replied:

"Okay, Ms. Igarashi is already waiting for you. Please come with me, Kamishiro-kun."

Kamishiro Shiro nodded slightly, intending to follow the receptionist over.

The two were suddenly stopped.

Suddenly, Tominaga Kazushi, the editor from Group A, appeared in front of the two.

He smiled at the receptionist and said:

"Let me take Kamishiro-kun there."

"You go back and get busy."

The receptionist was taken aback:

"But Miss Igarashi asked me to take Kamishiro-kun there."

Kazuji Tominaga smiled as usual:

"You're so busy, it's not good for you to run around like this."

"Look, more people are coming now, right?"

"Go and entertain them first, I'll entertain Kamishiro-kun."

The receptionist looked back and saw that someone had indeed arrived. She said helplessly:

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Tominaga, to deliver it."

Kazushige Tominaga looked at Shirokaze Kamishiro, politely took out a business card, bowed slightly, and handed it to him with both hands:

"Nice to meet you, Kamishiro-kun."

"I am Kazuji Tominaga, the editor of Team A!"

Shiro Kaede accepted the business card and politely replied:

"Hello, my name is Shiro Kaede."

Kazuji Tominaga gestured towards the door, indicating for Shiro Kaede to go inside:

"Let's go inside first and then talk."

Shirofumi didn't mind who took him there, and nodded:

"Well, let's go."

As they walked, Tominaga Kazuji smiled at Kamishiro Shirokaze:

"By the way, Kamishiro-kun, your novel 'I Want to Eat Your Pancreas' is really well written!"

"Now, whether it's within the company or outside, the feedback is excellent!"

Kamishiro Shirofumi politely said:

"Thank you."

Kazuji Tominaga continued:

"Your novel is so well-written, it must have taken you a long time to polish it, right?"

"May I ask you how long it took you to conceive this book, and how long it took to write it?"

Jindai Bai Feng said casually:

"I didn't calculate it carefully, I just wrote it down as soon as I thought it through, and it must have taken me quite a while."

Kazuji Tominaga smiled knowingly and said:

"I see."

after that.

He kept trying to find topics to chat with Shiro Kaede.

soon.

The two arrived at a meeting room.

Inside, Shiro Shiro didn't see Igarashi Chinatsu.

Kazuji Tominaga handed a bottle of beverage that was placed on the table to Shiro Kaede Kamishiro, indicating:

"Please sit down, Kamishiro-kun."

Shirokaze frowned slightly, but did not refuse. He sat down and then asked:

Where is Ms. Igarashi?

Kazuji Tominaga smiled very kindly:

"I'll call her over right now."

As he spoke, he tapped his phone a few times and then said to Shiro Kaname:

"It seems like something has suddenly come up for her, so she might not be able to come so soon."

"Well then, I'm not busy at all, and I'm bored, so let's chat for a bit."

"I've been an editor for about five or six years, so I'm sure I can give you better advice than Ms. Igarashi."

"Feel free to ask me any questions about the novel."

"But before that."

"I'd like to ask you first, is your purpose in coming here to sign a contract for the book 'White Night'?"

After listening to his words, Shiro Kaede pondered for a moment and roughly guessed what was going on, but he didn't point it out. Instead, he followed the editor's lead and wanted to hear what other groups were offering.

He nodded and said:

"Yes."

Kazuji Tominaga's face beamed with joy:

"So this is ah."

"May I ask, when Ms. Igarashi signed you to a contract for that book, 'I Want to Eat Your Pancreas,' what percentage of the revenue did she give you?"

Shiro Kaede did not hide anything:

"30%!"

Kazuji Tominaga seemed to be deep in thought, then shook his head repeatedly and sighed:

"Only 30%?"

"Forgive me for speaking frankly, but considering the circumstances of your novel, this revenue sharing is indeed a bit too small."

"If I were to sign your novel, I would give you 35% of the revenue!"

"Because your book is really well written, you deserve a higher percentage!"

As he spoke, he added with some regret:

"But it's not Ms. Igarashi's fault."

"After all, she's just a trainee editor, so the highest she can get is 30% of the revenue."

"It's such a pity. I wish you had met me sooner."

"That way I can bring you even greater profits!"

Shiro Kaede asked with great interest:

"Oh?"

"If you sign a contract with me for this book, how much will you get?"

After a moment's thought, Tominaga Kazuji took a contract from his briefcase and placed it in front of Kamishiro Shirofumi:

"If Kamishiro-kun signs with our Group A, I can get you 40% of the revenue share!"

"But even if we can't get that, we're guaranteed at least a 35% cut!"
