Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

Even though "Love Letter" is a romance novel in itself, it surpasses Shindai Hakufeng's previous work, "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas," in its depiction of emotions.

It's safe to say that anyone who has ever had a crush on someone can empathize with the unrequited love story after reading this novel.

Even though I've always liked the other person, they've never realized my feelings.

Many years later, through some unexpected event or object, he suddenly realized that the other person had liked him back then.

But when you want to find the other person, you still can't.

Many adults have experienced this kind of regret.

However, the feelings of unrequited love and regret are vividly depicted in Shiro Shiro's "Love Letter".

It could even be said that even without considering the plot of unrequited love depicted by Shinobu Kaede, just looking at his writing style alone, he could easily surpass 90% of the authors on the market.

This Shinobu Shiro is truly a genius!

Kazushi Tominaga has met many authors, but none of them have met an author as talented as Shirakaze Kamishiro.

Keep in mind that Shiro Shiro is only sixteen years old.

Moreover, she wrote two wildly popular works in just two or three months. As for the unreleased "Love Letter", it is sure to be a hit as well!

This efficiency in starting a book, and the ease with which he can switch between different themes, already demonstrates that Kamishiro Hakufeng is a genius author!

Even the author next to him, Seiji Shindo, whose sales are decent and who is eligible to participate in the Gunzo Newcomer Award, is no match for Shirakawa Kamishiro.

However, he didn't dare to say it openly to Shindo Seiji, because this man had a really bad temper.

If you can't even say a few words, then just let the person have their way.

In any case, the results will speak for themselves.

However, Tominaga Kazuji did not expect that Shindo Seiji would choose to spend a lot of money to have the publishing house run his business.

This is essentially equivalent to paying money to promote one's own book.

Although this operating model has existed for a long time.

Even top-tier authors do this.

But actually, it still depends on the quality of the book.

If your book is good, then there's definitely no problem.

You could even say that if you don't want to spend money on book management, the publisher will cover the costs for you.

This can significantly increase sales.

They can also leverage sales figures to sell the copyright of their work for a high price.

Kazuji Tominaga has read the new book written by Seiji Shindo.

The writing is actually quite good.

However, that was from his editing perspective.

If you want good sales, just put it on the market and you'll know.

The market will test all products, and you will get feedback whether they are good or bad.

If sales are good, the publisher can help him cover subsequent operating costs.

If sales are poor, Seiji Shindo might suffer huge losses this time.

After all, Seiji Shindo spent ten million yen on promotion, which is no small amount.

He did try to persuade Shindo Seiji, but the man wouldn't listen at all.

He even said that if he could get the same level of promotion as Shen Dai Bai Feng, his book "Dream Abyss" would definitely become a hit.

Upon hearing this, Kazushi Tominaga shook his head repeatedly.

The author's circle is extremely small.

Perhaps it was because Shindo Seiji heard some incorrect information that he came to the idea that Kamishiro Hakufeng became so popular only through promotion.

But these editors know best.

All of this is because Shiro Shiro's sales performance is so good that the publisher is promoting it extensively.

The promotional effect was indeed excellent. Compared to the works of some top authors of the same period, the promotion of Shen Dai Bai Feng's novel cost very little, but the results were better.

The better the results, the more willing the publisher will be to promote it aggressively.

This is a win-win situation for both the author and the publisher.

Everyone can make money, so why not?

However, as Seiji Shindo's editor, he still hoped that his authors could make a lot of money, since that would give him a commission.

Kazushi Tominaga walked up to Shiro Kaede Kamishiro and politely extended his hand in greeting:

Good afternoon, Kamishiro-kun.

Of course, Shiro Shiro remembered Tominaga Kazuji, the man in front of him. He was the one who had come over last time and competed with Igarashi Chinatsu to become his editor.

They even used some underhanded tactics.

But those things are in the past.

Shiro Shiro suffered no losses in that incident.

They say you should leave a way out for yourself today, so you can meet again in the future.

Shiro Shiro felt that since everyone had taken the initiative to greet him, there was no harm in responding slightly.

"Hello, Editor Tominaga."

Chinatsu Igarashi didn't have a good impression of Kazuji Tominaga.

Because last time she tried to steal her own author.

The workplace is like a battlefield!

If there's no conflict of interest, then so be it.

But once a conflict of interest is involved, then I'm sorry, even if you are a senior, she will absolutely not back down!

With that in mind, it was highly unlikely that she would greet Tominaga Kazuji.

They even started to become wary.

Because they had already tried to steal from Shiro Kaede once before.

Who knows if he and those top editors from Group A will compete for it again?

"Tominaga-senpai, what brings you here today?" Igarashi Chinatsu asked, frowning.

Kazushi Tominaga smiled and said, "Editor Igarashi, you don't need to be so wary of me. I just came over to say hello and exchange pleasantries with Shiro Kaede."

Upon hearing this, Igarashi gave a soft snort and said nothing more.

She didn't believe that this person would be so kind as to come and say hello without a reason.

Kazuji Tominaga asked Chinatsu Igarashi:

"By the way, Editor Igarashi, I remember that it was decided from above that a launch event would be held for Kamishiro-kun's new book, right?"

Igarashi Chinatsu narrowed her eyes and asked in return:

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Kazuji Tominaga smiled and said:

"It's nothing, just congratulations to Shiro Kaede on the success of his new book."

"But I want to ask..."

"Ms. Igarashi, is this your first time organizing a book signing event for readers?"

Chinatsu Igarashi frowned:

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Kazushi Tominaga smiled slightly and shook his head, saying:

"That's nothing."

"Oh right, the person next to me is named Seiji Shindo, and he's also going to have a signing event with you, Kamishiro-kun, on that day."

"You two will be in the same venue, why don't you give each other a heads-up beforehand?"

"After all, they are editors from the same publishing house."

He figured that since they were both authors, he wanted to introduce them to each other.

Seiji Shindo sneered:

"no need."

"I have no interest in greeting a greenhorn."

Upon hearing this, Shiro Kaede immediately stopped his outstretched hand and smiled:

"I have no interest in greeting people who are ill-mannered and don't know how to respect others."

"Ms. Igarashi, let's go."

When Igarashi Chinatsu heard what Shindo Seiji said, she wanted to give him a good scolding.

After all, Shiro Kaede was still very polite in her eyes, and she probably trembled with fear because this person was older than her.

But now it seems that she is overthinking.

“Indeed, there’s no need to chat with such an impolite person.” Igarashi Chinatsu had witnessed this person’s rudeness before, so she glanced at Shindo Seiji with disdain before following Kamishiro Shirokaze to leave.

Shindo Seiji was clearly taken aback by the fact that Kamishiro Shirokaze dared to say he had no manners, and stood there dumbfounded for a while.

But when he realized what was happening, he was furious and wanted to grab Kamishiro Shirokaze and teach him a lesson.

"Hey kid, are you looking for death?!"

Kazushi Tominaga, who was standing nearby, noticed in time and quickly pulled him back:

"This is a publishing house, don't do anything reckless!"
