Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

Seiji Shindo was furious:

"That brat dared to say I have no manners?"

"You can tolerate this?"

Kazuji Tominaga was deeply ashamed:

"Didn't you call him a little brat first?"

"Why can't you stand it when someone says something to you?"

Seiji Shindo angrily said:

"I'm his senior!"

"And she's older than him, so why does he dare to talk to me like that?"

Japan has a strict hierarchical system.

Generally speaking, in the workplace, disrespecting superiors is considered an unforgivable act.

Therefore, it is quite common for bosses to scold their subordinates in TV dramas.

Many subordinates even developed depression because of this high-pressure environment.

However, Kazushi Tominaga knew that the relationship between Shirakaze Kamishiro and Seiji Shindo didn't really qualify as a workplace relationship.

After all, they are both novelists, and once they leave the publishing house, there is actually not much connection between them.

However, if this gets into the author community, it might damage Shindai Shirofumi's reputation.

And Seiji Shindo did indeed intend to share what happened today with his fellow authors, to tell them just how arrogant and despicable Kamishiro Shirokaze's attitude was.

How dare you call him ill-mannered?

This is absolutely intolerable!

Editor-in-Chief's Office.

Shirakaze Kamishiro and Chinatsu Igarashi arrived here.

Shiro Shiro turned his gaze to the white-haired old man, Yamanaka Morio, sitting in front of him.

"Long time no see, good afternoon, Editor-in-Chief Yamanaka."

Yamanaka Morio slowly raised his head, looked at Shiro Kaede's incredibly handsome face, and after carefully examining it, he nodded repeatedly, secretly delighted.

I just feel that when the press conference starts at the venue, with the quality of Shindai Shirokaze's new book and its appearance, it will definitely make that old geezer from Kodansha envious and jealous.

He's so handsome, only sixteen years old, and has three wildly popular books.

This would be a sensation in any publishing house.

It's the kind of thing that needs to be worshipped.

If this new author, Shiro Kaede, manages to have a longer line at his autograph session than the established authors from Kodansha, that would be truly interesting.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Yamanaka Morio originally intended for Kamishiro Hakufeng to hold a book signing event when his second book was released.

At that time, a well-known new author from Kodansha also held a book signing event at that venue.

He did this to dampen the spirit of Kodansha's arch-rival.

Unfortunately, Shinobu Shiro always said that holding a book signing event for the second book would be too ostentatious, so he had no choice but to not do so.

But now that it's the third book, there's no reason why Shiro Kaede of the Gods should refuse, right?

Du Fu in the mountain said solemnly:

"Kamishiro-kun, I came to see you today to discuss the new book and the book signing event."

"You know that, right?"

Jindai Bai Feng nodded and said:

"Yes, Ms. Igarashi already told me that."

Yamanaka Todoro nodded slightly and said solemnly:

"This is a very good publicity opportunity."

"If you're willing to hold a book signing event, I'll leverage this opportunity to boost your book sales, without a doubt."

"So this time, I highly recommend that you participate."

"To be more precise, I can't think of any other reason why you could refuse."

Igarashi Chinatsu, standing to the side, also looked at Kamishiro Hakufu with great anticipation.

She also really hoped that Shiro Shiro would be able to attend this autograph session.

Because once he participates, with Shindai Shirokaze's appearance and the quality of his new book, his popularity will definitely skyrocket.

At that time, both the new book "Love Letter" and the previous books "White Night Walk" and "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas" will see their sales increase due to this book signing event.

Simply put, it's the celebrity effect.

Once a celebrity becomes popular, their previous works will inevitably be revisited.

After thinking about it, Shiro Kaede realized that if he could earn more money, he really had no reason to refuse.

"Okay, sure." Shiro Shiro shrugged and agreed.

Yamanaka Todoro was extremely excited:

"Okay, that's what I've been waiting for!"

"Remember to come to the venue, and don't be late!"

Chapter 398 I'll shoot if you dare come any closer!

Chinatsu Igarashi was also very excited.

After all, she had long wanted readers to know about Shiro Kaede.

He's willing to attend the autograph session this time, so the scene is sure to be very popular.

Yamanaka Morio recalled something and quickly gave instructions:

"Oh, by the way, remember to wear formal attire, Kamishiro-kun."

"If you haven't bought it yet, go buy it in advance, okay?"

Jindai Bai Feng nodded and said:

"I have formal attire, don't worry."

The more Yamanaka Morio thought about it, the more he felt that this kid was still so young, and his formal attire probably wasn't very nice. It was likely that he only wore formal attire for ordinary occasions.

This time, however, it will be aimed at the general public, so we should definitely buy something of higher quality.

He was thinking that maybe he should just take the kid to buy a set.

After all, this is a chance to show off in front of our old rival, so we have to make a good impression no matter what.

"Never mind, I'll take you out to buy a formal suit later."

"Let's grab a bite to eat after we're done shopping."

Shiro Kaede had already decided that she wouldn't have time to go on a date with them in the future.

After all, coming all this way, there will definitely be some dinner parties and such.

He had been invited to meals by Igarashi Chinatsu or her team leader when he came before, so he was used to it.

As for buying clothes and such, that's perfect too.

Shiro Shiro also felt that she hadn't had enough clothes for her recent dates with Mirai and the others, and that she really should buy a few more outfits.

"Well, yes."

Upon hearing this, Igarashi Chinatsu's eyes lit up, and she pointed to herself, saying:

"Editor-in-chief, can I go too?"

Yamanaka Morio didn't seem to care much about that, and besides, Igarashi Chinatsu was also Kamishiro Shirokaze's editor, so he could give her some instructions if she came over. He nodded and said:

"You come too."

Chinatsu Igarashi was overjoyed to hear this, thinking that she could get a free meal.

Besides, the editor-in-chief is so old, when he invites others out to dinner, he will definitely go to some restaurants that he has eaten at very good places.

But the most important thing is that this way I can have dinner with Shiro Kaede.

After all, he's usually quite difficult to ask out, and now that he has a girlfriend, it's even more so.

Speaking of Shiro Shiro having a girlfriend now, Igarashi Chinatsu couldn't help but feel a little regretful. She wished she were prettier.

As night fell, a secluded izakaya in Tokyo was brightly lit and bustling with activity.

Despite its remote location, it attracts many diners who sit together chatting and drinking, filling the air with a lively and joyful atmosphere.

In this scene, Shirakawa Kumashiro, Morio Yamanaka, Chinatsu Igarashi, and Miyu Ota, the editor of Group C, arrive and prepare to have dinner.

Yamanaka Morio, a sprightly old man with white hair, enthusiastically recommended the restaurant's dishes to Kamishiro Hakufu.

He said expectantly, "I've been enjoying the food at this restaurant for many years, and it's truly exceptional. Kamishiro-kun, you must try it later; I'm sure you'll love it."

His tone revealed his deep affection and high regard for the restaurant's cuisine, as if he couldn't wait to share this delicious food with Shiro Kaede.

Ota Miyu smiled and said:

"This restaurant is really delicious."

“Even if the editor-in-chief doesn’t bring us here, we editors will occasionally come here for a meal.”

As a master chef, Shiro Kaede naturally pays close attention to the dishes served at other restaurants.

Even if they don't say anything, he will carefully taste it and try to see if he can replicate it in his own cooking.

However, he didn't make any grand pronouncements; he simply nodded calmly and said:
