Tokyo Love Story

Beichuan Che nodded.

It was only 9:20, and there was still a lot of time in the morning. Besides, he had already told Linyin that they would not go back for lunch today.

"Then please wait a moment."

After receiving the affirmative answer from Kitagawa Che, Kanno Xun breathed a sigh of relief, took out his newly bought tablet computer from the bag beside him, turned on the screen, and continued to read the manuscript.

The story of "Love Letter" was very much to her liking.

It is no exaggeration to say that if she had not had an appointment with Kitagawa Che this morning, then with her personality, she would have calmly finished reading the manuscript of "Love Letter" last night.

When she was reading the manuscript yesterday, she had an indescribable feeling that Beichuan seemed to have made progress again.

If his level was still at a mature but not so mature stage when he wrote "Hear the Wind Sing", then "Norwegian Wood" was already at a fully mature stage, and the current "Love Letter" has reached a further level that she cannot explain.

It's almost on par with, no, it's even a little bit beyond, those veterans in the industry.

Anyway, the more she looked, the more surprised and shocked she was.

Half an hour passed in a flash, and Kanno Xun put down the tablet as agreed, rubbed his eyes slightly, and then looked at Kitagawa Che with a sharp gaze.

"so……"

"Forgive me for interrupting you. I was a little curious before. Teacher Beichuan, are you really writing just out of interest and hobby?"

Interrupting Kitagawa Che's speech, Kanno Fumio leaned forward slightly and looked at Kitagawa Che with anticipation.

She had an intuitive feeling that, regardless of the achievements he had made, in the next twenty or thirty years, as long as Kitagawa Che was still writing, he would become a great writer unprecedented in the Baiyuanchuan Library and would leave a strong mark in the literary world.

This guy is really exaggerating.

Whether it is the improvement in writing skills or the control over story structure, it is a leap forward that is visible to the naked eye.

“I’ve been reading books for a long time.”

Beichuan Che paused and started talking nonsense.

But in fact, if you really have to say it, this can't be considered nonsense. After all, he did read a lot of excellent literary works before he traveled through time.

Although this explanation seems to be full of loopholes, it is actually worth pondering and thinking about.

He left his words here, and Kaoru Kamino would fill in the blanks in his own imagination.

"I understand."

Sure enough, Kaoru Kamino nodded as if he suddenly realized something, as if he understood something.

But she didn't dwell on it too much. After considering her words for a while, she continued to talk about business, "Let's get back to the original manuscript.

“As for the quality, from my personal aesthetic point of view, I can’t find any fault with it.

“I can only say it’s quite excellent.

"So, we can only talk about the contract. I have already drafted the contract, and it is based on the template set by the president at the beginning."

As he said this, Kaoru Kamino took out the contract that had already been printed out from his briefcase and handed it to Kitagawa Che in front of him.

Their contract documents are long-term, but a separate contract still needs to be signed for each specific book.

"Okay, I'll take a look."

Beichuan Che took the contract and read it carefully.

Given Kaoru Kamino's personality, she would definitely not cheat on the contract, but out of caution, he still felt it would be better for him to confirm it with his own eyes.

In less than three minutes, Beichuan Che finished reading the contract.

After confirming that this contract was the same as the previous one he signed when writing "Norwegian Wood", he picked up the pen beside him, wrote his name where it should be, and then stamped it with his seal.

"In this case, it's done."

Kitagawa Che put the cap on the pen, put away the seal, and handed it to Ejima Tadashi who was standing beside him. The latter nodded, put away his personal seal, and then handed the signed contract back to Kamino Kaoru who was in front of him.

"Thank you. The only thing left is the final proofreading. Next, I will..."

Kaoru Kamino looked at Kitagawa Che with some apology.

It’s a bit embarrassing to say this because her work schedule is quite full.

Almost every time, after she finished chatting about business with Kitagawa Che, she had to rush to the next place to meet the author.

Theoretically speaking, for a famous author like Kitagawa Che, as the editor-in-chief, she should treat the author to a simple meal after the new book is agreed upon.

This was also before

"It's okay, just do as you please."

Kitagawa Che smiled and gave Kanno Kaoru a look that said "it's okay".

He can understand that the other person is busy with work.

Moreover, he personally does not like those kind of simple meals that are for building relationships and have a commercial connotation. If there is a choice, he is unwilling to participate.

Instead of having a simple meal like that, it is better to find a time to treat you to a meal based on the idea of ​​'I want to treat you to a meal'.

This way, he will have to get used to it a lot.

"Thank you."

Kaoru Kamino nodded slightly, said thank you, packed up his things, got up and left the cafe.

She had wasted a little too much time here, and compared to the next scheduled time, she was now past the reserved time.

This also means that she no longer has the aftertaste of the leisurely past.

She would have to speed up for the rest of the journey.

Chapter 310: The Good Wife

"The young master is very powerful."

Coming out of the cafe, Ejima Tadashi, who was walking side by side with Kitagawa Tetsu, sighed sincerely.

"Why do you say that suddenly?"

Beichuan Che slowed down his pace, raised his eyebrows, and looked ahead thoughtfully.

It seemed that because the weather was nice and sunny today, there were crowds of people around, people coming and going, and the sound of conversation merged into one. From time to time, couples holding hands passed by them, and there were also many housewives dressed simply hurrying to the nearest shopping street, looking like they were already "late".

"Because I can't do well with the conversation just now or the manuscript written by the young master."

Ejima Myo tilted her eyebrows and secretly glanced at the profile of her young master.

To do anything well, one needs to accumulate experience. In terms of writing and social experience, ten of her may not be a match for the young master in front of her.

"Do you mean to say that the answer was rather blunt?"

Kitagawa Che selectively ignored the word "writing".

"Yes."

Ejima Tadashi nodded slightly, confirming what her young master said.

She could hear his deliberate neglect of "writing", but she didn't think it was a big deal.

After all, that matter is not something that can be learned in a short period of time. Even if the young master talks about practical matters, she, a layman, can only vaguely understand it.

So instead of worrying about this, it is better to be straightforward and focus all your attention on the present.

"Everyone goes through the same process. When I first talked to editor Shen Ye, I was just like you said. I looked calm, but I was very nervous inside."

Speaking of this, Beichuan Che couldn't help but show a bit of awkwardness between his eyebrows.

When we talked about the manuscript in person, Kaoru Kanno was quite objective, but what about the chat on Line afterwards...

He could only say that his editor was truly outspoken.

He still remembers the sentence "Your book has a good chance of winning the Naoki Prize" until now, and it is still vivid in his mind.

"Will the young master be nervous too?"

Tilting her head, Ejima Miu asked a somewhat stupid question that she would never ask on normal days.

"Sure."

Kitagawa Che responded unhappily and gave Ejima Tadashi a look that said, "What are you talking about, idiot?"

"Oh……"

Ejima Mio came back to her senses and immediately realized what a stupid question she had just asked. Her face turned a little red and she felt a little embarrassed.

"But if I must say, emotions like nervousness only exist when there is an aftertaste." Beichuan Che said as he held the girl's hand, "There are too many people around, so we won't get separated."

"it is good."

Ejima Miu had no objection to this explanation.

In other words, considering her current relationship with Kitagawa Che, it doesn't matter whether this explanation exists or not.

"Think about it, when there is no way to retreat, can you still be nervous? Is it natural that there is only one target left?"

Kitagawa Che paused, raised his eyebrows, and after identifying the direction, he led Ejima Miao towards the main entrance of Genchi Department Store.

"What the young master said is too extreme..."

Ejima Tadashi muttered softly.

She could imagine the scene, but if she had to say it, her young master's words were a little too black and white.

"It's just a small talk." Beichuan Che realized his mistake, smiled, and changed the subject. "But then again, why did Miao suddenly think of asking these questions?"

"Because the young master is so familiar with me." Ejima Tadashi was silent for a moment, and then added, "I feel like someone who has been working in society for a long time."

"This is also a result of practice." Beichuan Che squeezed the little hand in his hand and smiled happily, "There must be such a 'standing tall and upright' person in the family, right?"

Right. "

Hearing this, Ejima Miao was silent for a full twenty seconds before she said this in a somewhat apologetic tone.

She could tell that her young master spoke in a casual tone, which meant that he was used to it and didn't want to have any psychological burden.

But as a close attendant, she has her own persistence in these matters.

But, I can't help him now.

"I think you're thinking too much."

Beichuan Che pulled the girl's hand and led her towards him.

He could see and hear that a certain strong-willed attendant felt guilty about this.

But there is nothing to feel guilty about.

You can't force a high school girl to be a master in business and perfect in life, right?

This is impossible and cannot be done.

Ejima Miu didn't say anything, still looking apologetic and worried as before.

After making way for a middle-aged woman who was hurrying towards the shopping street, the two returned to the distance they were standing side by side before.

have to……

When Beichuan Che saw the look on his maid's face, he immediately understood that this girl was getting stuck in a rut again.

"Miao, what do you think of my housework?" Beichuan Che asked this question after carefully considering his words. Then, he immediately added, "Don't say nice things. Just say what you think."

"The young master does his housework fairly well. He is adept at handling a small room, but he is not so good at general cleaning."

Ejima Tadashi gave this answer honestly.

She had originally intended to say it in a more tactful way, but her young master's attitude was a bit tough, so she had no choice but to be straightforward.

"So, how do you think you're doing with your chores?"

Beichuan Che smiled cheerfully, then changed the subject and mentioned this.

"My household affairs?" Ejima Tadashi was stunned at first, then smiled and shook his head as if in realization, "...I understand what you mean, Master."

"So." Kitagawa Che raised his eyebrows, indicating that Ejima Tadashi and the others had arrived, "If it weren't for you helping to take care of the house, I wouldn't have so much energy to focus on these things.
