Tokyo Love Story

Chapter 367 Their Saturday

After the specific date of the concert was confirmed, time seemed to fly like wings. Half a month passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, it was the end of April.

Saturday, at 10 a.m., in the booth of the Magic Cafe under the Baiyuanchuan Building.

"At this point, today's mission has come to an end for the time being."

After carefully putting away the reprint contract signed by Kitagawa Che, Kanno Fumio put down his briefcase and let out a breath of relief.

Since Beichuan's works started to sell well, she, who was originally a marginal figure in the editorial department, suddenly became a popular "veteran editor", and all kinds of submissions came in.

In the past, she was thinking about how to establish contact with new authors, but now she is thinking about how to arrange meeting times so as to complete the day's appointments as quickly as possible.

Just like what Kitagawa Che wrote in "Hear the Wind Sing", human desires are always infinite. When they cannot even get enough food and clothing, all they think about is how to get enough food and clothing. After this basic condition is met, all kinds of desires and worries will come up all at once. Life is like this, days follow one after another, and problems follow one after another.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Seeing that Kamino Kaoru looked extremely exhausted, Kitagawa Che said something to comfort her.

He was quite aware of how busy Kaoru Kamino was.

After all, they chat on Line from time to time.

Most of the conversations were about work, and occasionally they would mention each other's lives.

However, when talking about life, it was mostly Kaoru Kamino who did the talking.

During this process, he also got a general idea of ​​Kaoru Kamiya's weekly work schedule.

From being ignored to wanting to even borrow a cat's hand, it can only be said that what you gain you lose.

"This is my job." Shen Ye Xun raised his head and smiled. "Besides, it's a good thing to be busy at work. It's better than staying in the office alone and not knowing what to do."

Hearing this, Beichuan Che nodded in understanding.

Just listen to this.

If it was really as she said, then the fatigue between her brows would not be so obvious.

In the workplace, if a colleague who was once at the bottom of the class suddenly has a higher performance than his peers, even if the company does not have such a strong competitive spirit, that is, there is no so-called KPI performance appraisal system, colleagues will have different ideas.

Jealousy, surprise, envy...all kinds of emotions will occur in different people, and then these external emotions will be fed back to Kamiya Kaoru in various forms.

And this is only from my colleagues.

As for work, there are even more worries, not to mention that I am engaged in the profession of physical book editing.

This kind of work is full of troubles.

Anyway, to be fair, Beichuan Che believes that he is not good at this job.

He doesn't have that much patience.

"Oh, right." Kaoru Shenye rubbed his nose as if he remembered something, and then asked, "What plans does Mr. Kitagawa have for you next?"

"Arrange?" Beichuan Che was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "Yes."

He has made an appointment with a girl.

Or to be more precise, he had already promised someone else on Wednesday of this week.

"Then it can only be next time, right?"

Shen Ye Xun smiled bitterly, and there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

She originally wanted to invite Beichuan Che to lunch, but as it stands now, this invitation, which had been scheduled since the beginning of the year, will have to be postponed.

"I do have an appointment this time."

Beichuan Che smiled apologetically.

He could tell that his editor really wanted to treat him to a meal, but the problem was that he did have an appointment today and probably wouldn't be able to get away in the short term.

"Then I'll definitely do it next time!"

Kaoru Kamino put away the expression he had just had, winked at her in a playful manner, and then packed up his things.

She knew Beichuan Che's character and understood that this mature young man would not lie about such things.

Since he has an appointment, I can only leave with regret.

Still, it's pretty good.

This way, you can have about an entire afternoon to catch up on some sleep.

Since the sale of "Love Letter", her daily workload has been increasing day by day.

Those young artists who were influenced by Beichuan's works were like people who had been injected with chicken blood. One after another, their submissions piled into her mailbox.

Just to read the manuscripts every day, she had to squeeze out almost all of her free time. She was even forced to work overtime at night and had to work until two in the morning to barely finish it.

Fortunately, President Bo Yuan also realized the intensity of her work and gave her more freedom and convenience, so that her sleep time was not squeezed to less than six hours a day.

"Then I'll leave first?" Picking up his briefcase, Kaoru Shinno stood up. "I have nothing to do this afternoon, so I can leave work a little earlier today."

"be careful on the road."

Beichuan Che nodded and responded politely.

"Okay, bye."

"Goodbye."

After saying goodbye to each other, Kaoru Kamino hurriedly left the cafe.

For her, her fatigue had reached its limit.

If nothing unexpected happens today, she will be able to sleep peacefully for a long time.

After Kamino Kaoru's figure completely disappeared outside the glass window, Kitagawa Che took a sip of the lemonade in front of him slowly, then stood up, holding the cup, and walked to another secluded booth that could barely see this side.

"Wait a long time?"

After sitting down, Kitagawa Che raised his head and looked across the table at Tsugumi Seina, who was supporting her chin with her left hand on the table, biting a plastic straw lightly in her mouth, and poking a piece of dessert with a fork.

"It's not that long, it's just..."

Tsugumi Seina replied subconsciously.

and many more……

Why does this voice sound so familiar?

Tsugumi Seirina frowned and raised her eyes.

Beichuan Che's face was reflected in those beautiful eyes.

Clear! ?

"You and I……"

Tsugumi Seina's face flushed instantly, and then she quickly let go of the plastic straw in her mouth, put down the fork in her hand, and sat up straight.

He looked like he was daydreaming in class, and was then called upon by the teacher to answer a question.

She really didn't expect that things with Beichuan Che would end so quickly.

In her impression, a conversation like this with an editor should, in theory, last a long time.

They would chat, argue, or quarrel with each other over small clauses in the contract and trivial matters.

But no matter what, this is not something that can be settled in just half an hour.

She is no complete amateur in this regard.

At the beginning, she also accompanied Kashiwamoto Shiori to talk to the editor.

She had a deep impression of the editor who was in charge of Shiori Kashiwamoto.

Of course, it's a good impression.

The editor was not mean, nor did he deliberately make things difficult. He had a strong work attitude and ability. The entire meeting went quite smoothly with almost no wrangling.

But even so, it took a full hour and a half from the beginning to the signing of the contract.

"You? Me?" Beichuan Che repeated her stumbling words and teased her with a sly smile, "Does our sister Rina want to wait a little longer?"

He saw it clearly just now, Tsugumi Seina poking at the dessert with a bored look on her face.

Of course, I'm not making fun of her or thinking that this situation is a bit too rude.

I just simply think that this girl is cute and has the style of a girl next door.

After all, if Tsuchiya Serina wasn't so carefree and occasionally childish in private, they wouldn't have become familiar with each other so quickly.

"Of course I don't want to."

Tsuchiya Seina pursed her lips. At work, she prided herself on being very patient. She was also very patient when shopping. But when she was waiting for someone, especially when she was waiting for Kitagawa Che, she always felt that the days were passing by like years.

It was not easy to get the chance to go out with him alone.

Even if there is a period of time when I am not alone, such opportunities are quite rare.

As a result, the limited time alone will be consumed by inexplicable things.

Just thinking about this made her feel extremely anxious.

However, anxiety is anxiety, and understanding is understanding.

She understood the priorities and hoped that Beichuan Che could handle his affairs well.

After all, one thing is one thing.

"So." Kitagawa Che shrugged and said something nice, "In order not to let our sister Rina wait too long, I have to speed up a bit."

As soon as she finished speaking, Tsugumi Seina's expression, which had just relaxed, was suddenly covered with red again.

"Fool!"

She lowered her eyebrows and muttered something quietly in a voice that only she could hear.

Even though she was aware that Beichuan Che had this kind of temper and would suddenly say some unexpected love words to you, she still felt embarrassed when she actually encountered it.

After all, it is really too damaging for someone who is always straightforward to say such love words.

call.

After taking several deep breaths, Tsuchiya Seina put away her shy look, raised her eyebrows, and looked at Kitagawa Che in front of her seriously, "Rest time is rest time, work time is work time, you can't be anxious at this time, understand?"

If Beichuan Che gave up some of his interests in order to prevent her from waiting so long, she would feel very guilty.

"Don't worry, what you worried about did not happen."

Seeing Tsuchiya Serina's expression, Kitagawa Che immediately understood what she meant and explained it immediately.

The contract that Baiyuanchuan Library gave him made considerable concessions in terms of benefits. In other words, it was quite generous.

In other words, there is actually little room for discussion and modification, because everything that needs to be negotiated has already been clearly written in the original contract.

This time he came to sign the contract, to put it bluntly, it was just a formality.

As an author, he has the need, responsibility and qualifications to clarify the reprinting of his work. At the same time, making some things clear will be beneficial to both the publishing house and the author.

This can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble and misunderstanding.

"That's good."

After hearing what Kitagawa Che said, the stone in Tsugumi Seina's heart fell to the ground.

If he really said that he subconsciously ignored some terms for the sake of speed, she would definitely be happy and distressed.

I am happy that he cares about my feelings, but I am sad that he lost what he deserved in order to take care of my feelings.

"Next, there's still some time until lunch time, what do you think?"

Kitagawa Che raised his eyebrows and asked for the opinion of Tsugumi Seina in front of him.

To be honest, he had no experience in planning this kind of solo trip and was a little unfamiliar with it.

For the previous few dates, it was Ejima Miu who helped him come up with many plans.

It is no exaggeration to say that it really helped him a lot.

If he really had to do it himself, it would probably be a simple and unpretentious set of watching a movie and having a meal.

As for the rest, he really couldn't think of it.

"Sit here for a while."
