By then, it might be impossible to stand by his side again.

Even though she knew that Beichuan Che was not that kind of person, she couldn't get over it just because of her own hurdle.

"Hello."

Tsugumi Seina couldn't help but yawn again.

She really wasn't awake yet.

Calculating the time, she had just rested for six hours.

Compared with her previous regular sleeping hours and fixed sleep duration, today's sleep time was enough to make her feel listless for the whole day.

"So..." Tsugumi Seina covered her mouth and continued sleepily, "What did your editor say?"

"Sister Risa said that the book signing will help increase my popularity and strengthen the cohesion of readers."

Shiori Kashiwamoto repeated what Risa Takeda had said on the phone.

"Well, that's true."

Tsuchigumi Serina glanced at Kashiwagen Shiori and nodded in agreement.

Even if she is wearing the most simple home-style clothes, the temperament of a literary girl is still quite obvious. Coupled with that pretty face, it is no exaggeration to say that Shiori is expected to top the list of beautiful female authors.

At least in her impression, other famous female authors do not have such excellent appearance as Shiori.

"But..." Tsugumi Seirina changed the subject, "Among authors, shouldn't the content be what attracts readers? If you start from conditions other than the content, maybe that's putting the cart before the horse?"

Things like autograph sessions can only be described as icing on the cake.

After all, when it comes down to it, the quality of an author's work still depends on its textual content.

So yeah."

Kashiwagen Shiori sighed softly.

It is precisely for this reason that she is particularly conflicted.

She knew this was the truth.

But the problem is that the problem is right in front of her. If she doesn't do something, once things develop in the direction she expected, it will not be solved by a pill of regret.

"Actually..." Tsugumi Seina hesitated for a moment, "If you really can't make up your mind, I do have a suggestion."

"What advice?"

Hearing this, Kashiwagen Shiori looked at Tsugumi Seina expectantly.

Although she knew that Rina Tsugumi was not an insider in the industry, as an adult, the advice she gave was always reliable.

"Go ask Che."

Tsugumi Seina gave her answer concisely.

The trouble should end it.

Everyone understands the truth, but whether it can convince people and what effect it can achieve are completely different depending on who says it.

Hearing this, Bai Yuan Shizhi fell silent.

She actually thought so too.

But I'm still a little hesitant.

call.

After thinking for three and a third minutes, she took a deep breath and clenched her fists.

"Let me try."

Who knows, this might become an opportunity.

A chance for a date.

Two in one, 4K2 small chapter.

I would like to thank Teacher Hanabi Kon for the reward from Super Magnetic Power, and teachers Zhu Zhu, Snow Tiger, Shi Xixi, Bai Xiaosheng SXB, and Xiao Cang for their monthly tickets. Your support is my motivation for writing.

See you all tomorrow~

Chapter 376 Editors

Inside the editorial office at Kashiwayangawa Bunko, Arakawa-ku.

call.

With a helpless sigh, Takeda Risa, who was sitting at her workstation, took off her glasses and rubbed her swollen nose.

The conversation with Kashiwagen Shiori last night made her feel an indescribable sense of powerlessness.

Such a nice, confident girl would actually say something like that on the phone.

She felt both distressed and helpless.

"Why are you sighing?" Kaoru Kamino, who was holding two cans of hot coffee, handed one to Risa Takeda, then sat down at her workstation and teased her senior, "Did you fail in your blind date last week?"

"Thank you." Takeda Risa took the coffee, her face showing a nonchalant look, "Compared to that incident, the failed blind date is nothing."

"Eh!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Ye Xun's eyes suddenly lit up.

She already smelled the scent of 'gossip'.

"Didn't you just say that it was almost noon and you couldn't muster up the energy?"

Takeda Risa opened the pull ring of the coffee can, pursed her lips and complained.

"Work is work, gossip is gossip." Kaoru Kamino defended himself confidently at first, but the next second he lowered his voice again. His eyes, which were originally very tired from work, were now shining brightly. "So, what is it?"

She was very interested in 'that thing' that Takeda Risa mentioned!

"It's just a small matter." Takeda Risa raised her eyebrows calmly. After looking around and making sure no one was looking in her direction, she gave a detailed explanation in a low voice, "Bai Zhi suddenly gave in on the book signing event."

Isn’t this a good thing?”

Kaoru Kamino was silent for a moment, then asked this question with some confusion.

It is a mutually beneficial and win-win situation for popular authors to cooperate with publishing houses to hold book signing events.

"What about you thinking about it?"

Takeda Risa pursed her lips and took a sip of hot coffee.

If other authors expressed their willingness to cooperate with the publishing house and negotiate a specific time for the book signing event, she would not be surprised at all, and would even feel that the other party had finally made a rational choice.

But the problem is that this author is none other than the daughter of President Kashiwa Yuanchuan, and is also one of the most famous authors in Kashiwa Yuanchuan Library.

——Bai Zhi

This is worthy of consideration, and can even be said to be intriguing.

"Wait, you're talking about Bo Zhi!?"

Shen Ye Xun was stunned for half a second, and when she came to her senses, she subconsciously widened her eyes.

She was in a joking mood just now, so she didn't quite get the key point. But now that she came to her senses, she immediately understood what Takeda Risa's expression meant.

"if not."

Takeda Risa took another sip of hot coffee, and her face showed a bit of bitterness as if "bitter wine went down her throat and caused pain in her heart".

In fact, as Shiori Kashiwamoto's editor, she could roughly guess what Shiori was thinking on the other end of the phone.

"What's the reason?"

Kaoru Shinno frowned.

In her opinion, if there were no sufficient reasons, given Kashiwagen Shiori's personality, she would not give in on this issue.

After all, Shiori Hitokazu Nakamura specifically mentioned this when she entered the industry, and she would respectfully decline any participation in book signing events and related matters.

In the words of the person involved, 'I don't want to show my face in public so early, at least not before I graduate from high school.'

However, due to some reasons, as editors, they have to mention this occasionally.

However, both parties are very clear that generally speaking, bringing up the issue like this is just a formality.

As for forcing it, that is absolutely not possible.

"What do you think?"

Takeda Risa put down the coffee in her hand and gave Kamino Kaoru an intriguing look.

Kaoru Shinno fell silent.

She understood what her predecessor meant.

It’s because of Beichuan.

"But..." Shen Ye Xun raised his eyebrows, his mouth opened and closed silently, and a hint of doubt flashed across his eyes, "Why?"

Judging from the attitude that Kashiwagen Shiori had shown before, and the circumstances revealed by her predecessor when he mentioned this matter to her, it shouldn't have such a big impact.

"Do you need a reason to like someone?"

Takeda Risa didn't answer but asked back.

"unnecessary."

Reflexively, Kaoru Kamino answered.

"That's it." Takeda Risa shrugged and said in a gentle and persuasive way, "According to this line of thought, think about it again. If you like someone and are lucky enough to work in the same industry as him, will you watch him shine and gradually leave you behind?"

Kaoru Shinno was silent.

Let’s not talk about Kashiwamoto Shiori. Just based on her own intuitive feelings, if you put yourself in her shoes, she would never allow such a situation to happen.

Lovers should look in the same direction and work together towards that goal.

Under this premise, especially for those who have accumulated a certain degree of fame and achieved certain results in the industry, the progress of the person they like is gratifying, but if the other person progresses too fast, it will make them feel a sense of crisis.

In other words, some unnecessary worries will arise.

For example, whether I am worthy of the other person.

"You know Shiori's personality." Takeda Risa shook her head, her tone more emotional, "For a person with a strong sense of self-esteem, when faced with such a situation, I can only say that I can understand it, but..."

“I still can’t accept it.”

Kaoru Kamino glanced at Risa Takeda and continued the sentence she had not finished.

"Yes."

Takeda Risa gave a very casual affirmative answer.

It's funny. In theory, as an editor, she should be happy that her popular author is willing to go against his or her norm and agree to hold a book signing event. But the problem is that she just can't be happy.

He even thought about persuading Kashiwagen Shiori not to make an impulsive decision.

"Then I suggest you talk to her again."

Kaoru Kamino opened the pull ring of the hot coffee, held the slightly hot can with both hands, and said this sentence with a serious face.

"Yes, but not now."

Takeda Risa picked up the plain glasses on the table and put them on again.

"actually……"

Kamino Kaoru looked at Takeda Risa, and there was a look of wanting to say something but stopping himself on his face.

"Actually?" Takeda Risa tilted her head. "Just say whatever you want to say."

"I don't quite understand why you suddenly wear glasses, Risa."

Kaoru Kamino hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question.

"Because it looks good."

Takeda Risa looked at Kamino Kaoru seriously.
