Yasuhara Risa sighed, gave him a final warning in a voice that only the two of them could hear, then turned and left.

According to the principal, today was a one-on-one meeting between him and Watanabe, so she shouldn't even think about getting involved.

After watching Risa Yasuhara disappear in the corridor, Yu Watanabe withdrew his gaze and knocked on the door of the principal's office.

Boom, boom, boom.

"Please come in, the door is unlocked."

The principal's voice came out.

Click.

Watanabe Yu pushed open the door and walked into the principal's office.

The layout of the office had not changed much from when he first came.

As bright and simple as always.

It was just a little beyond his expectation that the principal today did not sit in the office chair, but sat opposite the reception sofa.

He was reading a book in his hands.

"Sit down, don't be shy, I just want to chat with you briefly."

The principal turned around and greeted him.

Watanabe Yu didn't hesitate to sit down opposite the energetic old man.

"To be honest, I'm very surprised. I never thought that the author of Norwegian Wood would be... so young. I never thought that this 'Watanabe' would be a student of our school."

The principal closed the book in his hand, raised his eyebrows and looked at Watanabe Yu.

When he saw Watanabe Yu's photo in the newspaper, his first reaction was that he was dazzled.

If he hadn't called Yasuhara Risa half a month before school started, he would still be kept in the dark.

"..."

Watanabe Yu did not rush to speak, but just listened silently. He knew that the principal had not finished speaking.

"I know that you are much more mature and calm than your peers, so I won't say any more polite words. Let's get straight to the point. Are you willing to accept an interview with the media?"

The principal did not beat around the bush, but chose to get straight to the point.

He knew very well what approach should be used to treat different people.

"…Not now."

Watanabe pondered over the words and finally said this.

"You mean after graduation, or during graduation?"

The principal glanced at Watanabe Yu.

"Yes."

Watanabe Yu nodded.

After the words were spoken, the office fell into a brief silence.

Just when Watanabe Yu thought the old man in front of him was going to get furious, he suddenly laughed.

The principal smiled kindly, "Your answer doesn't surprise me.

“As the principal of a private high school in Seongnan, it is very exciting that our school has a young author who has won the Naoki Prize.

"I should have asked you to accept media interviews, or contacted you for interviews on behalf of the school.

“In this way, Chengnan Private High School will be able to take another big step forward.

“As it should be, we can also go a step further among the private high schools.

"But I think this is not good, it's selfish, and it will greatly affect your normal campus life.

"After all, when you are interviewed as a non-student, you can act freely.

“Outside of the camera, your daily life, or campus life, will not be affected.

"As for why there is no news about you, I think your publisher is covering it up for you. This way, when you are in school, everyone will only think that you look like 'Watanabe', not that you are the same person."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Watanabe Yu was stunned.

The principal's guess was a little too accurate.

"This is not a guess, but a phone call."

The principal seemed to see his surprise and started to explain.

then.

He continued, “The school has only one request for you.

"When you officially decide to step into the public eye and strongly associate Watanabe Yuu with 'Watanabe', we hope that you can accept an interview as a graduate of Chengnan Private High School.

"In exchange, the school will waive your tuition fees for the next two years, and at the same time, the annual scholarship will be tripled at the highest level.

“The school will also provide the convenience you need.

“For example, if you need a letter of recommendation from the University of Tokyo, I can help you write it.

"Of course, if your identity as 'Teacher Watanabe' is exposed, you won't need me to write a recommendation letter for you. The University of Tokyo has always been happy to recruit well-known authors like you."

At this point, the principal smiled and teased Watanabe Yu.

But this is more of a true statement than a joke.

"so……"

The principal looked at Watanabe Yu and waited for his answer.

He is not the kind of person who likes to beat around the bush. He knows that when talking to someone like Watanabe Yu, it is better to tell the other person directly what he can give instead of talking for a long time.

If there is something to talk about, then there is something to talk about. If there is nothing to talk about, then there is absolutely nothing to talk about.

The main theme is to have fun.

Meeting the principal's gaze, Watanabe Yu smiled.

"It's fine on my end."

Morally and logically, he had no reason to refuse such generous conditions.

*

In the meeting room of Nishikawa Corporation in Chiyoda Ward.

"Based on the current market size, the price I offered for the acquisition is already..."

Buzz. Buzz.

Ayana Amamiya, who was chatting about prices with President Nishikawa, frowned. She raised her eyes, gave the other party a look that said "wait a moment", then stood up and walked out of the meeting room.

After finding a relatively quiet corner, she answered the phone with a look of disgust.

The caller was none other than Teppei Amamiya, whom she found extremely disgusting.

In fact, she could have chosen not to answer the call, but based on her understanding of him.

Every phone call he made was instructed by that woman.

They can use the phone to influence her mindset, and similarly, she can use the phone to reverse their intentions.

"Hey."

Amamiya Ayana's voice was very cold.

At this moment, she became the true saint lady again.

"Hello, my dear sister, good morning."

The sarcastic voice of Teppei Amamiya was heard from the microphone.

It is true that he is afraid of Watanabe Yu.

But this was on the phone, and it was impossible for Watanabe Yu to jump out of the phone and beat him up.

"What's matter?"

Ayana Amamiya ignored the other party's disgusting remarks.

After so many years, she has long been accustomed to it.

"some."

As if afraid that she would hang up, Teppei Amamiya on the other end of the phone quickly said these two words.

"Then just speak directly and don't waste time."

The Saint Miss frowned unconsciously.

Just through the phone, she could imagine how annoying Teppei Amamiya's expression was.

In the past, she thought that Mr. Troll's straightforward behavior was too much, but now it seems that he is right. The best way to deal with such people is to make them afraid of you.

"I advise you to give up the idea of ​​starting your own business. Creating something from nothing is not as easy as you think."

Teppei Amamiya actually didn't quite understand why his mother would instruct him to say such things.

Knowing that it was a trap, they would be able to beat Ayana Amamiya when she fell into it. Wasn't this a reminder for her not to fall into the trap?

Isn't this the opposite?

But out of respect for his mother, he chose to follow her instructions obediently.

"Are you finished?"

Ayana Amamiya frowned. She didn’t quite understand what Teppei Amamiya said, or what the woman behind him meant.

"That's it."

Toot, toot, toot.

Amamiya Ayana responded with her actions.

——She hung up the phone directly.

Taking the phone away from his ear, Teppei Amamiya raised his eyes and looked at his mother.

"I have said everything you told me."

He lowered his head, no longer as defiant as before.

"Okay, go and rest."

The woman waved her hand.

Her purpose had been achieved.

She knew Ayana Amamiya's personality very well. She was an extremely stubborn person. Once she made a decision, she would definitely do it.

In other words, whether or not this call is made actually has little impact.

The purpose of asking her son to make this call was very simple, which was to make Ayana Amamiya think too much.

There is no other meaning other than this.

This was her little revenge.

Of course, this is just the beginning.

At the last banquet at the Yasuhara family, Watanabe Yu could be said to have severely slapped her and her son in the face. He even walked away after slapping them in the face.

Indeed, with the network of contacts that Watanabe Yu had displayed, she had no way and could not directly touch him.

In a sense, she was helpless against him.

Find relevant people to stir up some negative information about Watanabe Yu?

Come on, let’s not even talk about Akiba Books’ current status. Just considering Watanabe’s influence on the Internet, these smears can’t cause any waves.

Or should we find someone to stop this guy and teach him a lesson?

This is even more ridiculous. This is a despicable and underhanded trick that cannot be used in this circle.

What’s more, people nowadays are very smart. They will not accept anyone with social status and identity.
