Crossing over, and then being blocked by a rich JK

"Teacher Watanabe, you can take a look at it later and decide whether to reply or not."

Correspondence like this can significantly bring readers and authors closer together.

It is also a good opportunity to increase discussion.

"no problem."

Watanabe Yu nodded and agreed.

"Then, the royalties for the reprint will be deposited into your account today."

Akie Kuriyama took out a contract from her briefcase and pushed it in front of Yu Watanabe.

"In addition, the book club has produced a contract for deepening cooperation. I hope you can take a look at it."

She pulled up a strand of black hair in front of her forehead, raised her eyebrows, and spoke in a very gentle tone.

This is also what the president repeatedly asked her to emphasize.

The tone must not be hasty and must be sincere enough.

Such cooperation must be based on the voluntary participation of both parties.

"Can you elaborate on that?"

Watanabe Yu took the contract and started reading it.

The slightly cool raindrops mixed with the cold wind flowed over the half-open window and into the room.

Under the warm light, the melodious jazz music floating in the air is inexplicably out of tune with the cold scene outside.

"The book club would like to invite you to start a deeper cooperation with us."

Kuriyama Akiie paused and said, "The president would like to sign a letter of intent for cooperation on a new book with you.

“As a gesture of good faith, the book company is willing to increase your royalty share from 13.5% to 15%.

"Moreover, Qiuye Bookstore assures you that the royalties for each of your future books will not be lower than this amount.

"Of course, this includes the royalties that are about to arrive."

This is also the reason why the bookstore did not transfer the money in time.

Firstly, it is much more convenient to make a one-time payment.

Secondly, money is a great asset, and the arrival of large sums of money always makes people happy.

"...Let me take a look at the contract first."

Watanabe Yu did not rush to agree and started reading the letter of intent.

Compared with the previous publishing contract, this contract is much shorter, only three pages.

Again, in triplicate.

He slowly lowered his eyes and read the entire contract carefully.

The general content of the contract is the same as what Akiie Kuriyama said.

No wordplay, no tricks.

Overall, Qiuye Bookstore is indeed as sincere as she said.

This letter of intent for in-depth cooperation.

After all, it is just a derivative of the last letter of intent.

Fortunately, he brought his personal seal today.

Otherwise, after signing, he would have to find time to come to Qiuye Bookstore again to put his personal seal on it.

"Editor Kuriyama, please give me some pointers on where to sign."

Watanabe Yu took out his personal seal.

“This is a pen.”

Kuriyama Akie stood up, held the pen in both hands, and handed it to Watanabe Yu.

"Your signature is at the end of the second page and the end of the third page."

"Ok."

Watanabe Yu took the pen, quickly signed his name where it should be signed, and then stamped it with his personal seal.

"Then there is only one thing left."

Kuriyama Akiie looked at Watanabe Yu with some anticipation.

This is what she expects as a reader.

"Although it's a little too early to ask now, but as for the new book, do you have any ideas?"

"almost."

Watanabe Yu glanced out the window and stood up.

"Do you have anything else to do?"

Kuriyama Akie asked.

The president repeatedly told her that she had to treat Mr. Watanabe to a meal after he signed the contract.

The funds for the activities have been approved for her.

Boom!

The sky was covered with dark clouds and the rain suddenly began to pour down.

"My people are waiting for me."

Watanabe raised his eyebrows.

"……what?"

Kuriyama Akie was stunned at first, then turned her head and looked out the window.

Outside the one-way glass, a black Maybach pierced through the rain curtain.

The piano lacquer finish on the car body looks like a stiff yet sophisticated jacket.

Raindrops fell on its wheels and then slid down to the ground.

Snapped.

The driver's door opened, and a man wearing white gloves and with a slicked-back hair, who looked like a butler, pushed the door open.

He opened his umbrella and stood next to the back car.

"I have to go now."

Watanabe Yu picked up his contract and put it into a brown paper bag.

“And letters from readers!”

Kuriyama Akiie quickly took out the letter and handed it to him.

Watanabe Yu took the letter and put it into the brown paper bag.

Then he walked quickly out of the coffee shop.

"……it is good."

Looking at Watanabe Yu's leaving figure, Kuriyama Akiie was stunned for several seconds.

Wait until she reacts.

The butler had already walked quickly to the door of the coffee shop.

pat.

The raindrops fell on the black umbrella, creating splashes of water.

The old butler who looked meticulous held an umbrella for Watanabe Yu and respectfully welcomed 'Teacher Watanabe' into the car.

Co-authored…

Chapter 64: From the perspective of "giving advice"

"Just to be on the safe side, let me ask you, we're not going to go up the elevated road, are we?"

Sitting in the back seat of the Maybach, Watanabe Yu looked at Amemiya Ayana.

"Why do you ask so suddenly?"

The Saint Lady tilted her head, not understanding what Watanabe Yu meant.

This topic was a bit too jumpy for her.

"Do not ask."

He couldn't say that he was afraid that the car would end up in the Nibelungen area.

"Tezuka, are we going to go up the elevated route?"

The Saint Lady looked at him helplessly.

She pulled up her black hair behind her ears, raised her eyes, and looked through the rearview mirror at the butler who was driving the car.

Whether he is joking or not, since he asked, just ask.

"No, miss."

The butler's answer was brief and to the point.

"Are you relieved now?"

Retracting her gaze, Amamiya Ayana turned her eyebrows and looked at Watanabe Yu.

"……Um."

"By the way, how was your chat with the editor?"

Suddenly, the Saint Lady changed the subject.

In fact, she wanted to ask this question when Watanabe Yu got in the car just now.

I just haven't found the right opportunity.

As a reader of the author Watanabe, she is quite interested in the subsequent development of "Norwegian Wood".

"pretty good."

Watanabe Yu paused.

“It’s going pretty smoothly.”

He added this sentence.

Anyway, in his impression, the communication between Party A and Party B is rarely so friendly.

"That's good. How many copies are you planning to reprint this time?"

The Saint Lady breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask.

Yes, she doesn't know much about the physical publishing industry.

But during this period of time, she also learned some specific information about the industry through her own channels.

For example, for a new writer like Yuu Watanabe, if his work has been proven to have great potential in the market, the second printing will generally be between 50,000 and 100,000 copies.

'Is it okay for us to chat like this? Will it affect you?'

Watanabe Yu glanced at the 'butler' who was driving the car and asked silently with his eyes.

The Saint Lady had told him about her family's situation.
