Tokyo: I took in a homeless girl

"I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you that I'm ready to start writing my second book. When the time comes, I'll ask the company to let you serve as my assistant," he said seriously.

Although it feels a bit strange that the author needs an assistant, considering his increasingly high status in Kodansha, the senior leaders should be able to satisfy his small request.

What's more, Mine Shiori is just an intern, and the company is not at the point where it will not be able to operate without her. Sawayama Haruno even feels that he doesn't need to discuss with the leaders. He just needs to say hello to Miss Morikawa, and she will be happy to let Mine Shiori go.

After all, that guy is about to get promoted. It’s the end of the year now, so it will probably happen around this time.

"The second book? I see."

Mine Shiori nodded slightly.

For her, anything that could help Haruno would make her happy, especially such an intimate job as helping to check and refine the work.

She could also take this opportunity to take Haruno's "first time" again.

First time in the second book.

Thinking of this, Mine Shiori's face inexplicably flushed.

However, Sawayama Haruno, who was frowning due to the bitter coffee, did not notice this touch of girlish charm.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Mine Shiori in the lounge area and agreeing to have dinner together another day, he received a text message from Miss Morikawa asking him to go home quickly.

Seeing that the people from the Ishizawa family seemed to have arrived, Sawayama Haruno no longer hesitated. After saying goodbye to Mine Shiori, he quickly returned to the reception room.

After pushing open the door, there were already three people sitting inside besides Morikawa Riho, and one of them looked extremely familiar to Sawayama Haruno.

"Teacher Kiriyama"

This girl, who was so young that people couldn't help but pay attention to her, smiled at Sawayama Haruno.

"We meet again. I think you haven't done what you promised me last time?"

"Why are you here too?"

Sawayama Haruno looked at Morikawa Riho in a daze, but saw that she was just shaking her head helplessly.

Ishizawa Kaori came over.

To the surprise of everyone present, even Riho Morikawa did not expect that the other party would come all the way from Kyoto to Tokyo for no reason.

"Of course, we're talking about business."

Ishizawa Kaori spread her hands innocently and sighed, "Since the last time we met, Kiriyama-sensei hasn't written anything I want to read, even though I helped you so much with the novel."

".Sorry, I can't spare the time to write." Sawayama Haruno was a little helpless.

"But I heard that you are planning to write your second book?" Ishizawa Kaori smiled playfully and said quirkily, "Will the next book follow the style of the previous one?" "Yes."

Sawayama Haruno coughed lightly and pretended not to know what she was talking about, and explained, "The styles are still relatively similar. Speaking of which, this is about the next book, right? Aren't we here to discuss copyright cooperation today?"

"excuse me."

Hearing Sawayama Haruno say this, the man in a suit next to him stood up and greeted him.

He was also one of the people who came from the Ishizawa family this time, and the other person sitting next to him, a man who looked to be about fifty years old and had a somewhat street-savvy temperament, was the preliminary instructor for this collaboration.

His name is Chen Yingxiong. He is of French-Vietnamese descent, but has a very Chinese name.

To be honest, when he heard this name, Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but be shocked.

Because this person was the director who was responsible for filming the movie version of "Norwegian Wood" in the previous life. I didn't expect that he also existed in this parallel world.

Although he felt a little confused, it was a good thing for Sawayama Haruno to be able to continue remaking the film with the original director.

At least the content of the book won't be messed up.

Of course, the plots that Kaori Ishizawa expects will definitely have to be cut or modified.

This was also the main reason why she was depressed during the second half of the meeting.

About an hour later.

"Then it's settled."

The director, who had an inexplicable aura similar to that of a gangster, stood up and shook hands with Sawayama Haruno with a smile.

"We will discuss copyright cooperation with your company again."

He smiled and said, "But what is certain is that filming will probably start in the second half of next year. If Mr. Kiriyama has any comments or wants to come to the set to see the filming situation, please feel free to contact me."

"Ok."

Sawayama Haruno shook hands with the other person calmly, but he didn't take what the other person said to heart.

The implication of this guy's words just now was that he wanted me to take up a supervisory position. I guess he wanted me to help out and contribute.

But where would he get the time? You know, it would take a long time to shoot a movie, and he doesn't have the corresponding professional knowledge. It would be better for him to just leave it to the other party to figure out a solution.

Anyway, it was impossible for the Ishizawa family standing by and watching him mess around, so Sawayama Haruno was relatively relieved about the movie version.

After sending away the director, the people from the Ishizawa family, and the resentful "little princess", Sawayama Haruno did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he sat back on the sofa in the reception room and breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong, Kiriyama-sensei?"

Morikawa Riho closed the glass door of the reception room and looked at him with a hint of amusement.

"Tired?"

"I'm not really tired, but I didn't expect that in addition to writing a book, there would be so many things for me to deal with."

Sawayama Haruno rubbed his eyes and joked, "You are my editor as well, so you can be of some use."

"You know I'm useless?"

Morikawa Riho sat on the sofa next to him and gave him a displeased look.

"Do you know how busy I have been these past few days doing promotions for you and market research? I've been working overtime at night, not to mention dealing with copyright issues."

"Really? It seems like it's not easy for both of us. I thought we could just throw the book over after we finished writing it."

Sawayama Haruno felt somewhat emotional.

Fortunately, Maki's mood has been relatively stable these days, and he can spare more time to deal with other things. Otherwise, things would come one after another, and he would be busy until he was exhausted.

"It's a little too early to breathe a sigh of relief now."

Morikawa Riho looked at Sawayama Haruno lying on the sofa with some disdain and reminded him, "It's almost the end of the year. For the sake of next year's tax statistics, you'd better hire a tax accountant to prepare your financial and tax income statements."

"what"

If she hadn't said it, Sawayama Haruno would have almost forgotten about it.

After all, the island country is slightly different from the country he lived in in his previous life in this respect.

For him who is currently engaged in literary work, it is necessary to hire a good tax accountant, which can save a lot of money.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a headache.

"Ms. Morikawa, do you have any recommendations?"

"I'm sorry, I can't help you. You can't ask the company's finance and tax department to solve it for you, right?"

Morikawa Riho spread her hands and suggested, "You should find a more reliable one yourself, try to find a tax firm with a higher reputation. After all, according to your current sales performance, the tax you have to pay by then is estimated to be an astronomical figure."

The book sales in this month alone are enough for Zeshan Haruno to pay a large sum of money, not to mention the sale of copyrights, which also requires additional taxes.

Since it is personal income, only Sawayama Haruno himself can pay this part, but by inviting a professional to come, many reasonable ways to avoid taxes can be found.

Chapter 300 Zeshan Haruno's Eye-Opening Experience

Sawayama Haruno still took Morikawa Riho's words to heart.

Although he was unable to use the other party's channels to find a suitable tax accountant, fortunately he still found a more reliable firm in Tokyo through his own methods.

After spending a considerable amount of consulting and hiring fees, he successfully invited the other party to his home on Saturday.

Although he was not quite sure why the tax accountant had to come to his house, he still made full preparations to entertain the guest after getting up early on Saturday morning.

Even Ezaki Suguha couldn't help but feel curious when she saw him busy.

"Are there any guests coming to the house today?"

"Well, I asked a tax accountant to come over."

Sawayama Haruno was cleaning up the remaining food waste in the living room, saying without turning around, "I'll be here soon, so I'm cleaning it up in advance."

"So that's it."

Suguha Ezaki immediately understood what he meant.

She took a few steps forward to help replace the almost full garbage bag. After sorting it out and tying it into a knot, she looked at Zeshan Haruno and smiled gently, "I have to go out today too?"

"Where to go?"

Hearing this, Zeshan Haruno stopped curiously.

"Didn't Haruno tell me about signing up for driving lessons last time?" Ezaki Suguha lifted the hair next to her ear and said softly, "I've already chosen a school and I'm going to sign up today."

"Will you come back for lunch?" Sawayama Haruno asked with concern.

Today was a rare weekend, and he had been thinking of taking Maki and Suguha out for dinner after the tax accountant finished the report for him.

"I probably won't go. I might not be able to make it back and forth in time. Haruno can just take Maki with him."

Ezaki Naoba paused, and suddenly reached out to help remove the small piece of fluff that was accidentally stuck on Sawayama Haruno's body.

These are the crumbs and garbage left behind when Maki played with Salmon Maru yesterday. Sawayama Haruno, who was busy cleaning the house early in the morning, obviously got caught in them accidentally.

"Make it up to me later."

Suguha Ezaki took two steps back and smiled with satisfaction at her boyfriend, who was wearing home clothes but still had a tall and straight figure.

"Then I'll be out first."

"Be careful on the road."

Sawayama Haruno escorted the other party to the entrance.

After watching the other person push the door and leave, he quickly went back to clean up the house.

It is now 8:40 in the morning, and Maki Miyazawa is still sleeping soundly in his room. There is still a long time before the tax accountant comes to visit, so simply cleaning the house is more than enough time.

After tidying up the living room and adding cat food to Salmon Maru, Sawayama Haruno slowly put away the clothes he had hung out to dry last night and took a hot bath in the early morning.

When he came out of the bathroom, the cell phone that was charging on the table in the living room rang at the right time.

"Hey?"

Sawayama Haruno walked over and picked up the phone. After saying hello as usual, an inexplicably hoarse voice came from the other end of the line.

"Mr. Zeshan? I'm already at the door. Please open the door."

"Oh, wait a minute."

Isn't there a doorbell?

Sawayama Haruno secretly wondered why the other party had to call him, but when he thought that Maki was still sleeping in the room, he felt that it would be better to call.

While he was daydreaming, he had already walked to the entrance and opened the door. What came into his sight was the tax accountant who was hired from the top firm this time.

The other person had an extremely messy hairstyle. His hair, which was not long to begin with, was casually tied into a bun at the back, with a few strands of bangs left out in an unruly manner.

Her facial features are so delicate that one can't find any fault with them. Although she has heavy dark circles and bags under her eyes, they complement the other person's outfit beautifully, not to mention the black silk necklace around her neck that would easily lead to misunderstanding at first glance.

This outfit is actually very much in line with the current fashion trends in the island country. You know, in areas with a large flow of people like Shibuya, there will be a lot of handsome men and beautiful women dressed like this wandering around at night.

The other person's temperament is also very consistent with the beauty of the bohemian style. He is the type of handsome guy that people can't help but look back at when he walks a few steps on the street.

But Sawayama Haruno knew better than anyone that the person he had hired this time was a female tax accountant.

"Are you Miss Yano?"

"uh-huh?"

Yano Nami tilted her head, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "You are Mr. Sawayama, right?"

Her voice was very hoarse, but not unpleasant. It was probably similar to the voice developed by years of drinking and smoking.

For some girls who like this sound, it will only make them more unable to control themselves.

In summary, this woman is as strong as an iron T, so terrifying.

".Please come in."
