On many things, the Japanese people do not like to express their ideas directly.Often a simple idea requires the other party to ponder over and over again to understand the deep meaning.

Take confession as an example, although many people would say "associate with me", but more people chose to make indirect remarks: such as "I think you are very gentle", "What do you think of me", or "The moonlight is so beautiful".

In Akihara Yuto's view, Satake Maki's phrase "I want to be your real thing" is undoubtedly an expression of her heart.

This also makes Akihara Hiroto realize that the other party likes him.

But how should I respond to her?

For this answer, Hiroto Akihara pondered until midnight.

……

At 10:[-] the next morning, with the glare of the sun entering the living room, Yuu Akihara woke up slowly and got out of the futon.

He stood up, walked to the window, and subconsciously glanced out of the window.

The snow outside has stopped, but there is still a thick layer of snow on the ground.

He walked out of the living room, came to the bedroom on the third floor, knocked on the door, "Miss Satake, are you awake?"

But to his surprise, no one responded after knocking for a long time.

Akihara Yuto hesitated for a moment, then opened the door and walked in, "Sorry, I came in first."

But he was surprised to find that there was no one in the bedroom at the moment, and the bedding was completely folded and placed in the cabinet.

However, there was a post-it note on the door panel of the cabinet.

Hiroto Akihara stepped forward, tore off the post-it note, and read the words on it.

"Mr. Akihara, I'll take the train first. Please don't take what I said last night to heart. I apologize if it troubles you. Also, I have already made breakfast and put it in the refrigerator Please remember to reheat before eating.”

Akihara Hiroto rubbed his messy hair, but he was speechless.

How could such a thing not be taken to heart...

Forget it, since the other party has already left, don't think about it so much.

He went upstairs to the kitchen on the first floor, took out the breakfast made by the other party from the refrigerator, heated it in the microwave and ate it.While he was eating, the phone rang.

He put down the bowl and chopsticks, and found Yuto Imamura's voice coming from the microphone, "Akihara, Happy New Year!"

"You are also happy, how is it, how does it feel to bring your fiancee back to your hometown?"

"Don't mention it, there are a lot of bad things! My parents really want Meiyu-chan to resign early and become a full-time wife."

Through the microphone, Akihara Hiroto could express the dissatisfaction in the other party's tone.But after listening to the other party's words, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Yuuto Imamura's fiancée, that is, Miss Miyu, seems to be the public relations lady of the nightclub club, is she almost married and hasn't left her job yet?

For a moment, he suddenly felt that Imamura seemed to be wearing a hat on his head.

But this is the other party's private matter, and he doesn't need to say too much, he can only deal with it and say: "Imamura, your parents also have their own considerations. It's rare for you to go home, so don't have any disputes with your family .”

"I know, it's just a little annoying." Imamura Yuto said into the microphone again, "By the way, how is your cooperation with "April Youth" now?"

Akihara Yuto said a few words casually, and then the two began to chat.

From Imamura Yuto's big mouth, Akihara Yuto learned about the latest situation of Mandansha's "Tokyo Literature".

The current "Tokyo Literature" has two signature writers, Tamae Seto and Kaito Nakata, and their works have many loyal readers.

Driven by the two writers, the sales volume of "Tokyo Literature" is also growing steadily.

Therefore, the top management of Mantansha has also made a goal, which is to let the magazine surpass "Tokyo Youth" in the future and become the number one literary journal in the industry!

Although the goal is lofty, it is not without hidden dangers - publicity resources are limited after all, and which work of which writer to promote has become the focus of discussion among the editorial department.

As the new editor-in-chief, Kazuhiro Matsushima hopes to divide the publicity resources evenly, such as the promotion of the cover and layout, and give them to Seto Tamae and Nakata Kaito alternately.

However, the editor-in-charge of Kaito Nakata put forward different opinions. He believes that from the perspective of the future, Kaito Nakata, who is younger, has more potential, so he should be the main one.

After learning about this proposal from her editor in charge, it was naturally impossible for Seto Yuzhi to ignore it.Although she has a gentle temper, she will not watch her interests being taken away for no reason, not to mention that Nakata Keito is a disciple of Miyagawa Yosuke, and can only be regarded as his junior.

If you shrink back at this time, it will definitely give people the impression that "she is easy to bully".

So she immediately made a few phone calls to Matsushima and Hiro and Mandansha's superiors, but this also made Nakata Kaito dissatisfied.

He is the kind of person who has his own opinions, so he skipped from "April Youth" to "Tokyo Literature" without listening to his teacher's advice.

Under the confrontation between the two sides, the atmosphere in the editorial department of "Tokyo Literature" presents a very delicate situation.

Imamura Yuto sighed, "They took away the resources and the cover. A small writer like me doesn't even have a small page now."

"Imamura, it's okay, take your time, it will happen sooner or later." Akihara Yuto comforted him, but he also knew in his heart that it was unlikely given the current situation.

The two chatted for a while, then hung up.

Akihara Hiroto shook his head, stretched his body, and prepared to go back to the living room to continue watching TV.

……

While Hiroto Akihara was watching TV leisurely, Ryosuke Ikemoto, the editor-in-chief of "Tokyo Youth", was calling his subordinate Ryo Komuro.

"Editor Xiaoshi, have you contacted the replacement writer for "Detective Upper Village"?"

"Editor-in-Chief, I have contacted a writer who was shortlisted for the Newcomer Award for Reasoning Literature and wrote a book called "Spiral Staircase".

Ryosuke Ikemoto did not expect his subordinate to find such a candidate, and asked in surprise: "Is the other party willing?"

Ryo Komuro said into the microphone: "It's okay, the editor-in-chief, the publication performance of his work is not very good, so he has only bought more than 1 copies until now. Publishing houses also have conflicts."

"That's it," Ryosuke Ikemoto frowned, and asked again: "Can you make sure that he won't have conflicts with us, after all, it's dishonorable to be a shadow writer, right?"

"I have learned about the situation here. He is now opposed by his family, so he needs money very much. There will be no problem."

"What's the price he wants?"

"It's 4 yen per page, and I'm still keeping the price down."

Ryosuke Ikemoto hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Talk to him for 2 yen. Besides that, it's best to grab him a little more."

"I know the editor-in-chief," Komuro replied.

Ryosuke Ikemoto nodded, and asked again: "About whether the film and television copyright of "Detective Uemura" will be sold to Asahi or Fuji, and you will issue me a plan later."

"Editor-in-Chief, this is still the New Year, can we wait until the next year?" Komuro replied hesitantly.
