"May I ask the vice president of the association, what is the purpose of coming here today?"

"Can't you come and see your friends?"

"I don't think you have the time," Miyagi Kentaro continued, "Speak up and save us both."

Shinta Kawai smiled unabated, but still did not answer the question, "Do you know what happened to Nobuo Wada recently?"

"I know a thing or two," Miyagi Kentaro changed his sitting position, leaning his right hand on the knee of his right leg, showing a disdainful expression.

"As old fellows of our time, I didn't expect to fall into such a pit. However, the failure of the despicable is also a matter of course."

"That's right," Kawai Shinta sighed, "This time it's really unexpected, and I didn't expect him to actually make things difficult for a little guy."

"However, this is not the purpose of your visit today, is it?" Miyagi Kentaro continued to ask. "I don't think people like you would be so boring."

"Well, let me tell the truth," Kawai Shinta drank the tea in his hand, and then said his request: "I hope that the selection of this Uemura Award will allow Akihara Hiroto's works to be shortlisted."

The selection of Uemura Award is that the judges consult with writers, magazine editors and other relevant persons, and then select some recommended works.

But such a rule gives the judges a lot of power. If a work is not approved by the judges at all, then it is nonsense to be shortlisted.

And this time, one of the jury members is a writer of the social school, who has a deep connection with Kentaro Miyagi.

"Huh?" Kentaro Miyagi frowned, and said in a slightly serious voice, "I'm a little disappointed. The Shinta Kawai in my impression is not the kind of person who would do such a thing."

Kawai Shinta glanced at him, and said in a flat tone: "I am just recommending a work to a judge as a writer. Is there any problem with that?"

Kentaro Miyagi raised his eyebrows.

This reason is impeccable, because the other party has shown that he is only a writer, not the vice-chairman of the reasoning writer, which falls within the scope of normal and reasonable rules.

He thought for a while, and asked again: "Why did you recommend Akihara Yuto, I remember he debuted less than a year ago, right?"

"Because I am very optimistic about him," Kawai Shinta explained with a smile, telling Akihara Hiroto's previous creative ideas and some achievements, and then talked about the cause and effect of this incident.

He added: "Did you know that the radicals even wanted him to be shortlisted for the Uemura Award as a settlement, but he still rejected it. The reason for his rejection turned out to be a dispute over ideas."

After hearing these words, Miyagi Kentaro fell into silence.

In the eyes of veteran writers like him, writers who have debuted for less than 10 years are all newcomers, and Hiroto Akihara is just a newcomer among newcomers.

But it is such a special "newcomer" to insist on his own ideas and give up his interests, which is a rare thing.

You must know that even being shortlisted is a very high honor for some writers.

After being silent for a while, Miyagi Kentaro asked again: "Kaihe, it's not that I don't want to give you this favor, but you should know the meaning of winning the award to our society, right?!"

The winning works of the Uemura Award twice a year will undoubtedly become a hot spot of public attention because of their extensive coverage.

In other words, if a work of the social genre can win an award, it can be used to promote works of this genre.

Kawai Shinta did not deny it, but took out a book with a black cover from the document bag he brought, and placed it in front of Miyagi Kentaro.

"You should know all of Akihara's works. If it's this book, you shouldn't have any objections."

Miyagi Kentaro took the book and began to read it, and watching his expression change, Kawai Shinta raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

It seems that there will not be a big problem with this proposal of mine!

[Chapter 228.227 Death Threat Letter]

For Japanese society, April is a special month with two significant events.

The first thing is "cherry blossom viewing", because starting from April, the cherry blossoms in the Japanese archipelago from south to north bloom one after another.

Another thing is the "enrollment ceremony" in Japan. From kindergarten to graduate school, all freshmen usher in a new stage of their life in this season.

At 10:[-] in the morning, at the Hongo Campus of the University of Tokyo, at the gate.

Hiroto Akihara came here to pick up his disciple Toyama Miho in a chauffeured car.The latter had just finished the opening ceremony and was about to leave the campus.

"Yuan Shan, congratulations on becoming a college student today."

Hiroto Akihara sat in the back seat of the car and handed a gift to Miho Toyama.This gift is actually a pen, worth no more than [-] yen.

It's not that Yuu Akihara is stingy, it's just a gift for the entrance ceremony, and the price shouldn't be too high.

"Master, thank you."

Toyama Miho said with a smile and took it. She is wearing a black T-shirt and jeans today, which is far from the young lady's dress in Kyoto.

Hiroto Akihara waved his hand, motioned for the driver to drive, and then asked, "Have you found a place to live?"

"Still looking for it, at the moment I'm using Senior Asano's home."

"Is your relationship so good?"

Hiroto Akihara was slightly surprised, he really didn't know there was such a relationship between the two.

"Yuan Shan, in short, if you need help, just tell me directly, don't be afraid to cause me trouble."

Hiroto Akihara reminded him that the other party is his disciple after all, so if he can help, he should help.

"Master, I understand." Toyama Miho said, "My father gave me three months of living expenses. I plan to submit a manuscript during this time to see if I can earn some living expenses."

"What type of manuscript? Is it a short story?"

"Well, short stories, I'm not yet able to write long works." Toyama Miho said shyly.

Hiroto Akihara nodded, feeling quite satisfied.

Compared with long stories, short stories seem to be less difficult, but they are more friendly to the training of writing.

Not only that, because the difficulty of reviewing manuscripts is low, some magazines are also willing to accept the submission of short stories by new writers.

"But if you only rely on short story submissions, your rent and living expenses may not be enough, right?" Akihara Yuto thought for a while and asked again.

"If it doesn't work, I plan to find a part-time job and create while working."

"That's it, then go ahead."

Hiroto Akihara considered whether to offer food and lodging for her to create, after all, this amount of money is nothing at all.On the contrary, it is also good for him that Miho Toyama can debut as soon as possible.

But Hiroto Akihara gave up this idea after thinking about it.

Toyama Miho's father didn't do this, so he had better not do it for him.

He who does not work shall not eat, let Toyama Miho experience social life.

Authors who lack social experience may not be able to write good articles with any connotation and depth.
