At first I just wanted to make money

"God's favored one, god's favored one..." Oda Sakunosuke recited it several times to himself, and then said with a wry smile: "You really cruelly broke people's longing for the gods' favored one!"

Hoshiko Momozawa?

She is clearly expanding people's expectations of the favored ones!Even if the writing is not very good, it will not be a reverse sprint, right?

Xingzi looked at the red-haired man eagerly, hoping he could give him an explanation.

But Sakunosuke Oda just carefully returned the manuscript paper to Hoshiko, and then said solemnly: "This article will definitely cause an uproar in the literary world. Please tell me after the article is published. I want to buy the first edition." Journal."

"I told you, don't call me teacher, just call me Xingzi. This article..." Xingzi hesitated to speak, "Maybe it's not as good as you think..."

Oda Sakunosuke immediately said: "No, Momo...Hoshiko, don't be self-effacing, this is really a good article."

Momozawa Hoshiko felt a little restless now, she thought that maybe Oda Sakunosuke had misunderstood something.But if you ask directly, I always feel a little shy.

In the end, Hoshiko sighed as if giving up. Anyway, Odasaku probably thought too much. After he found out that no one else saw his so-called foreshadowing, Odasaku should know that he had misunderstood.Oh, by the way, whether you can sign a contract is another matter. )

It was getting late, Hoshiko thanked him, stopped disturbing Odasaku, and went back to his room.

She looked at the manuscript paper on the table, still unable to stop her doubts.What exactly did Oda Saku see that made him think that a third-rate work like her could cause an uproar in the literary world?

Although the literary world of this era is indeed very withered because the literary giants have gone to fight.But no matter how she withered, she wouldn't be so degenerate that she, a monkey, would become the overlord, right?

Early the next morning, Xingzi came to Evergreen Publishing House, which was indeed not far from where she lived, and it looked quite formal.

On the way here, Xingzi went to look at the nearby magazine stalls. Evergreen Publishing House has a lot of works, which shows that the scale is not small.

Because of the slump in the literature market, even the relatively well-known publishing houses in Yokohama usually have few people to submit articles.

Xingzi arrived early, and there was no one in the publishing house.

She walked through the empty hall, walked to the front desk and handed over the manuscript: "Well, hello, I'm here to submit."

The lady at the front desk actually noticed Xingzi when she entered the lobby.

One is because there are really not many people coming now, and the other is because, in such an era of colorful hair and eyes, a purebred girl with black hair and black eyes is quite rare.

A head of black hair hung down softly, and the black eyes were full of emptiness and silence.She just stood there so quietly, but she couldn't be ignored at all.

When she turned to look at her, the receptionist felt as if she was surrounded by a thick fog and couldn't get out.

Seeing such a mysterious girl walking towards him, the receptionist's heart couldn't help getting tighter and tighter.

It wasn't until Xingzi finished that sentence that she suddenly realized: "Oh! Oh! Are you a contributor? Okay, please leave your address, and we will notify you of the result by email later."

"Show it to me first." Suddenly, a man came over and said to the front desk, "Anyway, there's nothing wrong now."

"Editor Kawakami?" The front desk was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed, "It depends on what this lady wants."

Kawakami nodded, and politely said to Xingzi: "Hi, I'm one of the editors of Changqing Publishing House, would you mind letting me see your work first?"

For some reason, the moment he saw Hoshiko Momozawa's back, Sawaki Kawakami felt that this person must have written a good article.

If I have to say it, probably because this person even reveals a sense of story from his back, Kawakami believes that her article must be amazing.

Anyway, it's okay now, even if I guess wrong, it won't waste much time.So Kawakami chose to take the initiative, what if he bumped into a good seedling?

Hoshiko Momozawa tilted her head, looking at the man in front of her with black-rimmed glasses, dark circles around her eyes, and a social animal face: "If you think it's okay, will I pass it?"

Kawakami Sawaki nodded with a smile: "Of course. If this article is qualified, we can even sign the contract on the spot."

Can you give me money on the spot?Hoshiko Momozawa almost wanted to blurt out this sentence, but fortunately she held back.

She handed the manuscript to the other party: "Then please read."

The two sat on chairs in the hall, facing each other.Kawakami bowed his head to read Hoshiko's works carefully, and Hoshiko was a little bored stirring the coffee in the cup.

Should be able to pass?If you can't pass it, what should you do next?Is the Xingping restaurant downstairs recruiting staff?There is no need to pay wages, as long as there is enough food.

On the opposite side, Kawakami Zeshu became more and more startled the more he looked at it, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Such words!Such content!

With a unique writing method and the most pungent writing style, it nakedly satirizes social phenomena.

Even his editor, who has been immersed in writing for many years, felt a chill behind his back, substituting into these writings, for fear of becoming a so-called god-favored person.

This was actually written by a girl who didn't even look like she was 20 years old?

Sawaki Kawakami raised his head and glanced at this great writer in amazement. The girl was carelessly stirring the coffee, but her eyes were looking out the window, as if she was thinking about something.

out the window?What's outside the window?

Sawaki Kawakami followed her gaze, and the morning in Yokohama was far quieter than the night.The road is foggy, and occasionally a few pedestrians pass by in a hurry.

There are a few new bullet holes on the wall at the corner of the street, which should be the marks left by the mafia fighting last night.

Thinking of this article, Kawakami Sawaki suddenly felt moved.

Behind the tranquility of the day, there are actually several lives at night.It is precisely because of this that I can write such a spicy article!

When Xingzi came back to his senses, he saw the editor in front of him looking out the window.She was a little puzzled: "What are you looking at?"

Then I saw editor Kawakami looking at her with faint admiration and emotion: "I'm looking at the world in your eyes."

Xingzi?

exist?Can you speak nicely?

Kawakami Sawaki looked at the manuscript paper again, and then sincerely asked: "Sorry, can I read it again?"

Xingzi felt as if he had heard the same words, not long ago.

She asked tentatively: "Do you also want to see the foreshadowing I buried?"

"Yes." Kawakami pushed his glasses and looked at the young girl in front of him with admiration: "I didn't expect this article written by the teacher to be so connotative. I want to read it more carefully."

Why did this person start calling her teacher!Xingzi collapsed a bit, but he still insisted on his face: "Look."

Kawakami nodded respectfully, and plunged into the ocean of reading again.

The second time he read it was slower than the first time, and when Xingzi was about to ask, he raised his head: "Teacher, this article is really good, I will definitely strive for the best for you." Post your location!"

Xingzi endured it, and finally couldn't help asking: "What did you see in this article?"

Editor Kawakami sorted out his thoughts, and said in a leisurely manner: "I saw a sad person. He did get what he wanted, but every time he got it, he always lost it."

Xingzi felt incredible: "For example?"

The editor thought she was testing whether she had seen all the foreshadowings, so she listed them one by one: "In the beginning, I didn't want to go to school, and then the whole family moved to the countryside. This clearly means that the family went bankrupt and I have no money to go to school."

Xingzi: He just changed the environment!

"Then I wanted to become rich, but the role of father never appeared again. It can be seen that my father died and my mother and I got a huge compensation, so we became rich."

Xingzi: No...just forgot to write about my father.

"And then in the back, I wanted to have a beautiful wife, so my mother died. I guess what you really want to show is that the mother was actually killed by her father-in-law.

Then my father-in-law compensated my daughter to me.Although it seems absurd, I have to admit that this is reality.Teacher Momozawa's grasp of human nature really amazed me. "

Xingzi: She didn't!

"In the end, I want the baby to be born, and then my wife should have died of dystocia, right? Otherwise, I wouldn't change the baby's diapers by myself."

Xingzi: ...

Speaking of this, Kawakami showed an uncertain expression: "And there is one more thing I'm not sure about. I guess the baby should have died too. It doesn't cry or make trouble, it's actually the teacher's metaphor!"

Xingzi?

Poisonous!There are so many things in her article, why doesn't she know?

"The teacher is really scary. It is a seemingly beautiful story, but it is composed of countless tragedies behind it. Anyone who has read this article should have a psychological shadow on the gods."

Xingzi finally fell silent, she felt that the person opposite was scary.She almost had a psychological shadow on this person.

Brain supplements are not enough, Hoshiko finally knows why Oda Sakunosuke said that at the time, and he probably thought so too.

To be honest, she is very scared now, that is the feeling of being mistaken for a full-level boss even though she is only at the first level.

But forget it, since he can make money anyway, Hoshiko Momozawa doesn't want to worry about it so much.

Even if this book does cause people to misunderstand, but the next one will definitely not be the case.

Just treat her as having earned a piece of luck money, after all, luck is also a part of strength!

She asked directly: "If you sign the contract now, when will you be able to pay?"

Kawakami asked hesitantly, "Are you short of money now?"

Xingzi nodded honestly: "It's almost over."

Kawakami immediately made a decision: "As long as you sign the contract, I can give you a part of the manuscript fee instead of the publisher."

He believed that the publishing house would never let such a good seed go, even if he paid the money in advance, he would not be blamed, and would even be praised for making a quick decision.
