Milan Private High School·Classroom
After class at noon, a short classmate wearing a school uniform with a dark face sat down in his seat, turned on his mobile phone, lowered his head, and played the news on it.
His name is Sotozaki Yasuo, he is a very ordinary student, he likes to chat with others, and often ignores other people's moods. Whenever he has the opportunity, he will drag his classmates into long conversations and ask questions, which is particularly annoying.
At this moment, Sotozaki Yasuo looked at his mobile phone, and a news article read with an exaggerated title: [Big reveal] A mysterious girl suddenly appeared in the family of the three-prize-winning writer Yamada Nobu!
Sotosaki Yasuo opened the door out of curiosity. When he went in and took a look, he saw a photo and immediately recognized it. This was Naomi Hayakawa in his class!
Sotozaki Yasuo was a little in disbelief. He rubbed his eyes and looked carefully, and found that he had confirmed his mistake. This person was Naomi Hayakawa!
Sotosaki Yasuo exclaimed: "Wow, big news!"
"Big news, hurry up and take a look!"
Yasuo Sozaki's exaggerated voice and eye-catching movements attracted the attention of his classmates, who gathered around him.
The monitor, Kuniaki Nodaka, is a sunny boy, wearing a pair of glasses, with a high nose and the nearest seat. He came over immediately and frowned: "Tozaki, why are you yelling so loudly?"
As he said that, he lowered his head and looked at the news, and was surprised when he saw it.
What is the hottest topic during this period of time, I am afraid no one knows it, and it is the big incident about Yamada Shinichi.
Yamada Shinichi won the Ogawa Prize, and won three consecutive championships in one fell swoop, which is really unbelievable!
Although there were rumors that Yamada Shinichi was from the school, no one believed it when they heard the news.
Now I found out that one of my classmates knew Yamada Shinichi, and they immediately looked at each other, and the classmates who came around also let out exaggerated shouts.
The strong and big Kumamoto Shoji let out a rough cry and howled loudly: "Wow, as expected of Naomi, so awesome!!"
Chitanda Motomi, who was tall and tall, covered her face with her hands, with an expression of disbelief on her face, and asked in a slightly sharp voice: "Huh? Naomi? Where is she?"
"Is Yamada Shinichi really from our school?"
"I heard that he is the head of the club that dominates the country. Has Naomi gone to the club now?"
Dominate the National Society
Naomi Hayakawa listened to the members' discussion.
“The last issue of our magazine was very well received.”
"This time we are going to design the overall magazine, add some information, and correct the font selection and illustration position." Seiichiro Murata said seriously and took out samples to circulate.
"As for the paper, I think that although the club is very rich, the budget must be controlled. This kind of paper is very good. Let's take a look!" Toyama Kouta said.
Everyone listened carefully to the explanation. The meeting ended surprisingly quickly. It only took half an hour. It was noon and everyone took out the food.
Most of them were rice balls. Toyama Kouta looked at Hayakawa Naomi expectantly. Sure enough, she opened the lunch box. Many girls in the class were using very small lunch boxes. The amount of food could not even accommodate all the desserts. This was for weight loss and Slim, but Naomi's lunch box is big and always has a variety of dishes.
"Hey... every time Naomi opens the lunch box, I feel that life has meaning." Toyama Kouta said.
Hearing this, Naomi Hayakawa showed a happy expression. She looked around and asked, "By the way, where is the minister?"
"I went to the student union. It is said that a guest came to visit me."
student union
Pei Ziyun arrived at the office smoothly, knocked on the door, and opened the door after getting permission. Unexpectedly, he saw Harada Seiko. She was wearing a student uniform. The only special thing was that she was wearing a hair accessory, looking innocent.
"President, are you looking for me?"
Harada Seiko raised his hand and glanced at the watch on his wrist, and said to Pei Ziyun: "Yamada-kun, is it not too much for me to call you this?"
Pei Ziyun smiled and nodded and said, "Of course, I'm just a student."
Harada Seiko continued: "Yamada-kun, I really envy you. You are now a celebrity. To be honest, it is really amazing. What you have achieved now is really unimaginable!"
"I hope I can catch up to half of Yamada-kun's achievements, and I will be very happy." Harada Seiko's eyes showed admiration.
Pei Ziyun bowed his head and saluted, and said, "You are so complimentary."
Harada Seiko continued: "Well, let's get down to business. Recently, the student union received another sum of money to designate you as the dominant national society, but the person who sent the money wants to meet you. What do you think?"
Pei Ziyun thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, no problem, but you haven't had lunch yet, right?"
Seiko Harada stood up and said, "It's okay. Let's eat when we're done."
Pei Ziyun was a little speechless. Objectively speaking, Seiko Harada was an elegant and beautiful girl, but Pei Ziyun felt that Seiko Harada actually had mild obsessive-compulsive disorder and workaholics.
Every detail must be paid attention to, and the work must be completed before thinking about anything else.
"A very suitable social animal, but you are the eldest lady!" The Harada family cannot be said to be a conglomerate. The threshold for a consortium is not that low, but it can be regarded as a family with a lot of land and assets.
However, it has considerable influence in Sakai City.
Harada Seiko didn't know what Pei Ziyun was thinking. He arrived at the door, turned the handle, and arrived in the living room. There was a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa.
This man has a face with a Chinese character and is wearing a dark black suit. His shirt is buttoned meticulously and his tie is carefully tied. He looks very decent.
"Sorry to keep you waiting for so long, this is Yamada Shinichi." Harada Seiko bowed slightly and said to Pei Ziyun: "This is Mr. Toshiya Nakaden, he is our alumnus and the person who sponsors your club this time. .”
Pei Ziyun was slightly surprised and bowed quickly: "Hello, I am Yamada Shinichi, please take care of me."
"I am Nakadon Toshiya, the director of the investment department of Hashimoto Club." Nakadon Toshiya saw Harada Seiko leading Pei Ziyun in. He quickly stood up and bowed to Pei Ziyun, saying: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Yamada. !”
Harada Seiko bowed again and went to the cubicle to make tea.
The room was empty. Toshiya Nakaden did not sit down, and his attitude was more modest. He said to Pei Ziyun: "Congratulations to Yamada-don for winning the Ogawa Prize, and it is an unprecedented three consecutive times in Japan. It is really admirable!"
Pei Ziyun smiled slightly and said, "You are too polite, it's just a matter of luck!"
Nakadon Toshi didn't hesitate and directly stated the purpose of his trip: "Yamada-don, I won't hide it from you. Under the bridge, there is Hiyori Publishing House. It has been cooperating with the school before. Now, Yamada-don appears in the school. alumni, we certainly don’t want to miss it.”
"I'm here this time to get your new work. The conditions can be negotiated. What do you think?"
Pei Ziyun didn't think much and replied immediately: "I'm very sorry. I had an agreement with Baishi Academy Publishing House before. Baishi Academy Publishing House treated me very well. It's really inconvenient to break the contract."
At this time, Harada Seiko came out and poured tea for the two of them. He was a little surprised when he saw that Pei Ziyun did not agree, because Hiyori Publishing House was a big publishing house and ranked higher than Shiraishi Gakukan Publishing House.
However, the Japanese place great emphasis on loyalty. Harada Seiko thought of Pei Ziyun's reasons and felt that it was reasonable to refuse. Japanese people who change jobs casually will be looked down upon and may not even find a good job. Writers are relatively better, but loyalty is still worthy of praise.
Unable to listen to the next words any longer, Seiko Harada poured the tea, bowed, turned around and left, closing the door behind him.
After Seiko Harada left, Toshiya Nakadon smiled: "That's such a pity."
"But we sincerely admire a literary master like you. Have you read Ogasawara Junichi's works? I think you are a bit similar, but you are more relaxed. To put it a bit too much, I personally even think that your works are more honest. Peace implies the royal way.”
"Ogasawara Junichi's style of writing is cold, cruel, a little depressing, and has a strange atmosphere."
"You are so complimentary. How dare I call him a literary master? It's even harder for me to compare with Mr. Ogasawara. However, I am a bit ignorant about the style of writing."
"Mr. Ogasawara's life experience was very bumpy, and he was full of blood and tears. Before the first article was published, the author owed three months of room and board and almost lived on the streets."
"The painful life gave Mr. Ogasawara insight into life. It must be said that some philosophy seeped out of his writing."
"This is the author's talent and philosophy, which creates a unique world and gives readers a unique reading experience."
Pei Ziyun smiled, half joking, half serious: "However, I think this is still society's choice."
Zhongdian Min also came here under orders. The conversation with him was just social, and there was not much specialness in front of him. When he heard this, he was startled: "How do you say this?"
"In the final analysis, the purpose of the work is to show it to readers and gain resonance from them."
"It's not slander. In Japanese society, people are really under great pressure. Everyone feels their own powerlessness in society." Pei Ziyun said: "Mr. Ogasawara's writing style is cold and cruel, which not only reflects life experience, but also wins the readers' attention. resonance."
"This is also where Mr. Ogasawara succeeds."
If the market were to change, it wouldn't be as successful. Pei Ziyun didn't want to go into details about this, so he changed the topic: "You came here specifically this time to discuss these things with me, right?"
Nakato Toshiya was startled, coughed dryly, and then came to his senses. He sat upright seriously and bowed his head in salute: "Yes, to tell you the truth, I am actually from the shogunate."
"You also know the current public opinion situation. In such a situation, we can protect you."
"If Yamada-den is interested in us, I can personally help introduce you to them." Nakaden Toshiya said with great expectation.
Pei Ziyun was startled, then lowered his head and said, "I'm only thirteen years old, and I'm still in junior high school. Let's do this. Let me think about such a big thing again!"
Seeing Pei Ziyun's unmoved expression, Nakadon Toshiya was a little disappointed. He stood up, took out his business card from his arms and handed it to Pei Ziyun with both hands. At the same time, he solemnly and sincerely said to Pei Ziyun: "Yamada-don, please think again, overthrow the curtain sect." The lonely ghosts will not give up!"
