Chapter 269 What kind of work can a high school student write? It's just a child's play!
"Ah~" Maeshima Rika opened her mouth, wanting Bai Feng to feed her.
After seeing this, everyone in the Literature Department became a little unhappy and looked at Kamishiro Bai Feng with squinted eyes.
And Kamishiro Hakueda looked at Maeshima Rika's expectant look, and then he chose.
Put it in the lunch box!
After Maeshima Rika saw it, she immediately pouted and looked at Bai Feng unhappily. Then she picked up the meat slices with chopsticks and put them into her mouth, biting them hard to express her dissatisfaction.
Jindai Bai Feng just smiled and said nothing.
Mizuno Maki, Chitanda Mirai, and Watanabe Hina all felt relieved when they saw this.
They were actually a little afraid that Kamishiro-kun would really impress Maeshima Rika and feed her to her.
If this is really done, wouldn't it mean that the relationship between the two has taken a further step?
At that time, Rika-chan will definitely choose to use a more radical method to attack Kamishiro-kun.
But it would be best if nothing like that happened.
Shiina Shoko looked at Maeshima Rika with confusion.
Why does Rika-chan need to be fed by Kamidai-kun?
Doesn’t she have someone she likes?
Could it be because she just wanted to tease Kamishiro-kun?
That should be it, right?
Lihua Jiang had to feed her this way before.
All good friends are like this, right?
Although Shiina Shoko felt something was wrong, she could only think so.
——
afternoon.
Jingle bell bell~
The school bell rang as scheduled.
Kamishiro Shiro Feng handed the key to Mizuno Maki:
"Mizuno-san, if Yui-san and I don't come to the coffee shop, then I'll leave it to you to handle the store's affairs."
Mizuno Maki was stunned for a moment, then took it seriously:
"Well, I will take care of the store."
Chitanda Mirai asked:
"Kamidai-kun, are you going to the publishing house now?"
Jindai Bai Feng nodded and said:
"Well, get ready now."
Chitanda Mirai said curiously:
"Then do you plan to make a photocopy and then go over there, or do you plan to show him the electronic version directly?"
Kamidai Bai Feng said:
"Copy it and give it to them later."
"I'll give you the electronic version after signing the contract."
Chitanda Mirai smiled and said:
"This is indeed better."
"Then let me first wish Kamidai-kun's manuscript to pass!"
Urahara Junko gave a thumbs up:
"Although I don't know what the situation is, Kamishiro-kun will definitely be able to do it!"
Mizuno Maki nodded and said:
"Yes."
Kamishiro Bai Feng smiled and thanked:
"Thanks."
With that said, he started to walk out of the classroom.
Of course, I also met Maeshima Rika and Shiina Shoko on the way.
After chatting with the two of them.
They all knew that Bai Feng was going out.
They all gave their blessings.
After Jindai Bai Feng said goodbye to them, he left the school.
Take the train to Futaba Publishing House.
soon.
He came to the vicinity of Futaba Publishing House.
Kamdai Bai Feng did not rush in, but looked at the time first.
His appointment was for half past five.
It's only after four o'clock, which is still early.
And you have to make copies before going in.
Kamishiro Hakuho remembers that there were a lot of self-service copy shops near the office building.
These places are usually open 24 hours a day.
Kamishiro Bai Feng didn't even need to look for it on the map. He casually glanced downstairs of the publishing house and found one or two copy shops.
He walked over with the USB drive in his hand.
Then I started copying.
Because the word count is still relatively large.
Kamidai Bai Feng copied it for a long time and spent a lot of money.
After copying, Kamidai Bai Feng looked at the time.
I found that there was still a little time left for the discussion.
He was not in a hurry, but instead bought a bottle of drink downstairs, drank it down, and then walked upstairs.
In front of Futaba Publishing House.
After Kamishiro Bai Feng took the elevator up, he walked straight to the front desk and asked the young lady at the front desk:
"Hello, I'm Hakuedu Kamishiro. I have an appointment with Chinatsu Igarashi as editor at 5:30."
The young lady at the front desk, who was bored and playing with her mobile phone, slowly raised her head after hearing Kamishiro Shiro Feng's magnetic voice.
All of a sudden.
She was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly ran her hands to comb her hair, got up quickly and said shyly:
"Hello, your name is Kamishiro Shirokaed, right?"
"I'll check it for you now, please wait a moment."
The young lady at the front desk noticed that Kamishiro Shiro Feng was looking at her, and she became nervous inexplicably. She even made several mistakes in her previous quick and precise keyboard typing movements.
Her face became a little hot because of this.
But fortunately, the screen could not be seen from the direction of Kamidai Bai Feng, so he was not discovered.
Not a moment.
She finally found out the appointment of Kamidai Haku Feng, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled at Kamidai Haku Feng and said:
"Yes, you have an appointment with editor Chinatsu Igarashi at 5:30."
"Now I have notified the other side through the computer."
"But she might be busy right now."
"You can sit on the sofa and wait."
"I'm sure she'll be here soon."
Jindai Bai Feng nodded and thanked:
"Thanks."
Hearing his thanks, the young lady at the front desk was extremely happy. She stood up and walked to the water dispenser nearby, pouring a glass of water for Jindai Bai Feng.
She walked over and handed it to him.
"Kamidai-kun, please use it."
Kamishiro Bai Feng looked at the people waiting on the side and found that there was water around everyone.
He knew that almost everyone at the front desk would fall down, which was quite normal, so he didn't refuse.
Kamishiro Bai Feng took it in his hand, smiled and thanked:
"Thanks."
The young lady at the front desk became even happier and quickly said:
"Since the editors take a long time to read the article, it may take a while."
"If you feel a little hungry, there are some snacks over there to fill your mouth."
Kamishiro Bai Feng is quite polite to strangers.
In addition, he came here to see the editor and not to eat or drink. He shook his head and refused:
"No."
"I'll just wait here."
The young lady at the front desk knew that Kamishiro Shiro Feng was a high school student just by looking at what he was wearing. She thought he was being shy and said with a smile:
"You don't have to be so polite."
"These are all free."
"I'll bring it to you."
With that said, she ran directly to get it and stuffed a lot of it into Bai Feng's hands.
Kamishiro Bai Feng scratched his face and felt that the young lady at the front desk was too enthusiastic.
But since he had brought them all, he couldn't refuse. After taking them, he thanked:
"Thanks."
The lady at the front desk said happily:
"Then remember to tell me if you have anything."
"I'm going back first."
Wait until the lady at the front desk returns.
The authors waiting there all turned to look at Bai Feng, with some jealousy and envy in their eyes.
After all, the young lady at the front desk just brought them water.
How could anyone be so enthusiastic and even offer snacks?
Although there are snacks nearby, anyone can take them if they want.
But the lady at the front desk never reminded them!
Of course they wouldn't be so shameless and just go and get it.
However, since everyone present came to read the manuscript to the editor, most people were not thinking about this, so no one said anything.
Because no one knew each other, there was basically no chat, and the place was eerily quiet.
Kamishiro Bai Feng had no intention of chatting with strangers. He just looked at the literature book in his hand while waiting.
at this time.
The elevator was slowly pushed open.
An adult man wearing punk clothes slowly walked over. He looked arrogant and said unceremoniously to the young lady at the front desk:
"I'm Shindo Shizuji, I have an appointment at half past five."
"Tell your editor to hurry up and make time to deal with mine first. I have other things to be busy with later."
The young lady at the front desk was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Okay, please wait a moment."
"I have now notified the editor."
"If they have time over there, they will come find you."
"Now please sit down and wait a moment."
Shindo Shizuji coldly snorted:
"Tell him to hurry up!"
"They are all rubbish manuscripts. What's interesting about them? You might as well deal with mine first."
"It's a big publishing house, so the work efficiency is really low?"
"If you don't want to read it, there are still a lot of publishing houses that want my manuscript!"
The lady at the front desk smiled awkwardly, but she had seen many such arrogant authors, so she could only say helplessly:
"I will inform the editor as soon as possible."
"Sit down and wait for a moment."
Shindo Shizuji looked disgusted:
"Then tell him to hurry up!"
Others waiting on the side couldn't help but frown when they witnessed this scene.
I just feel that this person's attitude is not very good.
"OK."
Although the lady at the front desk didn't like to entertain these people, that was her job, so she had no choice but to hand him a glass of water and then returned to her work station.
After she sat down, she curiously began to search the Internet for this person named Shindo Shizuji.
After searching for some information.
She discovered that this person seemed to be an author from another publishing house and had published a work.
Although the sales volume is not very good.
But it is still better than other ordinary authors.
He's the kind of author who can't live up to his high standards.
Now that this person has achieved results, why did he suddenly change publishing houses?
Could it be that something happened?
The lady at the front desk searched again and found that many people commented on him that his works were average, but his character and temper were terrible.
Could it be that the manuscript was rejected by other publishers because of my bad temper?
The lady at the front desk didn't know, but she always felt that this person looked like he was in trouble, so she didn't plan to say anything unnecessary.
Anyway, this is not the first time I have seen such a very proud author.
The more you see it, the more you get used to it.
She has been working here for a while and noticed that most authors are arrogant and only think that their own works are the best.
But reality is often cruel.
Not all authors can maintain their own standards and make every work a hit.
Even the most popular authors are the same.
And these fledgling and arrogant people will eventually be smoothed by reality.
She had met many people like Shindo Shizuji before.
But most of them disappeared after publishing one or two works.
When they met again, they were no longer in a good mood, and some even gave up writing and went to work or part-time jobs.
Although she didn't like to entertain people like Shindo Shizuka, there was nothing she could do, work was work.
The front desk lady turned her head and looked at Kamishiro Baifeng who was reading quietly, and her mouth couldn't help but slightly raised, and her mood improved a lot.
Xunsi has been working for so long, but this is the first time she has seen such a handsome author, and he is still young.
I just don't know how the work is?
And Shindo Shizuka, who was sitting on the sofa and gulping down water, was bored and began to scan other people waiting.
When he saw most people, he looked disdainful.
He just felt that these people would most likely be PASSed by the editor.
But when he scanned Baifeng, he couldn't help but frowned.
Finally, he couldn't help but snorted!
Xunsi looks good, but after all, he is just a high school student, just a young boy.
In Japan, a society as impetuous as this, most high school students eat, drink and have fun every day. What kind of profound works can such high school students write?
It is probably just a child playing house!
And the fact that Kamishiro Hakufeng is sitting here means that he is a new author with no strength.
After all, authors with achievements do not need to wait here in front. Instead, they will be brought in by editors in advance.
Some popular authors even have editors who take the initiative to go to their homes to entertain them, fearing that the big authors will give their manuscripts to other publishing houses for publication.
If he had not had a little conflict with the previous publishing house, how could he come to this publishing house and have to wait here like a newcomer.
Humph!
After his work is published here, it will definitely be a big hit!
When the Lightning Library Publishing House knows that it has missed such a talented author, won’t it regret it to death?
At this time.
In the publishing house.
Igarashi Chinatsu is being criticized by the team leader.
"Igarashi-san, you have to work harder. You have been in the company for half a year, why haven't you met the performance target yet?"
Igarashi Chinatsu also wants to meet the performance target!
But she really can't find other good manuscripts.
And she is not the only one in the team who doesn't meet the target.
Isn't it the same for other editors?
After all, the good authors are in the hands of you old editors, and they will never let them go.
As for new editors like them, they can only look for a needle in a haystack.
They have to look for them among a bunch of newcomers every day.
It's a great fortune to meet a few new authors with some strength in a year.
But the team leader didn't scold her much, so he was a good person.
So she could only bow and apologize:
"I'm so sorry!"
"I will definitely work hard next time!"
The team leader shook his hand helplessly:
"Forget it, continue to go out to work."
"Work hard!"
Igarashi Chinatsu sighed after coming out, walked to the computer and took a look, and found that there were still a few appointments today.
After seeing this, she was even more distressed.
I think I have to work overtime tonight to read the manuscript.
Reading the manuscript is fine.
The most annoying thing is that it is really a waste of time to read it, and the manuscript cannot pass at all!
Even if it passes, and is ready to sign the contract for publication, there is still an elimination system.
That is, the same type of books are printed for the first time.
There are only about 1,000 to 5,000 copies.
At the same time, they are sold in a small range at several sales points.
If the sales are good, they will be reprinted and reprinted.
It is equivalent to promotion.
As for failure, it is gone, and it may even be sent back to the publisher.
This kind of performance is directly regarded as zero.
Only works that are promoted can get commissions.
Of course, it is only possible.
In fact, there are cases where sales have deteriorated after reprinting and losses have occurred.
Igarashi Chinatsu encountered this situation several times.
However, some of them were promoted again.
It’s a pity that the sales were not particularly good.
In the end, my performance did not meet the standard.
Igarashi Chinatsu was a little angry, wondering when she would meet an author who could become famous and make her a lot of money?
She looked at the time and found that it was already half past five and she was a little hungry.
But she couldn't get off work until six o'clock to eat.
Now she could only continue to read the manuscript.
If the beginning was not good, she could just let the author go home and go to eat.
After all, people nowadays are very impetuous. If the beginning is not well written, no one will be willing to read the rest, but will read another book instead.
Although this fact is cruel.
But the market is like this.
Igarashi Chinatsu glanced at her appointment list and noticed that the author who made an appointment with her at half past five was called Kamishiro Hakufeng, and was a high school student?
This is too young.
There are very few people who can write good literary works at this age.
At least Igarashi Chinatsu didn't have any expectations for this person.
But the process should still be followed.
She walked to the front desk and asked the young lady:
"Who is Kamishiro Hakufeng?"
The front desk lady saw that she finally came, and happily pointed at Kamishiro Hakufeng in the corner: "Chinatown is finally here, that handsome boy, I've been waiting for you for a while."
"Handsome boy?" Igarashi Chinatown looked up and her eyes lit up immediately. She covered her cherry red lips and nodded repeatedly at the front desk lady in surprise.
The front desk lady also understood and nodded in return.
Although the two did not speak, their eyes and actions had already communicated a lot.
Igarashi Chinatown walked to Kamishiro Hakufeng happily:
"Kamishiro Hakufeng is you?"
"I am Igarashi Chinatown, the editor you made an appointment with."
Kamishiro Hakufeng slowly raised his head, looked at Igarashi Chinatown in OL clothes in front of him, nodded and said:
"It's me."
Igarashi Chinatown smiled and said:
"That's good, please follow me in now."
Kamishiro Hakufeng packed his schoolbag, stood up and said:
"Okay."
He followed Igarashi Chinatown out of the waiting area and came to the place where the manuscript was read.
There are several compartments in this place.
But there are no doors, just two baffles blocking the front and back.
When Kamishiro Hakufeng came over, he also saw that Shindo Shizu was brought here and went to the next room to read the manuscript.
"Kamishiro-kun, let's get straight to the point now."
Igarashi Chinatsu was in a super good mood when she saw a handsome guy like Kamishiro Hakufeng.
She planned to help him read the manuscript a little more seriously for this reason.
But she didn't think it would pass.
Because according to the company's statistics, the passing rate of high school students is not high.
But it doesn't matter.
If the manuscript is not good, she can still patiently explain to Kamishiro Hakufeng what needs to be revised.
Or let him change to a topic that is more suitable for the public now!
When Kamishiro Hakufeng heard her say this, he took out his manuscript from his schoolbag and handed it to her.
"Ms. Igarashi, please."
After taking it, Chinatsu Igarashi looked at the name and raised her eyebrows slightly:
"I Want to Eat Your Pancreas?"
