Chapter 397 Kamishiro Baifeng: You have no manners!

Chapter 397 Kamishiro Baifeng: You have no manners!

Although Maeshima Rika and Chitanda Mirai were confused, they did not ask Mizuno Maki, Shiina Shoko and Kamishiro Erina.

After all, just looking relieved doesn't mean that all three of them like Bai Feng.

And if the three of them really liked Bai Feng, they would have attacked directly like her, Lihua, and Wusha at that time.

Where can I wait until now?

Kamishiro Erina was really worried that they would find out that she liked Bai Feng, so she quickly changed the topic at this time:

"Ahaha, that's right."

"What are you planning to do when you go to the publishing house this time, Onii-chan?"

"Did he tell you in the future?"

Chitanda Mirai heard this and shook his head:

"It seems that he just said that there was something urgent over there to see him, so he didn't explain anything to me."

"But after thinking about it, I think it should be the problem with Bai Feng's new book."

Maeshima Rika suddenly realized:

"Ah, right."

"Hasn't Bai Feng been writing new novels during this time?"

"I think you told me it was called "Confession"."

"Sometimes when I see him in a coffee shop, he is writing."

"Has this novel been finished?"

Chitanda Mirai blinked:

"I've asked about this too."

"But from what he said, it sounds like it's almost finished."

Maeshima Rika said confused:

"I remember that Bai Feng coded very quickly."

"Why haven't you finished this confession novel yet?"

Kamishiro Erina glanced at her and Mirai:

"He used to be able to type in the store after get off work, but now he is most likely going on a date with you after get off work. In this case, how can he have so much time to type."

Chitanda Mirai and Maeshima Rika turned slightly red, coughed and snorted.

After all, this matter is really their problem.

If they didn't have to date Bai Feng every day, he would have written the new novel long ago.

Shiina Shoko scratched his face and smiled shyly:

"Speaking of which, the novels written by Bai Feng are really good."

"I'm actually quite looking forward to the release of his "Love Letter"."

Mizuno Maki nodded slightly:

"If he goes there this time, he is probably going to discuss the new book "Love Letter"."

When they heard the topic of love letters, all the girls couldn't help but look at Chitanda Mirai, thinking that this novel was based on her.

Chitanda Mirai looked a little shy when she noticed it, but she also felt that the "Love Letter" written by Bai Feng was written for her.

So she is also looking forward to it.

Kamishiro Erina said excitedly:

"In that case, Bai Feng's "Love Letter" should be on sale soon, right?"

Chitanda Mirai smiled and said:

"Although I can't confirm it, it's been almost a month."

"Even my novel started hitting the shelves in about a month, so I think it should be."

——

"My new book will be released next week?" Kamdai Bai Feng asked.

Chinatsu Igarashi nodded and said, "Yes, your "Love Letter" is confirmed to be on the shelves next week."

"Is there anything else besides this?" Kamdai Bai Feng continued to ask.

Chinatsu Igarashi explained: "I also plan to talk to you about the autograph session."

While the two were chatting, the elevator slowly opened.

Ding~

The elevator stopped slowly.

Kamishiro Shiro Kaede and Igarashi Chinatsu walked out.

The moment the young lady at the front desk saw Kamiyo Haku maple arriving, her expression suddenly became extremely excited. She carried the two novels "White Night Journey" and "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas" and walked directly in front of Kamidai Haku Kaede.

"Kamidai-kun, you are finally here. Can you sign your autograph for me?"

Kamidai Bai Feng paused, then smiled and said:

"Of course."

With that said, he started to sign autographs for the lady at the front desk.

Although Bai Feng rarely comes to the publishing house.

But the young lady at the front desk treated him very well every time.

So when the two meet, they will occasionally exchange a few words.

As for signatures, it was just a matter of convenience for Bai Feng.

The lady at the front desk was very happy after getting Kamishiro Shiro Feng's autograph and started to chat with him.

But Chinatsu Igarashi was not in a hurry to ask Kamishiro Hakuho to leave.

Anyway, it's only after two o'clock now, and there is still plenty of time in the afternoon to discuss matters with Bai Feng.

So there is no rush.

But just when the two were chatting.

The elevator from another place slowly came to this floor.

Ding~

Shindo Shizuji and Tominaga Kazuji came here.

Originally, the two of them planned to discuss new books, signings, and promotions, but when they saw Kamidai Haku Feng, they were stunned for a moment, and they did not expect to meet Kamidai Haku Feng today.

As the editor of a publishing house, Tominaga Kazuji was actually very jealous of Igarashi Chinatsu when he saw Kamishiro Shirokaed and Igarashi Chinatsu standing together.

Because Kamidai Bai Feng is currently the best-selling author in the publishing house.

With this kind of author, your income will definitely increase!

After all, the sales volume of the two novels "White Night Walk" and "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas" written by Kamidai Hakuho this month can be said to have surpassed all new books by new authors in the past two months.

Except for some very famous old authors who can surpass him, no new author can match Kamishiro Hakufeng.

It can be said that although Kamishiro Hakufeng has not shown his face on the Internet, his works are so good that his popularity on the Internet has remained high in a short period of time.

Also, their publishing house secretly released news intentionally or unintentionally, saying that Kamishiro Hakufeng is a genius author who is only sixteen years old and looks very handsome, comparable to a big star.

Kamishiro Hakufeng's popularity is even higher.

There are also many readers who are looking forward to Kamishiro Hakufeng's new book, hoping that Kamishiro Hakufeng can hold a signing event so that they can see this new author.

Even other very famous publishing houses, such as Dengeki Bunko and Kodansha, are very curious about Kamishiro Hakufeng himself and frequently come to ask for some personal information.

Although writing a hot novel may be a matter of luck.

But the second novel is also so popular, which means that this person must be capable.

Kamishiro Hakufeng is only sixteen years old. If he has more life experience, who can say that he can't reach a higher level?

So Tominaga Kazuji is very optimistic about Kamishiro Hakufeng.

When the author Shindo Shizuji looked at Kamishiro Hakufeng, his expression was full of displeasure, and his eyes flickered with jealous flames.

He felt that Kamishiro Hakufeng's "White Night Walk" and "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas" were just a pile of waste paper compared to his "Dream Abyss", which had no literary meaning at all!

So what if the sales volume is high?

It's just because the publisher has vigorously promoted it.

Whether it's on the street or in the bookstore, there are a lot of promotions for "White Night Walk" and "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas", which makes people sick.

If his "Dream Abyss" also had this kind of promotion, it would be impossible for it to be less than Kamishiro Hakufeng in terms of sales.

In the final analysis, it is just a work that has become popular because of the operation.

Without the operation, it is nothing.

Shindo Shizuji snorted coldly and glanced at the editor Tominaga Kazuji beside him.

Although this guy is also a fool, at least he still has some value.

As long as we discuss the promotion of the new book today, we can let this Kamishiro Hakufeng know that once his book is put into operation, it will definitely reach your level easily.

It will be released in the next few days.

At that time, it will just happen to be included in the collection of works for the Gunzo Newcomer Award.

Once the sales and reputation are good, he will definitely get the Gunzo Newcomer Award, which is said to be a must-win for all great authors.

At that time, the Rookie King and the New Writer of the Reiwa Era are what he should get, not you, a little kid!

And Kamishiro Hakufeng is just a 16-year-old kid after all.

The whole family should be very lucky to be able to have these two hot novels run by the publishing house.

As for whether Kamishiro Hakufeng's third novel will be a hit at that time?

Humph!

Impossible!

He heard that Kamishiro Hakufu's new work was about to be released, so he took out a novel that he had carefully crafted before, in order to let the publisher know that his novel would definitely sell better than Kamishiro Hakufu after it was put into operation.

When the performance of Kamishiro Hakufu's new book declines, he will fan the flames on the Internet and tell the truth, so that readers all over Japan will know that Kamishiro Hakufu's novel is just the result of operation.

As for now?

Let Kamishiro Hakufu go crazy for a while.

He will have a hard time then.

At this time.

Tominaga Kazushi felt that he could still fight for Kamishiro Hakufu.

Although there was a little unpleasantness because of the previous fight for the position of editor.

But Kamishiro Hakufu is now a hot commodity.

After all, the book "Love Letter" he wrote was highly regarded by everyone in Futaba Publishing House.

Even this "Love Letter", which is a love novel, surpassed Kamishiro Hakufu's previous book "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas" in describing emotions.

It can be said that anyone who has ever had a crush on a girl or a boy can empathize with the crush plot once they read this novel.

You have always liked the other person, but the other person has never noticed your feelings.

It was not until many years later that you suddenly realized in some unexpected events or objects that the other person liked you at that time.

But when you want to find the other person, you still can't find him.

This regret has been experienced by many adults.

And the crush and regret are vividly portrayed by Kamishiro Hakufu's "Love Letter".

It can even be said that even if you don't look at the plot of Kamishiro Hakufu's depiction of crush, just looking at the writing style, he can beat 90% of the authors on the market.

This Kamishiro Hakufu is really a genius!

Tominaga Kazushi has seen many authors, but he has never seen an author as talented as Kamishiro Hakufu.

You have to know that Kamishiro Hakufu is only sixteen years old.

And he has written two popular works in just two or three months. As for the "Love Letter" that has not yet been released, it must also be a hit!

This efficiency in opening a book and being able to switch between different themes with ease already proves that Kamishiro Hakufeng is a genius author!

Even the author next to him, Shizue Shindo, who has decent sales and can participate in the Group Portrait Newcomer Award, is completely inferior to Kamishiro Hakufeng.

However, he didn't dare to say it to Shizue Shindo openly, because this person has a really bad temper.

If you can't say a few words, it's up to this person.

Anyway, the results will speak for themselves.

But speaking of it, Tominaga Kazuji did not expect that Shindo Shizuji would choose to spend a lot of money to let the publishing house help him run it.

This is actually equivalent to giving money to help buy and promote your own books.

Although this operating model has existed before.

Even great authors do this.

But in fact, this still requires the quality of the book.

If your book is good, this is certainly no problem.

You can even say that if you don’t want to spend money to run the book yourself, the publisher will help you run it at its own expense.

This can increase sales a lot.

It can also take advantage of sales volume to sell the copyright of the work for a large price.

Kazuji Tominaga has read the new book written by Shizuji Shindo.

The writing is pretty good.

But that's from his editor's point of view.

If you want to sell well, just throw it into the market.

The market will test all products and get feedback whether they are good or not.

If the sales are good, the publishing house can help him pay for future operating expenses.

If the sales are not good, Shindo Shizuji will probably lose money to his grandma's family this time.

After all, Shindo Shizuji took 10 million yen for promotion, which is not a small amount.

He had tried to persuade Shindo Shizuji, but this man didn't listen at all.

He also said that if he could get the kind of promotion that Kamidai Bai Feng had, his book "Meng Yuan" would definitely become a hit.

When they heard this, Tominaga and Tsukasa shook their heads.

The author's circle is too small.

Perhaps Shindo Shizuji heard some wrong news, which led to the idea that Kamidai Hakuho was so popular because of promotion.

But they, the editors, know best.

All of this is because the sales performance of Kamidai Bai Feng is very good, so the publishing house will vigorously promote it.

And the effect of publicity is indeed very good. Compared with the works of some great masters of the same period, the cost of promoting Kamidai Shiro Feng's novel is very small, but the effect is better.

The better the effect, the publisher will naturally be willing to promote it vigorously.

This is a win-win situation for both the author and the publisher.

Everyone has money to make, so why not?

But no matter what, as Shindo Shizuji's editor, he still hopes that his authors can make a lot of money, after all, that way he can get commissions.

Tominaga Kazuji walked up to Kamishiro Shiro Feng, stretched out his hand and greeted politely:

"Good afternoon, Kamishiro-kun."

Of course, Kamishiro Shiruka remembers the Kazuji Tominaga in front of him. This person was the one who came over last time and competed with Chinatsu Igarashi to become his editor.

He even used some tricks.

But those things are in the past.

Kamishiro Bai Feng didn't suffer any losses from that incident.

They say that if you leave a trace today, it will be easier for you to meet again in the future.

Kamishiro Bai Feng felt that others had taken the initiative to say hello, so it didn't matter if they responded a little:

"Hello, Editor Tominaga."

Chinatsu Igarashi didn't have a good impression of Kazuji Tominaga.

Because she planned to steal her own author last time.

The workplace is like a battlefield!

Forget it if there is no conflict of interest.

But once it involves a conflict of interest, I'm sorry, even if you are a senior, there is absolutely no way she will give in!

Thinking of this, it was impossible for her to say hello to Kazuji Tominaga.

He even started to become vigilant.

Because I robbed Jindai Bai Feng once last time.

Who knows if he and the gold medal editors in Group A will compete again?

"Tominaga-senpai, why are you here this time?" Chinatsu Igarashi asked with a frown.

Kazuji Tominaga smiled and said: "Editor Igarashi, you don't need to be so wary of me. I just came here to say hello and say hello to Kamishiro Hakuho."

Hearing this, Igarashi snorted lightly and said nothing more.

She didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Anyway, she didn't believe that this person was so kind to come over and say hello.

Tominaga Kazuji asked Igarashi Chinatsu:

"By the way, Editor Igarashi, I remember that Kamishiro-kun's new book seems to have been decided to hold a release party, right?"

Igarashi Chinatsu narrowed her eyes and asked:

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Kazuji Tominaga smiled and said:

"Nothing, I just want to congratulate Kamidai Haku Feng on the success of his new book."

"But I want to ask"

"Miss Igarashi, is this your first time hosting a book signing for a reader?"

Igarashi Chinatsu frowned:

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Tominaga Kazuji raised the corners of his mouth slightly, shook his head and said:

"That's nothing."

"Ah, by the way, the person next to me is named Shindo Shizuji, and he is going to have a book signing with you, Kamishiro-kun, that day too."

"You will be at the same venue then, why don't you two say hello in advance?"

"After all, we are editors from the same publishing house."

He thought that both of them were authors, so he planned to let them get to know each other.

Shindo Shizuji sneered:

"No."

"I have no interest in greeting a fledgling brat."

After Kamishiro Bai Feng heard this, he immediately stopped extending his hand and said with a smile:

"I have no interest in greeting people who have no tutoring and no respect for others."

"Miss Igarashi, let's go."

When Chinatsu Igarashi heard what Shizuji Shindo said, she wanted to scold him.

After all, Kamidai Bai Feng was still very polite in her eyes. She might have been trembling because this man was older than him.

But now it seems that she is overthinking.

"Indeed, there is no need to chat with impolite people." Igarashi Chinatsu had seen this person's impoliteness before, so she glanced at Shindo Shizuji with disdain, and then followed Kamishiro Shirokaed to leave.

Shindo Shizuji obviously didn't expect that the god Bai Feng would dare to directly say that he had no tutor, so he stayed there for a while.

But when he realized what he was doing, he became furious and immediately wanted to grab Kamishiro Bai Feng and teach him a lesson.

"Hey, kid, are you looking for death?!"

Tominaga Kazuji on the side noticed it in time and quickly grabbed him:

"This is a publishing house, don't mess around!"

Shindo Shizuji was extremely angry:

"That brat just now, how dare you say that I don't have a tutor?"

"Can you bear it?"

Kazuji Tominaga was ashamed:

"Didn't you call him a brat first?"

"Why can't you stand what others say to you?"

Shindo Shizuji said angrily:

"I am his senior!"

"And he's older than him, why would he dare to talk to me like that?"

There is a strict upper and lower system in Japan.

Generally speaking, any crime committed in the workplace or below is considered unforgivable.

Therefore, it is very common for bosses to scold their subordinates in TV dramas.

Many subordinates even suffer from depression because of such a high-pressure environment.

However, Tominaga and Tsukasa knew that the relationship between Kamiyo Shiro Kaede and Shindo Shizuji was not considered a workplace.

After all, they both write novels. Once they leave the publishing house, there is not much connection between them.

But if this matter spreads to the author's circle, it will probably be a little bad for Kamidai Bai Feng's reputation.

And Shindo Shizuji really planned to send today's events to their group of authors to tell them how arrogant and bad the attitude of Kamidai Shiro Kaede was.

How dare you scold him for not having a tutor?

This is absolutely intolerable!

——

Editor-in-Chief's Office.

Kamdai Shiro Kaede and Igarashi Chinatsu came here.

Kamidai Bai Feng turned his gaze to the white-haired old man Yamanaka Dufu sitting in front of him.

"Long time no see. Good afternoon, Chief Editor Yamanaka."

Yamanaka Dufu slowly raised his head and looked at the extremely handsome face of Kamidai Bai Feng. After looking at it carefully, he nodded repeatedly, feeling secretly happy in his heart.

I just feel that when the press conference is held at the venue, the quality of Kamidai Shiro Kaede's new book and its appearance will definitely make the smelly old man of Kodansha feel envious and jealous.

He is so handsome, he is only sixteen years old, and he has three popular books.

This is a blast for any publishing house.

It can be said that it is the kind that is demanded.

At that time, it would be really interesting if the new author Shiro Kaede Kamishiro can have more people queuing up at the book signing event than the great author of Kodansha.

It would be better to say that Yamanaka Tofu originally wanted to have Kamishiro Haku maple start a book signing event when the second book was released last time.

At that time, a new author who was quite famous in Kodansha also held a book signing at that venue.

He did this to suppress the spirit of Kodansha's mortal enemy.

It's a pity that the god Bai Feng always said that holding a book signing for the second book would be too arrogant, so he had no choice but not to do so.

But now it's the third book, no matter how hard it is, there is no reason why Bai Feng can refuse it, right?

Du Fu in the mountain said solemnly:

"Kamidai-kun, I came to see you this time to discuss the new book and the signing event with you."

"You know this, right?"

Jindai Bai Feng nodded and said:

"Well, Miss Igarashi told me just now."

Du Fu in the mountain nodded slightly and said solemnly:

"This is a great publicity opportunity."

"If you are willing to announce the signing event, I will use this event to operate it. By then, your new book sales will be more, there is no doubt about this."

"So this time, I highly recommend you to participate."

"Rather, I can't think of any other reason for you to refuse."

On the side, Chinatsu Igarashi also looked at Kamishiro Hakuho expectantly.

She also very much hopes that Jindai Bai Feng can participate in this autograph session.

Because once you participate, with Kamidai Haku maple's appearance and the quality of the new book, the popularity will definitely be endless.

By then, whether it is the new book "Love Letter" or the previous "White Night Walk" and "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas", sales will increase at the same time because of this signing event.

Simply put, it is star power.

As long as a star becomes popular, his previous works will also be read by others.

Kamishiro Bai Feng thought about it and realized that if he could make more money, he really had no need to refuse.

"Well, okay." Kamishiro Bai Feng shrugged and agreed.

Dufu in the mountains was extremely excited:

"Okay, I'm just waiting for your words!"

"You remember to come to the venue when the time comes, but you must not be late!"
