tokyo soulful legend

Chapter 22 Undercurrent
As the evening approached, the sky gradually dimmed, and the distant skyline that was dyed red by the setting sun began to shrink gradually. Pieces of fiery clouds were gradually engulfed by the falling night, and the night began to gradually occupy large tracts of sky in the city. The boundaries seem to be visualized at this time.

On the [-]th floor of Baiyuanchuan Building, the president's room.

It was quiet in the office.

Bai Yuanchuan, who was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, looked down at the window.

In the main road of the city below the building, there are still many vehicles coming and going, and the sound of the engine is gathered together, which is somewhat noisy. The street lights on the sidewalk have already been turned on, and the pedestrians commuting under the lights are like a bird under the extension of the distance. Just like ants returning to their nests, occasionally someone stopped, picked up the phone, covered their ears on the side of the main road with their hands, and chatted with the person on the other end of the phone.

Boom, boom, boom.

Regular knocks on the door sounded. Bai Yuanchuan retracted his gaze from the window, turned around, and said "come in" to the door.

With the gentle click of the door, a female face he was all too familiar with came into view.

Before Bai Yuanchuan could speak, Kaoru Kanno who walked up to him had already started to report, "President, Beichuan, I have already conveyed your meaning."

"So fast." Bai Yuanchuan glanced at Ye Xun in surprise. He actually didn't have a deep impression of the editor of Bai Yuanchuan's library. The only one who had memories before the release of "Listen to the Wind" probably Only she has been in the company for more than two years, and she is an old employee. This impression, he thought about it, and asked, "What did he say?"

"He didn't say anything, he just replied 'yes', which is considered to have settled the matter."

Mentioning this, Kamino Kaoru felt somewhat helpless.

Logically speaking, at Kitagawa Che's age, when she talks to him about topics about success and fame, he is always too indifferent. The only things that can cause him trouble are 'actual' things, such as royalties, such as Say it's divided.

But from another perspective, this can be considered a good thing. If Kitagawa Che took everything indifferently, she would have a headache. Such an author is not easy to communicate, let alone communicate. To put it mildly, he has a big heart, but to put it bluntly, he has a big heart. It sounds better, that is too Buddhist.

In the circle of Tokyo authors who pursue fame and fortune, such a personality has its advantages and disadvantages.

"He doesn't care about any of this?"

Bai Yuanchuan met Kaoru Kano's eyes.

Even Kaoru Kanno only met Beichuan Che a few times, but no matter what, he knew each other better than him.

"In terms of fame and fortune, relatively speaking, he cares more about the latter." Kano Kaoru honestly told what she observed, "He is not the kind of person who only yearns for poetry and distant places. What he seeks It's more practical."

"You mean the royalty share?"

Bai Yuanchuan understood what Kamino Kaoru meant.

"Yes, among those two meetings, the only thing that could cause him some trouble is the royalties."

To be more honest, this is a master who does not see the rabbit and does not scatter the eagle. It is useless for him to simply paint the cake.

Kaoru Kanno silently added these few words in his heart.

"I understand." Bai Yuanchuan nodded, and then gave Kaoru Kano a look of "Thanks for your hard work". He paused, "Tomorrow, I have to ask you, Kanno."

"I understand, President."

Kaoru Kano nodded slightly.

"Whether it's Beichuan or his work "Listen to the Wind Singing", for the Baiyuanchuan Library, it is worth pouring resources into."

Bai Yuanchuan looked at Kaoru Kanno, he had already made his meaning very clear.

In terms of royalties, Bai Yuanchuan Library can give him special treatment.

It is better to retain a budding genius author than to cling to the royalties.

He is already mentally prepared. In addition to royalties, he can also give the other party a rather generous additional contract.

"I will convey your thoughts to Beichuan before the meeting tomorrow."

Having said so much, Kaoru Kanno, who is no longer a rookie in the workplace, can't understand the subtext of the president.

"It's getting late." Bai Yuanchuan turned around, "Kano, that's the end of today's work, take a good rest at night, recharge your batteries, and prepare for tomorrow."

"Ok."

After bowing slightly, Kaoru Kanno left the office.

With the sound of her footsteps fading away, and the sound of the closed office door, Bai Yuanchuan turned around and sighed.

From his personal point of view, he hopes to keep Beichuan.

He had read "Let's Listen to the Wind Sing", and he was also severely amazed.

At the moment when the library, or publishing houses, are becoming more and more competitive, when the second round of "Listen to the Wind Sings" starts to be released, other senior publishing houses will definitely start contacting Kitagawa Che.

This kind of mutual poaching is all too common.

But in the final analysis, it is not his decision to decide who will stay or leave. The one who really makes the decision is Kitagawa Che. As for coercion and inducement, based on his life experience, 'grooms and inducements' may be more useful for people like Kitagawa Che.

In addition to these things, he has one more thing to do tomorrow.

Bai Yuanchuan let out a long breath, turned his head, and his eyes fell on the book "Listen to the Sing of the Wind" on his desk. His precious daughter specifically mentioned that she wanted Beichuan, the future great author, to read it. Autographed.

He even asked her specifically, is he so convinced?As an author, she answered in the affirmative without hesitation.

To be honest, as an old father, seeing his daughter boasting about an 'outsider', even a young man of the opposite sex, his heart is a little delicate.

But no matter what, even if he is in a delicate mood, he still has to do what should be done. Who made him soft-hearted, he has already agreed to this request.

And in the final analysis, this request is easy or difficult to handle. The easy thing is that it can be mentioned casually tomorrow. The difficult thing is when and how to raise it.

Closing his eyes, this middle-aged man who used to have sharp eyes and was invincible in the mall couldn't help but sigh again.

Maybe this is one thing that brings another thing down. A father is destined to be unable to deal with his own daughter.

*
Under the Baiyuanchuan Building, Kanno Kaoru, who was carrying a briefcase, thought for a while and called Beichuan Che.

She personally thinks that it's better to talk about it earlier than later.

What's more, the sooner you say it, the less anxious you will be. She personally has a good impression of Beichuan Che.

On the one hand, it is the excellence of "Listen to the Wind Sing", and on the other hand, it comes from that handsome face.
