Tokyo Bubble Life

   Chapter 143 142, how can this be called rubbing rice?

   The snow the next day really thickened, and there were still sporadic snowflakes falling in the morning.

  Xuebao, the little snowman at the door, is conscientiously looking out the door with his pebble eyes, and he really feels that his home is a lot safer

   Yesterday, I was tricked by two old men. Today, Naoki Yongshan doesn’t plan to go out.

  In the morning, I patiently made porridge with green vegetables and lean meat for breakfast. While enjoying the snow scene in the yard, I ate a delicious breakfast, which made people look forward to a new day.

  NHK's morning drama with Japanese characteristics, each episode is 15 minutes, usually only housewives have time to watch it, and social animals have basically gone out to work at this time.

   Of course, there are also young people like Naoki Naoki who have nothing to do

   Watching TV early in the morning is a very strange experience, it is a very refreshing feeling

  The 15-minute short drama is very interesting, and the protagonist is also a woman. Even if you haven't watched it before, it will not affect the plot of the day.

   Can grab people's attention in such a short period of time. This screenwriting and editing have a bit of skill.

   After the morning drama ended, Naoki Naoki naturally watched the morning news, then other programs in the morning, and spent a half of the day full of anticipation watching TV.

   The plan to stay at home for a whole day was cancelled near noon,

  Kuniji Morikawa from Shogakukan called again.

   "Naokushi-san, have you returned to Tokyo?"

   "Hi, I just came back soon~"

   "That's good, that's good~ I wonder if you have time this afternoon?" Kuniji Morikawa said, "The translation of the novel has arrived~"

   "Hi, if I have time in the afternoon, I can come over in the afternoon."

   "That's the best, then we'll meet in the afternoon and talk!"

  I was going to stay at home all day, but now I have to go out.

  I ate a little something to fill my stomach at noon, and saved my stomach for a big meal.

   This can't be called rubbing rice! The editor invites the author to have dinner, isn't that what it should be~

  The afternoon naturally cannot go early. Naoki Yongshan lingered at home until 3 o'clock before putting on his windbreaker, hat and scarf, grabbed the camera, and went out in the slowly falling snow.

  The boots stepped on the snow on the sidewalk, making a soft clicking sound, leaving angular footprints one by one. On the road from Shan Yingyuan to the adjacent park, there were more traces on the pure white snow.

   There was no one at all in the park, and even the old man who usually strolled around disappeared. Naoki Naoki was curious.

  It is understandable that the elderly are afraid of the cold, but where are so many young people full of feelings?

  Treading the snow to find a secluded place is so suitable for literary and artistic youth, but no one participates?

  Nagayama Naoki was wandering in the park alone, raising the camera from time to time to take a few pictures, but suddenly found a white ball moving around in the bushes!

  I walked in and saw that it was a puppy energetically biting the grass in the park. The fluffy off-white fur was exactly the same as the surrounding snow, and I couldn't tell without trying to distinguish it.

  Looking around, Naoki Naoyama didn't even see the owner of the dog. He squatted down and touched the puppy. It was still focused on biting the grass, purring softly, and didn't have any fear of people.

   But Naoki Naoyama saw a light blue cloth collar hanging around the puppy's neck, indicating that it was a domesticated and not a wild stray dog, and then looked closer at the puppy's head, this kind of naive expression.

   Whose Labrador cub ran out of?

  Yongshan Naoki pinched the puppy's neck, and the puppy made a "bang bang" sound,

  Haha, is it still a weirdo?

   The puppy is only less than 2 months old. The thick layer of fluff is very warm. It can be seen that it is clean, healthy, and energetic. It does not look abandoned.

  The people living in Chiyoda District are relatively few, and the neighborhood of the small park is even more secluded. That is to say, some of the residents should have accidentally run out of the surrounding residents.

   Such a small dog can't run very far. To be able to come to this small park means that he must have followed his owner before.

   Then if the owner finds that the puppy is missing, he should be able to find it soon by following the route he has traveled before.

   "Little guy, I hope your master will find you soon~"

  Nagayama Naoki did not take the puppy away, but stayed where it was, so as not to increase the difficulty of the owner's search.

   After leaving the small park, I also talked to several merchants who opened stores on the street:

   "I saw a white Labrador puppy in the small park. If the owner asks, please tell him~"

  The shopkeepers also kindly agreed.

   The sporadic snowflakes finally stopped, and along the snow-covered street, Naoki Naoki slowly walked towards the Shogakukan,

   Pushed open the door of the primary school building, and the glasses mother Nozawa Reiki was still on duty at the front desk. When Naoki Naoki came in, he was pleasantly surprised: "Naoki-san, you are here!"

   "Ha, I made an appointment with Kuniji Morikawa. Ling Xi-san, how's the new year?"

   "I'm very happy~" Nozawa Reiki walked out of the front desk, "Naokushi-san, please come with me first, let's go to the reception room first."

   "Hi, I'm sorry~"

  Is this the third or fourth time in the reception room of Shogakukan? Anyway, it feels very familiar here.

   After Nozawa Reiki brought people here, she first served a cup of hot tea before going to inform Morikawa Kuniji.

  Nagayama Naoki just picked up the newspaper on the shelf and took a look. NATO is accusing the Soviet Union of interfering in Poland again. It will take 9 years for the Soviet Union to disintegrate, right?

   In such a random thought, Kuniji Morikawa came over with a stack of manuscripts and materials.

   "Naoshu-san, Happy New Year~"

   "Arigado, how was the New Year's Day at Bangjisang?"

   "Thanks to you, this year has been very good." There is an author with high gold content under his name, and the red envelopes at the end of the year are much thicker!

   Thinking of this, Kuniji Morikawa became even more enthusiastic: "Naokushi-san, in fact, the translation of the novel from a few years ago has arrived, but I thought about not disturbing Naoki-san for the New Year, so I postponed it until now."

   "Hahaha, that's really well done!" Naoki Yongshan would never have seen it years ago!

   "In addition to the translation of the novel, it needs to be confirmed with Naoki-san, as well as the royalties for the translation and the like."

  Although it has been entrusted to Shogakukan last time, the final result of the negotiation still needs to be confirmed with the author.

   The translation copyright of this novel was won by Scholastic Group in New York, and the final share was 6%, but 1% was taken as the intermediary of Shogakukan, so 5% was finally available.

  Nagayama Naoki doesn’t know if it’s high or low, but with Shogakukan’s commission, he will definitely talk about it.

   "There is no problem with the split." Naoki Naoki happily signed the confirmation.

   Morikawa Kuniji nodded: "Then Naoki-san can confirm the translation after he goes back." This is a condition that was proposed at the beginning, and the translation needs to be reviewed by the author.

   "Hi, but the text is not long, I'll just read it here~"

   "Is that so? That's the hard work of straight trees!"

   Morikawa Kuniji obviously did not expect Naoki Naoki's decisiveness, but it is of course a good thing to quickly confirm the translation and speed up the workflow on his side.

   The reception room was left to Naoki Naoyama, and Kuniji Morikawa also asked Reiki Nozawa to prepare refreshments and writing tools so that he could modify it directly.

In my previous life, I studied English hard for more than ten years, and when I was a programmer, it was the working language. In terms of English translation, Naoki Yongshan may not be as good as simultaneous interpretation or diplomat, but he can also say a professional. .

   In general, this translation is not bad, but it should be translated from abroad. Some of the words in the article that contain traditional Japanese culture are not very clear. Following the principle of Xinyada, Naoki Naoyama has made some adjustments.

   How many words can a translation of more than 50,000 words have?

   It will be good for at most 1 hour~

   "Naoshu-san, really amazing!"

  Kuniji Morikawa looked at the translation he had changed a lot. Even if his English level was not high, he could see that the changes were more understandable.

   "Where is it~ I just added a little bit of my own opinion." Naoki Naoki said modestly, then looked at the clock on the wall, it was almost 5 o'clock,

   "It's already this time, so I won't delay Bongji-san getting off work, so I'll say goodbye first~"

   "Haha, it's already this time, how can Naokushi-san leave like this!" Kuniji Morikawa laughed, "How can we have a drink together!"

   Sure enough! The editor invites the author under the name to eat, isn't that what it should be?

   How can this be called rubbing rice?
