Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

Chapter 351 Don’t compete with me

After chatting with a group of friends for a while, and promising to write recommendations for their new works or reprints of old books, Hojo Kyousuke chatted a few words with several mainstream media reporters under the guidance of editor Akamatsu, and gave some honest advice. True and false revelations.

The so-called mainstream media are newspapers and magazines distributed throughout the country. Just like the Asahi-related companies, in addition to reporters from the "Asahi Shimbun", their "Weekly Asahi" also has people. Although they belong to the same publishing house, the content they can publish is different.

Newspapers are limited by the influence of the "Journalists Club". In order not to be refused interviews by various government agencies in the future, they often have to figure out what kind of news the people above want to see.

Well, Neon’s so-called freedom of reporting has turned into the freedom of “not reporting” in front of these reporters.

The situation is different with weekly magazines. This publication was founded by Shozo Ogitani, the editor-in-chief of Weekly Asahi, in the Showa era. Journalists were not enshrined by major institutions, and while being excluded by those institutions, they had a great degree of freedom. Politician scandals, inside stories of big companies, scandals of public figures, as long as they are news that can help increase sales, they are the ones they pursue.

There is a saying in Neon’s journalism world: “Magazine reporters know how much return they can get from what they do, and newspaper reporters can still make newspapers even if they don’t know how to calculate accounts.” This is not a mockery of those who can collect money from TV stations and other places. To support newspaper reporters, it further illustrates the profit-seeking nature of magazine reporters.

So now those who are surrounding Hojo Kyousuke, besides expressing their desire to invite him to serialize novels in newspapers, are reporters from these independent magazines.

Unlike other weekly magazines that can unscrupulously write gossip, pornographic content, and even directly publish nude photos, "Weekly Asahi" carries the name "Asahi" after all, so its content is greatly restricted. Although he is the eldest brother who has led the younger brothers out of a prosperous road, in terms of influence now, it is completely inferior to "Weekly Bunshun". In fact, due to certain things, it is now going downhill.

Just as the Yomiuri Shimbun uses serial novels by famous writers to attract subscriptions, writers and print media are a match made in heaven. The former can rely on the latter to earn royalties and expand its popularity. The latter can use the former's own reputation to increase sales, which can be said to be the best of both worlds.

The age of bright stars in the literary world was also the happiest time for print media. Not to mention stimulating things like literati quarrels, just gossip about which writer went to which izakaya, and where he had a tryst with which female star, which can stimulate sales to soar.

What? Is this also gossip and indecent news? Are you kidding me? Can what a writer does be called indecent? It's so elegant that even the Prime Minister can talk about it.

According to neon society, and even the world's perception of writers, drinking and sleeping with prostitutes is a romantic affair and a sign of true temperament. Writers commit suicide or even pull others to commit suicide. It is because when they are trying to understand the world and create works that can serve to transform the world, their thoughts go too deep into the dark side of society. It's not him who's wrong, it's the world!

Of course, this situation is not limited to writers, art, art.

Therefore, as long as a famous writer can be caught trying to plunder the wool, the current situation of their magazine's downward trend may be immediately changed, and even the dream of becoming completely independent can be realized. As the originators of comprehensive weekly magazines, in this era when online media is beginning to rise, they may still be able to live a second life!

Seeing that "Shukan Bunshun", a gossip magazine, has changed its image in the eyes of the public by crazily praising a new writer, Hojo Kyosuke, and transformed from a gossip magazine into a literary and artistic style, "Shukan Asahi" simply gritted its teeth with envy. Broken.

He, Weekly Wen Chun, can harvest this wool, but I, Weekly Asahi, can't? Same! Same!

Didn’t you see that even the pheasant magazine from Hokkaido is here? Carrying the hopes of the entire magazine, I, Yoichi Toda, cannot possibly lag behind others!

"Teacher Hojo, Teacher Hojo, I have booked a restaurant to celebrate you, please be sure to enjoy it!" Yoichi Toda stepped forward and tried his best to squeeze away several other magazines and local media from Hokkaido.

Although Hojo Kyosuke's huge group of relatives and friends made his legs tremble, he believed that even if the club did not reimburse him, as long as he could get valuable information, the bonus he would receive would definitely exceed his imagination!

However, Mr. Hojo, probably, probably, would not be embarrassed to take so many people to dinner, right?

Treating guests to dinner is just the lowest tactic. The dirty guys like those in "Weekly Bunshun" even have an established team to conduct various hidden tracking activities. They play mahjong with politicians for a month, and the other party wins money at the card table when they are happy. Make a surprise attack to ask questions, or pretend to be a waiter at a club digging through trash cans to look for condoms...

I'm just inviting you to dinner, but you're still doing a good job of maintaining the dignity of the club!

"Have a meal?"

Hojo Kyosuke was stunned for a moment and looked around at his support group of nearly thirty people. For a moment, he admired the other party's courage to say this.

The reporter from the "Hokkaido Shimbun" next to him was also stunned. Hojo Kyosuke was a rare writer born in Hokkaido. He was planning to establish friendship with him and get an exclusive report.

If it weren't for this report, they wouldn't have come all the way from Hokkaido. Just get some news from the Internet or independent reporters, it's cheap and affordable. As a local newspaper, this is what they do on a daily basis.

"Teacher Hojo, I know an izakaya that specializes in selling Hokkaido customs. It's perfect for gatherings at this time!" He immediately said not to be outdone.

"Izakaya? Mr. Hojo is not yet an adult! I have already reserved a sushi restaurant that can accommodate even forty people." Yoshitoki Hirota of "Weekly Bunshun" immediately shouted.

"How can I let you spend money at this time? The publishing house has already prepared a banquet."

Suddenly, a good news interview turned into a restaurant recommendation.

Seeing that his two editors had joined the battlefield, Hojo Kyosuke breathed a sigh of relief. He had talked too much nonsense today and really didn't want to deal with these guys.

The moment this idea appeared, he couldn't help but start to recall how he usually dealt with it at times like this.

Oh, it turns out it was handed over to Kisaki. This perfect subordinate will help him fool those less important magazines, and then arrange the order according to the priority of the business invitations. There will never be a scene like this with a group of people surrounding him. When he encounters some questions that he doesn't want to answer, he will immediately interrupt, making news interviews much more comfortable.

So, where is this reliable subordinate now?

Hojo Kyousuke turned around and looked around, and soon saw the figure of Tetsuta Kirisaki in Ishida Hidenori. The subordinate was looking at him intently, wanting to rush over immediately, bow ten times, hand out business cards, and then take out his notepad and get to work.

But why is Ishida Hidenori still here? Is that guy Kisaki planning to imprison him here and wait for the last train on the Central Line to leave before letting him go?

Tokyo has underground and above-ground rail transit systems all over the city, but the one most popular among suicides is the Chuo Line, which runs from east to west. Unfortunately, this track is right next to the Meiji Memorial Hall. You can walk to Shinanocho Station in less than three minutes. Two hundred yen can make office workers who can't wait to go home wail, making Tokyo... The number of customers in alleyside izakayas and internet cafes has surged.

In this way, although it can be regarded as making a contribution to society again, doesn't it mean that I am delaying myself and waiting for others to eat later? inappropriate.

Well, very good, Kisaki, well done!

Even though he thought so, Ishida Hidenori's face looking at him full of resentment was really ugly enough.

However, why do the two people controlling Ishida Hidenori on the left and right look so strange?

Hojo Kyosuke stared at the two men who were also looking here again and again. Although he no longer cared much about the affairs of the Rampant Angel, if a new person joined, Kisaki would definitely let him have his way.

Looking at the group of men in front of me, they were talking more and more outrageously. They were going from one store where the wine was cheap to the one where the girl was pretty, and the bubble bath next to them was better. Among them, the most enthusiastic one was Maki Kyousuke. It seemed that College life really taught him a lot.

Glancing at his mother and others, Hojo Kyousuke quickly interrupted.

"How can I ask everyone to spend money on me on a day like today? I have arranged everything. You can just have a drink later."

Although Kisaki was not around, Kisaki must have taken care of such a matter of course.

"Yes, Kyousuke has already booked an izakaya near Akasaka. Thank you for your kindness." Kasumigaoka Shiu came over at some point, bowed slightly and said with a smile.

She had called so many people over to create a surprise for Kyousuke. With how thorough she was in doing things, how could she not think about what happened next. Not to mention the party and dinner, she even arranged the accommodation for the night.

If Kyousuke planned to entertain friends at home, she would take out her family's property in Tokyo and the chef would rent it from any hotel. If you plan to go to a higher-end restaurant, countless high-end restaurants in Roppongi provide services...

However, considering the attributes of Kyousuke's friends and today's activities, she felt that a place like an izakaya might be more suitable for celebration, so the izakaya was carefully selected.

The izakaya called "Feng" is not high-end, but it is very close to the Meiji Memorial Hall and has a huge private room that can accommodate forty people.

She chose this store because she considered the name of the store owned by Kyousuke's other friend Miki Okudera. The store funded by Kyousuke used Chinese characters as the name of the store, as did Ruyiliao, so this "Feng" Kyousuke should also be very popular. like.

"Haha, that's it."

Hojo Kyosuke nodded unceremoniously, then looked at Shiwa-senpai with a smile.

Ah, as expected, a secretary like Shiyu-senpai is the best person. I can wear black stockings, book hotels, take myself home, create surprises for myself, and even help me adjust family relationships.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu also raised her little face and showed a satisfied smile.

The scene of the two smiling at each other unsurprisingly caught the attention of reporters, and everyone immediately became excited. They already knew who Kasumigaoka Shiu was when they were searching for Teacher Kasumigaoka Shiu, and they immediately knew there was a story in it!

Aisaka Tsuyoshi was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Hojo Kyousuke was so prepared that he was not even willing to invite himself to his house for a meal! That beautiful lady must have prepared this izakaya for him!

Damn it, when will my wife help me pay the bill at the izakaya!

There were more wild thoughts deep in Gosaka's head, such as a club, but he didn't dare to think about that.

"Let's go, it's almost time to pass."

Hojo Kyousuke raised his hand. Although there were still many people staying in the venue, he just wanted to sit down and drink a glass of Coke. When you are happy, you have to have a cup of Coke to let the bubbles boil the happiness. When you are sad, you have to have a cup of Coke to let the bubbles carry the sadness out of your mouth.

"Okay! I'm going to drink enough today!" Onizuka was the first to respond. He would definitely drink himself to death to celebrate his eldest brother today.

Danma, Hata Goro and others, who knew that Onizuka was completely under the drinking age, did not mention this at all, but instead shouted happily.

After talking to his mother and other girls, Hojo Kyousuke found Shigeru Hamamoto, the chairman of the Honya Awards Executive Committee, and warmly invited him to celebrate with him. However, the latter was still busy communicating with various parties, so he had no choice but to tell him. Give the other party's address and ask him to reward you after finishing the business.

At the same time, Amamiya Miki was also invited. He thought that the clerk who saw him and Mitsuha Shiu-senpai and others in the dressing room would refuse, but he did not expect that the other party actually gritted his teeth and agreed as if he wanted revenge.

"Okay, let's go." He returned to his team, and everyone walked towards the entrance of the venue.

Ishida Hidenori saw Hojo Kyosuke walking towards him. He knew that this was his last chance. Even if he went to the newspaper to expose the evil deeds he had done to him, the newspaper would only regard it as a loser. Wail.

Especially when he saw that he was surrounded by so many reporters who he wished for and were being flattered, the anger that had been suppressed for a long time completely burned his sanity.

"Hojo..."

The man on the left covered his mouth before he was halfway through his roar, but he didn't hesitate at all and opened his mouth wide and bit hard.

"Ah!" The man who didn't let go even though he felt that the stench had soaked him in, still let go.

"Hojo Kyousuke!" Hidenori Ishida roared and was about to rush forward, but he tripped and fell to the ground after taking only one step, and his front teeth instantly hit the ground.

Hiss, this hurts so much.

Hojo Kyosuke took a breath, and there were many others who made the same move as him.

"Boss, is this your fan?"

Onizuka asked curiously. He had indeed seen from story books that those crazy admirers would cover the sewage with their bodies and let the big shots step on them, but this was the first time he had seen it in reality.

You are truly worthy of being a big brother, even the fans are so enthusiastic. But the red carpet is obviously very clean, right?

"Hahahaha, yes, yes, he is a fan of Hojo! As Tokyo's new legend "Heisei Style", his charm is beyond your imagination!"

Aisaka said with a bad smile, and the Misaki Megakus next to him also laughed unceremoniously. This is an interesting story that will be recorded in Hojo Kyosuke's life in the future. If he and others appear in the spotlight, his reputation as a righteous party will be passed down through the ages.

"Bagayalu! What are you talking nonsense!" Ishida Hidenori raised his head and roared, but because the bleeding front teeth were too painful, his voice was not really loud.

But those eyes looking at Hojo Kyosuke are about to burst into flames. No, even if I die here today, his blood will be splashed all over me, leaving behind the glorious image of Ishida Hidenori who bravely resisted the evil forces!

Moreover, with so many reporters, Hojo Kyosuke would never dare to do anything to me. If he did, those gossip reporters would not let such a big news go by, and his image would be destroyed immediately. There is no way to deceive women anymore!

Hidenori Ishida cheered himself up in his heart, thinking about how he would pounce on Hojo Kyosuke later and how he would rub the blood from his big teeth onto his white shirt. But now there are several people standing around him, and they will be stopped if he takes action, so he wisely chooses to endure it for the time being.

Seeing the arrival of the rightful master, her mission was barely completed. Kisaki silently retreated to Hojo Kyousuke's side and whispered a few words.

The other two men in black suits who thought the mission had failed also silently stepped aside, lowering their heads and not daring to speak at all. From the early encounter with Ishida Hidenori, we could see how terrifying his lady was. Now that the two of them have messed up, even bathing in urine will not be enough to atone for their sins. When they thought that they might lie on the central line with Ishida Hidenori for company, the two of them wanted to take off their pants and help Ishida Hidenori take a bath first.

"Ishida-san? What happened? Why is this happening?"

Hojo Kyosuke took a step forward and spoke in an unusually smooth voice.

Winning a grand prize, relatives and friends gathered together, beauties in arms, enemies on their knees.

Just one of these four can make people happily drink two kilograms of Coke, let alone the four joys gathered together, it will be super super doubly happy. It's a pity that no one has come forward to take responsibility for Ishida Hidenori's farce, otherwise he would have had to drag the other party to drink two drinks.

But it doesn’t matter, you can take the blame yourself. Very happy to.

"You despicable villain, how dare you ask me what's wrong!?" Hidenori Ishida got up and shouted angrily.

What he said in the newspaper before was clearly the concern of the seniors for the juniors. It was a ridiculous thing for a high school student to enter the literary world. Drawing children's cartoons should be done properly to make money from those fools. Isn't that great? Now he actually came here and snatched away the house's grand prize, snatched away his chance to go on stage to deliver his acceptance speech, and even snatched away the beautiful emcee.

If he had just been obedient and stopped writing novels, none of this would have happened, he wouldn't have made such a fool of himself, and he wouldn't have peed his pants! Everything, everything, is all caused by this guy! And so are his parents. You are also responsible for raising such a despicable son!

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Hojo Kyousuke frowned, not because he was pretending, but because he enjoyed the fun of teasing fools. He didn't care about the reporters next to him at all. Not to mention that he didn't do it at all. Even if it was, wouldn't this story of a prince fighting the dragon just increase his popularity?

"You boy!!!"

After regaining his freedom after a long absence, Ishida Hidenori was turning his wrist, his small green eyes constantly looking for opportunities to take advantage of.

"Ishida-san, what are you talking about? Have I offended you in any way?"

When it comes to irritating people, Hojo Kyosuke studied under Kasumigaoka Shiu, so he can't be said to be very good at it, but it's enough to concoct an Ishida Hidenori. Still using honorifics, still full of doubts on his face.

Such an innocent gesture would become extremely hateful in the eyes of the person involved, and he knew this. So deep in those dark eyes, the strong smile could almost overflow uncontrollably.

Hearing this, Ishida Hidenori immediately couldn't suppress his anger and didn't want to look for any opportunities anymore. The few remaining IQs disappeared immediately.

Aren't you just a brat who is still young? Look at me, I...

Hiss, no, no.

Ishida Hidenori took a step back and was about to push forward with his right foot when he paused.

He saw the dozen or so strong men in black suits behind Hojo Kyousuke, each one looking more fierce than the last.

Hojo Kyosuke's height of 1.8 meters is considered very tall, but the people behind him are not inferior to the others, and there is even a taller and stronger person.

Black suit, black leather shoes, wild hairstyle, evil smile.

These people, even in the club twenty years ago, were not so vicious!

Kyosuke Hojo is not the only bad guy, this, this is all bad guys!
