Netizens are not talking nonsense for no reason, there is some truth to it, but some people's attitudes are too extreme.

"Even so, this is the city you grew up in, right? You can effectively use actual experience and memory."

Without Machida Sonoko's hint, Luo Ye tried her best to calm the mood of the black, long, straight girl.

Shiyu has really accumulated too much pressure recently, and she needs to confide in someone to vent it out, otherwise this burden will completely overwhelm her sooner or later.

Neither of them had much hope to see such a talented young writer die.

"Yeah, I chose this city because it's nothing special. To put it bluntly, a love metronome is a commonplace, unremarkable love story. That's why this ordinary street is just right."

After experiencing these sudden setbacks, Shi Yu also looked away, her mentality improved a lot compared to before, and she understood why Luo Ye didn't like this work in essence.

What she wants to write is a girl who is dissatisfied with the old-fashioned living environment and the unchanging interpersonal relationships around her, but she is powerless.In that unremarkable city, ordinary girls will also fall in love and want to meet such a story.

The sustenance bears all the beautiful fantasies of the girl Kasumigaoka Shiwa.In the story, her avatar Sayuka lives a glamorous life that she cannot match in real life.

The conversation box was completely opened, Luo Ye and Machida Sonoko gathered around the dining table, listening carefully to Shi Yu's complicated expression chatting about her mental journey.

Normally, she would not reveal her inner world to others so easily, she would often immerse herself in her own world without caring about others.Because of this, she doesn't even have a bosom friend in real life, and is basically alone.

Time passed quietly like this, until a sudden phone call interrupted the peaceful atmosphere.

Machida Sonoko asked the two to wait for a while and then picked up.Listening, her sleepy eyes suddenly widened, and her tone was a little excited.

"Okay, President, I see."

After hanging up the call, she coughed lightly, and immediately explained the confusion to the two who had shifted their attention.

"The president called and said that the sales volume of the love metronome has been sluggish since yesterday, and the increase has been obvious since yesterday. There are even people ordering from Tianchao. The signs are very good, keep going, Xiaoshi! There is a show!"

Although it is not clear whether she can take back the decision to cut in half, Machida Sonoko still patted her on the shoulder to encourage her, hoping that she can continue to maintain this original intention.

Her heart was trembling slightly, and Shi Yu's vermilion lips parted slightly to speak, but her gaze swept over Luo Ye inadvertently, but the words stuck in her throat abruptly.

Who helped her, the answer is self-evident.

She couldn't tell what was going on in her heart at this moment, she just felt that it was so complicated that it was hard to describe it in words, even as a writer, she was at a loss for words.

"It's really amazing. Why did the sales that were originally not optimistic suddenly start to rise?"

Machida Sonoko said with a smirk in a tone of knowingly asking, and meaningfully patted Luo Ye who didn't know it.

Even the thoughtful Luo Ye didn't expect that Shi Yu knew about it as early as that day, so she pretended to calmly agree.

"Perhaps this is the so-called fortune-telling. Congratulations, Teacher Xia Shizi."

Although he heard the praise, Shi Yu didn't seem to be happy, and kept silent with his eyes lowered, without saying a word.

Luo Ye frowned slightly, realized something very quickly, stared at Machida Sonoko with displeasure, and asked her if she was secretly tipping the news.

The young woman hurriedly shook her head desperately, as if there was no silver 300 taels here.Luo Ye looked at her suspiciously, but couldn't figure out why, so he could only restrain his doubts temporarily.

"Thank you."

Shi Yu bit her thin red lips so hard that the skin of her mouth was almost torn, and finally she said this thank you in relief.

Luo Ye just wanted to say no, but the girl seemed to let go of her knot and smiled at him brightly, smiling like a flower.

It's hard to imagine that this is the Xia Zhiqiu who has always been stubborn and stubborn. Luo Ye thought she would only be arrogant and poisonous before, but unexpectedly she also has a gentle side and a little woman's side.

"Could it really burn out?"

Luo Ye joked while suppressing a smile.He originally thought that this humorous teasing would get a response, but Machida Sonoko and Shiwa rolled his eyes in disappointment, and they mouthed each other in agreement, chanting a certain word.

Chapter 0074

The editorial department of the Fujimi study is full of people coming and going.The screen desks are separated in an orderly manner, and each person's work area is divided into separate areas.

Facing the computer screen, Sonoko Machida was busy browsing through a huge number of manuscripts.Although she was busy with work, there was a lingering anxiety between her brows, and she still couldn't let go of Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu in her heart.

She didn't know why she cared so much about this girl.A week has passed since the visit that day, and logically speaking, she should have forgotten it long ago, but she just remembered it more and more.

Shouldn't it be because of being single for too long that there is a problem with sexual orientation?

While thinking wildly, the voice of her colleague Nakajima suddenly brought her thoughts back to reality.

"Machida, an internal call from the marketing department."

"Ah? It should be about the sales of love metronomes."

Having said that, Machida Sonoko suddenly began to feel uneasy about that girl.

It is really appropriate to care about her indiscriminately.

Picking up the phone, after listening to what the other end wanted to convey, Machida Sonoko's eyes lit up, and she clenched the microphone to respond.

"Okay, okay, I see."

Hanging up the phone in a hurry, she printed a report and ran towards the president's office without waiting for her colleague Nakajima to ask what was going on.

In the corridor, the sound of trampling footsteps resounded.Machida Sonoko, who was holding the document, saw a familiar figure from a distance.

It was a middle-aged man with a greasy hair in a casual suit and a benevolent face.Just looking at the appearance, it is absolutely impossible to imagine that this is the vigorous and resolute president of Yamashita, but Fujimi's recent reforms are all related to him.

"President."

It is not clear why the other party left the office, but seeing that he was about to walk away, Machida Sonoko hurriedly called out, and ran over in a hurry regardless of wearing high heels.Yamashita turned around smiling.

"Machida, why are you in such a panic? What happened?"

"It's about the second volume of Xia Shizi's Love Metronome."

Machida Sonoko endured the soreness in her feet, gasped heavily, and tried her best to squeeze out a smile.

"Oh? What do you say?"

He suddenly became interested, and his narrowed eyes slightly opened.

"This is the latest statistics! Please take a look!"

She respectfully handed over the document that had just been printed.The middle-aged man quickly glanced over it, then waved the paper casually, and said to himself.

"Sales are good. If this is the case, then it is even more necessary to take advantage of the victory and launch a new work. There is not much time left before the release date of the second volume. I will not take risks for new writers. If the publication is delayed, the company's credibility will be affected. reduce."

What you said is very reasonable, yes, it is purely from the perspective of a businessman.

But it was precisely because of this that Machida Sonoko was particularly unwilling.She really couldn't bear to see that girl's dream trampled on by money and interests.

Machida Sonoko lowered her head, clenched her fists tightly, and said these words from between her teeth.

"Isn't it our job to create a creative environment for writers to go all out?"

Originally, she had already planned to anger the other party by saying these words. At worst, she would resign as the last resort. It is not impossible to change a publishing house with her qualifications and ability.

"Yeah, since the sales are good, let's continue the serialization of the work, President Yamashita. How can anyone become so popular so easily?"

An extremely familiar voice sounded quietly from the side, Machida Sonoko cast her eyes in that direction as if she had seen a ghost, and Yamashita immediately laughed heartily after hearing it.

"Haha, I'm just kidding, isn't there still a young and talented writer like you, Mr. Luo Ye? But since even you have said that, let's give Xia Shizi another chance. Judging from the current situation , should not lose money, our company's treatment of newcomers is quite good."

The middle-aged man finalized it almost without hesitation, and his amiable attitude made people even doubt whether the decisive words before were really spoken from him.

Machida Sonoko was wondering at the beginning how he could change his face when he changed his face, but considering that Sword Art Online has taken off after getting the recommended position, and it has exceeded [-] volumes in less than a month, it is not surprising at all. up.

Although this data cannot be compared with those old light novels, it can definitely be ranked among the new light novels released this year.Not to mention that Luo Ye is still so young, he is definitely worth wooing.

Even Xia Shizi is the same, with full potential.For Fujimi, this is a sure-fire deal, so it's no wonder he changed his words so easily.

After learning everything, Machida Sonoko was not very happy, and felt a little heavy for no reason.After the middle-aged man walked away, she sighed quietly.

"How did you come?"

She couldn't imagine what would have happened if Luo Ye hadn't been there at that time.Maybe she will really get angry and excited.

"Aren't the sales of novels increasing? Your president asked me to negotiate a new contract, and it seems that he intends to tie me to Fujimi."

Luo Ye stated without changing his face.Machida Sonoko couldn't help being stunned by that astonishing remark, her tone was a little stiff.

"Then what do you mean?"

This is a method commonly used in various industries, to tie up newcomers when they are not well-known.Once you are famous, you don't need to mention the benefits, even if you are not famous, there is not much loss.It's just that she didn't expect the new president to do it so decisively.

"I made an excuse to shirk it, saying that my studies are heavy in the future, and I may not be able to write novels at the same time. Why do you suddenly care about me? I thought your eyes would only be on Xiaoshi."

Luo Ye is still very clear about the stakes involved, and he didn't take advantage of it because of the momentary interests, but skillfully dealt with it.

The slightly ambiguous words made Machida Sonoko's expression a little subtle, and she coughed unnaturally.

"Don't you even go to school? It's clear that you are playing with him on purpose, right?"

"Really? I don't think so. Let's not mention these things for now. Don't forget to report the good news to Shiyu, she should be very happy. If not, I will discuss it with your president."

Luo Ye ordered with a light smile, the mature and calm tone made people almost forget the age gap between the two.

Machida Sonoko didn't know why he was so proficient and handled things in an orderly manner.But even if she withdrew the decision to cut in half, she still couldn't relax.

"She should be very happy when she finds out. I will help her talk to the bookstore about the second volume serialization later. There is not much left on the deadline, and I am afraid that she will be affected and will not be able to come up with a manuscript. .”

Chapter 0075

The weekend seemed a little long, and Kasumigaoka Shiyu, who was at home leisurely, was a little idle.

There are thousands of thoughts in my head, but in the end it can only turn into exhaustion.She was lying on the bed drowsily, wearing only a thin pajamas, a pair of slender and sensual legs completely exposed, the graceful scenery looming.

But anyway, no one can appreciate this scenery, so she doesn't care about anything, and lets time pass by quietly, even if it is deserted.

After an unknown amount of time, the phone rang suddenly.

As soon as he picked it up, the young woman announced the good news on the other end of the phone.

"Xiaoshi, the decision to cut it in half has been withdrawn. The release date of the second volume has been decided, and the bookstore has also sent an order. It is not much different from the first volume. This is an incredible thing."

Hearing this, Shi Yu's hand holding the phone trembled slightly, and her breathing became a little short.

"At the end of the month, there will be a signing event about the love metronome. I will inform you of the details at that time."

Machida Sonoko explained various things, and after understanding the situation, Shiwa knew that she cared about her, and expressed her sincere gratitude.

"No, no, I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do. But he's not. This time, it's thanks to him daring to speak in front of the president."

Machida Sonoko gave a brief overview of what happened before, with a hint of envy in her tone.

Not many people are willing to come forward to help at such a critical moment.

Shi Yu lowered her eyes and fell into silence, and she understood clearly in her heart.

"I see, let's do this first."

Throwing the phone casually on the soft quilt, the girl put her lotus root arms on her cheeks to block her sight, feeling confused for a while, not knowing how to face him in the future.

During this period of time, she also searched Luo Ye's Weibo on the Internet, and finished reading the warm but sad short story of the princess and the dragon.

The story is very simple, yes, but it can touch the soft side of people's hearts just right.

The princess got everything she wanted in the end, but the dragon died because of it.

Luo Ye, who is located in Toshima District, probably has no way of knowing this.He and Ying Lili have been busy for about ten days, and finally finished preparing the short manga for the Tezuka Award.

For this reason, the two spent a lot of effort, staying in the studio for several days and drawing manuscripts all night long, almost completely numb to comics.

"My immortal cultivators will be scrapped! You have to let me make up for all the lost spirit!"

With the completion of the last manuscript, Ying Lili put down the dipping pen used for painting as if relieved, breathed a long sigh of relief, and made such a request angrily.

"So, what are you going to do? Do you want to suck the energy from me to replenish yourself?"

Rubbing her temples with her hands, Luo Ye also knew that she really felt sorry for her these few days.

Few people can bear this continuous high-intensity work.Don't you see that Yinglili's original washboard-like figure has become thinner, and even the rolling hills seem to have disappeared.

You know, she is obviously still in the puberty stage.

"Who! Who cares! Bah! I mean cook something delicious to reward me."

Ying Lili's face suddenly turned crimson, she was unexpectedly innocent, her eyes were dodging as if she was ashamed to speak.

Originally, Luo Ye thought that as a writer, she was completely immune to such topics, but most of the time she still couldn't bear it, and only when her temper came up would she be desperate.

And the reason why Ying Lili, who has such a stubborn personality, is willing to stay condescendingly in this little-known studio.The reason for wanting to go ashore to become a serious painter is one reason, and it is also related to Luo Ye's cooking skills.

Knowing that the delicious food has won people's hearts invisible, Luo Ye stopped teasing her and walked downstairs with her sore and tired body.

The night outside was getting darker, and the stars were dotted in the dark night sky.
