——Lun Taijun was also a person who wrote simple stories before, and the "My childhood sweetheart is the strongest editor" is a later thing.

Maeda Wanko hummed softly, closed the laptop, and stood up.

"Forget it, come here, let's go eat."

The editor went on to say.

"Finally, Mr. 'Being Yourself in the Flames', congratulations on the publication of your work."

...

"Most people do what they like. You should be familiar with the nerd circle, but before entering the industry, you read more orthodox works that are often intercepted in school textbooks?"

"Then, why did you choose the housing circle instead of the mainstream literary journals? Now that you think about it, your stubborn temper and stubbornness are more likely to be voted for orthodox magazines. Why did you choose the light novel literary world at that time?"

The editor's voice is very gentle and slender, but like a small paper knife, slowly peeling the girl away.

"You like words, so you also want to write. There is nothing wrong with that. Then why did you choose the light novel industry when you took the first step?"

The young girl pursed her lips and did not answer.

The editor watched silently, finally moved his lips, and finally said the answer.

"Because... you think, in the light novel industry, the difficulty is easier?"

The girl's shoulders trembled.

"What you like are the literary giants who have left their names in history, and what you read are works that record the era, but when you are finally dissatisfied with being a reader and want to join the creative community, you choose a completely different field. Why?"

The editor's voice became harsh.

"You are afraid, you feel that you can't challenge, you can't challenge Ozaki Koyo, Izumi Kyoka, you can't challenge Natsume Soseki, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, they are idols in your mind, but when the position changes and become the target you are chasing, you can do it You don't know what to do. You're terrified!"

"No, no..." the girl said.

"...It is said that literati are inferior to each other. You must be a little funny when you first come into contact with the industry. You must be thinking about what kind of plots are those? What are those articles full of language errors? What are those conjectures that have no basis in reality?" Editor Said, "You seem to have found a low-level, hand-practicing place. You plan to try your own strengths here, and leave after receiving a lot of praise and self-confidence."

"I haven't," said the girl.But it was more like the panic of being caught by a weakness, and the voice was weak and weak.

"It's a pity that the ending is not what you expected. Instead of succeeding, you failed. The failure was so miserable that there were not many readers who were willing to read your words carefully. It was obviously a serial work, but you were told that you would be cut in half. , the first work in my life ushered in the punishment of decapitation—”

The editor sighs.

"You don't listen to my advice, you just go your own way. You underestimate this industry too much."

...

Sit on a lounge chair in the hallway.

Takehara Yumi lowered her head in a daze.She stared blankly at the warm coffee in her hand, watching the white sugar in the cup melt into many white threads, spinning and tearing in the dark and turbid coffee.

She has been reading books since she was a child, prior to her peers, seeing rare words and gorgeous rhetoric earlier.

Compositions in elementary and middle schools are always praised by teachers and envied by classmates.She was always the top student standing on the podium and reading her essay aloud. "

Being affirmed, recognized, boasted, and treated as an honor, the feeling of burning talent is delightful.

But now his fingers were trembling.

The girl's eyes were confused.

It turned out that the first time I saw criticism and indifferent messages was so overwhelming. It turned out that I couldn't make excuses for my failure without doing my best. "

Only now do I realize that I am not a genius.

Creation turned out to be so lonely and powerless.

So angry, but... still unable to break through the cage called talent.

So want to give up?

give up.

What a sweet word, once the thought arises in the heart, it emits an intoxicating fragrance like a bottle of poison, forcing people to drink it freely.It means ease and the absence of pain, of not having to know every moment that you are weak, that you are so bad.

but.

but--

Not reconciled.

Giving up, stepping on the road filled with sweat and obsession all the way, but turning back, what a humiliation, what a blasphemy to myself before.

I don't want to just give up.

Squeezing that thin talent, waving it to meet the wind and rain.

That was really, really hard.

"I thought you would be happier. Why is your face so flat? Isn't the novel's fire not your plan to overtake in a curve?"

"I'm very happy now, can't you see it? The first book in my life has been published as a physical book."

Two people walked over while chatting, each of them was holding a bento, eating deliciously and happily.

"What I mean is, I thought you would be happier. After all, based on your impression in my heart, it should have been right to chant poems in ecstasy..." said the clear voice.

"My image in your heart is biased." The voice of the salt department replied helplessly.

"But light novels are really competitive, so don't feel pressured, take your time."

"It's okay, isn't the worst thing to be cut in half?"

"Such a big heart? This is what you came up with after staying up all night. Don't cry to me when you are beheaded."

"So you guys are thinking too much. My plan to overtake on a curve is actually just talking about it. I haven't really thought about it. What's more, this work can be created together with you. What a wonderful thing. Even if it is cut off, But it is also a rare memory. Just imagine, when we all have gray hair, we will take out the yellowed novels we wrote together back then. That would be a romantic thing."

The man laughed.

"Trouble about it, worry about it, worry about it. Then go beyond yesterday's self, and chat with geniuses like you when you are old, and you won't feel regretful. That's the path I set for myself."

"It's so pretty, Brother Shimadzu. I didn't expect that our friendship is so deep... Then can you share this chicken steak with me?"

"climb."

The two fought each other for food and walked past.

Takehara Yuyumi raised her head slightly, and she looked in the direction the two left.

The girl thought of the cup of hot drink she was given before, and the words of comfort.

Is that person also a novelist?

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Mushroom Bamboo Shoot War. It refers specifically to the Mushroom Mountain camp centered on Chocolate Separatism, Hammers, and Cookie Pie, and the Bamboo Shoot Village camp centered on Chocolate Mixism, Drill Bits, and Cookie Pie from 1980 to the present. The largest civil war in Japan going on between—"

Yin Ze crossed his hands, holding up his delicate chin.Slowly speaking with a heavy voice like a staff officer.

"Since the sale of Bamboo Shoot Village in 1979, it triggered small-scale faction wars across Japan in the 80s. With the popularity of the Internet in the 21st century, the flames of war burned all over Japan in an instant. Mushroom Pie and Bamboo Shoot Pie are sold in these two Arguing endlessly on the issue of who is better to eat snacks, choosing words and making sentences, verbal and pen criticism, water and fire cannot be tolerated, and the anger is very big!"

Bojing Ippei is holding a box of bamboo shoots in his hand. This is a Japanese national snack. The combination of chocolate and biscuits is very suitable for inadvertently consuming excess energy to gain weight.He was a little hesitant at this moment, and he didn't tear open the package for a long time, because he couldn't figure out what someone suddenly wanted to do by saying these things.

Could it be that the other party belongs to the Mushroom Hill Party?Angry at yourself for eating bamboo shoot village?

"Today University will also hold a Mushroom and Bamboo Shoots War. Simply put, it is to see who has the higher sales of two boxes of snacks within a certain period of time. After the war starts, when you go to the Dongda Store to buy things, you will find that both sides are at war. There was bloodshed caused by ketchup." Yin Ze said alarmistly.

"It's just a marketing gimmick of Meiji Company. Although I don't know if the original debate about which of the two tastes better is the spontaneous behavior of the buyers, but there is no doubt that Meiji Company has perfectly seized the business opportunity..."

Kashiwai Ippei felt amused by this childish fight, and said lightly.

"Of course I don't care. But I didn't expect you to be so fussy, haha. I always think that their focus is not on the taste. If you don't consider the shape design, it is obvious that the taste of the two ingredients is more integrated in Bamboo Shoot Village. But I don't know you What good opinion does Xiao Xiao of the Mushroom Party have?"

"The advantage is that pinching the roots of the mushrooms will not dirty my fingers." Yin Ze is sure, "And you have to wash your hands after eating these pieces, wasting precious time."

"..."

This guy's way of thinking is still as clear and realistic as ever.

Kashiwa Ippei took a deep breath, "What exactly do you want to express?"

"Hmph, doesn't the manager think that this huge firm should be updated?" Yin Ze said indifferently, there was a deep shadow in the three-dimensional facial features.

"What?" Kashiwai Ippei was puzzled.

"Stick to the old dogma and fail to learn about new things in time. If things go on like this, we will only end up being ignored and eliminated. We must change, from now, from today!" Yin Ze's expression was serious.His words are deafening, he is like a wise man who uses his voice to wake up the bewildered and numb masses, "Let the tiny fire burn away the staleness!"

Omg.

Kashiwai Ippei suddenly became excited and excited.He knew that the golden scales were a thing in the pool!Some people have been dormant for a long time, and finally realize the fate that befell them, revealing their original sin desires and ambitions!

"I'm really dull, Xiao Bailong might as well make it clearer." The manager took up the conversation with restraint, persuasively and persuasively.

"First of all, the lobby of this company has a lot of people coming and going. There are employees and guests from all walks of life. There is a saying that people rely on clothing and gold, and the appearance must be taken down. You can't be petty. Which big factory do you see? The environment is cheap? No matter how you do it, you have to make the gold flakes and the flecks inside, right?" Yin Ze spoke like a leader.

"...Although the description is weird, please continue to teach me, sir." Ippei Kashiwa said modestly.

"I don't do that kind of castle-like conception and planning. A successful person depends on his thinking and execution ability. I pay more attention to practice than planning." Yin Ze said confidently, clenched his fist like a genius investor, "Bojing Sang is older than me, and also has the meritorious service of blocking vodka for the general manager at the reception. His words must have more weight than me. I am a humble person, and I want to use you to change the status quo!"

"Hmph, since you know that I have blocked the Wushuang challenge launched by the other party's wine tycoon to the manager of our company three times, then you should know my loyalty. You want me, a hero, to be your white glove? Don't be afraid that I will expose you directly. Are you two-hearted?" Kashiwa Ippei pretended to be resentful.

"Everything I do is for the sake of a brighter tomorrow for the office, so what's the crime?" Yin Ze said deeply, "My actions are as clear as a mirror."

"Well, that's about the same. To be a human being, you have to be so open." Kashiwa Ippei instantly praised, "Sure enough, our pursuit is the same. We are all for the glory of the firm, and we don't have ourselves in our hearts. Over the years, the department manager is more than defensive. , but lacks aggressiveness, I have long wanted to replace it, snatched the leather swivel chair, and personally settled in the chess game of the industry! You also have such an idea today, I am very pleased."

Yin Ze suddenly fell silent, carefully scrutinizing the manager's lustful face, and he continued after a few seconds, "...Then let's start the crucial first step."

"Quickly explain all the schemes. After all, I am a high-level cultural person, well-read in history books, and my own hardware strength is so powerful. The fusion of Kong Ming and Fengxian belongs to it. With the help of Mr., this is a big plan to seize the house. I can't wait." Kashiwa Ippei was very sincere.

"For this first step, please ask Bo Jingsang to open up the joint between the Ministry of Commerce and the administrative department." Yin Ze emphasized.

"Do you want to grasp such a strategic point right from the start? I will try." Kashiwa Ippei frowned.

"Then establish an all-weather strategic partnership with the company's front desk lady and equipment purchasers." Yin Ze said.

"Okay, it's all on me." Kashiwa Ippei readily agreed.

"Then let them purchase the following strategic materials." Yin Ze took out a piece of paper and handed it over.

The manager took this "smart plan" firmly, looked at it carefully, and murmured.

"Glico's Pocky stick, slim size, アルフォート chocolate biscuit, じゃがりこ vegetable stick, 711 super pudding, キシリクリスタル, UHA taste candy, Calbee French fries three brothers, LeTAO cheese egg, Hokkaido Sapporo Agricultural School milk crisp Biscuits..."

what is this? ? ?

Kashiwa Ippei fell into thought.

Want to buy people's hearts with genuine sugar-coated cannonballs?

This is the list of snacks that the yearning elementary school students who are about to go to spring outings make for their mothers in order to share the joy with their female classmates under the cherry blossom trees?

"According to the plan, when the situation matures, I will make follow-up arrangements." Master Yin said firmly, "In addition, the public wireless LAN technology of the office is also somewhat outdated, which will be an immeasurable drag on smartphones, tablets, and printers. , iterative acceleration is imminent.”

"You mean the WiFi speed here is not fast enough?" Bai Jing was expressionless.

"Exactly, I got stuck with bugs when I was playing activities. I have passed the test, and I haven't paid the settlement for a long time. How can this work? If it is converted to work, this is a communication accident." Yin Ze slapped his thigh hard.

"Excuse me, do you want me to find you another WiFi?" the manager said quietly.

"Here, let's make a long-term plan. Let's settle the matter before we talk about it before it's too late." Yin Ze waved his hand and said.

sizzle-

Kashiwai Ippei coldly shattered that clever plan.

"It took me a long time to compile a list of [-] high-cost snacks that can be bought within [-] yuan!" The man exclaimed.

"I shouldn't have fantasies about you. I knew your nature early on. Last time, the lady at the front desk told me that someone used a laptop to connect to the wireless network for three days and three nights in the company and downloaded dozens of GB. The game, but the user name still has my name, that person is you!" The manager stretched out his hand and pointed at death, "Every time you buy in the snack area, you eat the most, and look at those new juniors, every day Come check in, be humble and polite, wait for a rare opportunity! And you'll just eat the chips!"

"So I often invite them to have a free afternoon tea on the hour." Yin Ze paused.

"It's a shame that you're still here with us, no, it's a rare high-skilled seiyuu in the entire industry, who only knows how to ask for it, but doesn't know how to report it!" Kashiwa Ippei felt heartbroken.

"Why, are there very few people in the industry who have studied at Dongda?" Yin Ze was puzzled.

"Nonsense, your school has an annual enrollment quota, which is rare in the whole country." Kashiwa Ippei was speechless.

"It means that, in fact, there is not a benign case in the industry." Yin Ze said, "In the absence of comparison and reference, everything I do is groundbreaking. How dare you characterize me? How dare you?"

"Presumptuousness, it's rare, but it's not impossible. EM is an old-fashioned firm. How can you be proud of your talents here? Farther away, there are also your alumni and seniors. Closer, there is Miss Waseda in the agency..." Ippei Kashiwai gave a difficult example.

"By the way, where did Brother Bojing graduate?" Yin Ze remembered.

"Hmph, I resigned from Dentsu back then."

"Brother Bojing, where did you study?"
