Crossing over, and then being blocked by a rich JK

“This is 2.7 times the size of the Silver Moon Hotel’s banquet hall.”

As if he could see through what Watanabe Yu was thinking, Beichen Ichiro answered his questions.

“…It’s quite exaggerated.”

Watanabe Yu sighed.

The Yasuhara family is indeed very powerful.

But then again, his homeroom teacher, uh, no, his teacher in charge also has the surname An Yuan, so to round it off, he can be said to have a close connection with people with the surname An Yuan.

"That's just the beginning." Beichen Ichiro shook his head, "They also have overseas businesses."

"strong."

This is the most powerful episode.

The conversation came to a temporary halt, and Ichiro Kitano led Watanabe Yu into the banquet hall.

The actual situation inside once again surprised Watanabe Yu. It was not that it was so luxurious inside, but that there were too many people coming, so many that it was beyond his imagination.

Taking the banquet hall of the Silver Moon Hotel as an analogy, the crowd that caught his eye basically took up three quarters of the banquet hall. Apart from the space for walking, there was basically no remaining area.

In other words, the banquet hall of the Anyuan family is indeed large. With so many people here, it doesn't seem crowded at all. Instead, there is still a lot of white space.

"This time they invited not only the various families, but also their business partners, including but not limited to well-known figures in various industries. Look, aren't they your acquaintances?"

As Beichen Ichiro said this, he raised his eyebrows and motioned for Watanabe Yu to look directly in front of them.

The scene was almost the same as it was then. Tongshan Jun was still holding a glass of red wine and chatting with his old friend in the corner.

But even so, several circles gathered around them at a relatively ambiguous distance.

Obviously, they wanted to deal with this veteran in the literary world, but they had no channels.

However, this predicament did not last too long. Those who could participate in such a banquet all had a bit of the trait of becoming more courageous after setbacks, that is, being thick-skinned.

Finally, after waiting for a while, two young men shamelessly came over.

To their surprise, it seemed that Mr. Kiriyama was in a good mood. He was not as unapproachable as the rumors said. Instead, he started chatting with them.

"Want to go say hello?"

Ichiro Hokushin looked at Yu Watanabe.

"forget it."

Watanabe Yu shook his head.

Compared to old man Tongshan Jun, he was more concerned about where the Saint Miss was now.

However, some people are very sensitive to other people's gazes in certain situations.

"So..." Tongshan Jun, who was speaking excitedly, frowned and glanced at the main entrance. After seeing the familiar figure, his eyes suddenly lit up, "You guys move aside."

Several young men were stunned for a moment, then obediently moved aside.

Although Kiriyama Jun is old, his eyesight is very good.

Watanabe Yu's figure suddenly came into his sight.

"This kid is here too!"

Tong Shanjun looked at the young man next to him, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, motioning him to go over, "Young man, please go over and call that tall and handsome young man over, and tell him that I have something to say to him."

"Okay, Kiriyama-sensei!"

The young man nodded obediently, took a step forward, and walked towards Watanabe Yu.

Although Kiriyama Jun did not say who it was, in that direction, the only person he could admit was Watanabe Yu.

Soon, he came in front of Watanabe Yu and conveyed Kiriyama Atsushi's words truthfully.

Watanabe Yu first thanked him, and was about to say something to decline, but suddenly he found that Kiriyama Atsushi was looking at him intently.

have to.

His words of refusal were finally swallowed in his throat, and he turned to look at the young man in front of him who was a few years older than him, "Okay, let's go together."

People are already in this situation, what else can he do except go over there?

"Then I'll wait for you over there."

Beichen Ichiro pointed to the edge of the banquet, then took out his cell phone and walked over.

"Ah."

Watanabe You responded and turned to walk towards Kiriyama Atsushi.

"I've brought the person here for you!"

The young man who delivered the message looked at Kiriyama Atsushi and smiled.

When he came to the banquet, his father specifically told him that no matter what method he used, whether it was thick-skinned or thin-skinned, he had to leave a good impression on Kiriyama Atsushi in front of him.

If it weren't for that reminder, he wouldn't have bothered to run errands.

Usually he directs his servants to run errands.

"Thank you for your hard work." Kiriyama Jun nodded, then looked at Watanabe Yu. Before the latter could speak, he laughed and scolded, "You kid! If I didn't call you, you would pretend not to see it, right!"

"No, I just don't want to disturb your peace, Mr. Kiriyama."

Watanabe Yuu started to explain.

"Teacher?" Kiriyama Jun sighed and made a little joke, "After you won the Naoki Prize, things started to become distant, right?"

After the words fell, the young people surrounding Kiriyama Jun looked at each other for a moment, and their gazes towards Watanabe Yu also became cautious.

There are not many people who can make Kiriyama Jun joke actively, especially young people around 18 or 19 years old like them.

For a moment, the three people who were thinking particularly quickly were already thinking about how to get closer to Watanabe Yu.

Thanks to the gray suit that Watanabe Yu was wearing today, he looked older than his actual age.

"That's impossible, Grandpa Kiriyama."

Watanabe Yu quickly corrected his address.

"That's right." Kiriyama Jun nodded in satisfaction, then took a step forward and stood next to Watanabe Yuu, introducing him to the rich kids gathered around him, "This is the youngest winner of the Naoki Prize I just mentioned, the author of Norwegian Wood, Watanabe."

He knew what happened between Watanabe Yu and Amemiya Ayana.

He saw it clearly when the Naoki Prize award ceremony ended.

Judging from Watanabe Yu's current achievements, if he wants to have an open relationship with Amamiya Ayana, it is still a bit lacking. This guy still needs enough connections.

So he just helped out.

It's an investment in the future.

When he is gone and his grandson encounters problems that he cannot solve, maybe Watanabe Yuu can help Kazuma?

He could feel that Watanabe Yu was different from most of the people he had come into contact with. This person was very grateful.

"Oh!!! Mr. Watanabe! Can you give me an autograph?"

A young woman in an evening dress covered her mouth and looked at Watanabe Yu in surprise.

Her mind has always been quick.

Yes, she has not read "Norwegian Wood", but that does not prevent her from having a hardcover edition on her bookshelf, nor does it prevent her from discussing the book with her sisters in her circle.

At this moment, she exclaimed, not only to give face to Watanabe Yu, but more importantly to give face to Kiriyama Atsushi.

Being able to make friends with this old man in the industry with a bad temper means having more opportunities.

"Just call me Watanabe. As for the autograph, can it be done later? I don't have paper or pen right now."

Watanabe Yu answered the young woman's questions in an orderly manner.

As for her surprised and exaggerated expression, he didn't care at all.

Anyone who takes the flattery received in such situations seriously will get into trouble.

"Okay, anyway, don't forget it!"

The young woman blinked and said this very cooperatively.

"If you want an autograph, I want one too. Besides, now that we finally have the chance, Mr. Watanabe, who do you like better, Midori or Naoko?"

A young man who had actually watched "Norwegian Wood" also reacted, looked at Watanabe Yu, and asked this question curiously.

This is also a question discussed by many fans of "Norwegian Wood".

Although Mr. Watanabe has answered this question once or twice in public, everyone feels that his answer was given to save face for the questioner, not because he really meant it that way.

"They are all characters with very full character arcs, each with their own merits, and for me, I like them all."

Yu Watanabe gave an impeccable official answer.

Of course, this is what he really thinks.

"You all like it the same?"

The young man was still unwilling to give up. He wanted to hear the answer he wanted.

"Yes."

"I thought you would prefer Midori."

The young man sighed.

"As an author, shouldn't you like all the characters you write?"

Another young man wearing glasses also joined in the conversation.

"That's right."

The young man who initiated the topic nodded.

The atmosphere in this circle became lively after this interruption.

In this way, with the introduction of Kiriyama Jun, Watanabe Yu got a brief acquaintance with these rich kids.

Among these rich kids, some are in the oil business, some are in the electrical appliance business, and some are in the investment business. In short, there are some from all walks of life.

By the time he finished dealing with things here and finally squeezed out of the crowd and met Beichen Ichiro, more than ten minutes had passed.

Beichen Ichiro had been forced to move from the corner to another corner of the banquet.

People who knew him also gathered around him spontaneously, and started chatting with him as usual.

And he seemed to have arrived at just the right time.

It was at this point that Teppei Amemiya, a heavily made-up woman, a middle-aged man in his forties, and the Saint Lady, whom he was very familiar with, came into his sight.

A circle of people gathered around them.

The two circles maintained an extremely ambiguous distance. Obviously, both sides were having a good time, but the occasional glances at each other were full of coldness.

As if he had noticed Watanabe Yu's gaze, Teppei Amamiya squeezed out of the crowd, looked at Watanabe Yu, raised the tall glass of red wine in his hand, gestured, and then drank it all in one gulp.

He really enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention, especially when compared with Watanabe Yuu who was standing next to him, the feeling was even stronger.

Maybe he is indeed no match for Watanabe Yu in a fight, but in this situation, he is the absolute protagonist.

"Oh, President Yasuhara!"

"And his wife and daughter!"

Suddenly, the crowd became agitated.

The discussions in the two circles came to an abrupt halt, and the overt and covert confrontations also came to a temporary end. The next moment, almost everyone's eyes were focused straight ahead.

The Anyuan family came into the crowd's view.

Amemiya Masao carefully considered his words, stepped out of his circle, took the initiative to step forward, smiled, and greeted the current head of the Yasuhara family, Yasuhara Junichi.

But compared to his enthusiasm, the latter had no reaction. He was very calm. After casually responding with a few words, he went on to greet other guests.

There is no doubt that Amamiya Masao got a cold shoulder this time.

"That person is Yasuhara Junichi."

Beichen Ichiro introduced them dutifully, and then handed a glass of red wine to Watanabe Yu.

But Watanabe Yu took the red wine subconsciously, but he was stunned, and he basically didn't hear what Beichen Ichiro said.
