In August, the weather is very hot.

Koko Higashino, who came back from the crew, kept revising the book "Secret".

In order to be perfect.

To be honest, I feel very confused.

I originally wanted to make it clear to Masami and Yui, but now everyone is still young.

But then I thought that I got two kisses at the beginning of the holiday.

But there seems to be no substantial progress.

Is there any difference in relationships?

Kotoshi Higashino is really unpredictable.

He really hopes to wait a few more years.

He tried hard not to think about these things, but he still focused more on writing.

Teacher Guiwu's "Secret" is already completed, so naturally, Kuki has to treat him again.

This time it was very different.

Go and eat sashimi.

"Teacher, I have never been to this store before. This time I heard others say it's good, so I want to share it with the teacher."

"Jiumu, are you winning the lottery?"

"Haha... Of course there is no more, but I am looking forward to the teacher's work."

"I haven't finished writing before, this situation..."

"No problem! Teachers can be out of context at will, it's all good."

Kuki's attitude towards Kigo, that is, Higashino Kuro, is really respectful to the gods.

In fact, he is really looking forward to this "Secret".

Koto Higashino naturally knew about this matter.

He also doesn't want to be out of context, but as usual, he should show the manuscript to the editor.

But now.

I looked at a large pot of sashimi, including tuna, salmon, snapper, etc.

"You really won the lottery?"

"Haha...the teacher doesn't need to be polite."

This pot costs 5,000 yen, and the price is really not cheap.

With some other things, this meal will probably cost more than 20,000 yuan.

But since Hiroki is so kind, Higashino Kok is not polite.

A piece of tuna dipped in some wasabi and soy sauce.

Yes ~

Not bad, not bad.

"If the teacher likes it, please eat more."

"Jiumu, if you do this, I will think more."

"Oh? Could it be that the teacher already knows?"

"You don't mean to apologize, do you?"

As soon as these words came out, Jiu Mu's face turned upright.

"The teacher is indeed the teacher. I'm sorry for the previous incident, so please forgive me."

What exactly is this talking about?

In fact, today's meal was so rich that Higashino Qiang understood a little.

"I didn't take Naoki's story to heart."

In this sentence, Jiumu nodded and praised: "The teacher is indeed broad-minded."

That’s right, it’s because of Naoki.

His manuscript was directly rejected, and Guiwu's face was not actually damaged.

At least not many people know about this.

But this is also a bad thing.

It's absolutely right to give an apology.

In fact, the editor-in-chief Tanaka was the one who lost face.

"Kaki, it's really nothing. I just debuted and Naoki won such a high award. I should have many opportunities in the future. I'm not in a hurry at all."

Kotoshi Higashino is telling the truth.

But Kuki said, "Teacher is generous, but this matter... let's say that, Naoki Sheng is not that amazing."

Hearing this, Kokoshi Higashino wanted to laugh.

This is true. Many people in the industry are complaining about Naoki Sang’s problem.

Even Akutagawa Shou was criticized.

Naoki Awards are issued in February and August. These two months are off-season in the book market.

The prize is not much, but the advertising effect is very strong, just like a yellow robe.

It has a great effect on sales.

It's obviously suspected of hype.

Of course, this is what many industry insiders say, but even so, it is still considered the highest prize.

The Literary Revitalization Association, this title represents the national team, and the people in it are all at the top of the literary world, and there are also many active elites.

Therefore, the rewards they have awarded are absolutely unspeakable.

Generally speaking, the promotion level is more than 100,000 units.

As an insider of the literary and artistic spring and autumn, Jiumu thought that this kind of award that seemed to be the highest award from the outside world.

There are still details this time.

"Editor Tanaka personally delivered it to Mr. Watanabe Watanabe, but the reason given by Mr. Watanabe..."

"I remember the public reason given, isn't this movie timed out?"

What Kokoto Higashino said is really true.

The Naoki Prize for the first half of the year is counted as the end of May, and the second half of June is in June.

However, he also understood the details.

The half of my "Secret" was sent by editor Tanaka.

This Naoki Award was originally from the Literary Spring and Autumn Press. Now the national team has taken over, but the office is still in the Literary Spring and Autumn Press.

Then, the editor-in-chief of Literary Spring and Autumn, such a powerful figure, send a work here.

It was rejected directly.

Tanaka is the one who loses his face.

As for Tanaka, small details like time can be ignored.

So, the contradiction can be seen here.

Jiumu saw it very clearly that the people from the Literary Revitalization Association wanted to avoid interference or further expand their power.

Tanaka just wants to intervene in this award.

The editors of all generations of literary and artistic works would want to do this.

This award that was originally my own was taken away by the national team, but it was so great that the works given to my publishing house.

These information were told intermittently with one sip of wine and one sip of sashimi.

After hearing this, Kokoshi Higashino said that he didn't drink today.

An idea came up.

"Haki, do you know which movie is the popular movie of Naoki this time?" Kokoshi Higashino asked with a smile.

"Teacher, there are so many people, Wei Kawa Ei, Fujita Yinaga..." Kuki said a few names.

Higashino Qiang listened and slowly recalled who they were.

Weichuan Hui, obviously, her real name should be Huichuan Wei.
