Tokyo: The life of a literary giant begins with home self-defense!

Chapter 192 Unemployment Crisis

Being a judge for the Group Portrait Awards has already caused a lot of discussion about Ryukawa Tetsu.

He has too little experience and no systematic works. This is what everyone said about him some time ago.

Originally this matter was suppressed by the "Crying Blood Cuckoo", but the new book trailer of "I Am a Cat" pushed it to the forefront again.

This book is full of satirical art, and focuses on describing various intellectuals and literati.

Mi Ting, who is heartless and nonsensical, and only wants the world to be in chaos;
Han Yue is old-fashioned and meticulous, and a little inflexible;

Idealism, a lone immortal who has only theory but no practice;
There is also the cat's owner, who is pedantic and impatient, gets bored with things only after a short while, and is a self-righteous monk.

The literati who were originally highly sought after appeared in this form. Those literati who felt that their sore spot was touched scolded Longchuan Che to death, and the issue that Longchuan Che was not qualified to be a judge was once again brought to the table.

There was drizzle and haze, and the leaden clouds in the sky were rolling with thick lightning.

Ryukawa Toru, who was supposed to go back to school, was sitting in Takeda Maki's luxury MPV again.

"These guys are so boring."

After listening to the assistant's description, Longchuan Che pursed his lips.

"I Am a Cat" is a classic satirical literary novel.

In addition to the frustrated literati, there is also the snobbish "Big Nose" who only wants to marry off his daughter;
The capitalist Jintian, who is in the same boat with his wife and sent someone to frame Kusami after knowing that he was sarcastic and obstructing his daughter's marriage;

There was also a group of neighbors who were born poor and were motivated by money and helped the Kaneda family to mock and frame Kushami.

The novel exposes social ills with humor and satire, but the literati only see their own concerns.

"This is the right place to be." Longchuan Che said with certainty.

"You can still laugh, Teacher Longchuan."

The assistant was silent, and the girl who served as the driver looked at him with an expression that said, "How could anyone get into such a big mess like you?"

"The controversy over the group portrait appreciation has been suppressed to some extent. Why did you write "I am a Cat" at this critical moment?"

A novel put him in the spotlight. His attention was originally not so high because of the "New Haiku", but now the focus is back on Ryukawa Toru.

If it wasn't inconvenient, the assistant would really like to pry open his head to see what he was thinking.

"Isn't this just right?"

Longchuan Che was sitting in the passenger seat and glanced back through the rearview mirror.

At this time, Kodansha's managing director, Takeda Shinki, was leaning back in the leather chair with her eyes closed.

The woman looked calm and downplayed what was happening in the company.

"If they don't do it, find someone who can."

Ryuukawa Tetsu spoke with his voice raised a little.

For a large society, even invited judges cannot do this.

The two parties have a cooperative relationship, but now they are on strike due to personal emotions.

Which leader can tolerate such a thing?

'Will those unqualified people be dismissed?'

Longchuan Che couldn't help but have this thought in his mind.

Raindrops were shattered by the windshield onto the road, and the luxurious MPV stopped in front of Kodansha.

"General Manager!"

As soon as I got off the car, a large group of people stood together. They were all the relevant persons in charge of this group portrait appreciation. They welcomed Takeda Maki as she got off the car with an attitude of apologizing.

It was the first time that Longchuan Tetsu saw this woman appear in the company as a general manager.

People in black suits stood in a row, their momentum was even more exaggerated than on TV.

Ryukawa Toru watched Takeda Shinki walk in without looking away, and the young assistant followed behind her two steps behind.

"General Manager, you have worked hard."

Surrounded by middle-aged people who kept bowing and apologizing, Takeda Maki walked into Kodansha with her eyes fixed on them and pushing aside everyone.

At this point, the woman seemed to have returned to her own territory.

Long Chuan Che followed the other party and listened to the other party issuing instructions one by one. "People from the editorial department, ask them to come to my office."

"Please send a copy of the invitation contract from the legal department to my desk."

The other party seemed to be going to handle this incident personally. Longchuan Che asked curiously when those people dispersed.

"What are you going to do about it?"

In fact, Longchuan Che is happy to see this situation.

Intellectuals value their reputation, and Longchuan Che almost pointed at them and scolded them. It would be strange if those people didn't cause trouble.

“The contract should have a clause that affects the selection process and the organizer can terminate the contract at any time.”

Takeda Shinki's words made Ryukawa Toru raise his eyebrows. In the elevator leading to the office, Ryukawa Toru gave the woman a thumbs up.

"You are so decisive and swift, worthy of being called the executive officer."

In the office on the top floor, Long Chuanche looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose.

The noisy judges calmed down when they saw the senior executive, Takeda Shinki.

Except for the top writers, most authors have to rely on publishing houses for their livelihood.

As the executive director of the largest comprehensive publishing house in the country, Takeda Maki faces these judges, big and small, just like her superiors conducting inspections.

"We will not serve as judges with Ryuukawa Tetsu."

The one who spoke at this time was Ichiro Oobi. As the leader of this strike, he sneered at Ryukawa Toru who was sitting there obediently.

"He loves taking naps, and he drools all over the books he just turned over. His skin is a little yellow due to his stomach problems, but he is a glutton. After he has a full stomach, he takes gastrointestinal medicine, and after taking the medicine, he turns the pages. He falls asleep after reading two or three pages, and his saliva flows onto the books. This is his daily schedule."

Ichiro Oobi looked at the author of "I Am a Cat". The passage he just read was an excerpt of one or two sentences from Ryukawa Toru's novel.

This passage vividly depicts the image of literati who are backward, stubborn, conservative and decadent.

Natsume Soseki was well versed in the life drawing method, and his characters seemed to come alive in just a paragraph or two.

"What does Mr. Longchuan mean?"

This passage is full of irony and can be said to have vilified the image of some self-righteous literati. Everyone was already dissatisfied with Longchuan Che, and at this time their resentment almost reached its peak.

A room full of people surrounded Longchuan Che and asked him to explain, and Longchuan Che glanced at them.

The atmosphere isn't warm enough.

"It's just the fact." Ryukawa Tetsu had rosy lips and white teeth, and his smile made people feel good about him, but the judges including Oobi Ichiro were very angry with him.

"Little yellow-mouthed child."

"Bad talk."

"If Longchuan Tetsu doesn't leave, we won't continue reviewing."

A group of people were making a lot of noise, and Ryukawa Toru watched Takeda Shinki stand up with a gloomy face.

I'm coming.

Long Chuanche is very active in thinking.

He chose this time point to write "I Am a Cat" because of this situation.

Ichiro Oobi and his gang formed cliques and planned to target the works he selected during the closed selection period, so Mr. Longchuan had to use a little trick to make these writers who valued their reputation jump out on their own.

Kodansha needs judges, but it certainly doesn't need a bunch of unstable bombs.

A staff strike is the worst event anywhere, and only these intellectuals who value their reputation would do this.

Longchuan looks at the nose with his eyes, and looks at the heart with his nose.

As an honest and dutiful member of the company, he played his role with all his heart.

He watched Takeda Shinki stand up and wave to the people from the Ministry of Justice to get the contract.

Just when he thought that Takeda Shinki would tell them to get out of here together.

The Kodansha Queen looked at him and smiled.

Her smile was as bright as a rose, and it made Longchuan Che feel a little uneasy.
