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

Chapter 193 Unemployment Crisis

"Humph, you little brat."

"Humph, you are just talking nonsense."

The judges, who had prepared themselves to be fired on the spot by Kodansha, were arrogant. They passed by Ryukawa Toru one by one, leaving Ryukawa Toru a little dumbfounded.

All the rebels were pardoned, but I, a loyal minister, was killed.

"Isn't Kodansha unreasonable?"

Ryukawa Toru looked at Takeda Shinki sitting on the chair with this look.

Having dealt with the turmoil in her own kingdom at this time, the queen of Kodansha leaned lazily in her chair.

The rain in the sky slowly stopped and the sun pierced through the dark clouds.

The woman's eyes were narrow and long, and her fingers tapped lightly on the table.

"You are taking revenge!"

Longchuan Che was furious. The person he wanted to drive away was alive and well, so he closed the business for rectification.

"What can I do to retaliate against you?"

The woman slowly stirred the coffee cup with a silver spoon. She hardly ate anything in the morning, so a cup of black coffee was enough for her.

"Your revenge on me for rejecting you failed."

Longchuan Tetsu shouted loudly, and the employee who had not yet walked out of the door was stunned for a moment and smiled subtly, "Is this something I can hear?"

"Shut up!"

Takeda Shinki was angry. She had never seen Ryukawa Toru so shameless.

Long Chuan Che dodged the flying spoon and smacked his lips, feeling a little headache.

He is the one who said that stealing the chicken but losing the rice is the same.

Not only did the person who wanted to be kicked out not get kicked out, but he also received a notice that the review work would be suspended.

The work of manuscript selection and judging is separate.

To be honest, Kodansha can also select the articles itself, but this is an opportunity for the judges to increase their influence.

The judges who selected the winning works could almost be given the title of Bole, but today, Ryukawa Tetsu was deprived of the ability to select manuscripts.

Longchuan Che was very angry.

"Is there no democracy in this company? They are the ones causing trouble."

Longchuan Che sat there and spoke righteously, never mentioning that he had deliberately provoked the dispute.

It is almost a consensus that writers look down on each other. Ryukawa Toru guessed that when he wrote "I Am a Cat" there would be such an excited scene, but he did not expect that Takeda Maki would kill him with a knife.

"I am a businessman, a capitalist in your eyes. Who would agree with you on democracy?"

The executive officer gave Longchuan Che a smile that said, "You are not a child anymore, you should know the dark side of society."

"The closed selection will start in about two weeks, so it will definitely be too late to make a temporary replacement."

I don't know whether this is to appease or to strike a blow against Longchuan Che's pettiness.

Takeda Maki took a sip of coffee.

"Anyway, you just want the title of a judge. It doesn't matter to you whether the manuscript is selected or not."

How could there be no difference? I even want to select two more “New Sensationalist” manuscripts to be shortlisted.

"I object. I propose to kick Xiaowei Yilang and others out of the judging panel. Otherwise, I..."

"How are you?"

Takeda Maki narrowed her eyes at the man who was deliberately causing trouble.

"Kodansha invited you to come to work, not to intensify internal conflicts."

Long Chuan Che took a breath of cold air.

This woman really saw through it. The elder sister is much more difficult to deal with than the younger sister.

If my wife were here, she would have been fooled a long time ago.

Ryukawa Toru started to miss that stupid woman who was promoting her new book in Hokkaido.

Ryukawa Toru was holding his face and suddenly became absent-minded. Takeda Shinki glanced at him.

"I'm a businessman, Ryukawa Tetsu."

The woman sipped the bitter coffee with a playful look in her eyes.

"Although Oo Ichiro and his team are less capable, they are the guarantee of the credibility of this group portrait award."

The woman stood up and walked to the sofa where Longchuan Che was sitting.

"Why should I choose you over them?" The woman rubbed the other person's chin with her fingertips as if teasing a kitten.

“So it’s still a question of authority and credibility, right?”

Longchuan Che pushed the other person's hand away. This woman was used to being strong and was teasing him like a little animal.

The selection was about to begin, and Takeda Shinki was unwilling to change people, so Ryukawa Toru, who had relatively less authority, was deprived of the power to select manuscripts, as a small appeasement to the other judges.

"Ah."

All Takeda Shinki wanted was to get through this group portrait viewing safely. The woman picked up the black coffee and took a sip.

"Why don't you drink the coffee I bought you?"

The woman held the white porcelain cup and looked at the table, where the white shopping bag that Longchuan Che was carrying was still there, with the croissant inside, but the black coffee was untouched.

"too bitter."

Thinking about how to make his boss admit his mistake, Longchuan Che answered casually.

The woman's furrowed brows expressed her dissatisfaction and she spoke in a commanding tone.

"I like this concentration. You adapt as soon as possible."

What does it have to do with me whether you like it or not? Longchuan Che looked strange and stood up.

"Are there any big events in Haiku recently?"

Longchuan Che, who was already semi-unemployed, asked curiously.

Because of the subscription to haiku magazines, Kodansha has also recently been organizing some cultural activities with the Haiku Association.

The haiku writing competition in school was just a small-scale event, but Ryukawa Tetsu remembered that there were big moves in the poetry and haiku competition.

"Why do you ask this?"

There has indeed been a highly watched poetry event recently, and Takeda Maki returned to her desk with a little curiosity.

Not allowing Longchuan Che to review the manuscript is both a way of appeasement and a warning. What she wants is an obedient employee, not someone like Longchuan Che who plays tricks.

"perhaps…"

Longchuan Che knocked his head.

"You want the executive to invite me back to review the manuscript."

Takeda Shinki was stunned for a moment, then walked back to Ryukawa Toru's side.

"Did you fall asleep?"

At this point, Takeda Maki is no longer opposed to contacting Ryukawa Toru.

She placed two fingers on the top of Longchuan Che's head and gave a charming smile.

"Let me treat you? You can't do anything without me as a group portrait?"

The executive lady's smile was very subtle. She didn't even take the judges of the group portrait appreciation seriously. She would have to go back on her word unless the project was unable to operate like it was today.

The woman's smile was very provocative. Longchuan Che pinched her hand and stood up.

This woman, Takeda Maki, is both a cat and a leopard.

She would show her soft side when she was helpless, but most of the time she was strong and domineering.

She is an unreasonable woman and also a woman who insists on her own way.

When her hand was grabbed by Ryukawa Toru, Takeda Shinki was stunned at first, then sneered.

The other party pressed her on the sofa like last night, but today the executive master was not afraid of him at all.

"Why? You're angry because your little trick failed."

Curled up on the black sofa, the executive's skin was shiny white.

She looked through her collar at the teeth marks on Longchuan Tetsu's shoulder.

It was a small mark she left last night.

"If the group portrait award is not given, I can definitely do it."

With his hands on both sides of the other person's body, Longchuan raised his eyebrows.

"But if your principle of doing things is to maximize profits, you will definitely come back to invite me."

The authority of Ryukawa Toru alone could not compare to the sneers of those seven or eight judges and Takeda Maki.

“You have to be able to…”

Lying under Ryukawa Toru's body, the queen of Kodansha pursed her lips.

"I'll just put the tail on myself."
