After my divorce, I became a Tokyo literary giant

Chapter 54 Moving to the Saionji House
There's still a week left in September, but Aoba has already sold 20 copies.

Faced with such impressive sales data, Maki Saionji's attitude became even tougher when facing the printing factory owner.

After paying a small portion of the printing fee, the two parties quickly reached an agreement on a printing contract for 20 copies.

The contract stipulates that before October 10, the printing factory needs to deliver 1 copies of the October issue of Aoba to Aoba Publishing.

The remaining 10 copies need to be delivered before October 10.

The printing factory has been completely controlled by Maki Saionji, and the landlord who coveted her last time has never appeared again.

This put the Queen in a particularly good mood.

On the way back to the company, she was sitting in the back seat, not knowing what she was thinking about, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The sunlight fell down, sparkling on her high nose bridge, which was a particularly beautiful scene.

From the rearview mirror, Tazaki Saku could appreciate her smile.

To be honest, she is really beautiful. Her face is more beautiful than any other woman's...

If she didn't have such a bad temper, it wouldn't be impossible for him to get along well with her. After all, he now owns 30% of Qingye Society's shares, and apart from their master-servant relationship, they are also people in the same boat.

The entire book of "A Wild Sheep Chase" has 14 words.

All 14 words will be published at once in the October issue of Aoba.

This is actually not in line with industry practice.

According to the normal book publishing process, the book should be serialized in a magazine in chapters first. When it is nearing the end, the magazine serialization should be suspended and a single volume should be published, so that readers who want to know the ending can buy the single volume.

For publishers, this process can maximize magazine sales.

For the author, keeping the suspense at the end can also maximize the profits of the single volume.

Publishing an entire novel in a magazine at once will definitely have an impact on the sales of the single volume.

This is actually a helpless move forced by the current environment.

After all, Aobasha really doesn't have many contracted writers, and the content produced every month can't even fill an entire magazine.

Putting the full text of "Sheep Chasing" online at once can be regarded as a commercial operation by Tazaki to revitalize the reputation of "Aoba" by sacrificing a small part of the revenue from the single volume.

Just like fishing requires bait, businesses cannot be short-sighted and unwilling to give up small profits.

Since September, through Professor Fujimiya's introduction, Tazaki Saku has met many reformist writers.

Most reformist writers are young people.

They are all waiting and watching.

If "Aoba" can continue to sell well in October, then they will have the confidence to submit their works to Aoba Publishing House.

With Mishima as the leader of the faction, and assisted by a group of young talents, this is the key to the resurgence of Aoba Society.

As long as the Aoba Society grows stronger, Tazaki Sakuya can transform himself into an evil capitalist.

In Japan's capitalist society, the high status of writers, lawyers, and doctors is only relative. Only capitalists are the absolute superiors.

Of course, this is currently just Tazaki's own plan.

The Queen in the back seat was still unaware of this.

So, when the Queen noticed him looking at her in the rearview mirror and seemed to be thinking about something, she subconsciously thought that he was thinking of some weird trick to torture her again, and her expression immediately turned cold.

In response to his gaze, she looked at him with disgust, as if he was looking at a cockroach.

Tazaki Saku: “…”

To be honest, it's quite unpleasant.

Saionji Maki was a typical old-world woman, with deep-rooted prejudice and contempt for country folk like him. In her eyes, he was probably no different from a cockroach...

Tazaki Saku certainly understood this.

But the clearer it became, the more interested he became in torturing her...

Is this the desire to conquer?
maybe.

Eh……

Tazaki Saku suddenly thought of something.

He had originally planned to move out once he got his royalties.

Now that I think about it, why not move to the Saionji family?
There is a free big villa, and you can also train the queen intensively every day. Isn’t this the best of both worlds?

As soon as he said he would move, Tazaki Saku turned the car around.

The second-hand Camry drove towards the triangle area.

"Where are you going?" Maki Saionji quickly discovered that the route had deviated.

"Go home." Tazaki replied.

"Eh?"

Saionji Maki was stunned.

"I'm moving," Tazaki Saku added.

"Where to move to?" Saionji Maki asked subconsciously. "We are a family, where else can I move to?" Tazaki Saku asked with a half-smile.

Upon hearing this, Saionji Maki frowned and said in a cold and ruthless voice: "Tazaki Saku, let me tell you, the door of the Saionji family will never be open to you!"

"Okay, then I won't move."

"Eh?"

Saionji Maki was stunned again.

It seemed a little hard to believe that this guy could be so easy to talk to.

"Where I live now, I'm disturbed by the noise of trams from morning to night, which seriously affects my rest and thinking. If I can't write a good work after the Youth Trilogy, you can't blame me." Tazaki Saku said slowly.

"..."

The corner of Saionji Maki's eye twitched.

It was a threat, a naked threat, but she had to accept it.

"I'll help you find..."

"I'm not going anywhere except the Saionji household."

"..." Saionji Maki took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and said heavily: "Okay!"

You can see that she is very angry now.

If possible, she would tear this guy to pieces right away.

The old Camry drove into the triangle area and stopped in front of the apartment building.

As soon as the door opened, a smell wafted out.

"Ah—it stinks." Saionji Maki covered her nose, "This place is disgusting."

There is actually no bad smell.

The reason why she felt it was smelly was that she believed deep down that the smell of this cheap apartment must be smelly.

Tazaki Saku was too lazy to care about her and packed his luggage by himself.

I didn't have much luggage and didn't need electrical appliances or furniture, so I packed my things into a few boxes.

As he squatted on the ground packing the combat uniforms left by Ryoko, Saionji Maki folded her arms and looked at the various clothes in the box, her tone extremely contemptuous: "He hides so many obscene clothes, he is indeed a vulgar man."

"They were all bought by Ryoko." Tazaki Saku said calmly.

"...Sure enough, Ryoko shouldn't have married you. You must have threatened her into buying it!"

As always, she still believed that her sister was wrong to marry him and blamed him.

Since they were already divorced, Tazaki Saku had no interest in discussing the right or wrong of this matter with her.

After packing up some small toys and looking at the tail with a bell lying in the box, he suddenly thought: Both of his younger sisters have inserted this tail, so it would be a bit unreasonable for her, as the eldest sister, not to do so?
Well, it’s decided.

Find an opportunity to let the eldest sister join in.

As he began to pack the books, Saionji Maki spoke again, looking puzzled: "You usually read professional reference books, so how did you write a youth trilogy?"

Tazaki Saku was too lazy to answer.

Becoming a writer was an accident. His original plan was to become an IT guy after graduating from university.

He has been working on this plan for more than ten years.

I received offers from several internet companies right after graduating from university.
If it weren't for Ryoko and the system, he would at least be a rising star in the workplace with an annual income of 500 million yen.

Pack up your things and move them all into the car.

Tazaki Saku stood in the open area and looked up at the apartment building.

Five years ago, when he had just started college, he and Ryoko rented this place with the money he saved from working part-time and had a real home in Tokyo for the first time.

At that time, he had no money and his life was very simple.

Sunshine is free and life is worth looking forward to.

Five years later, he left alone with a few boxes of luggage.

Perhaps many, many years from now, whenever we hear the word "poverty", we will think of this triangle area.

I wonder if there is a young couple living here who are poor but have dreams for the future?

"call-"

Tazaki Saku breathed a sigh of relief and calmed himself down.

Driving away from here, heading west towards the setting sun, my mood is like the clear sky illuminated by the sunset, with light wind and clear clouds.

I had something to do today and got home very late.

I only have time to code this chapter.
