After my divorce, I became a Tokyo literary giant

Chapter 58: Maki adapts to her maid role

The sky in Tokyo in autumn is so blue that it is almost dazzling.

Tazaki Saku typed out the entire text of "Norwegian Wood" and took his hands off the keyboard to rest.

After the youth trilogy became famous, Murakami's best-selling novel had to be put on the bookshelves for sale.

By then, maybe I can contact Kujo Sakurako to discuss film and television adaptation...

Speaking of the eldest daughter of the Kujo family, she's been trying to find ways to invite Tadaki Saku to her company lately, trying to play with him right under Ryoko's nose. What a perverted woman...

After being fooled twice, Tazaki Saku no longer fell for her tricks.

Sometimes, for this kind of woman, you have to whet her appetite so that she will look forward to and cherish the next meeting with you...

Taking his eyes off the computer screen, Tazaki Saku leaned back in his chair and looked out the window at the sunlight.

Not far away is the sun-drenched Nishi-Shinjuku CBD, and the glass curtain wall reflecting the sky is as blue as if it were painted with a brush.

Gazing at the silent sky, I seemed to hear her breathing filled with pleasure... It was really wrong to think about such pornographic things on such a peaceful and sunny autumn day.

Tazaki Saku shook his head, thinking that having a high status was indeed a benefit.

If he were still an ordinary employee, he would be busy from morning till night and would have no time to think about women...

In fact, as the end of the month approached, the number of times sales department employees went out on field trips increased significantly.

After all, it is essentially sales.

Contact bookstores and distributors, confirm book inventory, collect sales data, and adjust the schedules of various exhibitions...

It's only because Tazaki Saku is now half a boss that he doesn't have to do the work of an ordinary employee.

Of course, in the eyes of ordinary employees, he received this preferential treatment because he was kept by the queen.

After gazing at the scenery outside the window for a while, Tazaki Saku stretched comfortably. When he was about to get up and slip into the president's office, he heard imposing footsteps from the door.

"Next Saturday, 'Winners Are More Negative' will be a special episode on the TV station's noontime show. Please quickly prepare the plan for me. Oh, and let's have a small meeting to discuss it..."

Maki Saionji walked into the sales department office while talking to the sales manager.

She was carrying a handbag.

As I walked over, the clear sound of bells kept ringing.

Even with her tail between her legs, she still appeared so noble and cool on the surface.

The tight-fitting OL uniform shows off her plump figure perfectly. As she walks, a hint of snow-white absolute area is revealed between the black garter stockings and the tight skirt.

She wore a pair of black patent leather high heels, which made her already tall figure look even more oppressive.

Just looking at the appearance, she still has such a strong aura.

but……

Careful people can still notice something amiss with her today.

Compared to the same time when she held her head high and was full of momentum, today her steps were not as smooth as before because of her small feet in high heels.

It's normal.

After all, it’s my first time wearing a tail.

Taki's eyes turned towards her, and when she noticed, her gaze shifted away with an obvious awkwardness.

Feeling a little shy...

This kind of feminine shyness makes people want to take off her clothes and watch her beg for mercy.

After entering the sales office, Saionji Maki came over to Tazaki Saku, coughed lightly, and waited for all the employees to look over before saying, "Everyone, come over for a small meeting."

Then, Tazaki Saku stood up.

Saionji Maki glanced at him and sat in his seat.

As the buttocks pressed down, the bottom of the tail seemed to go in a little bit more...

After all the employees gathered around, the Queen folded her legs together in front of her.

The tight black silk legs revealed under the skirt have beautiful lines.

Sitting sideways, she spoke in a cold voice, "Two books will be promoted on TV next Saturday, but I feel that the effectiveness of TV promotion is no longer as great as before. Our promotional funds are limited at the moment, so we can only concentrate them on one medium. Let's discuss whether it is necessary to appear on TV again..."

After hearing what the boss said, there was silence for a few seconds, and then the sales department manager spoke first.

"I heard that young couples nowadays don't buy TVs anymore. For newly formed families, a computer is enough."

The minister took the lead and the employees below followed suit.

"Many of my friends don't buy TVs on purpose, and I don't have one at home..." said a young employee first.

"Wow, is this how things are these days?" an older male employee expressed his incomprehension.

"Well, that's it." The young employee nodded.

"People our age wouldn't be able to calm down if we didn't have a TV at home," the uncle said. He looked at Tadaki Saku and asked, as if seeking his approval, "Takaki-kun, what do you think? As a man, do you feel that you can't live without a TV at home?"

"I basically don't watch it." Tazaki Saku answered quickly.

"Ah~" the uncle looked disappointed.

Listening to these discussions, Saionji Maki's eyes were solemn, and her voice was stern and low. "Regarding the promotional effects of appearing on TV programs and advertising on TV, it seems that we should re-examine them. The company is still using the experience of checking data from a few years ago, but these things are changing with each passing day, and we have to keep up with the development of the times..."

She is quite capable in business.

The publishing industry is currently polarized, with the strong getting stronger and the weak going out of business.

As a small company, Aobasha had no time to hesitate. After a small meeting with a few people, the president decided to give up all TV promotions and instead use all the publicity budget on the Internet and offline bookstores.

After the meeting, it was almost twelve o'clock.

"Tazaki-kun, come to my office for a moment." Maki Saionji stood up.

Just as he was about to return to the office, the sales department manager said, "President, the sales department is having a group dinner tonight after get off work. I wonder if you're free to join us..."

The minister asked casually.

The Queen never participated in employee team-building activities before.

Maki Saionji opened her mouth and was about to refuse, but Tazaki Saku spoke first.

"She's going tonight too."

Queen:"……"

Everyone in the sales department: "..."

On the way back to the office, Maki Saionji was angry and walked quickly.

Of course she knew that Tazaki Saku asked her to participate in the team building probably to play a trick on her in front of the employees.

This stinky man only cares about his own pleasure all day long, without considering whether she can accept it or not. It's really disgusting...

Tazaki Saku followed her all the way, his eyes occasionally glancing at her hips wrapped in a tight black skirt. Perhaps because she was trying to keep her tail between her legs, she couldn't help but pull her legs inwards as she walked. Her figure was naturally sexy and curvaceous.

When she walked with her buttocks swaying like this, coupled with her noble and cold face, she was extremely seductive.

Just looking at her back makes me feel so good. If I really see her body, what kind of breathtaking beauty will it be?

Just thinking about it, her breath that made me dream seemed to ring in my ears again...

Tazaki Saku quickly shook his head and stopped thinking about these messy things.

"Ding Ling Dang Cang~"

The bells rang all the way.

After entering the office, Maki Saionji vented her anger by pulling the screen with a loud bang, and then went to the back to change her clothes.

Tazaki Saku took her seat, turned the chair around, and sat in front of the window.

It was a warm, clear, and windless noon outside.

The dazzling sunlight shone into his eyes, causing Tazaki Saku to sneeze and his eyes to become slightly moist.

At noon, many male and female employees go out to the streets of Shinjuku to look for food.

In the beautiful translucent sunlight, the office ladies walked in the sunlight with their chests puffed out, carrying the pride embedded in the urban style paintings.

Fresh air, plenty of sunlight, it's all wonderful.

As he watched, his facial expression relaxed...

A rare leisure time in autumn.

A moment later, the screen opened and Saionji Maki, who had changed into a maid outfit, walked out with a stunned look in her eyes.

The sunlight coming in from the window drew a line in front of the window, clearly separating the light and the dark.

The young man leaned back in his boss chair, staring blankly into the distance...

Half of him is in the light, and half in the dark.

On the bright side, the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling; on the dark side, his eyes were gloomy and sharp.

This scene deeply shocked Maki Saionji.

In her opinion, this light and dark side represents the black and white sides of his heart.

That side of Ming was just like the first time she saw him eight years ago, and it hadn't changed at all until now...

That side has the shining, awe-inspiring and inviolable pride of a boy, the simplicity and restraint when facing an older woman who can be called a goddess, and the cuteness of scratching his head when nervous...

This dark side is who he is today.

That radiant young man seemed to have been eroded by anxiety and dark disillusionment, and then rotted away. His face always looked tense, but his silence never betrayed the slightest hint of fatigue or slackness...

"Tazaki..."

Saionji Maki shouted.

Unexpectedly, the voice was somewhat gentle...

Perhaps, for the first time, she realized that the transformation between light and darkness was partly due to her...

Hearing the sound, Tazaki Saku turned around.

Looking at Saionji Maki who had changed into a maid outfit, he didn't say anything, his backlit face looking calm and composed.

"I……"

Maki Saionji opened her mouth, and suddenly her throat felt a little blocked.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly. After trying for a moment, she finally had nothing to say. Finally, she lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands, bent her knees slightly, and maintained the etiquette of a maid. She called out respectfully, "Master, there is something I need to report."

"What?" Tazaki Saku asked.

Maki Saionji picked up the Yomiuri Shimbun from the table and opened the literature section to show him.

That old fellow Natsuki Ikezawa has written another article in his column criticizing Mishima and his two books, "Hear the Wind Sing" and "Pinball in 1973".

The column was well-written. Instead of directly criticizing Mishima at the beginning, he first gave some praise to Mishima's approach of seeking innovation and expressed his appreciation for some of his writing techniques.

Then comes the change of tone.

Natsuki Ikezawa felt that Mishima's ungrateful behavior of trying to gain traffic by criticizing and slandering the publishing house that was willing to sign his debut work was too shameless.

If books by people like Mishima are still allowed to sell well, it would be a disgrace to literature.

This trick of shifting concepts is very clever. It is obvious that there is a shady deal in the group portrait appreciation, but it does not mention a word about it. Instead, it scolds Mishima who exposed the shady deal to protect his own rights. His intention is extremely sinister!
In addition, Kodansha also bought press releases everywhere to whitewash this group portrait award.

Before long, the negative information about the Group Portrait Award will disappear from the internet. By then, people who don't know what happened will see the news reports made by Kodansha's online trolls and will definitely think that Mishima is a terrible person...

"It's great to be rich. You can treat famous writers like dogs at any time." Tazaki Saku said with emotion.

"While they are slandering you, they are promoting Yomiuri Okamoto's "Afterimage" extensively. If the sales of "Aoba" are not good next month, it will have a great impact on you..." Saionji Maki said worriedly.

"For something like this, the only way to prove it is by sales volume." Tazaki Saku returned the newspaper to her.

The publishing industry is divided into two parts: the literary world and the business world.

The literary world is a place for verbal battles, and even if you lose, you can still argue stubbornly.

But it’s different in the shopping mall. If one book is sold, it’s one book. If 1 books are 1 books, the cold hard numbers won’t lie.

As long as you win in sales, it is just.

No one can question you.

In this regard, Tazaki Saku still has some confidence.

In terms of sales, Murakami's works will not disappoint.

"Go make me a cup of coffee." Tazaki Saku ordered, took off his suit jacket and stretched his body a few times.

The aroma of coffee soon wafted through the room, which was bathed in autumn sunshine. Maki Saionji's eyes were fixed on Saku Tazaki.

Through his shirt, one could almost see the bulge of his muscles, the front of his shirt bulging wide and large, his chest muscles seemingly about to push open the buttons on his chest...

"When did you develop these muscles?" Maki Saionji asked curiously.

"When I first entered high school, a girl in my class called me a country bumpkin and a skinny little monkey. I started practicing from then on..." Tazaki Saku said, sitting back in the boss chair with his legs spread out.

Maki Saionji looked at him, walked over with a cup of coffee, and sat obediently on one of his laps.

Her butt is big and elastic.

As soon as she sat down, the plump and fat buttocks automatically overflowed to the sides of her thighs.

"Master, coffee..."
