As Jiang Jing had warned her, the final result was exactly what she found out: someone had tampered with her car's brakes in a very discreet way. At the same time, she also noticed a detail.
That was the car door that Jiang Jing violently ripped off.
After Yukinoshita asked her indirectly how much force it would take to tear off the door of her modified vehicle, Yukinoshita, who was also an heir of a large family and knew some things about the supernatural world, had a vague guess.
However, she didn't tell anyone about these things, and she didn't even publicize the brake problem.
Looking at the young man who was the center of everyone's attention below, Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes showed an even stronger interest.
Jiang Jing, who seemed like a completely different person today, also made Uemura Yuriko pause in her tracks. Then, her eyes lit up and she smiled, saying, "Kanda-sensei, you've come."
“Editor Uemura, no, I should call you Vice President Uemura now.” Jiang Jing smiled slightly, then looked at Uemura Yuriko with an appreciative gaze.
Among the people Jiang Jing met during the time he was awake, Yuriko Uemura's looks and figure were among the best; she would score 90 out of 100.
She's only slightly less attractive than Mashiro (95 points), and her appearance is similar to Akeno Rias Island, but her figure is slightly inferior to the two demons.
Of course, there are also a few women who no longer belong to the mortal realm.
Once physical appearance reaches a certain point, there isn't much difference between people; what matters more is the difference in temperament and the quality of one's life essence.
Yuriko Uemura smiled slightly: "But I still think it sounds better if you call me Editor Uemura, Kanda-sensei."
After saying that, Yuriko Uemura looked at Kaguya Shinomiya and the others: "Kaguya, could you please bring Kanda-sensei and the others along?"
Kaguya Shinomiya wore a polite smile typical of people from large families on her cool face: "No need to be so polite, cousin. Although I am just an intern assistant, I am still a member of the company."
Since Kaguya Shinomiya said so, Yuriko Uemura didn't say anything more polite: "Then, Kanda-sensei, let's go up first."
Jiang Jing nodded, then turned to Shiina Mashiro, who was quietly watching Uemura Yuriko: "Let's go, Mashiro."
However, at that moment, under the astonished gazes of many people, Yuriko Uemura stepped forward and took Jiang Jing's left arm, then looked at Jiang Jing with a very natural smile, which was just a normal social etiquette.
"Please, Mr. Kanda."
Since everyone else was being so generous, Jiang Jing naturally didn't feel awkward. He nodded and walked side by side with Uemura Yuriko towards the hotel.
Behind them was Shiina Mashiro, expressionless, her gaze fixed on where Uemura Yuriko was holding Jiang Jing's hand. Then came the astonished Shinomiya Kaguya and the curious Fujiwara Chika.
In Kaguya Shinomiya's memories, her cousin, who had an ordinary childhood and later returned to the Kamimura family, was known for her coldness and strictness from the time she entered junior high school.
Then came girls' high school, girls' university, and it was only after graduating and starting work at a paperback station that her personality softened a little, but I never heard of her showing any affection for that man, let alone taking his arm.
Although Kaguya Shinomiya acknowledged that Jiang Jing was outstanding today and a well-known novelist, to people from top families like theirs, he was just a novelist.
Looking at the backs of the two people in front of her, Kaguya Shinomiya felt a little curious for the first time about this classmate who was a year older than her and still in high school.
"Today's banquet is divided into two parts. The first part is for everyone to sit in the banquet hall and relax, enjoying the performances and the food specially prepared by the hotel."
"Then comes the main purpose of most of the guests tonight: to appreciate the works in the exhibition area on the second floor and to communicate with novelists and cartoonists who are of interest."
"At the same time, a dance party and tea party, as well as a buffet area, are prepared on the third floor for everyone to move around and socialize freely."
Holding Jiang Jing's arm, Yuriko Uemura softly explained to Jiang Jing and the three behind him, "Let me take you all into the venue first, and introduce you to some top writers and company directors and editors-in-chief."
"Uh... forget about these. I only came here with Zhenbai today, and I'm not interested in those things." Jiang Jing shook his head and refused, showing no interest in these things.
"Is that so? Well, Kanda-sensei's personality is still as calm as ever." Uemura Yuriko smiled slightly, nodded, and didn't bring up the topic again.
At this moment, the group also walked up the steps and saw from afar that the hotel's main hall, which was as spacious as a large hall, was bustling with activity. They also saw Ayano Iida hurrying out of it.
"Mashiro, Kanda-sensei, you're here, Vice President Uemura," Ayano Iida greeted them warmly.
“Vice President Uemura, I’ll take Kanda-sensei and Mashiro over there. Their seats are arranged together.”
"No need, I..."
Just as Yuriko Uemura was about to refuse Ayano Iida and personally lead Eiji and the others over, a luxury convoy led by a dark gold sedan drove up from behind the hotel gate.
"Brother, why is he here?" Yuriko Uemura frowned.
"Alright, I'll leave it to you, Editor Iida."
Then, Yuriko Uemura looked apologetically at Jiang Jing and said, "I'm sorry, Kanda-sensei, I have to go downstairs to pick up a few people. I'll come back to talk to you later about the copyright development of Toradora!"
Jiang Jing smiled slightly and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, you go ahead with your work."
I'm sorry.
Yuriko Uemura released Jiang Jing's hand and said to Kaguya Shinomiya, "Kaguya, you know your place, right? You're in the staff area. I'm not going to worry about you anymore." Then she walked towards the door.
"I know." Kaguya Shinomiya nodded, then nodded to Jiang Jing and the others, before pulling the still-reluctant Chika Fujiwara in another direction.
After everyone left, Ayano Iida looked at Jiang Jing in surprise: "Kanda-sensei, I almost didn't recognize you dressed like that."
Jiang Jing smiled and said, "Is it because I'm too handsome?"
"It's not just that you're too handsome, it's that your handsomeness is beyond description. If I were ten years younger, I would definitely be captivated by you, Kanda-sensei." After saying that, the very outgoing editor took Shiina Mashiro's hand.
"Kanda-sensei, Mashiro, let me take you there."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
"Today's banquet venue is divided into two areas. One area is full of writers, cartoonists, and colleagues invited by other companies. They are all gathered together to facilitate communication and getting to know each other."
"The other area is for our company staff and their families, as well as people from all walks of life who are related to the company and come to the banquet, and some special guests."
With that, Ayano Iida led Eiji and the other two to the left, in the opposite direction from Kaguya Shinomiya and the other two.
In the writers' area, at the middle table in the first row closest to the banquet stage, Izumi Masamune, who had already arrived, sat somewhat nervously with Senju Muramasa, their eyes fixed on the empty seat across the table.
In front of that seat was a plaque that read "Author: Shen Tian".
It wasn't just Izumi Masamune; people at the surrounding tables also kept glancing over.
"Senju, do you think that Master Shinten is really a middle-aged man like the legends say?" Izumi Masamune, only fifteen years old, wore an ill-fitting suit and his childish face showed curiosity.
"I don't know," Senju Muramasa said coldly.
The short-haired girl wasn't interested in any gods or other people. She came today because Yamada Elf said there were many beautiful women at the banquet, and she was a little worried, so she came along.
Although rejected by Izumi Masamune, Senju Muramasa's heart was rekindled with hope after learning that he loved her younger sister. She wanted to use her burning feelings to pull Izumi Masamune back from his misguided path.
"Hmph! What, are you curious about that 'God of Heaven' too, woman?" Eriri looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha provocatively from two tables away in the third row.
Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced disdainfully at the blonde girl and said unhurriedly, "Of course, that's the author who wrote one of the most popular campus romance novels online, so of course I'm curious about him."
"The ceiling! It's only published three volumes. Although I admit it's very well written, it doesn't deserve this title," Eriri said with some doubt.
The ceiling of an industry series—this title isn't something anyone can claim, and Eriri, being in the industry, understands the weight it represents.
Although she also really liked the Dragon and Tiger manga, it was only the third volume so far, and she wasn't qualified to receive such an honor yet.
"So it's just an online nickname, and that's not important. What's important is why you're sitting next to me again." Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Eriri with great displeasure.
"There was no other way, there were too many people today, and the seats were a bit crowded, so I asked someone from the company to help me move." Eriri was very happy that Kasumigaoka Utaha was unhappy, even though she didn't like sitting with this rival either.
"Nozaki-kun, do I look a little out of place dressed like this?" Sakura Chiyo, a petite orange-haired girl, asked the tall, rugged-looking boy next to her, pointing to her white pleated skirt.
The somewhat slow-witted Nozaki Umetarou glanced at the girl's clothes but paid no attention to her. He nodded and said, "No problem, Sakura, your outfit is very appropriate for the occasion today."
"Is it really alright for us to sit here like this? We're not writers or cartoonists." At the middle table in the second row, Akiyama Mio, with her long black hair and wearing a black dress, looked somewhat restrained and uneasy.
Although they followed Kotobuki Tsumugi into the banquet, they were arranged to sit in the opposite area, which greatly disappointed Ritsu and Yui, who thought they could see him up close and even ask him for an autograph.
Then Kotobuki Tsumugi left for a while, and no one knows who she went to see, but their seats were arranged here.
Unlike Ritsu Tainaka and Yui Hirasawa, who were already excitedly looking at the familiar authors and manga artists around them, Mio Akiyama knew that they were just ordinary high school students.
What if someone greets them and they give themselves away during their introductions? Will they be asked to bring the people who brought them? It's a difficult situation.
Seeing the excited and bright smiles on the faces of Ritsu Tainaka and Yui Hirasawa, Tsumugi Kotobuki turned around and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mio, it's okay."
"By the way, Mio, is there anyone you want to get an autograph from? You can get to know them now, and then you can go and ask them for autographs after the first free time at the banquet."
"Haha...?? I can already see Shen Tian's seat. I'm going to ask him for six autographs later. I brought all the books." Hirasawa Yui said, cupping her face and squinting her eyes with a happy expression, looking like she was already lost in her fantasies.
"Six? How come there are so many only ones?" Akiyama Mio asked curiously.
"Not many. If you sign the first, second, and third volumes, that's three. Add the one I promised Yu, and that makes six in total," Hirasawa Yui said, holding up three fingers.
"Hehe... Only six? I want twenty, no, I want him to sign this notebook for me." Ritsu Tainaka took out a brand new notebook from his backpack, his eyes already turning into the shape of a dollar sign.
Seeing Ritsu Tainaka's greedy look, Mio Akiyama couldn't help but scold her, "How can you do this, especially Ritsu? Be careful not to offend him."
"Oh, no way, it's only six books. I heard that the authors are very happy when fans ask them for autographs," Hirasawa Yui said nonchalantly.
“Yeah, I also think he would be happy if fans asked him for an autograph, so why would he be annoyed?” Ritsu Tainaka said, also unconvinced.
“But how can you fill an entire notebook with signatures?” Akiyama Mio frowned as she looked at the notebook in Tainaka Ritsu’s hand.
"By the way, Mio, do you want to get his autograph later? Didn't you say you really like this work?" Kotobuki Tsumugi asked curiously, her hands clasped together.
“…Yes.” Akiyama Mio hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
The blonde heiress blinked, then leaned closer, even more curious: "Mio, where are you planning to have him sign in? In the book?"
"No, I want him to sign this." Akiyama Mio took out several pretty double-sided sticky notes, the kind that can be stuck on backpacks or items.
However, in terms of quantity, it seems like there would be quite a lot if everyone signed.
"Wow... Yui, look! That guy is so handsome!" Ritsu Tainaka suddenly exclaimed, putting her arm around Yui Hirasawa's shoulder and pointing at the three people, Jiang Jing and his companions, who were walking towards them from a distance.
"Wow...it really is! He's even more handsome than those big stars." As an ordinary girl who loves reading novels and having a vivid imagination, Hirasawa Yui's eyes lit up as she looked into the distance, just like Ritsu's.
"Hey...you two, that's enough." Akiyama Mio quickly stopped the two agitated people, while also apologizing to the several middle-aged men next to her who were frowning.
"I've never seen anyone so handsome before, Mio, sob... I wish he could be my boyfriend." Ritsu Tainaka looked like a lovesick fool.
"Boyfriend? Isn't that what you call hanging on the wall?" Hirasawa Yui asked, puzzled.
"Hang it on the wall? Why?"
"Aren't those celebrity posters usually hanging on the wall?"
P.S.: It's Monday again, so I'm updating a chapter early. I'm still asking for votes and criticism today!
I'll find more pictures when I get up in the morning, and I'll also Photoshop two books for everyone.
.
One of them is a novel that, like mine, is about an invincible protagonist across various anime worlds, but he's writing about the world of The Quintessential Quintuplets. The title is below; you can check it out and add it to your favorites.
