I Am a Master of Light Novels in Japan

Chapter 28

—[After all… After all, we are partners. Isn’t it a matter of course to know the sales? 】

Ying Lili vaguely said that she was worried that these sales might involve company secrets, but Li Yan revealed it to her.

“Don’t worry, just ask casually. If it doesn’t involve company secrets, the information will be published on the website soon. And you know it’s quite reasonable, and it’s not a person outside the company. I’m just curious about when you will follow Uesugi-sensei is so close.” Kagurazaka Ayame said with a smile.

Ying Lili suddenly became silent, and soon Ying Lili anxiously explained.

—[We are partners after all. The last time we had an illustration, we had a good communication, and of course it’s a good relationship. 】

“That’s good, I’m relieved, Mr. Shangshan’s novels and your illustrations are really wonderful collaborations. Such results are also expected.” Kagurazaka Ayame said happily.

However, Ying Lili still asked suspiciously: [What about Xia Shizi? 】

“…The sales of Xia Shi’s sub-amount, long before it was put on the shelves, was also in my expectation.” Kagurazaka Ayame thought for a while, and said.

— [Then why? Why did you know that there was such a big mistake in that book, but you deliberately caused a sales competition between her and Uesugi? Didn’t that ruin her series of works? 】

Ying Lili asked with a reproachful voice.

“It is precisely because I knew that the sales of Xia Shizi’s next volume would have a major decline, so I did this deliberately. Although it is a coincidence, the conflict between Uesugi and Xia Shizi may be a good thing. That’s why I organized this event further.”

Kagurazaka Ayame smiled faintly and said.

Ying Lili was taken aback, and she didn’t understand what she wanted to ask on the phone, but Kagurazaka Ayame said what she wanted to ask.

Kagurazaka Ayame said: “In fact, the fifth volume of “The Metronome of Love” did not make much mistakes, but there were serious mistakes in the fourth volume. In the fourth volume, Xia Shizi was directly involved in the plot. When it reached the peak, suddenly, with different ambitions, the actor and actress who were gradually warming up emotionally were dismantled, which led to a large number of readers complaining to Sanhe Library and losing many loyal readers. So Sanhe Wenku itself has no expectations for the sales of Volume 5.”

She looked at the heavy rain outside the window and said, “It’s just that I will not give up any writer in my hand. Even if the sales are too poor, the company will be held accountable if he rushes to the shelves. I also hope that Xia Shizi will continue to write. Everyone’s editors, if you don’t stand up at this time, how can you stop Xia Shizi from quitting the novel world? So… I put all my hopes on Uesugi teacher.”

Ying Lili was dumbfounded.

It turned out that the chess played by Kagurazaka Ayame turned out to be bigger than expected.

【】.

“Editor Kagurazaka, now the president wants you to talk about some things about the poor sales of Mr. Xia Shizi’s works.”

Suddenly, Kagurazaka Acorus was knocked on the door, making Kagurazaka Acorus a moment of stun, and she immediately pondered for a while and said, “Well, I know, thank you.”

“Sure enough, I was held accountable.”

Kagurazaka Ayame habitually stretched out his hand and pinched his chin to think about how to answer questions from the president and other senior executives. After all, there was a problem with the sales of the first-line author, and she had a considerable responsibility as a responsible editor.

“Well then, I’m going to the president’s room.” Kagurazaka Ayame said with a smile.

— [Wait a minute, Kagurazaka-san, I still don’t understand, why did you suddenly get involved with Lee… Uesugi? 】

“…Xia Shizi’s talents should be recognized by everyone, but she also has an obvious weakness, that is, she is an overly emotional person and is easily disturbed by the outside world.”

Kagurazaka Ayame opened the door, smiled and said, “Uesugi-sensei has a characteristic that allows people to see what they need to do, and I think Kasumi Shiko will understand it later.”

…

Tokyo, Koto district.

A misty world, lush green trees, empty streets, quiet Tokyo, immersed in this peaceful world. In the quiet coffee street, he stood on the subway entrance and came to Jiangdong District.

Standing at the entrance of the subway, Li Yan thought it would rain for an hour, but now it is still pouring rain. As a result, he and other passersby who came out of the subway could only wait at the door for a while.

“It’s such a heavy rain directly calling me out. Can’t you really surrender to me another day?” Li Yan looked at the lightning and thunderous sky, and the gray raining scene, and thought to himself.

The sales gap is too big, so it has been a steady win, but what is surprising is that he thought that the arrogant Xia Shizi would only ask him for an interview in a few days, but she directly sent out a meeting. SMS to fulfill the promise.

After all, this time the sales competition was not won entirely because of his strength, but Xia Shizi’s own work had a serious problem. In the case of the problem, Li Yan also guessed that it might still be in the fourth volume. Although the fourth volume has the highest sales in the “Love Metronome” series, it is because of the serious mistakes in the previous volume that it directly leads to the fifth volume. The sale was postponed several times, and even the sales were not satisfactory.

“Forget it, I don’t need to think about her anymore. Anyway, I won. This is the most important thing.” Li Yan calmly arranged his suit, thinking.

Suddenly, a commotion came from the subway mouth behind him.

“Wait a minute, who on earth is that woman, you must make it clear today!”

“Can you control this stinky girl?”

Li Yan and the others were taken aback. Looking back at the stairs, a muscular young man hugged a young girl, and a woman in her twenties who looked very bright and had an argument.

“Takuya, why did you do this? Are you so worthy of me? I worked so hard to support the two of us. You betrayed me…”

“This is all of your own will. Since you found out, I don’t plan to be with you anymore. You old woman, let me get away.”

Li Yan looked at each other and thought: “Why is there such a thing again? It’s really annoying to see it, so I said…The stupid idea that you can pay for everything with love is written in light novels. What a misguided society. …”

But this time with so many people, he didn’t dare to take care of the other party’s private affairs, pretending not to see it, causing a conflict here, and it is estimated that he will be sent back to the country.

The woman in her twenties rushed up, took the young man’s arm, and shouted: “Let’s go home, Takuya, even if it does, I will forgive you, as long as our feelings can be restored…”

Suddenly, there was a muffled sound that caught Li Yan’s attention. He looked back and saw that the young man pushed the begging woman to the ground.

“Enough, really embarrassing.” The young man said with a sneer.

Li Yan stared blankly, the original indifferent eyes gradually exuding intense anger.

“…”

At the entrance of the crowded stairs, a road suddenly separated, and when the young man with strong muscles noticed someone coming, the powerful punch had already hit his cheek.

With a snap, blood splashed directly.

But this man named Takuya didn’t seem to be an ordinary person. He immediately backed away, without much harm. He stared at Li Yan angrily and shouted, “Who are you kid?!”

“I’m the one who sent you to hell.” Li Yan pulled off his tie, exuding that anger, and rushed over after speaking.

…

In a semi-outdoor cafe, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu is still waiting for Li Yan to come.

There is a cup of coffee in front of the table, black and beautiful long hair draped on the chair, and the unparalleled face attracts everyone who passes by, as if this girl sitting alone in the rain is a perfect oil painting.

“late.”

At 3:35, when Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu looked at the phone, her face suddenly became dark, and she said coldly.

She just took out her mobile phone and wanted to use the line to ask, but suddenly the phone rang and it was still an unfamiliar phone number.

“Hello?” Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu answered and asked.

“Hello, is it Miss Xia Shizi?” a strange man asked.

“Yes, who are you?” Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu asked curiously.
