These four commentators, namely Takikawa Kanata, include book reviewers, news critics, and senior journalists respectively. Although the specific subdivisions are different, they can all be regarded as "public intellectuals" without exception.

For them, the most important thing is credibility.

These words of Hiroto Akihara have really reduced their credibility a lot.

After all, what Akihara Yuto said was very reasonable, even the four supporters couldn't say anything.

In the previous awards event, the four of them posted an article early on, thinking that Hiroto Akihara gave the award to someone else out of jealousy, and that Hiroto Akihara should come out to "apology".

However, a series of incidents that were later exposed proved that their judgment was indeed problematic.

This caused many loyal readers of Hiroto Akihara, or some other people, to send letters to the newspapers or companies related to the four, asking them to stand up and apologize publicly and be responsible for their remarks.

But for this request, it is impossible for these newspapers to agree, otherwise they would be slapping themselves in the face.

However, due to various concerns, the related columns of Takikawa Kanata and four people have basically stopped serialization.

Conventionally speaking, this behavior is to avoid the limelight.

When everyone has forgotten, they can come out and continue to be their "public knowledge".

But Wada Shin himself could not accept all of this.

The four of Takigawa Kanata and him can be regarded as "old friends" who have friendship with him, and this time they publicly criticized Akihara Hiroto under his hint.

If he doesn't take the initiative to say something, it is estimated that other old friends will not come out to speak for him in the future.

Under such concerns and anger towards Akihara Hiroto, Wada Nobu spent 3 days writing an article, criticizing Akihara Hiroto from his character to his works, and prepared to retaliate against him.

But just when he was about to find a relationship to publish this article, Takikawa Kanata learned of the situation and took the initiative to call to persuade him.

"Teacher Hetian... Please don't do this yet."

Wada Nobu didn't understand, but he still asked patiently, "Why?"

Takikawa Kanata explained: "Now the wind direction of public opinion is on Akihara Hiroto's side, publishing this kind of thing will not save anything, but..."

"Instead of what?" He Tianxin asked.

"It will make some people think that we are brazenly refusing to admit our mistakes," Takikawa Kanata said helplessly.

He has already planned to avoid the limelight, and is ready to continue writing when the public forgets about it.If Wada Nobu publishes this article, his previous efforts will undoubtedly be wasted.

"Then let that kid Akihara Hiroto talk nonsense on TV?" Wada Nobu said dissatisfied.

Takikawa Kanata sighed and said, "For now... that's the only way to go."

He felt that he was really unlucky for eight lifetimes, and actually got involved in this kind of thing.

At the beginning, Hotan trusted him to write a public relations draft to "teach" the newcomers, and he agreed without even thinking about it.After all, in his opinion, the public opinion at that time was completely directed towards him, and Hiroto Akihara had no room for turning around.

But what surprised him was that the scandal of "ghostwriting" broke out, and then the incident of Ouguan Masakazu's works with unruly intentions towards his parents broke out.

But everything had already happened, and it was useless for him to regret it.

Wada Nobu clenched his fist and tried to say something more, but finally let go of his fist.

He wasn't stupid either. He wanted to write an article to "fight back" as soon as he got excited at the time, but after thinking about it carefully, it was not very effective after the article was published.

He was silent for a while, and then said slowly; "I'm a little sorry about what happened this time."

No matter what, Takigawa Kanata and others were criticized for helping themselves after all. If I didn't say anything, I guess there would be nothing left of this years of friendship.

Takikawa Kanata pretended to say "it's okay" and hung up the phone.

When he hung up the phone, he sighed deeply several times.

I will never get involved in this kind of crap next time!

……

Hiroto Akihara is not very concerned about the "recognition" of Wada Nobu and others.

When he was recording the show, he was most concerned about the "Uemura Award", and as for scolding those "public intellectuals" who spoke with Tian Xin, it was just incidental.

He quickly forgot about it after seeing no one responded.

He has other things to attend to.

At 5:[-] p.m., in Shimbashi, Minato-ku, Tokyo.

Hiroto Akihara and Maki Satake got out of the car, asked the bodyguards to wait downstairs, and walked into a high-rise apartment with more than 30 floors.

Under the guidance of Satake Maki, he took the elevator to the 19th floor, turned right and entered a gate, and looked at the "new home option" that Satake had chosen for himself.

After browsing all the rooms, he found that the house was really nice.

The area is about 100 pings (about 300 square meters), with a total of 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (1 bathroom alone), 2 entrances (1 is used to receive guests), and an elevator for single-family.

The walls are basically floor-to-ceiling windows, because of the "L"-shaped apartment design, you can overlook the surrounding city scenery at 270 degrees, and see the Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Bay in the distance.

As for the interior decoration, it is basically "Western style", and all the furniture and appliances are well equipped.

Hiroto Akihara felt much better than he expected, and Maki Satake asked worriedly: "Is this house okay, Akihara?"

Hiroto Akihara thought it was good, but he still asked, "How much is it?"

Satake Maki replied cautiously: "About 5 million yen."

Hearing this number, Akihara Hiroto was not calm.

Up to now, although there are no specific statistics, his various booklets have sold almost one million copies.

After obtaining a large amount of royalties and avoiding taxes through foundations, his assets on the books are only about 10 billion yen.

Such a house actually costs about half of his net worth.

Satake Maki added: "The price of this suite in four years is about 4 billion yen, which is about 12 million yen less than before."

When Akihara Hiroto heard the price, he subconsciously thought about it. ,

The highest housing price in Japan was in 1990, and then it began to fall all the way due to the contraction of financial and fiscal policies.

At the peak, housing prices and land prices in Tokyo fell by 70%, and did not recover to 50% of the highest point until later.

From this point of view, it is not a disadvantage for me to buy this suite now, but I don't expect much investment value.

Satake Maki said again: "Akihara, if this place is not suitable, you can also consider another property not far away, but the property may be worse."
