The male bodyguards often accompany him to go out and participate in various activities, while the female bodyguards are assigned to Asano Aiko, after all, the latter often has to do some business matters on behalf of Akihara Hiroto.

As for Satake Maki, now he has taken over some basic proofreading and editing work, and rarely attends public events.Even if he wants to go out, he is often with Akihara Yuto.

Asano Aiko's heart warmed, and she smiled and said, "Akihara, I understand, don't worry."

The two skipped this topic and talked about other aspects.

After finishing some recent work, Hiroto Akihara took the initiative to pay the bill, and then left with the bodyguard named Hata Naka.Asano Aiko looked at his background with a hint of tenderness in her eyes.

……

After a short 15-minute walk, Akihara Yuto said goodbye to Hatakaki downstairs and returned home.

After changing his shoes in the entrance, he went straight to the study.

The area of ​​his study is about 15 ping (49.5 square meters), and there is a tall bookcase against the wall, which is full of books and materials collected by Hiroto Akihara.

And in the middle of the room, is a desk made of black mahogany.Behind the desk is a transparent floor-to-ceiling window, from which you can see the vast Tokyo Bay.

Akihara Hiroto stood in front of the window and took a look, then sat down at the desk and began to think about the next plan.

Looking at it now, with the support of royalties, I no longer have to worry about money, so I don't have to deliberately pursue writing some commercial works.

After all, although commercial works sell well, they often bring some negative comments.

Like the "Guhata Series", although some readers like it very much, the reasoning technique is still not comparable to some classic works.

Therefore, many book reviewers still think that their level has dropped, which is quite different from other previous works.

However, it is impossible to stop serialization. After all, the "Guhata Ren Saburo" TV series is now in full swing, so there is no need to give up a cash cow in vain.

So for now just keep the status quo.

After the more than 40 serializations in the previous life are over, it will be enough to sell the relevant copyright of this work for a good price, and maybe we can talk to the classroom.

Apart from this, the most useful thing for me is fame and connections.

In terms of fame, there is nothing more than winning a prize.

For me, the most useful ones at present are the Uemura Award and the Mystery Writers Association Award.

The Uemura Award is currently being manipulated by the radicals behind Wada Nobu. If he wants to win the award, he has to wait for the Ministry of Science and Education to see if there is any willingness to reform.

Even if there is a move to reform, the group of radicals probably won't compromise so easily and vote for themselves.

But I heard that there are big differences among them, maybe I can take advantage of it?

The information is still insufficient, so I'd better ask Chairman Kawai again.

As for the Mystery Writers Association Award, I heard that the faction configuration among the judges is very similar to the Newcomer Award, and the Association is still reforming the evaluation rules.

As long as I come up with excellent works, the hope of winning the prize is still very high!

As for the network, is there any way for me to go further?

In this awards event, Nobuo Wada could easily find a group of "public intellectuals" to slander and siege him. If it weren't for the help of "April Youth", it would be a lot of trouble for him to stand up.

This proves the importance of networking!

Since this is the case, it is even more necessary to get to know some relationships, preferably with some capable people in the circle of public opinion.

In this way, if something breaks out, he can quickly use the other party's channel to defend himself.

But how should I know such a person, and how can I combine them into a powerful consistent relationship?

When Akihara Hiroto was frowning and thinking, the phone on the table rang, and Akihara Hiroto picked up the microphone, and soon heard Kawai Shinta's voice.

"Akihara-san, there is one thing I hope you can help me with."

[Chapter 234.233 "Lust" culture]

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Hiroto Akihara arrived at a club in Ginza in a special car driven by bodyguards.

After asking the bodyguards to wait downstairs, Hiroto Akihara followed a waitress to the room designated by Shinta Kawai.

The waitress pushed open the door and signaled Hiroto Akihara to walk in, and Akihara grew up as he walked—this was far from the clubs he had been to before, and the environment was as luxurious as a five-star hotel.

In the very center of this room, Kawai Shinta was wearing a kimono, sitting on the sofa chatting with a fat man in a dark red suit.

Next to the two, there were two beautiful female publicists helping to serve the wine.

After seeing Hiroto Akihara, the two stood up, and Shinta Kawai introduced with a smile, "Akihara, this is Mr. Daiki Shida, the executive director of "Governor Shimbun."

The fat man named Shida Daiki also saluted with a smile, "It's the first time we meet, I'm Shida Daiki, please take care of me."

Seeing the other party's sincere attitude, Akihara Hiroto immediately returned the gift and introduced himself. In the process, he couldn't help but look at the other party.

This Shida-san is about 40 years old, with a fat body and a round face.When he laughed, his eyes were completely closed, looking a bit like a comedian.

But I don't know why, although the other party smiled very kindly, but Hiroto Akihara always felt that his smile was "fake", and he had a feeling of seeing Takei Kohei.

Akihara Hiroto became vigilant subconsciously, but he immediately realized that he was no longer the little unknown writer he was back then.

And this time it was also introduced by Kawai Shinta, saying that the other party wanted something from him.

So no matter from which point of view, I don't need to be so wary of this person.

He relaxed his mind, smiled politely, and then sat on the sofa together under Kawai Shinta's greeting.

Shida Daxi wanted to ask his mother to arrange a female publicist, but Kawai Xin was too familiar with Akihara Yuto's temper, so he waved his hand to help him decline.

Akihara Hiroto took the wine glass handed over by a female publicist, took a sip, and then asked, "Director Shida, is there anything special about inviting me this time?"

In the previous phone call, Kawai Shinta only said that someone entrusted him to help introduce, but did not say anything specific.

When Shida Daxi saw that the topic was getting into the topic, he also put down his hand on the shoulder of the female publicist, and said politely: "Mr. Akihara, how much do you know about our "Governor News"?"

Hiroto Akihara has a good understanding of the publishing industry, but only a mediocre understanding of newspapers.

After thinking about it for a while, he said: "I'm sorry, I only know that your magazine's sales volume is quite large, but I don't have a deep understanding of the specific situation."

Shida Daxi was stunned. He thought that Akihara Yuto, as a writer, should know his newspaper well, but he didn't expect to get this reply.

Seeing his embarrassment, Kawai Shinta took the initiative to take up the topic, "Ms. Akihara is busy with creation, and usually doesn't care much about the outside world. How about this, let me explain..."

In his introduction, Akihara Youcai learned about the specific situation of this "Governor News".

As one of the largest newspaper distribution countries in the world, Neon fully occupies 10 of the top 4 newspapers in the world.

The "Governor Shimbun" where Shida Daxi is located happens to be ranked fourth, with a sales volume of 4 million copies per day.
