After leaving Ninomiya's house.
Hayakawa Shiori is still worried about the ring on the middle finger of Ichinose Haruna's left hand.
As far as she knew.
Ichinose Haruna is deeply in love with Ninomiya Ritsu.
In this situation.
How could she suddenly get engaged to another man? At the age of 23, Ichinose Haruna had no need to rush to get engaged. In addition to the follow-up questions, Ichinose Haruna either couldn't answer or was inconsistent.
thus.
She came up with a surprising guess——
The engagement ring worn on the middle finger of her left hand was given to Ichinose Harina by Ritsu Ninomiya.
This is an exaggeration.
She, the 'quasi-fiancée', had never received such a meaningful gift as a ring, but Ichinose Haruna got it. In addition to Ichinose Haruna, Ninomiya Ritsu also had a relationship with Hazuki Kana.
What happened one after another left her breathless.
"This weekend, it has to be successful."
The day after tomorrow is the day I made an appointment with Ninomiya Ritsu to travel to Osaka.
She made up her mind.
When you get to Osaka, you must have sex with Ritsu Ninomiya.
Nowadays, only by having a relationship with Er Gong Lv and having his children can the Er Gong Lv be tied down. Otherwise, even if Ninomiya Ritsu is not snatched away by that scheming girl Hazuki Kana, she will still be snatched away by Ichinose Haruna who has got the ring.
…
Same as Hayakawa Shiori.
Hazuki Kana also saw something wrong with the ring, and came to the same conclusion. The ring must have been given to Ichinose Harina by Ninomiya Ritsu.
In a sense.
She was more anxious and panicked than Hayakawa Shiori.
She had found so many opportunities, had sex with Ergong Lu so many times, and even taken several boxes of pregnancy-boosting pills, but the result was that her belly was not good at all. If she didn't have Ergong Lu's child, she would not be able to bear it. Spend a lifetime as a lover?
What she pursues is to become Ninomiya Ritsu's first wife.
Rather than really being his lifelong lover.
"Maybe I should turn down some jobs."
Hazuki Kana felt that doing it only once every two or three days was still too infrequent: "If I could move into Ritsujun's house and live with him for ten days and a half, maybe the result would be different?
"Decided!
“I just found an excuse to move here in the past two days.
“But you can’t tell Ritsu-kun about this in advance, otherwise there’s a high chance of being rejected.
“You must kill first and then tell.
“It just so happened that Ritsu-kun gave me the spare key to his house.
"The move will be finished by then. Lu-kun is still embarrassed to drive me away?"
"..."
Normally, she would not have done this. Putting aside the reserve of a girl, as a public figure, it is a bit unpleasant to be exposed as living with her boyfriend before she is married.
But the excitement of that ring made her unable to care too much.
For her.
The top priority right now is to have a child with the second house law, everything else is secondary.
…
Early the next morning.
Ritsu Ninomiya personally came to Shueisha's headquarters, Hitotsubashi 2-chome, Chiyoda Ward.
Opposite Shueisha.
It’s another famous publishing house, Shogakukan.
In fact, these two well-known publishing companies in the industry belong to the Hitotsubashi Publishing Group. Even a few decades ago, Shueisha was just a department under Shogakukan Co., Ltd.
But after going out independently to establish a club.
Shueisha has developed rapidly and has now become the well-deserved number one in the comic publishing industry. The "Weekly Shōnen Jump" magazine they control is Neon's domestic comic magazine with the highest circulation.
What is long must be short.
Relatively speaking, Shueisha is inferior to Kodansha in the traditional literary publishing industry.
Let’s talk about neon as a whole.
Kodansha dominates most of the major literary awards.
Even if Shueisha catches up, it will be difficult to break through the current predicament. For example, the rules of the Edogawa Ranpo Prize clearly stipulate that all prize-winning works must be published and sold by Kodansha.
Even shortlisted works.
Kodansha has certain priority signing and publishing rights.
However, his book offended the entire industry, so Kodansha looked down upon him, and his senior kendo friends at Kodansha couldn't help him in this regard.
Simply with the help of Hayakawa Shiori.
The editor-in-chief of ML Bunko, a subsidiary of Shueisha, personally approached him to sign a contract and promised to provide treatment that exceeded that of top authors, such as royalties sharing as high as 15%, omni-channel advertising recommendations, etc.
To know.
Generally speaking, if a new writer makes his debut, he will be thankful if he can get 8% of the royalties. Mainstream writers can only get about 12%. To give him a direct 15% of the royalties is definitely a great effort by Hayakawa Shiori.
"Well, Mr. Ninomiya, it's a pleasure to work with you."
Editor-in-Chief Iwasa Okaji had a humble smile on his face and took the initiative to shake hands with Ritsu Ninomiya: "In my opinion, this work by Ninomiya-sensei is definitely ahead of the Edogawa Ranpo Award-winning works, no matter in the selection process." The committee, as well as the editors of Kodansha, were all blind and allowed this unprecedented work to be rejected. They will regret it sooner or later."
"Editor-in-Chief Iwasa, you are discerning!"
Ritsu Ninomiya's eyes lit up, and he had a much better impression of the editor-in-chief Iwasa Chiji.
After all, everyone on the Internet is badmouthing his work.
Only Iwasa himself said that he was optimistic about his works. Isn't this visionary?
He is worthy of being the person who can sit in the position of editor-in-chief.
He couldn't help but get excited: "So Editor-in-Chief Iwasa, what do you like about this book?"
"The plot is refreshing and the characters are three-dimensional and full."
"So which character in the book is Editor-in-Chief Iwasa's favorite?"
"M-heroine."
"..."
Ritsu Ninomiya felt something vaguely and asked deliberately: "By the way, Chief Editor Iwasa, do you still remember the name of the male protagonist?"
"..."
Iwasa Chiji was speechless for a moment and just stood there awkwardly.
In fact, he had never seen Ritsu Ninomiya at all. The reason why he gave him such a generous contract and wildly boasted about his works was simply because Ritsu Ninomiya was introduced to him by the Hayakawa family.
And he had inside information.
Member of Parliament and Administrative Officer of the Ministry of Justice Hayakawa Jungen seems to be very optimistic about Ninomiya Ritsu. There is a high probability that Ninomiya Ritsu will marry into the Hayakawa family and become the heir of Administrative Officer Hayakawa Jungen.
As a professional veteran.
If he had missed such a powerful connection, he would have spent so many years in vain.
Unexpectedly, Ninomiya Ritsu didn't follow the routine and just chatted with him about the plot. He suddenly asked him the name of the male protagonist, so that he, who had never seen it, couldn't take up the topic.
Ninomiya Ritsu couldn't help but sigh.
Again, he is worthy of being the editor-in-chief.
Look at this level.
Even if he hasn't seen it, he can be blown away by it.
Losing the interest to continue chatting with the editor-in-chief, he asked a few more questions and immediately went home: "Editor-in-Chief Iwasa, as soon as possible, when can my book be published and put on sale?"
"At least half a month."
Editor-in-Chief Iwasa Chiji replied: "The main reason is that it requires a lot of advertising. Just typesetting and printing is very fast. If it is urgent, it can be put on the shelves in two or three days."
“Just follow up with the publicity.”
Ergong Lu finalized the plan: "Now that the popularity is high, it doesn't really matter whether we advertise it or not, so five days... I will give you five days, and I will see it published and released in five days."
