Chapter 325: Haruno’s vest fell off?
Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, inside Otowa Town Kodansha.
Riho Morikawa hummed a relaxing and cheerful song and walked into his office with the coffee he just bought.
This is the independent office that the company leaders arranged for her a few days ago.
Although it is not yet time for promotion at the end of the year, the appearance of the new office undoubtedly shows how much the upper management attaches importance to her. After all, Riho Morikawa is now the person closest to Haruno Sawayama in the company.
The other party's books are selling better and better day by day in the market, and even the second batch of printings has to be increased in size. All these signs no longer indicate that Haruno Sawayama is growing into Kodan at an astonishing speed. The new generation pillar of the society.
As Haruno Sawayama's editor, Riho Morikawa naturally came into contact with him at work.
“Choice really outweighs hard work.”
Sitting on a comfortable office chair, Riho Morikawa couldn't help but sigh.
She has been working at Kodansha for several years, but she has always worked in the editor's public office area. She thought she would have to go through several years of experience to get into such an independent office, but it was just an accident. Signing a book led to the current situation.
No wonder everyone says, "If you make the wrong choice, your efforts will be in vain." It would be better if Haruno Sawayama came out to write a book a few years earlier than if she had worked diligently and dedicatedly in the company for several years. location.
I just don’t know yet whether the job transfer at the end of the year will promote me to department editor or independent editor.
No matter which one, the benefits to her are obvious.
"In a few days, when the promotion is confirmed, we can treat that guy Kiriyama to dinner."
While drinking coffee, Morikawa Riho couldn't help but think about the other party.
Young and rich, with good looks and good temper
It must be a hot commodity in college. Why didn't I have any classmates like this when I was in college?
"I really want to become younger"
Riho Morikawa sighed.
By the way, what is the other person doing now?
They were probably enjoying the hot springs. After all, they had heard each other talk about this the day before yesterday. In addition, I had also seen Feng Shi's hair weaving in the past two days. There was no doubt that they were on vacation outside.
But this guy is real.
Obviously Shiori has been brought here, what will happen if he brings one more? The worst she can do is treat her back a few more times.
Riho Morikawa was amused by her thoughts. After shaking her head, she warned herself in her heart.
After completely putting some unknown hazy thoughts to rest, she slowly opened her computer.
However, before Riho Morikawa could start to deal with the afternoon work, there was a sudden and urgent knock on the door.
"Dong dong dong——"
"Sister Risu, are you in the office now?"
An obviously urgent female voice came into the office.
This voice is not unfamiliar to Riho Morikawa at all. It is a female employee who was an intern under Mine Shiori at the same time as her. Her name is indescribably cute, called Ishikawa Riko.
"Please come in."
Riho Morikawa subconsciously shouted outside.
The door was immediately pushed open from the outside. The short-haired young intern who came in obviously encountered a serious problem. After entering, he looked at Riho Morikawa in a panic.
"Sister Risui, something happened."
Ishikawa Riko stammered: "There is a lot of information and reports about Teacher Kiriyama on the Internet."
"Oh, I've known about this for a long time."
Listening to Ishikawa Riko's report, Morikawa Riho seemed a little absent-minded.
She had known about this for a long time. When Haruno Sawayama went to a radio station in Minato City for an interview, she was the one who connected her old classmate with Haruno Sawayama.
It is indeed possible that the other party will release the interview. After all, "Norwegian Wood" is becoming more and more popular day by day, and the reputation of the author Kiriyama Fuyumi is also rising extremely steadily.
In addition, the company will help build momentum in the market in order to sell the film rights better. After the rights are sold, the investors will continue to work on Haruno Sawayama's novels in order to make as much profit as possible. Promote push flow.
So many external factors are helping Haruno Sawayama's novel hit higher sales. You can imagine how popular it will be during this period. The posts and videos related to "Norwegian Wood" on the Internet are even more There are many.
Almost everyone around Riho Morikawa was discussing this matter, except for the author who was on vacation at a hot spring hotel and didn't know yet.
Really, that guy doesn’t even care about the specific situation, and she still has to work hard to help every day.
"Don't worry about it. It won't have any negative impact anyway."
Riho Morikawa paused and said casually: "Let it go, maybe we can continue to use the Internet to increase the popularity of the book."
"It's not what Sister Risu thinks."
Seeing that Riho Morikawa had misunderstood, Riko Ishikawa suddenly became anxious.
She took out her mobile phone and searched a few times quickly, and then placed the content in front of Riho Morikawa.
The latter glanced at it inadvertently, and then froze on the spot.
It was a set of photos on Instagram. The person in the photo was Sawayama Haruno. However, what was unexpected was that there was a text in the photo. It probably meant that Sawayama Haruno is the famous Kiriyama Fuyumi who has been in the limelight recently. .
"No way." Riho Morikawa was stunned.
Sawayama Haruno's identity was revealed by others.
Although they didn't think this vest could be hidden forever, the fact that it was exposed so quickly was beyond their original expectations.
What's more, they still don't know who the person who broke the news online is and what photos he secretly took.
Riho Morikawa realized something was wrong and immediately asked: "Are there any other photos?"
"Yes, you can see it on his homepage." Ishikawa Riko said quickly.
Following her prompts, Riho Morikawa clicked on the homepage and continued reading. The more she looked, the more frightened she became.
Because there was another post later, which also revealed that Haruno Sawayama was a Tokyo University student.
This post is currently very popular, and it has a corresponding tag. The number of likes and comments below makes Riho Morikawa feel nervous.
There were even students from Tokyo University who responded to the blogger's speculation below. The person who responded to the post claimed that he had seen Haruno Sawayama writing a novel in the school library.
Although this reply cannot completely prove that Haruno Sawayama and Fuyumi Kiriyama are the same person, most people don't care about this. They will only preconceptionally interpret what they see.
What's more, everything they guessed is true.
In addition to this response from a Tokyo University student, someone who claimed to be a classmate of Haruno Sawayama High School also commented below.
Fortunately, this high school classmate didn't say anything. He just said that Haruno Sawayama was his former classmate.
"This is trouble."
Looking at the content on his phone, Riho Morikawa rubbed his eyebrows and suddenly felt a headache.
"Teacher Kiriyama hates having people know the truth," she sighed.
Before Haruno Sawayama signed the contract with her, he explained why he didn't want to use his real name to write novels.
The main reason is that he doesn't want others to disturb his real life.
In the past, Riho Morikawa couldn't understand why he had such an idea, but as the popularity of "Norwegian Wood" grew day by day, she also realized that not using his real name might be a good thing for Haruno.
After all, he has written such a literary work at such a young age. If the outside world knew about it, it would definitely cause quite a commotion.
Especially among his friends and classmates, there will definitely be people who keep coming to pester him, and it will be extremely troublesome to deal with it.
Thinking of this, Riho Morikawa pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Riko, go see if you can contact this blogger and ask him to delete all his posts."
"If you don't want to delete it, hand it over to the company's legal affairs and sue him directly." Riho Morikawa added.
These photos cannot be ignored. After all, Haruno Sawayama is very taboo about being disturbed in his real life.
In addition, he has recently started to prepare a second book. If too many people know his true identity, it may have a certain impact on the creation of the second book.
The best choice is to help him eliminate these photos, reduce the heat as much as possible, and prevent anyone from disturbing him in real life.
"I know."
After hearing what Riho Morikawa said, Riko Ishikawa nodded obediently.
She got her phone back, and after leaving the office, she began to contact the blogger who posted the photo.
Riho Morikawa began to contact Haruno Sawayama.
“I really can’t take any time off for a moment.”
Listening to the other party's ringtone, Riho Morikawa felt indescribably depressed.
After the call was answered, she immediately said straight to the point: "Teacher Kiriyama, we have bad news."
".I'm on vacation now. Is there any bad news that I can't tell you later?"
Haruno Sawayama sounded very helpless on the other end of the phone, but Riho Morikawa did not give him a chance to resist.
"Someone on the Internet revealed your true identity, including your study at Tokyo University."
Riho Morikawa paused and added: "I have asked someone to contact the blogger urgently, but the popularity of the post is too high. I think many people have seen it, so I called Kiriyama to remind him. Teacher, you’d better pay attention.”
"Has someone said it?"
Haruno Sawayama's tone on the other end of the phone changed significantly.
"Ms. Morikawa, can you send me that post?"
"Okay, I'll forward it to you in a moment."
Holding the phone, Riho Morikawa was hesitant to speak, and finally said slowly: "Well, Teacher Kiriyama had better be careful about the girls around you, because your reputation is too high now, and I'm afraid many people know you. will also know about it.”
