Chapter 192 In the Unemployment Crisis
Serving as a judge for the Group Portrait Award has already caused a lot of discussion for Toru Ryukawa.
He is too young and has no systematic works. This is what everyone said about him some time ago.
Originally, this matter was suppressed by the "Crying Blood Code", but the new book trailer of "I Am a Cat" pushed him to the forefront again.
This book is full of satirical art and focuses on various intellectuals and literati.
A heartless and nonsensical person who fears that the world will not be in chaos;
Hanyue, who is rigid and meticulous, and a little bit inflexible;
Idealism, a solitary being who only has theory but no practice;
There is also the owner of the cat, who is pedantic and impatient, does things only for three minutes, and is a self-proclaimed novice monk.
The originally popular literati appeared in this form, and those literati who felt that they had been poked into a sore spot scolded Toru Ryukawa so much that the issue of Toru Ryukawa being unworthy of being a judge was once again brought to the forefront.
It was drizzling and hazy, and the lead clouds in the sky were rolling with thick thunder.
Ryukawa Tetsu, who was supposed to go back to school, sat in Takeda Zhenbi's luxury MPV again.
"These people are really boring."
After listening to the assistant's description, Longchuan Che pursed his lips.
"I Am Cat" is a classic satirical literary novel.
In addition to the depressed literati, there is also the snobbish "Big Nose" who wants to marry off his daughter;
Capitalist Kaneda, who was angry with his wife and sent someone to frame him after knowing that Kusama was sarcastic and obstructing his daughter’s marriage;
There is also a group of poor people who were moved by money and helped the Kaneda family to laugh at the neighbors who framed the novice monks.
The novel exposes social ills in a humorous and satirical way, but the literati only see the things about the literati.
"This is the right position." Ryukawa Toru said with great certainty.
"You can still laugh, Teacher Longchuan."
The assistant, Shizune, and the girl who was the driver looked at him with an expression like "How could a person dig out such a big thing like you?"
"Originally, the controversy over the group portrait awards has been suppressed. Why did you write "I Am Cat" at this critical moment?"
A novel pushed him to the forefront. Originally, the attention was not so high because of "New Haiku", but now the attention has returned to Ryukawa Tetsu.
If it weren't for the inconvenience, the assistant would really want to pry open his head to see what he was thinking.
"Isn't this good?"
Ryukawa Toru sat in the passenger seat and glanced back through the rearview mirror.
At this time, the executive director of Kodansha, Takeda Princess, was leaning on the leather seat behind her with her eyes closed to relax.
The woman looked calm and downplayed the events in the club.
"If they don't do it, find someone who can."
Ryukawa Toru said a little louder.
For a big club, even invited judges cannot do this.
The two parties have a cooperative relationship, but now they are on strike because of personal emotions.
Which leader can stand this kind of thing.
‘Will those people who are cheating and cheating be eliminated? ’
Ryukawa Che couldn't help but have this thought in his mind.
The rainwater shattered the windshield onto the road, and the luxurious MPV stopped at the entrance of Kodansha.
"Standing!"
As soon as we got off the bus, a large group of people stood in a group. They were all the people in charge of this group portrait award. They all welcomed Takeda Princess off the bus with an attitude of asking for forgiveness.
This was the first time for Longchuan Che to see this woman appear in the club as a standing manager.
People in black suits stood in a row, and their aura was even more exaggerated than on TV.
Ryukawa Toru watched Takeda Princess walk in without looking back, and the assistant followed her two steps behind.
"Executive, thank you for your hard work."
Surrounded by middle-aged people who kept bowing and apologizing, Takeda Zhenbi walked into Kodansha with her eyes fixed on her and her eyes aside.
At this point, the woman seems to have returned to her own territory.
Ryukawa Toru followed the other party and listened to the other party's instructions one by one. "People from the editorial department, ask them to come to my office."
"Send a copy of the invitation contract from the legal department to my desk."
The other party seemed to want to handle this incident personally. Ryukawa Toru asked curiously when those people dispersed.
"What are you going to do about it?"
In fact, this situation is what Longchuan Che is happy to see.
Literary people value their dignity, so Toru Ryukawa almost pointed at his nose and cursed, it would be strange if those people didn't cause trouble.
“The contract should have clauses that affect the selection process and the organizer can terminate the contract at any time.”
The words of Princess Takeda made Toru Ryukawa raise his eyebrows. On the elevator leading to the office, Toru Ryukawa gave the woman a thumbs up.
"Acting vigorously and resolutely, you are worthy of being an executive."
In the office on the top floor, Longchuan can look at his nose with his eyes and his mind with his nose.
The judges who were noisy at first calmed down when they saw Takeda Zhenfei, the chief executive.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Except for the top literati, most authors rely on publishing houses for their livelihood.
As the executive director of the largest comprehensive publishing house in the country, Takeda Zhenbi faces these judges, large and small, just like the inspections of superior leaders.
"We will not serve as judges together with Toru Ryukawa."
The person speaking at this time was Ichiro Koo. As the leader of this strike, he looked at Toru Ryukawa who was sitting there and sneered.
"He takes a nap, drooling on the book he just turned over from time to time. His skin is a little yellow due to stomach trouble, but he is a glutton. He takes gastrointestinal digestive medicine to fill his stomach. After eating the medicine, he turns over the book and reads. He dozed off after two or three pages and drooled over the book. This was the same course schedule for him every day. ”
Koo Ichiro stared at the author of "I am a Cat". The paragraph he just read was an excerpt of one or two sentences from Tatsukawa Toru's novel.
This paragraph of text vividly shows the image of backward, stubborn, conservative and decadent literati.
Natsume Soseki is well versed in sketching, and the characters in his paintings seem to come alive within one or two paragraphs.
"Teacher Longchuan, what do you mean?"
This paragraph of text is extremely ironic, and it can be said to have vilified the image of some self-respecting literati. Everyone was already dissatisfied with Ryukawa Toru, and their resentment almost reached its peak at this time.
A room full of people gathered around Ryukawa Che and asked him to explain. Ryukawa Che glanced at it.
The atmosphere is not warm enough.
"It's just a fact." Ryukawa Toru's lips were red and his teeth were white, and his smile made people feel good. However, the judges like Koo Ichiro were very angry with him.
"The child with a yellow mouth."
"Bad talk."
"We will not continue to review manuscripts unless Ryukawa Tetsu leaves."
A group of people were making a noise, and Toru Ryukawa watched Takeda Maifei stand up with a gloomy expression.
Coming, coming.
Ryukawa Tetsu is very active.
He chose this time point to write "I Am Cat" just for this situation.
Koo Ichiro and his gang formed a clique to target the works he selected during the closed selection, so Ryukawa-sensei had no choice but to use a little trick to get these face-conscious literati to come out on their own.
Kodansha needs judges, but it certainly doesn’t need a bunch of unstable bombs.
A strike by employees is the worst thing to happen anywhere, so this group of literati with a high sense of dignity would do this.
Longchuan looks through the eyes and observes the nose, and the nose observes the heart.
As an honest and responsible member of the club, he plays a dedicated role.
He watched Takeda Maifei stand up, beckoning to the people from the legal department to ask for the contract.
When he thought Takeda Princess would tell them all to get out.
The Kodansha Queen looked at him and smiled.
The smile was as bright as a rose, and it made Long Chuanche feel a little uncomfortable.
