Chapter 204 Shiori’s little wish
Is it really possible?
Feng Shizhi became a little confused.
Having done such a thing, even being able to maintain the original friendship with Haruno Sawayama has become a luxury.
Now there is actually a possibility of taking a further step with the other party
Is this really okay?
After Ezaki Suguha finds out, what will the other party think? Even if he ignores Suguha, can he really continue to maintain this situation in the future?
"I"
"I'm worried that it will cause trouble to Haruno, among other things," she said with a trembling tone.
But before he spoke, he was interrupted by Haruno Sawayama.
"No."
Sawayama Haruno smiled helplessly.
"Shiori, you shouldn't do something like that again, right?"
It's all been exposed, so it's unlikely that something like this will happen again.
Although Mine Shiori is still very troubled by her feelings, maybe things will get better after she talks about it.
Moreover, Mine Shiori had never known that she was already dating someone before. She was so shocked that she did such a thing in a moment of confusion.
Now that the other party knows about some of her relationship with Suguha, maybe it can make her a little more rational and recognize the reality.
Just like when she found out about him and Mana during the Golden Week.
The only difference is that this time she did respond, and there was no tragedy like the death of her mother.
Afterwards, I will find a way to ask Suguha Esaki to help with some persuasion, and I should be able to let go of this feeling.
Even if you can't let it go for the time being, the other party probably won't do that kind of irrational thing again.
Thinking of this, Sawayama Haruno took a deep breath and solemnly said: "Shiori."
"Please, please be my assistant."
His eyes were very sincere, and there was something in them that Mine Shiori had never seen before.
The petite girls just looked at each other, then couldn't control themselves and trembled all over.
Strong emotions surged through her body, and she subconsciously opened her mouth.
"I I know."
The moment she blurted it out, she seemed to be relieved.
Sawayama Haruno also smiled.
"That's good. I'll tell Miss Morikawa later, and she should be more interested in your internship."
"But the downside is that we might get very busy after we return to Tokyo."
"It shouldn't matter." Mine Shiori pursed her lips and whispered, "After returning to Tokyo, I will most likely not be able to serve as Suguha's tutor anymore, so it doesn't matter if I am a little busy."
"That's right."
Listening to what the other party said, Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but sigh.
It seems that Suguha Esaki also confessed her family's arrangements to Mine Shiori.
This actually made him a little confused about what to say.
After all, excluding his own reasons, the relationship between Mine Shiori and Ezaki Suguha is actually very good. Seeing that the other is about to embark on such a completely different life path, I guess they will feel very uncomfortable inside.
"I will also find a way to help after what happens with Suguha."
After thinking again and again, Sawayama Haruno still advised Mine Shiori: "So you don't need to worry too much."
"Actually, I had already met her brother when I attended the dinner party yesterday. He was the one who invited us to dinner at the martial arts hall last time."
"Eh" Mine Shiori raised her head in surprise, "Esaki-senpai, no, Esaki Naoto?"
"Well, he promised me that he would help deal with Suguha's affairs."
Sawayama Haruno smiled helplessly.
"Moreover, after returning to Tokyo, I will follow him to visit the grandfather of the Esaki family."
"That's it"
Mine Shiori smiled tiredly and said: "That's good, it can solve Suguha's problem."
Although I feel a little weak all over, I should still be happy inside.
After all, there was no way to change what happened, and it was almost time for her to recognize the reality.
Esaki Suguha is also a very important disciple and friend to her, otherwise she wouldn't have acted so distracted after hearing what the other party said yesterday.
"Speaking of which, has Shiori ever met Suguha's grandfather?"
"without."
Feng Shizhi shook his head gently.
"When I was hired as a tutor, the person who received me was their housekeeper. Later, I met Naoto Esaki."
"Yeah, I've met Suguha's mother too."
"Really?" Haruno Sawayama suddenly became curious and couldn't help but ask, "What kind of person is Suguha's mother?"
"Well"
Mine Shiori suddenly hesitated.
After glancing at Haruno Sawayama with a slightly uneasy look, she said in a somewhat unspeakable voice: "There are some women who are not very good, and they are very thin, and they look like they are seriously ill."
"That's it." Haruno Sawayama did not continue to struggle.
After all, he already knew that Suguha's mother suffered from some mental illness, and it was understandable that she was in a bad state.
bite--
At this moment, the phone suddenly lit up.
After attracting his attention, Haruno Sawayama subconsciously unlocked it to view the new information.
It wasn't sent from LINE, but an email in my mailbox.
It seemed that it was sent by Kodansha, but it was more formal than Riho Morikawa's notice. It probably said congratulations to Fuyumi Kiriyama for winning the first place in this competition.
In addition, there are the location and specific process of tomorrow's award ceremony, and then there are congratulations again and telling him that he will sign a new contract after returning to Tokyo.
"Do you want to sign the contract again?"
Sawayama Haruno became a little curious. He touched his chin and asked uncertainly: "Is there any additional cooperation content?"
"Probably not."
Mine Shiori also took a look over and said with some uncertainty: "Generally speaking, even if there is a new publishing matter to cooperate with, it will not be so fast. After all, Haruno, you haven't published it yet, and you haven't even promoted it yet. Not done yet.”
"I think it's because the group plans to further deepen cooperation in response to your obtaining the leadership position, so I want to give you a contract with better benefits, right?"
“So that’s how it is”
Sawayama Haruno suddenly understood.
Sure enough, it is different when a professional assistant is there to help explain.
He also thought that signing the new contract meant copyright development things.
But if you calm down and think about it carefully, you will find that this is a bit unreasonable. After all, he is only participating in a competition that is not open to the public in the industry. How can he reach the top in one step to develop copyrights, remake movies, and the like.
But it would be nice to be able to improve one's salary. The improvement here should refer to things like future publishing dividends.
That is, things related to money.
"It seems that we will need to hire a professional lawyer in the future."
Sawayama Haruno scratched his head and said helplessly: "I haven't thought about it much before, but now I feel it's time to think about it carefully."
"I want to invite you. After all, Haruno's book. Now everyone in the industry can see the potential, right?"
Feng Shizhi added in a low voice: "Not only a lawyer, but also a professional tax accountant, which can save you a lot of trouble. Of course, you don't need to hire a tax accountant so quickly. You only need to wait until the tax settlement later." Just find someone to come.”
"A tax accountant? I used to do it by myself."
"It's better to hire a professional." Feng Shizhi still insisted and said seriously, "A professional tax accountant can help you save a lot of unnecessary taxes. Some things can be completely considered as work necessities, so you can use company channels to get them." Help pay taxes or get tax exemption.”
"It's so complicated."
Sawayama Haruno twitched the corner of his mouth.
"I'll see if I know anyone later."
If you think about it carefully, the taxation of island countries is really troublesome.
But yes, only the country in my previous life would be more convenient.
Most foreign countries have to fill in a report, and fill in the amount of tax that should be paid based on annual income, annual expenses, and expenses.
As for Europe, Haruno Sawayama is not sure, but if it is an island country, many people will still ask tax accountants to help solve this problem.
For example, the computer, chair and other things you buy can be completely attributed to work needs, so you can use company channels for legal personal tax avoidance.
Strictly speaking, as long as there is a legitimate reason, such an operation can be carried out, and a lot of money can be saved in a year; of course, only professionals can do this kind of thing, and it is difficult for ordinary people to think of how to do it. It’s a hassle to process, and filling it out is also a hassle.
"Anyway, I will pay attention to these things."
Sawayama Haruno stood up, smiled gently at the petite girl on the hospital bed and said, "I still want to thank Shiori for reminding me today."
“It’s just a small thing”
Feng Shiori still said in a somewhat calm tone.
But Haruno Sawayama was very keenly aware that the roots of her ears were gradually turning red.
What? Are you still a little shy because of your gratitude?
Haruno Sawayama felt a little funny in his heart, but this also showed that the other party actually didn't have much of a problem, and the matter of grabbing the bag on the spot was probably alleviated because of today's conversation.
If you say that, you don't have anything to worry about next, right?
Thinking of this, his smile became more relaxed.
"Then I'll go back first. I'll have to make a phone call with Miss Morikawa later to ask about the follow-up matters."
"If you are going to be discharged from the hospital in the afternoon, I will come with you to pick you up."
"Okay." Feng Shizhi said.
Her health is no longer serious. After another comprehensive examination, if the results are still normal, she can be discharged directly in the afternoon.
Suguha hoped that she could stay one more day and check a few more times, but Mine Shiori didn't want to miss tomorrow's award ceremony.
After all, Haruno Sawayama will wear a suit on stage to receive the award.
if you can
She still wanted to witness that scene with her own eyes.
