Chapter 216 Miss Morikawa is restless
It was very late when I got home.
After opening the door, Haruno Sawayama saw Maki Miyazawa sitting on the sofa, holding his tablet and looking at it in fascination.
After putting down the takeout bag in his hand, he asked curiously: "What are you looking at?"
"Book, you wrote it."
Maki Miyazawa shook her pink feet and said absently: "I just started watching it, and it seemed a little interesting."
"Do you actually know which file it is under?"
"Just click on each one and take a look." Maki Miyazawa put down the tablet and said with a smile, "I wanted to see if you had any "study materials" or something like that."
You can't find it even if you do. Those are all hidden and encrypted files.
"Come over and eat."
"I've been here for so long, I don't even know if it's cold or not."
Maki Miyazawa was lying on the sofa, opening her hands towards Haruno Sawayama who was walking over, and coquettishly motioned for the other party to pull her up.
Sawayama Haruno did the opposite, grabbed the opponent's delicate feet and pulled them back.
With an exclamation, Miyazawa Maki was successfully "separated" from the sofa by him.
"I don't know how to cherish the beauty of the beauty at all, my legs are still weak!"
"Eat quickly. It shouldn't be cold yet. I'm going to take a shower first."
Haruno Sawayama ignored her complaints and entered his bedroom to pack his clothes and take a shower.
Although I am still very energetic, I have been busy all day today, and it is almost time to take a shower and rest.
I have to go to Kodansha to sign a contract tomorrow.
What made him a little confused was that the order of some clothes in the wardrobe seemed to be different from before.
But after thinking that I had been away for a week, it seemed normal that I couldn't remember. In addition, the clothes that I usually wear are all in the suitcase, and the clothes that I don't wear often are naturally in a conspicuous place in the wardrobe.
So Haruno Sawayama didn't think any more, took his clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
By the time he came out from the shower, Maki Miyazawa had almost eaten, and was lying on the sofa touching the snoring salmon balls while continuing to look at the tablet.
It's still the same. Sawayama Haruno shook his head.
After taking out his midnight snack, he began to check the information in the school group chat while thinking about going to the company tomorrow.
After eating was almost done, Maki Miyazawa had already gone back to his room to sleep, so he picked up the remaining food on the dining table, cleaned it briefly and went back to his room to rest.
So just like that, the first night back in Tokyo finally came to an end.
Time soon came to the next day.
Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Kodansha Headquarters, 5LC Ward.
Riho Morikawa was sitting in her seat, hurriedly rummaging through information.
A female colleague passing by saw this and joked: "Riho, why do you feel so haggard after coming back from Kyoto?"
"Of course, I never rested."
While rummaging through things, Morikawa Riho complained casually: "I really thought I could rest there for a while, but it turns out that I have to work around the clock when I get back. I have to go back to work after I come back."
"It's too hard."
Another male colleague came over with a thermos cup, holding his waist and said cheerfully: "After the business trip is over, you have a holiday, right? Morikawa can also use the holiday points accumulated before to exchange for a few days of rest. This This is a trick we have tried time and time again.”
Their working hours are actually relatively free. Kodansha does not force them to work any number of hours. However, for the sake of their own performance and future, most people will choose normal commuting hours, and even change each person's working hours. The fixed monthly overtime hours are also provided.
Occasionally, when there are holidays or special circumstances, there will be examples where you have to continue working normally during the holidays. In this case, you will get something called "leave points".
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is convenient for them to use this thing to ask for leave during the working day.
As an experienced editor, I will use points to exchange for a few more days of rest during the two-day fixed holiday for business trips. The maximum can even be a week's rest. If it happens to be a two-day weekend. If so, the rest time will only be longer.
Of course, Riho Morikawa also knows these "little tips in the workplace", but she has other things to do today and has to come to the company.
"If only it were this easy."
She rolled her eyes and said angrily: "The editor-in-chief asked me to finalize the new contract with the writer as soon as possible. Otherwise, do you think I want to come back to work so soon?"
"ah!"
Hearing what Riho Morikawa said, the female colleague's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Is it that one, the new teacher who also went to Kyoto to compete a few days ago, Kiriyama Fuyumi?"
"I heard from Takiya-senpai that he is one of the authors responsible for Miss Morikawa."
"That's him." Riho Morikawa raised the corner of her mouth slightly, pretending to be reserved, "Hey, after all, there are actually a lot of people participating in this competition. After a lot of effort, a promising seedling emerged. The editor-in-chief and others will be anxious and very worried. normal."
"As expected of Morikawa-senpai, he seems to be able to achieve great results this year."
"Luck luck."
Riho Morikawa's smile became even brighter. Thanks to Haruno Sawayama, her status in the company has changed differently.
After returning to Tokyo yesterday, the editor-in-chief, department heads, and other group leaders even came over to have a meal with her. It was said to be a reward for the employees who were on a business trip to Kyoto, but in fact, the most important thing was to reward her.
After all, Haruno Sawayama has not only won the favor of the little princess of the Ishizawa family, but also Shibata Shinkai, whose strength can be said to have stabilized the older generation of writers. In addition, the other party is still so young and is a debut novel, so the group's senior management will be optimistic about it. He is also normal.
Even Riho Morikawa received some care.
After a few glasses of wine at yesterday's party, the editor-in-chief revealed, intentionally or unintentionally, that she might be promoted by the end of the year.
Therefore, it is normal for other colleagues to envy her.
"Speaking of which, what kind of person is Mr. Kiriyama?"
The female colleague was a little curious and said: "I heard from other colleagues on business trips that she looks very young and good-looking."
"He."
Riho Morikawa thought about Haruno Sawayama's appearance, and then nodded solemnly.
"Indeed, Mr. Kiriyama is really a talented person. If he were young, he wouldn't even be able to buy cigarettes at a convenience store."
"Hey, so young??"
The female colleague suddenly became excited.
"Have you a girlfriend?"
"Unfortunately, there is."
Riho Morikawa thought that not only did the other party have a girlfriend, but even the eldest daughter of the Esaki family was still queuing up, so you'd better save your worries.
Besides, no matter how talented he is, Kiriyama-sensei can probably win over other better girls just by relying on his looks.
It's great to be young. It would be great if I were younger. Looking at such an outstanding man, I can't help but feel a little regretful.
You must know that she is still an older virgin, and now she has to face the situation of urging her to get married whenever she calls her family, which really gives her a headache.
Her family would always say how popular her job was and how she could come into contact with so many educated people. She should take advantage of this opportunity to find an outstanding young man to date. It was true that most of the writers she came into contact with were middle-aged and older men. OK.
Even if there are a few who appear to be good-looking and gentle, in fact they must be more romantic. After all, they are literati.
Since romance is already the standard for literati, why doesn't she find a young man like Haruno Sawayama? What's the point of finding a middle-aged man in his thirties?
Riho Morikawa complained so hard in her heart about being "forced to get married" that people outside called her twice before she realized what was going on.
"Editor Morikawa, the guests are already sitting in the reception room."
"Sorry, come right over."
Riho Morikawa slapped her forehead, feeling a little regretful.
She almost forgot about the business. She still had to go there with the information and the contract. After all, it was already the time to meet with Haruno Sawayama.
She hurriedly found a pile of information that had been pressed at the bottom of the desktop, then took the contract documents, pen and paper and trotted towards the reception room.
Sawayama Haruno has been waiting inside for a long time.
Not seeing anyone come in, he was so bored that he started playing with the transparent mineral water bottle on the table.
Just when he was thinking about whether to take out his mobile phone to send someone a message, the door to the reception room was finally pushed open, and Riho Morikawa arrived late.
"Sorry, I wasted some time looking for something."
As soon as she entered the door, she lifted up her bangs that were falling slightly and smiled a little apologetically.
"It's okay, I don't have anything else to do today anyway."
Haruno Sawayama smiled and said: "I was thinking of treating Miss Morikawa to a meal after signing the contract, just to express my gratitude for the things in Kyoto."
"Then I won't be polite."
Riho Morikawa sat down and smiled reservedly.
"There is an expensive sushi restaurant nearby. I've always wanted to go there."
"It's sushi again."
"Teacher Kiriyama, don't you like sushi?"
Riho Morikawa took out the information and the contract and pushed it towards the other party, while smiling and joking: "When we were in Kyoto, didn't Shiori say that you like to eat that kind of food?"
That's because Suguha Ezaki keeps ordering that thing. Even if I like to eat it, I can't eat it every day, Sawayama Haruye complained.
But forget it, it’s a treat after all, so of course the guest’s wishes must be the main one.
"No problem, just finish signing early and go there early."
With that said, he took the contract pushed over by the other party.
Although the cooperative relationship between the two is already very stable, they have even signed a contract once.
But after all, this kind of thing involves too much interest, so it is better to check it as carefully as possible.
