Chapter 23 Not the protagonist
The luxury car in front of me. At last year's annual meeting, Shangdao Qingyu once saw the car of the boss at the headquarters. Although the color is different, the car is pure black and the boss's car is blue, but the brand and shape are exactly the same, which makes Shangdao Qingyu's mind a little bit shocked.
In addition to subsidies in all aspects, Shangdao Qingyu, who only earns 280,000 yuan a month, silently calculated how many years he would have to save to buy this car. The young man who regarded himself as having great potential and could give more points and give advice easily drove out this car... At this moment, Shangdao Qingyu's three views were slightly subverted.
There are many things in this world that are not fair. Shangdao Qingyu knew this deeply and couldn't help feeling a little sad. However, in just a moment, these irrelevant emotions disappeared and walked over and said, "Xiao Liujun, your car is really good."
"It's okay. In fact, I don't like Bentley's type cars. Although I thought it was good at the beginning, I had a different view over time, especially when I was sitting in the driver's seat. If I could go back to the past, I would definitely refuse the bastard to give me this car... No, now isn't the time to talk about these things. Come to the island editor, please get in the car. By the way, I took two companions with me, right?" Xiao Liu shrugged indifferently, complained, and then said.
"Okay, it seems that this time I have gained your weight and experience the majesty of Bentley. Let's go, we go to the Sakura Hotel, and we booked one of the venues in the restaurant. This year's celebration will be held there." Qingyu Uchida said with a smile. In his heart, because of the amazing amount of information in Xiaoliu's words just now, he subconsciously continued: "Of course there is no problem. You are one of the protagonists, and there is still a little power."
As she said that, Shangdao Qingyu looked at the two beautiful girls in the back row, and was stunned again... One met, when she was submitting the article, the enthusiastic girl, the other, seemed to be a mixed-race child, and looked as beautiful as a doll. Who was it? She still remembered that when she called the phone a few days ago, it was answered by a very beautiful girl writer under her. What was their relationship? Shangdao Qingyu subconsciously guessed it.
"In the Sakura Hotel?" Xiao Liu was stunned for a moment, then said, "I don't know where. Will the editor on the island drive? Can you drive us there?"
"Oh? Do you want me to drive?" The editor of the island was stunned for a moment and said, "Of course I can drive. I am already twenty-eight years old. How could I not even have a driver's license? It's just that I'm a little worried about driving such a good car..."
"It doesn't matter, the quality of this car is still very good, not that delicate. Besides, I don't have a driver's license yet." Xiao Liu said, leaving the car door, opening the driver's seat door and said.
"Ha? Do you don't have a driver's license yet?" Aoshima said in surprise: "Then why did you drive?"
"Of course you can drive, but you don't have a driver's license. There was a driver who helped me drive, but now I'm in school, I fired the driver and didn't continue to use my car to pick him up and drop him off, so it's been vacant." Xiao Liu said.
"Is that true... But it's really a pity that such a car is vacant every day." Qingyu Uchida sat in the driver's seat, and acted cautiously. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This seat is really different, it's really comfortable.
Xiao Liu said: "I don't want to be a student again, I just want to be a little low-key."
"Okay. I'll send it to the Sakura Hotel for you." Qingyu Shangdao nodded and said, "What did you say to be a student again... Xiao Liujun is really a person with a story." Seeing that Xiao Liu didn't want to say more, he didn't continue asking.
Then Xiaoliu got on the bus and came all the way to the Sakura Hotel. This is the largest hotel in Kyoto. It is extremely luxurious. It has a total of 63 floors and covers a huge area. It has all the entertainment facilities inside.
The cars coming and going here are all high-end cars, and Xiao Liu's Bentley is not very conspicuous here.
Parked the car at the door of the Sakura Hotel, and Xiao Liu and his group walked into the Sakura Hotel.
Xiao Liu greeted a doorman, threw him a thousand yuan banknote and a string of medicine spoons, and said, "Help me park my car in the parking lot."
"Thank you, generous sir." The doorman looked at the one thousand yuan note in his hand and said with some gratitude.
"Sakura Hotel, when was the last time I came?" Misaki next to him said with emotion looking around.
"I haven't been here before." Zhenbai said expressionlessly.
"Have you been here yet? There are so many fun places here. I'll take you to play, Shiba Jiang." Misaki said excitedly.
Xiao Liu said from the side: "Don't run around, follow me."
Misaki heard this and complained: "Little Liujun is really tough. Such words will make girls hate it. You must be tolerant!"
Xiao Liu curled her lips and said, "I think for you, the so-called tolerance cannot be regarded as tolerance at all, but indulgence..."
Misaki said dissatisfiedly: "Why does it become a derogatory word on me!"
Xiao Liu also showed a confused expression and said hesitantly: "I'm also surprised, why is it?"
Shiina Mashiraki next to him thought for a while and said, "Because it's Sister Misaki?"
"NICE! It's really a good assist." Xiao Liu snapped her fingers and couldn't help laughing.
Zhenbai also smiled faintly, although she probably didn't understand where the laughter was...
"You two are too bad, you actually want to unite and complain about me!" Misaki said with some depression, and then said to himself in a middle school second: "Justice will always be troubled... Why? Because it is justice."
Shangdao Qingyu, who was walking in front, listened to the talking and laughing and fighting behind her, felt speechless. She thought this boy was a guy with good character, but now it seems... it looks a bit different, which is questionable. Is the name of that beautiful mixed-race girl Zhenbai? It's really a good name!
Soon, the three of them arrived at a venue in the restaurant.
There are more than 300 square meters here. In front of it, there is a stage with the words "Heroine the New Dream Club Dream Story" and "The 10th Anniversary of the Newcomer's Reward".
There were people talking on the top of the stage, and several reporters were taking pictures below.
Some publishers in the literary world and some powerful people in related fields of the literary world also arrived at this venue. At first glance, there were a large number of people.
Novels can be adapted into comics, radio dramas, games, movies, TV series, etc., and involve a wide range of fields. A top novel with more than 100,000 words can bring billions of benefits, which can make people from all walks of life move.
As a newcomer, Xiao Liu is naturally difficult to be paid attention to. It is like a drop of water blending into the sea. After entering the venue, it does not cause any fluctuations.
"I am the editor-in-chief of Kyoto Shinmeng Club, Suzuki. You are Xiaoliu Xiaoliu? Is this the first time I meet, please take care of me." Xiaoliu and the other four came to the corner of the venue. After a while, a middle-aged man came and said with a smile.
"Hello. I am Xiaoliu and Xiaoliu. I'm the first time I met, please give me some advice." Xiaoliu said politely and shook hands with the middle-aged man.
"Haha, Xinmeng Club has received two newcomers in a row. You young people are really enviable! In the future, it depends on you young people, and you have to work harder!" Suzuki Nao said familiarly.
"Of course." Xiao Liu nodded and said.
Suzuki's eyes showed a look of surprise. From the time he appeared, until now, this 18-year-old Little Liujun has no sense of tension at all, and is very dull, just like attending a family banquet... So, is it a natural fool or is it knowledgeable?
"Half an hour later, at the beginning of this banquet, Xiao Liujun needs to go to the stage to say a few words, which is the award speech this time. Just say whatever you want. Xiao Liujun is so calm, he should be full of confidence, right?" Suzuki asked with a smile.
"Yeah." Xiao Liu nodded, then looked at Misaki Uami with some concern. He was afraid that she would run over and make trouble with the writers who were familiar with them.
Fortunately, Misaki didn't go there. Although she looked around curiously, she just stayed quietly by her side and had no intention of leaving.
But Xiao Liu's actions seemed to make Suzuki a little unhappy. In fact, the newcomers who were so grateful that they were very frightened and frightened, even talking to him was Zhan Zhan Weiwei. When they saw Xiao Liu, who was like a famous guy, was a bit uncomfortable. He coughed and said, "Then Xiao Liu, please feel free, I look forward to your future."
Of course this was just a politeness. After saying that, Suzuki Sakuro turned around and left.
Standing next to Xiao Liu, Qingyu, a little nervous when she saw the editor-in-chief coming. When she looked at Xiao Liu's calm and composed look, she suddenly felt a little ridiculous, but when she saw the editor-in-chief leaving with some unhappiness, she immediately turned into a bitter smile... The personality of this Xiao Liu, like his writing style, is unique.
She wanted to say something, but she still closed her mouth.
Of course, Xiao Liu noticed this, shrugged her shoulders for no reason, and muttered in her heart, did this guy really treat himself as a character...
At this moment, a timid voice came over.
"Little Liujun..."
Xiao Liu turned around and found that it was Nagato August.
"You are here too?" Xiao Liu said with a smile.
Nagato August nodded.
"Who is she? Is Xiao Liujun's new love?" Misaki joked without hesitation.
Listening to this, Nagato Azuki's face suddenly turned red. He lowered his head and stammered and said something, but he couldn't say it out.
"Idiot, don't joke like this casually." Xiao Liu patted Misaki's head speechlessly.
"Ah? I'm sorry, I'm just kidding." Misaki looked at Nagato Azuki who almost cried, and suddenly panicked and said subconsciously.
"No...it's okay." Nagato August raised his head and said with a somewhat awkward smile.
"What's your name?"
"Nakamon August."
"Oh, my name is Misaki Uchi."
"Shina Mashira."
"Hello you guys." "Are you writing novels too?" Misaki asked curiously.
"kindness."
"What novel? What's the name?"
"Well... there are two books in total, one is "Wind Playing with the Worm" and the other is "The Cherry Blossoms Didn't Bloom in Kyoto that Year."
"Oh? I've read it, the latter book, "The cherry blossoms did not bloom in that year in Kyoto"!"
"Really?"
"Well, I like this novel very much!"
"Oh? Really? Thank you." Nagato August immediately looked at Misaki with some joy. The conversation between the two quickly heated up and they quickly became good friends...
However, Shiina Mashiro was a little indifferent to the topics of the two of them and stayed quietly beside Xiaoliu.
In this quiet and undisturbed corner, Xiao Liu looked at these three girls full of clear breath and drank some juice from time to time... It was not bad.
Soon, it was Xiaoliu's turn to play.
The host stood on the stage and said in a microphone: "Now, I would like to invite the winner of the first place in the newcomer of Mengzhishuo, Mr. Xiaoliu will come on stage!"
Sparse applause sounded.
Already prompted, Xiao Liu came to the stage near the stage and took the stage.
The camera lights suddenly lit up one after another.
Many people looked at Xiao Liu above, including the powerful people in the industry and well-known writers.
In a sense, Xiao Liu is the protagonist of this banquet today only at this moment.
From a realistic perspective, this congratulation banquet was purely a social meeting for industry experts, and it was difficult for Xiao Liu to have room for intervention.
Those judges who are well-known writers are the real protagonists of this banquet.
This can be seen from the fact that no one has paid attention to it just now, and only the editor-in-chief came over to talk.
However, this is the characteristic of the so-called "newcomer". If some newcomers who won the grand prize feel that they are about to soar to the sky and are the protagonists of the entire venue, it will be so sweet and naive. So what? No one is just a young man without popularity and nothing!
Xiao Liu has this self-knowledge... He understands this very well, but he is not at all worried about it.
Because in the near future, everything will be different.
He has the confidence to change all this.
Newcomer? Not being followed? Not being the protagonist? It doesn’t matter at all.
After obtaining the publication qualification this time, he believed that he would be pleased by these powerful people in the industry who did not pay attention to him, like God.
And now, just make the opening words or the award speech.
Chapter completed!
