Chapter 53 Victory or defeat is not on the battlefield

After taking the note, Jiang Jing looked at the woman opposite who had no intention of getting up and leaving, but was drinking tea elegantly and calmly, and said a little curiously.

"By the way, those bookstores and many billboards during this period are vigorously promoting the light novel fighting competition champion work."

"Even Sei Senjumura, a multi-million-selling author, lost to him. The advertisement states that this work will be released together with the top three award-winning works tomorrow."

"There is also a youth campus celebration event. Although it is not as popular as the martial arts competition, it is still lively. Several famous campus romance authors have released new books, which will be released tomorrow."

"These are all activities of your library. I heard from Editor Iida that they all seem to be directed at you. Aren't you in a hurry right now?"

"As the author of this work, Mr. Kanda, you are not in a hurry. Why should I be in a hurry?" Yuriko Uemura gently put down the tea cup, her beautiful face faintly showing the confidence and pride of having the pearl of wisdom in her hand.

"And as long as it's within the rules, I don't take these little tricks to heart at all."

"I have read the three award-winning works of the martial arts competition. They are indeed good. Especially the one that won the championship is dedicated to describing my sister. It is very in line with the preferences of some people today."

"However, the style of this work does not conflict much with Kanda-sensei's work, so you don't need to pay too much attention to it."

"As for the campus youth celebration event that I collaborated with Immortal Sichuan, the group of people invited were said to be emerging celebrities, but in fact they were just romance novel writers with average grades, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

Having said this, Yuriko Uemura's red lips slightly raised, and she chuckled meaningfully: "Actually, my goal this time is very small, as long as the online publishing department has a three-million-selling work before July." ”

"The quality of your works, Mr. Kanda, coupled with Dengeki Bunko's channels throughout the Neon Prefecture, has been vigorously promoted by more than 100 bookstores in more than 40 counties and cities in Kyoto."

"I'm confident that we don't have to wait for July. After the third volume is released at the end of May, maybe we can reach this goal by mid-June, so there is nothing to worry about."

This sentence seemed to be said to Jiang Jing, but also seemed to be said to herself. After saying this, Yuriko Uemura's sharp eyes became more confident.

"Uh... your goal is actually so small." Jiang Jing blinked and was a little surprised. After spending so many resources and vigorously promoting it, he didn't expect Yuriko Uemura's request to be so small.

"There are some things that you don't know, Mr. Kanda, so you won't understand." Yuriko Uemura smiled faintly. "Sometimes, the outcome on the current battlefield is actually not important."

In the suburbs of Kyoto, there is a luxurious manor with small bridges and flowing water, dense gardens, and uncanny rockeries dotted among the shades of trees, which is pleasing to the eye.

However, in this extremely large private courtyard, security guards wearing black suits and indifferent expressions walked past from time to time, but they were incompatible with the natural and harmonious courtyard.

In the reception hall, a young man in his thirties with an extraordinary temperament and a touch of nobility was sitting on his knees. Opposite him was an old man with a sharp face and neatly combed white hair.

Behind the two people, several well-dressed attendants were kneeling on their knees. On one side, a beautiful woman in a lotus kimono slowly poured tea for them.

The faint fragrance of tea overflowed, and the old man's turbid and calm eyes looked at the young man opposite him, and said slowly: "Taro hasn't been back for a year. He just came back to Kyoto and came to see me without even going home. I don't think so." You're simply here to visit my old bones."

Opposite him, Shintaro Uemura smiled faintly, with sincerity on his gentle and jade-like face, and said calmly and harmoniously: "My third uncle is away from home. Isn't it right for the younger generation to come and visit you?"

"It just so happened that I got some good tea in Yunnan this time, and invited Chieko, the master of Urasenjia tea ceremony, to come here specially to treat my third uncle to taste."

"If you really think so, then we will just reminisce about old times today and nothing else." Uemura Ikatsu glanced at Shintaro Uemura opposite, then picked up the tea cup, took a sip, closed his eyes and savored the tea carefully.

"My third uncle decides everything." Shintaro Uemura smiled and picked up the teacup.

After a long time, Uemura Ikatsu slowly opened his eyes and praised: "Good tea, good tea ceremony."

"It seems that Chieko did not disappoint my third uncle."

As he spoke, Shintaro Uemura cast an admiring look at the beautiful woman beside him, and a touch of tenderness suddenly appeared in the beautiful woman's eyes.

Next, Shintaro Uemura did as he said. He just greeted Uemura Ikatsu, reminisced about old times and talked about what happened in Kyoto this year. On the surface, the atmosphere was very pleasant.

However, when it was almost noon, Shintaro Uemura shook his head and sighed. He bowed slightly to Katsu Uemura and said seriously: "Taro's calming skills are still not as good as those of my third uncle."

From his serious face, no one could tell whether he was really inferior or fake.

Stroking the few beards on his chin, Kamimurai Katsu didn't look complacent or proud, and said calmly: "If you have anything to ask, just ask. For your mother's sake, if you can tell me, I will tell you." You, but don’t expect anything you can’t say.”

"Thank you, third uncle."

Shintaro Uemura bowed deeply, then sat up straight: "I wonder how my grandfather has been doing in recent years."

"Eat well and sleep well. According to his doctor, his condition is under control and he will have no problem living for a few more years." Uemura Ikatsu said calmly.

Shintaro Uemura's eyes flashed slightly, and he continued to ask: "I wonder how the other seven elders and younger brothers are doing. Have any of them come back early?"

Uemura Ikatsu said calmly: "These two questions you asked are too general, but it doesn't hurt to tell you."

"Among the eight of you, the ones with the best results in the past two years are you and Ichitaro. Although the others can do well, their structure is too small to take on big responsibilities."

"And Ichitaro came back half a month ago and has already met his eldest brother. He is very happy with Ichitaro's performance."

"Oh, by the way, Ichitaro often went to the second brother's place during this period. The second son was in charge of the family's energy in the underground societies in Kyoto. He should have known about your return by now."

Uemura Shintaro's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a calm expression on his face: "As expected of my elder brother."

Regardless of whether Shintaro Uemura truly admired him or was hiding it, a sharp light suddenly appeared in Uemura Ikatsu's cloudy eyes and he looked directly at Shintaro Uemura.

"Actually, among you brothers, I am more optimistic about you."

Shintaro Uemura was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "My third uncle was joking, my surname is just Uemura."

The light in his eyes receded, and Uemura Ikatsu said calmly, "Okay, I've told you what I can tell you."

"Yes, thank you very much, Uncle Third Uncle. Shintaro will not disturb Third Uncle's rest." Shintaro Uemura, who heard the intention of seeing off the guests, bowed slightly, said goodbye and stood up.

"I think you should go see your sister first. After Ichitaro came back, she seemed to be being targeted at Dengeki Bunko. I heard that Sanshou's cousin who manages the library is getting engaged to Ichitaro."

Shintaro Uemura paused and bowed deeply to Katsu Uemura again: "Thank you, uncle, for informing me."

Chapter 54 Average results

On May 1st, in the early morning, Shiina Mashiro, who had been hiding upstairs drawing comics until late at night, ran down with messy hair.

Today, Shiina Mashiro was wearing a white pajamas on her upper body and a short skirt on her lower body. She opened the door with her slender legs and came to Jiang Jing and said confusedly: "Sarta, your hair is messed up."

At this time, Jiang Jing had already gotten up and was squatting on the ground to scratch the belly of the white cat Xiaoguang. The kitten sleeping on his belly before dawn suddenly made an uncomfortable sound.

Jiang Jing, who was awakened, could tell at a glance that he had eaten too much fish last night, which caused some indigestion.

Jiang Jing glanced at the sky outside the window. It was only after six o'clock in the misty and bright sky. Then he looked back at Shiina Mashiro and asked curiously: "Why did you get up so early today?"

"Misaki said that your book will be released today. Let's go to the bookstore and read it together." Mashiro Shiina said with a nasal sound in her voice as she rubbed her sleepy eyes.
