Chapter 367 Their Saturday

After confirming the specific date of the concert, time seemed to have wings. Half a month flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the end of April.

It was [-] o'clock in the morning on Saturday, in the booth of the Magic Cafe under the Baiyuanchuan Building.

"At this point, today's mission comes to an end for the time being."

Carefully putting away the reprint contract signed by Kitagawa Che, Kamino Kaoru put down his briefcase and let out a breath of relief.

Since Beichuan's works started to sell out, she, who was originally a marginal figure in the editorial department, suddenly became a hot "veteran editor", with various submissions coming in one after another.

In the past, she was thinking about where to establish contact with new authors. Now she is thinking about how to arrange a meeting time so that she can complete the day's appointment as soon as possible.

Just like what Kitagawa Teru wrote in "Listen to the Wind Sing", human desires are always infinite. When there is not enough food and clothing, all the thoughts are about is how to food and clothing. But after satisfying this After the basic conditions are met, all kinds of desires and worries will come up one after another. Life is like this, days follow each other, and problems follow problems.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Seeing Kamino Kaoru's exhausted look, Kitagawa Che comforted her.

He is quite familiar with how busy Kamino Kaoru is.

After all, they chat online from time to time.

Most of the conversation was about work, and occasionally they would mention each other's lives.

But when it comes to life, Kaoru Kamino talks most of the time.

In this process, he also roughly understood Kamino Kaoru's work schedule for the week.

From being ignored by others to wanting to borrow the cat's hand, it can only be said that what is gained will be lost.

"This is my job." Kaoru Kamino raised his head and smiled slightly, "What's more, it's a good thing to be busy at work. It's better than staying in the office in the desert and not knowing what to do."

Hearing this, Kitagawa Che nodded in understanding.

Just listen to this kind of words.

If it was true what she said, then the tired look on her brows wouldn't be so heavy.

In the workplace, a colleague who suddenly falls behind in performance suddenly rises to the top. Even if the company does not have such a strong tendency for comparison, that is, there is no so-called KPI performance appraisal system, colleagues will still have different ideas.

Jealousy, surprise, envy... various emotions will occur in different people, and then these external emotions will be fed back to Kamino Kaoru in various forms.

And this only comes from colleagues.

As for work, there are even more worries, let alone being engaged in the profession of editing physical books.

This kind of work only brings more troubles.

Anyway, to be fair, Kitagawa Che thought he couldn't do this job well.

He doesn't have that much patience.

"That's right." Kaoru Kamino rubbed the bridge of his nose as if he remembered something, and then asked, "What plans do Teacher Kitagawa have next?"

"Arrangement?" Beichuan Che was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "Yes."

He has already made an appointment with a certain girl.

Or to be more precise, on Wednesday of this week, he had already promised someone else.

"Then it can only be done next time?"

Kamino Kaoru smiled bitterly, with a bit of helplessness in his eyes.

She originally wanted to invite Kitagawa Che to have lunch, but as of now, it seems that this invitation that has been proposed since the beginning of the year has to be postponed again.

"We do have an appointment this time."

Kitagawa Che smiled apologetically.

He could tell that his editor really wanted to treat him to a meal, but the problem was that he did have an appointment today, and he probably wouldn't be able to get away in a short time.

"Then definitely next time!"

Kamino Kaoru put away the expression he had just shown, winked rather playfully, and then packed up his things.

She knew Kitagawa Che's temperament and knew that this young and mature young man would not lie about this kind of thing.

Since he had an appointment, he could only 'leave with regret'.

However, it is also good.

This leaves about an afternoon to catch up on sleep.

Since the release of "Love Letter", her daily workload has been increasing day by day.

Those literary and artistic young people who were influenced by Beichuan's works were as if they had been given a shot of blood. One after another, submissions piled up in her mailbox.

Just reading the manuscript every day required squeezing out almost all of her free time, and she was even forced to work overtime at night until two o'clock in the evening before she could barely read it.

Fortunately, President Baiyuan also realized that she had a lot of work and gave her more freedom and convenience, so that she would not squeeze her sleep time to less than six hours a day.

"Then, shall I leave first?" Picking up the briefcase, Kamino Kaoru stood up, "I have nothing to do in the afternoon, so I can get off work a little early today."

"be careful on the road."

Beichuan Che nodded and responded politely.

"Okay, bye."

"Goodbye."

After saying goodbye to each other, Kaoru Kamino hurriedly left the cafe.

For her, her exhaustion was reaching its limit.

If nothing unexpected happens today, she will be able to sleep peacefully for a long time.

After Kamino Kaoru's figure completely disappeared outside the glass window, Kitagawa Che took a sip of the lemonade in front of him, then stood up, holding the cup, and walked to another place to be quiet, but he could barely See inside the deck here.

"Wait a long time?"

After sitting down, Kitagawa Teru raised his head and looked across the table at Rina Toshima, who was supporting her chin with her left hand on the table, gently biting a plastic straw in her mouth, and poking a piece of dessert with a fork.

"It's not that long, it's just..."

Rina Toshima replied subconsciously.

and many more……

Why is this voice so familiar?

Rina Toshiro frowned and raised her gaze.

Those beautiful eyes reflected Kitagawa Che's face.

Che! ?

"You and I……"

Rina Toshima blushed all of a sudden, and then quickly released the plastic straw in her mouth, put down the fork in her hand, and sat up straight.

He looked like he was in a daze in class, only to be called upon by the teacher to answer a question.

She really didn't expect that things with Beichuan Che would end so quickly.

In her mind, a conversation like this with the editor should theoretically last a long time.

Each other will chat, argue, or fight over some small clauses in the contract and some trivial matters.

But no matter what, this is not something that can be discussed in just half an hour.In this regard, she is no mere amateur.

At the beginning, she also accompanied Baiyuan Shizhi to talk to the editor.

She was deeply impressed by the editor responsible for Baiyuan's poems.

Of course, it's a good impression.

The editor was not mean or deliberately making things difficult. He had a very strong work attitude and ability. The whole meeting went very smoothly with almost no arguing.

But even so, it took a full hour and a half from the beginning to the signing of the contract.

"You? Me?" Kitagawa Che repeated her stumbling words and teased her with a smirk, "Does our Rina sister still want to wait a little longer?"

What he just saw clearly was Rina Toshima poking at the dessert with a look of boredom.

Of course, I'm not laughing at her, or feeling that this state of affairs is a bit too rude.

I just simply think this girl is very cute and has a sister-next-door style.

After all, if Rina Toshima hadn't been so carefree and occasionally childish in private, they wouldn't have gotten to know each other so quickly.

"Then I definitely don't want to."

Rina Tashiuchi pouted. She prided herself on being very patient at work. She was also very patient when shopping, but only when she was waiting for someone, especially when she was waiting for Kitagawa Cheru. Sometimes, she always feels that her days are like years.

It was obviously hard to get the chance to go out alone with him.

Even if there is a period of time when you are not alone, such an opportunity is quite rare.

As a result, the little time alone was consumed by inexplicable things.

Just thinking about this made her feel very anxious.

However, anxiety is anxiety, and understanding is understanding.

She understood the priorities and hoped that Kitagawa Che could handle his affairs well.

After all, one code equals one code.

"So." Kitagawa Che shrugged and said something beautiful in a subtle way, "In order to prevent our Rina sister from waiting too long, I have to speed up a little."

After the words fell, Rina Toshima's natural expression that had just calmed down suddenly turned red again.

"Fool!"

She lowered her eyebrows and whispered in a voice that only she could hear.

Although she already knows that Kitagawa Che has such a temperament and will suddenly give you some love words that people can't even imagine, she will still feel embarrassed when they actually meet him.

After all, for a person who is always a bit straight-forward to say such love words is really too lethal.

call.

After taking several deep breaths, Rina Toshima put away her shy look, raised her eyebrows, and looked at Kitagawa Cheru in front of her seriously, "It's time to rest, and it's time to work. When you’re working, you can’t be anxious at times like this, do you understand?”

If Kitagawa Che had given up part of his interests just to keep her from waiting for so long, then she would be quite guilty.

"Don't worry, what Rina-sama was worried about didn't happen."

Seeing Rina Toshima's expression, Kitagawa Che immediately understood what she meant and immediately explained.

The contract given to him by Baiyuanchuan Library made quite a lot of concessions in terms of interests. In other words, it was quite generous.

In other words, there is actually no room for discussion or modification, because what should be discussed was clearly written in the original contract.

This time he came to sign the contract. To put it bluntly, it was just a process.

As an author, he has the necessity, responsibility and qualification to be clear about the republication of his works. At the same time, it is good for both the publisher and the author to make something clear.

This can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble and misunderstandings.

"That's fine."

After hearing what Kitagawa Che said, the stone in Rina Toshima's heart fell to the ground.

If he really said something just for the sake of speed and subconsciously ignored some terms, then she would definitely be happy and distressed at the same time.

The good thing is that he cares about his own feelings, but the sad thing is that he lost what he should get in order to take care of his own feelings.

"Next, it's still a while before lunch time, what do you think?"

Kitagawa Che raised his eyebrows and asked Rina Toshiro in front of him what he meant.

To be honest, he had little experience in planning such a solo trip, and he was somewhat unfamiliar with it.

Myo Eshima helped him make many plans for the previous appointments.

It is no exaggeration to say that it really helped him a lot.

If he really had to do it by himself, it would probably be a simple two-piece package of movies and meals.

As for anything else, he really couldn't think of it.

"Just sit here for a while."

Rina Toshima lowered her eyebrows, picked up the coffee spoon, and stirred the coffee in the cup unhurriedly.

For her, now that Beichuan Che has returned, her anxious heart will naturally calm down.

The rest of the time, whether you go shopping or just drink coffee here, is actually the same.

Anyway, as long as she has him, that's enough.

"What about Sister Hoshino?"

Kitagawa Che looked at Rina Toshima with some helplessness and asked this question.

This meal was actually the result of Hoshino Ai contacting him and saying that he wanted to treat him to lunch, as a way of thanking him for his generosity.

"Her?" Rina Toshima stopped moving her hands and pursed her lips, "She is probably still sleeping at the moment."

Last night, Hoshino Ai was on duty.

Although I slept for a while, it was definitely not enough to not even think about sleep time.

So as soon as she got off work this morning, she said she wanted to catch up on her sleep and would wake up around 11:30. After waking up, she would go straight to the place where she was going to have dinner.

When the time comes, just meet at the restaurant.

"...Can she really get up at noon?"

A trace of worry flashed across Kitagawa Che's eyes.

He knew the nature of Hoshino Ai's work and the reason why he stayed up late.

However, if a tired person really falls asleep, he may not be able to wake up in just two or three hours.

Maybe, by the time she opened her eyes again, it would be three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

"It should be no problem." Rina Toshima raised her head, raised the corners of her mouth unconsciously, and added with a double entendre, "If she doesn't get up, it's okay. Anyway, the meal account will be charged to her. .

"We just have to be responsible for eating!"

What's more, wouldn't it be nice if three people ate instead of two people?
This way, she could have more alone time with him.
