The younger brother will die, the younger brother will die, the younger brother will die, the younger brother will die...

Typing non-stop, the screen was looping her inner curse.

While the girl was immersed in her inner world, the phone vibrated. She stopped and took out the phone, only to find that it was a message from the line.

Sister Yuan Zi: Xiaoshi, the sales volume of the second volume cannot be said to be excellent, so you have to be mentally prepared.

The sudden bad news just added fuel to her bad mood.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu bit her lip, tried her best to maintain her peace of mind, and typed on her mobile phone.

Xia Shizi: Got it, thanks for your hard work, Sister Yuanzi.

It's almost eight o'clock now, and Miss Wanzi, who is still working in the company, obviously works overtime for her sake.

Sister Yuan Zi: For editors, it is normal to work overtime. Let’s meet up tomorrow. Let’s meet and communicate about the follow-up of this book.

Xia Shizi: Okay, so should I go to the editorial department?

Sister Yuan Zi: No, let’s go to the old place. Can it be before four o’clock in the afternoon?

Xia Shizi: OK, I will be there on time.

After replying to the message, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu threw away the phone as if she was discouraged.

The whole person lay on the table, buried his face in his arms.

She turned off the computer, took out the first two volumes of sample books that had already been released from the bookcase, sat back at the desk, and read word by word.

What needs to be improved, I can only find the answer in the book.

With this in mind, Kasumigaoka Shiyu re-read her own work again, looking for improvements word by word.

But on the second day, even if I didn't sleep in class, but continued yesterday's behavior, I still didn't find the so-called loophole.

Surrounded by low air pressure, the girl did not continue to look for her juniors on the first-grade floor, but left the school and came to a coffee shop in the business district.

The name of the store is "Raul". The decoration of the store is more classical, and the sound of the piano is flowing on the radio. The guests in the store seem to be afraid of destroying the quiet atmosphere, and try to keep their voices down as much as possible when communicating.

The peaceful Kasumigaoka Shiwa likes this atmosphere very much, so she often comes to this cafe.

"Hello, is this a guest?"

He heard a somewhat familiar voice, but compared to this, Kasumigaoka Shiwa's mind was completely focused on the next conversation.

"No, it's two, my companion will be here in a while, is there any free table for two?"

"Okay, please come with me."

Following the guidance of the waiter, Kasumigaoka Shiyu came to an empty table for two and sat down without looking at the waiter who took the menu: "A cup of black coffee and a cup of espresso."

"Okay, thank you for your order."

Sitting on the chair, Kasumigaoka Shiyu stared blankly, recalling the previous events.

From the very beginning, it was just a coincidence that I saw a familiar novel publishing house holding a newcomer award from the forum, so I wrote a manuscript and sent it on a whim.

After that, her excellent writing style and detailed inner description for newcomers made her stand out among other works. Although she did not win the gold award in the end, she also won the bronze award, and she successfully got the opportunity to publish.

At the awards ceremony held by Undead River, the moment Kasumigaoka Shiyu took the stage to accept the award, she wanted to continue to go on in the literary creation industry from the bottom of her heart.Even after that, she chose the Department of Literature for her career interviews.

It's a pity that the good part stays at the moment of winning.

The sales volume of the first volume was dismal, but thanks to the bronze award, it was not reduced to the part that was cut in half. Then she learned from the pain, chatted with the editor all day, and then conceived for two weeks, and wrote the second volume in January.

Then, the second volume, which I had high hopes for, ended up like this.

Next, what to do?

Will the publishing house give itself another chance?

She took a sip of black coffee without sugar, and the bitter feeling spread from the tip of her tongue to her whole brain.

Just like your own mood.

"This guest, are you one?"

"No, I'm looking for a companion...ah, that's over there."

The whispered conversation also stood out in the quiet store. Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked up, and the short-haired blue-haired OL apologized to the customers in a low voice, and then went straight to her table.

"Sorry, Xiaoshi, senior let me read a manuscript temporarily, so I kept you waiting for a while."

Only then did Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu realize that the clock on the wall had already explained the time he stayed here.

So, has it been 10 minutes?

While apologizing, Sonoko Machida, the editor of Undead River who was affectionately called "Sister Sonoko" by Kasumigaoka Shiwa, drank the coffee that Kasumigaoka Shiwa ordered for her.

"Phew, iced coffee has a special flavor too."

Her bold posture made Kasumigaoka Shiwa think that she was drinking beer rather than coffee.

"Sister Yuanzi, can we get down to business?"

"Of course, let's take a look at the ratio of sales and printing." She took out the folder she was carrying, unfolded it, and took out a page of A4 paper: "A total of [-] copies have been printed, but so far, only [-] copies have been sold. book."

"It turned out to be a sudden death." As if talking about someone else's work, Kasumigaoka Shiyu maintained a calm expression.

According to the common sense in the industry, an average volume sales of [-] is a very good result. For newcomers, if the average volume can reach [-], they will be able to get resource support, and their publicity will exceed that of authors in the same period.

In fact, Kasumigaoka Shiwa, who won the Bronze Award, did enjoy the tilt of resources. On the sales day, many bookstores of the Undead River Publishing House put her works in a prominent position.

Lihui, posters, cover images, etc., are all pointing to his work "Love Metronome".

However......

Machida Sonoko smiled wryly: "It is not an exaggeration to say that it was a sudden death. In fact, only half of the [-] copies printed in the first volume have been sold."

"so what."

"Ah, I'm really sorry, although I tried my best to convince the editor, but..."

"Sister Yuanzi, please tell me the result."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu picked up the coffee, covered her face with the coffee cup, and pretended to be calm.

But Machida Sonoko, who was on the opposite side, clearly saw the slightly trembling figure of the girl.

"If sales don't pick up next week, it will be cut in half."

Unsurprisingly.

"Actually, this kind of thing is normal for new writers, you need to calm down now, and then..."

Kasumigaoka Shiwa couldn't hear the next words, she thanked Machida Sonoko like a walking dead, and then went to the counter to pay.

When handing the money to the clerk, the electric current appeared.

The cold body brought by depression was warmed in an instant, Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked up in surprise, only to find that annoying junior appeared in front of her eyes.

Why, it will be in... Hey!

She tried desperately to stop the shouting, but her body, which had already gotten used to it, disobeyed her orders. Every corner and every cell in her body was rejoicing, welcoming this joyful, addictive feeling back into her body.

Then, Kasumigaoka Shiyu almost "vomited" out the coffee he drank.

"see you next time."

Seeing the girl's tense muscles, Kamuihiro remained expressionless.

Chapter 23 After working

"you you......"

why are you here

And what is that feeling?

And...why are you always there every time I look embarrassed?

The swaying Kasumigaoka Shiyu could no longer maintain his calm face. For the first time, Kamui Hong clearly saw what it means to turn his face from red to green. Finally, the ashen-faced Kasumigaoka Shiyu shook off Kamui Hiro's hand with all his strength and rushed out. Cafe.

"Xiaoshi! Wait a minute, Xiaoshi!"

Seeing her losing her composure to this point, Machida Sonoko also yelled and chased after her, ignoring the request that the store must be quiet.

Seeing the searching eyes of the customers in the shop, Shenwei Hong could only apologize with a smile.

What is it all about...

But apart from this small episode, there were no disturbances in Shenweihong's part-time job trip. After three hours, Shenweihong's first part-time job trip ended smoothly.

"You did a good job, especially the skill of brewing coffee is quickly learned. Here, this is your salary for today." Handing the envelope to Shenweihong, the store manager smiled.

"No, it's just the siphon brewing method, and the store manager taught it very well."

Compared with the traditional follicles, the siphon type and the electric type are much simpler and more convenient. Of course, there are also many small-bourgeois customers who do not approve of this method. At this time, the store manager can only do it.But there are still a lot of ordinary people in this world, so Shenweihong has never met any troublesome guests.

After weighing it slightly, Shenweihong roughly knew the amount of money.

You have to ask why you can have this kind of skills that can only be mastered with years of experience in bank counters.

[Super power: ingenuity, your hands can have tentacle-like flexibility, side effects: the flexibility of your feet will decrease]

When Shenweihong saw this description, he wondered from the bottom of his heart whether this system was a bit unscrupulous. Since two days ago, the superpowers drawn every day have become more and more strange.

Thanks to this superpower, he fell three times in physical education class today.

Three times ah three times!

But it is also by virtue of this superpower that he is like a fish in water in the cafe where he works.

Needless to say, the basic cleaning work, in the last two hours when the kitchen was too busy, he also went to the kitchen to help, that is, at this time he learned the siphon brewing method, and the store manager also praised his learning speed Can't stop talking.

"It's troublesome to have a time limit for part-time jobs in high school. It would be great if you could work full-time. The next time we meet is two days away, so see you then."

"Okay, I will definitely be there on time." Smiling and nodding, Kamui Hong bid farewell to the store manager.

Not to mention the time limit for Nihong high school students to work part-time, the most troublesome thing is that the school and parents must sign, but this time Mr. Hiratsuka is surprisingly easy-going, but she doesn't want to look directly at him, which makes Kamui Hong somewhat puzzled.

This part-time job comes to the store only on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and sevens, and the hourly salary is doubled on Sundays. The store manager can open such a well-decorated coffee shop in the commercial district, so naturally he is not someone who is short of money, and his hands and feet are also generous. Indeed, above all peers.

That's why Shenweihong chose this coffee shop.
