Half an hour later.

After Fujiwara Chika, Shinomiya Kaguya and Iino Yako finished dividing Higashino Makoto’s lunch box and washed the lunch box, Higashino Makoto stopped typing.

The three girls, together with Hikigaya Hachiman, quickly gathered around.

As a result, they saw a series of English words in Office

“English novel? Fujiwara

Chika said in surprise:

“The president’s English is so good, it’s as if he was written by a British person.”

“hehe~~”

Higashino Makoto smiled and said nothing.

English is quite useful, not only for English exams, but also as his company develops and expands, it will definitely enter the international market, so it is worthwhile to exchange the two-dimensional points for English skills.

It is also because of the English skills exchanged by the system that Higashino Makoto is very comfortable writing in English without any writing difficulties.

As for why they want to write novels in English

, the four of them are reading freshly released novels. The three girls all have very good grades. Fujiwara Chika is even more proficient in five languages (her mother is a diplomat and has heard it since she was a child). Even Hikigaya Hachi���My liberal arts score is also ranked third in grade, so there is no difficulty in reading English.

“Yes, Minister?”

“Yes, minister?”

First they browsed the title, but this title confused the four of them.

What is this English novel about?

Then, when they finished reading the content of the novel, Iino Yako’s little face suddenly turned red.

Because she Why do the ministers in it look a bit like her during the debate just now?

They are all naive and cute.

But if you look closely, there are fundamental differences.

Although the minister Jim Harker in the novel is stupid and cute, She is cute, but has a killer instinct, and her moral integrity fluctuates, and her mind and methods are obviously more flexible and rounded than hers.

Appreciating the protagonist of the novel, Iino Yako was stunned.

Fujiwara Chika and Hikigaya Hachiman were directly stunned. Just laughed

“what is this?”

“The reason why Britain joined the European Community was actually to drive a wedge between Germany and France and thereby overwhelm France? France joined the EC to protect their useless farmers from competition? And Germany, which joined the European Community in order to clear its name of genocide and ask to rejoin human society?”

“Haha, isn’t this too harsh?”

“And this and this, the British defense policy is not to defend Britain, but to make the British believe that Britain is being defended. The Russians know that Britain does not have the ability to defend itself.”

Chika Fujiwara and Hachiman Hikigaya were reading and discussing, and laughter burst out.

Shinomiya Kaguya quietly listened to the discussion between Chika Fujiwara and Hachiman Hikigaya, while she moved behind Makoto Higashino without leaving a trace, and then lowered her head to face Higashino Cheng said:

“President, is this your next novel to be published?”

“Yes.”

Higashino Makoto smiled and nodded:

“《The”Detective Di Renjie” series has come to an end. This”Yes, Minister” is the novel I plan to publish next.”

This was also Higashino Makoto’s whim.

Then he did it.

The six volumes of”Detective Dee Renjie” novels made Higashino Makoto become Japan’s top mystery writer, and successively won the Naoki Award, the Edogawa Ranpo Award and the Akutagawa Award. Ryuunosuke Award.

For Higashino Makoto, who has a utilitarian character, the mystery genre novels have lost the value of further development. Next, it is time to try writing in other genres to gain wider recognition and higher social status..

So after the debate with Iino Yako just now, Higashino Makoto quickly thought of the British dramas”Yes, Minster (Yes, Minister)” and”Yes, Prime Minister (Yes, Prime Minister)” he had watched in his previous life.

These two Both British TV series in the same series expose British civil politics and profoundly criticize bureaucracy in the form of humorous comedy.

At first glance, it is a satirical comedy, but upon closer inspection, it is a documentary with full realistic meaning.

It can be called a British drama.

The pinnacle of the work, its artistic value is no less than that of China’s”Ming Dynasty 1566″.

It should be noted that”Ming Dynasty 1566″ can be called China’s number one drama.

On a certain platform, which worships foreigners and favors foreigners, 240,000 people have played It’s so scary.

“Yes, Minister” and”Yes, Prime Minister”, five TV series + one Christmas special, all have a rating of 9.8 in a certain category. You must know that this is a British political comedy. , there is a certain cultural gap with the Chinese, but it has still been widely praised. Its artistic and literary values can be regarded as the pinnacle of British dramas.

This is also the reason why Higashino Makoto writes in English instead of translating it into Japanese. 1.

Makoto Higashino is confident that he will adapt”Yes, Minister” and”Yes, Prime Minister” into English novels and publish them. As long as he finds a reliable channel to promote them, he will surely become an instant hit internationally and become an international humor comedy. Literary people.

If you are willing to spend money on publicity and public relations, even the Nobel Prize in Literature is not impossible.

After all, the Nobel Prize in Literature has been almost ruined by the Swedes in the past few decades. As long as he first heats up the popularity of the novel , and then give enough money, if it works properly, you have a chance to win.

After all, those awards in the West are just that, to put it bluntly. In capitalist countries, as long as they are willing to give money, they can even sell the noose used to hang themselves. , what’s the matter with selling a dynamite award?

(Don’t argue with me, the current Nobel Prize for Literature is almost ruined because of political correctness and unconventionality. Even singers and clinicians can award awards.)

Thinking of this, Higashino Makoto turned Turning around, he saw Shinomiya Kaguya hunched over, leaning her head against his shoulder. It seemed to be an inadvertent act of intimacy, but the shyness in the girl’s eyes revealed that she did it on purpose. It was indeed intentional.

When Higashino Makoto was just thinking about it, the girl looked at the young man’s serious thinking profile in trance.

Then looking at the auricle close at hand, Shinomiya Kaguya had an inexplicable urge to lick it.

She was like a slut.

Simply, the girl’s tutor gave her enough willpower to suppress this impulse, so it did not cause an accident on the spot.

When Higashino Makoto turned around, the girl hurriedly retreated like a frightened little animal. His hands were trembling behind his back, while his face pretended to be calm as he asked:

“President, what’s wrong?”

“That’s it, Kaguya, do you know any publishing distributors from abroad, especially those from Western Europe?”

“A publishing house in Western Europe?”

Shinomiya Kaguya was stunned for a moment, and then reacted:

“Does the president want to publish your new novel in Europe?”

“Preferably global distribution”

“Is that so?…”

When talking about business, Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly became less nervous.

The girl raised her left hand and brushed the ends of her hair, and then said thoughtfully:

“I remember that my family seems to have shares in the Bertelsmann Publishing Group, and there is a dispatched director to stay there. I think I can help the president build a bridge and let the other party take on the publishing and promotion work of the president’s new novel, right?”

“Bertelsmann Publishing Group?”

Hearing Shinomiya Kaguya’s words, before Higashino Makoto said anything, Iino Yako was shocked first

“Bertelsmann Publishing Group is the largest publishing company in Germany, and its Penguin Random House is among the top ten publishing houses in the world!”

“The Shinomiya Group actually owns shares in the Bertelsmann Publishing Group?”

“Hmm~~ They were all acquired by the group when it was developing its European business. After all, we need to control some media mouthpieces when developing markets abroad.”

Hearing Iino Yako’s shocked words, Shinomiya Kaguya smiled slightly, with an understatement, and inadvertently exuded the light of a top rich woman.

Higashino Makoto looked at Shinomiya Kaguya, blinked, and his heart suddenly became more determined. idea

‘I’m determined to eat this soft rice! ‘

PS: The picture shows the ratings of”Yes, Minister” of a certain film. They are all 9.8, which is outrageous.
