After all, he knew a college classmate who was also at the same table, and many people thought she was still a lost pupil...this kind of situation exists.

"...It seems that all the laws in Japan have been memorized, and there is no reason to refuse in all aspects. Is this girl really sixteen years old?"

Li Yan looked at the young girl sitting quietly in the living room with a helpless expression, and thought.

The girl sitting in the living room also observed the environment here.

A bachelor apartment, a bedroom, a living room, a small kitchen, and there are even special bathrooms, washrooms, and toilets that are separated from wet and dry. Living here should be quite comfortable.

But the strange thing is that the furnishings here are very shabby, the wallpaper is a bit old, the old air conditioner, the washing machine with a corner of paper, and the living room wall is covered with various schedules and piles. Textbook books, novel books and manuscripts...

【Da da da……】

Especially there is an old pendulum clock in the living room, which brings people back to the old atmosphere of the 1950s.

According to the preliminary analysis after collecting the information, this university writer lives in a simple life, has a simple personality, and has an uninteresting personality. He is a typical pragmatist, but his family seems to be good. He can afford to rent an expensive apartment in Shinjuku and study hard. , Writing novels is also very hard, but judging from the dust in some places, he always seems to be an author who likes to fish everywhere.

It is more consistent with the information collected on the Internet...

With some doubts, Li Yan politely kept a smile, put the mineral water in front of Alice, and said with a slight embarrassment: "Sorry... I don't know the refrigerator is empty. I can only ask you to drink a bottle of mineral water. Please forgive me."

This young girl obviously stared at this jar of mineral water for a while, was silent for a moment, then picked it up and unscrewed the lid, saying, "Thank you, it doesn't matter."

Li Yan could see it a little, and thought: "Just now I was a little wary of whether the lid was unscrewed, and he obviously didn't like unscented drinks. She seemed to be a girl used to drinking happy water."

After contacting this girl for a period of time, Li Yan preliminarily concluded that this baby-faced applicant was indeed very smart, and it was considered that he passed the first pass of his admission requirements.

"So, Classmate Alice, according to the information you gave, I agree that you have reached the age to be able to work, so it should not be too late. Let's start the interview."

Li Yan looked at this girl and recounted.

Alice nodded and said, "Okay."

Li Yan asked: "Do you know the current light novels? Have you read the novel stories of any author before? You also know that the most important thing to write a novel is to be interested, even if it is an assistant. The text is not interested in People are very boring. Can you tell me your thoughts on some works?"

The eyes of this girl under her eyebrows were as quiet as water. It seemed that she had expected this question a long time ago. She closed her eyes and replied confidently: "Yes, I have a very deep understanding of light novels. First of all, the concept of light novels does not actually exist in the official literary classification. It is a kind of light entertainment reading, and it can also be described as another carrier mode of comics. I have always been interested in story-based works. , My favorite work is "Forget Me Not" by Mr. Okamoto, and another is the science fiction "500 Years After the Disappearance of Humankind", and I also read "The Legend of the Demon Sword" by Mrs. Chijumura, Mr. Sasakura "Notebook on School Missing Incidents" and Uesugiyan's "Super Academy War" are all very hard-working works. Of course, a few of them are unpopular works facing the situation of being cut down."

"..."

Li Yan was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Okamoto's literary romance works could be seen by her. He himself admitted that Okamoto's works are indeed good, but because the market is too small, even high school girls can't see it. The shy literary and youth soap love drama, this young girl is watching.

On the other hand, he was a little concerned about the young girl's opinion of his book, and asked: "You mentioned the work "Super Academy War" just now. May I ask where you saw it and how did you feel after reading it?"

Alice took a sip of mineral water, thought about it, and then replied, "It's very interesting, this is a fact, but I also think that the author has some flaws..."

She tested Li Yan's reaction a bit.

On the contrary, Li Yan's reaction was embarrassment, consternation, and concern, completely revealing it, without disguising it.

Alice was also slightly taken aback.

This expression is completely a natural reaction from the author of a work. There is no calm and calmness at all, but there is [impossible] and [don't want to hear] emotions of resistance in it.

This person's reaction didn't stop at the slightest, but he showed it naturally.

"This is not the story itself. The story itself cannot satisfy all kinds of people with different preferences. The story is very interesting, especially the battle and plot arrangements are very clever, not only suppressed by force, but every battle itself It has the ability to test the attributes and the tactical coordination, but it is also very realistic to run directly. I personally like such novels..."

Alice turned her conversation and said calmly: "I always feel that the story is going to the back, and there are more and more characters. It is obvious that I can’t bear to let the important characters die in battle, and I am more and more concerned about the president Xin Heng Ning Ning. Popular characters, this is also very obvious. At the beginning, three volumes were published consecutively for two months to attract attention. As a result, the update time became one month apart, two months later, and finally three months to six months. This author is less and less short of money. However, I can see that the attitude of writing novels is very serious. I always feel that the author seems to delay the writing of the story because he is always busy with various things, which led to last year The release date has been postponed three times in a row. It seems that this trend will form the habit of closing the publication for no reason in the future. It is no wonder that I like to be stuck in the most critical and suspenseful story plot and make readers wait for the bad taste. Will be scolded for being old and not die."

Incisive, ugly, and accurate, even his follow-up plan was deduced, leaving Li Yan dumbfounded and helpless.

"Uh... uh... that..."

Li Yan glanced at the bottom of the table, then at the balcony, and he faintly explained: "In fact, it is not called dragging. The author has to delay the release due to a lot of temporary difficulties. This is called a strategic adjustment. , This also requires readers' understanding..."

"what……"

Alice became a little speechless. It should be said that the evaluation of a certain author in the Internet remarks is still very accurate. The integrity of the protagonist of the book does not mean that the original author is also this type of person.

Li Yan began to evaluate that this opportunity is absolutely difficult to meet again. It is indeed impossible to find an assistant who can accept an hourly salary of 940 yen in a short time and who has such excellent conditions.

Li Yan looked at the award-winning essay written by Alice again, and had to admit that this girl's writing style was indeed quite powerful, and now, he didn't even have the courage to refuse.

"Ahem..."

Li Yan finally stated the conditions that are most likely to scare away a group of people: "Well, Miss Alice, you have also seen that there are work schedules in the recruitment office, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday and Sunday. I have to come to work. I need to review and correct the 170,000 words of the manuscript’s typos and sentences. I also need to act as an intermediary to contact my editor to arrange work, and to help me manage Twitter readers’ messages and collect some information on writing. Working hours, Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 6:00 to 10:00 in the afternoon, Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 to 12 in the morning, is this okay?"

Li Yan's heartbeat began to accelerate, holding his breath, looking at this delicate and somewhat immature girl. Although this kind of work is easy and easy, it is also a bit boring, especially when an assistant is required to work until ten o'clock in the middle of the night, and few students are willing to go home that late.

"can."

Alice nodded and quickly agreed.

"?!"

Li Yan was taken aback and asked, "Can you really accept such a condition?"

"But, I also have three requirements. I hope that Mr. Li, as an employer, can consider it." Alice stretched out three fingers and said.

"...What conditions?"

"The first point is that I don’t need a salary. If I don’t have a salary, it won’t be considered as going out to work. This is my principle. The second point is that I’m not going to school now. Please don’t ask questions or interfere with my private life. The important thing is that I don’t have a place to live. The third point is that this is the most important thing. As a replacement for salary, I need three meals and a lot of DrPepper, so that’s it."

Alice’s blue pupils stared at Li Yan closely, closing a finger every time she said a condition, but she refused to let go of the last finger, exuding a strong feeling towards DrPepper. Obsession.

Let's not talk about what it is not to read, and what is DrPepper. Simply not wanting the wage condition, Li Yan felt that this condition was too abnormal.

"Wait?"

Li Yan blinked and seemed to understand some details. He looked at Alice’s one-meter-high black suitcase, and asked in astonishment: "May I ask, what's the matter with this suitcase, you don't... won't you plan to live in my house directly?"

The girl in the black gothic dress nodded and said, "Yes, that's it. It's only a while. Don't worry, I will bring other daily necessities."

The breeze was blowing on Li Yan's astonished face. In the tradition of Japanese creative circles, do assistants need to live under the same roof with the author to cultivate a tacit understanding of cooperation? !

"No, absolutely not, I will be caught by the police!"

Li Yan noticed something wrong, and immediately shook his hands and refused to say.

...

At 6:15 in the afternoon, a delivery truck stopped downstairs in the apartment, and two porters from the moving company began to carry boxes after boxes of cartons into Li Yan's sundries room.

"..."

Li Yan looked helpless.

Let’s not say that I really plan to spend the rest of the time for review, and I also use the most concentrated energy to create the last volume. Alice said [homeless], plus [Uesugiyan-sensei does not plan to take me in] this Under the hint of, he could only reluctantly compromise.
