The newspaper will not be difficult in this regard.

"What about two?"

Bai Gui asked.

He just heard clearly that Ryuko Tanabe said that the Asahi Shimbun had put forward two conditions.

To be honest, the first condition was not too harsh, and was actually of some benefit to him. As for the second point, he became a little curious.

"The second is to ask you to take a job at the Asahi Shimbun as a editorial commentator."

There was a layer of coffee stains on Tanabe Ryuko's lips. Under the light of the cafe, she looked intellectual and beautiful.

This is a woman who is good at taking advantage of opportunities to spread her charm.

"Social commentator, is there any benefit?"

Bai Gui was also a little surprised. Asahi Shimbun often invites well-known writers and celebrities to serve as editorial commentators to evaluate some social news and current affairs news. This seems to be an inconspicuous position.

But once there is, it is equivalent to being promoted to a social celebrity.

They are similar to the editors of the commentary section of the Democratic Progressive Newspaper, except they have more freedom.

A temporary job!

With this position, most people can't do anything to him even if they want to.

It is equivalent to sheltering under the banner of Asahi Shimbun.

Japan at this moment is very different from the shogunate era. The merchant class of townspeople became very powerful and replaced the samurai class. The two are no longer the same. To be more extreme, the power behind Asahi is equivalent to the plutocratic power in Japan's later period.

warrior?

That's the end of the old days!

Attack some forces and win over some forces.

It is impossible for Bai Gui to offend everyone in Japan. It is enough to offend the samurai. Anyway, everyone is shouting for beatings now, but it is different if he offends the Japanese chaebol...

In addition, the "Asahi Shimbun" at this time was one of Japan's three major newspapers alongside the "Yomiuri Shimbun" and "Mainichi Shimbun".

The president behind Asahi, Murayama Ryuhei, is the king of Japanese news.

"I applied for this specially for you."

"Forget about what happened before, you have to thank me for this!"

Tanabe Ryuko chuckled and handed him a letter, which was an employment letter from Asahi Shimbun to Shiro Gui.

Bai Gui thanked him endlessly.

"There's no need to be so grateful..." Ryuko Tanabe saw Bai Gui's sincere expression, covered her mouth and giggled, "Asahi asked you because you are an international student and can evaluate some things more objectively."

"identity?"

Bai Gui somewhat understood. Newspapers cannot only recruit commentators from their own country. Some matters will appear more objective when foreigners comment on them. However, the Asahi newspaper's policy is to be "non-partisan and impartial", so there is no need to worry about bad things.

Even if there is, just resign when the time comes.

Anyway, it's a temporary job, and if it involves some things, I'll ask him to comment on it and give me some remuneration.

"This is the novel writing material Asahi gave you, please put it away."

Ryuko Tanabe handed over another envelope, which was very thick.

Bai Gui's Great Qin Empire has released four issues, and Asahi also wants the copyright. The original manuscript of the novel can be taken from the four issues of the Democratic Progressive Newspaper, so the polishing materials given were only from these four issues.

A total of three hundred and sixty yen.

A lot of income.

As Bai Gui became famous in one fell swoop, major writers and literary figures came to the fore, and then the Asahi Shimbun published the novel about the Qin Empire. The name Bai Gui not only has a certain reputation in Japan, but is also well-known among students studying in Japan. Some Qing literary giants who pay attention to current affairs in Japan also noticed this newcomer.

Embassy in Japan.

"The Great Qin Empire is reforming to become stronger... take a closer look, is there any chaos involved?"

Minister Wu said to some clerks in the embassy.

He planned to report this matter to Yanjing, so as to enhance the prestige of the Qing Dynasty. At the same time, this is also a good performance of his management as the minister in Japan. After all, No. 1 High School is a school that he personally manages...

But I am afraid that something unexpected might happen if there is information about the rebellious party.

That's a mistake!

"Mr. Hui, there is nothing involved in the rebellion. They are all based on historical facts and describe the contents of Qin Xiaogong and Shang Yang's reforms."

The clerk replied.

"That's good!"

"I will discuss it with Ambassador Hu later, but it is too late. I will send a telegram now to send this message to the Shanghai Stock Exchange. You, also take this issue of the novel, the Asahi newspaper and other materials to the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and then sit down Train, hurry up and arrive at Yanjing..."

Minister Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

The fee for sending a telegram is eight cents per word, plus two cents and four cents for every province. Confidential and foreign texts are charged double. Therefore, it would cost dozens of oceans to send one or two sentences, and the embassy generally could not afford it.

Just as he was leaving the office, there was a sound outside the door.

"Brother Chu, I finally see you."

A young man in a suit and leather shoes walked over, followed by a girl in a pink and white dress. When the young man walked two or three steps away from Minister Wu, he suddenly gave him a bear hug. He was very friendly and seemed to be an old friend.

"Brother Xiongqi, aren't you studying abroad at the University of Munich in Germany?"

"Oh, look at my memory. You have just graduated. It is late October. You came from Germany by boat. The time is right..."

Minister Wu slapped his head with a smile on his face: "I've forgotten everything."

A considerable number of international students who have returned from studying abroad often choose to stay in Japan for a while before returning to their home countries. Firstly, they want to inquire about domestic news. After all, the domestic situation changes too fast, and secondly, they also want to prepare for their return.

Therefore, Minister Wu believed that Bai Xiongqi was also like this.

He was also a German student in his early years, but he returned to China earlier and was sent abroad as a minister.

"Anyway, my brother was too busy with work at first, so it's understandable that he was too busy."

Bai Xiongqi took off his windbreaker and placed it on the clothes rack in the embassy. He was wearing a close-fitting European-style suit underneath. He saw the nearest newspaper on the table and held it in his hand, reading it while talking.

"Your master, Jin Quan, is the Minister of Military Aircraft. After you studied in Germany, you will definitely be entrusted with important responsibilities after you return to China."

Minister Wu smiled lightly.

"What happened? Isn't it settled yet?"

Bai Xiongqi shook his head. He also wanted to return to China as soon as possible, but he couldn't rush it. In ancient times, there was a shortcut to Zhongnan, and now studying abroad is also up for grabs. If he waits for his teacher to make arrangements later, he can return to China and hold a high position, otherwise If you return home too soon, your appointment will no longer be guaranteed after the official selection.

Therefore, it is just right to stay in Japan for a while.

"This is?"

Minister Wu noticed the girl who was following Bai Xiong as he stood up.

A ginkgo-colored shiny printed satin dress with a sweetheart neckline, revealing a small piece of a water-red thin silk shirt in front of the chest. On the shirt, there is another string of pearl necklaces, which is very gorgeous.

"My sister-in-law, Xiuzhu, just came back from my sister's country. Please come back with me."

Bai Xiongqi introduced.

Something unexpected happened!

No one expected that Bai Gui, who had just "showed weakness", would suddenly draw his sword. They thought that this time the competition at the Yagyu Kendo Club would end there.

It came too suddenly.

Yagyu Sheng didn't expect it. His pupils shrank suddenly and he retreated backwards, first dodging the approaching sword. But because he was unprepared this time, he was taken advantage of, and the momentum he had just cultivated was suddenly interrupted, and some mistakes were unprepared for.

For a powerful swordsman, the moment when he draws his sword is crucial!

He was cornered and was unable to draw his sword.

Bai Gui, who was approaching Yagyuichi, merged his sword and hand into one, and kept biting him, trying to snatch Yagyuichi's staff and sword. The tip of the bamboo knife kept touching Yagyuichi's right hand that held the sword.

Piguaquan - become a goose hand!

This is a sword technique taken from Pi Guaquan, with the goose beak biting tightly.

Once Yagyu encountered such a scene, he was beaten to such an extent that he had no room for mediation. He was unable to draw his sword and was forced to go on the defensive.

"First attack your mind and destroy your spirit!"

"Take your knife again!"

"Senior Yagyu, what do you think of this junior's advice to you?"

Bai Gui spoke very quickly while typing.

Raid, no, these two words are too ugly, he was unprepared!

Anyway, he had already said before that this time it was for the wish of senior Zen Yagyu, and it was not intended to be a competition. Whether he made a surprise attack or not was not that important. Moreover, he had already beaten so many people, so taking the lead would not seem so despicable. .

Once Yagyu's face turned colder, he pursed his lips tightly, took off the belt carrying the staff and sword, and pushed the tip of the sword forward without avoiding the goose's beak, hitting Bai Gui's elbow side.

This is the flaw of this move.

No matter how powerful the goose's beak bites, its weak point lies in the goose's neck.

"Young man, don't be too young and arrogant. No matter how much you take the lead, you are no match for me!"

"Young and energetic?"

"Senior Yagyu, you are wrong. Some people have said that I am too stable. It would be better to let me be more arrogant!"

After a few moves, relying on his intuition from fighting on the battlefield, Yagyu immediately saw the weakness.

But when the stick sword was pushed, Bai Gui did not avoid it. Instead, he leaned forward and clamped the blade of the stick sword with the belly of his left elbow. Once he was less than half a step away from Yagyu Sheng, he held the bamboo sword behind his right hand. Knock it hard with the handle of the bamboo knife.

Knocked Yagyu once's chin.

As if being hit by a heavy hammer, once Yagyu took a few steps back, by the time everyone saw clearly, his lower jaw was deformed and his mouth and nose were bleeding.

"Since Senior Yagyu doesn't want to give more advice to this junior, then today's battle will end here! If you want to challenge this junior again, please formally challenge in the newspaper and don't engage in these silly things..."

"I wonder what Yagyu-senpai thinks?"

"I forgot, Yagyu-senpai doesn't like to talk!"

Bai Gui took back the bamboo knife, shook his head and sighed.

He looked at the blood stains on the bamboo knife with some disgust, abandoned the sword and walked away.

Clang, clang, echoes echoed.

Walk out of the Japanese house.

"Brother Meihe's move is really satisfying."

"I didn't expect these Japanese warriors to be so despicable and bully the small ones..."

"..."

Liurisheng, who gathered around Bai Gui, said with a smile.

One humiliation and the same humiliation, one glory and the same glory.
