Chapter 646: Passing the Buck

"Ah! It's done! I got it!"

Eri looked at Hojo Kyosuke's face, clasped her hands together and clapped them gently, her face beaming with joy.

Her cute and lovely appearance made everyone at the table laugh, only Mrs. Sayuri's smile was a bit forced. If it weren't for the fact that her daughter was grown up and she had to give her some face, she would have to immediately use her iron fist to inject spirit into her.

Hojo Kashiko next to her hurriedly dropped the bread in her hand and clapped her hands in the same way:

"Ah! It's done! I got it!"

The voice was full of milk foam, but it imitated Eriri's silliness vividly. This instantly made Eriri look at this little thing with a new look, and she tried to lean over from the long table to clap hands with Kashiko. The little girl was stunned at first, then raised her hands and cheered again.

"Is this a new record for the Reasoning Association Award?" Mrs. Yukinoshita said with a smile.

"Ah? Really? I didn't know that."

Hojo Mikiko smiled carelessly, and the smile on her face has never faded today.

Yukinoshita on the side pursed her lips, clenched her two small fists tightly, and tried her best to suppress the urge to popularize science. She was about to speak, but when she opened her mouth, she saw the half-smile of the sister opposite. That was really half-smile, obviously no matter whether the corners of the mouth were raised or the apple muscles were protruding, they could smile happily, but the pair of shining eyes were not smiling.

This made Yukinoshita calm down at once, and her smart mind figured out everything in a moment. Her mother is not a fool like Eriri. The information about Hojo Kyousuke at home can probably fill two cabinets. How could she not know what the other party's award represents and what records can be broken.

Now that she said this, it was obvious that she was using doubts to praise Hojo Kyousuke and make Aunt Mikiko happy.

The girl pursed her lips and felt that Eriri was really cute.

That kind of pure stupidity is so precious in today's world.

Thinking so in her heart, Yukinoshita turned her head, wanting to see the pure Eriri and purify her soul. As soon as she turned her head, she immediately saw Eriri with her chin raised like a rooster crowing, looking around, and being proud.

"I told you a long time ago that with my help, he will never fail!"

Sakura and Glass and others around her applauded, so Eriri became more and more proud.

Hmm... too pure is not good, it feels contagious.

Yukinoshita Yukino's mouth curved, and she smiled very easily.

Yang No, who was always paying attention to her sister, also smiled, and her smile was very malicious.

After talking with the girls for a while, Hojo Kyosuke went to the other side. His father-in-law and friends from all walks of life were waiting for him. Although he was very unhappy, he had to perfunctorily.

Although the father-in-laws were also excited and their cheeks were red, they were still reserved and only said some congratulations. Hojo Kyosuke's friends are more direct.

"You are really good, Hojo. From today on, you are no longer a new writer!" Wancheng Yaji said with a toast.

"What do you mean by newcomer? Have you ever seen such a fierce newcomer? No matter what award he wins, it will break the record. He is a complete destroyer of history!" Misaki Muxue also said exaggeratedly.

"After winning this award, no one will use Hojo's age to challenge other awards."

Akamatsu Yuki has more thoughts. He is already considering what award to challenge for Hojo Kyosuke's new work. Shimomura Tetsuya next to him is not in a good mood either. The old guy is now thinking about how to persuade Hojo Kyosuke to mention the new comics at the award ceremony later. The Neon Mystery Association Award can be said to be the highest crown in the mystery world. In Neon, as long as people like mystery, there is no one who doesn't pay attention to it. Even if they don't read comics, people will pay for it just for the name of Hojo Kyosuke.

Later, Hojo Kyosuke's ultimate fans, Kusaka Hideo and Hanada Taito, were already shouting that they wanted to get drunk, and after they died drunk, they would become Buddhas to comfort the predecessors in the literary world. The people around them said that they had to wait until after the award ceremony to die, otherwise they would not be able to say anything else when the dead asked.

Councillor Yamaguchi Daisuke took the opportunity to invite Hojo Kyosuke to participate in several activities after the award ceremony, saying that he had contacted several councillors and they would discuss the issues of homeless people and women together.

Hojo Kyosuke agreed readily. Anyway, he would definitely not be idle at that time. Whether it was the publishing house or Xisaki, they would arrange a lot of things. It was an agreement to everyone. It was a good opportunity to promote the new manga on the show. Only focusing on the issues of homeless people and women but not the issues of elementary school students? This is not okay!

Look, even high school students take medicine to become elementary school students to pick up girls. They encounter homicides all day long. The easier ones are bombing buildings and amusement parks. The more serious ones are counterfeit money groups and serial killers. The safety of elementary school students now is worrying!

Xisaki is no longer there, and the news confirmed that he still has many things to arrange. Apart from other things, there is a Hollywood director assistant living in the hotel. He came here specifically to see if Hojo Kyosuke can win the award. If he wins now, he must hurry up if he really wants to sign a contract.

Originally, there would be a large wave of traffic after winning the award. If it is announced that it will be remade by a Hollywood director and broadcast in the territory of American father, then the popularity in Japan may be higher than the award itself. The two sides just cooperate to make this matter more popular.

Speaking of the relationship between Hojo Kyosuke and Hollywood, it was actually not because "The Devotion of Suspect X" sold so well in the United States that it attracted attention, but earlier. Hojo Kyosuke participated in the Olympiad Mathematical Competition when he was in junior high school. The championship of the International Mathematical Olympiad that year was taken away by Daehan Mingguo.

The relationship between the two countries, Neon and Yelling, is also very strange. The two families are considered to be feuding, and they would like to beat the dog’s brains out. But they are all arrogant and have a reputation for being upright. When congressmen are campaigning, they can even openly use boycotting the other country as their governing philosophy. However, in reality, Korean dramas are very popular in Neon, and various Korean idols in the Korean wave are also very popular in Neon. Over there, those high-ranking officials would be too embarrassed to go out if their children had not studied in Neon.

This time, Neon was shouted out that he had won the championship, and there was a huge quarrel on Neon's side. Yes, they have never won a championship, but that's not because they are too good, but because their enemies are too strong. It has nothing to do with them. But that time was different, he shouted to win the championship. At this time, Neon's domestic social critics were unhappy and began to criticize domestic education, scolding teachers and schools, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the education system and the prime minister...

As for calling students trash, they don't dare. After all, they have to rely on parents to support them. The parents were very cooperative, and then began to scold them. The child's failure must not be their own problem, it must be the country's problem! The officials of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology are also confused. How can they not know that their students are useless? Don’t you have any idea why you didn’t win the award before? Is this going to get exciting?

But there is nothing you can do. If you are scolded, you have to find someone to go out and bow and kowtow to apologize. But this kind of apology, he is definitely not an ordinary petty bureaucrat, and he would not be satisfied if he just pushed someone out to blame the people. Who should go? Of course it is the Minister of State of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology who should criticize the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. You can’t let the deputy minister go? He is a serious bureaucrat, not a politician, so he will definitely not be happy.

The Minister of State himself was not happy about it. It was not his fault, it was just that the game happened to be on his watch. So I went to the think tank to discuss it. After everyone put it together, we must first make it clear that we cannot shoulder the blame and must throw it away. Then we need to study how to dump the boss. The subordinates will not take over the responsibility, but they cannot dump it to the superiors. This requires some skills.

To clarify the main contradiction, now the National People’s Congress and Han Mingguo have won the championship, and then our people are angry and angry, thinking why our children are not as good as others? Okay, the contradiction is clear. The question has changed from how to explain why there are problems in our education system to why our students are such noobs.

First of all, this cannot be due to your citizens’ poor childbirth skills. Secondly, this cannot be due to the poor quality of our children. Finally, in fact, everyone is quite good!

Why is it that everyone is fine and everyone is so good but they don’t win?

Why! You are very professional in this question! That's because the really powerful people in our family didn't play!

He was talking about none other than Hojo Kyousuke.

Anyone who can enter the cabinet and become a minister of state has no other abilities, so he must have a lot of bad ideas.

This group of people immediately found Hojo Kyousuke, and it was not surprising that they would find him, as long as they had eyes and could read. After all, in the Neon Domestic Mathematical Olympiad competition, Hojo Kyosuke was just killing people indiscriminately. He had already handed in the paper while others were still reading the questions, and he was awarded an unprecedented full score gold reward.

Well, the crux of the problem has been found. The prime minister has no problem, the minister has no problem, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Culture and Sports has no problem, and our students have no problem. We lost because our really good students didn’t show up.

As for the minister, he originally just wanted to pass the blame, but when he saw it, he suddenly became angry. Why doesn't Hojo Kyosuke go overseas despite being so powerful? If this guy goes to participate in the competition, he might actually be able to win the championship with this bunch of losers in the country. How could I be scolded so badly at that time? On the contrary, they can still have pie in the sky and show off their ability to govern.

But he was angry, but he was not so stupid as to seek bad luck with Hojo Kyousuke. One reason was that it was unnecessary, and the other was that he expected the other party to bring glory to him, no, to the country next year, and to help him improve his political achievements.

Upon further understanding, Hojo Kyosuke is actually a slightly famous cartoonist. This is even better, what a genius.

The protagonist of the main sections of several newspapers that day was Hojo Kyosuke. They began to boast that he was the invincible player in the country. He felt that bullying foreign friends was too boring, and this was how Dahan Mingguo took advantage.

That year, Neon was not the only one who shouted that he was unhappy about winning the award. Their common father, America, was also unhappy, so he also saw the news about Hojo Kyosuke.

Fate is so wonderful. Later, Hojo Kyosuke's comics became more and more popular, kendo competitions dominated the country, and his novels began to win awards... All kinds of news were broadcast by the American media that paid attention to him.

America loves young geniuses the most.

Almighty in learning, superb in martial arts, and brimming with talent. When Tokyo University wanted to recruit Kyousuke Hojo, several universities in North America also wanted to recruit him, and they offered several full scholarships.

Geniuses always receive more attention, and this time Hojo Kyosuke's novel was even released simultaneously around the world. Well, it's said to be the whole world, but in fact it's only in a few countries, but this does not prevent the United States from seeing the popularity of Hojo Kyosuke.

Although Neon is a major component of the world's mystery novel and mystery film market, in fact Neon's mystery films rarely occupy the market in the United States. Some novels are hot-sellers, but very few have been adapted into movies.

This is not only a chain of contempt between countries, but also a result of acclimatization. Mystery novels are imported products in Japan. They were originally called detective novels in Europe and the United States, but they became mystery novels after they came to Japan.

Detective novels, mystery novels, the difference can be seen from the name alone.

Famous detective Sherlock Holmes, great detective Poirot... readers may not remember the tricks in the novels, but they can definitely remember the detectives in the novels and their cleverness. This is the detective novel.

There is no need to say much about mystery novels. The orthodox school also pays attention to detectives, but both the author and the reader are more concerned about the tricks themselves. As long as the tricks are good enough, it is not so important whether the detective's personality is attractive enough, and everything is attributed to the tricks. It goes without saying that when it comes to Matsumoto Seicho, who has pushed mystery novels to another round of superb, tricks and detectives are not so important...

Hojo Kyosuke's novels are different. Although they have only been on sale for a few days, "Writer K" has been selling like crazy!

Killing a person and asking "This time, are you satisfied with my trajectory?" This completely hits the G-spot of young people. One of the reasons why it is so popular on Twitter is that this plot is very popular abroad, so Japan has more fun playing it.

No one cares whether he is a super villain or an anti-hero. Readers only know that he is extremely smart and admire his decisiveness and exquisite tricks.

The same is true for "The Devotion of Suspect X", which is different from ordinary Japanese mystery novels. He is neither a hardcore nor a social school, so he encountered such great resistance when Osaka Tsuyoshi helped to canvass votes at the beginning.

As the murderer, Ishigami Tetsuya is not as smart as a human, and his ruthlessness towards himself is even more shocking. In other novels, a handsome man like him must be a detective. But such a perfect trick met Yukawa Manabu, who solved the case from just a small detail.

The collision of geniuses, super criminals and super detectives, this is what Hollywood wants!

Not to mention that the one who created them is the super genius Hojo Kyosuke who really exists in reality.

How much publicity money would be left, how much money would be laundered by falsifying accounts!

So, this is why Hojo Kyosuke was able to lead a group of Japanese mystery writers and land in Hollywood first. (End of this chapter)
