Chapter 45: The Circle of Coincidence

"Does Yukiho love Ryoji?"

"Maybe love." Du Qiu bought two bottles of sake and a few folding fans in a duty-free shop and said perfunctorily: "If you think you love, you love; if you don't love, you don't love."

"Du San, if you treat loyal readers with such an attitude, you will ruin your reputation."

"I'm not a professional writer, so I don't care." Du Qiu raised his hand and looked at his watch. He found that it was more than an hour before he could board the plane, so he said, "Love son, go and pick a few yukatas for me, women's style, I'll give it to my friend."

"Oh, is it a girlfriend?"

"Give it to my sister." Du Qiu smiled slightly and said, "There are two more friends."

Yukata is a simple style of kimono, light and comfortable, suitable for wearing after taking a bath in summer. It is a Japanese specialty clothing and is very popular among tourists from all over the world. There are many duty-free shops in the airport. Under the guidance of Aiko Komatsu, Du Qiu bought three sets of clothes of different colors, one with red flowers on white background, one with white flowers on blue background, and one with colorful flowers.

"Don't Dusan buy one?"

"I prefer to wear T-shirts and shorts." This kind of ethnic clothing is just a novelty, and it is not as convenient as modern clothing. Du Qiu has worn it many times before, but has long lost the freshness. He said, "Buy another set of children's ones, it's probably that high."

While helping to choose, Aiko Komatsu asked, "Du San, is there a Chinese version of "White Night Walk"?"

In order to cope with the censorship, the Chinese version of "White Night Walk" deleted some undescribable details and destroyed the plot atmosphere. Therefore, Du Qiu only left the original Japanese version on his mobile phone, so he casually said: "No, what's wrong?"

"I have a friend who likes this novel very much and wants to translate it into Chinese." Aiko Komatsu is very copyright-conscious and explained: "She only reads the first half of the Internet, and I have only read the printed scripts for the second half of the article for Shueisha editors."

"It's okay, let's take a look at her, just don't spread the word. Who are your friends?"

"A student I taught before was named Qin Weizhen." Aiko Komatsu helped him choose a set of sesame-gray children's yukata and said: "She was studying in the Japanese Department of Beijing Foreign Studies University. Now she is in her junior year. If Dusang is not going to write the Chinese version, I hope to translate "White Night Walk" with her."

"If you can do something for me, I will give you the translation of "White Night Walk" for free."

"Really? What's the matter? I will do my best to do it."

Du Qiu said while paying, "One of the posters that Shueisha gave me just now is "Evangelion". According to the news I got from the Internet, "Evangelion" is being produced in an animated version. I want you to contact the producer Hideaki Anno."

"Du San wants to make "White Night Walk" an animated film?" Aiko Komatsu was confused and said, "Evangelion is a work invested by Kakugawa Bookstore and is hostile to Shueisha."

"Evangelion" is a phenomenal masterpiece in the history of Japanese animation. It caused a great sensation after being played. This sensation is not limited to teenagers, but also shocks adults. It has been a long-lasting topic for 20 years and is a very good marketing theme.

Before China's rise, Japan was the second largest Internet market after the United States. Du Qiu planned to launch an email business after the release of Windos95 and transform Snapdragon from a software company to an Internet company. "Evangelion" was premiered in October, synchronizing with this plan. Every anime fan knows that "Evangelion" produced by Hideaki Anno was under budget and had no money in the last few episodes, so he had to play the stream of consciousness, and used the previously broadcasted shots and dragged the scenes for several seconds, and then he barely completed the production.

At the critical moment, being a white knight who saves the scene can not only make a big deal in marketing, but also make a work that is originally a masterpiece more perfect. Why not...

"It has nothing to do with "White Night Walk". I like Hideaki Anno's previous works and also like the comics of "Evangelion" very much. I want to get to know him." Du Qiu couldn't explain his intentions, so he tapped his forehead with his palm. After thinking for a while, he decided to be tough and said, "If you can let me talk to him for 3 minutes, I will authorize you to translate "White Night Walk" and publish it."

Aiko Komatsu opened her mouth slightly, a little at a loss, and said blankly: "That's it?"

"that's all."

"Okay, I'll try."

At 8:30 pm on July 16, Du Qiu returned to the capital, which had been away for more than a month. In addition to Jiang Danfeng, Du Chunhua and Lin Jinyan and his son were greeted at the airport, which gave him an unexpected surprise.

"Sister, why are you here?"

"Just allow you to run outside every day, so I'm not allowed to come out to play?" Du Chunhua looked at him with a smile and explained: "Now the school is on holiday, the company's business is relatively light. I will take Jinyan back to my hometown to live for a few days, and then take our dad to Yuncheng."

"Uncle, I went to the Forbidden City today. Mom said that we would go climbing the Great Wall tomorrow. Can we go together?"

"Okay." Du Qiu hugged Lin Jinyan, who had grown a little taller, and said, "I'll go back to my hometown to stay for a few days."

"Danfeng has arranged everything you want to do until next month. There are more than a dozen meetings alone, so I'm afraid there is no time to go back." Du Chunhua turned his attention to Aiko Komatsu who was standing next to him and reminded: "Brother, don't just be there to play with Jinyan, and introduce your friends."

"This is Aiko Komatsu, the translator of the Japanese Embassy in China. This is my sister Du Chunhua." Du Qiu looked at Jiang Danfeng, whose temperament seemed to have become much calmer, and then introduced: "This is my friend, Jiang Danfeng."

Jiang Danfeng was very satisfied with this introduction. He smiled sweetly, waved his hand gracefully, greeted Aiko Komatsu. Du Chunhua's gossip heart was burning. He bypassed Du Qiu's intentional or unintentional obstruction, walked to Aiko Komatsu, and wanted to mess with her words.

Unfortunately, after saying a few words, a girl with a ponytail wearing a white polo shirt and a red short skirt ran over and shouted with vitality: "Love son, where is the author of "White Night Walk"?"

"It's rude." Aiko Komatsu apologized to Du Chunhua, then took the girl's hand and introduced seriously: "This is Du Qiu, the author of "White Night Walk"..."

"Du Qiu? Are you Du Qiu?" The girl had a very lively personality. She interrupted her son's introduction and stared at Du Qiu and said, "I know you, you are the computer genius. She started a company with my cousin to do software business, right?"

I'll go! Such a coincidence?

At the end of June, Liu Yunlai introduced a second generation with background and cooperated with Snapdragon to promote electronic tax calculation software. Du Qiu only knew that the man was named Jin Ning, and he didn't know much else. Unexpectedly, before he met his real owner, he met his relatives first.

"I am Du Qiu, your name is Qin Weizhen, right?"

"Huh, how do you know my name? Did Aizi tell you?" Qin Weizhen glanced at Du Qiu with a skeptical look and asked, "Did you really write "White Night Walk"?"

"It was written by Tousan. He has signed a publishing contract with Shueisha." Komatsu Aiko felt that she was very rude and helped explain: "Tousan initially agreed to let us translate "White Night Walk"."

"Really?!" Qin Wei was really excited, clenched his fists and jumped twice, then looked down at the pile of luggage lying on the ground, and asked, "Is the lower half of the manuscript in the box or in the backpack?"

Looking at the feeling, if I were there, I would probably have to unbox the box on the spot. Aiko Komatsu quickly pulled her aside and whispered to explain Du Qiukai's conditions. Du Chunhua and Jiang Danfeng were a little surprised and asked in unison: "What "White Night Walk"?"

They didn't understand Japanese, so Du Qiu didn't say it when he published "White Night Walk" online. At this time, he explained falsely: "I used to write a novel when I was bored in Japan. I sorted it out and posted it on the Internet a while ago. I was attracted by a Japanese publishing house and planned to publish it."

Like Du Cunzhi, Du Chunhua attaches great importance to culture and regards publishing as a great honor. He is very happy to hear this. He doesn't even ask about the content. He pats his arm and praises: "Brother, you are really a thousand-mile horse in our family. You can even write novels. If it is published, our dad will definitely be smiling."

"Du Qiu, what is this novel about?" Jiang Danfeng looked at the two girls standing in the distance and whispered, and asked with interest: "Is it a love novel?"

"It's related to love. It's written in Japanese and has a long content. You'll know when they translate it into Chinese."

"Why do you want someone else to translate? Just write it again in Chinese yourself." Du Chunhua looked at Aiko Komatsu with a playful look and asked, "Is this what you met in Japan before? It looks pretty good."
