Chapter 37 Chapter Three

At eight o'clock in the morning, Takanashi Touji drove the car and went straight to the Asahi Sun Art Exhibition Hall in Asahi Hills Town.The big stores hadn't opened yet, so he had no choice but to buy a box of ordinary dim sum at the convenience store and bring it as a meeting gift. The door of the Rising Sun Art Exhibition Room was still closed. It's called the "art gallery," which is an exaggeration.It was just a small, dilapidated stationery store that had been closed. It hadn't even been renovated, and it had been converted into an art exhibition room. Before coming here, Touji Takanashi thought that this exhibition room was connected with the owner’s house. When he came to see it, he realized that the location was close to the suburbs and there was no trace of a house. The owner’s home must be in the city.

The glass on the glass door at the entrance was cracked diagonally.Takanashi Touji looked inside through the glass, and there were indeed some enlarged photos hanging on the wall.Because I knew in advance that it was a photography of rainbows and clouds, so I can still see it. "Probably should be evacuated today." Takanashi Touji thought about it, and took a deep breath, "Does the Rising Sun Art Exhibition Room open at nine or ten?" Go directly to Kiyoshi Sugai, I don't know his phone number.Of course, if you call the reporter who interviewed him, you can also get in touch with Xu Bei, but in that case, it is tantamount to publicizing your mistakes.

"I haven't reported it to the director of the typesetting department, Puchi. It's best to handle this matter alone without letting the higher-ups know..." Takanashi Touji himself felt sorry for himself, such an unhappy character. Surprised. First report to the agency to have a look.If Xu Bei or the operator of the Rising Sun Art Exhibition Room had subscribed to the "Xinbao", they would have used their home phone to protest to the newspaper office. Takanashi Touji speeded up the car unknowingly, walked into the newspaper building before nine o'clock, and took the elevator up to the fifth floor.While walking in the corridor, I could already hear the constant noise in the office.

Walking into the editorial office, the scene that appeared in my retina when I was lying in bed and couldn't sleep last night finally reappeared in reality.The phone kept ringing, and the reporters on the night shift and the editors of the editorial department responded with ashen faces.Not only that, the editorial bureau director, deputy director and other leaders have also come to the newspaper office.Takanashi stood at the door, his legs were weak and he couldn't walk. The phone on a nearby desk rang.A staff member of the General Affairs Section gave Takanashi Touji a scary look, which meant to ask Takanashi Toruji to answer the phone.

Takanashi Touji hastily picked up the phone: "Hi!... Are you "The County Citizen Shinbo" a spy hired by Odagiri?" Odagiri?spy? ... Touji Takanashi, who was at a loss, took a while to remember that Odagiri is the current mayor of Y City, a reformist, has been re-elected for two terms, and is running for re-election. "Excuse me, what's your opinion?" In order to delay time, Takanashi Touji asked this question on purpose, and then he picked up today's newspaper on the desk.The report on the mayoral election of City V is arranged on the left shoulder of the front page.

"Bastard! What a fart!...You guys wrote Masui's resume wrong!" Masui was the candidate recommended by the conservatives, and he was strong enough to compete with Odagiri. "Excuse me, what is wrong?" Takanashi Touji looked puzzled. "Big mistake!... Masui was born in Showa 39!" Takanashi Touji was stunned: "The County Citizen's News" wrote about the 30th year of the Showa era.The age of the candidate was wrong. Did Yuzawa from the Y city branch make a mistake, or did the editor omit the word "nine" when editing this article?In any case, such mistakes are unforgivable.

Newspapers have always paid special attention to election reports. Articles introducing candidates must not only be published on the same page, but even the number of lines in the articles must be equal.How well the photos look, we have to ponder over and over again.The fanatical supporters of the candidates cannot be restrained.As long as there is a little problem, the supporters will not stop blaming.If a newspaper office is suspected of favoring a certain candidate, its prestige will be greatly reduced, and it will be labeled as "preferring the newspaper" and fall into a business crisis.

"I'm really sorry, we must conduct a deep review." Takanashi Touji apologized sincerely.For a candidate who used youth as his campaign capital, "Xianmin Xinbao" made him nine years older overnight. "I'm sorry and it's over? I'll correct it in the newspaper tomorrow, and correct it in the largest size possible!..." The other end of the phone screamed violently. The other party's hope will definitely be satisfied.However, the "correction of the notice" is the biggest shame for the newspaper, and Takanashi Touji cannot have the final say.

"I will definitely report to my superiors and try my best to deal with this matter in the most appropriate way. Please forgive me no matter what!..." When Takanashi Touji was talking, Puchi walked past him, nodded and bowed, and went straight to the director's desk.It must have been called by the director. If something goes wrong, the director of the typesetting department is also responsible. The man on the phone was still yelling, Takanashi Touji repeated his apology, but he was thinking about other things. He felt relieved.Compared with the mistakes of the campaign report, the report about the unknown photographer is a trivial matter.Even if someone called the newspaper to tell the story, it would not be taken seriously, and the result would be nothing.

No... Takanashi Touji became frightened again.With the director and so many staff present, in this tense atmosphere that was about to explode, if someone sued again, it would be tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.Takanashi Touji's small mistake may be treated as a big accident, causing irreparable damage... In any case, Takanashi Touji, who was supposed to go to work at one o'clock in the afternoon, was already in the editorial office at this time, and was still answering the phone, dealing with the supporters of the candidate named Masui, which was very unnatural.On the phone with Takanashi Toru, the man whose voice was already hoarse, apologized again, hung up the phone, and quietly left the editorial office.
