Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 138 Is it amazing? I changed my hair (8000 words goal achieved)

Hosokawa Koharu didn't know that Higashino had subconsciously defined her as a foodie.

She is still savoring the hard-won "restaurant" dishes beautifully.

I couldn't hold back the smile on my face.

In this way, after enjoying the celebration banquet for about 40 minutes, Hosokawa Koharu looked at the time and decided to send Higashinoji and Higashino Chihaya home.

Originally, for a celebration banquet like this, it would be normal to have a second reception.

But Higashinosi is a high school student after all, and he has to go to class tomorrow, and if this continues, it will affect his rest.

So Hosokawa Koharu quickly sent Higashinoji and Higashino Chihaya to the bottom of the apartment building.

When she was about to leave, she suddenly stopped Dong Yesi.

"Teacher Dongye, wait a moment."

"Huh?" Higashino Chihaya, who was already drowsy and sleepy, thought that Hosokawa Koharu was calling her.

But she wanted to sleep very much, and couldn't open her eyes, so she could only close her eyes in the end, making strange noises like a cat like a "mumumu" and looking back at Xiaochun Hosokawa.

"It's not Chihaya, it's your brother." Seeing her like this, Hosokawa Xiaochun couldn't laugh or cry.

Fortunately, Higashino Tsukasa, who was carrying Chihaya Higashino, also turned around at this time, and asked curiously, "Is there anything else? Editor Hosokawa?"

The things that were serialized before should be finished. Why did Xiaochun Hosokawa suddenly stop him again?

Seeing Hosokawa Koharu leaning against the car window, he opened his mouth and said, "I forgot to mention it at the reception. There may be some action from Fuji Publishing House recently."

Fuji Press?

Higashino Tsukasa was a little familiar with the name at first, but after thinking deeply, he remembered—isn’t this the publishing house that wants to compete with Urashima Publishing House for the top three manga publishers?

At the beginning, Urashima Publishing House was almost overthrown by Fuji Publishing House. It was not until Higashino Tsukasa came to Urashima Publishing House that Urashima Publishing House managed to turn defeat into victory.

But generally speaking, the overall quality of comics of Urashima Publishing House is not as high as that of the authors who spent a lot of money to poach from various publishing houses.

So even if there is "Midnight Bell", Urashima Publishing House has been bitten by the tail of Fuji Publishing House. If you don't pay attention, you will really be surpassed.

But Hosokawa Koharu now let him pay attention to Fuji Publishing House?

"Editor Hosokawa is worried that I will be poached by Fuji Publishing House?" Higashino Division immediately figured out the cause and effect, and then he laughed: "Please rest assured, such a thing will not happen."

Urashima Publishing House has always treated him as a national scholar, and it is impossible for Higashino to suddenly throw away "Aversion to Chill" and go to other publishing houses for development.

After all, drinking water does not forget the well digger.

Besides, isn't this the beginning of the common practice of duplicating public works - the male lead is suppressed by the publishing organization or the TV station, and then runs away in anger and slaps him in the face.

"Well, I feel a lot more relieved when I hear Mr. Dongye say that."

Hosokawa Koharu felt relieved.

She knew Dong Yesi's character well. The other party was really the type who spit and nailed. He had the demeanor of a real gentleman, and he would not do it if he said he couldn't do it.

Of course, she also believed in Higashino, but Fuji Publishing House was a hostile force and was notoriously ambitious. She felt that she had to guard against it, so she mentioned it before leaving.

And after getting the answer from Higashino Division, she was also very happy—see, my teacher Higashino still works for our Urashima Publishing House.

Just for Higashinoji, she felt that she had to convince the editor-in-chief.

With this in mind, she quickly left.

Naturally, Higashino didn't take what Hosokawa Koharu said about "poaching people" seriously.

Even if you come to pull people, it won't be so fast. This "Midnight Ring" has just ended.

Thinking of this, Higashino Si carried Chihaya Higashino who was sleeping soundly on his back, and quickly went upstairs.

Furuta Shinji, the editor-in-chief of Fuji Publishing House, decided to visit Higashino Division once.

Now that "Midnight Ring" is over, Higashinoji, as a manga author, will inevitably take a break to update his "Lonely Gourmet" leisurely, and during this period of rest, it is a good opportunity for him to visit.

Yes, as long as he doesn't submit to Urashima Press, they Fuji Press have a chance.

Of course, this so-called 'visit' is nothing more than a fancy way of saying to pry a corner.

Regardless of whether there is a chance, Furuta Shinji feels that he has to get in touch with the other party-maybe it will be done by then?

This is not because he is too confident in his persuasive power, but because he is confident in the treatment offered by Fuji Publishing House.

As long as Higashinoji is willing to submit the next manga to Fuji Publishing's weekly magazine "Thriller", they are willing to give a lot of generous treatment. Among them, they will cut a piece of cake for Higashinoji in the sales of booklets and comics.

With this kind of treatment, Shinji Gutian didn't think the other party would be unmoved.

Even if Dongyesi doesn't agree today, as long as he spends a long time outside to cultivate his relationship, then Dongyesi will definitely agree.

Anyway, as long as he stopped serializing, he would have a chance!

After all, the publishing house on my side gave me the treatment of a national scholar!

Furuta Shinji gained confidence, and then looked up at the time.

It was almost noon, so he decided that the sooner the better, he would go to see Higashinoji during his lunch break.

Thinking of this, he took all the documents he had prepared, turned around, went downstairs and drove away.

As for where Higashino Division is - Furuta Shinji is actually very clear about this.

The fact that Higashinoji studied at Kita Gijuku High School is not only known to insiders, but also to many readers who have watched the Tokyo Youth Painting Awards ceremony.

There are even many young readers who often visit Beiyiju High School, as if they are on a tour.

Of course, this kind of pilgrimage is actually very common in Japan.

There are even very few Japanese with clear minds who like to visit the places where some juvenile murderers live, and even treat those juvenile criminals as idols.

Fortunately, Furuta Shinji has some connections in Beiyiju Private High School, otherwise it would take him a lot of time just to go through the tourist procedures.

"Fuji Publishing's editor-in-chief Furuta?" Okano Yoshiko finished reading the business card, and then looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a strange expression.

It is indeed the appearance of a successful man, but the hair seems a little short?

"Yes, Mr. Gangye, please summon me. I want to discuss something with Mr. Dongye about work."

"Uh, since it's about Mr. Higashino's work, I'll naturally help with this little favor." Ryoko Okano said politely, and then turned back to the radio station.

About 2 minutes later, a school radio broadcast——

"Please, Higashinoji from class A of the first year, rush to the staff office of the first year immediately."

This broadcast lasted three times, and Higashinoji, who was chatting with Hou Yuanzhong, naturally heard it too.

"Higashi, I said I have something to do with you. Did you do something bad during your off-campus internship?" After listening to the broadcast, Hou Yuanzhong immediately winked at Higashino, saying, "You tell the truth in a snapshot." ' expression.

One must know that Higashino Division is now a celebrity in the school, and countless people from outside the school come to him all day long, in order to interview Kumamon and the latest information on his comic creation.

In addition to these, some little girls who were studying ran to the school gate and called out "Mr. Dongye, I love you" when they had nothing to do, making this place look like a confession place.

Seeing Hou Yuanzhong's laughing and laughing appearance, Higashinoji didn't care.After all, this stuff has always been like this.

He just followed suit and gave the other party a wink, 'Don't think about getting a Kumamon from me in the future'.

This was the lifeblood of Zhonghou Yuanzhong. He immediately didn't dare to continue joking, and said with a serious face: "What kind of broken faculty office, I'll go there with you, how dare you ask my good friend to go there!"

Seeing this guy playing tricks, Dong Yesi also smiled cheerfully, and didn't bother to care about him, and quickly walked to the staff office.

To be honest, this was the first time Higashino was summoned to the office by the radio, so it was somewhat novel, and he didn't know which teacher was looking for him, and what was the matter with him.

He walked and thought all the way, and soon arrived at the door of the office.

"sorry for disturbance."

He said hello at the door, and then walked over to Okano Yoshiko's greeting.

"Teacher Gang Ye, what do you want from me?"

Looking at Yoshiko Okano and the middle-aged man standing next to her, Higashino's expression changed.

Presumably it was not Ryoko Okano who had something to do with him, but the middle-aged man next to her who had something to do with him, right?

Sure enough, after Higashino Si finished speaking, the middle-aged man in professional attire on the other side bowed politely, handed out a business card with both hands, and introduced himself at the same time: "Hello, Higashino-sensei, I am Fuji Press The editor-in-chief is Shinji Furuta."

Uh Fuji Press?Editor-in-Chief?

Hearing this too-familiar name, Higashinoji thought of what Koharu Hosokawa told him to pay attention to the words of Fuji Publishing House yesterday.

No, you really came here to poach people?

Isn't this move too fast?

It really means that Cao Cao and Cao Cao are here.

Dong Yesi gave a dry cough, he was in a daze for a moment, and quickly organized his thoughts, took the business card with both hands, glanced at it and put it in his arms before reaching out: "Hello, editor-in-chief Gutian, I It's Higashinoji. Sorry, I don't have a business card here, please bear with me."

"No, no need." Furuta Shinji laughed: "Mr. Higashino is young and promising, so it's normal not to notice this kind of thing. Please sit down, please sit down."

Should it be said that he really deserves to be the editor-in-chief of Fuji Press?

Indeed, he has the aura of a successful person, and the attitude of this first meeting made Higashinoji feel good.

But the feeling is good, the feeling is good, so let's forget about poaching people - Higashinoji has a good stay at Urashima Publishing House, and he doesn't want to move for the time being.

The two of them sat down, and after only a few words, Dong Yesi took the initiative to speak: "I don't know why the editor-in-chief Gutian came to see me this time?"

"Hehe, I'm actually not afraid of Higashino-sensei's jokes. Our Fuji Publishing House really needs a talented manga author like Higashino-sensei."

Shinji Gutian raised his head sincerely: "Please invite Mr. Higashino to join us at Fuji Publishing House."

He raised his head, his eyes were on the same level as Higashino's, his tone was calm and contagious, and he looked really eager for talents.

but

Higashino Division frowned helplessly, and seemed a little moved, thinking about it, but quickly shook his head: "I'm sorry, Editor-in-Chief Gutian, I have no intention of leaving Urashima Publishing House for the time being."

In fact, he had made up his mind a long time ago, and it seemed that a little emotional movement was just a social rhetoric of pretending.

Furuta Shinji also saw this, but he didn't give up, but said sincerely: "Mr. Higashino, don't you really plan to think about it? Needless to say, it's so absolute."

He thought for a while and added:

"Anyway, Mr. Higashino, you have a lot of time to think about it. After all, your "Midnight Ring" has just finished in "Aversion to Chill", so you can fully consider our Fuji Publishing House."

The meaning of Furuta Shinji's words is very clear - anyway, Mr. Higashino, you have a lot of time. You recently finished "Midnight Ring" and haven't serialized new works. Why don't you think about it slowly, and you don't need to say it so absolutely .

This is actually a small rhetoric.

Let Dong Yesi think about it, and there will be a reason for him to come to poach people next time.

Just give him Gutian Xinji time, dig and grind, I don't believe that Higashino is not tempted!

But in the next second, Furuta Shinji felt Higashinoji's strange gaze, and then heard what he said——

"I forgot to tell you, editor-in-chief Gutian, my new work has been submitted to editor Hosokawa for review, and if it passes the serialization meeting, it will be serialized on "Bad Chill" soon, so it probably won't be long before I will read it again." Get busy."

"what?"

After hearing this sentence, Furuta Shinji's first reaction was that Higashinoji was teasing himself.

How could there be such a person!

After a comic is over, you don't even take a break, just start the next comic?

You are not a human being, do you want to be a printing press?

And if you have to say it, Higashino actually has a series of "The Lonely Gourmet", so he can only be said to be in a state of half-rest.

How could it be possible to serialize new works without taking a break?

Feeling the sincerity in Higashinoji's eyes, Furuta Shinji fell silent again.

Is it true that it has been submitted?

Thinking about it, Furuta Shinji finally asked with some disbelief: "Are you sure you are not joking? Mr. Higashino?"

He couldn't accept the reality a little bit.

"I won't joke about work, Editor-in-Chief Gutian."

To this, Higashino Division answered righteously.

"Uh ok. Sorry to interrupt your lunch break."

Gutian Shinji stood up in a daze, he only felt that a lot of his hair was about to fall off again.

Seeing the frustrated appearance of the editor-in-chief of Fuji Publishing House, Higashino was taken aback for a moment, he coughed dryly, and hurriedly comforted him: "There is no need to worry about editor-in-chief Gutian, your company also has many excellent works, and editor-in-chief Gutian can It’s already a big deal to come to meet me as a small author.”

Yes, Furuta Shinji is considered a corporal, and of course Higashino has a good impression of him.

However, Shinji Gutian turned around quickly, and said with a sad expression, "Is it amazing?"

Then he sighed long, touched his scant hair: "The hair was changed."
