Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 336 Can’t Comparing Higashinoji’s Signature! (8000 words)
This is the editor-in-chief of heaven.

You know, this is the editor-in-chief of "Chiyo".

Being able to be the new editor-in-chief of Xinyanzhu Publishing House, this Seo editor-in-chief must have something extraordinary.

Even if the editor-in-chief Seo wants to take the blame and resign in the end, that is the talent Higashino Division currently needs.

Yes.

Although I want to create a reading platform on the Internet, editor-in-chief and editors are all needed.

He can't really rely on the single assistance of Fudao Publishing House to maintain the entire manga reading platform, right?
At that time, when the Internet platform rises, this kind of comic reading platform will definitely be taken by Fushima Publishing House or Xinyanzhu Publishing House.

Higashinoji didn't think capitalists would make any sense.

Therefore, the online platform created by Higashino Division definitely needs a certain amount of self-production capacity for comics.

For this reason, whether it is an illustration exchange website like Pixiv, or a web comic reading platform, these things require editor-in-chief, review, or editorial responsibility.

But yeah.
In Japan, such talents in the editing industry are basically monopolized by publishing houses. Most of the talents who are willing to edit want to work in large publishing houses.

So this part of people is not easy to find. Even if Higashino Division asked Yano Ryuichi of Higashino Studio to pay special attention, it is still difficult to find talents in this area.

And now the Seo editor-in-chief seems to be sent to the door, if Dongyesi doesn't take the initiative to take it down, it would be a bit stupid.

Besides, editor-in-chief Seo, who is an insider in the editing industry, must know many fellow editors. With him, he might be able to pull up the first batch of editorial teams belonging to Higashino Division.

Only a fool would let this chance go!
Thinking of this, Higashinoji walked directly in front of Editor Nozawa and the others who were chatting quietly just now, and greeted the two editors with a smile:

"Hello, editor Nozawa and editor Takasaka."

As a regular customer of Fushima Publishing House, he certainly knew most of the editors.

The editor Nozawa and the editor Kosaka who was still gossiping just now are obviously very impressed with Higashinoji.

Especially Editor Nozawa, his languid sitting posture just now became extremely straight-you must know that Higashino Tsukasa in front of him is the pillar of the manga department of Fushima Publishing House.

If there were no Higashino Division, the editors in the manga department might be scolded every day like the editors in the literature department next door.

The literature department of Fushima Publishing House has been scolded all the time because it has not been able to compete with the literature department of Xinyanzhu Publishing House for a long time, and usually dare not stand upright.

Therefore, editor Nozawa and editor Takasaka respect Higashino Division: "Mr. Higashino, are you here to submit the manuscript? Do you need us to help you contact Team Leader Hosokawa?"

"Don't be so troublesome, I just want to inquire about some things with the two editors. It is the situation of the editor-in-chief Seo."

Higashino Division waved his hand and said his intention of coming with a smile.

That's what happened.

Although I don't know Higashinoji's purpose for asking about the editor-in-chief of Iwazuki Publishing House, Nozawa and Kosaka did not hide what they knew, and told Higashinoji everything they knew.

Of course, the two of them also played a trick here.

It's just that the attitude of speaking is more formulaic, and I didn't praise the editor-in-chief Seo too much like before, but just seek truth from facts.

They can't brag about other editor-in-chiefs in front of their own writers, can they?
"So that's how it is." Higashino Division quickly got a general understanding of the situation of the editor-in-chief Seo, which was a little funny.

I have to say that the Seo editor-in-chief is really unlucky.

This is not only because he met Higashinoji and the invincible "Hansawa Naoki", but also because he met an author like Horikoshi Hanpei.

In fact, his editor-in-chief position is very stable.

But it was because Horikoshi Hanpei, whom he has always favored so much, caused the scandal of the "cement dumping case", the editorial department apologized as a whole
And because Horikoshi Hanpei refused to express his apology to the people, he had to directly stop the other party's serialization and terminate the cooperative relationship.
This is equivalent to the loss of the pillar author that the editor-in-chief Seo has been cultivating, and it also caused the influence of the "Chiyo" manga magazine of Xinyanzhu Publishing House to be greatly weakened.

After all, a comic magazine losing its mainstay author is like losing the flowers that attract bees to pick them. Although the roots are still there, they still have a great impact on pollination.

Originally, "Chiyo" could not compete with "Heshi", and the termination of the cooperative relationship with Horikoshi Hanpei made things worse.

As the main decision-maker at the time, Editor-in-Chief Seo must be responsible for the blame, even though most of the blame was caused by Horikoshi Hanpei.

In addition, after the merger of the two major publishing houses, Yanjiao and Mozhu, the upper-level directors also had factional disputes. His position as editor-in-chief was not secure, and naturally someone was eyeing him, trying to put people from his own faction in this position. .

Therefore, it is not too much for Higashinoji to lament that he is extremely unlucky.

This is simply internal and external troubles, the modern version of 'Naoki Hansawa'. No, his current situation may be even more difficult than Naoki Hansawa.

After all, there is still an invincible manga author called 'East Nose' outside.

But from Tonoji's personal point of view.
Higashino wished that he could carry this pot as big as possible, and it would be better if the editor-in-chief Seo was forced to leave his job and live on the streets.

In this way, it will be easier for him to attack the wall.

But this is at most just a thought.

The annual salary of Seo editor-in-chief is at least 800 million yen.

As the editor-in-chief of a giant publishing house, it is impossible for him to have no savings.

Higashino Division took his thoughts for a while, but he didn't forget to send a text message to Yano Ryuichi at Higashino Studio, asking him to pay attention to the news of Seo Editor-in-Chief of Xinyanzhu Publishing House.

If the other party really leaves, then don't hesitate to go ahead and poach Editor-in-Chief Seo away.

Thinking of this, Higashino greeted the two editors and approached Hosokawa Koharu.

He came here this time mainly to hand in the original manuscript of "Hansawa Naoki", which of course he has not forgotten.

That is, when Higashino Division handed in the manuscript, today's editor-in-chief Seo was also staring at the manga magazine under Shiniwazuki Publishing House, hoping to find a newcomer seedling with outstanding data and upgrade it to "Chiyo" Comics magazine, became the new pillar author.

But
"It really isn't that easy to find."

Editor-in-Chief Seo looked away.

Even if he doesn't compare with Higashinoji's "Hansawa Naoki", he can't find a manga that can support the current "Chiyo" scene.

and
Editor-in-Chief Seo seemed to have thought of something, and sighed deeply again.

In the past few days, he has been frequently called to meetings by directors, and most of the issues discussed are insignificant and minor issues.

At the same time, Editor-in-Chief Seo also found out that his deputy editor-in-chief was also an editor from the faction of Yanjiao Publishing House. Only the deputy editor-in-chief is in charge of the overall situation.

And this change also made Editor-in-Chief Seo aware of it.

I'm afraid that his position as editor-in-chief is really going to be lost.

In the same way, Xinyanzhu Publishing House's eagerness to sharpen their knives and rush to him, an old minister, also made Editor-in-Chief Seo a little chilled.

Of course he knows that the editor-in-chief who can't create profits is of no use to Xinyanzhu Publishing House, and being forced to "take the blame and resign" is also a very normal thing in the workplace.

But it should be chilling or chilling, people are still emotional animals after all.

"It seems that there is no way to find Taizhuzi's works before resigning." Editor-in-Chief Seo seemed a little helpless.

This feeling of being alone and helpless is really hard.

Even if the editors with whom he has a good personal relationship see him, they will take a detour now, for fear that the new editor-in-chief will settle accounts after taking office.

But to be honest.

What did Seo Daigo do wrong again?
If he hadn't been stabilizing the military spirit of "Chiyo", the current "Chiyo" would have become a mess.

Instead, he wanted to see how the newly appointed editor-in-chief would deal with this mess.

Thinking of this, Seo Daigo also hummed twice in anger.

In this way, until the end of get off work, the editor-in-chief Seo still got nothing.

Powerless, he could only walk in the direction of home.

After all, although he is frustrated in the workplace, he can still find some warmth at home.

His daughter Seo Shizuru is a sophomore in high school this year. She is very obedient and well-behaved. She usually cooks for him at home after class and waits until he gets off work.

As for Daigo Seo, his wife died of illness a few years ago. Now he and his daughter are dependent on each other.

As the saying goes, a daughter is the father's little padded jacket, and Seo Shizuru's peace of mind made Seo Daigo feel very relieved.

He took out the key, opened the door and walked directly to the living room, only to find that Seo Shizuru was holding a manga magazine and reading it.

Seeing his father coming back at this time, Seo Shizuru with short hair immediately turned his head and said hello: "Welcome back, Dad."

"Hmm." Seo Daigo went to the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water, and asked while drinking the water, "What manga magazine are you reading? Is it "Chiyo" from Iwazuki Publishing House?"

"Ah? No." Seo Shizuru didn't even turn her head, and said with some disgust:
"Dad, these few episodes of your "Chiyo" are too ugly, and many girls in our class are now discussing "Hansawa Naoki". I can't keep up with their topics if I don't read it seriously."

cough cough cough
Seo Daigo, who was still drinking water, was almost choked to death by his daughter's words.

When he returned home, he was still thinking that the little padded jacket at home could give him some warmth, but who knew that today the little padded jacket not only failed to warm him, but also made him feel the biting cold like a blade.

Not only did I not keep myself warm, but I also bought a copy of "He Shi"!This obvious act of endorsing the enemy made Daigo Seo think of only one word.

Rebellious woman!

Seo Daigo walked up to his daughter, and saw that she was still looking through "Naoki Hansawa" earnestly, so angry that he couldn't help but groaned twice.

But he is not good at complaining to his daughter, so he can only look at her from time to time while eating the dishes made by the other party.

Seemingly aware of her father's piercing gaze, Seo Shizuru couldn't help raising her head: "Dad, what else do you want?"

It's like a child having a temper tantrum. While not talking to you, he is whining and trying to get your attention.

Seeing his daughter finally turned his head, Seo Daigo also replied indifferently:

"Actually, "Naoki Hansawa" is just like that. Take a look at this issue of "Chiyo". There are many good-looking comics in it, which are definitely better than "Naoki Hansawa."

After saying this sentence.

Seo Daigo didn't know what his daughter was thinking, anyway, his conscience hurt a bit.

"Really?" Seo Shizuru continued flipping through the "Kaze" in his hand.

Obviously, this rebellious girl didn't pay attention to what he said about being a father at all, and was completely immersed in "Hansawa Naoki".

Seeing her like this, Daigo Seo couldn't help but glance at her sideways.

Until Seo Shizuru finished watching "Hansawa Naoki" and sighed:
"Hey this week's "Naoki Hansawa" is really good. Especially the expression of Naoki Hansawa. Dad, aren't you also the editor of the publishing house? Do you know Mr. Higashino? I want to ask him for an autograph .”

"." Seo Daigo.

It really is a rebellious woman.

Not only to support the enemy, but also to pull down the old face and ask the pillar author of the enemy's publishing house for his signature.

How can this be? !
Especially Higashinoji, the pillar author, has tortured him and the "Chiyo" comic magazine for a long time.

it's simple
Seo Daigo replied angrily: "I am the editor-in-chief of Iwazuki Publishing House, and I don't have the contact information of Mr. Higashino. But I have the contact information of other famous manga authors of "Chiyo", how about it? Do you want to consider theirs? sign?"

"Hey - I don't want it, I just want Mr. Higashino's signature." Seo Shizuru replied with a long voice and disgusted face, stood up and went to the bathroom to take a bath.

"Wait, Jingliu! Ten! I can find at least ten signatures from manga authors who are older than Mr. Higashino!"

Seo Daigo was annoyed that all the authors of his manga magazine were not as popular as Higashino Tsukasa, so he simply gestured.

But this didn't impress Seo Shizuru at all, she just replied, "One hundred of them is not as good as one of Higashino-sensei, so there is no need for it at all", and went into the bathroom to take a bath.

Leaving Daigo Seo feeling the real besieged.
Well, the place where I could feel a little warmth was also occupied by Dong Yesi.

He was really a little desperate.

but
"Is "Naoki Hansawa" really that good-looking?"

Editor-in-Chief Seo glanced at "Heshi" on the table.

As the editor of Xinyanzhu Publishing House, he certainly studied "Naoki Hansawa", but he didn't seriously read this manga from the perspective of readers.

After all, the perspectives of editors and readers are still far apart.

Thinking of this, Editor-in-Chief Seo reached out to "Heshi" on the desktop.

This time, he intends to take a serious look at this comic from the perspective of a reader and an office worker.

It truly describes the psychology of many office workers.
He wants to see what kind of real law it is!
