Daily life in anime: Not the male protagonist of Asahi

"I don't know if he uses a pen name, but his name is Yuan Qingkong."

Yuan Qingkong, Yuan Jun?

So it was that genius high school student, and Chief Editor Sasaki remembered him immediately. There are not many new manga artists who can impress him, Yuan Qingkong is the second one, and the other one is Nizuma Eiji, who debuted at a younger age than him.

The general manager noticed Chief Editor Sasaki's expression, and it seemed that he knew this friend of the eldest lady.

"What’s the matter, Editor-in-Chief Sasaki, do you know this friend of the eldest lady?"

"Yes, he is a new cartoonist who signed a contract last week. At the last serialization meeting, the editorial department unanimously approved the decision to serialize his work."

"I remember that Hattori Tetsu was in charge of the serialization of his work. Should we ask him to come over?"Shinomiya

Kaguya didn't expect that as a newcomer, Minamoto Aosora could catch the editor-in-chief's eye. Can a person really be so excellent in every field?

Kaguya is not interested in comics. She doesn't watch TV and basically won't take the initiative to read comics. She is a person who can barely touch some classical literature.

But if it is Minamoto Aosora's work, she is very interested.

The general manager looked at Miss Kaguya and asked for her opinion.

"Well, take a copy of his manuscript with you, if it doesn't violate the rules of the publishing house."

The general manager nodded to the editor-in-chief Sasaki, who stood up and said,"As long as the young lady doesn't reveal the content of the work before it is serialized, there will be no problem."

"Excuse me, I'll go contact Hattori."

After discussing with Yuan Qingkong, Hattori Tetsu went to the editor-in-chief's office first, but did not see the editor-in-chief Sasaki.

He returned to the editorial office and asked another Hattori editor, Hattori Yujiro, the editor-in-chief of Nizuma Eiji.

Although they have the same surname, they are not related.

"Is this Editor-in-Chief Sasaki?"

"It seems that a big shot from the group has come. The editor-in-chief and other management have gone to the VIP meeting room. If there is nothing important, we should wait until he finishes the meeting."

Hattori Tetsu thought about it and realized that there was still a process to go through when submitting this matter, so there was no need to rush.

"All right."

He just sat down and was about to deal with the work at hand, when his mobile phone rang. It was from Editor-in-Chief Sasaki.

"I'm in the office right now"

"Is this the original manuscript of Gen-kun's"One Punch Man"?"

"Hmm, wait a minute, I'll send it to the VIP meeting room."

Hattori Yujiro heard the content of the call and was a little curious about why Hattori Tetsu sent the original manuscript of"One Punch Man" to the VIP meeting room.

Logically speaking, a meeting of this level should not involve a new work that has not yet been serialized.

"What's wrong? What did the editor-in-chief say?

Hattori Tetsuya was confused. What did the content of the VIP room meeting have to do with Gen-kun? Is there going to be a problem with the serialization? He just gave Gen-kun a guarantee, but now Hattori was unsure.

He found a copy of the original manuscript of"One Punch Man" from the document.

"I don't know either. The editor-in-chief asked me to send the manuscript of"One-Punch Man" to the conference room. I don't know what happened yet. I'll tell you when I get back."

This was also the first time that Tetsu Hattori came to the VIP conference room. Meetings held here were held here. Employees below the editor-in-chief were not eligible to participate in the meetings.

He knocked on the door and it was the editor-in-chief who opened it.

He originally thought that he would be done after sending the manuscript, but he did not expect the editor-in-chief to let him in and arranged a seat for him.

In the chairperson's seat was a beautiful girl with a temperament that seemed to be aloof, and the senior executives of the publishing house could only accompany her carefully.

Hayasaka Ai took the manuscript from the editor-in-chief Sasaki and gave it to Shinomiya Kaguya.

Hayasaka Ai noticed the cover page of the manuscript at a glance. Half of the page was occupied by a beautiful girl with curly hair whose clothes were close to the skin lines.

Hayasaka Ai looked at Miss Kaguya and compared the figure of the beautiful girl on the cover.

It turns out that classmate Yuan Yuan likes this type! Shinomiya

Kaguya also stared at the cover page of the manuscript. How could he draw such a vulgar comic? She, who had little contact with these things, began to be curious about the content.

However, her expression and tone did not change at all. Controlling emotions is one of the required etiquettes of the Shinomiya family.

""Editor Hattori, right? I want to hear your evaluation of Yuan Qingkong."

Hattori glanced at Editor-in-Chief Sasaki, who nodded.

"He is the eldest lady's friend, just tell the truth."Hattori Tetsu thought about it and said what he thought.

"I didn't dare to make a conclusion before, but now I can be sure that he is a talented cartoonist."

Miss Kaguya's eyes began to show interest.

"I just received him in the reception room on the first floor, but he should have left by now."

"This time I was planning to talk to him about the issue of long-running serials, but his performance was beyond my expectations."

"This time he brought the storyboards for the next six episodes. After reading them, I commented that if it were serialized in the main magazine, it would be able to occupy the top five for a long time."

As a newcomer who has just debuted, it is very rare to receive such comments.

"I see"

"I hope that the editor can keep this matter a secret from him."

This sentence was also said to everyone present.

"I hope that just because he is my friend, his work will not be treated unfairly. I believe in his ability."

After the meeting, Hattori Tetsu came out of the meeting room and called out to Editor-in-Chief Sasaki.

"What's wrong, Hattori?"

Hattori Tetsu has been thinking about the agreement between him and Yuan Qingkong, but the eldest lady said not to give him preferential treatment, and Hattori Tetsu is a little troubled.

Then let the editor-in-chief worry about it.

"When I met with Gen today, he asked for an advance on his royalties."

Editor-in-Chief Hattori Tetsu and explained the reason for the advance.

Advance?...

Although the lady said at the meeting that there was no need to take special care of him and that she believed in his abilities.

Then if we take care of him in areas other than the work, the senior executives would be happy to see this.

Isn't this considered special care for the work?

"No problem, I agree to this."

"However, it’s not the fee for 3 chapters, but the fee for the manuscript of 5 chapters that is advanced to him!"

Hattori, who looked nervous, was stunned for a moment when he heard this,"Ah, don’t you need to ask for permission?"

"No, I will take all the responsibility."

The confused Hattori called Yuan Qingkong to inform him. Even those old and famous cartoonists had to go through the procedures when they asked for advance payment of manuscript fees.

I didn't expect Yuan Qingkong to be approved by the editor-in-chief directly. It seems that I still underestimated his importance.

It must be because of that young lady.
