Chapter 353: Two Young Men
The arrival of Wang Hao and Mahaku undoubtedly made the busy editors stop what they were doing, and for them these are obviously two fresh faces, and they don't look like the cartoonists in charge here.
But since they were able to come to the editorial office of Weekly Jump, it means that these two have already gone through the formalities at the front desk, and they are new people that other editors are looking for.
The editors at Shueisha are usually very busy, and even the editor-in-chief and editor-in-chief do not often sit in the office, but work in a large room, just like the places where other company employees work, and the work positions are lined up side by side.
Only here is that there is a special workbench in the middle, similar to the teacher's lectern in the classroom when I go to school, where you can observe the work of each editor, and there is also a workbench on the side.
Sitting in the middle of the office was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a pair of white metal glasses, with a slight gray hair mixed in, and a very serious face.
Shuji Matsumoto, who was working, seemed to notice Wang Hao's gaze, raised his head slightly, looked over, and nodded at him, and Wang Hao quickly responded with a polite smile.
"You two are here!"
Iida Ayano also quickly noticed Wang Hao and Mahaku, waved his hand at the two, and immediately ran over with a happy smile, stretched out his hand and hugged Mahaku tightly, rubbed Mahaku's white and tender little face, and said, "Mahaku is here! I haven't seen Mahaku for so long and become cute again." ”
"Ayano, we only met yesterday afternoon......
"Huh, is that so?"
Iida Ayano pretended to be surprised and said, but he didn't have the slightest idea of letting go of Mahaku from his arms, Wang Hao twitched the corners of his mouth when he saw this, "Editor Iida, did you come to me just to see your appearance?" And this is the editorial department of the weekly Jump, as the editor-in-chief, you should also pay more attention to the influence, right......?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I saw that such a cute real white charcoal couldn't be left alone, and now I envy you more and more that this hateful guy can live with such a cute elf as real white charcoal. ”
Iida Ayano scratched her head apologetically, only then did she realize the surprised gaze of many colleagues around her, her face suddenly turned red, and she quickly let go of Shiina Mahaku, looked at Wang Hao and asked with a suspicious expression: "Anyway, you didn't bully Makotan, right?"
Wang Hao rolled his eyes, and said with a slight sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth: "I'm not like some unscrupulous editor who becomes an idiot every time he meets Zhenbai, and you're not going to let us stand here and talk next, right?"
Hearing him say this, Iida Ayano also felt that it was not good to continue talking here, nodded and walked forward slowly, "Let's go and sit down with me over there first, it is really not good to stay here and delay everyone." ”
You're only now realizing that!
Wang Hao rubbed his head a little helplessly, he remembered that the Iida Ayano he saw at the beginning was obviously a strong woman in the workplace who looked very serious and serious!
It's really a thing, I didn't expect the lethality of Zhenbai to be so great.
"The two people who came to the editor-in-chief of Iida just now couldn't be ...... Kamijo-sensei and Shiina Masa-sensei, right?"
A slightly obese editor with a beer belly, who looked to be in his 30s, pushed his glasses and said, casually putting down the comic script in his hand.
"I think it should be the god master teacher and Shiina teacher, after all, the editor-in-chief of Iida is only in charge of two manga artists now, and the two just now can't be newcomers, because the editor-in-chief of Iida hasn't found potential newcomers recently. ”
A female editor in Ayano Iida's group replied that her group had looked at the submissions these days, but none of the editors had found potential newcomers, so she dared to conclude that those two people were not rookie manga artists who had just been discovered.
"I didn't expect... Teacher Shina and Teacher Shiina are really so young, high school students, this is really youthful......"
"Alas, in the end, it is still too young, if it is a few years of steady development, maybe everything will be different, but in the end, the times have changed. ”
"Anyway, this is the first time I've seen the god master teacher and Shiina sensei, and if I take a photo and upload it to the Internet, I'm afraid it will cause big news!"
Listening to the surrounding discussions, the editor-in-chief of Matsumoto was still working with his head down, but the deputy editor-in-chief of Kitahara next to him raised his eyebrows and scolded, "What are you guys doing? Why don't you hurry up and give me a serious job!"
Hearing this, the editors who had just spoken immediately shuddered, turned around and plunged back into their work.
Wang Hao and Mahaku followed Iida Ayano to a small room next to the editorial office, in fact, it is not quite right to say that it is a small room, but it is a bit like a seat in a café, a table and two chairs are placed in the direction of the wall, next to it is only separated by a few blue wooden boards, from here you can look down through the glass and look down at the surrounding buildings.
Although Wang Hao has not been to this kind of cubicle much, he is not unfamiliar with it, this should be the place where comic editors and cartoonists discuss comics, and the cubicles of ordinary comic magazines are not equipped with doors or anything like that, only an entrance and exit are left, and editors generally sit at the exit position.
Shueisha's cubicles are equipped with sliding doors, so they won't be disturbed by others if they are closed, and the cubicles here are very particular, with Arabic numerals on the doors outside the cubicles.
It means that the compartments are allocated according to the number, because the editors in the editorial department are assigned according to the group, a group leader is in charge of about two or three people, and an editor-in-chief is generally in charge of six or seven editorial department personnel, and above the editor-in-chief is the editor-in-chief.
Therefore, each group has its own cubicle, and when talking, you can only go to the cubicle to which your group belongs.
Of course, editors and manga artists can also choose to consult at a café and other places outside, and this area is specially set aside by Shueisha for editors and manga artists to consult, so you have to follow the rules.
Unlike the previous newsroom, it was quiet, but occasionally a few loud arguments could be heard from a nearby cubicle, and it was obvious that the editors and cartoonists were in conflict.
Iida Ayano brought a few drinks from the side, Wang Hao quickly stood up and took them, and said, "Thank you." ”
Zhenbai, who was sitting in the seat, learned Wang Hao's movements, and said in a good manner: "Ayano, thank you......"
