Chapter 15 The World's First Comic Awards
"Here we are. ”
When the other party said that Akiko Asagami was her mother, Asakami Orihime never spoke again, and the two were silent until they arrived downstairs at the Shueisha Kyoto branch, when she spoke again.
"Alright, grab the sketch, and I'll take you in. ”
While talking to the other party, Orihime Asakami took out a small and delicate flip phone, chose a number and dialed it.
"Hello, this is the editorial office of Weekly Shonen Jump. ”
"Akiko, it's me, Orihime. Is it convenient for you to speak now?"
"Ah, Orihime, did you change your number?" I didn't hear the voice. Now it's convenient, what's wrong?"
"That's right, I brought a student from the club here, and he wants to recommend himself to the magazine, do you have time to read it?"
"Yes, you sit downstairs first, and I'll come down at once. ”
After hanging up the phone, Orihime Asagami made a finished gesture to Fang Ye, indicating that everything was OK, and the two continued to move forward, and soon entered the Shueisha branch building in Kyoto.
When Fang Ye and Asakami Orihime entered the hall together, some of the people who had come to run errands cast surprised glances at Asakami Orihime.
Even if it's a beautiful appearance and a tall front desk reception, I can't help but feel ashamed when I see Orihime Asakami.
"Huh...... I walked with this woman, and the hostile gaze I received was counted by every second. ”
Feeling all kinds of jealousy quickly gather on him, Fang Ye smiled bitterly in his heart.
"We went there for a meeting, and the editor who reviewed the manuscript came down quickly. ”
Completely ignoring the amazing glances that others gave her, she reached out and pointed to a sofa next to her, and led Fang Ye to sit down.
The two didn't have to wait long, and a petite female editor with shoulder-length hair hurried out of the elevator, looked around, and soon spotted them.
"Orihime, it's great to see you again so soon. ”
She walked quickly to Orihime Asagami and shouted happily to the woman who had already stood up and smiled at her.
"Me too, Xiao Sakaki has already told me, this time I can come back thanks to your help Akiko. ”
"Takao and I have only done a little favor, Yukawa and Sakurai over there, you need to find a chance to thank them. ”
"I know I'm going to have to invite everyone out for a meal when I have time. ”
Orihime Asakami finished with a smile, and then pointed to Fang Ye who was standing on the side, "He is the student Fang Ye I just said on the phone, and he wants to submit an article to your magazine." ”
"Fang Jun, are you? You don't look like you're from Dongying, are you?"
"Hello, Akiko editor. I am an international student from China and a graduate student at the Faculty of Engineering at Kyoto University, so this is my manuscript. ”
After Fang Ye politely introduced himself, he handed over the stack of sketches he was holding in his hand.
"Well, it's not convenient to talk here, let's go to the No. 3 reception room over there and sit down. ”
Akiko reached out and took Fang Ye's painting, looked around, and took the lead and walked over.
Before she could take a few steps, she noticed Orihime Asami who was following behind, and said with some surprise: "Orihime, are you coming over too?"
"Of course, I'm curious what you'll think of his manuscript. ”
The woman with a smile on her face replied.
"Oh, it seems that the student you brought this time is extraordinary, is he the candidate that your comic painting club wants to recommend to participate in the 'World One Comics Award' this time?"
After listening to Orihime's words, Akiko looked at Fang Ye again and said meaningfully.
"Yes, he's the one we're going to be for this time. ”
“……???”
Fang Ye, who was a little confused by the words of the two of them, could only blink his eyes and sweep towards Asagami Orihime.
He must have been sold by this woman at some point, right?!
"Ah? is he really the candidate you want to recommend this time?" I was just joking," Qiuzi was stunned and returned his gaze to Fang Ye's face, as if he really didn't expect that he would say a word.
"I'm not kidding, you'll know why I'm saying that after reading his work carefully, Akiko. ”
"Hehe, it seems that Fang Jun, you are really very optimistic about Zhiji. ”
………………………………
Shueisha Kyoto Branch, 1st Floor, Room 3.
"Then, Fang Jun, wait a minute, I'll finish reading the sketch first. ”
"Okay. ”
Akiko and Fang Ye sat face to face, and next to the two of them was the silent Asagami Orihime, her gaze stayed on Fang Ye at this time, as if she wanted to see if he would show a nervous expression when editing and reviewing the manuscript.
It's a pity that after a while, she pursed her lips slightly, just because the expression on Fang Ye's face had never changed, as if she was very confident in her work.
"......Shh
She whispered a disgruntled voice.
Fang Ye glanced at her, as if he had guessed this woman's careful thoughts, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly invisibly.
He naturally has great confidence in ONE-sensei's work, because this original work, which was only serialized on the Internet in his previous life, has set a terrible record of 20,000 Internet views per day and a cumulative number of 10 million readers.
If such a comic can't pass the review, he will directly eat the guest table in front of him.
“…… Boom!"
A STACK OF DRAWINGS WAS RE-ORGANIZED BY AKIKO AND "DUANG" ON THE TABLE.
"Please wait a little longer, I'll look at it again. ”
Fang Ye, who thought that the review was over, heard Qiuzi say this.
“………… Huh??"
The expression on his face finally changed.
"Haha, I knew ......"
Orihime Asagami, who finally got her wish, sneered and laughed.
She looked at Fang Ye and said in her heart: Fang Jun, you don't seem to realize how good your work is, this time our comic painting club has really picked up a rare treasure.
The woman's gaze stayed on Fang Ye for a long time.
