"Still preparing?"

Ayazaki Shoichi frowned slightly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He has also heard of the author of Kasumi Shiko, and is one of the newcomer authors who have been praised by Kadokawa Bunko in the past year.

But according to his impression, Xia Shizi's debut work has long been over, and it stands to reason that her new work should have been launched at this time.

Listening to Ayazaki Shoichi's slightly questioning voice, Machida Yuanzi also smiled bitterly, and could only nod, "Yes, Kasumi-sensei's new book is not ready yet." ”

"How long will it take?"

"Uh...... According to Teacher Xia Shizi, it will probably be a while longer. Machida Enko said unconfidently.

In fact, she knows that so far, Xia Shizi's new book has not been coded at all, and it is far from being released or something.

Of course, Machida Enko would never dare to tell the president about these things.

"In a little while......."

Ayasaki pursed his lips slightly and was silent.

Although he has not worked as an editor himself, he has worked in the light novel industry for so many years, and Ayazaki Shoichi also knows that it is often said that light novels that will come out in a while will generally drag on for far more than a while.

Of course, this is a nerve-wracking thing for editors-in-chief, and as the president, he doesn't need to bother with this matter.

Therefore, Ayazaki Shoichi didn't say much, just nodded lightly and said:

"Editor-in-chief Namachida, please be sure to let Ms. Kasumi Shiko release her new work as soon as possible, I am very optimistic about her. ”

Although Kasumi Shiko can only be regarded as a rookie author at present, her debut work has sold a total of 500,000 copies, which is still a gap compared to the top authors in Kadokawa Bunko.

But Ayazaki Shoichi knows that with the support of Kadokawa Bunko, as long as Kasumi Shiko can continue to release new works, it is almost a certainty that she will become a backbone writer in Kadokawa Bunko in the future.

"Okay, I got it. Machida Enko nodded respectfully.

Immediately, after Ayazaki Shoichi asked about the other editors-in-chief, he announced the dissolution of the meeting.

As for the specific time of the next meeting, we will wait for a notice.

After the meeting, most of the editors-in-chief returned to their offices.

Machida Enko, on the other hand, was in no hurry to leave, and went to the public coffee machine outside the conference room alone and brewed a cup of coffee to drink.

A small sip of coffee was sipped, and the bitter taste made Machida Enko sober up a little.

But as soon as she remembered what President Fang Cai said, Machida Enko couldn't help but sigh lightly.

"Alas......"

"Yuanzi, why do you sigh, it's not like you usual. ”

Suddenly, a familiar voice came, and Machida Enko looked sideways, but it was her best friend and colleague, Ayako Kuraki.

Unlike Machida Enko, who used to wear black skirts at work, Ayako Kuraki always wore a very student-like short-sleeved pair of jeans, looking like a girl who had just graduated from college, but in fact she was the same age as Machida Enko.

"I can't help it, who made the two authors under my command too uncomfortable. ”

What he couldn't say to others, in front of Ayako Kuraki, Machida Yuanko could say it naturally, with a slight hint of complaint in his tone.

"It's Kasumi-sensei and Yamada-sensei, right?" asked Ayako Kuraki, who also made herself a cup of coffee to drink.

"Yes, the two of them always like to procrastinate, and I have to come to the door to urge them every time. ”

Kuraki Ayako couldn't cry or laugh slightly, and pinched Machida Yuanzi's face, "Yuanzi, you, you just like to worry too much, you are now the editor-in-chief, not the previous editor-in-charge, there is no need to urge the manuscript in person." ”

In Kadokawa Bunko, there are three types of editors, namely the editor-in-charge, the editor-in-chief, and the editor-in-chief.

And Ayako Kuraki and Machida Enko are both editors-in-chief.

What each editor-in-chief has to do is to conduct a second review after the editor-in-charge submits the manuscript to confirm whether it is eligible for publication.

If there is, it will be submitted to the editor-in-chief, who will conduct the final review.

As for the reminder, it is the responsibility of the editor.

"I know, but the two teachers on my side are not worry-free guys. Machida Enko said slightly with a bit of nerve-wracking.

In fact, since being promoted to editor-in-chief, Machida Yuanzi, who has become more powerful, has arranged a responsible editor for Kasumi Shiko and Yamada Fairy respectively.

In this way, she no longer needs to run to the homes of two teachers all day long in order to urge the manuscript like when she was the editor in charge before, which is too tiring.

However, these two people are still too uneasy, or too old fritters.

The editor-in-charge of the past sent by Machida Yuanzi was turned around by the two of them, and he couldn't get the manuscript several times, so he could only run back with a sad face, and in the end, Machida Yuanzi had to urge the manuscript himself, which was really troublesome.

Because of this, Machida Yuanzi simply omitted the two editors-in-charge, and as usual, went to Xia Shizi and the two to urge the draft.

Although he was a little tired, after doing so, Machida Yuanko realized that he actually liked this kind of thing quite a lot.

"Hehe, there's no way around it. ”

For the two authors under Machida Yuanzi, Kuraki Ayako is also impressed.

Because in Kadokawa Bunko, the two youngest authors are Machida Enko's teacher Kasumi Shiko and Yamada-sensei, a high school student and a primary six student.

Kasumiko-sensei, who is already a high school student, may be fine, but Yamada-sensei is much more difficult.

After all, in terms of age, she is still only a primary school student and is very willful.

"Well, that's why I always sigh and blame those two fools. Machida Enko sighed.

"Well, come on, anyway, I still have something to do, so I'll go first. ”

As she spoke, Ayako Kuraki smiled and waved her hand and left.

Machida Enko nodded, and after watching her leave, she drank the remaining coffee in one gulp, threw the paper cup into the trash, and prepared to go back

But at this moment, I suddenly heard a vibration sound, which was my mobile phone.

Frowning slightly, Machida Yuanzi took out her phone and glanced at the screen, "An Yijun?"
