Hearing that Xiong Zexin was introducing himself to work, Saeki Jun was a little disappointed. But when he thought about it, he became optimistic.

Generally speaking, the editorial department of the magazine doesn't bother to pay attention to the contributors who didn't even pass the preliminary selection of the newcomer award, at best, they just send an email to encourage him to continue to submit articles next time.

Now that an editor has called him specifically and introduced his work, this shows that he has at least left some image for the editors of "young_animal", and he is not a pure passerby.

He said, "May I ask Editor Xiong Ze, what exactly is the job?"

"That's right. Xiong Zexin explained to him, "Teacher Qin Han wants to find a few assistants, are you interested?"

Hearing Xiong Zexin's words, Saeki Jun's palms suddenly sweated with excitement. He hurriedly asked: "Teacher Qin Han, is the cartoonist who created "Dragon Sakura", and the teacher Qin Han who created a new era of painting style with the same book "Daily Reassuring Milk"?"

"Uh, Saeki Sang, it's this Qin Han teacher. Xiong Zexin could feel his excitement even if he just listened to Saeki Jun's voice from the phone, "By the way, you really know Teacher Qin Han." ”

"Of course, I have seen all the works of Mr. Qin Han! When I submitted to your society, I carefully studied and imitated Mr. Qin Han's painting style, and then integrated it into my own understanding, and created the works! It's a pity...... My imitation of Teacher Qin Han is only superficial, and I have not learned how to tell a story well......"

"So Saeki-san, are you willing to accept this job? In terms of salary, it is the best standard in the industry. The daily salary is 10,000 yuan, and he works five days a week. ”

This kind of treatment is indeed the best standard in the industry, unless you have set up a studio and have several professional comic assistants under your command "contract foreman", who can help cartoonists take on personnel management, work distribution, guarantee progress, etc., then you can also earn more, comparable to the middle-level cadres of regular companies.

For Saeki Jun, being able to be Qin Han's assistant, not to mention having a generous salary of 10,000 yuan per day, even if the hourly salary is lower than the minimum standard of Tokyo, he is willing to do it.

"Yes, of course I do! Being able to be an assistant to Teacher Qin Han is definitely the rarest opportunity in my life!" Saeki Jun said excitedly.

Like many Toei manga artists, Saeki Jun has loved reading manga since he was a child, and he has made a decision to become a professional manga artist.

After graduating from university, Jun Saeki did not choose to work like ordinary people, but began his career as a manga artist, working part-time while creating at the same time.

However, from the very beginning of his entry into the manga industry, Jun Saeki has distorted the skill tree.

His girls are cute, sensual and seductive, and have been praised by many people. So Saeki Jun started drawing R18 manga.

Saeki Jun is not good at making up stories. But fortunately, the core of R18 comics is popping. The plot doesn't need to be too logical, and it doesn't need too much creativity, readers just want to see cute and lustful girls, and they are satisfied with the constant popping.

So as an R18 manga artist, Saeki Jun is quite accomplished.

Even in the field of R18 comics, it is not bad to be able to get serialization opportunities in magazines.

However, the income of R18 cartoonists is much worse than that of ordinary cartoonists, which can be described as a world of difference.

Whether it is from the point of view of financial interests or just from the simple idea of "wanting more people to see his work", Saeki Jun hopes that one day he will be able to wash his hands of gold and go ashore to wash his hands.

If Qin Han hadn't appeared, he might have to be in the sea for a long time, and even after some R18 comics were published, he would be able to encounter an opportunity to enter the general comics field.

But now, things have taken a turn for the better.

Hearing the other end of the phone, Saeki Jun agreed to the invitation to be an assistant without hesitation, and Xiong Zexin was also relieved. She said again: "Saeki-san, in that case, are you free tomorrow? If you are free, then I will take you to visit Mr. Qin Han, and if you pass the interview, then you can become his comic assistant." ”

After the call, Saeki returned to work excitedly.

Seeing that his eyes were full of excitement and his face was flushed, the store manager couldn't help asking, "What's the matter, Saeki, what good things happened?

"Store manager, it's even better than that! I'm going to be Teacher Qin Han's assistant!"

"Qin Han, who?"

"Store manager, don't you often say that the girl on the cover of "young_animal" is very cute? He's a famous cartoonist with an average volume sales of more than a million, and I'm fighting for it!"

The store manager suddenly nodded and said, "I see." You're going to quit your convenience store job soon, right?"

"Yes. If the interview goes well, I'll quit. I'm so grateful to you for taking care of me for so long!" said Saeki and bowed to the store manager.

The store manager waved his hand and said, "Although I am a little reluctant, everyone has their own ambitions." If you become a famous cartoonist in the future, when I talk to others, I can also say with a smug face: Do you know Saeki Jun, that kid used to work here back then? ”

"Famous manga artist ......" Jun Saeki listened to the words of the store manager, and his eyes were full of hope.

…………

The next morning, Saeki Jun first went to the White Spring Society to meet Xiong Zexin, and then went to Qin Han's house together.

"Saeki-san, your backpack looks heavy. Xiong Zexin looked at the other party's bulging backpack and said curiously.

"Well, since it's an interview, I think it's better to be well prepared. The backpack is full of my previous works. Saeki explained.

Xiong Zexin smiled and shook his head: "Saeki-san, today's interview has nothing to do with your drawing ability. Teacher Qin Han just wants to take a look, how are you? After all, we have to work together for a long time, maybe Teacher Qin Han will continue to look for assistants in the future, if you are eccentric and unsociable, it will not be good. I faxed your sketch to Mr. Qin Han yesterday, and he recognized your ability. ”

"I see, it seems like I'm going a little too far. Saeki Jun touched his head.

The two of them took the train to Shibaura, Minato-ku.

Looking at the tall apartment building in front of him, Saeki couldn't help but sigh, "It's amazing, if I can live in this kind of building one day, it can be regarded as a dream come true." ”

Unlike Huaxia, where high-rise residential communities are blooming everywhere, in Dongying, most ordinary families still live in various one-family houses. High-rise apartments, especially high-rise apartments with excellent environment and complete facilities, belong to the symbol of wealth.
