Chapter 119: Daily life of the editorial department
"I should have contacted the person who gave us the invitation early in the morning, but it's not too late," I instructed Miss Masako, who seemed to be much more stable, "stay at home, I'll come as soon as I go, and I'll be back before the sun goes down at the latest." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Know, don't worry, I won't run around, and I have to rummage through my mother's closet."
Leaving Masako for the time being, I picked up my phone that was almost fully charged, and set out on my way to the Middle School Building.
After contacting Miss Maruko, I came to the reading room and found my sister who was lying on the table staring at the comic book, and the manga style she was reading gave me a sense of familiarity, and the familiar admirable muscles filled almost every block of space: "This is not that...... What? Fran-chan has a wide range of hobbies. β
"Fran wants it so much!" Fran looked up and spoke excitedly, her eyes shining with the light of the stars.
"What?"
"What muscles!"
"It's really powerful...... I scanned her small body unscrupulously, "It's impossible, don't be delusional, be honest and be a slender Lori for a lifetime." β
"Whew!"
"What do you want muscles? Although it looks majestic and admirable...... "But there is a conflict with my inner aesthetics, and the muscles are admirable, but it seems difficult to harmonize with the girl, and I am extremely sad about it."
Fran rolled her eyes, "In order to make my sister think that Fran is super reliable." β
"I think it's going to be counterproductive," he hit her mercilessly, "you should try to make yourself cuter than meaningless and more reliable, so whatγWhat a powerful muscle, let it stay in the comic **** people's view." β
"Fran is super cute!"
"Hey, hey." I responded perfunctorily.
Seeing that Fran turned her head to stare at the comic book and then her eyes lit up, not going to bother with me, and that there was still a short time before the lunch break, I decided to go upstairs and revisit Miss Maruko's editorial office.
As soon as I arrived outside the glass door of the editorial office of the weekly girl, I happened to see her holding a large stack of papers, "Wait a minute, I'll put the statistics and serial plan planning in the editor-in-chief's office first." β
"I'll help." I took most of the information and held it in my arms, and it felt very light.
The editor-in-chief's office is next to the large collective office separated by glass, which is also separated from the corridor by soundproof frosted glass, and the specific scene inside is not visible from the outside, except for vague shadows.
"It's Aosaki, who is this?" When I opened the door, behind the desk facing the door was obviously the editor-in-chief of the editorial department, a middle-aged man with an upper-average height and a public face but a majestic self-expression, and his dress and temperament revealed the appearance of a literary elite.
"Oh, editor-in-chief, you're here, something is on the table. This one? Eh, this is a foreign friend, Alice, who recently traveled to Tokyo, and came to visit my workplace today. Miss Maruko seems to have thought that the editor-in-chief's office was empty for the time being, but at this moment, she made up a statement that was almost in line with the facts.
"Hello Mr. Editor-in-Chief, have you bothered you?" I spoke up politely.
"Again, we welcome any friends to visit the editorial office, but also to expand the influence, Miss Alice does not have to be restrained, since she is a friend of Aozaki, please visit. You speak really good Japanese, hope to have fun in Tokyo. β
With a few polite words, I exited the office with Miss Maruko.
"Pretty nice guy, your leader." I have a good impression of Mr. Editor-in-Chief.
"Yes, sometimes it's too serious."
"I can see it."
Talking about the leader in a low voice, we returned to the collective office of the editorial department, at this time there were not many people in the large office, it seemed that most of them were out on business, and the few who stayed behind were working hard and seemed to be sorting out or writing reports?
"Oops! Alice-chan, playing again? Behind me was a familiar greeting, and it took me a while to remember that this mature woman who looked refined and capable was Miss Maruko's direct boss, Miss Okamoto Ran.
"Good morning, Miss Okamoto," I said, "you look so good." β
"Senior Lan, didn't you make an appointment to meet Mr. Maeda?"
"Haha, you also look very energetic, you have a good night's rest," Miss Okamoto's eyesight seemed to be good, and she saw that I had a good excessive rest time, and then she complained to her subordinates, "Don't be an old bastard in advance, I left a note in the studio that 'went out to collect style' and disappeared, and the assistants didn't know where the boss was." β
"It's still such a wayward old bachelor." Miss Maruko said cooperatively.
"That's it! I sincerely hope that he will get a few 'thank you for your patronage, welcome to come again next time' tax invoices this time, and stop playing hellish encounters! Does he know how small the probability of Yan meeting his future wife is! β
"Ah...... But this affects your work, and if Maeda-sensei is depressed, it's not the first time that he has closed the journal or something. β
"I envy your teacher Jingyi, and a few other honest people are too, they never make trouble for the editor, let's change it?"
"Don't think!"
Thinking that Sunday was a farewell ceremony for Miao, I declined the offer and made up for a verbal promise to find free time for a date next week, although it seemed to me that this date was very unpracticable.
"Your boss is still so enthusiastic."
"Forgive me, Miss Alice, by the way, I received two invitations from my father in the company's express delivery early this morning, and I was notified by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and forgot to get it because I sorted out the documents, let's go to the third floor to get it now."
"Oh."
Descending to the third floor, he retrieved a large hard-shell envelope from an office containing two well-printed invitations, without indicating who invited them, "You can't tell who they belong to, right?" β
"It seems to be like this every time, because there are a lot of people invited, and the organizer directly sends this kind of standard invitation that does not indicate the object in order to maintain the traditional flavor and save trouble, and it is not the level that requires special security like the state banquet, so it will not be so strict."
"You don't have to go see your father or brother, do you? I should have thanked him personally. β
"Don't, it's troublesome to see, since I don't know each other, the person Alice is looking for is also very troublesome, so don't make a fuss, anyway, my father and brother don't know what I'm going to do, they think I'm going to go to the circle of high society to find a favorite object."
"Oh......" I understood, "didn't you tell the family about taking care of a little girl?" Anyway, Mr. Ii has been gone for a few days, won't it affect my work like that Maeda-sensei? β
The editor-in-charge proudly declared: "Mr. Jing Yi is a solid depositor, and he is relaxed and happy to rest for half a month. β
