Chapter 39: Maiko
At six o'clock, the sky was still dark, but the whole city had come to life. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Outside Info's apartment, the sound of a diesel engine starting in the distance, and the next door neighbor's rattling out of bed.
Li Shanhe was woken up by the alarm clock. He stared at the ceiling with his eyes and sighed, who made himself the boss of a small company, and he should lead by example.
Wait until the noise next door has subsided before he goes out to the public bathroom. Standing on the top floor of the apartment with a tooth jar, he and his neighbors laughed at Mr. Yamada's short time today, while washing up in the newly rising sun.
With a toothbrush in his hand, he opened the window of the apartment hallway, and a cold spring breeze blew in. A row of people shivered, but he stretched his waist beautifully, and a new day began!
Before he could go out, the public phone in the hallway rang. The landlady answered, and then called Li Shanhe to answer the phone.
On the other end of the phone was a very lively female voice: "Qiang Qiang ~ Guess who I am?" ā
"Neuropathy." Li Shanhe hung up the phone directly.
The phone rang again: "Huh~ I can't guess it." ā
Hang again.
The third time, I finally begged for mercy: "Don't hang up first, teacher!" I'm Saotome Maiko.,Why are you a little different from when you usually say hello in the morning?,It's okay to be a little patient with girls.ć ā
A group of old neighbors were lying on the side eavesdropping, and the obscene Mr. Yamada also stabbed him and made a hip movement.
Li Shanhe said expressionlessly:
"I don't want to you."
Everyone fell together, is it really good to speak so bluntly!
Maiko Saotome was also suppressed, and after a long time, she resigned herself to her fate: "Okay, Mr. Li, have you gone out?" ā
Li Shanhe looked at the table below, "I was just leaving." ā
"Wait for me, I'll be there soon." Saotome's bright smiling face on the other end of the phone can be heard through the phone, "I'm going to be promoted to editor from today~ Thanks to the teacher, I invite you to eat sushi~"
Edit? This little girl?
The editorial department of "Shonen Jump" has always said that it will be assigned to him an exclusive editor, but I didn't expect it to be Maiko Saotome.
This guy is Hanako Kitajima's roommate! Hanako is so unreliable, Maiko can't count on it!
He shook his head and dialed the Shonen Jump editorial office.
"Editor-in-Chief Fukasawa, is that little girl really good? Even if there is a shortage of people, it won't be enough to let the front desk do the editing, right? ā
"That's not the front desk, I read her resume, and I have worked in six or seven companies. I've interviewed in person, and it's definitely fine. ā
"So powerful? So how do you go to the front desk? ā
"Hehe, it's okay if you just ask her?" Fukasawa smiled, "Mr. Li, there are not many young, beautiful and capable female editors, the magazine is now recruiting, Mr. Li, you don't have to run to Shueisha all day, you can have a little more time to exchange ideas with young people." ā
"I just want to work."
"Drawing a comic is the best job." Fukasawa laughed, "There have been a lot of poachers recently, so you better avoid it, teacher." The editorial department will help you block it.,If you have any questions, just look for Maiko.ć ā
Hanging up the phone, Li Shanhe sighed, "Youth Jump" was very successful after the first issue was launched, the editorial department was revitalized, and he seemed to have no excuse to run to others all day long, after all, some things are still sensitive.
I was going to go to the company today, but I was going to go to the elementary school hall, but it seems that I have to change the itinerary.
After thinking about it, he went back to his room, took the letter from the eighth uncle, moved a small stool, sat in the courtyard of the apartment, and wrote a reply.
Uncle Eight's writing is still so humorous, looking at his articles, it seems that there is an old man holding a fan in front of him, sucking a teapot while telling you the story of his youth.
To say that his predecessor has done a lot of things to cheat his father, but only the eighth uncle is one of the few shining points in his short life in just two years.
Looking at the letter from the eighth uncle, Li Shanhe couldn't help but smile, being in a neighboring country, this is the little connection he has with China.
āā¦ā¦ Op. cant.
The letter has been received, the money is sufficient. 200,000 yen, far exceeding expectations...... Money doesn't help me much for a man like me......
Recently, I have received a lot of funding from friends, and many manuscript fees have been pocketed, and I have a good life. One of the most numerous was by an American, who came to me through Brother Shun Kang, whose name I had never heard of, who claimed to be my early reader in the United States, and came to visit me......
ā¦ā¦ From this, we know that we may get a large amount of money, but I need to come forward. This is not just trouble, I am afraid that the appearance of me, when I meet foreign journalists, will damage the national dignity...... After a few hesitations, I still sternly refused, but looking at the man's expression, I'm afraid it's useless, if it is then, you may be in trouble there......"
Troublesome?
In front of money, there is a fart trouble!
Although he is a little disrespectful to the eighth uncle, these older generations are just too conservative. It's really ...... if you don't take it when you have money?
Li Shanhe shook his head. At the beginning, he went to Kenji Kitaoji to help him with the door, and there were also several manuscripts of the eighth uncle attached to it, which was probably stolen. The last time I went to send money to Uncle Eight, I borrowed this manuscript fee in the name of it.
It seems that I have to give Uncle Eight some heart boosters. Don't know if your bank account is enough for him to change his mind?
"Teacher Li! Are you done? ā
Saotome Maiko had already arrived, but she saw that Li Shanhe was busy, and stood aside and waited for him in a proper manner.
Li Shanhe looked at this girl very unpleasantly, causing him to lose the opportunity to go to Shueisha to steal teachers again.
Although there would be no one else to edit without her, he just wanted to pick on him.
He hummed, stood up and stretched his arms and legs, and said lightly: "What does the job of a comic editor do?" ā
"Ah, the main thing is to make sure that you get the original manuscript on time, and to discuss the direction of the plot with you."
"I'll send the manuscript on time. As for the plot, my principle is not to move a word. Li Shanhe glanced at her, "I don't need to edit, you better go back." ā
"Hey, how can this be!" Maiko exclaimed, "Teacher, if you don't delay the draft, how can you show my ability!" You can rest more this week, and I will be responsible for the last few days, so that you can cheer up and stay up late! ā
The corners of Li Shanhe's mouth twitched, Damn, sure enough, he and Hanako are the same kind of people.
He got up and patted his buttocks, and Maiko immediately graciously picked up the chair under his butt and put it back in the old lady's room, like a well-behaved little daughter-in-law.
Li Shanhe snorted: "It's useless to pat yourself on the back." The sketch has been drawn, you can get the sketch and leave in a while, don't bother me. "He gave the eviction order.
Maiko rolled her eyes and decided to move forward in a roundabout way: "Teacher! So, I'll treat you to sushi! Thanks to you, I can become editors, and I should celebrate the inauguration of others. ā
"What are you talking about, aren't you very experienced in editing?"
"Oops, spotted?" Maiko slapped her head and stuck out her little tongue and pretended to be stupid.
Li Shanhe shook his head, he has MAX immunity to this kind of low-level cuteness.
"Shueisha is now short of staff, and there are a lot of new writers waiting to be edited. You go with someone else. Li Shanhe didn't want to talk to her anymore, there was still a lot of work to be done today. He shook his head, lifted his legs and walked away.
"Don't be so ruthless, teacher, teacher......"
Maiko hurriedly followed, and with a clang, she tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground.
Life is like a play, and routines come first.
It's a pity that she forgot that this trick had been used once before, Li Shanhe just turned around and glanced at it, and he didn't mean to stop at all.
In a hurry, Maiko's IQ surged upward, she propped herself up, and suddenly shouted:
"Teacher, the child in my belly is yours!"
