Chapter 42: Let's Dance
Coming out of the lounge, I finished copying the latest issue of the "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" comic. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Maiko Saotome has a mouth full of snacks in her mouth, and she is lying on the large sofa reading manga, and it seems that she has been waiting here for a long time.
Seeing Li Shanhe coming out of the lounge, she hurriedly swallowed the food in her mouth and stood up:
"Teacher, you're out!"
Li Shanhe glanced at the snacks on the chair, which turned out to be shredded squid.
Last time it was crab claws, last time it was kelp roots, both related to seafood...... Was it intentional?
"Why are you still here?" Li Shanhe said a little unpleasantly.
Maiko spends half of the week with him, almost every other day, and at first I didn't think it was annoying, but after a long time, I gradually got used to it. There is a girl at your mercy to bully at will, which can be regarded as a solution to boredom at work.
Maiko grinned: "Teacher, I have something to inform you, your manuscript fee has increased!" β
"It's gone up so quickly?"
"Because the sales are very good, many magazines have come to poach them. You are the only pillar of the magazine at the moment, and it is certainly up to you to get the money. β
Li Shanhe waved his hand, before the single book was issued, this little money was not in his eyes.
Maiko said some nonsense again, and Li Shanhe didn't pay attention to her anymore, and when she was annoyed, she would leave.
He went to the custom-made drawing desk next to his desk and began to practice drawing Crayon Shin-chan style comics.
The office is no longer the humble appearance of the original creation stage, even the painting table is specially customized by a carpenter, the steep table top that does not hurt the waist, and the pen holder on it are fixed.
While eating a snack, Maiko watched curiously as Li Shanhe practiced painting on his desk. Almost every time he comes, if Li Shanhe is not managing the company, he is practicing his painting skills.
Such a good cartoonist who delivers on time and never delays the manuscript is simply the conscience of the industry. What cartoonist doesn't die at the end and never deliver? Even Osamu Tezuka, who draws 50 pages a day, is called "Tezuka lazy" in the editor's mouth.
It's really time for the writers who play mahjong all day long to take a look, Mr. Ai Luo Wuyong is so talented, and he is still so diligent!
She secretly glanced at Li Shanhe's sketch a few times, and the picture showed a half-grown girl waving a broom, cautiously trying to beat a goose; The next picture suddenly turned, the girl was knocked to the ground by the goose, and the crying father and mother were beaten by the goose.
With a thud, Maiko couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Li Shanhe frowned and stopped writing.
Maiko hurriedly bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry for bothering you, teacher!" β
"What do you think of my drawing? Don't be a sycophant, just say it. β
Maiko froze and tried to evaluate from a professional point of view: "These paintings of the teacher, although the brushstrokes are simple, but a few strokes draw the charm of a girl, and even the goose has changed from passive provocation to active and ferocious raids. It's funny and full of innocence. β
Li Shanhe nodded, only the last two words still have a little effect, what he wants is innocence.
"If this were a comic, what do you think would be the sales? Can you earn 100 million yen? β
100 million yen? Does this number have any special significance?
Maiko blinked: "Sensei, is this a draft of a new plot?" β
"No," Li Shanhe corrected, "it's a finished draft." β
Finished Draft? Maiko looked at a few manuscripts with concise lines in disbelief, this kind of draft-like thing can also be sold for money?
Suppressing the anxiety in her heart, Maiko said euphemistically: "Teacher, if you feel pressured to serialize, the magazine can give you a short vacation, or you can delay the manuscript for a few days......"
Li Shanhe nodded, already knowing Maiko's opinion. If you want to earn 100 million yen just from the manga of "Crayon Shin-chan", I'm afraid it's still a bit difficult.
If one is not enough, then there are several more.
But the question is, how do you convince Shueisha to agree to serialize a few more works? Wouldn't that turn "Shonen Jump" into "Shonen Warrior Warriors"? No sane publisher would bet entirely on one author.
After thinking about it, he took out a copy of "Yinying" from the safe:
"This week's manuscript is here, take it."
"Well, I did receive it." Maiko laboriously swallowed what was in her mouth, wiped her hands, took the manuscript, and smiled.
Seeing that the other party hadn't left yet, Li Shanhe frowned: "After taking the manuscript, let's leave quickly, shouldn't the editor be very busy?" β
"What's the matter?" Wuzi tested Li Shanhe's eyes, and cautiously said, "Teacher, just let me stay here, if you have any orders, just say it!" β
It is said that men are steel and women are water. Maiko is very stealthy to play her feminine side, advancing and retreating, gradually eroding Li Shanhe's territory.
Li Shanhe wanted to send her away as soon as possible, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly changed his mind: "Since your name is Wuzi, then you can dance." β
"Huh?" Maiko was dumbfounded.
"What? No? I'm blind to the name. Li Shanhe put down the paintbrush, and the evil careful thought came out, "That's it, two hands learn to swing the rabbit's ears like this, jump and jump with the rhythm, and then twist the crotch like this, twist, twist ......"
It took half an hour for Li Shanhe to finally let the crying dancer learn the dance of the head of the troupe, and taught her to hum the tune by the way.
Maiko has the heart to die, how can such a shameful dance be done! Luckily, the teacher was the only one here......
As soon as I thought of this, I heard Li Shanhe order: "Don't jump here, go outside the office." β
"Huh? Outside, outside? β
"Not happy?"
"No, as long as it's the teacher's order, I'll do anything!"
Step by step, Maiko moved to the door of Li Shanhe's office, almost the whole person was attached to the door frame, twisted it with the smallest movement, and looked around vigilantly while jumping, muttering to herself, as if begging not to be seen by others.
Li Shanhe touched his chin, sure enough, bullying people is the foundation of happiness, and the dance that is obedient is so fun that he can't stop.
This dance seems to be quite good, but I wonder if I can earn 100 million yen by finding a few people to form a dance troupe......
Hanako Kitajima carried a thermos bottle, pretending to add water to Li Shanhe, and walked back and forth in front of the office door several times, each time with a snicker. Maiko, who had endured to the limit, finally couldn't help it anymore and roared, "Look at what you see! β
Hanako grinned and said, "Because Maiko, you dance very well, I didn't expect you to have this talent......"
Maiko hated it and rushed over to tickle the other party: "Stupid Hanako, I won't let you sleep tonight!" β¦β¦β
Just when everyone was fighting, they suddenly heard a "poof" laugh in the distance.
Li Shanhe's eyes froze, that direction is the warehouse area, there should be no talent!
Got a thief?
He kicked the ground violently, rushed out of the office at the speed of the 100-meter champion, ran to the warehouse area where the miscellaneous items were placed in a few strides, then grabbed a slatted with a box protruding, jumped on the board, and then condescendingly, staring at the two people one big and one small.
The little girl's smile was still on her face, but her eyes were already full of horror.
How can it be so fast! Isn't it human?
"Aha, what did I find?" Li Shanhe bent down, grabbed the frightened girl's collar, and lifted her up, "A delicious Lori? Or a bad teenage thief? β
Hidden behind the box was the girl who had fought with the goose last time, and not far from him, there was still a silent big man, Jiro, who was hiding behind the container with two huge pieces of equipment on his shoulders.
Li Shanhe's company originally rented an abandoned warehouse with some boxes and other things. As the company gradually grew, Li Shanhe rented more area, and the boxes that were originally stacked were all stacked in one corner.
Obviously, Apricot's target is the goods in this warehouse. Li Shanhe took a closer look and felt that the things Jiro was carrying were a little familiarββββ
ββββ this thing seems to be the same speaker I used at the University of Tokyo? And that amplifier?
He remembered that Shinonome Yoshiko had said that the price of this thing was millions. He couldn't help but gasp, he didn't expect this naughty-looking girl to be a thief? Pretty accurate!
