Sunday, September 5, 10 days after the new issue went on sale.

The phone calls at Shangguo Press had stopped a lot, except for the occasional caller calling in to ask rather childish questions. For example, why can't I receive the magazine after a few days of being on sale?

…… How can a parcel sent out by ordinary mail be received within a few days?

After the new issue was released, the members of Shangguo Publishing House were still very tired of doing telephone customer service, and they were already thinking about whether to invite two customer service girls with sweet voices to answer the phone.

"You...... Hello, this is Shangguo Publishing House. ”

Ryoko, who is usually idle after work to serve tea and pour water, is indeed suitable for the job of customer service. The voice is sweet and doesn't speak.,And often look like I'm worried about saying the wrong thing.,Even if you are angry, you will become unusually soft-hearted.。

"Good morning Ryoko, why are you answering the phone this time? Where is the idler who usually answers the phone? ”

The authors of the new journal in the interior of the mainland, Riki, who has six authors in one, suddenly called.

"Ah, it's Riki-sensei, long time no see......" Although this author has made the work busy, the entire publishing house is still happy. Suddenly hearing him ask about the idler inexplicably, Ryoko thought for a moment, and it took a long time to realize who he was trying to find, "Are you looking for the president?" She's hoarse, you wait. ”

Ryoko said that Lu Lingling's throat was hoarse and told people to wait a while, and those who didn't know thought that Lu Lingling was very busy, even if her throat was inflamed, she was still working overtime on weekends. For such a moment, Limu, who was misled and appeared to be sick and in pain and working overtime in the office with a headscarf, felt that his spirit was really weakened.

"Yo, isn't this Riki, I haven't heard your voice for so long and I thought something was wrong with you."

Her voice was half hoarse, and she wasn't busy at all, so she rushed over and picked up the microphone almost as Ryoko said to wait.

"Why didn't you call me when I thought something was going on?"

"I've hit twice, but no one answered."

"Oh, I called at night, I unplugged the phone line."

"Why are you pulling out the phone line?" As a result of hearing this abnormal behavior from Limu's mouth, Lu Lingling immediately caught it and asked rhetorically without thinking.

"That's why I'm calling you, can you hire a bodyguard for me? Ask Elisabel if she has a way. ”

On the other end of the phone, Riki's weak voice seemed a little embarrassed, at least it didn't sound as good as hers.

"Hey, have you had any good rest lately? Bodyguard? What happened to you? ”

"Almost, lately, I always feel like someone is staring at me, and that gaze is like trying to eat me crunchy..."

… It was a cannibalistic gaze aimed only at him. To strip him naked, washed, eaten, and wiped clean, in short, it is a very, very terrifying gaze that makes his pores scary.

Hearing that her "cash cow" seemed to have some terrible illness, Lu Lingling hurriedly asked tentatively: "Are you too nervous to rush the manuscript, and you have paranoia of being killed or something." ”

"If you just want me to be so annoyed, that person keeps disturbing the phone every night, and after unplugging the phone line, he will keep calling the next morning, noon, noon, and night..."

… Because I didn't know what kind of radical behavior would be caused by completely stopping the phone, I was still frightened when I unplugged the phone for the first time, and I was relieved to wait until the next day to disturb the phone and continue to call.

"Ah, in this way, what kind of bodyguard do you want?"

Having said that, Lu Lingling actually has no bottom in her heart, don't look at Elisabel seems to be very promising, in fact, she has never brought a bodyguard when she goes out. She had only a million euros at her disposal, and if she wanted to get more money from her sister or elders, she had to give a justified reason that they allowed.

The single book of Limu's best-selling manga "Fullmetal Alchemist" was divided into more than 10 million profits. Although he is rich, his wealth is not at the level of hiring bodyguards. However, it is difficult to say that he is a little boy who is insecure at an age, and he is a multimillionaire promoted by a small citizen.

(For a while, I feel lost and difficult to adapt, and when I am stimulated by the slightest stimulus, I think of danger...... Lu Lingling guessed. In fact, she is a delicate person, or she can't step on the bottom line of her members' hearts every time.

"I give a monthly salary of about one or two thousand, and I don't want a first-class bodyguard, but he must be honest, his ability is first to be sharp, the second is skill, and the second is to be able to fight, and it is best to be a man who looks powerful."

(Man?) …… Gossip news said that his father was a gambler and often did not come home at night...... The child is afraid of ghosts at night and is with his parents, and he is the only mother at home at night. Thinking about it like this, Lu Lingling felt that the reason for Limu's insecurity came more from his father.

But in fact, Riki didn't take his own psychological factors into account, mainly because he wanted to choose a bodyguard who was keen and capable of seeing and catch the person who intended to kidnap him. In his mind, the gangsters called at night, wasn't it just to spy on his work and rest time, and to determine who was in the house at a certain moment.

Under the rule of the party-state, he didn't believe that assassination would happen to him. At most, it's likely to be a street fight, and any bodyguard should have learned martial arts, right? Not to mention that one is ten, at least "I'll go first, and you will be behind" can still be done. Therefore, Riki ranked the bodyguard's combat ability last.

If you want to fight, you can invite two or three retired soldiers, and you can sweep the Nanhua Night Market at night, kill from Snack Street to Mawei Lane, and then back from Mawei Lane.

But if you win, you have to enter the game, and if you lose, you have to be beaten. If you accidentally get into an awkward fight with the children of an official eunuch, you have to enter the bureau no matter whether you are justified or not.

In the final analysis, if you invite a bodyguard, you have to hire a deterrent man, so that people don't dare to use their brains when they see it from afar, and it is the wisest choice to avoid conflict. If you invite a heroic female bodyguard to go out, you won't be scratched, and wait for her to be molested and then a gorgeous backhand?

Riki doesn't want to deliberately cause trouble like the main character of the manga.

Therefore, ask for a man~

"That's a lot to ask for...... 20,000 yuan, I'll talk to Anya, she is more familiar with this aspect. "20,000 yuan is worth 2,000 yuan in the EU Alliance, and you can only hire a dishwasher who brushes and chopsticks to wash the dishes.

"Not to say it, but to be serious, it was really a terrifying sight that was going to eat me whole, it was like preparing to arrest me anytime and anywhere! Maybe I'm going to be kidnapped when school starts tomorrow! Riki said with great certainty.

"So serious!?" Having never encountered the kind of burning sight that almost burned through the skin, Lu Lingling couldn't understand Limu's feelings at all, in short, she patted her chest and said, "Okay, there is something wrong with the wood, wrap it on me!" ”

- Wood, you old wood.

Hearing the words of the person in charge, Riki's expression on the other side of the phone immediately tensed.

"Well, forget it, I'll tell Anya myself." He sighed.

"She went back to England and is not in the company now."

"You don't want to get a multi-Chinese version again, do you? Is it possible to get a mere magazine? ”

"Hey, since it's a good magazine, it will definitely be able to open up the market, and if you can sell one volume, you can sell one more volume, with Ryoko and Anya, at least it doesn't cost money to translate into English and Chinese. We're going international, well, international. ”

――Is it also international......

Riki is not opposed to being exported overseas, but "Boutique" is not Time Magazine, so can a mere comic magazine use it so hard. Since they were willing to work hard, Riki had nothing to say, although he could only earn money from the magazine and could not get a share, but the magazine was the equivalent of a single brochure to him.

The more widely advertised the magazine, the better the single book will sell. For example, those readers who only like "Jiuding Ji" in the whole magazine and wait patiently will generally give up buying the magazine in favor of a single book with richer content.

"I don't care about you, but you must remember my business!" Riki finally reminded.

"Remember, remember—"

Because she said it twice in a row, it made people even more uncomfortable......
