The leader who strongly requested the transfer of Hosokawa Koharu was named Otaka Jiro, but in fact his experience was not that long, he was a young man of twenty-five or sixteen years old...

The reason why he can sit in the leadership position at a young age is no, it can't be considered a leadership, Otaka Jiro is the deputy director of the personnel department, and is responsible for a certain degree of personnel transfer of Urashima Press. In a sense, he can only be described as quasi-leadership.

And the reason why he was able to sit in this position was also because he had a good brother-in-law, who was the vice president of Urashima Publishing House, and many people wanted to sell him face.

If you have to say it, this product is actually a related household, and it is simply because my brother-in-law is in a high position that he can get some authority to give orders.

This is actually a very common thing in the Japanese workplace.

What is the "youngest police officer in history" and what is "the youngest president in history" published in the newspapers.

Most of these people have a police background or a financial background in their families, and their families can lift them to high positions as long as they use their mouths.

That's how it is in Japan.

And the editor-in-chief of Urashima is only a little jealous of his brother-in-law, and of course he has no idea of stammering a hairy boy like Da Takajiro.

That is, the atmosphere that the people around him only value his brother-in-law, and no one values him at all, which makes Otakashiro extremely sensitive.

And in the eyes of Otakashiro, "Unnatural Death" is a work that cannot be completed, even if Tsukasa Higashino, as the author, applies to Hosokawa Koharu for completion, he can't agree so simply...

He immediately asked Hosokawa Koharu to refuse Higashino's request, but he didn't know what medicine the female editor had taken wrong, and she was still arguing with herself...

This made Otakashiro feel offended.

As I have said many times before, in Japan, the status of women in the workplace is very low, and even if they go to court, the chief judge of the court also favors male and female testimony in favor of male testimony, which is often seen in news and television works.

Even a female editorial team leader confronted her face-to-face, and even resigned... This somewhat bruised Ōtakashiro.

He was a little overwhelmed, even incredulous, and his face immediately changed slightly.

After Hosokawa Koharu left, he directly contacted the personnel department and transferred Hosokawa Koharu directly.

- It's a trifle.

At least in the eyes of Otakashiro.

After all, he just transferred Hosokawa Koharu from the position of Higashino Division's editor-in-charge, after all, since Hosokawa Koharu can't convince Higashino Division, let the other editors convince Higashino Tsukasa to continue drawing...

And he didn't fire her, or kick her out of Urashima Press... It doesn't matter at all...

Originally, Otakashiro thought so.

But...

"Unnatural Death is out of action this week?"

When Otakariro got the news, he showed a look of disbelief.

"Unnatural Death" is out of public...? And it's closed for no reason...?

No, there should be a reason.

"Could it be because of the female editor?" Otakashiro immediately thought of Hosokawa Koharu, but quickly frowned and shook his head again.

The editable transfer will not affect the interests of Tsukasa Higashino.

An inappropriate analogy? Even if Tsukasa Higashino didn't act as an editor? But as long as the manuscript is handed in, "Unnatural Death" will continue to be serialized? Then he still has money to make? is still the same Higashino printer, and he is still the author of the pillar that Urashima Publishing House can handle.

It's very simple? Tsukasa Higashino just needs to lie down and make money. After all, fundamentally speaking, the appointment of editors has nothing to do with the interests of Tsukasa Higashino.

Otakashiro decided to ask the editor-in-chief Urashima about the specifics? He fetched the phone? Call directly.

The phone was quickly connected, and at the same time, the voice of the editor-in-chief of Urashima came: "Hey? Vice Minister Da Gao, what is the matter? ”

The editor-in-chief of Urashima is already depressed, and he doesn't abide by any unspoken rules in the workplace? Start greeting directly to the 'Deputy Minister'.

Da Takajiro listened to the other party's tone, and his heart sank.

Could it be that it has something to do with him?

He didn't think much about it? He asked very dryly: "Editor-in-chief Urashima, I heard that "Unnatural Death" is closed this week... Is it true? ”

"Not bad. The news has already reached the personnel department. Urashima, the editor-in-chief, listened to Otakahiro with a little eager inquiry, but laughed instead of being angry, and asked happily.

The subtext of his words is obvious.

Since the news of the closure of the journal has been transmitted from the editorial office to the personnel department, basically the top management should know about it.

Won't the editor-in-chief of Urashima be under pressure at that time? It's that Otakashiro is under pressure.

You must know that although the marketing volume of "Bad Cold" does not account for the marketing volume of the vast majority of Urashima Publishing House, it is definitely the most critical and mainstream component of Urashima Publishing House's marketing volume.

Otherwise, why is Urashima Publishing known as one of the three major manga publishers?

"Is it because of the editor's transfer issue the other day? Or is Higashino-sensei just physically unwell? "Otakashiro ignored the subtext of the editor-in-chief Urashima? Keep asking.

Urashima, the editor-in-chief, can be regarded as a quasi-high-level person, of course he is not qualified to move? I still have to ask things clearly...

"Vice Minister Da Gao, I already said it earlier? What is Higashino-sensei different from other authors? He wants to finish? Then it's not something we can discuss. In particular, I have already said this several times regarding the transfer of editor Hosokawa. ”

Urashima's editor-in-chief reminded him that he has always been very clear about his position.

Similarly, Urashima's editor-in-chief has long known that Tsukasa Higashino is not the author he can manage... If he really wants to negotiate, it will be him who replaces the leadership to negotiate with Tsukasa Higashino.

After all, now "Bad Cold" is too dependent on Tsukasa Higashino.

It's just that Takajiro, who is the big of the personnel department, doesn't understand this, so he has to shoot a cannon next to him, do something stupid, and let himself wipe his ass... Urashima, of course, is not good-natured.

You let me wipe your ass... When things get bigger, I'll wait to collect your body!

The editor-in-chief of Urashima said all this, and the big Takajiro on the other side was also a little stunned.

He relied on his brother-in-law to sit in this position and had a certain amount of authority, but if it harmed the interests of the company, his brother-in-law would not help him, and would only kick him out.

It's obvious.

Da Takajiro panicked all of a sudden, he didn't expect that he was just transferred to an editor, and his position might not be kept.

"Mr. Higashino, how dare he do this... Malicious closure, isn't it afraid that I will go to court... I remember there was a clause in the contract, right? He muttered to himself.

And hearing this paragraph, the editor-in-chief of Urashima on the other side couldn't help but rub his temples.

That is, the sister of this thing is a brother demon, otherwise he would have scolded it a long time ago - it's really stupid and bad!

Is there a fart in court?

Although there are provisions in the contract, Higashino-sensei also has countless excuses to find.

For example, if you are unwell, you can't think of a good plot, and you feel pain all over... As long as he gives some reasons for force majeure and shows that he is not maliciously suspending the publication, Uradao Publishing House has no way to do it.

After all, in terms of creation, the creator has the final right of interpretation. Tsukasa Higashino said that he suddenly suffered from schizophrenia and could no longer draw "Unnatural Death", and the Urashima publishing house here also had nothing to do with him.

It's a creator's prerogative, and it doesn't matter how much you play hooligan.

And Urashima Publishing House will not be so stupid to offend its own pillar authors.

However, for the sake of his peers, the editor-in-chief of Urashima didn't say too much.

He gave the other party a reminder: "Dataka-kun, I think it's better for you to apologize to Higashino-sensei or Hosokawa editor now, and be sincere." ”

After finishing speaking, the editor-in-chief of Urashima also added: "Otherwise, in the end, you will just obey the orders of the top to apologize, you still have a bright future, don't bury your future because of this kind of thing." ”

Of course, this is a lie to comfort Otakashiro, and in the eyes of the editor-in-chief of Urashima, Otakashiro's future is estimated to be gone.

After this time, the people above are expected to have a bad feeling for him, after all, he climbed up by relying on relationships, and instead of doing a good job, he made the good situation like this-

These words brought Otakashiro back to his senses.

Apologizing is easy to say, but hard to do.

Especially Hosokawa Koharu, strictly speaking, is under his position...

He hung up the phone and sat in his office chair thinking, but before he could think for long, someone suddenly called from the other side.

It was a call from the executive committee of Urashima Press.

......

Tsukasa Higashino is in a pretty good mood right now.

He didn't really do anything as the outside world thought, and just started fishing.

He seriously drew the two episodes of "Unnatural Death" in advance, and at the same time got the news from the editor-in-chief of Urashima.

It turned out that the big Takajiro, who was in charge of personnel transfer, was dragged to a meeting, and then he was scolded at the meeting.

This surprised Higashino a little.

Although he had expected that Urashima Publishing House valued him very much, he held a special meeting for "Unnatural Death"...

This really didn't happen to him, not to mention that he made a special trip to criticize the quasi-leader of Otakashiro at the meeting.

But what Higashino didn't expect was that Da Takajiro actually took the initiative to visit after that, and bowed his head to admit his mistake.

And the attitude is extremely sincere, the eyes are red, and there is almost no soil to sit down to serve...

Although Higashino Tsukasa didn't have much interest in this person, the other party made it clear that he came to the door to take the blame, and even he couldn't turn him away with a cold face.

The most important thing is that after being scolded, Datakashiro also came to bear the guilt, which is obviously an act of the senior management of Urashima Publishing House to show that he wants to be friends with Tsukasa Higashino.

Although Higashino Tsukasa can be regarded as making enough money, there is no need to break up with Urashima Publishing House because of a big Takajiro.

It's just that...

“... Urashima Publishing House is also too serious about the sales of "Bad Cold", right? Tsukasa Higashino watched Otakashiro leave, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The first thing that the other party came to visit was to apologize, and the second thing was to inform him that the editor Hosokawa had reverted to his role as the editor-in-charge...

Whether it is face or reasonableness, the Urashima Publishing House has shown the greatest sincerity.

This is only the first week of recess.

Originally, Higashino was ready to fight a protracted war, and he was suspended for more than ten or twenty weeks.

Obviously, this is Tsukasa Higashino underestimating the influence of "Unnatural Death".

But even so, Tsukasa Higashino still has no change of intention to end "Unnatural Death".

Yes.

The decision to end "Unnatural Death" will not change no matter how you say it.

And when Higashino Tsukasa was thinking about it like this, Hosokawa Koharu on the other side didn't expect things to unfold so dramatically.

Otaka Jiro asked her out privately and took the initiative to apologize to her.

That's the deputy minister of the Ministry of Personnel... The kind of leadership figure who could fire her.

This kind of person actually took the initiative to apologize to a small editorial team leader of his own...

Hosokawa Koharu immediately thought of the turmoil caused by the closure of Unnatural Death this week.

In the end, do you still rely on Higashino-sensei?

"Thank you so much..."

Hosokawa Koharu was a little moved.

Although she caused a fuss because of the end of "Unnatural Death", Higashino Tsukasa will also come over to help in time when it is critical.

She took this kindness to heart and did not continue to say more.

Just as Hosokawa Koharu was thinking this, the Oshima editor on the other side poked his head over and asked curiously, "Team leader Hosokawa... Ready to go and receive your manuscript? ”

"Ahh Yes, I have this plan, just now Mr. Higashino called me, saying that the original manuscript of "Unnatural Death" has just been completed... Because the publication is closed, I want to go over and pick it up as soon as possible. ”

Hosokawa Koharu responded politely.

“... Is it? When the editor heard this, he felt a bad feeling in his heart.

When I'm with me, Tsukasa Higashino's Unnatural Death is always in the past continuous tense.

But as soon as Hosokawa Koharu is replaced, "Unnatural Death" becomes the present perfect tense... This differential treatment is all too obvious.

The editor of Oshima sighed deeply: "It seems that Higashino-sensei can only be won by Team Leader Hosokawa..."

"Don't make fun of me, Editor Oshima."

“... Team leader Hosokawa doesn't know how many means Higashino sensei has thought of before in order not to deliver the manuscript... Forget it, I won't bother Team Leader Hosokawa that you have received the manuscript. ”

"Then I'm rude."

Hosokawa Koharu opened his mouth to reply, then picked up his bag and prepared to leave the Urashima editorial office.

It's just that before she could take a few steps, a voice came from behind her: "Editor Hosokawa... You're here, and it just so happens that President Osawa seems to have something looking for you. ”

Yes?

Hosokawa Koharu subconsciously stopped, and when he turned his head, an incredible emotion welled up in his heart... Or unbelievable.

President Osawa looking for her?

Looking for her little editorial team leader?

That is the real person in charge of Urashima Publishing House, which is completely different from the goods of Otakashiro, and belongs to the core of the entire operation of Urashima Publishing House.

What can the other party do when they are looking for her?

Hosokawa Koharu subconsciously thought of Tsukasa Higashino.

It's just that she can't ask, so she can only nod and follow the editor-in-chief of Urashima to the president's office.
