Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Partner Without Sincerity
Tokyo Rice Flower Center Building, Hanaoka Design Studio.
"Hey! Is your general manager, Kaneto Hanaoka, sincere? We at Kudo Studio are very busy, so if you're not sincere, you don't need to send coffee here! We'll be in touch later! Say goodbye today! ”
"Don't! Don't! Miss Ayako Oki! We Hanaoka-sensei attach great importance to this linkage cooperation, and the work launched by Hanaoka is a set of paintings about the murder scene, and Hanaoka-sensei's status in the Tokyo painter world is also well understood! Otherwise, you won't agree to cooperate! And your company's manga Officer Kudo's incident book is also in a realistic style, and it is quite popular. As long as Mr. Kudo invites Mr. Hanaoka to draw a set of comics of Officer Kudo's incident book at tomorrow's press conference, and Mr. Hanaoka invites Mr. Kudo to draw an illustration of the murder scene to join his collection, then our cooperation will be a complete success! I'm here today to talk about this! I reminded Mr. Hanaoka before, and he also said that he would come early, maybe he was tired today and didn't wake up yet, after all, Mr. Hanaoka created until three o'clock in the morning yesterday! ”
"Alright! Then I'll wait another half hour! If half an hour later, you Hanaoka-sensei haven't come over! At that point, it will be useless to say anything! After all, although our Kudo studio has only just opened, the boss didn't pay me a salary to accompany you for coffee! Do you understand? ”
"Yes, yes, yes! Totally understood! I'll get in touch with Hanaoka-sensei as soon as possible! ”
Seeing that the people from the Hanaoka Design Studio opposite turned around and beckoned the clerk to make coffee and make a call, Ayako Oki, who didn't really want to lift the table to say goodbye, sat back on the sofa behind her, put her hands around her chest, snorted coldly, glanced at the brand-name women's watch in her hand and continued to wait.
"Wow! Sister Ayako! You're really stylish! If I hadn't known you a few months ago, I would never have imagined that you were a newcomer to the workplace who had just graduated from college, and your aura was too strong! Even I didn't dare to speak casually just now! After the attendants of Hanaoka Design Studio left anxiously wiping the sweat on their foreheads, Xiaolan, who had come out with Ayako Oki and had seen her, hurriedly sat down next to Ayako and muttered with admiration on her face.
"Cut! Xiaolan, don't comfort me! If you have such a scar on your face like me, you will have this kind of aura that people are afraid of immediately! As for work experience, as Mr. Kudo said, as long as you are not a fool, you will have experience after a few failures! In order to live up to Mr. Kudo's trust and life-saving grace, I have worked hard to save my life, if there is no progress at all! Then I'll just resign myself, so as not to cause Mr. Kudo to go bankrupt! Subconsciously touched the right side of her face that was a little hideous, and Ayako Oki smiled bitterly and stroked Xiaolan's hair to explain.
"That Sister Ayako is also super powerful! Right! Conan? ”
"That's right! That's right! I admire Sister Ayako the most! ”
Just when Ayako, who represents Kudo Studio, takes Ran and Conan to wait for Kaneto Hanaoka, the other party to negotiate, at Hanaoka Design Studio. Kaneto Hanaoka, who was pushed by the studio staff to work until three o'clock in the morning, was enjoying the bitter and short spring night in the second high-end apartment of Rice Flower not far away, and since then the king has not lived as an emperor in the early dynasty.
"Husband! Want to get out of bed? I remember you had an appointment at five o'clock today, and a studio that drew comics! ”
"A comic studio? Yes! Oops! Help me put on my pants and socks, this date is very important! If I break my promise...... Hey? What is it? Pigment? What do you want to do? Kaneto Hanaoka, who was lying on the bed and hugging his plump and delicate body and dreaming of sweet dreams, immediately had a wit when he heard this, jumped three feet high, bounced up from the bed and groped for his clothes, and just when he was in a panic dressing, the strange color that he inadvertently rubbed on his face made him a little unable to help but roar.
"An-la! Ann! Just a little joke, the new nail polish on the market today! How's that, not bad, right? In the face of Kaneto Hanaoka's roar, Izumi Butterfly explained with a nonchalant face after stretching his seductive delicate body.
"A little joke? Don't do these pranks in the future! If my wife finds out......"
"Wouldn't that be better? Then you can get a divorce smoothly! And we can be together in the open! people, I ......"
"Smack!"
"What are you doing?"
"Izumi Butterfly! I'll tell you again, it's just pure trading between us! I give you work and money, and you make me happy! Don't let my family know anyway, it's our agreement, remember? ”
"Kaneto Hanaoka, you bastard! I'm going to tell you what happened between us! ”
"Oh? Say it? Hahaha! Don't you know what happened between us as my wife? She had already noticed it, but she didn't say anything about it when she saw that I still had a bottom line! If you say something to her, she won't say a word to me at all, but you! As long as this thing pokes out, this luxurious apartment! Illustration work you love! It's all gone! Got it? Stupid woman! While wiping the nail oil marks on his face, Kaneto Hanaoka proudly threatened Izumi Itano, who was slapped to the ground by him.
"Humph! Do you think I'm going to talk about this? I'm going to talk about painting! You know, 60 percent of your published work is painted by me! If anyone else knows about it, your status will plummet, and you might not even be able to sell a single one of your paintings! On the contrary, my original will grow in popularity, understand? My Hanaoka-sensei! In the face of Kaneto Hanaoka's threat, Izumi did not panic, but stood up from the ground with a sneer, covered his face, and walked around Kaneto Hanaoka to the dresser in the bathroom and explained with a smug face.
"Hahaha! Naive! No one will believe a new illustrator! And I also drew half of it! ”
"Oh? It's really you, right? Hanaoka-sensei! Didn't you find out? I have special marks on my creations! Take a closer look at the part I painted, where you signed. ”
"This ...... It's ......"
"My signature! Cute! This is the mark of my meditation, and it is the same butterfly that I just painted on your face! Even though the art style is different, I still have this mark in my own original work! All who see this mark will understand that I painted this picture! Thanks to your work, my original works are becoming famous! Today I stayed up late to catch up with a painting and put it on the table! Wait a minute, I'll have to send it to the publisher by courier! Would you like to give me some pointers? Picking up a piece of contact lens on the dresser, Izumi Mezumi smiled charmingly at Kaneto Hanaoka in the mirror.
"Hehe, you can't escape the palm of my hand! It's all for the rest of my life! Hanaoka-sensei! ”
"Boom!" In the face of Izumi Butterfly's aggressiveness, Kaneto Hanaoka, who was standing at the table and flipping through the album, was finally completely controlled by anger, picked up the glass ashtray next to him, and smashed it at Izumi Butterfly, who had put contact lenses in his eyes.
