Chapter 41: The Lawyer (Adding Changes for Rewarding Friends)
Araki White has been very busy lately.,In addition to drawing the original draft of the game for the game production department.,And he also has to lead the people in the art department to complete the work of the school festival.。
For example, the cardboard arch that was to be placed at the entrance of the school was painted with white paint and painted by the art department. There are also all sorts of icing on the cake.
In fact, the things of the art department and the game department are okay, and the most important thing is that the final test is about to start. After the final test, it's the school festival.,After the school festival is held, the students can have a summer vacation.。
However, if someone fails the final test, they will have to go back to school to make up for it during the summer vacation.
Araki Haku's academic performance is not excellent, he is not a serious student himself, not to mention that he is responsible for supporting his family, how can he find time to study.
And Bai Xue's memory is not to be counted on, his world is only painting, except for English, everything else is a mess.
So in order not to be caught in school for make-up classes during the summer vacation, Araki Haku can only use his strength to read hard, hoping to be able to hold a Buddha foot temporarily.
It was in this situation that Araki Haku suddenly received a call from Akasaka.
It turns out that his manuscript has already passed the serialization meeting, and after the ranking of the Yongchuan Award comes out, he can start serialization on JUMK.
But since he is going to start a serialization in G Society, Araki Bai is ready to sign a contract with G Society, and Akasaka is here to inform him of this.
Araki Hakuro immediately agreed.
Wasabibe Law Firm.
The firm wasn't big and didn't have much money to advertise, so business wasn't very good.
Junichi Wasabe, the owner of the law firm, used to be a well-known barrister in the Kanto region, but because he offended the local gangsters, he had to leave the Kanto region and live in Tokyo.
There are only two staff members in the entire law firm, one is Natural Wasabi, and the other is Kanna Sakai, an intern who is still studying at the Faculty of Law at Tokyo University.
In the evening of this day, Junichi Wasabe put his feet on the table and read the newspaper boredly.
At this time, the sound of a doorbell suddenly came from outside the door.
Wasabi thought it was probably a newspaper subscription or a sales pitch, so he didn't bother to pay attention to it.
It wasn't until Kanna Sakai opened the door that Wasabe suddenly heard the other party ask, "Is this Wasabe Law Firm?" ”
Startled, Mustard immediately lowered his feet from the table and walked towards the door with his characteristic steady steps.
At this time, Kanna Sakai had already brought people in.
At a glance, the other party looked young, but he was still a high school student.
But it doesn't matter if you're a high school student, as long as you have a case to do.
He put on a warm smile and said to Araki Haku, "This ...... Little classmate, is there anything I can help you with? I am the owner of this law firm, Junichi Wasabi. ”
Araki Shiro shook his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Wasabi, my name is Araki Haku. I'm here to seek legal assistance. ”
Junichi Wasabi: "What type of aid?" Dispute? Claim? Or ......"
Araki Hakudo: "It's a contract." ”
Mustard was stunned for a moment and said, "Sign?" ”
Araki Bai nodded and said, "I'm going to sign a contract with a magazine, but I'm still a minor, and I don't know that their agreement is unfair to my father-in-law, so I want to hire a lawyer to sign a contract with them on my behalf." ”
Wasabi was a little speechless.
Although this is a case, it is too small, right?
Agency? Bored.
Junichi Wasabe wouldn't waste time on such a small case.
He smiled and said, "An ordinary escort contract will cost about 15,000 yen, can you accept such a price?" ”
Araki Bai nodded and said, "No problem, I can accept it." ”
Junichi Wasabe waved to Kanna Sakai, who was standing aside, and said, "Sakai, you come to help Mr. Araki with this case." ”
Kanna Sakai is a short-haired beauty in professional attire, who looks very capable, but is too young.
Junichi Wasabe explained to Araki Shiraku, "This is Sakai, my assistant. Despite her young age, her grades in the law department of Tokyo University have always been among the best. And she has accumulated a lot of experience with me, and signing a contract with an ordinary magazine is just a piece of cake for her. ”
Araki Bai nodded.
He could already see that Wasabi looked down on such a case, but he didn't insist on Wasabi doing it.
All he is looking for is someone who understands the law, and in the face of such small cases, interns sometimes have to be more careful than old fritters.
Kanna Sakai was also a little helpless.
Junichi Wasabe is like this.,When I encounter a trivial little case, I always like to push her to solve it.。 However, when she encounters difficulties, Wasabi will also point her out from time to time, and in general, she is still very grateful for the precious experience that Wasabi can give her.
She said to Araki Bai, "Please come with me first and fill in your relevant information." ”
Araki Haku followed Kanna Sakai to her office to fill in his personal information, then paid the deposit, and finally agreed on a time to accompany Araki Haku to sign the contract.
As Araki was about to leave, Sakai asked, "Mr. Araki, have you published any works at other publishers before?" ”
"There aren't other publishers, but I published a short story in G Company's JUMK not long ago."
“JUMK? Are you talking about "Weekly Shonen JUMK"? Kanna Sakai asked, a little surprised.
Previously, Araki Haku only said that he was going to sign a contract with a magazine, but he didn't say that he was going to sign a contract with the famous G Company.
Kanna Sakai doesn't read much manga, but she knows that the manga that can be published on JUMK must be among the top manga in the country.
It can be seen that Araki Haku is obviously not the contracted author of a third-rate magazine as she thought at the beginning.
"Yes, sorry, I didn't make it clear at first. If it's a contract with G Company, do I have to add money? Araki asked.
Kanna Sakai shook her head and said, "No, I just didn't expect Mr. Araki to sign a contract with G Company at such a young age." ”
Junichi Wasabe was also eavesdropping at his desk, and he felt a little regretful when he heard that Araki Haku's contract was actually signed with G Company.
After all, there are not many opportunities to deal with top magazines like G Society, and his heart is a little jumpy. But since he had entrusted the case to Sakai, he couldn't pull his face to snatch the case. It's better to read the newspaper with peace of mind.
After asking a little about Araki Bai's works, Sakai politely said goodbye to Araki Bai.
In a case like the signing of a contract, theoretically speaking, there is only one thing to be clarified, that is, what is the value of Party A and Party B to each other.
If the value of Party B to Party A is greater than the terms of the contract, then the contract is unfair to Party B, and Kanna Sakai's job is to make the contract fair.
The reason why she asks Araki Bai if he has any published works is to find out the market value of Araki Shira.
Of course, she could have accompanied Araki Bai directly to sign the contract without investigating anything, but this obviously went against her concept of a lawyer.
