Chapter 81: Invitation

During this time, Lin Yi's mood was not very good.

The popularity of "Demon Slayer Blade", which was still in his hands, actually fell continuously, reaching the halving line twice in a row.

This situation made him feel that it was not quite right, because there was nothing wrong with the plot of these episodes in his opinion.

Especially when he painted "Demon Slayer", he also eliminated some inexplicable memory plots, which should be better than the results of his previous life.

However, the current situation is the opposite, the ghost slayer in the previous life has not been cut in half, but may face a cut in half on his side.

Something is wrong, but I don't know what's wrong.

"I don't know how popular it is this week." Lin Yi muttered to himself.

It's been two weeks, and if this week's one doesn't work again, then I'll have to give up this comic for the time being.

However, at this time, Lin Yi's mobile phone suddenly rang, and Lin Yi hurriedly looked at it, it was a stranger's phone.

"Hello?"

"Hello, it's Haicheng-sensei, right?" An unfamiliar female voice came from the other side of the phone, which made Lin Yi respond strangely: "It's me...... You are? ”

"I'm Junmi Takahashi, and I'm your new editor with Mr. Haicheng."

"New editor?"

"Yes, due to a mistake on the part of Machida's editor, the company has made me the editor in charge of you." Junmi Takahashi continued.

"......" Although he was a little curious about what Machida Junko was wrong, Lin Yi didn't ask now, and then called Machida Junko, so he continued to ask, "What is the matter with me?" ”

"It's about comics, can you please come to the company?"

"Yes, you can." As soon as Lin heard this, he agreed.

Then I went directly to the company and met his new editor Junmi Takahashi, and by the way, I also saw Junko Machida, and the other party saw Lin Yi behind Junmi Takahashi, and showed an unnatural smile at him, which was a hello.

And Lin Yi also smiled, and then led by Takahashi Junmi to the office, Takahashi Junmi knocked on the door and pushed it open half of the door, and said respectfully: "Editor-in-chief Kurata, Mr. Haicheng has arrived." ”

Behind the desk was a man in his twenties, who was tapping on the keyboard at this moment, and when he heard this, he raised his head and said with a surprised expression on his face: "Teacher Haicheng, please come in!" ”

For this performance that will be attributed to himself in the future, of course, the editor-in-chief Kurata warmly welcomes it.

Editor-in-chief Kurata got up from his chair, then asked Junmi Takahashi to make a cup of tea and sat down on the sofa in the office with Lin Yi: "Come, please use, this is the highest grade Gyokuro tea, only pick the buds by hand for the first time, and at the same time only pick the mesophyll and not the stems, and there are not many tea trees in a hundred." ”

"Thank you." Lin Yi took a sip of tea and took a sip, hmm......

Maybe it's because he's too vulgar, he just thinks that this thing is no different from the tea he usually drinks, and if he has to talk about tea, he prefers the iced black tea he drank in his previous life.

However, at this time, he still had to give some face, so he said: "Well, the entrance is soft, the throat is a line, it is indeed a good tea!" I bothered the editor-in-chief Kurata, but why did the editor-in-chief Kurata come to me? ”

"If the teacher likes it, it's fine." Editor-in-chief Kurata had a smile on his face, and then got to the point: "Looking for a teacher today is actually for your "Demon Slayer Blade", and this week's popularity has also come out, and it is the twenty-sixth, so it needs to be cut in half, and I hope the teacher will forgive me." ”

There was guilt on his face, and he couldn't tell that he was the mastermind behind the beheading.

Lin Yi hurriedly waved his hand and said politely, "What's this?" It's a matter of course to be cut in half for bad grades, but is that what I'm here for? You can say it on the phone. ”

After hearing Lin Yi's answer, the editor-in-chief Kurata showed a relieved expression on his face, and said with a smile: "Of course, it's not just this, there are some things, such as ......"

Soon, the editor-in-chief Kurata told him some things about coming to him.

To put it simply, the publisher is optimistic about him, and will spend a lot of resources on him in the future, such as publicity or animation of his works.

All in all, it was all something that was beneficial to him, and after hearing it, Lin Yi was a little surprised.

Of course, these are also conditional.,For example, don't draw hot-blooded comics in the future.,It's better to focus on everyday comics and the like.。

It seems that this time the results of "Demon Slayer" made the publishing house a little worried.

Of course, these good resources also need certain conditions to obtain, for example, the next comic needs to reach the results of previous works such as "Unheard of Flower Names".

Probably because the publishing house was also worried that Lin Yi was really Jiang Lang's temptation.

After thinking about it, Lin Yi finally agreed.

It can be said that both parties are quite pleasant.

It's just that before leaving, Lin Yi asked about Junko Machida, wanting to see if he could make Junko Machida his editor again.

It's a pity that this matter was rejected by the editor-in-chief Kurata, which also made Lin Yi a little pity, after all, Machida Junko was really serious about helping himself before.

When he got home, he called Machida Junko to ask what mistake caused the incident, and Machida Junko didn't make it clear.

However, just a few days after Lin Yi called Junko Machida, Junko Machida called again.

"Hello? Miss Junko, what is the matter? After picking up the phone, Lin Yi asked.

"I'm here to tell you something......" Junko Machida's voice was a little low, and she could vaguely hear crying and anger: "The halving of your "Demon Slayer Blade" is the ghost of the publishing house Kurata!" ”

Speaking of this, Junko Machida was angry, and when she was in the toilet, she happened to hear what several employees of the statistics department said when they walked in, and then she knew the truth of the matter.

"In order to let you change the comic drawing, and also to transfer you from my hands, increase the power of his subordinates, and make people manipulate the popularity ranking."

“…… I don't know if you believe it or not, I'm just telling you the truth. ”

After saying that, Junko Machida hung up the phone.

And Lin Yi held his mobile phone and listened to the sound of beeping, and a light seemed to flash in his mind.

"No wonder ......"

No wonder how the comics that are still above the waist line fell below the waist line all of a sudden!

It's all about getting him to draw everyday comics that they think he's best at!

And I'm afraid that there is also the meaning of the three fires in the new official, and Machida Junko is the one who was burned.
