Izumi Masamune praised: "Actually, Sagiri, I feel a little strange during this period. I want to call you and ask for advice when I have doubts."

Hearing this, Jiang Jing rolled his eyes immediately. He already said that he had no experience in this area. How could this stupid guy still think that he could be some kind of master of picking up girls or a love saint?

In the end, Jiang Jing gave the inexplicably familiar Izumi Masamune his phone number, and then took a taxi back to Sakurasou with Shiina Mashiro.

"Ah ha... This kind of salty life is suitable for me." Jiang Jing, who was a little distracted, yawned and lay lazily on the corridor in the backyard.

"Sorata." Mashiro Shiina, who was drawing on a writing pad, turned around and asked curiously: "What is a salty life?"

Resting his hands on his pillow, Jiang Jing said lazily: "The life of a salted fish means not thinking about anything and not doing anything. I eat and sleep every day. If I want to get up, I go out for a walk. If I don't want to go out, I just lie at home."

"Is this kind of life good?" Mashiro Shiina didn't understand why Jiang Jing liked this kind of dull life of doing nothing.

Jiang Jing smiled: "It's good for me, but for you Mashiro or Misaki-senpai, this living situation is very boring."

"Everyone has different pursuits and desires. For example, you have a talent for oil painting that surpasses most people, but you prefer to draw comics and put them aside."

"Misaki-senpai also has amazing talent for cartoon animation and a wild imagination, and Shen Wen often does things that ordinary people can't understand, and she enjoys it."

"But while gaining, we also lose a lot, because people's energy is limited, and if you focus on one thing, you will ignore other things, such as you, an idiot who doesn't even understand a bit of common sense in life."

"Sora is annoying." Mashiro Shiina puffed her lips slightly.

Jiang Jing ignored her and continued to talk nonsense: "Goal pursuits will continue to change over time. The small ones want to eat beef today and sashimi tomorrow, and the big ones want to be the richest man in the country. Great scientist."

"Then some people work hard to achieve the goals they have set, and then they feel a sense of emptiness, as if their bodies are hollowed out, and then they become boring."

"But most people will find that they don't have this fate. To hell with whatever goals or pursuits they may have, put on your clothes and go to work honestly at dawn." Bored Jiang Jing said, but then it turned into nonsense. Shiina Mashiro was stunned for a while.

"Oh." Shiina Mashiro nodded, with an unclear but serious expression on his face.

Everything was quiet for the next few days, nothing major happened.

Every day, I go out in the morning, and occasionally meet the oversleeping Koutori next door. The three of them nod and say hello, and then go to school on time, take a nap in class, or tease Nanami Aoyama in front of them, and the time passes.

After school in the afternoon, she and Shiina Mashiro would go back from school together. Sometimes Shiina Mashiro and the others would have extra classes, so Jiang Jing would go to the research department to drink tea and tease Himejima Akeno.

Special things seemed to have disappeared. Jiang Jing didn't encounter any extraordinary things except helping Himejima Akeno to 'practice' once during the period.

There was also the red-haired beauty Rias who kept saying she wanted to attack him. She hadn't come back for a long time since she returned to the underworld. Jiang Jing was still waiting for her to launch an attack.

According to Himejima Akeno, Rias is undergoing the family's unique bloodline inheritance test. It seems that her brother has obtained something from the restricted area before, which can help her purify her bloodline and increase her strength.

Shinomiya Kaguya, his intern editor from the same school, was also very knowledgeable and did not disturb him at school. He heard that he had joined the student union with another transfer student.

On the afternoon of Wednesday, June 1st, Jiang Jing, after school, held Shiina Mashiro's backpack in one hand and walked side by side with her in the sunshine.

In other people's eyes, the two of them go to school together every day, eat together, and come out of school together. They look like they are in a relationship and have a good relationship.

Just as Jiang Jing and the others were slowly walking down the slope, a yellow car stopped in front of them.

"Teacher Kanda, Mashiro, your relationship is still so good." In the car, Ayano Iida, who was wearing sunglasses, looked at the two of them with a smile.

Not paying attention to Ayano's teasing, Jiang Jing looked at her calmly: "Editor Iida, it seems like you have something to do with Mashiro?"

"Not only Mashiro, but also Kanda-sensei."

Iida Ayano smiled slightly and looked at the students in front and behind who, like Jiang Jing and others, had not joined the club: "Teacher Kanda, Mashiro, please get in the car first. It seems inconvenient to talk here."

"Friday night celebration party?"

In an elegantly decorated restaurant, Jiang Jing looked at the invitation letter handed over by Ayano Iida, and Mashiro Shiina also had one in his hand.

"Originally, Vice President Uemura should have come to invite you, Kanda-sensei, in person, but I happened to have to deliver it to Mashiro, so I brought it with me." Iida Ayano said with a smile.

"May of this year is a day worthy of celebration for the publishing house. The first light novel fighting competition event has produced two popular works that have sold nearly one million copies per volume each month. The sales of other works are also very impressive."

"The youth campus activity launched jointly with Immortal River has also received a good response. Except for sales, this activity has perfectly achieved the intended purpose of our two publishing houses to promote our emerging writers."

"The most surprising thing is that your work "Dragon and Tiger", Mr. Kanda, was released in three volumes a month. It is becoming more and more popular, and the sales volume has broken the highest sales record in a single month held in the past ten years."

"Although the first volume declined in the later period, its sales volume reached an astonishing 1.47 million copies by the end of the month, and the second volume sold 1.45 million copies."

"Coupled with the third volume, which was released on the 25th, the five-day sales reached 830,000 copies, for a total of 3.75 million copies, making it the sales leader in May."

"And this is only a month. Although the popularity will continue to decline in the future, it will not be able to shake the status of your work as the annual sales leader, Mr. Kanda."

"Not to mention that Vice President Uemura is already preparing a promotion plan for the release of the fourth volume of Kanda-sensei's works. By then..."

"Oh, it's okay."

Facing Ayano Iida who was getting more and more excited as she talked across from him, Jiang Jing just said lightly, then put the invitation letter in his hand on the table and said calmly.

"The celebration party is boring, so I won't go."

"Ah?" Iida Ayano was stunned, a little confused as to why Jiang Jing didn't want to go. It can be said that he would definitely be the focus of the venue after attending this banquet, attracting everyone's attention.

Don’t young people nowadays like this kind of radiant scene where everyone supports and compliments them? Or has she fallen behind?

Looking at the stunned short-haired editor across from him, Jiang Jing changed the subject: "By the way, Mashiro's manga single volumes are selling well, right?"

Speaking of this, Iida Ayano became interested again and said very happily: "The sales volume is very good. On the 25th, 180,000 copies were sold across the state."

"And because of the good publicity and the fact that it was released on the same day as the third volume and distributed through all channels, it is also very popular in other states of Xia Kingdom and other Asian countries."

"As of yesterday, the first comic book volume sold more than 800,000 copies in one week, and the results are already comparable to those of first-line cartoonists."

In fact, Ayano Iida called to announce the good news on the second day after the release. Unfortunately, Shiina Mashiro was rushed to take a shower by Jiang Jing because she soiled her clothes.

Jiang Jing, who answered the call, hung up the phone after saying oh, and his uninterested attitude confused Ayano on the other side.

Ayano Iida looked at Mashiro and smiled happily: "Congratulations Mashiro, your first debut work has reached the level of a first-line manga artist."

"Although it was due to the popularity of Kanda-sensei's work, you completed this comic work alone. It can be said that most of this achievement is due to your efforts."

A faint smile appeared on Jiang Jing's face, because indeed, as Ayano said, comics are different from novels and pay more attention to pictures and expressions.

Otherwise, if a weak person is used to caricature dragons and tigers, even if the popularity and sales are good on the first day, it will become garbage that no one cares about the next day after the reputation plummets.

As a manga editor, she has produced a popular work and a famous manga writer, which are also outstanding qualifications for Ayano personally.

"That's good." Shiina Mashiro nodded calmly.

Suddenly Ayano Iida's eyes moved slightly and she said with a smile: "Mashiro, actually the banquet the day after tomorrow is not just for everyone to eat and celebrate together. The main purpose of the company is actually to allow its authors and cartoonists who are rarely seen to exchange experiences."

"Most of the company's famous cartoonists will attend this banquet, and there will be an exhibition of their outstanding works in the past at the end of the banquet. Maybe after seeing it, it will inspire your comic creation."

Immediately, Shiina Mashiro's eyes brightened slightly, and she felt a little moved, but she did not agree immediately.
