Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

Chapter 862 Hojo, if I die, let my son continue!

Tetsuya Shimomura, who was far away in Chiyoda, Tokyo, was waving his arms excitedly, directing his subordinates to fly to various places to prepare for tomorrow's magazine sales, without knowing that a black pot would fall from the sky.

It was so popular that people all over the country requested more printing. The amount that usually took a whole week to sell out was almost consumed in two days.

Sure enough, when it comes to "how to use Hojo Kyosuke", it is still that guy Kisaki who knows better! Just by linking up with that teacher Futami, the sales of the magazine increased so much at once.

Looking at the employees coming and going in the office area and listening to the ringing of the phone one after another, this scene of boiling oil made Tetsuya Shimomura sure that he would definitely become a great milestone in the history of "Weekly Shonen High" relying on Hojo Kyosuke!

Thinking of this, he felt that his blood was flowing faster and faster, and the dark circles under his eyes were much lighter.

"Hey! Kobayashi, go to the printing department to check the situation quickly! The posters must be increased immediately!" Editor Shimomura commanded loudly.

The staff member who was holding the phone and talking on the other end immediately turned around and answered loudly:

"Yes! We have been communicating, but because it's too..."

"Don't talk nonsense to me, your duty is to complete my request!"

"Hi!"

"Miwako? Have you communicated with several bookstores in Bunkyo District? Make sure to change the sign at the door to Mr. Hojo's tomorrow!"

"Yes! The reprinted "Detective Conan" poster has been sent over. It was made by "Carbonate" for Mr. Hojo. It is very beautiful..."

"Who told you to use a comic poster? I asked you to use a poster of Mr. Hojo! His photo! Photo!"

"Ah? But this is not a book signing event..."

"I can see that you have no brains at all. Stop thinking now and do what I say!"

"Hi! ”

“Ida, you…”

“Hey…”

Commands came out from Tetsuya Shimomura’s mouth, and the people in the entire magazine were chased around by him like chickens and ducks.

It was already past the time to get off work. Although magazines and newspapers are naturally special companies with a considerable number of night shift employees, the number of people in the office building now obviously exceeded the threshold. It was obvious that they were all forced to work overtime voluntarily.

Let alone others, Tetsuya Shimomura has been keeping an eye on the serialization of "Detective Conan" since the day before yesterday. Every page of the picture is repeatedly checked for mistakes, every line in the bubble is repeatedly considered, and every bookstore is personally called to communicate with the boss, begging the other party to promote their comics to customers more...

“Even if your customers have never bought comic magazines, please let them know that this is the latest work of Mr. Hojo Kyousuke when they buy other books! ”

He said so, although this was completely inconsistent with his position as editor-in-chief, and although he had completed these tasks long ago, he just couldn't tolerate any problems with this comic.

Even the plan proposed by Kisaki to push Hojo Kyosuke to the altar, although he knew that Hojo would definitely be unhappy, he still resolutely did it, and tried his best to mobilize the resources of the magazine and even the head office Eishu.

Tonight's TV interview is just a beginning. Tomorrow morning, many writers related to Eishu will publicly express their views on "Hojo Reasoning" and "The Demon of Reasoning". They did not require the writers to clearly support Hojo Kyosuke, and there was no need to do so.

All they wanted was the heat like a volcanic eruption, attracting everyone to buy the latest issue of "Weekly Shonen High" and let everyone read the latest comics of Teacher Hojo.

There will definitely be many people who stand up to attack Teacher Hojo and them. After all, unless the person dies, there will be constant quarrels about calling the ancestor a clan. But they don't mind, or it's better to say that they just want someone to quarrel.

One-sided public opinion is the most boring. There must be two sides for the argument to get more intense. Even passers-by who don't know anything about him will be curious - who exactly is Hojo Kyosuke?

Then they will search for Hojo Kyosuke's name, buy his works, and talk about Hojo Kyosuke to their relatives and friends.

"Our goal is that from today to the next month, every citizen will hear the name of Hojo Kyosuke as soon as they open their eyes, and will continue to think about Hojo Kyosuke until they go to bed!"

This is the bold statement made by Tetsuta Kisaki during a meeting with Tetsuya Shimomura and Aki Akamatsu. At first, the two editors thought it was a fantasy, but as the other party threw out one move after another, Tetsuya Shimomura suddenly realized that this arrogant statement would become a reality.

Because it is visible to the naked eye that after the interview with Futami Jiraiya, the search rate and click rate of Hojo Kyosuke on the Internet are rising rapidly. At the same time, magazines and novel publishers are constantly reporting the latest statistical news. Futami also updates in real time through Twitter and other platforms to tell everyone how many people have become mystery fans because of Hojo Kyosuke.

Such real numbers are really convincing. Even those who are just watching the fun will be curious when they see the growing data - who is Hojo Kyosuke? !

Then walk into the bookstore and pick up a work by Mr. Hojo.

Then become an insignificant one in the latest growing data.

Twist open a bottle of energy drink, drink it up, and throw it into the trash can accurately. At this moment, the trash can is already full of various colorful small bottles, all of which are energy drinks.

Caffeine and taurine quickly take effect, and Shimomura Tetsuya's spirit is visibly better, but the dark circles under his eyes are thicker, as black as ink.

"Xiaolin! You are still standing there..."

Dinglingling——

The ringing of the phone on the desk interrupted the roar of the editor-in-chief Shimomura. He glared at Xiaolin fiercely and quickly bent down to pick up the phone. In this situation today, every call is extremely important!

"Moshimoshi... Ah, it's Mr. Hojo!"

Shimomura Tetsuya's expression became extremely enthusiastic.

Hearing the editor-in-chief's voice, the chaotic and noisy office building instantly became quiet as if the mute button was pressed. Whether it was Kobayashi, who had escaped a disaster and was about to go to work, or Miwako, who was holding the phone with a desperate and tired face, they all turned their heads to stare at Shimomura Tetsuya, or rather, at the phone receiver in the other party's hand.

Hojo Kyosuke, who was about to ask for an explanation, subconsciously closed his mouth when he heard the excited voice from the other side.

Even through the phone, he could hear the fatigue in the other party's voice.

"Hojo, you want to ask about the new comics, right? Hahaha, I was just wondering when you would call. Sure enough, facing such a thing, even you can't be calm!"

Shimomura Tetsuya laughed loudly, he raised the microphone and signaled to his subordinates, and winked and made a strange expression, indicating that we want to surprise Teacher Hojo.

"..."

Hojo Kyosuke's face froze. Can he say that he didn't care about comics at all during the two days of vacation?

After two awkward laughs, he said in a tone of "you actually saw through me":

"Ah... Yes, it's like this, I was so nervous that I didn't sleep well last night."

"Hahaha, I and everyone in the magazine didn't sleep all night either!"

Shimomura Tetsuya laughed.

"It feels like I'm fighting side by side with Hojo-sensei..."

Kobayashi leaned against the door frame and whispered, inexplicably, his nose and eyes felt a little sore.

"Is that so..."

For a moment, Hojo Kyosuke actually felt a little guilty, but in just a moment, he rescued himself with his flexible moral bottom line. After all... Although he almost forgot everything about Tokyo, his image has always been active on TV!

Reading the error-free version! 6=9+Shu_Bar's first novel.

Who, didn't Futami-sensei keep shouting his name? It was Hojo Kyosuke who was scolded by others! Can this say that he didn't fight?

He asked more and more confidently: "If possible, can I have a word with everyone in the editorial department?"

Shimomura Tetsuya understood and pressed the hands-free key, and then Hojo Kyosuke's loud voice came from the phone:

"Thank you all for your efforts for me and "Detective Conan". After winning, I will personally celebrate for you."

It was visible to the naked eye that Kobayashi's listless face leaning against the door frame was flushed with blood, as if he had drunk a stack of energy drinks.

"Long live Mr. Hojo!"

He raised his hand and shouted.

Then a series of onboard sounds sounded, and Hojo Kyosuke subconsciously thought that good luck was coming.

Editor-in-chief Shimomura waved his hand, asking his excited subordinates to go back to work, and then he started talking to the microphone again:

"Teacher Hojo should have seen the interview with Teacher Futami, right? Wow! That's really amazing! I didn't expect him to be so bold."

This guy's IQ is not to be underestimated. His subordinates saw Teacher Hojo fighting side by side with them, but when he heard someone say that, he immediately realized that the other party didn't care about the comics at all. After all, the other party's nature was there.

If it wasn't because of the comics, why did Hojo call?

It only took Shimomura Tetsuya half a second to think of a possibility and ask for culpability.

So, we must quickly get rid of the blame!

"Even Futami-sensei, a professor at the Faculty of Literature at the University of Tokyo, has become a loyal fan of yours, Hojo. What a terrifying charm! I was shocked when I first heard him say that he would help you raise the banner of the "Hojo Mystery" genre. I wanted to persuade him to calm down and think long-term, but who knew that Futami-sensei disagreed at all, and even cursed directly, saying that I was unworthy of being your editor, and I was so timid even about such a thing.

Eh... I am so ashamed. As your editor, Hojo, I know your talent better than anyone else, but I let others run in the front..."

Editor Shimomura said a lot of sensational words in a very sincere manner, and finally shouted:

"But! Don't worry, Hojo! I will definitely not let down the situation created by Futami-sensei and Kisaki! Although I haven't slept for two days and two nights, I will continue to stay up tonight and make sure your name is heard throughout the world. Let everyone recognize "Hojo Mystery"! "

Hojo Kyosuke was so frightened that he didn't care about causing trouble, and hurriedly advised:

"You should go to sleep. I'm really afraid that you will die before I finish the call!"

He said it very directly. Simply staying up late will not cause sudden death, but staying up late and then doing high-intensity work is really the god of death knocking on the door.

When Shimomura Tetsuya heard this, he knew that this stage was over, and his emotions became more full.

"Hojo! Don't underestimate the consciousness of an editor! You are not the only one who wants to create a good work! For someone like me, seeing a work that is destined to create history is a hundred times happier than seeing my own son born! I will do my best and bet everything to push you and your work to the altar!"

"..."

Hojo Kyosuke was speechless for a moment, because he thought of Shimomura's son Masao, who should also be in Tokyo at this time, following Kisaki's arrangement to promote on the Internet...

Why do I suddenly feel like I have become a landlord who is madly exploiting Shimomura and his son?

Not only blood, but also tears and soul are red. Someone was shocked by this idea and hurriedly comforted himself:

'I paid the money! I paid the highest salary! Besides, I asked Shimomura to rest but he didn't listen! If I really want to say this, I, as the boss, am the one who is forced to roll up! '

Thinking through everything with an extremely flexible moral bottom line, Hojo Kyosuke felt refreshed. Yes, he never made any request to editor Shimomura and Kisaki about the performance of the new comics. It was all these guys who were working hard on their own.

It would be fine if he worked hard on his own, but he also asked him, the boss, to work hard as well.

"Go on the show", "signing session", "extra", "..."

He rejected all the requests that made the listeners cry, otherwise he would have been sleepless for two days and two nights like Shimomura. Thinking about Kisaki who was tempted by him with beautiful women to take a vacation, Hojo Kyosuke actually felt that he was the best boss in the world.

Yes, I will call Kisaki later and ask him to say thank you to me.

Hojo Kyosuke thought to himself, and then seriously advised editor Shimomura a few more words. Shimomura Tetsuya, who was determined to leave his name in the company history with the legendary editors of all generations, naturally would not listen. So he had to change his words and said that if the other party died suddenly, he would definitely take good care of his son for him.

"I heard from Xisaki that Masao is also helping with publicity work. This kid can finally do something serious."

Editor Shimomura's voice was a little lower:

"Hojo, I'm very happy. Masao's mother was so happy that she cried when she heard it. Thank you, Hojo."

"..."

Even if someone is as shameless as someone, he almost couldn't hold it in when he heard this. If it was the Yukinoshita sisters, he would definitely think that they were mocking him.

But if the target was the kind and filial Shimomura father and son, he could only force a smile and say:

"This is what I should do. After all, Masao is also my subordinate." (End of this chapter)
