Tokyo life starting with painting

This is the editor-in-chief who came from heaven.

You must know that this is the editor-in-chief of "Chiyo".

To be able to be the new editor-in-chief of Shiniwa Publishing House, this editor-in-chief Seo must be outstanding.

Even if Editor-in-Chief Seo ends up resigning, this is still the talent that Higashino Division currently needs.

Yes.

Although I want to create a reading platform on the Internet, I need a chief editor and an editor.

It’s impossible for him to really rely on the sole assistance of Tomishima Publishing House to maintain the entire comic reading platform, right?

When the time comes for online platforms to emerge, this kind of manga reading platform will definitely be taken a share of the pie by Tomishima Publishing House or Shin Iwazuki Publishing House.

Higashinoji doesn't think capitalists will make sense.

Therefore, the online platform created by Higashinoji definitely requires a certain ability to produce comics on its own.

For this reason, whether it is an illustration exchange website like Pixiv or an online comic reading platform, it requires a chief editor, reviewer, or editor.

But.

In Japan, talents in the editing industry are basically monopolized by publishing houses. Most talents who want to be editors want to work in large publishing houses.

Therefore, these people are not easy to find. Even if Higashino asked Yano Ryuichi of Higashino Studio to pay special attention, it is still difficult to find talents in this field.

And now that Editor-in-Chief Seo is coming to his doorstep, Higashinoji would be a bit stupid if he doesn't take the initiative to win.

Moreover, Editor-in-Chief Seo, who is an insider in the editing industry, must know many fellow editors. With his guidance, he may be able to pull up the first batch of editorial teams belonging to Higashinoji.

Only a fool would let this opportunity pass!

Thinking of this, Higashinoji walked directly to Editor Nozawa and the others who were chatting quietly just now, and greeted the two editors with a smile:

"Hello, Editor Nozawa and Editor Kosaka."

As a regular customer of Tomishima Publishing House, of course he knows most of the editors.

Editor Nozawa and Editor Kosaka, who were chatting just now, are obviously very impressed by Higashinoji.

Especially Editor Nozawa, whose lazily sitting posture just now became extremely upright - you must know that Higashino Tsukasa in front of him is the pillar of the comics department of Tomishima Publishing House.

If it weren't for Higashinoji, the editors in the comics department might be scolded every day like the editors in the literature department next door.

The literary department of Tomishima Publishing House has been scolded because it has not been able to compete with the literary department of Shin-Iwazuki Publishing House for a long time. It usually dares not to straighten its back. The reason is the lack of pillar authors like Higashino Tsukasa.

Therefore, Editors Nozawa and Kosaka both respect Higashinoji: "Teacher Higashino, are you here to submit a manuscript? Do you need us to help you contact Team Leader Hosokawa?"

"Don't bother me. I just want to ask the two editors about something. It's about Editor-in-Chief Seo."

Touyesi waved his hand and told his purpose with a smile.

So that’s what happened.

Although they didn't know what Higashinoji's purpose was in asking about the editor-in-chief of Iwazuki Publishing House, Nozawa and Kosaka did not hide what they knew and told Higashinoji everything they knew.

Of course, the two of them also played a trick here.

It's just that the way he spoke was rather formulaic. He didn't praise Editor-in-Chief Seo as much as he did just now. He just simply sought truth from facts.

They can't brag about another company's editor-in-chief in front of their own main author, right?

"So that's it." Higashinoji quickly understood the situation of Chief Editor Seo, which was a bit funny.

I have to say that this editor-in-chief Seo is indeed very unlucky.

This is not only because he met Higashino Tsukasa and the invincible "Hansawa Naoki", but also because he met authors like Horikoshi Hanpei.

In fact, his editor-in-chief position is very stable.

But it was because of the "Concrete Corpse Dumping Case" scandal involving Horikoshi Hanpei, whom he had always admired, that the entire editorial department issued an apology.

And because Horikoshi Hanpei was still unwilling to express his apology to the people, he had to directly stop the other party's serialization and terminate the cooperative relationship.

This is equivalent to the fact that the mainstay author that Chief Editor Seo has been cultivating has been wasted, and it has also led to the greatly weakened influence of Shin Iwazuki Publishing House's "Chiyo" manga magazine.

After all, a comic magazine losing its mainstay author is like losing a flower that attracts bees to pick. Although the roots are still there, it still has a great impact on pollination.

Originally, "Chiyo" could not compete with "Heshi", and the termination of the cooperative relationship with Horikoshi Hanpei made things worse.

As the main decision-maker at the time, Editor-in-Chief Seo must have shouldered the blame, although most of the blame was the mess dumped on him by Hanpei Horikoshi.

In addition, after the merger of the two major publishing houses, Yanjiao and Mozhu, the upper-level directors also had factional disputes. His position as editor-in-chief was not secure, and naturally there were people who wanted to put someone from his own faction in this position. .

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Higashinoji lamented that he was extremely unlucky.

This is simply internal and external troubles, the modern version of 'Naoki Hansawa'. No, his current situation may be even more difficult than Naoki Hansawa.

After all, there is an invincible comic book author called 'Higashinoji' out there.

But from Higashinoji’s personal perspective.

Higashinoji wishes he could take the blame as much as possible. It would be best if Editor-in-Chief Seo is forced to resign and live on the street.

This will make it easier for him to poach.

But this is just a thought at most.

Editor-in-chief Seo's annual salary is at least 18 million yen.

As the editor-in-chief of a giant publishing house, it is impossible for him to have no savings.

Tonoji temporarily stopped thinking about it, but he did not forget to send a text message to Ryuichi Yano at Tono Studio, asking him to pay attention to the news of Seo, the editor-in-chief of New Iwazhu Publishing House.

If the other party really resigns, then don't hesitate to poach Chief Editor Seo directly.

Thinking of this, Higashinoji said hello to the two editors and looked for Hosokawa Koharu.

The main reason he came here this time was to hand in the manuscript of "Hanzawa Naoki", and of course he did not forget this.

That is to say, when Higashinoji turned in the manuscript, today's editor-in-chief Seo was also staring at the comic magazines under Shin Iwazuki Publishing House, hoping to find newcomers with outstanding data and upgrade them to "Chiyo" The comic magazine has made him a new pillar author.

but

"Sure enough, it's not that easy to find."

Chief Editor Seo withdrew his gaze.

Even without comparing it to Higashino Tsukasa's "Naoki Hansawa", he couldn't find a manga that could sustain the current scene of "Chiyo".

and

Editor-in-Chief Seo seemed to have thought of something, and sighed deeply.

He has been frequently called to meetings by board members in the past few days, and most of the issues discussed are trivial issues.

At the same time, Editor-in-Chief Seo also discovered that his deputy editor-in-chief, the editor of the faction of Iwakaku Publishing House, was taking advantage of his absence to become familiar with the position of Chief Editor-after all, the Chief Editor was not present at the meeting. The only person in charge of the overall situation is the deputy editor.

Editor-in-chief Seo was also aware of this change.

I'm afraid his position as editor-in-chief is no longer guaranteed.

Similarly, Shin Iwa Tsuki Publishing House's behavior of wanting to sharpen its sword quickly towards him, an old minister, also gave Chief Editor Seo a little chill.

Of course he knows that an editor-in-chief who cannot create profits is of little use to Xinyanzhu Publishing House, and being forced to "take the blame and resign" is also a very normal thing in the workplace.

But it should be chilling or chilling. In the final analysis, humans are still emotional animals.

"It seems that there is no way to find a major work before leaving office." Editor-in-chief Seo seemed a little helpless.

This feeling of being alone and helpless is really uncomfortable.

Even a few editors with whom he has good personal relationships will avoid him when they meet him, for fear that the new editor-in-chief will take office to settle scores.

But to be honest.

What did Seo Daigo do wrong?

If he hadn't been able to stabilize the military morale of "Chiyo", the current "Chiyo" would have become a mess.

Instead, he wanted to see how the new editor-in-chief would deal with this mess.

Thinking of this, Seo Daigo also groaned in anger.

In this way, until the end of the day, Chief Editor Seo still found nothing.

Unable to do anything, he could only walk towards home.

After all, although he was frustrated at work, he could still find some warm feelings at home.

His daughter Seo Shizuru is a sophomore in high school this year. She is very obedient and well-behaved. She usually goes home to cook for him after class and waits until he gets off work.

As for Seo Daigo, his wife died of illness a few years ago. Now he and his daughter depend on each other.

As the saying goes, a daughter is her father's little cotton-padded jacket. Seo Shizuru is so worry-free, which makes Seo Daigo feel very happy.

He took out the key, opened the door and walked to the living room, only to find Seo Shizuru holding a comic magazine and reading it.

When he saw his father coming back, Seo Shizuru, who had short hair, immediately turned his head and said hello: "Welcome back, dad."

"Yeah." Seo Daigo walked to the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water. While drinking the water, he asked: "What comic magazine are you reading? Is it "Chiyo" from our Iwazuki Publishing House?"

"Ah? No." Shizuru Seo didn't even turn his head and said with some disgust:

"Dad, these few issues of your "Chiyo" are too ugly, and many girls in our class are now discussing "Hansawa Naoki". I can't keep up with their topics if I don't read it carefully."

Cough cough cough cough

Seo Daigo, who was still drinking water, almost choked to death at his daughter's words.

When he went home, he was still thinking that the little cotton-padded jacket at home could give him some warmth. Who knew that today the little cotton-padded jacket not only failed to provide warmth, but also made him feel the biting cold like a blade.

Not only did I not give myself any warmth, I also bought a copy of "He Shi"! This obvious act of siding with the enemy made Seo Daigo think of only one word.

What a rebellious woman!

Seo Daigo walked to his daughter and saw that she was still reading "Hansawa Naoki" with a serious look on her face. He was so angry that he couldn't help but hummed twice more.

But he couldn't complain to his daughter, so he could only look at her from time to time while eating the food cooked by the other party.

As if aware of his father's piercing gaze, Seo Shizuru couldn't help but raise his head: "Dad, do you have anything else to do?"

It's like a child having a tantrum. He won't talk to you, but at the same time he's grunting, trying to get your attention.

Seeing that his daughter finally turned around, Seo Daigo replied nonchalantly:

"Actually, "Hansawa Naoki" is just like that. Take a look at this issue of "Chiyo". There are many good-looking comics in it, and they are definitely better than "Hansawa Naoki"."

After saying this.

Seo Daigo didn't know what his daughter was thinking, but his conscience hurt a little anyway.

"Really?" Seo Shizuru continued to turn over the book "He Shi" in his hand.

Obviously, this rebellious girl didn't pay any attention to his father's words and was completely immersed in "Hansawa Naoki".

Seeing her like this, Seo Daigo next to him couldn't help but glance at her sideways.

Until Shizuru Seo sighed after watching "Naoki Hansawa":

"Hey, this week's "Naoki Hansawa" is so beautiful. Especially Naoki Hansawa's expression. Dad, aren't you also an editor at a publishing house? Do you know Mr. Higashino? I almost want to ask him for his autograph. .”

"." Seo Daiwu.

She is indeed a rebellious woman.

Not only did he support the enemy, but he also asked the author who was the pillar of the enemy's publishing house for his signature.

How can this be? !

In particular, Higashino Tsukasa, the mainstay author, tortured him and the "Chiyo" manga magazine for a long time.

This is simply

Seo Daigo replied angrily: "I am the editor-in-chief of Iwazuki Publishing House, and I do not have the contact information of Mr. Higashino. But I have the contact information of other famous manga authors of "Chiyo". How about it? Do you want to consider their contact information? sign?"

"Hey - I don't want it, I just want Mr. Higashino's signature." Seo Shizuru replied with a long voice and a look of disgust on his face. He stood up and went to the bathroom to take a bath.

"Wait a minute, Shizuru! Ten! I can find at least ten signatures from manga authors who are more senior than Mr. Higashino!"

Seo Daigo was angry that all the writers of his manga magazine could not match Higashino Tsukasa's popularity, so he simply made a gesture.

But this didn't impress Seo Shizuru at all. She just replied, "One hundred pictures are not as good as one from Mr. Higashino, so there is no need at all" and went into the bathroom to take a bath.

Seo Daigo was left to experience the true embarrassment from all sides.

Well, the place where I could feel some warmth was also occupied by Higashinoji.

He was really desperate.

but

"Is "Naoki Hansawa" really that good-looking?"

Editor-in-Chief Seo glanced at "Wayo" placed on the table.

Of course he had studied "Naoki Hansawa" as the editor of Shin Iwazuki Publishing House, but he had not seriously read the manga from a reader's perspective.

After all, the perspective between the editor and the reader is still very different.

Thinking of this, Editor-in-Chief Seo stretched out his hand to "Heshi" on the table.

This time, he planned to take a serious look at this comic from the perspective of a reader and an office worker.

It truly describes the psychology of many office workers.

He wants to see what kind of real law it is!
