Tokyo life starting with painting

Toshinichi Mita is a middle-aged man with a fairly decent appearance.

It's just that after the last burn at PW Animation, it took him half a year to recover.

With National Health Insurance and compensation from the former PW Company and now Higashino Studio, he has nothing to worry about at home even if he is laid up for half a year.

But even so, Toshimichi Mita still felt that he had dedicated more than half a year to the company.

You deserve to receive preferential treatment.

Yes.

A veteran of the former dynasty like himself must receive preferential treatment.

Moreover, I am highly regarded by people at PW Animation Company.

If nothing else, the treatment given by PW Animation Company in the past is not excessive, right?

First of all, I definitely want the position of general animation director. It will definitely be no problem to rely on my own abilities.

Then there is the absolute say in animation production, which is probably a bit much, and does not respect other creative team members.

But this was what Toshimichi Mita did when he was at PW Animation Company, and none of the creative team members had any objections.

Especially when Toshimichi Mita heard that the current animation director of Higashino Studio is Yano Ryuichi——

He almost laughed outright.

Ryuichi Yano.

He is also an old acquaintance of Toshimichi Mita.

To say they are old acquaintances is actually not quite accurate.

Because when Toshimichi Mita was the general animation supervisor of the main creative team, he basically didn't pay much attention to this insignificant original animation supervisor.

If it weren't for Yano Ryuichi's relationship with the president of PW Animation, he would have a good relationship.

Toshinichi Mita almost wanted to kick Yano Ryuichi out of the creative team.

Therefore, when I heard that Yano Ryuichi had now joined the top three of Higashino Studio.

He also felt a little uncomfortable - of course.

Mita Toshinichi has always been very confident in his own abilities, but when he learned that Yano Ryuichi, whom he had not looked up to before, became Higashinoji's right-hand man, his status may be higher than his own.

The sense of disparity certainly made him feel uncomfortable.

What Yano Ryuichi could do, he felt he could do it too.

And he can do better than Yano Ryuichi.

Therefore, he made some demands that may be unreasonable but very reasonable in accordance with his demands.

In addition, almost every animation produced by Higashino Studio is now a large-scale production, with an investment of tens of millions of yen per episode.

Doesn't this give him more opportunities for Mita Toshinichi?

You must know that when he was at PW Animation Company, he had never seen so much money.

Most of the time, production funds are scrupulously spent.

It's like he goes into battle with no reserve ammunition. Every time he goes to the battlefield, it's a last-ditch fight.

This is simply not enough to eat, and you are forced to fight - you can't win at all.

But now it's completely different.

Higashino Studio's production budget of tens of millions of yen per episode is simply enough to arm him to the teeth - with so much money, he will definitely be able to produce good works.

He is full of hope for his future career as an animation supervisor!

As for whether Dongye Studio doesn't care about him, a veteran of the former government?

This is unlikely.

I have a lot of influence in PW Animation Company.

He thought that as long as he made a phone call, he could have several important original animators from Higashino Studio called over.

This is an influence that cannot be ignored for Tono Studio.

Therefore, no matter what Toshinichi Mita thinks, he does not think that Tono Studio will kick him out.

As for Yano Ryuichi, an old acquaintance.

That has nothing to do with him.

Anyway, he is bound to win the position of general animation director, and he will definitely compete with Yano Ryuichi.

For her husband Toshimichi Mita to be so confident, Riko Mita next to her was a little worried.

She is just an ordinary little Japanese woman who doesn't quite understand the calculations and competition between men.

But making so many demands at once.

No matter how you think about it, this is a bit inappropriate.

So Riko Mita also tried to persuade her husband a little.

But it is obvious that Toshimichi Mita, who has always been high-spirited in the workplace, is very confident and will definitely ignore Riko Mita.

That was when Riko Mita poured a cup of coffee for Toshinichi Mita.

While Mita Toshinichi was on the other side, his cell phone suddenly rang.

This made Riko Mita couldn't help but pick up her phone and glance at the name on it: "Seo Daigo?"

"Is it Seo-san?"

Listening to his wife's murmuring voice, Mita Toshinichi suddenly became energetic: "Riko, bring it over and show it to me."

"Ah good."

Riko Mita also understood that this was probably her husband’s work call.

She handed the phone to the other party, and then watched her husband answer the phone with great enthusiasm:

"Hello? Is this Seo-san? Ah, yes, I am Mita Toshinichi. Um. Oh, have you considered what I said before? I understand."

Toshinichi Mita was still smiling.

It seems that the conversation with Mr. Seo Daigo went smoothly.

but

Mita Riko looked at it and realized something was wrong.

My husband's expression gradually changed.

From the complacency at the beginning, to the hard expression later, to the disbelief at the end——

Immediately afterwards, my husband made a surprised voice: "Seo-san, what did you say? Mr. Higashino refused my request?"

Riko Mita heard this sentence.

She stopped pouring coffee and looked at Mita Toshinichi in a daze.

"Impossible! Why did Mr. Higashino refuse my request? When I was working at PW Animation, it was absolutely right to give it to me like this! Didn't Seo-san show that statistical data to Mr. Higashino?"

Listening to Seo Daigo's words, Toshimichi Mita asked.

Tono Studio actually refused!

This is unreasonable!

You must know that my animation production level is much better than Yano Ryuichi.

How could he refuse so easily?

Toshinichi Mita took a deep breath, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, smiled again and said:

"By the way, Mr. Higashino probably hasn't seen my ability yet. So, please ask Seo-san to help me convince Mr. Higashino and give me a chance. Let Mr. Higashino see my ability first and then it should be fine."

He knew that there was little use in talking on the phone, he could only suppress the anxiety in his heart.

But Seo Daigo on the other end of the phone was probably determined.

No matter how much Toshinichi Mita opened his mouth, the other party would never let go.

And before hanging up the call, Seo Daigo also added this sentence: "It's not that I don't trust your abilities, Mita-san, but Yano-san is an indispensable part of our Higashino Studio. This will not change. "

After saying this, the other party politely said sorry and hung up the call.

This made Toshinichi Mita look at his phone blankly.

How could he not hear the meaning hidden in Seo Daigo's words?

Isn't it because Teacher Higashino was dissatisfied with the fact that he wanted to kick Yano Ryuichi away as soon as he came?

But

"What's wrong with that guy Yano Ryuichi?!"

Mita Toshinichi didn't lose too much, he just hid his anger.

yes.

Why does Yano Ryuichi?

He used to be a dispensable creative member in PW Animation Production Company. Toshinichi Mita didn't kick him out because of the president's face.

but now.

The position has completely changed!

Higashino Studio actually gave up himself for Yano Ryuichi?

This indescribable sense of disparity made him feel indescribably aggrieved.

That's right.

Even if it is a grievance.

He even began to wonder if Yano Ryuichi was deliberately blowing wind in Higashinoji's ears.

Otherwise, Higashinoji wouldn't have made up his mind so quickly and kicked him away!

The more Toshinichi Mita thought about it, the more he thought it was possible.

Because of such an important decision, Higashinoji must discuss it with Seo Daigo and Yano Ryuichi.

Yano Ryuichi must have thought that he was going to steal his position, so he blew the wind in Higashinoji's ear.

After figuring this out, Mita Toshinichi couldn't bear it anymore.

What a bastard! This Yano Ryuichi!

He has only left PW Animation Company for half a year, but he already has such a good relationship with his new boss? You actually want to kick him out!

no! We can't just swallow it!

Mita Toshinichi didn't want Yano Ryuichi to continue to live so comfortably.

So he immediately thought of some of his friends in Dongye Studio.

These friends are basically all old acquaintances from the former PW Animation Company, and their relationship with him is pretty good.

And because they are now important original animators at Higashino Studio.

If he could convince them and win them over to his side, wouldn't it be possible for Higashinoji to see his influence clearly?

That's right! That's it!

Yano Ryuichi seems to be there, and his joining Higashino Studio is the real icing on the cake!

With this in mind, Mita Toshinichi dialed the phone.

Of course the first person he called was the painter with whom he had the best relationship, named Ashikaga Sosuke.

Back then Toshimichi Mita gave him a lot of preferential treatment.

Therefore, the relationship between the two is also very good in PW Animation Company.

At the beginning, Ashikaga Sosuke even joked with a smile, "As long as it is Mita-san's request, I will basically not refuse it."

Mita Toshinichi's call was answered within two minutes.

"Hello? Is this Ashikaga-san? I'm Mita."

"Hey? Mita-san? Have you been discharged from the hospital?"

Ashikaga Sosuke on the other side of the phone made a voice of surprise and joy: "Congratulations on your recovery, Mita-san."

"Haha, thank you Adachi-san for your blessing. That's it. I'm calling this time mainly because I have something to ask you for help."

"Huh? What's the favor? As long as I can help Mita-san, I will do my best."

Ashikaga Kusaka over there spoke very eloquently, and his tone was full of the feeling that it would be perfectly fine to go up a mountain of swords and go down into a sea of ​​fire, or to have his liver and brain wiped out.

Mita Toshinichi was very satisfied with his attitude, and he felt that treating Ashikaga Sosuke preferentially was the best decision he had ever made.

So Tosuke Mita briefly told Sosuke Ashikaga about Higashino Studio and Yano Ryuichi, and expressed the hope that he would come to his side.

After listening to Mita Toshinichi's words, Ashikaga Sosuke on the other side also suddenly fell silent.

"Ashikari-san?" Mita Toshinichi was a little surprised at the other party's sudden silence.

"Ah, I'm still here, Mita-san."

There was a response from the other side.

only.

Toshinichi Mita heard the hesitation in Ashikaga Sosuke's voice.

This made Toshinichi Mita feel baffled.

no

What's there to hesitate about?

Didn't you just say you wanted to be my companion? Do you help with anything?

What about going up mountains of swords and going down seas of fire as promised?

This just makes you stand on my side. Are you hesitant?

Ashikaga Sosuke over there obviously didn't know what Mita Toshichi was thinking.

He refused without much hesitation: "I'm sorry, Mita-san. Although I also want to help you, I really can't do it if I betray Tono Studio."

That's right.

Ashikaga Sosuke couldn't do it.

The working atmosphere at Dongye Studio is very good, and the salary and benefits are among the best in the industry today.

It's hard to find him even with a lantern.

Just for the sake of Mita Toshinichi, he was involved in everything. This is obviously not worth it.

more importantly.

"Teacher Higashino's popularity at Higashino Studio is completely incomparable to what you, Mita-san, were at PW Animation Company."

Ashikaga Kusuke kindly advised: "Mita-san, we are old friends. I want to advise you. Don't think about playing this kind of off-the-table trick. It is impossible to poach those PWs who are working for Mr. Higashino now." For veteran employees.”

Yes.

Higashinoji's current popularity in Higashino Studio is too high.

Ashikaga Sosuke can definitely say that

As long as Higashinoji stays in the studio, the power of the entire studio will be twisted into a rope, and there is no possibility that external energy can intervene.

Especially poaching

Every employee at Higashino Studio has experienced it several times.

After all, the production of two consecutive animations is very superb, so of course someone will be eyeing the original animator of Higashino Studio.

It's just that these poaching methods are useless - a large part of them comes from the influence of Higashinoji's popularity.

".That's right. I understand."

Listening to Ashikaga Sosuke say these words, Mita Toshinichi could only suppress the anger in his heart and hang up the call directly.

Then--

He finally couldn't help but slap the table hard.

no way.

very angry.

You must know that Ashikaga Kousuke is very eloquent before doing things, but when he really needs his help, he turns into a soft-footed shrimp.

Why isn't he angry?

I used to give you preferential treatment. Now I’m giving you preferential treatment to a dog!

Toshinichi Mita only felt that treating Ashikaga Sosuke preferentially before was the stupidest thing he had ever done!

none of them!

But being angry, Toshinichi Mita finally gritted his teeth and went through the contacts on his phone one by one.

Originally, he thought he could rely on his own popularity to support him and at least attract one or two people to stand up for him.

result

"not a single one."

Mita Toshido was dumbfounded.

I was really dumbfounded.

No one is willing to help, as long as the matter of Dongye Studio is mentioned.

Everyone will turn around and try to persuade him not to do something stupid.

But what on earth did I do that was stupid?

Now is that bastard Yano Ryuichi trying to drive me away? !

I was just acting in self-defense!

Mita Toshinichi experienced the sufferings of the world in one day - he had never suffered this kind of treatment when he was at PW Company before.

But he hasn't given up yet.

He aimed at the last name on the address book——

Summer on the mountain.
